Chapter 462: Intrigues
On the second day of returning to Yongjing City, Hua Yaozong took Hua Qingying to put on an official uniform and went to the court, although the summer days are long, but the sun has just emerged, and Hua Yaozong's father and son have already gone out.
Both of them are military generals, guarding the border all year round, and there are really not many opportunities to go to the court, so they are a little novel. The market is sparsely populated, and the vendors who have come out of their stalls have not yet risen. The two rode horses and leisurely strolled to Xuanwu Gate.
Xuanwumen is the place where the ministers gathered before the last dynasty, and there were already many ministers here when the Hua family father and son arrived. The sedan chair of the civil official and the horse of the military attache are clearly distinguished in Xuanwumen. The palace door had not yet opened, and the ministers were waiting at the door, discussing in groups, faintly forming a small group.
"Yo, it's all here!" Hua Yaozong turned over and dismounted, led his horse and said with a smile, "Yo, Qin Xiang, Lord Xu, you are all here!" Yo, isn't this General Shangguan, it's been a long time. Hua Yaozong greeted him in a circle, as if he had a good relationship with everyone.
As everyone knows, because of the arrival of Hua Yaozong's father and son, the adults who were originally talking happily were suddenly as quiet as chickens, and the few people who were brought out by Hua Yaozong alone looked even more strange.
"Hua Yaozong!" Qin Xiang's face was calm, and his tone seemed to be slightly unkind.
Everyone looked at each other, how could they think that this Qin Xiang had an enmity with Hua Yaozong? Everyone recalled Qin Xiang's words against Hua Qingyan three times and twice in the court. They all felt as if they had touched something.
"Qin Xiang, now it should be called Marshal Hua." Lord Xu walked up to Hua Yaozong with a smile, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "See Lord Hou!" ”
Hua Yaozong hurriedly held Lord Xu's hand and made him straighten up: "Lord Xu is polite, my Hou Ye escaped death and exchanged the lives of my whole family for it." Hua Yaozong said, casually glancing at the Han family who was standing not far away.
Master Xu smiled again: "No matter what the process is, this result is good." So, I still want to congratulate the Hou Ye, by the way, I don't know how the marriage between the county lord of Huixin and Prince Rui was discussed? ”
Hua Yaozong, a former sinner who collaborated with the enemy and treason, was rehabilitated and became a loyal and brave marquis and generalissimo, and also became a family member with the royal family, and became a master! This is an enviable thing for all ministers! Life is so full of ups and downs, and the final result is so envious of others, that everyone wants to give it a try.
"I don't know yet." Hua Yaozong waved his hand and said, "Where can I intervene in the prince's marriage, everything is handed over to the prince, and our family is also waiting for the prince's notice." ”
"I heard that Ling Qianjin had a marriage contract before, right, Master Hou?" Qin Xiang suddenly interjected.
The faces of all the adults became strange again, and they all sighed, Qin Xiang was really keen to go against Hua Yaozong! However, all the adults looked at Hua Yaozong in unison, and they couldn't help but feel a little gloating in their hearts.
The sound of the carriage sounded behind the ministers, and the ministers subconsciously turned around, and saw the carriage printed with the family emblem of Prince Rui's mansion slowly driving over, and finally landed behind Qin Xiang. A corner of the curtain was lifted, revealing a small half of Yunshu's inky face.
I heard Yun Shumo say in a light tone: "This king's family affairs don't bother Qin Xiang. ”
Qin Xiang's mouth trembled, but he didn't dare to refute.
The adults present plucked their ears as if they hadn't heard, Prince Rui said this, but Ming Huanghuang was saying that Qin Xiang was nosy!
Everyone thought of Qin Xiang's granddaughter who was rejected by Prince Rui in public, and they all felt that Qin Xiang's family was pitiful, and they couldn't get into Prince Rui's eyes, and they were so humiliated. I heard that the girl is still waiting for the boudoir, With Prince Rui's appearance, I am afraid that I can only marry low.
The eyes of all the adults were turning back and forth on Qin Xiang, Hua Yaozong, and Prince Rui, and the deep meaning in their eyes and what they were thinking in their minds were only known to them.
In fact, they all knew in their hearts that the emperor gave Yun Shumo and Hua Qingyan a marriage, which seemed to be to make up for their Hua family and win over their Hua family, but the real reason was that Yun Shumo himself was very satisfied with Hua Qingyan. After all, Yun Shumo is the regent, as long as he doesn't nod himself, let alone the emperor, even the emperor can't interfere in Yun Shumo's family affairs.
With the Hua family's rise to power, people with a heart naturally found out the things that Hua Qingyan did in the backing village, there are many ghost ideas, and the means of making money are endless, and the royal family has such a princess, I am afraid that this is good!
And since Yun Shumo is very satisfied with Hua Qingyan, he must not mind Hua Qingyan's previous marriage contract. Besides, it's just a marriage contract, before Hua Qingyan and that business were melodious, they didn't get married or hired anything, Hua Qingyan was still an innocent person. Qin Xiang wanted to make a fuss about this matter, and he didn't have any chance of winning at all.
