164 monogamy
Fee Chapter (24 points)
After waiting for so many days, Xia Dongqing, who had lived like a year, finally waited for the emperor's summons. Seeing this, he quickly entered the palace without saying a word, and he also knew very well in his heart that this time he would face the same choice as the saint. But for the sake of her daughter, no matter what, she has no hesitation.
Outside the Yanyun Palace, it was extremely quiet at the moment, and the minions waiting outside were all cautious. Since the general Wang Xia Dongqing entered, except for the chief eunuch next to the emperor, the other servants have been driven out, and for half an hour, no one has ever come out.
A few people listened with their ears pricked up, but they didn't notice anything abnormal, and it seemed to be calm inside, without imaginary waves. After about half an hour, the door finally opened, and the eunuch, who was in his fifties, walked out of it.
He quickly whispered a few words in the ear of the little eunuch waiting at the door, and then the little eunuch immediately nodded, and quickly ran away with a look of understanding.
After a while, the little eunuch was gone, and there was a little more in his hand, but it was wrapped in brocade cloth, and it was impossible to tell what it was. After the chief eunuch took it, he didn't check it, and directly took it into the Yanyun Palace, and then the door was closed again, and there were some ghosts inside.
Of course, no one dares to ask more, unless they don't want to have their own heads. And at this time, at the turn outside the palace, a little eunuch looked in the corner in the direction of the entrance of Yanyun Hall for a long time, and finally quickly disappeared, as if he was secretly checking and probing. The little eunuch was so familiar with the terrain that no one noticed his presence until he disappeared and a team of patrolling guards passed by.
However, no one cares about such a little person, and the focus of attention of all the people in the palace and outside the palace seems to have been placed on Xia Yuhua, Xia Dongqing, and the entire Xia family. The gambling tables outside are getting bigger and bigger, and what people care about is not the fate of the Xia family's father and daughter, but the gambling money they put down. Everyone in this world is like this, as long as it is not, it is just a game for most people.
After another three quarters of an hour, Xia Dongqing finally walked out of the Yanyun Palace. At that moment, his whole person seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, but he still had a firm gaze and a calm step. A person who is not even afraid of going to the battlefield can be easily defeated?
"General Xia, did the servants send you out of the palace? There are not many words" The chief eunuch smiled and was ready to help Xia Dongqing, although this seems to be fine, but it is estimated that it will not be better in my heart.
Xia Dongqing waved his hand, and did not receive the love of the chief eunuch, and now he is not old enough to ask for help, let alone this smiling tiger to pretend to be a good person."
Seeing this, the chief eunuch didn't care, nodded and comforted General Dao Xia, there is a sentence that may not sound good for a slave to say, but it is also good for you. You, you just spoil Xia too much, this price is really too big for the ages, whose children's marriages are not all adults? What's more, being able to get married by the Holy Finger is a great kindness, and no matter how many people grab their heads, they can't think of it. Today, you will take all the sins on your body in front of the emperor, slave, you are the protector of the daughter, but you always let her come like this, even if the emperor can really be extra gracious this time, but at most he can only save her for a while. With her temperament, she may have to cause even more trouble in the future, can you still protect her for the rest of her life?
Speaking of which, the chief eunuch is still a person with a little conscience, and he has been by the emperor's side for so many years, but he can't understand it? Seeing that this General Xia is also a man after all, he couldn't help but say a few more words, he understands the emperor's thoughts, so it's not good to say much else, and he wants to feel at ease after two sentences of persuasion, but it's not his business to listen or not.
Hearing this, Xia Dongqing's expression softened a little, the chief eunuch had no malicious intent, so he sighed and said, alas, I owe this daughter too much, and now that she has encountered such a thing, I, as a father, don't help her, who else can really help her? Father-in-law, can you be accommodating in front of the palace and arrange for me to meet my little girl? β
"I'm afraid it won't work." The chief eunuch looked in the direction of the head with an embarrassed face, and then made a gesture, walked a little farther away, and said You also heard what the emperor said just now, so you can wait with peace of mind. According to the minion, although the emperor did not agree to you, he did not deny it, and it is estimated that the emperor wants to consider your suggestion again. As for not suffering in the palace, there are people to take care of you every day, you can rest assured. As soon as there is any news in the palace, the minions will notify you immediately, okay, don't skip words.
