Chapter 70: How to meet as when we first met

"The two are happy, this word is really nice." Ruoyan seemed to remember something, "You two sang well, do you have any reward you want?" ”

"Back to the mother, the villains don't ask for rewards." Shuwen kowtowed, "As long as the mother doesn't blame the villains, the villains will be content." ”

Ruoyan laughed: "Xueying, look at the two of them, do they look like a pair of beautiful people?" ”

The slave thought it was. What does the mother think? The warbler laughed too.

"Zhang Sheng and Yingying themselves are a good story, what do you say that this palace will not be able to fulfill them?" Ruoyan said with a smile, and there seemed to be a little more brilliance in his eyes.

The Shuwen and Shufang were very happy when they heard it, and they hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them: "Thank you for your grace!" ”

"There are really few happy things to enter the palace. I have heard people say that the beauty of adults is also merit. If it becomes a good thing in this marriage between the two of them, maybe it can be regarded as a blessing for the unborn child. Ruoyan touched her stomach and smiled, her eyes a little complicated.

"Since the mother has made a will, the slave and maid will immediately send someone to do it." The snow warbler blessed the body.

Shufang was even more happy and couldn't care less about the number of etiquette tugging on Shuwen's sleeve, smiling like a flower: "Awen, Niangniang has made an order, Awen, we are going to get married!" ”

Marriage is a big deal in Zhou and Tang, if there is no parent's life, the words of the matchmaker are not easy to naturalize, and it is more troublesome. For example, most of these people who are orphans, in addition to being a family is not easy to naturalize, it is not easy to hold a ceremony, and those who enter the palace cannot get married without the grace of the master before leaving the palace.

"Okay, don't be busy and be happy, go back and embroider the wedding dress." Ruoyan smiled. She looked at Shufang, as if she saw herself back then. When she was not a child, she also believed in the joy of the two loves, and believed that lovers would eventually become married. At that time, it was already a great happiness to be with his beloved, but he was still looking forward to the day when he could be his wife. Only nowadays, none of that is anymore. Isn't she fulfilling Shufang and Shuwen today fulfilling her selfishness?

The good day is very close, and it can be regarded as a coincidence, just in time for such a time, and the time is just right. By the time she finished handing over the Geng post and preparing for the wedding ceremony, Shufang was nervous as if she was something. The bright red wedding dress was embroidered by her for seven or eight days, and it looked very good. It can be seen that it was embroidered day and night.

When it came to the day of marriage, because the two did not have real estate outside, the cave house was a small courtyard in the palace of the court. If Yan is idle and has nothing to do, he will also go to ask for a cup of wine to drink.

Recently, things in the court have been busy, Luo Hansheng has returned to the court, and there is more of a transfer of power, and the scientific examination is about to begin. Li Yizhe was so busy, so he didn't accompany her, and specially sent an extra team of guards to accompany her.

If Yan's stomach has begun to show her pregnancy now, Li Yizhe is naturally very careful, and even the palace is cautious. Because this child was the first child in the palace for so many years, the former dynasty was also very nervous. It's just that this nervousness also has something else. Naturally, some people have moved some thoughts, and now if Yan is pregnant and can't accept favor, wouldn't that be a great opportunity for the daughters of other officials?

No, the next morning, Shen Funian, the head of the household department, proposed the draft.

Li Yizhe subconsciously wanted to refuse, now that the government is clear, there is no need to use women to maintain the government. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was indeed mostly due to Luo Hansheng, and he felt panicked in his heart.

It's just that before he could say anything to refuse, at this time, Luo Hansheng stepped forward with an ivory wat board and bowed down: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Shen Shilang said is true." Now that the heirs of the harem are not prosperous, if you only have an only son from the concubine Niangniang, it will definitely not be enough. Besides, the concubine Niangniang's birth is not necessarily the prince. is to give birth to a prince, and when the time comes, there will be no other heirs in the palace, and the little prince will be spoiled and spoiled, and it will be difficult to become a big thing. Bringing some newcomers into the harem to prolong the heirs for His Majesty is the top priority now. ”

"I haven't yet reached the age of establishment, so I can put this matter aside." Li Yizhe's head hurts, he really doesn't want to stuff people into the harem anymore, and now that are a few of them, it's annoying enough.

