Chapter 266: The Emperor Gives Marriage
Speaking of which, seeing Chu Yuan and He Xingyao singing and teasing each other, Hua Yan'er's mood was simply extremely bad.
However, Xiao Si was very happy, after all, the young lady of her family did have that kind of mind for Chu Yuan.
After going out for a walk this time, He Xingyao can be regarded as having met Sister Qiao'er, although the relationship with Chuyuan is closer, it doesn't have much effect after all, but fortunately, the future is long, and now there is no need to rush for a while.
said that since everyone separated that day, He Xingyao's parents were quite dissatisfied with her and Chu Yuan's closeness.
And in the eyes of He Xingyao's parents, Chu Yuan is simply an ordinary person, not as promising as Hu Ling, but he can't stand He Xingyao's liking, so they have no choice for a while.
It's just that after returning home, Mrs. He called Xiao Si to her side in person, and then said very seriously: "Xiao Si, you have grown up with Xingyao since you were a child, and the Chu Yuan who followed her side, what do you think of that person?" ”
Xiao Si originally had been churning in his heart because of his wife's sudden call, and was thinking about some perfunctory words, but he didn't expect that he was just asking such a simple question now.
So, Xiao Si said directly without thinking: "Madam, Miss is rare to make a good friend who is heartfelt, and Chuyuan Gongzi is really a good person, recently he challenged Tianxue Ge, the first person in Ya, the most incredible thing is that he won two wins in three games, although he lost in the end, but the first game was won, and even because of the competition with Tianxue Ge, Chuyuan Gongzi can be regarded as a battle to become famous." ”
Listening to these words, Mrs. He was still a little uneasy, no matter how rich this person's resume was, and no matter what this person had in mind, she still didn't want her daughter to go astray after all, after all, this child was the treasure of her heart.
After thinking of this, Mrs. He suddenly said in a very ordinary tone: "Xiao Si, since you said that Chu Yuan is a good person, I will not force Miss to cut off contact with Chu Yuan, but you need to be cautious on weekdays, after all, the identity and reputation of the girl's family are very important, I don't want you to do anything bad." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Xiao Si nodded very respectfully and said, "What Madam said is that I will definitely take good care of Miss." ”
After that, Mrs. He was still a little worried, but she remained silent and did not let Xiao Si notice it.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Si and He Xingyao were in a daze in the room together, both of them had their own thoughts, but neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room looked sullen and a little strange.
However, at this time, Master He and Mrs. He suddenly appeared at the door of the room together.
He Xingyao didn't notice it, but Xiao Si took the lead to greet him, and then opened his mouth to say something, and He Xingyao reacted.
She looked at the second elder in front of her, and said directly: "Dad, mother, why are you here?" ”
Mrs. He smiled and said, "Child, your father has only missed you a lot recently, so he wants me to accompany you to come and have a look, but seeing that you look good now, you must be good in the future." ”
said such a thing inexplicably, although He Xingyao didn't know what the purpose was, she also knew that her mother cared about her.
So, she also smiled and said: "Mother, you don't have to worry, after all, the child and I are so old now, I will take care of myself." ”
When she said this, Master He suddenly interrupted her, and then said in a very strange tone: "Xingyao, what you said is also right, it's just that I will go to the front hall tonight, and your mother and I have something to tell you, this matter is really important, so don't be late." ”
He Xingyao listened to such solemn words, and for a moment he lost the meaning of his hippie smile, and nodded solemnly.
Seeing her behavior like this, Master He and Mrs. He left the room very satisfied.
The two of them were still quietly discussing something until they left the courtyard, which seemed to be really important.
It's just that He Xingyao thinks it's very strange, it doesn't seem that anything particularly big has happened at home, why is it so important now?
She really couldn't figure it out, so she asked Xiao Si, "Xiao Si, do you know what my father and my mother want to tell me?" I can't afford nothing to prepare tonight, can I? ”
She was actually kind to ask like this, but unfortunately Xiao Si didn't know what was going on, so there was no way to answer her at all, so she could only shake her head awkwardly, and her mood looked a little bad.