Seeing this, Xia Dongqing didn't want to say more, originally he would also want to see people It was not easy, but he had the mentality of giving it a try, since people had said everything about this, then what else did he have to say?
That's it, he's better wait first. The affairs of the house also have to start to prepare, so as not to be caught off guard. What he said today, the emperor may not agree? It's nothing more than making a show and dragging him down, so that the world will know that this is not a holy thing.
Looking at the figure of Xia Dongqing leaving, the chief eunuch couldn't help but shake his head. He has never looked away from people with these eyes, and he is obviously a generation of loyal ministers and good generals, but he was forced to look like this. However, after all, he is just a minion, and he can't manage many things, so he can only ask for more blessings.
Not long after Xia Dongqing left the palace, the emperor said to the chief eunuch who was waiting on the side while criticizing the music, and said Just now outside, you muttered something to him? β
Hearing the emperor's question, the chief eunuch couldn't help but glance at the eunuch standing down, and secretly said that the mouthy miscellaneous crumbs chewed his tongue with the emperor while he was not paying attention, and for a while, in private, to see that he couldn't pull out the small miscellaneous stones
"Back to the emperor, can the slave still tell General Xia, is it nothing more than his precious daughter. The slave dared to say a few words for the emperor, but he really couldn't see the dignified general Wang teaching a daughter to look like this, and he didn't even have the minimum rules. Also, General Xia wanted to meet his daughter, but the slave naturally didn't agree, isn't it good to say too ugly, after all, he still has to be appeased. β
He didn't panic, and said calmly, the emperor could ask him like this, which was enough to show that he still trusted him more, but the new little slippery head was too naΓ―ve. I want to take his place, hmph, it's still far away
Hearing the words of the chief eunuch, the emperor didn't ask any more questions, just raised his eyes and glanced at him slightly, and then continued the work in hand. The king of a country has a lot of things at hand, and naturally it is impossible to spend too much effort for two minions.
Seeing this, the chief eunuch glanced at the little eunuch who looked slightly flustered on the side, as if intentionally or unintentionally, but the warning in his eyes was self-evident.
About half an hour later, the emperor finally put down the pen in his hand, got up and moved slightly, and then instructed the chief eunuch that I am a little tired, rest for a while, you go and arrange it, and after half an hour, take Xia Yuhua to see me. β
This will almost be time to meet the different Xia family girl. Such a good show can be staged, without this girl, it is really impossible to have such a good effect. He smiled with satisfaction, after so many days, the girl was still calm and comfortable, it was really not easy
When the chief eunuch heard this, he hurriedly received the order. Seeing that the emperor finally wants to see the party who resists the decree and refuses to marry, it seems that this matter is almost coming to an end.
He soon took people to the Internal Affairs Mansion, and now that Naxia is still being detained and guarded there, before facing the saint, he naturally has to go and explain it first, so as not to make the emperor angry by doing earth-shattering things at that time.
When he got there, Xia was as calm and calm as someone told him, he didn't look like he was being imprisoned at all, and he didn't lose half of his mind by such a quiet place, but he was as leisurely as if he was in his own boudoir.
I secretly praised it in my heart, and it was really outstanding, and this determination and will were not like ordinary people, no wonder I had that kind of courage to resist the will.
"Xia, the slave is the chief eunuch next to the emperor, according to the emperor's instructions, I will take you to face the saint in half an hour." He was not as snobbish as the eunuch who announced the decree last time, he smiled and bowed, and said kindly, please take a bath and change clothes first, so that he can prepare. β
"There is Father-in-law." Xia Yuhua nodded slightly, and signaled, the so-called people respect her a foot, she respects people, and politely told her, she is naturally the same.
Seeing this, the chief eunuch asked the maid who came with him to bring in the prepared hot water and clothes, and asked Xia Yuhua after the preparations, and saw that he didn't need anyone to help him shower, so he took everyone out first and waited outside.
It was still full, Xia Yuhua took a comfortable bath, thinking that the emperor was finally going to summon her, and it seemed that the matter should be almost resolved finally.
She has been locked up here these days, and nothing has happened outside, but she knows in her heart that her father must have put in a lot of effort for the sake of it. After meeting with the saint, no matter what the outcome is, she will not let the matter implicate her father anyway, and she is willing to bear all the crimes alone.
After washing, she changed into the clean clothes that those people had brought in, and another palace man came in to comb her hair according to the etiquette of the audience, and when everything was ready, the chief eunuch walked in again.
