In the palace –

Ma De knelt on the ground, his face almost pressed to the floor, and even his breathing became cautious, for fear of breaking the string in Dongfang Xiao's heart.

"My eighth brother barely reacted, so he agreed, and he also handled the dowry himself? Even the date is booked, just two days later? ”

Dongfang Xiao had a vague smile on his face, but the chill in his words was so cold that Gonggong Feng, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his back bent even more.

"Your Majesty! What the old minister said was true, the eighth prince was indeed only entangled for a moment, and then directly took over the holy decree, and there was no other overreaction, Feng Gonggong was also present at the time, if the old minister had a false word, he would be thundered by the sky......"

"That's it!"

Dongfang Xiao interrupted Ma De's words impatiently, stomped a few steps left and right with a gloomy face, and suddenly picked up the fold on the table and smashed it on Ma De's head, and scolded with a slap on his face: "Useless things, get out of here!" ”

Ma De suddenly got up from the ground, and said as he retreated, "Your Majesty is angry, the old minister will get out, this will get out......"

At this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, His Majesty was still willing to scold him, which meant that his Ma family could completely retreat from the whirlpool of posture in the future, and would not be punished again.

He has been with Dongfang Xiao for many years, not to mention that he fully understands this person's character, but at least he can find out the meaning of seventy percent, don't look at Dongfang Xiao at this time he is extremely angry, in fact, His Majesty himself understands that this time it is his decision...... Wrong!

Ling Li was just a person he had chosen according to His Majesty's wishes, but now that the holy decree came out, the Rui Wangfu not only did not resist, but happily purchased a dowry.

Such a development was almost unexpected by everyone.

"The water of the royal family is getting muddy, it's not good to flow......"

With this thought in his heart, Ma De had unconsciously walked outside the palace gate, he glanced back at the majestic and magnificent main gate of the palace, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and walked away.

At the same time, there was still silence in the imperial study of the palace, and the needle drop could be heard.

Dongfang Xiao sat down at the table in a blink of an axe, and gently picked up a thick dossier, which was written on it all about Dongfang Rui's countermeasures after raising troops to rebel, and he originally thought it was quite outstanding.

Now, it's all waste!

"Eighth brother, eighth brother, you hide it so deeply, even my brother and I underestimate you."

Looking at Dongfang Rui's information in his hand, Dongfang Xiao smiled coldly, "Everyone thinks that you love your daughter like your life, but when it comes to a critical moment, you don't hesitate to sell your daughter, it's really difficult to do it for your brother......"

"Your Majesty, your anger hurts your body, take care of the dragon's body, ......"

Before Gonggong Feng finished speaking, he was stopped by Dongfang Xiao with a wave of his hand, and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I am not so fragile, since the opportunity has been missed, then I am looking for other opportunities." The eighth brother and the Ling family are married, and the weak are still weak when they add up, so there is no need to worry! It's this wedding banquet......"

Dongfang Xiao narrowed his eyes, "If I don't go and see it with my own eyes, how can I be willing?" Feng Xian! ”

Feng Gonggong immediately took two steps forward, "The old slave is here!" ”

"Ling Li made a mistake a few years ago, which girl did he peek at?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it is the daughter of General Wu's Mansion, Wu Xiuxiu."

"Announce her to the palace!"

"Yes!"

……

The next day, there was only one day left before the wedding day.

The servants of the Rui Wangfu and the Ling Mansion were busy and crazy, after a few days of careful preparation, the Ling Mansion and the Rui Wangfu were replaced with bright red decorations, everywhere was red and gorgeous, festive and extraordinary, the decoration of the East Courtyard was more grand, except for the study room, the furniture and decoration in all other places were almost replaced with new.

Inside the house, Ling Li sat in a wheelchair in a bright red wedding robe, quietly looking at himself in the mirror. Qiu Meng, who personally tied his hair behind his back, couldn't help but catch a glimpse of the whiteness of Ling Li's hands, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

This kid...... It was the first time I had seen him so nervous.

After so many years, Ling Li was debauched and lingered in women, she even thought that in the end Ling Li would marry so many ten or eight Oiran and go home as a wife, who would have thought that fate was so magical, this silly boy not only met his sweetheart, but also luckily married her home.

As a mother, sometimes when she thinks about it, she can't help but wonder if she is in a dream, her son is so blessed!

Thinking like this, Qiu Meng's fingertips stroked a strand of Ling Li's black hair, looking at the cold and serious face in the mirror, she was slightly surprised, she was used to seeing the little bastard with a tilted head and a slanted head, why didn't she find Li'er all the time...... You look so handsome?! Compared with those boys in Yunjing City who boast of being beautiful sons, they are handsome, I don't know how many times.

"If it's just about appearance, Su Li's girl won't be a loss."

Qiu Meng thought secretly, and sighed: "This is the last time for my mother to tie your hair, and in the future, this job will be handed over to Su Li, you have to treat others well, and you must not live up to it, you know?" ”

"Got it, mother."

Ling Li agreed, smiling bitterly in his heart. It's not clear what happened, but there's something wrong with it.

At the beginning, in front of the grave of Su Yue in the osmanthus forest, she had clearly drawn a clear line, and it was okay not to find revenge, how could she agree to marry herself?

