Chapter 125: A good deal
"Is there anything else the Queen Mother has to say?" Yun Feng asked.
Yun Rongjue was silent, staring at Chu Yin with heavy eyes, seeing what Chu Yin had to say and do.
"Your Majesty, there is Lord Xiao in the palace to intercede for Jiang Wu, Lord Xiao's words are true, the emperor is also kind-hearted, but the mourning family feels that because of Jiang Wu, it seems inappropriate to leave her alone."
Chu Yin's meaning is very clear, it is to hold Jiang Wu responsible.
"What does the queen mother mean to punish that little girl? This is not a difficult thing to say, but I don't know how the queen mother wants to be punished? Yun Feng asked.
"Fifty court battles." Chu Yin said.
Yun Rongjue's eyes were cold, and coldness swelled up, and even Yun Feng was stunned.
Fifty court battles, even if it is a man, it is not easy to bear, unless the palace maid in the palace has committed a serious crime, it is generally only more than ten or twenty punishments, if these fifty boards fall on Jiang Wu, her little life will be gone.
Yun Rongjue's eyes were shining with cold light, "The queen mother wants her life, and the court battle is fifty, even this strong internal official may not be able to bear it." ”
Yun Feng coughed lightly, "Queen Mother, this ...... It's really heavy on a little girl, and it's not entirely to blame her. ”
Chu Yin fixed her eyes and looked at Yun Rongjue, her eyes calm, "Since the emperor and Jue'er are both interceding for that girl," she sighed lightly, "Well, that girl has been serving Jue'er well, this court battle is fifty, you can be exempted for the time being." ”
Yun Rongjue's dark eyes moved slightly, and Chu Yin had something to say.
"But Jue'er, you need to promise one thing to mourn the family."
"Mother, please speak." Yun Rongjue said softly.
Chu Yin fixed his eyes for a moment, and when he turned his head to look at Yun Feng, he deliberately smiled on his face, "Your Majesty, the mourning family thinks so, Jue'er is also at this age, the emperor sees, even King Shu is married, Jue'er's marriage should be decided." ”
"Jue'er, the mourning family chose the Zhang family girl as the concubine for you, as long as you marry the Zhang family girl, the little girl's punishment will be exempted." Chu Yin said.
Yun Rongjue's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "The queen mother is trying to force her son." ”
Chu Yin let out a chuckle, and her voice was gentle, "Look at what Jue'er said, the mourning family is also for your good, how can you always not get married at your age?" Jue'er don't worry, the princess chosen by the mourning family for you is the best, whether it is appearance, family background, or talent. ”
"Fifth brother, in fact, what the queen mother said is also reasonable, you have already reached the age of marriage, since the queen mother chose the princess for you, you might as well agree." Yun Feng said.
The two looked at each other, and there was an undercurrent.
Chu Yin's face did not change, "Jue'er, you have to think clearly, if you are willing to marry the girl of the Zhang family, this matter will pass like this, if you are unwilling, the mourning family has no choice, this country has national laws, that little girl will not escape punishment, the court battle is fifty, and it is cost-effective to change Jue'er's comfort." ”
……
In the past two days, Yun Rongjue has always been preoccupied, Jiang Wu is worried, she asked him, he didn't say anything to her.
The leaves rustle in the wind outside, and in the study, Yun Rongjue holds a pen in his hand, and every word he writes is different from usual.
Yu Lie watched, worried about him.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, followed by the crisp voice of the little girl.
The last stroke of Yun Rongjue's words fell horizontally, and the ink splashed aside, "Come in." ”
The little girl pushed the door and entered, holding a porcelain plate with delicate pastries on it, "Your Highness, the slave maid has made some plum blossom cakes." ”
Yun Rongjue raised his eyes, and the little girl's well-behaved and agile appearance came into view, just looking at her like this, it made his heart soften, "Let's let it go." ”
Jiang Wu put down the porcelain plate, "Your Highness should eat it while it is hot, otherwise the aroma of plum blossom cake and plum blossom will fade when it is cold." ”
Yun Rongjue pulled his lips and smiled lightly, "I know, there are still some important things to deal with in this hall, you can go out first." ”
Jiang Wu has always been well-behaved and polite, he has something to deal with, she never bothered willfully, and turned around to leave.
The door closed, Yun Rongjue's eyes sank, he put down the pen in his hand, looked at the slightly messy paper, and said slowly after a long time, "Yu Lie, you say, what should the hall do." ”
Yu Lie's eyes hesitated.
This question stumped him.
"His Royal Highness doesn't like the girl of the Zhang family, and insists on marrying her, His Royal Highness is not happy, and he is not good for the girl of the Zhang family," Yu Lie said, "But ......"
