Chapter 6 Details of the Divine Mandate
Cheng Yanjin led the attendants to leave the Shuai Mansion and returned to the palace, and got off the war horse outside the palace gate. The man hurried over and took the reins.
Xiao Huangmen, who was on duty in front of the palace, saw him coming back, bowed down and said, "Cheng Lao Chitose is back?" Cheng Yanjin said: "I'm back, which of you goes to the saint and says that the old man is back?" Xiao Huangmen hurriedly said, "No need to go back." The saint has already passed down the word, please come back and go to the imperial study to see the driver immediately. Cheng Yanjin heard this, nodded and said, "Okay, the old man will go directly to see the driver." With that, he stepped into the palace and came directly to the imperial study.
The little eunuch who was the deacon's inner chamber under the eaves of the outer corridor of the imperial study saw Cheng Yanjin coming back, hurriedly lifted the curtain, and said, "Old Chitose, go in, the Holy Lord and Xu Junshi are waiting for Old Chitose." ”
Cheng Yanjin hurriedly stepped into the imperial study. Li Shimin and Xu Maocheng played against each other in front of the chess title, while waiting for news from him.
Cheng Yanjin came to the side and bowed and said, "Long live, the old minister is back." ”
Li Shimin stopped the chess pieces in his hand, raised his head, and asked, "Old Aiqing, how did you go to the Shuai Mansion this time?" What did Princess Liu and Marshal Fan say? ”
Cheng Yanjin didn't speak, laughed first, and said: "The old minister has long said that Princess Liu is a happy person, and she is also looking forward to the early reunion of her son and daughter-in-law." As soon as Princess Liu heard that the saint was going to personally preside over the marriage of Ding Shan and Lihua, she naturally couldn't ask for it. Marshal Fan's side also agreed, but he only offered to pay a thorough courtesy, and the others didn't say anything. ”
"Oh." Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's good." Since it is a decent wedding, it is certain that the etiquette is thorough. So, what about Xue Dingshan? What did he say? ”
"This ......" Cheng Yanjin paused slightly when he saw Li Shimin asking Xue Dingshan what he meant.
Xu Maogong looked at him and said, "Fourth brother, if you have anything to say, just say it." Could it be that Xue Ding Mountain is still reluctant to fail? ”
"Alas!" Cheng Yanjin sighed and said, "Third brother, he didn't say anything. It's just that I was a little unhappy when I saw the meaning on his face. ”
Xu Maogong nodded and said, "It's no wonder, after all, he has been too kind to Marshal Fan in the past few years. Now that he wants to marry again, there will inevitably be some embarrassment when they meet, and he must have some concerns in his heart. ”
Li Shimin frowned, and said with a little worry on his face: "Then, will there be another accident this time?" In case she annoys Marshal Fan again, she leaves again in a fit of anger, what will happen to these hundreds of thousands of horses. ”
Xu Maogong smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about this long live. Fan Lihua is now the marshal of the Tang Dynasty, and is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Xue family, who was only attached to the Pingliao Palace. Even if there is some discord between their husband and wife, Marshal Fan will never leave the camp again for personal reasons, regardless of the overall situation. As long as we create more opportunities for them and give them more time, I believe that they will eventually be reconciled. Li Shimin nodded and said, "The military advisor is reasonable. This matter is due to the hard work of Lao Aiqing and Lao Aiqing. Cheng Yanjin smiled and said, "Long live, please rest assured, the old minister must have cooked properly." ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "I hope this time I can drink a comfortable glass of happy wine." The three of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Xue Dingshan sent Cheng Yanjin back to the middle hall, and Princess Liu was still waiting for him.
Liu Yingchun looked at his son, angry and distressed, and asked, "Cheng Lao Chitose is gone?" ”
Xue Dingshan hurriedly said, "Let's go." ”
"Alas!" Princess Liu sighed, slightly resentful, and said with some concern: "Ding Shan, did you listen to what Cheng Qiansui said?" Xue Dingshan nodded and said, "The child heard." ”
Princess Liu nodded and said, "It's good to hear it." What's going on in your mind? ”
Seeing that his mother asked him what he thought, Xue Dingshan lowered his head and muttered for a long time before he said: "Since it is the kindness of the saint and Cheng Lao Qiansui, the child does not dare to disobey it. ”
When Princess Liu heard her son say this, she couldn't help but start worrying again. said: "Ding Shan, you ...... Alas! Aren't you really willing to marry Pear Blossom? ”
Xue Dingshan was silent, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little depressing.
Xue Yulian looked at Xue Dingshan from the side and said, "Yunfeng, if you are unwilling and unwilling, put the words in your head as soon as possible." I think that since the Holy One is sympathetic to you, he will not force you to marry you if you do not want to. If you are really unwilling to speak clearly as soon as possible, everything is still in time. Don't regret it when things come to an end, and then make the chickens and dogs restless, and lose both. ”
Xue Dingshan stood there, still silent. After a long time, he said, "Mother, there are still important business in the camp that the children need to deal with. The child retired to his mother for the time being. ”
Princess Liu looked at him, but she was also speechless for a long time, and finally sighed deeply, did not speak, and waved her hand gently.
Xue Dingshan gave a deep salute, turned around and walked out of the hall.
"Stop." Xue Yulian drank softly and said, "Mother asked you something, how can you turn around and leave without saying a word." What do you mean by that? ”
Xue Dingshan heard Xue Yulian's scolding and stopped. However, he did not turn around. said: "Sister, it was my mother who allowed my little brother to go, what does it have to do with my sister?" The younger brother has already said that I just obey the will of the Holy One, is there anything else that has not been explained? After speaking, he lifted the curtain with his hand, walked out of the atrium, and walked away.
Xue Yulian made his face crimson when he said a few words, and he had the heart to call Xue Dingshan a few words of reprimand, looked at Princess Liu, who was full of worry, and swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
Princess Liu looked at the back of her son's departure, and her heart was full of apprehension for a while. turned around, looked at her daughter Xue Yulian with a little anger on her face, and said, "Yulian, your brother has this temper, don't worry about him." When she is fine, persuade Lihua more, let her be more tolerant of Ding Shan for the time being, and leave some time for Ding Shan, I believe that he will figure it out one day sooner or later. ”
Xue Yulian looked at her mother and said secretly in her heart: "Son's mother, you only know that you protect your precious son, have you ever known that Aunt Ning's broken heart like powder can no longer withstand any harm." If you get married this time, even if there is any little accident, no one can imagine what Aunt Ning will do. At that time, you and my mother and daughter may not even have time to regret it! However, these words cannot be said to Princess Liu in person. Xue Yulian had no choice but to suppress her worries and anxieties deep in her heart.
