Chapter Ninety-One: Your Shield
Dear guys, our poor monthly pass, isn't it time to chase after it!
------Off topic------
Xie Fanghua couldn't help laughing, "Okay, good, good, son's life, don't dare to disobey." ”
Yan Chen looked at her with a straight face, "Now that your marriage is settled, not to mention that ten percent of the dust has settled, it is also eight or nine times out of ten, and there will be no more variables." You can't go on like this, it's time to relax and heal your internal wounds. From today on, I will focus on you to recuperate from your injuries, and before the wedding, I must take care of you. You are not allowed to say no. ”
"Where can it be so easy to collapse." Xie Fanghua shook his head.
"Emotional matters, don't force them. In my opinion, as long as you are good, he is good. Yan Chen stretched out his hand and took her pulse, "The body is too weak, I think too much, but the trauma is well healed these days, and in another month, the trauma will heal." The internal injuries are not improving, and if you continue like this, it will sooner or later drag down your body. ”
Xie Fanghua watched Xie Yunlan leave, feeling uncomfortable, and whispered to Yan Chen, "I'm actually sorry for Brother Yunlan." ”
Xie Yunlan bowed his head, stood up, and walked out of the Begonia Garden with Aunt Fu.
Aunt Fu babbled something else, and finally said to Xie Yunlan, "Son, since you want to help prepare for the marriage, come with me now!" The old marquis and the prince and the princess discuss things, you can also listen, you can know an approximate deadline, what you need to prepare, and you can start as soon as possible. ”
Xie Fanghua nodded again.
"After the princess and the old marquis discuss the matter, it is estimated that they will come to you." Aunt Fu said again.
Xie Fanghua nodded.
"As soon as the right minister and Lord Wang left, Prince Ying and the princess came, and the old marquis was talking to Prince Ying. Agree on specific dates for each ceremony. Aunt Fu said, "The princess has lost a lot of weight these days, and I was shocked when I saw her today." But fortunately, people are spiritual. The second son of Zheng did not come, and it is said that he is still in the camp in Xishan. ”
Xie Yunlan nodded, his face calm.
"That's good!" Aunt Fu was overjoyed, "It is impossible for the old marquis to do these things in person, I need to take care of the trivial things such as the wedding clothes, jewelry, embroidery, etc., and the secretary has to support the ushering of the entire mansion, and the manpower is really insufficient, the prince is not there, and there is no one to preside over the overall situation." With the son here, the old slave will be relieved. You're not an outsider, and it's just right to come forward and do this. ”
"Although I'm recuperating from my injuries, I can do such small things, if Aunt Fu can be trusted, leave it to me!" Xie Yunlan suddenly said, "I can still do the things I procure, do some things." ”
Aunt Fu was embarrassed again, "We don't have a hostess in the house, and now that we are divided into clans, it is not good to invite the lady of the sixth room to ......."
"Just use it!" Xie Fanghua said again.
Aunt Fu nodded, "The earlier wedding dress and the fabrics selected, can you still use them?" After you were injured, I was so angry that I stopped working. ”
"Ready!" Xie Fanghua said.
Aunt Fu wiped her tears and nodded, "Now that the marriage is granted by the Holy Decree and the marriage will be completed within three months, there is no need to prepare the dowry in private, you can prepare it with great fanfare." After today's holy decree is given to get married, the days are tight, no more than two days, and about the Geng post will be changed, adopted, and the gift of small determination, and then there will be the gift of big determination, I came to ask what you mean. ”
"Aunt Fu, you came to me, but is there something wrong?" Xie Fanghua opened his eyes and asked.
Aunt Fu sighed and said worriedly, "What a good person Li Gongzi is, it's a pity." After the words fell, she walked closer, "The second son of Zheng has not healed your injury yet!" If you marry him, how will you two get along in the future? ”
"The holy decree has been issued, and if you don't marry, you will be disrespectful to the decree." Yan Chen said.
It wasn't until Aunt Fu came in a hurry that the silence was broken, Aunt Fu entered the painting hall, and when she saw the three of them, she was stunned at first, and she walked over with a bitter face, "Miss, you really want to marry the second son of Zheng!" ”
For a while, although there were three people sitting in the room, it was very quiet.
At this time, there were footsteps outside, and after a while, Xie Yunlan pushed the door in, and after he came in, he glanced at the two of them first, and also walked to the table to look at the unfolded holy decree. After a few moments, he closed the decree and sat down slowly, without speaking.
Xie Fanghua nodded.
