122. Chapter 122
The emperor was a man of action, so when he thought about it, he immediately sent the eunuch Zhao Ning Wushuang into the palace.
Ning Dehai's mood today is like doing a roller coaster, the ups and downs are too great, first he fell out of the ice cellar, and now he is like eating a piece of chilled watermelon on dog days - it's refreshing!
His Royal Highness King Xuan actually wants to marry his own daughter as a concubine...... also vetoed the emperor's side concubine.
He is about to become King Xuan's father-in-law, and at this moment, Ning Dehai's heart is bubbling up, as if he has foreseen the scene of his own official being promoted to the third level.
The autumn breeze blew on his face, rolling up the broken fallen leaves, Ning Wushuang was a little stunned at the eunuch who passed the decree, and then came back to his senses, and there was an urge to grind his teeth: stinky and shameless, what is he going to do? If you marry her as a concubine, isn't this roasting her on the fire?
With her Dai family's daughter, the concubine of Ningfu, and Nangong Yang, how could the emperor agree to marry her as a concubine?
I can't say that I already think that she is a fox spirit who is a red face and a disaster in my heart, where can I make her good?
Ning Wushuang stroked his long hair, and followed the eunuch who passed the decree to the carriage sent by the palace without changing his face, but he felt a little regretful in his heart, if the person who asked to marry was not Nangong Yue, it would be good to be able to get a royal marriage.
She didn't want to marry how glorious and rich she was, and she didn't expect Qin Se and Ming, let alone say anything but ask for a single-minded person, and the white head would not be separated, if she could, she would rather not marry, but the current environment does not allow her not to marry.
Therefore, she just wants to marry someone who can be accused by her and will not interfere with a big man, and this man has the best temperament and simplicity.
The biggest advantage of the royal marriage is that the man will not dare to snub her in the future, but unfortunately the person who wants to marry is stinky and shameless, and the emperor can only accept her as a side concubine at most.
Side concubine?
No matter how good it sounds, it's just a concubine!
Ning Wushuang looked at the swaying tassels on the carriage, his eyes gloomy.
The flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, a qiē is not illusory, she will never allow others to interfere in her marriage and manipulate her own fate, even if that person is the current emperor.
Ning Wushuang's arrival can almost be regarded as the attention of all the people, and all the ministers in the Jinluan Palace want to see clearly what this "straw bag beauty" who can make His Royal Highness King Xuan ask to marry looks like, and after seeing it clearly, they can't help but be amazed, it is really a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, whether it is beautiful in appearance, but full of aura, especially those eyes, as if the bright colors of the world are gathered in it, just one glance, can make people addicted to it and can't extricate themselves.
Ning Wushuang was wearing a light white embroidered moon dress, embroidered with dotted flowers, although the ordinary clothes were not publicized, but because the emperor was not mediocre, he wore lace and beaded golden phoenix hairpins between his temples, and when he walked, the pearl hanging down the lace swayed, and the light flickered, setting off her bright face more and more brightly, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and the eyebrows were quiet and peaceful.
At this moment, Nangong Yue's heart actually jumped up with a "bang", the slight footsteps seemed to step on his heart with every step, he was a little smiling, and when he retracted his gaze, he swept to the obsessive look on Nangong Yang's face, his dark eyes sank, and the cold air on his body froze a piece of the sky: Damn Dengzi, he actually dared to think about his woman.
He simply regarded Ning Wushuang as his own woman, and he didn't care whether Ning Wushuang agreed or not.
Ning Wushuang's eyes drooped slightly, his expression was respectful, he shouted long live, waiting for the emperor to speak, his attitude was calm, and he couldn't see the slightest panic, even the most demanding Lord Shangshu in the Ministry of Rites, he couldn't pick out the slightest thorn.
The emperor squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the girl lying on the ground, his eyes were dark, as if a streamer flashed, half a sound, and said quietly: "Flat!" ”
The two short words shocked the old eunuch who served him slightly, and then lowered his eyes, as if he had never noticed the fluctuation of the emperor's feelings.
"Courtier, Emperor Xie." Ning Wushuang respectfully thanked her, slowly stood up, still staring down to the ground, as if all the outside world had nothing to do with her.
The emperor's eyes were fixed on her, and he said lightly: "Ning Wushuang, King Xuan asked me for a decree to marry, and wanted to marry you as a concubine, can you be willing?" ”
The ministers were stunned for a moment, and listening to the emperor's tone, it seemed to have the meaning of fulfillment.
Immediately laughed, the emperor favored King Xuan, the world knew everything, and it would be a marriage gift of King Xuan, and there were traces to follow.
Nangong Yang's heart jumped up suddenly, there was a pain of a knife blade cutting, a feeling that something that should belong to him was snatched away, and he stared at Ning Wushuang with a vague gaze, and his breath was chaotic for no reason.
After Nangong Yue heard the emperor's words, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Ning Wushuang carefully, as if she was a little surprised by what the emperor meant.
There was a joy in Ning Dehai's eyes that couldn't be concealed, and he felt that the glory and wealth he hoped for were already within reach.
