The civil and military officials had complicated expressions, and watched Cui Zhenyi follow Emperor Zhi'an's guard of honor to the imperial study.

The long guard of honor stopped outside the imperial study, and when Emperor An got off the imperial court, he did not immediately enter the imperial study, but stopped to wait for Cui Zhenyi. made Cui Zhenyi tremble, his legs were weak, and he almost knelt.

The two walked into the imperial study one after the other, and a young man with a long body and a handsome appearance greeted him and saluted, "I've seen the imperial brother." ”

"No courtesy." Emperor An sat on the dragon chair, and then pointed to the official hat chair on the lower left side, and said, "Sit down." ”

"Yes." Zhou Heng respectfully agreed, made a gesture to Cui Zhenyi, and said, "Zhou Heng has seen the eldest uncle. ”

Zhou Heng? King Jin! Cui Zhenyi was taken aback, and said at a loss: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." He saluted again and said, "I have seen the prince." ”

Emperor Zhi'an looked at Cui Zhenyi's embarrassment, laughed, and said, "Cui Qing, my younger brother, is worthy of your niece?" ”

Cui Zhenyi was dumbfounded.

Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "Presumably, the eldest uncle dislikes me for not being able to learn?" Uncle Haojiao learned that when I was young, my father also invited the famous teacher Daru to teach carefully. ”

That's not true! That's not true! Cui Zhenyi knew that Zhou Heng was confused, and he couldn't explain it in front of Emperor Zhi'an, so he had to make a bitter face and said: "The minister wants to go to the Queen Mother to ask for peace, I don't know if the emperor can grant permission?" ”

Is this to ask the Queen Mother to withdraw her grace? Emperor An looked at Zhou Heng and was very hesitant.

Zhou Heng bowed slightly.

Emperor An said: "This marriage was vigorously promoted by the Queen Mother, and Qing should go to Kunning Palace to thank her." Come on, go and see if the Queen Mother is free at this time. ”

Cui Zhenyi almost fainted, thinking about it, he really couldn't remember where he had offended the Queen Mother, so he had to wait here with a pestle.

Emperor An talked to Zhou Heng about the brushwork of painting lotus flowers, and when it came to the rise, he asked the waiter to lay out the paper and draw it for Zhou Heng to show on the spot.

The palace people went back and forth, and the queen mother had just returned from chanting the scriptures in the Buddhist hall, so she asked Cui Shilang to come over.

Cui Zhenyi cheered himself up while walking, thinking that even if he didn't want to fight for the future, he would have to withdraw from this marriage.

In order to please the Queen Mother, Wang Zhe rushed over early to report Cui Zhenyi's public refusal to marry when he retired from the dynasty. When the Queen Mother saw Cui Zhenyi, she naturally didn't have a good face.

"The Cui family has been a Qinghe clan since the previous dynasty, and it has been inherited for more than 100 years, which is longer than the time when our dynasty was founded. Speaking of which, more than 100 years ago, our Zhou family was just a peasant facing the loess with his back to the sky. The children and grandchildren of the family are indeed not worthy of the nobles of your previous dynasty. The Queen Mother looked at Cui Zhenyi with a pair of triangular eyes, and said coolly.

The palace attendants in the palace were eager to shrink into the wall, and the queen mother was really angry, and even the details of the ancestors were turned out.

Cui Zhenyi kowtowed and said: "The Queen Mother said this, the ministers will not be redeemed if they die." ”

The Cui family in Qinghe was indeed a nobleman in the previous dynasty, but now it has been seventy or eighty years since the change of dynasty, and the Cui family has also entered the imperial examination. When the Queen Mother said this, she just pressed him with a big hat, so that he couldn't open his mouth and ask for the holy decree to be withdrawn.

The Queen Mother sneered: "Isn't the son of the mourning family not worthy of your niece?" ”

Although Zhou Heng was born by Wei Guifei, she was her mother-in-law. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had a lot of scruples about Zhou Heng.

