Chapter 177: Betrothed
Chapter 177: Betrothed
"Shuangshuang, Master has given you three days, and there is one day left for tomorrow, do you have any plans?" Leng Mo hugged Xi Shuang and asked.
"Plans? Hmm......" Xi Shuang thought about it with his chin propped up, and said, "I want Master to give me two more days of grace to leave the country." β
Leng Mo had a sense of crisis in his heart, and even a little surprised, he had no words.
Xi Shuang felt the cold air emanating from Leng Mo's body, and knew that this guy must have overturned the vinegar jar, so he quickly explained.
"Oops, I just haven't seen Xiaoliu and Xiaoqian for a long time, and I don't know if the two of them can handle the emperor."
"Are you sure it's just for Xiaoliu and Xiaoqian? No one else? Leng Mo's mood eased a little, but this guy even ate Xiao Liu and Xiao Qian's vinegar.
"Don't worry, now I only have you in my eyes!" Xi Shuang held a cold face and said with a smile. Seeing his serious face, he couldn't help but knead his face, and his cold brows finally stretched.
"Not to leave Qi?" Leng Mo took Xi Shuang's hand away from his face, grabbed it tightly in his palm, and asked rhetorically.
"Of course not!" Although Xi Shuang answered happily, the unnaturalness and weakness of his heart that flashed in his eyes had long been captured by Leng Mo.
"Huh?" Leng Mo deliberately dragged out the end note.
Xi Shuang smiled stupidly and said, "Oh, it's only a small part of the reason for leaving Qi!" I can see that he is a genius who governs the country, if there is no him, it will be with the mediocre and cowardly old emperor, and the cowardly Lilin, who can't support the wall, and sooner or later he will be used by the Sanyin Pavilion to leave the country. β
"You have a good impression of him?" Leng Mo raised his eyebrows and said deliciously.
"Not really! I don't think much of him! I have the best impression of you! Xi Shuangchong smiled coldly and flatteringly, leaning into his arms.
"That's pretty much it." Leng Mo was quite satisfied, and the corners of his mouth hooked a curvature, rippling with a soft light of happiness.
Early the next morning, Leng Mo went into the palace to discuss things with Emperor Feng, and Xi's father was also summoned to the harem after the end of the early dynasty, and Xi Shuang was still asleep on the incense couch Xiao Yu called her, she answered casually, turned over and covered the quilt, and fell asleep again.
In the palace.
Leng Mo bowed respectfully and said, "Please also invite Emperor Feng, Queen Feng, and Uncle Xi to complete!" β
Feng Huanyu smiled and looked at Xi Yue, only to see that Xi Yue was also smiling and nodding, Feng Huanyu spoke: "I and the queen naturally agree, but Xi Shuang's marriage has to be decided by my father-in-law." β
"Uncle Xi." Leng Mo looked at Father Xi, his eyes were not indifferent and cold in the past, but full of expectations, and even a little courteous in them.
Father Xi thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind, bowed his head, and said: "King Qing's feelings for our family, Weichen and Neiko are both in their eyes, if Weichen still doesn't agree, it is estimated that Xishuang's mother will not give me a good look." It's just ......," Father Xi sighed heavily.
"Father-in-law, what are the difficulties?" Feng Huanyu asked, to be honest, he also hopes that a lover can eventually become a family, and hopes that Xi Shuang and Leng Mo can get married, so to speak, their combination is beneficial and harmless. It's just that Father Xi seems to be a little embarrassed.
"Uncle Xi, I know that I may not have met the requirements of your son-in-law, but I will definitely do my best to take care of and protect Xi Shuang." Leng Mo said firmly.
I saw that Father Xi shook his head, sighed, and said, "Your Royal Highness King Qing, you have done well enough, but now Shuangshuang is no longer just the daughter of me and my insider, she has biological parents." What's more, her biological father is still the patriarch of the Wind Clan, so I'm afraid I'm not qualified to decide on the marriage of Shuangshuang. β
Feng Huanyu and Xi Yue looked at each other after hearing this. They were too excited for a while, and they actually forgot that Xi Shuang had already added the identity of the young master of the Wind Clan, and their faces suddenly became a little tangled.
"Uncle Xi can rest assured, when I was in the Wind Clan before, the Wind Clan Patriarch and Mrs. already knew about me and Xi Shuang. What's more, in Xi Shuang's heart, you and your aunt's already should be the most important. Leng Mo said confidently.
