CHAPTER XLIV
Compared with when Emperor Yin was alive, this Halloween is even better. Some people who read can't help but sigh that Shangguan Jun is a talent for governing the world. In just a few years, the Central Plains Dynasty was politically clear, the people were stable, and the economy was booming. Although there are occasional wars, it is not easy to win the hearts of the people in this way.
In the early dynasties, Yin Jingchen wore fancy clothes and accepted the bows of the ministers together with Shangguan Jun, and the two did not communicate during this period. Even when she was scattered, she tripped over the gorgeous clothes and almost fell, but he didn't give a little help. Jing Chen looked at his figure walking away quickly, and felt hurt. I'm afraid he also feels tormented when he is with her. She said that she was sick and did not attend the dinner, and the whole process was presided over by Concubine Yin.
Shangguan Jun accepted the congratulatory gifts from the ministers and was very pleased to see this peaceful color. swept away the decadence of many days, and also became pleasant. The congratulatory gift given by Chen Yin was a hand-embroidered picture of longevity, which won his heart. Yin Jingchen gave a piece of porcelain, and he knew that this was the right time. How could she have the time to prepare a congratulatory gift for him, and Lu Ming's matter was probably enough to make her worry. When it comes to Lu Ming, his anger doesn't come to one place. Looking at the porcelain vase, he was bored, but he still wanted to pretend to be happy.
Guan Liren and the soldiers performed a Taiping drum as a congratulatory gift, and everyone present cheered. Shangguan Jun was overjoyed and ordered a heavy reward. Fang Yaping danced the sword to cheer up, and brought the birthday greetings of the people of Dali to the emperor. Shangguan Jun was overjoyed and ordered someone to reward him again. Fang Yaping knelt down and thanked him.
"Enlightenment, long live, don't reward the minister."
The crowd was in an uproar.
Shangguan Jun didn't blame it, and asked patiently, "Oh? Why? ”
"The minister begs the emperor for one thing."
The crowd was in an uproar, this was a reward that they didn't look down on the emperor and asked for something else..... Isn't that an inch?
Shangguan Jun Weileng, Fang Yaping is the one who knows the most about current affairs, what is the so-called today? "Tell me about it"
"The minister begged the emperor to give ...... One person. ”
Shangguan Jun smiled, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who?"
Guan Liren couldn't stand it anymore and drank Fang Yaping.
"Fang Yaping, don't read the emperor's kindness to you, you have to inch in."
Fang Yaping knelt down and kowtowed, extremely firm.
"The minister begged the emperor to give the minister a marriage."
Everyone laughed again, even Guan Liren couldn't hold back, and scolded with a smile: "If you didn't say it earlier, I was scared to death by you." ”
"I, promise you, I don't know which young lady here fell into General Fang's eyes?"
"Your Majesty, that woman is not a young lady from an official eunuch's family, but a big girl next to the queen's mother, Wutong."
Hearing Wutong, Shangguan Jun hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Xingyun who was standing not far away beside him, and saw that his expression was as usual, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Sycamore, I'm afraid..... Why is she and who she is....."
"The minister fell in love with him at first sight and asked the emperor to fulfill it."
"Yes, I will marry you."
"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Fang Yaping was about to jump up excitedly, but was blocked by Guan Liren's white eye.
At this time, Li Xingyun's heart trembled the moment he heard Wutong. He pretended to be calm again, he was afraid that he would accidentally leak his heart and make the emperor in a dilemma.
However, why is it Wutong, Niangniang had intentionally revealed that she wanted to be the master for him and Wutong, and at that time the emperor was not stable, how could he have the heart to start a family. vetoed, and then Wutong always showed goodwill, he pretended not to understand, he was not stupid, how could he not understand her heart, she is such a jealous and hateful woman, who would not like it. He really didn't want to mistake her. But she waited for so many years, and he still mistook her.
Wutong was given marriage, she was the last to know, that night some of the palace maids and eunuchs on errands saw her and congratulated her, she was inexplicable, grabbed the palace maid next to her and asked: "Why do you want to congratulate me, what happened?" ”
The little palace maid smiled and bowed down and replied, "The emperor gave you to a general at the birthday banquet, and this matter has spread all over the palace, and I am afraid that the decree will be announced tomorrow." ”
"A general, which general is it, why don't I know it."
Seeing Wutong's surprised look, the little palace maid thought that she didn't believe it, and replied with big eyes and doubts: "It's General Fang Yaping, the governor of Dali, doesn't my aunt know General Fang, I ..... How...... I heard that General Fang fell in love with his aunt at first sight. The little girl was unhappy when she saw Wutong, and she only promised. Respond carefully.
Wutong is like falling into the abyss, he has only heard of this name, but he has never met him, how to give marriage, and how to fall in love at first sight? No, she must figure it out, she wants to find Li Xingyun, she wants to make it clear to him face to face, who her heart is beating for, and where her love is, he couldn't be clearer.
She hurriedly left the queen's palace and went straight to the Chengqian Palace, Li Xingyun was on duty, she ran to him and wanted to confess to him face to face. Li Xingyun rejected her confession on the grounds that she was on duty and did not talk about private affairs. She waited for him to take over. Li Xingyun looked at Wutong standing in the distance, with such a firm attitude, he knew that he couldn't hide. In this case, he made it clear to him that he wanted her to die.
"What's the matter with me?"
