Chapter 72: Emperor Li gives marriage
"Okay, okay, it's just a dead palace maid, what's the fuss!"
Chu Aotian had a calm face, glared at Jingyi, and just wanted to speak, but he was suddenly interrupted by the queen when he didn't want to.
"Your Majesty."
I saw that the queen had a calm face, and suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Chu Aotian, and said in a low voice: "What happened in the harem is all caused by the lax discipline of the concubines!" The concubine was terrified...... It's just that this matter is confusing after all, and I ask the emperor to give the concubine more time, so that the concubine can find out about this matter, give the emperor an explanation, give an explanation to the subjects of the world, and give an explanation to the dead red maple! ”
Chu Aotian sighed in his heart, and also said in a low voice: "Queen, why is this ......?"
"Because the concubine believes that this matter must not be done by Jing Yuan!"
The queen suddenly raised her head and looked at Chu Aotian with a serious face: "Jing Yuan is the concubine's biological child, and the concubine naturally knows her heart!" Although Jing Yuan was reckless before, he was kind-hearted and never willing to hurt innocent people, even if he had that arrogant reputation, it was just someone who deliberately wanted to slander Jing Yuan! ”
"Hmph, it's clearly eccentric!"
Jingyi muttered in a low voice, her heart was full of unwillingness, but she didn't dare to interject indiscriminately at this time.
"The queen is also a motherly heart...... That's it, leave this matter to the queen's sole discretion! ”
Chu Aotian personally helped the queen up, and softly comforted her, but she didn't want Jingyi on the side to be even more crazy.
"Father!"
Jingyi knelt on the ground with a "plop", tears flowed from her eyes as soon as she "brushed", and choked up: "How can my father be so eccentric!" On weekdays, my father has always been kind to the palace people, so from top to bottom in our palace, the palace people are very compassionate...... Now that there is a death in the palace of the eldest sister, the father not only did not reprimand him, but softly relieved, Jingyi courageously, and dared to ask the father a word, if this goes on for a long time, everyone in the palace will learn the same, and the reputation of the father's self-denial and tolerance will still exist? Therefore, Jingyi is not convinced! ”
Chu Aotian frowned, but he didn't expect Jingyi to jump out again at this time.
But before Chu Aotian could say anything, he saw Jing Yuan take another step forward and kneel at Chu Aotian's feet.
"Father, mother, what Jingyi Imperial Sister said makes sense, that Hongfeng is the palace maid of my Limo Palace after all, no matter what, Jingyuan has the sin of not being strict under the rule, and he is willing to be punished! It's just that the matter of Jingyi's royal sister and Lord Tongning's late-night private meeting ......"
Jing Yuan dragged out the last note, only to see a flash of embarrassment on Ning Xiuhan's face, and then Jing Yuan continued: "This matter is definitely not Jing Yuan's doing, if the father wants to punish Jing Yuan with this, Jing Yuan will not accept it in his heart!" ”
"This ......"
If he was facing two princes, the punishment would have passed, but it was two soft and glutinous princesses, Chu Aotian suddenly felt a big head.
"Why don't you punish Jingyuan for being grounded in Limo Palace!"
Seeing this, the queen hurriedly came up with an idea: "Before the concubine finds out the reason for this matter, Jingyuan is forbidden to go out in Limo Palace, and everything will be decided after the matter is clear, I don't know what the emperor thinks?" ”
"Hmm."
Chu Aotian nodded hurriedly: "Then do what the queen wants!" ”
It's just that when he rolled his eyes, he saw Ning Xiuhan on the side again, and the anger in Chu Aotian's heart suddenly increased by three points.
"As for Ning Aiqing......"
Chu Aotian's eyes were slightly dark, and he hadn't thought about what to do with him, but he saw Jingyi kowtow to him again, and said loudly: "Father Emperor Rongyu, according to what Jingyi saw, Lord Ning is clearly innocent!" Please also ask my father to be gracious outside the law and spare Lord Ning! ”
Ning Xiuhan raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Jing Yi with some complicated looks, but he didn't expect that it had already reached this time, and Jing Yi was still willing to speak for herself, and her heart suddenly had mixed feelings.
"Jingyi, ......"
Chu Aotian glanced at Jingyi meaningfully, and said in a deep voice: "But you must know that if today's incident spreads, others will say that you Princess Jingyi does not abide by the discipline of the princess and has a private meeting with a foreign man, which is bad, but your reputation!" DID YOU KNOW! ”
Jing Yi gritted her teeth, and a sad wry smile appeared on her face: "Back to my father's words, Jing Yi knows...... It's just that Lord Ning has real talent and learning, and if he disposes of it, it will be a loss for my Li country! As long as you can retain useful talents for the Li Kingdom, father, let alone Jingyi's reputation, even if you want Jingyi's life, Jingyi will never give up! ”
After speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, Jingyi immediately knocked her head and said loudly: "Erchen begs his father to marry Erchen Tongning!" As long as there is a marriage from the father, tonight between the sons and the Lord Ning, it is just one more affair, and when others hear it, they will laugh at most, and they will not laugh at their father, let alone Li Guo......"
In the last sentence, what Jing Yi said was sincere, which made Chu Aotian quite moved.
"This ......"
