Chapter 210: Which is Wushan and Which is Cloud (1)
I don't know which sentence moved Shen Yu, or if he didn't waver, he just needed time to calm down. At least, she hadn't seen that Hulan figure in Yunfu in the past few days.
The busyness of the general affairs made Xiu forget the sadness in her heart for a while. Especially for the banquet to welcome the Emperor of Heaven, from the style of dishes, the variety of wine, the material of the dishes and chopsticks, and the layout of the hall, she needs to personally see and make ideas, this pile is dizzying, she deliberately devotes herself to these things, so that she doesn't have to worry about Shen Yu, let alone feel heartache when she thinks of him.
Because of this banquet, the entire Yunfu was tossed upside down, almost inside and out, and the florists also found some rare flowers and plants from all over the world.
Izuku will go to Rongjin Hall every day to report the progress to Mrs. Tai, and I will ask for advice if there are any uncertainties. Mrs. Tai said that she asked Shen Yu to give Xiu a hand, but it was really hard work, and she didn't see anyone, so she inevitably chattered in front of Xiu. The mother-in-law deliberately mentioned him, and the daughter-in-law deliberately avoided mentioning it, like a vague contest, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wrestled with each other......
Time flies by like water, and Mrs. Tai is quite satisfied with Izumi's careful preparations. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the feast, which happened to be the night of the full moon. Coincidentally, after the beginning of summer, Yanlan City has been raining continuously, sometimes pouring and sometimes continuous, in short, the water vapor has not been interrupted in the past few days.
But the day before the Emperor of Heaven came to the door, the weather suddenly began to clear, and the next day the sun was shining. On the evening of the same day, a full moon hung high in the air, sprinkled with a clear glow in the world, coupled with the abundant rain of the previous days, this night did not feel unbearable, on the contrary, the breeze was very cool.
At the time of unitary, Emperor Nie Peihan and King Cheng Nie Peixiao came to the door on time. Everyone in the Yun Mansion greeted the holy driver in front of the mansion, but there was no trace of Shen Yu - to be exact, they hadn't seen him for several days.
However, to everyone's surprise, Shen Yu actually came with Emperor Tianzhu, and he was escorting a lady's standard chariot, and it was no one else who was sitting in the car, but he was indifferent. Today, Emperor Tianzhu and King Cheng came to the banquet, and when they saw that their injuries had improved a lot, they couldn't bear her eagerness to think about the Lord, so they piggybacked her and sent her back.
This made Chu Xiu very pleasantly surprised, and it was not good to greet the emperor on the spot because of the emperor's presence. Danxin seemed to know her intentions, and secretly squeezed her eyebrows at Chuxiu when she was free, and her face looked good.
It turned out that Shen Yu had gone to take care of Danxin in the past few days, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart, but at least she could feel at ease, at least she knew that he was not depressed. After entering the Cloud Mansion with Emperor Tianzhu, he was amazed again and again by the new look around him. Izumi was worried that her back injury had not healed, so she drove her back to Zhiyanxuan halfway to recuperate, and ordered Qianyun to take care of her on her behalf.
After that, several people entered the banquet hall one after another, and a total of six people were present, including Emperor Tianzhu, King Cheng, Mrs. Tai, Zhu Xiu, Shen Yu, and Yun Cheng, and the position was also arranged extremely delicately-
Emperor Tianzhu and Mrs. Tai are on the same throne on the Danqi, one in the east and the other in the west;
Cheng Wang Nie Peixiao sat alone on the guest seat on the east side;
Out of Xiu, Yun Cheng, and Shen Yu sat on the west side, facing Nie Peixiao head-on, out of Xiu in the upper hand, Yun Cheng in the middle, and Shen Yu in the lower hand.
It seems that the seating of the host and guest is distinct, and it also shows the dignity and humility of relatives.
After sitting down, Chuxiu deliberately didn't look at Shen Yu, let alone Nie Peixiao, and only laughed with Emperor Tianzhu and Mrs. Xie, and then Zhang Luo passed the dishes, laughing and drinking.