Yan Chen looked at her and smiled, "This life is very long, if you want to go to Northern Qi, you will always have the opportunity to go." ”
"I haven't seen my aunt since I was born, and although it is already the border of Northern Qi in Nameless Mountain, I haven't stepped into the land of Northern Qi." Xie Fanghua said softly, "I don't know if there will be a chance to go to Northern Qi in the future?" ”
Yan Chen was stunned.
Xie Fanghua closed his eyes again, and suddenly asked, "Yan Chen, is Northern Qi okay?" ”
"Put it to death and then live, plan and then act, be ruthless, and the means are decisive." Yan Chen put down the holy decree and sighed, "In this life, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of his palm, whether it's good or bad." ”
Xie Fanghua opened his eyes and glanced at Yan Chen, knowing who he was talking about, and didn't say anything.
Half an hour later, Yan Chen pushed open the door and walked in, and when he saw the holy decree on the table, he opened it and glanced at it, "I rarely admire anyone, but now I have to admire him." ”
Entering the room, Xie Fanghua put the holy decree on the table, lay down on the soft couch tiredly, and closed his eyes. The painter and the ink didn't dare to disturb her, and quietly went out of the room.
Seeing this, the waiter and the waiter didn't dare to ask again, and hurriedly helped her to walk to the room.
"I'm ...... Qin Zheng" Xie Fanghua's hand holding the holy decree suddenly loosened, then clenched it again, shaking his head, "Help me go back to the room." ”
"But you and the second son ...... Zheng," the two looked at her worriedly.
"One time, another time." Xie Fanghua said softly, "The emperor's condition has worsened, and he can't control Prince Ying's Mansion anymore, and he can't control the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion." But Prince Ying's mansion is surnamed Qin after all, and it is the Qin family that guards the country. Prince Ying and the emperor value their ancestors as much as the emperor. As long as Prince Ying is in one day, he will not let the country change hands. Therefore, it is more appropriate to push me to the Prince of England's mansion than not being able to kill me, and not allowing me to get out of control. ”
"But even so, why do you want to marry you and the second son of Zheng? Didn't the emperor dislike Prince Ying's Mansion and Zhongyong's Mansion the most? The two of them were still puzzled, this decree came so suddenly, almost making the impossible possible.
Xie Fanghua retracted her gaze and looked at the holy decree in her hand, cardamom's nails clenched, and she quickly pinched out the marks on the holy decree. She was silent for a long time before she smiled, "The Right Prime Minister's Mansion is an auxiliary minister that the emperor has prepared for Qin Yu a long time ago, how can it be allowed to be related to the Loyal and Yonghou Mansion?" Li Muqing can't marry me anymore. ”
"Why did the emperor suddenly give marriage again?" The waiter asked in a low voice, both very puzzled.
Still, she willingly accepted the decree of the second marriage......
Yes, Li Muqing is really good!
When Li Muqing stepped forward, the two of them had already stepped aside, and now seeing him gone, the two stepped forward to support Xie Fanghua, their eyes were red, "Miss, Li Gongzi is so good......"
Xie Fanghua looked at his back, his back was straight, like the green bamboo in his back garden, leaving step by step, walking slowly, but never looking back. The smile on the corner of her mouth slowly retracted, her lips pursed slightly, and she didn't move for a long time after his figure disappeared.
Li Muqing put away the handkerchief, looked at her intently for a moment, and then, without saying more, slowly turned around and left Begonia Garden.
Xie Fanghua couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed.
Li Muqing slowly let go of her, took out a handkerchief, gently wiped her tears, smiled, and quipped, "Look at you, what else do you say about cold feelings and coldness, obviously the softest temperament, I have two good words, and you will be moved." If you are like this, I can't help but coax you with good words in this life, even if you marry Qin Zheng, if I marry an unsatisfactory daughter-in-law in the future, I will run to your house to eat, drink, and live, even if he has a black face, he may not be able to beat me away. ”
After a while, her tears wet Li Muqing's clothes.
Nothing to repay, no to ask for anything in return, is the most uncomfortable.
Xie Fanghua was not an emotional person, and when she visited Qinghu that day, Li Muqing's words just reached her heart, and she didn't annoy him. But today, under his words, he finally succeeded in making her burst into tears, choking up and unable to say a word.
