"Eldest sister, don't be angry, Daddy, they are also for your good, three years ago, you didn't know, but I can see clearly, Daddy spent a whole year, he was depressed all day long, I know that after a year, he is only slightly better, and your mother, for you, almost didn't cry and broke my eyes, so they don't want you to be in danger again, the place in the palace is full of danger. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info" Qiao Yun poured Qiao Yinran a cup of tea and comforted her softly.
Qiao Yinran took Qiao Yun's tea and took a sip, she was so excited just now that she forgot to think about it, and it was indeed the case.
Qiao Yinran sighed, "Qiao Yun, I will figure out my own affairs, but you, you are not young, and your marriage should also be arranged." β
Qiao Yun's face changed slightly, she only had Mo Yannuo in her heart, but Mo Yannuo was destined to dislike her in her heart, a smile suddenly crossed the corner of Qiao Yun's mouth, "Eldest sister is right, I should also get married, I will go and tell my father tomorrow and let him find a good family for me." "Since you can't marry Mo Yannuo, it's the same to marry anyone, and I'm at home every day, and my father is worried about himself.
Qiao Yinran just said it casually, but she didn't expect Qiao Yun to take it seriously.
"Qiao Yun, I hope you can be happy, you have reached the age of marriage, but you can't be in a hurry, understand?" Qiao Yinran was worried that Qiao Yun would find someone to marry casually because she couldn't be with Mo Yannuo.
Qiao Yun chuckled, "Eldest sister, don't worry, I will never marry myself hastily, tomorrow, I will tell my father." β
"It's for the best." When Qiao Yun said this, Qiao Yinran was also slightly relieved, it is estimated that she and Mo Yannuo will have to wait for a while.
After dawn on the second day, Qiao Yun went to Qiao Ziqing and told him his decision.
Qiao Ziqing is happy, over the years, he has also been thinking about finding a good in-law for Qiao Yun, but Qiao Yun has always been lukewarm, and now she has taken the initiative to mention this matter herself, which is even better.
"It just so happens that you sisters are together, and it's best to marry two daughters at once." Qiao Ziqing was happy in his heart, the two daughters got married together, which couldn't be better.
Qiao Yun's brows furrowed slightly, as if she was hesitating about something.
Looking at Qiao Yun's hesitant appearance, Qiao Ziqing asked, "Yun'er, what's wrong?" Is there something you want to tell me? β
Qiao Yun nodded, "Yes, my daughter does have something she wants to tell her father." β
"What else do you want to tell me? Do you want to tell me the type of Ruyi Langjun you want to choose? Qiao Ziqing quipped.
Qiao Yun was very indifferent and shook her head, "What I want to tell my father is about the eldest sister, my father obviously knows that the eldest sister and the emperor are a match made in heaven, even if you are worried about the eldest sister, you shouldn't be like this." β
Qiao Ziqing sighed, "Yun'er, it's not that Daddy doesn't want your eldest sister to be happy, but you have to think about it, Daddy is old and really can't afford too much, I only hope that you and your eldest sister can marry an ordinary husband, and then live a peaceful life." β
Qiao Yun naturally understood Qiao Ziqing's thoughts, "But, Daddy, do you really want to beat the mandarin ducks after so many years of the eldest sister and the emperor?" β
Qiao Ziqing waved his hand, "Yun'er, I am free to arrange this matter, your marriage, you just need to wait for the arrangement." Qiao Ziqing was reluctant to say more.
Qiao Yun sighed, she wanted to persuade a few more words, but seeing that Qiao Ziqing didn't want to say more, she didn't want to continue to speak, she just hoped that Qiao Ziqing could figure it out and no longer stop Qiao Yinran and Mo Yannuo from being together.
Yin Lanyi and Qiao Ziqing really did what they said, and immediately began to arrange the marriage of Qiao Yinran and Qiao Yun, and the two agreed to use the most clichΓ© method to fight in the ring and compete in martial arts to recruit relatives.
After Qiao Yinran knew about this matter, she could only be in a hurry, no matter what she said, Qiao Ziqing and Yin Lanyi didn't mean to move, and what was even more excessive was that Qiao Ziqing directly asked people to look at her and didn't allow her to go out.
"Daddy, why do you have to do this?" Qiao Yinran looked at Qiao Ziqing who was reading a book on the side, and spoke patiently, no matter where he goes, Qiao Ziqing's people will follow, and he will follow in Qiao's house, and once he wants to go out, he will be stopped.
