Chapter 11 The Wedding on August 15
"Good. Then let's wait for Lu Xiang to come together. Emperor Chu Wei looked at Shen Mushi and the Empress with a smile.
"Come on, prepare refreshments, I want to have a slow chat with the queen and the prince."
Half an hour later, Lu Chexi, who had just descended from the court, quickly entered the palace in a soft sedan chair.
After listening to the eunuch Li Zhou's decree in the house, I saw my father Lu Binde screaming and jumping and saying: "Oh, you see how accurate Zhang Tiezui said, my little girl really wants to be the princess, and she will definitely be able to be the queen in the future, and there is Feng Laiyi!" ”
But Lu Chexi's heart is very complicated.
He was unwilling to marry his daughter into the imperial family.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and he was reluctant to share a husband with the women of the world. He does not seek wealth and prosperity for all eternity, as long as his daughter is safe, happy and happy for a long time.
However, how to reject the Holy One?
He hadn't thought of a way yet.
It's just that he can't help but think that the person has been picked up.
When he stepped into the palace, Emperor Chu Wei was talking to the crown prince, and the empress was sitting on the right side of the emperor, her face was extremely ugly. There was also a robe on the ground.
Chu Wei Di Lang smiled: "Lu Qing, I'm going to marry you." ”
Lu Chexi looked calm: "The emperor can afford it, but the little girl has already made a marriage." I'm afraid it's not suitable to be a candidate for the crown princess. ”
Lie and don't play drafts.
Shen Mushi raised his eyebrows, looked at Lu Xiang fixedly, and chewed on the meaning of Lu Xiang's words. Don't want to marry him, do you? Better.
Emperor Chu Wei smiled slightly: "Really? The daughter of the Lu family is really popular, and even the prince is fascinated by his beloved daughter. Lu Xiang's goddaughter is well-groomed, and I am very comforted. ”
Lu Chexi waved again, lowered her eyes and said indifferently: "The little girl has a confused personality, behaves rudely, and has no ability to serve as the crown princess. ”
When Shen Mushi heard this, he remembered the white shadow that staggered into his arms, Lu Xiang was quite self-aware, hum.
"Dare to ask which son-in-law Lu Xiang's daughter is married?" Emperor Chu Wei raised his eyebrows, and his tone was calm and without any emotion.
Lu Chexi didn't answer.
"Lu Xiang, it is a big crime to deceive the king." Emperor Chu Wei smiled kindly, but this smile was full of threat. "However, no matter who you promise your daughter to, I will let him get out of the marriage."
Lu Chexi raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Chu Wei, the emperor was threatening him, making a joke about the marriage of the two people.
A wave of anger came over me.
"Lu Xiang's eyes look at me like this? Look at the ground, it's the prince's robe. Emperor Chu Wei didn't care, pointing to the robe on the ground.
Lu Chexi was puzzled, looked at the robe and looked at Emperor Chu Wei.
"Your daughter walked barefoot in the palace in the crown robe early this morning." Emperor Chu Wei smiled again.
Lu Chexi's face changed greatly, and his cold sword-like eyes shot at the crown prince Shen Mushi.
Shen Mushi didn't dodge this murderous gaze, and replied with a cold look.
"So. For the sake of your daughter, Lu Xiang will obey the order. Emperor Chu Wei's eyes seemed to be about to collide with sparks, and the swords were tense.
When Lu Chexi heard this, he glared back at Emperor Chu Wei, gritted his teeth and said, "The emperor has no way to teach his daughter. The minister is willing to hang up the crown and beg to go. ”
As soon as Lu Chexi's words came out, Shen Mushi was furious, and rushed forward to grab Lu Xiang's placket in a moment of anger, and roared: "This prince didn't touch your daughter." Take back your words. ”
Lu Chexi rarely saw the prince so rude and so out of shape, and he was stunned for a moment, but he had no intention of apologizing, for the sake of Shuangshuang, he could do anything.
Emperor Chu Wei laughed: "Good for you Lu Chexi." It's my godson who has no way, the prince, let go of the land minister must not be rude! ”
Shen Mushi had to let go of his hand hatefully.
"Lu Xiang, smart one, when it comes to your daughter, you are nonsense. After working with the prince for many years, can't you believe the prince's words? ”
Empress Xiao was listening to Emperor Chu Wei's words, and looked at her husband in surprise. It turned out that the emperor never listened to his words from beginning to end, he only believed in the prince.
She had never seen the emperor smile so happily, and only then did she realize that she had never understood the emperor's heart. He lowered his head, and his heart was sad.
After Emperor Chu Wei laughed for a while, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said angrily: "No matter what you think, how the two of you fight, today I want to stand up for Lu Shuangshuang." All of you are on your knees and obey! ”
"Your Majesty!" Lu Chexi protested again.
"Lu Xiang, if it is really as Mrs. Lu said, the Lu family is loyal and martyrful, then accept the order. Under the emperor, there is only the emperor Chrysostom, and there is no room for courtiers to put their beaks. Emperor Chu Wei ordered coldly, and his stern eyes also looked at the crown prince.
Shen Mushi naturally understood that Emperor Chu Wei was warning him.
Whether he is the prince or not, the righteousness of the monarch and the father and son cannot be crossed. Emperor Chu Wei is the emperor who is high, as long as he really makes mistakes, Emperor Chu Wei will not show mercy.
So I had to unwillingly lower my eyebrows.
Lu Chexi clenched his fists, and after thinking for a while, he calmed down and knelt down to receive the order.
Regardless of Lu Shuangshuang's reluctance, Empress Xiao calculated everything, but she couldn't count the heart of the emperor.