Chu Aotian hesitated for a moment, glanced at Ning Xiuhan, and only felt some pity in his heart.
If there was no such thing as today, Ning Xiuhan would be more worthy of Jing Yuan than Luo Changan, but now that such a thing has happened, between Ning Xiuhan and Jing Yuan, I am afraid it is absolutely impossible.
"Since Princess Jingyi has opened her mouth, Your Majesty, you will be gracious!"
Suddenly, the queen opened her mouth coldly.
Jingyi was overjoyed in her heart, and regardless of the grievances she had just seen with the queen, she hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you to the queen mother!" ”
Seeing that the queen had already nodded, Chu Aotian had no choice but to sigh: "That's it, since you all say so, then I will fulfill you!" ”
After a pause, Chu Aotian moved his gaze to Ning Xiuhan's face: "Ning Aiqing, today I will make the decision and marry Princess Jingyi to you!" It's just that Princess Jingyi is still young, so she is not in a hurry to get married, you have to wait a few years...... The affairs on the side are handled by the Internal Affairs Office, and you don't have to take it to heart, but from now on, you should fulfill your duties and be loyal to the Li country, do you understand? ”
Ning Xiuhan closed his eyes and pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and knelt down in front of Chu Aotian again: "Minister, obey the order......"
The next day, the marriage between Princess Jingyi and Ning Xiuhan spread throughout the court and beyond.
Although the courtiers were a little surprised that Ning Xiuhan was not Princess Jingyuan's concubine, but thinking that he was the emperor's son-in-law after all, the ministers had nothing to say, only some well-informed, and vaguely heard the affair of "Lord Ning broke into the inner palace late at night, just to meet Princess Jingyi privately".
Others began to wonder if the emperor had already made up his mind and wanted Princess Jingyuan to marry Xiyue or Daxuan - otherwise, Princess Jingyuan was older, why was it not Princess Jingyuan's marriage that was decided first.
However, this is all a matter of later words, and both inside and outside the court are happy, only the Huayang Palace in the inner palace, and the porcelain in the palace has been changed several times.
"Niangniang, you must dissipate your anger, if you are angry, won't the emperor and Princess Jingyi be distressed......"
Xichun was guarding against the porcelain that would fall out at an uncertain time, and persuaded hard: "Besides, Lord Ning is also a young talent, I heard that many adults in the court want to marry their daughters to Lord Ning, and it is not ...... for our princess to marry."
"Bang!"
Before Xichun finished speaking, another porcelain bottle nearly three feet high fell out, fortunately Xichun was flexible, otherwise such a big object fell on the body, and the head would have broken and bled out.
"It's just a girl who can't be on the stage in the group, and she can be compared to Jingyi in this palace?!"
Through the screen, Concubine Rou kept scolding: "One by one, the black-hearted prostitutes have harmed my Jingyi's life, I, even if I fight to death, I have to go to the emperor to ask for an explanation!" are all the emperor's daughters, why is the emperor so favoritism! ”
"The black-hearted prostitute" is naturally not Xichun and others, who are enough to be abused by Concubine Rou like this, except for the queen and Princess Jingyuan, there is no one else.
Although I don't know where Concubine Rou heard these foul words, just this one title is enough to make Xichun's heart tremble, and she can't help but complain bitterly outside: "Niangniang is angry, Niangniang is angry!" This marriage was decreed by the emperor himself, and now our Huayang Palace is so dissatisfied, if the emperor knows about it, I am afraid that the emperor will be furious, Niangniang......"
As soon as these words came out, the room was quiet for a while, and Xichun was hesitating in her heart, not wanting to take a breath, when suddenly Concubine Rou opened the door and broke out with a cloak.
"Hmph, okay, it just so happens that this palace is going to ask the emperor, Jingyi is the daughter of this palace after all, Jingyi's marriage, this palace has the right to execute!"
Concubine Rou shouted screaming, regardless of her manners, she was going to Long'an Hall to find Chu Aotian to ask for an explanation.
"Yo, Sister Rou, this Huayang Palace is very lively!"
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed from the gate of the palace, and everyone raised their eyes to see, it turned out to be none other than the lord of the Cloud Palace, Concubine Jianiang.
Concubine Rou snorted coldly, glanced at Concubine Jia, although she didn't speak, she didn't continue to make trouble to go to the Long An Palace.
"Oh, you girls, if it's cold today, your master wants to go out for a walk, so I can prepare a cloak for your master, in case it freezes, won't the emperor feel distressed?"
Concubine Jia chuckled, gave Xichun a look, and then personally took Concubine Rou's arm, and took Concubine Rou into the house without saying anything, muttering in a low voice as she walked: "Sister Concubine Rou, you must know that 'the wall has ears', you are so noisy, I just happened to be bumped into today, if you are bumped into by others, I may not know how to arrange you!" ”
"I'm afraid of her?!"
Concubine Rou was full of resentment, frowned between her eyebrows, and was about to scream, but Concubine Jia stretched out her index finger and gently gagged her mouth: "Shh...... I know what my sister is thinking, isn't this what I'm here to analyze for my sister today? If you think what I said is reasonable, then I have solved the problem for you, if you think what I said is unreasonable, it is not too late for you to find the emperor's theory...... Why bother to pass this word to others? ”
