Chapter 214: Pick One
"Take your pick!" I saw Pei Lin suddenly take out two holy decrees from his arms, and then said side by side in front of Li Xiu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Elect...... What to choose? Li Xiu looked at the two holy decrees in front of him and was a little confused, could it be that the holy decree could also be like a vegetable in the vegetable market, let others choose? It was something he had never heard of.
"These two holy decrees have different contents, you must choose one of them, this is what Your Majesty meant, I actually came today to deliver the decree!" Pei Lin also said a little seriously at this time, this is the real purpose of his coming here.
"Can you not choose?" Li Xiu had a hunch that the contents of these two holy decrees were not good for him.
"If you don't choose, you will resist the decree!" Pei Xiao said with a serious expression, if Li Xiu could listen to his persuasion before, he might still have a way to help him, but now he had to let him make a choice.
Hearing this, Li Xiu had no choice but to look at the two holy decrees in front of him helplessly, hesitated for a moment before picking up the holy decree on the right and opening it, and when he saw the content on it, he stood up in shock, and then said to Pei Lin with an annoyed face: "Marriage?" Your Majesty wants to give me a marriage? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty also has a love for you, and I can't bear to ruin your future because of the incident with Princess Pingyang, so I simply gave you a marriage, and after you get married, I will naturally die of the idea of marrying Princess Pingyang!" Pei Lin suddenly said helplessly at this time, Li Yuan was unwilling to be this wicked person, and others should not know about Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang, so he could only run by himself, of course, he also wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Li Xiu, but unfortunately his previous words failed to persuade Li Xiu.
"I ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, he never expected that Li Yuan would want to cut off his contact with Princess Pingyang as soon as possible because he cherished his talent, if he knew this, he shouldn't have made any plans to stabilize the grassland in front of Li Yuan before, this is simply lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot!
"Okay, don't be too angry, you can get so much attention from Your Majesty, you are also the first person since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, even the old man has not been treated like you, and the person who gave the marriage is also considered to be related to you, that lady was sent to your door by Pei Ju, if you don't marry her, I'm afraid she won't be able to marry in her life, and now the marriage to you can be regarded as a good home, speaking of which, the old man's daughter is either married, or she is too young, otherwise you will have to rob your son-in-law, It's a pity that it's cheaper now. ”
When Pei Lin said the end, he couldn't help but show a pity expression, he really had such an idea, after all, a son-in-law like Li Xiu was not easy to find.
When Li Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and looked at the content of the holy decree, Yi Niang's name was written on it, and there were some descriptions of virtuous and virtuous virtues in the back, and finally said that Li Xiu was a match made in heaven, and he hereby gave marriage and so on, what Li Yuan said when he passed by Yi Niang's house yesterday is probably a temptation for Li Xiu.
"And what is written on this decree below?" Fortunately, Li Xiu is not without other choices, at least there is a holy decree below, but I don't know what this holy decree is, should it be to let himself enter the court as an official?
"Hehe, can't you see for yourself?" Pei Lin smiled again, he was looking forward to what Li Xiu would choose after reading the two holy decrees?
"Is this holy decree that His Majesty wants me to enter the court as an official?" Li Xiu did not pick up the holy decree, but asked again, after Li Yuan saw him yesterday, he kept forcing him to enter the court as an official, but he rejected it, so he guessed that the content of the holy decree was probably this, and even he suspected that Li Yuan's purpose was not to give him marriage at all, but to force him to enter the court as an official by this method.
For Li Xiu's question, Pei Lin did not answer, but signaled him to look at the holy decree himself, but the smile on his face carried an indescribable meaning, which made Li Xiu's heart even more worried, and he didn't dare to look at this holy decree for a while, but in the end, he finally gritted his teeth and picked up the holy decree and opened it.
Li Xiu thought that this was a holy decree of the official, but it turned out that he really thought too much, because this was still a holy decree for marriage, but the object of marriage was not Yi Niang, but a princess, titled Princess Wanchun, and what made Li Xiu even more speechless was that the content of these two holy decrees was almost identical, just changed the name of the woman who gave the marriage.
"Hehe, look at how thoughtful Your Majesty is, he is worried that you will dislike that Yi Niang's background is too low, or that you prefer my princess of the Tang Dynasty, so he will marry your other beloved daughter, so that although you have lost Princess Pingyang, you have gained another princess, and it is not a loss!" Pei Lin spoke again at this time, but his words were full of filthy taste.