Regardless of how unwilling Lu Chexi and Shen Mushi were, Emperor Chu Wei decided on the marriage of the two who were entangled for a lifetime.
As soon as Shen Mushi returned to the East Palace, he kicked over a few cases and was furious.
On the other side, after Lu Chexi and Lu Rufeng said a few words, Lu Rufeng went to Jingren Palace to pick up Princess Yunxiu and Shuangshuang.
He returned home alone first, and told the second elder of the Lu family and his wife Liu Ruomei the ins and outs of the matter, only to see that the old lady Lu had an ugly face, but he did not shout loudly unusually.
Liu Ruomei was frightened and fainted, and after a burst of flying dogs, Liu Ruomei woke up in Lu Chexi's arms, and her first sentence was: "Why do you want to promise the emperor?" ”
Lu Chexi sighed, organized his words a little and suppressed the anger in his heart, and then calmly explained to his wife: "The Lu family is now a big family and has many people, and it has long been a thorn in the side of others. Even if you don't agree to the emperor's marriage today, I'm afraid you will marry other princes in the future. Not to mention the other princes, the emperor is very fond of the prince and has high hopes, even if this happens, he still trusts the prince and does not investigate whether the prince's behavior is at a loss. This means that the chances of other princes trying to bring down the crown prince are slim. Moreover, the innocence of both is in doubt. Speaking of this, Liu Ruomei burst into tears. He patted his wife on the back and whispered reassurance.
"The Lu family can only choose to support the prince and support the prince all the way to the throne to ensure the peace of the family." Old Lady Lu finished what Lu Chexi had not finished saying with a solemn face.
Lu Chexi looked at his father and nodded slightly.
"That's why I'd rather be a school clerk for the rest of my life." Old Lady Lu sighed slightly, and held Old Lady Lu's hand tightly. And Mrs. Lu gave him a knowing look in his heart.
The reason for staying away from the core of power is only to stay away from court battles. It's just that he can't stop his child from taking the road. Now that his laughing words have come true, his beloved little granddaughter is inexplicably involved in the fight, and he has also dragged the Lu family into the battle for the prince, but it is something he never expected.
"You can eat food indiscriminately, but you really can't talk nonsense." Old lady Lu raised her head and sighed.
Shen Mushi walked into the study with an angry face and kicked over a few cases, and his blood was churning.
Three months later, on August 15, my father set the day for the wedding, and said to him with a smile: "August 15 is reunited." I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. It's a good day! Hahaha! ”
He remembered Lu Shuangshuang's timid appearance in the cold mist, and when he thought of compassion, she used his robe to accuse him of mistreating her! She's so bold!
Her innocent and delicate appearance was clearly fake, but she just beat her own army! I have never suffered such a big loss, so that Queen Xiao is satisfied with a woman by his side, thinking of this, Shen Mushi gritted his teeth with hatred, and kicked over a lampstand in anger.
Xiaoshuang listened to the report from the palace maid and was extremely surprised to learn the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had lost his temper.
Rushed to take a look, several cases in the hall overturned, the flowers and porcelain were broken, the lampstand also fell to one side, and several palace people knelt on the ground and were silent. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been so out of control, he is really angry, and there is no trace of depression.
"Your Highness......" Xiaoshuang called tentatively.
Only then did Shen Mushi turn his head to look at her and not say a word.
"You all go down." After Shen Mushi took a deep breath, he coldly ordered the people who were kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"Yes." If the palace people were amnesty, they quickly retreated.
"Your Highness, what happened?" Xiaoshuang was dressed in a hundred flowers and embroidered, and walked gracefully towards Shen Mushi.
Shen Mushi sat down on the soft couch in the hall, looking at her and still not saying a word. Xiaoshuang was furious by what he saw, and she didn't dare to ask again for a while.
"Ah~" Xiao Shuangjiao snorted. Shen Mushi grabbed his big hand and pulled Xiaoshuang's waist and sat on his lap.
"Little Frost. I met a man in the Brocade Garden today. Shen Mushi's voice was hoarse, and he buried his head in Xiaoshuang's white and tender neck.
"I'm afraid, I'm going to break my promise to you."
"Huh? What the...... Who ......" Xiaoshuang was puzzled.
Shen Mushi didn't speak, but recalled that the queen had just rushed into the hall in a domineering manner, and there were several ministers present.
Emperor Chu Wei asked indifferently: "What is the important matter of the empress, she has to come to the palace?" ”
Empress Xiao straightened her waist and said loudly in front of the ministers: "Please ask the emperor to make the decision for the concubines." ”
Emperor Chu Wei looked tired and impatient: "Is it a family affair or a state affair?" ”
Empress Xiao raised her chin: "Both." ”
Emperor Chu Wei frowned, pouted and sneered, "That's a family matter." Retreat first. The Queen and I have family matters to discuss. ”
When Empress Xiao heard Emperor Chu Wei say this, regardless of the presence of courtiers, she loudly proclaimed: "It is about the prince's misconduct, this is a state matter!" The concubine implored the emperor to abolish the prince! As soon as she finished speaking, the courtiers were in an uproar.
Shen Mushi was also puzzled for a moment when he heard the queen be so sure, and raised his eyes and looked at her coldly at what she was about to say.
Emperor Chu Wei didn't wait for Empress Xiao to continue to sprinkle, and he was already furious: "Hmph." If the queen of the reserve and the waste reserve have the final say, it is better for you to sit on this dragon chair! Emperor, be it! Retreat! ”
Then he stood up and stroked his sleeves and walked away. didn't take two steps, then turned around and said sternly to him: "Prince, follow me to the imperial study!" ”
