Chapter 60: The Marriage Gift

If you want to talk about this outstanding, Lin Changjin is not as handsome as Fang Xiao, and he is not as handsome as Xie Chongning, but he is handsome and handsome, which is a kind of gentleness that is not aggressive, which is why Yi Xue likes Lin Changjin.

"If you like someone, why ask him to excel? As long as you like it, wouldn't it? Yi Xue pursed her lips and smiled, unlike the Central Plains woman, her smile was not shy, but confident and proud.

When the emperor heard this, he clapped his hands again and again and praised the boldness of the saint of southern Xinjiang. It's just a pity that Lin Changjin, the nephew of the Marquis of Changting, was not invited to today's banquet, "Oh, it's just a pity that Lin Changjin didn't hear what you just said, Holy Maiden, Lin Changjin is now working under Xie Aiqing?" Xie Aiqing thinks the two are a good match? ”

Changtinghou sat in his position and wanted to speak anxiously, but the emperor never looked at himself, their patriarch Jin was already engaged to the eldest daughter of the Luanping Marquis Mansion, this emperor must not mess with the mandarin duck score, when he heard the emperor call Xie Chongning's name, he was even more anxious, afraid that Xie Chongning would say that the two were a good match.

Xie Chongning got up and turned his head to look at Yi Xue, "Don't hide it from the emperor, Chang Jin and I visited the capital with the holy woman on the day of rest, and the two of them are in harmony." Although he didn't say that the two were compatible, it made people feel that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.

Fang Xiao was in the mood of watching the excitement, and was thinking it was interesting, after listening to Xie Chongning's words, he pinched the wine glass in astonishment, and didn't put it into his mouth for a long time, he said Why did this stuffy gourd not react when he heard that Miss Mu was engaged? It turned out that he wanted to borrow the emperor's hand to break up the two.

When the emperor heard this, "Oh? It turns out that Lin Aiqing and the saint have visited the capital together? I said, why did the saint choose him among so many good men in my capital, so since the two are so fateful, then I will give you two marriages, and the saint thinks it's good? ”

"Thanksgiving of the people's daughter, long live my emperor......"

Before Yi Xue finished speaking, the Marquis of Changting knocked over the table in a panic and stood up suddenly, "Your Majesty! This must not be done. ”

The emperor was happy, and suddenly heard Changtinghou say something to stop him, and anger appeared on his face, "Changtinghou, why don't you say it?" ”

Before Changting Hou could explain, Xie Chongning said first, "Changting Hou only has one eldest son, Chang Jin, and the Hou Ye is afraid that Chang Jin will leave the capital, and they miss it in their hearts. Moreover, Chang Jin is only twenty-nine this year, and he has not yet won a weak crown. ”

Changting Hou was stunned, Xie Chongning, who has always been cold-faced, was kind enough to relieve himself? Although he wanted to make it clear that Chang Jin already had a marriage contract, he felt that Xie Chongning's explanation was more decent, so he nodded and agreed.

The emperor's expression softened slightly, and he could be regarded as understanding the thoughts of the Marquis of Changting who did not want his only son to go to southern Xinjiang.

Yi Xue turned around and realized that the polite and elegant gentleman in front of her was Lin Changjin's father, and she really liked Lin Changjin, so the points that Xie Chongning just said were not a problem at all.

"Master Hou, don't worry, if I can marry Chang Jin, I will no longer serve as the saint of southern Xinjiang, I will move to the capital, you won't miss it, and in our southern Xinjiang, there are many people who got married before the weak crown."

The emperor was overjoyed, "The holy daughter really likes Lin Aiqing!" If I can't fulfill you both, I'll become a sinner for the ages. "The saints have already made such concessions, this Changtinghou should also agree, "Changtinghou, the saints are so wronged, do you still have any opinions?" ”

"Your Majesty, no!" Changting Hou looked at Luan Pinghou with a sad face, the children of their two families have been engaged, and now if the emperor gives a wedding saint, isn't it their parent Jin who bears the rumor?

"Still not working?" The emperor put down his wine glass heavily, obviously very dissatisfied with the appearance of the Marquis of Changting, "The saint of Southern Xinjiang has a noble status, why is she not worthy of Lin Changjin?" If you want to stop it like this, is it possible that you want me to invite Lin Aiqing and ask him in person? ”

Several other peacemakers also persuaded the Marquis of Changting on the side, "Master Hou, what the emperor said is right, if the children like each other, we elders should not interfere, besides, the saint of Southern Xinjiang has a special identity, if it is an ordinary person, you can't marry it if you want to." ”

Fang Xiao glanced at Xie Chongning, who had successfully retired, and said straightly, this stuffy gourd's heart was full of flowers. The two sentences he said just now, the first sentence was intended to make everyone misunderstand the relationship between Lin Changjin and Yi Xue, and the second sentence seemed to be helping Changtinghou speak, but it was actually a bigger trap.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister doesn't agree, it's actually that the dog already has a marriage contract." Changtinghou patted his thigh helplessly, "If the dog doesn't have a marriage contract, how can the old minister obstruct it in every way?" ”

Yi Xue's mind immediately flashed the figure of Mu Yu, and subconsciously looked at Xie Chongning, who was leisurely tasting wine, and suddenly had a direction in his heart.

She knew that Lin Changjin liked Mu Yu, but as a girl, she was also sure that Mu Yu didn't like Lin Changjin, but liked Xie Chongning.

