Chapter 313: The Marriage Is Decided
I couldn't help but think to myself, how could I have more trouble with this poor man?
Therefore, he said more and more respectfully: "Your Majesty has sent a servant to deliver the decree. Because the slave walked slowly, he was afraid of delaying the delivery of the decree to the princess, so he asked the two apprentices with quick legs and feet to come first. The servant had just arrived outside the courtyard, and he hadn't had time to get in yet. ”
Seeing him so respectful and frightened, Feng Beiyi didn't say anything anymore, but snorted coldly in disdain, gathered his cloak, and walked back to his palace. He asked the two little eunuchs, "What will my father have for me?" ”
"The emperor has a decree...... The two little eunuchs saw that Feng Beiyi was back, and did not answer her words, but continued to shout loudly, and passed the decree in an orderly manner.
Feng Beiyi was feeling uncomfortable in her heart, so she naturally didn't have any thoughts about receiving orders. And I have vaguely expected that what is said in this holy decree must not be a good thing. But there is no way, her father's decree is not something she can accept if she wants to, and she can't accept it if she doesn't want to.
You can only kneel on the ground to show your obedience.
When he knelt down, he saw that the two little eunuchs were actually holding a holy decree in their hands, and there were two in total. asked, "It's all for the palace master?" ”
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says...... The seventh princess Beiyi, smart and filial ......" However, one of the little eunuchs had already begun to announce the decree and did not take her question seriously.
These two people have followed Li Zhonggui for a while, how can they not know the content of this holy decree?
One of them is the will of the seventh princess to be the "princess of Huangyi", and the other is the will to give the seventh princess a marriage and let her marry far away.
They passed it around, but they just informed the palace and the court of the meaning written by the emperor on the holy decree, so that the big guy knew that there was such a thing. These two holy decrees will eventually be handed over to the hands of "Princess Huangyi".
But no one will take this princess Huangyi seriously, although she has added an extremely noble "phoenix" word, but everyone's heart is like a mirror, this is just a royal outcast.
So naturally they didn't need to respect her too much. What are you doing with her? Get your errand done as soon as possible.
Listening to the two little eunuchs finish passing on these two holy decrees, Feng Beiyi had already knelt down and sat down on the cold ground in a daze......
Why is this yellow sky and thick earth so ruthless...... She is also the daughter of this heaven and earth, why do you treat her like a dog...... Even at this moment, the cold of the ground is still cold to the bones and blood, and she is so cold that her heart is cold. I didn't shiver on my body, but in my heart, I was so cold that I shivered......
Princess Huangyi? Hehe......
What a privilege is that......
In the country of wind, only the daughter of the queen of the middle palace will be canonized with the title of "phoenix". But she's just a princess from a singer, but now, is she blessed to be able to afford the word "phoenix"?
Sounds like her father is treating her well......
So if she doesn't marry, she doesn't know how to be grateful for her father's favor and disrespect, right? So if she doesn't get married, she won't be able to live, right?
When her father was annoyed, maybe she went directly from the noble Princess Huangyi to a commoner, or a pile of white bones on the "Changsheng Gang".
"Your Highness? Why don't you take the order and thank you? A little eunuch reminded.
When Feng Beiyi heard this, she was like an obedient puppet. Knocking his head in a daze, Mu Ne said: "The son of the minister is grateful......
But after saying that, it was as if the whole person had lost his soul, and he just knelt on the ground, knocked on the ground with his forehead, and did not get up. It seems that he doesn't know what to do next, as if there is no soul support in this body.
"Your Highness, raise your hand to take the order?" The little eunuch had to remind again.
Feng Beiyi raised his hand in a daze, and the little eunuch put the two holy decrees in Feng Beiyi's hands at the same time.
However, Feng Beiyi's hand hung down in a daze, and the two bright yellow holy decrees rolled to the ground.
The two little eunuchs were frightened, and were busy kneeling and prostrating to the holy decree.
But before he could kneel, he heard a cough at the door. When they looked at their master at the door, they saw that the master gave them a look and motioned for them to leave.
The two men ran out of the yard in shock.
When I got out of the hospital, I was busy pressing myself down my chest.
Li Zhonggui's face was heavy, and the two of them naturally didn't dare to say anything, so they could only follow Li Zhonggui to the imperial study and walk back.
After walking a little way, Li Zhonggui turned around and said: "Today in Qingyi Palace, no one is allowed to say anything about Princess Huangyi's holy decree, just don't see it, you know?" ”
"Yes." The two little eunuchs answered at the same time.
Even if you borrow the courage of the two of them, they don't dare to say it. They did not preach this decree and it fell to the ground, but it was not unfavorable for them to do so?
Fortunately, the master was still oriented towards them, and knew that they could not be blamed for this, so he did not punish them.
Back in the imperial study, Li Zhonggui received another will from the emperor. But he hesitated and did not leave immediately.
"Anything else?" The emperor asked.
"Your Majesty...... Minion...... Slaves are guilty! Li Zhonggui knelt on the ground and said in fear.
