Chapter Fifty-Eight: Marriage Events

The flowers bloom at two ends, one on each branch. 【】

Yuanjing City, of course Xiao Mo didn't know, even the hidden mansion was given to him as a show of goodwill, and now at this moment, he is calculating himself.

Xiao Mo, who had just accepted the reward, returned to the house, and comforted the worried relatives in every way, and gathered for a family banquet, not mentioning it for the time being, when everything was finally over, he was finally able to rest, and the time was already bright and empty.

Perhaps because he was too tired physically and mentally, when he returned to his room, he was already a little groggy, and he didn't bother to check how the room that was originally the prince's bedroom was decorated.

In the past six months or so, he has been so tired from resisting barbarians, post-war negotiations, establishing factions, intrigues, and so on, and there are too many places to worry about.

However, this night, although Xiao Mo fell asleep, there were countless people in the capital who couldn't sleep all night for him.

………

Imperial Palace, Chuxiu Palace.

This is the site of the palace where Empress Shuxiao lives every day.

Although this Shuxiao Empress was born in an ordinary background, she is dignified and inward-looking, knowledgeable, very understanding, and knows how to advance and retreat, and has always been very popular with Emperor Chu Ling. Since Emperor Chu Ling's original queen Xiaohe died of illness ten years ago, Emperor Chu Ling tried his best to make her the queen of the dynasty, which made some ministers dissatisfied at that time.

However, this Queen Shuxiao is extraordinary, did not disappoint Emperor Chu Ling, since she led the harem alone, the affairs of the harem have never let Emperor Chu Ling worry about, and Queen Shuxiao herself, in front of people is graceful and luxurious, benevolent and benevolent, within a few years, has been a virtuous name, by many people think that "compared with the eldest grandson queen of the previous dynasty, there has never been much", and those ministers who were originally suspicious of her also quickly changed their words, saying that it is quite "the style of the mother of the world".

However, at this time, Queen Shuxiao did not have the slightest demeanor of "grace and luxury, kindness and benevolence" in the world, but her face was tense, her expression was uncertain, and she seemed to be shocked and angry.

Only a girl kneeling in front of Queen Shuxiao had a calm face, hanging her head, and her eyes were slightly sad and apologetic, but many of them were still firm.

This girl is the only daughter of Empress Shuxiao, the pearl of Emperor Chu Ling - Princess Tian Rong of Anping.

"You...... You take what you just said, repeat it again!! ”

Empress Shuxiao pointed to the girl in front of her, her fingers trembled, and she shouted softly.

Tian Rong's head hung down, but the firmness revealed in her voice became more obvious, and she replied slowly: "My daughter likes that Xiao Mo, likes the poems and stories he writes, likes his talent and demeanor, and likes his heroic deeds." But the daughter knows that the father attaches great importance to him, and he is the internal auxiliary minister after the fourth brother ascends the throne in the future, and the rules of our dynasty are that relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics, and if the daughter marries as a princess, it will delay his future, not to mention, the father will never allow it. So...... The daughter was unfilial, so she asked the queen mother to take away her daughter's status as a princess, degraded her daughter to a commoner, and cheekily asked the queen mother to marry her daughter and marry her daughter to Xiao Mo. ”

Hearing Tian Rong's words, Empress Shuxiao was angry and said angrily: "You also know that Your Majesty will not allow it, right?" Don't say Your Majesty, even I won't allow this, you are thinking about that Xiao Mo, and for the sake of his future, you will not hesitate to be demoted to a commoner, but have you ever thought about it, if you do this, where will my royal face go? Where will your father and my face go? ”

Tian Rong bowed her head and replied, "My daughter is not filial. ”

Hanging his head, his shoulders twitched slightly, as if he was weeping softly.

Seeing this scene, Queen Shuxiao's heart couldn't help but soften, after all, she only has such a daughter, and she is also loved on weekdays, and with Emperor Chu Ling's temperament, don't say anything, she is not like this Tian Rong is spoiled, she is used to being pampered on weekdays, she is arrogant, and she is loved by thousands of people, how could she ever appear in front of her like this?

Who doesn't have a spring girl? Empress Shuxiao also came from that step. Characters like Xiao Mo, who are already talented and famous all over the world at a young age, and when the country is in danger, they will save the mansion and collapse, experience legends, elegance and add a heroic, since these young girls who rarely have contact with the opposite sex on weekdays are the first choice for dream lovers.

