Chapter 159: Painstakingly Designing a Marriage Proposal
The music and dance in the hall are coming to an end, and the night in autumn comes early, and the sky is already dark before the time comes.
Qu Wenhai hit his head on the table and was carried away by the palace people with a shelf, making everyone curious about what happened.
After all, no matter how good the dance is, I will be tired of the last night, how can it be so lively and interesting.
Gu Enyang couldn't let go of the old man's shelf, but there was still Gu Ruohong by his side, and a glance was thrown to Gu Ruohong, and Gu Ruohong comprehended that the body squeezed to the position before Qu Qingwen.
"Brother Qingyan, what's wrong with Master Qu? How can a good person ......"
He wanted to say how a good person passed out, and his grandfather's chopsticks, who were not still angry just now, were almost crushed.
As soon as his words fell, the surroundings instantly fell silent, and those who heard his question had to lean over with their ears on their ears.
Qu Qingyan had worry and anxiety on his face, and only shook his head slightly and said worriedly: "Grandfather was just explaining that the banquet was about to end, and he asked our brothers and sisters to stay in the palace, but it didn't come to an end......
She sighed, her head slightly tilted and she was already looking at the palace door again, as if she was waiting for the news sent back by Zhao Gonggong and Qu Qingwen.
Gu Ruohong turned sideways and spread his hands slightly towards Gu Enyang, it was too difficult to find out the news from Qu Qingyan's mouth, and the real person was like a gourd that had not opened his mouth, his mouth was tight.
Qu Qingyan was afraid that Emperor Jing would want to show his love for Qu Wenhai now, so he asked a few words of concern.
She held her heart tightly, and Emperor Jing's gaze swept several times, and she was ready to be called to the palace.
After the last meal, this time the Mid-Autumn Festival feast should have come to an end.
Without Qu Wenhai, Guanglu Siqing, Honglu Siqing and others are not hairy boys who have just joined the company, and they are also able to handle the matters after that.
Even if the feast is over, everyone in the hall does not want to watch only half of the play and leave, Emperor Jing never got up on the throne, and others used this as an excuse to bury their heads and refuse to move.
When Gonggong Zhao stepped into the Fengtian Hall with one foot, he felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a little unspeakably strange, but ...... No matter how weird it is, can it be compared with Qu Wenhai?
This Ministry of Rites Shangshu really didn't have any baggage on him, thinking of the old face he had just almost cried out of his nose, Zhao Gonggong twisted his eyebrows in disgust.
He trotted all the way to Emperor Jing's side: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Fang Courtyard said that Master Qu was in a hurry, and he would have woken up." ”
"Angry?" These four words made Emperor Jing stunned, what could he do at this big banquet to make him so angry that he fainted.
Zhao Gonggong bowed down and said with some embarrassment: "Master Qu cried very much when he woke up...... Well, sad, Master Qu said that he was aggrieved and wanted to see His Majesty. ”
The secretary of the Ministry of Rites of Zheng Erpin, the cabinet minister who entered the cabinet, actually pulled his eunuch sleeve and refused to let go, and almost touched his tears and snot to him...... Zhao Gonggong really didn't want to remember more.
"Is he wronged? Are you sure he's not stupid? ”
Seeing that although the music and dance are celebrated all over the world, Emperor Jing thinks that he is also a mortal, but he wants to hear when this eclectic secretary of the Ministry of Rites was wronged.
"Bring Jean to the Wuying Palace."
Emperor Jing got up, and immediately someone surrounded him in the middle, and the ministers knelt down to see Emperor Jing leave.
There was no more excitement to make up, everyone in the hall had to get up and leave, Qu Qingyan turned around to look at Qu Zhaoying, and looked at Yang Jianxian with her eyes still uncontrollably, and she couldn't wait to slap her on the head.
"Seventh sister, you go out of the palace with me first."
His voice suddenly appeared in her ears, shaking Qu Zhaoying's body, she hurriedly retracted her gaze and subconsciously asked: "Grandfather still doesn't know what to do, won't it be good for us to leave like this?"
Qu Qingyan smiled sarcastically: "I'm afraid that my grandfather will faint again when he sees you, so Seventh Sister will go back with me first." ”
What she said was not tactful and polite at all, Qu Zhaoying's face was as red as the burning charcoal in winter, and she was ashamed but unwilling to leave like this.
"Fourth brother, don't we really have to wait for grandfather? We are juniors, and we should stay by his side. ”
"I thought you should know better than the sixth sister."
This kind of ridicule is already very powerful, Qu Zhaoying didn't dare to fight back, and followed Qu Qingyan's side unwillingly, but his eyes still fell on Yang Jianxian with some reluctance.
Wuying Palace, the prince and King Yu entered the palace one after another, and said that there was something to return, but neither of them stood in the palace and refused to speak.
Qu Wenhai was carried on a stretcher, constantly thinking about what he should say when he saw Emperor Jing.
