Chapter 46: Forced Marriage

With the arrival of Xia Zhende, the Yangyuan Hall began to take vegetables, and the maidservants brought delicacies to the table.

After the two exchanged a few words, Xia Zhende seemed to look at the location of the palace gate with some doubts, turned his head to Yan Zongzhi who was waiting on the side and asked, "Why hasn't Yun'er come yet?" Didn't she say that she missed the king and nephew, and wanted to come to dinner together? Yan Daban, go and see if Yun'er has been delayed by something! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Yan Zongzhi got the order, he had to go out.

Just kidding, what happened in this palace is something that Xia Zhende doesn't know?

Not to mention, Li Fu just beat Xia Qingyun with his hands, and shouted that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage and marry her eldest sister!

Even if Xia Zhende really didn't hear it, someone would go to report it.

Seeing that the two of them sang a double reed in harmony, Li Fu squinted, raised his hand to stop Yan Zongzhi, and said with a chuckle: "Uncle Huang, Princess Qingyun has just come, and the two of us have been chatting happily for a while." Then her personal maid somehow suddenly fell ill, and Princess Qingyun sent her back. ”

Li Fu ran the train with his mouth full of and made up nonsense.

Didn't you pretend not to know? Then I'll make it up!

"I see." Xia Zhende's expression was abrupt, and then he frowned and said a little unhappily: "Yun'er, this child is really a maidservant, why don't you just let the subordinates send it back?" Why is she gone by herself! ”

"Princess Qingyun is simple and kind by nature, innocent, Your Majesty should not blame her." Li Fu comforted him.

Glancing at Li Fu deeply, Xia Zhende smiled and said, "Nephew, you don't mind, hehe." In more than two months, it will be your coming-of-age ceremony, right? I see that you have a good impression of Yun'er, so it's better to get married after the coming-of-age ceremony! It's also a big event in the hearts of me and Uncle Wang! ”

Get married?

On the way to the palace, Li Fu also pondered the reason why Xia Zhende was looking for him for a banquet.

Guessing that it might just be to see him, afraid that he would run away?

I also thought about whether it would be because of the conflict between him and Xia Wenyuan in the Flower Water Building, and he wanted to beat or appease him?

I didn't think about it, it was to force relatives.

No wonder Xia Qingyun knew that he entered the palace and suddenly came over, it turned out that Xia Zhende deliberately arranged it!

"This..."Li Fu hesitated: "Uncle Huang, my father can't find anyone all day long, and my grandfather is guarding the iron trench and has no time to come back, and there are no elders at home, so it's inconvenient to do this big thing, right?" ”

"I am the uncle of the emperor, the father of Yun'er, and the king of a country in Dayan. Isn't it enough to have me in charge for you? Xia Zhende directly blocked Li Fu's mouth with words.

Li Fu was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and after being silent for a moment, he said again: "It is naturally enough for the imperial uncle to take care of the little nephew, and the little nephew is grateful." What the little nephew means is that weddings and funerals are major life events after all, and my grandfather and father must have wanted to witness it for me at the scene. So, let's wait for grandpa and father to come back! ”

"Brother Wang wanders outside every day, and he is not at home. Uncle Wang guards the iron trench pass, and he is busy with affairs, so he doesn't know when he will be able to return to Beijing. If they don't get together, won't you get married? Xia Zhende shook his head, as if he was thinking about the Li family, and persuaded him: "Come to think of it, Brother Wang and Uncle Wang don't want to delay your life events because of them, right?" ”

"Uncle Huang, I'm still young, and Princess Qingyun is not very old, why should I be in such a hurry? Might as well wait a little longer. Li Fu frowned slightly and asked puzzled.

