Chapter 66: Marriage
"If you want to take care of it, you have to show your identity, so that someone will know that the queen ran away and came to Lizhou." Xiang Run looked indifferent, but his eyes were waiting for a choice and reply.
The girl who jumped off the building in a hurry, thinking about it, when she was in Sichuan and Chongqing, it was walking sideways, where there was a fight and bullying the weak, as soon as Miss Wei came out, she immediately settled.
"Your Majesty, just confess your identity." Like a smoke, Xiang Run's eyes were shining, and he said to Xiang Run, "I'll be a palace maid, no one will ask." ”
Xiang Run looked at her coldly, like smoke knew that it would not be possible, lowered his eyes, and looked at the girl over there, who had been picked up by someone, and didn't know where to run.
But when he saw the emperor hooking his hand, the people behind him ran up, and he ordered: "Follow up." ”
"Yes." The attendant received the order and quickly disappeared in front of him.
was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile at the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Xiang Run walked forward slowly, went in that direction, and said with disgust: "You like to meddle so much? ”
Ruyan followed all the way: "When I was in Sichuan and Chongqing, I often patrolled the streets with the catcher. ”
Xiang Run looked at her incredulously: "Go down to the ground, patrol the streets, what else are you doing?" ”
Like smoke said: "Take care of my brother at home, cook for him and sew clothes, I ......"
Seeing the emperor looking at herself, Wei suddenly stopped it, she also knew that this was not what the daughter of the general's mansion should do, in last year's draft, those young ladies of the family, all of them looked like they came from the sky, only her, as if she had come out of the ground.
wants to show her talent, her stupid brother, before entering the palace, suddenly remembered to ask her, what will she know about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what will she know, she will not know either.
But this was not the time to talk about this, and before they could go far, the guards who had gone there had already rushed back to tell the man where he had taken the woman, and that he had invited the doctor home, and that he had not left it alone.
Xiang Run instructed: "Go and inquire about their origins, what happened just now, and tell me before and after." The emperor paused, and pointed casually, "I and the palace maid, eat over there." ”
Lady-in-waiting? The guard was stunned for a moment, looked at the queen on the side, smiled at him enthusiastically, and really frightened the guard, how dare he stare at the queen's mother's face, he was not afraid of gouging out his eyeballs, but the mother's smile was really beautiful.
Xiang Run took Ruyan to eat at the restaurant on the side, and ordered some snacks with local characteristics, Xiangyan was a little absent-minded, and the emperor didn't force her to move her chopsticks, but suddenly said: "After returning to Beijing, how are you going to explain this matter to your father, queen mother?" ”
"Aren't they going out?" Yiyan remembered that before the wedding, her future mother-in-law, Empress Taishang, told her that in the future, they would travel all over the world, and the palace and the emperor would be handed over to her. “
Xiang Run sighed lightly: "We are like this, can they leave Beijing with confidence?" ”
Ruyan lowered his eyes: "I won't run around again in the future." ”
But the emperor changed the subject, and said to himself: "What's the matter, I always want to tell them first, at the beginning my father was still waiting to see me, but after the first month, he was too lazy to see me, and he really had to see me, so my father was very impatient, so I didn't know what to say." ”
This situation, like smoke is known, the same thing is that the grandmother Empress Dowager is very happy to see her, and she always smiles when she sees her, but Empress Taishang, her mother-in-law, often see her before the wedding, tell her some things in the palace, after the wedding, I don't see her much, every time I go to ask for peace, it is in vain.
"Don't they want to see us?" Like a flue, "The queen mother doesn't see me either." ”
"I've also figured it out, let go from now on and be the emperor I want to be." Xiang Run gave me a cigarette and said, "My father doesn't want to restrain me, but I feel that he can't let me do it, he just doesn't want to be the emperor, so he will give me the position, why should I be careless." ”
Smoke thought for a moment and nodded vigorously.
Xiang Run said: "In the palace, we don't have the opportunity to talk like this, say something from our hearts that can't be heard by others. I can't make a little sex, but you can, why don't you show some courage and not allow the palace maids and eunuchs to follow all the time, and drive them away. ”
"Me?" He thought he had misheard.
The emperor said, "The queen mother has done this before, what rules are not in order." ”
"Is that okay?" Ruyan's eyes widened, "I'm really not used to them always following me, they have to follow me when I release my hand." ”
Xiang Run said angrily: "Eat, what do you say to relieve your hands?" ”
Before the words fell, a horse ran on the street, like smoke and saw it clearly, it was Ling Chaofeng, she immediately leaned in front of the window and shouted: "Ling shopkeeper, Ling shopkeeper ......"
When Ling Chaofeng heard the sound, he suddenly reined in his horse, turned around and saw the queen waving at him on the windowsill, he understood why Xiaowan was so close to the queen.
Like Yan was dragged back by Xiang Run, and scolded her: "Are you going to tell everyone that you are here?" “
And when Ling Chaofeng went upstairs, the guards sent by the emperor also came back, and told the emperor what the origin of the girl who had just fallen from the building, and heard the people in the restaurant say that it seemed that she was forced by her brother to accompany the wine, and it was her brother who carried her away, and they were all the daughters of the son of the prefect of Lizhou who died not long ago.
Ruyan remembered: "It turned out to be Miss Meng who Xiaowan told me." ”
The emperor looked at Ling Chaofeng: "Do you have something to do with the inn?" ”
Ling Chaofeng knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people have a reluctant request." ”
When Ershan and Xiaowan arrived at Lizhou Mansion in a carriage, it was already sunset and dusk, and when Meng Mansion was about to prepare dinner, a large number of people broke in, led by the magistrate of Baisha County, who was currently acting for the prefect's affairs, and he looked flustered and walked tremblingly.