Seeing this, He Xingyao ran out of ideas for a while, and he beat the drum, always feeling as if something was going to happen.
When the evening came, the family got together, and Xiao Si was originally going to accompany He Xingyao all the time, but unfortunately this time Master He didn't let Xiao Si accompany everyone.
After the door of the room was closed, Master He suddenly said in a very solemn tone: "Xingyao, Daddy has something to tell you." ”
"Daddy, speak, boy!"
Hearing this, Master He suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, and then said in a very embarrassed tone: "Child, Daddy knows that this matter may not be a good thing for you, but you have to do it." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Recently, the city is not very peaceful, Hu Ling Gongzi is now the champion, when His Majesty promised him and the princess to marry, he directly refused, saying that he wanted His Majesty to give marriage, that woman is you, and now the holy decree is already on the way, if you don't obey the decree by then, it will be the crime of disobeying the decree and destroying the house, we really can't afford to offend!" ”
Hearing this, He Xingyao felt that this was simply inexplicable, she and that Hu Ling didn't have a particularly good intersection on weekdays, but he was a good person and really bold, so she didn't mind making friends with him, but she didn't expect Hu Ling to have such a mind, it was really shocking.
This matter was really sudden, He Xingyao felt like her brain was about to explode for a while, but subconsciously, she knew that this explanation was unwilling.
After thinking of this, she suddenly said in a firm tone: "Dad, mother, no matter what, I won't agree to this matter, that Hu Ling never asked me what I thought, all this is just his wishful thinking, I thought that our family had spoken all the words, but I didn't expect you to still not understand me after all, no matter what, if there is really no way at that time, I will marry him, but if it really comes to that time, I will no longer be your daughter." ”
She said this very seriously, and at the same time there was a hint of coldness, her parents were unwilling to let her live the rest of her life in peace after all.
Mrs. He didn't expect her daughter to say such heavy words, she burst into tears for a while, and said in a sad tone: "Child, my mother knows that you are wronged in your heart, but the emperor's marriage is extraordinary, that Hu Ling's father is still your father's boss, he is a champion, and he is a pillar of the court, and there is nothing bad about you being with him." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, before He Xingyao could reply, Hu Ling and his father had already quickly come to the door.
Originally, the door was tightly closed, but I didn't expect Hu Ling to be outside all the time knocking on the door, and the sound was still very loud, so Xiao Si couldn't help but open the door.
As soon as she saw that it was Hu Ling and his father, she always felt uncomfortable in her heart, and planned to close the door, but unfortunately it was too late after all, and Hu Ling looked at her very angrily and said: "Xiao Si, you hurry up and call your young lady and the old lady, we have something to discuss with them today." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Xiao Si quickly ran away.
Lord Hu and Hu Ling wore new clothes and came to visit in person with gifts.
On the way to the living room, Hu Ling said with some concern: "Daddy, do you say that this time, Miss He will be willing to marry me?" ”
Master Hu looked at him, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled and said: "You kid is really dull, now that things are about to become a foregone conclusion, you are still so undetermined in your heart, don't worry, this time it will definitely succeed." ”
When he said this, he also patted Hu Ling's shoulder by the way, indicating that he was relaxed.
However, when their father and son met He Xingyao and her parents, the atmosphere between them suddenly became very subtle, and there was even a very peculiar feeling.
After a while, Master He took the initiative to speak: "It turned out to be Lord Hu and Gongzi, congratulations to your son, congratulations on winning the top prize, it's really gratifying, congratulations!" ”
Master Hu also smiled and said, "I'm happy and happy, but did you tell that thing?" ”
Master He nodded and said, "Anyway, the child has to know about that matter after all, I have already said it, but Xingyao is my best daughter, and I really don't want to wronged her." ”
At this time, Mrs. He was still a little distressed about He Xingyao after all, so she could only bite the bullet and say: "My lord, Ling Gongzi looks personable, talented, and worthy of a better girl, you don't have to be with my daughter, now that the holy decree has not been issued, there is still room for redemption for the time being, I don't know if you are willing to let Your Majesty change his mind?" After all, lovers who don't understand each other won't last long after all. ”
No matter when she arrived, she felt most sorry for her daughter, so she said this.