Cui Zhenyi kowtowed, and didn't dare to speak. Can he say that because King Jin is not your old man's biological son, I am afraid that he will be killed by you, so I am unwilling to marry my niece?

Seeing that he was silent, the Queen Mother slapped a pair of white and tender hands on the table with a "snap", and said sharply: "What do you say!" ”

Beads of sweat rolled down Cui Zhenyi's head and dripped on the mirror bricks that were recognizable. He was in a hurry, and a sentence came out of his mouth: "The niece of the minister has been sluggish since she was a child, and she was raised by her mother, and her mother loved her more than her life." Her marriage, the minister really can't be the master, and please forgive the queen mother. ”

The Queen Mother was furious and said, "Who has done the master?" ”

Cui Zhenyi said stubbornly: "Mother." ”

In other words, although you made the decree and we received it, without my mother's nod, this marriage would still not be done.

When has the Queen Mother ever been tricked like this? She exclaimed, "Good! Good! Good! The mourning family announced that the old lady Zhang entered Beijing and asked in person to see if the bloodline of the first emperor was worthy of the nobles of the previous dynasty. ”

This is a serious matter, if nothing else, just a crime that is unwilling to surrender can make the Cui family raid the family and exterminate the clan.

Cui Zhenyi's mind was blank in panic, and he didn't know how to deal with it to avoid this disaster.

At this moment, Zhou Heng walked in and said with a smile: "The queen mother loves to joke, and it scares Cui Shilang a lot. ”

Cui Zhenyi lay on the ground, only to see a corner of the moon-white robe past him and walk forward.

"The son has seen the queen mother." Zhou Heng saluted, glanced at Cui Zhenyi, and said, "Where did Cui Shilang know that the queen mother was joking, I'm afraid that he would really bring Mrs. Zhang into Beijing." The weather is so hot, and Mrs. Zhang is old again, if there is anything missing, how can it be good? ”

Mrs. Zhang is a lady who has been entitled, and she has entered the palace a few years ago, and the Queen Mother still has some impressions.

The Queen Mother's anger decreased slightly, and she said angrily: "The daughter-in-law has not married yet, so this is biased in favor of the Yue family." ”

She was very interested in Zhou Heng's knowledge, let her arrange it, and did not object to this marriage, she was still very satisfied, and she looked at Zhou Heng a lot.

Zhou Heng smiled "hehe", stepped forward to support Cui Zhenyi, and said, "Lord Cui, please get up quickly." He asked the palace people to fetch water: "Look at this sweaty head." ”

is completely a posture of treating Cui Zhenyi as a father-in-law.

Cui Zhenyi sighed and stood up with Zhou Heng's support.

The Queen Mother didn't want to let him go like this, and said: "Heng'er, he can say that this family matter has to be nodded by Mrs. Zhang." ”

Zhou Heng said: "If the queen mother thinks it is appropriate to marry the Cui family, it is okay for the minister to go to Qinghe and let Mrs. Zhang take a look." He salivated and said, "Fortunately, Erchen is not too ugly, so he won't frighten Mrs. Zhang." ”

The corners of the Queen Mother's lips hooked, and then asked Cui Zhenyi with a straight face: "If Mrs. Zhang agrees, what do you say?" ”

Cui Zhenyi sweated and said: "If the mother nods, the minister will naturally have no words." ”

As long as he repairs a book and makes the stakes clear, how can his mother agree to this family business?

The Queen Mother said "um" with satisfaction, and said: "This is what you said, if you break your word and get fat, and regard the royal majesty as a child's play, can't the mourning family deal with you?" ”

The Son of Heaven was angry and ambushed millions of corpses, but the Son of Heaven also had to listen to his mother. Cui Zhenyi's heart was sudden, but he still stubbornly said: "If my mother doesn't agree......"

The Queen Mother said unhappily: "The mourning family naturally withdraws the will. Could it be that our family will die and beg for nothing? He said to Zhou Heng again: "You have to be angry, don't let people laugh at us." ”

This rises to the height of the royal face.

Zhou Heng responded with a "yes" and said, "Erchen, just pack up and go to Qinghe immediately." ”
