Chapter 20 Forced Marriage

"What new discoveries have the prince made these days?"

"During the Dragon Boat Luncheon, Xu Xiu tried to test Ji Chunban, and did not hesitate to harm Ji Chunban's children with his own hands."

"In this case, it seems that Xu Xiujun is really as the spy said, and he hates Zheng Rui."

"So what am I going to do next?"

"The prince revealed some of Xu Xiujun's whereabouts, and let Xu Xiujun's spies follow alone, if Xu Xiujun really wants to cooperate, he will definitely take the initiative to contact you, you just need to wait for Xu Xiujun's news."

Then Feng Chu handed Fu Yao a letter.

"What is this?"

"When Xu Xiujun came to Shuping to ask for medicine, it was good for the prince to use it as a condition."

"Thank you, Lord Feng."

After going back, Fu Yao has been waiting for the right time, after all, it is not easy to let Sheng Lianshuo be suspicious, and to let Xu Xiujun's people notice.

A few days later, Fu Yao finally found the right time, and after leaving the guardhouse, he mysteriously walked into a tavern. In order not to expose the Drunken Immortal Tower, Feng Chu changed the location.

Fu Yao stayed in the tavern for half an hour before coming out, and after coming out, he looked left and right, pretending to be afraid of being discovered.

In the next few days, Fu Yao went to the tavern several times intermittently.

Sure enough, Xu Xiujun sent someone to call Fu Yao.

"Dare to ask Concubine Xu what is the matter with her ministers?"

"The minions don't know."

Fu Yao still asked the man a few words first, after all, he had to do a full set of plays.

When he came to Anhong Palace, Xu Xiujun had been waiting for Fu Yao for a long time, and when he saw Fu Yao, Xu Xiujun asked his subordinates to go out, leaving only the two of them.

"Concubine Xu." Fu Yao still respectfully saluted Xu Xiujun.

"Commander Fu."

"I don't know what happened to the concubine, but she personally sent someone to call the ministers to Anhong Palace?"

"It's not a big deal, but I heard from the people in this palace that Commander Fu went to the tavern as a guest every day, and he went for more than half an hour."

"It is true. The minister just went to drink some wine, and didn't bother the concubine. ”​

"Really? But this palace heard that before Commander Fu, the Shuping people also came. And you always leave after the people of Na Pingping have left. Is it just a coincidence, you say?"

"It's just a coincidence, of course."

"You said that if this palace goes to the king, you have won the king's trust with great difficulty, isn't it?" Xu Xiujun said half of the words, but she knew that Fu Yao understood.

"Heh, the concubine has decided that the minister has an affair with Shuping?"

"Don't dare, this palace doesn't dare to jump to conclusions. Everything this palace did was just for the sake of Shao Chong, and he would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than let one go. ”​

"In that case, what does the concubine want her ministers to do?"

"Commander Fu is really smart, he can understand everything." Xu Xiujun didn't find out Shuping's attitude at the moment, so she didn't want to cooperate with Shuping, she just wanted Fu Yao to agree to something.

"The concubine might as well say it directly, why beat around the bush?"

"Ning'er, this kid has long been pleased with you, so this palace wants Commander Fu to marry Ning'er as his wife."

Seeing that Fu Yao didn't speak, Xu Xiujun spoke again: "This palace knows that you are not interesting to Ning'er, but Ning'er has always been clamoring to marry you these days. Ning'er is not young anymore, there is only one niece in this palace, Ning'er, who has been spoiled since she was a child, and this palace doesn't want Ning'er to be unhappy. Commander Fu thinks about it?"

"In that case, the minister wants to ask the concubine to see something." Fu Yao took out the letter from Feng Chu from his sleeve, unfolded it and showed it to Xu Xiujun in front of his eyes.

"You...... How is this letter in your hands? Who the hell are you?" Xu Xiujun would never have thought that Fu Yao would have this letter, in the end, Xu Xiujun still underestimated him.

"Concubine just now, didn't you still doubt the relationship between the minister and Shuping, and forget about it now?" Xu Xiujun wanted to snatch the letter from Fu Yao's hand, but Fu Yao's eyes were quick and he took the letter back in one fell swoop.

Xu Xiujun saw that he had a handle in Fu Yao's hand, so he restrained himself a little and sorted out his expression.

"Commander Fu threatens the palace?"

"Don't you dare, don't you have the same handle in your hands?"

"What does Commander Fu want?"

"Why don't we each take a step back? The minister promised the concubine to marry Miss Xu, but she could only be a side lady, what does the concubine think?"

"This ......"

"It doesn't matter if the concubine doesn't want to. It's a big deal, you and I are dead. It's just that I don't know if the king will believe the words of the concubine or the true evidence of the minister? As far as the minister knows, the death of the first princess has always been a pain for the king. Chan wants to ...... The concubine doesn't want to make you and me lose because of Xu Fanning's matter, right?"

