Changqing Ci

Chapter 110 Dowry

Xun Yi didn't agree with her words, and was about to refute, when she heard her say: "Your Highness needs to give an antidote, and this official can keep the Nan Palace safe. This is the final bottom line. The Southwest Army can still be handed over to Xun Yibai. These majesties will not object."

"You think this king will listen to your nonsense, your majesty trusts you, but this king doesn't."

"My lord, I have already resigned from office. I have nothing to do with the court affairs. This is the last thing I can do. My exchange is Liu Ying's whereabouts."

Tang Mo's voice was very soft, but the people in the cell could still hear her words clearly, Xun Yi was startled, and looked at her in disbelief, the man who had once slashed his sword and was covered in blood on his armor began to hesitate, He, who never backed down, was actually a little moved.

Tang Mo said at the right time: "It's not that Liu Ying's tomb can't be found, it's that she didn't die, how did she come to the tomb, my lord, I've stopped talking, and it's useless to say more. I will ask you one last time, the formula of the antidote."

Under Tang Mo's stern gaze, Xun Yi took out a piece of rice paper full of prescriptions from his bosom, and said nervously, "This king will not agree to the matter between the two of them, but Please keep your promise and tell me her whereabouts."

After all, this person has a weakness, but Tang Mo seemed to have never heard of the first half of the sentence, she said lightly: "I think it is better for the prince to resign, if one day your majesty angers the entire palace, it will be bad."

His Majesty can't move him, but His Majesty still dares to move the people of Pingnan Palace, it depends on whether Xun Yi is sensible.

Tang Mo didn't bother to talk to this person anymore, took the prescription and rushed back to the deep palace. At dawn, she finally fed her the soup, her pulse gradually improved, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At least she is awake.

Wei Lingci was always watching over her. Seeing her long, slender eyelashes trembling slightly, he knew she was about to wake up. He took a cloth towel and wiped her cheeks, smiling, and said softly, "Are you awake?"

She handed the cloth towel to the palace maid, leaned over slowly, stared at her delicate face, stroked her earlobe with her fingertips, kissed the corner of her lips lightly, and said with a smile: "Fool, it's time to wake up."

"Huh?" Xun Changqing responded. Hearing such a familiar voice, he couldn't help but open his eyes. It was Wei Lingci's gentle face, "You should kiss me again, and I will wake up soon."

Still so talkative, Wei Lingci obediently kissed her on the forehead. Last night was only a few hours, which made her feel as long as decades. She didn't want to see Xun Changqing again and lose his life for her.

"Your Majesty, you are awake, should you explain your crimes?"

Xun Changqing's heart trembled, he pulled her cuff, and said obediently: "I made a mistake, accept the punishment."

She believes that those unbearable pasts and difficult years should all pass away. This road, Wei Lingci took her to this place, and she should lead the way in the future. She wants to give Wei Lingci the best future.

Knowing her thoughts, Wei Lingci just leaned over and hugged her, brushing her fingers over her back, where Xun Changqing couldn't see, she was slightly red, her throat seemed to be choked, she took a breath, and said: "You know how scared I was last night. I didn't want to lose you again, leaving me alone in this world. Changqing, I need you to go on in the future."

The gentle hand behind her made her very happy, sinking her body and mind little by little. Xun Changqing's body still felt soft, and she was hugged quietly. After a long time, the skirts on her shoulders seemed to be wet, and she expected it. Wei Lingci cried.

Except in her dream, this was the first time she saw Wei Lingci crying, and she felt that Wei Lingci was also a cowardly and selfish person emotionally.

If you look at it with your heart, Wei Lingci's love is very deep, so deep that she can't touch it.

Seeing the two hugging each other tightly, the people in the palace retreated out tactfully.

Hearing the slight sound of the door closing, Wei Lingci tightened his arms even more, hugged him in his arms, and said: "How about you issue an edict today, I am willing to marry you."

"You're so impatient," Xun Changqing replied, being hugged by her, smiling.

"Don't worry, your big wedding is a big event. The Ministry of Rituals will take a long time to arrange it. You will be leaving the filial piety period. The autumn is cool and very nice." Wei Lingci let go of her, and laid her flat on the bed.

A long time ago, she loved Xun Changqing, but her personality was too cold and she didn't know how to express this love.

