Chapter 81: Marriage
Ran Ying had insomnia this night. She tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, only feeling the cold penetrate her bones. She should have known that for a powerful person like Yu Wentai, marriage could be used and must be used well. How could she be so stupid, because he was so kind to her, so carried away, pinning her fantasies on such a dangerous person.
What did he want to tell her today? Will she be the right option that must be discarded? Ran Ying faintly, a huge uneasiness rose in her heart.
Yu Wentai didn't fall asleep that night. He had been standing in front of the window, watching the snow fall outside the window. The snow has been falling for a day and a night, and the court is full of silver and white at the moment, and the candles in the courtyard are shining, which is very beautiful.
He deliberately told her today that the Supreme had abolished his beloved queen for the sake of the country, so that she could understand that the rules of the game at the top were very cruel.
He undoubtedly liked her, and since he came back from Qinzhou, he liked her more than day by day. But the more I like her, the more reluctant I am to apply this cruel rule to her. Of course, he had many ways to force her to stay as a concubine, but his Ah Ying was full of energy, and she was a scorching night pearl in the dark night. How could he let her be confined in a backyard, oppressed by Princess Gaoping, and sullen all day long. As the days go by, the pearl of the night will become a dead fish's eye.
However, he was confined to the highest echelons of power in Chang'an, and his every move was closely watched and implicated. What Yuan Shun said today is not a good word.
Since ancient times, no minister would refuse a royal marriage, and even a powerful minister would rush to marry the royal family in order to show his loyalty to the imperial family. In the past, Cao Cao married his daughter to Emperor Xian of Han, and Er Zhurong married his daughter to Emperor Xiaozhuang.
He rejected his marriage to Princess Gaoping, and the ministers who were already opposed to him certainly had reason to think that he would soon openly go against the emperor. Some people even believe that the Supreme will soon become the next Emperor Xiaowu.
The crisis in the east has not been eliminated, Rouran is eyeing the tiger, the stability of the situation is really the top priority, and he is really not strong enough to deal with Ran Ying.
His wife's position, I'm afraid he can only exchange it for benefits.
On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Yu and Su Xuan came to find Ran Ying to go to the street together. During the Shangyuan Festival, the streets are crowded with people who want to go to the lantern lighting ceremony.
It is said that Shakyamuni Buddha performed miracles on the fifteenth day of the first month to subdue demons and subdue demons, and the monks held the "Lighting Lamp Festival" in order to commemorate this day. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming believed in Buddhism and ordered the royal family to hold a "lantern festival" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the temple and the common people should light and hang lamps, and he also personally went to the temple to light the lantern to show respect.
In this dynasty, the whole country believed in Buddhism, so the custom of lighting the lamp puja was handed down. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor will lead hundreds of officials to worship the door god in the palace, and the queen will lead the concubines to worship the silkworm god and welcome Zigu.
After the sacrifice, the emperor set up a palace banquet to entertain hundreds of officials.
Ran Ying and the three of them first went to Fuji Temple to watch the lantern puja, and then wandered around the street for a while, playing a little tired, sitting on the street stall to eat Lantern Festival, you and I talked about the emperor to marry Princess Rouran after the year.
Su Sui said: "I heard that Princess Guile is not satisfied with the abolition of the queen and just moved the palace, saying that one palace is not allowed for two queens, and asks the Supreme to be placed separately." The Supreme could only let the abolished queen go to live in Dongxia Prefecture, the fief of King Yuanwu of Wudu, and Princess Rosewood agreed to come to hold the canonization ceremony as scheduled. ”
"That's too bullying." Li Yu said.
"Isn't it? But now the prime minister wants to concentrate on dealing with Gao Huan, and he can only rely on her. By the way, speaking of the prime minister, I heard that his big day is also set. Su Xuan swallowed a Lantern Festival in one bite, and the hot stuffing came out, so hot that he slapped his mouth.
Since she broke up with Yuwentai on the fifth day of the new year, Ran Ying has never seen him, and he has not come to her. The two seemed to be tacitly estranged from each other because of something inexplicable.
Now hearing Su Sui say this, Ran Ying felt uneasy, but she didn't dare to ask.
Li Yu glanced at Ran Ying, and her face was a little unsightly.
At the palace banquet, the emperor was in high spirits and said, "Today, I want to announce something. ”
The officials below all put down the wine cups in their hands and turned their heads to look at the emperor, waiting for him to continue.
Only Yu Wentai's face was pale, and he still looked at the wine cup in his hand.
This matter is very important to the emperor, and this matter means that Yuwentai has given him a reassuring pill and let him know that he Yuwentai is still in the same boat with him.
He said: "Prime Minister Yuwen will marry Princess Gaoping in May. ”
For a moment, the hall was in a bustle. The sudden news surprised everyone. It seems that Yuwentai does not dare to blatantly stand on the opposite side of the emperor.
All the officials got up and raised their glasses to congratulate Yuwentai, and he also smiled and returned the salute one by one.
Yuwentai's backyard was finally led by the princess of the royal family as everyone expected, and everyone who was worried before finally put their minds at ease. At least, Yuwentai became the emperor's son-in-law and showed his loyalty to the emperor in his attitude.
After three rounds of drinking, Yuwentai was distraught and walked out of the hall alone.
Princess Gaoping knew that the emperor would announce her marriage to Yuwentai at the palace banquet of the Shangyuan Festival, and had sent a maid to wait outside, and when she saw him come out, she stepped forward and said that Princess Gaoping invited him to the imperial garden to enjoy the bright moon of Shangyuan.
The princess waits in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Yuwentai stepped on the moon alone, and saw the princess dressed up, dressed in luxurious purple clothes, combed three flying buns, and stood under the moon, like a fairy descending to earth.
When she saw him come as promised, the princess was overjoyed. This handsome Langjun is finally going to become her husband. What about the prime minister, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. No matter how powerful he is, he still doesn't want to obediently submit to the royal family and willingly be the royal family's concubine.
She curled her soft waist to meet her: "Yuwenlang." ”
Yu Wentai returned the salute absentmindedly: "Princess." ”
At this time, Yongxing's wish was fulfilled, and he was full of ambition, and reached out to grab Yuwentai's arm. Yu Wentai took a step back silently and said, "The banquet over there is not over yet, is there something wrong with the princess summoning her ministers?" ”
Yongxing covered his sleeves and smiled lightly, and said coquettishly: "Lang Jun just came, why did he think about leaving?" Isn't the moon and breeze here better than the noisy banquet hall? ”
Yu Wentai's face was expressionless, and his expression was cold: "It's a little cold in the imperial garden at this time, so the princess should go into the house." ”
Yongxing still chuckled charmingly, and said softly: "With Langjun by his side, Yongxing doesn't feel cold." We...... If it's about to be husband and wife, can't Lang Jun accompany me? ”
Yu Wentai was annoyed and said, "Does the princess know that there are some things that you can't force to come?" ”
