Chapter 613: Not without guilt
As soon as Chu Nanyue came out of the palace, he saw Meng Haoyan in a hurry, he had been busy with the affairs of Huguo Temple recently, so he was extremely busy.
Chu Nanyue thought of the tenth princess who had a heart for Meng Haoyan, and just wanted to ask Meng Haoyan about the tenth princess, but suddenly thought of the person in front of him, I am afraid that he is a heartless person.
Meng Haoyan is really a heartless person, his whole heart is in the household department, and the tenth princess has repeatedly hinted that it is useless, but the tenth princess is not discouraged.
Because the more she watched Meng Haoyan once, the more she felt that Chen Ning was too ordinary, not to mention that Chen Ning's official position came down a few days ago, and she happened to be a household servant, and she was even more unwilling to do things under Meng Haoyan.
The emperor had long seen the reluctance in her heart, so she had been snubbed in the past few days, but she was not smart, she couldn't see what the emperor was thinking, she only knew that she didn't seem to marry Chen Ning, so she took the initiative to come to the emperor every day.
"Father, the household secretary has not married a wife, why don't you let the household department secretary be a concubine?" One day, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and directly told the emperor what she was thinking.
Who knew that the emperor's face turned cold when he heard this, then even if Meng Haoyan was good, he was also promoted by Donglin Shuo, if he married the tenth princess to Meng Haoyan, wouldn't it boost the momentum of Chu Nanyue's side even more?
"Don't even think about it!" The emperor said angrily, the tenth princess was really aggrieved in her heart, and she was directly angry with the emperor.
"Come on, put the tenth princess under house arrest in the Falling Snow Palace, if you don't have my order, you can't come out!" The emperor said angrily, and Gonggong Su hurriedly stepped forward to grab the tenth princess who was still wronged and said, "Tenth princess, Your Majesty is doing all this for your own good, and it is no good for you to be angry with Your Majesty." ”
Seeing that her tears were about to fall, the emperor was even more irritable in his heart, and gave Father-in-law Su a look, and Gonggong Su pulled the tenth princess away: "Tenth princess, you just listen to the old slave!" ”
The tenth princess still wanted to speak, so Gonggong Su said: "Even if you are angry here, you can't change the result, it's better to marry happily, then Chen Ning is quite talented, and His Majesty is still very appreciative, in the long run, his official position will not be much lower than that of Lord Meng." ”
Father-in-law Su can be regarded as a bitter woman, but the tenth princess seems to only want Meng Haoyan, and even Father-in-law Su began to be angry.
Here, Gonggong Su had already pulled the tenth princess to the Falling Snow Palace, and when he saw that she was really stubborn, he had to sigh and leave by himself.
The tenth princess did not stop in the palace, she couldn't understand why Meng Haoyan had no feelings for herself, and she refused her invitation many times, at this time, the palace maid beside her said: "Xu is Lord Meng is sluggish, or he is focused on the affairs of the court, the slave maid heard that if some men don't talk about it, they don't understand what you mean." ”
She remembered Meng Haoyan's appearance on weekdays, and she even felt that what this palace maid said made sense, so she hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?" ”
"Then it's better to write a letter directly to Lord Meng to express your intentions, this is the last chance for the princess, if you can't grasp it anymore, you can only marry Lord Chen." The little palace maid proposed that she was actually the queen's person, and knew that Meng Haoyan would definitely not like the tenth princess, so she said so.
After hearing this, the tenth princess also felt very reasonable, so she blushed, asked the palace maid to take out the letter paper, wrote a bold and loving letter, and told the palace maid to be handed over to Meng Haoyan.
Chu Nanyue has really had nothing to do in the past few days, and she actually started to be a matchmaker, she thought about which girl could be worthy of Zhou Yuanqi, and which girl was worthy of Meng Haoyan, and she thought it was very interesting.
On this day, she and Meng Haoyan were walking on the way out of the palace together, and happened to talk about Meng Haoyan's marriage, so she smiled and said: "Lord Meng is now twenty-six, it's time to get married." ”
Meng Haoyan smiled bitterly: "Like Xiaguan, who is bent on either repairing water conservancy or calculating taxes, it is better not to delay other people's girls." ”
Chu Nanyue disagreed: "There are always girls who are willing to think about this every day with you." ”
But he obviously didn't believe it: "Two hundred years after the founding of Tanglin, there was only one Chu general." ”
His meaning was obvious, but Chu Nanyue didn't argue with him anymore, and it just so happened that at this time, a palace maid came over, carefully handed over a letter in her hand to Meng Haoyan, and said, "This is what the tenth princess asked the slave to hand over to Lord Meng." ”
Chu Nanyue laughed and said, "Isn't Lord Meng's good fate coming?" ”
At this time, Chen Ning happened to pass by, Meng Haoyan naturally knew the emperor's thoughts, so he said to Chen Ning: "Lord Chen is joking, Your Majesty obviously wants Lord Chen to be a concubine." ”
Chen Ning remembered the ten princesses who came to his house to tempt him that day, and the ten princesses obviously looked down on him, so he said: "The lower officials are not worthy of the ten princesses." ”
As soon as Meng Haoyan wanted to speak, Chu Nanyue smiled and said, "There is still a rouge smell on the envelope of these ten princesses." ”
He was immediately very embarrassed, and anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on, and it was impossible for him to pretend to be confused, so he said to Chu Nanyue: "Please also ask the princess to tell the tenth princess in person, it is really impossible for the lower officials to be with the tenth princess." ”
"There are some things that still have to be said by Lord Meng himself." She remembered the expression of the tenth princess facing her before, that expression was obviously disgusted, and her words were likely to backfire.
Meng Haoyan was helpless, so he had to decide to wait until he returned home to write a letter to the tenth princess.
"Lord Meng's marriage is not in a hurry, but General Zhou's marriage should be in a hurry." As soon as Dongling Shuo spoke, Chu Nanyue glanced at him, how could she not know that Dongling Shuo still cared about her and Zhou Yuanqi's affairs?
"The marriage of the last general will not bother the prince, and in a few days, the last general will ask His Majesty for his order to go to the border to guard the frontier." Zhou Yuanqi had been beside him all the time, and he also knew that Dongling Shuo's words were for him, so he stood up and spoke.
"There is a daughter in the Changping Hou family, who has loved dancing and playing swords since she was a child, and she is unruly, just enough to guard the frontier with General Zhou." Tanglin Shuo opened his mouth, and even the candidates had already been chosen.
"Thank you for the prince's kindness, but the last general no longer has those children in his heart." Zhou Yuanqi glanced at Tanglin Shuo lightly and expressed his intentions.
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two was getting stronger and stronger, Chu Nanyue said: "General Zhou's marriage still depends on whether General Zhou himself likes it. ”
"The last general's heart is not here, and I ask the prince and princess not to bother the last general." When Zhou Yuanqi opened his mouth, he was already a little angry inside, and he raised his legs and left quickly.
Chu Nanyue sighed at Zhou Yuanqi's back, she was not without guilt in her heart for this good brother who was born and died.
