Chapter 151: Request for Marriage (Part I)

In this life, when he fainted a lot, Bu Tong opened his eyes again, but it was full of fragrance, warmth, his body seemed to be lying down for a long time, he was very tired, he got up and stretched his waist, only to feel that the wounds on his arms and shoulders were still a little painful, and he didn't think long after falling asleep, he got out of bed and stood up slowly, a little dizzy, and only after standing firm, he called,

"Spring peach."

It was Liu Siyuan who entered the door, and put down the wooden plate in surprise, "The county lord has woken up, and he has been able to get out of bed, and the courtiers will go to inform the adults and ladies of the good news of the county lord's recovery." ”

Butong stretched out his hand to stop her,

"Wait a minute, ladies, you say? Is my aunt still in the house? ”

Liu Siyuan nodded, "Exactly, if it weren't for the call of the harem, Concubine Qi would not have left, now that it happened the day before yesterday, the house is being overhauled, and it is very messy, so the concubine will go back to the palace at the call of the queen's mother, and Mrs. Qi will stay in the house to help." ”

Aunt Qi is used to being a warm-hearted person, and she has nothing to do in her own house, so she must not let go of the mess of the Nanguo Mansion that is almost completely destroyed.

Butong nodded,

"I'm tired of Liu Siyuan calling the fat girl next to me to come over for me, I'm fine now, I can go to see my mother, and I feel at ease when I see my mother."

Liu Siyuan rarely smiled softly, "The county lord was originally injured on his body and didn't rest well and got drenched in the rain, so he fainted for a while, and now that he is rested, he will naturally not be in a big deal, and it is good to go out for a little walk, and the courtiers will go to call the spring peach girl, she is afraid that she is still guarding the bird's nest porridge for the county lord in the small kitchen." ”

Bu Tong nodded and smiled at her, until Liu Siyuan's figure disappeared, then he suppressed his smile, but it was a pity that he was not drunk when he fell asleep, and everything before he passed out was vivid, that Mu Di ......

"In January, can Wu Thirteen's body be brought back?" Bu Tong suddenly spoke.

January's voice came from the beam of the house, "If you go back to the county lord, Lord Tang has already brought Wu Shisan and the other brothers back to Dongchang for burial, and the mother can rest assured." ”

Butong nodded and sighed softly,

"That's the only thing we can do now......"

January's voice disappeared, and there was a sound of stumbling at the door, as well as Chun Tao's exclamation, "Young lady, be careful, you are a person with body now, don't be in a hurry." ”

Bu Tong raised his eyes to look, and sure enough, he saw Bai Peony's hurried figure at the door, and ran in in a hurry, asking anxiously with an anxious face, "Ah Tong woke up, why did he get out of bed?" Go back and lie down, hungry or not? The porridge has been stewed in the back. ”

Chun Tao helped Bai Peony to stand firm, and hurriedly came to help Bu Tong, carefully looked at Bu Tong's appearance, and suddenly smiled, "My young lady Ji Ren Tianxiang, her face has recovered, and she must be fine." ”

Bai Peony looked at Butong's powdery little face, and her spirit was good, she must have recovered very well, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down slowly with her slightly bulging belly, "But I'm scared to death." ”

Bu Tong looked at Bai Peony and said with a smile,

"Why is my sister-in-law dressed like this?"

Bai Peony used to be neat and dignified, and there was not even a trace of mud on her embroidered shoes, but now her sleeves are rolled up high, and if you look closely, there are inconspicuous stains and mud marks on her cheeks and legs, which is not her previous style.

Chun Tao helped Bu Tong to approach and sit down, "Miss, our young lady has been staying in the small kitchen to stew bird's nest porridge for you, I'm afraid that Miss will wake up with a dry mouth and prepare to moisten your lungs. ”

Bu Tong reached out to hold Bai Peony's hand,

"Sister-in-law, now that the uncle has resigned, and His Royal Highness has also become the prince, everything is settled, and we still have to live our own lives in a down-to-earth manner is the most important thing."

