Duan Qingming raised his eyes and saw Du Qingluan's face full of gratitude and sincerity. Duan Qingming was slightly moved, she backhanded, held Du Qingluan's hand, and said: "Mother, as long as you are happy, as long as you can give birth to a younger brother or sister safely, it is the best thank you to Qingming!" ”

Due to Liu Rong's dictatorship for several years, the heirs of Duan Fu are thin, and those who were not born have all been strangled in the cradle, so far, there are only Duan Qingming and Duan Yu, plus Duan Yulan's three sisters and brothers, which makes Duan Zheng's heart a thorn for many years. Now, Du Qingluan is finally happy again, and Duan Qingming seems to see the dawn and hope of the prosperity of Duanfu people.

And as the eldest daughter of Duan Mansion, she naturally hopes that she can have more younger brothers or sisters, and with the training and influence of people like Du Qingluan, she will definitely not be as disappointing as Duan Yulan!

Listening to Duan Qingming's words, Du Qingluan's tears fell in a long line, she nodded vigorously, as if she couldn't say anything!

Duan Qingming and Du Qingluan were on the street at this time, originally wanting to board the carriage, but at this moment, a loud and joyful voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Aunt Duan, Qingming, why are you here?" ”

Duan Qingming turned her head and saw Xue Zixuan walking quickly from the other side of the street, and when she saw her, she greeted happily!

Duan Qingming let go of Du Qingluan, smiled at Xue Zixuan, and said, "Brother Xue is good...... How did you end up here? ”

Xue Zixuan pointed behind him and said, "Brother Liu and I met by chance, so I sat down for a while!" ”

Brother Liu, Gongzi Liu? Liu Yuan?

Duan Qingming looked behind Xue Zixuan, only to see Liu Yuan's handsome and lonely face presented in front of Duan Qingming. He didn't come as quickly as Xue Zixuan, but stepped forward step by step, and first landed towards the village Qingluan: "Aunt Duan is good!" ”

Du Qingluan looked at Liu Yuan and Xue Zixuan and laughed: "What a coincidence, two! ”

Xue Zixuan glanced at Liu Yuan, and said in his heart, where is this coincidence, it is clear that they are waiting for Duan Qingming there!

And Liu Yuan followed Du Qingluan's words and nodded: "Yes, %......"

Duan Qingming saw that Xue Zixuan seemed to have something to say, and she said a little strangely: "By the way, Brother Xue, what about Ning Lan?" ”

Xue Zixuan's face was a little solemn, and he said to Duan Qingming a little evasively, "Ning Lan is fine...... It's just that, Qingming, are you sure you want to go back to Duanfu now? Can you not go back first? ”

Duan Qingming said a little strangely: "I don't go back now, when will I go back?" ”

Duan Qingming looked at Xue Zixuan's solemn face, and Liu Yuan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, her heart couldn't help but move, she hurriedly asked, "Is there something going on in the house?" ”

Duan Qingming could see that the two of them obviously didn't meet here by chance, but were waiting for her here. And when Xue Zixuan asked such a thing, he was clearly telling her that something had happened to Duan Fu, and besides, this matter was definitely related to her!

Liu Yuan and Xue Zixuan glanced at each other and said, "Don't hide it from Qing Ming, Prince Qingduo is in the Duan Mansion, waiting to announce the decree to Qing Ming!" ”

When Duan Qingming heard this, his eyes immediately widened and he said, "Declare? What purpose? ”

She Duan Qingming is just an ordinary woman, neither an official nor an official, and she doesn't have a big background and backstage, how can there be a holy decree waiting to be announced to her? Isn't there something wrong?

It was Liu Yuan who spoke this time, and he smiled bitterly: "Strictly speaking, it is the will to give you a marriage - this morning, His Majesty pointed out a marriage letter to the eldest prince Yan Lingjue as a side concubine!" ”

The Great Prince?

Yan Lingjue? Moreover, is it still a side concubine?

After saying a word, you want to give her to the eldest prince as a side concubine?

When Duan Qingming heard this, she only felt that her body shook and she almost fell!

How so? How so?

Isn't Yan Lingjue under house arrest? Wasn't he locked up after his affair with Ao Han, the prince of another country, was revealed? But now, it's only been a few days, and he can actually get out and not stop alone, and he also invited the will to give marriage?

Seeing Duan Qingming's pale face, Xue Zixuan hurriedly held on. And Liu Yuan stood on the side, looking at Duan Qingming with some worry, unable to say anything!

Seeing Duan Qingming's face, Du Qingluan on one side was also very shocked, she grabbed Liu Yuan and said, "Liu Xian's nephew? What's going on? Why don't we know at all, why is this a marriage? ”

Yes, even if the emperor gives marriage, it can't be so arbitrary, at least, it is necessary to inform the parents of others, and then give a marriage letter, and this matter is not something that can be completed in a day or two, from the emperor's marriage to the announcement of the will, it is usually separated by ten days and half a month, or three or two months, and now, it is actually said that the marriage is given.