It's a pity that Hu Ling doesn't know what's going on, he just wants to be with He Xingyao, and at the same time he even said very toughly: "Madam, Zai Xia and Xingyao are indeed very good friends, and didn't we get along very well at that time?" Why do you have to persuade Your Majesty to change his mind, Madame? What a great honor this marriage is, you don't know, do you really want to give up this opportunity to soar? ”
After he said this, his face was not red or panting, but he was a little hairy in his heart, he didn't know what He Xingyao's mind was, so he was always a little uncertain.
After a while, Xiao Si came out and invited Hu Ling to go to the inner hall to speak, he followed without saying a word, jumping on the road, looking unsteady at all, happy with his eyebrows and eyes, looking as beautiful as the moon in the sky.
Xiao Si didn't expect him to react like this, but he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
When he went to the inner hall, He Xingyao said directly to the point: "Master Hu Ling, I have already heard my father tell me about that matter, why do you have to be with me?" ”
Hu Ling looked at her with a bitter smile, and only spoke for a long time: "You really don't know my intentions, but I am for you, so I begged Your Majesty to give me a marriage, and the holy decree of private marriage will be issued soon, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer." ”
Hearing this, He Xingyao suddenly felt very embarrassed, she couldn't do it with two minds after all, for Hu Ling, she didn't think about giving birth to any other thoughts at all, not to mention that this holy decree of marriage was the source of pain at all.
After thinking of this, she said directly: "I'm not a person with you, and I haven't even issued it yet, I hope you can stop it and don't do such a wrong thing." ”
"The wrong thing? What's the wrong thing? Is it wrong for me to pursue the person I like and pursue my love? ”
Hu Ling also felt very aggrieved in his heart, but he was inferior in this matter after all, so he didn't take care of it.
The communication between the two people finally broke up.
When Hu Ling returned home, he was always depressed in his heart, and even his scholar complained that he was always out of shape when he did things recently, and he was quite dissatisfied.
However, nothing special happened to him, but that day He Xingyao said everything straight to the point, tearing up the disguise he had always had, that girl was really powerful, he always liked it so much, but the fate of the two people was not too much after all, and even those so-called fates needed to rely on him to work hard.
The more I thought about it, the more indignant I felt.
Just when he was angry and trying to find a way, the scholar suddenly told him that there was an important matter, and asked him to go to Master Hu, that is, his father, to ask, that there was any special surprise, although he did not have any special feelings about these so-called surprises, but he was still a little curious in his heart.
Sure enough, after going to the Yamen, Master Hu told him with a spring breeze on his face: "Child, your wish is about to come true, and the father-in-law who passed the will just now has already revealed a letter to me in advance, and now he has gone to He's house to pass on the holy decree." ”
After hearing this, Hu Ling immediately danced happily, now that the holy decree of marriage has come down, he and He Xingyao, as long as one party does not agree, it is a major crime of disobeying the decree, which is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, he believes that there is such a holy decree, He Xingyao does not dare to disobey.
Just when he was secretly happy in his heart, the father-in-law who delivered the decree also came here to deliver the decree to them, and at the same time said words of congratulations, and the father-in-law looked overjoyed, as if he had received a lot of money.
In the end, the will was finished, and the big stone in Hu Ling's heart was finally pressed down, but he used the emperor's marriage to tie He Xingyao, he knew that what he did was not very glorious, and even a little despicable, but he couldn't help it, he liked her, so he could only use this method to let He Xingyao stay by his side.
Master Hu naturally knew his son's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "Ling'er, now you can be regarded as believing it, right?" Never worry about it again. ”
Hu Ling smiled and nodded.