Lin Shujing also stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of the heir is to be considered when His Majesty is young now. The country is unsustainable, and the people's hearts are unstable. ”

"The days are still long, and now the concubine is still pregnant, where are the draft ministers going to put me in front of the concubine at this time? The wife is waiting to give birth, but the husband is taking a concubine. I would never do such a shameless thing. This matter needs not be discussed again. Li Yizhe was a little annoyed.

How could he not know what Luo Hansheng was thinking in his heart, at this time, the draft was not to separate the relationship between him and Ruoyan! As for this Shen Funian, Li Yizhe squinted dangerously.

"Your Majesty, it is very inappropriate to say this. Although the concubine Niangniang is now the head of the harem, she is not the queen. According to the ancestral etiquette system, the concubine Niangniang is also a concubine. And the affairs of the palace are the affairs of the state, and His Majesty's draft is a matter of course, so what can the concubine be displeased. Jealousy is a big taboo for the concubine, if the concubine is displeased, His Majesty should think more about whether the concubine should sit or not. Xuanwu Hou stepped forward to speak, his eyes shining with fine light. These words were sent to him by Qu Cong yesterday. It is also a good thing for Shu'er to be able to pull Ruoyan off her position. His daughter should be the queen.

"Presumptuous!" Li Yizhe gritted his teeth, "Is the concubine Niangniang also something you can judge?" Xuanwu Hou committed the following three times twice, and the body of the previous dynasty vainly talked about the concubine What kind of behavior this is, Xiao Shangshu, you talk to me! If you Xuanwu Hou is not strict with her daughter, you will make trouble in the palace, and you will not know how to restrain yourself in the previous dynasty! Indeed, there is a father, and there is a son! ”

Xuanwu Hou was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, Li Yizhe was furious! But there's nothing wrong with his words...... Endure...... Makes sense, huh?

Xiao Hai Xiao Shangshu stepped forward and saluted: "When the Marquis of Xuanwu was the marquis, he was given three grades, and the latter was from the second grade. The concubine is a genuine product. In terms of grade, it is disrespectful for Xuanwu Hou to talk about Niangniang. Moreover, Niangniang is the master of the middle palace, and the previous war between our country and Southern Chu was also thanks to Niangniang who used her dowry silver to make up a large number of medicines and send them to the front line, so that our country would not lose too much. Niangniang is also a great contributor to the country. No one in the previous dynasty was disobedient or disrespectful to the concubine. Lord Xuanwu Hou insinuated and accused Niangniang, and the minister thought that he should be severely punished. ”

"Go on." Li Yizhe felt a little more comfortable in his heart.

"If you indulge Xuanwu Marquis like this, and despise the heroes of the country like this, what will other loyal ministers think in the future? Xuanwu Hou said that if the mother minds, she is jealous, and she should consider whether she is worthy of sitting in the position of the concubine, these words, in addition to humiliating the mother, are also insulting Your Majesty, which is detrimental to the majesty of the heavenly family. The minister thought that although he had to be punished heavily, the Marquis of Xuanwu had also made meritorious contributions to the country, so it was better to demote him to an earl as a punishment. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks you should do? ”

"That's right." Li Yizhe didn't hesitate to agree, he had been unhappy with Xuanwu Hou for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Princess Wuyang has a letter." Father-in-law Lin hurried over from the side door to present a letter.

Li Yizhe frowned: "Read." ”

"Shu Chen's sister was abrupt, the Nanban Khan died violently, and his eldest son Su Tai was sixteen years old and succeeded to the throne of Khan. After Su Tai succeeded to the throne, he wanted his stepwife and sister to be the side concubine. The courtier's sister was unwilling and was placed under house arrest. This letter went to the court, and asked the imperial brother to save the courtiers. Lin Gonggong's hands began to tremble, this ...... It was hard for him to read.

