Come on, Your Highness

Qingzhengdian

Emperor Tiangan raised his hand with a smile, "Let's be flat, I haven't seen you a few times throughout the year, it's strange today, I know to come and see Brother Huang, sit down."

Princess Liyang sat down next to the chair and smiled, "Forgive me, brother, I've been very busy recently, and I really don't have time to spare. I finally settled down a few days ago, so my sister came here uninvited."

"Oh, is that kid Shaoqi?"

"Isn't that right? I have seen a lot of people inside and out. Either I think the girl is unattractive, or I think the temper is dull and unsuitable. She is very picky." Princess Liyang took a sip of tea, "I want my sister to say, this marriage When a wife marries a virtuous wife, looks are second to none, but this brat just doesn’t listen, and it gave me a headache.”

"Young Muai, that's exactly the case." Emperor Tiangan said with a smile, "You, for the sake of harmony between husband and wife, the most important thing is that Shaoqi himself is willing, otherwise he will become a resentful spouse, and in the end it will be you who are not."

"Brother Huang is right at all, so didn't my sister be patient and let him choose? Ten can't do it, just twenty, twenty can't do it, just a hundred. The ladies in the capital are full of ladies, so I will choose them." Believe it or not, he doesn't like any of them! If they really don't catch your eye, it's his fate, and he deserves to be single."

"Nonsense." Emperor Tiangan laughed, "So who is this for?"

"My sister was so annoying that day. She tried to keep her ears clean. She went to Huguo Temple to offer incense, but she met the eldest girl of Wei Guogong's family. She was really beautiful. It sounded like she was here to pray for her brother. My sister looked at her coldly. , that demeanor is dignified and elegant, and people like it at first sight, and when I turn around and tell that brat, guess what's going on, Brother Huang?"

"Fancy?"

"Yeah, not only fell in love with him, but also blushed." Princess Liyang snorted, "He is very domineering on weekdays, and I have never seen him like this before!"

"Haha..." Emperor Tiangan laughed loudly, "Now you can feel at ease."

Princess Liyang rolled her eyes, and her whole face was filled with a satisfied smile, "So my sister will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so I will ask the emperor for a favor and give them both a face."

Emperor Tiangan thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, it's a good couple, and I should give you a marriage. However, there is only one girl in Wei Guogong's mansion who is waiting to be married. What does he mean, are you willing?"

Princess Liyang raised her hand, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Brother Emperor, can Duke Wei not like your nephew's appearance? I met him in person some time ago, and I am satisfied with what Shaoqi said. If you are worried, why not come and ask Duke Xuanwei now."

"Now, in such a hurry?" Emperor Tiangan was surprised.

"Ms. Chen, hurry up. Your nephew finally fell in love with one of them. If you miss my sister, where can I go to find a satisfactory daughter-in-law? You will have to die of exhaustion." Princess Liyang stared, "Wei Guogong's mansion is also looking after him, I heard that the eldest son of the Yue Palace is also interested, you have to give your nephew a hard time, otherwise the sister-in-law will not follow you."

"Okay, okay, Huang Ji, Duke Xuanwei."

Princess Liyang touched her lips with a handkerchief, covered her smile, and said gratefully, "Thank you, brother."

Sansong Hall

Hearing the report from the people below, Wei Guogong frowned tightly, and his face was covered with frost.

He Xiang asked cautiously: "Grandpa, Liyang Princess Mansion..."

"Don't mention it anymore, even if Lingshan becomes an old girl, she won't marry such a person."

"Yes."

"Send someone to prepare a generous gift, and the old man will write a reply letter and send it to the Princess Mansion together." Wei Guogong said and sat down, but the brush had just absorbed the ink, and before he finished writing, he heard a call at the door, "Guogong Mansion, The emperor summoned."

Wei Guogong stood in the Qingzheng Hall, listening to Emperor Tiangan's inquiry, his face was shocked, but his heart was cold.

Princess Liyang sat on the side, and asked with a smile: "I know that the Duke is reluctant to part with Lingshan. If I had such a girl, I would also be reluctant to marry her. But when the girl grows up, she always has to find her husband's family. Shaoqi is determined to marry him, and in the future he will definitely marry her." Pain her, please don't worry, Grandpa."

Emperor Tiangan also nodded when he heard the words, "My nephew, I know, is a good one. Shaoqi has worked hard to make progress. He has been in the Imperial Forest Army for two years now, so he should be promoted."

"Ah, that sister-in-law is really thankful to the emperor, Shaoqi will definitely live up to the expectations of the emperor." Princess Liyang bowed happily, and then turned to ask Wei Guogong, "Master, can you rest assured?"

Princess Liyang's eyes were fixed, with a hint of strength hidden in her smiling eyes, while Emperor Tiangan looked forward, obviously very satisfied with the marriage, if he refused, he would be ignorant.

Wei Guogong spoke bitterly, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind frequently, but in the end he said respectfully: "Lingshan grew up pampered and naive, so please forgive me, princess."

