Chapter Ninety-Four: Choosing a Son-in-law

A gust of wind blew, and the clouds opened and the moon brightened.

The figure of the prince Qingjun stands in the corridor, and the festive orange palace lamp is hung under the corridor, and the grass under the orange light jumps up with sparkling spots. He sobered up in the breeze, looked at the warm colors in front of him, and thought in his heart that it was Amber who was not born in the moon at home and Yun Xi, who was taking care of her, with a beautiful wife and concubines, and children, and there was nothing else to ask for in life.

"Xuexian has seen the prince's cousin." I don't know when Du Xuexian quietly came to Duan Yingting's side.

"Cousin, you're welcome." Duan Yingting nodded at her distantly and politely.

As the saying goes, "Don't look at women under the moon, don't look at Lang under the lamp", Duanyingting, who was dressed in a bamboo-blue ink-colored crane pattern antique satin robe, was really a jade tree in the wind, and shrouded in this ambiguous and infinite light, which caused Du Xuexian's heart to throb like a deer. It was rare that his wife was not there, and she really couldn't hide her admiration in her heart, and chanted softly: "The incense is sold and the green leaves are left, and the west wind is worried about the green waves." is also haggard with Shaoguang, unbearable! The drizzle dreams back to the youth, and the small building blows through the Yusheng cold. How many teardrops are lovesick and hateful, leaning on the diaphragm. [ Adapted from Li Jing's "Huanxi Sha", the original word is written about the resentment of the woman, which is borrowed here to express the pain of lovesickness.

The original text is: The incense is sold and the green leaves are left, and the west wind is worried about the green waves. is also haggard with Shaoguang, unbearable! The drizzle dreams back to the chicken, and the small building blows through the Yusheng cold. How many tears of infinite hatred, leaning on the dry. ]”

Du Xuexian used poetry to express not only the intimate time of nostalgia for playing with Duan Yingting when he was young, but also vaguely expressed his deep lovesickness. Like Duan Yingting, how can he not hear the sound outside the strings? It's a pity that Duan Yingting has no intention of her, and she will live up to her affection after all: "Lishu is so stupid!" Thou shalt be well matched, and thy house shall have its own wife. Why worry about each other? ”

"I think I'm stupid, I just want to entangle with Your Highness! What if His Highness already has a wife? His Royal Highness is a dignified prince and a future king, and he can have women all over the world! Xuexian is willing to be a concubine, why did His Highness cruelly refuse? Du Xuexian turned around excitedly, Xue Qingtian's fragrant silk fairy skirt swayed with the wind, and even her mournful expression had a thrilling beauty.

"It is precisely because you are infatuated that if I have no intention, I cannot trample on it wantonly. I can't delay you in order to fulfill your heart, that would be selfish and shameful! Xuexian, you are still young, your aunt and father will carefully choose a good son-in-law for you, you should not waste your energy on unworthy people. "Duan Yingting knows the reason.

"It's worth it, you're worth it! Just what he said just now is enough to prove that His Highness is a good man who is responsible and respectful! I...... It is to admire such a highness! Xuexian is both relieved and sad, relieved that she is not wrong, she loves the best man in the world; It hurts to know that such a good man doesn't love her......

"I'm sorry for your mistaken love. I don't love you and can't accept you. I just don't think anything happened today, so let's go. Duan Yingting said ruthlessly, wanting to break her thoughts. Snow Fairy really couldn't bear it, and ran away crying. Duan Yingting could only look at her distant figure and sighed helplessly.

For many, this night turned out to be a sleepless night.

Two days later, on the birthday of the sixth prince, the emperor wanted to ask Qin Fu to be his enlightenment teacher under the pretext that Duan Yingping had reached the age of enlightenment, so he handed over a post to Qin Fu in advance. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Qin Fu arrived as scheduled, but he didn't expect to hear that the emperor took the six princes to the Empress Dowager's palace to talk. Fang Da passed the emperor's edict and asked Qin Fu to go to Yongshou Palace to reply, Qin Fu felt strange but didn't think about it, and followed Fang Da to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

When Qin Fu went, the emperor was talking with the Queen Mother, and Duan Yingping had long since disappeared. Only Qin Fu himself didn't know, and the enlightenment of the six princes was just a pretense. The real purpose of the emperor to bring him to Yongshou Palace was to show the Queen Mother whether the talented young man in front of him was qualified to be the Queen Mother's most beloved princess Qinxin.

