Chapter 237: Snatching Relatives

It wasn't until the carriages and horses of the Western Liao envoys began to leave the city, attracting hundreds of people to watch, that the news of Ye Tanghua's marriage spread completely, and this time the capital was fried.

Ye Yuanzhi was still immersed in the joy of last night, it was rare to get up late, who knew that when he got up, he heard about Ye Tanghua and his affinity for his marquis, these two things came too suddenly, and they were very unreasonable, so his first reaction was that the person who came to report the news made fun of him, and the carriage and horse of his daughter's marriage to Xiliao had already set off, and he, a father, didn't know?

But he didn't stay for long, because it didn't take long for him to receive the holy decree from the palace, this surprise was not trivial, Ye Yuanzhi immediately took the holy decree, and took the crying Ye Mu all the way to the palace, and now he has no heart to enjoy the blessings of Qi people, although he is very happy that he was named the Marquis of Wuyang, but, but no one has ever told him about Ye Tanghua and his relatives! When his daughter got married, but he hid it from him, who was a father, like words? When did this happen? Why did the Holy Intent send it to Ye Tang after the flowers had already set off?!

It wasn't until he entered the palace and saw the chaos in the palace that Ye Yuanzhi realized that everything was really not a joke, the daughter who made him love and hate was really married to Xiliao, he was not the first to know, but he was by no means the last to know the news, because now Qi Jingzhi's study was already full of people.

"Your Majesty, why is the matter of Princess Qingshang's relationship so sudden? Yesterday there was no sign of it, but today the holy decree was issued, which, this is too arbitrary! Feng Jiu Ge gritted his teeth and flicked his sleeves, standing at His Highness and looking up at Qi Jingzhi.

Qi Jingzhi raised his eyes indifferently and chuckled: "Why did King Changping say this? Xiliao has a request, I promised, yesterday drafted the decree, this morning Xuanqing Shang princess entered the palace to deliver the holy decree, and immediately kissed Xiliao, although the time is tight, but it also makes sense, and the Xiliao envoy is in a hurry, I am not good to delay, what, listen to the meaning of King Changping, is to blame me? ”

Feng Jiu Ge sneered and asked rhetorically: "There are so many women in Nanyan, why are they the princess of Qingshang?" ”

"The envoys of the Western Liao are not fools, when it comes to the right people, talented and beautiful, there are few people in the world who can compare with the Qing merchants, and the envoys of the Western Liao open their mouths to ask for marriage, naturally they are the most outstanding women in their hearts, is this still intentional? King Changping's blame is so unreasonable! Qi Jingzhi glanced at him and smiled.

"Father! But the emperor's grandmother has already spoken, the princess of Qingshang is the person she fancies, even if the envoy of Xiliao opens his mouth to ask for marriage, his father should not let go, is it that in the eyes of his father, his son is not as good as the prince of Xiliao? Qi Yu also had a bad face, and rarely opened his mouth with Qi Jingzhi.

"The prince of Xiliao is close to a weak crown this year, you are only in the year of Zhixue, how can you let me open this mouth! If I really opened my mouth, wouldn't the envoys of Western Liao laugh at our Nanyan arrogating to be hegemonic, but there is not even a decent talented girl! For you, you lost Nanyan's face, but you can tell me, what are you! Qi Jingzhi's face turned cold, and he slapped it heavily on the case, and the hall was silent for a moment.

He raised his eyes, his eyes were slightly cold: "I am the Son of Heaven, the lord of all the people in the world, and I must not be the emperor of the family!" If I want to be the joy and anger of one person, and ignore all the people of the world, this delusional ear! I know that there are not a few people who are the princess of Qingshang in the center of the court, but the family and the country come first, even if I have the heart to help you, I must not ignore the people of the world! The only thing I can do now is to tell you, according to Bai Yu's report, the prince of Western Liao has rushed from Xiliao to pick up his relatives, and he will catch up with the chariots and horses of the envoys of Xiliao in about a day, and there is a rule in Xiliao, if there is someone other than the groom who loves the bride, he can go to rob the bride before the groom receives the kiss, and if he grabs it, he can take the bride away, and if he can't grab it, he will never see the bride's face for the rest of his life. ”

Feng Jiuge was stunned for a long time, and his eyes lit up: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your success." ”

Qi Jingzhi hooked the corners of his lips, picked up the tea cup on the table and skimmed it: "My words are brought, and you can't thank me for fulfilling or something." ”

Feng Jiuge was stunned again, and then his face suddenly turned gloomy: "What about Minzhi's others?!" ”

"He is my younger brother, whether it is the speed of knowing the news or the convenience of entering the palace, it is not comparable to Jiuge, and now the white feather rider is probably already on the way." Qi Jingzhi took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Whoever the flowers fall to now, it depends on who has good foot strength and who has high ability, but I have to remind you that we Nanyan don't have the word about robbing relatives, whoever can snatch someone from the Prince of Xiliao will be the winner!" ”

