But as the days passed, Ji Qingyun didn't have the slightest news from Ouyang Yun, he was anxious, for fear that Ouyang Yun would be disappointed in him, just when he was anxious, news came from the palace, and the queen mother and the emperor announced that he had entered the palace.

Ji Qingxuan thought something had happened, he hurried into the palace, came to the queen mother's bedroom, and saw that the queen mother and the emperor Ji Qingqi were waiting for him.

"Meet the queen mother, brother Huang, I don't know why I was summoned to the palace today?" Ji Qingxin said.

The emperor and the queen mother glanced at each other, and said solemnly: "Then I will say bluntly, you have reached the age of marriage, I have discussed with the queen mother, and I am ready to marry you and the prime minister's daughter Ouyang Yun." ”

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Ji Qingxing, he was trying his best to find his beloved woman, and the imperial brother over there wanted to marry him, Ji Qingxuan refused without hesitation.

was rejected by his younger brother, the emperor was a little annoyed, he also heard that Ji Qingxin has been looking for a woman recently, and he heard that the woman has a life-saving grace for Ji Qingyun, and Ji Qingyun seems to be interested in marrying that woman, but ......

The emperor continued: "You must know that you are not an ordinary person, you are the king of Yue, and you have never had the final say in your marriage. And Ouyang Cheng is in a high position, half of the officials in the DPRK and China are his protégés, if you marry Ouyang Yun, our royal family can get his support, I have just succeeded to the throne, the foundation is not stable, it is the best way for you and Ouyang Yun to marry. ”

"Then why didn't the imperial brother marry Ouyang Yun himself?" Ji Qingxuan argued.

The emperor knocked his fingers and said in a deep voice: "I already have a queen, Ouyang Yun can only be a concubine when she enters the palace, the prime minister must not want to, if you marry her, she will marry the concubine of King Yue, not to mention that you are the same age, just say that you are both civil and military, Ouyang Yun is dignified and beautiful, I see that you are also talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven." I know that you have been looking for a woman recently, and you want to marry her, but even if she is a young lady from an official family, her identity will never be greater than Ouyang Yun's, if you find her in a few days, I will allow you to be the concubine, and you will welcome her. But I have conditions, you can't treat Ouyang Yun badly, give her the treatment and glory of Princess Yue, this is the maximum I can do to you, do you understand. ”

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the Queen Mother took over the conversation and continued: "Emperor, the mourning family knows that you want to be with your beloved, but as far as the mourning family knows, you have only met her once, and you don't know anything about her identity and background, how can this work?" That Ouyang Yun had participated in a banquet in the palace a few years ago, when you were not traveling abroad, the mourning family had met once, that was a rare beauty, and her talent was also a famous leader in the capital, and she was born noble and had a gentle temperament, why are you dissatisfied? And didn't the emperor promise that if you find that woman, you will allow her to be the side concubine, second only to Ouyang Yun, the emperor can't mess around, this marriage has been agreed with the emperor, you can't refuse. ”

Ji Qingxuan clenched his fists and looked at the Queen Mother unwillingly, this was not to discuss marriage with him, this was just to inform him, and he couldn't refuse yet. He understood what this marriage meant, yes, if he married Ouyang Yun, he would be able to get the support of the prime minister, which was very important to them. Ji Qingyun learned from the pain and decided to agree, he thought to himself, as long as he gave her the position of Princess Ouyang Yun due respect, if he found her, explained it clearly to her, welcomed her as a side concubine, and loved her after entering the palace, the imperial brother and the queen mother couldn't care, but when he said the word yes to the imperial brother, he couldn't open his mouth.

Seeing that Ji Qingxuan stood there without reacting, it seemed that he had acquiesced, and the emperor hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Since you agreed, then tomorrow I will issue an order to give you a marriage, the wedding date is set for the sixth day of September next month, I will instruct the Ministry of Rites to assist you in preparing for the wedding, be sure to go with the Prime Minister to go through the etiquette of three books and six ceremonies, as for the dowry, I and the queen mother will pay half of it, you Yue Wangfu will pay the other half, and there is a big wedding dress, I will tell the Weaving Department to hurry up, and it will be completed within half a month, and then I will personally officiate the marriage and give you enough face." ”

Ji Qingxuan looked at the emperor coldly, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Huang really spared no effort, and the younger brother obeyed the order to thank him." ”

After speaking, Ji Qingxuan brushed his sleeves and turned to leave.

