Chapter 129: Marriage to Xie Yutang
Xie Yutang asked the eunuch beside the emperor, "Father-in-law, I don't know what the emperor summoned me?" β
The father-in-law couldn't help but smile and said: "Vice General Xie, you should know, the prince came to see the emperor today, saying that he was going to give Vice General Xie a marriage, and now Vice General Xie is the victorious general, I believe that many women will like the deputy general." β
When Xie Yutang heard this, his face changed, and his heart was filled with anger in an instant, this prince is really nosy, and he actually wants him to marry.
"Vice General Xie, let's go with our family." The father-in-law pointed to the carriage outside the door. This is the emperor's royal carriage, and he actually came to pick up Xie Yutang in person, what an honor.
Zou Qi glanced at Xie Yutang, and felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Xie Yutang glanced at Zou Qi and motioned him to find the King of Chu with his eyes, and Zou Qi understood and went directly to the King of Chu after they left.
When the King of Chu heard Zou Qi's words, he was shocked, the prince would be so kind? I'm afraid it's not that simple, not to mention whether Xie Yutang has Chi Wan in his heart, even if he doesn't, he can't let the prince marry him, what's more, he still has Chi Wan in his heart, he didn't stop all this at the beginning, and now he will definitely not be able to ruin Xie Yutang.
Xie Yutang stood in the imperial study, looking at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, but his heart was extremely irritable, this emperor is really here to reward him, or is he here to block him, who will use him to give marriage.
"Vice General Xie, I have always been very optimistic about you, and you really lived up to my expectations." The emperor smiled.
Xie Yutang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The emperor has won the award, and it is the accusation of the minister to protect the family and defend the country." β
"Haha, I like your temperament, but even if you are defending your family and country, you have to contribute to your own family, you are not young now, and you have reached the age of marrying, I heard that Yu Shishi, the daughter of the household, is a versatile woman, I believe you will like it very much." The emperor knew that the picture scroll sent by the crown prince, and he was also satisfied with this Yu Shishi, and he was also talented at the banquet before, which was the most suitable for him.
Xie Yutang's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is unwilling to start a family now, and I ask the emperor to take back his life." β
"Hey, you can't say that, now the prince has three wives and four concubines, but you don't have anyone." Before the emperor's words were finished, he was interrupted by Xie Yutang.
"Your Majesty, if you really want to reward your ministers, please ask the emperor to take back your order." Xie Yutang said with a serious face, and his eyes were full of determination.
The emperor's face suddenly became a little ugly, "Are you trying to resist the decree?" β
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare, but the minister wants to marry a woman he loves, and as for the marriage, I ask the emperor to take back his fate." Xie Yutang is indeed very dissatisfied, and it is not a matter of Chi Wan marrying Mu Zhufeng now, he has been waiting for an opportunity to make Chi Wan and Mu Zhufeng reconcile.
Therefore, the position of the main wife can only be Chi Wan, and no one can be allowed to occupy this position.
"What if the emperor wants so." The emperor's expression was slightly angry, not because he had to give him a marriage, but he just didn't understand why he was unwilling to accept it.
"Then ask the emperor to give the minister death, the minister's wife can only be the minister's sweetheart, and others don't want to think about it." Xie Yutang stood up straight, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a very firm expression, and his eyes looked at the emperor's eyes without fear.
"You ......" The emperor was so angry that before he could speak, he heard a voice from the door.
"The King of Chu has arrived."
The king of Chu walked in with a suit outside, looking at the emperor's angry and arrogant face, and a person who looked like he was dying together, he knew that this time the conversation was not very good.
"Father."
"Why are you here?" The anger in the emperor's heart was uneasy, but this son came uninvited.
The king of Chu arched his hand and said: "Father, the son heard that he was going to give Vice General Xie a marriage, so he came here on purpose. β
"What? You also think that what I am doing is wrong? β
"Erchen didn't dare, but Erchen always felt that he still asked his father to think twice about this matter." The King of Chu sighed lightly, and his tone was even more meaningful.
The emperor raised his eyebrows, and his anger did not subside, "How do you say this." β
"Father, Vice General Xie is a sweetheart, but that sweetheart is now in a bit uncomfortable and can't be together, the two of them once swore an oath, father, you also know that Vice General Xie has always been a person who values love and righteousness, you let him marry someone else, isn't this a stab in his heart?" King Chu simply said the matter, turned his head and glanced at Xie Yutang, still angry.
When the emperor heard this, his anger disappeared a lot, and he shifted his gaze to Xie Yutang's face, "There is still such a thing?" β
"Yes, father, now his sweetheart can't return, but the sons also believe that they will definitely be together, father, who hasn't been young and frivolous, and my father was the same back then, and I asked my father to calm his anger, and this matter will be stopped."
When the emperor heard this, his eyes were contemplative, as if he would think of the time when everyone was young and frivolous, and there were also people who wanted to stay together.
I wonder what he didn't do in the first place.
The emperor really didn't mention this matter again, King Chu's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Father, the prince is ...... there."
