Chapter 260: Marriage
King An suddenly asked for marriage, but said that he didn't have a favorite girl, only said that God would choose for him, and asked three such ordinary questions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Many people secretly laughed in their hearts, they could more or less guess King An's intentions in doing this, but they didn't dare to agree with King An's methods.
I'm afraid that tonight is destined to disappoint King An.
This was the thought in the minds of many courtiers.
Who knew that things took a turn for the worse, and there was really someone whose answer was exactly the same as that of King An, and this person was also the granddaughter of the eldest princess of Fuyun, who appeared for the first time in the noble circle of the capital, and the emperor was the newly crowned lord of Lanxin last year.
Is King An's luck too good, or is there something else strange in it, Many people present suddenly turned a lot of thoughts in their hearts.
At this moment, the emperor and the queen mother didn't have the heart to think about anything else, they were quickly thinking about what reason they should use to refuse this inexplicable marriage.
The Queen Mother first frowned and looked at the eldest princess Fuyun behind her, and saw that she was also stunned, the surprise in her eyes was very obvious, and she was slightly relieved.
As long as it wasn't planned in advance by the eldest princess Fuyun and Qi Chenjing.
She gave the emperor a look.
The emperor will come to his senses, and said to Qi Chenjing, who was kneeling on one knee, with a faint smile: "King An is too reckless, the answer of the county lord of Lanxin is the same as yours, you can't ask me for marriage directly, you always have to ask your aunt and grandmother and the meaning of the county lord of Lanxin himself, besides, I just said that the queen mother also has to check for you." ”
What he meant was that someone's answer was the same as Qi Chenjing's, and the Queen Mother had to review it to see if the girl from that family was qualified to become a princess, but now Kang Yan's answer was exactly the same as Qi Chenjing's. In front of the eldest princess Fuyun, it was not good for the emperor to directly repeat what he had just said. But now, there is no other way. I had to excuse myself and didn't ask the woman's opinion.
He can't say in front of the eldest princess Fuyun that Kang Yan is not qualified to be Princess An, right?
The emperor knew in his heart that if he dared to show such a meaning, the eldest princess Fuyun would immediately take the case.
Now that the Chen family and King An's mansion have a disagreement, the daughter of the Chen family is married to the guards around King An, presumably the eldest princess of Fuyun will definitely not agree to her granddaughter remarrying Qi Chenjing.
Qi Chenjing turned his head and looked at the eldest princess Fuyun with a sincere face, "Grandmother, speaking of which, the county lord and I are also cousins. Today's answer to the county lord is cleverly consistent with mine, indicating that we are destined, if we can get the county lord as a wife, I will definitely do my best to be good to her, cherish and love her for a lifetime, and ask my aunt and grandmother to fulfill it. ”
Kang Yan got up and avoided behind the eldest princess Fuyun, but her eyes quietly roamed over the queen mother and the emperor, and she wondered if they would agree. Or will they use some tricks to evade this.
The emperor didn't expect Qi Chenjing to turn around and swear to the eldest princess of Fuyun without blinking, and his face turned black all of a sudden.
It seems that Qi Chenjing is in a hurry to get this family affair in his hands.
The eldest princess of Fuyun frowned, her face was a little reluctant, and she stared straight at Qi Chenjing. It seems very reluctant.
The emperor's reprimand for Qi Chenjing was stuck in his throat and he didn't say it.
He wanted to see the attitude of the eldest princess Fuyun.
But the eldest princess of Fuyun stared at Qi Chenjing tightly for a long time, and suddenly sighed. Said: "That's it, everything is fate." The emperor will fulfill them. ”
Her words were quick and steady, though they still showed a look of reluctance. But he was still relieved, which was equivalent to agreeing to the marriage.
The eldest princess of Fuyun spoke too fast, and by the time the emperor reacted, her words had already been finished.
He was completely stunned.
Both men and women agreed, what reason did he, the emperor, have to disagree, if he insisted on disagreeing, the courtiers would naturally think that he was the emperor's brother who was afraid of King An and deliberately suppressed King An.
