Chapter Seventy-Three: Marriage Giving (1)
Hearing this, His Majesty stroked his beard and bowed his chin: "Well, you are still thoughtful and thoughtful, but I am careless, Yuan Jun is leading an errand in the Ministry of War, and I have not heard the book of the Ministry of War praise him." It's just that King Yu is his brother, and when King Yu's marriage is decided, Yuan will be completed. ”
First set the king of Yu, and then set the king of Lu, according to the order of the eldest and youngest, His Majesty is not wrong at all. But this made Concubine Wu Xian more and more uncomfortable, and told herself in her heart that she must not let Concubine Yang De take the lead. So, Concubine Wu Xian answered: "Well, Your Majesty is still thoughtful. ”
"I don't know who the concubine my father chose for the second emperor brother?" King Lu didn't know why he suddenly asked.
Concubine Wu Xian glanced at him fiercely, quite reproachful, how could he ask His Majesty such a thing?
His Majesty, who was in a good mood, naturally didn't care, but said it: "I think Miss Xu of the Chengguo Mansion is good. ”
Concubine Wu Xian's heart kicked to her throat, Miss Xu of the Chengguo Mansion, wasn't that the princess she chose for King Lu? Sure enough, it was really preempted by Concubine Yang De, and Concubine Wu Xian pulled out the cold in her heart.
On the contrary, it was King Lu, whose face was overjoyed, stood up and said a good word of praise to His Majesty, listening to His Majesty's heart, and rewarded King Lu with a jade Ruyi.
I can't let His Majesty see that she doesn't like it at all, Concubine Wu Xian has to pretend to be happy and coax Your Majesty. This night was too difficult, the next morning, after His Majesty left, Concubine Wu Xian sent someone to call King Lu again, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, why did His Majesty set Miss Xu of the Chengguo Mansion to King Yu, he was so happy, the woman's intuition told Concubine Wu Xian, there must be something greasy in it.
His Majesty didn't ask Concubine Yang De, but went to visit King Yu, and mentioned his marriage by the way, King Yu's heart hung in the air, and he said softly: "Father, the son feels that he has to go through a few more years before getting married, please ask my father for permission." ”
"After a few more years of training, you child, when your father is as old as you, he will marry a concubine." His Majesty sighed, and a red figure came to mind.
"But my father ······" King Yu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by His Majesty: "Okay, this matter is decided, in order to determine the eldest girl of the Chengguo Mansion, you will treat her well in the future." ”
Hearing this, King Yu was in a trance all of a sudden, and his father set the eldest girl of the Chengguo Mansion for him, isn't that Xu Zijiao, the girl he misses? Is that really the case? That's great, that's great, he can get what he wants, but at this moment, King Yu has completely forgotten the letter that Concubine Yang Defei handed him. Joy diluted his sorrows.
After that, he respectfully bowed to His Majesty: "My son thanks my father for the marriage." ”
Your Majesty: "······" It's not that he has to go through a few more years of training before getting married, how can he change his tone now, isn't it the eldest girl in his heart who is happy to become a princess, His Majesty snorted coldly in his heart, it seems that this marriage is really right, okay.
Soon, His Majesty returned to the palace and gave marriage to King Yu and Xu Zijiao, without asking Concubine Yang De's opinion. Because His Majesty thinks that King Lu and King Yu both think it is good, that is really good.
Mama walked up to Concubine Yang Defei with a tasteful look, leaned over to her ear and muttered a few words, only to see Concubine Yang Defei's hand shake and throw the soup bowl in her hand on the ground, why did His Majesty just ask her opinion, and directly give King Yu a marriage, now that the holy decree of marriage has arrived in the Chengguo Mansion, what else can she say? It was really her who underestimated King Yu, so His Majesty went to visit him, and I don't believe he doesn't know.
The angry Yang Defei slapped heavily on the table, and Mama said distressedly: "Niangniang, the matter has come to this, don't be angry." ”
Said lightly, let her not be angry, originally she was indeed optimistic about the Chengguo Mansion, but after the beating of King Yu, she understood that the Chengguo Mansion was not credible at all, and she had already promised Concubine Wu Xian to hand over Xu Zijiao to King Lu, and now His Majesty didn't know what to smoke, and he didn't discuss it with her in advance, so he gave marriage to King Yu without authorization. She complained in her heart that Xu Zijiao was not her daughter-in-law.
But what Mama said made her unable to refute, the matter has come to this, His Majesty has made a decree for marriage, even if she has the ability to go to heaven, she can't reverse the situation, presumably King Yu got his wish.
Cheng Guogong and Yao glanced at each other, and the two watched as Yang Gonggong handed the marriage decree to Xu Zijiao and said something nice.
After getting the reward, Gonggong Yang did not stay in the Chengguo Mansion for a long time, he had to go back to report to His Majesty.
