912 Hou Ye forced marriage
cpa300_4(); When the news of Xia Lili's reappearance in the capital reached Qiu Guhan's ears, Qiu Guhan just let out an "oh" and didn't react again.
For him, Xia Lili was just some familiar acquaintances, and it had nothing to do with him.
The men up and down the palace were excited.
Xia Li Liye, it is said that she is more beautiful than Ji Lian, who is known as "the first beauty in the capital", and they all want to see it everywhere they go!
Most of them were only elected to the palace in the past two years, Xia Lili disappeared for two whole years, they haven't had a chance to see the legendary beauty, and this beauty is still inextricably linked with the prince, so it's no wonder that they are not interested!
However, the prince is not interested, what is the use of them being interested?
"Lord Wang, Miss Xia is your cousin, I heard that there is a marriage contract with you, don't you go and take a look?" Someone cautiously reminded the prince.
"You're going to clean the latrines this month." This is the prince's reply.
The guard's face collapsed, and he almost stopped crying, just asking, is it necessary to be so ruthless?
In the sympathetic eyes of everyone, the prince said coldly: "I only correct this time, Xia Lili is my cousin, but her family has already dissolved the marriage contract with me, and I have no other relationship with her." If there are any more rumors and troublemakers, they will be expelled from the palace. ”
No one dared to say anything.
Only the foggy boy tilted his head and nodded on Qiu Guhan's shoulder, with a puzzled expression, and anyone could see that he was asking "what's going on".
Qiu Guhan glared at him viciously: "It's none of your business, don't be nosy." ”
The corners of Wu Gongzi's mouth collapsed slightly, and he looked aggrieved: Why are you so fierce to him?
Qiu Guhan pointed impatiently: "Go out, you all go out for me, and you are not allowed to come in without the king's order." ”
So, a group of men who came to tell him that "the world's first beauty, Xia Lili, has appeared", had to go out obediently.
Qiu Guhan finally calmed down, and just as he was about to deal with some Wen Jiàn, someone knocked on the door: "Lord Wang, Xia ......"
Syllable!
He slapped the table and said angrily: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to mention Xia Lili again!" Besides, they will be expelled from the house! ”
The woman who fell in love is really irrational and reasonable, and he really doesn't want to have anything to do with this kind of woman.
"It's not Miss Xia's business." "It was Lord Xia who invited the prince to come over, saying that there was something important to discuss with the prince." ”
Lord Xia is Xia Wusheng.
Xia Wusheng is looking for him, usually there are things that need to be discussed, which is considered a serious matter.
Only then did Qiu Guhan say: "Prepare the horse." ”
Then he rode to Xia Wusheng's mansion.
Then he met Xia Wusheng and Xia Muze there.
As soon as he saw Xia Muze, he felt that the matter was about to be related to Xia Lili, and his head began to ache faintly.
Sure enough, before chatting a few words, Xia Muze got straight to the point and said to him: "Lord Wang, the Xia clan has decided to fully support the prince, but some people in the clan think that they can't rest assured just by verbal agreement, and they still hope that the prince can marry a woman from the Xia clan as a concubine, so that they can calm people's hearts." ”
He didn't know the existence of the emperor's edict, but he knew that Prince Xing was seeking greater power and status, and Xia Wusheng also made this meaning clear to the elders and backbones of the clan.
And he, as the Hou Ye, is also one of the core figures of the Xia family, so he naturally has to walk in the front line of support.
Qiu Guhan looked at him and laughed: "Didn't my cousin sue you, I can't be humane, how can I marry a wife?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Xia Muze was stunned, there was such a thing?
Xia Wusheng looked embarrassed, how could he sue others for this kind of thing?
Seeing that they didn't speak for a long time, Qiu Guhan laughed again: "Master Hou, this matter has been verified by Uncle Lobby, and it is definitely not that I deliberately refused, so the matter of getting married is over." If there are still people in the Xia family who are not at ease, I am willing to sign an agreement with the Xia family, if I can go one step further, I will definitely support the Xia family to ensure that the Xia family is richer and more expensive than today. ”
He can understand that the Xia family has such concerns, so he is also willing to give the Xia family a guarantee.
What he said was reasonable, but Xia Muze didn't want to sign a similar agreement with him at all.
Because, Qiu Liuxue's pursuit of greater power and status will definitely attract greater prevention and suppression from the emperor, and the Xia family, as Qiu Liuxue's mother family, will definitely bear the brunt of the emperor's suppression.
If, just if one day Qiu Liuxue really wants to challenge the emperor's position, if it fails or causes the emperor to notice, then that "agreement" is fatal evidence, he doesn't want to sign it.
But if you don't sign it, how can you firmly contain and pull the autumn snow?
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth: "Even if the prince is suffering from a hidden disease, as long as it takes some time to treat it, Lili has a deep affection for the prince, and she must not mind waiting a few more days." ”
"Princess", and she is also a prince-level princess, that is the status that a woman can obtain second only to the queen mother, queen, and concubine.
"Master Hou doesn't mind, this king minds." Qiu Gu said coldly, "This king is also a man, and marrying the princess like this will frustrate his dignity, and sooner or later it will cause suspicion and criticism, which will be detrimental to the reputation of this king." Does Lord Hou want to put this king in such an ugly situation? ”
Xia Muze is really for his own interests, and he doesn't want his daughter's happiness.
Back then, when he needed the support of the Xia family, Xia Muze abandoned him and his mother in order to protect himself; When he first returned to Beijing, he had nothing, Xia Muze disregarded his daughter's wishes, did not let his daughter get close to him, and did not want to get close to him; Now that he has turned over, Xia Muze hurriedly sent his daughter up, and even knew that he was "inhumane" and insisted on it, such thoughts really disdained him.
"This, this ......" Xia Muze didn't expect him to be so strict, as if he was making things difficult for him if he insisted on it, and he was embarrassed.
But after he was embarrassed for a while, he still gritted his teeth and insisted: "Ben Hou definitely doesn't have this heart, so that the prince misunderstood, it is really Ben Hou who is not thoughtful." Since the prince insisted on not marrying, Ben Hou hoped that the prince could be publicly engaged to Lili, and then marry after the prince was cured of the hidden disease. ”
"Lord Wang," after he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added, "This is Benhou's only request!" Lili also said that she would not marry if she was not the prince, so she went to the nunnery to practice for two years, and now she is sensible, and she will never do anything that makes the prince embarrassed again, and she also asked the prince to take the overall situation seriously, so she fulfilled the will of the Xia family. ”
Qiu Guhan sneered in his heart, he actually moved out the "overall situation first" and the "Xia family" to force him, this Xia Muze, it's really shameless!
He was thinking about how to answer, Xia Wusheng sighed and opened his mouth: "Lord Wang, this is not only the request of the Hou Ye, but also the request of the Xia family." ”
