274 Is it too late?
Chi Zhongyuan nodded unhurriedly in the eyes of the courtiers who were watching the show and the suspicious gaze of Emperor Hongyuan.
"The dog's family affair was indeed decided by Mrs. Weichen when she was in Yizhou. The woman's girl was already favored by Mrs. Chen, and when Weichen was busy entering Beijing, Mrs. exchanged more stickers with the woman's mother first. Because the girl was unwell at this time, Mrs. Chen did not publicize the matter, because not many people knew about it. ”
What Chi Zhongyuan said was reasonable.
After all, although all the ministers present here learned from their own wives that the prince of the Marquis of Zhongyong had not yet decided on a marriage.
However, if the girl is really unwell, and Mrs. Zhongyong Hou is really optimistic about the girl, and she is in a hurry to go to the capital, under all kinds of considerations, she can really decide Chi Shengjin's marriage first, and then announce the matter to everyone after the girl recovers.
Emperor Hongyuan listened to Chi Zhongyuan's words, and his face softened.
Instead, he couldn't help but ask Chi Zhongyuan very happily, "I don't know if Aiqing is the young general I am, and the girl in the house in Yizhou is set?" ”
Fang just gave Chi Shengjin the identity of "walking in front of the emperor", and now Emperor Hongyuan directly called him a "young general", and all the courtiers present also came to a conclusion lightly - it seems that not only is the Marquis of Zhongyong favored, but Chi Zhongli has a bright future, and even the prince of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion is just around the corner.
The ministers secretly thought in their hearts that they would definitely pay attention to their friendship with the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion in the future.
At the same time, he couldn't help but brush his beard, squinting his eyes and secretly speculating: The family affairs of the prince of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion have been decided, as if. There are still a few girls in the Hou Mansion, but they didn't say anything about others, so it is better to marry their own sons and nephews?
That's a good idea.
Not to mention all the courtiers here, they are secretly making some small calculations in their hearts.
However, he said that after Chi Zhongyuan listened to Emperor Hongyuan's questioning, he also said angrily: "The girl that Mrs. Chen set for the dog is the second girl of Qingyang Bofu in Yizhou. ”
"Qingyang Bofu?"
Emperor Hongyuan was in his tone. A sound of surprise crossed by.
Not only Emperor Hongyuan was surprised. All the courtiers present also felt very incredible, and even the four sisters of Chi Linglong, who were sitting on the side of the female dependent, seemed to have been struck by lightning.
Big brother's fiancée. Is it the second girl from Qingyang Bofu?
Two girls? Xie Hui?
Sky!
Chi Linglong rubbed her temples with a headache, she and Mu Changyao's family affair was over, but she didn't expect that the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion really had a fate with Mu Xie's family. The eldest brother wants to marry her maiden niece Xie Hui?
Xie Hui, when she was in Yizhou. is a very good best friend, and now she is going to become her sister-in-law?
Well, let her slow down first.
Chi Linglong was hit hard, and so did Chi Mingzhu.
Chi Linglong's mind moved at the moment. Looking towards the location of the Mu Xie clan, he saw that the Mu Xie clan had a stunned expression, and the surprise in his eyes was obvious.
Gee. I don't know what is in Musie's mind right now.
She didn't want Mu Changyao to marry her, and disliked her as a concubine. wants Ji Mingzhen, the concubine, to replace her.
As a result, in exchange for a daughter-in-law, she was replaced by the county lord of Pingyang as her daughter-in-law, and she vomited blood by herself.
However, although Mu Changyao and her are inseparable, her niece of her mother's family is the concubine of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion as she wished, and she is still the son.
The niece of the mother's family has such a good way out, thinking about it, Mu Xie's current mood should be high. Excited and excited, right?
Chi Linglong pursed her lips slightly, feeling very good about Xie Hui's marriage to Chi Shengjin.
However, when he thought of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, he really turned a corner, and became in-laws with Mu Xie's family again, Chi Linglong was also depressed and panicked.
To be honest, she hated Musieh.
Chi Linglong complained in her heart, but Emperor Fang Hongyuan's face was light and could not see the slightest joy and anger.
The three major prefectures of Yizhou: Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, Qingyang Bo Mansion, Jingyuan Bo Mansion.
Not to mention the Marquis of Zhongyong, because he has 300,000 sailors in Yizhou, the status of the Marquis of Zhongyong in Yizhou has always been precious.
Jingyuan Bofu began to decline fifty years ago, and now the whole family is broken; Although he still bears the title of Earl's Mansion, the inside has long been rotten.
Qingyang Bofu is also not as good as before.
If it is said that twenty years earlier, Qingyang Bofu still had a high status in Yizhou, since he demoted the title of Qingyang Bofu, and demoted the earlier Qingyang Marquis Mansion to Qingyang Bofu, Qingyang Bofu is also much worse than before.
