Volume 1: Da Chu Chapter 39: Congratulations
Zhong Luo Luo covered her face with a thin veil as she had met for the first time, and a pair of elf-like eyes were exposed, and she glanced at the Third Prince, and it was that glance that reminded her of the words of the Third Prince who stopped him for his guilt in front of everyone last night.
Zhongquan frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with his daughter's eyes looking at the third prince, and he coughed lightly and interrupted: "Luo'er, as long as you don't want to, your father will never force you!" ”
As he spoke, he kept hinting at Zhong Luoluo with his eyes, as long as she made an unwilling move, he would immediately reject the third prince on the spot!
The third prince was not in a hurry, with the usual gentle temperament of the royal family on his face, he looked at her with warm eyes: "Luo Luo, it's okay, if you are not prepared, I can go and ask my father to withdraw his will now!" ”
He didn't call himself "the main hall", he used the word "I" to mean that he and Zhongluo were put in the same position, coupled with those gentle eyes that can fascinate people, I'm afraid that even a woman can't help but indulge in it.
Luo Luo Luo blushed at the fiery eyes of the third prince, she lowered her eyelids and did not dare to look at him again, and did not speak for a long time, as if she was seriously considering.
Neither of them spoke, so they stood dryly, you look at me, I look at you, and waited quietly for Zhong Luoluo's answer.
The atmosphere suddenly became delicate, and I don't know how long it took, Zhong Luoluo finally raised his head, with firmness in his eyes: "Father, daughter has decided, marry!" ”
With a "boom", the word "marry" hit Zhong Quan's heart like a muffled thunder, he was stunned, and then smiled bitterly.
"Third Highness, you won, okay, you go down first!"
After saying that, Zhong Quan turned around and stopped looking at them, and Zhong Luo Luo was a little worried, worried that her decision would hinder her father's big plan, which would make her suddenly regret it in her heart.
"Father, daughter......" Zhong Luo Luo opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
Zhongquan turned around, touched her head with affection in desperation, and said with a loving look from his father: "When did your father not agree to your request?" Go ahead, go for a walk with the Third Highness. ”
Zhong Luoluo looked at her father carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that there was nothing wrong, turned her head and smiled gently at the third prince, and made a gesture of invitation to invite him to visit his homeland.
Looking at the appearance of these two people, I think that their marriage is basically a certainty, and it can't be changed.
On the same day, Emperor Chu personally ordered the second lady of the final prime minister, Zhong Luoluo, to marry the third prince Chu Mo, and complete the wedding ceremony after March, and the queen personally handled it.
All the forces were surprised and incredulous when they received this news, especially the crown prince, who felt the threat from his third brother for the first time when the news of the marriage was released!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the big thing is not good, the emperor actually ️ gave marriage to the third highness and the prime minister!" In the prince's east palace, a middle-aged man in a panic ran outside the main hall.
Chu Ying was sitting on his crown throne with his forehead on his face at the moment, with a headache on his face, obviously he already knew about it.
"Xu Shangshu, this palace already knows about this matter, and the decree of marriage has been issued, and it is too late for this palace to do something." Chu Ying held his forehead and said weakly, he didn't expect the third brother's movements to be so fast, and he made a marriage with the final family without realizing it!
He knows very well how powerful the final power is, at least two-thirds of the people in the court are the people of the final power, and the real power of the final power is sometimes not even comparable to him, the crown prince, which may be the saddest place of the Great Chu royal family.
Now that Zhongquan has a new connection with Chu Mo, for Chu Mo, his power can be said to be close to himself, the prince of the East Palace!
Seeing that the prince's face was wrong, several people in the palace lowered their heads and carefully analyzed the situation in front of them.
Xu Shangshu Xu Wenguang is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Sixth Department of the Imperial Court, he thought about it and proposed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister thinks, there may be other meanings in this marriage!" ”
"Huh?" The prince questioned, glanced at him, and said bluntly: "Xu Shangshu has something to say. ”
Xu Wenguang thought about it for a while, and said in detail what he had just analyzed: "The old minister thinks that the matter of giving marriage has other meanings in the emperor's heart, for example, using the Third Highness to control the final prime minister, after all, the final Luo Luo is still a very favored daughter in the final prime minister!" ”
Hearing this, several people in the hall were secretly shocked, and they were shocked that if Xu Wenguang's words just now were listened to by other interested people, it would be over, this is an unauthorized speculation of the holy will, which is very disrespectful!
The prince didn't care if Xu Wenguang was disrespectful, he thought about it again after listening to Xu Wenguang's words, and found that there might really be a father in this whole thing!
At the beginning, there were three daughters in the house of the prime minister, and the eldest daughter was a sick man, who was sent to Ci'an Zhai in the north of the city when she was less than a year old and adopted by a nun.
The second daughter is Zhong Luoluo, who has been extremely smart since she was a child, three years old at the piano, four years old at the dance, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also the most satisfied and favorite daughter of the final power.
There is also a fourth lady, I heard that it is called Zhongqing, not long ago, the prime minister of the country released the news that the fourth miss was gone, and she was buried hastily, and she didn't even do a funeral.
