Chapter 29: Refusal of Marriage
Mrs. Xia invited Zhu Xingshu to take a seat, and the maid served tea, and Mrs. Xia asked worriedly: "The concubine and the general don't know each other, I don't know why the general came to the door today?"
Zhu Xingshu laughed and said, "I didn't know each other before, but I can be very familiar with it in the future!" Hahaha, Mrs. Xia, Zhu is here today to say hello to you. β
Mrs. Xia's heart tightened slightly, and said, "But I don't know where the joy comes from?" β
Zhu Xingshu laughed and said: "When I fell in love with Ling Yuan today, I dreamed and dreamed!" So entrust Zhu to come to the door to propose! Mrs. Xia, the Son of Heaven is the Ninety-Five Supreme, so that Yuan can be loved by the Son of Heaven, isn't this a great joy? β
"I'm not marrying him! Isn't the Son of Heaven great? Not...... The Son of Heaven is very remarkable, but what does it matter to me, I just want to marry the person I like, I don't want to marry the emperor, I don't like him! β
Before Mrs. Xia could speak, Xia Yingying jumped up first, and grabbed Bai angrily, she secretly glanced at Ye Xiaotian, and saw that he had a black face, for fear that he would have a misunderstanding, so she hurriedly confessed.
Zhu Xingshu's face sank, but he realized that this was the emperor's favorite woman, so he suppressed his anger and forced himself to squeeze out a smile and said: "Miss Xia, I'm talking to Lingtang, girls shouldn't intervene indiscriminately......"
Xia Yingying said angrily: "This is my life's event!" β
Zhu Xingshu said: "It's because it's a lifelong event for the girl, so you shouldn't interject, girl!" β
When Zhu Xingshu said this, he smiled faintly and said, "The girl is straightforward and naΓ―ve, and she has nothing, but once she enters the palace." But the rules are strict, even if the emperor is favored, the rules that should be followed cannot be messed up. So, it's better to start paying attention now. β
"The concubine has six sons, and this one daughter really spoils her."
Mrs. Xia smiled and said: "But the concubine is used to it, if you change to Yingying, who follows the rules, the concubine still doesn't like it." Our Xia family is different from other people's families, since it is a lifelong event for the little girl. Whether the little girl likes it or not, that's the most important thing! β
Zhu Xingshu's face finally sank: "Then, about the emperor's appointment to make Ling Ai the imperial concubine." Does Mrs. Xia agree? β
Xia Yingying said angrily: "I don't like him!" β
Mrs. Xia said: "The little girl doesn't like it, and the concubine can't help it." The emperor's kindness, the Xia family has it, this royal family. The Xia family can't climb it. β
Zhu Xingshu also deliberately bit the three words "imperial concubine" very hard. I thought that the Xia family would be flattered, but I didn't expect that people didn't pay attention to it at all. Zhu Xingshu emphasized in disbelief: "Mrs. Xia, Ling Ai enters the palace, but it doesn't start from a small palace lady, you can directly seal the concubine, the imperial concubine, her dignity is second only to the queen's mother." β
"Even if it's the queen, Yingying doesn't have that blessing!"
Is Ye Xiaotian the man who can make other people's mother and daughter stand in front of him? Although he was born in the capital since he was a child. The awe of the emperor is far greater than that of this mother and daughter from Qiandi, but that is Ye Xiaotian in a normal state. It's not Ye Xiaotian after the "crazy transformation", now Ye Xiaotian has transformed, with pointed ears and a long chin, incarnated into a donkey.
Ye Xiaotian stepped forward step by step, arched his hand to Zhu Xingshu and said, "Because, Yingying has already promised to marry someone, and that person is me!" As far as I know, whenever a concubine is selected in the palace, the people are busy marrying a daughter, because once they are married, the palace cannot be recruited. Yingying has already been married to Zaixia, even if she is the emperor, there is no reason to rob the people's women, right? β
Ye Xiaotian is insidious enough, and people haven't done anything, so they first deducted a big hat of "robbing people's girls". Zhu Xingshu thought he was Yingying's brother at first, but when he heard this, he knew that he was the emperor's rival.
Zhu Xingshu suddenly felt troubled, he knew that this matchmaker was so embarrassed, he would never be happy to get out of the palace. Zhu Xingshu looked at Ye Xiaotian and asked, "Who are you?" β
Ye Xiaotian said: "Guizhou Woniu Chief Official, Ye Xiaotian!" β
Zhu Xingshu had never heard of him as the number one person, that is, the official position of the chief, he had never heard of it twice, Zhu Xingshu circled around his mind twice before he realized that the other party was a local official. Zhu Xingshu immediately grasped the question that could be attacked: "You are so bold! Since he is a local official, he dares to leave his fiefdom and go to the capital privately? Did you know that this is a capital offense punishable by treason! β
Ye Xiaotian said calmly: "How did General Zhu know that Ye Mou left his post without permission and went to the capital privately?" Ye was impeached and sent to the capital by the governor of Guizhou, Ye Mengxiong, to go to the capital for investigation. β
"It turned out to be a criminal officer!" Zhu Xingshu found another place to be used, and hurriedly asked, "What crime have you committed that need to be escorted to the capital and held accountable by the Son of Heaven?" β
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "I only know that I am the general of Zhenguo, and I don't know that there is another public office under my feet." Is it in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, or the Criminal Department? The irrelevant yamen can't be managed by Ye. β
Zhu Xingshu smiled slightly, and said, "What a sharp mouth, I have learned!" β
Zhu Xingshu turned to Mrs. Xia and said sincerely: "Mrs. Xia, if Ling Ai can become the imperial concubine, how much benefit it will be to the Xia family, there is no need for Zhu to say more, I believe Mrs. Xia understands it very well in her heart."
