Chapter 74—The Marriage Giving (2)

Previous Chapter

Miss Ji on the old mansion of Ji Ge, His Majesty thought silently in his heart, Old Ji Ge, Concubine Wu Xian would not choose Princess Lu for King Lu casually for no reason.

Concubine Yang De's father was Yang Shoufu of the current dynasty, and His Majesty gave King Yu a marriage to the eldest daughter of the Chengguo Mansion.

Concubine Wu Xian then came to him to marry King Lu, and the princess she liked was the eldest granddaughter of Ji Ge Lao.

There are five cabinet elders: Yang Shoufu, Lin Cifu, Ji Gelao, Wu Gelao and Wang Gelao.

Concubine Wu Xian raised her eyes and looked at His Majesty with all kinds of charms, waiting for his speech.

Suddenly, His Majesty hooked his lips and smiled: "Concubine Ai really has a good eye, so I will marry the two of them." ”

With joy in her heart, Concubine Wu Xian knelt down and thanked His Majesty for his kindness. A trace of coldness crossed his eyes, and now he saw how King Lu dared to make trouble.

On the sixth day of the fifth month, His Majesty gave marriage to the two princes in a row, and yesterday's palace test came out of the top three, for a while, the capital was very lively, and the people inevitably talked about it after dinner.

Concubine Wu Xian did not go to see King Lu in person, it was enough for Gonggong Yang to send the holy decree, if he couldn't even tell the weight of this point, it was not worth Concubine Wu Xian's plan for him like this.

King Lu glared at Gonggong Yang in surprise, his father gave him and the eldest granddaughter of Ji Ge's old mansion to marry, how could this be possible? He didn't know about this season's big girl at all, why did he give marriage? Mo is not the mother concubine, it was she who made a move and went to find her father, and now Yang Gongcheng is just waiting for King Lu to receive the marriage decree, and he has no choice but to squeeze out a smile and take the marriage decree.

After that, he went to find Concubine Wu Xian, but was told that Concubine Wu Xian was not feeling well today, and he didn't see anyone, so he asked King Lu to go back.

The angry King Lu gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Mother, it's too hateful." ”

The decree of marriage must have spread throughout the capital, and the lord of Yonghe must have known about it, how can this be good? King Lu couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly out of the palace at this moment to explain to the county lord of Yonghe.

The eldest princess of Jinyang was lying on her feet, and Mama was beating her back, when the county lord Yonghe broke in with a pout, with tears on her face.

Seeing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang hurriedly sat up straight and glanced at her grandmother: "You all retreat!" ”

"Yes." The crowd retreated.

Lord Yonghe has always been very arrogant, why is he crying today. The eldest princess of Jinyang had doubts in her heart, and stretched out her hand to her: "Come to my mother and tell my mother, what's wrong?" Whoever bullied Pian, mother will be angry for you. ”

It took a long time for the county lord of Yonghe, who cried in the arms of the eldest princess of Jinyang, to come back to his senses, and his eyes were red from crying, like rabbit eyes, which made the eldest princess of Jinyang couldn't help laughing: "Pianpian, what a big thing is worth crying for you like this, tell your mother, what's wrong?" ”

"Mother, I like King Lu." The county lord of Yonghe lowered his eyes.

The smile on the face of the eldest princess of Jinyang gradually solidified, let go of the jade hand of the county lord of Yonghe, and said in a deep voice: "Raise your head, look at your mother, and say it again." "Didn't she hear it wrong?

Taking a deep breath, Lord Yonghe raised his head and said again: "Mother, I like King Lu, King Lu also likes me, and we are happy with each other." ”

"Stop, don't talk nonsense!" The eldest princess of Jinyang has a numb scalp.

The county lord of Yonghe stood up angrily and said unhappily: "Mother, why don't you believe me, I am really happy with King Lu, and he promised to marry me as a princess." ”

With a heavy snort from the end of her nose, the eldest princess of Jinyang said, "Then why did you break your promise now?" ”

Lord Yonghe: "······" Is this her mother? Why are you so angry with her, if you know, she wouldn't have appeared here begging the eldest princess of Jinyang.

Tell yourself in the bottom of her heart that today she is here to beg her mother, not to be angry with her mother, and don't take anything her mother says to heart, let alone take it seriously.

Without waiting for Yonghe to speak, the eldest princess of Jinyang said slowly: "If he really likes you and wants to marry you as a concubine, he should not accept His Majesty's will to give marriage, but as far as I know, there is no news from the palace that King Lu wants to refuse to marry." Pianpian, you really think that King Lu likes you, so why don't you make any moves now? You know, he doesn't really like you, he just likes the power behind you. ”

Others don't know Concubine Wu Xian, the eldest princess knows her very well what she is, and she will never let Pian Pian be Princess Lu. It's just that the eldest princess is a little annoyed, how could she not know, it seems that the people in the house are going to be replaced, otherwise they don't know who the owner of the house is!