But Wei Lingci knew in her heart that her love was by no means less than Xun Changqing's, but she was constantly doubting whether her love was wrong.It wasn't until Xun Changqing's death that she realized that that love was right.

"Okay, I will personally write the imperial decree later, and according to the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, even if people in the world call me a faint king, I will marry you into the palace."

"You can't be a fool. You have only been on the throne for three years, and you have pacified the frontier. This is a very good achievement. Before they get over it, at most they will scold me and seduce you to sit down as a teacher. Such wrong things. "

It was obviously a very serious matter, but Wei Lingci said it very easily, with a deep smile on his lips, looking at Xun Changqing, seeming to be teasing, and looking forward to her answer.

Xun Changqing replied with a smile: "You said the wrong thing, but it doesn't mean they will say that I will reject the edict today, and they will not implement it; the six departments will look at Tang Mo's face, I am thinking Why does Tang Mo support you and me so much?"

Changing the subject easily, without being led into a ditch by her, Wei Lingci scratched the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "Perhaps she is different from others, I don't know, but she has a way to make Xun Yi compromise, I'm also curious. It's hard to find a sage, she has the ability to help, but she doesn't have the heart to win power, and it's a good thing for you. If you can't keep it, it's better to let her go back."

Mentioning Xun Yi, Xun Changqing's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he sighed: "The prince killed Zijin and abandoned the relationship between father and daughter. I don't want him to return to court this time. The Pingnan Palace... the glory is all here!" , but cannot get involved in government affairs, this is the last concession.”

Zijin is very important to her, and Wei Lingci also knows that she can't intervene in the affairs of the Pingnan Palace, after all, Xun Changqing has already made his own plans.Xun Yi really went too far this time.

After the post-establishment imperial edict was issued to six departments, it was not only the six departments that were shocked, but the entire imperial capital.Headed by the Ministry of Rites, they jointly signed the petition and asked His Majesty to take back the fame.

The situation in the imperial capital is rising again. In spring, it is clearly a bright sun, the sky is blue like a play, and there is no cloud in the sky, but there is always a layer of haze shrouded in the sky.Every tea shop and tavern is discussing this matter, which overwhelms the matter of pacifying the frontier and the triumphant return of the army.

After receiving the decree, the Six Departments did not act, and there was a faint tendency to fight against the emperor. King Xunyi of Pingnan was imprisoned, and the dragons had no leader. Tang Mo stood in the emperor's line. They were not dangerous in the eyes of the emperor.

The sun was shining, and the late spring brought some heat, and the main street of the imperial capital was still rubbing shoulders. Yuan Yu hugged the candy he had just bought, and walked side by side with Xun Yisu. They had just come out of the tea shop, listening to Seeing a lot of things that slandered His Majesty and Wei Lingci, she was also a little frustrated, "A Su, I always feel bad if this continues. I understand His Majesty's intention to issue an edict at this time, so as to suppress the thoughts in the imperial capital before the army leaves. Those who resisted, but why did she keep the prince locked up."

Xun Yisu looked at the non-thinking person beside him, poked her forehead, and said strangely: "The crime of killing the king, how can it be easily passed, it is a great kindness for His Majesty not to implicate the son and others."

"But other people don't know about these things. Why don't your majesty make it clear and punish those who are disobedient?"

Yuan Yu is Yuan Yu, and things are always kept simple.

Xun Yisu didn't care about Yuan Yu's words, and patiently explained: "Not telling the world, it means that His Majesty doesn't want to implicate other people because of this matter. Although the prince said it was unintentional, he still hurt His Majesty. The Empress Dowager will not forgive easily. The Empress Dowager has no objection to the latter matter, just wait, there will be a day when the Six Parts will compromise."

After His Majesty got married, the affairs of the two of them would be a matter of course. Yuan Yan smiled and walked back with his arms around A Su, and stepped into the eldest princess's mansion, "You said that after you and I get married, you should live here or live in my house. I think it's better here, lest you face my mother all day long."

Yuan Yu's return this time is considered a success, and everyone in the house admires her, but Mrs. Yuan has been thinking about taking her out to see Mr. Xiao Lang all day long, but she doesn't know that she already has a master.

Xun Yisu responded with a smile: "I want to take my concubine mother over. Your Majesty has decreed that she can leave the imperial mausoleum. You will accompany me to pick her up tomorrow."