Feng Jiu Ge gritted his teeth in anger, and almost wanted to scold Qi Jingzhi twice, but when he thought about scolding people and wasting time, he had to stomp his feet and brush his sleeves away hatefully, Qi Yu also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Qi Jingzhi: "The prince of a country, rashly going out of Beijing, and even crossing the border, what kind of system!" ”

Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but change color: "What does my father mean, is it to let his sons and daughters watch their sweethearts being snatched away?" ”

"One of Jiu Ge and Min Yi is your cousin, and the other is your uncle, the two of them want the person, and you are not qualified to fight." Qi Jingzhi smiled coldly: "Do you think that the prince is so easy to do?" When you become a prince, you can do all the best? What's more, there is no grass at the end of the world, and in the future, you will have your own three palaces and six courtyards, will you not be able to reach one person? ”

Qi Yu looked at Qi Jingzhi for a long time, and then smiled coldly: "I see, I understand, my father is unwilling to do it, so he won't let go of his son!" But father, compare your heart to your heart, you touch your heart and think about it, are the three palaces and six courtyards really better than that person? ”

Qi Jingzhi blinked, stared at Qi Yu with some surprise, and then couldn't help but laugh lowly: "Boy, to be able to say this in front of me, it seems that you are still too tender!" This is not what you should think about now, and when you really sit in this position, you will know what imperial power is! ”

After that, Qi Jingzhi waved his hand to signal Qi Yu to go down, and then turned his head to look at Ye Yuanzhi and his wife, who had been trying to suppress their sense of existence since they came in: "Wuyang Hou and Mrs. Hou come here." ”

Ye Yuanzhi trembled and took Ye Mushi over, always feeling as if he had heard a lot of things that he shouldn't hear: "Your Majesty, the ministers, the ministers are in ......"

Qi Jingzhi nodded and said with a smile: "Ye Qing's family has this daughter, it is really indispensable, Mrs. Hou gave birth to this daughter, and she has been peaceful for decades, and it can be regarded as a great merit." ”

Ye Mushi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief: "Even so, the concubine is still reluctant in her heart, the concubine has given birth to this son and a daughter in this life, and now the daughter suddenly marries far away, the concubine is really ......"

As she spoke, tears fell again, and she couldn't help but turn around and choke.

From the moment she entered the hall just now, she knew that there was no room for this matter to turn around, the upbringing of the Mu family was there, knowing that she couldn't do it, she really didn't have the heart to cry, but having said that, when she thought of her daughter who was still at home last night and was trying her best to plan for her, how could she accept it today?

Qi Jingzhi nodded: "I know that Mrs. Hou is sad, but Mrs. Hou understands the righteousness, I still admire it, in fact, Mrs. Hou is not too old now, even if it is not difficult to raise a few more, besides, there are many daughters of Wuyang Hou, and Mrs. Hou can also feel a little sad when she looks at it on weekdays...... By the way, did Mrs. Hou bring the pair of mandarin duck bracelets? ”

Ye Mushi was stunned, and subconsciously stroked the pair of "phoenix rings" on her wrist, this pair of bracelets was borrowed from Ye Tanghua at the beginning, but this borrowing was more than a month, Ye Tanghua didn't mention it, and she forgot to return it, so this bracelet is still with her: "In, in, what does the emperor command?" ”

"Give me the bracelet, I didn't know what the meaning of this bracelet was, but it caused trouble to Mrs. Hou, and then the mandarin duck bracelet suddenly separated, which also made me suspense from time to time, and now that the mandarin duck bracelet is reunited, I should also give it to the right person, Mrs. Hou thinks?"

Ye Mushi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and reluctantly pulled out a smile: "What Your Majesty said is very true, this bracelet should be given to the person who deserves it." ”

As she spoke, she took off the "Phoenix Ring" from her wrist and handed it to Xu Dian, who suddenly lost her weight on her wrist, and it was inevitably a little empty, as if some inexplicable burden was suddenly unloaded, a little relaxed, but also a little regretful.

Xu Dian presented the mandarin duck bracelet, Qi Jingzhi glanced at it, nodded, and looked at Ye Yuanzhi again: "Okay, Wuyang Hou and Mrs. Hou should also go down." ”

Ye Yuanzhi bowed and retreated, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, his daughter, who had a headache in the past, was suddenly told that he would never see each other again in this life, although there was a feeling of relief, but it was more regrettable, he didn't know until today, it turned out that there were so many people in the royal family who liked their daughter, if Ye Tanghua could stay in Nanyan, then he might be the prince's father-in-law in the future, and he might even be the king's father-in-law......

Thinking of this, Ye Yuanzhi was upset for no reason, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Mushi, who was still wiping his tears with a handkerchief behind him: "Let's go, I can't help it, what are you crying about!" Tang'er is married to Xiliao to be the crown princess, and she will be the queen in the future, this is a happy thing, she should be happy for her, what are you crying about! ”

Ye Mushi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief again and put it down, his face was faintly unhappy, he just looked at Ye Yuanzhi's back, and sighed a little in his heart.

The so-called husband and wife, in the end, is just like this, the relationship is affectionate and shallow, and the original intention is not worth it. When it comes to old age, it is just a person who does not look back, a person who follows forward in frustration, and in the end, it is a lifetime......
