Chapter Seventy-Six: Betrothed

Xu Shizi also looked at Shen Yafei. He was very happy about this proposal, but he didn't know what Shen Yafei thought. Although, this is not the way he wants, although he has a good impression of Shen Yafei, but the relationship between the two has not yet reached the time of staying together for life, but now this is the only way to protect Shen Yafei. However, if the two can be together for a long time, the relationship will be easier to deepen!

Shen Yafei covered her face with a headache, this queen mother is really not worry-free, at such a time, she even hit her with the idea.

"Now we all know what the Queen Mother and the Queen have been doing in the palace recently. You must have heard the news from the Queen's Palace during these days. Now the people in the queen's palace have changed batch after batch, and it was she who lost control and injured or killed people when she was angry. It wouldn't be much better if you went in. The queen was not really good to you from the beginning, and she just wanted to take advantage of you. Therefore, it will be very dangerous for you to go in and serve the queen, if they find out that you have a relationship with the holy doctor one day, it will be even more troublesome, and it will not be difficult for them to press the queen's affairs on you. Seeing that Shen Yafei was still hesitating, Xu Shizi analyzed the matter more thoroughly.

"The old witch of the Queen Mother is so hateful, why does she want our young lady to serve the Queen, where did they come from to do this?" Zhi Yu said angrily.

Seeing that the people around him were worried, Shen Yafei had no choice but to reluctantly nod in agreement.

Xu Shizi immediately laughed happily.

"But," but the expression of Xu Shizi's excitement froze again, Shen Yafei said, "But we are only cooperating, not really getting married, and when the matter is completed, I will leave the capital." ”

Xu Shizi was not satisfied with Shen Yafei's answer, but thought that as long as the two became relatives, anything could happen. The building near the water has the first month, and now it is still a long time before it is completed. Who knows when it will work out? Xu Shizi figured it out and readily agreed.

Early the next morning, the Queen Mother was about to send someone to spread Shen Yafei into the palace, and a palace maid came to report: Princess Li's arrival!

The Queen Mother didn't understand what Princess Pi was doing in the palace so early? At this time, it's still the time of the early dynasty, right?

"The concubines see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old!" Princess Pi saluted the Queen Mother with a happy face.

"Quick, quick." Seeing that Princess Pi was so happy, the Queen Mother also smiled and said, "Sit down." ”

Princess Pi sat down opposite the Queen Mother, the joy on her face still did not fade, and she wanted to speak excitedly, but she didn't seem to want to speak first.

The Queen Mother looked at her expression and knew that Princess Pi wanted her to ask first, this Princess Pi was really spoiled by Prince Pi and became more and more like a child. The Queen Mother was also very curious when she saw that Princess Pi was so happy, so she asked cooperatively: "Princess Pi, what is the happy event today that allows you to enter the palace early in the morning to enter the mourning house?" ”

Hearing the Queen Mother ask as she wished, Princess Pi smiled even more happily, seeing that the Queen Mother was a little impatient on her face, Princess Pi stopped laughing, but the smile on the corner of her mouth did not decrease: "Queen Mother, don't you know, Ah Xu has grown, and he is finally willing to get married!" ”

Princess Lili laughed again after speaking. The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment: "Which girl does Ah Xu fall into?" ”

Princess Pi covered her mouth and laughed twice, and deliberately betrayed Guan Zi and said: "There is no girl from any family, and this person is also known by the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother was hung up on her appetite, and pretended to glare at her angrily: "You should be beaten, you still use the old man of the mourning family to make fun of her." Don't say it yet. ”

"It's the Lord of Minyi!" Princess Pi said mysteriously.

The Queen Mother's face immediately darkened. She just wanted Shen Yafei to enter the palace to accompany the queen, and she was about to get married?

Princess Pi was happy, as if she didn't pay attention to the Queen Mother's expression, and continued: "Even when she came back from Chengling Temple, Ah Xu ran to the county lord's mansion all day long, and she ran out of feelings. The concubine also changed her opinion of the county lord from that day, and she also began to like this little girl. He prepared a dowry a few days ago, and also invited a matchmaker, and the day before yesterday he wanted to go to the door to propose marriage, but then the concubine stopped him, so he didn't do this stupid thing! Otherwise, we will have to let the people of the capital laugh at our Liwang Mansion again! ”

Princess Pi began to complain as she spoke. Compared with Princess Pi's good mood, the Queen Mother has no thoughts, she knew that she would have asked Shen Yafei to enter the palace one step earlier, now that Princess Pi said so, it is impossible for her to summon Shen Yafei into the palace to accompany the queen.