Princess Liyang laughed tremblingly, "Duke Wei is so modest, I just like Lingshan's temperament, brother, look..."

"A man with talent and a woman with good looks makes a perfect couple."

When Wei Guogong came out of the palace gate, he immediately sighed, and said to He Xiang: "There is no need to go to the Princess Mansion, just leave it at that."

Back at Duke Wei's mansion, in Hesong Courtyard, he told the old lady: "Add another [-]% to Lingshan's dowry."

Seeing his expression, the old lady was overjoyed and said hastily: "I understand that the eldest girl is the first one in this mansion to get married, so it must be lively and lively, but the Duke of the country seems not very happy to see it, but coming out What's the matter?"

Seeing the concerned expression, Wei Guogong immediately gave her a sideways glance. He was about to question her, but suddenly he couldn't speak. Now that this matter is a foregone conclusion, what else is there to say?

"You take care of yourself." He finally put down such a sentence, turned around and left as if he was tired.

Nanny Sun supported the old lady, and asked in a low voice: "Madam, I'm afraid the Duke of the State knows about it."

"So what?" The old lady sneered, "Princess Liyang can be regarded as the first among the eldest princesses. The consort sacrificed for the emperor, and the emperor took pity on her even more. Even if Zhan Shaoqi has that kind of problem, so what? He will bring a few more when he gets married. A dowry maid is nothing more important than the marriage in the princess mansion."

Grandma Sun said sadly: "What you said is true, but that is the only daughter of the Eldest Master after all. The Duke is not happy. If there is anything Missy will do in the future, I will definitely blame you."

The old lady smiled, "It's okay, I'm already half buried in the loess, and what I do is only for the sake of my children and grandchildren, is it possible that I'm still afraid of complaining?"

"What the old lady said is, what about the eldest lady, if she causes trouble, this marriage will not be a marriage but an enemy..."

"Hmph, what can people like noodles do? Marrying and obeying their husbands, is it possible that the three obediences and four virtues have been read in vain for so many years? Even if you look like you are going to die now, once you marry someone, you will be honest immediately, and you can live your life as you want No. Besides, her mother is still in the mansion!"

"The old lady is wise."

The old lady sneered, "Don't look at the embarrassment of the Duke, but the mother and daughter are the only ones in the Duke's mansion who are not happy."

He Lingshan stood there blankly, her whole body was as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Wei Guogong couldn't bear it, "Lingshan, it's my grandfather who is useless, he should have called off this marriage long ago."

The eldest lady listened, knelt down, and cried bitterly: "My lord, think of a way. Shan'er doesn't need a high-ranking official and rich salary. She just asks for someone who loves her. We don't want the family name anymore. Please ask the emperor to take it back." Fate..."

Duke Wei sighed, "It's too late, and if you don't obey the edict, the whole family has to go in."

"Shan'er is the master's only daughter, my lord!" The eldest lady broke down in tears, as if she was about to faint.

Mentioning the eldest son, Wei Guogong felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help turning his eyes red, "Old man... I'm sorry for him!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was no possibility of turning around, Wei Guogong said: "You should prepare more for Shan'er, and speak up as soon as possible if you need anything."

"My lord, my lord, Shan'er can't get into that fire pit, my lord, please save her—" Seeing that he was about to leave, the eldest lady immediately crawled forward, as if she wanted to grab the last straw.

When the eldest lady passed He Lingshan, she was grabbed by He Lingshan, "Mother, forget it, it's because my daughter is stupid, it's all fate, it's already predestined, don't... please..." She lowered her head, unable to see clearly There is nothing more sad than death in the expression, and the seemingly calm words made people feel even more sad for no reason.

"Shan'er..."

He Lingshan raised her head and looked at Wei Guogong who was standing by the door. She forced a smile, bowed her head and said, "It's not filial to bother grandfather about your granddaughter's affairs."

"It's the old man who is sorry for you." Wei Guogong said.

He Lingshan shook her head, "It's not your fault, it's all my granddaughter's own fault. I should have asked my grandfather to make the decision, otherwise I wouldn't make it difficult for you." She opened her eyes, but the tears just fell down, and she wanted to bite lips, without a single sob.

Wei Guogong couldn't bear to watch any more, his heart was twisted like a knife, and he felt guilty that he couldn't stay any longer.

It wasn't until Wei Guogong's figure left that He Lingshan fell limply on the maidservant, weeping silently.

When He Xichao heard the news, it was already time for dinner.

The marriage bestowed by the emperor is also a big event, and soon it spread in the harem, Xinrui listened to it, thinking that it had something to do with both Xiao Hong and He Xichao, so she also said a few words as a topic of conversation.

He Xichao frowned on the spot, "Princess Liyang?"

Xinrui nodded, "Yes, Princess Liyang personally went to the palace to ask the emperor to point out the eldest daughter of Duke Wei's mansion to her eldest son. The emperor also invited Duke Wei to inquire. Both families were interested, so they married her."

He Xichao sneered: "Both families are interested, what a good grandfather, a good marriage."

