Chapter 240: Personally Speak the Matchmaker
Recently, Li Mu and Chu Yunxi always summoned Xue Zhonglin into the palace, and sometimes added the journey back and forth, and it didn't take half an hour to go. And sometimes I go for hours and don't come back when it's dark.
At this time, it was rumored in the embassy that Xue Zhonglin seemed to have won the favor of Emperor Dali, so he would enter the palace three times and twice to chat with Emperor Dali.
Speaking of why the emperor was so optimistic about Xue Zhonglin, some people began to chew the root of their tongues, saying that there was actually a reason.
It turned out that Xue Zhonglin and Queen Chu Yunxi knew each other before, and it was said that they had a good relationship. It is nothing new that the emperor of Dali, Li Mu, loves the queen, so he loves the house and Wu, and he also has a very good attitude towards the general of Xue State.
"Very good attitude?"
Chu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh when he listened to Manhe and Shui Cui learning their tongues beside him, and said, "Your Majesty has a very good attitude towards Xue Zhonglin?" Who the hell spread this, I laughed to death. ”
Manhe and Shui Cui also laughed, always thinking that this was a big joke.
Chu Yunxi thought about it, I'm afraid it was Li Mu himself, reversing right and wrong, Li Mu is the best at this kind of thing.
Xue Zhonglin entered the palace several times, but he was all tricked, and he didn't see Li Mu and Chu Yunxi at all. But if he tells others about this, others will definitely not believe it, and they think that he is hiding it and doesn't want to say it.
Other people in the Xue State delegation also talked to Xue Zhonglin and asked him how he had been talking to Emperor Dali several times when he entered the palace, but this question was definitely inconclusive, because he didn't talk about it at all.
Xue Zhonglin replied truthfully, but no one believed it, but instead asked those people to look at Xue Zhonglin's eyes, which were a little unusual, as if Xue Zhonglin was going to rebel against Xue Guo.
There is also a person who is anxious and worried these days. This person is, of course, Xue Zhonglin's "childhood sweetheart" Xue Shiwu.
Xue Shiwu kept tearing the veil in a hurry, and she didn't believe that Xue Zhonglin hadn't seen Emperor Dali and Empress Dali several times when she entered the palace, thinking that it must be that Queen Chu Yunxi who was obsessed with Xue Zhonglin, so she always asked Xue Zhonglin to enter the palace.
Chu Yunxi wanted to sow discord and treat others in her own way, but she hadn't done anything yet, and Li Mu had already helped her basically complete the task.
Xue Zhonglin was tricked several times, and on this day, Li Mu called someone to summon Xue Zhonglin into the palace.
Xue Zhonglin obviously has a temper, but they are in the realm of Dali, and this is still the capital, so no matter how bad this breath is, it can only be swallowed back into his stomach.
Chu Yunxi and Li Mu were walking in the garden, and Chu Yunxi said, "What excuse will Your Majesty use today to send Xue Zhonglin away?" ”
Li Mu said: "What do you say, I am like a cautious eye. ”
Chu Yunxi almost laughed out loud, but wisely did not speak.
Li Mu said: "Why don't you meet Xue Zhonglin today, what do you think?" ”
Chu Yunxi didn't dare to express his opinion, maybe he would say it himself, and Li Mu immediately drove Xue Zhonglin out of the palace.
Chu Yunxi was silent, Li Mu really didn't blow Xue Zhonglin away this time, and asked someone to bring Xue Zhonglin over.
Xue Zhonglin has been in and out of the palace many times, and the people in the palace are almost familiar with him. Xue Zhonglin thought that this time, he would have to wait again, but when he passed, Li Mu and Chu Yunxi were already there.
Chu Yunxi sat on the chair, but Li Mu stood next to her, greeted her with warmth, personally took the clothes and put them on her, and said: "Don't be greedy for cold, if you catch a cold, you must drink another pair of medicines, don't you like to drink medicine the most?" ”
Chu Yunxi had no choice but to put on his clothes.
Xue Zhonglin saluted respectfully, and Li Mu looked like he was aware of it, and said, "General Xue is already here, give me a seat quickly." ”
After Xue Zhonglin thanked him, he sat down, hung his head in a regular manner, and did not look at it randomly.
However, Chu Yunxi carefully looked at Xue Zhonglin a few times, which made Li Mu quite dissatisfied.
Li Mu coughed and said, "I heard that General Xue and my empress knew each other before, but there is such a thing. ”
"Yes." Xue Zhonglin replied: "When the foreign minister was young, he was fortunate to have the queen's mother come to the rescue, otherwise the foreign minister would not be able to stand here now." ”
"It turns out that my queen still has a life-saving grace for General Xue." Li Mu said: "That's really a great fate. ”
"Your Majesty said yes." Xue Zhonglin said.
Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm happy today, let's not talk about the matter of the Nine Princes first." ”
Li Mu asked someone to bring wine and food, saying that he wanted to have two drinks with Xue Zhonglin. Xue Zhonglin excused himself, but Li Mu insisted, so he had to sit down and drink.
Chu Yunxi is pregnant, so naturally she can't drink alcohol, she just sits next to them and listens to them.
Li Mu always pulls some things that he doesn't have, and it seems that he wants Xue Zhonglin to return in vain today.
Chu Yunxi said with a smile: "General Xue has also reached the age when he should start a family, I don't know if there is a girl with a heart?" ”
Although Chu Yunxi was asking, after asking, he didn't give Xue Zhonglin a chance to speak, and he had already said: "Your Majesty, the concubine and General Xue are also fateful. Why don't Your Majesty personally tell General Xue about a family matter, if it can be done, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing? The relationship between Da Li and Xue Guo can also be eased a little, isn't it? ”
When Xue Zhonglin heard this, he frowned invisibly.
Li Mu laughed and said, "Yes, yes, it's still thoughtful Yunxi." ”
Chu Yunxi is clearly pitting Xue Zhonglin, Xue Shiwu is already a sea of vinegar, and now Chu Yunxi also said that he wants Li Mu to personally talk to the matchmaker and tell Xue Zhonglin about a family matter, which is obviously to beat the mandarin duck.
"This ......," Xue Zhonglin said hesitantly.
Chu Yunxi didn't give him a chance to speak, and said, "Could it be that General Xue already has a favorite girl?" ”
"No, I didn't." Xue Zhonglin said.
Xue Shiwu really likes Xue Zhonglin and wants to marry Xue Zhonglin. However, Xue Zhonglin really didn't have any feelings for Xue Shiwu, but he didn't have a favorite girl yet.
Chu Yunxi said again: "Is that a marriage has already been decided?" ”
"Also...... Never. Xue Zhonglin said.
The second prince verbally said that he would marry Xue Shiwu to Xue Zhonglin. But this is full of unknowns, if the second prince repents and says it's just a joke, there is no way. The family matter has not been decided, the dowry has not been given, there is not even a matchmaker, and the eight characters have not been skimmed.
If Xue Zhonglin unilaterally said that there was, he might be said to have ruined Xue Shiwu's reputation at that time, and I am afraid that he would not be able to argue. So Xue Zhonglin had no choice but to shake his head.
Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "There is no favorite girl, and there is no family matter, isn't this done?" I met General Xue when I was a child, and I was quite worried when I saw that there was no one to take care of General Xue. ”
Li Mu said: "What Yunxi said makes sense. ”