Qiao Ziqing raised his head, "Why should I be like this, you still don't know?" β
Qiao Yinran took a breath, "Daddy, I'm your daughter, you can't look at me like a prisoner." β
Qiao Ziqing put down the book in his hand, "When you get married, I will naturally not let people look at you anymore, the ring will be built tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and my father will choose a husband who is both civil and military for you." β
Qiao Yinran sighed again, "Daddy, you know that no matter what you do, I won't marry anyone else, why do you need to do this?" β
"I also said that the marriage is a major event, and the words of the matchmaker are the orders of the parents, if the emperor is really for your good, he will naturally know that he is not your beloved." Qiao Ziqing had no room for negotiation.
"I said, I don't marry anyone else, it's useless for you to do anything, recently the ring is going to be built, you can find a wishful husband for Qiao Yun." Qiao Yinran's tone was also firm, her mind had been decided, and no one could change it.
"I don't believe that you and my mother can still force me to marry!" Qiao Yinran continued.
Qiao Ziqing was choked by Qiao Yinran and had nothing to say.
"Ranran, don't you understand, my mother and I are for your good, do you still want to die for the emperor again?" Qiao Ziqing saw that the hard ones couldn't work, so he could only come to the soft ones.
Qiao Yinran sat down and faced Qiao Ziqing face to face, "Daddy, Da Zhou is now in the country and the people, and there are no other women in Mo Yannuo's harem, why is it dangerous?" Patiently explained to Qiao Ziqing.
"Although the people of Da Zhou are safe now, who knows what kind of danger there will be in the future, you must know, even if it is dangerous at eleven o'clock, I don't want you to be involved." Qiao Ziqing knew that the country was now safe, but he still did not approve of their marriage.
"The emperor has arrived, sir." At this time, someone came in to report.
Surprise flashed on Qiao Yinran's face, he didn't expect him to come so quickly.
Qiao Ziqing's brows furrowed, "I know, you go and tell the emperor first, I'll come quickly." Qiao Ziqing waved his hand and asked the person who reported to go out first.
Qiao Yinran wanted to follow, but was stopped by Qiao Ziqing, "Come on, let Miss go to her yard and have a good rest." β
"Daddy." Qiao Yinran didn't expect Qiao Ziqing to be so decisive.
"Give me back to the yard, or do you want me to have someone take you to rest by force?" Qiao Ziqing's tone was heavy.
Qiao Yinran pursed her mouth, didn't say anything more, and walked to her yard, she believed that Qiao Ziqing would definitely be able to do what she said.
Seeing Qiao Yinran obediently return to the room, Qiao Ziqing went to the hall.
"Master Qiao, when I came, I saw a ring set up in front of Qiao's house, what is the intention?" Mo Yannuo asked knowingly, he already knew about Qiao Ziqing's opposition to their marriage.
Qiao Ziqing replied respectfully, "As the emperor saw, the grass people built the ring in order to choose a marriage for the grass people's two daughters, the eldest daughter of the grass people is nineteen, and this daughter is also eighteen, and she has reached the age of marriage. Qiao Ziqing replied calmly, since it has been decided, then the emperor knows that it is only a matter of time.
Mo Yannuo's face changed, "Master Qiao, I remember that there is a marriage contract between me and your eldest daughter. β
"Your Majesty, the marriage contract between the eldest daughter of the grass people and you was three years ago, only until she was eighteen years old, since when she was eighteen years old, you and the grass people's daughter failed to get married, it means that you have no fate, since this is the case, then the eldest daughter of the grass people can marry freely."
Mo Yannuo sighed, got up, and knelt in front of Qiao Ziqing.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? This must not be! Qiao Ziqing didn't expect Mo Yannuo to do this suddenly, so he hurriedly stood up, wanting to help Mo Yannuo up.
Mo Yannuo didn't move for half a minute, "Master Qiao, I know, you are worried that what happened three years ago will happen again, but I hereby promise that I will never let Ran Ran go through what happened three years ago, and I also ask Lord Qiao to allow me and Ran Ran to get married!" Said Mo Yannuo's face was firm.
Qiao Ziqing looked at Mo Yannuo like this, he didn't feel a headache, and he was even more moved, he didn't expect that Mo Yannuo could do this for Qiao Yinran.
"Your Majesty, you get up first, if you do this, it will be difficult for the grass people to do it." Qiao Ziqing thought that Mo Yannuo would issue an order to force him to agree to Qiao Yinran and Mo Yannuo's marriage, but he didn't expect Mo Yannuo to do this.