Li Muqing looked at her, his eyes were a little damp, and after a while, he finally stepped forward, gently hugged her in his arms, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I won't have a chance to hug you in the future, let me hug you again!" It is said that brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes. But a person with a good face, even if he breaks his hands and feet, can't be naked without clothes, right? In the future, if Qin Zheng dares to hurt you again, no matter what his purpose is, I will not spare him. I won't leave my hometown like Yanting, go far away from the world, and be sad alone. I will enter the court and stay in the court. When the son can't protect you, there is still me. I don't want you to be a brother, and I don't want you to be a sister. You have a brother and I have a sister. I'll use the shield you can use, and whoever it is, you can use me to block it. ”
Xie Fanghua raised his head and sighed lightly, "Li Muqing, you are very good, you will marry a woman who is ten times better than me, and treat you as one." ”
"Yesterday when I sent you back, I thought, I invited you to visit the yard where I was born, the place where I lived in ordinary life. Even if I can't marry you today, on this day, the woman I like will accompany me for a day in the place where I live, and I have no regrets. Li Muqing looked at her, "Look at you, isn't your heart as soft as water?" Did everything you could, gave me what you could. Who wouldn't love a woman like you? Even if I can't ask for it, I don't regret it when I am brought up in the future, and I add talk and fun after dinner. ”
Xie Fanghua lowered his head.
Li Muqing smiled, "If you don't know people who are not familiar with you, you are indeed cold-hearted, but you are the most soft-hearted person who is familiar with you." After a pause, he spread his hands, "Look, for example, you don't like me very much, but thinking of my love for you, you don't want to hurt me, you know in your heart that we can't get married, but you still accompany me for two days according to the good memories I want to create." Especially yesterday, I will remember it for the rest of my life. ”
Xie Fanghua shook his head, "It's not as good as you say, I'm actually cold-hearted, stubborn and admitting death, and I don't hit the south wall and don't look back." ”
"If you don't think you're good, it's more valuable. You seem to be wearing a mask, but in fact you don't have a mask, how obvious and dazzling it is that you maintain the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion and carry the burden of the family on your shoulders as a faith. From you, you can see a lot of things that others don't have. is obviously bound by the rules of the family, but there is a kind of spontaneous and casual behavior when sitting or standing. Li Muqing looked at her with a smile, "When I don't understand, I am just attracted by your differences, and after I understand, I can't take my eyes off it." ”
Xie Fanghua looked at him and listened quietly.
Li Muqing finally shook her head with a shallow smile, as if she wanted to reach out and pull up her messy hair, but in the end, she stretched out her hand halfway and put it away, and said softly, "You are different from everyone in the capital, and these daughters' families in Beijing seem to be carved out of a mold." Including my sister, the long-term etiquette has made her lose her temperament, and she is only trapped in the boudoir world, no matter how smart she is, she only pretends to be a child in her eyes. You may not know how compelling it is that even if you don't do anything, you can make a difference. Although you can't make everyone like you, it is the beginning of liking you. ”
Xie Fanghua looked at him, "Actually, I'm not good at all, how can I deserve your affection." ”
After saying nothing all the way, back to Begonia Garden, Li Muqing stopped at the door and said in a low voice, "Although I think that if I ask to marry you, there is a chance that it will not be successful, but I still did it without hesitation." At least I did, and I have no regrets. ”
Li Muqing nodded.
It seemed that it took a long time before Xie Fanghua spoke, "How about you send me back?" ”
The two of them did not speak for a moment, and stood quietly.
After a while, Xie Fanghua and Li Muqing were left at the door, as well as the paintings and inks supporting Xie Fanghua.
The people dispersed, and gathered together in twos and threes, saying the two holy decrees for today.
The right minister and Lord Wang naturally couldn't just leave, and under the humility of the Marquis of Zhongyong, they entered the mansion.
"Good, good boy!" Marquis Zhongyong patted him on the shoulder again, turned around and invited the right minister, Lord Wang, and Gonggong Wu to enter the mansion.
Li Muqing lowered his head, gloomy but calm, "It's Muqing who is not blessed, grandpa doesn't dislike it, you have to value it, even if the marriage doesn't work out, I won't treat myself as an outsider to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion." ”
Marquis Zhongyong patted Li Muqing on the shoulder, "Li boy, if you don't dislike it, even if you call me grandpa in the future, Hua Yatou is not blessed to marry you, and you can marry someone ten times better than her in the future." ”
The right minister glanced at Li Muqing, in the end, it was the father, although the daughter pointed out a good family matter, but who will remedy the son's marriage? But he didn't dare to show it, so he could only say, "It's the dog who is not blessed to marry Miss Fanghua." ”
Marquis Zhongyong sighed and said to Youxiang, "I really value your kid, but unfortunately, I am only a granddaughter." ”
"Congratulations to the old marquis, congratulations to the master." Lord Wang also pulled out of the depressed atmosphere just now, and said hello to the two with a smile.
