Chapter 40 The marriage contract is made
The emperor issued an edict to Xuan Qin Liusu to enter the palace to face the saint, but he heard that the emperor ordered the queen to be a matchmaker, prompting her to marry Chu Jiechen.
After Qin Liusu was surprised for a moment, he immediately recovered, stood up, and replied respectfully, "Thank the emperor for his grace." It's just that marrying a wife pays attention to the life of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker, Liusu has no right to decide! β
After thinking about it carefully, Qin Liusu felt more and more that there must be something strange about this matter.
"Hahahaβ’β’β’β’β’β’" the emperor said with a smile, "This is natural, since the queen intends to match you, it depends on what you mean."
Qin Liusu didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to find a way to prevaricate: "Liusu has thanked the emperor and queen for her concern for Liusu, but this matter is very important, can the little girl Rong discuss it with her father?" β
"Good, good! It's a bit abrupt that I called you here this time, so let me think about it! The emperor clapped his hands as he spoke, and the attendants waiting behind the queen immediately brought out plates covered with red cloths.
"This should be the first time you come to my Quanjiao Palace, this is a little bit of the meaning of being an elder." As he spoke, he took out a piece of jade from the plate and said, "This jade and the jade pendant on Juechen's body were originally a piece of jade, and when Empress Wenlan divided the jade into two pieces, she ordered skilled craftsmen to carve out exactly the same two pieces, one for Jiechen, and the other for her concubine." After discussing with Zhengyang, if you want to be my daughter-in-law, I will take you to propose marriage in person.
Qin Liusu looked at the jade from a long distance and felt that the jade was extremely exquisite, it seemed that the things used by the royal family were indeed not ordinary.
"Then you should step back first!" The emperor said to Liusu.
"Thank you for the emperor's grace, Liusu will retire first." After speaking, Qin Liusu withdrew from the hall.
On the way back to Qin's Mansion, Qin Liusu fell into deep contemplation. Where is this playing? Could it be that he is some pawn in his plan? The queen has too many secrets, and the city is so deep, if she enters the palace in the future, I am afraid she will not be his opponent!
In the Dongzhao Palace, Chu Juechen also fell into deep thought. The empress should have known how important the Qin family was to Chu Lian's claim to be the emperor, but why did the empress give it to herself so generously at this time. Chu Juechen discovered that there must be another person behind this matter.
Looking at Chu Juechen's sad face, Sui Liming, who was on the side, didn't know what to say. I have never seen him by Chu Juechen's side for so long, and he wants to be like this today.
The moon has already gone to the branches, and the dinner has already been prepared and placed on the table, but Chu Jiechen has not moved his chopsticks, and Chu Jiechen himself does not know where he went.
Outside the harem Ramadan residence of Qin Liumo, the youngest daughter of the Qin family, there is a man and a woman talking softly, and these two are Chu Juechen and Qin Liumo.
"Why do you have such a sad face? Are you so unwilling to let you marry me? After all, Qin Liumo was still a little girl who had just come of age, and she didn't understand the complexities of it, so she said to Chu Jiechen a little angrily.
Chu Jiechen hurriedly explained in an angry tone when he heard Qin Liumo: "It's not that marrying you makes me helpless, I'm just thinking about the person who is behind the scenes, the queen and Chu Lian have already given me a headache, and now the person who comes out from behind doesn't know what kind of powerful character he is." β
Qin Liumo looked at the man in front of him who was a little depressed tonight, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart: how much pressure he had endured and how much loneliness he had experienced over the years. thought that all his stories were without her, but now he realized that all the stories were missing her.
The man under the moonlight, his facial features are still as delicate as when he was a child, but the young man is not there, he is replaced by a tall man, and his tall body gives her a sense of security, and the world will cease to exist soon, as long as she is by his side, she will not have the slightest fear.
Qin Liusu gently stood on tiptoe to barely hug Chu Juechen's neck.
The two of them hugged each other tightly under the moonlight, here, there was no wind around, the moonlight was bright, and there was no one around. At this moment, time stands still, the years precipitate, and how much the past and the future do not match the tenderness of this moment.
After a long time, Qin Liusu whispered in Chu Juechen's ear: "It's better to do it, we will also calculate." β
"Oh?" Chu Juechen's already bright eyes instantly flashed with a trace of excitement, "How can a general plan be calculated?" β
At noon on the second day, in a luxuriously decorated teahouse, the two brothers and sisters of the Qin family and Chu Juechen sat in it, tasting the new tea they had just arrived.
"Little sister, you've thought about it. You've been in the past for a lifetime! Qin Liumo put down the teacup in his hand, turned around and said to Chu Juechen, "Raising tigers is a problem!" Raising tigers is a problem! β
Qin Liusu laughed out loud: "How can you say that raising a tiger is a problem?" β
"This Chu Juechen grew up in my Qin family, and when he grew up, he was not only grateful, but also picked away the most cherished pearl of applause in my Qin family, do you think this is a tiger for trouble?"
"Hahahaβ’β’β’β’β’β’" Chu Juechen didn't know when he learned the way Qin Liumo spoke, and said with a scoundrel face: "Whatever you say, he's my person now." β
"No, I can't be cheap." Qin Liumo lowered his chin silently, and said with a wicked smile on his face: "I have to go out now to see, and if you see a place with good scenery, you have to give that place to my Qin family as a dowry." β
"Okay, as long as Brother Mo likes a place, I will give it to Brother Mo. Let you use it to repair the grave! β
Qin Liusu, who was watching him from the sidelines, couldn't help but snicker, when did Chu Jiechen become so untimid.