The county lord of Yonghe looked at the eldest princess of Jinyang in disbelief, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, you are talking nonsense, the third cousin has never thought of it like this. ”

"Knowing people and faces but not knowing hearts, do you really see through King Lu's heart? Mother is a person who has come from the past, and knows more than you. The eldest princess of Jinyang said lightly.

"I don't, mother, you talk nonsense, the third cousin is not such a person." The county lord of Yonghe shouted angrily, and suddenly felt that the mother in front of him was very strange, was it really her mother? Why did he break her heart like this, and sprinkle salt on her wounds?

"Mother, you go to the palace and beg Your Majesty to let him take back his life, okay?" The county lord of Yonghe stepped forward and wrapped his arms around the eldest princess of Jinyang and pleaded bitterly. Her mother is the sister of Her Majesty, and she will definitely listen to her, and now all her hopes are pinned on her mother.

Who knew that the eldest princess of Jinyang shook off the arm of the county lord of Yonghe, and said coldly: "This is absolutely impossible, Your Majesty has already given marriage, how can you take back your life in child's play." Where are you trying to put your majesty's face on you? Pianpian, you really disappointed your mother, how did your mother teach you, the girl's family should be reserved, but what about you? Someone came, and the lord of the county was locked up in the house, and she was not allowed to come out, and no one was allowed to see her. ”

I want to see how hard her bones are, just for the sake of a King Lu, fell out with her, is it worth it?

Listening to the refusal of the eldest princess of Jinyang without hesitation, the county lord of Yonghe sat on the ground with a dead face, crying silently, does she really want to cut off relations with King Lu? As soon as she thought of this, her heart was like a knife, she didn't want to, she didn't want to.

Because King Yu and King Lu were given marriage by His Majesty, and the marriage date had been agreed upon by Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites, His Majesty let the two princes move out of the palace and live in the palace outside the palace, which was a happy thing for the two princes. For Concubine Yang De and Concubine Wu Xian, it is a headache.

Concubine Yang felt that King Yu's body still had to heal from his injuries, and she didn't like Xu Zijiao's daughter-in-law.

Concubine Wu Xian felt that King Lu might not really be able to break off with the county lord of Yonghe, and now that he moved out of the palace, he was out of her control, and if he went to the county lord of Yonghe in private, it would be bad. At this critical moment, you can't make a fuss about this matter, and finally let Your Majesty give you a marriage and win over Ji Ge Lao, you can't miss the opportunity.

On the occasion of the two princes leaving the palace, Concubine Yang De and Concubine Wu Xian repeatedly told them to be careful, and they must not cause trouble at this juncture and give people a handle.

On the contrary, it was Concubine Wang Li, she began to worry about King Zhan's marriage, King Yu and King Lu were fine, King Zhan was disgusted by His Majesty because of Shi Yuanyuan's affairs, and she never saw His Majesty for several days. Empress Chen spared them from morning and dusk, and she was very worried in the palace all day.

King Yu and King Lu left the palace, and His Majesty then ordered King Zhan to move out of the palace as well, so that only the prince of the East Palace was left in the palace. The eyes of the ministers are bright, His Majesty seems to be more and more fond of the prince, they can get some ideas in private, and they must not offend the prince.

As soon as Han Jinxiu's carriage left the palace, he rushed to the Zhenbei Palace, and soon, the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the palace, and An Mei helped Han Jinxiu get out of the carriage. Standing at the gate of the Zhenbei Palace, Han Jinxiu squinted, looked at her cousin Han Jinbin and the housekeeper Fu Bo and others who greeted her at the door, and walked towards them with a smile.

Fu Bo prepared pastries and tea for Han Jinxiu, and knowing that she and Han Jinbin were going to talk, he withdrew from the courtyard with his subordinates.

Han Jinbin took the lead in getting up and giving Han Jinxiu a bow: "Thank you to the princess for keeping me." Otherwise, he would have missed the second examination of the year and wasted three years, and such a good thing fell on him, and he had to thank her first.

Hearing this, Han Jinxiu shook his head: "Brother, sit down quickly, why should you be so polite between you and me." Besides, my brother can be a top performer in high school, and that is because of my brother's real talent, what does it have to do with me. Sit down, brother, don't stand. As he spoke, he reached out and pulled Han Jinbin's sleeve.

This made Han Jinbin a little in a trance, the crown princess was so intimate with his cousin, it was a bit unreal.

The brother and sister spoke for a long time in the court, and Han Jinxiu bowed: "Brother, you have all entered the Hanlin Academy, and my brother has to work hard." "The top three in this year's palace examination were all arranged by His Majesty to enter the Hanlin Academy, and he was not released as an official.

"Crown Princess, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to your hopes." Han Jinbin replied seriously.

