Fast time travel: The heroine and the female supporting role hold the script of the villain

Chapter 106 The real daughter, she quit (52)

"Oh?" The emperor really got a little excited at this time, sat up a little bit upright, and his eyes lit up.

He raised his eyelids again and looked down to the right side, and said to a middle-aged man who was very close to him at this time: "Then, don't you want to congratulate Lu Guogong first? A few days ago you But still complaining in front of me that Boss Cheng En is not young but there is no one by his side, and today this fellow came to ask for orders from me!"

The man called Lu Guogong looked about fifty years old, with a goatee, and his face gave people an illusion of elegance, but he could still see his strong body through the expensive fabric on his body. body shape.

Anyway, when he was young, he also had a life-long friendship with the emperor on horseback. Compared with the civil servant next to him, his tiger eyes were completely naked.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Guogong didn't have much joy on his face, but stood up and cupped his hands toward the top: "My lord, just treat this kid as nonsense, it can't be true."

After saying that, the man looked at Lu Chengen and frowned: "Nizi, you dare to talk nonsense in front of the Holy One, why don't you kneel down and apologize!"

The rest of the people in the hall subconsciously held their breath, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Lu Guogong was obviously not very satisfied with this marriage.Although Lu Chengen is not the future Lord of the Xiaoguo, but where is the family background of the Duke's Mansion anyway, and he himself is a young and promising general, what kind of family background is he not worthy of?
A third-rank university scholar may be enough for outsiders to hear, but in Beijing, a single brick can hit the boundaries of a dozen Beijing officials. It is really not too big to have an in-law of such a family in the Duke's Mansion. Glory.

However, it's no secret that the father and son of the Lu family have always been at odds, so even the emperor looks like he's watching the scene, and from time to time he will exchange glances with the queen beside him.

"Master Guo is getting more and more confused as he gets older. Who knows that His Majesty has always disliked people who are full of lies. As a subject, how dare I talk nonsense?" Lu Chengen simply turned around and knelt down, facing the direction of the dragon chair He continued neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, before this expedition, didn't you urge me to quickly find a mistress for the general's mansion? The Holy Majesty's personal promise is not to deceive me, is it?"

As soon as the words "General's Mansion" came out, Lu Guogong, who was about to say something, choked up, almost biting his back molars.

He knew that Lu Chengen was warning him that if he insisted on continuing to intervene in this matter, the other party would really do something like draw a line with the Duke's government in public.So because he valued his face for most of his life, he could only keep his face livid, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Who knows, on the surface Lu Chengen is the youngest general in the dynasty and the most able to share the emperor's worries, but Lu Guogong knows best what kind of a stingy soul is hidden in this body admired by thousands of people But that's all.

If a commotion broke out in the Longevity Hall, the emperor might not like it, and the Duke's Mansion must not take such a risk.

Lu Guogong turned off the fire here, and the emperor heard Lu Chengen's words, he couldn't laugh or cry, he shook his head and scolded: "You monkey, when did I beat you? You made a great contribution this time, not only for me to repel How can I be stingy when the invading enemy offers the method of refining steel and an imperial decree to bestow marriage?"

"However..." the emperor said, looking away a little: "Is Wu Aiqing here?"

This sound directly brought Wu Xiuyuan back to his senses, who was stunned by the news that Lu Chengen asked to marry his own daughter. He hurriedly got up and walked to the table, and knelt down all of a sudden: "My minister is here!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao didn't care about the bewildered emotions rolling in her head, she directly pulled Haiyao and knelt down behind Wu Xiuyuan.

The emperor's eyes focused on Haiyao's body, and then he said in a pleasant voice: "Wu Aiqing don't need to be nervous. This marriage has been ordered by parents since ancient times. Although I have agreed to General Lu, I still have to respect Wu Aiqing's wishes." mean."

Wu Xiuyuan sneered twice when he heard the words, and raised his head slightly bravely, and the goal he saw was the tall and straight figure in front of him.