What kind of person is King Xuan, he is in a high position, what kind of woman he wants, he also opens his mouth, and the other party will naturally come to his side obediently, and he will not even use his hand at all, he will scramble to please him.
He personally came to the emperor to ask for marriage, it was a big face, I believe that no woman in the world can refuse, so Ning Dehai is determined, no, not only Ning Dehai is determined, but everyone in the Jinluan Palace is sure, Ning Wushuang will definitely agree.
Ning Wushuang sneered secretly, the stinky shameless must have thought that he would be full of joy, he asked the emperor to marry, but he regarded her as a flower to be admired, because of her beauty, he valued it, and was ready to keep it in a vase for him to enjoy. Because of her refusal, she even did not hesitate to accompany the title of concubine.
In Ning Wushuang's opinion, the stinky shamelessness is just unwillingness, maybe he is high, and she is the first person to reject him in this life.
Where can he talk about respect for his behavior like this, Ning Wushuang only had anger in his heart, not the slightest joy, lowered his eyes, knelt down slowly, straightened his back, and said lightly: "If you go back to the emperor, the courtiers are unwilling!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent, and the needles could be heard, and no one thought that Ning Wushuang would answer like this.
Ning Dehai was furious, and he scolded Ning Wushuang at the Jinluan Palace: "What are you messing around, why don't you answer the emperor's questions well?" As he spoke, he also gave Ning Wushuang a look, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, for fear that Ning Wushuang would not know what to say, and he would anger the emperor and King Xuan and anger him.
The emperor was not angry, but his face was dark and gloomy, and he looked very ugly, presumably the bald son was good in the eyes of his father, and he couldn't tolerate others refusing, not to mention that His Royal Highness King Xuan's head was not bald at all.
And, after being rejected, King Xuan, who should have been furious, was unexpectedly not angry, but asked calmly: "Why?" ”
Somehow, he seemed to have expected Ning Wushuang's refusal, so he didn't feel surprised at all at the predictable result.
She took a deep breath, looked ahead, and uttered something from her chest that shocked everyone into speechlessness.
"Your Highness, my aunt's coffin has not yet been buried, she said to me before she went crazy that there are eight hardships in life, birth, old age, sickness and death, resentment, love and parting...... Life is short, why bother yourself, for the sake of the so-called fame, wronged yourself. She once made me swear to God that I would never serve a husband with anyone in this life, even if I was accused of being jealous, I would not break my oath. ”
Ning Wushuang pulled her lips: "My aunt used to be a dignified Mrs. Houfu, but she was demoted to a concubine and burned to death. No matter how unfilial a courtier is, she can't break her oath to her. It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so I, rather than have the luxury of a lifetime, and never marry for the rest of my life, so as to live up to my mother's oath. ”
It is still a woman's unique soft voice, but it is like a fierce flame mixed with peach blossoms in March, rubbing the ice floe of the snow-capped mountains, and the blend of ice and fire in this sonorous and powerful words, word by word is like jade hitting ice, echoing in the hall.
Everyone was silent, and they couldn't accuse Ning Wushuang of being wrong, after all, everyone knew what happened to the Dai family, and it was not an exaggeration to let her daughter make such an oath that a woman who was once as cold as steel, and a faint pity for Ning Wushuang rose in her heart, and then Ning Dehai's eyes were a little disdainful.
Pampering the concubine room is not a big deal, the man in the main hall, who does not have a concubine, but the spoiling concubine and killing his wife to the point of Ning Dehai is the only one in this Xuan Ming Kingdom.
Ning Dehai's old face turned red, and she hated Ning Wushuang very much in her heart, she didn't know how to refuse King Xuan's marriage, and she actually publicized the family scandal on the Jinluan Palace.
"Nonsense, you are a woman in the boudoir, how can you say such arrogant words!"
"The oath is heavy, how dare my daughter mess around? A gentleman's words are like a whip from a fast horse, and a woman's words are naturally difficult to chase. Today, in this Jinluan Palace, in front of Emperor Xuanming and all your lords, please ask the emperor and all of you to be a witness. If Ning Wushuang has a half-word of nonsense, he is willing to be thundered by the sky, and he will not die well! ”
Ning Dehai was stunned, compared to others, in addition to shock, there was also a faint fear in his heart, the woman who was once as bright as fire was also such a resolute, this inexplicable feeling made him lose his mind, and said impatiently: "The Dai family has long been demoted to a concubine, your marriage is a major event, and I and your mother are in charge, I sue you, King Xuan can value you, it is a blessing that you cultivated in your previous life, and you can't be allowed to mess around." The matter of marriage, the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker, I will answer it for you. ”
Shameless!
It's shameless to the extreme!
Ning Wushuang was completely angry, the sunlight floating on the light gauze skirt seemed to suddenly turn into fiery red fireworks, making her whole person immersed in a rather extreme atmosphere, her eyes were as heavy as the endless darkness in the dark night, and a smile was hooked at the corner of her mouth, and on her gorgeous face, a flower that was indescribable slowly bloomed.
If she wants her to be a stepping stone to his power, she will never let him do it!