All of this is very likely just Su Li is acting.

But even if it's just a show, even if it's ...... It's all in the mirror, deceiving himself, and he is willing to cooperate with Su Li and continue to act!

The groom's official dress was extremely cumbersome, Ling Li sat for a long time, and in the afternoon, Ling Ping, who was dressed in military uniform, returned to Ling's mansion, and immediately couldn't help but joke after seeing Ling Li:

"Brother Li, you look like a talent, but your expression is not quite right, why are you so nervous? Do others look at it and think you're going to war? ”

Ling Li smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Second brother, you don't have to arrange me anymore, the younger brother is already nervous enough." ”

"Huh? You're not right, brother! Ling Ping waved his hand and said, "You are my Ling family's son, and you can't show timidity at any time......

"Ping'er!"

Before Ling Ping finished speaking, Qiu Meng had already walked in, glanced at him and said, "Don't come to make fun of your brother, if you have the ability, you can find one back yourself, but I want to see how calm you are." ”

When his mother spoke, Ling Ping immediately coaxed, shrunk his neck and didn't dare to say more.

When Ling Li saw this scene, his heavy mind finally relaxed, and he barely showed a smile, but Ling Ping's brows were slightly furrowed when he saw this appearance.

When Qiu Meng went out again, only Ling Li and Ling Ping were left in the house, Ling Li glanced at the mother who was walking away outside the house, took off his armor, squatted down and looked at Ling Li, and said seriously:

"Brother Li, I see that your expression is wrong, you tell my brother the truth, is there something to hide from me?"

Ling Li was stunned and hid the matter of his second brother...... There were too many, and he didn't know which one Ling Ping was talking about for a while, so naturally it was not easy to respond.

Seeing this, Ling Ping thought that Ling Li was inferior, so he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and gently patted the blanket covering Ling Li's legs: "Don't worry, my brother can be regarded as reading countless people, Miss Su Li's temperament is true and pure, since she is willing to marry you, she will not dislike you at all." ”

Ling Li was stunned, and he didn't know what it was like for a while.

He has hidden these legs from his family for ten years, and no one knows how many years he will hide them in the future.

"Second brother, I'll take care of it."

Ling Li replied in a low voice, Ling Ping couldn't help but feel helpless when he saw this, but he didn't continue to persuade him, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, his brother's legs have been crippled for so many years, if he can still maintain his self-confidence, it would be really weird.

After seeing his younger brother, Ling Ping returned to the house and changed into civilian clothes, and immediately came out to help Qiu Meng arrange together, he came back for two purposes, one was naturally to serve as a façade for his younger brother, and the other was ......

"The southern border is about to move again, maybe I will have to go on the expedition as soon as I leave my brother and get married. The matter ...... It's better to wait until the divorce is completed before telling the family. ”

Ling Ping shook his head to disperse distracting thoughts, he had not been on the battlefield once or twice, now his younger brother's marriage was the most important, and other things were not in his consideration.

Into the night –

Ling Li lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep at all.

In the middle of the night, the entire Ling Mansion fell into a deep sleep, Ling Li got up from the bed, opened the dark compartment under the wardrobe, and a black shirt came into view, but before he could take off the wedding robe, he was stopped by a pair of hands.

"Young master, Madame has a thousand instructions, ten thousand instructions, it is best not to go to see the bride before getting married, it is unlucky."

Ling Mo's eyes darkened, and he said helplessly, "Besides, Madame spends a whole day dressing you up, and even lets you sleep in your clothes tonight." If you take it off like this, tomorrow will definitely show a flaw. ”

Ling Li's eyes sank, hesitated for a moment, and finally let go of the black shirt, and he didn't know whether it was the previous sentence or the latter sentence that moved him.

Seeing Ling Li give up, Ling Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and immediately put away his black shirt.

"Ling Mo, did you say that Su Li really wanted to marry me?"

"Young Master, you asked the wrong person this question, if you want to know, wouldn't it be better for you to ask the young lady in person tomorrow?"

"Young lady?"

Ling Li smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and lay down and closed his eyes. Whether he slept or not, the night was going to pass.

……

On this day, the fifth day of the third month, it is suitable for marriage!

The entire Yunjing City was lively early in the morning, and the street in front of Lingfu was crowded, if it weren't for the official government to maintain order, I was afraid that even the sedan chair to welcome relatives would not be able to get out.

In the streets and alleys, you can hear discussions everywhere, and everyone knows that today, the first beauty in Yunjing City is going to marry the first lady in Yunjing City!

At the beginning, after the holy decree was issued, the young talents in Yunjing City almost beat their chests and feet, gritting their teeth in anger, almost wanting to ascend to heaven, and they couldn't wait to go to Lingfu to slaughter that waste!

But the holy decree gives marriage, and the emperor is on top, even if they are given a hundred guts, they will not dare to destroy this wedding banquet.

After a few days of brewing, the marriage between the Rui Wangfu and the Ling family has become the talk of the entire Yunjing City after tea and dinner, and it is not surprising that on the day of marriage, it will cause thousands of empty alleys.

Under such grand attention, Ling Li, who was dressed in a big red robe, finally got into a special wedding car and set off!