She lowered her head deeply and pursed her thin lips, her body trembled slightly, and from the emperor's point of view, it seemed as if she was crying.

"Since Lin Changjin already has a marriage contract, why didn't you say it just now?" Angry and crying the holy woman, the emperor said angrily, "Or is this marriage contract made up by you Aiqing?" ”

Changtinghou was also aggrieved, just now he didn't say that he thought Xie Chongning's reason was more decent, who would have thought that the saint didn't care about her own status, and she had to marry Lin Changjin.

"Your Majesty, it's because Yi Xueqiang is in trouble, he confessed so recklessly without inquiring carefully, everything has nothing to do with Lord Hou and Lin Changjin, don't be angry." Yixue's voice was thick and nasal, as if she was really crying.

The struggle between the emperor and the cabinet needs the help of southern Xinjiang, so it is even more necessary to make peace with the holy daughter of southern Xinjiang this time, "Don't be wronged by the holy daughter, today I want to get justice for you, I want to see which woman is engaged to Lin Changjin." ”

Hearing the emperor say this, the name of Mu Yu has already reached his mouth, and the Marquis of Changting has to swallow it back, if he says the name of Mu Yu, I am afraid that the Marquis of Luanping and the girl in Mu Mansion will have to make a note in the emperor's heart.

"Your Majesty, Chang Jin is young, but it may not be unusual to set a baby kiss, Changting Hou is loyal and honest, I am afraid that he has always taken this matter to heart." Xie Chongning kindly relieved the siege for Changtinghou, in fact, he was also faintly worried that Changtinghou would confide in Mu Yu's name.

"Doll pro?" The emperor glanced at the Marquis of Changting, waiting for an answer.

Since Xie Chongning has given himself such a step, if he doesn't borrow the donkey from the slope, it will only embarrass the emperor and the holy woman, and now only admitting it is the best solution, Changtinghou sighed lightly, nodded and said, "Yes, we set a baby kiss for Chang Jin when he was young." ”

"Changtinghou, when you say you, I don't know whether to say that you are honest or stupid."

The emperor chuckled, "How can this doll be counted?" At that time, Lin Aiqing was young, how could he understand this, now he is so close to the saint, according to me, I will marry the two of them on my own initiative, as for Lin Aiqing's doll child, when the time comes, you tell me that I will choose another good son-in-law for her, do you think it's good? ”

The emperor's words seem to be intimate, but in fact he is threatening, he has already given face like this, if the Marquis of Changting has any objections, then he will be sad in the future.

Changting Hou sighed helplessly, and could only kneel down to thank him. Luan Pinghou's face was not good-looking, but his gaze was towards Xie Chongning.

This marriage seems to be forced by the emperor, but this Xie Chongning is clearly fueling the flames behind the scenes, which has fulfilled this time, and also ruined the marriage, if this Xie Chongning has no feelings for the rumor, he will never believe it.

Mu Yu sat in the hall in astonishment and listened to the fact that he was divorced by Lin Changjin, and Mrs. Changting Hou came to the door in person to express her apologies, only asking Mu Yu to understand their difficulties.

"Yu'er, our Changting Marquis Mansion is sorry for you, if you are unhappy, you can make a request, and I will do my best to meet your request." Mrs. Changting Hou lost her former liveliness at this time, and there were a few shallow fine lines at the corners of her eyes, presumably she had been embarrassed about this matter for a long time.

In fact, the matter of being divorced had no effect on Mu Yu, she only had friendship with Lin Changjin, not love, and this marriage was also a surprise for the Marquis of Changting, she was only surprised, mixed with a hint of ease.

"Auntie, it's you who are serious, and the rumor is not an unreasonable person, it is the emperor who gave the marriage, we are subjects, the result cannot be changed, and the rumor can understand you." Mu Yu smiled softly and thoughtfully let the maid watch the tea.

Shen Mei's face was not very good, but she also knew what her sister was, "What the rumor said is right, you can't be blamed for this matter, you have to blame...... Blame these two children for not having fate. ”

The two sisters glanced at each other, and they both sighed helplessly, and could only sigh that creation made people.

"The rumor is so good, we Changjin don't have that blessing." Mrs. Changting Hou took out Mu Yan's hand, and said guiltily and with concern, "Yu'er, although I don't have a chance to be your mother-in-law, but I will be your godmother in the future, don't worry, I will definitely help you choose a wishful husband." ”

"Auntie, what are you doing, I don't blame you, if you keep feeling guilty, it's not my junior." Mu Yu hooked his lips and smiled evilly, "Besides, I don't want to marry so early, maybe the Bodhisattva heard my wish?" ”

What's not to want to marry? Mrs. Changting Hou only took Mu Yu as a forced smile, deliberately comforted herself, and was even more apologetic in her heart, "You kid, it's really loveable and distressing." ”

"Isn't Auntie still preparing for the emperor's marriage? Don't be distracted by me anymore, I'm really fine. Mu Yu turned his hand and patted the back of Mrs. Changtinghou's hand twice.

Mrs. Changting Hou looked at Shen Mei, but she also knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless, so she could only apologize again and again before leaving.

"Mother? Don't be upset, I'm fine. Mu Yu innocently winked at Shen Mei, who had an embarrassed face, and didn't want Shen Mei to be sad with him.

It's just that she didn't know that Shen Mei was sad not because she was ruined by the Marquis of Changting's mansion, but because Mu Heyun told herself after returning home that Lin Changjin was given a marriage, and Xie Chongning was indispensable to get in the way.
