Chapter 80: The Gentleman in the Tree
Luo Fu was confused by Xue Rang's meaningful smile, the situation inside was not quite right, she wanted to go in and ask the emperor what happened, He Yu stopped her at the door: "Your Highness stays, Your Majesty has just ordered, saying that you want to be quiet, and no one is allowed to disturb." ”
Luo Fu stopped: "Gonggong He, is it ...... that the King of Zhennan and Xue Rang are here?" What happened? ”
When they spoke, He Yu had been waiting by the side, and the conversation was heard clearly, he knew what was happening, but he couldn't say it at the moment, so he had to say: "Your Highness, don't be impatient, when Your Majesty understands that he will summon you, you better go back and wait." ”
He Yu has always been strict-mouthed, Luo Fu couldn't ask anything from his mouth, and he couldn't break in, so he had to give up.
But she was always uneasy, and this uneasiness lasted until the evening.
In the evening, the emperor summoned Xue Rang again, and Xue Rang came out of the emperor's place and went straight to Luo Fu, which was the first time Luo Fu had seen him show such a peaceful and kind expression to her.
It's just that what he said was not as beautiful as the expression on his face: "Your Majesty asked the minister today if he had a woman he liked, and said that he would marry the minister." ”
Luo Fu didn't understand why he said this with himself, and maintained his face: "My father is also for the good of the general, and when the general is established, it is time to find a woman to start a family." ”
Xue Rang said: "The minister knows that His Majesty is for the good of the minister, and it just so happens that the minister also has a woman he likes, so he pushed the boat down the river and asked His Majesty to give him a marriage." ”
"Really? That's good, but I wonder what the general told me about this? Shouldn't this matter be told to the concubine as soon as possible? ”
She is inexplicable, Xue Rang will not come to her for no reason, since he came to her, and he is so respectful to her, could it be that the woman he likes has something to do with him? Or is it someone close to you?
Xue Rang then said: "This matter is related to His Highness, and the minister naturally wants to come and tell His Highness, because ......" He deliberately slowed down his tone and said: "Because the woman that the minister likes and wants to ask the emperor for marriage is His Royal Highness!" ”
Luo Shi didn't react at first, paused, understood, and looked at him in horror: "What did you say?" ”
Xue Rang was very satisfied when he saw the expression on her face, and repeated it slowly: "The minister likes His Royal Highness, so please ask the emperor to marry His Royal Highness!" ”
This is just!
Luo Fu suddenly remembered that in his previous life, the emperor also wanted to give Xue Rang a marriage, but he refused, saying that he didn't need a woman to take care of him, but he was a dignified general, and everyone was greedy for such a fat piece of meat, and the emperor finally gave him a marriage, but it was not the daughter of any official in the court, the girl had an innocent background and no background, and the emperor's purpose in doing this was not to give Xue Rang any opportunity to strengthen his power.
But how did it come to this day, Xue Rang actually hit himself with his idea?
Luo Shi sneered and stood up: "The general is joking with the main palace? I don't remember how familiar I am with the general, let alone unfamiliar, the general has been out of chaos all the year round, and I haven't even met you a few times, I really don't know where the general's liking comes from! ”
Xue Rangman said nonchalantly: "If you like it, do you want to score a time and place?" It's just the first time I saw it, and I felt happy in my heart, and I liked it, and I never felt this way for other women. ”
Is it her pleasure to like her?
"Xue Rang, I don't know what your purpose is for saying this, but I can tell you clearly, don't dream, your purpose will definitely not be achieved."
He didn't refute that he had ulterior motives, and even asked, "Really?" ”
seemed to think it was funny to tease her, and said: "The minister just went to find Your Majesty, and Your Majesty said that he would consider it, and His Highness will wait for news with the minister." ”
And Luo Fu finally knew why she was stopped at the door when she went to see the emperor during the day, and the emperor was also very entangled, originally wanted to match Luo Fu and Jiang Shan, who knew that Xue Rang suddenly came out, saying that he liked Luo Fu and wanted to marry Luo Fu.
If Xue Rang was just Xue Rang, the emperor might not be so entangled.
But Xue Rang is Xue Guifei's own brother, the emperor's eldest brother, if Luo Fu is married to Xue Rang, then Xue Guifei has to call her sister-in-law, and the girl becomes a sister-in-law, which is not a matter of any dynasty or generation!
Although the emperor's family does not rely on the relationship between the people, and the blood identity is above all else, it is not good to say it after all, it is too absurd.
But Xue Rangcai was crowned a general, and there was no general in the court who had such merits as him, and the emperor was not good enough to reject him in person, so he felt entangled in what kind of excuse to use to reject him.
And the gossip about this soon spread.
After Li Bu was promoted to commander-in-chief, he had a lot of things to do, and often just got out of one thing, and someone came to him with another thing, mostly because of the matter of defense, the emperor, the princess and the ministers who came with him had to be protected, and there were endless troubles that needed to be dealt with.