Xu Zijiao, who was kneeling on the ground, came to her senses for a long time, the marriage decree in her hand was still there, she really wanted to marry King Yu and be the princess of Yu, of course it was great. She didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, it made her want to cry a little, it was tears of joy.
Seeing this, Xu Zifeng, who was beside him, helped Xu Zijiao to get up: "Sister, it's cold on the ground, this is a good thing, sister, don't cry." "Now that he is the champion, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to make it clear to his parents that they should not embarrass his sister, but now he is okay, his sister gets what she wants, and His Majesty gives him a marriage.
Cheng Guogong had a black face, threw his sleeves and robe and left, in front of Yang Gonggong, he couldn't vent it, and when Yang Gonggong left, naturally no one could restrain him.
Yao: "······" Why did he leave?
King Yu, who was diluted by the joy of marriage, thought of Concubine Yang De, his mother's concubine, and instantly sank his face, even if there was his father's decree to give marriage, but in the future, Xu Zijiao married him as a concubine, and it was inevitable that he would have to get along with his mother, he had to think about it carefully, was there any way to make his mother happy.
The more Concubine Wu Xian thought about it, the more wrong it became, and sent someone to investigate King Lu's recent situation to see if she had any contact with anyone, she had a thought in her mind, that is, King Lu deceived her, and there was no private contact with Xu Zijiao in the Chengguo Mansion at all, otherwise why did His Majesty say that when he married King Yu and Xu Zijiao yesterday, he didn't have a little sadness on his face, which made her a little scared, and King Lu had something to hide from her.
Since King Lu refused to tell her, she would find out, and when the time came, the evidence would be there, and it would be up to King Lu to defend himself.
Han Jinbin became a role model, Han Jinxiu was happy for him, and of course he wanted to find an opportunity to go out of the palace to congratulate him in person and send her congratulatory gifts. Bending his knuckles and tapping on the tabletop, Han Jinxiu raised his eyes: "An Mei, go and tell the queen, this palace will leave the palace tomorrow and return to the Zhenbei Palace." ”
"Yes, slave and maid obey."
It was indeed time to leave the palace, her cousin would soon be back home, and she had to be ready to welcome her back.
Empress Chen has been unwell for a few days, so she has avoided everyone's morning and dusk determination, Han Jinxiu can't ask for this, every time she sees the third princess in Queen Chen's palace, she says a few words arrogantly, Han Jinxiu doesn't have the same knowledge as her.
King Zhan suffered a loss in Shi Yuanyuan's matter, and came to Han Jinxiu afterwards, but was blocked by Han Jinxiu's faction, and her bedroom was not just someone who wanted to come. Moreover, King Bai Rizhan is not good at coming to Han Jinxiu in a bright and bright way, he has to avoid suspicion.
King Lu was in the study, lowering his eyes to write a letter to the lord of Yonghe, and sent it to her together with the hosta he specially bought. Thinking of the county lord of Yonghe in his heart, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. The big stone that has been hanging in his heart has landed, Concubine Wu Xian always forced him to get along with Miss Xu in the Chengguo Mansion, now it's okay, Your Majesty will marry Xu Zijiao and King Yu, then there is nothing to do with him, even if the mother concubine is unhappy, she can't say anything, it is the will of her father.
With a bang, the door of the study was kicked open, and King Lu scolded without raising his head: "Bastard, who gave you the courage to break into this king's study!" "He was just one line away from writing, and he had to send someone out of the palace to Pianpian as soon as possible. He thought that when he finished writing the letter, he would raise his head and teach the person a hard lesson.
Soon, the letter in King Lu's hand was taken away by the visitor, and before he could react, the person who came lowered his eyes and looked at it at a glance, and saw the person who came, so frightened that his face turned white, and his hands trembled uncontrollably, this is not the mother concubine, why did she come.
When he came back to his senses, King Lu hurriedly asked for peace: "The son has seen the mother concubine, but he can't meet him from afar, please forgive the mother concubine." ”
"Do you still have this concubine in your eyes? You explain to this palace, who is the Pian on this letter? Do you miss me? In this case, you also wrote the exit, why don't you hurry up and explain honestly, what the hell is going on? At this moment, Concubine Wu Xian was extremely happy, she came, otherwise, she didn't know how long she would be kept in the dark.
King Lu, who has been hanging his head, is at war in his heart, should he tell Concubine Wu Xian that he can take advantage of this opportunity to get Concubine Wu Xian to agree to his marriage with Pianpian, is this okay? He wasn't quite sure, in case Concubine Wu Xian got angry, he couldn't bear the consequences.
