Twenty-fifth: Marriage
"Master, everything is as you expected." It's still the guest room of Tianxiang Building, it's still the window position, it's still the man with half a mask.
The man hooked the corners of his mouth and listened to the report of the phantom behind him: "The third prince is really as the master expected, he is very interested in Miss Yan Qi, and informed Miss Yan Qi. ”
"Oh, so what's her reaction?" The slender and good-looking hand is holding a cup of tea, still slowly steaming.
"I refused, and said that there was someone I wanted to marry, and early this morning, Miss Yanqi entered the palace." The Phantom just stood behind the man, standing straight.
"It seems that she made a choice, and originally thought that she would go to her again tonight, and it seems that she is smarter than I thought, and that would be fine, saving me a lot of trouble. By the way, I asked you to investigate the people around Miss Yan Qi, how is the investigation? The man turned around, only raised his eyelids slightly, and asked lazily.
"Miss Yan Qi has no very threatening people around her, she has two personal maids, and a guard, one of her maids is a girl who has been with Mrs. Yan for more than ten years, and the other is a brother and sister with the guard, all of whom were sent to Miss Yan Qi by General Yan, and her martial arts are not bad. By the way, there is also an old grandmother, I heard that it was sent to Miss Yan Qi by the Phantom Family. The Phantom told the people in front of him little by little.
"Well, it seems that they did protect her very well, but unfortunately, she has to face reality after all. By the way, I heard that there are a lot of people who have gone to Yanfu to propose relatives recently, and they are all relatives of Miss Yanqi? ”
"Yes, since the last time Miss Yan Qi saved the emperor and was suspected of being a phantom family, people have kept going to the Yan Mansion to propose marriage, but they have all been stopped by several masters of the Yan family."
"Oh, really?" The man was satisfied with what he heard, and nodded cooperatively.
"Master, the organization has sent a message, saying that the man temporarily changed his route and went to the sky, and asked if he wanted to stop it?" The person before the Phantom met had already gotten the answer he wanted before he opened his mouth to convey the message of the gang.
The man glanced at him, as if digesting her words, and as if thinking, "Let him go." ”
"Does the master want to go back to the organization?" The organization has sent people to pass the word several times, but they are all asking when the man in front of him will go back.
The man shook his head: "Don't do it for the time being, tell them that if I want to go back, I will naturally go back, don't always come to ask me about my itinerary, it's not their turn to do what I want to do." The man's tone was domineering and cold.
"The subordinates know, and the subordinates will convey it." With that, the Phantom turned to leave.
The man looked out the window again, and not far from his gaze was the most honorable place in the imperial capital, the imperial palace.
It's all about to begin, and I don't know if the people in the palace are ready, ready to face this upside down again.
On the other side, above the main hall of the palace, there are only two people, one is the Son of Heaven of the current dynasty, and the other is Yan Xiruo, who entered the palace early today.
"Do you know what you're talking about?" Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't believe what he had just heard, he thought he had heard it wrong, although he didn't think there was something wrong with his ears, he couldn't help but confirm it once.
Early this morning, the girl in front of him was waiting for him outside the temple gate, saying that she would ask him for that reward, and he didn't think much of it, thinking that she just wanted some strange thing, but when he heard it, he was really startled.
"Of course the courtiers know, the courtiers implore His Majesty to give the courtiers a marriage, and the courtiers want to marry the prince of Mo." Yan Xiruo's eyes were firm, and he repeated the words again.
She had already thought very clearly last night, and for fear that she would regret it, she entered the palace early in the morning.
"Tell me, why do you want to marry Lord Mo, you should know the situation of my five sons, why do you want to marry?" If Yan Xi said it for the second time, the emperor had to believe it, but he was still full of doubts.
"The courtiers know very well the situation of Lord Mo, and it is precisely because of this that the courtiers asked the emperor to marry me and Lord Mo." Yan Xiruo knelt straight on the ground, his voice was very crisp and firm.
Emperor Xuanyuan half-squinted and kept looking at the girl of His Royal Highness: "You want to marry because you know his situation, what is your purpose?" ”
"The courtiers have no purpose, if they have to say the purpose, then the courtiers believe that the emperor must have known the identity of the courtiers a long time ago, so she must have heard those rumors about the courtiers."
