Chapter 180: Yin Jixuan's Marriage Cage
As soon as they left the courtyard gate, they saw a family member hurriedly running over, and said in front of Chu Yaocen: "Second young master, someone outside has sent a letter. ”
Duanmu saw that he had something to solve, so he took the initiative to say, "Yaocen, Qingdi, I'll go back first." ”
"Well, sister-in-law go slowly, thank you sister-in-law for kindly reminding us today." Chu Yaocen was still very polite to the Duanmu clan, and he didn't want to have any trouble with her, so he said with a smile.
Duanmu also smiled slightly, although Chu Yaocen thanked her, but she knew very well in her heart that Chu Yaocen and Qingdi would never take her words to heart, these two people are now thinking big.
After the Duanmu clan left, Chu Yaocen took the letter curiously and asked, "Who sent it?" ”
"Sent by someone from the Seven Princes' Mansion."
"Oh? Xiao Qi sent it. Chu Yaocen opened the letter and said to Qingdi: "When we came back, thanks to his vigorous publicity, within two days, the entire imperial city knew that I had recovered my mind, and I wanted to get together with him after I came back, but I was never free." ”
Qingdi nodded and asked, "Why did he write to you again?" The Seven Kings' Mansion is so close to the Chu family, isn't it just to run over and say? ”
Chu Yaocen had already finished reading the things in his hand, closed it and handed it to Qingdi, and said, "It's an invitation, he's going to get married, just tomorrow." ”
Qingdi couldn't help but show a surprised expression, this broken paper in black and white is also an invitation? Or is it an invitation to get married? Anyway, you have to make it red, and write "囍" on the outside, right? Then she opened the invitation, and the content of it surprised her even more, it read: "Brother Chu, on the day you went to Nanzhong, I had a skin-to-skin relationship with the daughter of the Prime Minister's Lady, which was originally a trivial matter, but I didn't expect her to be pregnant, so I had to marry her, anyway, I originally said that I would marry her." I've been waiting until now, just to invite you back for a wedding drink, okay to you? ”
"He's really going to marry Feng Yanhui?" Qingdi asked incredulously.
"yes, didn't he say it before? I heard that this matter was brokered by Concubine Li. Chu Yaocen smiled slightly, he already knew about the situation.
Qingdi still felt unimaginable, not only said: "But their identities are really too different, now Fengyanhui is not the daughter of the prime minister, but Yin Jihui is in full swing, and Yin Jihui is only seventeen or eighteen years old, he already has such outstanding political achievements, in a few years, it will definitely become a big obstacle for the fourth prince and the second prince, and I don't know how many eunuchs want to marry his daughter to him, he married so early, what will he do in the future?" ”
Chu Yaocen smiled slightly, and said: "When you married me, the relationship between the two of us was also very different, you are the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I am the concubine of a merchant family, isn't this still a good life?" ”
"That's different, I'm not favored, I'm a tool in Feng Boyang's eyes, she is reluctant to marry me to you." Qingdi sighed, and couldn't help but be a little worried about Yin Jixuan, and said: "Feng Yanhui is not an easy person to deal with, I guess when the time comes, she won't let Yin Jihui marry someone else." ”
"Don't worry, Xiao Qi is not a simple person. Let's talk about other people's business, and do what people like. Chu Yaocen grabbed Qingdi and said, "Let's go to the medicine hall quickly, there are still many things to deal with, and you still have a lot of things to learn, hurry up." ”
Qingdi answered, and went to the medicine hall with Chu Yaocen, and the two were busy in the medicine hall until the evening, and the next morning, the two were ready, first went to the medicine hall, and then went to the Seven Kings' Mansion.
When the two of them arrived, Yin Jixuan was on the way to marry Feng Yanhui, after Chu Yaocen paid the gift money, someone came to lead the two of them in, the two of them entered from the main gate, Qingdi looked at the inconspicuous word "Xi" on the door, and the surrounding scene was not lively, and couldn't help but feel very strange, and asked his own humanity: "Why doesn't it look very lively?" Didn't the Seventh Prince invite a lot of people to come? ”
"No," the man replied with a smile, "How old are the guests at the side door, only the Second Young Master Chu, Second Young Grandma Chu and a few other people who have a good relationship with our prince have come in through the main entrance, and the bride will also enter through the side door later, and then go directly to the side hall to get married." ”
"Why did you come in through the side door?" Qingdi was even more puzzled.
"Because of our palace, only the future princess can come in through the main gate, and the concubines and side concubines must come in through the side door." The man replied honestly.