Bai Peony nodded tearfully when she heard this.

Bu Tong also wants to open this meeting, and His Majesty doesn't want his own life, it's just that he is afraid of these remaining ministers, his hatred in his previous life has long been over, and he doesn't want to fight for anything, he just wants to marry Tang Xuanlin and live a good life.

How can I prevent His Majesty from marrying?

This is a difficult problem to handle, and now Tang Xuanlin is still grounded in the East Factory because of his resistance, and he needs to think of a way by himself.

"Let's go see my mother," Bu Tong helped Bai Peony to get up, and he had to report his safety.

Bai Peony took Qi Tong's little hand back, "Come with me, the yard is full of craftsmen repairing, there is a path, everyone is behind." ”

"Everyone?" Bu Tong asked, "In addition to my father, mother, Aunt Qi and uncle, and others?" ”

Bai Peony nodded, "General Lie said that he made an appointment with Ah Tong, and he would bow to you after the matter was over, Ah Tong was in a coma for two days, so he waited in the mansion for two days, and one day the army was going to camp and go to the northwest, I thought he couldn't wait, but I didn't think you would wake up again." ”

Sworn?

Butong was helpless for a moment,

"Father agrees?"

Bai Peony covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm afraid my father has had a headache for a long time." ”

Bu Tong smacked his lips, Bai Peony seemed to remember something, and suddenly paused, "By the way, the Ninth Princess has ordered someone to ask a few times, thinking that you will go to the palace after you wake up." ”

Bu Tong shuddered when he thought of His Majesty's eyes full of coldness,

"I don't want to go to the imperial city, if she wants to go out of the palace to play, she will come to the palace to find it."

Bai Peony lowered her voice, "The ninth princess seems to know the friendship between Ah Tong and Lord Tang, and she heard about the marriage, and she has made several troubles in the palace, and she is unwilling to throw herself into the lake and hang the beam. ”

Butong's eyes widened,

"There is such a thing, why didn't my sister-in-law tell me earlier, and I really want to take countermeasures?"

Bai Peony looked serious and innocent, touching her bulging belly, "I'm so happy to see Ah Tong wake up, I forgot about ......"

……

Mrs. Qi's yard had been repaired, and everyone was playing chess in the yard, chatting and chatting, and when they saw the two of them coming in, everyone smiled and said, "Tong'er got up?" ”

Mrs. Qi was so surprised that she almost cried, ran up, and looked at Bu Tong carefully, "Tong'er, are you all right?" Go and see in the morning that you are still asleep, how can you get out of bed now, what about Liu Siyuan, what did she say? ”

Bu Tong hurriedly held Mrs. Qi's trembling hands tightly,

"Mother, mother rest assured, Tong'er has recovered, Liu Siyuan said that I just had injuries and rain, and I was very sleepy, so I was so sleepy, my daughter was not filial, which made my mother worried."

Mrs. Qi smiled with tears in her eyes,

"It's good to recover, that's good, Jingzhao, go to the front yard and call your in-laws and Yi Yang back."

Aunt Qi stepped forward to pull Mrs. Qi with a grin, "It's okay if the child is fine, you have been worried that you can't eat and sleep well for the past two days."

, I'll just say that you can't listen to our county lord Niang Niang Jiren Tianxiang. ”

Bu Tong smiled at Aunt Qi, only to feel that there was indeed someone missing here, and turned his head to look at Bai Peony, "Where did the uncle and brother go?" ”

Bai Peony smiled, "I went to the front yard to help the flower worker carry the grass and trees." ”

Bu Tingyun got up and listened carefully to the side for a while, confirming that Bu Tong was indeed fine, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, drink more tonic medicine in the house, and the young man will recover quickly." ”

Lie Zhanhu laughed out loud on the side, "I just said that Brother Bu and Mrs. Sister-in-law don't have to worry, Ah Tong is a God-given noble girl, it just so happens that I will go to the barracks tomorrow to assemble, today Ah Tong is recovering from a serious illness, then it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, we will bow down." ”

Bu Tingyun waved his hand again and again, his face was full of helplessness, "How can this work, what kind of person are you, she is just a little girl, how can she do it?" ”

Lie Zhanhu blew his beard and glared, "Why not, I really fell in love with your child, and I simply recognized you as my father-in-law!" ”

……

The two of you are arguing with each other.

