Chapter Twenty-Four: Asking for Marriage

However, a few days later, the city of Kyoto was suddenly caught by a news from all over the world.

First, the queen mother came to His Majesty to intercede, and asked His Majesty to marry Mu Hequan, the sixth prince, to marry the only daughter of the Northern Prince, Bai Peony.

His Majesty was still hesitating, but the news spread far and wide, Bai Peony learned the news, and resolutely hanged himself in the house, but fortunately he was rescued in time, which saved his life.

Bu Tong got the news, and went to find Bu Yiyang as soon as possible, Bu Yiyang was boxing in the yard, although the weather was much colder, but he was still sweating profusely in a single dress, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Brother, are you getting better from the wound on your hand today?"

Bu Yiyang stretched out his head to look behind Bu Tong, and confirmed that only Chun Tao followed, he couldn't hide his disappointment, and reached out to rub his wrist, "It's okay, how can Tong'er be interested in coming to me today, I thought it was ......"

"Do you think it's Sister Peony who came to deliver the soup?" Bu Tong found a stone bench and sat down, and sighed softly,

"I'm afraid Sister Peony won't come over today, brother, don't you change your clothes and go with me to visit Sister Peony in the Beiguo Mansion?"

Bu Yiyang instantly gathered his momentum and ran over, looking at Bu Tong a little anxiously and asking, "What's wrong with Peony?" But what happened to get hurt? ”

Bu Tong frowned, "The queen mother asked Her Majesty to give Sister Peony a marriage and marry to the Six Princes' Mansion as a concubine, but the news leaked out, and my sister didn't want to, so she looked for a short ...... at home."

Looking at his brother's pale face for ten years, Bu Tong hurriedly explained,

"Brother, don't panic, Sister Peony is fine, she was rescued in time, but she was quite sad and depressed, and I was about to visit the house."

Bu Yiyang was stunned, "When is the news, has Your Majesty issued an edict?" I didn't know ......"

Bu Tong looked at his brother's anxious appearance, "Your Majesty has not yet made an order, but I don't know why this matter has spread, and this has only reached the ears of Sister Peony, and my brother is confined at home, so naturally I don't know." ”

Of course, this news was spread by Bu Tong and Tang Xuanlin's orders, otherwise His Majesty would have ordered Peony to know that it would be too late.

Bu Yiyang clenched his fists tightly and gritted the root of his teeth, "I just married Yu'er a few days ago and I wasn't satisfied, and now Yu'er is still grounded in the palace, so I want to marry the concubine?" ”

Butong got up,

"That's it, let's not talk about the eldest sister, brother, Sister Peony is all about you, Rao is something you should know no matter how dull you are, now my sister is unwilling to marry the sixth prince, how is my brother prepared?"

Bu Yiyang stood there, straight and resolute like a red willow outside the plug, and every word was hard and the ground, "I want to go and ask Your Majesty to marry and welcome peony medicine into my Nanguo Mansion." Bu Tong finally felt at ease, "With my brother's decision, Sister Peony will definitely be comforted." ”

"Nonsense!" Bu Tingyun's voice came from the door, and the two hurriedly got up and turned back.

"Father."

Bu Tingyun was alone and did not bring any entourage, he was dressed simply, but he looked like the father of an ordinary rich and noble family, and walked in slowly, "Nonsense, your in-laws, how can it be your turn to go to Your Majesty to ask for marriage, it's just a mistake!" ”

Bu Yiyang brushed off the hem of his clothes that was short to his knees and knelt down, and said earnestly, "Father, my son knows that he is used to being self-willed on weekdays, which makes his father and mother worried, and now, my son likes the Bai family's peony sister and wants to hire her as a wife. ”

Bu Tingyun sighed softly, walked to the stone bench and sat down, looking at his pair of children in front of him with some embarrassment, "My father really likes the white peony, he is gentle and sensible and generous, but now the queen has already begged, and it is really unruly for our family to ask for a kiss." ”

Bu Tingyun said this like an old father who was powerless, completely lost the strictness of the past, Bu Yiyang took a few steps forward, "Father, but Peony is unwilling to marry the sixth prince, if His Majesty really makes an order, it will be too late." ”

Bu Tingyun sighed heavily, "Let's not talk about whether Your Majesty will have a dislike when we marry the two people's mansions, just say that the rules in this Kyoto City are that if one family asks for marriage, if there is no result, the other family is not allowed to ask for marriage, even if I go to the Imperial Palace, I will not have an answer." ”

Bu Yiyang sat back with a dead face, "But my son is very close to Peony, and I only want to marry her, if Your Majesty insists on marrying, my son can only go out and take Peony to Your Majesty to resist desperately." ”

"You!" Bu Tingyun stared at Bu Yiyang for a long time, and he really couldn't say anything, there was a steady and powerful footstep at the door, and the laughter of the Northern Princess, "It's rare that the child is affectionate and righteous, and it is not in vain that I am ready to let go of this old face and beg Your Majesty." ”

Bu Yiyang turned around in surprise, "Thank you, uncle." ”

The Duke of Beiguo took a step and Yi Yang got up, "The man has gold under his knees, for the sake of peony, it shouldn't be like this, since you are now in love, I will enter the palace immediately." ”

Nanguo Gong stood up, "Lao Bai, this is overstepping, will Your Majesty use this to dispose of your military power." ”

