Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

The news of the cancellation of the marriage gift has not been sent back to Nanyue. Li Xu has already known about the An Ning family's marriage. They all only said that they wanted to marry their son, not their second son. Even when Mr. Ning proposed to the emperor, he only mentioned that he wanted to marry his own son.

In order to settle the dust as soon as possible, the Ning family quickly sent someone to deliver the letter of appointment, and even the date of welcoming the bride was set very close. Fortunately, Miss An's dowry had already been prepared. According to the best way, now I only marry the Ning family, but I have a lot of money.

However, after seeing Mrs. Ning really sent the set of Fengguan Xiapei, the An family didn't cut down the dowry, since it belonged to her daughter anyway, she would be better off with more dowry.

At the same time, the Fu family also agreed to the marriage. People in the Fu family rarely went out. It was not until the marriage was finalized that they heard that Miss An would marry into the Ning family. The An family revealed that they were going to marry Ning Erlang. How can this be?The Fu family didn't dare to be careless, so they sent someone to the Ning's house overnight to question, and learned that Miss An was going to marry Ning Sanlang, probably because they were afraid of losing face, so they didn't tell the truth.

Mrs. Ning said sincerely: "Go back and let your wife feel at ease to prepare for marriage, and my Ning family will definitely not treat her badly."

The Fu family got it right, although they couldn't figure out what the An family was thinking, thinking that Miss An's reputation was damaged because of the imperial decree's resignation, they took this bad idea, but they didn't care.

The wedding ceremony was arranged on the same day. Ning Erlang first went to Fu's house to marry his wife on his behalf, and then changed into a new dress and went to An's house to marry Miss An. Such a strange thing naturally spread among the people. Everyone thought that Ning Erlang Erlang wants to marry two wives at the same time. Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not uncommon for even wives.

There are also good people who spread the news about Ning Erlang's liking for Ms. Yi'an, and the common people think self-righteously: Ning Erlang must marry Ms. An, and Mrs. Ning only likes the cousin of the Fu family, so neither of them will let the other go. , simply married together.

There are also smart people who can see that there is a problem in this. These two families are not small, how could they marry Ning Erlang at the same time, and Ning Erlang is not such an outstanding person.

After reading the contents of the letter, Li Xu became angry. He didn't like Miss An, but Mrs. Ning's way of cheating the marriage was malicious. This kind of vicious woman was more disgusting than his stepmother.The letter only mentioned what happened on the day of the marriage, but Li Xu knew that after Miss An learned that she was going to marry a dead person, how could she not make trouble?It is doomed for the Ning family to be restless.

Li Xu took a deep breath, and immediately wrote a reply letter to Lei Luo. If he was in the capital, he would definitely not let this happen. Neither the An family nor the Fu family should step into the muddy waters of the Ning family. Especially Master Fu is one of the few people who has expressed kindness to him.

But he couldn't blame Lei Luo, he was just following orders, and he just stood by and watched this incident, and didn't do anything to make things worse. No matter how angry Li Xu was, he couldn't blame him, but he still deducted Lei Luo in one breath. The reason for Luo's bonus for a whole year is that he is young and energetic, and he is not calm and thoughtful enough in situations.

When Kou Xiao came back, what he saw was King Shun who was turned into a puffer fish, and he was angry at Liu Shu, "If you do something bad, you should be punished, you should be punished, you should be beaten, and if it is not good, you can just throw it out. Why are you still right?" Cursing, what kind of person are you?"

Liu Shu was aggrieved and stood aside to be scolded, and defended in a low voice: "I didn't scold him, I just said a few words to him, it's just a trivial matter, not to the point of kicking him out."

He saw that Li Xu was upset, so he hurriedly apologized and said: "My lord, calm down, it's my slave who made a mistake. I will definitely not do it next time, and I must correct it!"

Li Xu touched his head, saw Kou Xiao coming in, and immediately shifted his firepower, "What time is it, why did you come back?"

Kou Xiao turned his head to look at the setting sun still hanging in the west, and asked inexplicably, "What time is it?"

Liu Shu winked at Kou Xiao behind Li Xu's back, but the two had no tacit understanding. Kou Xiao couldn't receive his hint at all, and added fuel to the fire: "Did the lord miss me? Can't wait to see me so much?"

Li Xu said speculatively: "I think when you can wear your wedding dress to marry this king, have you decided?"

Kou Xiao paused, and asked cautiously: "What wedding dress? Didn't you agree not to wear the wedding dress?"

"Have you? When did the king say that?"

