Chapter 70: I can't tell if I have suffering
This holy decree came suddenly, but the eldest lady was busy, busy inside and out, on one side was Yuan Yatou's wedding, and on the other side was her own. When I first came to the hall, I had a sad face, I didn't look at such a good phoenix crown, but now it's good, in addition to teaching Yuan Yatou some royal etiquette, I went out shopping, bought jewelry, rouge gouache, and bought silk to make clothes, and I was very busy.
The first holy decree was that when Ma Chao helped the prince get the picture of the Thunderbolt artillery, he made a request to the prince, and he secretly had an agreement with the emperor. This second decree came too suddenly, so Ma Chao went to the prince and asked for an understanding. The prince said that when he brought it up with his father, his father asked him very much, so he told His Majesty the truth, and this truth was of course the matter of the eldest lady and Ma Chao's husband and wife.
The prince also said that he was still a little worried at the time, but he didn't expect that his father would take into account the idea of appeasing the heart of the Duke of Qingguo, so he agreed to the prince's request, and also drafted another holy decree, which contributed to the happy marriage of the eldest lady and Ma Chao. Ma Chao can't say it now, this is originally a statement, but he didn't expect to be taken seriously by the prince and the emperor.
In desperation, Ma Chao had no choice but to kneel down and thank him, and the prince asked Ma Chao why he was thankful for this happy event. Ma Chao said that he rescued Ma Pole in the Secret Pavilion that day, and a big man was involved. The prince said how big it was, Ma Chao lowered his head and replied, not as big as the prince.
The prince laughed when he heard it, and praised Ma Chao's good skills, he just got a little rumor, and a few people who pretended to be eagle keepers were related to King Xu, and Ma Chao found King Xu. Ma Chao listened to the means to really admire the prince, Ma Chao said that the big man was Wanyan Yunyi.
The prince asked Ma Chao to prepare and participate in a banquet between brothers as a horse doctor in the East Palace. Because of this matter, the prince made an appointment with Wanyan Yunzhong, King Xu Wanyan Yunji, and King Wanyan Yongji to race horses in the suburbs.
Wanyan Yunzhong is the fourth prince, but in fact he is the second, the prince's mother, Wulinda, that is, Empress Zhaode, gave birth to three sons and a daughter for His Majesty, except for the prince, those two sons died early. Wanyan Yunzhong was born to the Yuan Concubine Zhang, with a low status, honest and honest, and was quite unpopular in the court. The sixth Wanyan Yunji and the seventh Wanyan Yongji are the sons of the Yuan Concubine Li, and the Li family is now in charge of the harem, so Wanyan Yunji and Wanyan Yongji are quite popular in the court.
These four people want to race horses together, ostensibly to describe brotherhood, but in fact it is a kind of competition in secret confrontation. This time, Ma Chao will participate as a horse doctor in the East Palace, although his status is low, but he is also an indispensable role, and he needs to stand in front and always pay attention to the situation of the horses in the horse race. The prince arranged Ma Chao in this position, so that Ma Chao could observe Yan Yunju at close range.
……
There are still a few days left in the horse race, and Ma Chao wants to talk to the eldest lady about the marriage of the two. Before looking for the eldest lady, the eldest lady came by herself, and the shop with a silk shop tailored for the horse. The eldest lady smiled and said to Ma Chao that marrying Ma Chao was already very aggrieved, so let Ma Chao not dress too cold. Ma Chao agreed with a bitter face, not knowing how to explain.
The eldest lady saw that Ma Chao's face was not good, so she asked Ma Chao if he was not feeling well, and Ma Chao said that he was a little tired recently. The eldest lady said coquettishly, let Ma Chao make a poem for her and she will leave, Ma Chao was coquettish by the eldest lady, made her dizzy, and felt that the eldest lady was still free and easy, which was the real me.
However, Ma Chao couldn't refuse the eldest lady, so he picked up his memory and said a song randomly.
The moon hangs in the sky and the night is cold, and the light is bright and the shadows are bright.
The poet often thinks about playing, and the wild guest can't bear to watch.
The jade mirror is hung on the side of the jade building, and the ice tray is hung outside the pearl curtain.
What is the use of burning silver candles in a good night, and the brilliant reflection column of the sunshine.
The eldest lady was very happy to hear it, and she silently read it a few times, saying that this poem is good, especially why burn silver candles in that good night, she wants to go back and think about it. Ma Chao said perfunctorily, you go back and think slowly. The eldest lady said goodbye happily, walked halfway, and came back again, asking Ma Chao, I don't need to light candles at night, do you think I'm too luxurious.
Ma Chao's explanation became more and more unclear, and he was distressed!
During this period, the old man Wang Bo also came from Huining Mansion, which gave Ma Chao a headache, and always felt that there was a tendency to rush things, Wang Wu was not out of the house, and the meals were sent to the maid into the house, and the old man Wang Bo came to ask, and Ma Chao didn't know how to answer.
Just thinking about it, Old Man Wang Bo sent a message to see Ma Chao and Wang Wu. Ma Chao helplessly went to find Wang Wu, and shouted a few times outside, Wang Wu didn't squeak like a dead man, Ma Chao rushed in, and found that Wang Wu was practicing his inner family qi with his eyes closed, and his body felt a hazy fog-like feeling.
Even if Ma Chao doesn't know how to be angry, he knows that Wang Wu has reached a bottleneck and is trying to break through himself. Ma Chao quietly retreated, found the horse pole to help Wang Wu guard, and went to see the old man Wang Bo himself. Ma Chao kowtowed to the old man Wang Bo to make amends, Wang Bo stroked his beard and asked with a smile, what is Ma Chao's crime, Ma Chao said that he wanted to help the eldest lady dissolve the marriage contract, but it turned out to be self-defeating, and His Majesty gave the eldest lady to me.
Old man Wang Bo said that it didn't matter, anyway, he and Ma Yutang had jokes when they were young, and the children of the two families had already been married, Ma Chao opened his mouth wide, feeling that this marriage would not be opened. Ma Chao wants to find someone he loves, but in ancient times, love was a very small thing, and in the case of male superiority and inferiority, men may like to like their wives and concubines, but there is rarely such an existence as monogamy.
In the opinion of Mr. Wang Bo, Ma Chao's future is unlimited, and his daughter marrying Ma Chao will not treat his daughter badly. So Wang Bo didn't want to oppose this family business.
Ma Chao still wanted to say, but the old man Wang Bo changed the topic, did the smiling Ma Chao really enter the Secret Pavilion, Ma Chao said that he did enter, and the fire was also put by himself. Wang Bo laughed when he heard this, the people in the Privy Council had calculated all their lives, and finally they were calculated by a yellow-mouthed child. Ma Chao didn't speak, and Old Man Wang Bo asked, have you seen your own file? Ma Chao was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't show any flaws on the surface, so he said that he didn't think so much about it at that time.
Old man Wang Bo sighed and said, since the file is gone, when I meet His Majesty at night, I should also talk about some old things. Ma Chao sighed and said that you and Your Majesty will talk about the wedding. Old man Wang Bo became angry when he heard this, and said Isn't Ziwei worthy of you? After speaking, he blasted Ma Chao out, which made Ma Chao embarrassed.
But I saw Mo Yu outside, Mo Yu smiled sweetly, Ma Chao said in surprise, why are you here too, Mo Yu said that recently the old man Wang Bo asked her to serve and teach her some deductions in the art of war, and when he came to the capital, the old man Wang Bo brought her too.
After hearing this, Ma Chao pondered, there must be something that he can't see, Wang Bo seems to have gone too far.