At that time, Lu Chengen had just stood up according to the emperor's will. Seeing him looking over, he thought about it, and in order to show goodwill, he finally pulled the corners of his mouth symbolically.It's just that I don't know if it's because the evil spirit on his body is too strong, or something else, when the two looked at each other, Wu Xiuyuan quickly looked away as if he saw a cat's mouse.

Haiyao, who noticed all this out of the corner of her eye, wanted to laugh inexplicably.

Sure enough, in the next second, Wu Xiuyuan lowered his head again: "My humble minister, thank you Lord Long En!"

Such a straightforward and affirmative answer did not make the others look contemptuous. If he didn't answer now, his eyes would drop in shock.You don't really think that the emperor's inquiry is asking for opinions, do you?It would be shameless to dare to refuse the emperor's marriage offer.

Haiyao blinked, feeling no sense of reality in her heart.

With so many people present, no one even thought to ask her for her opinion. Sure enough, women in feudal society were mostly sad, as if they were beautiful objects placed there. Although they were expensive, they could only be slaughtered. .

Fortunately, she had expected the scene in front of her. After all, Luo Hongxin was not a vegetarian in the entire Luo family. Lu Chengen must think of some unexpected ways to protect her from the Luo family's subordinates.

It's just a little surprised, Haiyao never imagined that this young general Lu was really willing to use his marriage to fulfill the previous promise, it seems that this fine steel refining method is really powerful, no wonder one or two of them all Eyeing.

"It's so good." The emperor touched the beard on his chin in satisfaction.

The old eunuch on the side was very winking and shouted in a sharp voice: "Master Wu, what are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and bring Miss Wu to the front?"

Only then did Wu Xiuyuan come back to his senses, and hurriedly led Zhao and Haiyao to the front of the hall, then knelt down as usual, and whispered the name of his daughter to the old eunuch.

Lu Chengen simply lifted his robe and knelt down not far from Haiyao's side, this move attracted envious looks from many noble ladies.

Then the servants in front of the imperial court offered the Four Treasures of the Study with a wink, the emperor waved his arms, and as the jade seal was heavily covered on the imperial decree made of silk, everything was settled in an instant.

"I heard that Haiyao, the daughter of the University of Wu University, is virtuous and honest... Now, when General Lu is getting married, he should choose a virtuous girl and a wife... Xu chooses an auspicious day to get married, hereby!" The old eunuch finished reading the imperial decree, holding his throat, Bowing down to Lu Chengen: "Our family congratulates little general Lu for getting what he wanted, will the general accept the order?"

"The minister accepts the order!"

"Wei Chen accepts the order!"

Just as Lu Chengen kowtowed to thank him, Wu Xiuyuan also kowtowed with Zhao Shi and Haiyao, and then stood up with the eunuch's support.

The emperor looked at the pair of Bi people standing separately below, with a flash of satisfaction in his eyes, his body has become more and more dilapidated in the past two years, and suspicion in his old age seems to be a common problem of superiors.

A strong alliance is obviously something he doesn't want to see, so a military general like Lu Chengen who holds military power takes the initiative to marry the daughter of the opposing official's family, and the official's official position is not considered prominent, so then It suits him very well.

Finally at this moment, the emperor seemed to have noticed Luo Hongxin who had been kneeling in the corner again, and couldn't help but feel apologetic: "By the way, what kind of reward does the boy of the Luo family like? I'll be happy if I say it out loud like General Lu."

Luo Hongxin lowered his eyes slightly to hide the red bloodshot eyes. After the initial shock, he has already restrained his extroverted emotions and restored his usual calmness: "Caomin only hope that my country will be prosperous and the country will be prosperous." Changsheng, Shengshang Longti Kangtai, long live long live long live long live!"

These words successfully coaxed the emperor to smile, and in a blink of an eye, he was rewarded with many rare treasures, even two exotic dancers who were just sent by the envoys of the small country, which made others look jealous.

Luo Hongxin was very thankful on the surface, not to mention it for the time being, in the short time left tonight, Wu Xiuyuan's desk was quickly surrounded by a tight crowd.The ministers who had made good friends with him came to congratulate him one after another with glasses of wine. After a few cups of yellow soup, the man soon became a little confused.