Yun Rongjue glanced at Yu Lie, and then said, "But if this palace does not agree to the queen mother's request, she will be severely punished." ”
Yu Lie licked his lips, and his mood was also heavy.
This is a dilemma, no matter which one you choose, it will be Your Highness who will suffer in the end.
"Your Highness, do you want to try to talk to the girl of the Zhang family, if she doesn't want to marry, the Queen Mother can't be persecuted." Yu Lie thought and said.
Yun Rongjue chuckled, "I understand the queen mother's temperament, if it weren't for the dredging, she wouldn't easily push people out, since she chose the Zhang family girl, there are some things, she must have made it clear to the Zhang family girl, if the Zhang family girl really has no intention, she will not agree to the queen mother, even if the palace goes to her, it is useless." ”
Yu Lie looked lost, "Your Highness ......"
Yun Rongjue was silent for a moment and then said slowly, "You go out first, and the main hall will be quiet alone." ”
Yu Lie bowed his head and withdrew from the study.
After Yu Lie exited the study, he met Jiang Wu in the courtyard.
"Yu Lie, is Your Highness okay? I see that His Highness has always been in a bad mood these two days. Jiang Wu said.
Yu Lie looked at Jiang Wu, his eyes were complicated, and after a while, he said: "Jiang Wu, Your Highness is in a high position, many times, he has his own last resort, do you have to be more considerate of Your Highness?" ”
Jiang Wu was slightly flustered, she didn't know why Yu Lie suddenly said such things to her.
"Yu Lie, what's wrong? Is something happening? She asked worriedly.
Yu Lie opened his mouth, stopped talking, and shook his head helplessly, "It's nothing, it's just that Your Highness has always trusted you, and you are waiting for Your Highness personally, so I want to tell you a thing or two." ”
Jiang Wu sighed, "Don't worry, I will take care of Your Highness, and I won't bother Your Highness." ”
Yu Lie smiled and nodded.
In the study, Yun Rongjue leaned on the soft collapse, supported her forehead with one hand, her eyes closed, and what appeared in front of her was the smiling face of the little girl.
The corners of his lips unconsciously raised a shallow smile.
But suddenly!
The smiling face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by the cry of pain of the little girl, who was set up on the bench, and the thick planks struck her again and again, and broke her skin.
Her anguished face overlapped with the one she had had been years ago.
"Your Highness...... Purple...... Zi Yan ...... It's so uncomfortable......"
Zi Yan's appearance when she was executed and the scene of the little girl being punished are intertwined.
Keep reproducing.
Suddenly!
Yun Rongjue opened his eyes, stared at his eyes, his breathing fluctuated, and his handsome face was filled with sweat.
His hands were clenched into fists, and there was a slight sadness in his eyes.
……
Changle Palace.
Chu Yin squinted slightly, looking at Yun Rongjue, she picked up the tea bowl in her hand and drank it slowly, "Jue'er has thought about it?" ”
Yun Rongjue said lightly: "Yes, if the queen mother wants her sons to marry, her sons will marry." ”
Chu Yin chuckled, "Jue'er is right, you are the status of a noble prince and prince, at this age, how can there be a reason not to marry, since Jue'er has figured it out, then the mourning family and the emperor will choose a date to set the wedding between Jue'er and the girl of the Zhang family." ”
"The queen mother is slow," Yun Rongjue said, "The son promised the queen mother to get married, but I also hope that the queen mother will give the son the right to choose." ”
Chu Yin's hand playing with the tea bowl paused slightly, and looked at Yun Rongjue, "Choose?" Jue'er, what does this mean? ”
Yun Rongjue said slowly, Chu Yin's face sank.
"Jue'er doesn't want to marry the girl of the Zhang family?"
"The queen mother is thinking about her sons, even so, the queen mother can't care about the wishes of her sons, right? And the girl of the Jiang family is no worse than the girl of the Zhang family, what does the queen mother think? ”
Chu Yin was dark, "Although the girl of the Jiang family is good, the queen mother still likes Zhang Ruo's child more, since you promised the mourning family to get married, why bother to refute the mourning family here." ”
"Don't forget, the queen mother, this is the marriage of the son, is it all because the queen mother likes it, and completely ignores the thoughts of the son? And the queen mother also sent a selection portrait to her sons before, and the sons were also selected from the queen mother's choice for her sons, but now, the queen mother is reluctant and regrets. ”
Chu Yin was speechless by Yun Rongjue's few words.
At the beginning, she asked people to send those portraits to Yun Rongjue, as Yun Rongjue said, he chose from them, which was reasonable.