A hint of gloom flashed in the emperor's eyes.
After Liu Yushi and Wang Yushi, who were witnesses here, heard the consent of the eldest princess Fuyun, their faces showed relaxed and joyful requests, and they arched their hands to the emperor and said: "It seems that King An is really touched by the joy of the queen mother today, and the royal family is happy, which is gratifying." ‘
The emperor almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood, these two annoying imperial historians wanted to directly confirm Qi Chenjing's family affairs, he hadn't even opened his mouth to give marriage, congratulations here, it's too much.
Not to mention the anger in the emperor's heart, the queen mother looked at the situation from above, and knew that the emperor was put on the throne, and now she will not give marriage at all.
Although she was angry in her heart, she secretly hated the sudden change of mind of the eldest princess Fuyun, obviously she didn't want to agree to the relationship between these two people before, why did she change in the blink of an eye?
But the current situation didn't allow her to think so much, the queen mother rolled her eyes, touched her forehead with her hand, and wanted to pretend to have a headache and faint.
As long as she faints, the emperor can pass this matter in the name of the imperial doctor.
As soon as her hand touched her forehead, she stood up and was about to fall backwards, she knew that Sun Zhong behind her would lead someone to hold her, even if she fell backwards, she would definitely not fall to the ground, she had already had skillful experience after so many years.
How do you know that before she fell backwards, her arm was grabbed by a force, "Don't be excited, Queen Mother, King An's marriage is decided, and you have another daughter-in-law who is filial, although this is a good thing, you also have to take care of your body." ”
The eldest princess Fuyun pulled the queen mother with a smile, looking very concerned about the queen mother's body, but in fact, the fingernails she held the queen mother were tightly pierced into her flesh through her clothes.
The painful Queen Mother's eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled together, but she didn't dare to shake off the eldest princess Fuyun, nor did she dare to cry out in pain.
Now everyone's eyes are on the two of them.
If she moved, all the efforts she had done with the emperor in those days would be in vain.
The Queen Mother could only stand upright, the corners of her mouth twitching, but she couldn't say what she wanted to express.
The courtiers below had Liu Yushi and Wang Yushi taking the lead, and many people came out one after another to say congratulations. For a while, congratulations were heard.
The emperor closed his eyes, and he didn't understand how today's events happened. Which link did he ignore, and why did he let Qi Chenjing take advantage of it?
So far. If you don't give marriage, you have to give marriage.
The emperor gritted his teeth and announced, "......... The county lord of Lanxin and the king of An, Qi Chenjing, will always marry the good of Qin and Jin, and I hope that the husband and wife will raise their eyebrows and respect each other like guests......."
The wedding was scheduled for the third day of the third month of March.
Kang Yeon's clenched fist finally let go.
She stood up and kowtowed with Qi Chenjing to thank her.
The matter of the county lord of Lanxin and the king of An, Qi Chenjing, was settled on the spot.
This incident happened too suddenly, not to mention the emperor and the queen mother, all the ministers present felt like child's play, how could King An's family affairs be decided in a blink of an eye.
But there are always careful people who have found something unusual in it after careful consideration, and Qi Chenjing, the king of An, will definitely not be as heartless as he appears on the outside.
For a while, many courtiers' thoughts on Qi Chenjing changed.
The Queen Mother's birthday opened in a jubilant mood. It ended in an eerie slump.
On the second day, the news of the Queen Mother's illness came out of the palace.
At the same time, it was not only the queen mother who fell ill, but also the eldest prince, yesterday's birthday banquet palace was lively, and the eldest prince, who was less than three years old, was too late to be infected with wind chill and launched a high fever.
The eldest prince is the only heir under the emperor's knees, and as soon as he fell ill, the emperor was immediately anxious, and kept sending the imperial doctor to go in to diagnose the eldest prince.
The Queen Mother and the Great Prince fell ill at the same time. The emperor has no energy to take care of Qi Chenjing's affairs for the time being.