"Master Qiao, I know that it was my fault and my negligence three years ago that caused Ran Ran to almost die in Huangquan, but I really only have Ran Ran alone in my heart, and I will definitely do my best to ensure that Ran Ran is safe and happy." Mo Yannuo was still kneeling, voting his mind.
Qiao Ziqing sighed, Mo Yannuo had the intention that he wouldn't get up if he didn't agree, but for the safety of his daughter, he still couldn't agree.
"Your Majesty, please don't embarrass the grass people, there are so many women in the world, naturally there is someone more suitable for you than Ranran, and Ranran is nineteen years old, so she is really not worthy of the emperor." Qiao Ziqing saw that he couldn't help Mo Yannuo, so he simply knelt on the ground, this is the emperor, he is the son of heaven, he can't accept such a big gift.
"Master Qiao, in the world, only Ranran can be worthy of me, and besides, it's not that Ranran is not worthy of me, it's that I am not worthy of Ranran." Mo Yannuo's attitude is also very resolute, he can't make his Ranran sad, these days, the secret guard doesn't count to send him news, for the marriage of the two of them, Qiao Yinran looks for Qiao Ziqing every day, and is even guarded by Qiao Ziqing, and can't even go out of the door.
Qiao Ziqing didn't know what to say for a while, "Since the emperor can't get up, the grass people can only kneel with the emperor." Qiao Ziqing also relented.
Mo Yannuo pursed his lips, Qiao Ziqing was consumed with himself, he had no choice now, and he could only do this, the two big men knelt in the hall face to face.
The key outside watched them kneel like this for two hours, and they were so anxious, "You go to find the Ninth Prince, I will go to the eldest lady, remember, it can only be the Ninth Prince, and you can't let the Ninth Princess know." After the housekeeper finished ordering, he hurried to find Qiao Yinran.
After the Nine Princes and Qiao Yinran received the news, they hurried to the hall, and the two of them rushed to the hall almost at the same time.
"Ranran, what do you think? Your father and your mother's worries, you should understand. The Ninth Prince was not in a hurry to enter, but motioned for Qiao Yinran to step aside.
The housekeeper saw that these two masters were not in a hurry, he could only do it in a hurry, he was looking for someone to help, but he didn't expect that these two people not only did not go in to help, but chatted outside.
"I know." Qiao Yinran nodded, "I naturally know the worries of my father and mother, but, I think, the ninth prince knows better than me what it is like for people who love each other not to stay together, I believe that the prince is the same as me, even if he knows the danger ahead, he is still willing to give it a try, not to mention, the current situation, there is not much danger." β
The Ninth Prince agrees with Qiao Yinran's opinion, when he was with Yin Lanyi, he was in great danger, but he still worked hard, and after more than ten years of separation, he was already heartbroken, even if he lost his life, he had to fight for it once.
"Then Ranran, you have to find a way to get your father and your mother to agree, your father and your mother have a tough temper, it is difficult to convince them, Arnold has been kneeling in it for so long, and it has no effect, you really have to think about it." The Nine Princes smiled knowingly.
When Qiao Yinran saw the Nine Princes like this, she knew that he was on their side.
"Let's go in, Arnold, I'm not worried, but your father's old bones don't know martial arts, and I'm a little worried that his body can't bear it." The Nine Princes joked and took Qiao Yinran inside.
"Daddy, you get up first." Qiao Yinran walked to the two of them, helped Qiao Ziqing, and was about to let him get up.
Qiao Ziqing didn't move, "The emperor can't afford it, how can I get up?" β
"You get up." Qiao Yinran glanced at Mo Yannuo, really, her father is so old, and Mo Yannuo is still messing around with her father.
Mo Yannuo glanced at Qiao Yinran and didn't speak.
"Ranran, don't be rude to the emperor." Qiao Ziqing scolded Qiao Yinran softly.
The Nine Princes didn't speak, just watched from the side, in this world, one thing descends one thing, he has always believed it, and the person who can subdue his nephew is Qiao Yinran.
Qiao Yinran didn't pay attention to Qiao Ziqing's words, but looked at Qiao Ziqing, "Mo Yannuo, you stand up, my father's body can't bear to kneel for so long, you get up first, what is there to talk about." She wasn't too tough and saved face for Mo Yannuo, but her eyes were a little cold.
Seeing Qiao Yinran like this, Mo Yannuo understood, Qiao Yinran was angry, and then stood up.
Qiao Yinran breathed a sigh of relief, "Daddy, come, you get up." Qiao Yinran helped Qiao Ziqing and asked him to stand up.
Qiao Ziqing stood up with Qiao Yinran's strength, and because he knelt for too long, he was a little unsteady when he stood up.
