Chapter 235: Marriage
Since leaving the house, that feeling has been haunting his heart for a long time, Ning Zhao originally thought that he was touching the scene and was disturbed by the events of his previous life, but at this moment he realized that something was wrong.
"Madam, don't think about it, the fourth princess is drunk." A soft voice sounded in his ears, and Ning Zhao raised his eyes to meet the gentle and smiling eyes of the county lord of Shangyue.
Ning Zhao pulled out a smile, nodded, and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." ”
Hearing Ning Zhao say this, the county lord of Zhuyue looked at her for a while, and didn't notice anything wrong, so he put his mind at ease, stretched out his hand and led Ning Zhao to sit down, and the county lord of Zhuyue opened the topic and told Ning Zhao about the interesting story of Tingzhou.
At the same time, on the other side of the opposite ear of the lake, the ministers were in high spirits, and the old emperor was also in a good mood today, so he drank two more glasses, put down the wine glass, and the old emperor's eyes swept around the ministers, and then fell on Jin Yuan.
Feeling the gaze cast on the high platform, Jin Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the old emperor's smiling eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned, then got up, picked up the wine glass, raised it to the old emperor, and said with a smile: "Seeing Your Majesty's pleasure, Weichen respects Your Majesty a glass, and wishes Your Majesty a healthy dragon." ”
After saying that, Jin Yuan raised his head and finished drinking, the old emperor's smile deepened, and he took a sip of the wine glass.
Jin Yuan was about to sit down, but was stopped by the old emperor, Jin Yuan looked at it suspiciously, the old emperor smiled, put down the wine glass, looked at Jin Yuan, and swept the crowd again, and then said: "Take advantage of today's chrysanthemum banquet, I have something I want to ask Lord Jin's opinion." ”
The old emperor, as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, when did he need to ask for the opinions of others, at this time, the discerning person knew that it was not a solicitation, but an announcement.
"Wechen doesn't dare." Jin Yuan bowed slightly, bowed his hand respectfully to the old emperor, and said with a smile: "Although the emperor commands, it is." ”
"Very good." The old emperor stroked his beard, and did not continue to sell Guanzi, so he said: "I always feel that I have lost money in the matter of Daxing, and Lord Jin almost lost his life for the imperial court, but it is not something that can be erased by those gold and silver money.
I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I finally came up with a good solution, which not only smooths the debt of my heart, but also further closes the relationship between Lord Jin and me. ”
As soon as these words came out, the four of them fell silent.
The old emperor's words couldn't help but make people think about it, everyone's eyes looked at Jin Yuan, Murong Cheng also looked at Jin Yuan, and his face showed the meaning of the previous one again.
Jin Yuan's heart jumped, and he was a little uneasy for no reason, but his face was indifferent, he looked at the old emperor with a smile, and said: "As an official of the imperial court, Weichen eats the king's Lu and bears the king's worries, this is a matter of duty, and the emperor does not need to worry about it. ”
"Moreover, the emperor has already rewarded the micro-ministers, and the micro-ministers are satisfied, so why did the emperor say this." Jin Yuan said.
"Huh......" The old emperor raised his hand, fell back on the wine glass, and said with a smile: "The rewards and punishments are clear, it is not good to be too light or too heavy, the previous reward is only a part, and today is the main thing." ”
Jin Yuan had a premonition and did not answer.
The old emperor didn't want Jin Yuan to say anything, and finished his words by himself, "The fourth princess Murong Jiao is my only unmarried daughter now, and she is the youngest daughter of the queen and me. ”
Everyone didn't understand why the old emperor would mention the fourth princess Murong Jiao at this moment, but the uneasiness in Jin Yuan's heart was getting bigger and bigger, and he always felt that something tricky was about to happen.
Sure enough.