Everyone laughed and watched these two big people in the court mix their mouths like children, laughing harmoniously and warmly, the laughter alarmed the oriole bird on the tree, making a crisp and beautiful sound, such a good day is the most wanted, and it is firm Butong an idea.

If you can live like this forever, what can you do if you bow your head and ask for it?

After a lively afternoon, everyone dispersed, Bu Tong returned to his yard, rummaged through the cabinet and found a delicate box, opened it to be a box of bright yellow, which was not attacked after being injured by the eldest prince before, the promise of His Majesty's reward, Bu Tong looked at it a few times and waved his hand to close it, and instructed the spring peach who was having dinner in Zhang Luo,

"Chun Tao, I remember that when I was awarded the title of county lord, His Majesty rewarded him with court clothes and crowns?"

Chun Tao crisply responded, "Yes, miss, it's just that after you read it, you thought it was too cumbersome and heavy to use, so you received it in the warehouse." ”

Bu Tong nodded, and gently painted himself in the mirror, "Go get it." ”

Chun Tao looked at Bu Tong, "Miss, you are just right now, but you are going out again." ”

Bu Tong reached out and touched the box, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Chun Tao, if I don't go again, I'm afraid that Rong Ping will kill himself in the palace." ”

Chun Tao looked at the box, and naturally understood what Bu Tong had in mind, so she hurriedly turned around and went to find it.

Bu Tong looked at the face in the mirror, carefully made up a little eyebrows, and didn't raise his head to speak, "January, go tell Xuanlin, and say that I will definitely not let him marry Rong Ping." ”

January had already seen what Bu Tong wanted to do, "Do you want to tell the lord about his plans?" ”

Bu Tong thought for a while, "Anyway, sooner or later, I want to know, let him eat and sleep well in the East Factory, and wait for the order." ”

……

In the evening, Bu Tong was dressed in a grand county lord uniform, with a dignified and cumbersome crown on his head, and stood at the gate of the imperial city with a bright yellow holy decree in his hand, although it was no longer the time to visit, the guards saw Bu Tong's dress and the things in his hands, so he hurriedly turned around to report, but a cup of tea, Ming Zhen appeared in front of Bu Tong, still smiling,

"The county lord is here, come in with the old slave, Your Majesty has been waiting for the county lord for two days, but the county lord is here, and his body is better?"

Sure enough, this was all expected, and Bu Tong still bowed his head respectfully,

"Thank you for your care, Butong is already very good, a few days ago, the emperor lost his manners, and today I came to ask for sin, and I want to ask for His Majesty's grace."

Mingzhen looked at the things in Butong's hand and smiled happily, "This is to ask for great grace." ”

Bu Tong smiled,

"Yes, for great grace."

……

The apse where Mu Di lived was still as solemn as usual, the front of the door was cleaned up, and the salty liquid that was full of that day and night was wiped clean, as if the bloody wind and rain of that night had never appeared.

"I've seen Your Majesty," Bu Tong stepped into the door and took a few steps forward, kneeling down to greet the person sitting next to the east desk watching the folds.

Seeing this, Emperor Mu hurriedly beckoned Butong to get up, smiling lovingly and gently, as before,

"Ah Tong is better? Why did I go out and recuperate at home. ”

If there was no previous matter, now Bu Tong is afraid that he still thinks that this majesty really cares about himself, but now he just sneered twice in his heart, and still bowed his head and said respectfully,

"Please also ask Your Majesty to retreat, the courtiers are here today for the loss of honor in front of the emperor the day before yesterday, in addition, I also want to ask Your Majesty to reward a promise agreed earlier."