Xiao Hong felt that something was wrong, so he asked: "What's the matter, isn't this relative good? Zhan Shaoqi can be considered young and promising."

He Xichao glanced at him, "Does marriage only look at appearances?"

"What's up with him?"

He Xichao looked at Xiao Hong's bewildered look, thought about it for a while, and then said the matter.

"This...then why did my grandfather agree? Didn't he make my cousin suffer?" Xiao Hongda was surprised, "Even beat everyone in the house, what kind of man is this!"

"An incompetent man only knows how to mess around." He Xichao felt agitated, put down his chopsticks, and stopped eating.

Xiao Hong looked at him, thought for a while and said, "Why don't I go and tell my father to see if I can ask him to take it back."

He Xichao rolled his eyes, "Are you going?"

"Well, who made you unhappy." Xiao Hong said.

He Xichao immediately rolled his eyes at him and said: "Don't be naive, the deal is done and nothing can be changed. If you go, there will be no benefit other than being reprimanded by the emperor."

Xiao Hong scratched his head, "I'm just telling Father the truth."

"The emperor won't want to hear the truth." He Xichao said calmly, "Even if the decree of marriage has not been made, the golden mouth has already been spoken. If you tell the emperor now, it is to let him talk about it. Let him know that the decree is to make a He was too shy to push the girl into the fire pit. Besides, grandfather didn't say anything, you will only cause trouble if you jump out, after all, we can't control this matter."

He Xi said expressionlessly: "Except for the eldest aunt and cousin, this family of in-laws is beneficial to Duke Wei's mansion, and even the one in the harem." He paused, then suddenly looked at Xinrui, "Auntie, Liyang What is the relationship between the princess and the empress?"

After class in the study room on the second day, He Xichao returned to Duke Wei's mansion.

The servants were carrying one set of dowry with red silk inside, Ah Fu said: "Young master, that is the betrothal gift from the Liyang Princess Mansion to the eldest lady, it completely filled the front yard, and the servants settled down." There is no place, which shows how much the princess attaches great importance to the eldest lady."

He Xichao glanced at him and walked straight through.

An Yunxuan,

While serving He Xichao some food, Li Yuechan talked about the appointment of the princess's mansion today, with a lot of envy in her words.

"The Princess Mansion is indeed rich and powerful. Yu Ruyi alone has several handles, but it opened my mother's eyes."

He Xichao took a sip of the soup and said, "Since it's a daughter-in-law who has gone to great lengths to marry her, naturally she should be more generous."

Li Yuechan agreed very much when she heard the words, looked at He Xichao with a smile and said: "My son is getting older, and in a few years, mother will have to look around to look after the girl, so I have to save the dowry for you earlier."

He Xichao blinked, "I'm only nine years old."

"Yeah, I'll be nine years old in a blink of an eye." Li Yuechan sighed, "Seeing you make progress step by step, the daughter-in-law's family status will only get higher and higher in the future. If my mother doesn't save now, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it when the time comes." A decent dowry makes people laugh."

He Xichao looked at her suspiciously, "How do you plan to save?"

A box was placed in front of He Xichao, He Xichao opened it, and took out a stack of bank notes and land deeds, the amount was quite a lot.

"Where did it come from?"

Li Yuechan was a little apprehensive. Faced with so much money and property, her son didn't even blink his eyes, unlike her, who was really frightened for a long time when he saw it before calming down.

"Your grandmother has been here," she said softly.

Lee's?He Xichao snorted coldly, "Is that how you accept it?"

Li Yuechan was a little nervous, "Your grandmother said it was your mother's dowry."

He Xichao closed the box and did not speak.

Li Yuechan couldn't help persuading: "This is also your grandfather's kindness, cherish the court, you take the bank ticket, and you can take care of it when you enter the palace."

He Xichao picked the floating leaves in the cup and couldn't help but sneered: "I've been in the palace for three years, and now I remember to send money here, who should I take care of?"

Li Yuechan was a little restless, she sighed: "Your grandfather is such a person, now you are a high school scholar, and you have won the emperor's award, and you have face with him. You are the young master of Wei Guogong's mansion, but if you have the help of Li's mansion in the future, you will also be in the same place." Network, isn't it?"

"This connection can be built on the basis of my son's high school all the way. If he is not careful, he may not even be able to knock on the door. Mother, do you think it is useful?"

Li Yuechan could hear He Xichao's sarcasm, but she came from the Li family after all, and it was her wish to ease the relationship with her natal family, "Anyway, she is also your grandfather."

He Xichao saw Li Yuechan's thoughts, so he didn't say any harsh words, and could only say: "Since you have already accepted it, there is no reason to go back, you can do whatever you want in the future, but don't drag your son along." , my son is busy studying and has no time to rush through the door."

"Understood." Seeing that He Xichao was unwilling, Li Yuechan had no choice.

The author has something to say: Some people hate it, but it is always indispensable.

Was Li Yuechan the reason for He Xichao's struggle?Besides, there is always someone who wants to hold back, right?

Hehe...
