Chapter 370: Marriage Request
"You are so repulsive to this king, should you, the second lady already has a heart, right?"
Yuan Yue ignored him, only folded the clothes in his hand a few times, hugged him tightly in his arms, and entered the inner hall without looking back.
"Alas, Second Miss, don't go?!...... you" Rong Run sighed and became angry again.
Rong Run hung in the empty Xiyin Hall for a while, and then Xiang'er came out of the inner hall and held a cup of eight-point hot tea in her hand: "Sixth Master, please use tea." ”
Rong Run stared at a long curtain hanging at the door of the inner hall: "Has your master set any marriage for the second lady?"
Xiang'er paused for a moment: "No, there is no marriage?"
"That is, the second young lady has a heart?" Rong Runyou asked.
"No, there's no such thing?" Xiang'er looked at Rong Run and smiled, this prince is really interesting, ask some strange questions.
"That ......"
"The prince drinks tea?" Xiang'er turned her face and looked at Rong Run with a smile.
"Not thirsty. Rong Run turned around and walked out of Xiyin Hall.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!?" Xiang'er chased out of the palace gate and saw Rong Runjing whipping away from a high-headed black horse. Xiang'er was also a little puzzled, leaning on the door frame, and was alone.
"What do you want?" said Yuan Yue patted her lightly from behind.
Xiang'er turned her head: "I didn't think about anything." ”
"He's gone?"
"It's not!" Xiang'er flattened her mouth and looked at Yuan Yue in some surprise: "Miss, it's really strange to say that these six princes are a dignified prince, why do you always run to our pawnshop." He has to be hit by Miss's hard words when he goes back, and he doesn't have a long memory when he goes back. Don't everyone say that the sixth master is an evil king with a strange temper? Why can't the slave and maid see it at all?"
"Then what do you think he looks like?" Yuan Yue raised her head and looked at Xiang'er warmly.
"Well......" Xiang'er pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "The slave maid thinks that the sixth master is not evil at all, but like a stupid boy next door, you look at him like that, clumsy and clumsy, every time he speaks, he makes Miss angry, and then he has to make amends to Miss in a low voice, if he is not stupid, why does he talk like this?"
"He's not stupid. Yuan Yue said lightly, lowered her head and began to fiddle with the abacus, the abacus crackled for a while, and Yuan Yue only felt that her fingers were sore. When Yuan Xi was in Xi Yin Hall, she had seen Yuan Xi settle accounts, those hands were dexterous and lively, and the abacus was as good as life in her hands. She only needs two hours to complete this stack of account books, and she is guaranteed that there will be no mistakes.
In the past, she thought that practice makes perfect, but now she has been doing it for half a year, only to find that it is not as easy as she imagined. Sometimes, she hopes that Yuan Xi is either the orphan of the Shangguan family or the daughter of the Wei family, so that these burdens will not fall on her head, and she doesn't have to bother to study those difficult business experiences.
These things are handy for her, and when she does them herself, she always feels powerless.
Yuan Yue shook her sour wrist, and found that Xiang'er was still staring at herself, so she smiled and said, "What are you looking at? Are you stupid?"
Xiang'er patted her head and said with a smile: "Miss, I'm stupid." You said that the sixth master is a prince who is a descendant, why does he need to come to our small place? It means that there must be something here that attracts him. He was like that for Miss again," Yan'er leaned her head closer and said with a smile: "Miss, could it be that Miss is attracting the Sixth Master, right?
"Don't talk nonsense. Yuan Yue turned her face away and scolded softly.
Xiang'er pouted and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, if the sixth master doesn't like Miss, why is he so good to Miss? Is it because Miss is his sister-in-law?"
"Well, yes. Yuan Yue pursed her lips: "What other reasons do you think there are?"
"No way. Xiang'er sat on the seat opposite Yuanyue and leaned his face closer: "In my opinion, the sixth master just likes Miss." ”
"You're talking nonsense again, I'm a dignified Prince Bao, I'm a businessman, just a pariah, what am I? How can the prince look down on me?" Yuan Yue lowered her head and made a brush on the account book.
"The sixth prince has never regarded Miss as a commoner, Miss didn't hear the rumors from people outside, saying that the Zhao family had lost power, and even the Concubine Zhao in the palace was implicated. Now, there is only one woman next to the emperor, the third lady of our family, and she is the former crown princess, and she will be crowned queen in the future. Miss is a good sister to the queen, and naturally she is not an ordinary person. ”
Xiang'er pursed her lips and covered the pen in Yuan Yue's hand: "Then the emperor can marry the younger sister of the young lady, the younger brother of the emperor, and he can't marry the sister of the queen's mother?"
"Still talking nonsense. Yuan Yue frowned and glanced at her: "Although I call Yuan Xi the third sister, she is not from our family after all! Yuan Xi is the blood of the Shangguan Mansion and the royal family surnamed Chu, how noble? She is just fostered in our family, and she has no blood relationship with our Wei family." ”
"Miss, don't you want to think about it, if you can marry a prince, it's better than fiddling with account books and abacus in this little pawnshop every day, right?"
