Chapter 315: Debts from Past Lives
After Ling Yi returned to Ruomeng Pavilion, she had been a little uneasy, both Weaving Feather and Weaving Fan knew what she was thinking, and at this time they still consciously did not bother, so that Ling Yi could think alone.
Not long after the three of them came back, Lan asked Cheng to ask Ling Yi to come over and reply, Ling Yi knew what Lan wanted to ask, sorted out his mood and followed Cheng to Guiyuan.
Sure enough, when Lan opened his mouth, he asked how the meeting with Bai Lang was going just now, and Ling Yi naturally wouldn't tell her the truth, but just said a few rough words about how the two talked happily, and said some good things about Bai Lang, indicating that he had no objection to this matter, etc.
The Lan family was very happy, she had been worried about Ling Yi's marriage, now that she could be sure of her relationship with the Bai family, the stone in her heart could also be said to be about to fall, and after Ling Yi left, she asked Ling Shandao to come over, and the two discussed when to go on a blind date with the Bai family.
The elders have begun to plan for the meeting, how can there be a fake, I am afraid that a good thing is coming, Princess Haining learned that the Bai family was going to visit the Ling Mansion in a few days, and hurried to discuss this matter with Gong Chengyan.
"Father, didn't I say it before, the only person who is suitable for the eldest brother is the eldest lady of the Ling Mansion. But now the Bai family is going to make a kick from it, the Bai family is already about to come to the door to propose, once this family matter is settled, there will be no room for maneuver, does my father want to watch such a good family affair fall into the Bai family? ”
Of course, Gong Chengyan was not willing to let Bai Lang marry Ling Yi, after all, Ling Yi's dowry must be a lot. Besides, he is not happy to see the Ling family and the Bai family have a good time, but if Gong Xiru marries Ling Yi, then the Gong family and the Ling family. But there is an inextricable connection, but Emperor Qinglong is bent on getting rid of the Ling family, if his relationship with the Ling family is too close. It is likely to be affected, but in fact, he wishes that the Ling family would be beheaded tomorrow.
Princess Haining saw his hesitation and persuaded: "Father, I know what you are worried about, but what does it matter? The daughter who married out spilled the water, and the woman married into the palace family. From then on, she was a member of the Gong family. According to the Zou family, the Zou family was beheaded all over the house, and the Ling family was not implicated. Even if one day the emperor dealt with the Ling family. At that time, my father just found a reason to send her out of court, without her mother's backer, where could she be arrogant, didn't she let us rub it round. ”
The more Gong Chengyan listened, the more he felt that this was the truth. It can make Gong Xiru unhappy. It can make Ling Yi's stinky girl miserable for the rest of her life, and she can also win the Ling family's property, why not, so she asked, "Have you thought of a way to deal with this matter?" ”
Princess Haining smiled hideously: "Don't worry, father, as long as you follow my method, you will definitely make them dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and you can't tell if you have any bitterness." And this is the first thing to say for the eldest brother. ”
Gong Chengyan listened to her plan. Then he laughed, "That's a good idea." I will enter the palace tomorrow to ask the emperor. ”
On the second day, he met Emperor Qinglong alone and told the latter his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen is boasting, Changyan is good in terms of character and talent, but some time ago, because of the villain's frame, it was rumored that he was good at Longyang, seeing that he is now at the age of marriage, but now who else dares to marry his daughter to my palace family, this is all rumors, Weichen is a father and doesn't know that his child is abnormal? He doesn't like men, but he is often surrounded by a few good friends, which is absolutely normal. ”
Emperor Qinglong didn't understand what he meant by this, and asked, "Aiqing said this, didn't he want me to correct the name of the little marquis?" ”
"Wechen doesn't dare." Gong Chengyan arched his hand and said: "It's just that Weichen has a reluctant request, and I hope that the emperor can fulfill it, and the man should marry the woman and get married, but Changyan is now unable to start a family because of these false rumors, and Weichen is anxious, so he implores the emperor to choose a suitable family for Changyan, and can marry Changyan, once he becomes a parent, those false rumors will be self-defeating." ”
Emperor Qinglong's face was pale and said, "Then which daughter does Aiqing think is suitable?" ”
Gong Chengyan smiled slightly: "It depends on which one you think is suitable for the emperor, in short, the emperor can rest assured, Changyan's child will definitely not live up to his daughter's family, he is a good child, filial piety, and distressing people." ”
Emperor Qinglong was silent for a moment, and then said: "I won't mess around with the mandarin duck spectrum, if the two don't like each other, then it must be my fault in the end, in this way, if the little marquis is really a talent, then the daughter who wants to marry him will not be less, you go back and think about it, this marriage will be decided by yourself." ”
Gong Chengyan had long expected that Emperor Qinglong would not personally ask for marriage, but the purpose of his coming today was not really to ask Emperor Qinglong to marry Gong Xiru, but to let the latter know about it, and by the way, let the news flow out of the palace.
"Then Weichen will go back and discuss with Changyan again, see which girl the child likes in his heart, if the two families are interested, and ask the emperor to marry the child."
Emperor Qinglong should come down for the time being, and Gong Chengyan thanked him again and again before leaving.