Qingdi couldn't help but be a little surprised, it turned out that Feng Yanhui was not here to be Faye Wong, but to be a concubine? She thought for a while, and then asked, "Then is the prince marrying a concubine or a side lady today?" ”
"Concubine." The man replied: "In our palace, except for the future princess, all those who marry in are concubines, and after making great contributions, such as giving birth to a child, then they can be promoted to side ladies." ”
When Qingdi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and he knew in his heart, Yin Jixuan was not a stupid person, how could he let a woman who had no benefit to him become his princess so early? She turned her head to Chu Yaocen and said, "No wonder, I just said, how can Yin Jixuan, such a good seedling, get married so early, it turns out that he is just marrying a concubine." ”
Chu Yaocen also smiled, looked at Qingdi and said, "You seem to be very happy, I guess your sister doesn't know yet, and she is full of joy and thinks that she is here to be a princess." Why are you so bad, this is starting to gloat. ”
Qingdi didn't care about Chu Yaocen saying this, and replied honestly: "Yes, I just hate her, whoever told her to have been bullying me before, I was happy to see her deflated, I can't wait to see what kind of reaction she will make after knowing that she was brought in from the side door and is still a concubine." ”
"Alright, let's get over there." Chu Yaocen saw Qingdi's complacent appearance, which was really cute, and couldn't help rubbing her hair, and said, "You are really a child who doesn't grow up, hurry up, there will definitely be more good shows to watch later." ”
Qingdi nodded, and went to the side hall with Chu Yaocen, the decoration of this palace was too simple and perfunctory, just a few pieces of red silk, pasted a few inconspicuous happy words, and it was impossible to see that he was doing a happy event from the outside.
I heard that the team of Yin Xixuan's greeting relatives today is also very simple, and there is not even a carriage, so he went directly to the former Prime Minister's Mansion with a small sedan chair and took Fengyanhui over.
After Qingdi arrived here, he didn't find many guests, and the ministers of the court and the central government invited a few, and the others were all young masters of the official eunuch family who had a good relationship with Yin Jixuan, and it seemed that there were less than fifty people, and I don't know how far worse it was than when I married Chu Yaocen before. The main marriage was Concubine Li, and the Yin family didn't come.
Not long after Chu Yaocen and Qingdi sat down, Yin Jixuan led the Fengyanhui wearing a red hijab to come in, and after the two of them finished saluting briefly, Yin Jihui lifted the red hijab of Fengyanhui and said, "After the salute is over, later, you and I will accompany the brothers to have a bar." After he finished speaking, he greeted everyone: "Today is a simple happy event, everyone goes to the courtyard, good wine and good food to eat, and I will invite you to eat again in the future!" ”
After he finished speaking, everyone said yes, and they went out one after another, and Qingdi pulled Chu Yaocen to walk behind in order to watch the show, waiting for Yin Jixuan to go over with them.
Feng Yanhui's face was full of puzzlement, but he didn't refuse, nodded, and asked in a low voice: "I haven't seen any family get married, and they lifted the bride's hijab directly outside." ”
"Huh? Aren't all concubines like this? Qingdi interjected lightly.
Feng Yanhui glared at her, she didn't know that she was a concubine, she opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she didn't expect Yin Jihui to also smile and say, "It's not a wife, you don't have to be so particular." ”
"What? You took me as a concubine? Feng Yanhui was shocked, her voice suddenly raised twice, and she couldn't help but make the guests who went out just now turn their heads to look at her, Yin Jihui felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but cool down.
Concubine Li, who walked to the two of them, couldn't help but stop, and said to Feng Yanhui: "Yanhui, it's not me saying you, people must be self-aware, think about it yourself, when Qingdi was a concubine of the Prime Minister's house, didn't she marry a concubine of a merchant family?" You are a concubine, and you still want to be a princess? ”
Feng Yanhui suddenly wanted to cry, she looked around, but she didn't find where the Yin family was, she couldn't see the backer, she had no confidence in her heart, and tears began to roll in her eyes.
"Hey, don't cry, after all, I made you two as a matchmaker, you just don't give me face when you cry, I thought we were bullying you when I said it." Concubine Li comforted her again.
Yin Jixuan was a little helpless, and said: "Don't cry, okay, I didn't make it clear to you, I apologize to you, but the child in your belly also came too suddenly, I wasn't ready to marry you, so you came like this, so I had to prepare for this marriage in a hurry, and I forgot about it." ”
Feng Yanhui bit her lower lip, because without the Yin family protecting her behind her back, she didn't dare to play tricks.
"But you have to believe that I love you, just because your identity can't make you a princess all of a sudden, you also have to know that I am a member of the royal family after all, and these identities seem to be decided by me, but in fact, they are all decided by others." Yin Jihui grabbed Feng Yanhui's shoulder, looked down at her, and stroked her belly affectionately with his other hand, and said, "If you give birth to a boy for this king, this king will also have a reason to promote your position, and naturally he will not treat you badly." ”
Yin Jihui is a good hand at coaxing women, he is as gentle as water, and he has said it all, Feng Yanhui naturally nodded hopefully, stopped crying, and went out to drink with him with the guests.
I don't know if Feng Yanhui felt embarrassed, so he deliberately avoided Qingdi and Chu Yaocen, and sat opposite the two. But Yin Jihui didn't seem to know, sat down next to Chu Yaocen, and beckoned Feng Yanhui and said, "Yanhui, why don't you go over and sit with your sister?" ”