And this Tian Rong is trapped in the palace, except for the people of the royal family, since birth, I have not seen a few men of the opposite sex at all, when I am bored, I can only read books to relieve my boredom, under the influence of Emperor Chu Ling, I can't let go of Xiao Mo's various works, and my love is abnormal. When Xiao Mo had not yet entered the court, it was not uncommon for Tian Rong and Emperor Chu Ling to rush to see Xiao Mo's deeds, compared with ordinary Huaichun girls, this Tian Rong's good impression and crush on Xiao Mo were several points stronger.

It's a pity that the girls in Huaichun often don't know, imagination is different from reality, there is still a saying in the world that "meeting is not as good as being famous", the reason why the dream lover is perfect is only because you don't know about him, and the subconscious beautification of the mind. And the so-called temperament, talent, and fame have nothing to do with whether they are happy after marriage.

Thinking of this, Empress Shuxiao lost her original anger and said earnestly: "You...... You haven't even seen that Xiao Mo's face, how can you not know it, how can you easily decide your life's events because of a moment of brain fever? Think about it, the Xiao Mo you like, but the real Xiao Mo himself? Or is it just Xiao Mo that you imagined? For the sake of an imaginary Xiao Mo, would you rather give up your status as a princess, and even make your father and queen mother lose face, is it worth it? Even if Your Majesty agrees to your marriage, after you get married, you find that Xiao Mo is completely different from what you imagined, how should you deal with yourself? Rong'er, you have lived in the palace since you were a child, you have been loved by thousands of people, you don't know the world, but you don't know that many things in this world are completely different from what you imagined. ”

Empress Shuxiao's words can be described as well-intentioned and experienced, but Tian Rong was extremely stubborn, shook her head and said, "Queen Mother, daughter...... My daughter actually secretly saw him a few times, when my father canonized him as the champion, and when he was called to the palace several times, I hid and saw him. He is the same as I imagined, his temperament is better, besides, what my daughter values is not his appearance, but his personality and talent, which cannot be faked, otherwise, if it is not from the heart, how can he write such beautiful stories and poems? Besides, even if his daughter doesn't know him, doesn't his father know him yet? My father often talks to me about other things, and I have never seen my father praise anyone like Xiao Mo, so it can be seen that Xiao Mo is a perfect person in this world......"

If Xiao is indifferent, hearing this, I am afraid that I can't help but blush for my wanton plagiarism.

Seeing Tian Rong's eyes full of longing, Empress Shuxiao sighed secretly, but she was a rare dissatisfaction with Emperor Chu Ling, and vaguely felt that this daughter might have really been spoiled by herself.

On the other side, Tian Rong's expression had changed from longing to sadness, and she said: "Actually, the reason why my daughter is so shameless and made up her mind to ask the queen mother is because of the matter of the seventh sister?" ”

Tian Rongkou's seventh sister is the seventh daughter of Emperor Chu Ling, and was once canonized as Princess Yuanning. It's just that she was not born to Queen Shuxiao, her relatives are different, and she has already been married, Queen Shuxiao will inevitably be a little cold to her, and she doesn't know many things, after hearing Tian Rong's words, she couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Princess Yuanning?" What's wrong with her? ”

"A few days ago, the seventh sister came to the palace to see me, her eyebrows were full of depression, I asked her what was going on, she said that she had not seen the horse for several days, although the husband's family because she was a princess, she was treated with great respect, but more of them were still indifferent, I think the horse complained that she had delayed her career, and she was far away...... The seventh sister said that although the daughter of the royal family said that her status was noble, her fate was actually miserable, because the concubine was not allowed to participate in politics, the children of the poor family did not want to marry and did not dare to marry, and marrying someone would delay her husband's career and annoy her husband's family; Although many wealthy families marry with the royal family, they are all out of interest considerations, and because of such rules, they never let the promising descendants of the clan marry the daughters of the royal family, and most of them deal with the children with lack of character or knowledge. The seventh sister also said that when her father summoned Du Yanyan, a famous scholar in Tongzhou, she had a good impression of Du Yanyan, but although Du Yanyan was talented, she did not like her career...... The seventh sister said that when she married the concubine, she thought she had just missed a fate, but now she realized that she had missed the happiness of a whole life! ”

Speaking of this, Tian Rong's face was full of tears when she looked up, and said: "Queen Mother, today Rong'er made the queen mother angry, it was her daughter's unfilial piety, but the daughter didn't want to be like the seventh sister, she liked someone but didn't dare to say it because of her identity, until she found out that she married the wrong person, she regretted it for life, and asked the queen mother to fulfill it!" ”

Hearing Tian Rong's confession, Empress Shuxiao was also full of emotion, but she still wanted to ask, "Then how do you know that Xiao Mo is your ideal husband?" You don't know him at all", however, before the words came out, he saw Emperor Chu Ling hiding outside the door, obviously hearing the conversation between the mother and daughter just now, his expression was also full of emotion, and he was shaking his hand at her again and again at this moment.

