Chapter Ninety-Seven: Xiao Jing's Wedding
However, before waiting for the news of the marriage between Shen Meng and His Royal Highness the Prince, Shengjing City ushered in the news that the prince of Chen and the daughter of the Li family were married to Qin and Jin.
Hearing this news, Xie Li was standing in the courtyard of Yunxi Pavilion and climbing the flowers, and his heart was slightly shocked, and the pink begonia died halfway.
Unable to make a flower in a bottle, and unable to return to the treetop branches, Xie Li sighed, and could only let it fall into mud and dust.
"Why so suddenly?"
"Suddenly?" Shen Meng leaned on the railing, "I don't think it's sudden. ”
Shen Meng came this time to tell Xie Li about this.
"What's the explanation?" Xie Li had not received formal harem discipline, and he was also ignorant of the rules of these nobles. Fortunately, her character has always been like this, and she has never aroused suspicion.
"Your fourth sister has been happy for many days? Before the prince of Jing Shizi even married his wife, his eldest son was born, didn't he give the officials a handle? What's more, Jing Shizi is a person who attaches great importance to his face, your fourth sister is making trouble on the street, and how many people are watching his jokes.
And Sister Li, but the girl raised by Li Gelao, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, can marry the daughter of the Li family, which means that Jing Shizi has received the assistance of Li Gelao, when the officials are impeached, how can they not take care of the face of the old man? ”
Shen Meng smiled, "It's just a pity, a good person like the girl of the Li family is going to become a victim of this conspiracy after all." ”
"Your Majesty's marriage?" Xie Li raised his eyebrows, in a word.
"Aliko is a clever ghost." Shen Meng jumped down from the railing, scraped Xie Li's nose, leaned closer to the shackles and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday, in order to appease King Chen's father and son, His Majesty could only sacrifice the happiness of the Li family's girl. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't stop it?"
"Then King Chen is in the imperial study, crying, making trouble, and hanging himself, even His Majesty has no choice, let alone His Royal Highness the Prince? Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a senior, and this time His Royal Highness King Chen has suffered such a big loss, so he has to slow down. ”
In the end, Shen Meng couldn't help but sigh.
Xie Li nodded, "It's a pity." ”
Isn't it a pity to make Shen Mengdao say "good" girl?
"Then what about you and His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm ready to congratulate you." Aside from the matter, Xie Li didn't want to say more, so he changed his mind.
"Alley!" Shen Mengjiao snorted, "You are really ...... Sharp-eyed. After the marriage of Jing Shizi and the girl of the Li family. ”
"You're out of the way?"
"Ali is too smart, but it's not good, it's not good."
The two laughed together, and the begonia red that fell to the ground was stepped on during the fight, and the color was no longer visible.
Li Ge's hometown, the main hall.
Mrs. Li, Lord Li and Elder Li Ge were all sitting together, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
The girl of the Li family knelt on the ground and was sobbing softly.
Their son also stood in place at a loss, looking at the family in a daze.
"Grandfather, father, mother, sister, what's wrong with you?" Li Gongzi didn't know what was going on, so he received a holy decree and promised his sister someone, but why was everyone unhappy.
"Father, I don't agree to this marriage." Mrs. Li suppressed her anger, "How can our Shu'er marry Xiao Jing?" ”
"Why not?" Elder Li Ge sighed, "The holy decree is all over, and the golden and jade are good, and they are a good match." ”
Mrs. Li was so angry that she burst into tears, "But that Xiao Jing and Xie Tian taught and received it privately, and everyone knew about the secret tunes." Our Shu'er used to be a stepmother, she was only seventeen years old, how could she practice like this? ”
When the words fell, Miss Li, who was kneeling in the hall, cried even more breathlessly.
Elder Li Ge and Master Li didn't speak, just frowned and looked at the girl kneeling in the middle.
After a while, Elder Li Ge sighed heavily, "Shu'er, King Chen's father and son are blood relatives of the current saint, and the saint has the heart to accept them, do you understand?" ”
Miss Li raised her head and looked at Elder Li Ge with teary eyes.
"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty. I have served two dynasties and three generations of monarchs, and Your Majesty has treated our Li family well. Li Ge Lao closed his eyes tiredly, and the meaning of his words was clear and clear.
Miss Li turned her face to look at her father again.
The gentle and elegant father was also full of unbearability, but in the end, he didn't say anything to resist, only his mother was still scolding in a low voice, and her heart suddenly cooled.
The tear stains on his face are still there, but the sobbing sound is gone
"Why me?"
There are so many high-ranking officials and noble daughters in Shengjing City, and there are more than one hand that are more suitable than her, but why her?
She and Xiao Jing, people who can't beat the eight poles, why do they fall in love with her?
"Jing Shizi asked to marry himself." Li Ge Lao closed his eyes tiredly, "Shu'er, it's my grandfather who is sorry for you." ”
"He asked to marry?" The sadness in Miss Li's heart grew, "Okay, I understand." ”
She stood up, wiped the tears off her face, turned her head and handed the embroidered handkerchief in her hand to Mrs. Li, and said in a low voice: "Mother, don't be sad, just marry your daughter." ”
The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.
-----
Pingnan Hou Mansion, Furong Pavilion, and Xie Hui naturally got the news.
"The Li family is really willing, and their daughters can also be sent to the tiger and wolf's den." Xie Hui sneered, "It's really a model of loyalty and patriotism." ”
Old Madam Lu lifted her eyelids, looked at Xie Hui lukewarmly, and said in a choked voice: "Naturally, you don't feel sorry for your daughter, and you can do such a shameless thing." ”
Xie Hui smiled "hehe", "Didn't my mother say more?" It can be seen that the mother still feels sorry for Qingqing in her heart. ”
Old Madam Lu was used to seeing Xie Hui's nose on the face, so she stopped talking when she heard this, and changed the topic, "However, how could Xiao Jing fall in love with the girl of the Li family?" Didn't listen to ......."
Halfway through, Mrs. Lu understood King Chen's plan.
"Hey, Tian'er is pregnant, I hope she can live in harmony with the girl of the Li family in the future." Old Madam Lu sighed, "Sorry for the sound, remember the backup gift." ”
Mrs. Wang stood up and bowed.
Jing Shizi got married, and the Pingnan Hou Mansion naturally had to go.
Xie Li, as the eldest daughter, has no reason not to go.
Ten miles of red makeup, Xiao Jing rode on a tall horse, the smile on his face was shallow, and he couldn't tell whether he was really happy or forced to smile.
At the gate of King Chen's Mansion, Xie Li watched Xiao Jing step on the sedan chair and welcomed the girl of the Li family out.
Xi Niang's excited voice sounded in her ears, Xie Li smiled coldly at Xiao Jing's cold gaze, and smiled.
"I wish my cousin, a hundred years of good together, and an early birth of a noble son."
In his ears, Xiao Yi's congratulatory voice sounded with a smile, Xie Li involuntarily looked back at him, only to find that Xiao Yi was also looking at him, and his eyes were full of soft starlight.