And the Ministry of Rites has already begun to handle the matter of King An's marriage.
Qi Chenjing is the only prince of Daliang, and the object of marriage is the only granddaughter of the eldest princess Fuyun.
Hired. Money, name, Najib. After the invitation and other ceremonies were done, it was already the end of November. The family affairs of Qi Chenjing, the king of An, and Kang Yan, the lord of Lanxin, were officially decided.
Kang Yeon's heart that had been hanging finally relaxed.
When she was hired, she finally seized the opportunity to meet Qi Chenjing. Speaking of the events on the Queen Mother's birthday, I still had lingering palpitations, "Why are you so bold, this matter was not discussed with my grandmother in advance, and I directly mentioned it under the birthday of the Queen Mother." ”
Qi Chenjing stared at her with bright eyes, and there was joy in his eyes that could not be ignored, showing that he was in a very happy mood.
Facing Kang Yan's anger, the corners of his mouth curled, "This kind of thing can't be said when going to the court, and when the court goes down, the queen mother and the emperor won't allow me, I think about it, only on the day of the queen mother's birthday, in front of the ministers, they care about face, we can only have the possibility of success, and if we don't discuss with my aunt and grandmother, her expression will feel surprised and stunned, so that the cunning queen mother can relax her vigilance, this matter, we can only gamble." ”
In fact, Kang Yan also understood what Qi Chenjing said, as soon as Qi Chenjing opened her mouth that day, she thought about it clearly, after all, the eldest princess Fuyun's training of her for half a year was not taught in vain.
It's one thing to just understand intellectually, it's another thing to worry emotionally.
"Even so, you should have revealed a little bit of news to me in advance, and suddenly asked such a question at the meeting, I was not prepared at all, and you are not afraid that my answer will be different from yours, in case my answer is different from yours, wouldn't it be in vain for you, and it will be difficult to find such an opportunity next time." Kang Yan thought about it and felt that Qi Chenjing's actions were too risky.
If her answer was really different from Qi Chenjing's, wouldn't he have made a big joke that day, I'm afraid that when others mention Qi Chenjing in the future, they will talk about his self-defeating marriage proposal.
Qi Chenjing stretched out his long arms and pulled Kang Yan into his arms, looking at Kang Yan's slightly frowning brows and the fear in her eyes, she couldn't help but kiss her on the eyebrows, and joked with a smile, "What, are you worried that you won't be able to marry me?" ”
Kang Yan was startled, and subconsciously pushed him, "Oh, what are you doing, if others see it, there will be gossip carefully." ”
Today he is here to hire, there are officials from the Ministry of Etiquette, people from King An's Mansion, and the Kang family is the Duchess of Ning Guo, and Kang Yan's aunt is personally entertaining with people.
At home, the Kang family, the palace, the officials, and the Anwang Mansion. The Chen family is full of people. If someone else sees it, maybe some gossip will come out.
Qi Chenjing didn't care. Kang Yan's hand strength didn't bother him at all, and he trapped her in his arms without moving, "What are you afraid of, you are now my future princess, who dares to gossip?" ”
The domineering and insistence between the words made Kang Yan couldn't help but glance at him, and finally gave up the struggle and nestled in his arms for him to hold.
After a long time, she muttered in a low voice, "Finally, you don't have to meet again at night in the future, right?" ”
Qi Chenjing was stunned. Then he laughed, and couldn't help hugging Kang Yan and kissing him again, "If you want me to come at night, you should obey your husband's orders." ”
Kang Yan's cheeks turned red, and she slapped him a few times angrily.
Qi Chenjing clenched her big hand, caught her pink fist, held it in her hand and rubbed it carefully, her forehead against Kang Yan's forehead, and there was a hint of hoarseness in her low voice. "Yan'er, we are finally married, you will be my wife in the future, and I will definitely be good to you. Always, don't be afraid. ”
In his previous life, he had been fighting for that high position, until he was plotted by the eldest prince to die in Chongfu Temple. He hadn't even had time to feel the love between men and women, so he never knew who he liked. Trying to create a home for her, trying to get closer to her just to marry her is so subtle and intoxicating.