In the past, when Dilong was granted the title of Qianfangzhou, he was very jealous of Mrs. Tai, but because of his identity, he rarely visited the door. This time, the two sat in the same seat, talking about the business of Yunfu from polite words, and then talking about the current situation in the north and south.
Finally, after most of the banquet, Mrs. Tai and Emperor Tianzhu also talked about the topic. But seeing that Mrs. Tai raised her glass first, she said to the latter: "The arrival of the Holy Master is really a pain in the old body." I wonder when you will return to Jingzhou? The Yun family gave a small gift. ”
As the emperor today, Mrs. Tai will never give gifts for no reason, especially "thin gifts". Since she dares to say it in public, this "thin gift" must not be thin.
Emperor Tianzhu's charming handsome face raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "You are too polite, I have received a lot of favors from the Yun family, without the Yun family, I would not have my current status." ”
"The saint is chosen by the heavens, the true dragon is incarnated, and the unification of the north and the south is also the hope of all. The Yun clan is just helping you, and you don't dare to be arrogant. Although the content of these words was humble, Mrs. Tai said it very hardly, as if she was deliberately reminding the Heavenly Emperor not to forget the support of the Yun Clan.
Emperor Tianzhu naturally heard the meaning of her words, and picked up the wine glass and replied with a smile: "The grace of the Yun family, as well as the full support of Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Izuxiu, I will never forget it." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Tai drank with the Emperor of Heaven with a wine glass, she pretended to cough twice, supported her forehead with too much wine, and sighed slowly: "It's really not good for people to disobey the old, two glasses of wine are in the stomach, and the old body already feels dizzy." After that, she beckoned to Yun Cheng on the west side: "Cheng'er, come over and give a cup of worship on behalf of grandmother." ”
Yun Cheng immediately got up from his seat, held the wine glass and walked towards the main seat, and the maid behind him immediately picked up the wine jug and followed, serving the master to pour wine.
Yun Cheng was dressed in white tonight, and he looked more and more shy. Emperor Tianzhu saw this successive son for the first time tonight, and with just one glance, he also understood why he was chosen. Just this appearance and bearing, it seems to be a rebirth.
Yun Chengqing smiled lightly, the age of fourteen is a little embarrassing, not a teenager, not a prime, but he has a mature temperament, which can make people feel at ease. But seeing that he held the wine glass on the top of his head, he bowed down and said to the Heavenly Emperor: "Yun Cheng faces the saint for the first time, and congratulates the saint on the development of the Hongyou Pi Exhibition, and the blessing of life is extended." ”
Emperor Tianzhu laughed loudly, took the wine glass and drank it all, nodded and praised: "The son of the world is a talent, and there are successors from the Marquis of Xin." ”
Mrs. Tai waited for this sentence, so she smiled again: "Although it is 'successor', it is only the inheritance to Cheng'er." If you really want to have a 'successor', you must let Cheng'er get married as soon as possible, open up branches and leaves for the Yun family's lineage, and inherit the incense. ”
When Mrs. Tai said this, how could the Emperor of Heaven not hear it? What's more, at the night banquet of the Star Tower a few days ago, he had heard out of Xiu mention Yun Cheng's marriage. Emperor Tianzhu saw that today's occasion was appropriate, and he was about to return to Beijing, so he took the opportunity to ask Yun Cheng's age: "The prince is fourteen years old this year?" ”
Yun Cheng was at a loss for the first time, obviously he also heard what Mrs. Tai meant, so he replied respectfully: "Holy Lord, I just passed my fourteenth birthday. After saying that, he didn't forget to glance back at Xiu, and then smiled: "I have the same birthday as my mother." ”
Emperor Tianzhu remembered that Xiu's birthday was in early summer, and when he was still King Mu, he also ordered the housekeeper to prepare a generous gift every year to congratulate the Yun family's housewife on her birthday. Thinking of Chuxiu's age, and then looking at the heir in front of her, who was only eight years younger than her, Emperor Tianzhu once again evoked a charming smile, and turned to Mrs. Tai and smiled again: "At the age of the prince, it is time to get married." I don't know which family's daughter has this blessing to be able to get married with the prince of Lixin? ”
Mrs. Tai's eyes flashed, waved her hand to let Yun Cheng return to her seat, and glanced at Xiu again: "It's not that she is picky as a mother, and no one can look down on her choice, so she has never chosen a favorite daughter-in-law for Cheng'er." This one, that one, pick and choose, there is no one suitable, and the eight characters of the birthday are always wrong. ”
"Hmm...... I remembered. Only then did Emperor Tianzhu make a sudden statement: "Nine days ago, I held a banquet in King Cheng's mansion, and Mrs. Xiu once mentioned that she wanted to ask for marriage for the prince. Look, I've forgotten all about this memory, and it looks like I'm drunk tonight. ”
Emperor Tianzhu put this out first, in case there was a disagreement between the candidate for marriage and Yunfu, he could also say that he was drunk and talking nonsense, and he would never say it when he woke up tomorrow.