At this time, Mrs. Zhao was also surrounded by those wives who congratulated on the surface but inquired about the news. After suffering, she didn't understand what was going on, and she still had to brace herself to deal with the evil intentions.

In the middle of the two impenetrable human walls, Haiyao huddled on the chair, vaguely saw Lu Chengen in the distance, and the situation did not seem to be much better.

As for Luo Hongxin... he disappeared soon after receiving the reward.

The men in the crowd seemed to have noticed something, and the eyes of the two caught off guard for a brief moment in the air.

Haiyao nodded her head vaguely as a thank you, and Haiyao quickly looked away, while the lively atmosphere of the Wanshou Hall lasted until midnight.

When the servant of the Wu Mansion who was waiting outside the palace gate picked up the drunken Wu Xiuyuan from the two young eunuchs, Mrs. Zhao let out a long breath, waved her handkerchief and ordered the servants to quickly carry him up. carriage.

When the carriage was driving unhurriedly on the main road in the city, there was a vague sound of watchmen's beating outside, and it was already the third watch.

After wiping the thin sweat from the forehead of the drunk Wu Xiuyuan, Mrs. Zhao finally turned around, frowning tightly: "Yao'er, when did you meet that evil star from the Lu family? He Why did you follow you?"

Wu Xiuyuan is a civil servant, influenced by her husband, the Zhao family naturally has a set of standards for judging people.

The only thing that is certain is that none of Lu Chengen meets the couple's expectations for their future son-in-law. Even if the Duke's family is high, and Lu Chengen himself has outstanding abilities, Mrs. Zhao still feels uncomfortable at the moment.

The woman has always wanted to find a suitable husband for her daughter, but she never thought that the choice would fall into the hands of the king of hell.

"When I followed Cousin Zhen and... to Minghu in the suburbs, I saw it from afar." Haiyao replied vaguely.

Receiving the response, Mrs. Zhao was silent for a long time, and in the end she could only let out a long sigh, and raised her hand to gently caress her head: "Military generals are no better than civil servants, mother is afraid that you will be bullied, fortunately, it was the Holy Majesty's own words." marriage……"

"This little general Lu has a mansion granted by the imperial court outside. As long as you marry him, he will be the mistress of the general's mansion. As for the muddy water in the Duke's mansion, you just remember that it is far away... "

Every exhortation is filled with a naked motherly heart, and Haiyao earnestly responded to each of them.

Seeing her so well-behaved, Mrs. Zhao felt even more sad. She turned her face and wiped the corners of her eyes lightly with a kerchief: "I wanted to keep you for two more years, but after all, it was a failure."

Haiyao lowered her eyes silently.

In the next few days, Wu Xiuyuan and Zhao Shi began to gradually accept the reality. Here Zhao Shi was preparing a dowry for her in the mansion, while Wu Xiuyuan discovered the unexpected joy brought about by this marriage in the court.

The Prince's faction didn't know if it was because they were worried about Lu Chengen, so they put away their minions for a rare time and stopped forcing him everywhere, but it was rare for him to breathe a sigh of relief.

It is worth mentioning that, two days after the end of the Longevity Festival, Lu Chengen personally went to the door to accept the pick, and discussed with Wu Xiuyuan to formally hand over his and Haiyao's horoscope to Qin Tianjian.

Since the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, all the steps were handed over to the palace. This can be regarded as the emperor giving Lu Chengen face, an honor that no one else can ask for.

On the day of Nacai, according to the rules, Haiyao could only stay obediently in the Liuliyuan, so she couldn't see each other. Fortunately, Chunxi ran from both sides of the front yard and the back yard, and gave her a rough description of the scene she saw.

In short, what Lu Chengen gave her was a very enviable scene among the noble girls waiting to be married in Beijing.

In this way, even Mrs. Zhao, who was somewhat dissatisfied with this marriage before, turned her back completely, saying that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and even opened their eyes every morning with a smile on their face.

And when everyone in the Wu Mansion was beaming with joy, the annual Royal Autumn Hunt also came quietly.
