Chapter 52: The Arch of Chastity
"Yes, I do have some ideas, the prince and Ji Xunxue, that is very suitable, in order to contribute to the stability of the country in the future." The old emperor did not deny it, but confessed to Long Xiaoshui.
The palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat.
"You and the crown prince, although their identities are different, but the two of you are the most capable princes among all my princes, so over the years, I have favored the two of you, and each handed over to the management of our criminal department and the official department, in order to train you, and now when it comes to your marriage, I can't be sloppy." The old emperor spoke reasonably.
Long Xiaoshui was silent when she heard this, thinking to herself, Ji Xunxue's identity, most of the people in the royal family, know in their hearts that if she marries Long Xiaofeng, then Long Xiaofeng may really be the emperor in the future, if she marries herself, then it is really unknown who the emperor of the Qi Heavenly Kingdom will be in the future.
The most important thing is that if he marries Ji Xunxue, he doesn't have to marry Leng Manyan, an ugly bastard.
What Ji Xunxue looks like, he has seen it, and he thinks that he is not much worse than Leng Manyan when he is facing the pretty face that captivates the country and the city.
Thinking about these in his heart, Long Xiaoshui changed his mind, "Father Chrysostom said that the sons and daughters should obey their father's wishes and listen to their father's decisions, but the sons and gods decided the marriage of the adults!" ……”
"I understand, then cancel the marriage I gave you? Give you and Ji Xunxue a marriage again? "The old emperor pushed the boat down the river.
"Son-in-law thanks father, long live father, long live long live." Long Xiaoshui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally got rid of Leng Manyan, the ugly monster, and he was even more busy thanking the old emperor.
In this way, following Long Xiaoshui personally admitted that he had canceled the marriage, Leng Manyan did not have to marry Long Xiaoshui again.
Originally, when things came to this point, it could be said to be perfect, but this acting had to be done to a full extent, as if dealing with a person like Long Xiaoshui who didn't eat soft and hard, and Leng Manyan couldn't be sloppy.
"What's the matter, the prince is ugly? The prince doesn't want to marry Manyan? Leng Manyan pretended to be extremely disappointed, and quickly approached Long Xiaoshui and questioned Long Xiaoshui.
"I'm sorry, Lord God, this king is also lost for a while, so ......"
"Slap ......" Leng Manyan didn't think about it, Long Xiaoshui hadn't finished speaking, she just raised her hand and slapped Long Xiaoshui in the face.
Oh, my God! This is beating his son in front of the emperor!
The old emperor's face changed several times, he was angry in his heart, and said in his heart, is there still him in the eyes of this cold manyan? On the other hand, Long Xiaofeng and Long Xiaoshui were surprised, and the two of them secretly shouted, isn't this Leng Manyan crazy? How bold are you?
"You...... How dare you...... Dare to hit this king? Long Xiaoshui lost his voice.
"Haha...... You said you want me, but you don't want me, I go out, what will others think of me, I am not insulted by you like this, it is better to be given death by the emperor here, feel more comfortable, the emperor please give me cold words! Haha......" Leng Manyan pretended to be crazy with pretense, and in the end, he laughed out loud.
This laughter seems to be really crazy, and it seems to be fake crazy, anyway, it makes Long Xiaoshui have goosebumps all over his body.
"Father...... Father, son-in-law still have to deal with some matters in the Criminal Department, so they will ...... Retired ......" Seeing that Leng Manyan was a little crazy with anger, Long Xiaoshui was a little frightened, and hurriedly retired to the old emperor.
The old emperor didn't say much, just made a bitter face, nodded and let Long Xiaoshui leave.
After Long Xiaoshui pulled his legs and quickly disappeared outside the imperial study, Leng Manyan came back to his senses from his crazy state, and even knelt down to the old emperor to ask for his guilt, "The emperor asks for forgiveness, Manyan was just bold, and he beat the prince, and the emperor is diligent in forgiving his sins." ”
"You! Indeed, he was bold enough to dare to do so in front of me...... However, he should be beaten, just because of his chaos and abandonment, I also want to beat him, so you should teach him a lesson for me! The old emperor was angry at first, but halfway through his words, he lost his temper.
Anyway, this matter is that Long Xiaoshui is sorry for Leng Manyan first, not Leng Manyan is sorry for him, the old emperor is always old, but he is not confused, and he takes this qiē into his eyes.
"Alright, you can change your face back! I look at your face, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it. The impatient old emperor said to Leng Manyan with a sullen face.
"Obey." Leng Manyan responded, and immediately reached into his hair and pulled out a few silver needles inserted in his forehead.
With these silver needles pulled out, Leng Manyan's face regained its original beauty.
The old emperor was a little stunned and asked, "What kind of technique do you have, why is it so magical, that you can change people's appearance?" ”
"Your Majesty, this is the use of silver needles to stimulate acupuncture points, in order to change the distribution of facial skin, and then achieve the effect of makeover, in medical technology, this acupuncture method is called 'acupoint lifting', although it is a little painful, but the effect is excellent, and there are no side effects." Leng Manyan explained to the old emperor.
