Chapter 29: Discontent
Bai Fengyi bowed his head again and said respectfully: "Since ancient times, the monarch is the king, the minister is the minister, as a courtier, how can you trespass the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the minister ......"
The emperor waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, okay, my ears are about to come out of the cocoon, you scholars, you love to be reasonable, set rules, always put on a serious face, pointing at others and making irresponsible remarks, to everyone is a pure and lofty appearance, comparing yourself to a muddy and unstained lotus, in fact, everyone is a fame and reputation fisherman." Taishi, of course, those scholars are not as good as you, you are a real reader, not only full of knowledge, but also know current affairs, unlike those nerds in the previous dynasty, they don't know how to lift, and they are willing to accompany mediocre and incompetent people to die, every time I think of this, I can't help but feel sorry for them, if they can be like you to know current affairs and know how to lift, then I have no talents! ”
"Wechen is ashamed." Hearing this, Bai Fengyi broke out in a cold sweat on his back, the old emperor had something to say.
Did he know something? Still is...... Is it just suspicion?
"Let's go! It's useless to say this, I don't know why you're here? The emperor propped his hands on the edge of the table, his obviously bloated and old body leaning forward, and every word spewed out with his every breath, it seemed a little difficult, not as loud and smooth as before.
"The minister implores the emperor to give Yun'er a marriage!"
As soon as Bai Fengyi's words came out, the room was silent, and Bai Yiyun was so shocked that he seemed to be drunk, and immediately looked at his father on the side in amazement.
Yirong was also shocked by her father's words.
But the old emperor laughed loudly and said, "Just for this? ”
"Your Majesty, Yun'er is twenty-two years old, it's time to start a family, the father looks forward to him getting married as soon as possible, and he can hold his grandson, the Bai family has passed down to this generation, and it is better to start a family earlier."
"Oh, it turns out that Taishi has this concern, and yes, your Bai family is indeed not prosperous, Bai Yiyun, your father's words are very reasonable, and you should also think about your family." The old emperor nodded, indicating that he agreed.
Bai Yiyun's face was flushed, and he wanted to say something, but he found that he had no reason to object, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
What to do?
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her little sister Yirong snickering...... Bai Yiyun didn't even have time to roll her eyes.
By the way, he can take this opportunity to propose marriage to the emperor-
"Back to the emperor, Weichen, Weichen already has someone he likes, I implore the emperor to fulfill it."
"Oh? Who is it? ”
"Celestial Princess, Red Tassel."
"Huh?" The old emperor's body was shocked, and his thick eyebrows wrinkled together, "Red tassels? ”
"Yes, it's Red Tassel. She is the most unique woman in the world, no one can replace her, if I can't marry her, I will never marry anyone again in my life! ”
"It's a pity, Bai Yiyun, you are a step late, Hongying has decided to go to Linguo and kiss. The day before yesterday, Lin Guo came to visit and asked to marry my princess Dayan, and the prince of Lin Guo took a fancy to Hongying at a glance and vowed to marry Hongying back to Linguo, and Hongying also agreed. ”
Bai Yiyun closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and pleaded: "Your Majesty, Hongying fell in love with Weichen at first sight five years ago, but Weichen refused many times because of her appearance, and now Weichen regrets it and just wants to redeem it." ”
The emperor stared at him and muttered, "Well, you were supposed to be together five years ago, but you rejected her because of her appearance...... Hongying has mentioned your affairs to me many times, I thought you had no intention of her, but I didn't expect you to regret it now, if I agreed, in case Hongying is old and decrepit in the future, I dare not guarantee whether you will still have love, and besides, the prince of Linguo fell in love with Hongying at first sight, and Hongying also agreed...... Therefore, I cannot grant your request. ”
Bai Yiyun closed his eyes in despair, he had expected this, Hongying...... It's really getting farther and farther away from him, and I'm afraid the two will have nothing to do with each other from now on.
"Wechen understands."
At this time, Bai Fengyi continued: "Your Majesty, the old minister has the courage to implore the emperor to marry Ye Manjing, the third daughter of Prince Shun, to Yun'er. ”
With these words, I couldn't help but let the gloomy atmosphere rise again, including Bai Yiyun, even Yirong was familiar with the Shun Palace-
Prince Shun is the emperor's younger brother, born graceful, but also handsome and affectionate, so he left romantic debts everywhere, and countless concubines were accepted in the backyard, and the main room Hu is a very capable person, quite able to suppress those concubines in the backyard, and I don't know what the reason is, this Shun prince has no sons, only a dozen daughters. The third daughter of Prince Shun mentioned by her father, but Yirong is not familiar with it.
Of course, the emperor couldn't distinguish these daughters of Prince Shun, so he asked, "What did the Taishi say about Ye Manjing...... I seem to have heard of it, but I can't remember it for a while, but since the Taishi has taken a fancy to her, there must be something special about her, huh...... Then I'll be sure. ”
"Thank you to the emperor."
Bai Yiyun was speechless when he watched these two elders rearrange their family affairs in front of him in such a daze.
Or Yirong tugged at his eldest brother's sleeve to remind him of what to say...... You can't just ruin the happiness of the rest of your life without knowing it.
"The Emperor's ......"
Bai Yiyun was about to say something, but was interrupted by Bai Fengyi-
"Resignation."
After saying that, he withdrew, and before leaving, he gave his two children a look full of meaning.
This marriage was actually given by his father like this?
Bai Yiyun was stunned in place, but he couldn't, so he had to resign, quickly follow his father's footsteps, and as soon as he left the palace, Bai Yiyun suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and asked, "Father, slow down." Father, child, why did you decide this family affair for the child in such a hurry, you should understand, I have never seen any cranberry with that leaf, how can I decide on a family affair so hastily? ”
Bai Fengyi shook his head and said meaningfully: "Yun'er, my father knows that you are still thinking about the eldest princess, but the eldest princess has decided to go to harmony, you have no chance, give up, the daughter of Prince Shun chosen for you by your father is the best candidate." ”
"Father! The child has never seen the daughter of the prince of Nashun, even if the child does not marry the eldest princess, he will never marry a woman he doesn't know! ”
"Yun'er! I can't do this for you, the Bai family has been passed down to this day, and the people are thin, and you have already grown up, it's time to marry a wife! If you don't marry a wife, how will the Bai family's incense inherit in the future? After a hundred years of being a father, how should I explain to my ancestors? If you don't agree to this family business, you have to agree, for the sake of your father, for your sake, and for the sake of the Bai family's incense! Bai Fengyi was so angry that his beard trembled, the muscles on his face were agitated, and his deep-set eyes were staring straight at his son.
"Father, you're forcing me!" The corners of Bai Yiyun's mouth drooped, and he yelled angrily at his father.
"Humph!" Bai Fengyi flicked his robe, turned his back, and left.