After the mother and son stalemate for a moment, Chu Yin relieved, "That's it, since you fancy the girl of the Jiang family, then let her be, but, Zhang Ruo's child, you can't ignore her, she will be your side concubine." ”
"Jue'er, this palace and you each take a step back." Chu Yin is leisurely.
Yun Rongjue's thin lips tugged at the corners of his lips, "Okay." ”
————
The Lin'an Mansion suddenly became lively. It's like there's something happy.
Jiang Wu felt curious, but when he asked the steward and others in the house, they all said that they didn't know, but they only knew that it was ordered from above.
"Xiao Nan, you say, what's going on in our house, it's been so lively these days!" Jiang Wu was carrying the basket and couldn't think of a reason.
She didn't notice the slight change in Nanfu's expression beside her.
"I don't know, there should be good things after all, and these are not something we can control." Nanfu said.
Jiang Wu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "Yes, it's always a good thing, there are good things in the palace, that is, there are good things in the palace, there are good things in His Highness, and there are good things in His Highness, so it's good!" ”
Nanfu listened to Jiang Wu's words and pulled out a smile.
"Celestial Princess."
Suddenly, the two saw Yun Songzhen walking towards them.
After Yun Songzhen got married, she lived in the princess's mansion in Chang'an City.
"You're out to buy something." Yun Songzhen lowered her eyes slightly.
"Back to the princess, yes, the slave maid and Jiang Wu came out to buy some things for the palace." Nanff responded.
Yun Songzhen squinted at Jiang Wu, and pulled her cheeks upward, "This princess almost forgot, the fifth brother's mansion has been much more lively recently, and it is also the fifth brother's noble status, and he is the emperor's younger brother who was given by his father, and the fifth brother's marriage is a big deal, so naturally it is not sloppy." Yun Songzhen didn't seem to have any intention of saying it.
Jiang Wu was stunned when he heard this.
"Married? Does the princess mean that Her Royal Highness is going to get married? She was amazed.
Yun Songzhen opened her eyes wide, blinked at Jiang Wu, and laughed, "Why, what are you doing so surprised, don't you know that the fifth brother is going to get married?" ”
Jiang Wu's breathing was slightly heavy, her pink lips were pursed, she really didn't know.
Therefore, the excitement of the palace in the past few days is for His Royal Highness to get married?
Seeing that Jiang Wu was silent for a long time, Yun Songzhen's sarcastic smile became heavier, "Won't it?" It's not surprising that anyone doesn't know this, but you don't know? It's really ridiculous, the fifth brother agreed to the queen mother for you, and you still don't know anything about marrying a relative? ”
Jiang Wu was even more puzzled, "For the slave?" ”
Yun Rongjue married for her?
Yun Songzhen hooked the corners of her lips, "Jiang Wu, you are really heartless, you provoked His Royal Highness Ling Chi Tuesday because you hurt people, but you left it all behind, originally the Queen Mother was going to punish you with fifty rods, and the fifth brother agreed to the marriage of the Queen Mother in order not to let you be punished." ”
"Jiang Wu, when did you cultivate the blessing that you have to maintain like this from the fifth brother." Yun Songzhen said.
The heavier Jiang Wu's breathing became, a pair of small hands clenched tightly, and she only felt a buzzing in her head.
"Gong ...... Princess, there is still something in the house of the slaves and maids, so I will retire first. Seeing Jiang Wu's bad face, Nanfu hurriedly pulled her and Yun Songzhen to say goodbye and left quickly.
Jiang Wu returned to the palace, and the mansion was busy up and down.
It turned out that these busy and lively things were nothing else, it was Yun Rongjue who was going to get married.
Nanfu looked at Jiang Wu and said worriedly, "Xiao Wu, you ...... If you want to open it, there is no way to do it. ”
Jiang Wu lowered his eyes, and after a while, he turned to look at Nanfu, "Xiao Nan, you already knew, didn't you?" ”
Nanfu lowered her eyes and nodded helplessly.
"Xiao Wu, you...... You okay? ”
Jiang Wu pulled his lips and smiled faintly, "I'm fine." ”
Yun Rongjue came back from the next court, and Jiang Wu waited for him to eat.
"Sister, why is there a lot less talk today." Yun Rongjue glanced at her and asked in a voice.
The little girl was silent for a moment.
He straightened up and pulled the little girl in front of him, "Sister has something on her mind?" Hugh will hide it from the main temple. ”
Jiang Wu hesitated for a long time and said slowly: "Your Highness, you're getting married, right?" ”
The light smile on Yun Rongjue's face gradually solidified and gradually dispersed, and he lowered his eyes to look at the little girl in his arms, "Sister knows." ”
Jiang Wu bowed, "Well, it turns out that the house has been lively these days for His Royal Highness's marriage, no wonder." ”
Yun Rongjue looked at the person in his arms, he deliberately didn't let her know about this matter, but he also knew that he couldn't hide it for too long. He has explained everything in the house, but it is inevitable that some people will say that they will leak their mouths.
