Chapter 83: Countdown to the Wedding (5)
As the wedding date is getting closer and closer, the situation in Luoyang City is becoming more and more tense, and Jia Hou is in full swing to make final preparations for the abolition of Sima Shu, and what makes everyone puzzled is that Sima Shu, one of the princes of the parties, still looks indifferent and lets Jia Hou press step by step.
"Your Highness, rest assured, we are almost ready, yesterday General Meng Guan sent a secret letter saying that King Zhao has taken the bait, and now everything is under His Highness's control!" Zhang Bin shook his head and said to Sima Shu.
"Well, Mr. has been a lot of worry about it for a while, and we must not be careless! Because we have more than one opponent, send a letter to Zu Ti in Guanzhong as soon as possible, and ask him to gather some troops in Tongguan and Sanguan in case of emergency! ”
"Your Highness is worried that someone will attack my Guanzhong?"
"It's always right to be careful!"
During the day, Wang Yan's house, Mrs. Wang's wife Guo Zao prepared wedding dresses for her two daughters. "This one is good" and "That fabric is better". After a while, a house slave walked in and said, "Mrs. Qiyu, Duke Lu is here." Guo Zao was shocked, and couldn't understand what happened to Jia Mi at this time, so she hurried out.
Jia Mi is proudly admiring the scenery of the Wang family in the hall, this time he came to the palace is nothing more than for the Wang sisters, he wanted to intervene sideways, but who knew that in the end he was picked up by the prince Sima Shu, and now the prince is dying, he wants to take the Wang sisters into the room again.
When he saw Guo Zao coming in, he hurriedly stood up, and Shi Li smiled: "How is my cousin?" Nephew gives you a gift! ”
Guo Zao didn't dare to offend her nephew: "Mi'er! Why are you here today? ”
Jia Mi smiled slightly: "Cousin, we are a family, if you have anything to say, my nephew will tell the truth, when my nephew fell in love with my cousin Wang Huiying, who knew that he was snatched away by the prince in the end, and my nephew has always taken this matter to heart." I came here today in the hope that my cousin would be kind enough to agree to my nephew's request! ”
Guo Zao was shocked when he heard this: "This ...... This...... What's this called?! ”
Jia Mi frowned and said, "Cousin! Could it be that in terms of knowledge, character, and prestige, the nephew is not as good as the prince? ”
Guo Zao trembled and said, "This ...... That's not how it goes! Your sister Huiying has already given it to the prince, she is the prince's person, and it is impossible to give it to you again. ”
Jia Mi showed a strange smile and said, "Possibly! Possibly! As long as my cousin agrees, the prince's side will be solved, and you will rest assured. ”
After Guo Zao sent Jia Mi away, she couldn't be quiet in her heart no matter what, although she couldn't touch any secrets as a woman, but Wang Yan was also an important minister of the court, and she usually talked to her about some things in the court, she more or less knew that the current situation of the prince was not very good, which was proved by Jia Mi's words just now.
Now after Jia Mi's provocation, it makes her even more uneasy, if the prince is really by Empress Jia, how should her two daughters live?
"Come on, go and invite the two young ladies!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
After a while, Chunfeng and Huifeng walked in one after the other, and after seeing Guo Zao, the two sisters couldn't help but step forward, and the elder sister Wang Huiying said angrily: "Mother, you don't care about the little sister?" She had to go out with me to incense! ”
Wang Huifengjiao said with a smile: "Mother, people are going to go!" Can't people be companions with their sisters? ”
"You guys! I'm about to get married, and I'm still so naughty! Guo Zao hugged his two daughters lovingly and said, "Isn't it just going to the temple to burn incense?" Hui Ying, you can take your sister with you! ”
Wang Huifeng happily circled around the room: "Oh! Mother agreed! Look at what else you say this time, sister! ”
Wang Huiying deliberately pretended to be fierce to warn her sister: "Then you are not allowed to make trouble for me." ”
Wang Huifeng promised again and again: "Okay, when my sister recites Buddhism, I just don't speak." I know that my sister has always been a little unsteady in her heart because of the matter of marrying the prince, so she asked the Buddha to bless her, right? ”
Wang Huiying said angrily: "If you talk nonsense, I really won't take you there." ”
Because Jia Mi framed Wang Huiying, the position of the crown princess that should have belonged to her fell into the hands of her sister, although in the end she was also designated as a concubine by the prince himself, but who knows what the prince thinks in his heart. Over the years, during the New Year's holidays, the prince would always give the two sisters some gifts.
Whether it is a glass mirror, new clothes, delicious food, etc., as long as it is invented by the prince, it will always be given to the two sisters, and each time they do not distinguish each other, and the gifts they receive are exactly the same.
But since she met the prince on the street once, the two have never met again, she really doesn't know what she is like in the prince's heart, if the prince still holds on to the incident back then, then Wang Huiying's life after marriage can be imagined.
Early the next morning, at the gate of Wang Yan's house, the sisters of the Wang family had just left in a carriage with their guards, maids, and slaves for a short while, when they saw Jia Mi riding a horse and hurriedly chasing after a group of guards.
On the streets of Luoyang, a carriage in front of it slowly drove towards the temple, and the two sisters of the Wang family were talking in a whisper on the carriage, and from time to time they let out a coquettish laughter, which made people itch to hear. Behind the carriage, a young man dressed as a noble boy was riding a tall horse in a hurry.
