416 Recruitment
Halfway through, she became more and more unwilling, she was counting on Han Ji to live all her life, how could she let Han Ji have a woman with a strong background as his wife? If she didn't have Mama Ning's care and E's love, then it would be fine, she didn't dare to be presumptuous enough to interfere in her master's family affairs, but now that she has these conditions, how can she not fight for herself?
Even if she can't directly make Shen Yan marry into the Chu Palace, she must try her best to prevent Shen Yan from marrying into the Han family!
She stopped and thought about it under the railing, looked up at the direction of the Hidden Moon Tower, gritted her teeth, raised her feet and went forward, towards the garden on the east road.
The emperor had already moved to the Imperial Garden, which was the place where he and his close ministers walked and talked, Han Ji was in the garden for a while, and then he looked at the empty space and went to the East Road Garden where Xue stopped them. As soon as he entered the door, he picked a secluded and uninhabited corner, and said to Xin Yi: "Find a way to let Tao Xing and them see people, the one on duty in the forbidden army today is Captain Liu Meng, this person is addicted to alcohol, you go and take care of it." ”
Xin Yi nodded, and said, "I'm afraid that the periphery will have to be answered by the young master." ”
Han Ji looked around and said, "I will invite the Moon Palace to take it with me in Bilan Palace, and give a signal when there is anything." If it's safe, you don't have to report it to me in the middle of the way, so as not to attract attention. ”
Xin Yi said yes, looked into the distance, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he walked out again.
When Biqin arrived at the gate of the East Garden, she found a familiar little eunuch and smiled: "Little father-in-law, dare to ask if the prince of Wei is in the garden?" ”
The little eunuch looked at her clothes and recognized her as the girl with a face beside the E. family. Busy said: "The prince has just entered. ”
Biqin glanced into the door and couldn't see Han Ji's figure, so she took out a piece of broken silver from her purse and stuffed it to him, and said with a smile: "I'm tired of my little father-in-law to help me pass on a message, just say that the king of Chu is waiting for the master to eat tea in the Hidden Moon Building, and invite him to come over at this time." ”
The little eunuch had a humble status, so he dared to delve into his meaning, and immediately entered the door.
Xiuqin pursed her lips and watched him enter the door, and then retreated to stand behind the pillars.
Concubine Shu brought Shen Yan to the Hidden Moon Tower to give the King of Chu a chance to be alone with her, since Han Ji was sincere to Shen Yan. She didn't believe it, and when he broke into the Hidden Moon Tower, he saw the King of Chu and Shen Yan alone together. Will you not be angry? As long as Han Ji gets angry on the spot, then he will not only have a conflict with Shen Yan, but also offend the King of Chu, and at that time, the E family will bring out Concubine Shu to exert pressure. Even if Han Ji sued Wei Guogong, it was useless!
If he doesn't get angry on the spot. That's even better. Then Shen Yan didn't even have a chance to explain to him, wouldn't it be even more painful?
She was under the porch, waiting for Han Ji to rush out.
Here Han Ji said two words to Xue Zhi. The little eunuch came in and told him that the king of Chu was invited. Han Ji looked at him and asked, "Who asked people to pass the word?" "There is no one around the King of Chu, how could he send a eunuch to invite him?
The little eunuch said truthfully: "It's the maid sister next to the Duchess of Wei." ”
The people of the E family, Han Ji frowned when he heard this, and his heart was also vigilant. His private dealings with the King of Chu have never let the E family know the slightest, even after becoming the prince of the world, he has not had a more obvious relationship with the King of Chu, and the maid next to the E family asked him to meet the King of Chu, and it is obvious that there is a famous place here.
He said lightly: "Got it." ”
When the little eunuch got a reply, he came out.
On the side of the Moon Covering Tower, Shen Yan and Concubine Shu drank a round of tea, and they had already exchanged pleasantries about the arrangement of the Moon Covering Tower, and they didn't want to stay any longer, so they said: "Thank you Niangniang for the tea, if there are no other instructions, it's time for me to leave here." In the end, it is disrespectful to the emperor to do things wrongly. ”
Concubine Shu sat still, smiled and raised her head slightly: "I don't need to carry out the emperor to press me, I didn't have orders, there is something I want to show you." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at her deeply, and then beckoned the palace maid to come up with a vermilion lacquer tray.
The tray was placed on the pear wood table between the two, and Concubine Shu and the King of Chu looked at each other, and then reached out and lifted the red silk cloth covering it, revealing a famous note inside, as well as a pair of green jade jade bracelets. The post looks very much like the man's name card prepared when he first came to the door to ask for marriage, and this bracelet looks very promising.
Shen Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, and she looked at Concubine Shu: "What does Niangniang mean by this?" ”
Concubine Shu's smile remained unchanged: "I know that you have always been smart, so you will not beat around the bush." Saying that, she glanced at the King of Chu on the side, and waited for him to get up and step out of the screen before saying: "Counting the time you have known the prince is not short, the prince not only respects the character and talent of Ling Zu Lingzun, but also likes your well-behaved and sensible, and we have respected the Shen family more and more over the years."