The queen mother and the emperor breathed a long sigh of relief, no matter what, Ji Qingxuan finally agreed, and then the emperor took his leave and went back to order the draft.

The next day, the decree of marriage was sent to King Yue's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion one after another, and Ji Qingxuan received the decree with an expressionless face and thanked him and turned to leave.

On the side of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Ouyang Yi and his wife Li and Ouyang Yun knelt at the door to listen to the order, and heard that the emperor gave the king and Ouyang Yun a marriage, Ouyang Yi's face was cloudy, the prime minister's wife bit her lip and lowered her head, Ouyang Yun's face was full of shock.

After sending off the people in the palace, Ouyang Yi asked his wife and daughter to go to the study together, and after the three of them were seated, Ouyang Yun had not yet recovered from the news of the marriage-

The emperor is going to marry her to King Yue, which means that she can no longer wait for him, she resists marrying King Yue in her heart, and she is a little resentful of why Ji Qingyun didn't find her earlier, she never expected that the emperor would suddenly decree marriage...

At this time, the Prime Minister's wife suddenly sobbed, she looked at Ouyang Prime Minister and said with tears: "Husband, what can I do, I don't want Yun'er to marry King Yue, although it is a concubine, but the two have never met, there is no emotion at all, how can it compare to the happiness of staying with the person you love for a lifetime, if King Yue does not like Yun'er in the future, and accepts concubines, how can my child be good......"

Ouyang Yi sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "This can't be helped, the emperor gives marriage, we can't resist the decree, this will involve the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, Yun'er... Yun'er must marry in the past, but fortunately, there is no side concubine in King Yue's mansion now, and King Yue is handsome and handsome, a talent, if it weren't for my previous intention of the Ming family, King Yue would also be a good person.

Ouyang Yun was surprised and surprised: "What does Daddy mean by this?" ”

Ouyang Cheng said: "I originally wanted to marry you to Ming Han, the Ming family has been a doctor for generations, from a famous family, and his mother and your mother are handkerchiefs, but God will make people." ”

Listening to his father talk about the Ming family, Ouyang Yun remembered, Lingcheng Ming family, her mother is Lingcheng people's family, born in the Li family, Mrs. Ming Cui Hanyu and her mother personally met each other, they are very close friends, and later the mother married her father to the capital, Cui's married the Ming family and stayed in Lingcheng, when she was a child, her mother often took her back to Lingcheng, and also visited the Ming family, Mrs. Ming has a cheerful personality and likes her very much. Mrs. Ming has a son named Ming Han under her knees, she and Ming Han used to play very well, but then her father was busy with affairs, and they didn't go back for nearly two years...

Ouyang Yi said solemnly: "The wedding date given by the emperor is next month, and there is not much time, that is, we can't change the facts, so we will hurry up and prepare, what dowry does Yun'er want, just open your mouth, and promise your father that you will definitely marry in style." ”

Ouyang Yun was a little depressed, and she said weakly: "It's up to Daddy to decide." ”

Ouyang Yun returned to the courtyard in a daze, and heard her subordinates saying congratulatory words from time to time along the way, her mind was very confused, and she had no time to pay attention to it, so she locked herself in the room.

Yue Wangfu

Mo Feng pushed open the door and saw Ji Qingxuan sitting on the chair unsettled, and said tentatively: "Lord Wang, the people from the Ministry of Rites are here with things, I don't know what instructions the Lord has?" ”

Ji Qingxuan came back to his senses, he covered his face with his hands, and said in a dull voice: "Go to the treasury to count the things, leave twenty boxes of things to marry the side concubine in the future, and send the rest to the Prime Minister's Mansion, obey the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, and make sure that the Prime Minister's Mansion is satisfied." ”。

Ji Qingyun had already thought about it in the past few days, he sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take a peek, and knew that the prime minister was not very satisfied with the marriage, but they were forced to agree, even so, then he would give Ouyang Yun a grand and grand wedding as compensation.