Mrs. Meng greeted her: "This is?" ”
The magistrate glanced at the emperor behind him, cleared his throat and asked Mrs. Meng: "There is a farce in the market today, saying that the young lady jumped off the building and committed suicide, and the lower officials came to take a look." ”
Mrs. Meng looked embarrassed: "No, no, no." She looked at the group of young people behind her and recognized Ershan, but there were two other men on the side who were extraordinary, she didn't dare to make a mistake, and asked the magistrate softly, "My lord, who are these people, it's so late, what are you doing in the house?" ”
"Madam, the one in white is the current emperor." The voice of the magistrate was also trembling, when he was joking with the master in the prefect's yamen, someone suddenly broke in, and after learning that it was the emperor, he couldn't get up on his knees on the ground with weak legs.
"Emperor, Emperor......" Mrs. Meng was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she was about to kneel, but she was dragged by the magistrate and said, "Madam, don't make a statement, the emperor is going to lose his head when he visits here privately." ”
Mrs. Meng trembled: "Emperor, Emperor, what are you doing?" ”
Lord Zhixian sighed: "When Ling Qianjin committed suicide by jumping off the street today, she fell in front of the emperor's eyes, madam, what do you say?" ”
Mrs. Meng didn't have to deny it anymore, and reluctantly brought people to His Excellency, Xiaowan and Yanyan came upstairs, there were two mothers-in-law outside the boudoir, and two maidservants inside, and the person lying on the bed had straight eyes, and he was already awake.
At first sight, Lian Yi's tears rained down, and when she saw the strange woman on the side, Xiaowan said to her: "We'll explain later." ”
She dressed up for Lian Yi, and before long, the men who were waiting outside came in.
Seeing Ershan following behind the shopkeeper Ling, Lian Yi excitedly grabbed Xiao Wan's hand, and Xiao Wan said softly: "Lian Yi, there is someone who can call the shots today, you tell us, what happened?" Why did you jump off a building? ”
Mrs. Meng waved her hand vigorously at her daughter, but Lian Yi was already disheartened, she just lay on the bed and thought, if she didn't die twice, God was destined to leave her in the world to be tortured.
Lian Yi calmed down and said calmly: "My brother used to gamble and owe gambling debts, and when my father was there, the creditors never came to ask for it, but now that my father is gone, they come to collect debts every day." Her face was pale and very pitiful, but the gaze in her eyes was resolute and resolute, "My brother wants to send me as a mortgage in order to repay the debt, and today he tricked me into going to the restaurant, and those people will do it, I can't hate it, I'd rather die than give in." ”
Mrs. Meng sat down on the ground, it was over, her son's future was completely over.
I saw Ershan cross everyone and knelt down towards the emperor: "Your Majesty, the student is out of love, and Miss Meng is in love, but the Meng Mansion thinks that the student is humble and poor, so he will not agree, and he will torture Lian Yi to this point." The student implored the emperor to grant him a marriage, and the student was willing to take care of Miss Meng for the rest of her life, support Mrs. Meng, and take care of her brother and sister-in-law. ”
Like Yan ran to Xiang Run's side, expecting his reply, Xiang Run asked her, "Do you want to agree?" ”
She nodded again and again, and Xiang Run said softly: "Do you want to come to give marriage, try to see how great it is to be a queen." ”
She pursed her lips and said softly: "Your Majesty, I am now a palace maid." ”
The first time Xiang Run saw Wei Yiyan, she was smiling like this, feeding fish with a little palace maid by the Taiye Pool in the Imperial Garden, but after the wedding, he never saw her again, and the people he saw were always full of melancholy, and he had never seen her happy.
"I'm right." Xiang Run said to Ershan, "Ling Chu, this time you have won the case of Lizhou Court, there should always be some reward, I will give marriage to promote a good relationship, you ......"
"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, she heard an exclamation, and Mrs. Meng crawled in front of the person on her knees, knelt on the ground, and said with a crying voice, "I beg the emperor to take back his life." ”
Everyone's faces changed, and they said angrily: "Madam, do you still want to send your daughter to pay off gambling debts?" ”
Mrs. Meng didn't care who the little woman was, she only kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said tremblingly: "The little girl Lian Yi originally had a marriage contract with the Marquis of the capital, but she was seduced by this kid who ran away from the hall, and then ran away from marriage and sought death, so that the first husband and concubine lost face. The little girl is a person with a marriage contract, how can she be married to others, although this person is admitted to the show, but the future is uncertain, the little girl is the daughter of the prefect, how can she match such a country husband. Your Majesty, if you insist on giving marriage, the concubine will definitely not obey, and she will die here and go with her husband. Otherwise, the concubine will have no face to face the ancestors of the Meng Mansion. ”
Xiang Run smiled coldly, the little queen beside her was already mad, Xiao Wan supported Lian Yi, she could feel her trembling and cold, she said softly: "Lian Yi, don't be afraid, no one can force you anymore." ”
Meng Lianyi burst into tears and said in a dumb voice: "But I don't want to hurt Ershan, make it like this, spread it, how bad it is." ”
Ershan knelt on the ground, vaguely heard this sentence, and looked at Lian Yi, they were only a few steps apart, but they were like thousands of mountains and rivers, and he was now, just a showman, even his wish had not yet been fulfilled, how to promise his beloved.
