Chapter XXVII
The next day, the news of the marriage spread throughout the Aoyu Kingdom, and the first talented woman Nangong Zixuan and the first beautiful male Xian Prince naturally became the focus of the discussion.
In Prince Xian's mansion, Zhuge Chen said: "Second master, although this marriage grant has calmed down the rumors outside, how can the emperor let you marry the fourth lady of Nangong Mansion as a concubine?" ”
Ao Tianqi said firmly: "It is estimated that this holy decree of marriage is not the meaning of the father, but the meaning of the queen!" ”
Zhuge Chen said: "It makes sense, otherwise why are you so afraid of entering the palace to face the saint!" The emperor's situation is worrying! ”
Aotian Qi said: "The prince first spread rumors, and then united with the queen to issue this holy decree, it is estimated that it has been premeditated a long time ago." Knowing that I'm a childhood sweetheart with Xue'er, isn't the purpose of doing this just to provoke my relationship with the right minister! I didn't expect that I would resist the decree, so I came out like this! ”
Zhuge Chen said: "This prince really can't wait, I don't know what tricks they want to play this time!" ”
Ao Tianqi frowned tightly and said, "I think it's definitely not as simple as giving marriage!" They must still be planning something. ”
Zhuge Chen said: "Then we can only see the moves, but what are you going to do with Xue'er?" ”
Aotian Qi said: "I have my own arrangements!" ”
Zhuge Chen looked at Ao Tianqi's preoccupied appearance, so he didn't ask much.
In the right minister's mansion, Shangguan Xue'er locked herself in her room for a day and a night after learning about the marriage last night, without eating, drinking, crying or making trouble. The anxious right minister kept wandering outside the door, coercing and luring, but Shangguan Xue'er just didn't open the door.
Just when the right minister was so angry that he wanted to smash the door open, a family member ran over and said, "Master, Prince Xian asks to see!" ”
When the right minister heard this, he said, "Let him wait in the hall, and I'll be there later." The family replied and retreated.
Right to Shangguan Xue'er's door said, "Xue'er, even if you don't open the door, you have to eat something!" Daddy like you will feel distressed. Shangguan Xue'er still didn't react.
The right minister sighed, this baby daughter was really spoiled by him, and he didn't want Prince Xian to wait too long, so he had to continue: "Xue'er, Daddy has passed in advance, and I will come to see you later." With that, he walked in the direction of the hall.
Ao Tianqi drank tea for a while, and saw the right minister coming over with a sad face, and hurriedly stood up and said to the right minister: "Lord right minister, but Xue'er is in a mood!" ”
Right Xiang said: "Tianqi, you also know Xue'er's temper, except for you, no one can persuade her." ”
Ao Tianqi said: "It's all because Tianqi is not good, if you don't wait for Xue'er and Lu to be directly included in the mansion, there will be no situation like today." ”
Right Xiang said: "Tianqi, I can't blame you for this, I guess it's all the ghost idea of Zuo Xiangfeng, and I naturally know his purpose." And Tianqi, you I watched grow up, and I am also clear about my feelings for Xue'er, I'm afraid that Xue'er is really sad this time, and you also know her temperament, and she can't pull back ten cows after she can't pull them back! Go and persuade her now. ”
Aotian Qi said: "That day Qi retired first!" The right minister waved his hand, and Ao Tianqi walked to Shangguan Xue'er's room.
When he came to Shangguan Xue'er's room, Ao Tianqi said, "Xue'er, it's me!"
As soon as Shangguan Xue'er heard Ao Tianqi's voice, she ran to the door excitedly, and when she just wanted to open the door, she suddenly thought of something, put down her hand to open the door, and said angrily: "You are going to marry another woman as a concubine, why are you running here?" ”
Ao Tianqi said helplessly: "Xue'er, the position of the concubine in my heart has never been the only one!" This time it was my father's marriage, can I resist the decree? Even if I marry another woman as a concubine, it will be just an ornament in Prince Xian's mansion! There is no emotion at all! ”
Shangguan Xue'er said: "But I just want to be your concubine!" Brother Qi, you promised me a long time ago, you will marry me next year! ”
After a while, when Shangguan Xue'er thought that he didn't speak, Ao Tianqi suddenly said sadly: "Xue'er, isn't our relationship for so many years still as good as the false name of Concubine Zheng?" ”
When Shangguan Xue'er heard that sad tone, she suddenly became anxious and said, "Brother Qi, I didn't mean that, I just didn't want others to marry you so easily!" ”
Ao Tianqi said: "Even if she marries me first, she only has the false name of a second princess in Prince Xian's mansion, and the holy decree does not stipulate that I must spoil her, so let her live a lifetime in the palace with the empty house and the false name of the concubine." When Brother Qi marries you next year, you will be the real mistress of Prince Xian! ”
Shangguan Xue'er was coaxed to be happy at this time, hurriedly opened the door, and threw herself into Aotian Qi's arms and said: "It's Brother Qi, you said it yourself, you won't spoil her, and you must marry Xue'er next year!" ”
Aotian Qi touched her head dotingly and said, "When did Brother Qi deceive you, I will definitely marry you next year!" ”
Shangguan Xue'er smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, and looked forward to the picture of marrying Ao Tianqi in her mind, this scene appeared in her mind many times, maybe her wish could come true next year. Unbeknownst to her, this picture could only stay in her mind forever, and it would not appear once in the future, of course, this is a later story.
