Chapter 22: Xie Jing's Arrangement
After Chen Feng went home, Chen Yanzhi was reading a book. Chen Feng took a sip of tea and said, "The marriage contract with the Chu family has finally been dissolved. ”
Chen Yanzhi put down the book and said, "That's not good, your long-standing wish has finally come true." Chen Yanzhi has always felt that Chen Feng is a little annoying, and he chatters all day long.
Chen Feng listened to Chen Yanzhi's tone, but he was a little cynical, and angrily put the marriage book in front of him and said, "Who am I doing this for." ”
Chen Yanzhi said: "You are doing this for me, no, you are all for the Chen family." ”
Chen Feng snorted: "It's good if you know, I went to be a wicked person, and you are still not satisfied." ”
Chen Yanzhi asked, "Don't the Chu family agree?" ”
Chen Feng said: "I didn't see Chu Li, Chu Zhi quickly agreed, and he also said that he himself did not agree to this marriage, and he was also interested in it, which saved me a lot of trouble." ”
Chen Yanzhi put down the book and said, "Since you say so, you don't think about it." ”
Chen Feng said: "It's good if you know, I'm not all for you to be a wicked person. Chen Feng couldn't stop after speaking, and he took the trouble to say how much he had worked hard for Chen Yanzhi over the years and how much he had suffered.
Chen Yanzhi is used to it, his left ear goes in, and his right ear goes out.
It didn't take long for the dissolution of the marriage contract between Chu Liang and Chen Yan to reach Xie Jing's ears, and Xie Jing said to Zhan He: "The Chen family is really a little visionless. ”
Zhan He said: "The marriage contract is such a thing, and you still have to be willing by both parties. ”
Xie Jing thought for a while and said: "Lao Qi has also reached the age of marriage, and he is still not satisfied with the person Ping'er arranged for him last time, you say that it is okay for me to give Chu Liang to him." ”
Zhan He said: "Your Majesty may wish to ask the opinions of the Seventh Prince and the Imperial Concubine." ”
Xie Jing said: "Then I will call Xie Shaoqing over this afternoon." Xie Jing casually took a painting and handed it to Zhan He.
Zhan He opened it and saw that the person in the painting was Chu Li. Zhan He asked, "How can Your Majesty have a portrait of Miss Chu?" ”
Xie Jing replied: "I heard that the Chen family intends to withdraw from the marriage, so I asked the painter to draw a picture, ready to show it to my princes, and I also specially told the painter to make the painting look better, and I can't help but not agree." ”
Zhan He asked cautiously: "Miss Chu is just the daughter of a businessman, is it a bit wrong with the Seventh Prince?" ”
Xie Jing put the painting away and said, "What's this, the rules are dead, not to mention that if you don't let Miss Chu be the queen, those old guys won't object." ”
Zhan He saw that Xie Jing looked confident, but it was difficult to persuade him.
When Xie Shaoqing entered the palace, Xie Jing was in Concubine Zhang's palace. Xie Shaoqing gave Xie Jing and Zhang Guifei a greeting. Zhang Guifei was still angry because Xie Shaoqing didn't listen to the arrangement last time, and she didn't look at Xie Shaoqing much.
When Xie Jing and Zhang Guifei discussed Xie Shaoqing's marriage, Zhang Guifei was actually not very satisfied with Chu Liang, Chu Liang was from an average background and was not too good-looking.
But Xie Shaoqing did not accept the candidate arranged for him by Zhang Guifei, and Zhang Guifei had no choice but to take him. She didn't have hope for the person Xie Jing arranged for Xie Shaoqing, not to mention that Xie Jing rarely rushed to her with interest, and she didn't want to ruin Xie Jing's interest.
Xie Jing said: "Today is for my father to call you over, and my father has arranged a good family affair for you. After speaking, a palace maid next to her handed the portrait to Xie Shaoqing.
As soon as Xie Shaoqing heard that Xie Jing had arranged a marriage for him, his head hurt a little, and when he was about to find an excuse to refuse, he opened the portrait, and the person in the painting was Chu Li, Xie Shaoqing was stunned for a moment.
Xie Jing saw Xie Shaoqing's distraction, and guessed that Xie Shaoqing probably agreed, and he asked, "How is it, are you satisfied?" ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "The child has been thinking since he left the palace last time, but the marriage is a major matter but the parents are in charge. ”
Zhang Guifei snorted, and thought in her heart: "I didn't agree last time, I couldn't ask anything after asking for a long time, and I thought about it for a few days, and let my parents call the shots." ”
Xie Jing got up from the chair and said, "Since you have agreed now, you can't go back on it in the future, in a few days, I will send someone to the Chu family to give marriage, and then ask the master to calculate your birthday, so as to arrange the wedding date." ”
Zhang Guifei then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, is this a little too anxious. ”
Xie Jing said: "I have already married at Shaoqing's age, and I have children. ”
Zhang Guifei complained: "Last time, Your Majesty also said that Shaoqing is not very old, so there is no need to worry. Every time I arrange for him, he always has all kinds of excuses, otherwise I would have grandchildren. ”
Xie Jing smiled: "Isn't the granddaughter very good." ”
They say a word from you, and I say a word. Xie Shaoqing originally planned to find Xie Jing to marry him in a few days, but he didn't expect that something would go wrong, so Xie Jing came over and asked him if he agreed.
Xie Shaoqing is only afraid that Chu Liang is unwilling now, Chu Liang doesn't seem to like him very much, Xie Shaoqing recalled the bits and pieces of his encounter with her, he thought: "Is it too active in Chu Lan's house to make her angry, after all, she was sad at the time." ”
Seeing that Xie Shaoqing was distracted, Zhang Guifei went over and poked his forehead and said, "What are you thinking?" ”
Xie Jing said on the side: "I was probably happy to hear the good news today." ”
Xie Shaoqing came back to his senses and said, "I didn't think about anything. ”
Zhang Guifei said angrily: "Didn't think about anything? What do you have to hide from me. ”
Xie Shaoqing said hesitantly: "Don't hide it from my mother, I'm afraid that other girls won't want to." ”
Zhang Guifei asked rhetorically: "How many people with ordinary births can't marry you, what is she unwilling." ”
Xie Jing said without concealment: "Why did you talk about your life again, were you born noble when you entered the palace?" I won't be a concubine today. ”
Zhang Guifei was bullied in the palace in her early years because she was born ordinarily, and when she became a concubine, someone pointed at her behind her back, saying that she seduced the emperor, and that she was born Zhang Guifei's heart disease.
Xie Jing just said something unintentionally, and when he saw Zhang Guifei crying, he glanced around and said, "Today's matter is not allowed to be discussed everywhere, let me know that I will be severely punished." ”
The palace maids and eunuchs didn't dare, and Xie Jing said, "All retreat." Everyone retreated softly outside the palace.
Xie Jing took Zhang Guifei's arm and comforted: "You know that I didn't mean it, so don't be angry with me." ”
Zhang Guifei pushed him, and Xie Shaoqing also comforted his mother softly on the side.
Xie Jing's good words kept coming, Zhang Guifei turned around, and Xie Shaoqing went out and told the palace maid to bring in a basin of hot water.
Zhang Guifei washed her face and put on makeup in the mirror again, she stared at herself in the mirror as if she was a few years older, although it was inevitable that her face would get old, Zhang Guifei was often worried that Xie Jing would get bored with her, she was not like other concubines, there were more or less officials in the family.
Zhang Guifei only has a child like Xie Shaoqing, so she takes Xie Shaoqing very seriously, and often feels uneasy because Xie Shaoqing does not listen to her.