Li Yizhe also frowned when he heard this. When asked about the opinions of the ministers, none of them dared to speak.

Although Concubine Shen has been placed under house arrest, the Shen family is a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen. Princess Wuyang is very favored by Concubine Shen, if she helps Princess Wuyang at this time, she will definitely be able to show her face in front of the Shen family, but it will also annoy Li Yizhe. After all, Princess Wuyang's request is not in accordance with the etiquette law.

Some people thought about it, and the two factions argued endlessly in the court.

Suddenly, I heard a voice at the door: "The concubine has arrived!" ”

A group of people froze in place, this ...... Why is Yun Guifei here? Harem women are not allowed to come forward to court, that is the rule of the ancestors! It's messed up, it's all messed up!

"What are you talking about?" If the face is smiling, although wearing a veil, the beautiful peach blossom eyes revealed the style is enough to make people feel fascinated, "This palace looks at the time of lunch, I am afraid that Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, hungry and hurts the dragon's body, so I came to take a look." Surely you are hungry too, right? The palace ordered people to bring a meal over, this year the osmanthus bloomed early, the palace called the palace people to pick the first stubble to make cakes, and the adults also tasted a fresh snack as a snack. You're welcome. ”

Zhongli is an old minister who has read countless people in the court, he looked at Ruoyan and only felt that this woman was not simple, and no one could say anything about her behavior of letting her run to the court with a few dishes of food, and he also hugged the heart of gratitude to Dade. It's not easy.

The palace maid who slipped behind Ruoyan gave the meals to the ministers according to their ranks, and then retreated. Ruoyan brought a plate of begonia cake to Li Yizhe, and happened to see the letter from Princess Wuyang on the table.

"Now that the meal has been delivered, the concubine has retired." If the face is blessed, the body will leave.

Li Yizhe grabbed her sleeve and narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly: "You saw it all?" Counting it, Princess Wuyang is also a member of the harem, and she has humiliated you before. Yan, you don't have anything to say about this? ”

"Princess Wuyang is out alone, and the custom of Nanban's stepwife may also frighten her. The concubine is also a woman, so she naturally hopes that His Majesty can help her. After all, she is also His Majesty's sister. Ruoyan frowned and pondered for a moment, "It's just that it is also in line with the customs of the Nanban for the new Khan of the Nanban to marry her, and I am afraid that we will also destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries if we go to ask for someone." It is one thing for a concubine to consider it selfishly, but it is another thing for His Majesty's Jiangshan Sheji. The concubines really didn't know what to do. ”

"Now the opinions of the ministers are helpful and unhelpful. I don't know what to do anymore. Li Yizhe raised his eyebrows. Just looking at him, it doesn't look like he has no idea.

Ruoyan had already seen it, of course, and only smiled and said, "Your Majesty has an idea, so why do you need to say more about the concubine?" ”

Luo Xiang hasn't said anything yet. He's your brother, and I'd like to hear what he has to say. A hint of calculation flashed in Li Yizhe's narrow phoenix eyes.

Back then, Princess Wuyang fell in love with him and humiliated Ruoyan, and he should be wise to protect himself in this matter.

Ruoyan looked at Luo Hansheng, she was looking for an excuse to come and see him today, but the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and Li Yizhe were there, she could only sneak a look twice. She felt a little sad in her heart, but she smiled on her face: "In the past, it was well known that the princess liked her brother, and it was really difficult for my brother to say anything about this." Your Majesty has an idea, why don't you talk about it? The concubine felt that His Majesty must have thought more appropriately. ”

"Help must be helped, it just depends on how to help." Li Yizhe was also happy to be flattered by Ruoyan like this, so he no longer embarrassed Luo Hansheng. In fact, Li Yizhe knew very well in his heart that Ruoyan must not come for him.

But even so, what fell in Luo Hansheng's eyes was the appearance of the two of them looking like Qin Se and Ming. He clenched his fists so that he didn't lose his temper. He looked at Li Yizhe now, and he only felt disgusted. The secrets that Jiu Niangzi told him made him hate Li Yizhe after he verified them.
