Chapter 141: Marriage
When Luo Qing and Shu Yige returned to Chuxiu Palace together, Luo Qing walked very slowly, as if he was thinking about something.
Shu Yige has been friends with Luo Qing for many years, and she knows what she is thinking in her heart.
"I'll accompany you to take a look, although I don't think it's necessary, such a friend, asking a reason is just hurting others and hurting yourself, but I know your affection, if you want to ask, I'll accompany you to ask."
"That's it, it's gone."
Luo Qing smiled lightly.
"Speaking of which, I'm not as free as you."
If you want to say why Zhu Yanran is like this, it's just that she is confused, and she feels that Luo Qing is born among the top among the show girls, and Gu Mingrou has a good family background, so she will definitely be selected.
It just so happened that Luo Qing, Shu Yige and Gu Mingrou were not on the right track, she saw that the opportunity was coming, so she had a plan, wanting to kill three birds with one stone, and if the three of them failed, she had a better chance, and she was mistaken by being smart instead of being smart.
Luo Qing and Shu Yige met Zeng Xiangyun when they returned to Chuxiu Palace.
"The queen also sent someone to interrogate me, and I know a thing or two, it's all because of the aconitum I gave Miss Zhu, and I can't help you."
After experiencing Zhu Yanran's incident, Luo Qing couldn't help but think about it, did Zeng Xiangyun really know nothing?
But Zeng Xiangyun's face was so genuine, it didn't seem to be fake......
Luo Qing couldn't help but laugh in her heart that she was too much of a soldier, but when a Zhu Yanran hurt herself, she felt that all the people in this palace were not simple, how could there be so many bad people in this world?
"What's your fault? You're just kind enough to give it to her. ”
Shu Yige liked Zeng Xiangyun's temperament very much, and immediately took her hand and asked her not to go to her heart, and talked about the family affair between Yanhuai and Luo Qing that was decided today, but Luo Qing inadvertently diverted the conversation as soon as she started talking.
The matter has not really been decided, and it is indeed inappropriate to say it at this time, she glanced at Luo Qing apologetically, and did not say anything more.
At night, the news that Zhu Yanran, Gu Mingrou and Gu Mingrou's accomplice were killed with a cane spread to Chuxiu Palace.
said that it alarmed the queen mother at that time, but when the queen mother rushed away, the person was already half dead, she asked people to stop and went to find the emperor, the emperor didn't seem to agree, and the person was still beaten to death.
It was a lot of trouble for Prince Duan and Princess Duan to enter the palace, the emperor didn't see her, even Prince Duan didn't see her, it was the queen who saw them, the queen looked tolerant and gentle, and didn't think of a sonorous sentence, so that Prince Duan couldn't say a word, so she had to be taken back to the palace by Prince Duan.
The people from the Rongguo Mansion also wanted to enter the palace to make trouble, but Prince Duan and his wife didn't get a result, and the Queen Mother also came forward, what could they do?
Not only that, the emperor is uniting Prince Yi to clean up the court, and Tete is a member of the queen mother's family, and their situation is even more difficult, and they were even reprimanded in public by the emperor in the court, how can they talk about complaining for their daughter?
Rong Guogong was reprimanded by the emperor in public, and Lord Zhu of the Criminal Department was directly demoted and sent to the locality.
But the matter is far from over, Yan Huai brought back the news that the emperor ordered the relief of the silver taels and grain of the people of Rongzhou by the county order of Lanxian County, and the emperor immediately said that he would investigate thoroughly.
What can be found out by this thorough investigation? How can a county order come from so bold and greedy for such a large amount of disaster relief silver? Someone must have been behind it.
The Emperor Bisheng did not directly hand over the matter to the Criminal Department or the Supervision Bureau, but directly appointed Yan Huai to investigate the matter.
Who is Yan Huai? Untouchables.
For a while, people inside and outside the court were panicked.
But the shocking thing of the day was not over, and the emperor suddenly decreed, saying that it was a marriage to Prince Yu Yi Yanhuai and Luo Ruqing, the concubine of Luo's mansion, and the two were married on August 16.
August 16 is two months later, and it is neither far nor far to be said to be near.
No one thought that Prince Yi would suddenly get married, the woman he wanted to marry was still a concubine, and his family background was a little out of the table, but looking at his expression, he didn't look like the emperor was the master himself.
At the beginning, how many people tried their best to send people to Yanhuai's bed, and some people didn't want to show their faces and let their daughters stop Yanhuai's horses on the street, but no one succeeded.
Just when the news that Yan Huai had a habit of Longyang spread in the capital, and even everyone knew that this was a matter of heart, Yan Huai was going to get married?
Luo Wen, who has never been inconspicuous in the court, suddenly gained the attention of the Manchu civil and military forces.
Not to mention others, even Luo Wen himself is unbelievable, he never thought that he would be able to climb such a high branch one day.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the civil and military officials could not help but congratulate Yan Huai and Luo Wen politely.
Yan Huai is a prince, and for those who come to congratulate him, he should say two sentences if he wants to reason, and give up if he doesn't want to ignore it.
But Luo Wen is not, he has not recovered from the fact that he has become Prince Yi and his father-in-law, so he was dizzy and accepted a lot of congratulations, but his official rank is not very high, and he has to accept the congratulations of others politely, but it tiring him.
Yan Huai went down to the court to investigate the official's embezzlement of ink and disaster relief silver, but the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite him, saying that she wanted to see him and discuss something.
He can not give anyone's face, but he can't not give the face of the queen mother, so he has to go to the harem to see her.
Seeing the Empress Dowager, Yanhuai only had time to bow down and make half a salute, and was pulled by her to sit down.
"You tell me honestly, did you marry the five girls of the Luo family, did you mean it yourself or did the emperor force you?"
