Chapter 312: Courtship
After Gao Feng came in to report, the emperor seemed to have just seen Tang Ning, and said with a smile: "I know that I am standing stupidly, and I haven't seen Lord Rong yet!" ”
Tang Ning almost vomited blood when he heard it, what do you mean to stand stupidly? Could it be that he had to find a stool to move over and sit down?
There's nowhere to make sense! But the emperor is the biggest, and the biggest is justified.
Tang Ning obediently saluted Lord Rong: "I've seen Lord Rong!" ”
After all, it is Rong Xuan's father, and he is regarded as someone else's son and nephew, and this little old man is top in both knowledge and character, so Tang Ning does not feel at a loss when he gives gifts to others.
At least it was more willing than giving the two princes a salute.
Master Rong returned the salute and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it!" ”
The emperor smiled and said, "What's the matter! After all, he is a junior, and he hasn't read for a few days, so he can also get a little literary by bowing to you, a bachelor full of poetry and books. ”
Lord Rong hurriedly smiled and said: "The emperor has praised it, and the minister is now a neighbor of General Tang, since he listened to General Tang's poems, he has a great respect for General Tang's poetry, but he doesn't dare to call him full of poetry in front of General Tang." ”
The emperor listened with interest and said, "Oh? Could it be that this kid is writing poetry again? ”
Lord Rong smiled and said: "The emperor's eyes are like torches, and the poems made by General Tang are amazing!" Although there is only half of it, only this half of it can be famous all over the world! It's a pity that there are only half of them! ”
Only half a song? The emperor was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Half a song, half a song, and listen to it!" ”
Lord Rong said impassionedly: "You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning." You don't see the sad white hair of Gao Tang Mingjing, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone. Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require 300 cups of drink. ”
After listening carefully, the emperor laughed and said, "Good poem! Sure enough, good poetry! ”
Lord Rong smiled: "It's indeed a good poem, but it's a pity that it's only half a poem." ”
The emperor laughed and said, "I have to say, this kid is indeed a little crooked sometimes." ”
The reason why Lord Rong praised him so much in front of the emperor was because he was very itchy about the second half of the poem. He felt that if the emperor felt good after listening to it, he would definitely let Tang Ning complete the second half of the poem.
The emperor has an order, and now Tang Ning can't shirk it, right!
But to Lord Rong's surprise, the emperor didn't seem to have asked Tang Ning to complete the poem. What Lord Rong didn't know was that even if the emperor ordered it, Tang Ning might not necessarily do it.
And the reason why the emperor didn't let Tang Ning write poems was because he looked at it coldly and found that Tang Ning only occasionally came inspiration and would make a few extremely amazing poems, but inspiration came and went quickly, so it was difficult to continue.
The emperor is also a father after all, and it is natural to feel extremely glorious to let his son shine in front of outsiders, but if he wants his son to be embarrassed, he is naturally not happy.
The banquet in the imperial dining room came up, and the emperor happily took Tang Ning and Lord Rong into the seat, this time Tang Ning learned to be obedient, and waited for the emperor and Lord Rong to take a seat, and Tang Ning sat down with a well-behaved face.
The waiting eunuchs opened the bowls one after another, and Tang Ning's eyes couldn't help but light up, his favorite dish was right in front of him.
Seeing Tang Ning's eyes narrowed, the emperor scolded with a smile: "You slanderous monkey, you are not afraid that Lord Rong will laugh at you!" Lord Rong didn't know that this kid had eaten three things once and was worried about it. ”
Lord Rong said with a smile: "These three things are precious and precious dishes, whether it is the selection of materials or the production, they are the best choice, even if the minister sees it, he will drool." ”
Tang Ning muttered softly: "Last time, the emperor gave the banquet and the ministers were looking forward to it with joy, who would have thought that the emperor would be so picky!" ”
The emperor almost squirted when he heard this, and scolded with a smile: "Is that a pick?" If it is true that if the feast is used for three things, my treasury will be eaten poor! ”
Lord Rong laughed softly on the side, but in his heart he was surprised that Tang Ning would talk to the emperor like this, and the emperor was not annoyed at all.
After the eunuch tried the food, the pavilion became quiet. Lord Rong was still thinking about why the emperor would summon him and Tang Ning alone today.
Tang Ning was a little heartless and enjoyed the food.
After lunch, the emperor took Tang Ning and Lord Rong to move to the pavilion outside, and the emperor invited Lord Rong to sit, but Tang Ning was still standing.
Gao Feng came up to serve tea, but there was still no Tang Ning's share.
What are you doing today? Tang Ning secretly complained in his heart.
The emperor used tea, and looked at Rong Dadaodao: "Rong Aiqing, Tang Ning entered the realm of eight grades at a young age, that is the leader of the younger generation of my dynasty, and what is even more rare is that he is familiar with the art of war and has outstanding military affairs!" ”
"can also chant a few crooked poems, which can be regarded as both civil and military. Now that Tang Ning has reached the age when it is time to get married, I will make the decision for him today and ask Rong Aiqing for marriage. I don't know what Rong Aiqing thinks? ”
Lord Rong never expected that the emperor would summon him today, and it would be for Tang Ning to ask for his wife, and Lord Rong was very shocked.
Lord Rong glanced sideways at Tang Ning and found that Tang Ning looked shocked, obviously not knowing about it in advance.
Although Lord Rong never thought of marrying his daughter to a martial artist, he was willing to do so.
First, this is the emperor personally asking for Tang Ning's marriage, and he has no room for refusal. Second, Tang Ning is also different from ordinary martial artists, and his poetry has already spread throughout the Great Zhou. Thirdly, he also knew that Lin Lan and Tang Ning had a good relationship, which showed that the two had similar temperaments.
Lord Rong smiled and said: "General Tang is both civil and military, he is a talent for a while, but Xuan is rough and coarse, and I don't know General Tang's ......."
Hearing this, the emperor looked at Donny with a smile and said, "Tang Ning? ”
Tang Ning saluted with a smile and said: "Miss Rong is both talented and beautiful, and the minister has been longing for a long time, if he can marry Miss Rong as his wife, the minister will be fortunate in his life." ”
The Emperor laughed and said, "Okay, this is really a match made in heaven!" I will make a decree to marry soon! ”
Tang Ning was still in a trance when he returned to the mansion, and he was a little confused by so many major events that had happened one after another recently.
Also without warning, the emperor suddenly gave him a marriage without even asking his opinion.
Maybe the emperor knew that Tang Ning was originally familiar with Rong Xuan, so he thought it was a good marriage.
It's just that now Tang Ning feels a little embarrassed, the Rong Mansion lives behind his courtyard, shouldn't he come to visit?
The emperor hasn't decreed the marriage yet, isn't it a little too urgent to visit? What should I bring?
For a while, Tang Ning was really worried.
I don't know how Rong Xuan will react after knowing this. At the beginning, Lin Lan often teased Rong Xuan about him, but he didn't expect it to become a prophecy.