It is said that children are the debts of their parents, and he will repay his children's debts for Qu Boshu now.
The stretcher arrived in front of the gate of the Wuying Palace, Qu Wenhai beckoned to Qu Qingwen, Emperor Jing had returned to the palace, how much face did he have to lie down calmly and go in?
Qu Qingwen helped him, and at this time, he still didn't know why Qu Wenhai fainted, and he didn't know why he was in such a posture before.
"Wait a minute, don't speak up unless you have to, but understand?
Taking the opportunity to enter the door, Qu Wenhai whispered in Qu Qingwen's ear with a voice that only the two of them could hear, he sighed extremely at the moment, if it was Qu Qingyan who accompanied him to the rest room before, knowing the ins and outs might be a big help for him.
However, with the brother-sister relationship between Qu Qingwen and Qu Zhaoying, if he stayed in the palace and took Qu Zhaoying back to the house, I am afraid that I don't know what will go wrong halfway.
When Qu Qingyan lowered his face, he already had a bit of momentum, and he, as a grandfather, had to be solemn a little bit, and it was no longer a problem to suppress Qu Zhaoying.
After Gonggong Zhao entered the palace first and gave Emperor Jing a gift, it was passed that their ancestors and grandchildren entered the palace.
As soon as Qu Wenhai entered the door, he saw the two princes, Zhu Jinyu and Zhu Jinrui, sitting side by side on the right side of Emperor Jing's bookcase...... It doesn't matter......
Qu Qingyan pulled Qu Zhaoying out of the palace in a hurry, and she had to enter the palace to participate in the court meeting on the fifteenth day of every month, and she knew very well how to go from the Heavenly Palace to the outside of the palace.
It's just that the more anxious she is, the slower Qu Zhaoying goes.
"If you don't want to be confined after returning home, and you don't want to be allowed by your grandfather to do family affairs at will, you can leave, and the Qu family can't be lost all your face by you."
Qu Qingyan looked at Qu Zhaoying's embarrassed appearance at this time, as if she thought of herself in her previous life, the more she looked at it, the more annoyed she became, and the more unkind her words became.
Qu Zhaoying pinched the veil, although the mistake had been made, she did not regret it at all.
She always has to fight for herself, Qu Zhaoyun can try again and again for herself, why does she have to be married off at will? :
"Fourth brother, I know what I did wrong today, don't worry, I will bear it with all my might, and I won't drag down the Qu family and grandfather."
Not a drag?
Qu Qingyan paused suddenly, turned around and looked at her with sharp eyes, and suddenly grabbed her wrist, no matter how she struggled behind her, she walked out of the palace quickly and dragged people into her own carriage.
Qu Qingyan did not avoid suspicion and Qu Zhaoying sat in the same carriage, and the car walked away little by little, but the oppressive momentum on her body did not retreat at all.
"What is in your heart that is dragging down the Qu family? What do you think you can sit in this car now, and enter the palace with the three of us? Don't drag it down, unless you take off the song words on your body, and you don't have anything to do with this family, what you do today can be regarded as not dragging down the Qu family at all! ”
Qu Zhaoying shrank in a corner of the carriage, although she was still unwilling in her heart, she didn't dare to say anything to refute it, so she could only lean against the wall of the car and pin her head without saying a word.
"You are my sister in the next room, I won't take care of your affairs, and when I return to the house, I will go to Chunhui Courtyard to tell my grandmother and aunt the truth about today's affairs, and then I don't care about your long room."
Qu Qingyan divided the relationship between the two rooms very clearly, with her understanding of Qu Wenhai, he would definitely not sit back and watch this matter spread from the palace and then look for countermeasures, Zhao Gonggong hurriedly returned to Fengtian Hall to take Emperor Jing away, I am afraid that Qu Wenhai has already made a preemptive strike.
She used the dim candle flame in the car to look at Qu Zhaoying, who was huddled in the corner but still full of longing, is it really a blessing to marry Yang Jianxian?
The carriage swayed back to Dengshikou Street, and Qu Qingyan pressed people all the way to Chunhui Courtyard.
In the Wuying Palace, Emperor Jing already had the fragrant tea brought by the palace people in hand, and the unique richness of the big red robe lingered around several people, and it did not disperse for a long time.
When the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help but hesitate at all, he broke free from Qu Qingwen's support, his legs were weak, and he knelt very solidly.
"Your Majesty, Weichen...... Wechen wants to ask His Majesty to marry the juniors in the family.
"Oh?" Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, he seemed to have just cared about the family affairs of these juniors in the Fengtian Hall today, didn't this Qu Wenhai Mo take the opportunity to climb up when he heard the news?
Qu Wenhai's old eyes squeezed, and Zhao Gonggong on the side subconsciously trembled, can't this Lord Qu save some face for himself?
The old eyes were a little dry, and Qu Wenhai didn't shed tears after squeezing for a long time, only making his eyes a little redder.
