Chapter 211: Nine Years of Breaking Snow
When the emperor heard that Ji Mingli was killed by thieves at home, he jumped to his feet on the spot in anger, and when the Manchu Dynasty saw this, no one dared to speak up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even the two brothers Zhu Yang were severely punished by the emperor, and no matter how Chen Xian pleaded, the emperor categorically wanted to send the two of them to the frontier.
After getting off the court, Chen Zhiming bowed his head to Liu Yan, and Liu Yan also nodded slightly in response, and actually kept up with his pace, which made Liu Zhengsheng almost unable to close his jaw in surprise.
Liu Zhengsheng quietly moved to his side and said, "Your Highness, where are you going?" ”
"Punishment Temple." Liu Yan paused, and then said, "Pei Chendong surrendered." ”
Liu Zhengsheng nodded, understood his behavior just now, and slowly narrowed the distance between the two and walked in the other direction.
At the gate of the palace, there was not only Chu Shenxia waiting, but also Fang Ling, the servant of the Criminal Department, although the Liu family had fallen, it still failed to affect him.
He saluted Liu Yan and said, "Your Majesty has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Liu Yan glanced at him in surprise, only to hear him say again: "The lower official knows that today's trial of the Si Xing Temple is a case from nine years ago, so he also wants to go and see it, I don't know if I can go with His Highness?" ”
Everyone looked at Liu Yan and waited for him to answer, Liu Yan was silent for a moment before bowing his head slightly in agreement.
So the four of them got into the same carriage, Chu Shenxia didn't feel anything, but the other three were afraid of an embarrassed look.
In the end, it was Chu Shenxia who spoke first: "What does Lord Chen think of Ji Mingli's killing?" ”
Chen Zhiming sighed and said: "Ji Mingli was killed last night is really unexpected, the emperor ordered the Punishment Department and the Division of Punishment Temple to investigate this matter thoroughly, I'm afraid it's not a little difficult." ”
"I also heard about this, we don't know where this Ji Mingli was hiding before, how to check?" Fang Ling nodded and agreed.
With the topic, several people forgot about the embarrassment for a while, and discussed the matter until the carriage stopped.
Outside the gate of the Punishment Temple, a carriage has long been parked, and you don't need to ask to know. It must be Pei Fu's carriage, it seems that Pei Fang will arrive early tomorrow.
The trial of the case went as smoothly as expected, and everyone stood aside and looked at each other. It seems very quiet, and everyone has someone in their hearts who can't live it. Only Chu Shenxia stood aside like a bystander, indifferent.
Out of the gate of the Punishment Temple, I saw Jing Min leaning against the wall and seemed to be waiting for someone. Liu Yan said softly: "Didn't you come to look for you?" ”
Chu Shenxia cast his gaze, Jing Min hurriedly stood up straight, took a step towards him, and said, "Can I talk to you alone?" ”
Without waiting for Chu Shenxia to speak, Liu Yan had already patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you in the carriage." ”
Jing Yan saluted Liu Yan to express his gratitude, and then motioned for Chu Shenxia to follow him to a short distance, and said as he walked, "Thank you." ”
"Thank me for what?" Chu Shenxia asked.
Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Thank you for being willing to talk to me." ”
"What the hell is Lord Jing trying to say?" Chu Shenxia looked back at the carriage. It doesn't seem to mean a long conversation.
Jing Min was about to speak, but Chu Shenxia suddenly rushed in front of him and asked, "Is the Toothless Set still in your hands?" ”
"What? Didn't you give it to me, and now you're going to go back? Jing Yan's eyes locked on his face, and he was puzzled by his expression.
Chu Shenxia's words paused for a moment, and then turned into another sentence, "I will return the Toothless Set to you, not for you to use it to do those shameful things." ”
"Shame on it?" Jing Min originally wanted to argue with him, but when he looked up at the three words of the Punishment Temple, he swallowed his words and changed his words. "I heard that the good thing between you and Banrong is approaching, will you invite me to a glass of wedding wine at that time?"
"There is no rush in this matter, if this day really comes. I'd also like to ask what I mean. Chu Shenxia said unhurriedly.
Jing Yan was a little disappointed when he heard his answer: "Okay, although you don't have the heart to invite me to a glass of wine, but I have the heart to come." If you don't send out invitations, don't blame me for being uninvited. ”
Chu Shenxia glanced at him and said, "If Lord Jing doesn't have anything else to do, I'll retreat first." ”
Jing Min watched Chu Shenxia's hurried footsteps and spit out a belated word "good".
After Chu Shenxia got into the carriage. Feeling that something was wrong, the carriage went all the way unimpeded, but it took some more time than usual, but it still did not reach the East Palace. When the curtain was lifted, I saw the carriage on the way to the market, and I couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't Your Highness going back to the East Palace?" ”
"Don't worry, let's find someone first." Liu Yan smiled mysteriously, and Chu Shenxia had goosebumps all over his body.
