Chapter Ninety-Eight: Love
After the Taiji Hall ceremony was completed, Lianzhi went to the East Palace first, while the others went to the Hongzheng Hall to drink the wedding wine according to the etiquette system.
Wen Xize, Luo Xuanran and Fan Ninghuai all went to change their clothes first, but according to the usual practice, the three of them should appear at the end, so as not to be there from the beginning, and everyone will be restrained.
In the Hongzheng Palace, Su Yixiao looked at Su Xiran's pale face, and couldn't bear it: "Xiran, in fact, it's okay if you don't come today." ”
Su Xiran's injuries were already healed, but Su Yixiao and the others knew Su Xiran's intentions for Wen Zhiyin, and they didn't want her to come, but Su Xiran insisted, seeing that Su Xiran was so stubborn, the Su family could only bring Su Xiran here.
Su Xiran smiled: "Brother, I'm fine, today is the prince's big day, so I should be happy." ”
Su Yixiao was simple-minded, and when he heard his sister say this, he smiled encouragingly at Su Xiran and said: "It's good if you can put it down, there are many good men in the world, and my brother will definitely find the best one for you!" ”
Su Xiran looked at Wen Zhiyan in the crowd, biting her lip with her teeth, such Wen Zhiyan should have married herself, but she didn't expect to be cheaper than that Lin Wanyang. Today, Wen Zhiyu is married to Lin Wanyang, but who knows how long Lin Wanyang, the crown princess, can sit?
Wen Yunxi didn't want to stay here, she wanted to accompany Lianzhi, but was stopped by Wen Zhiqi: "Today, you don't run away for me, tomorrow morning Wanyang will go to see my father and mother, we will be here at that time, you don't have to rush to see her for a while." ”
Wen Yunxi still listened to this brother, but turned her head to look at Wen Zhiyan: "Brother, now that the prince's brother is married, is your marriage coming soon?" ”
Wen Zhiqian glanced at Wen Yunxi, and said angrily: "You talk a lot." ”
"I'm here to remind you, if you like a girl from a family, hurry up, otherwise your father will force you into a marriage." Although Wen Yunxi is very arrogant on weekdays, there is still a little bit of proportion, and this is said to his brother, and when it reaches the ears of others, he will think that Wen Yunxi is dissatisfied with Emperor Chu.
Wen Yunxi's words also reminded Wen Zhiqian that he really had to consider his marriage, so as not to make his marriage a bargaining chip for some people.
At this moment, I heard an exclamation, it was Xiao Yunwei who was knocked down by a woman, the wine glass in her hand also fell, and the wine spilled.
Ji Wanyi was already sitting next to Xiao Yunwei, and when she saw this, she immediately went to pull Xiao Yunwei up, and the woman who knocked down Xiao Yunwei looked very down on Xiao Yunwei: "It's really weak, I just touched you lightly, and I actually fell." ”
"How do you speak?" Ji Wanyi didn't expect this woman to be so rude when she bumped into someone, "You bumped into someone else, it doesn't matter if you don't apologize, and you are still sneering here?" ”
"Apologize?" The woman glanced at Xiao Yunwei coldly, "What is she, and you want me to apologize to her?" ”
Xiao Yunwei has never seen this woman, it is estimated that a relative of the royal family came to the capital for the prince's wedding, she didn't want to provoke others on this occasion, so she pulled Ji Wanyi to leave, but the woman was energetic and directly grabbed Xiao Yunwei: "What are you running, what's so unseemly?" ”
"What can my Xiao Qingtai's daughter be unpleasant?" Xiao Yushi walked over, his serious appearance startled the woman, but he didn't show weakness: "Who are you?" ”
Xiao Yushi didn't expect this woman to be so bold, and he was about to say something, when he heard someone speak: "Yu'er, don't be unreasonable to Xiao Yushi." ”
The person who came turned out to be Qi Hengjiang, the Duke of Qi, and I had heard that the Duke of Qi was favored**, so this woman should be Qi Hengjiang's youngest daughter Qi Zhaoyu.
Qi Hengjiang is sleek and looks like a smiling tiger, and at this moment, he also apologizes to Xiao Qingtai on behalf of Qi Zhaoyu: "It was my negligence in disciplining Yu'er on weekdays, which made Yu'er collide with Xiao Yushi's beloved daughter, and asked Lord Xiao Yushi to forgive the little girl in large quantities." ”
Seeing Qi Hengjiang apologize, Xiao Qingtai couldn't care anymore, so he only turned his head and said to Xiao Yunwei: "Yunwei, be careful when you walk in the future." ”
Xiao Yunwei answered and was about to leave, but Qi Zhaoyu's anger came up, she has always been spoiled, where can Xiao Yunwei be so presumptuous: "You're still proud, aren't you, see my father apologize to you, are you satisfied?" After speaking, he pushed Xiao Yunwei fiercely in front of everyone.
No one thought that Qi Zhaoyu would be so rampant, Xiao Qingtai and Ji Wanyi hurriedly called: "Yunwei." But Xiao Yunwei's whole person had already fallen forward, and just when Xiao Yunwei was about to fall, she saw a figure flashing, and it was Wen Zhiqian who caught her.