Seeing that Xia Yuhua had a plain face and no makeup, he couldn't help but say Xia, and there are some, do you want to ask the palace maid to put some makeup on you, after all, it is a face saint. β
"Thank you father-in-law for your kindness, but that's it." Xia Yuhua glanced at the one in the mirror, then raised his eyes and said to the chief eunuch that the courtiers were guilty, so it would be clean. β
Hearing Xia Yuhua's words, the chief eunuch also felt that this identity was always special, so he almost forgot about it just now. Goodbye, Xia Yuhua is refreshing, elegant and bright, but he also feels that this kind of clean temperament is extremely rare, but it makes people feel bright.
"Now that you're ready, let the minions follow." He smiled, but subconsciously he really didn't look at the woman in front of him as a guilty person. It didn't matter, and he couldn't help but feel respectful, which somewhat surprised him.
didn't think too much, Xia Yuhua had already stood up in response and went straight to the door, the chief eunuch saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way, and the group rushed to the gate of Yanyun Hall at the time ordered by the emperor.
"Xia, you wait outside for a while, and the minions will go in first to report." After explaining to Xia Yuhua a little, the chief eunuch went in first. This will be kung fu, and the emperor will not wake up.
Xia Yuhua waited outside for about two quarters of an hour before he saw the chief eunuch come out and say that he could go in.
After entering, Xia Yuhua met the emperor of the dynasty again, the last time he saw him was not the Hundred Flowers Banquet two years ago, but only two years of hard work, this emperor is a lot older than before, there is a large white patch between the temples, it seems that there must be a lot of hard work. The only thing that hasn't changed is the round figure, which looks like he rarely exercises on weekdays.
All of this was just a glance, Xia Yuhua didn't look at it any longer, and after standing in the seat where he should stay, he made a big salute. Although deep in her heart, she has always had no good impression of this emperor who holds the power of life and death but is too narrow-minded, but the courtesy of the monarch and the minister has to be worshipped.
She rarely makes such a big gift on weekdays, but it will not affect the norms of her movements at all, from beginning to end, she will not let anyone pick out the slightest hint of wrong, dignified and calm, and now this kind of temperament is becoming more and more rich in her.
Seeing Xia Yuhua at this moment, the emperor quickly found the memory of only one side two years ago, not to mention anything else, but this aura alone is as good as before. At that time, he was surprised that Xia Dongqing could still train such a daughter, and now, he had to sigh that this woman really had the capital to be dissatisfied with this marriage.
He didn't let Xia Yuhua calm down immediately, looking at the woman in front of him who was kneeling but still not humble or arrogant, and was as elegant as before, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Xia Yuhua, are you guilty?" Frowning slightly, he finally spoke, with a deliberate majesty in his voice, although he knew that such majesty in front of this woman would not scare her at all, but his first reaction was to do so.
Hearing this question, Xia Yuhua only raised his eyes slightly, then looked at the front and back, and calmly replied to ask the emperor to calm his anger, the reason why the courtiers resisted the decree and refused to marry was just because they did not want to marry the prince, and there was no disrespect to the emperor. And what the courtiers do is only the will of the courtiers, and it has nothing to do with anyone else, no matter how the emperor punishes, the courtiers are willing to bear it. β
"One to bear? It's still too young. The emperor couldn't help laughing dryly, and said in a serious voice, Do you know what kind of crime it is to resist the decree? It's up to you, can you afford not to skip words.
"If you can't afford it, you have to bear it, one person does things and one person is responsible, the courtiers and the emperor are sacred, and they will not implicate other innocent people for no reason, as for the courtiers, even if they apologize for their crimes with death, they have no regrets and no regrets, in order to ask the emperor for forgiveness." Xia Yuhua directly said the worst plan. The left and right are nothing more than death, but there is nothing to be afraid of at this point.
Hearing Xia Yuhua's words, the emperor quickly understood this woman's thoughts, and he said indifferently You will, is it because I am afraid that I will blame your father because of this, right? There are not many words, although this matter seems to have nothing to do with your father, but no matter how much he can't get rid of the crime of lax discipline. What's more, you can't protect yourself now, where is the right to clear your father's guilt? β
Xia Yuhua smiled slightly, as if he had expected the emperor to say this, so he didn't think much about it, and replied directly that the emperor is a holy monarch, and the courtiers have confidence in you. The courtiers, no matter what ruling the emperor makes this time, must be the most just, not only the courtiers are convinced, but also thousands of subjects will be extremely submissive. β
After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but look at Xia Yuhua even more carefully. Although it is an extremely simple few words, this woman's words and deeds not only make him unable to find the slightest point, but also very useful, and there is no hint of deliberate flattery. Seeing all this, it is really difficult for him to say that this woman is only seventeen years old.
