Chapter 13 Marriage Proposal
Cloud Mansion, inside Yazheng Xuan.
Jun Qianfeng turned the teacup and said coldly: "Yun Xichen, when did you marry Nangong Wan'er." β
His eyes looked at Yun Xichen who was calmly tasting tea, and he was a little displeased: "I have to make sure that the Nangong family is on our side, are you not mentioning the relatives now because you plan to let Nangong Wan'er marry the crown prince to contribute to them?" He sneered, "Jun Qianchen has liked her since she was a child. β
Yun Xichen's face was silent, he just stared at the teacup and chuckled: "Second Highness, what is the hurry, it is impossible for Nangong Yao to marry Nangong Wan'er to him before the crown prince ascends the throne." He got up and walked back and forth in the room, "Nangong Yao has not stood in line so far, and he is still neutral, which proves that he has no intention of fighting for the storage position between you at all. So in the future, he will remain neutral. β
"But if he marries Nangong Wan'er to the prince, it is equivalent to telling the world that he belongs to the prince's line-Nangong Yao, that old fox, will not do this." Yun Xichen fixed his steps and looked at Jun Qianfeng with a smile.
"So he would marry his daughter to a person who was not royal. And you, undoubtedly the first choice. Jun Qianfeng hooked the corners of his mouth lightly, "Brother Xichen, if you go to propose, Nangong Yao will definitely agree." β
"It's nature." Yun Xichen arched his hand to Jun Qianfeng and said, "But I think Nangong Wan'er is not easy to control, she is a decent person, if she finds out about our actions, it may become a stumbling block for us." Yun Xichen looked very worried.
"Heh, it's just a woman, if she stops it, just dispose of it." Jun Qianfeng was quite indifferent, thinking that this was not a matter at all.
"But if we dispose of it, the Nangong family won't help us."
Jun Qianfeng's brows furrowed deeply, and his heart was indeed like this.
"Then Brother Yi Xichen?"
"I think the second lady of the Nangong family is good." Yun Xichen smiled deeply, as if he had made some calculations.
"Nangong Ya'er? She has been hidden by Nangong Yao for so many years, either she is a sick man, or she can't see anyone if there is any problem. Now that I'm going to get married, I don't come out until I get married, and every time I wear a veil, maybe I'm disfigured. Do you dare to marry her? Jun Qianfeng said strangely.
"It's better that no one dares to marry her, and it's better if there's any problem. In this way, even if Nangong Ya'er is not favored at home, just because I helped Nangong Yao so much, he will do his best to help me if he feels guilty. β
"If you don't marry such a big beauty, if that's the case, you'll have to follow a sick man from now on." Jun Qianchen sneered.
"Hehe, can't you wait for His Royal Highness to complete ......the great cause" Yun Xichen sneered twice, and a touch of slaughter flashed in his eyes.
"Tut-tut. You're a ...... It's scary," Jun Qianfeng laughed when he heard this, "But I like it." β
He got up and patted Yun Xichen's shoulder meaningfully: "If you sincerely help me, I will not treat you badly." But if you have other thoughts......" He laughed dangerously, and finally glanced at him sharply only in the moment of passing by, and commanded, "Move, be fast." β
Yun Xichen didn't speak, just smiled and bowed his head to see him off.
After Jun Qianfeng left.
"Why should the prince be with wolves." Elder Li was still vigilantly staring at the direction Jun Qianfeng left.
"Because of the wolf, of course...... It works. Yun Xichen had a warm smile on his face.
Li Lao looked away, but his expression was still serious: "The prince really wants to marry that Nangong Ya'er?" β
Yun Xichen didn't say anything, just nodded almost imperceptibly.
"Until now, my subordinates still hope that the prince can live as he wants." Elder Li lowered his eyes, "She must also hope that her son can live happily......"
Yun Xichen raised his head and took a deep breath, and inadvertently, his eyes turned red: "There is no way out, I will make them pay." β
"Lord Wang. Subordinate, subordinate...... "Li Lao didn't know whether to say it or not, standing there a little flustered.
"You say." Yun Xichen noticed something abnormal.
"The subordinates have gone to Miao Village." Li Lao dodged his gaze and didn't dare to look at him.
"What!" Yun Xichen pressed his shoulders with both hands, and his expression revealed eagerness, "You, have you seen her......"
Li Lao lowered his eyes and shook his head regretfully. With such a small movement, Yun Xichen directly took two steps back and leaned against the table in the hall, and for the first time there was no smile on his face - it was the kind of walking corpse-like numbness and sluggishness.