There is no reason why Yuan Yu should not accept such pleasures as picking up his mother-in-law. He immediately went to prepare for the departure tomorrow.

After the two parties resisted for a month, the six departments were defeated, and the Ministry of Rites chose an auspicious day to go to Ning'an County Lord's Mansion to propose marriage.

Rong An, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was so angry that he would not go to court at home. The emperor issued an order to remove him from the position of minister, and promoted Lin Chen to be minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Lin Chen's first task in office was the empress's wedding. Although it was a hot potato, she would win the favor if she handled it well, but if she was done well, the saliva of those good-for-nothing people outside would drown her.

After thinking about it, she went to the Minister of the Ministry of Households to discuss the matter of the next engagement. When the emperor married the queen, the dowry gift was naturally reduced, so as not to be laughed at.But Daqi fought for years, the treasury was unable to make ends meet, and there was no extra money to hire.

Annoyed and helpless, she pondered for a few days and went to find the little emperor, whether the dowry could be simpler, the Ministry of Households did not pay, and the Ministry of Rites could not come up with a decent gift.

The emperor had just recovered from his illness, but he was in good spirits, and his face was still a little pale. Regarding the wedding, she always did it herself and never borrowed the help of others.

As for the betrothal gift, she had already planned it, took the gift list in Lin Chen's hand, and said with a smile: "These things are all free, and I don't need to pay the money, so I leave it from my private treasury. Lin Chen, I have already prepared the betrothal gift." , you can focus on other things."

Lin Chen, who received the order, heaved a long sigh, and finally didn't have to deal with the people from the household department anymore.She took a look at the emperor's gift list, because she was born in a poor family, and she didn't know many things on it, but it didn't matter whether she knew it or not, as long as the things were there.

The Ministry of Rituals was quick to do things, and after receiving the dowry, she went to Ning'an County Lord's Mansion to make an appointment. At that time, Wei Xiao had just returned, and after seeing that the dowry had filled her courtyard, the things behind were still moving in continuously. The place was released, and she looked at her daughter, "Where did you come from and then move back, I will go with you anyway, and put it here to get in the way."

Can't really move it away, Lin Chen looked at Wei Lingci, and asked for help: "Master Wei, this... can't be moved away, this is His Majesty's own property, and the imperial court has not paid the money, where do you want the officials to move it?"

Wei Xiao left after giving orders. Wei Lingci looked out of the mansion door, where there were densely packed gift boxes, and said with a headache, "Where does she have so much money?"

Lin Chen saw that the future queen looked easy to talk, a beautiful woman in white, clean and refined, not as ugly as she said, so she leaned forward and smiled: "It means that your majesty loves you and cares about you, even if outsiders are jealous." Dare to speak, after all, this is His Majesty's own property, and it doesn't matter if it wastes money and people."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, she looked at Wei Ling's words, she smiled softly, helplessly and dotingly, she rarely smiled so happily in front of outsiders, it dazzled Lin Chen, no wonder His Majesty is so protective of pets Yes, it is indeed beautiful.

Seeing the bewildered look, Wei Lingci didn't say a word, turned around and went to the backyard.

Wei Xiao just came back, and her daughter didn't hide anything from her in the imperial capital. Xun Yi stayed in prison for a long time, and the courtiers wanted to intercede but didn't know how to do so. They didn't dare to say it on the stage, which made them look ugly day by day.

The little emperor's move is too poisonous.

It's hard for people to say anything, and they don't dare to persuade them if they want to persuade them.

After hearing all the incidents, Wei Xiao lifted his teacup angrily, and scolded directly: "Old stubborn, I thought he was upright and upright on the battlefield all these years, and when he returned to the imperial capital, he still played with such unspeakable things, the emperor shouldn't let him go." Come out and take advantage of this to grind his arrogance."

"The Empress Dowager was furious. She wanted to severely punish Pingnan Wangfu, but His Majesty stopped her, but she hasn't let her go yet."

"Your Majesty is locked up like this. It doesn't hurt or itch. What does she want to do?" Wei Xiao raised his head to look at his daughter, but he was also puzzled. It's hard to be closed for a lifetime.

"She wanted to force Liu Ying out. Before she died, Ana Yanran told her that Liu Ying might still be alive. If Liu Ying was alive and saw Xun Yi die, she might come to the Imperial Capital."