"The juniors in Weichen's family are ...... today Today, ......, I ask Your Majesty to give marriage to the granddaughter of the family. ”
Emperor Jing didn't feel anything wrong with him who had something to say, but it made Qu Qingwen a little anxious, what did Qu Zhaoying do today to make Qu Wenhai faint in anger first, and now he is going to ask for her to marry?
Emperor Jing put the tea bowl on the table and only looked at him fixedly.
Qu Wenhai knocked his head with a bang, "It's the minister's lack of upbringing, so that the juniors in the family will be tempted by others to do things that violate etiquette, but the minister is such a granddaughter, the minister is really ...... There is really no way to send her to the family temple, so she can only ask His Majesty for marriage with an old face. ”
The sound of his head hurting too much, and Qu Wenhai finally used this strength to make himself cry.
Emperor Jing's hand was finally unable to hold the tea bowl in Qu Wenhai's tears, although the newly appointed secretary of the Ministry of Rites was very much in line with his heart, but it seemed to be too unusual.
Emperor Jing looked at Zhao Gonggong with a look, and Zhao Gonggong had already turned around and walked out of the hall with a comprehension.
Zhu Jinrui's eyes fell on the few tears that Qu Wenhai forcibly squeezed out, and when he thought of Yang Jianxian and the others he met outside Zuo Shun's door, he already had a faint speculation in his heart.
Zhao Quan had already returned to the hall in less than a quarter of an hour, and he leaned in front of Emperor Jing and whispered a few words.
In the end, it is a family ugly, Qu Wenhai knelt on the ground and his whole body was full of helplessness, not to mention what kind of impact this would bring to Qu Zhaoying once it was rumored, the Qu family was already a girl who took the initiative to run to be a concubine, if it was rumored that there was a girl who had a private meeting with a man regardless of etiquette, then the reputation of their Qu family could only be completely lost.
"Which two people does Qu Aiqing want to marry?"
Emperor Jing's voice was faint and people couldn't hear any emotion, and Qu Wenhai's heart suddenly mentioned, he had been forced to go to Liangshan.
"I beg Your Majesty to marry Qu Zhaoying, the junior in the family, and Yang Jianxian, the eldest grandson of Lord Yang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites."
As soon as his voice fell, Qu Qingwen's face turned white in an instant.
On the side, the crown prince Zhu Jinyu suddenly felt that there seemed to be something strange about this marriage.
"The eldest grandson of Yang Zhongjie's family?" Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Qu Wenhai, and only asked again: "Qu Aiqing, if this Yang Zhongjie's eldest grandson is already engaged or is discussing marriage, I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate for me to give marriage like this." ”
How could this be inappropriate!
Qu Wenhai was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, as far as Weichen knows, this Yang Zhongjie has not yet decided on a marriage and has not yet agreed to marry, just because he has no concerns about this, so he will lure the juniors in Weichen's family to make such a private meeting." The junior in the minister's family is a girl's family, and he can't afford such a stigma, Your Majesty. ”
Qu Zhaoying can't bear it, can Yang Jianxian bear it?
Emperor Jing's face was obscure, and he stared at Qu Wenhai for a long time, and suddenly looked sideways at Zhu Jinyu: "How should the prince feel that his father should deal with this matter?" ”
Zhu Jinyu didn't expect Emperor Jing to suddenly throw the problem on him, Qu Wenhai was already pleading, he hesitated and didn't know what to do.
However, Zhu Jinrui, who was beside him, suddenly spoke: "If there is affection between the two of them, the father should be an adult." ”
At first glance, it sounded like he was helping Qu Wenhai speak, but if you think about it carefully, what does it mean that they have affection for each other...... Wouldn't that be a complete reality for Qu Zhaoying and Yang Jianxian to teach and receive privately?
Qu Wenhai had a little white sweat on his head, and it was not easy to splash dirty water on Yang Jianxian, after all, it was Qu Zhaoying who crossed the Dongjiao Gate, and the two of them were found next to Zuoshun Gate.
It was a resting place for men.
"Oh? The emperor is Jue's father, and the emperor should give marriage to these two? ”
Zhu Jinrui nodded: "It's also a good achievement." ”
He used it to mean that he already knew the hidden secret, and Zhu Jinyu's heart suddenly swelled with a wisp of unease.
As soon as this brother returned to Beijing, he could know the secret of today's banquet, why didn't he see the details when he was obviously in the palace?
"Listening to what the fourth brother said, what does the fourth brother know? The eldest brother is still a little confused, how about the fourth brother tell him the inside story? ”
He suddenly smiled and looked at Emperor Jing and Zhu Jinrui, he must not be able to speak this kind of question, and Zhu Jinrui has always been a little talker, looking at the inquiry in his eyes, he thought for a long time and only said: "It's just that I met Yang Jianxian and Yongning Hou at the East Corner Gate." ”
