"Talk to him?" Bai Sujin subconsciously frowned and asked.
Xia Chuming asked, "Otherwise, do you have a better way?" Did you really rush directly to the palace to kill the emperor, or force the emperor to change his holy decree? ”
Bai Sujin said angrily: "Can you talk to the six princes about a reason?" Even if we convince him to cancel this family business, the emperor will have to order it, and then the matter will leak out, and my daughter's reputation will be over. ”
Xia Chuming rubbed his forehead and said, "I know, I know, so I won't let such a thing happen, don't you worry, okay?" ”
"Don't worry, can I not worry?" Bai Sujin couldn't hold back the flame in his heart and shouted at Xia Chuming.
Xia Chuming hugged Bai Sujin strongly and gently comforted, "Shhh, calm down, calm down, listen to me!" ”
Bai Sujin took a few deep breaths, hugged Xia Chuming's waist more tightly with his backhand and said: "If there is no perfect way, I will give the formula of the weapon to the emperor, I can't gamble on the happiness of Momo's life, not to mention whether Momo and the six princes have a relationship, just because he is healthy and weak and can't live long, I won't agree, how can I watch my Momo be widowed at a young age." ”
"If you believe me, I won't, okay?" Xia Chuming whispered softly in Bai Sujin's ear.
Bai Sujin took a step back, looked at Xia Chuming sternly and said, "I'm serious, if there is no perfect plan, just do what I do, we shouldn't gamble on Momo's marriage." ”
"I understand, but it's not that far, you understand?" Xia Chuming persuaded Bai Sujin in a low voice.
While the couple were talking, the sixth prince came.
Xia Chuming said to the maid who was passing the word at the door: "Please ask the six princes to go to the study to sit in the meeting first, and I will come immediately." ”
"Yes!" The maid at the door answered and retreated.
Xia Chuming hugged Bai Sujin's head, covered her cheeks with both hands, and said softly: "I'll come when I go, I can solve this matter, you believe me, I can protect your mother and daughter." ”
"Hmm!" Bai Sujin replied, and replied heavily, "I believe in you." ”
Xia Chuming kissed Bai Sujin heavily on the forehead and said, "I'll go back when I go, you wait for my news." ”
"Good!" Bai Sujin took Xia Chuming's hand and sent him to the door until he walked out of the house.
Her face changed immediately, and she ordered Mama Lin.
"Take out that little red brocade box for me and send it to the second master."
When Xia Chuming arrived in the study, the sixth prince had already arrived, holding a teacup in one hand and was about to drink tea, when he saw him coming, he got up respectfully and called the second master.
"The Sixth Prince, please be seated."
The sixth prince smiled lightly and said, "The second master suddenly called me, what is the so-called?" ”
Xia Chuming asked bluntly: "You should have known about the matter of the Holy Decree in advance, right?" ”
The sixth prince asked rhetorically: "Does it mean my marriage with the fourth lady?" ”
Xia Chuming snorted and looked at the six princes with sharp eyes.
The sixth prince asked inexplicably: "Yes! Is there anything wrong with this? Or don't you want her to marry so early? ”
Xia Chuming saw the expression of the sixth prince on his face, frowned and sneered, "The emperor really didn't sue you. ”
"Sue me for what?" The smile on the face of the sixth prince gradually retracted, and it could be seen that Xia Chuming was not satisfied with this family business.
"Your marriage with Momo is just an expedient measure, the marriage contract was made back then, all to let the imperial concubine rest in peace, the emperor knew about it, and agreed to take the initiative to dissolve this family affair when Momo was fifteen years old." Xia Chuming couldn't hide his dissatisfaction in his heart, and when he said it, he gritted his teeth a little.
This was the first time the sixth prince had heard about this, and he smiled a little stiffly and asked, "Are you joking?" The marriage given by the father and the emperor can still be fun? ”
"The marriage contract was all made by the imperial concubine, that is, your mother's concubine, on the occasion of her death, the emperor knew this, and also promised us that we would dissolve the marriage contract afterwards, and wrote us a personal letter, which can also be said to be a letter to dissolve the marriage contract." Xia Chuming clearly explained the events of the year word by word.