Qingyang Bofu has no successor, and there has been no stunning descendant born for more than ten years, and the uncle who is now in charge of the house is an unclear and unclear son of Bofu, and it is the root cause of the demotion of Qingyang Bofu.
The head of the family is not good, and it is only a matter of time before the Qingyang Bofu is taken away.
Chi Zhongyuan was able to let his wife set the girl of Qingyang Bofu for Chi Shengjin?
The thinking in Emperor Hongyuan's heart couldn't help but get deeper at this time.
Although since ancient times, it has been "low-door marriage, high-door marriage", Ji Shengjin, the fiancée, chose it, and her background is really too unacceptable.
Qingyang Bofu can still be taken in Yizhou, and in the capital, it can't even be compared to a third-class family.
Chi Zhongyuan can actually take a fancy to such a girl who has no help for her eldest son?
Oh, he forgot that the lady of Anguo Mansion seems to be from Qingyang Bofu.
Anguo Mansion, Concubine Mu Xian, the Five Emperors, and Chi Zhongyuan don't want to help the Five Princes?
Probably not.
Emperor Hongyuan denied the speculations that popped up one after another in his heart.
He knew the person of Chi Zhongyuan.
Chi Zhongyuan is a dignified person, but his temperament is ruthless, and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has never participated in the princes' seizure of the throne, only as a pure minister, before the government because of this consideration, he resolutely transferred Chi Zhongyuan to the capital after thinking about it for a long time, named him a brave general, and handed over the 200,000 troops of the Gongwei Beijing Division to him to lead.
Chi Zhongyuan is a calculating person, and he will never turn to support the prince and make him suspicious.
In this way, excluding all these unreasonable speculations, there is only one possibility, which is most in line with Chi Zhongyuan's actions.
Thinking about it, Chi Zhongyuan should be, just looking at the current situation of Qingyang Bofu.
――Far away in Yizhou, the home of decline. will not get involved in the battle for the throne,......
If his eldest son's family affairs are uncertain, he, as the emperor, can't help but worry that Chi Zhongyuan will be co-opted by that faction after he enters Beijing.
And so, very well.
Willing, willing. There is a give-and-take.
Chi Zhongyuan is so knowledgeable about current affairs. As a king, he really has two brushes in the aspect of looking at people.
Emperor Hongyuan's face stretched. couldn't help but praise Chi Zhongyuan a few more times, and then talked to Chi Zhongli and Chi Shengjin, and his face became more kind.
After asking about Ji Shengjin's wedding date, Emperor Hongyuan nodded with satisfaction.
Turn. looked at the side of him, who had been indifferently distracted. Occasionally, he picked his eyelids and took a look at his future father-in-law and uncle's Qin Chenghei, and Emperor Hongyuan had a rare joke.
"Ling Ze, your eldest brother is because of your relatives. deliberately advanced his wedding date by a few months, after your kid returns to Beijing, don't forget to give your uncle a good life banquet. ”
Youlang smiled and said, "When your eldest brother gets married." And don't forget to give a generous gift. Otherwise, I will not depend on you when the time comes. ”
Emperor Hongyuan laughed. The courtiers present also flattered and said a few words, "The ministers will definitely go to the scene when the time comes." "When King Qin invites wine, can Wei Chen also go over and have a good time?"
Two days passed.
On the evening of this day, Emperor Hongyuan, under the joy of his heart, once again set up a banquet in the hall where the guests had been entertained earlier, and feasted the ministers and all the noblewomen and noblewomen who came to the royal enclosure.
Chi Linglong has been sitting with Chi Mingzhu at this banquet, and the two of them have lowered their voices, talking about their own views on the matter of marrying Xie Hui to the eldest brother Chi Shengjin.
Although two days have passed, Chi Linglong still has a sudden sense of unreality.
In the past two days, she has also figured out the reason why her father set Xie Hui as the princess for her eldest brother.
I think it must be to avoid being co-opted by the courtiers after entering Beijing, and in order to prevent myself from being involuntarily, I took precautions in advance and set Xie Hui for my eldest brother.
The Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has only been a pure minister for generations, and is only loyal to the emperor of the current dynasty, and his father's move has avoided being suspicious of the emperor.
And Qingyang Bofu has now declined, and when he was in Yizhou, he was a family that was "friendly" with the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, so the two families decided to be married, and it came naturally, and no one could gossip.
Although Chi Linglong has long figured out some of these truths, she is still a little incompetent to accept that her best friend wants to become her sister-in-law.
She'd never been in this situation before, hey.
Thinking like this in their hearts, Chi Linglong and Chi Mingzhu talked about their views on this marriage, but they only said good things, and now they started to help Xie Hui and play the sister-in-law's favor.