Xia Zhende sighed, and said with a seeming heart: "Your Li family is withering, Uncle Wang is fine, he gave birth to your father and your second uncle, but when it comes to your generation, you are the only one left." Don't blame Uncle Huang for speaking ugly, you are now the only seedling of the Li family, if something happens, what can your grandfather do? Isn't the Li family going to be cut off! Ay! Speaking of which, this is also a piece of Uncle Huang's heart, he doesn't dare to let you go out of the city easily, just worried about your safety! There are many people who hate Uncle Wang on the rivers and lakes, and there are many people who want to put you to death and make Uncle Wang dead. You should at least think about the Li family and Uncle Wang, right? Why don't you save it for a while! ”

Xia Zhende's words sounded sincere, which made Li Fu even feel like he had returned to his previous life, when he was urged to marry and persuaded by seven aunts and eight aunts at a family gathering during the New Year.

The key is that the reason given by Xia Zhende this time is really fine, and even Li Fu himself feels a little reasonable.

But it is absolutely impossible for Li Fu to marry Xia Zhende's daughter... Seeing that he couldn't push it off if he refused directly, Li Fu had no choice but to use his crooked brain.

"Uncle Huang," Li Fu put on a frank expression and said with an embarrassed smile: "To be honest, although the little nephew likes Princess Qingyun very much, there is no love for the elder brother for his younger sister. All along, the little nephew just regarded her as a sister. ”

Hearing this, Xia Zhende was not surprised, but laughed out loud, and said indifferently: "What do you love or not, marriage pays attention to the life of a parent and the words of a matchmaker, and you can wait until you get married to cultivate your feelings!" If you live together for a long time, you will naturally fall in love for a long time! ”

"But..."Li Fu lowered his head, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and said in a hesitant voice: "But in the little nephew's heart, there is already someone he likes, and it is the kind of love that he likes!" ”

Xia Zhende still didn't care, waved his hand, and said very generously: "Then marry her as a concubine, isn't it?" As I said just now, your Li family is scarce, and it is impossible for me to let you marry only one Yun'er without being kind! I have only one request, and that is that you must be good to Yun'er! It doesn't matter how many women I marry, but the position of the princess must be Yun'er! ”

If another person comes, seeing that his father-in-law is so generous, he will definitely be so happy that he can't hold it anymore, and he will bow his head.

But Li Fu was not, he still had an unspeakable expression, and hesitated: "No, Uncle Huang, this woman that my little nephew likes will definitely not marry me with Princess Qingyun." ”

Seeing this, Xia Zhende suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, the smile on his face gradually converged, and he stared at Li Fu and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Princess Qingyu." Li Fudao.

Princess Qingyu is Xia Zhende's eldest daughter, and she is the eldest princess Xia Qingyu.

"Bang!"

As soon as Li Fu's words fell, Xia Zhende took the case, his originally sallow and sickly face turned red, stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Fu tremblingly, and scolded: "Li Fu! You've gone too far! Yu Gong, I am the king of a country, and my daughters are all golden branches and jade leaves! I am also a father, and my daughters are my pearls! How dare you, how dare you say that you want to marry two daughters in front of a king and a father? You are not only despising Qingyu and Qingyun, but also despising me and the royal family! ”

Seeing Xia Zhende angry, the people in the entire Yangyuan Hall were terrified, including Yan Zongzhi, all of them hurriedly knelt on the ground, throwing their bodies to the ground, trembling and not daring to raise their heads.

A trace of nervousness flashed on Li Fu's face, and he defended aggrievedly: "Uncle Huang, I didn't say that I wanted to marry two princesses." The little nephew means that if the imperial uncle must give me a marriage, then I will choose Princess Qingyu, not Princess Qingyun! ”

"Choose Qingyu or not Qingyun?"

After listening to Li Fu's explanation, Xia Zhende's anger not only did not subside, but became more and more high.

I saw that he swept all the delicacies and delicacies on the table in front of him to the ground, staring at Li Fu with red eyes, like a beast that wanted to choose people to devour, and roared angrily: "It's too much to deceive people!" It's so deceitful! Are you my daughter a cabbage in the vegetable market? Which do you want to choose? ”