He finally stole time to take a break, and on the way back to the duty room, he met two palace maids, who were whispering in the shade under the tree, and one said: "I never thought that General Xue would actually like the fifth princess, and I have never heard of any intersection between these two?" How is it good? ”
The other said: "Then who knows, but if Your Majesty really marries the fifth princess to General Xue, then what should be said about this generation?" Daughter becomes sister-in-law? This is unreasonable! ”
"Silly you, how can this be the case, of course it is a separate one, in the future, the concubine saw the fifth princess calling her sister-in-law, and the fifth princess naturally called herself a son in the face of His Majesty."
Li Bu raised his eyebrows, walked over, and interjected coldly: "Xue Rang said it himself?" ”
The two palace maids were taken aback, turned around and lowered their heads tremblingly: "Li ...... Commander Lee. ”
"Let me ask you, Xue Rang likes the fifth princess, did Xue let himself say it?"
Although the two palace maids were strange about the purpose of his question, they still said honestly: "Yes...... It was General Xue who told His Majesty personally, and asked His Majesty to give him a marriage, but His Majesty has not yet agreed, and he probably thinks ...... Think it's ridiculous. ”
Xue Rang said before that he wanted to prevent the emperor from marrying Luo Fu to Jiang Shan, although the emperor and the king of Zhennan are brothers and sisters, but the brothers still have suspicions, not to mention that the king of Zhennan is a king with a different surname, once there is a suspicion, Xue Rang can take the opportunity to win over the king of Zhennan. But if the emperor and the king of Zhennan become in-laws, Jiang Shanzi will inherit his father's business in the future, and with the support of the Zhennan Palace, Luo Jun is very likely to be promoted to the position of prince.
So Xue Rang must not let Luo Fu marry Jiang Shan, but he didn't expect that his so-called method was to marry Luo Fu himself.
Li Bu thought it was funny, and waved his hand to let go of the two palace maids. After the two palace maids left, Li Bu saw Luo Fu coming from afar, followed by Jiang Shan, who also looked anxious.
He leapt into the tree, and then the foliage covered it so that he could hear the unreserved conversation between the two men below.
Jiang Yan frowned: "Xue Rang must have other purposes for doing this, but what is he doing it for?" Or I'll go and talk to Your Majesty!" ”
Luo Shi grabbed him: "Father has his own considerations, Xue Rang came to me in the evening, I see that he looks confident, and he is still hiding his back hand, let's wait and see what happens, even if my father really agrees, you have to ask me what I mean, I don't agree, no matter how much he does, it's useless." ”
Xue Rang didn't show any signs before doing this, and the conversation between the two in the evening also showed that Xue Rang did it deliberately for other purposes.
For what, exactly?
Jiang Yan will inherit the entire Zhennan Mansion in the future, if she marries Jiang Zhan, then for Luo Jun there will be the support of the entire Zhennan Palace, even if the emperor looks at the face of the Zhennan Palace, Luo Jun is also very sure that he can become the prince.
Now that the position of the prince is vacant, everyone is staring at the position of the prince.
Luo Jun and Luo Rui are still young, and the position of the prince is still a little far away for them, but Luo Rui has Xue Rang behind him, which no one can compare, as long as Xue Rang supports Luo Rui with all his strength, the position of the prince will be in his pocket sooner or later.
But if Luo Jun had Zhennan Wangfu behind him, the situation would be very different.
Luo Shi figured it out.
Xue Rang is purely here to make trouble, it doesn't matter whether she marries her or not, the important thing is that she can't marry Jiang Shan.
"I see." She looked at Jiang Yan and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't marry Xue Rang, he wants to use me, but there is no door." ”
Jiang Yan was still confused: "What did you think of?" Huaiyi, Xue Rang is not so easy to deal with, you must not be reckless, you can discuss with me if there is anything, I am a man, there may not be as many ways as you, but I am willing to do anything for you. ”
Luo Shi never doubted this.
"You just go back and wait in peace, there's nothing for you to do, when do you think I lied to you?"
Li Bu saw Jiang Shan's restless hand quietly stretched out through the not-so-bright palace lamp under the tree.
Do you still want to hold hands when no one is around?
Li Bu gritted his teeth, broke a branch from the branch, and threw it far away, the movement of the branch startled Jiang Shan, he quickly retracted his hand, and looked at the place where the sound came from, and stopped in front of Luo Fu quite a man.
"Who!"
But there was no movement other than the sound of branches falling to the ground.
Luo Fu tugged at Jiang Yan's sleeve: "You go back first, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
Jiang Shanyou looked forward uneasily: "But ......"
"It's fine." Luo Fu deliberately raised his voice: "Today's chief guard is Li Bu, he is a character with hands and eyes, he is guarded, not to mention assassins in Cheng'an Temple, even ants can't get in, don't worry." ”
It was really inappropriate for the two of them to stay together for such a long time, and besides, it was so late, Jiang Yan had to leave first, and told her a lot of words before leaving, like an old mother.
After Jiang Yan left, Luo Fu stopped in place, looked around, and finally looked up at the treetops: "Gentleman on the tree, have you heard enough?" ”
