Chapter Twenty-Four: Who Belongs to the Red Face?
A slender figure stepped out of the crowd. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
He was dressed in a pale brocade robe, with a beautiful jade waist, thick eyebrows and jade face, and his bright eyes glanced at Wei Yan, signaling with his eyes that she did not need to panic, and then bent his knees: "Your Majesty, Wei Yan is Yuqin's wife who has not passed through the door!" Because of Yuqin's humble status, he didn't dare to bother the emperor with this trivial matter, so his grandfather and father and brother did not report it. β
With that, he looked at his grandfather, Yasukuni.
The old man over seventy was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Exactly." Your Majesty, when Miss Lu Er spoke, the old minister felt that it was inappropriate, the old minister's granddaughter-in-law who had not passed the door asked so many people to stare at her, how much did she suffer? However, the old minister and his father-in-law did not dare to sweep the emperor's interest, and they had to endure the loss! β
King Yong's face sank like water, holding a wine cup in his hand, pursed his lips, and said coldly: "Jingguo Gong, don't talk about ......"
Yasukuni Gong didn't pay attention to it, and only shouted at Wei Yan: "You girl, you're almost past the door, and your body is not good, don't hide in the house and embroider, you have nothing to play the piano and make any music!" Today, the emperor is happy, whoever performs a show will be rewarded, even if you are about to get married, you can tell the emperor that is, what are you doing so trembling? β
He said that Wei Yan's refusal was because she was timid and didn't dare to accept it. He also pointed out that she was indeed his granddaughter-in-law who had not passed through the door. At the same time, it also saved face for the emperor.
At that moment, some people couldn't help but whisper about it.
The Yasukuni Mansion is a noble one. The eldest son of the Yasukuni Duke was vacant in the position of the prince of Yasukuni, but he was too weak and sick to participate in politics. The second son was named the Marquis of Jingyang, and he only held an idle position, with a noble status but no real power, and was a neutral force in the court. Now that the son of the former empress, King Yong, the son of the fourth prince, and the son of Empress Chen, the son of the sixth prince, King Shu, have the possibility of succeeding to the throne, and the Yasukuni Mansion does not stand on either side, so it is also the object of both sides' efforts. Now that the Yasukuni Mansion has married Wei Dongkang, who is on the side of King Yong, does that mean that their position has changed?
Wei Yan's eyes lit up, and when she was extremely disappointed, he was willing to stand up for her!
How much courage and determination does it take to make a decision that will affect not only your life, but also the honor and disgrace of the entire family in an instant?
Wei Dongkang's mind was full of thoughts. This daughter, whose face is too prosperous, has been hiding in the deep boudoir, just afraid of today's situation. On King Yong's side, there is no hope. King Yong must not marry a woman who was once favored by his father!
The second grandson of the Yasukuni Mansion, not the son of the world, with the courage and responsibility of a momentary hothead, what glory can he bring to himself and the Wei family?
But no matter how unwilling he was, he could only accept his fate.
He kowtowed and said: "What the old lady of the in-laws said is extremely true, the little girl is stupid and stupid, she offended Long Yan, please ask the emperor to condemn her!" β
Yuwen Jin clenched his hands into fists and was silent. Wei Dongkang knelt on the ground, the tip of his nose and forehead were already sweating.
After a long time, Yuwen Jinfang raised his hand and said, "That's it!" β
instructed the palace people: "Wei's daughter, extraordinary skills, ten horses of smoke and haze, ten Dongzhu Hu." The second grandson of Yasukuni Gong, with outstanding literary talents, a set of four treasures in the study, and a pair of ivory bows and crossbows. β
The crowd was still talking in a low voice, and the queen helped the emperor up and said, "Get up!" β
All the courtiers stood up and knelt down.
After the emperor and queen went, the courtiers surrounded Wei Dongkang and Yasukuni and asked questions non-stop.
Wei Yan avoided the crowd and walked on the alleyway. When I looked back, I saw her fiancΓ© Xu Yuqin, who she had just "chosen", standing behind her with a smile. There was also a group of young men who were looking at the two, and when they saw Wei Yan looking back, there was a burst of exclamation in the crowd.
Wei Yan became famous as a song. In a royal performance, she not only won the name of "Kyoto's No. 1 Beauty", won the admiration of countless princes and grandchildren, but also found a husband for herself!