"Oh, what happened?" The Queen Mother couldn't let Princess Pi see her thoughts, so she asked casually according to Princess Pi's words.

With the Queen Mother answering, Princess Pi began to count down her son again: "You say, this child, marry a relative, marry a relative, and marry a relative!" But this stinky boy insisted that the concubine and the prince go to the county lord's mansion two days ago to give a dowry. The concubine and the prince were originally unwilling. But he said that if we were not willing, he would go to the courtyard of Yongchun and find another girl to bring into the palace. Queen Mother, you say, isn't this kid a bastard? ”

The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth twitched with difficulty, and just as she was about to speak, Princess Lili said again: "This bastard boy is spoiled by his concubines. The last time about the Yanyu girl, the concubine was unhappy, if he still wanted to admit a girl into the mansion, he didn't know how the palace would be tossed by him? We are thinking of going to a good day, and then going to the county lord's mansion to give a dowry. But this kid went to Yongchun Courtyard yesterday afternoon. Queen Mother, do you say this is not angry? ”

This is indeed something that Xu Shizi can do, this kid has been so bohemian since he was a child. The Queen Mother is quite disdainful of Xu Shizi's behavior in her heart, and if she can't meet her wishes, she will play Laipi, she is already an adult man, and she still does this! However, if they just plan to get married, there should be no date set for such a short period of time, and if there is no date yet, Shen Yafei can still be summoned into the palace. The Queen Mother is trying to talk.

Princess Pi didn't give the Queen Mother room to interject at all, and continued to complain angrily: "This kid forced the concubine and the prince to hurriedly go to the county lord's mansion yesterday afternoon with the dowry. There is only one son left of the concubine. So I had to let him come nonsense, and I got together with the official media that day. ”

A good day should not be very fast, and the prince of the dignified Heavenly Dynasty can't be in a hurry. Then before they get married, Shen Yafei can still enter the palace to accompany the queen. When Shen Yafei enters the palace, it is up to them to decide whether to let people go or not. If so, if the queen likes it, she won't let it go, and if the queen doesn't like it, she will accompany the queen in the palace. Shen Yafei has been in Beijing for so long, that is, the queen is taking care of her, and now that the queen has something, she will always make a return. The Queen Mother thought to herself.

When the Queen Mother was about to ask what day it was, Princess Pi seemed to know the Queen Mother's thoughts very well, and took the initiative to explain her doubts to the Queen Mother: "The concubine and the prince set the date a month later. Speaking of this, the queen was overjoyed, a month was still a long time, enough for her to summon people into the palace.

But Princess Hai said, "But, this stinky boy is unwilling. He had to advance the time, and what else did he say that he and Lord Minyi had already made a marriage, and he should have been married a long time ago, so it doesn't take too long to prepare for getting married now, the sooner the better! ”

"When is that?" Princess Pi said that she hadn't told her about the time of marriage until now, and the Queen Mother was a little impatient when she heard it, so she directly interrupted Princess Pi and asked.

Princess Lili smiled embarrassedly, "It's set in three days." ”

"Nonsense!" The Queen Mother took the case, didn't this completely disrupt her plan? Now it is impossible to summon Shen Yafei into the palace to accompany the queen, and the queen mother is furious. She finally found an unmarried woman in the capital who could enter the palace to accompany the queen, this woman had to be someone who had a bad family background and would not object to the royal family. And Shen Yafei just met these conditions, but she didn't expect that her plan had not been implemented for a long time.

She also thought that a woman from outside the palace would come into the palace to serve the queen, so that the queen would not easily beat this person to death, so that she could also control the queen's emotions. And this person doesn't dare to speak out even if he is beaten by the queen, so that all the queen's emotions can be vented on this girl, the palace maid in the harem will feel better, and the queen's reputation will be better. Such a suitable candidate, but now he has been intercepted halfway by Xu Shizi! The Queen Mother is dissatisfied with this young prince in her heart, she doesn't do anything serious on weekdays, and she comes out to make trouble at this time! The Queen Mother's face became even more gloomy.

