Chapter 492: Forced Marriage
Peng Ji didn't speak, nor did she call Peng Lan to get up, and stared at her silently for a while before saying, "Believe you?" You should have said let me believe him. ”
Peng Lan immediately put her head on the ground: "Father, Lan'er has no intention of deceiving, but this is an opportunity to send it to the door, if you don't seize it, I am afraid that you will miss it......"
Peng Yu's fingers tapped twice on the table, and Peng Lan immediately shut up and didn't dare to say another word.
Peng Yu stared at Peng Lan, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice, "You...... Don't regret it? ”
Peng Lan prostrate and replied seriously: "No regrets." ”
"A dignified lady with golden branches, succumbing to humility, not loving and regretting the rest of her life?"
Peng Lan looked up at Peng Yu at this time, and a tear slipped from her eyes: "For the glory of my Peng family, I will never regret it." ”
She is proud, she can't lose, maybe she will have a better choice to take a step back, but that's impossible! She has been standing on a high place, she doesn't have the courage and doesn't want to let herself fall! For this, even if she has no love for the rest of her life, she is willing!
Peng Ji looked at her daughter and sighed: "You can take a step back and tell the world before you get married." ”
"No!" Peng Lan bit her lip and shook her head vigorously: "Only a foregone conclusion can there be no regrets." ”
The words were so clear and so categorical, Peng Yu's eyes burst out with sharpness and excitement: "Good, good!" Worthy of being my daughter! If you dare to give up, your father and I will let you have something! Get up! ”
Peng Lan got up, and Peng Yu pointed to the hanging scroll: "Take a closer look." ”
Peng Lan glanced at the hanging painting: "Lan'er has seen it just now, it seems that the area in northern Chu has been exhausted......"
"Hey, hey." Peng Ji smiled gloomily: "For you, for the Peng family, my father wants to force him to comply, whether it is true or false, whether he is greedy for royal power or not, as long as he doesn't want to change hands, he can only compromise!" ”
Peng Lan's excited voice was a little flustered: "Dad, in this way, our Peng family will be relied on by the power of the court." ”
"Not bad! You are willing to marry even a fake one, and your father naturally wants to force this fake one to come true. ”
Peng Lan glanced at the scroll excitedly: "Thank you, Dad!" ”
"But there's something I have to say first."
Peng Lan hurriedly collected her excitement and said cautiously: "Daddy, please speak." ”
"If he follows the trend, he has his own glory, if he does not go with the ......"
Peng Lan said: "Then it will ruin the real one, raise the fake, anyway, for the people of the world, the real and fake, he is the king of prayer." ”
Peng Ji raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of joy and worry: "But this fake ......"
"Father, don't worry, I can control this person."
"Master, Yao Xiang has entered the mansion." At this time, there was the voice of the housekeeper outside the courtyard, and Peng Yu looked at Peng Lan and said loudly: "Go and bring people over, and do what you have to do." ”
"Yes." After the housekeeper answered outside, Peng Lan frowned and looked at Peng Yu: "Father, ...... you"
"Go back, and the butler will look for you later."
Peng Lan looked at the confident look in her father's eyes, and immediately became excited, she already understood what her father was ready, and after curtsimming, she retreated.
Not long after she left, Peng Ji also left the ear room, and not long after Peng Shou led Yao Yanzhang to the front of the ear room.
Yao Yanzhang looked at the dim light outside the window of the ear room and hesitated.
"Yao Xiang, please come inside, my lord has just come back, and he is changing clothes and will be there soon, please be considerate and forgiving."
Although Yao Yanzhang looked suspicious, he walked in after a little hesitation.
The room was dim, there was no one, he looked around, silently looked for a seat, just sat down, and when he looked up, it was the map that was hung.
Yao Yanzhang looked at it and felt that this image was a map, and then he felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but walk closer.
But the light was so dim that he almost squinted.