When he went down, he saw only the girl's family. I heard from the people in the village that she was going to marry a big family in Hedong. β
"Hedong...... "Oh ......," he repeated as if whispering, sneering a little decadently, "I expected that, didn't I?" β
Li Lao was a little unbearable, but he didn't know where to start with his comforting words.
He slowly closed his eyes, as if he were asleep. Li Lao was silent and retreated.
If she was well, he wouldn't bother.
So be it......
As a child in the palace, he felt lonely even when he was surrounded by more people. At that time, he still had his mother and friends, but he still felt that he was an orphan who was bound by the walls of the Ten Mile Palace. But later when he came to Miao Village, she was the only one, but he felt that he had the whole world. That girl is amazing, ten years later, he still thinks about her, when he thinks of her...... It's still like that, like the summer sunβwarm.
That's why when he walked out of the sun, he felt so dark and cold, and he was so greedy for that rare lotus-like time.
Ten years have passed, and the obsession with her is still getting worse when she falls into the abyss step by step.
Memories of the past flashed through her mind like a movie, and many scenes had been blurred, but her voice and smile were particularly clearly engraved in her heart. He saw the girl's starry eyes again, her sun-like figure, and the song on the boat that day.
The tune of that day has long been forgotten, but for some reason Nangong Ya'er's singing voice sounded in my ears-
"On the way out of the country, the footsteps are stained with dust."
"Tsing Yi Gu, leave a touch of Chuchu,"
"The wanderer is bitter, who to complain to, where did the west wind road pass!"
"The end of the world, can you have a hometown voice to accompany you on the way home?"
Like a spring blowing through the heart, it feels like it is on the boat that day.
I thought of the glimpse of the theater that day......
Who is that enigmatic woman? What was the purpose of her coming to the capital?
"I'll find out someday." He clenched his fist firmly.
β¦β¦
On that day, the gift team at the door of Nangong's house lined up for a full ten miles, and each car was full of boxes of dowry gifts. Nangong Yao looked at the bridal list in front of him with a little surprise, and then looked at Yun Xichen who was sitting on a tall horse with a smile on his face.
"This ......"
"This is all contemptible sincerity, and I hope that the head of the Nangong family will not shirk."
Nangong Yao's face was a little embarrassed, and he didn't answer immediately, but just asked:
"Childe, can you wait a moment?"
Yun Xichen nodded, and was invited by the maid of the Nangong family to wait in the side hall.
The main hall at this time-
"I'm not married!" Wan'er shouted at Nangong Yao. promised Lin Peipei, she would never break her word.
"What can I do when this person is at the door, can I still leave it to you now?" Lin Cui sat on the chair and said calmly, she also wanted her daughter to choose a husband according to her own heart.
"Anyway, I won't get married." Wan'er can't do it herself, so she can only play tricks.
Xiao Han watched this familiar scene from the side, and understood Wan'er very well, but he couldn't help.
"Wan'er, if you have a will, we still have an excuse, but you obviously don't have it, but you refute other people's face like this, how can you let your father be an official, how to be a person?" Nangong Yao felt that no matter what happened this time, he couldn't let his daughter be willful, after all, this Yun Xichen was also a high authority and could not be neglected.
"I ...... Who said I didn't! I have someone I want to marry! Wan'er yelled desperately. Lin Cui Nangong Yao was shocked when she heard this, and the two looked at each other and were about to interrogate, but Wan'er had already dragged Xiao Han out of the main hall.
"What can I do about this......" Nangong Yao walked around the main hall, very embarrassed. Lin Cui also had no choice but to say: "Now I can only refute the face of Lord Yun." Prepare some generous gifts and send them to Yunfu for a while, as for Wan'er's girl...... Come back and ask again. β
Nangong Yao nodded approvingly: "That's the only way, I'll go and make amends with Lord Yun." β
Partial hall.
"What is the head of the Nangong family considering?" Yun Xichen waited for a long time, but he didn't see any impatience, and always had a kind smile.
"That ......" Nangong Yao seemed to hesitate when he gave the dowry slip to his subordinates, or handed the dowry slip back to him with his own hands, got up and apologized repeatedly, "The little girl Wan'er already has someone she loves is not worthy of the prince, and I hope that the prince understands and finds a good wife, and will send someone to apologize later, and I hope the prince will smile and accept it." β
"What? Wan'er? β
In front of him, Yun Xichen was stunned, and then reacted and couldn't help laughing: "The head of the Nangong family misunderstood, I am not mentioning Wan'er but the second lady of your family, Miss Ya'er." β
"What? Yaer! β