"I do know who you are, and I've heard the folk rumors, but what does this have to do with your marriage to my fifth son? I have many sons, why did you choose the stupid fifth? The emperor's brows furrowed, it seemed that they Huang royal people had the habit of frowning.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers said that it is because of the stupidity of Prince Mo that the courtiers want to marry him, the emperor, the courtiers do not want to one day the world will be chaotic because of that rumor, the courtiers do not have the ability to hold the world in their hands, although the courtiers are phantom families, they are just ordinary people, the world has such a expressive statement about the phantom family, but because the phantom family does not ask about the world, it is a little mysterious, in fact, the phantom family does not have any special ability, we are just afraid of trouble. Your Majesty, the courtiers don't want to be the scourge of the country and the people, and they don't want to be forced to bear the heavy responsibilities of the world. So, does the emperor understand, marrying Lord Mo is the best choice, he is stupid, I marry him, this rumor will be self-defeating. Yan Xiruo's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and he also spoke to Emperor Xuanyuan's heart.
It is impossible to say that Emperor Xuanyuan does not believe those rumors at all, every emperor will have a common problem of suspicion, even Emperor Xuanyuan, who is known as the Ming Emperor, is no exception.
But the girl in front of her, the girl who was turned into a scorpion by her own daughter, understood her heart, and even was willing to marry her stupid son in order to stop the rumors and dispel her suspicions.
"But you should also know one thing, that son of mine is not born stupid, can you guarantee that she will never get better?"
"Of course he'll be fine." Yan Xiruo's gaze was firm, and what she said was also very sure, she said with a smile: "But even if she gets up, the emperor, you know your son better than your courtiers, even if he gets better, he will not pose any threat to you and the prince for the sake of him, right?" ”
Emperor Xuanyuan's worries, how Yan Xiruo didn't know, Xuanyuan Mo's unpleasant identity has always been a thorn in Emperor Xuanyuan's heart, he is afraid of him, but he needs him, he hates him, but he wants to compensate him.
Emperor Xuanyuan suddenly laughed, the girl in front of him seemed to be a roundworm in his stomach, guessing everything about him, even his worries and struggles were in his eyes.
Yan Xiruo is not bad at all, he is afraid of that son because of his identity, but he also loves that son, because he is that person's child, he hates that child, but he always wants to make up for him.
"Okay, I promise you to marry you and Lord Mo." When the laughter was enough, Emperor Xuanyuan agreed to Yan Xiruo's request. His son may just need someone to accompany him, and he may not understand the girl in front of him, or he may be really jealous of her identity, so it is a good thing to marry them.
"Your Majesty, can the courtiers ask the emperor for one more thing." Yan Xiruo didn't get up, but still knelt there, staring at the Ninety-Five Supreme.
"You say." Anyway, one request is a promise, and two requests are also promises, so Suo Xin will listen to what she has to say.
"Courtier, I implore the emperor to give the courtiers a holy decree, starting from the day the courtiers marry the prince of Mo, if anyone is saying that the prince of Mo is a fool and an idiot, or a fool, regardless of the position, regardless of the prince and the people, the courtiers can be punished. Of course, the courtiers will never be excessive, the courtiers just don't want their husbands to be insulted by others with the most disrespectful words. ”
The emperor was stunned for her request for the second time today, he never thought that this girl made such a request, he never thought that this girl's mind was so exquisite, and indeed, since Xuanyuan Mo was stupid, he often heard people call him a fool, at that time, he didn't think about stopping it at all, but he felt that there was nothing at all, but this girl asked him to make a holy decree, but to stop those insults.
"Yes, I promise you. Yan Xiruo, can you also promise me one thing. Emperor Xuanyuan didn't know why his eyes were a little painful, he looked at this girl, this girl who was labeled with various labels, this girl who was always smiling but stubborn, and suddenly remembered that child, before he was stupid, he was also so stubborn, at that time, that child was self-confident and beautiful, and was called the little sun of the imperial capital: "Can you treat the fifth child well, can you take care of him for me?" ”
He owes that child too much, once his most beloved son, because the person he loves the most left, he began to slowly alienate him, now think about it, he may be a good emperor, but not a good father.
"Your Majesty, even if you don't say it, he is my husband, and I will definitely take good care of him." Yan Xiruo's eyes made Emperor Xuanyuan very satisfied, and there was no trace of falsehood.
"Well, if there's anything going on, just mention it to me." This is the promise he gave her, and it can be regarded as a little compensation for that child.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yan Xiruo thanked with a smile. For some reason, she felt a sudden sigh of relief.
When leaving the main hall, Yan Xiruo looked up at the sky, and suddenly smiled, laughing from the bottom of her heart, maybe the road ahead is difficult to walk, but she seems to have found a little direction.
She was suddenly looking forward to the look on her face when others knew the news, which must have been funny.
Especially grandma and uncles, it must be very interesting, she can't wait to see it.
