Chapter 273: Choosing a Wife
There was a few knocks on the door, and Xiang Zhu came in with wine-brewed balls, put them down, and then withdrew.
Yan Qi looked at it and said, "You haven't had dinner yet?" ”
Jiang Lingran said: "I've used it, and I'm hungry again." ”
Yan Qi didn't believe this, and said, "Since your appetite is so good, why are you still thin?" ”
Jiang Lingran stirred the wine-stuffed balls in the bowl, and said without raising his head: "Where is the thin?" It's clear that you're wrong. ”
Yan Qi put down the small briquette, wiped her palm on her clothes, then held her face, felt it, and said, "Obviously thin." ”
He thought he couldn't make a ruler! Jiang Lingran angrily shook his hand away: "I'm really drunk!" Hurry up! ”
Yan Qi hadn't seen her for a long time, so she didn't dare to pull out her beard anymore, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you, you eat quickly." ”
Jiang Lingran thought of the way he rubbed rice in plain days and the posture of eating moon cakes just now, and couldn't help asking, "Do you eat it?" ”
Yan Qi looked at the cup of wine-stuffed balls smaller than the palm of his hand, shook his head and said, "Don't eat it." He said and lay down on the chaise longue.
Jiang Lingran ate it himself.
But even if he doesn't say anything or do anything, he has a full sense of existence.
Turning his head to look at him, he said, "Don't stare at me!" ”
Yan Qi hurriedly looked away, stared at the roof and said, "I thought you had something to ask me." ”
Jiang Lingran paused and said, "I thought you didn't come to me because I was afraid that I would ask you." ”
"If you don't want me to ask, why should I ask?"
Yan Qi pulled his lips and smiled: "I thought I came too often, you would be annoyed." ”
Jiang Lingran looked at him quietly.
Yan Qi was looked at like this for a while, sighed, sat up and said, "Not yet." ”
I don't have the intention of taking the heir for the time being, so what about the future? Jiang Lingran lost his appetite to eat and said, "You plan to live in the palace all the time?" ”
Yan Qi looked at her for a moment, and asked instead of answering: "You don't want me to sit in that seat?" ”
Jiang Lingran said: "Don't you like it? ”
Yan Qi was stunned.
He thought she would say that he was not talented, unsuitable, or that he had "vices" listed by the official, but she just said that he didn't like it.
In case of trouble, she puts his preferences first.
Yan Qi's heart was warm, and he lay back in the chair and said, "I heard that Wan Jingxi's sister is married to the Liang family in Jiangnan?" ”
Jiang Lingran didn't turn the topic back, and nodded "um".
Yan Qi said: "What date is set?" ”
Jiang Lingran said: "The sixth day of March next year." ”
Yan Qi thought for a while, turned his head to look at the full moon outside the window, and said with a smile: "Jiangnan in March is very beautiful, it's a good day." ”
Jiang Lingran heard the yearning and nostalgia in his words.
On a full moon night, he was homesick.
"Jiang Lingran, if you have a chance, you must go to Jiangnan to see, where is really beautiful."
Jiang Lingran nodded.
Yan Qi returned to Yan Mansion.
Baixiang didn't know that Yan Qi would come back, so she smacked her shoes, watched sleepily as people entered the house, and followed: "Why did the emperor let you come back at this time?" Did something happen? ”
Yan Qi said: "The emperor stayed in Chengqian Palace today, and I secretly came out by myself." ”
It was true that the emperor stayed in Chengqian Palace, but what Yan Qi didn't expect was that the emperor would send someone to ask him who was drunk.
After learning that he was carrying moon cakes out of the palace, he was curious about where he was going, so he sent someone to follow.
The emperor thought that he would go to Wanhualou, but he didn't expect the person who came back to say that Yan Qi went to Erhe Street.
Erhe Street, Jiang Zero Dyeing!
Remembering that day when he had dinner in the queen's palace, he deliberately let the palace maid who served the soup slip her hand, and when the soup cup fell to the ground, Yan Qi's body stiffened obviously, and he looked nervously at the person beside him.