"The prince originally started to discuss marriage last year, but because he always thought about you in his heart, he has been dragging it out. I think you two are also childhood sweethearts, and this time you entered the palace, I have been looking for a chance to talk to you, and let you know that I am very happy that the two of you can have a result. ”
After Shen Yan heard this, she only felt that the wind in her stomach was blowing like a flame in her stomach, and Concubine Shu actually took advantage of her celibacy to directly mention the marriage to her in front of her, a girl who had not left the cabinet? Is she fooling the little girl who is her little family, or is she trampling on her as someone who wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix?!
She shook her fan and said with a smile: "I'm stupid, I don't know what Niangniang is trying to say when she says so much?" ”
Concubine Shu smiled, and then smiled: "To put it simply, I like you very much, and I hope you can be my daughter-in-law." ”
Shen Yan raised her lips: "Niangniang mentioned this to me like this, do you want to be a matchmaker for your son?" ”
Concubine Shu looked at her with a slight pause: "I just want to ask for your opinion first." As long as you promise to marry the prince as a concubine, you will be the queen of the world in the future. This pair of bracelets was given to me by the emperor at the beginning, and when the emperor gave it to me, he promised to never live up to me, and the meaning of this bracelet can be described as extraordinary. Now, as a sign of sincerity, I can also pass it on to you. ”
The queen of the world? Also the broken bracelet given by the emperor himself?
Shen Yan straightened up and stood up, paced two steps forward, and said with a smile: "The words of the matchmaker of the parents' life, how can there be a reason not to find my parents first when the marriage is important?" The mother came to ask for my opinion, should I say yes or no?
"If I say yes, can I use this as an excuse to tell my father that I am interested in the prince? If I don't agree, can my mother still give me a hat that I don't know how to lift?
"And whether I agree or not, I have no place to be ashamed of myself now, because as the daughter of a dignified scholar who is self-disciplined by etiquette, but I was actually put up and down by Niangniang to the halfway up and down the mountainside, I know that Niangniang does not take us scholars seriously in her heart, and can be light in this way.
"Although my Shen family has been blessed with the emperor's love and has always been favored, and I should do my best for the royal family, this does not mean that we will not even have the face to protect this glory and wealth. I'm a good young lady, and you have trampled on a thin woman who can talk about her marriage at will, I will ask the emperor if he has made up his mind to make the king of Chu the crown prince, so the mother will hire me as the future queen?! ”
With that, she turned around and walked out.
Concubine Shu didn't expect her to have such a big temperament, so she quickly stood up and called, "Stop! ”
On such a day, if you go to the royal car to complain and complain in front of so many old ministers, then the king of Chu doesn't want to fight for any prince!
She stepped forward quickly, secretly gritting her teeth in anger, but she still smiled on her face: "Look at this girl, I'm angry when she talks about it, what do I mean-"
"What do you mean by that mother?" Shen Yan looked back at her, smiling, but her eyes were bright and cold. "Oh, I remember, you just said that I will be the queen of the world in the future. Now the emperor and queen are still very healthy, Niangniang is saying this now, I don't know if I hope that the emperor is not good or that the queen is not good? ”
Concubine Shu paused, shame and indignation mixed with self-embarrassment, and was speechless for a while.
Shen Yan has long heard of her bad looks, but she never thought that it would be so powerful! She's just the daughter of an official, and she dares to play a role in front of her as a princess, isn't she impatient?!
However, even if she is so angry in private, she is helpless, her weakness is the emperor and the future of the king of Chu, Shen Yan really wants to shake this in front of the emperor and empress, not only does she not want to find a way out for the king of Chu, but even her own future will be a problem!
The King of Chu, who was waiting for news outside the screen, saw that the palace maids were hula and gathered into the house, and hurriedly walked in. Seeing Shen Yan's condensed appearance, and then looking at the embarrassed Concubine Shu, she also knew that the matter had collapsed, so she hurriedly pretended to say to Concubine Shu: "I said that this matter is not in a hurry, the mother concubine is not in a hurry to find her because she likes Yan'er, this kind of thing is naturally discussed with the father and the emperor and then have a better idea." ”
The reason why he has never asked the emperor for marriage is because the Shen family is likely to refuse the ancestral training that does not marry the royal family, Shen Mi has always kept a considerable distance from him, and it can be seen that he does not want to have any close involvement with him, if they are not happy, then find a few elders to help make peace - at least the Fang family will help, then the emperor will not be able to overlord the bow.
So after thinking about it, she decided to go steadily, first inducing her to agree from Shen Yan's side, and then gradually convincing Shen Guanyu's father and son.
Who knew that Shen Yan would oppose it so recklessly.
Shen Yan sneered and said, "It turns out that the prince doesn't know what Niangniang means, since he doesn't know, then Niangniang is wishful thinking?" I can't even ignore it. If it is spread out that the mother directly proposes marriage to me behind the prince's back, won't I become the snob who deliberately clings to me? Isn't the prince the one who seduces the ignorant girl again?
"If I hadn't grown up with my father in recent years, I would have heard what my mother said, and I would have taken it seriously. Thinking about the almost catastrophe that almost caused a catastrophe, I am still scared now. For the sake of the reputation of the prince and the little girl, I must see this trip!
