Chapter 278: The Marriage Contract Is Coming
Song Qianmei touched Yuanbao's head with a smile, and after being silent for a few seconds, he asked, "Then let Grandma Sun watch you write first, my mother still has some things to do, how about coming to Yuanbao when I'm done?"
Yuan Bao nodded obediently and replied, "Okay."
Then Song Qian walked up to Grandma Sun and bowed slightly, saying, "Then it will trouble Grandma Sun."
"Song Niangzi is polite, this is what a slave should do." Saying that, Mama Sun walked to the bookcase, picked up the ink strip and began to study ink for the ingots.
Song Qian looked at this and turned his head to leave with confidence, and when he hadn't stepped out of the threshold, he turned to look at Changfeng and motioned for him to leave with him.
Changfeng didn't know why, so he hurriedly followed.
After coming to the courtyard and making sure that the people in the house couldn't see them, Song Qian turned to Changfeng and asked, "Did something happen to Mama Liu, who took care of Yuanbao before?"
Hearing this, he was startled, and he didn't know how to answer Song Qian, so he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing this, Song Qian secretly exhaled, and then said, "If Mama Liu didn't have an accident, how could she be easily replaced? Did she do something to ingots? Or is she an eyeliner sent in?"
After some hesitation, remembering Ji Changye's instructions, Changfeng finally kept his mouth shut, did not tell the truth, and hurriedly made up a lie to deal with Song Qian, saying, "Mama Liu has something at home, and she doesn't have the extra energy to take care of Yuanbao. Wang Ye remembered the situation in her house, so he did not let him leave, but continued to work, but the work was much easier than before, and he could go back to take care of the family in his spare time."
"I see. Since it's okay, it's good, and Mama Liu is also a poor person." Song Qian looked at Changfeng's sincere face, and finally chose to believe him, and didn't doubt anything anymore.
This made Changfeng breathe a sigh of relief, perhaps because he was afraid that he would leak his mouth again, so he hurriedly excused himself and left Song Qian's eyes and walked away.
At the same time, when thinking about the purpose of the Queen Mother, Ji Changye made up his mind and entered the palace to prepare to find the emperor to marry him and Song Qian as soon as possible.
When the Emperor heard his request, he hesitated. After all, at this juncture, the marriage is over, firstly, because he has no way to delay the Queen Mother and Xiao Xirou, and secondly, Ji Changye and Song Qian are now on the cusp of the storm, which is likely to cause disaster.
But Ji Changye still insisted: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the consequences will be borne by the minister, and I hope that Your Majesty can allow the minister and Song Niangzi to get married as soon as possible." His appearance was very determined, and it could be seen that he couldn't wait.
The emperor looked at him and stopped talking, but in an instant, he thought clearly about what Ji Changye was doing this.
Ji Changye knew that the marriage contract between himself and Song Qian was something that everyone was eyeing up, especially the Queen Mother, and they had to use this as an introduction to make the Queen Mother unable to sit still, and also to deceive the Queen Mother and the Xiao family's conspiracy.
Thinking about these clearly, the emperor couldn't help but feel sorry for Ji Changye, after all, he did this for the sake of the entire court and the emperor's rule, and for the sake of the overall situation.
The emperor also thought about the overall situation, and finally chose to agree to Ji Changye's request, perhaps because he was afraid that it would really bring trouble, so he faintly made up for it and said: "Your dowry and Song Qian's dowry, and I will send someone to arrange the big and small matters at the wedding, and then let the Ministry of Rites choose a nearby auspicious day for the two of you." When the time comes, let Song Qian marry in the palace in a beautiful manner, and I will be the main marrying person myself, I don't know what you think?"
"The minister and Mrs. Song thank Your Majesty for your gift." Ji Chang couldn't help but be happy at night, and kowtowed excitedly.
Maybe this will also allow them to have a lover and eventually become married. The Emperor thought so, easing the guilt in his heart and the worry that they might be in trouble next.
Just as the dust had settled on this matter, the emperor looked at Ji Changye, who had not yet left, and asked a little strangely, "Do you have anything else?" Or is there something wrong with the wedding? You might as well say it together, so that it doesn't get into trouble at that time."
I saw Ji Changye kneeling on the ground without saying anything, and respectfully requested, "The minister dares to ask Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate my father
The truth about the murder of the mother and even the entire royal palace that year. The minister worries about this matter day and night, and it is really unbearable to this day, so I beg your majesty to agree to the minister." He saw that the time was almost up, so he struck while the iron was hot and told the matter of the marriage contract, so that the emperor was likely to agree.
The Emperor was visibly hesitant.
After all, there were too many things involved back then, and if you want to find out, it is not so easy, many evidence and witnesses have disappeared or there is no way to recall the truth of the year, and it is easy to startle the snake, not to mention the real murderer, even the truth is very likely to be manipulated.
In this regard, the emperor persuaded Ji Changye and said, "Do you really want to investigate the truth of the year? If I tell you that this matter is not as easy as you think, and if you can investigate it, would you be willing to say that you are easily calculated and put in danger?"