The sixth prince subconsciously asked: "What about the letter?" ”
Xia Chuming said: "In the hands of my wife, you wait, I'll get it." ”
As soon as the words fell, a maid spoke at the door.
"Second master, the second lady sent a brocade box to you."
Xia Chuming walked to the door, took the brocade box, waved it with his hand, and motioned for the little maid to retreat farther away, then closed the door and turned back to the house, opened the brocade box in front of the six princes, and took out the letter in it.
"You should recognize the emperor's handwriting, right? But it doesn't matter, I don't know the handwriting, I always know the imprint of the jade seal! Xia Chuming opened the letter and gave it directly to the sixth prince.
The sixth prince took a look and was dumbfounded on the spot, unable to believe that the prince's marriage could be such a child's play.
When faced with this letter, the first reaction of the six princes was that it should be a forgery, and they subconsciously wanted to find out the traces of forgery but couldn't find it.
"What are you trying to show?" The six princes silently read the letter and identified the authenticity before asking this sentence.
Xia Chuming frankly admitted, "The Sixth Prince, you are very good and excellent, but I, Xia Chuming, am such a daughter, so it is absolutely impossible for me to let her marry into the royal family." ”
The sixth prince sent the letter to Xia Chuming and said, "Do you want to quit your family? I'm afraid I can't be the master of this matter, if you want to withdraw from your family, go directly to your father. ”
Xia Chuming sneered, "Retreat, your relatives are not there at all, but if you coax the imperial concubine for a while, there is no marriage, where is there a retreat." ”
The sixth prince asked with a wry smile, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Xia Chuming put the letter away, and then said: "I will explain this matter clearly to the emperor, and I hope that when the time comes, you can show the emperor that you are not willing to marry Momo." ”
The sixth prince lowered his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, "Actually, I don't have any aversion to the matter of Nasi being the princess, in fact, I always thought that I would marry her and try to get to know her." ”
The sixth prince's face suddenly changed and asked, "Did the fourth young lady already know about this matter?" ”
Xia Chuming said frankly: "Yes, she has long known that your marriage contract with her is not real, it is just a scene for the imperial concubine." ”
The sixth prince smiled with relief and said, "No wonder! ”
Every time he took the initiative to signal to Yimo, Yimo turned a blind eye, but was extremely evasive from him, and now he finally knows the reason.
"I won't let you do me in vain, I'll do my best to cure you!" Xia Chuming threw out the bait.
The sixth prince rubbed his left wrist with his right hand and asked, "Try your best to cure my illness?" ”
Xia Chuming said with a sharp look in his eyes: "Don't visit to be frank, I once secretly investigated the cases of the Tai Hospital in private, and I also learned about the situation of the six princes, although I am not very sure, but there are also four or five points, compared to the Tai Doctor who has treated you for many years and has not improved, it is much stronger." ”
"Four or five percent sure?" The sixth prince smiled low and said, "This is a very tempting condition. ”
Xia Chuming said bluntly: "This is not a loss for you, after all, you don't like Momo." ”
The sixth prince raised his eyebrows and retorted meaninglessly, "Who said that?" ”
Xia Chuming didn't want to go around in circles with the six princes anymore, so he asked bluntly: "I only ask you, do you agree?" ”
The sixth prince lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment and said, "This sounds like a good deal, but who knows if you will do your best in the end." ”
Xia Chuming's face darkened most of the time and said, "Will I be such a person?" ”
The sixth prince smiled lowly, and suddenly relented: "As long as the second master can say that the emperor is shaken, I will naturally speak according to your heart." ”
Xia Chuming's expression instantly became much clearer, and he said, "Thank you, I'll check your pulse now." ”
The sixth prince shook his head with a smile and said, "No, let's wait until this thing is done!" I've never liked to owe anyone. ”
Xia Chuming looked at the six princes with a fixed expression and said, "We are a deal." ”
The sixth prince laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "Although my Xia Hao is not in good health, I will not force a woman who is not willing to marry me as a concubine, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet, I don't want to get married, and the backyard will not be peaceful every day." ”
The corners of Xia Chuming's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a while.