Nangong Mansion Bamboo Forest Garden, Xiao Dong said excitedly to Nangong Yi'er: "Miss, Nangong Mansion is going to have a big event in a few days!" ”
Nangong Yi'er yawned and replied indifferently: "That's a good thing." ”
Xiao Dong said: "Miss, you don't care about it!" The emperor gave marriage, the second miss is going to marry the prince as the crown princess, and the fourth miss is going to marry Prince Xian as the second princess! ”
Nangong Yi'er replied with a little interest: "It looks like it's really a happy event!" ”
Xiao Dong said: "It's not, it's the second lady who is the happiest, and many officials' wives and ladies have come to slap her!"
Nangong Yi'er said: "That's natural, both daughters are going to marry the prince, and her identity will not be ordinary in the future." ”
Xiao Dong said: "Yes! This time, Nangong Mansion held such a big happy event, and it is estimated that the young lady will also be invited to attend. ”
Nangong Yi'er said: "Even if you invite me to go, Miss Ben is really not uncommon!" ”
Xiao Dong also replied approvingly: "Miss is not rare, Xiao Dong is not rare, Xiao Dong will always be on Miss's side!" ”
Nangong Yi'er shook her head with a smile, thinking to herself, this girl's mind is really a tendon! But I don't know why, Nangong Yi'er felt a little uneasy about this marriage, and she couldn't tell what it was. Nangong Yi'er shook her head vigorously, maybe she was thinking too much, this Nangong Mansion couldn't do anything with her at all!
In the past few days, Nangong Mansion has been busy with these two wedding banquets. On the last night of marriage, the fourth lady of Nangong Mansion suddenly had a high fever, and Nangong Mansion was even more busy. Of course, this news was naturally told by Xiaodong to Nangong Yi'er, but even if it is a fever, this kiss will still be done tomorrow.
That night, an uninvited guest came to the Bamboo Forest Garden, and this person was the head of Nangong Mansion - Nangong Xu. Nangong Yi'er was also stunned for a moment when she saw him, but immediately calmed down and said: "Master Nangong, I don't know what kind of wind blew you here, my abandoned courtyard can't accommodate your big Buddha!" ”
Nangong Xu naturally heard Nangong Yi'er's cynicism, but when did his daughter, who had been snubbed by him for many years, become so bold, no one in Nangong Mansion dared to speak to him like this! So he said angrily: "You unfilial daughter, how can you talk to your father in such a tone!" ”
Nangong Yi'er laughed self-deprecatingly: "You are my father?" Is Master Nangong telling a joke! From the moment my Nangong Yi'er entered this abandoned courtyard, there was no such thing as a father! ”
In Nangong Xu's impression, these seven daughters have been timid and afraid of things since they were young, why do they seem to have changed today! Nangong Xu thought to himself, people say that this woman has changed eighteen times, and these seven daughters are estimated to have stayed in this abandoned hospital for a long time, so it is normal for her heart to change! However, he still has something to do, so he can't waste time, so he won't be as knowledgeable as Nangong Yi'er.
So he looked at Nangong Yi'er, who was covering her face with a veil, and said, "You will move to the front yard tonight, I have already arranged it!" Tomorrow will be your fourth sister's substitute! ”
When Nangong Yi'er heard this, she immediately said angrily: "Master Nangong, I think you are joking with the lives of more than 100 people in Nangong Mansion!" Dare to marry instead! Sooner or later, I'll be found out like this, and that's a big sin that will be beheaded all over the house! ”
Nangong Xu didn't seem to like to listen to this work, and said with a frown: "This kind of thing is not your responsibility, just marry me obediently tomorrow and marry Prince Xian!" The huge Prince Xian's mansion can still treat you badly. ”
Nangong Yi'er said in a resolute tone: "If you want to marry another Miss Nangong Mansion, I will definitely not marry!" The uneasiness in my heart gradually expanded, and I had already guessed that this might be a conspiracy! Maybe Miss Fourth isn't sick at all, otherwise......