After so many years in the officialdom and camp, these officials have already learned to observe words and feelings, and even more so, they tend to be inflammatory. One by one, they gathered around Hua Yaozong and Yun Shumo, as if they wanted to take out the auspicious words and congratulatory words they had seen in their lives.
Hua Yaozong is a military general, disdainful of these bellied and flowery civil officials, he hooked his lips and sneered a few times, and then pulled his son to stand aside. And Yun Shumo didn't even get off the carriage, and the curtain was lowered, as if he didn't want to talk to anyone.
The ministers were bored with themselves, touched their noses and retreated to the side, and it happened that the closed Xuanwu Gate was opened. The ministers stepped back again and let the palace gate out.
"Lord Wang, please!"
Yun Shumo's carriage didn't move, he knocked on the wall of the carriage, "Marshal, prince, get on the car." ”
There was silence, and all the ministers looked at Hua Yaozong and Hua Qingying in surprise, they didn't expect that Prince Rui would invite them to ride together!
Entering from the Xuanwu Gate, it is the imperial city of Daqi. The palace is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for the sedan chair of the civil official and the horse of the military attache to pass through the Xuanwu Gate, so from the Xuanwu Gate to the Wende Hall of the government, the ministers can only walk over. Of course, there are special cases in this, such as the elderly Qin Xiang, and Prince Rui, who has always had privileges!
Since the first emperor, Prince Rui's carriage and his horse are not in the scope of the curfew!
And since Yun Shumo went to the court to discuss politics, his carriage has never taken anyone else!
Now Yun Shumo is actually the one who personally invited the Hua family, how can this not surprise the ministers!
Now they are not only envious of this flower family, but it is definitely a supreme honor to be able to win the eyes of Prince Rui! The luck of the flower family is so good that people are jealous!
However, Hua Yaozong is not stupid, he knows that Yun Shumo is kind and supports them, but this sentence is enough, now that the Hua family has returned to this Tianzi, the limelight is too big, in order to avoid those unnecessary troubles, Hua Yaozong decided to avoid the edge for the time being.
"Thank you for the kindness of the prince, Weichen finally returned to this Yongjing, and if he wants to enjoy the long-lost scenery in the imperial city, he will not be with the prince."
Hua Yaozong's refusal surprised all the ministers, and their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.
Riding in the same carriage with Prince Rui, what an honor, Hua Yaozong actually refused with such a high-sounding reason! Everyone couldn't help but look at Hua Yaozong, full of pity for him, even if you are Prince Rui's father-in-law in the future, so what? Now that Prince Rui is angry, it is absolutely impossible for the matter to end so easily!
Yun Shumo, who could be refused, just snorted lightly, then knocked on the wall of the carriage, and let the coachman drive the carriage into the palace gate, until he disappeared from everyone's sight, without saying a word, those ministers who were looking forward to Hua Yaozong and Yun Shumo falling out, were stunned but deeply puzzled.
The relationship between Hua Yaozong and Prince Rui is really so good that even if he is rejected, the prince will not be angry?
The ministers will never know that as early as before, Hua Yaozong and Yun Shumo had sat in a carriage together, not to mention a carriage, and they lived in the same courtyard a lot.
Seeing that the time was not early, and the things they couldn't figure out didn't allow them to think about at this time, they walked into the Xuanwu Gate one by one, and walked towards the Wende Hall in groups of three or five.
Hua Yaozong led Hua Qingying a few steps behind, and after a while, someone followed behind him, "Master Hou!" ”
"In-laws!" Hua Yaozong patted Lord Le on the shoulder, "Don't call me Master Hou, our friendship can not be so polite, calling me Master Hou seems to be estranged." ”
Master Le smiled and changed his name from the good, "Brother Hua!" ”
"Father-in-law." Seeing that Master Le looked over, Hua Qingying hurriedly bowed her hand and said respectfully.
Master Le sighed and patted Hua Qingying's shoulder again: "Okay, okay, it's all a family, and you are not so formal." Lord Le carefully looked at Hua Qing Yingzai, and saw that he was in good spirits and had no physical problems, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "You don't know, how excited I was when I learned the news that you were still alive from Le Yao's girl, and finally God had eyes, so that you all came back safely, and you also had today's achievements because of the blessing of misfortune." ”
"I'd rather not have this achievement." Hua Yaozong smiled bitterly, "Now that the lady and daughter-in-law haven't been found, I can't be happy." ”
As soon as these words came out, Hua Qingying and Master Le were silent, one was thinking about his wife, and the other was thinking about his daughter, how could he speak.
Seeing this, Hua Yaozong comforted again: "Don't worry, don't worry, the prince said that they are still alive." The prince is full of words, and his words are naturally credible. We'll get people there as soon as we can. ”
"I naturally believe in the prince." Lord Le smiled, although there was still sorrow on his face, it was much lighter than when Hua Yaozong and the others had an accident.
Hua Qingying said on the side: "Father-in-law, when I find time to take the children to the house to see you, both of them miss you too." ”
"Good, good! Very good! Thinking of the two little grandchildren, Lord Le's smile finally became happy.