"Okay." Father Xi nodded, his face softened a little, and Feng Huanyu and Xi Yue looked at each other and smiled, just waiting for the marriage letter from the Dragon Kingdom. This is to satisfy Leng Mo and the Dragon Emperor who is far away in the Dragon Kingdom, waiting for Leng Mo's letter every day and night, and is ready to send the marriage letter to the Dragon Kingdom at any time.
"Since my father-in-law also nodded, then I will wait for the marriage letter of the Dragon Kingdom." Feng Huanyu said with joy on his face.
Because Leng Mo is not an ordinary person, nor is he a child of the official eunuchs of the Feng Kingdom, but the Qing King of the Dragon Kingdom. The combination of Xi Shuang and Leng Mo is equivalent to the marriage of two great powers of equal strength, which cannot be solved by ordinary marriage, and it is necessary for the Dragon Kingdom to send envoys to send the marriage, and after the Feng Kingdom has accepted the marriage letter, the Dragon Kingdom will send the dowry to the Feng Kingdom.
It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as Feng Huanyu's voice fell, he only heard the eunuch outside the hall shouting in a sharp voice: "The envoy of the Dragon Kingdom asks to see !! β
Feng Huanyu, Xi Yue, and Xi's father were all shocked, and they were all amazed by Leng Mo's action. But Leng Mo is calm as usual, since he has decided to be a couple with Xi Shuang for the rest of his life, he will arrange everything. Last night, he wrote to his father overnight, and the Feng Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom themselves were not far apart, so the envoys set off overnight, and calculated that they would be able to reach Fengdu this morning.
I heard a "Xuan!" The eunuch respectfully led the envoys of the Dragon Kingdom to meet him.
And the envoy of the Dragon Kingdom is not someone else, it is the crown prince Long Xuanjing, of course, Feng Huanrong did not come back with him, he just had some intention of opening up with Long Hui'er these days, and he just happened to meet Long Xuanjing's absence, he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity, and the so-called opportunity must not be lost and never come again.
Long Xuanjing walked in, and after saluting with the people in the hall, he handed the marriage book to the big eunuch who served next to him, and the big eunuch carefully took the marriage book that symbolized the auspiciousness of the dragon and phoenix, and carefully presented it to Feng Huanyu at every step.
Feng Huanyu opened the marriage book, nodded with satisfaction, didn't say anything, directly knocked on his jade seal, and then handed the marriage book to Father Xi.
Father Xi thanked him, looking at the marriage letter covered with the seals of the monarchs of the dragon and phoenix, he seemed to have a thousand catties in his hands, and he was more reluctant to give up in his heart. Receiving this marriage letter means that Shuangshuang and King Qing have made a marriage contract, and they will be married soon, and Shuangshuang is also destined to leave them and go to the Dragon Kingdom.
"Emperor Feng, father-in-law, now the world is turbulent, my father and the emperor mean, I hope that the emperor's brother and sister can hold an engagement banquet first, and tell the world that the dowry of the Dragon Kingdom has been transported to the house, and after the situation stabilizes, the sedan chair will be lifted again to marry the younger siblings to the Dragon Kingdom. I don't know what Emperor Feng and Queen Feng and their father-in-law think? β
"That's excellent, of course." Emperor Feng saw that Father Xi nodded, and replied.
Long Xuanjing received a satisfactory answer, bowed, and nodded towards Leng Mo. There was both loss and joy in his expression.
What is sad is that it was not himself who married Xi Shuang in the last eight sedan chairs, but he was happy that Xi Shuang and Leng Mo could have lovers and eventually become married. One is a loved one, the other is a loved one, for them, Long Xuanjing can only bless, he smiled, swallowing all the bitterness into his stomach.
Because Xi Shuang is about to leave the day after tomorrow, the engagement banquet between her and Leng Mo will be arranged for tomorrow, but the current Xi Shuang doesn't know.
Xi Shuang was called impatient by Xiao Yu, so he sat up, and then got out of bed to wash and dress up at Xiao Yu's urging.
Xi Shuangzheng looked at himself in the mirror in a daze, only to hear a commotion outside, and then Uncle Liu ran in, stood at the door and shouted: "Miss, His Royal Highness King Qing has come down to propose marriage, and he has given a lot of dowry gifts, and Mrs. asked you to go to the front yard." β
What the?! Propose?! Dowry?!