I only heard the old emperor say next: "Recently, the fourth princess has admired Lord Jin for a long time, but I don't know, but now that I know, there is another fourth princess who asked in person, and I decided to give the fourth princess Murong Jiao to Lord Jin." ”
When the words fell, Jin Yuan raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of shock, and then he looked deeply at the old emperor, and said: "The emperor has received the kindness of Weichen, but Weichen has just gotten married, and it was given by the emperor, how precious the fourth princess is, how can she ...... with other women?"
Before Jin Yuan finished speaking, Murong Cheng interrupted him and said to Jin Yuan with a smile: "What's this, the imperial sister also talked about this matter with this palace before, but this palace didn't take it seriously at the time, I didn't expect this girl to be so persistent." ”
Murong Cheng turned his head to look at the old emperor, bowed his hand respectfully, and said with a smile: "Father, the imperial sister found me before and told me that she had admired Lord Jin for a long time, and as long as she could marry Lord Jin, she didn't mind being on an equal footing with Mrs. Jin." ”
Everyone in the audience was shocked, and after a while, whispers sounded, whether jealous or envious, or even indignant, they all looked at Jin Yuan, waiting for him to answer.
Murong Ji was the one who was filled with righteous indignation.
He admired Ning Zhao and admired her very much in his heart, but after the autumn hunt, Ning Zhao suddenly had a marriage contract with Jin Yuan, and he also had an unpleasant relationship with Ning Zhao and Jin Yuan because of this matter.
This time, when he heard that the old emperor was going to give Jin Yuan a marriage again, it was his arrogant fourth sister, and Murong Ji only thought about what would happen to Ning Zhao when he found out.
Would a strong woman like her be sad?
"Heh......" The old emperor listened to Murong Cheng's words, shook his head helplessly and chuckled, and said: "This girl has been like this since she was a child, and she must get what she believes, hey, she is spoiled by me." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Jin Yuan again, and saw that Jin Yuan had been hanging his head, and couldn't help asking, "What is Lord Jin's opinion on the big wedding?" The fourth princess likes you, and I recruited you to be a colt, which can be regarded as a two-phase fulfillment, and double happiness is coming. ”
"Your Majesty, no!" Jin Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth.
He raised his head and looked straight at the old emperor, his eyes were firm, and he said: "Weichen has just been newly married, and there is a good wife in the family, although the fourth princess doesn't care about the name, but Weichen cares." ”
Wei Chen was deeply worried, afraid of delaying the four princesses, how could the four princesses be the lady of the sky, how could they serve a husband with others? This is really a grievance to see the princess! ”
Hearing this, the old emperor's smile gradually retracted, and his face was a little pale, Murong Cheng looked at Jin Yuan when he saw this, and said with good intentions: "Father and Emperor promised the fourth princess to Lord Jin, this is a blessing for Lord Jin, Lord Jin is not in a hurry to thank him." ”
Jin Yuan was unmoved, the old emperor's face sank directly, and he glanced at the other ministers, not wanting to ruin everyone's interest because of this matter, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "This matter will be discussed later." ”
The old emperor didn't want to say more, and Jin Yuan didn't want this matter to be mentioned, so he obediently returned to his seat and sat down.
The old emperor's face was not good, and everyone didn't dare to speak, Murong Ji snorted when he saw this, pointed to the other side of the lake, and said with a smile: "I saw that there were songs and dances on the side of the female relatives before. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the Ministry of Rites and asked, "Master Kong, I wonder if we have that eye blessing and appreciate it too?" ”
Kong Pingshan has been an official for many years, and he knew that Murong Ji was trying to ease the atmosphere, so he immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, I have already asked Yuefu to be ready, come here." ”
The waiter stepped forward, Kong Pingshan asked people to summon the servants to come up, and after a while, the servants appeared on the stage, the sound of silk and bamboo was long and long, the stiff atmosphere was diluted instantly, the sound of wine glasses colliding occasionally sounded, and from time to time accompanied by laughter, the atmosphere quickly eased down.