Seeing that he was finally willing to talk to her, Wutong saw a glimmer of hope and plucked up courage. "The Emperor's Marriage...... I don't know Fang Yaping. ”
He believed everything Wutong said, he just believed her, but he still had to pretend not to care, and made up his mind, "What does it have to do with me?" ”
Wutong looked at him with an indifferent look, and was angry: "Li Xingyun, what do you mean, do you believe me, or you...... I don't understand what I'm thinking. ”
"The emperor's decree has been issued, you are already the general's wife, what else do you have to say when you come here."
"I don't want to do anything like Mrs. General." Wutong let out, "My heart has always belonged to you. You are not stupid, you will not understand my heart, today I just want you to have an attitude, if you agree, I will go to beg Niangniang, let us out of the palace, if you don't agree, I will cut my hair and become a nun, never marry. ”
Li Xingyun could see Wutong's firmness and endure the pain, and sneered: "With Niangniang's situation today, she has no time for her to take care of, but you still have to embarrass her?" If you don't marry today, it's to resist the will, and your mother can't get out of it. Emperor Yu was even more discredited. What's more, Dali is an important border town for me, and the emperor's dependence on Fang Yaping is only a lot more, in order to win people's hearts, as long as Fang Yaping is not too excessive, the emperor will agree, not to mention a palace maid. At the beginning, didn't Princess Ying also have to marry Dong Yulin after seeing it clearly, and now you should be happy, glad that you still have the value of being used. ”
Li Xingyun's words, like a slap in the face, woke up Wutong. She can't be sorry for her mother, and she can't be sorry for the court. She is a woman, how can she ever think about the affairs of her family and country, all she wants is to win the hearts of one person. But it didn't fulfill people's wishes. The only person she can be sorry for is herself, she looked at Li Xingyun again, the man in front of her was the person she had in mind, they had a quarrel together, and they matched the emperor and the mother together. Teasing too much of Xianlong together. Seeing that the old days will be gone forever.
Wutong staggered back to the queen's hall, and before entering the hall, she wiped away the tears on her face and pretended to be indifferent. Seeing Jing Chen combing his hair, he snatched it.
"Niangniang, Wutong is waiting for you to comb your hair....."
"Aren't you fiddling around every day, isn't that enough?"
Wutong sniffed and said coquettishly: "How can it be enough, it is my honor to serve you." ”
"I'm used to coaxing me to be happy, where did I go, Mama Li has been looking for you for a long time."
"It's okay..... Niangniang, we haven't been to see the Queen Mother for a long time, and the slave wants to go to her old man's house and pray for the little princess by the way. ”
Jing Chen glanced at Wutong and smiled: "It's rare that you are so hearted, you go and ask Mama Li to prepare, and we will leave tomorrow." ”
She also wanted to go out for a walk, originally she wanted to go back to Junchen Palace, but it was just in time for the Halloween Festival, so she didn't want to show up, so she gave up. Take advantage of this opportunity to go out for a walk, staying in the palace is going to be stuffy.
Early the next morning, Wutong got up early to freshen up for Jing Chen, and Jing Chen inadvertently saw Wutong's red and swollen eyes through the bronze mirror and was surprised.
Jing Chen took Wutong's hand and asked with concern: "What's the matter, I've cried, who provoked it, Li Xingyun?" ”
"Niangniang, it's nothing, it's just that I drank more water yesterday, had nightmares, didn't sleep well, and my eyes were swollen." Sycamore wants to prevaricate the past.
Jing Chen didn't believe it, and chased after him, and at this time, the chief eunuch came to read the holy decree. Wutong's face was expressionless, kneeling to listen to the holy decree, and this moment still came.
"There is a first-class palace maid Wutong, gentle and virtuous, generous, and Dali Governor Fang Yaping Lang talented women, is a match made in heaven, specially sealed a product of the order of the lady, choose an auspicious day to get married. Chin this! ”
Wutong took the holy decree and thanked the emperor. Yin Jingchen stopped her.
"Wutong can't take this will, and I'm tired of my father-in-law to bring it back."
The old eunuch was quite embarrassed. "Niangniang, how can there be a reason to take back the holy decree, not to mention that resisting the decree is a great crime of deceiving the king, forgive the old slave for being incompetent, can't..."
"Okay, I won't embarrass you, you can go." Jing Chen sent people, snatched the holy decree from Wutong's hand and threw it out.
"Did you already know, why didn't you tell me, you can't accept this order, I don't agree, you are my person, he wants to be friendly, and I have to nod."
"Wutong thank you for your heart, the slave is willing to marry."
"Wutong," Jing Chen shouted angrily, "Is there anyone in your heart that I don't invite Chu, Shangguan Jun is not blind, he can't be more clear, but what is this, he forced Ying'er before, and now he wants to force you, I want to ask him to understand." ”
"Niangniang," Wutong grabbed Jing Chen to stop her. "It is the honor of the slave to share the emperor's worries, and Wutong alone can stabilize the border, and Wutong is willing."
Wutong's choked throat burned Jing Chen's heart, this is the so-called imperial technique. The minimum sacrifice in exchange for the greatest benefit is the most satisfactory result for him. However, it is unfair to Wutong, Li Xingyun, and even Fang Yaping.
Jing Chen really couldn't bear it, she wanted to go to him to theorize, she wanted him to take back his life, even if she angered him again, she would not hesitate. It's a big deal that she gives up the back position, and she can't let Wutong follow in the footsteps of Guan Ying.
Chengqian Palace, Shangguan Jun was dealing with the chapter, he was not surprised by Yin Jingchen's visit, the moment Fang Yaping begged for marriage, he thought of her, if she was there at the beginning, I am afraid that things would not have gone so smoothly, fortunately she was not there, because he was not sure what he would do under the anger. After all, because of her, he always couldn't control himself......
