Chapter Eighty-Seven: Knowing the Truth
It's just that Xu Wangye thought that he could take a good rest, but God didn't want to, so he just watched Xu Wangye relax here.
Just as Xu Wangye had just taken a few sips of tea, and before he had time to take a few more breaths, there was already a knock on the door outside.
Even if Xu Wangye was extremely tired now, he cheered up and shouted outside: "Come in and talk." ”
"Squeak", the door was pushed open, and it was a little maid who came in, after she came in, she lowered her head and said to Prince Xu: "Back to the prince, it's time for dinner, the princess wants the slave to come over and invite the prince to come over for dinner." ”
Xu Wangye nodded expressionlessly and said, "Got it, I'll go over now." ”
When the slave heard this, she obediently pushed it out, and Prince Xu sat in front of the desk for a while, and finally stood up, took the birthday eight characters that Ji Chen had just given him in his hand, sighed, and went to the restaurant.
When I arrived at the restaurant, there were already all the people, just waiting for Xu Wangye to be alone, Xu Wangye saw this scene, extended his unconsciously glanced at Xu Lan, and saw Xu Lan coming, sitting there with a faint expression, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart for a while.
It's just that things have come to this point, and when you go out, you can't regret it anymore, Xu Wangye sighed in his heart, and then walked to the main seat of the table and sat down, waved his big hand, and began to eat.
Xu Wangfu pays attention to food and sleep, so the whole restaurant is very quiet, and there are not so many twists and turns.
Because of the habit of quiet dining, the dining time of King Xu's Mansion is not too long.
Because of the things in his letter, Xu Wangye was not very attentive when eating, and seeing that everyone was basically full, Xu Wangye put down the tableware in his hand.
Because Prince Xu is the head of the family in the end, as long as Prince Xu puts down the tableware, all the people in the entire palace will stop eating, and look at Prince Xu with inquiring eyes.
Prince Xu slowly cleaned his hands and mouth, and then said slowly: "I have something to say today. ”
When he said this, Xu Wangye's eyes swept over Xu Lan and Xu Xin, and his expression was very meaningful.
As soon as she saw this look, Xu Lan's psychological face jumped, and a great sense of insecurity surged in her heart.
Sure enough, as expected, Xu Wangye continued: "It's a big deal, although it was a bit hasty, but it was also a good thing, so I made my own decisions and decided on this matter, today, I just want to tell you." ”
Xu Wang Ye continued: "Xu Lan and Xu Xin have grown up, Xu Xin has already passed the ceremony, Xu Lan is also about to happen, next month, right?" ”
When Princess Xu heard Prince Xu talk about Xu Lan and Xu Xin's body, her face was not very good, and when she heard Lord Xu say this, she could only answer: "Yes, Lan'er will pay a salute next month." ”
When Prince Xu heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, the four princes came to visit today, do you know what's going on?" ”
Hearing this, Princess Xu glanced at Prince Xu, then looked at her two girls who were like flowers and jade, nodded and said, "Knowing about the visit of the fourth prince, is it ......?"
Prince Xu nodded and said, "Indeed, that's right, the fourth prince came to propose marriage today, and I have already agreed." ”
As soon as this sentence was spoken, the faces of the people in the entire restaurant changed greatly, Princess Xu was surprised, Xu Xin was at a loss, and Xu Lan was pale.
"The prince has already agreed? How can it be so sloppy? This...... This is just the first time to come to the door! Princess Xu was already very anxious, and even stammered a little when she spoke, and said in a panic.
"How could it be the first time? I have already come to the door to propose marriage before, and this time is the second time, besides," Xu Wang Ye slowly took a sip of tea and said lightly: "What kind of character is the fourth prince?" Let's not say that it is the authentic prince, and now that the crown prince has fallen, the fourth prince is the most powerful contender for the throne, she is willing to marry the girl of our family, it is already love, if I refuse, it is not good to know what to do, and attract people's jealousy! ”
Prince Xu's words shocked Princess Xu to the point that she couldn't say a word, and after a long time, Princess Xu said weakly: "That...... The prince, did you marry that daughter to the four princes? ”
Hearing Princess Xu's words, Xu Lan hurriedly raised her head and looked at Prince Xu with an anxious expression, just hoping that that person would never be herself.
