Chapter Twenty-Eight: Your Majesty Gives the Princess a Kiss
When I saw it last night, I was very embarrassed.
Cao Jiayun climbed over the wall on the grounds of late night, leaving Xiao Tiantu and the three of them messy in the courtyard.
On the second day, Xiao Shifeng held a banquet on the Chengtian Platform of the Imperial City to entertain the mother and son of the Li family, and Xiao Tiantu, Cao Mengbo, Cao Jiayun and Li Kaiji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, were also present.
On the rooftop, the mother and son of the Li family and Li Kaiji sit on the left side, Xiao Tiantu and Uncle Cao Meng sit on the right side, and the main seat is Xiao Shifeng.
After everyone sat down, the inner supervisor shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived." Everyone present hurriedly got up and was about to kneel, but Xiao Shifeng said from afar: "It's okay to salute, you don't need to kneel." ”
When he arrived at Fan Lingshan, Xiao Shifeng looked at Fan Lingshan and Li Baohu with a smile, Fan Lingshan was also a little panicked when he saw Long Yan for the first time. Xiao Shifeng said with a smile: "Mrs. Li, you are tired on the road, can you have a good rest last night?"
Fan Lingshan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The general takes good care of him and rests well. "In fact, I still have back pain to this day.
Xiao Shifeng looked behind him again and asked, "This handsome young man is the nephew of the Tiger Capturer?"
"Exactly. Fan Lingshan turned around and pulled Li Baohu forward.
Xiao Shifeng bowed his head slightly, and praised: "Young and good, young and good, like such a good man, he is the pillar of my new dynasty!"
After Xiao Shifeng took his seat, everyone also sat down.
After a glass of wine, Xiao Shifeng introduced the people present to the Li family's mother and son, and when it came to Li Kaiji, Xiao Shifeng did not forget to joke that he and the Li family's mother and son were their own family.
Xiao Shifeng suddenly thought of Li Xianda, and said with emotion: "Xianlutai was assassinated that day, if I retreated a little more, Xianda would not have to act in a hurry, and he would not die young!"
Xiao Tiantu also said: "Back then, Xianda and Brother Meng worked together to train this Baolong Sanwei, and Xianda told me many times that if there was really a day when the imperial city fell, he and his golden armor guards would be the vanguard to kill the thieves." I asked him, aren't you afraid of death? He said that after he died, he could go to the Martial God Pavilion to be ranked with those famous generals, and his fame would be regarded as immortality, so what was he afraid of. In the past twenty years, he has only begged His Majesty to leave one for him in the Martial God Pavilion. After Xiao Tiantu finished speaking, even Cao Mengbo couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Shifeng said: "Although the Li family has been in the rivers and lakes for generations, the family style is loyal and brave, and the righteousness is commendable. I specially summoned my wife and good son to come this time, in order to reward the Li family and tell the world that all loyal and brave people can glorify their ancestors!"
Fan Lingshan said: "Your Majesty has already been rewarded a while ago, and the husband has inherited the title of Marquis of Xiaoyao, and he feels the holy will, and often recites His Majesty's grace by the minister's side, and I don't know how to repay it." ”
Xiao Shifeng said with a smile: "I don't want to repay, I hope that the Li family can be loyal to the monarch and protect the lord for generations, so that's fine." ”
Fan Lingshan said: "As a subject, it is natural to be loyal to the monarch and protect the lord. ”
Xiao Shifeng continued: "I also have another award this time. After Xiao Shifeng finished speaking, an inner eunuch brought a volume of holy decrees, and everyone was just about to get up, Xiao Shifeng said with a smile: "I am here, isn't it a big success for this holy decree, I don't want you to kneel and worship, I will recite this holy decree, and I should declare it." ”
"Yes. ”
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, specially appointed Mrs. Fan Lingshan of Xiaoyao Marquis as the first lady of the imperial court, and the son Li Baohu is the concubine of Princess Zaiyu, Qin this!"
In just one sentence, Fan Lingshan's heart and eyes were about to rise to her throat.
Obviously, I said that I would go to Beijing to take a look, but today it became a direct marriage, and I didn't tell you yesterday.
"Your Majesty, this ......" Fan Lingshan was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.
Xiao Shifeng looked amiable: "What, you don't look down on me as a jade princess?"
Cao Mengbo's face was also extremely ugly at this time, and Cao Jiayun interjected: "If you don't look down on it, you can't look down on it, Your Majesty, you don't have to use your power to impose a colt on me, just let them decide for themselves." ”
Cao Mengbo looked sad: "You kid, how can you speak here." ”
Xiao Tiantu asked: "So, if this Li family's mother and son can look down on you, then they will get married?"
Cao Jiayun turned her head to the sky and didn't speak.
Xiao Shifeng said with a smile: "Okay, according to what Princess Zaiyu said, if your mother and son don't look down on it, then there will be no marriage, if your mother and son can look down on it, then they will all be happy, how about it?"
After a period of silence, Fan Lingshan suddenly raised her head and said: "Actually, Princess Zaiyu is very good, she is strong, heroic, and her martial arts are also good, and her personality is comparable to mine." What do you think?"
"This ......" the corners of Li Baohu's mouth moved slightly, and he said after a long time: "Listen to my mother." ”
Xiao Shifeng was happy, in fact, yesterday was a bureau jointly set up by Xiao Shifeng and Xiao Tiantu. They knew Cao Jiayun too well and knew that she would come to peek at Li Baohu. This Fan Lingshan was not satisfied with Li Baohu's several visits, thinking that she must have a special woman, thinking about it, Cao Jiayun and Fan Lingshan have similar personalities, but there is a bit of a chance, so she set up such a bureau for Cao Jiayun to drill in, and also let Fan Lingshan meet this future daughter-in-law, thinking that Fan Lingshan is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law with strong martial arts, she just wants to find her own type for Li Baohu.
Cao Mengbo and Xiao Tiantu both breathed a deep sigh of relief, but at this time, Cao Jiayun was suspicious: "You...... Don't you think I'm old?"
Cao Mengbo was just about to stop it, but Cao Jiayun's words had already been asked, and then the attention of the people present turned to Fan Lingshan.
Fan Lingshan said sincerely: "You are a little older, but in my opinion, you are also a child. It's okay to be older, just have a few more children when you're strong. ”
"This ......" Cao Jiayun blushed when Fan Lingshan said this, and didn't dare to raise her head to speak again, but Xiao Tiantu also laughed: "It's just that you, Zhong Kui, the Taishan woman, dare to speak like this in front of Your Majesty." ”
Xiao Shifeng was also in a good mood: "Then this marriage is decided." Li Kaiji, you will preside over this marriage, you choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and prepare all the princess-sized dowries. The words of greeting were escorted by the general and Cao Aiqing, and they were sent directly to Taishan Li's house. ”
Li Kaiji stood up, bowed down and said, "Yes." ”。
Xiao Shifeng said again: "Cao Aiqing, after arriving at Taishan Mansion, rest for two days, and then go directly to Huizhou Mansion to take office." ”
Cao Mengbo solved his daughter's lifelong event, his face was much better, he stood up, and he had to kneel down and thank him: "Minister, thank you Lord Longen!"
