Chapter 51: A Request for Marriage
Ning Guodong is very knowledgeable, since he entered this heart cultivation hall, in addition to making a salute, he pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not speak.
"Li'er, are you okay in the General's Mansion?"
When Ning Xuanli heard the emperor's question, he felt a sense of disgust from the bottom of his heart.
"Good."
"Good is good......"
Ning Guodong felt that he shouldn't listen to the conversation between these two people, and he was afraid that the emperor would settle accounts with him in the future, so he had the intention of saying goodbye in his heart, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the old minister suddenly remembered that there were still things to deal with at home, so he went back first." β
The emperor's eyes narrowed, and he smiled and let people retreat, this smile on his face seemed to be unaffected by Ning Xuanli's indifferent attitude.
"Listen to the general, do you want me to marry the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Ning Xuanli's purpose of entering the palace is very simple, he doesn't want to talk nonsense with the emperor, and he doesn't want to ask about the things of fifteen years ago.
"Well, there are many protΓ©gΓ©s of the prime minister, and the power is very widely distributed, if you can't use it in the future, it must be a huge resistance."
"Such a big eunuch who is entrenched in the imperial court, you don't want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, if I marry the Prime Minister's Mansion again, the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion will be tied to the same boat, and when the Prime Minister's Mansion will be powerful on your head, you probably can't help it."
The emperor didn't expect his theory to be refuted like this, and seemed to think that what the other party said was quite reasonable, but he still quickly denied it: "That's because the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't know your identity, you have come to Japan to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, and the Prime Minister's Mansion has no in-law relationship with the General's Mansion." β
"Even if I'm just the adopted son of the General's Mansion, I'm also a child of the General's Mansion."
The emperor never thought that his child would say such a thing, how could this dignified son be a child of the General's Mansion, this must be that Ning Guodong's old man did not teach him well.
The older the emperor is, the smaller his heart is, and he can't help but feel a little unhappy when he thinks of this, and he can't help but gradually complain about Ning Guodong in his heart.
"Okay, I won't tell you this, you deliberately entered the palace today, you won't just tell me this, right?"
In the past, Ning Xuanli also entered the palace as the prince's companion, but he only occasionally asked about the prince's situation, but Ning Xuanli was willing to take care of the emperor, otherwise Ning Xuanli didn't want to talk to the emperor very much.
"Miss Yan of the General's Mansion has already arrived."
Ning Xuanli's span was a little larger, and the emperor didn't react for a while, so he nodded and said, "Do you want me to marry her?" β
Ning Xuanli looked at the emperor without any warmth, and didn't want other princes to dare to look at the emperor directly, at this moment his eyes looked at the dragon chair carved with a five-clawed golden dragon behind the emperor, and said after a long time: "Her family affairs, I will personally make a holy decree one day." You must not meddle. β
The emperor's eyes widened suddenly, glaring at him unhappily and said, "Are you cursing me to die soon?" β
Ning Xuanli shook his head and said: "I didn't curse you, it's just that her marriage will inevitably be cared about by the ladies of the harem, and I hope the emperor will bother you a lot." β
The emperor snorted coldly, the shrewdness of many years of ascending the throne made him understand the key at once, and nodded: "Indeed, the prince doesn't have to think about it, there is already a crown princess." The third and fifth children have not married yet, if anyone marries her, it will not be like a tiger, and it will not be good for you in the future. β
The emperor, who figured this out, had a bad face and snorted coldly: "Just so that she doesn't marry the young lady of the prime minister's family?" β
"The General's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is more important, don't you understand better than me? Otherwise, you would have sent me to the Prime Minister's Mansion to raise me. β
Leng Buding was mentioned about the things of the year, and the emperor's face was blue and white for a while, and he just explained weakly: "I was really forced to be helpless back then, I know that for so many years, you have resented me, but the emperor also has the emperor's helplessness......"
"I don't want to mention the matter back then, but I will never agree to this marriage with the Prime Minister's Mansion."
When the emperor heard this, he was anxious, and he also felt that it was time to show the majesty of an emperor, and ordered in a deep voice: "The capital has been arranged, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the holy decree of marriage will be sent to the General's Mansion and the Chengxiang Mansion, and you must agree if you promise, and you must agree if you do not agree." β
Ning Xuanli sneered: "There are still two months before Chinese New Year's Eve, you really think about the long term, and even pick the day." β
"I'm doing this for your own good."
Ning Xuanli's refusal made the emperor feel a little confident, and in order to please him, Chrysostom said: "I also promise you that I will never interfere in the marriage of the general's mansion." That's okay, right? β
"The emperor is true to his word, and he does what he says."
The emperor felt that his authority was questioned because of this sentence, and said with a full sense of anger: "After I finished speaking, I naturally said nothing, why don't you worry." β
Ning Xuan's centrifugal stone was finally relieved, even if the Third Emperor Palace Xuanqing and the Fifth Emperor Palace Xuanzheng came to the palace to ask for marriage, he was not afraid.
After saying this, Ning Xuanli hurriedly said goodbye, and even if the emperor wanted to keep him to talk more, he used the excuse that there was something in the general's mansion and left.