Emperor Mu waved his hand, Ming Zhen hurriedly took away all the people who were waiting in the hall, Bu Tong knelt there, although his knees hurt, but he still maintained a flat posture of the holy decree, and did not exceed half a point of courtesy, until the people in the hall were gone, Mu Di looked at Bu Tong with deep meaning,

"Don't say anything like this, I know that you will come, and I will definitely come back to look for me as soon as I wake up, and sure enough, you have a crush on the overseer of the East Factory."

Bu Tong raised his head and looked at Mu Di without scruples,

"Your Majesty's words are too simple, since you are also reborn, you naturally know the ending of the previous life, Bu Tong was used by Mu Hequan, and finally ended up with a broken family, how can you let me not hate, it is not what Bu Tong wants to disrupt this situation again, but since there is another chance, why not vent for yourself."

Mu Di nodded and waved his hand, "Just get up and talk about it, there is no one else here." ”

Bu Tong thought about it, but it was like this, didn't he kneel in vain, and he got up with his hands and feet,

"Since Your Majesty remembers that Mu Hequan later forced you to abdicate, then Bu Tong can be regarded as speaking out for Your Majesty, isn't it?"

In this way, I still have a favor.

Mu Di raised his eyes and squinted at Butong,

"I remember that you were his number one military advisor back then, and you made great efforts."

Bu Tong only felt a drop of cold sweat slip on his back, and took a cup of tea handed over by Mu Di.

"That, the courtiers were really deceived at that time."

Mu Di smiled,

"What are you going to ask for?"

Butong lowered his head and pushed the holy decree over,

"The courtiers begged His Majesty to give him a marriage, and gave the courtiers a marriage to Lord Tang Xuanlin."

Emperor Mu raised his eyebrows, "I have already given Rong Ping to Xuanlin in marriage, Chrysostom Yuyan, and in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, the words are all spoken, how to take it back, you have no jokes, wouldn't it hurt the monarch's prestige to change the order every day." ”

Bu Tong pushed the holy decree forward,

"This golden mouth jade words are much earlier than the day before yesterday, besides, Your Majesty only gave the princess to Lord Tang, and the courtiers are the princesses of the protectors of the country personally appointed by Your Majesty, and they are the same as the princesses, and you didn't directly say that you pointed out the nine princesses to Lord Tang, why can't you write the names of the courtiers on this holy decree? The ninth princess doesn't like Lord Tang, and is even afraid of him, the two days have been enough, and His Majesty is also distressed when she thinks about it, if the ninth princess marries Dongchang, I am afraid that life will not be much better than Fanbang. ”

Mu Di seemed to be seriously considering this matter, and just when Bu Tong thought that he was about to agree, Mu Di suddenly looked pale, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Bu Tong was in trouble, "Why?" ”

Mu Di sat next to Butong and said as if chatting, "I was ousted from the throne by my own son before, and now I naturally have to be careful to avoid it in this life." ”

Butong spread his hands puzzled,

"But Mu Hequan has already been dethroned, don't you remember, Your Majesty?"

Mu Di nodded,

"Could it be that the person with the most hope of ascending to this position is not the one who is supported by the female Zhuge ? This time it's the fourth, and I can see it clearly. ”

Mu Di was worried that Mu Hesheng would usurp the throne?!

Butong laughed and laughed,

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this, Your Majesty naturally knows that His Majesty is the most respectful and respectful of His Majesty, and he will never rebel."

Mu Di thought carefully, his appearance was a little silly, but the words he said were hidden in the wind and rain, "Sheng'er will not rebel, but what if he wants to rebel?" Tang Xuanlin is from his mansion and is the person he recommended, of course I know this is your idea, but this means that Dongchang will stand on the side of the prince, if you marry Tang Xuanlin, I am afraid that even the Nanguo Mansion will turn to support the prince, won't my position be in jeopardy again? ”
