Chapter 450: Marriage First and Love Later
Xi Yang didn't want to see guests, mainly because he felt that acting was tiring, and he had to put on makeup.
But Luqiu Qingxue is the future sister-in-law, and she is still very face-saving.
Of course, she didn't fall behind when she should put on makeup, and with a pair of haggard faces, she ordered someone to invite Luqiu Qingxue into the hall of the main courtyard.
The last time Luqiu Qingxue saw Xi Yang, it was when she was in the hunting ground, did she really not expect that after half a month, Xi Yang looked like she had lost a lot of weight?
"You ......" she wanted to say something comforting, but she felt that her words were so pale that she didn't know what to say for a while.
It was Xi Yang who asked her calmly: "Last time you fell into the water, didn't you fall into any illness?" ”
Luqiu Qingxue shook her head and replied, "Fortunately, it's not cold yet. ”
After a pause, she explained one more sentence: "Prince Xi is careful in his work, although the incident was urgent at that time, I didn't end up with anything bad." ”
The implication: I didn't ruin my reputation because I got wet.
Xi Yang has already heard about this.
Xi Heng jumped into the lake as soon as possible, grabbed in front of Wei Qiao and rescued Luqiu Qingxue, and the first thing he did when he came up was to let the little girl take his cloak and wrap her, so that no one could see the unsightly side.
"It's not your fault." Xi Yang can still understand that Lu Qiu Qingxue said this, more or less concerned about this matter, and was probably still worried that she would ruin Xi Heng's reputation, so it would disgrace her, the princess regent.
At this point, Xi Yang gave absolute affirmation: "You are a victim. ”
Luqiu Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, but still said, "Fortunately, it's him." ”
If it's Wei Qiao......
She was afraid that she would be forced to marry Wei Qiao.
However, to her surprise, Xi Yang smiled faintly and said, "Even if Wei Qiao takes the lead, things are not so perfect, as long as you are willing, my eldest brother will not care about this little thing." ”
Although Xiheng is a native of ancient times, his heart is not so narrow-minded.
In particular, with a sister like her, who is so bold and liberalized, she will be more or less infected and assimilated.
Luqiu Qingxue didn't continue to talk about this topic, and instead asked, "Have you not eaten well recently?" ”
Xi Yang: "......"
She wanted to say: three meals a day are delicious, even if she enters the pharmacy, Cai Qing and they will not allow her to miss a single meal.
But the less people know about Zong Zhengyu's life, the better, so she didn't say much, but said: "I have three meals, but ...... After all, something bad happens, and it takes me a while to accept it. ”
In fact, the big truck has to come back every night, and even if she refuses to be run over by him, he has to come back and sleep next to his wife.
Before, she really didn't expect that the cold regent was quite clingy and ascetic dog man, but he was actually very lustful!
Luqiu Qingxue sighed, and didn't know what to say.
The two words of mourning seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she couldn't open her mouth.
But Xi Yang said again: "You don't have to worry, I will adjust for a while, and sooner or later it will be fine." The pain will pass, Yangguan Avenue is waiting for me! ”
Absolutely true.
When Zong Zhengyu catches all the stinky rats behind him, he will be "resurrected".
"If you think so, I don't have much more to persuade." Lu Qiu Qingxue sighed in her heart: It's just that you can talk like this, and you have to do it.
Xi Yang said again: "My eldest brother seems to be leaving Beijing on an errand, and your marriage should not be able to set a date this year." ”
After being promoted to the squire of the Ministry of Works, Xiheng was still responsible for the water control of the Xuanhe River.
He needs to go to the field to investigate, so that he can use some ideas given by Xi Yang to determine the water control fortifications in combination with reality.
In the previous spring and summer flood period, it was not suitable for water conservancy fortifications, and Xiheng just sent trustworthy people to do a comprehensive investigation of the river situation.
In the autumn into the dry season, the water is falling out, and Xiheng must take this trip.
"He mentioned it to me." Lu Qiu Qingxue said: "It's just to set the marriage, nothing else." ”
But: "I have something I don't understand. ”
"Tell me about it." Xi Yang is actually a bit of gossip, I want to know how she talked to Xi Heng, it couldn't be a very polite and detached conversation, right?
According to the temperament of the two, it is very likely!
Luqiu Qingxue didn't know what she was thinking, so she asked her doubts: "Now the regent is he...... After all, the emperor is young, and the court is employing people, and when the eldest prince leaves Beijing, won't the emperor's side be even more empty? ”
"That's the problem." Xi Yang said very simply: "Isn't there still my grandfather?" Plus there are a lot of talents on the side of Hyunkook, isn't it? ”
Luqiu Qingxue fell silent.
Seeing the corners of her lips pursed, Xi Yang tentatively guessed: "You...... Your marriage to my eldest brother is more or less affected by the situation between the DPRK and China, do you mind? ”
After all, this great beauty likes Xiheng, but Xiheng's proposal is to marry and consolidate his power.
From the woman's point of view, Luqiu Qingxue, who is regarded as a tool man, should be unhappy, right?
Luqiu Qingxue raised her eyes to look at her, and said honestly: "It's really a little unpleasant, but ...... I also knew that I didn't have a choice. ”
Xi Yang shook his head again and again, and said, "Since you have thought of this problem, why don't you think about another possibility?" ”
Luqiu Qingxue looked at her suspiciously: "What is possible?" ”
Xi Yang smiled and said, "Love after marriage!" ”
Luqiu Qingxue: "??? ”
"You're not only good-looking, you're also talented and radiant. My eldest brother's eyes are above the top, except for you, who can't look down on other girls at all. Xi Yang said with great confidence: "He used to have no affection for you and you. But isn't that because you don't get along much? ”
She gave Luqiu Qingxue a soothing smile and continued: "You are usually a cold fairy, when a man sees it, even if he likes you, he will feel that he can't climb high." But my eldest brother is actually very easy to get along with, you see each other more, talk more, and your feelings can still be cultivated! ”
After hearing so much, Lu Qiu Qingxue still felt very mysterious, thinking that she was talking to comfort herself.
Xi Yang said again: "The point is, if you don't like it, my eldest brother won't use his life's events as a tool." ”
Xiheng is not an unscrupulous person for the sake of power.
It's one thing not to exclude marriage, but there are no less than five of the gateways in this imperial capital that can tie with the Xianguo Mansion, so why didn't he marry with other families and chose Luqiu Qingxue?
If you don't like it, it's impossible.
“??” Lu Qiu Qingxue was a little surprised, she said this.
After hesitating for a while, she couldn't believe it and said, "You mean, he's ...... How much do you like me? ”
