Chapter 143: Serve the Imperial Court Again and Protect the Town
Nalan Rongruo went all the way to the capital without stopping, and went straight to the emperor's imperial study. As soon as www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion entered the imperial study, he saw Xuan Ye sitting alone on a rosewood chair with his eyes quietly closed. Without even raising his head, he guessed that it was Rong Ruo, and Rong Ruo knelt down to meet the emperor. Xuan Ye only waved his hand to the people around him and said, "Let's all step down!" Rong Ruo didn't dare to raise his head, because after all, he was his own business, and he delayed the day of returning to Beijing. Xuan Ye didn't say anything, still closing his eyes as if he was recuperating. Rong Ruo was in a dilemma, so he had to speak again: "Your Majesty, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, has reached a consensus with the emperor and decided to return to his hometown Liaodong to recuperate. Xuan Ye slowly straightened up and said to Rong Ruo, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Get up quickly, don't kneel." After speaking, he picked up the hot tea at hand, blew the hot air, and took two sips: "Your cousin has not been in good health recently, take a look at her when you enter the palace." Oh, by the way, she's pregnant with a little brother now. Rong Ruo was terrified: "Congratulations to the emperor." Xuan Ye pointed to the green leaves that had fallen outside the door and said, "Even if the autumn harvest has not arrived, as long as I want it to lose its leaves, none of these vegetation will want to live." Rong Ruo carefully pondered the holy will, and did not dare to speak in vain, so he stepped aside. Xuan Ye seemed to think of something and suddenly turned around and asked Rong Ruo: "Do you say that I should ask for Shang Zhixin's life?" Rong Ruo knelt down and said: "The emperor must know that the skin does not exist, and Mao will be attached to it, isn't that forcing Shang Kexi to rebel?" Xuan Ye put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps to the door and asked: "The hateful Wu Sangui has already raised troops, I'm afraid that if these three join forces, my 200,000 iron cavalry will be difficult to resist." Rong Ruo frowned and replied: "Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, is naturally a big tree, but Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan, may not dare to raise troops for a while, and the minister is willing to bring 10,000 elite soldiers to destroy Wu Sangui." Xuan Ye suddenly looked at Rong Ruo, who was still kneeling on the ground, and helped him up.
Xuan Ye smiled and said to Rong Ruo: "You are very pleased to do something that is still gratifying for King Pingnan for me this time, and it can be regarded as a meritorious achievement." I decided to give you some rewards, your big wedding hasn't been done yet, so it's better to do it on a later date!" Rong Ruogang stood firm, and hurriedly took two steps back in fright: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness, but this country has not yet been unified, how can a man start a family?" Xuan Ye patted Rong Ruo's shoulder and said: "I have long heard Mingzhu say that you value love and righteousness, and today's words, I didn't think I was right at the beginning." That's it, I will give you the main marriage, I heard Mingzhu say that the Lu family also came to the capital, you should go back and have a look first. After the wedding, I went west for me to tie up Wu Sangui and came back. Rong Ruo didn't dare to be disobedient, so he had to follow the emperor's wishes: "Yes, the emperor, the minister will retire first." ”
Rong Ruo walked alone on the lively streets, looking at the bustling crowd, thinking about the scene with Shen Wan on the streets of a southern town in the past, that Shen Wan's appearance could not be said to be in my heart all the time, and that was what made Rong Ruo the most worried, but the emperor had never told Shen Wan about the marriage, and if Shen Wan suddenly knew, I was afraid that it would make her unhappy. After all, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and when Rong Ruo was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard the housekeeper shouting in the distance: "Young master, you are back, go back to the house quickly! The lord and the lady are always looking forward to your return." Rong Ruo turned around again and saw the subordinates behind the housekeeper, all holding the utensils used in the wedding in their hands. Rong Ruo asked, "Who are you?" The housekeeper squinted his eyes with a smile and said, "Childe, Lord Lu's daughter has already lived in the mansion, and the master ordered us to come out to procure these, and we will get married when the son comes back." Rong Ruo angrily slapped all the things he had just bought on the ground at once: "You all go back for me!" After speaking, he walked towards the mansion angrily.
As soon as he returned to the front hall of the mansion, he saw Mingzhu happily hanging a red curtain, and Rong Ruo ripped it off: "What are you doing here!" Mingzhu shouted: "Rebel, what are you doing here! The emperor gave me a marriage, which is a great honor for my Ming Mansion." Rong Ruo was so angry that he said: "I never thought about marriage!" Mingzhu angrily: "You rebel son! The words of the matchmaker of your parents' orders can't tolerate you, who let you be born in my Nalan Mingzhu's house!" Rong Ruo waved his hand and knocked over the tea cup on the table, and when he heard the noise outside, Rong Ruo's mother also rushed from the back room and hurriedly persuaded the two of them. Rong Ruo didn't listen to anything at all, and only dropped a sentence: "The child already has a heart, and he will not marry the Lu family." Nalan Mingzhu was about to hit Rong Ruo, but was stopped by his mother: "What are you doing!" Rong Ruo walked towards the mansion angrily.
When he arrived in the study, Rong Ruo always felt that something was wrong after thinking about it. The only way to do this now is to persuade the Lu clan to return home. As soon as I sat down to prepare a handwritten letter, I heard a burst of piano music from the courtyard pavilion, the sound of the piano was low and tactful, and there was the color of smoke and rain from the small bridge in the south of the Yangtze River. Rong Ruo couldn't help but push open the window and look at the place where the music came from. I saw a woman standing in the pavilion, and her fingers slid over the strings of the guqin, like a shock. Unconsciously I was stunned when I heard it, but let the woman see it, and saluted: "It was the sound of my piano that disturbed the child." Rong Ruo hurriedly got up and invited her to the study. The woman's posture was graceful, walking like a falling flower, she gently picked up the rice paper on the table, and the ink had not yet dried, and carefully read the question: "If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad painting fan? Lishan said that it was half a night away, and the tears and rain and zero bells did not complain. How is Bo Xing Jinyilang, who wishes on the same day. Rong Ruo lowered her head shyly, and she smiled timidly to cover her face: "The word Childe is to relieve the pain of lovesickness." I have long heard that Gongzi is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. Just as the two were smiling at each other, Mingzhu pushed the door in: "Since you have seen the cicada, treat others well in the future." Rong Ruo was stunned and silent, and the Lu family thanked Lord Yue.
When it was time for the dinner, Rong Ruo was still lying in his room, and seeing that he hadn't been to the front hall for a long time, Lu Shi put some vegetables in his bowl and ordered someone to bring a lunch box to visit him. As soon as he entered Rong Ruo's room, Rong Ruo quickly jumped up from the bed, and Lu Shi walked in front of him: "Childe, are you unwell?" Rong Ruo rubbed his forehead: "It may be that I am a little tired from rushing back to the capital these days." Saying that, Lu Shi was going to help him press. Rong Ruo hurriedly prevaricated: "Miss can't!" Lu Shi whispered: "In a few days, you and I will be husband and wife, and this is what a concubine should do." Rong Ruo pushed away her hand and said: "My heart already belongs, why does Miss need this?" Rong Ruoshi is difficult to concentrate on the two of them, and said with a serious face: "My marriage with Miss is a gift from the emperor, and I Rong Ruo will go west to exterminate the chaotic party in the future, and now I have no intention of marrying a major event." Lu had no choice but to put down the food box and slowly push the door away.