As for worrying that once you enter the palace gate, you will be wronged by Ling Ai, and Mrs. does not have to worry, because except for the queen mother, there is no woman who needs the emperor to solemnly entrust a clan to ask for marriage, and the emperor's love for Ling Ai can be seen. I hope you can think about it, you don't have to refuse in such a hurry, Zhu will listen to the letter another day! β
When Zhu Xingshu said this, he smiled and arched his hand to Mrs. Xia, took three steps back, turned around, and walked away!
"He has to come back another day to listen to Xin'er, it's really unreasonable!" Xia Yingying said angrily and grabbed Ye Xiaotian's hand: "Brother Xiaotian, let's hurry back to Guizhou." β
Ye Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "You can go, I can't go!" β
Xia Yingying said: "If you don't go, then I won't leave either." β
Mrs. Xia said: "Silly daughter, Xiao Tian has a public office, and because he has committed a crime, he will be convicted by the law department, so he can't leave, what are you doing staying?" If you have anything, your mother will immediately arrange a carriage and horse to send you back to Guizhou! β
Ye Xiaotian said: "What my aunt said is very true. Yingying, you go back first! β
Xia Yingying said: "Guizhou is not the same as under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor is not dead. What if I go back? β
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Although the emperor is high, he can't do many things as he wants. Officials cannot be appointed or dismissed at will; After marrying, the concubine must be influenced by the inner court and the outer court; Even if he wants to go out of the palace gate, he has to nod from all aspects, so as long as you go back to Guizhou and are not under his nose, he will want to beat your mind again. It's a hundred times more difficult! β
Xia Yingying said reluctantly: "But when people saw you, they ......"
Ye Xiaotian quipped: "You have to go back so that you can see me often." If we are imprisoned in the palace by the emperor, we will never see each other for the rest of our lives. β
Xia Yingying hesitated for a moment before nodding reluctantly: "Okay then, I'll listen to you." I'll go first. But. I don't want to go back to Hongfeng Lake, I'm going to wait for you in Tongren, waiting for you to come back! β

If you want the emperor to get Miss Xia, you have to solve Ye Xiaotian!
This was the first thought that came to Zhu Xingshu's mind when he walked out of the Xia Mansion.
It is unreasonable for a woman to fall in love, this will become the biggest obstacle to dedicating her to the emperor, as long as Ye Xiaotian is solved, maybe Miss Xia will voluntarily enter the palace when she is sad, even if she is unwilling. It is much easier to settle the Xia family again.
But how to solve Ye Xiaotian?
Homicide? That is not the habitual thinking of the royal family, the official eunuchs and the gentry. The criminal cost of doing so is too high. Don't say that in the eyes of the ministers, he is barely a good baby, just say that he is the Emperor Zhengde of the former dynasty. That's the lawlessness that everyone knows. But it's such a lawless emperor, he likes a folk woman Liu Liangnu, and it takes a lot of effort to operate, how to operate? Here's how:
First of all, Emperor Zhengde sent the great eunuch Liu Jin to find Liu Liangnu's own brother, and the high-ranking official Houlu promised to buy him off, because Liu Liangnu's father had passed away, and the eldest brother was like a father, and her eldest brother could be her master.
Then, Boss Liu, who wanted to be a relative of the emperor, found his sister, but fortunately, Liu Liangnu and his wife had an average relationship, and Brother Liu persuaded him to be a high-ranking emperor, and he was only in his twenties, and he was handsome, and Liu Liangnu was also moved.
Then Brother Liu found his brother-in-law, used both soft and hard, coercion and temptation, and finally promised him great benefits, there were hundreds of acres of fertile land alone, and countless gold and silver treasures, which persuaded him to stop marrying another wife and write a letter of resignation.
Liu Liangnu took this marriage book, and only then did she follow Emperor Zhengde as she wished, and her eldest brother became a high-ranking official who commanded the envoy, but because she was married, although she enjoyed the favor and preciousness of the Son of Heaven, she never had a name, not that Emperor Zhengde was reluctant to give, but because the officials were unwilling.
Now that Miss Yingying has not yet married, she has promised someone, which is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. The emperor is the monarch of a country, and it is impossible to buy murder to remove the obstacles to concubines, once the cost of leaking secrets is too high, what should I do? Of course, let Ye Xiaotian take the initiative to divorce!
Zhu Xingshu didn't know that Ye Xiaotian and Xia Yingying didn't make a marriage book at all, Ye Xiaotian said this in front of Xia Yingying, and Xia Yingying and her mother didn't deny it at all, in Zhu Xingshu's opinion, of course what Ye Xiaotian said was true.
Is Ye Xiaotian a body of sin?
The corner of Zhu Xingshu's mouth showed a sly smile: "This matter seems to be able to make a big fuss." β
But what crime Ye Xiaotian committed, how serious the consequences were, and whether he could coerce him to make concessions with this, Zhu Xingshu was not sure, he needed to understand Ye Xiaotian's details first, but he was an imperial prince, and it was impossible to go to the Three Law Division to inquire.
A clan went to the Sanfa Division to inquire about a Guizhou local official, I'm afraid that Ye Xiaotian hasn't caused trouble yet, he will cause a commotion first. What are you doing when you inquire about an official?
Liuguan and Tuguan are opposite camps, but compared with the clan, Liuguan and Tuguan are another family. He couldn't reply to the emperor about it, and the emperor asked about specific things and asked the emperor to send someone to inquire about it, so what was the use of him?
To inquire about this matter, you must find someone who has nothing to do with the civil official system, this person must know Ye Xiaotian's details, or have the ability to inquire about him, so Uncle Zhu Huang found the commander of Jinyiwei to make Yu Wuyi......
