Chapter 81: Forced Marriage and Childbirth
Qingluo didn't know how to answer Gao Huan's words, and then argued: "You are strong, I don't bother to reason with you." After speaking, he tilted his head and ignored Gao Huan.
"Lord Qiyu, the special envoy of Rouran is asking to see you at the post house." An errand officer came in so that Gao Huan and Sun Teng's interrogation of Qingluo could only come to an end, and Gao Huan glanced meaningfully at her who was bowing her head and contemplating when she left.
Rouran's envoy came to convey the edict of Yu Jiulu Khan to Sun Teng, and soon the prince Ejit (Curvaceous's younger brother) will lead a team of 800 people to escort this valuable dowry from the Mobei royal court to Yecheng, and then Princess Juanmu is about to officially marry Gao Huan, and Rouran and the Eastern Wei Dynasty form an alliance.
Because Yu Jiulu had already stated before that Princess Grace would marry Gao Huan's main room, so regarding the status and status of Graceful in the palace, Lou Mingchun had already understood that the righteousness would automatically give up the position of the eldest wife, and even the house and utensils where the main room lived were all sealed.
Emperor Yuan Shanjian personally canonized the graceful princess, and the Imperial Historian and the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple deliberated and decided to hold a huge national celebration, and the wife of King Gao Huan of Qi has been officially listed as a state act, which further indicates that he is no different from the Son of Heaven now.
The emperor gave Gao Huan a python robe and ribbon, added nine tin, false festival and opened the house, which has almost reached the peak of power, and then the reward can only be Zen, but this is the most unlikely thing for the emperor to do.
Looking at the brother-in-law Ejit standing in front of him, Gao Huan had a little headache, this seventeen-year-old hairy guy had an arrogant and domineering face, and his sister was like a mold carved out, what the hell can be so fierce, that is the eldest brother who can't be provoked. Gao Huan didn't have such a strong feeling for his wife's relatives before, but now he suddenly found that if his mother's power is too strong, his husband's husband will be under a lot of pressure.
"I'm back, just wait until I'm married to your sister before leaving." Gao Huan said to Ejit in Rouran that he was now very fluent in learning Rouran with Grace.
"What did my brother-in-law say, my father Khan told me that I don't have to rush back to the royal court, this time I must wait for the news of my sister's pregnancy before I can go back to my life." Ejit couldn't get used to drinking the tea of the Central Plains, so he took a sip and frowned and put it down.
Murong Heng looked at Gao Huan meaningfully, but Gao Huan had a confused expression, and then said with a dry laugh: "This is what my father-in-law meant?" ”
"Yes, Father Khan said that my brother-in-law is in the Spring and Autumn Period, but considering that there is no official heir to inherit the throne, I specially explained that I must wait until my sister is pregnant before I can go back." Ejit's face, I don't want to look at Gao Huan with such an expression.
Yu Jiulu's mind is still meticulous, it is true that Gao Huan has not yet had an official heir to inherit his throne, although Lou Mingchun's son Zihui can be determined to be his flesh and blood, but externally, the origin of Zihui is doubtful and flawed, if he is listed as the heir, it will cause considerable trouble and disputes in the future, and the biggest doubt of the ancient princes and nobles is the heir issue. If you are not careful in arranging the handling, you will be in danger of being ruined.
Yu Jiulu is very interested in his own grandson taking power, if he can further control the Eastern Wei Empire after Gao Huan's death, this is undoubtedly a major good news for Rouran, who is in an increasingly difficult situation for the fairy.
"However, this matter of having a child is not something that can be fulfilled in a moment." Gao Huan felt very embarrassed and discussed his married life in the court.
Ejit didn't care about the snickering of Sima Ziru and Sun Teng on the side, and said to Gao Huan Zhengse: "Because of this, my brother-in-law needs to work harder with my sister." This kind of thing is bigger than the sky in our Rouran, please brother-in-law hurry up and finish this matter, so I can go back and tell my father Khan. ”
Gao Huan has seen forced debts, forced marriages, and has never seen forced children. This kind of thing is a private matter for the two of them, how can it be taken like a routine, Gao Huan turned his head to Murong Heng for help, he no longer had any hope that the eldest brother Sima Ziru and the second brother Sun Teng would not be rescued from the death of the well, and now it is estimated that only the resourceful Murong Heng can help him escape from the fire pit.
I saw that Murong Heng also seemed to notice Gao Huan squeezing his eyebrows and winking at him. He groaned and said to Ejit: "What His Royal Highness the Prince said is that this heir is a big matter, which will affect the rise and fall of the family at least and the fate of the country at worst, and must not be careless. Personally, it's time for me to think about the heirs. ”
How did this Murong Heng breathe out of one nostril with Yu Jiulu? Is it still the number one think tank under his account? Or do you trust the division commander? Is it still a relative? Gao Huan became anxious when he heard this, and said loudly: "Sir, what do you mean by this?" ”
This is Sima Ziru also got up and said: "The king, please let me say that the issue of the heirs of this royal family has always been a major matter related to the fate of the family and the fortune of the country. In recent years, the king has been busy fighting the world, and has not had the time and energy to complete the major events of inheritance. Although the king is in a prosperous year, it is time to care about the heir. ”
Sun Teng hurriedly echoed and said, "I also think that what General Sima said is reasonable. Please think twice about this question. ”
Gao Huan was a little annoyed, everyone in the relationship felt that they had a problem in that regard, and the failure to give birth to a son and a half daughter over the years was nothing more than that he had no fixed place to live and was busy with war every day? How much does this affect your life as a couple? Otherwise, how did the child in Erzhu Caihuang's belly come about. But then again, Cai Huang only gave birth to a child as a side room, and he couldn't inherit his throne.
