Chapter 258: An Unexpected Gift
Although Luo Yunxiao's problem was about to be solved, Luo Yunshuang did not feel relaxed because of this, on the contrary, the atmosphere in the entire Zhaowang Mansion was extremely heavy. Yes, they were originally sisters of blood relatives, but in the end, this kind of endless ending, no matter who wins or loses in the end, is a great sadness.
Two days later, it was the wedding of Luo Yunxiao and Bai Wenjie, because this matter has become the biggest scandal in Nanchu, in order to save some face as much as possible, the wedding can only be held as soon as possible. However, according to the intentions of Song Yunqing and Luo Yunshuang, the wedding scene was very spectacular and grand. Now everyone knows that Bai Wenjie married Luo Yunxiao.
However, no matter how luxurious the wedding is, it is difficult to cover up the facts, everyone in the world knows that Luo Yunxiao seduced Bai Wenjie at his wedding, and after the two made a reluctant thing, they had to get married to save their reputation, so people are still full of contempt and disgust for this marriage.
People on the streets and alleys are talking about this marriage, but compared with the love stories of those talented and beautiful people, the matter of Luo Yunshuang and Bai Wenjie is obviously more interesting, one is the broken shoes of the water-based poplar, and the other is the illegitimate son of the unsightly, these two are simply a perfect match!
Bai Wenjie, who came to Zhaowang's Mansion early in the morning to greet his relatives, obviously felt that the onlookers were full of contemptuous and disdainful discussions, ridicule and fingering, which simply made him feel like a man, and the hatred and disgust for Luo Yunxiao in his heart were a little heavier, it was this lowly woman who brought him these troubles!
Originally, his identity as an illegitimate child had already made the people of Nanchu very reluctant to accept it, and he was thinking about doing something good to benefit the country and the people to win the favor of the people, but before he could act, he fell into Luo Yunxiao's trap!
He is going to be the emperor in the future, how can a shameless woman like Luo Yunxiao be able to dominate the world? A woman who can be his queen must be a kind and beautiful woman like Luo Yunshuang! Wait, when he sits in that position, he must teach Luo Yunxiao a good lesson, and then find a way to get Luo Yunshuang!
His heart was full of reluctance and impatience, Bai Wenjie rudely hugged Luo Yunxiao on the sedan chair, didn't look at her, turned around and rode on the horse, and the team of greeting relatives walked towards the palace.
The Zhaowang Mansion is not far from the palace, only separated by two streets, and soon arrived at the palace, although this palace left people with a lot of unpleasant memories, although they did not want to come, but now they have to come.
Bai Wenjie is the prince after all, even if the time is in a hurry, but the princes, ministers, civil and military officials, and the women who should have come still arrived, on the one hand, to participate in the wedding of Bai Wenjie and Luo Yunxiao, and on the other hand, to listen to the emperor knighted Bai Wenjie. The wedding finally had a bit of a grand and lively feeling.
The emperor and the empress sat high at the top of the hall, and the festive hall was quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on the bride who was supported by Bai Wenjie to worship heaven and earth, and in addition to contempt and contempt in his eyes, he just watched the excitement.
With the end of the worship ceremony, everyone began to congratulate Bai Wenjie with false affection, Bai Wenjie finally had a smile on his face at this time, and some high-spirited fists returned the salute.
Although he was reluctant to marry Luo Yunxiao, he and Luo Yunxiao both knew that the next was the most important moment they had been looking forward to for two days! The emperor is about to announce the title of Bai Wenjie, which is the most exciting!
Luo Yunshuang watched coldly, Bai Wenjie and Luo Yunxiao got together, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, I really hoped that after they got married, they would quarrel and be troublesome, not that she was bad-hearted, because these two were not peaceful people, once they were idle, they would definitely have bad intentions to deal with others.
"Ladies and gentlemen," seeing that everyone was almost congratulating, Song Yunqing raised his voice slightly and said, and the hall immediately fell silent, and they all listened to him respectfully, "Everyone knows that Bai Wenjie is my son, but he has known me for some time, and I have not given him a knighthood." The ancients said that if he starts a family, he will have to start a business in the future. Although he doesn't have any merits yet, after all, he is an adult, and it is not appropriate to continue to live in the palace, so I decided to give him the title of mansion today. ”
After Song Yunqing's words were finished, everyone was quiet, waiting for the emperor to announce what kind of title Bai Wenjie would be given, to be honest, the civil and military officials looked down on Bai Wenjie very much, the princes of Southern Chu dynasties, although they said that they were born in the royal family, but everyone was canonized after making meritorious contributions to the imperial court. Bai Wenjie was just a child of a family before this, fighting cocks and lackeys all day long, how could he have made a single achievement to the imperial court? Just because he is the illegitimate son of the emperor is about to be canonized, it naturally makes everyone unconvinced.