The emperor can be regarded as making up for the loss of today's second marriage to the right prime minister's mansion, no one can say anything, on the contrary, he will envy the right minister's mansion to get this wealth.
As long as Nanqin has eyes and ears, everyone knows that even if the three princes and the five princes are in charge of the dynasty now, they are no match for the limelight, but they are no match for the fourth prince Qin Yu. The person who can inherit the unification in the future is none other than the four princes. Li Rubi's marriage to Qin Yu undoubtedly pushed the glory of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to a new peak. Once Qin Yu ascends the throne, the fourth princess who is the main concubine will be the queen of the main palace, and the mother will be the world.
The emperor also gave a jujube in the face, which disturbed Li Muqing's marriage, but gave Li Rubi to Qin Yu.
The right minister woke up and hurriedly took the holy decree, "Old minister, thank you Lord Longen!" ”
Wu Quan read this holy decree this time than the holy decree just now, and after reading it, he saw that the right minister was stunned, and said with a smile, "Xiangye, take the decree!" After drinking the happy tea of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, the miscellaneous family will go to the Xiangfu with you later to ask for a cup of happy tea. ”
The crowd was shocked again.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: There is a right prime minister's lady Li Rubi, gentle temperament, both talent and appearance, dignified and reasonable, quite a lady's demeanor, I have four sons Qin Yu, full of talent, outstanding appearance, is a model of a number of princes. Today, Li Rubi hereby marries the fourth prince Qin Yu as a concubine. Get married in three months! Chin this! ”
Wu Quan nodded, took out the second holy decree, and read it:
Right Xiang stabilized his mind, glanced at his son, and then at the holy decree in Xie Fanghua's hand, and said, "Since you are here, let's read it here!" ”
Wu Quan finally smiled, then turned around and said to the right minister, "Xiangye, here is the holy decree of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, is the miscellaneous family reading it here, or will you go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion with you?" ”
Xie Fanghua was injured and it was inconvenient to make a big salute, so he bowed his head and thanked him, "Xie Fanghua thanks the emperor for his grace!" There is Lao Gonggong! ”
Wu Quan hurriedly handed her the holy decree.
Xie Fanghua lowered his head and stretched out his hand, "Then my father-in-law will give me the holy decree!" ”
Wu Quan hurriedly shook his head, "Where can it!" Late yesterday night, the emperor sent a message to the second prince of Zheng to talk about the matter, and the second prince of Zheng did not object, and now that the holy decree has passed, the second prince of Zheng will definitely accept it. ”
"Qin Zheng won't refuse to accept the order, right?" Xie Fanghua asked again.
"Back to Miss Fanghua, the emperor has sent someone to the Xishan military camp to deliver the decree! The holy decree of Prince Ying's Mansion was sent to the Xishan military camp to the second prince of Zheng. Wu Quan looked at her and said, "The guards in the palace are neater than the Zajia family, and the holy decree is the first to leave the palace, and it is estimated that it should be in the hands of the second prince of Zheng at this time." ”
Xie Fanghua was helped by the waiter painting and the waiter Mo to step forward, she looked at Wu Quan and said, "Should Prince Ying's Mansion also have such a holy decree?" ”
The crowd with different expressions was broken by this sound and came back to their senses.
After Wu Quan finished reading the decree, when he saw everyone's expressions, he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, coughed, and said very kindly, "Miss Fanghua, come forward to accept the decree!" ”
For a while, after the holy decree was read, the black at the gate pressed a group of people, and it was silent.
Xie Fanghua also looked at the holy decree of Ming Huang, the painting and ink helped her to stand, those words drifted into her ears, she was not allowed to divorce her wife, and she was married within three months, her face was a little trance.
Li Muqing pursed his lips tightly, looking at the Ming Huang Holy Decree in Wu Quan's hand, his eyes were dim, but his face was strangely calm.
It is really unheard of in ancient times to set an ancient precedent for granting marriage, repenting of marriage, and taking back the holy decree, and then making a holy decree again. Even the loyal and brave marquis, who had lived all his life, was stunned in the local area, and the right minister and Lord Wang had been in the court for most of their lives, as if they had only met the current emperor for the first time, and they were amazed.
No one expected that the emperor would issue such a holy decree today.
As soon as the decree was announced, the whole hall was shocked.