"Okay, okay, whatever you think, you don't have to worry about me and the princess having a baby, I'll do it myself." Gao Huan was a little unhappy and said quite unhappily.
"Think twice!" The core faction led by Murong Heng collectively stood up to admonish Gao Huan. This is a naked forced palace. Gao Huan, because of this brother-in-law, now has two big heads.
According to the number of marriage ceremonies, Princess Grace should be escorted by Ejit, waiting for the wedding day with Gao Huan in the post house, but because she has lived in Gao Huan's palace privately, all the preparations have to be carried out after asking her opinion first.
"Sister, this is the phoenix crown xia cloak I made for you personally, remember to wear it when you get married, it must be beautiful." Erzhu Caihuang asked Qiu Niang to send a color box to Princess Grace. I saw that Curvaceous said in jerky Chinese with an excited face: "Thank you, thank you." After that, he was about to open the color box to try it on, Cai Huang hurriedly stopped with a smile: "It's not the time yet, it's not too late to try it on the day of marriage." "Princess Curvaceous is not good at speaking Chinese now, but she can basically understand it, which is also Gao Huan's credit.
Lou Mingchun also said with a smile: "Look at you, I have prepared a congratulatory gift for you here." With that, Hongyu came up with a jewelry box, opened it and saw that it was full of fine agate necklaces and jade bracelets. Everyone came to look at each other in amazement, whether it was a gift from the eldest lady who was the master of the house, it was different.
The graceful princess smiled and said in Chinese: "Sister is so good, things are so good, I like it." Seeing the opportunity, Ayima hurriedly took the jewelry box in Hongyu's hand, although the Mobei grassland is quite common for gold ornaments, but it is rare to see such a luxurious Central Plains specialty, so she is also very satisfied in her heart.
Gao Lan saw Lou Mingchun's gift on the side, and said a little shyly: "As a sister, I should have sent you some good things, but my husband's family has limited financial resources, so I only got some gold and silver soft things, which made you laugh." After that, he took a small bag from his side and handed it over, "I hope you don't dislike my heart." ”
Graceful knew about Gao Lan (most of them were told to her by Caihuang), and she also liked this sister who Gao Huan respected very much, and said in a loud voice: "I like them all, I like them all." Hurriedly took the bag in person, and grasped it in his hand very lovingly.
Murong Shaozong now holds the position of General Wei in the Gao Huan Group, and is the supreme commander of the garrison troops in Yecheng, the capital of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, second only to the four elders: Sima Ziru, Sun Teng, Murong Heng, and He Batsheng. He is the best of the young Zhuang faction. But he doesn't cheat for personal gain, and almost never accepts bribes, so he has no money to spare. If it weren't for Gao Lan's monthly little money in his mother's house (Gao Huan basically arranged positions for the people of the Gao family, including most of the women, they were also named Mrs.), and Murong Shaozong would have been in debt if he was not an inheritance.
Gao Huan was helpless about this, although he sent silver taels to his sister, but because of Murong Shaozong's face, he usually didn't ask too much about their family.
Gao Lan didn't think anything of it, she fell in love with Murong Shaozong and gave birth to a child for him, as long as the family could get by, she basically didn't care about wealth and glory, and she didn't care about money and other external things.
Murong Shaozong loves Gao Lan more and more, in any era, a girl with a bit of grace can put down her body, treat money like dung, and be willing to marry a poor family is respectful and admirable, how can she not love her?
Seeing the opportunity, Li also came out to curry favor with Graceful and said: "I have partnered with Feng Niang to make a gift, the courtesy is light and affectionate, you must not dislike it." The reason for this arrangement is that Gao Huan wants the three of them to get together often to catch up with the old days, who has never spoken to Erzhu Ying'e since the day they moved in, and the meeting is just a few polite greetings, not that they don't want to pay attention to her, but this Ying'e seems to have escaped into the empty door, and she doesn't ask about the world and doesn't miss the old feelings, and always looks like she is coldly rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Feng Niang also said very enviously on the side: "I really want to see what you look like when you get married, you must be a great beauty." Everyone laughed when they heard her words, and she blushed and asked very embarrassedly, "Am I not right?" ”
"You're dizzy before you get married? Knowing so much about getting married, I simply let the prince take you in. Erzhu Caihuang joked with a smile.
"People don't have it, people are just curious." As if she had been told the situation, Feng Niang quibbled with a flushed face, and everyone was amused when she looked at her cute appearance that was a little angry. Laughter arose in the gazebo in the back garden.
"Miss, you know what? Our prince is going to marry the graceful princess from Fanbang, and the house has been busy up and down these days, all of them are preparing for the wedding banquet, and the lanterns in the house are also very beautiful. The maidservant was cleaning on the side, chattering about what she had seen and heard in the house in the past few days. Er Zhu Ying'e sat on the couch silently, whispering this great sad mantra in her mouth, thinking about these things in her heart, but there was an inexplicable resentment in her heart, listening to the gossip of the maidservant, which made her feel the urge to get angry.
