Chapter 189: Forced Marriage
"You tell the queen mother the truth, who will be fulfilled by the blossoming of marriage, do you have a number in your heart?" The queen was unhappy, but she still patiently asked Shen Tuwen.
"Naturally, it will be fulfilled on my destined princess," Shen Tuwen said with some shame: "Otherwise, who else can it be fulfilled?" ”
"You child," said the queen with disgust, "and by this time you will be going around the bend with me." ”
"Why is the queen mother so anxious? Anyway, the marriage branch has already bloomed, and I've been waiting for ten years, can't I wait for this year and a half? Shen Tuwen asked the queen rhetorically.
"Why not be in a hurry? Not only am I anxious, but your father is also anxious, you are about to be twenty-eight years old, and people of your age are already having children. The queen said bitterly: "The emperor and I mean, since your marriage has been moved, Mo Ruo will complete it within one or two months, and it will also be a big matter for us." ”
"Erchen understands the intentions of the queen mother and the emperor, but after all, the marriage is a matter of both parties, and I haven't been able to find that person yet, uh, discuss it properly"
"Oh, my son, I thought something was wrong!" When the queen heard this, she didn't take this matter as a difficult matter: "What woman in the world is willing to refuse your marriage proposal?" Besides, such a major matter is naturally discussed by both parents, so how can you let her talk about it alone? ”
"But I don't think it's good to be too sudden, and I don't even know if she has parents," Shen Tuwen said, "Everything needs to be considered in the long run." ”
In fact, what he planned in his heart was how to make Jiang Jiang accept himself first, instead of seeing himself as a flood beast.
"You kid is confused, let me ask you, did Ganoderma lucidum grow on the lintel of your house a few days ago?" The queen looked at Shen Tu and asked.
"It's just a rotten mushroom, I'll pick it and feed it to the horses." Shen Tuwen said with some disgust.
"You, you are really reckless," the queen said with some disgust, "That's Xiangrui, and other people can't ask for it." You're good enough to take it off and feed it to the horses. ”
"Even if it is a Ganoderma lucidum, it is not a rare thing, if the queen mother wants it, there are many good Ganoderma lucidum in my house, and I will send someone to send you to the palace tomorrow."
"What do I want so many reishi for? Isn't there one in the palace? The queen said: "Have you heard that almost at the same time, a Ganoderma lucidum also grew on the door of Prime Minister Xiao's house?" ”
"I think it's because there is a lot of rain this winter, and the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion is also rotten." Shen Tuwen deliberately did not get to the point.
"You don't give me a sloppy eye, let me ask you, on the day the marriage branches bloom, did Xiao Liuli, the concubine of Prime Minister Xiao, go to your house to visit Mama Chang?" When the queen saw that Shen Tu was stable and weak, she simply made her words clear.
"There were many people in my house that day, and she was not the only one." Shen Tuwen refused to admit it.
"Oh, since that's the case, then tell me whose daughters entered the palace that day?" The queen decided to break the casserole and ask to the end.
"It's too much, I'll have to go back and look into it in detail." Shen Tu said solemnly.
"You stinky boy are you begging for a beating?!" The emperor, who had been hiding behind the screen, couldn't help it, and jumped out with a stalk of red sandalwood in his hand and was about to hit Shen Tu.
The queen hurriedly stopped and said for Shen Tu: "Your Majesty is angry, maybe there are indeed a lot of people who entered the Zhaojing Palace's mansion that day, let him go back and take a closer look, after all, this is also his lifelong event, how can he not care?" ”
"He's clearly playing dumb there! As soon as Xiao Liuli entered the palace, the marriage branch bloomed and was clearly fulfilled, and after that, Ruizhi was born on the lintel of the Prime Minister's Mansion and his mansion, isn't this obvious enough? ! The emperor was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Prime Minister Xiao's daughter is also a beautiful girl, and it is said that the talents of the characters are all first-class, what are you not satisfied with?!" ”
"Yes, yes! It's that you are a little dissatisfied with her, since she is your destined princess, you should marry her as soon as possible. It's a big deal that after a year and a half, it's okay to have more concubines. The queen thought of a compromise.
"Ke Erchen feels that Xiao Liuli is not my destined princess," Shen Tu shook his head steadily: "I was disgusted when I saw her, how can I be a husband and wife?" ”
"You don't talk nonsense to me!" The emperor continued to chase Shen Tuwen around the table: "If it's not Xiao Liuli, then who is it?!" You must name me someone now, or I will never let you out!" ”
"It's true that it's not Xiao Liuli, but as for who the son is, I still need to confirm it, and when that person is identified, I will naturally marry her into the door." Shen Tu had no choice but to explain that he was going to buy time now.
"Your Majesty, since Wen'er has already said so, let's not force him," the queen felt sorry for her son after all: "It's better to forgive him for a few days and wait for him to find that person." ”
"Okay, I'll give you another month, if you can't find the person you said within a month, you must marry Xiao Liuli!" The emperor was tired and breathless, and stood there panting.
"Thank you father and queen mother," Shen Tuwen hurriedly thanked him: "Erchen will go out of the palace to find it." ”
Shen Tu quickly whipped out of the palace, and when he returned to the mansion, he called Sang Jiechen over and told him to go to the coolie street to find Jiang Jiang, of course, what he told Sang Jiechen was to bring Jiang Juechen to him.
Now, even if Xiao Xian is completely unaware, he must not let her stay out of the situation, he doesn't want to marry Xiao Liuli's woman.
In order to worry that Jiang Jiang would see him like a ghost, Shen Tuwen picked up the mask from last time and put it on.
In this case, she should not be recognized, first encircle her in the palace, find an opportunity to send her to the palace, let the queen and the emperor take a look, and then talk about it after passing this level, feelings can be cultivated slowly.
Who would have thought that after half an hour, Sang Jiechen came back alone and reported to Shen Tu: "Lord Wang, my subordinates went to Coolie Street, but the bearded Jiang is not there." asked the people at the stall, they all said that Jiang Dabeard had gone to do business in other places, and when he was asked when he would come back, they couldn't say clearly. ”
Of course, Shen Tuwen didn't believe that Jiang Jiang was going out to do business, thinking that she had always been in contact with Yuwen Zhengji, so he said to Sang Jiechen: "You go down!" Call Shen Mulai. ”
After a while, Shen Mu walked in and asked, "I don't know if the prince has anything to tell his subordinates?" ”
"You sneaked into Yuwen Mansion quietly when it was dark to see if Jiang Dabeard was in his mansion? If Jiang Dabeard is not there, check whether the little brother surnamed Jiang who was successful in Yuwen Mansion last time is there. Shen Tu Wen instructed in detail.
"My subordinates know, what should I do if these two people are here?" Shen Mu asked.
"You just need to find out if they are in Yuwen Mansion, and don't worry about the rest." Although Shen Mu's martial arts are good, he is a little stupid, not as clever as Sang Jiechen.
