Chapter 27: Respect His Choice
Harem.
Glory Hall.
What happened in the Xuanzheng Palace soon reached Empress Zhu. After Empress Zhu was stunned for a short time, a smile that was definitely not kind appeared on her delicate makeup, "In this way, it is not Sheng Zilan who King Ding wants to marry, but the daughter of the Sheng family?" β
Mama Yue nodded and replied, "Exactly." However, Sheng Xiang refused to admit the identity of that daughter, and insisted that his daughter had died seventeen years ago, and the one brought by King Ding was an impostor. The emperor has handed over the matter to Dali Temple for thorough investigation. β
"Send someone to check on that girl, and in two hours, I will know all the information about her." Empress Zhu commanded.
"Yes." Mama Yue was ordered to retire.
......
Dingwang's mansion.
Yan received the news, and after dressing up carefully, Hou was in front of the Sijun Palace. Although I don't know why the emperor suddenly came to the Dingwang Mansion to discuss matters with the old prince, this is the perfect time for her to enter the Sijun Palace. For twenty years, she was rejected by the old prince, and she almost forgot the old prince's appearance. At this moment, her mind was full of thoughts about the situation when the husband and wife met after twenty years, and her heart was beating fast.
What happened in the court has not yet spread, so she does not know the purpose of the emperor's trip. If she knew, she wouldn't have had this mind.
Half an hour later, Nangong Wuyue appeared in the Dingwang Mansion. Yan stepped forward and said, "Welcome to the emperor." β
"The imperial sister-in-law is exempt." Nangong Wuyue was very respectful to Yan's sister-in-law, and after being polite, she walked towards the Sijun Palace.
As the hostess of Dingwang's Mansion, Yan followed behind Nangong Wuyue and walked towards the place where he had been thinking about it for twenty years. It's just that as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by Hood, "Princess, please stop, the prince has an order, I only see the emperor today." β
Yan's complexion changed sharply, but in front of Nangong Wuyue, no matter how much dissatisfaction he had, he couldn't attack, so he had to show a general appearance, "Since the prince wants to meet the emperor alone, then the concubine will leave." Hu De, you tell the prince that after he receives the emperor, the concubine will go to the Sijun Palace to discuss Sheng'er's family affairs with him. "Some time ago, the emperor had issued an order to let Nangong Sheng and Sheng Zilan get married, although there was no specific marriage date, but it was a matter of time, as Sheng'er's father and mother, they should naturally discuss this matter together. She didn't believe that the old prince wouldn't even ask about such a big thing.
Hood replied with a blank face, "The old slave will tell me." β
Yan ate the closed door soup and left the Sijun Hall with hatred.
"Brother Huang." In the living room, Nangong Wuya was waiting for Nangong Wuyue, and the brothers met and were very affectionate.
Nangong Wuya quipped, "What kind of wind is blowing today, it actually blew you Wuyue." "In front of outsiders, the brothers still maintain the etiquette of kings and ministers, but in private they are still as friendly and unrestrained as they were children.