Concubine Wu Xian took a deep breath and said coldly, "Don't you say yes!" Let this palace call all the people around you, and this palace will not believe it, they are not clear about your behavior. You should know the personality of the mother, once the mother is found out, what will be the consequences? ”
"Don't, don't, don't, mother, the son said, the son said. Pian Pian is the maiden name of the lord of Yonghe, and the mother concubine ······" King Lu cautiously raised his head and looked at Concubine Wu Xian.
What was waiting for him was a slap from Concubine Wu Xian, the county lord of Yonghe, the only daughter of the eldest princess of Jinyang, King Lu actually had a close relationship with her in private, of course she disagreed.
"Mother, don't be angry." Enduring the pain on his face, King Lu said softly.
"Don't be angry, do you really have this concubine in your eyes? Why didn't you tell your mother in advance about such a big thing, and lied to your mother that you had private contact with Miss Xu, it seems that you are deceiving your mother, and you have to plan for you everywhere in the palace, what is the result? You repay your mother like this, and you are so intimate with the county lord of Yonghe in private! The more Concubine Wu Xian thought about it, the more angry she became, she couldn't help it.
King Lu hung his head and didn't gnaw, Concubine Wu Xian was still angry, it would be useless for him to say anything, he could only wait for Concubine Wu Xian to dissipate his anger, and it would not be too late for him to explain.
After a while, Concubine Wu Xian sat down, she was really panicked in her chest, and she was also fortunate to send someone to investigate today, and she knew about the ambiguous private relationship between King Lu and the county lord of Yonghe. Originally, she thought that His Majesty would give Xu Zijiao to King Yu as a concubine, and she would choose a suitable Princess Lu from several other elders, but she didn't believe it, and this Concubine Yang De and Queen Yu's mother and son could laugh until the end.
But King Lu caught her off guard and contacted the county lord of Yonghe in private, of course it wouldn't work. Concubine Wu Xian doesn't like the eldest princess of Jinyang, and even the county lord Yonghe, who has her only daughter, doesn't like it, it's just an arrogant and domineering boudoir girl, how can she be the princess of Lu and become the virtuous helper of King Lu in the future.
"Hurry up and write to break off the relationship with her." Concubine Wu Xian commanded King Lu with a gloomy face.
Hearing this, King Lu opened his mouth: "Mother, she is a good girl, mother, why don't you like her?" ”
Snorted coldly, Concubine Wu Xian raised her eyes and stared at King Lu: "No matter what you say, this palace just doesn't like her, if you still think that this palace is your mother, just listen to this palace and cut off relations with her." King Yu has given marriage, and the next thing is you, you can't make a moth at this time. Your princess is already optimistic about each other, anyway, it is absolutely impossible to be the lord of Yonghe, you will completely die of this heart! ”
As long as she is still in the day, it is impossible for the county lord of Yonghe to be Princess Lu.
After swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva, King Lu's scalp was numb for a while, and he came to Concubine Wu Xian and said in a low voice: "Mother Concubine, Pian Pian is the only daughter of the eldest princess of Jinyang, Your Majesty's favorite county lord, where is she bad?" Why can't you be the princess of your son? ”
He just wondered, why Concubine Wu Xian didn't like the county lord of Yonghe so much, he and the county lord of Yonghe were in love, even if it came to His Majesty, His Majesty might not object, how could it be different when he came to Concubine Wu Xian!
Concubine Wu Xian glared at King Lu with hatred, his heart was enveloped by the county lord of Yonghe, where was there still a little ambition, immersed in the love of children all day long, and it would not benefit him at all.
"You don't need to know why, anyway, this palace just doesn't like the lord of Yonghe, and it is absolutely impossible to let her be your concubine, you can rest assured." While speaking, Concubine Wu Xian had already gotten up, ready to order the palace people, looked at King Lu, and did not allow him to send letters outside.
"Mother, you can't do this!" King Lu called Concubine Wu Xian.
"Since you are still called the mother of the palace, listen to the words of the palace!" didn't turn her head back, Concubine Wu Xian said coldly.
With a bang, the door of the study was closed, and the more Concubine Wu Xian returned to the palace, the more wrong she became, she had to go to see His Majesty and settle King Lu's family affairs, so that she could feel at ease.
His Majesty looked at Concubine Wu Xian, who appeared in his imperial study, listened to her explanation, and saw that King Yu was given marriage, Baba asked him to marry King Lu, and said that a bowl of water was even, and he could not favor any son. That's right, he owes something to King Yu, after all, he beat him twenty times, and finally proved that Wang Qian was wronged, and it can't be compared with King Lu.
That's it, since Concubine Wu Xian is here, His Majesty promised her that she wouldn't let her run in vain, so she asked, "Which girl does Concubine Ai think is suitable?" ”
Hearing His Majesty's question, there is a chance that this matter will be done, Concubine Wu Xian suppressed the joy in her heart, and said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine feels that the eldest girl of Ji Ge's old mansion is gentle and dignified, knowledgeable and courteous, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”