The Queen Mother asked Qin Fu some questions skillfully and without a trace, and Qin Fu's answer made the Queen Mother very satisfied. The Queen Mother also affirmed this "son-in-law" in her heart, and nodded to the emperor with satisfaction. Duan Yulin understood the Queen Mother's intentions, and only asked Qin Fu to go back and wait for the notice without mentioning it.

Qin Fu waited for five days, but what he was waiting for was an invitation letter from the emperor for autumn hunting. He was not very interested in the royal hunting activities, but he had to go because of the emperor's personal invitation. This time, the children and princesses of the royal family went to hunt a lot, and Qin Fu also wanted to take this opportunity to ask about the enlightenment of the six princes, but he didn't think about it, but he was vaguely perfunctory by the emperor. When it came to the women's group safari, Qin Fu was also sent to Princess Qinxin's team to protect the princess's safety, and all of this made him scratch his head.

Ten days after the end of the autumn hunt, Qin Fu still did not receive the emperor's decree appointing him as the emperor's prince's teacher, but waited for a decree to give marriage. The protagonist who was given marriage was himself and the hottest princess of the dynasty! Qin Fu was not surprised, but felt that he was drunk as a head, and his eyes were black and he almost fainted.

"The Queen Mother! Queen mother! After Duanqin received the holy decree of marriage, he rushed to the queen mother's dormitory non-stop.

"What's going on in such a hurry? Have something to say slowly. Jiang Liang ordered Xia Ying to give Duan Qin a seat, but Duan Qin knelt straight at Jiang Yuan's feet without paying attention, but bluffed Jiang Liang and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"Queen Mother, the royal brother has given marriage to his son, but his son is unwilling! Ask the queen mother to intercede with the royal brother on behalf of her son, and let him take back his life! "Duanqin has not yet come out of the emotional wound of being rejected by Helian Luang, how can he marry someone else?

"Nonsense! Emperor Chrysostom said, how can he change the holy decree casually? Moreover, the marriage was also agreed to by the mourning family. Knowing that my daughter was crying to her for this, I was relieved.

"What? Is it the mother's approval? No wonder the royal brother didn't even ask me what I meant...... Why? Queen mother! Erchen doesn't want to marry Qin Gongzi! Duan Qin refused to get up, and continued to plead with tears in his eyes, which made Jiang Wei angry.

"Rise up for the mourners! What does it look like to cry like this? Jiang Fang stretched out his hand to pull Duanqin, but Duanqin broke away.

"If the queen mother doesn't agree to her son's retraction, her son's son will kneel down!" Duanqin also committed stubbornness, and he had to fight to the end.

Jiang Fang saw that his daughter didn't eat oil and salt, so he simply didn't bother to persuade her, and let her make trouble as she pleased. She took the honeysuckle tea offered by Xia Ying, took a sip of the fire, and said lightly: "If you want to kneel, kneel." You just knelt through the floor tiles, and you have to marry it. The mourning family doesn't have time to mess around with you! Xia Ying, prepare for it, and the mourning family wants to go to the Fahua Hall to chant sutras. As he spoke, he immediately stood up and walked out of the hall.

"Queen Mother!" Duanqin saw that the queen mother was really not threatened, and had no choice but to surrender. She hugged Jiang Yuan's leg and admitted her mistake: "Queen Mother, Erchen is wrong!" I beg the queen mother not to ignore her sons! ”

"So what do you say you're wrong?" Jiang Yu bent down to help his daughter up, sat on the chair with her, and gently wiped Duanqin's tears.