To her surprise, Chi Mingzhu also felt that this marriage was very good.
"Although Xie Hui has a cold temperament, he is very skillful. In our house, heh, if the eldest brother marries a standard noble girl, or a delicate girl, he will definitely not be able to control it...... Those two. In this way, it is not bad for the eldest brother to marry Xie Hui. ”
When the banquet was coming to an end, Chi Linglong was helpless again and asked June and July to accompany her to the clean room.
Based on the fact that the first few times I went to the clean room during the banquet, I had to be a little unhappy, and Chi Linglong originally planned to hold back today and not leave the table.
It's just that her thoughts are very powerful, but her bladder is not.
When Chi Linglong came out of the clean room, it was already late.
There is no moon in the sky today, but there are many stars.
Sprinkled in small pieces, like a velvet cloth as gorgeous and dark in the night, twinkling and flashing, like diamonds.
Chi Linglong blew the wind outside for a while, cleared her head, and called June and July, ready to go back.
This time, there were no drunken ghosts along the road, and Chi Linglong was also relieved.
However, when he was about to arrive at the palace and a kapok tree that the three of them couldn't hug together, Chi Linglong was shocked again and found that the Seventh Prince happened to be standing in the shadow of the kapok tree.
There was originally a street lamp here, because the position where the Seven Princes were standing was behind the kapok tree, and Chi Linglong was about to walk to the kapok tree before he found him.
Chi Linglong is like a great enemy, and June and July are even more remorseful for their dereliction of duty.
It was they who were careless and ignored the movements around them.
However, it must be because the Seventh Prince deliberately suppressed his breathing, otherwise, although she and June are not as strong as the Seven Princes, if they want to come, they will not be able to come to the front of them, only to find that there is a person hidden here.
The Seven Princes walked leisurely and walked out of the shadows laid by the kapok tree.
When he saw Chi Linglong, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and his handsome face was a mess, because of this subtle movement, it was even more handsome and elegant.
It was not the first time that Chi Linglong had seen the Seventh Prince, but perhaps it was the last time the Seventh Prince was drunk, which scared her, and Chi Linglong now looked at the approaching Seventh Prince, and she also took a step back uncomfortably.
"Miss Chi?" The Seventh Prince narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought for a moment, before calling out to her uncertainly.
When Chi Linglong heard his words, she was happy that she and the Seventh Prince really didn't know herself, and she thought about it, and forgot about the dirty things that happened on the night he was drunk a few days earlier.
Under the turn of her mind, Chi Linglong's heart that she was carrying now slowly let go.
However, she was still vigilant and stood far away from the Seven Princes.
"The Seven Princes."
Chi Linglong respectfully said ten thousand blessings to the Seven Princes.
The Seventh Prince bowed his head, not entangled with her, but was very gentlemanly, and said to Chi Linglong: "The banquet is about to disperse, Miss Chi should go back to the hall quickly, I want to come to your sisters, I can't find anyone, it's time to worry." ”
Chi Linglong thanked him, respectfully and detached again, saluted the Seventh Prince, and then turned around and walked towards the main hall.
Her steps were fast, but after walking a dozen steps, her steps were staggered.
In front of the bright palace, under the illumination of several rows of large lanterns, Qin Chengsi was standing there with a long body at the moment, looking at her with burning eyes.
He seemed to have drunk some wine, his eyes were a little foggy, and then he looked at her, but it was sharp and burning, and there was a faint grievance.
Chi Linglong's facial lines, which were still tense, were completely relaxed at this moment.
Her steps quickened again unconsciously.
This time, with his footsteps moving, but without the heaviness of Fang Cai, Chi Linglong is now brisk and can't fly.
When Qin Chengsi approached her, in order to avoid suspicion, he also turned around one step ahead of her and walked towards the main hall.
Chi Linglong followed him step by step, thinking that no one knew, happily stepping on Qin Chenghei's footprints, so unhappy in his heart.
No matter how much Qin Chengsi saw it and how much anger and grievances he felt in his heart, he still trusted her.
How good is it......
The night wind blew the corners of the clothes of the Seven Princes, and the Seven Princes standing in the night wind were like immortals who wanted to return by the wind.
He was long, his face was like jade, and his narrow eyes were looking at the back of Chi Linglong, who had disappeared into the main hall, and the gentle smile on his face was a little cold.
Sniffing the fragrant fragrance of orchid musk in the air, the Seven Princes showed a trance-like look on their faces.
He has an unusual sense of smell, and he is keen to sniff out the slightest abnormality.
And he has always been self-controlled, and it is impossible for him to get drunk.
That night was just an act made by the devil and the gods.
Pity...... She seemed to be a little afraid of him?
Is he late...... (To be continued)