The sixth prince got up and asked, "If the second master has nothing else to order, I will leave first." ”
Xia Chuming looked at the six princes with a strange expression and said, "Thank you." ”
"Not necessarily!" The sixth prince said lightly, walked to the door, looked back and reminded, "Although my father is getting older and older, his memory will not degenerate so quickly, he must remember what you said, since this is the case, he also made this holy decree, it is conceivable that this is his father's decision." ”
Xia Chuming said confidently: "I have a way to make the emperor change his mind." ”
"It's better to do so, I'll see." The sixth prince said that, and walked out of the study.
Xia Chuming stood in the study for a while before going to Bai Sujin's house and telling the conversation between the two.
Bai Sujin frowned and said: "Actually, we don't need to find the sixth prince first, after all, if we find him, we still have to solve this matter face-to-face with the emperor." ”
Xia Chuming handed over the brocade box to Bai Sujin to continue to keep it, and said, "This is different! ”
"It's been a while since we returned to Beijing, and we can see each other very clearly, the emperor's love for the six princes is emanating from the bottom of his heart, whether he is because the imperial concubine loves the house and Wu or what, anyway, the six princes are now his favorite princes."
"The marriage of the six princes, I believe that the emperor must have asked him what he meant before making a decree, a father who really loves his children will not make his own decisions without a little discussion on such a major matter."
"I reached a consensus with the six princes first because we persuaded the emperor that when he was shaken, he would definitely ask the meaning of the six princes, and his meaning at this time was very important."
Bai Sujin said clearly: "I understand what you mean, when are you going to talk to the emperor about this matter." ”
"Tomorrow, tomorrow morning, I will meet the emperor in person and solve the matter in person." Xia Chuming was in a hurry to deal with this matter, and he didn't want to delay it for a day.
If it weren't for the late hours at this time, it was no longer suitable for him to enter the palace, he couldn't wait to rush to the palace directly to settle the marriage, and by the way, he raised the emperor's ear and asked him what he meant.
"Hmmm! I will accompany you into the palace. Bai Sujin replied.
Xia Chuming said: "No, I can solve this kind of small matter by myself, and when we encounter any big problems in the future and I can't solve them, you will come forward." ”
Bai Sujin looked at Xia Chuming with slanted eyes and didn't speak.
Xia Chuming said with a smile: "Really, you are the most powerful in our family, this kind of thing, I can solve it alone, and it is a bit overkill for you to come forward." ”
"Okay!" Bai Sujin hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Xia Chuming's confident appearance, he agreed.
In the evening, just after dinner, Lixiu sneaked into Yimo's boudoir.
And she was in Bai Sujin's house at this time, just after dinner, the mother and daughter talked for a while, and then walked in the courtyard for a while, and then she slowly returned to Tinglan Pavilion.
As soon as he arrived at Tinglan Pavilion, Luo Xia greeted him, and asked with a look in his eyes, "Miss is tired, right?" ”
Yi Mo hurriedly said, "Yes! I'll go back to the house and lie down, and when I'm up later, you'll fetch water to freshen me up." ”
"Yes!" Luo Xia respectfully responded and escorted the person to the door, but he didn't follow.
As soon as she arrived in the house, Yimo saw the retreat sitting in her chair.
A little surprised, he strode up and asked, "Brother, why did you come so early today?" ”
Lixiu raised his eyebrows: "Can you not come earlier?" If it's too late, my wife will become someone else's family. ”
Yimo smiled and slapped Lixiu's chest, and asked slightly sweetly, "You also heard about this!" ”
Lishu asked rhetorically, "Is there anyone in the whole of Kyoto who hasn't heard of this?" ”
Yimo pursed his lips and said slowly: "This matter will be solved by my father, and my father called the six princes over in the afternoon, and the two talked for a long time in the study, listening to my father's meaning, he and the six princes have reached a consensus." ”
"Consensus? What consensus? "Lixiu subconsciously asked.
Yi Mo glanced at Lixiu, pouted and said, "What consensus can there be!" It is the consensus that the six princes will not marry me. ”