He was afraid that Kang Yan's heart still had lingering palpitations about the things in his previous life. That's why she said such a promise, she didn't want Kang Yeon to have any shadow in her heart.
Kang Yeon's nose was inexplicably sour, and tears almost fell.
She pressed against Qi Chenjing's forehead, and only after a while did she hum heavily, "I will be good to you too." ”
Qi Chenjing's dark eyes lit up, happy and bright.
When it was time to leave, Qi Chenjing told Kang Yan, "...... Even if the answer of the day is different from mine, in the end Liu Yushi will announce the same answer, I have already written a few different versions of the answer to Liu Yushi, and the subsequent result will definitely be what we want, however, I believe in the tacit understanding between us, you really did not disappoint me, Yan'er. ”
Looking at Qi Chenjing's back as he strode away, Kang Yan smiled dumbly.
Did Liu Yushi and Wang Yushi already become his people?
When did it happen? Didn't you say that these two people were like the stones in the pit that stinked and were hard? How did Qi Chenjing overcome these two people and take them down?
Even prepared several different versions of the answer for Liu Yushi?
Presumably on that day, if the emperor still has to tighten his teeth in the end and insist on refusing to give marriage, I am afraid that Liu Yushi and Wang Yushi will be able to do something on the spot accusing the emperor of not keeping his promises.
In the end, the emperor still had to open his mouth to marry due to the situation.
Although this method will make the relationship between Qi Chenjing and the Queen Mother and the emperor more deadlocked, Qi Chenjing is right, even if he doesn't do anything, they will not look at him pleasing to the eye, and still treat him as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.
Behind this incident, Qi Chenjing's efforts and arrangements were definitely not just arrangements for the day of the banquet, and he didn't know how much he had paid for it.
The two made a marriage, and Qi Chenjing could ascend the door of the Kang family in a bright and bright way from now on, but on the Chen family's side, they still didn't have much contact on the surface.
After the appointment, the second thing Qi Chenjing did was to bring Heng'er, who he had been talking about, to the Kang family and show it to Kang Yan.
Kang Yeon fell in love with the little boy in front of her almost at first sight.
Heng'er, who is almost one and a half years old, walks very steadily, with a round face, clever eyes, and six small teeth when she smiles, which is very cute.
When he called Kang Yanniang in a soft voice, Kang Yan couldn't help but be excited and hugged him.
She seemed to see Ning'er in her previous life, her small body ran into her arms, and she shouted lovingly, "Mother, I'm hungry, mother, I want to eat snacks." ”
Kang Yan transferred the pent-up emotions of missing Ning'er in her heart to Heng'er in front of her at once.
Ignoring the surprised eyes of the maids around her, she gently hugged him and sang, fed him with her own hands, and dressed him, as if she had returned to the years when she took care of Ning'er with her own hands in her previous life.
Qi Chenjing was on the side, looking at the big and small in front of him with a gentle gaze like water.
It wasn't until Heng'er fell asleep that Qi Chenjing carried him to sleep on the couch, and then whispered to Kang Yan: "I want Heng'er to be surnamed Su, put it in my father's name, well, in the name of his grandson, so that he can have an incense inheritance in the future." ”
Su Jin only had one son, Su Chenjing, and now he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors. Su Jin's incense is equivalent to being broken, and now the emperor has decreed that the title of the Su family will be restored. Second Master Su attacked Pingbeihou's position.
Although Second Master Su was raised by Mrs. Su, he was not her biological son in the end. The biological son is infertile, and the incense has been cut off since then, but I am afraid that Mrs. Su's heart must be very uncomfortable.
There is also Su Jin's wife Ding, in the end, Mrs. Su raised the second master Su single-handedly, and they will always have to provide for Mrs. Su in the future, but Ding is lonely.