Obviously, Emperor Chu Ling didn't want to see Tian Rong at this time, and he was afraid of embarrassment.

Seeing Emperor Chu Ling like this, although Empress Shuxiao was worried about her daughter's affairs, she couldn't help but feel funny, so she said to Tian Rong: "In this case, you go down first, and I will think of a way for you." ”

"Thank you for the success!!"

Tian Rong thought that the queen mother had agreed to her request, her expression was full of joy, and she left without mentioning it after thanking her.

But he said that Emperor Chu Ling, Tian Rong didn't know where to hide when he left, and he didn't enter Chuxiu Palace until Tian Rong walked away.

Seeing Emperor Chu Ling appear, Empress Shuxiao hurriedly greeted her, after all, it was her daughter's trouble, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, hey, Rong'er is still young, a little willful, look at this matter......"

Emperor Chu Ling shook his head, his face was also full of helplessness, and he sighed: "The female eldest does not stay, she stays and stays to become an enemy...... Xiao Mo's marriage, I had already considered it, but Rong'er ...... Hey, forget it, let me think about it again. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, the capital, the wealthy families, and the military officials would not know what was happening in the palace, but they were busy with similar things.

Xiao Mo is young, but now he is a scholar from the second grade of Hanlin University, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, a doctor, a hereditary Marquis of Weiguo, a feudal city, a special goldfish bag, and a promising future in the future. It is the ideal marriage object of these wealthy pavilion old eyes.

On this night, in the capital, all the noble officials who were consciously qualified asked for the birthday of the daughter to be married who met the requirements of the clan, and asked for all kinds of dowries, contacted matchmakers with good status and qualifications, and prepared to go to Xiao Mo's Mansion early the next morning to ask for marriage.

Overnight, in the capital, almost everyone in the capital who was qualified to be the matchmaker of Xiao Mo's marriage matchmaker received the task of going to Xiao's house to be a matchmaker.

……

Besides, Xiao Mo was too tired, and when he got up the next day, the sun was already shining, but it was a rare sleep until dawn in all these years.

Although he felt that he was a little slack, Xiao Mo didn't care, anyway, Emperor Chu Ling had already given him a ten-day vacation to recuperate, just to steal half a day of leisure.

After washing, he greeted Deng Shangquan, who was waiting outside the door, and said with a smile: "Today I am in bed, I am afraid that my grandmother and fourth grandfather will not give me a good face, and I will be trained if I can't say it for a while, let's go, take me to greet the elders." ”

The mansion that he just moved into, Xiao Mo is not familiar with the path, and he still needs Deng Shangquan to lead the way.

Although Deng Shangquan only returned to Beijing on the same day as Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo believed that with Deng Shangquan's duty and carefulness, he should have been completely familiar with this mansion.

However, Deng Shangquan was not as obedient as usual, but said to Xiao Mo: "Young Master, I'm afraid it's better for you not to go to see the elders at this time, they are receiving guests in the main hall at the moment, and there is a lot of trouble." ”

"Grandmother, they have guests?"

Xiao Mo couldn't help but wonder, before the Xiao family entered Beijing as an official, they had always been based in Huanzhou, even if they didn't have many acquaintances in the capital, their elders and relatives, grandmother Liu and others, where would any guests come to visit?

Seeing Xiao Mo's doubts, Deng Shangquan smiled and said: "There are still a lot of guests, at least a dozen of them, all of them are respected Confucians in Beijing, as well as some cabinet bosses who have already become officials. ”

Seeing that Xiao Mo was becoming more and more confused, Deng Shangquan explained: "They all came to ask for marriage on behalf of others. ”

Xiao Mo was slightly stunned, then nodded, indicating that he understood, but his expression did not look happy.

Marriage.

After being reborn, Xiao Mo finally had to face such a major event in his life.