Beiguo Gong laughed, "I don't care about this, if Peony is unhappy for the rest of my life, how can I live alone with the right to defend the army, today's visit to the house is to confirm your child's intentions, I am very happy to hear this, go and ask for a trip." ”

Nanguo Gong immediately decided, "Wait for me to change my clothes, and we will enter the palace together." ”

……

Bu Tong took Bu Yiyang to the Beiguo Mansion, the courtyard where Bai Peony lived was very simple, there were no common flowers and plants, the garden was full of books and ink, Bai Peony took a few little girls to dry books in the yard, and when he saw Bu Tong coming in, some pale faces suddenly added a little joy, "I knew you would come today?" Have you seen your father? ”

Bu Tong looked at her worried appearance, and must have been worried that Bu Yiyang would say some nonsense again, which would displease the Duke of Beiguo, so he hurriedly went up and held her cold hand.

"Sister, don't worry, my uncle and my father have entered the palace to beg Your Majesty, and there will be no other mistakes."

"Father has entered the palace? Is it difficult to do anything? Bai Peony is still worried that the Duke of Beiguo is "forced to marry" Bu Yiyang.

Bu Tong grinned, reached out to the door and dragged in a tall figure,

"Sister Peony might as well listen to him himself, it's easier to feel at ease."

……

Bu Tong squatted at the door, occasionally looking at the two people in the yard who were complaining to each other, and then looked up at the sun that had gone down,

"The days are getting shorter and shorter, and it's about time for the next Yuan Festival?"

Chun Tao squatted on the side and held her cheeks, "Miss didn't talk about Chun Tao and forgot about it, the Xia Yuan Festival is the last grand ceremony before the Spring Festival, the whole country sacrifices, you can also go to put lanterns at night, and there are a lot of delicious food, shadow puppet shows......"

Bu Tong looked at the spring peach who fell into a beautiful yearning and fell into contemplation, in the last life, the battle tiger took advantage of the lax garrison of the Xia Yuan Festival, raised troops to rebel, although it was later suppressed, but there were heavy casualties in Kyoto City, many loyal officials died in this catastrophe, the scene of the lanterns flowing in the blood river of the Xia Yuan Festival is vivid, and Bu Tong has a bad cold,

"Chun Tao, let's go somewhere before we go home."

……

This place is Dongchang, Chun Tao stood at the door, glaring at the guard brother who blocked the road last time, "Could it be that my young lady is still not allowed to enter this time?" ”

The man smiled awkwardly, "Last time, I didn't know Taishan with eyes below, ladies please come in." ”

Bu Tong looked at him with a smile,

"Don't have too much burden, we are human beings, and you are right to control the access so strictly."

The little brother was relieved, and looked at Butong with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Madam?

Bu Tong was stunned, and Chun Tao scolded him, "What nonsense? My young lady has not yet left the cabinet, how did she become your wife? ”

The little brother was confused again, and Bu Tong pulled Chun Tao indifferently and walked inside, "It doesn't matter, it's their wife sooner or later." ”

Madam, this title sounds quite pleasing to the ear.

The east factory was set up and built like a military camp tower, Tang Xuanlin added the gatehouse to set up a sentinel point, the inside of the checkpoints, the gate to the east, the north and south camps, the west side is the martial arts field, Bu Tong held the gold medal, all the way unimpeded, until he saw the dust and noise on the martial arts field, and asked a little brother beside him,

"Where is Tang Xuanlin now?"

The man couldn't help but look at her a few more times when he heard Butong's name, and pointed in the direction of the backyard, "Lord Overseer is talking to the commander of the Jinyi Guard. ”

Bu Tong nodded, all the way through the curious appearance of everyone, straight into the backyard, there was a sound of talking from the side hall, about the place where the lecture was spoken, Bu Tong was not good to disturb, pulled a passing guy,

"Where's your lord's living room?"

Xiao Mu Ran pointed to a small courtyard on the east side, "That's there, I don't know who the girl is?" ”

It's rare for someone to ask, Bu Tong looked down and saw that it was a familiar face, hey, I saw an acquaintance, isn't it the leader of the secret guard in the future?

Now he is about the appearance of just following Tang Xuanlin, very young, but his eyes are shining, but he is a smart and capable appearance, Bu Tong smiled,

"Don't panic this little brother, my name is Butong, and I am the lady of your family who has not passed the door."

Suzaku didn't have any extra emotions, and only bent down to salute, "I've seen Madame." And he withdrew.

Chun Tao looked at his thin back, "Are the people in this Dongchang so peculiar?" He didn't react at all when he listened to Miss's words. ”

Bu Tong walked in with a smile, "This is not an ordinary person, so naturally he can't be compared with ordinary people." ”

Yes, Dongchang Fanzi knows everything, he is everywhere, he is a legend, and he has always been the leader of the shadow team, and his scheming city is certainly not comparable to ordinary people.

Chun Tao didn't understand, and didn't ask much, the two walked into Tang Xuanlin's small courtyard, it was very simple, but a few golden cinnamon trees have now fallen, the eaves are raised high, and they look very solemn, Chun Tao stomped his feet on the spot, "Miss, then Tang Xuanlin doesn't know what to come back to, is Miss waiting in this courtyard?" It's too cold, too. ”

Butong looked up, "No, let's go into the house and wait." ”