"I'll go back and explain, Vice General Xie, this is your own choice, don't regret it in the future."
"The minister will never regret it." Xie Yutang's tone was full of firmness, and he would not regret it.
Chi Wan sat in the queen mother's bedroom to learn etiquette, listening to the conversation of the palace maid and knowing that the emperor had decreed marriage, Chi Wan's heart suddenly sank, and she wanted to listen to more things, but the two palace maids left.
A loss in the bottom of the eye, give marriage? How did he forget, Xie Yutang didn't even have a concubine, and it was understandable that the emperor would give him a marriage, and she now wanted to know what Xie Yutang would do.
King Chu and Xie Yutang walked out of the imperial study, their expressions were unprecedentedly relaxed, and Xie Yutang glanced at King Chu gratefully.
"Thank you, King Chu."
"You're polite, this king didn't help you with Chi Wan's matter at the beginning, but this time this time this king hopes to be in time, Yutang, you were too impulsive just now, do you know that your father can push you out of the noon gate at any time and behead you." The King of Chu looked at him reproachfully, if he hadn't come in time, who knew what would have happened.
Xie Yutang was silent, he just wanted to see how Chi Wan was doing now.
"I'll go back first."
"Wait, this king will take you to a place." The king of Chu saw through his thoughts, opened his mouth to stop him, and walked in front.
Xie Yutang was puzzled, but he obediently followed.
Because the scenery is good today, Chi Wan is teaching etiquette outside, and the palace maids in the distance can hear Mama Liu's words, and Chi Wan is still expressionless.
was indifferent to this matter, and in the end, Mama Liu was called back by the Queen Mother, and Chi Wan was able to rest and sit on the stone chair to rest. But her heart was in turmoil, and she wanted to know if Xie Yutang would agree.
The more she sits, the more uncomfortable she becomes, so she has to walk around the neighborhood and look at the flowers and plants, maybe she can share her attention and not worry too much about it.
The King of Chu came over with Xie Yutang, and happened to meet the careless Chi Wan. Xie Yutang's eyes widened, and a trace of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes.
Chi Wan also found the person from the opposite side, and she was overjoyed, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a smile, but there were too many palace maids around, and no one could show it.
The King of Chu took Xie Yutang and passed by Chi Wan like this.
Chi Wan was stunned in place, turned around and silently looked at the back of Xie Yutang leaving, feeling a sense of loss in her heart.
It wasn't until the two figures disappeared that she returned to the queen mother's bedroom.
King Chu and Xie Yutang stopped when they walked not far away, and clearly watched Chi Wan's figure disappear into the queen mother's bedroom before retracting their gaze.
"Why is she here?"
The king of Chu replied: "You are not here, Chi Wan offended the princess because of participating in the palace banquet, the princess made a tongue in the queen mother, Chi Wan was punished by the queen mother to kneel at the palace gate all night, who knew that the next day was called by the queen mother to learn the rules." β
"How long have you been studying?" Xie Yutang was distressed when he heard it, no wonder the posture of watching Chi Wan walk just now was not quite right, he was still very strange, he didn't expect there to be such a story in it.
"It's been a long time, and now that you're back, I believe Chi Wan can get a little better." It's not that the king of Chu doesn't want to help, but he doesn't dare to speak easily, and the prince's people are staring at him too closely. It's impossible to say it, if it is known by my father, there will be unnecessary trouble.
Xie Yutang knew about the princess and Chi Wan's holiday, but it wasn't like this, didn't Chi Wan talk about the princess last time? How could it be......
The king of Chu said directly: "Because the person the princess likes is Mu Zhufeng, just before they got married, the princess showed her heart, but Mu Zhufeng rejected it." That's why it's where it is today. β
"Hmph, the princess really has bad eyes, and she has a crush on Mu Zhufeng." Xie Yutang was even more angry in his heart, why didn't Mu Zhufeng go to be a colt and pestered Wan'er.
When King Chu saw him like this, he couldn't help but want to laugh: "You, when did you become so naΓ―ve, which beauty doesn't love heroes, and which hero can be beautiful." β
Xie Yutang knew, but he just didn't want to admit it, looking at the queen mother's bedroom, his eyes were a little confused, and he was more distressed.
"Will Wan'er be here every day?"
"Well, in addition to that, she will also invite you to go to Concubine Li's side."
"Concubine Li?" Xie Yutang frowned, Concubine Li, he had seen that woman, but how could they know each other.
When the king of Chu saw him frowning, he didn't say much, if the prince wanted to marry him, he would definitely make a move, but he didn't know what kind of trick he would use.
"Let's go, this place is not suitable for long." The King of Chu suddenly spoke up and stopped Xie Yutang, who was thinking about something.
Xie Yutang was still reluctant to look at the Queen Mother's bedroom, if he didn't care about his identity, he really wanted to go in and see what Chi Wan had become now.
It was getting dark, Chi Wan wiped the sweat on her forehead, it was time to go to Concubine Li's palace, Mama Liu saw her tired face, she didn't see it, turned around and returned to the queen mother's bedroom.