Xiao Yunwei threw herself into Wen Zhiqi's arms, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly stood up: "Thank you, thank you to the five princes." ”
Wen Zhiqian saw Xiao Yunwei standing up and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Xiao Yunwei shook her head: "I'm fine." ”
"It's really good to pretend to be weak." Qi Zhaoyu said disdainfully, Wen Zhiqian looked at Qi Zhaoyu and frowned slightly: "It seems that Qi Guogong can't even teach his own daughter well." ”
"What do you mean by this, the fifth prince?" Qi Hengjiang was not afraid of Wen Zhiyan, "Even if Yu'er has any mistakes, it will not be the turn of the fifth prince to teach him a lesson." ”
At this moment, two other men walked over: "Father, what's wrong?" Did someone bully my sister? ”
The people who came were Qi Hengjiang's eldest son and second son, Qi Han and Qi Min, these two people looked good, but the anger on their bodies was a little scary.
Xiao Qingtai was originally a very upright person, and when he saw that Qi Guogong's family was doing this, his face was displeased: "Qi Guogong, you are a grandfather of the country who should share the worries of Your Majesty, and you actually connived at your daughter to commit murder in the main hall, and you are even more openly contemptuous of the prince, and your virtue is lost, and the old minister must be your Majesty." ”
Qi Hengjiang had long heard of Xiao Qingtai's name, and this person was really a little difficult: "Xiao Yushi, do you think you said this to the saint, does the saint believe you or me?" ”
"Father only believes in the facts. I have heard that the Duke of Qi is lawless in the fiefdom, and when I see it today, it is really worthy of its reputation. Wen Zhiqian stood in front of Xiao Qingtai, and he could see that Qi Guogong was not a person to be messed with, and it would be a loss to let Xiao Yushi compete with such a person.
"The fifth prince is trying to help Xiao Yushi bully our Qi family?" Qi Min spoke, he looked at Wen Zhiyan, and his anger was even worse.
The Duke of Qi has his own fief, lives in the capital all the year round, is not constrained, is the king of his own fief, and the two sons and one daughter are even more spoiled lawless, and have long forgotten to be cautious in words and deeds. At this moment, when he came to the capital, there were so many people who did not obey him, and he was naturally angry in his heart.
"This king only saw that your Qi family was bullying the Xiao family, seeking justice for the Xiao family, why did you bully it?" Wen Zhiyan didn't give in, he is a prince, why should he be polite to the minister?
Other princes may not dare to offend the Duke of Qi, but he is not afraid of anything, anyway, he doesn't ask for anything in the court, and the Duke of Qi has nowhere to interfere if he wants to deal with him.
"It seems that the fifth prince must go against me today." Qi Hengjiang spoke, "Weichen was ordered to bring his children to this capital to congratulate the prince on his wedding, it seems that the nobles of the heavenly family are not very welcome!" After a while, Weichen will inform His Majesty of this matter, and he will go back tomorrow. ”
Qi Hengjiang is threatening Wen Zhiyan He is not afraid of stabbing Emperor Chu, Wen Zhiqian just wanted to speak, Ji Nanyi walked out at this time: "The Duke of Qi is so majestic, but he is relying on his ancestral fiefdom, how powerful do you really think you are?" ”
As soon as Ji Nan came forward, he represented the Pingbohou Mansion, on the other hand, Pingbohou Ji Ding sat quietly in his place and drank wine, but no one knew that his eyes had never left there.
"Who are you?" Qi Han asked, he intuitively felt that the person in front of him was not simple, although he looked at Wenwen weakly, but his aura was very different.
"Ji Nanyi, the son of Pingbohou." Ji Nanyi said, "What, does the Qi family also want to sue His Majesty together with the Pingbohou Mansion?" ”
Qi Hengjiang didn't expect to provoke the Pingbohou Mansion, even if he was far away in the fiefdom, he knew that the Pingbohou Mansion had a status in Beijing that should not be underestimated.
Qi Han and Qi Min were about to say something, but they were repelled by Qi Hengjiang's look, and Qi Zhaoyu hid behind Qi Hengjiang in fear.
"Ji Shizi is too serious, this king thinks that Qi Guogong is just joking with everyone," Wen Zhiyan walked over at this time, "Miss Ji is an only daughter, and she must inevitably be spoiled at home, although her behavior is bold, she is also straightforward." ”
Ji Nan looked at Wen Zhiyan and sneered in his heart, he didn't expect Wen Zhiyan to come to this troubled water. This Wen Zhiyan is really a vegetarian, and when he looks at the powerful, he wants to hold it in his hands.
With Wen Zhiyan's joining, this farce is getting bigger and bigger, and Wen Zhiyan also knows that he has to come forward: "Today is the king's wedding day, why are you going to fight here?" ”
Several people saluted Wen Zhiyu: "The ministers have no such intention. ”
Wen Zhiyu glanced at Qi Hengjiang, and Qi Hengjiang immediately sensed a coercion pressing on him. Wen Zhiyu spoke: "Duke Qi has been in the outer fief for a long time, it seems that some of the etiquette has been forgotten?" ”