Outside the palace gate, Ruyue greeted her: "Miss, are you out?" Miss Lu Er is behind you, do you want to say hello? β
"Not necessarily." Wei Yan didn't look back at Lu Fangfei, and stepped out of the palace gate alone.
She came in a palace chariot, and at the moment she could only stand by the door, waiting for her father's carriage to come out and take her.
There was a rush of horses' hooves. A person with a golden crown and a dark robe, angry, leaned over the horse, stretched out his long arms, and Wei Yan, who had no time to dodge in the future, was thrown on the horse in front of him.
Wei Yan was shocked and shouted: "Lord Wang! What do you do? β
Yuwen Rui rode his horse and galloped without stopping. Wei Yan lay on the horse's back, the wind was whistling in his ears, the hairpin was thrown off, and the long hair was scattered, flying in the wind......
The road was crazy and bumpy, Wei Yan couldn't stop retching, and his tears were choked out by the wind and sand.
When the horse stopped, he had come to a barren hill, Wei Yan was caught in his arm by Yu Wenrui, and shouted again and again: "Let me down, let me down!" β
Yu Wenrui walked into a dilapidated grass hut in a few steps, threw her to the ground, and before she could get up, he lowered down, grabbed her clothes, stared at her eyes, and shouted angrily: "Why are you going? Why go? You just think so, the woman who is the emperor? Well? This king will give you the position of the future crown prince Liangdi, you are not satisfied, you have to serve this king's dying father and be his favorite concubine? β
Wei Yan was shaken by him and dizzy, and prayed: "It's not that the courtiers are willing, the holy decree summons, who can choose?" The matter has come to this, why should the prince say more? When the courtiers were allowed to marry, the prince was cowardly and did not dare to accept it! β
"Cowardice? You say this king is cowardly? Yu Wenrui let go of his hand and took a step back, he couldn't accept the comment Wei Yan gave him.
"Lord Wang! Wei Yan Pu Liu's posture is not a virtuous person, why should the prince be obsessed? Wei Yan patted the dust on his body and stood up. If the prince really believes that Wei Yan must be in this life, in order to reward the prince for his true feelings, then please ask the prince to play and invite the emperor, Wei Yan is willing to wait! β
His eyes roamed over her face, and his brain spun rapidly, wondering if this was possible.
Listen to her and say: "Or, please turn back and look at the foundation you have worked hard to build over the years, the courtiers who swore to follow you to the death, the soldiers and horses who shed their blood for you, and the throne that is close at hand...... Can you give it up? If you can, Wei Yan will go with you immediately! The mountains and rivers are vast, wandering the world with you! β
Wei Yan looked at his eyes: "Lord Wang, please tell Wei Yan that at this moment, should we leave or stay?" β
"This king ......" Yu Wenrui was dumbfounded.
If the great cause is not accomplished, it is natural that the achievements cannot be abandoned. And this woman, do you have to let go like this?
Wei Yan didn't give him much chance to think about it, she raised her skirt and bowed: "His Royal Highness King Yong, the courtiers wish you a wish as soon as possible and a healthy life." β
He grabbed her arm and stared at her, for a moment, but he didn't dare to look into her clear eyes. Do you just let go of her hand and let her go?
His eyebrows were tightly locked. The feeling of heartache that I hadn't felt for a long time spread......
Do you want to get both the beauties of the country and the mountains, so you have to wait for the day when he wins the throne?
At that time, he will hold the four seas of Kyushu, will no one be able to force him to let go and let the woman he loves marry someone else......
Wei Yan saw him bow her head and be silent, and took advantage of the situation to leave, her hair rose high in the wind, and her wide robe fluttered back and forth, like a light cloud, floating invisibly in the sky.
In fact, one of her shoes fell off on the road, her clothes were full of wrinkles, and her face was full of dust, which was really embarrassing.
Yu Wenrui grabbed her hand from behind and said, "Yan Niang...... Don't go, this king won't let you go! β
He pulled her into his arms and locked her tightly to his chest. He lowered his head and rested his chin on her shoulder, as if trying to drain all her tenderness.
At this time, the hooves in front of him were kicking, and a man rode his horse and shouted from afar: "Please let go of Weichen's wife with self-esteem and let go of His Royal Highness King Yong." β
As soon as he heard this "Weichen's wife", Yu Wenrui immediately became angry. It's all this damn nerd, and he's losing his beauty!