"Hmph, does Your Majesty have to watch me get married to be willing?" Li Xiu was also a little annoyed at this time, and slapped the holy decree on the table and said, at this time, he was also angry, whether to marry or not is his own private matter, why should he be at the mercy of others?
"You're really right, only when you get married, will you die the heart of marrying Princess Pingyang, and I'm not afraid that you will make any more trouble in the future, and even I can tell you clearly, even if you still have a relationship with Princess Pingyang after marriage, even if even the child is born, Your Majesty will not say anything, but you can't destroy Princess Pingyang's marriage, and it is impossible for you to marry her openly." Pei Lin said with a cold face, it was rare for him to speak so thoroughly, and the purpose was naturally to make Li Xiu accept the arrangement of the imperial court and obediently choose a woman to marry.
"Even if I marry, doesn't Your Majesty cherish my talent? But if he forces me to marry now, it will only make me hold a grudge for the rest of my life, let alone let me be used by him in the future! Li Xiu also let go at this time, and even said such a big rebellious thing about hating Li Yuan.
"Hahahaha~, Li Xiu, you are still too young, do you think you can stop doing it if you don't want to, for example, the old man has encountered too many things that he doesn't want to do for most of his life, but in the end he still has to do it." When Pei Lin said the end, there was also a bit of emotion in his tone, nine times out of ten things are unsatisfactory in life, this is the truth.
Li Xiu didn't know what to say when he heard this, because he also deeply understood Pei Lian's words, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he had encountered many things that people didn't want to do but had to do.
"And what if I don't choose either?" Li Xiu finally gritted his teeth again and said that he was not willing to give up Princess Pingyang no matter what, let alone marry a woman other than Princess Pingyang.
"I have made it very clear just now, if you don't choose it, it will be a rebellion, don't forget that you are an official, disobeying the holy decree is a serious crime, don't say it then, even your family will be affected!" When Pei Lin said this, he also deliberately glanced in the direction of Li Xiu's inner house, he knew that Li Xiu had an extremely doted sister, and for the sake of his sister, he probably didn't dare to resist the order.
"You ......" Li Xiu naturally understood what Pei Lin meant, and he couldn't help but be angry at the moment, but there was no way, if he was alone, I am afraid that he would not accept the holy decree anyway, but now he had to consider Qi Niang's safety.
On the one hand, the happiness and agreement between himself and his loved one, and on the other hand, the safety of his only sister, Li Xiu couldn't make a choice for a while, Pei Lin was not in a hurry, just sat there quietly and drank tea, he believed that Li Xiu would make a correct choice.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard a light footstep outside the door, and then I saw a beautiful woman in a fur coat walking into the hall, and at the same time said in a somewhat disgusted tone: "Li Xiu, why did you let your father drink so much wine, his health is not good, in case ...... Hmm~"
The woman who came in was Princess Pingyang, and she came to Li Xiu to ask for the guilt of Li Yuan's drunkenness yesterday, but she was only halfway through the sentence, but she found out that Li Xiu actually had a guest here, and she actually knew this person.
"Uncle Pei, why are you here?" Princess Pingyang was stunned at first when she saw Pei Lian, and then asked with some surprise, Pei Lian is Li Yuan's old friend, and she used to go to Li Yuan's house to drink, Princess Pingyang naturally knows him, although the identities of the two have changed a lot now, but she is still commensurate with her old name, which is a bit similar to Li Yuan.
A "Uncle Pei" also made Pei Lin seem to have returned to the time many years ago, but he immediately came to his senses, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "The old minister sees the princess!" ”
Princess Pingyang was first surprised by Pei Lian's appearance, and then thought that her father had also come to Li Xiu yesterday, which made her suddenly have a bad premonition, and then she saw the two holy decrees on the table, and asked puzzledly: "Uncle Pei, why are there two holy decrees here, are you here to pass on the decree to Li Xiu?" ”
"This ......" Pei Lin didn't know what to say for a while, if Princess Pingyang knew that these two holy decrees were for Li Xiu's marriage, I don't know how she would react?
Li Xiu didn't expect Princess Pingyang to come, and he didn't know how to tell her about it at the moment, so he could only smile bitterly in desperation, although Princess Pingyang was very favored by Li Yuan, but I am afraid that it would not be able to change the outcome of this matter.
Seeing the wry smile on Li Xiu's face, Princess Pingyang felt even more bad, and immediately strode over to pick up the holy decree and look, Pei Lin wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, she still couldn't hide it from Princess Pingyang, and her outstretched hand couldn't help but stop in mid-air, and then she sighed helplessly and shook her head, standing there and quietly watching Princess Pingyang finish reading the holy decree.