"Back to Your Majesty, no matter what the outcome of the decision made by the minister, he will not easily regret it. The minister also knows that after so many years, the truth is not easy to say, even if he knows who did it, but thinking that that person is definitely powerful now, the minister can't fight. But Shen didn't have any other luxuries, he just wanted to give back to his father, his mother, and hundreds of people in the palace to untie the knot in his heart for so many years. Your Majesty is right, the minister is indeed a little afraid, afraid that Song Niangzi and Yuanbao, as well as Changfeng and King Jin, will be involved and be in danger. Therefore, the minister also wants to ask Your Majesty, if you can investigate this matter, please send someone to protect their safety, they are innocent, and all the consequences will be borne by the minister alone." Ji Changye said and kowtowed heavily.
Knowing that Ji Changye's temperament was stubborn, he had no way to dissuade him, so the emperor agreed: "Don't worry, I will allow these things, but I still have to remind you, be careful not to be calculated." If there is anything about the wedding, go to the Ministry of Rites, and if you want anything in my name, just ask."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Ji Changye didn't refuse the emperor anymore, after all, the advantage of this rush is not taken advantage of.
Soon, the news that Ji Changye and Song Qian's drama was about to happen spread from the emperor's study to the queen mother's bedroom.
The Queen Mother slapped the table in disbelief and angrily said, "No matter how you say it, the mourning family has raised it personally, and you don't tell the mourning family about such a big thing, discuss it with the mourning family!" Could it be that he is a regent, and he is so malicious and freewheeling? His Majesty was really deceived by him, and he agreed to his request so easily!" As she spoke, she rubbed her sore heart and temples, looking tired.
The old eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help the Queen Mother pinch her shoulders, and persuaded her: "The Queen Mother, you have a noble phoenix body, how can you make a big deal for such a trivial matter and hurt your body? It's not an exaggeration."
"Otherwise, what else can the mourning family do? Do you just watch? Watching the regent break away from the palm of the mourning family, being coaxed by Song Qian's rhetorical person? Or do you want to watch him go against the mourners?" The Queen Mother is now angry, and she doesn't know how to digest this matter.
The eunuch was afraid that if he said anything more, he would arouse the dissatisfaction of the Queen Mother, so he changed the topic and said, "Queen Mother, look at your old man, this is a white porcelain vase sent by the Internal Affairs Office, how about it?" As he spoke, he handed over the valuable porcelain vase.
But at this time, the queen mother was absent-minded, and even very irritable, so she pushed the porcelain bottle to the ground with a push, and the crisp breaking sound came, and the eunuch froze in disbelief, and quickly reacted and knelt on the ground to care about the queen mother first: "The slave should die, the slave should die." I also hope that the Queen Mother will not blame her, and the slave will call the Imperial Doctor to come."
"Well, the mourning family was not hurt, but they were frightened. This white porcelain vase is not a rare object, if it is broken, it will be broken, after all, it is safe to be broken, and it must also be a disaster for the mourning family." The Queen Mother can only comfort herself like this, but she really doesn't care about the value of this white porcelain vase, after all, she is the Queen Mother. And the top priority at the moment is how to prevent Ji Changye and Song Qian from getting married, and there is no need to care about these inconsequential things. ap.
The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and hurriedly asked people to clean up the place, and then retreated with the others, after all, it was better not to wander on the cusp of the storm, so as not to provoke fire.
After thinking about it, the Queen Mother took the lead in telling Xiao Xirou about this matter, and wanted to ask too
She had any idea to solve this called matter, but Xiao Xirou didn't have anything to do after hearing it except anger and unbelievable worry, which couldn't help but disappoint the Queen Mother.
"The only and most risky way at the moment is to make a mess at the wedding banquet on the big wedding day, and turn the world upside down, even if the two of them get married, they will not escape being poked in the back. What do you think, Queen Mother?" Xiao Xirou thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with this idea.
The Queen Mother thought about it and nodded: "It's still reasonable for what you said, then follow your ideas." It's a big deal that both sides lose, no matter what, the Queen Mother will not let the wedding go on smoothly.
Xiao Xirou's worried eyes drooped, and she was a little skeptical and worried about whether her plan would succeed, after all, if the Queen Mother was exposed, she would definitely confess herself, and what should Ji Qirui do when the time comes? So Xiao Xirou couldn't help but regret why she had to answer the Queen Mother's question just now.
But now it's too late to say anything, so I can only accept my fate.
At the same time, Ji Changye had already left the palace and returned to the Regent's Palace. Changfeng and He Yujin, who came to greet him, saw that his eyes were full of spring breeze, and he guessed what good things were happening, so they chased after him and asked, "Is there something good happening?"
Ji Changye didn't answer them immediately, but looked around looking for Song Qian's figure.
At this time, Song Qian, who didn't know why, came from the backyard with Yuanbao, ready to make some food, and suddenly saw Ji Changye panting looking for himself, so he stepped forward and asked, "Lord Wang, you are looking for me, is there something wrong?"
When Ji Changye saw Song Qian, he couldn't wait to tell Song Qian about the emperor's promise to the marriage contract between the two.
This made Song Qian a little surprised for a while, because she didn't expect it to come so suddenly, after all, she had been delayed again and again, and she didn't even have a little hope, but she didn't expect to be promised a marriage contract now.
He Yujin happily said, "It's really good news! Song Niangzi and Ji Changye were finally able to achieve positive results now, which is really a great joy! I'm going to hurry up and write to tell Brother Jiu." With that, he couldn't wait to turn around and leave the place.
But Yuan Bao was sullen.