Seeing that General Ning and Young Master Yan of the General's Mansion had left one after another, Chief Eunuch Kui muttered: "It's really strange, I didn't pay attention just now, it turns out that this Young Master didn't go with the old general." β
He was still muttering here, and when he heard the emperor's call inside, he immediately went in again.
"There are two holy decrees here, one for the general's mansion and the other for the prime minister's mansion, and I will go to announce the holy decree early tomorrow morning."
The emperor pointed to the holy decree that had just fallen from the jade seal in his hand, and commanded coldly to Eunuch Kui.
"Yes, the old slave will put it away first, and he will go to announce the decree early tomorrow morning."
Jiang is still old and spicy, Ning Xuanli would never have thought that the holy decree for the marriage of the general's mansion had already been written, even if he did not enter the palace this afternoon, these two holy decrees would still arrive at the general's mansion and the prime minister's mansion early tomorrow morning.
The emperor sighed secretly in his heart, Li'er, don't blame your father, my father is all paving the way for you to be able to ascend the throne smoothly in the future.
Immediately, the emperor was afraid of long nights and dreams, and said to Kui Eunuch, who was receiving the holy decree: "You go now, you go to declare the holy decree now." β
In fact, the reason why Ning Xuanli was in such a hurry to go back was very simple, because Ning Zimo, who was angry about Ning Xuan's departure from his relatives before, had not yet lost his anger, and he was in a hurry to enter the palace at noon, and he disappeared for an afternoon, which Ning Zimo was probably even more angry.
"Xiao Mo, are you in there?"
Yu Nu was already accustomed to the crack in the door of Miss Yan's boudoir, and said kindly: "Young Master Yan, Miss loves to eat hibiscus honey cream, wouldn't it be good if you took it?" β
Ning Xuanli frowned, and was about to buy hibiscus honey cream, but the door behind him creaked open, and Ning Zimo directly crossed Ning Xuanli without squinting and walked outside.
"It's over, it's over, Miss is angry this time, and how much hibiscus honey cream is useless."
After Yu Nu finished saying this, he thought about following the young lady in hindsight, but Ning Xuanli couldn't see this person ignoring himself so much, and when he was about to pull the person back to have a good theory, the housekeeper ran in a hurry and said: "Young Master, Miss Yan, the holy decree has come to the palace, and the master asks the two of you to hurry to the front hall." β
It is common for there to be a holy decree in the general's mansion, Ning Zimo shook his head arrogantly after hearing this, Ning Xuanli's heart went up and down, and when he followed to the front hall, he found that a large family was already kneeling neatly in the front hall.
"Everyone is together, let my father-in-law read the holy decree."
The father-in-law cleared his throat, unfolded the decree with great momentum, and began to read it.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I am the Empress Dowager's mercy, the prime minister's concubine Liu's family, temperamental, prudent, gentle and courteous, with the quality of Hui Soft, soft and virtuous, with the beauty of peace and righteousness, and the quiet and upright. The harmony of admiration, restraint in courtesy, respect for the festival of the night, and slack in diligence. It was very pleasant to hear it, and it was specially decided to marry Ning Xuan, the young master of the general's mansion, and choose an auspicious day to complete the marriage. Chin this. β
After the announcement of the holy decree, Ning Guodong did not get up for a long time to receive the holy decree, and the father-in-law of Nakui was anxious, and reminded in a low voice: "This General Ning is not so happy, don't hurry up to receive the decree." β
Ning Guodong nodded hurriedly, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." β
After this decree, some people in the general's mansion were happy and some worried, and there were even more people with red eyes.
"Young Master, the emperor has something to tell the old slave to tell you, please move."
Ning Xuanli wanted to see how Ning Zimo's situation was, and when he heard this, he followed behind this Kui Gonggong.
Ning Zimo seemed to be given there, her brain was buzzing, and when everyone else got up, she was still kneeling there, Ning Tiancheng snorted coldly: "I'm afraid this young lady is stupid, she is still kneeling after reading the holy decree." β
Ning Zimo didn't hear what others said, the jade slave wanted to help his young lady up, and the people in the provincial mansion looked at it and made people laugh, but Ning Zimo pushed the jade slave to the side, got up from the ground, and snatched the holy decree directly from Ning Guodong's hand, and once again carefully held the holy decree in his hand and watched, the more he looked at it, the more dazzling he felt, and threw the holy decree to the ground.
This frightened Ning Guodong, hurriedly picked up the holy decree, and yelled at the lively family watching the excitement on the side: "Look at anything, go down." β
Ning Guodong frowned and walked towards Ning Zimo, and reproached softly: "What are you messing around?" β
"You took your brother out this afternoon, did you go to the palace to ask for a holy decree for marriage?"
Ning Zimo's brain seemed to be paralyzed, Ning Guodong saw her so lost and depressed, and said, "Your father, I took your brother into the palace, but my father and I didn't say anything about marriage." β
Ning Guodong's mind couldn't turn around with this holy decree, how could this good holy decree come, he twisted his eyebrows and guessed: "Daddy didn't ask for the holy decree, then it is estimated that your brother asked for it himself." β
