Chapter 487: Courting for Marriage
Chen Xu twitched a few times and stood up and bowed his hand to Qin Shi Huang: "Your Majesty, the minister was drunk the night before yesterday, and he can't remember what happened after leaving the imperial dining room. ”
Qin Shi Huang nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, there is still something I want to ask Your Majesty to agree to today!" Chen Xu gave up his hand again.
"Qinghe Hou, please speak!" Qin Shi Huang nodded again with a little confusion.
"Your Majesty, please marry Princess Qingning to the minister!"
"What?" Qin Shi Huang's body was obviously crooked on the dragon chair, and his mouth couldn't be closed when he opened and closed.
And the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs were in an uproar, and the exclamations continued to sound.
However, Qin Shi Huang quickly recovered after a short gaffe, but the look of surprise on his face did not disappear completely, and he was silent for a long time with his beard and said: "Aiqing is serious? ”
"Yes, the minister is thoughtful, and he is indeed serious!" Chen Xu said respectfully.
"Can you tell me why?" Qin Shi Huang's heart was like a mess at this time, and he couldn't solve it.
He has a lot of children, there are seven or eight daughters who have not left the cabinet, and the most beautiful and favorite five princesses have just reached the age of marriage, so he has long wanted to marry this daughter to Chen Xu, and even did not hesitate to surrender his identity to go to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion to give marriage, but what he didn't expect was that he was rejected by Chen Xu, so this matter has always made him depressed, and this matter has been a household name in Xianyang, the last time Chen Xu returned to Nanyang to marry, he also clearly replied that he would marry the fifth princess after he came back, but he didn't expect that it was only a few days, Chen Xu suddenly changed his mind to marry Princess Qingning.
And it was still at this juncture, and it was in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers to ask for marriage.
Qing Ning didn't care if he married someone or who Qin Shi Huang married, after all, he was just a princess with a surname, but Chen Xu's approach obviously puzzled him.
"Your Majesty, Princess Lan Xinhui of Qingning is gentle and beautiful, and her ministers have admired her for a long time, so she has the courage to ask Your Majesty for marriage, and I hope Your Majesty will agree!" Chen Xu looked at Qin Shi Huang with a serious and serious face.
"It turns out that the Marquis of Qinghe has already chosen Princess Qingning, no wonder ......"
"Yes, I also think it's strange, the fifth princess has a gentle temperament and a dignified appearance, but the Marquis of Qinghe wants to refuse, it turns out that he has something else to ask for!"
"The identity of Princess Qingning......"
"I see, the old man was finally able to figure it out......"
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty began to whisper at this time, and many people suddenly realized that Chen Xu had long been in love with Princess Qingning, so he rejected the fifth princess.
Qin Shi Huang looked at Chen Xu, his face twitching.
Chen Xu's request can be said to make him not mentally prepared at all, and he was embarrassed, and he was depressed and a little out of breath.
This time there was silence for a few minutes, and Qin Shi Huang finally came to his senses, and his beard and eyebrows shook lightly a few times and said: "Since the Marquis of Qinghe is so sincere, I promise that this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and Zongzheng and the two servants will choose an auspicious day to prepare for the marriage as soon as possible, and after the Marquis of Qinghe returns home, he will also prepare three books and six ceremonies......
Qin Shi Huang also figured it out at this time, anyway, he wanted to marry his daughter, Chen Xu insisted on marrying Princess Qingning, and he was still courting in front of the Manchu Dynasty, no matter what, he couldn't refuse in person, this is a very wonderful relationship between the monarch and the minister, if it is not handled well, there will inevitably be some cracks between the monarch and the minister, not to mention ...... Qin Shi Huang felt that Chen Xu must have another purpose in doing this, and as for what the purpose was, he could wait to find out later.
And just after Qin Shi Huang agreed to Chen Xu's request, the two palace people standing at the door of the apse of the court hall looked at each other and turned to leave, one of them went straight to the backyard to Qingning Palace, and the other went straight to Huayu Palace.
"Did the Marquis of Qinghe really ask to marry Sister Qingning, and his father also agreed?"
Hearing the palace people's story, Ying Shiyan, who was sitting in front of the window in Huayu Palace and was concentrating on writing one stroke at a time, fell off the brush in her hand, dyeing a large piece of neatly written words black, and at the same time, her face was instantly pale, and her voice was extremely sad.
"Yes, the Marquis of Qinghe asked for a marriage in front of the Lord of the Manchu Dynasty, Your Majesty has agreed, and when I come back, Your Majesty is arranging for Lord Zhao of the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the wedding ceremony......"
"Woo woo......" Ying Shiyan couldn't hold back the grievances and helplessness in her heart anymore, covered her face and ran into the bedroom, covered her head in the quilt and cried.
In Qingning Palace, after listening to the palace people's report, Wang Qingsleeve's pale and emaciated cheeks flushed, and he asked with a little excitement: "Qinghe Marquis really said that I Lan Xinhui is gentle and beautiful?" ”
"Yes, that's what Marquis Qinghe said in front of His Majesty and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty!" The palace people quickly nodded.
Wang Qingsleeve sat in a daze for a few minutes, then stood up and instructed the maid to change into the most beautiful dress, carefully groom and dress up in the mirror, and even put a thin layer of red on the pale and bloodless face.
