Chapter 56: Affection is wrong
The news of King An's marriage was in an uproar, and everyone in the capital knew about it, and Ji Sihong naturally got the news as soon as possible.
After learning about this, he was surprised and delighted, and was surprised that he suspected that this unreasonable move was the conspiracy of King An and the crown prince. However, after getting the news from his mother, he was only happy, and he was happy that the queen's stupidity made King An and the crown prince lose the power of the princess's mansion.
King An married a son with the princess's mansion, but married the daughter of a powerless and powerless official, such a beneficial and harmless thing, Ji Sihong is naturally happy to hear it, and now when he heard Bai Yueyu say this, he couldn't help but be a little irritable, and said impatiently: "This marriage is a decree of the father and the emperor himself, do you want this king to resist the decree for you?" ”
Bai Yueyu naturally knew that it was not easy to ruin this marriage, but she really couldn't swallow this breath.
"My sister is not a quiet person, she used to be eye-to-eye with her cousin Song Bachelor, if it weren't for my cousin's filial piety for my aunt for three years and couldn't marry, she would have entered the door of the Song family. Now that my aunt's bones are not cold, this little slut turned his head and climbed the high branches, you said that if this news spreads, how can King An swallow this breath? ”
Ji Sihong's eyes sank, grabbed Bai Yueyu's wrist tightly, and said sharply: "You'd better keep your mouth shut, if I hear any rumors......
His cold gaze made Bai Yueyu shudder, and Ji Sihong warned: "Put away your thoughts, this king doesn't care if there are any grievances between your sisters, but this marriage is beneficial to this king, and it will never be allowed."
There is any difference in the pool. ”
With the infatuation of the county lord of Mingzhu with Ji Lingyun, if this marriage is yellow, maybe she will marry into King An's Mansion regardless of her previous suspicions, then the current situation will change again.
Although Bai Yueyu was unwilling, she was very afraid of Ji Sihong in her heart, so she had to endure it. She rolled her eyes, and then smiled and said, "Since this is the case, the concubine body is looking forward to the prince getting the concubine out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible." The incident that the prince mentioned earlier is now a good time......"
Even if a day has passed, Bai Yanran still feels unbelievable when she sees her mother Qi Shi busy Zhang Luo three days later.
Because it was the emperor's marriage, the three ceremonies of Nacai, asking the name, and Najib in front were all exempted, and the Tong family already had Bai Yanran's birthday, and now it has been sent to the Ministry of Rites to choose the marriage date. Bai Boren secretly came back to reveal to Bai Yanran, saying that the queen mother specially instructed her to choose the nearest good day, which is probably after March.
Bai Boren didn't have any special opinions about this marriage, neither like Bai Zonglin who only valued the benefits brought by this in-law, nor like the Qi family, who was worried that his daughter would be looked down upon. In his opinion, his sister's talent and temperament are all of the highest quality, which is worthy of the position of princess.
And he is an official in the Ministry of Rites, and he has his own opinion of King An, and feels that this person is not as unruly and unruly as rumored by the outside world, but he is just acting chic and wanton, which will inevitably cause gossip. It's just that King An doesn't look like a person who will be ordered to get married, and I don't know if there will be a change.
After Bai Boren said that, he pulled Bai Yanran into the corner again, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then said softly: "Today, Shiyang asked me to bring a message, saying that I want to see you in private, and ask you to meet at the back door tonight, you ...... Do you want to see him? ”
Bai Yanran thought for a while and said, "Since my cousin has something to say, it's better to make it clear earlier, let's see you." ”
Bai Boren nodded and ordered, "Then you can sleep again tonight, and I will take you to see him when the time comes." ”
In the middle of the night, the people in the Qiu Fan Courtyard were all asleep, and Bai Boren quietly knocked on Bai Yanran's door with a lantern. It was windy at night, Su Xin put a coat on Bai Yanran, and the three of them quietly went out of Qiufan Courtyard to the back door.
Bai Boren coaxed the key to the back door from his mother Qi, and opened the door easily, and when the lantern shone outside, he really saw a familiar long figure standing in the darkness at the door.
Bai Boren was taken aback and said, "Shiyang, why don't you hit a lantern, I was almost startled." ”
Song Shiyang's eyes fell on Bai Yanran, and said with a wry smile: "I was afraid that the night patrol would see that I couldn't tell clearly, so I didn't turn on the lights and touch the dark." ”
Bai Boren nodded, handed the lantern over and said, "In that case, you should hurry up and say it, now it is indeed time to avoid suspicion." ”
After that, he and Su Xin were locked in the door, and Bai Yanran and Song Shiyang stood outside the door.
After a moment of silence, Song Shiyang said with difficulty: "What does my cousin think about this marriage?" ”
Bai Yanran lowered her eyes to avoid his burning gaze, and said lightly: "It is a supreme honor for the emperor to marry in person, and she is still the position of the princess, and Yan'er has nothing else to ask for." ”
Song Shiyang couldn't help but take a step forward, feeling a little excited.
"But the emperor's marriage may not be what you want, I know that you are not a person who covets the position of the princess, if you don't want to, just say it!"
Bai Yanran frowned, looked up at Song Shiyang, and said in a deep voice: "What am I willing to do?" What if you don't want to? What is the holy decree, you have no jokes! Don't you want me to protest against this marriage and drag down the family? ”
Song Shiyang's eyes burst out with eagerness, and even his breathing was a little shorter.