"Sons should not threaten the queen mother. But...... Erchen really didn't want to marry him...... "At the thought of marrying a man he didn't love, Duanqin couldn't control his tears.

"Just don't want to marry Qin Fu, or don't you want to marry anyone? Are you still thinking about that Prince Helian in Snow Country? Qin'er, wake up! People have already rejected you clearly, and you still can't forget it, stupid or not! Jiang Fangqi was angry that his daughter was not interested, and in disappointment threw the handkerchief to Duanqin to wipe her tears.

"Erchen just can't forget ......" Duanqin fell in love with Helian Luang at first sight, he was her first love, and her first love was always the most unforgettable.

"If you can't forget, you have to forget! Do you think you still have a chance with him? His return to China this time will inevitably experience a fierce struggle for the throne. If he wins, he will inherit the throne of the country, and there will be three thousand beauties in the harem in the future; If you are defeated, you will die without a place to be buried; Do you want to be one of his countless women? Or would you like to accompany him to Huangquan? Jiang Fang couldn't see his daughter's uncompetitive face, so he patted the edge of the table hatefully and shook off two pieces of armor.

Duanqin was worried that the queen mother would be injured, so he hurriedly held up Jiang Dong's hand and said distressedly: "The queen mother was angry and hurt her fingers carefully. ”

"Do you still know that you feel sorry for your mother? If you were sensible, you shouldn't cry like this today. Will it hurt you if the queen mother asks you to marry Qin Fu? Qin'er, the queen mother told you that Qin Fu is your best choice, and you will regret it for the rest of your life if you miss him! "There is no mother in the world who does not think about her children.

"Why? Why does it have to be Qin Fu? The sons of important ministers in the court abound, why did the queen mother take a fancy to him? Duanqin didn't understand why the queen mother chose Qin Fu, who looked weak for her.

"Silly child, it's not the queen mother who has to choose the son of the Qin family, it's your emperor's brother who 'likes' him......" Jiang Fang found that his daughter was looking at her with a puzzled face, so he patiently explained to her: "The Jiang family used to be a noble and noble family, and its power was intertwined. Today's saint is not the son of the mourning family, and before ascending the throne, he was close to the mourning family to borrow the power of the Jiang family; But now that the emperor is the son of heaven, he is afraid of the Jiang family. In addition, your aunt is married to Feng Tianxiang again, and the emperor is now guarding against the mourning family everywhere. Do you think, will he still marry the mourning family's biological daughter to the son of an important minister? He fell in love with Qin Fu because his parents died, and there was only one brother in the family who enjoyed the title of concubine. Such a family background poses no threat to anyone, and this is what the emperor wants. Otherwise, why didn't he marry you to the young general of the Immortal Family, but chose a county lord with a declining family? ”

"No wonder, no wonder! At the beginning, even if the queen mother did not stop it, the imperial brother would not really let the sons marry in a foreign country, and the royal brothers would not let the sons have the opportunity to become the queen of Fanbang...... The imperial brother will inevitably only marry his son to a rich and noble son who has no power and no power! Duanqin understood the emperor's selfishness, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"It's good that you understand. Besides, the queen mother has seen it for you, Qin Fu is really a good offspring. In addition to the fact that he has no merit and fame, he is much stronger than some of the children of the clan, at least the queen mother can see that he is a good person. Qin'er, you should listen to the queen mother......" Jiang Yu took Duanqin into his arms, gently brushed her hair, and persuaded her bitterly.

Duanqin buried her head in her mother's chest, silently weeping, thinking sadly in her heart, anyway, she is destined to have no chance with her beloved in this life, and who is she married is not the same? What's more, as the queen mother said, Qin Fu is kind and honest, and she is already the most suitable candidate for the horse, what else does she have to be picky about? Get married! Marrying Qin Fu reassured the queen mother and the emperor.

Duanqin, who had figured it out, wiped away his tears, looked up at his mother, and made up his mind with a firm gaze: "Queen Mother, marry your son!" Jiang Ming knew that she was wronged, but he could only wronged her, and his eyes were red when he thought about it.