It turned out that he was not mistaken.
The emperor didn't sleep all night.
Two days later, Chengqian Palace issued an order to invite Jiang Lingran into the palace.
At this time, Yan Qi was in Baoshan and didn't know about it.
Jiang Lingran arrived at Chengqian Palace, and keenly found that the atmosphere was condensed and solemn.
And there are only the emperor and queen in the palace, and there is no trace of Yan Liangyi.
Her heart condensed slightly, lowered her eyebrows and approached her, respectfully asking for peace.
The queen glanced sideways at the emperor, looked at Jiang Lingran again with a light in her eyes, and said softly with a smile: "Get up." ”
Jiang Lingran thanked him and got up.
The queen gave her a seat, and greeted her about family affairs and accompanying the princess to Huangjue Temple.
Jiang Lingran replied cautiously.
In the conversation, she couldn't find any details for her to guess the reason why the queen let her enter the palace today.
The emperor, who had not spoken on the side, coughed twice, and the queen immediately said with concern: "What does the emperor think?" Do I need to ask a doctor to see him? ”
The emperor shook his head, his eyes fell on her for the first time when Jiang Ling entered the hall.
"Miss Jiang, let's take a look too." A hoarse, slightly old-fashioned voice.
Jiang Lingran was puzzled, what did she want to see?
The queen looked at the emperor seriously, and her mind turned a few times, but she didn't say anything.
The emperor raised his finger and pointed to the stack of posts on the small table next to him.
Jiang Lingran didn't know what it was, but he didn't dare to disobey, he said yes, walked over, picked up a book and opened it to see, it was a famous post.
The woman on the name card is smiling, gentle and beautiful.
The emperor's voice came: "Before Miss Jiang came, I and the queen were choosing a wife for Zi'an. ”
"You and Zi'an have met many times, so you should know him a little."
"Let's help with the selection."
Jiang Lingran then understood.
For a while, the post in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Her eyelashes trembled a few times, covering her eyes, the corners of her lips curled into a smile, closed the post, and said respectfully: "The emperor has tormented the people's daughter, how dare the people's daughter interfere in the marriage of the seventh son?" ”
"With the emperor and the queen in charge, Prince Qi will definitely marry a virtuous and virtuous girl."
The queen saw that she understood, and said with a smile: "That's the truth." ”
The emperor's eyes were cold, he glanced at her, and said angrily: "The prince has repeatedly sent news back, praising your brother for his clear mind and knowing what to do and what not to do!" ”
"You brothers and sisters must have the same heart."
Jiang Lingran walked among the cascading palace walls, and there was silence all around, only the slanted shadow chasing her.
She should have left.
It would have been nice if I had gone to the border with my brother at the beginning.
In the evening, Yan Qi returned to the city and was invited to the palace by Xiao Fuzi, who had been waiting at the city gate.
At dinner, the emperor talked about Jiang Lingran helping him choose a wife.
Yan Qi paused the chopsticks in his hand and squinted at the past: "Who did the emperor say?" ”
The emperor said: "Deputy Commander Jiang's sister, Jiang Lingran." ”
Yan Qi froze for a moment, and his bright eyes suddenly became dark.
But a smile appeared on his face, and he said casually: "She helped me choose?" I don't know who I chose? ”
The emperor glanced sideways at Gao Desheng.
Gao Desheng hurriedly and respectfully presented a famous post.
Yan Qi stared at the famous post for a while, and raised his hand with his jaw tight.
The post that was lifted off spun around in the air a few times and smashed under his feet.
Yan Qi got up and said, "The emperor atoned for his sins, and the grass people remembered that there were important things in the house, so they couldn't dine with you." After saying that, he left the table, and his shoes happened to step on the name card.
Gao Desheng's frightened heart stopped, and he looked at the emperor in a panic.
The emperor's expression was faint: "Let him go, the child is just awkward!" ”