After all, the identity of an illegitimate child has already been looked down upon, and he dares to ascend to the sky one step because of this?
So at this time, the elders of the court and the central government secretly decided that if Song Yunqing gave Bai Wenjie a title in name only, it would be fine, but if he was given any position with real power, they would not agree.
Bai Wenjie didn't care about this, he subconsciously clenched the hands of the people around him, his nervous body trembled slightly, of course he wouldn't notice that he was holding Luo Yunxiao's hand, although these two people looked at each other and hated each other, but at this time they had exactly the same idea, and they all hoped that the emperor would canonize Bai Wenjie as the crown prince, and the two of them shook hands, and their nervous palms were sweaty.
"I have decided to make Bai Wenjie the king of Lingnan, give a mansion, and reward ten thousand taels of gold, since our father and son have been separated for so many years, you will live in the capital in the future, and be by my side, which can be regarded as making up for those missing time." Song Yunqing's majestic voice sounded faintly, and everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.
Ning Qi chuckled, the meaning was unknown.
The corners of Luo Yunshuang's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but bury a little face in Ning Qi's arms, and snickered, "This Emperor of Southern Chu has finally done something satisfying, it's just ...... It's so much in line with my heart, King Lingnan...... Poof......"
Ning Qi looked at her with gentle and doting eyes, patted her shoulder funny, and chuckled, "If you can hear this gift, this trip to the palace is not in vain." ”
"Hmph, this kid!" There was also a hint of a smile on the majestic face of Zhenguogong, Song Yunqing is his son-in-law, he is undoubtedly a good emperor of Southern Chu, which Zhenguogong appreciates very much, but he did not give his daughter happiness, which makes Zhenguogong very dissatisfied, so for him, Zhenguogong's attitude is very tangled, and he can't help but be a little funny at this time.
"Lingnan Wang ......" Tang Zining reacted slowly, frowning and thinking for a while before reacting, "Isn't Lingnan the wasteland that talks about uninhabited people?" A place of distress for the exiled prisoners? It's good, it's good, it's good! Tang Zining clapped her hands with a smile and said.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also nodded with satisfaction, Bai Wenjie is an illegitimate child, and letting him be an idle prince can be regarded as the royal family worthy of him!
Song Yunqing gave Bai Wenjie such a title, this fief is an uncultivated wasteland, no people live, not suitable for farming, it is basically equivalent to no back cover, only a mansion, and he will leave him in the capital, saying that the father and son have been separated for too long so let him stay by his side, in fact, he doesn't trust him at all, and puts him under his nose for easy monitoring.
This title also shows bluntly that although Bai Wenjie is the prince and is also named the prince, he is an idle prince with no real power, and it is impossible to be favored or valued, and he has no chance to be on the throne in this life.
Therefore, this canonization not only did not bring Bai Wenjie any glory, but even made him even more shameful.
Bai Wenjie was dumbfounded when he heard this title, the expectant and excited smile on his face had not yet dispersed, he completely froze on his face, his expression was very funny for a moment, he was stunned for a long time, and the flame of anger gradually ignited under his eyes, and the hand holding Luo Yunxiao unconsciously forced, making her scream in pain.
Luo Yunxiao was full of anger, and he didn't know if this anger was aimed at Bai Wenjie or the emperor, the emperor clearly promised to give Bai Wenjie a noble identity to match her, but why, now he is not crowned with the crown prince, but a ridiculous king of Lingnan? How can an idle prince who has no real name worthy of her noble status?
"Let go of me! You useless shit! The more Luo Yunxiao thought about it, the more angry she became, she felt that she had been tricked, she suddenly pulled off the red hijab on her head, pointed at Bai Wenjie's nose and scolded.
Her move immediately attracted the angry accusations of the audience, in front of the emperor and empress, in front of the princes and ministers, how could she be so presumptuous as a little woman!
"Luo Yunxiao, what are you doing?" Song Yunqing said coldly in displeasure.
Luo Yunxiao trembled with fright from this majestic voice, but she immediately stabilized her mind and raised her head and asked, "The emperor obviously promised me to give Bai Wenjie a noble identity, which is worthy of me!" Could it be that your so-called noble identity is an idle king who does not enter the stream? ”
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials of Nanchu were not happy, and they all accused Luo Yunxiao, "What do you mean by this?" My prince of Nanchu, why didn't he enter the stream? Isn't it worthy of you as a woman who has lost her virginity? ”
Luo Yunshuang couldn't wait to take a sack to trap Luo Yunxiao, she was embarrassed here, she buried her little face in Ning Qi's collar, gritted her teeth and said, "It's so embarrassing!" ”