When the carriage drove into the street where Banrong was located, Chu Shenxia guessed Liu Yan's intentions, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness has been busy with business recently, so don't worry about these trivial matters, let's go back." ”
"No, how can this be a trifle? I don't want you to be alone all the time, and I want Banrong to be truly happy. ”
Every time Liu Yan said these words, Chu Shenxia didn't want to listen to them, and looked down at his shoes, since he had already come, he had to follow him.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Liu Yan couldn't wait to push Chu Shenxia to get out of the carriage, Chu Shenxia entered the inn, and happened to bump into Banrong who ran down the stairs, so he pulled her aside.
Banrong knew his intention in his heart, but he still pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "I just saw His Highness's carriage upstairs, and I knew that you were coming." ”
Chu Shenxia also smiled and said, "Yes, His Highness is also here." ”
"Oh? What about others? Why don't you come in? Banrong said, poking his head out to look outside, but he saw nothing.
"He wanted me to talk to you alone, so he didn't follow up." Chu Shenxia didn't know how to speak, so he kept saying vague words.
Banrong nodded, lowered his head to pick up the herbs in his hand, and pretended not to care, "Then what do you have to say to me alone?" ”
"When are you leaving?" Chu Shenxia suddenly asked such a question, and Banrong suddenly raised his head and said, "You want me to go?" ”
Chu Shenxia's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I just heard His Highness say that Mr. Xu was making trouble and wanted to leave, so ...... I just want to settle the family affair with you before he leaves. ”
After listening to his explanation, Banrong's face turned pale, and he couldn't raise his head with a smile and said, "Is your mother willing to agree to our family affairs?" ”
"Naturally, yes." Chu Shenxia paused and asked, "I only ask you, are you willing to be my wife?" ”
Banrong laughed twice, then looked away, and listened to Chu Shenxia ask again, before nodding extremely embarrassedly.
"Great! It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, tomorrow is a good day, it's better to set it for tomorrow! ”
Someone suddenly jumped out, clapping his hands very happily, which really scared the two of them, Chu Shenxia looked at Liu Yan who jumped out from behind the wall in surprise, and said with a wry smile: "Is Your Highness hiding here eavesdropping on us?" ”
"I happened to be passing by, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you have to get married quickly. I have already ordered someone to prepare the things, I will wait for this day, tomorrow the marriage will be set in the Chu Mansion in the west of the city, and the house is my congratulatory gift to the two of you. Liu Yan spoke without pause, and quickly settled the matter for the two of them.
Chu Shenxia and Banrong glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.
When Liu Yan sent someone to send the wedding dress to the inn, Xu Xi looked at his half-glowing eyes, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Evil, evil, God is really evil." ”
When Banrong heard this, he smiled disapprovingly and turned back and said, "Master, since you don't plan to tell the apprentice why, then please don't say it again, how about a wedding gift for the apprentice?" ”
Xu Xi looked at her in a daze for a long time before shaking his head and walking away.
The next day, Chu Shenxia was wearing a red robe, riding a good horse with red flowers, followed by a large sedan chair carried by eight people, and the entourage carrying the bridal gift was lined up on the street. This cheerful and festive lama's suona sound shook the earth and attracted the attention of all the people around.
"Which son is this going to get married, it's really magnificent!"
"I think this son must have been born extraordinary, you see his extraordinary bearing, it's really rare."
When the team stopped in front of the inn, there was more and more muttering around them.
"Hey, why do you want to marry a girl and live in an inn?"
"It's strange that such a son would marry a girl from an unknown source, it's really incredible."
What's more, he ran to congratulate the shopkeeper, who laughed and said, "I live so big, but I don't even have half a daughter, how can it be that my daughter is married?" ”
In the expectant eyes of everyone, a white-haired old man helped a woman in red slowly walked out of the inn, although she wore a tulle on her head, but people who were a little closer to her could still see her appearance, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really a talented woman with a beautiful woman, it's gratifying." ”
In the midst of laughter and celebration, Chu Shenxia sent Banrong into the sedan chair, met Xu Xi's tense face, bowed and saluted: "Is Mr. Xu going to the Chu Mansion with me to drink a glass of wine?" ”
Xu Xi, who was not very angry just now, suddenly snorted and said, "You kid! I'm going to marry my apprentice to you, and you still ask me if I want to have a glass of wine? ”
When Chu Shenxia heard this, he knew that what he said was not in place, which angered the old man, and he hurriedly laughed and said: "It's mine, no, don't worry about Mr. Xu, please." ”
Xu Xi glared at him, but he didn't want to ruin the happy event of Banrong, so he had to close his mouth and enter a sedan chair that came to pick him up with an old face.
The lama's suona sounded earth-shattering again, and the welcoming team slowly turned around, walking in the direction they were coming and going, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed.