Nangong Wuyue put away her smile and said seriously, "Brother Huang, I came to the palace today for Sheng'er's family affairs. Dingwangfu and the Sheng family made a marriage contract as early as seventeen years ago, to marry Sheng Zilan as the princess, that Sheng Zilan is the person chosen by the royal brother, even if he is not worthy of Sheng'er, I also admit it. β
"But Sheng'er didn't know when she fell in love with other girls, and I was asked by my imperial uncle to give me a holy decree to marry, and the name on the holy decree was not Sheng Zilan, but Sheng Zimo. Now Sheng'er brought back the girl, claiming that she was Sheng Xiang's eldest daughter, and forced it into the Sheng family, but Sheng Xiang didn't admit it. Today, for this matter, the court is almost overturned by those people. β
"Sheng'er said that the reason why he tricked me into giving him and the girl a marriage was because of the emperor's consent. Brother Huang, tell me, who will be your daughter-in-law? β
Nangong Wuya stroked his beard and laughed, "I said Wuyue, you just made a special trip to my Dingwang Mansion for such a trivial matter?" β
Nangong Wuyue listened to his brother's relaxed tone, and had an answer in his heart, it seems that this matter is indeed approved by the imperial brother, otherwise Sheng'er's kid wouldn't dare to deceive him, what he was worried about was that the kid was hiding from the imperial brother to do big things, and he was not good at giving the imperial brother an errand, "Imperial brother, since you recognized Sheng Zilan as your daughter-in-law back then, how could you accept Sheng Zimo now?" β
Nangong Wuya smiled, "Sheng'er likes it!" What else could it be? β
Seeing that Nangong Wuyue didn't believe it, Nangong Wuya continued, "The agreement made for my brother and the Sheng family back then was to marry the eldest lady of the Sheng family as the princess of Sheng'er, not Sheng Zilan. Sheng Zimo died of smallpox, Sheng Zilan became the eldest lady, and naturally took the name of Sheng'er's future princess. But by chance, Sheng'er found that Sheng Zimo was not dead, but was rescued, although she was deaf and dumb, but Sheng'er liked it, and the agreement was made first, so he could only agree to this family affair as a brother. β
"Are you really deaf and dumb?" Nangong Wuyue shook his head, his expression became extremely solemn, "Brother Huang, Sheng'er is the only seedling of the Dingwang Mansion and the bloodline of my Nangong family, how can he marry a deaf and dumb woman as the princess?" He doesn't feel wronged, and I am wronged for him? β
"That's his choice." Nangong Wuya sighed lightly, thought of what happened twenty years ago, and said, "After all these years, haven't you seen it clearly?" In this world, unless you are willing, no matter how good a person is, it is just a decoration in front of you. For my brother, I don't want Sheng'er to follow our old path. β
Nangong Wuyue was speechless, so she could only agree to this family business, "In this case, I will send Sheng Zimo back to the Sheng family for my brother, and let her marry Sheng'er in a beautiful manner." β
......
Hall of Joy.
When Yan got the news, he was so angry that he dropped the vase in the living room, "Nonsense! It's nonsense! Come on, quickly invite the prince to the Huanyan Palace! β
She was about to be by this father and son! A long-lived Sijun Palace, and she was not allowed to see each other for twenty years. A good lady of the Sheng family who was deliberately against her did not marry, but went to marry a wild girl with an unclear identity and unknown origin. What she couldn't bear the most was that the wild girl was still deaf and dumb!
Since this incident has alarmed the emperor and the ministers of the court, it will naturally spread in Kyoto soon, and where will the face of the Dingwang Mansion be placed at that time? Where does her face go?
At the moment, I can only hope that King Lao Ding will persuade the emperor to oppose this family business! After all, Sheng Zilan is his daughter-in-law, and she is quite satisfied with Sheng Zilan.
When Nangong Sheng appeared in the Huanyan Palace, what he saw was a mess, but everything that could be thrown or thrown was not reshaped.
When Yan saw his figure, the accumulated anger erupted, "You evil obstacle! Get on my knees! β
Nangong Sheng stood in place, as if he hadn't heard anything, "Sheng thinks he hasn't done anything wrong. β
"Didn't do anything wrong?" Yan Shi pointed at Nangong Sheng and shouted, "You made your own decision to find a wild girl to pretend to be the daughter of the Sheng family in a vain attempt to marry into the Dingwang Mansion, is this called doing nothing wrong?" You abandoned Zilan and caused her to lose her reputation, is this called doing anything wrong? β
Nangong Sheng remained calm, and his expression did not change, "First, Zimo is indeed the daughter of the Sheng family, and no one can change it; second, it was the Sheng family's daughter who had a marriage contract with Sheng, not Sheng Zilan; Third, has Sheng Ke admitted that she Sheng Zilan is his fiancΓ©e over the years? Have you ever mentioned marrying her into the door? All this is just her delusion! β
"Get out of here! Your father and I will never agree to this! "Yan doesn't want to continue to waste her tongue, she wants to go to Sijun Palace, even if the knife is on her neck this time, she will break in. She wants the old prince to come forward and cut off this ridiculous family business.
Nangong Sheng turned around and stepped out of the living room, and before leaving, he dropped a sentence, "Father has agreed to this matter!" β
In a word, Yan was knocked to the ground.
He agreed to it!
What did they take her for? Furnishings?
