Chapter 232: How to remedy
"What, me and Princess Ruoxuan?" Qi Yu stood up from his seat in shock, stunned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the General's Mansion, a group of people gathered in the main hall, Qi Zhao sat in front without saying a word, and the few in the lotus garden sat on both sides, and it was the people sent by the palace who informed them of this.
If Princess Ruoxuan's relationship with the General's Mansion was decided four years ago, at that time, Qi Zhao thought that the king was just casually talking at the banquet, not to mention that he had not mentioned a few words in the past two years, and the wine talk was immediately forgotten, who would have expected that it would be reintroduced now?
It's so abrupt and unexpected.
Qi Zhao's silence is not because he disagrees with this marriage, Princess Ruoxuan is a daughter, and the king gives his beloved daughter to Yu'er, which is really a blessing for the mansion and a blessing that has been cultivated for hundreds of years. Moreover, Princess Dou is well-informed and reasonable, and she has been quiet in the palace for many years, not causing dust, and she has no worries.
But Yu'er, his mind is not here at first glance. He has only this only son, from childhood to adulthood, he and Qi Yu's mother have never forced him to do anything, everything depends on his opinion, and Qi Yu has never let his second elder worry about it.
Now, his wife has been dead for many years, and Yu'er is said to have reached the age of marriage. But fate is not arranged by people, but destined by God, not hard-founded, but patiently waited...... I am afraid that most parents in the world will not tolerate such "fallacies", but he just admits this dead reason.
"Yes, the king said, on the eighteenth day of this month, that is, the day when the Hou Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion got married, together with the relatives of the young general and Princess Ruoxuan, it will be a double happiness." The father-in-law from the palace said, his voice was soft and long, slow and methodical, with a smile on his face.
Qi Yu was still stunned, his whole face turned white, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
In the corner not far away, Tang Guxi's body stiffened, looking at this scene with fear, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the person next to him.
Lin Luo's face was unshocked, expressionless, looking ahead lightly, and at the end of his sight was Qi Yu, who was not possessed by his soul and was standing dazed.
"General, major general, congratulations." The two fathers-in-law still smiled and said happily, "However, the king only instructed our family to inform the general so that the general and the major general could be prepared, and did not issue an edict. ā
Hearing this, Qi Zhao straightened his expression, got up from his seat hurriedly, and bowed to his father-in-law, "Thank you two fathers-in-law, and I hope that my father-in-law can bring a message to the king. ā
This matter came in a hurry, and the king knew that the general must be lacking in mental strength, so he ordered the Ministry of Rites to do all his best. Time is hurried and coincidental, and once the marriage has arrived, everything will go according to God's will. The father-in-law smiled kindly, and when he saw everyone's reactions, he also had a bottom in his heart, so he changed his tone slightly.
Listening to the relief in his father-in-law's words, Qi Zhao was quite emotional, nodded with his eyebrows and nodded: "The king is thoughtful, everything depends on the king's wishes." ā
The father-in-law nodded, and after saluting, he walked out the door.
Qi Yu didn't come back to his senses, he looked straight at the floor, he didn't hear the words clearly, and he didn't notice that his father-in-law had already retired, but he just sat down weakly, like a bucket of ice water poured down from his head, drenching him all over.
Qi Zhao glanced back at him, and was about to speak, but heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
As soon as the two fathers-in-law walked to the door, they met a person who came over, raised his eyes, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Royal Highness." ā
Su Chen glanced at the two of them, didn't speak, and walked straight into the house.
Glancing at the people in the room, Qi Yu sat on the chair dejectedly, Lin Xun moved behind him, the general stood on one side, and in the far corner, Tang Guxi and Lin Luo stood silently, and the dim light hid the two of them.
"I was about to tell you, it seems that there is no need to say it again......" Su Chen lowered his head and said.
"The king's marriage is also the fulfillment of the promise made four years ago." Qi Zhao said earnestly, "You have no jokes, you have no jokes...... This is a blessing and a good thing...... Yu'er, the king's major events in your life are the king's decisions, you must pay attention to it, and you must be grateful, and you must not be a child's play. ā
Qi Yu's face was dazed, and after hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, calmed his mind, and looked up at his father, but he didn't know what to say.
Qi Zhao retracted his gaze, sighed heavily, and turned around and walked out the door.
In the house, only these young people were left for a while.
Su Chen sighed, walked to the side and sat down, and said, "When I came over just now, Ruoxuan was arguing with her father, crying and shouting, and my father locked her up in anger. Qi Yu, I really wonder, since the two of you are reluctantly agreeing, why did your father give you a marriage in the first place? Since marriage has been given, why haven't any of you mentioned it? I didn't know it for four years...... Besides, if no one mentions it, why do you suddenly talk about it today? And even if the auspicious date for marriage is set...... I didn't even have a chance to say a word for you......"
"What can you say?" Qi Yu smiled bitterly, "At the beginning, everyone thought that the king was just drunk and talking, and he didn't take it seriously. ā
"Not seriously?" Su Chen's eyes widened, and he looked at Qi Yu incredulously, "He is the king of the Ninety-Five, according to his father's temperament, how can he not take it seriously?" Besides, Ruoxuan is still the one he loves the most, even if no one brings it up today, when Ruoxuan should get married, he will naturally think about it, and you can't escape it......"
"Su Chen, you're not here to make fun of me, are you?" Qi Yu swept his eyes coldly and squinted at him.
Su Chen sneered, "Even if I make fun of you, I can't help but think about my sister, right?" She's working a lot harder than you are right now. ā
Neither of them spoke, and the room fell silent, with the sound of needles falling and the air frozen.
"What about now...... Is there really no way? Lin Xun muttered on the side, not daring to accept the fact that Brother Qi was about to get married.
"Actually......" Qi Yu seemed to have a hard time speaking, "The king was thinking about Ruoxuan's love at the beginning, so he gave the ...... of marriage"
Lin Xun raised his eyes and was stunned.
Thinking about Ruoxuan's love? What do you mean?
Su Chen frowned, and suddenly realized: "I understand, in the past, Ruoxuan always followed us to practice swords and ride horses together, and my father felt that the two of you were in love, plus Ruoxuan was ......" He turned his head to look at Qi Yu, "Ruoxuan was interested in you at that time, right?" ā
Qi Yu sighed lightly, his eyes crossed the corner of the room intentionally or unintentionally, and his voice was slightly shy: "At that time, she has grown up now, isn't she still crying with your father at the moment, how can the two of us have a relationship......
Looking at his helpless expression, Su Chen fully understood in his heart.
If you talk about being forced to marry by your parents, no one can empathize more with it than Tang Guxi, thinking of herself a year ago, she was also like this, she was confined in the room by her father and couldn't go out, and finally had to compromise and marry someone she didn't like......
But at that time, she was the only one who suffered, but now it is Qi Yu and the princess who are suffering......
Is there anything else that can be remedied?
