Chapter 224 is the relatives of the Rongguo Mansion asking the Xie family
An hour later, Qingluo sent the letter to the Rongguo Mansion, and the Duchess Rongguo had rested, so she was led by someone and went to the Spring Garden.
Rong Ci was wearing a white robe, reading a book in the room, and he didn't look in a hurry at all.
Qingluo clasped his fists and saluted, and then sent the letter: "Childe, thank you for the letter." ”
Rong Ci was still thinking about it raining so late, what was Qingluo doing here, was there something going on over there Xie Yixiao, or because of the rumors outside, so he frowned slightly.
"What did Miss Xie say?"
Qingluo said: "Miss Xie didn't say anything, she just asked her subordinates to send the letter over, regardless of whether it was for the prince or the duchess." ”
Rong Ci nodded, then reached out and took the letter out of the envelope, shaking it open and looking at it.
Her handwriting is delicate and elegant, although it is not a good calligraphy, but it is also very durable and comfortable, and two things are written on it:
Please ask Your Majesty to come to trial.
Ask the monks of Yunzhong Temple to testify.
Rong Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, and he actually felt a little happy in his heart, Rong Guogong's mansion is high and powerful, and he is not designed to commit serious crimes such as murder, treason, and corruption, who dares to judge them.
And now this matter is a trial, and the Yue family has also admitted it, and some people outside may say that the Rongguo Mansion oppresses people with power, forcing the Yue family to swallow this breath.
If it is judged by His Majesty, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty observe, no one dares to say anything after that, and it can be regarded as an eternal trouble.
Then the monks of Yunzhong Temple testified that the monks did not lie, and they could naturally prove for him that he had never met any Moon Girl, let alone had any personal affairs with her.
Rong Ci folded the paper, put it back in the envelope, and then said to Qingluo: "Tell her that I know, go back, protect her." ”
"Subordinates receive orders." Qingluo walked out of the gate of Rongguo's mansion and disappeared into the night again.
When she returned to Xie's house, the rain had not stopped, but it was not early, Xie Yixiao had already changed her bedclothes and rested, and when she heard her say that the letter had been given to the ninth prince, she asked, "What did the ninth prince say?" ”
"The ninth prince said that he knew, please don't worry about it."
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "I know, you have worked hard, I asked people to prepare hot water and ginger soup for you to ward off the cold, go back and drink a bowl of ginger soup, and then take a bath and rest." ”
Qingluo moved her lips, and stopped talking, she said in her heart, I am not so weak, I have to drink ginger soup and take a hot bath when I go out in the rain.
But she thought about it and didn't say anything, come on, just soak it.
Rong Ci was going to Beidaying as usual on the second day, his face was the same as always, as if the rumors outside were not enough to make him care about half a point, and the strange eyes of others were not enough to make him look sideways.
There are even good deeds who are really curious, relying on the 'brotherhood' who has fought a few games, and can't help but come up and ask, and push a thick-skinned person to ask, it is a young general named Song Ji.
Song Ji saw that there was only one person in the tent, so he secretly entered the tent and leaned over: "What is said outside is true or false?" ”
"What's really fake?" Rong Ci didn't raise his head.
Song Ji said: "I'm asking about the girl of the young Fu family in that month, whether you and her are real or fake, speaking of which, the girl of the Yue family looks beautiful and beautiful, has excellent knowledge, is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also known as the first talented girl in the imperial city......"
"Moon Girl?" Rong Ci finally raised his head, frowning slightly, "I don't know." ”
Song Ji: "??? ”
"Don't know? Really? ”
Rong Ci explained in a rare way: "How do I know her? Previously, I was practicing in the temple, and I kept the rules and precepts of the temple, how could I be happy with a woman? If I break the vows, how can the temple tolerate me? ”
The temple does have such a rule, you can go to the temple to cultivate and live for a while, but you need to abide by the rules of others, and you must keep the precepts, if you break the precepts, you will be driven down the mountain.
Especially Rong Ci, who has been in the temple for a long time, although he has never shaved his degree, he must also abide by the rules of others.
In the temple with the woman to sing me and me?
Isn't that death?
Song Ji felt that there was some truth, and he was about to say something, but he heard Rong Rong say again: "Earlier, I heard that I was in love with Miss Yue, and it was His Majesty who gave the marriage to the Mandarin Duck Spectrum, so I thought it was really ridiculous. ”
"My relationship with Miss Xie is actually my mother who took a fancy to Miss Xie and asked me and Miss Xie what they meant, and when both families agreed, they entered the palace to ask for the holy decree of marriage."
Song Ji felt that his mouth was dry, as if he had learned something amazing, and he asked, "Is it the holy decree invited by the Rongguo Mansion?" ”
Rong Ci glanced at him: "It's the relatives of the Rong Guo Mansion who asked the Xie family." ”
Song Ji was still a little stunned when he left, and when he got out of the gate of the tent, several people came up and dragged him aside.
"How's it going?"
"What did the Ninth Prince say?"
"Then the rumors outside must not be true, how could the Ninth Prince do such a thing?"
Song Ji had to tell everyone about the news he had just gotten, and the people present were also a little surprised.
"You mean, the decree of marriage was asked for by the Duke of Rongguo? And he also talked to the Xie family, and wanted to marry someone else's girl? ”
"Then how can it be rumored outside that it is because of the holy decree that the ninth prince has to be separated from the girl of the Yue family?"
"Could it be that the Rongguo Mansion doesn't look down on the girl of the Yue family?"
"It's impossible, the reputation of the girl of the Yue family before is much louder than that of the girl of the Xie family, that is the first talented girl in our imperial city! Miss Yue is no worse than Miss Xie, there is no reason why the Duke of Rongguo doesn't want the daughter of the Yue family, and instead asks to marry the daughter of the Xie family? ”
It's not, especially if the previous couple still has feelings, it is even more impossible to abandon the former and marry the latter.
Someone couldn't help but think, "Could it be that the girl is lying?" ”
"But why did the Moon Maiden lie?"
"Maybe it's to marry the Ninth Prince?"
Everyone discussed the truth of this matter, but whether it was true or not, there was no evidence to anyone.
What Rong Ci said also makes sense, he used to cultivate in the temple, how could he be happy with a woman, but if the Yue family is talking nonsense, the Yue family self-destructs innocence, and it seems that it is not very reasonable.
No one knew that the Yue family was making trouble, in fact, they wanted to ruin Xie Yixiao, and then let the Rongguo Mansion admit this matter according to this rumor, and then smoothly withdraw from the family and let Yue Qingshuang marry.
However, the Yue family didn't expect that King Huainan would beat him up because of Rong Ci, so he intervened and turned the direction of these rumors to topics such as Rong Jiugongzi's lack of virtue.
So the Yue family's plan was messed up, and there was no way to continue at all, and they were afraid of being found out, and they would be unlucky when the time came.
These words of Rong Ci soon spread to the Imperial City.
When Yue Qingshuang heard this, the handkerchief on her hand fell off.
"What do you say? What is the holy decree of marriage requested by the Rongguo Mansion? ”