"What's going on?" The emperor asked with a slight frown.
Li Zhonggui said: "When the slave went to the palace of Princess Huangyi to deliver the decree, I thought that because of this morning's incident, the princess may be dissatisfied with the slave, and the slave should not go to the princess to annoy the princess." Therefore, only two disciples were allowed to preach the decree. But this holy decree has been sent to the hands of Princess Huangyi, Xu is two apprentices are out of proportion, somehow, this holy decree that has been in the hands of the princess fell down again and fell to the ground...... Minions deserve to die, minions deserve to die! It was the minions' poor teaching that made the two ignorant apprentices commit such a big crime, and begged the emperor to punish them! ”
How could the emperor not hear what Li Zhonggui meant? He just wanted to say that Yi'er's hand slipped, and the holy decree fell to the ground.
If you drop it, it's just a thing, and there's no need to pursue anything. Li Zhonggui said this, but he just told him, knowing that he didn't dare to say it if he didn't care, so as not to bear the crime of deception in the future.
"Alright, stop arguing, go and get on errands." The emperor raised his hand and motioned for Li Zhonggui to get up.
"Yes! Slave, thank you for your grace. Li Zhonggui kowtowed, got up quickly, and bowed down.
When he walked out of the door of the imperial study, he changed his calm attitude and did not have the slightest fear.
He has been with the emperor for almost 30 years, and he can still figure out when the emperor is strict and magnanimous. This kind of thing that has lost the holy decree is a big deal in the eyes of some emperors, but in the eyes of the emperor, it is not.
The emperor never cared about these subtle things. When the emperor was young, he had the heart to swallow mountains and rivers, and what he cared about was the world. Other than that, everything is a small thing, and you can be magnanimous. This was beyond the reach of the rats who were competing with the emperor at that time.
……
In the post house, Song Taishi counted the dowry gifts they brought, and there were ten large boxes, and they were all genuine gold, silver, jewelry, and rare things. It is to let the Wind Country know that they are very sincere about the marriage. Anyway, these dowries, they can still afford it. And the wind country is not good at marrying a daughter, and it will also deliver the corresponding amount of things, and they can't afford to lose.
As soon as he knocked on Lei Qianliu's door, he heard someone shouting at the gate of the courtyard: "My emperor has a will......
Lei Qianliu's entourage opened the door for Song Taishi, and Lei Qianliu sneered when he heard this shout. Thinking about the will of the Emperor of the Wind Country, how can he accept it? Speaking of which, the Emperor of the Wind Country did not have the qualifications to give him an edict, and he did not have the need to receive this edict.
In addition to Men'er, Li Zhonggui had already taken two apprentices into the courtyard of the post house.
Lei Qianliu just bowed to show that he wanted to accept the order.
But just this ceremony, how could Li Zhonggui read out the will?
continued: "My emperor has a decree, please ask the envoys of the Lei Kingdom to accept the decree." Li Zhonggui deliberately aggravated the word "minister".
Song Taishi happened to be present, and he was originally a subordinate in the Lei Kingdom, so it was natural for him to kneel down and accept the order. But Lei Qianliu didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to move, so as not to be complained by Lei Qianliu later.
Lei Qianliu saw that Li Zhonggui was determined to wait for him to kneel down before reading it, and felt that it was not a matter of being so deadlocked. And after all, he is only a prince, not an emperor, and the emperor of the Wind Country is a person of the same generation as his father, plus he is an envoy to the Wind Country...... In fact, the Emperor of the Wind Country has a decree, and it doesn't matter if he kneels down to receive the decree.
So he fell to the ground on his knees, but not on both knees, but on one knee. The words were respectful: "Xiao Wang took the order." ”
Seeing this, Li Zhonggui didn't continue to hold it, slowly opened the bright yellow holy decree, and began to read it......
After reading it, seeing that Lei Qianliu lowered his head and raised his hands to receive it, he also put the holy decree into Lei Qianliu's hands safely.
"Little Wang, thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor of the Wind Country, for your good intentions." Lei Qianliu accepted the holy decree and said it politely.
"Your Highness, hurry up and prepare, the slave will go back to the palace to give His Majesty a life, and don't bother His Highness here." Li Zhonggui said with a smile.
Lei Qianliu smiled "hehe", and didn't treat him well, but he didn't give a weird face like in Weiyang Palace. Motioned to the attendant beside him: "Send my father-in-law." ”
"Hey, I can't afford it", Li Zhonggui said with a smile, "The slave left with two apprentices, don't dare to bother." ”
But Lei Qianliu didn't say anything about not sending it, and the little guy still followed. According to the usual practice, it is natural to give a reward to Gonggong Li.
How could Li Zhonggui ask for a reward from their Lei Country? Therefore, he rejected a gold ingot handed over by this little guy, and hurried to the palace with two apprentices.
Lei Qianliu shook the holy decree in his hand, and said with a smile to Song Taishi: "This Emperor of the Wind Country really has a heart, and he has a title that only princesses have!" ”