"Yes! Isn't he just messing around? "Princess Lili is also angry," the concubine and the prince also scolded him like this. But he just didn't listen to persuasion! The concubines told the prince that the marriage would be postponed so that there would be enough time to prepare things. As a result, he said that he had already prepared the things he needed to get married, and if the concubine did not agree to the prince, then he would move directly to the county lord's mansion to live, so that we would treat him as if he was married into the county lord's mansion. But the concubine and the prince only had such a child left, so the concubine and the prince had to compromise, and then brought the official media to set a date. ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother wanted to scold, even if she loved this son, she couldn't set the marriage in such a hurry! The Queen Mother was about to scold her. Princess Pi sobbed in a low voice: "The concubine also knows that this matter is too hasty. They have not yet discussed with the Queen Mother and the Emperor, nor have they notified the State Supervisor for the record. However, there is only one son left for the concubine, and if he runs to live in the county lord's mansion from this year onwards, the concubine will not even have this only son. ”

The Queen Mother was a little impatient when she heard her crying, and she didn't want to accept it, so she took out the identity of the Queen Mother and taught two lessons: "You, you just spoil the child too much, Axu, the child is spoiled by you." Now that this matter has been decided, forget it, you can't let him mess around in the future! ”

"Yes, the concubine understands." Princess Pi hung her head and humbly accepted the teaching.

"Ah Xu is the son of the prince of the dignified Heavenly Dynasty, and he will inherit the prince's mansion in the future. How could his marriage be in such a hurry? But the matter has been decided, and we can't go back, so let's start preparing what we should prepare as soon as possible. The marriage certificate must also be handed over to the state supervisor in a timely manner. Okay, it's only three days, you better go back early and get ready, you don't have to be here to accompany the mourning family. The Queen Mother said in a calm voice.

Princess Pi nodded and went out.

After Princess Pi went out, the Queen Mother leaned on the pedal weakly, and Mama Hui had just heard Princess Li's words, and she knew that the Queen Mother was worried about how to tell the Queen Mother! The queen mother listened to the queen mother's proposal yesterday, and people were a lot more excited than before, if she knew that Shen Yafei could not enter the palace to accompany her now, I don't know what the queen would think?

"Queen Mother, what should I do?" Mama Hui asked with concern while helping the Queen Mother rub her temples.

"The mourners don't know." The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Why did you say that this thing was so coincidental, the method that the mourning family just came up with." Before it could be implemented, it was intercepted. ”

"Isn't it, there are many things in this world that are so coincidental." Mama Hui smiled.

"Do you think they know about our plans?" Xu Shizi is messing around, but now Princess Pi and Princess Pi are also messing around with him, and Prince Li, who usually abides by the rules, will also come by Xu Shizi, which is really suspicious.

The old slave thought, no. Even if someone notified, they couldn't get the news on the same day, so the old slave felt that there was no such possibility. Xu Shizi ran to the county lord's mansion all day long, which had long been spread throughout the capital. If Xu Shizi wants to marry the county lord of Minyi, it is not surprising at all. Mama Hui said.

"Also, he has always done whatever he wanted."

"Alas," the Queen Mother shook her head, this proposal was made by her, and now, "the mourning family doesn't know what to tell the queen now." ”

"Now you can only tell the queen the truth, and the old slave thinks that the queen will understand you." Mama Hui said.

"Hopefully." The Queen Mother has no such confidence in the queen. The former queen is okay to say, the current queen, since she was infected, her temperament has become worse and worse, if she is not her own niece, the queen mother is too lazy to pay attention to this matter. But if the queen really loses power in the harem, it won't be a good thing for her. The current queen is still her niece, and the person in charge of the harem in the future will be replaced by someone else, and the person who speaks in the harem will not be her Yuan family. Fortunately, she and the queen raised a concubine in advance. Now on the surface, the affairs of the harem are managed by the concubine, but secretly it is the queen's will. So the harem is still in the hands of the Yuan family.

The queen mother told the queen about this, and the queen threw the things on the table on the spot, "No, this palace just wants Shen Yafei to come in and accompany the palace." ”

The queen thought that even Shen Yafei, a vulgar girl from the mountains, was now more comfortable than her, and now she was still preparing to marry Queen Xu, and her heart was uncomfortable.

When the queen mother looked at the queen's appearance, she knew that the queen was jealous of Shen Yafei, she knew this niece best, she couldn't see it the most, she used to be worse than her, but now she is better off than her.

"Now you don't want to believe it. Princess Pi and Prince Pi have both set the wedding date, and we can't summon people into the palace at such a time. Doing so will lead to gossip. Now the most important thing for you is to save your reputation. Seeing that the queen was reluctant, the queen mother was worried that she would do irrational things, so she had to persuade her.

"If the matter has not been reported to the state prison, the marriage date can still be changed." The queen still wants to make a final struggle.

"However, the Liwang Mansion invited the official media. As long as the date is agreed by the official media, then even if the matter is not reported to the state prison, the marriage date cannot be changed casually. Also, there's no reason for us to let them change their marriage date. Besides, the marriage between Xu Shizi and the county lord of Minyi was given by the emperor, and it was only natural that they would get married. "The Queen Mother analyzed the matter thoroughly with the queen, lest she still give up.