Nangong Xu interrupted her thoughts, and said threateningly to this Nangong Yi'er, who had disobeyed him several times: "If you don't marry obediently tomorrow, but want to play any tricks, you will never want to see your nurse and Yahuan Xiaodong!" ”
This really caught Nangong Yier's weakness, and in the face of his own father who threatened him, Nangong Yi'er had the last trace of expectation for him, and disappeared without a trace!
This naked threat really worked, and Nangong Yi'er thought about why she hadn't seen Xiaodong and the nurse for most of the day, and it turned out that she was detained by Nangong Xu! Nangong Yi'er is now completely passive, but who is she! She is a business genius of Ao Yuguo, how could she let herself lose so badly!
So he said resolutely: "It seems that you came prepared!" It's okay for me to marry, but I must let my personal maid Xiaodong marry! Otherwise, I'm not afraid of getting a fish to death! ”
Nangong Xu thought about it for a while, if he really wanted to break the net, it wouldn't be a bad plan! So he said: "This condition depends on you, anyway, the nurse you care about the most is in my hands, and I don't see if you can't play any tricks!" Hum! After speaking, he turned his head and shook his sleeves and left.
Nangong Yi'er was so angry that she rushed into the room and swept all the things on the table to the ground! I thought to myself that this substitute marriage had completely disrupted her plan to find the crystal key, and this substitute marriage didn't seem to be a good thing! The most hateful thing is that how can she have such a father, she is really declining!
After a while, Yahuan Xiaodong came back, her eyes were red from crying, and she said to Nangong Yi'er: "Miss, why don't you change the nurse back, but let Xiaodong come out!" ”
Nangong Yi'er still said uncertainly: "What's going on with Xiao Dong, were you locked up before?" ”
Xiao Dong replied aggrievedly: "Yes, when I went to work, I was inexplicably caught in a room by several family members. Later, I found out that there was a nurse inside, and I learned from the nurse that it turned out that we were arrested because of the young lady! Later, he released me and said that he wanted to marry the young lady, and he immediately understood! It turned out that the fourth lady was seriously ill and asked the young lady to marry instead! ”
Nangong Yi'er said: "It is absolutely impossible to get Nangong Xu to agree to let the nurse go, so I retreated and asked him to put you back first, because your young lady didn't want to marry alone, so she had selfish intentions to let Xiaodong marry you, but do you blame your young lady?" ”
Xiao Dong shook his head vigorously and replied: "Miss let Xiao Dong follow, that is Xiao Dong's blessing!" How could Xiao Dong blame Miss! ”
Nangong Yi'er touched Xiao Dong's head, and suddenly said seriously: "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for this substitute marriage, your young lady still can't bear to let you take the risk, there is still time, Xiao Dong can take the opportunity to escape to Sister Wuyue immediately, if you don't have any silver, you can take this blood jade wrench, you can go to the Flower House and the Famous Hall Clinic to get the silver, you know!" After speaking, he handed Xiao Dong this wrench.
Xiao Dong refused to accept this wrench, and at this time, the tears that were moved flowed more fiercely, and he choked up and said: "Miss, Xiao Dong is not going anywhere, Xiao Dong has already sworn to follow Miss forever, begging Miss not to drive Xiao Dong away!" After saying that, he began to cry.
Nangong Yi'er frowned and said, "Xiaodong, don't be willful!" This is no joke! If this substitute is found, everyone has to die, and no one wants to live! ”
Xiao Dong seemed to be determined this time, Nangong Yi'er couldn't listen to any persuasion, and in the end, a little guy came to urge him, telling Nangong Yi'er to move back to the front yard quickly, Nangong Yi'er said speechlessly: "Xiao Dong, it's too late for you to run now, your brain is really a tendon!" ”
Xiao Dong seemed to be very happy, and replied: "Miss, Xiao Dong just won't leave, even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire, Xiao Dong will follow Miss to break through!" ”
Nangong Yi'er only shook her head, since this girl is not even afraid of death, she has no choice. So the master and servant simply packed up their burdens and went back to the front yard of Nangong Mansion.
