Chapter 819: Choosing a Date to Get Married
Within two days, the queen's sister sent someone to take me into the palace, and I hadn't seen the queen's sister for a while, so naturally I went happily.
But I didn't expect the emperor to be there, so I had to salute according to the rules, I didn't learn the court etiquette at all, I could only put on a show, but unfortunately, the appearance was not good, when I squatted down, my body was unstable, and I rushed forward, but fortunately, I reacted quickly, and my arms opened hard to balance my body.
The queen's sister said, "Don't laugh, it's good that the county lord didn't fall, and he should be encouraged." She took the lead in clapping, and the laughter turned into a slap.
I was very open in front of the queen sister, but I was very restrained in front of the emperor, so at the moment I was restrained, with a stiff and embarrassed smile on my face.
But today the emperor was kind to me and told me to sit, and I was so frightened that I sat down quickly.
The emperor's words have always been straight to the point, "I heard that the county lord and Du Heng, the son of Prime Minister Du Cheng's family, made a private agreement for life, although this is not in accordance with the rules, but the queen said that there should be adult beauty, since the county lord agrees, then I will choose a day to marry." ”
I was stunned, how did a misunderstanding become a private life?
The queen's sister said, "At the Spring Festival banquet last time, the son and daughter of Prime Minister Du Cheng's family came, which was very good, the son was good-looking, and the young lady was also born beautiful." Prime Minister Du originally meant to be General Bai and wanted to marry his daughter to him, but now if Xiaoshuang ties the knot with the son of the Du family, wouldn't it be a good thing? ”
I looked at her in amazement, I didn't know that the queen sister could talk so eloquently, I think she was a little far away from me......
"Xiaoshuang, what do you mean?" Sister Queen asked me.
I lowered my head, and I should say that Xiaoshuang is all up to my sister.
But when marriage is a major event, why should others be in charge?
"Sister, I'm still young, I don't want to get married so early."
"It's not small, it's sixteen, and when my sister is as old as you, she is pregnant with the prince."
The emperor had a pair of discerning eyes and glanced at me, "If you don't want to marry Du Heng?" Who do you want to marry? ”
I felt that there was encouragement in his eyes, and I almost rushed out of that name, but the queen's sister sighed faintly, "Big brother with a well-informed and well-informed girl, a girl in Xiuwaihui, and a man who can know cold and hot, the children of Prime Minister Du Cheng's family are quite compatible, your brothers and sisters and Du family brothers and sisters are married, kiss and kiss, what a good thing." ”
I feel bitter in my heart, I can't refute a word, Bai Chang is briefly matched with a well-informed and well-informed girl, but I can't get anywhere. I think the queen sister dislikes me a little, is it that I have no merit at all?
I still say, "I don't want to get married for a while." ”
The emperor and the empress glanced at each other, and the queen's sister said, "Okay, since you don't want to marry, this matter will be put on hold for the time being, and Ming'er will ask the eldest brother to see what he means to the daughter of the Du family, one of you is my brother, and the other is my sister, and I can't help you at all." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time brought up a sigh of relief, would Bai Changjian agree to marry the daughter of the Du family?
Now that he knew what I meant, the emperor went to the south study to do some administrative work, and he took time out of his busy schedule to inquire about my marriage in person, and I was very uneasy. There is no one in the emperor's harem, he can't rely on marriage to win over the courtiers, I'm so afraid that he will hit me with his idea, fortunately, the emperor is not that kind of person.
As soon as the emperor left, the crown prince came in with the little prince and the little princess and saluted me, "I've seen the widow." ”
The little prince liked me very much, ran over and snuggled up to me, and pulled up his little robe to show me, "Son, look at my new clothes, do they look good?" ”
I made an exaggerated expression, "Wow, how can you be so beautiful, it looks so good on Sheng'er." ”
The little prince was very proud and grinned.
The prince said, "Brother Huang, you are the best at telling ghost stories, and you want to tell one." ”
The little prince looked frightened, and with a sigh, he rushed back to his mother like a frightened rabbit.
But another small figure blew over like a gust of wind and hugged my arm, "Son, I like to listen to ghost stories the most, you can tell me one." ”
I saw the little prince shrink his head behind the queen's sister and shake his head vigorously, I smiled and said, "Qingyang, ghost stories are only fun to listen to at night." ”
The little princess said, "Don't leave today, let's sleep together at night, and you tell me ghost stories." ”
I smiled and said okay, the queen's sister allowed me privileges, I went in and out of the palace at will, and I could stay if I wanted to.
I thought it would be useful to stay, so I said to the queen's sister, "Has my sister ever asked General Bai what he meant?" ”
"That's not true," said the queen's sister, "Prime Minister Du only mentioned you and Du Gongzi, so I want to ask you first." ”
"It's better to take this opportunity, my sister asked General Bai, he is the elder brother, how can there be a brother who has not yet married, and the younger sister will marry first."
The queen thought about it and felt that what I said was right, so she called someone to invite Bai Changjian into the palace, and by the way, asked the prince to take his younger brothers and sisters out, so as not to be difficult to speak.
Bai Changjian came very quickly, and when he heard that the little father-in-law who was going to deliver the decree happened to bump into him when he came out of the palace gate, he invited him in.
What's even more strange is that he came in with his front foot, and the emperor followed with his back foot, and the queen's sister was very strange and asked him, "Didn't you say that there were courtiers waiting in the south study, why did you come here again?" ”
The emperor touched his nose, looked at Bai Changjian and smiled, "I sent them away, I heard that General Bai is coming, I came over to take a look, aside from the monarch and ministers, I also want to call him an uncle." ”
Bai Changjian stood up and saluted, "The minister is terrified." ”
"Sit down, sit down, it's all a family, don't see outside."
The queen's sister asked Bai Changjian, "How did you feel when you went to Du Mansion to participate in Miss Du's tea poetry party that day?" ”
"Very good."
"I'm asking you what your impression of Miss Du is?"
Bai Changjian didn't speak, and the emperor suddenly coughed inexplicably, coughing very hard, as if it was some kind of hint.
Bai Changjian: "...... Very good. ”
"If you think Miss Du agrees, it's better to let the emperor marry earlier, the eldest brother is not young, he should have married a wife and had children, now I have nothing to worry about, when you become a parent, and then find a good husband for Xiaoshuang, you will be content."
Bai Changjian: "...... There is Lao Niangniang's concern, and the minister doesn't want to ...... now."
Emperor: "Ahem...... Ahem......"
Sister Queen, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with your throat?" ”
"It's okay, tickle."
"Do you want Imperial Doctor Wei to show you?"
"No, it'll be fine for a while." He looked at Bai Changjian and smiled meaningfully, which seemed to me to have some kind of hint.
Sure enough, Bai Changjian said slowly, "The minister thinks that Miss Nadu is very good, but the minister thinks that he should know more before getting married, if the temperament and personality are really similar, it is not too late to get married." ”
He was willing to agree, and the queen's sister was naturally happy, and said, "I am open to the people of Dongyue, and it is nothing to meet before getting married. ”
I think it was the emperor who was happier than the queen's sister, because his mouth involuntarily grinned to the root of his ears, probably for fear of losing his majesty, and he twisted his head to the side and pretended to look at the vase on the shelf.
I keenly feel that there seems to be some ulterior secret between the emperor and General Bai.