"Big brother, yesterday's thrush β’β’β’β’β’β’" Qin Liusu suddenly wanted to go to yesterday's thrush and asked Qin Liumo.
Qin Liumo didn't wait for Qin Liusu to finish speaking, and then took over: "It's just a little girl who accidentally broke a cup." β
"Then you won't punish her?" Qin Liumo continued to ask.
"Why do you want to be punished, it's just a cup broken, can't a Qin family even break a cup?"
"That's good!" Qin Liusu said novelly, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled in his heart: The eldest brother is impenetrable in his work, and he doesn't need any suspicions, but now he still leaves the thrush in the Qin Mansion.
It was night, in Qin Zhengyang's room.
"Juechen, you are the most proud student I brought out, and I am naturally relieved to hand over my daughter to you. But you have to think about this matter, there is no room for reversal between the royal family and my Qin family. Qin Zhengyang said to Chu Juechen with a serious face.
"Teacher, the student is no longer a young and ignorant child, what should be done in the government and the opposition over the years, what will be the consequences of doing it, the student still knows, and I am also a love affair." Chu Juechen replied.
"That's for the best." Qin Zhengyang looked at the candle that was burning calmly. Naturally, there was some displeasure in his heart, but the eldest woman should get married, which couldn't help him, so he turned to the topic, "Why is the queen so abnormal this time?" β
"The students are also thinking hard about it, but they are also struggling to no avail." Chu Juechen said with a melancholy face, "The student feels that there must be a master behind this matter!" β
"I just received a tip, and the Guanwai horse team, which has been wandering around the edge of the city, suddenly began to return along the same road today." Qin Liumo took over the conversation and said.
"Things are getting more and more confusing, and everything has gone beyond our expectations. But Liusu told me a way to calculate what is calculated? Chu Juechen said to the Qin family's father and son.
Almost in unison, the father and son of the Qin family asked, "What way?" β
Taifu is the third duke, but he has no real power, so he doesn't have to go to court. But this morning, Qin Zhengyang ordered someone to prepare his official uniform and prepare to enter the palace.
After the early dynasty, Chu Qigong ordered Qin Zhengyang to wait in the Quanjiao Palace.
In the hall, after Qin Zhengyang saw Chu Qigong bowing three times and bowing nine times, Chu Qigong asked directly to the point: "Are you here today for the affairs of the two children?" β
"Back to the emperor, Weichen is here for this."
"The minister is a scholar, Xin won the emperor's appreciation, appointed the position of the prince, and accompanied the three highnesses to study together. Now that the dog is flowing ink and has been appreciated by the emperor, General Ren Huben, the young daughter Liusu He De can be selected as the princess by the emperor, Qin Jiashen's emperor's favor, Weichen is really unrequitable! Qin Zhengyang said, as if tears were wet in his eyes.
Yes, the emperor is not kind to his Qin family, how can he look at the pillow of the Great Qi Tianzi There is still a hungry wolf of an alien race sleeping next to his pillow, it is really a last resort, he must learn from death.
"I never use useless people, the Qin family is a scholarly family, there are countless talents, and I favor your Qin family for the sake of the country. And Liumo's martial arts are strong, and he can be a general of Huben with literary and martial arts, which is also his own ability. As for Liusuβ’β’β’β’β’" Chu Qigong paused deliberately, "I love this lovely little girl very much, his courage and courage have never lost to any man, and he will definitely be able to assist Jiechen." β
Hearing this, Qin Zhengyang was overjoyed, and immediately knelt on the ground: "Weichen thanks the lord Longen for the little girl!" β
Qin's Ramadan residence, the thrush is carefully dressed for Qin Liusu, although the nature advocates simplicity, but the matter of marrying a woman is just like this once in her life, when you want to carefully choose clothes and jewelry, try to make every detail perfect.
"Congratulations to Miss on marrying into the royal family, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to serve Miss again in the future." The thrush's small mouth pouted and said unhappily.
"Little fool, I can also take the maid with me when I marry into the palace!"
"I just don't know if Miss is willing to take me!"
"Look at how shabby you are dressed all over your body, how can I take you into the palace? It's going to put me to shame. Qin Liusu said with a wicked smile: "You also choose a set of jewelry and clothes, and I will take you there!" β
"This can't be helped, miss!" Hearing this, the thrush hurriedly shirked it.
"Why not? Daddy prepared something for me, I can't use it anyway, besides, our thrush is so handsome, dress up well, it must be very good-looking, maybe it will be favored by which emperor in the palace? β
"The thrush should not be favored by anyone, as long as the thrush stays with the young lady for the rest of his life." Thrush's eyes welled up with tears.
"Alright, little fool, clean up for me! The second brother is coming! β
The thrush wiped away her tears and hurriedly helped Qin Liusu put it on.
"Look, Miss! Here comes the proposer! Hearing the thrush shout, Qin Liusu looked out the door.
The man rode a brown steed, dressed in a red robe, and was in high spirits.
"When I become famous, it's just, can I marry you?"
At that moment, Qin Liusu only felt that happiness was just a stone's throw away.