Hearing this, the queen knew that the matter was irreparable.

"But the palace still lets people come into the palace to accompany the palace." The queen said.

"Don't worry, the mourning family will help you choose another person to come in." The Queen Mother saw that the queen was no longer entangled, so she promised her. But this time it's a bit hard to choose.

Princess Pi explained the marriage of the prince to the queen mother. The prince also explained to the emperor.

As soon as the prince of Pi finished the early dynasty, he explained the ins and outs of the matter to the emperor clearly, and the rhetoric was similar to what Princess Pi said to the Queen Mother.

However, the emperor didn't know the plans of the queen mother and the queen, he was still very happy that the prince was willing to marry Shen Yafei, no matter how he said that this marriage was still given to the two of them, if the two of them kept hanging out and did not get married, his majesty as the emperor would also be questioned. So the emperor readily agreed, and at the same time, he also sent a lot of congratulatory gifts to the Liwang Mansion.

Princess Pi waited for the princess at the gate of the palace, and then stepped forward to ask with concern, "Lord, how is it?" ”

"Get in the carriage, let's talk as we get home." The corner of the prince's mouth smiled.

Looking at his smug appearance, Princess Hai knew that the matter was done. Princess Pi glared at him coquettishly, and wanted to sell her money.

"The emperor agreed very happily." The prince of Pi didn't fight with Princess Pi anymore, "After I finished talking with the emperor, I told the king of the state prison about the matter. Lord Wang told us to go and get the marriage certificate tomorrow. ”

Princess Pi looked at Princess Pi with satisfaction and smiled.

"What about the Queen Mother?" The Lord smiled and rested Princess Li's head on his shoulder.

"Originally, the Queen Mother was reluctant, but my face turned black after I told her that I had completed the kiss." Princess Pi found a comfortable position in the arms of the Pi Prince, and continued, "I also scolded Ah Xu Hulai." Fortunately, I was clever and cried a few times, and she had to agree even if she didn't want to. ”

"Ai Fei is smart, and I love Fei Fei hard." The Emperor said with a joke.

"It's not hard work, it's all for Axu." Princess Pi said, "However, I see the Queen Mother's face at that time, it is not as simple as just letting the county lord enter the palace to accompany the queen, I think she must still have some bad ideas." ”

"But fortunately, Ah Xi is back, and we will soon be able to expose their plot. When the time comes, I will definitely unmask her hypocrisy myself! Princess Lili also sneered, they made Ah Xi and Ah Xin suffer so much, she would not let them go!

The princess hugged the princess comfortingly, and said softly in her ear: "Don't worry, now Ah Xi is fine, and Ah Xin's situation has improved." Ah Xu and I won't let them go! At an angle that Princess Lili could not see, Lord Li's eyes flashed with a fierce gaze.

"Fortunately, there is Lord Minyi here." Princess Lili said in a dumb voice.

"yes." The Pi King also made a hoarse voice, not expecting that Shen Yafei, who he hated the most, would end up being the savior of his Pi Palace.

Princess Pi and Princess Pi came out of the palace and drove directly to the county lord's mansion. After arriving at the county lord's mansion, Princess Pi described the matter to Shen Yafei and the others.

"Fortunately, we set the time quickly, and we also invited the official media at that time." After Princess Pi finished speaking, she sighed to herself, thinking of the reluctance on the face of the Queen Mother just now, Princess Pi had palpitations.

"Min Yi has thanked the Prince and Princess of Pi here." Shen Yafei was grateful to see that Prince Pi and Princess Pi had thought so carefully about her business.

"Say what? We're family! Princess Lili took Shen Yafei's hand.

Shen Yafei didn't break free this time, but she didn't talk either, she smiled silently.

When Princess Pi saw Shen Yafei like this, she knew that she hadn't really regarded herself as a person from the Liwang Mansion. Yesterday, she also said that her marriage to Axu was just a transaction. But Princess Fei could see that Ah Xu had a good impression of Shen Yafei, and Shen Yafei was not disgusted with Ah Xu, but she was just suspicious, maybe she was dissatisfied with what Ah Xu had done before. However, Princess Hai believes that as long as the two of them get along for a while, the two of them will get along sooner or later. After a long time, Shen Yafei will find that Axu is not as unbearable as the outside world says, and she will definitely find that Axu is a very good man.

At this time, Xu Shizi was holding his cheeks and looking at Shen Yafei intently, Shen Yafei also felt his fiery gaze, and twisted his head to the side uncomfortably.