It's a pity that Xu Lan's wish is destined to be frustrated, I saw that Xu Wangye frowned and said: "How can this be my final say, the identity of the four princes, where there are we, we pick and choose, naturally the fourth prince has the final say, the fourth prince has fallen in love with the second girl, and naturally the second girl is married to the fourth prince." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Xu Lan just couldn't support it anymore, his face was no longer pale, but pale.
And the entire Xu Wangfu was looking at Xu Lan, Xu Wangye's eyes were unfathomable, Princess Xu's initial worry, and Xu Xin's eyes were extremely complicated.
Xu Wangye looked at the concubine in front of him, and he couldn't speak for a while, between the two of them, there was no father-daughter relationship for a long time, and at this point, it was just a matter of using a deception.
Right now, this daughter of his own is getting married, and he really doesn't need his own blessing, nor his own curse, he has become a chess piece of his own, how much affection does he need for a chess piece?
Thinking of this, Prince Xu didn't say anything else, just glanced at him, and then said to Princess Xu: "The matter has basically been decided, maybe the emperor's decree will come down tomorrow, prepare as soon as possible, another three months is a good day, just after Xu Lan passed the ceremony, although the time is not urgent, but it will pass quickly, I usually have a lot of things, Xu Lan is what you have been teaching, all the things, just leave it to you to deal with." ”
"But, the prince...... It'......s just that Princess Xu's words haven't been finished yet, and Prince Xu has already stood up and said to Princess Xu: "Okay, the matter has been decided, there is no room to return, just watch it." ”
After saying this, Xu Wang Ye ignored the eyes of the entire restaurant, and walked out directly and returned to his study.
After Prince Xu left, the entire restaurant just gave birth to Princess Xu, as well as Xu Lan and Xu Xin.
Because of this incident, it was too hasty and too shocking, and the three of them had nothing to say for a while.
Xu Lan was still in shock, Xu Xin was because it was a daughter's family, so she didn't say much, and at the end, it was Princess Xu who sighed first and said, "Okay, okay, let's go back and rest, take these meals down, Xin'er, you go back to your room to rest first, Lan'er, you stay." ”
Xu Xin talked about this ending at the beginning, stood up obediently, walked to her mother, and retreated obediently.
After Xu Xin left, the whole restaurant was even quieter, Princess Xu glanced at it and was still shocked, and the two pale Xu Lan could only sigh in their hearts, and said to Xu Lan: "Lan'er, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Xu Lan was ignorant, and when she heard her mother's voice, she raised her head blankly, looked at her mother, and after a long time, she found her voice: "Mother, can this family matter really not be changed?" ”
After Princess Xu heard this, she sighed and said to Xu Lan: "What a stupid girl, Chrysostom Yuyan, your father is a prince face to face and a promising prince, how can you change this matter casually?" ”
Xu Lan felt that his heart was even more bitter, he grabbed Princess Xu's hand tightly and said, "No, mother, it will definitely be changed, Ji Chen...... No...... The fourth prince will definitely be good at talking, and he will definitely be able to push away this family matter! ”
After Princess Xu heard this, she did frown and said: "What are these words, the fourth prince is a prince anyway, how can he casually retract what he said!" But you, Lan'er, don't you like this family business? ”
When Xu Lan heard Princess Xu ask like this, she couldn't speak for a while, so she could only be speechless.
Princess Xu glanced at her daughter, sighed, and said: "Mother is also old, I don't know what you children think about every day, but, Lan'er, what Mother wants to tell you is that you are not only a daughter's family, you are also a daughter of the palace, your marriage is doomed from the beginning, and you can't let you come according to your own heart, although Mother doesn't know why, you will not be satisfied with this family matter, but what Mother can tell you is that this matter has been decided, It is absolutely impossible to change, the only thing you can do now is to change your mentality, and when the time comes, happily marry the past. ”
This is also why Princess Xu left Xu Lan, even if he chained his daughter in his heart, he was powerless, although she said that she was a princess, but, in this Xu Wangfu, it was Prince Xu who had the final say, he saw that his daughter was unhappy and unwilling, but he could only leave him behind, okay and appeased.
Xu Lan actually didn't know in her heart? But just because I know it, I will feel more sad and sad.