Yan Huai knew that the Empress Dowager was thinking about her eyes that had been blinded by the emperor's cup of poisonous wine, so she risked the world's disapproval to ask herself, so as not to be dissatisfied.
No matter what her purpose was, he was still useful in his heart, and the smile on the corner of his mouth softened a little.
"The queen mother and rest assured, the son is voluntary, which is also what the son means. Qingqing has lived with her son for a long time, and her son also knows her character very well, she is kind-hearted, and treats her son well, and her son is happy to marry her. ”
The Empress Dowager clapped his hands and sighed.
"It's good that you have a good heart, but her background ...... It's enough to be a side concubine, why do you need the emperor to give you a marriage, and you are directly a concubine. ”
Yan Huai smiled and shook his head.
"She doesn't dislike that Erchen is a blind person, Erchen is satisfied, Erchen is so virtuous, can have a good family's daughter willing to marry Erchen, Erchen is burning high incense."
As soon as these words came out, the Empress Dowager cried quietly.
"Are you...... Are you still complaining about your mother? The queen who complained about her mother didn't have time to stop the emperor ......"
"Where, Queen Mother, everything is over, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty is just a child's heart. ”
Resentment? He was also resentful when he drank that cup of poisonous wine, and asked himself if it was worth it?
After thinking about it, he still felt that the feelings in the past few years were real, and the emperor had sincerely followed his ass and called him Uncle Xiao Huang for so many years, and he had also sincerely cared for himself, but it had all changed later.
Is the lust for power charming? He didn't know, he just felt that the emperor would definitely be a good emperor in the future, at least now it seems that he is indeed diligent and loves the people, but he is a little more suspicious.
"Don't be sad about the queen mother, and don't mention this matter again in the future."
The Empress Dowager hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sobbed softly, as if she was swallowing back the sadness.
"Yes, it's all over, don't mention it, the queen mother can watch you get married in her lifetime, but this is ...... Ruqing, she is just a concubine, the queen mother has inquired, and the family style of the Luo family seems to be ...... The queen mother wanted her to come to her mother to learn the rules. ”
As she spoke, she seemed to be afraid that Yan Huai would feel that her words were too strong, and added: "What do you say? ”
Yan Huai never wanted Luo Qing to learn so many rules for him, and was about to say no, but he heard the Queen Mother say again: "She still doesn't understand many rules in the palace, follow the queen mother, the queen mother will definitely teach her well, so as not to be laughed at when she goes out in the future." It's always better to be measured, you are reluctant to teach, then the mother, is it possible that you still can't trust the mother? ”
This is the palace, not any other place, Yan Huai doesn't want Luo Qing to stay here, but the Empress Dowager has already said everything about this, if he refuses directly, he will refute the Empress Dowager's face.
What's more, after Luo Qing married him, he did have to deal with many royal relatives and eunuchs, he could indulge her, but he didn't want her to be poked in the back behind him.
In the end, he only said: "Queen Mother, what you said is true, but the minister still needs to think about this matter, and this is not just the matter of the son-in-law." ”
The Empress Dowager was not easy to force people to be in a hurry, so she responded with a smile.
After Yan Huai came out of the Empress Dowager's Changle Palace, he turned around and went to a small garden near Chuxiu Palace, and then took a trustworthy person to Chuxiu Palace to bring Luo Qing out.
As soon as Luo Qing heard that it was Yan Huaixun, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were smiling, and she had just received the holy decree, and the emperor had already given her and her brother a marriage.
As soon as she saw the familiar inky blue figure in the small garden, her steps became more and more brisk, but looking at the servant who brought her to this small garden, she restrained her urge to rush over, and stepped forward to greet Yan Huai with her in a reserved manner.
Yan Huai smiled: "What haven't I seen of you?" Don't pretend. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the chamberlain understood, bowed with the two of them, and went to guard the outside of the small garden.
Luo Qing looked around, and when he saw that there was indeed no one in the garden, he grinned at Yan Huai, and then jumped in front of him and hugged one of his arms tightly.
"Brother, I have received a holy decree."
Yan Huai was also happy, reached out and held one of Luo Qing's hands, rubbing it gently.
"In the future, Qingqing will be my brother's wife."
Luo Qing nodded emphatically: "Well, in the future, I will depend on my brother for good and evil, and my brother doesn't want to leave Qingqing behind." ”
Yan Huai hadn't been so happy for a long time, and when he was in love, he lowered his head and kissed Luo Qing's forehead, and said dotingly: "Okay, I can't leave it alone, how can my brother be willing to leave Qingqing aside?" Qingqing is my brother's little fairy. ”
Luo Qing's face was flushed with shame, and she fell into Yan Huai's arms.
The two got tired of it for a while, and Yan Huai talked to Luo Qing about the Empress Dowager's plan, and at the end, he said: "It's up to you to do this matter, if you don't want to stay in this palace, I will refuse the queen mother, the queen mother is empathetic and won't be angry with me." ”
After all, he didn't want her to embarrass himself too much.
Luo Qing shook his head vigorously: "The Empress Dowager has said this, it's not good not to go, not to mention ...... It's the princess, I can't lose your face......"
Yan Huai was always unbearable, and persuaded: "It doesn't have to be like this, there are old grandmothers in my house who have been in the palace for many years, and they all know the rules." ”
"Don't." Luo Qing refused simply, "I know what my brother means, but the Empress Dowager is different, I want to be closer to her. Get close, get her approval. My brother also values the Empress Dowager, doesn't he? ”
Yan Huai muttered in a low voice, as if sighing and melancholy: "Valued? Yes, it's a pity that ......" always feels a little alienated when I grow up.
Yan Huai didn't say this, and Luo Qing didn't ask, but the matter of entering the palace and learning the rules from the Empress Dowager was decided.