Because, no one has ever mentioned this matter, even Duan Zheng has never mentioned it, now, what is this? A marriage letter gives a woman's life?

Liu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I also just learned about this matter. It seems that I heard that the eldest prince has reached the age of marriage, today, His Majesty pointed out the marriage on the spot, and the eldest prince took the opportunity to ask Qingming to be the side concubine, and His Majesty actually agreed! Then, he made a holy decree on the spot, saying that he would marry on the spot! ”

Xue Zixuan was on the side and said in a low voice: "Also, it is said that the eldest prince will be the best candidate for the crown prince, and the first prince ceremony will be held soon, now, he is in the limelight, what does he want, who can do anything with him?" ”

In fact, this matter has spread, and everyone said that after the eldest prince was banned this time, he was released in a blink of an eye, and the matter of canonizing the crown prince was put on the agenda. This made everyone more or less guess and curious about the affairs of the imperial court.

However, politics is politics. He never cares about the will of the people or the will of the minority, and when it is about to be carried out, he will not hesitate for the slightest.

Just like now, the matter of the eldest prince has been put on the agenda, and I believe that under the discussion of those ministers, it will soon be decided!

The second prince Yan Lingrui was imprisoned for reasons that everyone didn't know, the third prince Yan Lingyu is now missing, and the eldest prince has the full support of the queen mother and the queen behind him, and the historian is even more helpful, so which one is the position of this prince, which one is it?

So, now, the limelight is turning, and there is no need to even speculate about who will fall.

Duan Qingming naturally didn't know about these things, but Duan Qingming didn't know, it didn't mean that Xue Zixuan and Liu Yuan didn't know, both of them grew up with these things like politics. As soon as you see the limelight, you will know what's going on!

Xue Zixuan knew that there were some things that she couldn't say to Duan Qingming, but there were other things that Duan Qingming had to know, so that she wouldn't end up with a loss and not even know whose hands she had eaten!

Xue Zixuan glanced left and right, lowered his voice and said to Duan Qingming: "Or, Qingming, you better hide for a while...... You know, if you don't go home, this holy decree will naturally not be able to be read, so let's hide from it today...... Moreover, if you don't want to marry the eldest prince, you must not go back now! ”

When Du Qingluan heard this, he also said worriedly: "Yes, Qingming, you better avoid it first, but don't touch this nail!" ”

Liu Yuan also said on the side: "Yes, Qingming, as long as you don't go back now, everything still has room to turn......

Duan Qingming lowered her head, looked at the tips of her shoes, and listened to everyone gossiping to help her come up with ideas, and after a while, she raised her head, looked at everyone silently, and said in an extremely resolute tone: "No, I'm not going anywhere, I'm going home!" ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he was stunned: "Qingming, are you willing to marry the eldest prince as a side concubine?" ”

The eldest prince Yan Lingjue coveted Duan Qingming for a day or two, and Duan Qingming didn't like this so-called His Royal Highness the Great Prince at all, some time ago, Yan Lingjue was flawless, Duan Qingming was still living a good life in peace, no, as soon as he was free, he put this matter on the agenda!

When Xue Zixuan heard this, he also pulled Duan Qingming and said, "Qingming, are you crazy?" Do you know that the holy decree can never be reversed, and if you go back now, you will be caught in the net, even ...... I can't save you! ”

Xue Zixuan originally wanted to say, "Even His Royal Highness the Third Prince can't save you", but when he thought that Yan Lingyu had no news now, Xue Zixuan changed the topic.

Du Qingluan did not speak. She looked at Duan Qingming with some worry, but she hoped that Duan Qingming would make some bad decisions!

Duan Qingming sneered slightly, she looked at everyone, and asked, "If I don't go back, where can I go?" ”

In a word, everyone was stunned.

Yes, even if Duan Qingming doesn't go back now, where can she go back?

You know, Duanfu is her home, if she can't go back to this home, where can she go to a weak woman's family? The shore of the leader, if it is not the king's land, the emperor's holy decree, even if she hides to the ends of the earth, what is the use?

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Duan Qingming said slowly: "As the saying goes, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime. What's more, if I leave, what will happen if the eldest prince comes to make it difficult for my family? The father is an official in the court, and he can't get out, and the mother is pregnant, and it is inconvenient to go in and out, where can they go? If you are for my own sake, and you are involved with them, then what difference does it make with me? ”

Liu Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "But, Qingming, have you thought about it?" If you go back now, Qingduo will be waiting for you there, as long as you go back, Qingduo will announce the holy decree in his hand, and you can receive this will, and if you don't accept it, you must also receive it...... Have you ever thought that with the Holy Decree, you will never be able to return to heaven! ”