Then Han Jinxiu asked about Shen Ke, and Han Jinbin patted his head: "Princess, look at my memory, I have forgotten it." It was you who asked me to send a letter to Shen Ke before, so he stayed, and now the two of us have become good friends, he always tells me that I have time to see you, thank you in person, I don't know when you will be free, can I arrange for him to meet you? ”

Shen Ke pestered Han Jinbin repeatedly, this matter must be taken to heart and cannot be forgotten. This will take advantage of Han Jinxiu's mention, and he hurriedly told her.

Shen Ke wanted to see her, but he couldn't ask for it. Han Jinxiu pursed her lips and said, "It just so happens that I am out of the palace today, just today, what does my brother think." ”

Han Jinbin stroked his palm: "Okay, just today, the crown princess will go to the inn now." When Shen Ke found out, he must have been very happy, and he hurriedly turned around and left.

Looking at the back of him leaving, a touch of coldness crossed Han Jinxiu's eyes, King Zhan was now driven out of the palace by His Majesty, and Concubine Wang Li was afraid that she would be angry, but unfortunately she had no way to stop her, King Yu and King Lu were out of the palace. It depends on how Wang Lifei calculates next.

Suddenly, Ah Ling appeared in front of Han Jinxiu and said in a low voice: "Crown Princess, there is a maid who claims to be the old mansion of Ji Ge at the back door who wants to see you?" ”

The maid of Ji Ge's old mansion wanted to see her, Han Jinxiu sat up straight, pinched the silk handkerchief in her hand, and frowned: "Go and invite her over, and see her in this palace." ”

"Yes, the minions obey."

When she saw the little maid, Han Jinxiu probably knew that she was the big girl next to Ji Caiyue, the old mansion of Ji Ge, and at the birthday banquet of the Chengguo Mansion that day, thanks to Ji Caiyue's clothes, otherwise, she would be embarrassed. She has always remembered this matter, but unfortunately recently, there have been too many things and she forgot to care about Ji Caiyue. Now that Ji Caiyue's big girl is here, it couldn't be better.

As soon as the eldest maid saw Han Jinxiu, she knelt on the ground with a plop: "The slave has seen the crown princess, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

"Excuse me, hurry up." Han Jinxiu said warmly.

The eldest girl had tears in her eyes, she finally waited for Han Jinxiu, and kept kowtowing to her: "Ask the princess to save our girl, ask the princess to save our girl." ”

As far as Ji Caiyue is concerned, what is going on? Han Jinxiu raised his hand: "Stop, don't kowtow, what's going on?" You've made it clear to Hongu. ”

Later, from the mouth of the eldest girl Mingyue, Han Jinxiu finally understood, it turned out that after the end of the birthday banquet in the Chengguo Mansion, Ji Caiyue went back and was troubled by her daughter Ji Cailing, this is still second, the most important thing is that this time His Majesty will marry Ji Cailing to His Royal Highness King Lu as a concubine, Ji Cailing went to find Ji Ge Lao, and wanted to take Ji Caiyue to Princess Lu together, let Ji Caiyue be King Lu's concubine, and the two sisters served a husband, which was unbearable for Ji Caiyue, so she let the big girl around her come to Zhenbei Wangfu to try her luck and see if she could see Han Jinxiu, Ask her for help.

The two daughters served a husband together, and it was also a loss for Ji Cailing to come out, Han Jinxiu snorted coldly in her heart, and glanced at An Mei, she immediately walked over to Mingyue knowingly, helped her to get up, and comforted her a few words by the way.

Mingyue's face softened a little, and when she saw the crown princess, she told her about it, and she was relieved to be able to explain to the girl when she went back. The crown princess looked like a kind person, and she would not ignore their girl, but now the girl was saved.

After a while, Han Jinxiu said in a deep voice: "In this way, let your girl feel at ease, and the Japanese Palace will send someone to invite her into the palace tomorrow." ”

Mingyue was overjoyed, prostrate on the ground, and said gratefully: "Thank you princess, the slave and maid obey the order." ”

Soon, Mingyue was taken to the back door by An Mei and left the Zhenbei Palace.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Ke was taken by Han Jinbin to Zhenbei Wangfu and went to Han Jinxiu's courtyard.

The prince couldn't help but be a little irritable when he heard Ah Jiu and Ah Yan say nothing, and glared at the two of them fiercely, the two of you look at me, I look at you, and then quickly lowered his eyes and was silent.

The hall fell silent in an instant, and the sound of an embroidery needle falling to the ground could be heard, and the air seemed to freeze.

Suddenly, the prince spoke up: "The crown princess went to the Zhenbei Palace?" ”

Ah Yan hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Highness, yes, I left the palace early in the morning." ”

Ah Jiu continued to lower his eyes, it was better for him not to speak.

Putting down the fold in his hand, the prince stood up and said, "Let's go, you two will accompany Gu out of the palace." ”

Ah Yan and Ah Jiu glanced at each other and accompanied His Royal Highness out of the palace, is he going to Zhenbei Wangfu to pick up the crown princess? That's what the two of them thought!