"Okay, Hongu promises you. In a few days, it will be the birthday banquet of the palace, and the palace will ask Ning Er to propose it to the king, and when the time comes, Commander Fu will remember to agree. ”​

"That's nature. If the concubine has nothing else to do, the minister will retreat first. ”​

Xu Xiujun was threatened for the first time, and she was still a lot younger than her, so she naturally couldn't swallow this breath, thinking about how to get it back from Fu Yao in the future.

Although Xu Xiujun has been at odds with Sheng Lianshuo over the years, he still has to do it on the surface, and this birthday banquet naturally can't be too simple, so it was organized early.

Xu Fanning knew that her aunt had already told Fu Yao that she was very excited, and she didn't fall asleep for several days.

On the fifth day of July, Xu Xiujun was born.

The palace was lively, and many people came, all of whom came to celebrate Xu Xiujun's birthday.

In the evening, it was still a banquet for everyone to get together, listen to songs and enjoy music, and everything was carried out in such an orderly manner.

However, soon it will be even more lively.

Xu Fanning danced at the end of the dance, standing on the hall, many people were full of praise and were amazed.

"Good! I didn't expect Ning'er's dancing to have improved so much, I think you were still the little girl who didn't know anything back then. Xu Xiujun joked.

"My aunt is used to making fun of Ning'er, and Ning'er just knows a little bit about fur."

"Since the jump is over, then Ning'er will take a seat first."

Xu Fanning still stood on the hall and did not move.

"What's wrong?"

"Auntie, Ning'er...... I want to ask for a reward. ”​

"Now Ning'er has also learned to ask for rewards from this palace, what do you want?" Xu Xiujun said with a smile.

Fu Yao knew that Xu Fanning was about to say that he wanted to marry him, although he knew in advance, he was still a little worried, he was afraid that Sheng Yunzhi would be sad, and he was reluctant to say cruel things to Sheng Yunzhi.

"Ning'er wants to marry Commander Fu."

As soon as Xu Fanning's words came out, everyone present was amazed again, and everyone was talking about something.

"What?" Sheng Yunzhi, who was drinking tea, suddenly heard Xu Fanning's words and almost choked.

"Ning'er knows that she is not worthy of Commander Fu, and Ning'er does not want to be Commander Fu's wife, just be a side lady."

"This marriage is not something that this king can decide, Miss Xu should ask Fu Yao's opinion first." Sheng Lianshuo was sure that Fu Yao would not agree, and replied casually.

"Ning'er is gentle, virtuous and versatile, and the minister thinks this marriage is very good."

"What?" Sheng Lianshuo's heart also sent out such a question, "I'm afraid you have a problem with your brain." ”

"Have you thought about it?" Sheng Lianshuo wanted to confirm again.

"The minister has thought about it. The king, the courtiers drank a little too much wine and felt unwell, so they retired first. Fu Yao didn't want to say more, he was afraid that he would regret what he said again.

After Fu Yao agreed, Sheng Lianshuo couldn't say anything more, after all, it was Sheng Lianshuo himself who asked him to answer, so he had to make an order.

"Now that Ning'er's marriage is confirmed, Haoxi's marriage should also be put on the agenda, you can't marry your sister earlier than your sister."

"Haoxi doesn't want to marry yet, so don't bother the concubine."

Xu Xiujun knew that Sheng Yunzhi would reject her, and she had already made all preparations. Since Zheng Hui didn't let her get better, then she couldn't let Zheng Hui's child get better.

"This is the will of the kings." Xu Xiujun handed over the will of the first king to Sun Zhi, and Sun Zhi gave it to Sheng Lianshuo.

After Sheng Lianshuo finished reading, Xu Xiujun spoke again: "The first king has actually already set a marriage contract between you and Cheng Yu, the second son of Cheng, and this palace wanted to find a suitable time to tell you, but I didn't say it because I saw that you had no intention of marrying." Now that you're not too young, Hongu feels it's time to tell you. ”​

Sheng Yunzhi looked at Sheng Lianshuo suspiciously, Sheng Lianshuo nodded and told Sheng Yunzhi that what Xu Xiujun said was true. At this time, Sheng Yunzhi's mind was chaotic, all kinds of things were piled up, she just wanted to go to Fu Yao to ask for clarification.

"Can the concubine wait for a while, Haoxi wants to go out first to take a breath."

"Okay." Xu Xiujun knew that it was impossible for Sheng Yunzhi to change Fu Yao's meaning, so he agreed.

"Thank you, Princess." Sheng Yunzhi hurriedly ran out of the hall after getting Xu Xiujun's permission.