However, due to the large number of people on the road, Jia Mi did not dare to gallop too much, resulting in him always unable to catch up with the carriage of the Wang sisters.
Luoyang White Horse Temple, founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty Yongping 11 years (68 years), is the first ancient temple in China, the world's famous Jialan, is the first temple built after Buddhism was introduced into China, and has the "ancestral garden" and "Shiyuan" of Chinese Buddhism.
Outside the White Horse Temple. The Wang sisters got out of the carriage with the support of the maid, and were about to enter the temple when they saw Jia Mi riding a horse.
Wang Huifeng whispered in her sister's ear: "Sister, look, Cousin Jia is here, my sister sees that he has bad intentions, you have to be careful!" ”
Wang Huiying glanced at Jia Mi and said expressionlessly: "He has nothing to do with him, it has nothing to do with us, let's go." ”
Behind, Jia Mi dismounted, followed quickly, and then ordered the Hao slaves around him to let them block the entire monastery and not let anyone in.
Wang Huifeng shouted, "Sister, he's here." Sister, why don't you go in and hide, and let me stop him. To put it mildly, in a few days we will enter the East Palace to be the prince's concubine, if there are some rumors at this time......"
Wang Huiying's heart froze, the prince was already a little dissatisfied with her, if any more words reached the prince's ears, her life would be ruined, so she said to her sister with a pale face: "Sister, you help my sister block him, just tell him that I won't meet him, let him die of this heart!" ”
Before the two sisters of the Wang family could make proper arrangements, they heard a commotion outside, and then saw Jia Mi break in despite the obstruction of the maid and subordinates.
As soon as Jia Mi saw the graceful Wang Huiying, the whole person became distracted, and he was about to step forward to pull the other party, but Wang Huifeng silently blocked his footsteps.
"Cousin, cousin!"
Wang Huiying bowed her head and said nothing, while Wang Huifeng asked quietly: "Big cousin, is there anything wrong?" ”
Jia Mi noticed Wang Huifeng standing in front of him: "Ah...... Good sister, I want to say a few words to your sister Huiying. Sister, please stay away for a while. ”
Wang Huifeng said unhappily: "Cousin, please pay attention to the tone of your voice, and our sisters are both Yunying's people to be married, so it's a bit unruly for my cousin to ask for this!" ”
Jia Mi ignored Wang Huifeng, stared at Wang Huiying's charming face without blinking, and said, "Virtuous sister......
Wang Huifeng said impatiently: "If my cousin has something to say, just say it!" ”
Jia Mi also saw that he was not very popular, so he stopped talking nonsense: "...... I don't know why my sister came here to burn incense? ”
Wang Huiying whispered: "It's not a secret, in a few days, the little sister will marry the prince, and she will come to ask the Buddha for auspicious details." ”
Jia Mi was a little displeased: "So, my sister is here for the prince?" ”
Wang Huiying nodded: "Exactly." ”
Jia Mi deliberately sighed: "Alas, it's a pity! Pity! With the talent of her sister and the prince, it is like a phoenix falling into the pyre, and she rubbed a gorgeous feather in vain. ”
Wang Huiying frowned and said, "I don't understand what my cousin means. The prince is the prince of the country, the future emperor, what virtue does the little sister have to compare herself with the phoenix? Being able to marry the prince is really a step to the sky. ”
Jia Mi further slandered: "My sister only sees the surface, but not the inside. Yes, the prince is the prince of the country, but he doesn't know how to cultivate virtue and blindly debauchery, does his sister know nothing about it? At the beginning, he fooled around among the people, gambled **, and also ran various businesses, boasting of himself as a businessman, and his sister had not heard of all these bad deeds? Like this road, if he becomes an emperor in the future, he can only be a flower Tai Sui, among the three palaces and six courtyards, he finally put his sister there, and it is not yet known! ”
Wang Huiying was unmoved: "Thank you cousin for your concern." Since ancient times, three wives and four concubines have been the glory of men, let alone the son of heaven? The little sister only knows how to marry her husband and follow her husband, as for whether he takes the little sister to heart, it is the will of God, and no one can force it. And over the years, the prince has really been very good to me. ”
Jia Mi said hurriedly: "Sister, don't be coaxed by the other party's sweet words, who wouldn't say nice things these days?" It is said that the crown prince is now fooling around with a maid named Luzhu, and he doesn't take his sister seriously at all! ”
Wang Huiying said a little impatiently: "If my cousin has nothing else to say, please stay." ”
As he spoke, he turned and left. Jia Mi was a little embarrassed, just as Jia Mi was about to speak further, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then a young man walked in, and the three people in the room were suddenly startled, and when they turned their eyes, it turned out to be the prince Sima Shu came, the Wang sisters were a little flustered, and Jia Mi looked fearless.
"Lone said that who has such courage to dare to slander the prince of the empire, it turned out to be Duke Lu. What's the matter, Lu Gong? Don't you know that the palace is going to marry the sisters of the Wang family in two days? ”
Sima Shu squinted at Jia Mi and said, Originally, Sima Shu came to the White Horse Temple to make incense and make a wish at the order of his mother Xie Jiu today, but he didn't expect to meet the Wang sisters and Jia Mi.
