Chapter Eighty-Eight: Refusal to Marry in Front of the Palace
The night breeze of early summer with a slight coolness, blowing the calm lake surface of the Taiye Pool, there is a magnificent palace in the center of the Taiye Pool, called Guangling Palace, from the previous dynasty is the Shengsong and Man Dance, the royal palace banquet is held, at this time the palace is brightly lit, there are melodious music and laughter from the palace, today the prince returned to Chang'an, brought a lot of good news back, the King of Qin also passed the good news, Xie Yunlong Yan Dayue, he took advantage of the pleasure to invite the ministers to hold a dinner!
After staggering for a while, Xie Yun said with a little drunkenness: "More than three years ago, I was forced to leave Beijing for Jinyang due to the situation, and I couldn't even see my wife for the last time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWho would have thought that there would be such a scenery now, but it's a pity that Wanying, she can't enjoy this scenery with me. "Wanying is the name of the first queen.
"Father, today is a happy day, why should my father think about those sad pasts, my mother must also hope that our family will be happy in heaven." Xie Yunzhi comforted softly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, Su Peizhi and the people and horses who went north have now been wiped out by the Fufeng Army, that Chen Luo and Su Hongmao are holding each other back, no one can go north for the time being, His Royal Highness the Prince's trip to Luoyang, although he did not fight with them, but he rescued the son of the Wang family, with the help of the Wang family, he can help us, Zhang Chu's team has returned to Western Qin, and now the situation in Great Wei is very good, why should Your Majesty feel nostalgic for the past." Pei Zhi smiled and echoed.
"That's right, there are many happy events today, I should think of something happy, but it's a pity that Rong Hua hasn't rushed back yet, otherwise the banquet will be more lively." Xie Yun touched his beard and smiled.
"Father, don't worry, he is already on his way back, and in a few days, my father will be able to see him." Xie Muyan said with a smile, she looked around the hall, but she didn't find Wang Chengzhi, and couldn't help but wonder Xie Yunzhi: "Didn't you say that the eldest brother saved Wang Gongzi?" Why didn't you see Wang Gongzi come to the dinner? ”
"He still had injuries on his body, and the doctor told him to stay in bed to recuperate, so I didn't bring him over." Xie Yunzhi replied.
"It's hard for him to escape death." Xie Yun sighed lightly, the changes of the Wang family in Luoyang, he had already heard of it, Wang Ke and his wife lost their lives, the Wang family is now leaderless, and various side branches are vying to snatch the position of the patriarch of the Wang family, they are afraid that no one expected that Wang Chengzhi is still alive, and now he has released the rumors, presumably soon, the big patriarchs of the Wang family will come to Chang'an to find their future patriarch, although the Wang family has hurt their vitality, but the foundation is still there, if they have their help, then their power can have a full growth.
After some sighing, Xie Yun smiled and said: "You shouldn't talk about those troublesome things today, you have been born and died with me for many days, I have rewarded you with high-ranking officials, gold and silver treasures, I am happy today, how about giving you beauties again?" ”
Xie Yun said and tapped his palms, and a team of young women in pink gauze clothes rushed in, all of them were as delicate as flowers, with a trace of shyness and fear on their faces, no one knew what fate awaited them?
Everyone under the seat looked at the beauties in the palace with hot eyes, they heard that Xie Yun rewarded Xie Ronghua with ten stunning beauties, they were envious in their hearts, they didn't expect that they could have such an opportunity today, they stood up and thanked Xie Yun loudly, but although they were itching, they also knew their identities, and bowed down to ask the prince Xie Yunzhi to choose first.
Xie Yunzhi waved his hand and excused himself: "Father, I am accompanied by the crown princess, and there are several side concubines and concubines in the house, this beauty, let it be given to other people who need it more." ”
The women in the palace listened to her words, their expressions were a little darker, they were not selected to enter the Qin Palace, they originally heard that the prince was coming back today, and thought that there would be a chance to be favored by the prince, but they didn't expect him to refuse directly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really considerate of his subordinates." Officials exclaimed.
Xie Yun smiled: "Since you said so, I can't force you. He motioned to everyone to come forward one by one according to the merits of the official position, and when it was Teng Xuan's turn, he did not step forward, but got up and made a big salute to Xie Yun, and said: "Teng Xuan was entrusted by His Royal Highness the King of Jin to come to Chang'an, and His Majesty appreciated it, and he was very grateful. ”
"Oh, which woman do you have a crush on and tell me about it? Can't the beauties I give her compare to? When Xie Yun heard this, he became interested, and the other ministers also looked at him curiously.
Teng Xuan's face was slightly ashamed, he looked at Xie Muyan and said, "She is the Yan Xi Ning Yan girl in the eldest princess's mansion!" ”
Xie Muyan was originally whispering to Ma Wen, and after listening to his words, she couldn't help but look at the man who had never looked at her since the beginning of the dinner, her brows were slightly furrowed, and there was no joy on her face, and she confirmed to Teng Qian: "Are you talking about Xi Ning?" ”
"Yes, I had a relationship with her in Xishi not long ago, and after that day, I will never forget her, please Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to become a minister." Teng Qian nodded.
"Yan Xining, this name is a little familiar." Xie Yun said silently.
"Father forgot, she was the one who saved Lingzhen's life." Xie Yunzhi reminded.
The ministers in the palace listened to Xie Yunzhi's words, and they all remembered this person, and were secretly a little surprised, although Yan Xining has a good ability, but after all, she is a civilian woman, an unmarried minister in the court, who doesn't want to marry a woman from a family with five surnames and seven nobles to glorify the lintel and open up a career, this Teng Xian is a four-grade official, and he is willing to marry a civilian woman as his wife, so it seems that I don't know how much I like that girl.
Xie Yun suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It's her, speaking of which, I haven't seen this girl yet?" But let you see it first. ”
"Miss Yan is very good, Weichen fell in love with her at first sight, and asked Your Majesty to fulfill it!" Teng Xuan kowtowed again.
"Hmm!" Xie Yun saw that he was so persistent, and was about to agree, Xie Muyan had already taken the first step to the hall and said to him: "Father, Miss Yan has been living in her daughter's house since she came to Chang'an, I have been with her for many days, and I know her a little, although Miss Yan is young, she is very assertive, and she is kind to us first, it is naturally a good thing that my father wants to have a good relationship for her, but if Miss Yan already has a sweetheart, then wouldn't my father's decision now be self-defeating?" Jun has no jokes, and his daughter thinks that it is not appropriate to rush the matter of marriage. Yan Xining is the person Xie Ronghua likes, and now that others are away, she can't let others take advantage of the situation and rob her brother's baby.
"What is the princess, Lord Teng is a talent, and the official residence is four grades, that Miss Yan is just a cloth dress, she can climb such a family affair, it is estimated that she will wake up with a smile, how can she be dissatisfied, even if she has a sweetheart, that sweetheart can be compared to Lord Teng." An official in the hall teased.