"What did Nanff tell you?"
Jiang Wu shook his head, "No, yes...... It was the slave who overheard someone else saying that His Royal Highness was going to get married, so suddenly. She couldn't help but mutter.
Yun Rongjue looked at Jiang Wu and asked a few words tentatively.
Confirm that she only knew that he was going to get married.
Yun Rongjue was talking to her about this, and his tone sounded light-hearted, as if this marriage was not a bad thing for him.
But......
Yun Songzhen's words are vivid in her ears, and she can't forget them.
He agreed to save her from punishment.
"Is Your Highness happy to get married?" She asked in a low voice.
Yun Rongjue's eyelashes blinked slightly, and after a while, a smile appeared, "It doesn't matter if you are happy or not, as the queen mother said, the sixth brother is married, and the elder brother of this palace has reached the age, and there is no reason not to get married." ”
Jiang Wu lowered his eyes, although she deliberately covered her emotions, he could still see the emotions that emerged from her.
"My sister is worried, isn't she?" He looked at her, "Rest assured, sister, sister has a place in the heart of this temple." He took her little hand and put it to his heart.
Jiang Wu pulled out a smile, but in his heart, he was filled with emotions.
Inside the Royal Palace.
Jiang Sumo walked out of the Jiaofang Hall and met Yun Songzhen on the palace corridor.
"Sumo has seen the eldest princess."
"Miss Jiang, don't be so outside, in a short time, Miss Jiang will be Song Zhen's fifth sister-in-law," Yun Songzhen said with a smile, "Miss Jiang, this is just meeting the queen?" ”
Jiang Su Mowen smiled lightly, "Yes, Su Mo is going to get married soon, and the queen has something to explain." ”
"So that's the case, Miss Jiang is going to marry the fifth brother, it's a good blessing, my fifth brother is top-notch in terms of appearance, character and talent."
Jiang Sumo nodded, "What the eldest princess said is that His Royal Highness King Lin'an is the dragon and phoenix among people. ”
"Miss Jiang is everyone's best girl, after the door, she and the fifth brother are also matched, I think the two will be in love and happy in the future."
"Borrow the words of the eldest princess."
"However, Miss Jiang, don't think Song Zhen is talking too much, there is one thing, Song Zhen still wants to tell the girl."
"Princess, please speak."
"Miss Jiang will be happy with her fifth brother in the future, but my fifth brother has a girl by her side, and she is quite favored by the fifth brother on weekdays, so she has a lot of favor with the fifth brother, and there is no one in her eyes, Miss Jiang should be careful of this girl."
Jiang Sumo's eyelashes blinked, knowing who Yun Songzhen was talking about.
"Princess Sumosher reminds me that I will be careful."
"That's good."
While the two were talking, a maidservant girl hurriedly walked over and said in a low voice: "Eldest princess, Jiang Wu went to Changle Palace, I heard that it was for the sake of His Royal Highness King Lin'an, and now the Queen Mother is angry and is about to scold her." ”
Yun Songzhen's eyebrows rose when she heard this, and the corners of her lips tugged, "Got it." ”
Jiang Sumo heard the maid's words clearly, and she stepped forward, "Princess, but the maid Jiang Wu next to Her Highness, she was punished by the Queen Mother?" ”
Yun Songzhen smiled and comforted: "Girl, don't worry, it's not a big deal, the Queen Mother will solve it." ”
"But I didn't hear that the Queen Mother was responsible, and the responsibility could be big or small, she was the person next to Her Highness, so it was better to inform Your Highness."
Yun Songzhen stopped Jiang Sumo, "The girl doesn't have to, not to mention that the Queen Mother will deal with it, that girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the girl doesn't need to worry about such a person." ”
Jiang Sumo hesitated for a moment and then bowed his head, "Since the princess said so, let's go, then Su Mo will retire first." ”
Yun Songzhen nodded with a smile and watched Jiang Sumo leave.
"Let's go, go to Changle Palace and have a look." She hooked her lips and turned to walk towards Changle Palace.
……
In the Changle Palace, Jiang Wu knelt in front of Chu Yin.
"You mean, you're willing to be tortured?" Chu Yin is leisurely.
Jiang Wu lowered his head and lowered his eyes, "Yes, the slave is willing to be punished, I only wish the Queen Mother to be merciful and forgiving, and don't let His Highness do what he doesn't want to do." ”