Yu Wenrui let go of the man in his arms, jumped head-on, and lifted Xu Yuqin under the horse with one punch.
Wei Yan exclaimed in surprise and begged: "Lord Wang, don't!" β
Xu Yuqin was knocked to the ground, and before he had time to get up, King Yong's second punch had already struck!
Wei Yan ran to the two of them, knelt on the ground, and hugged Yu Wenrui's legs: "Lord Wang, don't!" Please, courtiers, lord! β
Yu Wenrui's eyes were red, and he stared at her anxious face: "Yan Niang, why have you ever been so anxious in front of this king?" Thou shalt tell the king whether thou hast had an affair with him? Therefore you resist in every possible way, and do not want to return to this king? β
Wei Yan raised his voice: "The courtiers and Xu Gongzi are innocent, how can they be as unbearable as the prince said?" The courtiers are grateful for the kindness of Xu Gongzi, how can they watch him suffer and be indifferent? β
Yu Wenrui sneered: "What about you and this king? This king goes in and out of your boudoir as if it were in your own backyard......"
"Lord Wang, be cautious!" Wei Yan's face turned pale, and he didn't expect that King Yong, who had always been serious, would become so naΓ―ve because of the momentary anger. "The father of the courtiers belongs to the prince, but now, is it impossible? Why should the prince hurt others and himself, and be obsessed? β
Yu Wenrui laughed: "Obsessed? Have you forgotten all the past? You have long been committed to this king, and you still want to marry someone else? Xu Er, your future wife, is nothing but this king......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a snap and slapped his face.
Wei Yan's hands trembled, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak: "You...... You ......"
If King Yong insists that he has an old relationship with himself, who will believe in his innocence? Who else can you marry?
"Lord Wang, you don't have to provoke. Yuqin won't believe it. β
Xu Yuqin got up from the ground and took a few steps forward, blocking Wei Yan behind him.
His back straightened, staring at King Yong, with no fear in his eyes.
"Weichen's wife, Wei's, is the most upright and cautious, she has a lonely character, clean and self-conscious, and she is definitely not such an unchaste woman in the mouth of the prince."
King Yong sneered again and again: "If you don't believe it, let's see in the future!" β
He clapped his hands, and the horse galloped over, he approached Wei Yan, and read hoarsely: "Yan Niang, wait, one day, this king will send Qingluan Fengche to pick you up in person!" β
One person rides, and the dust is gone.
Wei Yan burst into tears and covered his face to prevent Xu Yuqin from seeing it. She is so unbearable, how can she be worthy of the words of the chastity in his mouth? If she hadn't been brought to the palace today, I am afraid that in the future, she would really become the person who served the pillow in King Yong's mansion as King Yong said.
And Xu Yuqin didn't say anything, he looked Wei Yan up and down, and when he saw that she was not injured, he was relieved. Untied his robe, draped it on her, and said softly, "It's okay, I'll accompany you." Don't be afraid. β
Wei Yan sobbed, not daring to raise his eyes to look at him.
He is so good, so gentle, it makes her feel that she has climbed him!
The two were silent, Wei Yanshen walked in front with one shallow foot, she almost didn't look at the road, only lowered her head, and walked quickly.
Xu Yuqin led the horse and followed quietly.
He was punched several times by King Yong, and his chest and abdomen were still very painful. But he just couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He rubbed his chest and felt his heart pounding.
On the day of the first meeting, in the princess's mansion, she sat on the side of Princess Yong, so that he fell in love at first sight. He looked at her secretly several times, and there had never been a woman who had made him so out of shape.
Over the years, I have been obsessed with poetry and books, how have I ever been confused by beauty? But today, he is like a reckless boy who is cowardly, ignoring the thunderous anger of the Son of Heaven, and relieving her of the siege, treating her as an unmarried wife.
If the consequences of the day can really marry Qin and Jin, and be harmonious, such a stunning beauty, she softly calls him "husband" in her mouth......
Thinking of this, he suddenly blushed.
What was he thinking?
He looked at her in chagrin, hoping that his embarrassment would not be seen by her. When I raised my eyes, I saw her walking quickly and wiping away her tears, and I couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in my heart.
Does she care about King Yong? King Yong failed her, does she still have to cry for him?
He reached forward to grab her, struggled several times, and finally put his hand down in despair......