After he left, Emperor Qinglong asked Fuquan: "Gong Xiru, that kid, is he really a good man?" ”
Fuquan was a little embarrassed: "The old slave really doesn't know about this matter, and the four princes haven't said it, the old slave asked a few times, but the four princes avoided it, but the emperor, don't worry, the four princes are indeed just friends with the palace marquis." ”
Emperor Qinglong glared at him: "You think this is what I'm worried about?" ”
Fuquan smiled: "The fourth prince is very smart and knows what he wants, don't worry too much, Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Qinglong sighed, "The Queen Mother asked me to go to Shoude Palace a few days ago, do you know why?" ”
Fuquan shook his head: "The old slave doesn't know. ”
"--The Queen Mother already knew that the four princes were not dead, she had always hated Concubine Yue, and it was impossible for me to allow me to pass the throne to the four princes, and I was called over that day to tell me that she wanted the four princes to enter the palace, unless she passed the Queen Mother's pass first."
Fuquan was silent, he knew that even if the Queen Mother did not allow it, the emperor would do everything possible to take the four princes into the palace.
said that after Gong Chengyan went back, he thought about it. In the end, I still felt that only Lord Liao of the Hanlin Academy was the most suitable, and Liao Wei was on the same line as him in private, so he could only ask him for help in this matter.
That night, he went to Liao's Mansion to see Liao Wei. said that he wanted to marry the Liao family.
Although Liao Wei said that he was afraid of Gong Chengyan's power, this did not mean that he was willing to marry his baby daughter to someone who liked men.
"You can rest assured that I don't really want to marry you, in fact, your daughter finally married the Bai family, Bai Lang's kid, you should know, your daughter will definitely not suffer if she marries him. And if the two of you get married, the relationship will be much closer. Gong Chengyan persuaded him.
Liao Wei was confused when he heard this: "What does this mean?" Why do you say that you are married to your children and daughters, and then you say that you are married to the Bai family. Who the hell is my daughter going to marry? ”
Gong Chengyan didn't want to reveal much to him, but affirmed: "Do you like Bai Lang's child?" If you like it, if your daughter likes it, then I will match the two of you. You just need to know that your daughter will eventually marry the Bai family. But on the day of marriage, you have to listen to my arrangement. ”
Liao Wei thought about it, if his daughter could marry Bai Lang, it would be really good, so he didn't ask more, and answered him verbally.
After Gong Chengyan left, Wuying, who had been following him, returned to the Hou Mansion and told Gong Xiru about the latter's whereabouts.
"I've gone to Liaofu. I probably agreed, but my subordinates felt it. He shouldn't tell Hou Ye that he wants to do a prelude first. ”
Gong Xiru sneered, "It's okay to cut first and then play, I'll do everything he wants." ”
Gong Sheng listened on the sidelines, and couldn't help laughing: "It's rare for Master Hou to be so obedient once, if the master knows, I'm afraid he will think that you have changed your sex." ”
Gong Xiru glanced at him, but there was a smile in his eyes, if he knew the truth, I am afraid that he would rather come against him.
Since then, only two days later, Bai Lang accompanied the Wang family and the Zhao family to the Ling Mansion, according to the rules, Ling Yi and Bai Lang each met accompanied by the elders, and they felt very good with each other, and the elders also felt very good, so they immediately exchanged tokens, and this matter was finalized.
However, considering that Ling Yi swore that she would not marry, the matter of her request to marry the Bai family was not much publicized, but relatives and friends could know about it.
Lan only thought that she was thin-skinned, so she agreed, she just knew about the marriage, and there was no need for everyone to know.
So the relationship between the Ling family and the Bai family was settled, and on the other hand, Gong Chengyan made a marriage with the Liao family without authorization, and only after the two sides exchanged tokens did he tell Gong Xiru about it, and sternly told the latter that he must not shirk and say no.
And maybe it was because he knew that he couldn't be the master of marriage, maybe he liked a man, and it was the same for anyone to marry, Gong Xiru didn't refuse, and agreed to the marriage after taking the token.
Everything is going according to plan, Gong Chengyan has never felt that it has gone so smoothly, as long as he waits for the Bai family and the Ling family to set a date for marriage, then his plan with Princess Haining will be half successful.
In the Hou Mansion, Gong Xiru saw that it was still early, so he wanted to go to see Ling Yi, since Ling Yi promised him, he had not officially met the latter.
"Master Hou, please stay, I have something to say." Just as he was about to go out, the old man with a snow-white beard but full of energy stopped Gong Xiru.
Gong Xiru bowed to the latter: "Master Siyin-"
Si Yin frowned and said, "You really decided?" You have to think clearly, as long as you get out of this door today, the result you expect will come as scheduled, but what will follow, as well as your bloody disaster, you can't avoid it, whether it is in the past life or in this life, if you insist on this, you have only a dead end. ”
There was firmness in Gong Xiru's eyes: "Master, you also said that whether it is in the past life or this life, my fate with her is unbreakable, I don't remember any previous life, I only know this life, I don't want to miss her, the master knows that the person in my mind since I was a child has always been her, and it has never changed." ”
Si Yin sighed and shook his head: "Hey-the three of you, the bad fate formed in the previous life, in this life, there will always be an end, if you refuse to listen to the old man, the old man only advises you, life is death, death is life, she came from the previous life, she owes you a debt, destined for this life, is to block a catastrophe for you." ”
Gong Xiru was slightly stunned, and said uncertainly: "Will she encounter any disaster?" ”
Si Yin bowed his head, but said: "You can't avoid this calamity, what should come will always come, and you can't avoid it, unless you don't step out of this gate today." ”
Gong Xiru only hesitated for a moment, and then said with certainty: "I can't see what I will encounter in the future, and I can't give up that marriage because of things I can't see, this kind of thing is not worth it." ”
Si Yin could only nod, "Go, go, people say that I can peek through the heavens, but people are like this, what about peeping, I can't stop it, I can't stop it." ”
Gong Xiru smiled slightly and walked straight out. (To be continued.) )