She is skilled in medical treatment, and using silver needles to change her appearance is just a piece of cake for her.
The old emperor clapped his hands appreciatively, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Now that you are satisfied, I will marry you now and promise you to the crown prince?" The old emperor smiled for a while and asked Leng Manyan.
"No, Your Majesty, please also give Manyan a chaste archway." Leng Manyan shook his head and opened his mouth to say this.
Long Xiaofeng and the old emperor listened silly at the same time.
You know, in Qi Tianguo, the chastity arch represents purity, all the women who get the emperor's royal chastity archway, either do not marry in this life, or die with the chastity archway, besides, this chastity card visit is mostly given to widows, Leng Manyan has not yet married, what does she want this chastity archway to do?
"What do you mean, Lord God?" The old emperor questioned.
"Your Majesty, your decree to give marriage can no longer be withdrawn, although the prince Lin has canceled the marriage by himself, but after all, the emperor is the king of a country, Chrysostom and Yuyan, can not go back on his word, so, in order to save the emperor's face, but also to protect Manyan after leaving the palace, not to be talked about, Manyan specially begged the emperor to give Manyan a chaste archway, in this way, the emperor can destroy the marriage, all the things on the head of Manyan, in order to protect the emperor's majesty, but also to protect Manyan's reputation." Leng Manyan's words were reasonable, so that the old emperor had no way to object.
This time, Long Xiaoshui ruined the marriage, Leng Manyan will definitely be talked about when he goes out, and the old emperor will definitely be used as a joke after dinner.
How can the king of this country, even if he has made a holy decree, have a gift of repentance?
The more he thought of this, the more the old emperor felt that what Leng Manyan said was particularly right, and he was hateful at the moment, and sighed, "Okay then! I can only wronged you, so I will give you this chaste archway called Zhonglie! ”
"Thank you, Lord Long." Leng Manyan lowered his head with a solemn expression.
Long Xiaofeng was happy, and stood up first, "Father, this chaste archway can't be given!" If this chastity archway is given, then God will not be able to marry in the future, this ......"
"I know your worries, don't worry, you like God to marry her, I will never stop you, I give God this chastity archway, after I ascend to heaven, God can ignore the bundle of chastity archway, and marry someone, now you are satisfied, right?" The old emperor was also a reasonable and courteous person.
Knowing that Long Xiaofeng likes Leng Manyan, the old emperor will also Leng Manyan's chaste archway, set up different from other chaste archways, after all, this chaste archway is called Zhonglie, that is, the chaste archway of loyalty, that Leng Manyan after the death of the old emperor, you can ignore the chastity archway etiquette, get married.
This is the old emperor's greatest gift to Leng Manyan.
"The son thanked his father."
"Thank you to the emperor."
Both of them thanked the old emperor, but the old emperor waved his hand silently, telling the two to stand back and leave, he wanted to be quiet alone.
In the afternoon, Leng Manyan's marriage was annulled, and it immediately spread among the Qi capital, and for a while, everyone was talking about it again.
What kind of story is there in the marriage that was just given in the morning and was annulled in the afternoon?
Just when everyone was still speculating about the reason, in the evening, a tall chaste archway lifted out of the emperor appeared in the Shenduan Mansion and answered everyone's questions.
According to the call of the old emperor, everyone understood, it turned out that Leng Manyan didn't want to marry, and took the initiative to ask for the abolition of the marriage contract, and then begged the old emperor to give the chaste archway, and the reason for the annulment of the holy decree was all pushed to Leng Manyan's head, on the contrary, Long Xiaoshui actually became a victim.
But the real victim is Leng Manyan.
Then many people can't help but ask, why did Leng Manyan do this? But who knows the answer except Leng Manyan?
In the wide courtyard in the front yard of the Shenduan Mansion, Leng Manyan looked at the chaste archway standing on the ground in the middle of the compound, and the corners of her mouth twitched into a mocking smile.
"I'm sorry, I will definitely compensate you well in the future, you have done too much for our royal family." Long Xiaofeng stood beside Leng Manyan and apologized to Leng Manyan in a low voice.
"No need to compensate, this is what I want, Long Xiaoshui won't dare to bother me anymore in the future, isn't this just to make me clean?" Leng Man's tone replied flatly.
"But you can't marry before your father dies! I ......" Long Xiaofeng cried out slightly gloomily, but at the end of the sentence, he was speechless.
This chastity archway, on behalf of as long as the old emperor is alive for a day, he must not touch the cold man, otherwise even if he is the prince, he will still be punished by the emperor, this is the chastity arch in ancient times has a deterrent.
In this regard, Leng Manyan just smiled, or that sentence, now she can't fully believe in Long Xiaofeng's feelings for her, Leng Manyan wants this chaste archway, in fact, it is for Long Xiaofeng.
She just wanted to see if Long Xiaofeng could wait for her, if he couldn't even wait for this little time, then Leng Manyan would firmly believe that he was blind.