However, Su Shilang, the youngest son of the second room of the Su family, is sixteen years old this year, and is no longer suitable for succession, and the concubine Wulang of the third room of the Su family is six years old this year, and the age is appropriate. However, thinking of the appearance of the Su family's third room, Qi Chenjing didn't want the children of the Su family's third room to come to the long room.
Rather than that, it is better to succeed Heng'er raised by him.
Kang Yan was silent for a long time before she said, "It's okay, when the old ladies and they arrive in the capital, you can ask them what they mean." ”
The emperor previously restored the title of the Su family, and let the Su family enter the capital to thank him, counting the days, the Su family must be about to arrive in the capital. Although the emperor did not explicitly stipulate the time for thanksgiving, Mrs. Su would try her best to delay it, but it was not good to delay it all the time, and now it has been almost two months. The Su family must be here soon.
Qi Chenjing nodded, "However, even if Heng'er is surnamed Su." He still has to grow up in front of us, and we will raise him personally. ”
Maybe they have a relationship with this child.
Kang Yan naturally has no objections.
At the end of November. The Su family finally arrived in the capital, along with Mr. Yan and Qing Yan and the two sons of the Yan family.
Second Master Su attacked the previous title of Pingbei Hou. The Su family still lives in the Pingbei Houfu returned by the imperial court, but in the end, because there are no people living in it for two years, there is a lot of dilapidation inside, and it takes a lot of effort to repair it.
The Yan family bought a house in the south of the city, and Yan Ming settled down first, and then brought his family to the capital when the spring warmed up next year.
Mr. Yan still opened a bookstore in Nancheng, teaching and educating people, and on the surface, the Yan family had no contact with several other families.
However, because Mr. Yan was a world-famous Confucian, and most of his students were officials in the court, after the news of his coming to the capital to open a library spread, there was an endless stream of students who came to visit Mr. Yan every day.
Mr. Yan met them one by one, chatted with them about family life, and discussed some facts, which made many of his students say that they have benefited a lot, and there are even more people who come to visit from time to time.
As soon as the number of people visited, the number of students in the bookstore opened by Mr. Yan increased, and many of them were the children of eunuchs living in the east or west of the city, who quit the academy arranged by their families and came to study with Mr. Yan.
For a time, Mr. Yan's newly opened bookstore became a hot bookstore in Beijing.
After the Su family settled down, Qi Chenjing personally went to see Mrs. Su and told her what Heng'er meant by Su, but Mrs. Su was silent for a long time, but finally agreed.
So Heng'er officially named Su Yueheng and became the first grandson of the Su family.
And after twists and turns, the Su family finally moved back to the capital again, the second room of the Su family is fine, Su Erlang has become the prince of Pingbei, Su Shilang has been studying with Mr. Yan, although the second room family has become the real owner of the Hou Mansion, but the behavior is quite low-key, except for Wei's secret thinking about the marriage of the two sons every day, and wants to marry a capable wife for his son as soon as possible.
The third room of the Su family is different, and the third master of Su San, who finally returned to the prosperous place of the capital, completely forgot the stern warning of Mrs. Su before entering Beijing, and found an excuse to go out all day long, nostalgic for the gentle township, drinking and having fun, and indulging.
And Su San's wife Yang began a busy life, they have been away from the capital for more than a year and a half, many people in the capital have been blurred, she now has to get familiar with it as soon as possible, and then find a reliable family for her two children.
Kang Yan didn't know about the Su family.
After the wedding date was set, except for the occasional visit to her Tianxiangyuan, she spent the rest of the time at home preparing the dowry, or went to the Chen family of the Ningguo Mansion to visit her grandmother and several aunts.
Her Tianxiangyuan opened in early November, although it is not very famous now, but people who have been there feel that the scenery is very beautiful, it is a good place, after a long time, the signboard of Tianxiangyuan will definitely be able to play out.
And as soon as she had time, she grabbed Xiao Jiu and began to teach Xiao Jiu some things about general affairs, her wedding date was approaching, she couldn't marry the Kang family's property to King An's Mansion, it was time to start letting Xiao Jiu take over everything. (To be continued.) )
