Chapter 435: Ambition is higher than the sky
Han Jian had only met the empress the day before yesterday, and he had obtained the conditions for the empress to marry, although the conditions were almost floating clouds for him, but they finally gave him some hope.
This time, the empress summoned her again, and vaguely said that it was a marriage, Han Jian thought to himself, it should not have anything to do with his marriage to the empress. This matter is just a secret between him and the empress, how can outsiders hear any rumors?
When he arrived at the small hall next to the empress's bedroom, before waiting for the report, a woman walked out of it, Han Jian saw it clearly, and realized that it was Yang Xiuxiu, the lord of Anping. When Yang Xiuxiu saw Han Jian, her face turned red, and she said, "Your Majesty Xià invites the East King to speak inside." ”
After speaking, Yang Xiuxiu turned around and went inside directly.
Han Jian was surprised in his heart, when this female man still blushes? It can't be the marriage it is talking about, it has something to do with her, right?
Han Jian entered the interior with a little doubt, but saw the empress in plain clothes, looking at him with a light smile. At this time, Yang Xiuxiu's face was a little unnatural.
"The minister gives His Majesty Xià please be safe." Han Jian saluted.
"The king of the east can do it himself. I came to you to tell you about a marriage. The empress raised her hand to signal Han Jian to calm down, and said.
Han Jian thought to himself, that's pretty much it.
"Your Majesty, Minister...... I don't quite understand. Han Jian glanced at Yang Xiuxiu, and then looked back at the empress. There is still something strange in my heart.
Yesterday, the empress just promised that if she could recover Luoyang and stabilize the Wei Dynasty, she would marry in the East Palace. Come here today?
"King Dong, what do you think of the Anping County Lord?"
The empress asked, and Yang Xiuxiu, who had already recovered her natural nature, immediately turned red again. Even his eyes avoided Han Jian. It shows that the empress mentioned to her that she would marry her into the East Palace.
"Zhong Lingyuxiu, the lord of Anping County, is a woman in the world. Once in Luoyang, there were many famous family proposals, I think it is because the county lord of Anping has a high vision, so he has not had a favorite choice. Han Jian said casually.
The empress frowned slightly, if she didn't know the reason, she would think that Han Jian's words were very good. But everyone knows that the relationship between the county lord of Anping and Lu Fengning, the grandson of the Lu family, was messed up by him. Saying that he has a high vision is simply taking this matter for fun.
The Empress pretended not to hear. asked: "Then the king of the east is interested in the county lord of Anping?" ”
"Huh? This ......" Han Jian hesitated. bowed and saluted, "The lord of Anping is a daughter, and the minister is already married, and he ...... There is more than one marriage. Fear...... Not worthy of the lord of Anping. ”
"You just say you like it or not." The Empress is like a matchmaker. But he was in a hurry. Say it directly.
"This ......," Han Jian continued.
If it weren't for Yang Xiuxiu's presence, Han Jian would have questioned a long time ago. But now he can only pretend to be very embarrassed, as if he is dealing with the county lord of Anping. Don't think you can marry into the East Palace.
"What, not happy? The county lord of Anping married to the East Prince's Mansion, and he didn't want to be your main room, so he didn't treat you badly? The Empress seemed to be a little angry.
At this time, Yang Xiuxiu's face also changed a little.
Han Jian really didn't know what Yang Xiuxiu thought, this marriage probably wouldn't have been proposed by Yang Xiuxiu. Is that wishful thinking on the part of the Empress?
A slap doesn't make a sound, if Yang Xiuxiu doesn't mean this in her heart, the empress proposes it, she herself will object, and there is no need to find him to discuss the marriage decently. But Yang Xiuxiu has always picked his nose and eyes at him, and he has never given him a good look, saying that Yang Xiuxiu is interesting to him, Han Jian will not believe it.
Han Jian thought to himself, that is, the empress wanted to find a "replacement" to make him break off his mind earlier. then found Yang Xiuxiu, and then "forced" her to comply. At this time, the Anping County Wang's family almost relied on Yang Xiuxiu to support herself, and Yang Xiuxiu was "forced to be helpless", so she had to obey the empress and commit herself to the East Wangfu as a concubine.
It must be so. Han Jian said to himself in his heart.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister really looks down on the lord of Anping, it's just that the minister thinks that marriage should be born from feelings. There is not much contact between the minister and the lord of Anping, and there is no relationship between them, so they ......"
The empress frowned, this was the first time someone had said in front of her that the prerequisite for marriage was "affection".
The words of the parents and the matchmaker have been the rules of marriage since ancient times. What about feelings? After all, it's not a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and after three or five years, I will forget all my feelings. Only marriage can tie people to death.
At this time, Yang Xiuxiu already had tears on her face.
Han Jian looked at her hiding her face and crying, and said in his heart that even if Yang Xiuxiu was forcibly "given marriage" by the empress, the frustration of a daughter's family being rejected in public was unacceptable. It's like when he rejected Yang Li'er, Yang Li'er even had the idea of not marrying for the rest of her life.
"This ...... The county lord of Anping is really ...... in the lower part Because I don't deserve you, the county lord, I will say this, please don't mind. ”
Han Jian said this, who knew that Yang Xiuxiu simply fled with face and left the empress's bedroom crying. Han Jian turned his head to look at Yang Xiuxiu's departing back, and he felt a little inexplicable in his heart.