Xi Shuang was startled, and she made waves in the mirror.
Why is this cold silence so fast?! And it all happened silently?! Xi Shuang was very puzzled, when did he do all these things?!
Doubts are doubts, she and Xiao Yu walked quickly to the front yard together.
I saw that the door was crowded with people who were probing into Xi's mansion, looking at the dowry one by one, their eyes were shining, and they were almost drooling.
A ceremonial official was reading the name of the dowry one by one, and the dowry was opened and was ten meters long! Xi Shuang and Xiao Yu both had the same pupils shocked, and then looked at the ground, there were boxes of dowry gifts, and they saw that they were already about to fill the front yard, and they were moving in one box after another.
Xi Shuang looked at the boxes of dowries in surprise, she had reason to wonder if Leng Mo had emptied the entire Dragon Country treasury, this dowry was too amazing!
"Shuangshuang, come!"
Xi Shuang heard Xi Mu call her, so she came back to her senses, bypassed these dowries, and walked to Xi Mu's side.
"Mother, what is this cold silence for? He couldn't have emptied the Dragon Nation's treasury, right? Xi Shuang asked in a suppressed voice.
"You kid ......" Xi Mu knocked on Xi Shuang's head with a smile, and said with a smile: "This dragon kingdom is the richest of the three kingdoms, but looking at this dowry, King Qing is really bloody." β
Xi Shuang nodded, his smile full of happiness. Leng Mo was good to her, she always knew.
"After getting married, I want to live a good life with King Qing." Xi Mu smiled and wiped her tears.
"Okay, mother, if you miss me in the future, I'll come back, anyway, the Phoenix Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom are not very far away." Xi Shuang hugged Xi's mother, she seemed to be smiling heartlessly, but in fact, she was also very reluctant in her heart.
"Silly child, how can a married daughter run away from her parents' house!" Xi Mu held Xi Shuang's hands tightly and said.
"Alas, I don't know if my in-laws will make you suffer if I marry both." Xi Mu sighed and said.
"Mother, don't worry, Amer's father is still very kind, his imperial sister is also a good friend of mine, as for his imperial brother Long Xuanjing, it is Jingxuan who played with me when I was a child, and we have a good relationship!" Xi Shuang's smile was as brilliant as a peach blossom, and her smile made Xi Mu's worry slightly lightened.
"If King Qing bullies you......"
"How dare he?!" Before Xi Mu finished speaking, Xi Shuang said so.
Before the words fell, Xi Shuang felt a trace of warmth in his waist, but he nodded coldly and said solemnly, "Mother-in-law, I really don't dare." β
Xi Shuang's face was crimson, even if they were about to become husband and wife, they couldn't do it in front of their mother! Xi Shuang hurriedly pushed away Leng Mo.
Leng Mo pretended to be pitiful and walked to Xi's mother's side, and said, "Mother-in-law, over the years, only Xi Shuang has bullied me. β
Leng Mo secretly smiled at Xi Shuang, who glared at him back.
The snickering coldly didn't see Xi Mu, but took in Xi's eyes coldly.
"Shuangshuang, you're going to be a wife, why are you still messing around! King Qing, if our family bullies you, you will bear more, if you really can't tell me! β
Xi Mu was worried that Xi Shuang would be bullied by Leng Mo just now, and she was not at ease with Leng Mo, but in the blink of an eye, she stood in Leng Mo's camp.
Xi's father also came back and discussed some details of the engagement banquet with Xi's mother, but Leng Mo didn't want to listen to the boring voice of the ceremonial official here, so he pulled Xishuang away.
"Angry?"
"You're not angry, are you?"
"Oh, I wasn't worried about your mother just now!"
"But I'm telling the truth!"
"Really angry?"
"Angry?"
"Don't be mad at me, okay?"
"I was wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"Everywhere is wrong!"
Xi Shuang looked at Leng Mo's really annoyed look, and couldn't help laughing, she wasn't angry at all, it was just the first time she saw Leng Mo so naΓ―ve, a little incredible, and she just wanted to play with him. Of course, in the future, she will see the naivety of cold silence one by one.
Trick him?
The corners of Xi Shuang's mouth rose slightly, as if she was indeed bullying him.
