357 The Deadly Bride
He paused: "If Lili has a conscience, she should work hard to protect the Xia family." After she marries into the Ji family, if she finds that the Ji family is not good for the Xia family, she should take advantage of it to resolve and sabotage the Ji family's actions. Even if she can't do this, she should at least accept her husband and let her husband help her mother. ”
He has already made it very clear that he wants Xia Lili to act as the eyeliner that the Xia family has placed in the Ji family, and even a spy.
Autumn bones were cold and silent.
He no longer has a relationship between men and women for Xia Lili, but there is still a little bit of family affection.
He really didn't want Xia Lili to become a pawn and victim of Xia Wusheng's ambitions. But he can see that Ji Linfeng really loves Xia Lili, and Xia Lili marrying Ji Linfeng is probably her best choice and destination.
It's just that this qiē is not what she wants.
Xia Wusheng saw that he didn't speak, thinking that he had acquiesced, and said with satisfaction: "Starting tomorrow, you and I will visit the important people in the clan, and then I will take you to meet all kinds of nobles in the capital. ”
Qiu Guhan said: "Uncle Tang, this matter really can't be rushed. I'll tell you the truth, I was often beaten during my years in the mines, and I was injured a lot when I was wandering outside, and my life was damaged, and I need to be recuperated for a long time, and I am afraid that I will not be humane for a year or two. Let's let go of the marriage first, and it's not too late to ask for marriage after my body recovers. ”
Of course, this is a lie, and his lifeline is too good.
But in order to refuse the marriage, he could only say this.
Xia Wusheng's gaze subconsciously moved to his sensitive place, and a little worry appeared on his face: "This injury can be cured."
He believed Qiu Guhan's words, because he saw with his own eyes that Qiu Guhan's body was carved with many wounds, some of which were quite fatal injuries, and Qiu Guhan was so thin when he first saw it, he knew that he was not in good health at a glance.
He was afraid that Qiu Guhan would really lose his fertility. It is absolutely impossible for a man who does not have children to be the king of God.
"Don't worry, uncle." Qiu Guhan smiled, "I just haven't healed from my internal injuries, and my body is still relatively weak, and I can completely heal after a year or two, and I guarantee that I will have a good life and marry more than a dozen wives and concubines." ”
Xia Wusheng was relieved and patted him on the shoulder: "You are still young, and it doesn't hurt to slow down the matter of getting married, but you still have to have more contact with the noble daughters in the capital and marry a few wives and concubines who can help you." ”
Qiu Guhan smiled, not revealing the slightest true feeling: "What Uncle Tang said is extremely true, Liuxue has been taught. ”
Xia Wusheng left after saying what he wanted to say, and Qiu Guhan was lying on the bed, his eyes were cold.
The next day, Emperor Shangshen issued an edict to officially seal Qiu Liuxue as Prince Xing, and gave another palace, two courtyards, 500 acres of fertile land, and more than 200 eunuchs, palace maids, and guards.
Before the renovation and decoration of Prince Xing's mansion was completed, Qiu Guhan lived in Xia Wusheng's courtyard in the capital.
Although Xia Wusheng was an official in the court, he often went to foreign countries, and he did not spend much time in the capital, so his main residence was not in the capital, and when he returned to the capital in the past, he mostly lived in the mansion of Taoli Hou, and rarely lived in his own courtyard.
This time, in order to support Qiu Guhan, he specially reorganized his courtyard, added a large number of guards and dead soldiers, feasted relatives and friends every day, and made every effort to "push" Qiu Guhan to the front of the scene.
At the same time, Emperor Shang Shen issued another holy decree to bless one of the most promising witches of the Zhu family and give him a marriage to the police prince Qiu Lushuang.
It happened too suddenly, the courtiers talked a lot, and Qiu Lushuang was also surprised.
He directly asked He Yuan, who came to deliver the message: "Who is the blessing, is she worthy of being my princess?"
He Yuan hurriedly laughed: "The princesses that the emperor chose for Prince Police are naturally excellent." This Miss Zhu is the cousin and niece of the national teacher, seventeen years old, born extremely delicate and dignified, and her temperament is also excellent. The most important thing is that she is a high-ranking witch second only to Zhu Guifei among the women of the Zhu family, and she is good at praying for blessings and eliminating disasters, but the noble children of the capital want to marry her."
Qiu Lushuang frowned: "Since this woman is so valuable, the emperor is willing to give it to me"
Autumn Night Strings will be so kind, and the heart of Autumn Night Strings will not be better if the day and night are reversed.
"The prince is the emperor's own brother, how can the emperor treat the prince badly" and Yuan said respectfully, "The emperor said, many people are still suspicious of the prince, and even try to hurt the prince, and the best thing Miss Zhu is best at is blessing and eliminating disasters, and having her by the prince's side will definitely bring good fortune and good luck to the prince." ”
He looked at Qiu Lushuang's expression of disbelief, and said: "The prince is the emperor's own brother, if something happens just after returning to the capital, isn't it because the emperor can't take care of it, so the emperor decided to give Miss Zhu a marriage to the prince, and asked the prince to understand the emperor's hard work." ”
In this way, it is in line with the psychology of Qiu Yexian who likes to pretend to be a good person.
Qiu Lushuang pondered in her heart, squinted her eyes and said: "If the blessing has no ability, then the king will not marry a loss."
He is a prince, Qiu Yexian's own brother, or a future emperor, according to his original thoughts, he should marry a princess who is more beautiful and obedient than Ji Lian and Zhu Xue, and can help him like Feng Jinghua.
In fact, he used to have beautiful and useful princesses and concubines, but after he lost to Qiu Yexian, his princesses and concubines either died or disappeared, and he is now single again.
And far away: "The prince can rest assured. Miss Blessing's ability is well-known throughout the capital, and many rich and noble families have to find a way to get the consent of the national teacher if they have a bad year or bad luck, so that Miss Blessing can come to the door to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings. Whoever receives the prayers of Miss Blessed will reverse their bad luck. At this point, as long as the prince inquires, he will know that the little one is not lying. ”
He was telling the truth. It's just that this Miss Blessing rarely goes out, and when she goes out, she must be tightly wrapped, and no one outside knows what she looks like, even inside the Zhu family, few people have seen her appearance.
Of course, Zhu Mang is also very mysterious, and few people outside have seen her appearance.
Qiu Lushuang was moved, but she still had doubts: "I heard that the people of the Zhu family are popular for internal marriage, the bloodline is chaotic and evil, and the children born by the guide are all monsters. Wouldn't this blessing also be an obstacle?"
He Yuan was shocked by his words.
This kind of rumor spread secretly many years ago, but no one can prove it, and no one dares to ask and mention it in public.
"Why, don't you dare to say it" Qiu Lushuang stared at him, "It can't be like this, right?"
He wouldn't marry a monster with filthy bloodlines and give birth to evil, abnormal children.
"No, no, no." He Yuan had to explain, "Miss Blessing's mother and grandmother were born of the Zhu family's intermarriage with foreigners, and her grandfather and father are foreigners, and Miss Blessing's blood is very clean." The prince only needs to investigate a little to know this. ”
He's right. However, Zhu Mang is just the opposite of Blessing, whoever marries Zhu Mang will be unlucky.
Qiu Lushuang nodded: "Okay, your words have been written down by this king." This king will investigate what you said, and if you lie to this king, this king will cancel the marriage. If what you say is true, the king will marry and bless the door immediately. ”
Then he sent Heyuan and sent someone to investigate the blessing