"If you don't want it in your heart, I will go and ask the emperor to change his mind and give you to me in marriage."
Bai Yanran was stunned, he didn't expect him to have such thoughts in his heart.
"Y-How could you ......?"
Song Shiyang interrupted her words and said affectionately: "Yan'er, I have always had you in my heart. It's just that my mother did a lot of foolish things before, and I have filial piety in my body, so I feel ashamed and don't want to delay you before I said that. If your heart were to me, I would never say what you say today, but since you don't want me, you will give up your future and fight! ”
These words were indeed moving, but Bai Yanran had no other waves in her heart except guilt.
"Cousin, you don't have to do this for me."
She looked at Song Shiyang's enthusiastic gaze and said clearly: "I have always only meant brother and sister to you, and I have no love for men and women. ”
Song Shiyang was stunned for a moment, and his face instantly turned pale. His lips trembled, but he heard Bai Yanran continue: "In the past, I was to follow my parents' orders, and I knew that my cousin was good to me, so I thought that if I married my cousin, I would be able to live a stable life." But I don't want you to be fated after all, now that the wood is in the boat, I don't want to involve my cousin, I just haven't heard such things today, and I invite my cousin...... Treasure. ”
After that, she turned around and pushed the door in, and for a while she might as well expose Bai Boren and Su Xin who were lying at the door eavesdropping. The two couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but Bai Yanran had no waves on her face and went straight back to her yard.
Bai Boren looked at Song Shiyang, who was lost outside the door, sighed, and closed the door again.
The master and servant went back to the Qiufan Courtyard, the courtyard was silent, this trip back and forth did not alarm anyone, and when she entered the house, Su Xin relaxed her clothes for her, and stopped talking a few times.
Bai Yanran knew what she was thinking, but she didn't want to mention it again, so she asked instead, "Is there someone from Chunhua Courtyard who is staring at it?" ”
Su Xin was stunned for a moment, patted her forehead and said: "The slave maid thought that this matter needed to be done by outsiders, and she hadn't found a suitable person for a while. ”
Bai Yanran nodded and said, "You're right, find someone with neat hands and feet as soon as possible, don't startle the snake." ”
In her previous life, Bai Yueyu married into the Song family and became the wife of a scholar, so she naturally guarded the glory and wealth that she had so hard to grab, and she did not hook up with King Jian later, Bai Yanran was inevitably a little relaxed, but she didn't want to almost hurt Qi Simin because of this.
Three days later, the dowry of King An's Mansion was delivered to the White Mansion, and it was very lively in front of the White Mansion on this day. Seeing the lively people, they surrounded the door, and sighed that this royal shot was magnificent, and this dowry could be called ten miles of red makeup.
At the same time, I don't know who came out in the crowd, saying that this Miss Bai family is because of her good fate, and her eight characters are hard, which just fits with King An's eight characters, so she entered the eyes of the queen mother, and she can jump on the branch and become a phoenix as a princess.
Originally, everyone was talking about this marriage that was not the right door, and as soon as this rumor came out, it quickly went viral, and it was not expected that everyone in the capital would know about it tomorrow.
At this time, the Bai family was still ignorant of all this, and this happy day was naturally a happy day. Even the Qi family was worried before, but now when they see the dowry, they can't help but be happy when they know that the Anwang Mansion attaches great importance to this marriage.
Now that Tang and Yang are pregnant, the two of them have a stomach that is inconvenient to operate, so they follow behind Qi and say auspicious words, and the coaxing Qi family can't close their mouths.
The two naturally have their own selfishness, the Bai family's heirs are thin, whether they are male or female in their stomachs, they are all the blood of the Bai family, and there is a princess sister who will naturally be able to shine in the future.
Originally, this wedding should have six ceremonies: Nacai, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, Invitation, and Greeting, but today, the gift of the invitation after the ceremony of accepting the levy is also handled by the Ministry of Rites. As Bai Boren said, the wedding date was indeed set in March, and the palace was only waiting for the bride to be married.
Today's Bai Mansion is particularly lively, full of joy, Bai Zonglin and Bai Boren are entertaining the relatives and friends of the Bai family at the first few tables, and they want to entertain the people of the palace who come to give dowry gifts, and even the Zhou family is dressed up in a decent spirit to come out to welcome guests.
However, Bai Yanran didn't have to come forward, she was a little restless in pruning the flower branches, but she accidentally punctured her fingertips, and the red blood beads fell down all of a sudden, causing Su Xin to exclaim again and again.
Seeing that Bai Yanran was unstable, she sighed: "Tomorrow, Miss should go with Mrs. to buy clothes and jewelry, Miss is so absent-minded, let others see it and don't know what gossip to spread?" It's not going to be a word now......"
The last sentence Su Xin said vaguely, with a look of anger hidden on her face, Bai Yanran was restless but didn't hear it clearly.
On this day, the Bai family is really lively, the Bai family can climb such a good marriage can be said to be glorious, the Bai family's relatives naturally followed, this meal of wine and food, until twilight is approaching, all dispersed.
The family was so busy, naturally no one cared about Chunhua Courtyard, so Bai Yueyu took advantage of the chaos to escape with Gu's mother......