When the dress was over, looking at the slim and radiant Wang Qingsleeve, the two little maids happily gave Wang Qingsleeve a blessing together: "Congratulations to the princess, Princess Hexi, in the future, the two slaves and maids can also follow to the Qinghe Hou Mansion to eat delicious food every day!" ”
Wang Qingsleeve looked at the two maids who got along with him day and night, with a trace of tears in his eyes, and then examined his clothes and outfits in the bronze mirror again, opened a copper box, took out a letter, and said: "You hurry out of the palace and send this letter to the Tongwu Marquis Mansion, and you must hand it over to the general in person." ”
"Yes, princess, please rest assured, we will definitely tell the general and the marquis about this happy event!"
After receiving the letter, the two maids set off happily and left Qingning Palace in a carriage.
Wang Qingsleeve turned around and looked carefully in the room, looking at this lonely and cold dormitory, he couldn't help coughing violently again, and then spurted out a mouthful of blood and sat on the chair softly, and after a long time, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took off a short sword hanging at the head of the bed and went out, and called a few palace people to put the eunuch tied in the utility room and put it on the carriage, and then got on the car and ordered to leave for the court.
Several palace people looked at Princess Qingning, whose face was full of frost, and they were all silent, and they didn't know why the palace master sent this eunuch to the court hall, so they could only obediently leave with them.
In the Mansion of the Marquis of Tongwu, Wang Qian, who was full of messy white hair and looked terminally ill with a withered face, sat on the bed in a daze for a long time without speaking after reading the letters sent by the two little maids.
"Father, what does the letter from the sleeve say?" Wang Ben, who was dressed in a brocade robe, looked at his father with a little apprehension.
"See for yourself!" Wang Jian handed the letter in his hand to Wang Ben, then stood up and said to a few maids: "Change the old man's clothes, the old man is going to the court to meet the emperor!" ”
Soon, Wang Jian came out wearing a black brocade robe that he hadn't worn for several years, with a jade crown on his head, his hair and beard were neatly combed, and his spirit seemed to be much better.
And Wang Ben also finished reading the letter at this time, and looked at the neatly dressed father in confusion and said: "Father, it is said that Zhao Zhe planned to murder Qinghehou, but what does this matter have to do with us, we only need to inform Qinghehou of this matter, and he will deal with it, so as not to involve us."
"Alas~" Wang Jian stroked his beard with a sad face and sighed, "You only know one and don't know the other, our Wang family has long been involved......"
Up to now, Wang Jian has not hidden his son anymore, and carefully talked about the things that were involved in Zhao Zhe's affair at the beginning, and finally said with a melancholy face: "Sleeve Er clashed with Chen Xu because of Zhao Zhe's matter, and almost killed Chen Xu by mistake, but you don't know Sleeve too well, she lost her mother since she was a child, she has a withdrawn temperament, and she has always felt guilty about Chen Xu, she came to this letter to tell us that she wants to take on this matter to completely resolve that misunderstanding, Zhao Zhe must have been killed by Sleeve, and Zhao Zhe is behind Zhao Gao, Planning to deal with Chen Xu must be Zhao Gao's instructions, if she picks out Zhao Zhe's matter, Zhao Gao will inevitably be involved, didn't you hear what the two maids said, Chen Xu just went to the court to ask the emperor to marry the sleeve, this must be related to the assassin in the palace the night before, and then she took the handle to force Chen Xu, and she also resented my grandfather and your father, forcing us to help Chen Xu, there is a cause and there must be an effect, just because the old man forbears for a while, which led to today's situation, let's stop, Now, it's time for this scourge to stop! You don't have to worry about this matter, the old man will deal with it! ”
Wang Jian waved his hand out of the room and instructed the guards to prepare the carriage to go out, leaving Wang Ben alone with the letter in a daze, he never expected that there was such a complicated situation behind this matter, and he had been kept in the dark.
Above the court, the emperor had already arranged the marriage of Princess Qingning at this time.
And Zhao Gao, who was the order of the Ministry of Rites, was also depressed, his face was dark, but he didn't dare to attack.
As soon as his son died, Chen Xu asked to marry the princess, as if he was deliberately going against him, completely ignoring his desolation and feelings.
Zhao Gao had four sons and two daughters, but only one son and one daughter were born, the daughter was older and married to Yan Le, and his son Zhao Zhe caused a huge disaster in Nanyang because of his pampered habits, which led to Chen Xu's guards cutting off his outer kidney and becoming a eunuch, which made him Zhao no longer in the world, as for the three sons and one daughter who came out of the concubine, they did not have much status in this era of bloodline and identity, and they could not take the stage.
Not to mention his own dead son, he had to worry about Chen Xu marrying the princess, and coupled with his own hatred for Chen Xu, Zhao Gao couldn't wait to pounce on Chen Xu who was sitting on the big chair at this time and strangled him to death.
As for how his son could suddenly be killed in the palace, Zhao Gao was also confused.
Chen Xu had just returned to Xianyang not long ago, and he was newly married, and the emperor did not often summon Chen Xu into the palace.
Therefore, Zhao Gao's only speculation was that Chen Xu was not drunk at the time, and his son couldn't help but do it, so Chen Xu killed his son under the counterattack, and then deliberately hid in the ditch after holding the eunuch hostage and escaping from the palace, and then pushed the matter onto the missing eunuch in order to muddy the water.
It must be so......
Zhao Gao secretly stared at Chen Xu's fierce fists, clenched his teeth and gritted his teeth.
At the same time, he was also very puzzled, why his subordinate Zhao Po had not come back to report the news so far, and whether the planned matter of Nanyang County had been successful? And how did Chen Xu return to Xianyang safely?