After making up his mind, Emperor Tianzhu smiled at Mrs. Tai again: "Why don't you tell me the birth date of the prince, and I will bring it back to Jingzhou for Qintian to do the calculations, and then see which daughter in the court can match it, I don't know what Mrs. Tai wants?" ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Tai nodded: "You and the old body want to go together." The old body believed in the Buddha all his life, and a few days ago he specially invited a few senior monks to count the birthday of Cheng'er...... Several eminent monks unanimously said that Cheng'er was a successor, and he was destined to lack luck, so he had to find a girl of the same age who was from the text to help him increase his skills...... Otherwise, it will affect the heirs. ”
Mrs. Tai sighed as she spoke: "You have also seen the situation in the house now, we are widows, only one of the third is still far away in Jingzhou, and Ding Zhen'er is extremely thin." If Cheng'er can't marry a qualified girl, my Yun clan will have no successor, which is just the opposite of what you just said. ”
Speaking of which, Emperor Tianzhu understood that Mrs. Xie had a choice in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "Oh? Have you inquired clearly, which minister in the DPRK and China has a suitable daughter at home? ”
"Yes, yes, but ......" Mrs. Tai's eyes slowly looked at Chu Xiu, and then at Nie Peixiao, who was sitting opposite her, and finally returned to the face of the Heavenly Emperor, and stopped talking: "The old body sent people to inquire and inquire, and only one girl is the most suitable ...... the requirements."
"Who?" Without waiting for the Heavenly Emperor to ask, Nie Peixiao couldn't wait, and couldn't help asking.
Mrs. Tai smiled, she smiled and replied to Nie Peixiao: "It's really a coincidence, it is the youngest daughter of the Ye family in Quzhou, the little niece of the Queen Mother, you and the holy cousin - Ye Lingxi." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Emperor Tianzhu and King Cheng were surprised, but even Izuku and Shen Yu were also surprised! At breakfast that day, Mrs. Tai was obviously talking about Zhuang Xiang's daughter, how could she be involved with the Ye family in Quzhou again? Aren't Mrs. Xie and Empress Dowager Ye mortal enemies?
In just a moment, it suddenly dawned on me that this Ye Lingcheng was the "second choice" that Mrs. Ritai said.
Sure enough, Mrs. Tai only didn't see the shocked looks of everyone, and sighed regretfully: "Hey! If you want to talk about identity and bloodline, Miss Ye is the most suitable...... But the old body didn't expect the Queen Mother to agree to this family business, so he found another daughter. ”
She paused deliberately, then turned to the expressionless Emperor of Heaven and said again: "The third lady of Lord Zuo Xiangzhuang happens to be fourteen years old, but she is just a concubine, and other than that, she is no longer impeccable. The old man thought about it before and after, marrying a wife and seeking talent, he shouldn't pay too much attention to the family, let alone the daughter of Lord Zhuang...... I just don't know if the Yun family has this blessing to be able to climb a kiss with the saint? ”