Could it be that the second Yang Li'er has feelings for him behind his back?
Han Jian thought about it for a while, the last time they met, Yang Xiuxiu was still sneering at him, if you want to have a relationship, it won't be so fast, right?
"King Dong, you did a good thing!" The empress shouted angrily.
Only then did Han Jian think of the "initiator", turned his head, looked directly at the empress, and said in a stiff tone: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly propose to give marriage?" His Majesty has no intention of being a minister, and there is no need to abuse an outsider in this way. ”
The empress was confronted by Han Jian, she was not angry, she just sighed and said, "Do you think that I want to marry you and the county lord of Anping for no reason?" ”
Han Jian frowned and said, "So what?" ”
"King Dong, you are not more than eighteen years old, to be exact, only seventeen. Many of them have not yet understood the situation of the world. Even if I have an opinion of you, I don't need to entertain others. It's the county lord of Anping, who came to ask me to see me and wanted me to marry her. This is also the promise I made to her at the beginning, Lu Fengning's matter, have you forgotten? ”
Han Jian said coldly: "Isn't it that the county lord of Anping wants to marry into the Dongwang Mansion himself?" ”
"You're really wrong. The lord of Anping is now two out of twenty, and among the famous ladies in Luoyang, she is the only one who has not yet married. At the beginning, it was also because there was no one to support the Anping County Palace, and I wanted her to stay at home more and take care of the County Palace. Now that the Anping County Mansion exists in name only, there is only one lonely old family left, even if the Lord of Anping County is not a talent who takes a fancy to you, you don't have to refuse in person, embarrassing her! ”
Han Jian bared his teeth, what does it mean that "the county lord of Anping does not value your talents", which shows that the empress also knows that the county lord of Anping wants to marry into the East Palace, not because of him, but because he wants to climb the big tree of the East Palace.
If the empress knew about it, why didn't she stop it? Could it be that the Anping County Mansion has to form a marriage with the East Wangfu in order to ensure the continued development of the Anping County Palace? These princes' affairs, in the final analysis, are not the empress's words. Although the empress is basically not asking questions in court politics now, if the empress wants to propose something to give to the Anping County Palace, or let Yang Xiuxiu's younger brother come out to attack the lord, can he still object?
"What does 陛xià mean is that this matter is not raised by 陛xià?" Han Jian asked again.
"Anyway, you don't believe what I say! It's nothing, you go down first, I'm tired and don't want to talk to you more. The empress said with an impatient look.
Han Jian was a little dumbfounded, after a long time, he still misunderstood the empress?
Han Jian couldn't help but scold Yang Xiuxiu in his heart, you said that you have a daughter's family, you don't know how to be reserved, you know that marrying into the Dongwang Mansion will not have a good life, and you have to marry against your will, just for the bullshit family behind you?
Han Jianxin said that the women of the Yang family are really carved out of a mold, and there is an empress in front of her, and for the sake of the royal family of the Wei Dynasty, she even does not hesitate to use her marriage as an exchange bargaining chip. And Yang Xiuxiu was even worse, and even offered to marry him as a concubine.
When Han Jian walked out of the door of the small hall, he couldn't help but glance back, and said in his heart that this was good, because of Yang Xiuxiu's matter, his relationship with the empress was cold. This is very detrimental to his pursuit of "true love".
Han Jian took a few steps forward, and saw that there seemed to be a figure shaking at the door. There is no need to distinguish, just from the clothes, Han Jian judged that it was Yang Xiuxiu who had gone out before.
"Is the county lord of Anping okay?" Han Jian stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
At this time, Yang Xiuxiu's expression seemed to have calmed down, but there were faint tears in the corners of her eyes. Yang Xiuxiu glanced at Han Jian, as if asking, "What does the East King think is wrong about the little girl, so that she is not even qualified to marry into the East King Mansion as a concubine?" ”
Han Jian originally had some resentment towards Yang Xiuxiu, complaining that he had ruined the "harmonious" relationship between him and the empress.
But thinking that after all, it was someone's daughter's family who was rejected for marriage in person, so "miserable", and it would not be a gentleman's way to sprinkle salt on the wound again.
"What did the county lord of Anping say? It was precisely because he didn't want to disappoint the county lord of Anping that he refused this marriage to His Majesty. With the talent, character and background of the county lord of Anping, it is really easy to entertain young and talented famous sons in Jiangdu. If the county lord of Anping needs to help, he can also do his best. ”
Yang Xiuxiu had already calmed down, and when she heard Han Jian's words, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and look at Han Jian, and said, "Why does the King of the East have to say these high-sounding excuses?" In fact, in the eyes of the East King, the little woman is just a foolish and vain county lord, who is not worthy of the main gate of the East Palace? In the future, the little girl will never do such delusions again, lest she be looked at coldly again! ”
After saying that, Yang Xiuxiu brushed her sleeves away, leaving Han Jianli confused in place.
Han Jian asked himself if he was very smart in seeing things, but he really couldn't understand Yang Xiuxiu in front of him.
This sounds like a very dignified appearance. Could it be that Yang Xiuxiu has true love for him? It's ridiculous. Although Yang Xiuxiu is tall and has both talent and appearance, he really didn't think that something would happen to Yang Xiuxiu. (To be continued......)