At this time, the lights suddenly turned on, and he finally saw the content on the map clearly, realized something in shock, and hurriedly turned around, facing Peng Ji's smiling face: "There is Lao Yao waiting, guilty of sin." ”
Yao Yanzhang was naturally embarrassed: "Where is the ......?"
Peng Ji calmly held the candlestick in one hand and led in the other: "Yao Xiang come, come and take a seat!" ”
Yao Yanzhang sat back and sat down, subconsciously looking at the hanging painting in front of him, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and his eyes were worried.
And Peng Ji put the candlestick down at this time and sat next to Yao Yanzhang's adjacent seat: "Yao Xiang, time is tight, let's not go around the corner, listen to the housekeeper, you are discussing the marriage date with us for Your Highness?" ”
Yao Yanzhang was stunned: "Oh, yes, His Royal Highness intends to marry Ling Ai, but at this time, his royal brother is only a young man, and it is inappropriate, so he still announced to the world in advance that he will marry Ling Ai in the Chu Palace Hall of Changsha Mansion in three months." ”
Yao Yanzhang said and took out the jade pendant and put it on the table: "At that time, His Royal Highness had succeeded to the throne as the king, and the canonization of the queen should also be shared, and the whole world celebrates, isn't it beautiful?" ”
Peng Ji looked at the jade pendant and smiled: "Unknown, this shows the world is ......"
"The old man drafted the Zhaowen, stamped with the 'Tiance' treasure seal, and distributed it all over the cities of Chu."
Peng Yu blinked and said with a smile: "The first king made a marriage contract back then, and everyone in the Chu State knew about it, so he was not married for a long time?" ”
"Peng Taibao ......"
"Yao Xiang, the first king is kind to me, so that my Peng family has today's momentum, I am willing to repay the favor to the son of the first king, to protect the country of Chu, however, my Peng Shi clan also has its own face and blood, this protection, naturally is to protect the holy lord of my Peng family, Mingjun."
"Peng Taibao's words are unavoidable, His Royal Highness has already agreed to the marriage......"
"If you agree, then you will get married immediately, and my Peng family will naturally protect it wholeheartedly."
"What?" Yao Yanzhang got up in surprise: "Get married immediately?" This ......"
Peng Ji sat in the chair and looked at Yao Yanzhang: "Yes! After the marriage was completed immediately, witnessed by the squires of Langzhou, a message was issued to inform the world that His Royal Highness the King of Qi would take Princess Peng to lead the Peng family army to Changsha Mansion to succeed to the throne. ”
"Peng Taibao, don't laugh with me, how can the squires everywhere have time to ......"
"They are already waiting in my Jiedu Embassy's mansion." Peng Ji said and got up: "Yao Xiang, you can't be the master of this matter, please hurry up and go back to discuss with His Royal Highness, if you are willing, you will get married before the time of the child, and do not delay the departure tomorrow, if it is later, there will be a delay on the way, and it may be too late to arrive before the king enters the mausoleum." ”
Yao Yanzhang's face was embarrassed when he heard this, and he wanted to discuss it again, but Peng Ji made a gesture of invitation and made it clear that he would no longer talk nonsense.
Yao Yanzhang glanced at him, glanced at the painting again, and finally hurriedly walked out with his fists in his hands helplessly.
It's just that as soon as he came out, he was shocked by the picture in front of him.
In front of the ear room, Peng Shou actually took a few little servants here, each of these little servants held a tray in their hands, and on the tray they were placed: happy crowns, happy clothes, happy boots and other lines.
Peng Ji also walked out at this time and stood beside Yao Yanzhang: "Everything has been prepared, wait for them to accompany you to the other courtyard and wait for His Highness's decision." ”
Persecution, coercion, plain and undisguised.
Yao Yanzhang gritted his teeth and said, "Peng Taibao is really ...... Resolute! ”
Peng Ji smiled: "You're welcome! Chamberlain! Accompany Yao Xiang to another hospital. ”
"Yes, sir."
Peng Yu made a gesture of invitation again, Yao Yanzhang could only stride away with his anger, and Peng Shou and the little servants followed closely with their things and went to the other courtyard together.