"Calm down, get up and talk." After a while, he raised his hand and let Xia Yuhua calm down, such a woman, there is no need to deliberately embarrass at this moment.
"Emperor Xie" Xia Yuhua stood up after thanking her, compared to two years ago, she has grown a lot taller, standing there, tall and soft, slim, that is, with the demeanor of a girl, and there is no lack of dignified and calm mature temperament.
The emperor didn't ask anything else, and directly asked the doubts in his heart I heard, two years ago, you were still very fond of the son of Prince Duan's family, and swore that he would not marry, why did you suddenly change your original intention later? So much so that now, I have personally decreed to marry you, but I am unwilling to accept it, and I would rather resist the decree than marry him? β
Hearing the emperor ask about the specific reason why she didn't want to marry Zheng Shi'an and resisted the decree, Xia Yuhua paused slightly, she couldn't tell anyone the real reason, not to mention that the person in front of her was not someone she trusted. But she couldn't help but answer, and the answer had to be able to speak. Although she didn't expect the emperor to be extra gracious because of her explanation.
"The courtiers don't know how to answer your words, but the courtiers don't want to marry someone they don't like. I used to like it, but now I really don't like it. What's more, the courtier's daughter remembered that she once said to someone that in this life, the courtier's daughter does not seek wealth or honor, but only seeks to be a one-hearted person and live an ordinary life of monogamy. The prince is not my single-minded person, and it is impossible for me to stay with my monogamy, and the courtiers may be a little selfish, but no matter what the situation is, they will never change their insistence. β
She said such things to an emperor of three palaces and six courts, which did mean Niu Tanqin, but this was the maximum she could explain now. She didn't need to be understood by the person in front of her, but she had to take a position, a position that was ridiculous in the eyes of the world, but incomparably firm in her heart.
And after hearing what she said, the emperor was really surprised, and after a while, he said funny that you don't like the prince, which I can barely understand, but you said that you are not allowed to take concubines in the future, and you can only live with you as a monogamous wife, isn't it ridiculous? No less words"
"What the emperor said is naturally reasonable, but the courtiers did not require all couples in this world to be like this, nor did they force anyone to marry me like this. This kind of thing has to be done by you and me, and there will be no result. Xia Yuhua didn't care about the mocking laughter, and continued to say What's more, there are many such examples in the world, and the courtiers would rather be ridiculous than go against their will.
"What if you can't find such a person in your life who is willing to spend time with you as a monogamous partner?" The emperor was interested, and felt that the woman in front of him was really interesting.
"Then the courtier will never marry." Xia Yuhua replied very firmly, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation.
"And what if such a person marries you, and it doesn't take long for him to regret it?" The emperor asked again, staring at Xia Yuhua with a different expression.
And this time, Xia Yuhua replied without hesitation, just like just now, that the courtier would divorce him, and would rather die alone. β
The loud and firm reply resounded in the Yanyun Palace, and such a spirit made the emperor stunned. This kung fu, he had to admit that the woman in front of him did have such courage.
"In this way, you will not change your original intention no matter what, and this purpose is also resisted to the end?" The emperor was already frowning at this moment, and he already knew the answer to this question in his heart, but he couldn't help but repeat it again.
"Please forgive the emperor, the courtiers have no way to accept this decree." Xia Yuhua bowed her head slightly, in order to show her guilt, when it comes to this, I think the emperor will not talk to her anymore The courtiers know that the crime of resisting the decree is serious, and one person does the work of the other, and the courtiers are willing to accept any punishment, but the emperor will dispose of it. β
"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs, and this stubbornness on his body is very similar to your father" The emperor snorted coldly, and said with an expressionless face Although I have the heart to forgive you once, but you are helpless, and you disdain the holy will of the Son of Heaven, which is really disrespectful. For the sake of the right dynasty, clear reason, and virtue, I have to be severely punished and not slackened, so as to correct the hearing and hearing" (to be continued.)