What's wrong with account books, it's better than having your past scandals discovered by your husband, right? It's better to be an old girl for a lifetime than to become a bad woman who cheats on her husband and is seen through by her husband, right?
Yuan Yue sighed, lowered her head again, and silently counted the accounts.
Rong Run rode straight to the nine-fold palace forbidden, and the guards at the gate of the palace saw a fast horse galloping with angry eyes, and drew their swords to greet each other. When they got closer, they saw that the person on horseback was the sixth prince. They threw their knives on the ground and knelt down: "The last general will see the sixth master." ”
Rong Run jumped off the horse, threw the reins in his hand, and was picked up by one of the internal guards with his bare hands.
Rong Run lifted his cloak, revealing a bright gold medal on his waist, and stepped into the palace gate.
Rong Zhan was sitting in front of the table in the dormitory, staring at the stacked folds. If it weren't for Qin Shun saying something, he would have barely noticed Rong Run walking in.
"Sixth brother, why are you in such a hurry, look at your sweat. Rong Zhan put aside the music in his hand and got up to greet him: "Sixth brother, sit down, Qin Shun serves tea." ”
Rong Run was in a hurry to speak, although his mouth was already dry, he didn't want to drink any tea.
He took a step forward and got down on one knee. Rong Zhan was stunned for a moment: "Sixth brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Second brother, the younger brother has something to plead with the imperial brother, if the imperial brother does not agree, the younger brother will always kneel here and not get up. ”
Rong Zhan's eyebrows flickered: "What's the matter?"
"The younger brother is here because he has taken a fancy to a girl and wants to ask the royal brother to marry her to me as a princess. ”
Rong Zhan turned his head to glance at Qin Shun, and helped Rong Run up with a gentle smile: "What is the big deal about me." This is a good thing, you should have started a family a long time ago, there were many things earlier, if it is decided today, you should also marry a princess and enter the door. I just don't know, which lady do you have a crush on?"
"The royal brother has also seen it, it is the second lady of the Wei family. ”
The smile gradually brushed away from Rong Zhan's face: "Second Miss Wei Yuanyue?"
"It's her," Rong Run pursed his lips, pulled Rong Zhan's sleeve tightly, and said, "Please ask the imperial brother to marry." ”
"Marry a merchant's daughter as a concubine? I'm afraid this doesn't conform to etiquette, right?" Rong Zhan slowly paced in the dormitory for a while, then turned to look at Rong Run: "Actually, you can go to a princess to be your concubine first, and then marry Wei Yuanyue as a side concubine and enter the palace of Prince Bao." ”
"No, my brother doesn't want a young lady from any family in this life, as long as Wei Yuanyue is alone. ”
Rong Zhan silently stared at Rong Run's eyes, and said suspiciously for a while: "I remember, you still liked the third lady of the Wei Mansion in the past?"
"That's ......" Rong Run's face sneered: "What is the imperial brother's words? The third young lady is the future queen, does the imperial brother suspect that the younger brother has anything wrong with the imperial sister-in-law?"
"Not really. Rong Zhan lowered his eyelids slightly: "I'm just worried, the sixth brother likes her just on a whim." If she really marries her into the door, the sixth brother doesn't like her again, won't it hurt the second lady?"
"No, it's not a whim. In fact...... When the younger brother saw the imperial sister-in-law, it was just a novelty. Later, when I saw the second lady, the younger brother was immediately attracted by the eyes of the second young lady. Over the years, although the younger brother has not often seen the second miss, he has always missed the second miss in his heart. Your Majesty, it's not a day or two that the younger brother likes the second lady, if the imperial brother doesn't believe it, you can ask the imperial sister-in-law. ”
Rong Zhan nodded and put his hand on his waist: "That's good." However, these two young ladies are different from your imperial sister-in-law, she is a real merchant's daughter, and the sixth brother has never considered it, how can she gain a foothold among the kings in the future?"
The muscles on Rong Run's face twitched, and he said, "Only a man who has no interest will rely on a woman's worth to raise himself." If Rong Run has no ability, even if he marries a princess from a neighboring country, it is useless. But if the younger brother has the ability, he can let his women follow suit. The emperor said, is that so?"
Rong Zhan looked at Rong Run with a smile, and now even this youngest brother has become an adult, and it really makes sense to talk one by one.
"You're right. Rong Zhan nodded: "I just don't know what the second lady thinks? If people don't want to marry you, the royal brother can't forcibly give you a marriage, right? After all, she is also the queen's sister, and the two of them have been good since they were young, so I have to give the queen some face." ”
If Yuan Yue is willing to marry him, why does he have to go through such a big setback? But if he tells the emperor that Yuan Yue is unwilling, the emperor will definitely not give him a marriage. He couldn't watch Yuan Yue marry someone else step by step.
"She's willing," Rong Run replied without thinking, "it's just that she's embarrassed to tell others." Yuan Yue is thin-skinned, and her situation is not smooth, so she is like a little hedgehog, and whenever she encounters a little trouble, she shrinks herself into a ball to protect herself. If the royal brother asked her with great fanfare, she wouldn't dare to admit it. ”