The eldest lady and the second lady are from the belly of the wife of the successive rooms of the final country, and I heard that the final power is also an infatuation, for his stepwife, he has no concubine room, and has been raising eyebrows with his wife, which has always been the people's after-dinner conversation, and they all say that the prime minister of the final country and the wife of the final family are enviable fairy couples!
It's not for nothing that Zhongquan loves Zhongluoluo so much, the eldest daughter is born outside, and there is only such a caring and lovely person in the family, who does not spoil her?
If the father and emperor give the final Luo Luo to marry the third brother, it will be equivalent to holding the final power's heart in the palm of his hand, and what the final power wants to do in the future will definitely take into account the feelings of the final Luoluo!
"Wonderful...... However, this is not good for the palace, if the third brother is allowed to get the help of the prime minister of the final country, wouldn't it be more difficult for the palace to deal with him in the future?! Chu Ying was annoyed, the marriage was still doing more harm than good!
"It's useless to get to this point, there are still three months before the wedding, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to make plans early!" Xu Wenguang said that at this point, this matter has been decided, and unless the three princes have their brains pumped to resist the decree, there is no way to stop it.
This is also the biggest headache for Chu Ying now, for no reason Chu Mo got such a good help, which can be described as a heavy blow to him, the prince!
"By the way, you said that King Duan, does this palace need to be wooed?" The prince suddenly thought of Duan Yi in frustration, although Duan Yi was his king, his influence in Da Chu was not weak, if he could win him over to help, then the confrontation between him and Chu Mo would be easier.
"This ...... Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forget that he also sent an eyeliner of final power in a few months ago, if he wants to win over King Duan at this moment, it will definitely not be easy! Xu Wenguang reminded him.
Only then did Chu Ying remember that in order to quietly solve the thorn in his eye, he still personally sent people into Duan Wang's mansion!
"That's it, this matter is still being discussed, you should step back first." Chu Ying rubbed his somewhat swollen forehead, and waved his hand weakly to make them retreat.
…………
Regarding the matter of giving marriage, it was well known to the individuals in the capital of Dachu in less than a morning, and the threshold of the three princes' families was about to be broken, and they all came to say hello with congratulatory gifts.
Duan Yi also came with Zhong Qing, and they each rode a horse to the gate of the Three Princes' Mansion, and a street outside the Mansion was full of carriages and horses, and it seemed that the Three Princes' Mansion would be lively.
"The two of you are Duan Wang Ye and Qin Gongzi?" As soon as the little guy at the door saw them coming, he respectfully stepped forward and asked a question.
The two of them both dismounted, and finally Qing replied: "Exactly." ”
The little servant stepped forward and took the initiative to lead their horses and tied them up, and said, "Your Royal Highness has been waiting for the two of you for a long time, please come inside!" ”
The little servant walked in front to lead the way for the two of them, the mansion of the third prince is not far from the palace, and the scale here is larger than the mansion of ordinary princes.
"Oh, rare guest, King Duan, Prince Qin!" Chu Mo was toasting with a person, and when they saw Duan Yi coming not far away, they hurriedly walked over to say hello.
This kind of scene is usually dealt with by the final qing, she saluted politely towards Chu Mo, and congratulated: "The Third Highness is also full of spring breeze now, I specially came to say hello to His Highness." ”
Chu Mo helped her and waved his hand modestly: "Don't worry, you will definitely have a cup of happy wine to drink at that time!" ”
The marriage was made possible thanks to the help of the two of them, Chu Mo was still very grateful to them in his heart at the moment, and he almost subconsciously brought Duan Yi to his side.
"Come on, come on, please come inside, the main hall specially invited the chef of the Spring Breeze Ruyi Building to make a banquet, and this will be almost done!" As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation and invited them to sit on the high platform of the main hall.
In addition to Duan Yi and the two of them on the high platform, there were many scattered guests, and Zhongqing only knew a few familiar people, thinking that it was because the third prince and Zhongquan had a relationship, and they all wanted to come and get a piece of the pie.
Not long after the two of them sat down, a shout suddenly came from the door!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
As the voice fell, Prince Chu Ying walked in wearing a moon-white four-clawed python robe.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" All the people in the temple spoke in unison.
"You're polite!" Chu Ying smiled politely, raised his hand to let them up, and then walked towards Chu Mo and gave a large box of congratulatory gifts.
"The third brother is overjoyed, this palace is uninvited as the imperial brother, and the third brother must not be blamed." Chu Ying waved his hand, and the person behind him placed a box of congratulatory gifts in front of him.
Chu Mo smiled modestly and arched his hand: "Where did the prince say, did he say that he was the younger brother, he actually neglected the prince, and hoped to atone for his sins." ”
The two of you are hypocritical and polite, and the final Qing is amazed, this person from the Great Chu royal family is really more capable than the other!
After Chu Mo and Chu Ying finished their polite exchanges, Chu Mo invited the prince to take a seat again, and at this time, all the dishes in Chunfeng Ruyi Building were ready, and a table was distributed on everyone's table.
The chef's skills in Chunfeng Ruyi Building are similar to those of the royal chef, and they are the favorite of those officials and wealthy people, because they can't eat the dishes made by the imperial kitchen, so the business of Chunfeng Ruyi Lou will be so hot.
"Come, everyone eat, please bear with me if there is anything that is not well received!" Chu Mo stood up and raised a glass of wine to toast everyone, and drank it all in one gulp.