No matter how stupid Kou Xiao was, he knew that he was implicated. He glared at Liu Shu, then found an excuse and ran away. He walked out of the yard and dragged someone casually and asked, "Who did the lord meet today? Did you argue with anyone?"

The servant replied respectfully: "My lord met Mr. Ji and Mr. Lei this morning, and received a few stewards in the afternoon. Afterwards, he received a letter from the capital, and he did not quarrel with anyone."

Kou Xiao knew very well that the officials in Nanyue and the stewards of the palace would never dare to quarrel with Li Xu, and Li Xu was not a bad-tempered person, if he would get angry, something serious must have happened, all he could think of was the letter from the capital.

"Could it be that there has been another twist in the matter of giving the marriage?" Kou Xiao rubbed his head and stepped into the courtyard again.

Liu Shu was kicked out of the study room, standing in the courtyard and crying silently, only to smile when he saw Kou Xiao, "General Kou, didn't the servant remind you just now not to hit the muzzle of the gun, why are you so straightforward? Hey, It's all because the servant didn't hold the prince."

Kou Xiao stood in front of him, squinting at him, this little eunuch was always uneasy, look at this gloating look, "I don't know who was scolded worse, didn't he even drive you out? "

"That's because the slave knew that the prince needs some time to clean up, so he automatically quit."

"Really? Why is the prince angry?"

Liu Shu didn't intend to hide it from him, so he told about what the Ning family in the capital had done, and finally sighed: "Hey, the matter of giving the marriage was settled, and the prince is very happy. I didn't expect Mrs. Ning to be so vicious. It is clear that Miss An is the most important thing, and Miss Biao of the Fu family is also implicated."

Kou Xiao asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with your lord? The woman wanted to marry Miss An because she wanted to take revenge on the lord? Maybe not?"

Liu Shu touched his conscience and said: "Half and half, if she is not the prospective princess, Mrs. Ning may not be so crazy, but the prince is not angry about this, he just doesn't like a poisonous woman like Mrs. People, don't be ashamed."

"Then he should be angry that Lei Luo failed to stop this in time, right? The prince is just too kind."

Liu Shu nodded frequently, no, the prince of his family probably moved his heart for the sake of the common people in the world, no one would be angry because of two irrelevant women, don't be angry and ruin your body.

Li Xu was just angry for a while, and it's fine when he's over. Maybe Mrs. Li left a deep impression on him in his previous life. He didn't like women with deep plans. From this, it can be seen that he would fall in love with Kou Xiao. Suddenly, maybe he is secretly repelling women.

He opened the door of the study and saw Kou Xiao and Liu Shu standing in the yard chatting, so he shouted: "Let's have barbecue tonight, hurry up and get ready."

Li Xu's so-called barbecue is not the current barbecue, but to prepare dozens of dishes, skewered with bamboo sticks. At first, everyone thought it was a lot of trouble, and vegetables and fruits can also be grilled, which is too weird, but the number of times is too many , I also had fun eating it.

Seeing that he was still thinking about eating, the two of them guessed that he was not angry anymore. Kou Xiao strode over, hugging Li Xu and said crookedly: "My lord, let's talk about getting married again. When is the date? I think The fifteenth day of this month is pretty good, don’t you think?”

"Fifteen? Isn't that the day after tomorrow?"

"That's right, the [-]th moon is round, what a wonderful day it is."

"Go away, what can you do in two days? There's no time to prepare the banquet."

"How is it possible? With the order of the prince, let alone two days, it can be set up in half a day. The guests don't need to think too much, and everyone who can come will come. Let's set up a floating table at the door, how about it?"

Kou Xiao has thought about everything, what else can Li Xu say, but it is impossible to get married on the fifteenth day, no matter how casually, it is impossible to really spend two days preparing.

"The matter of marriage has to be reported to the emperor, and he will agree to it. I'm afraid it will not be that easy."

Kou Xiao hugged him and said, "I can wait, but the baby in my sister's womb can't wait, how many months has the baby been?"

Li Xu counted with his fingers, "It's almost seven months, isn't it? It seems that we can only get married after birth, otherwise the seven-month-old belly won't be able to cover it."

After Li Xu finished speaking, he cast a glance at Kou Xiao's belly. How much cotton would he have to stuff into these eight-pack abs to disguise them as a seven-month pregnant belly?

Kou Xiao was chilled by his gaze, and quickly asked, "Where's the baby? Haven't you found it yet?"

"I didn't look for it at all. Do you want to enter the life of raising children as soon as you get married?" Li Xu already has a daughter, and this daughter can run, dance, talk and sing. Who can bear to have a baby.

And after all, it is someone else's child, how to raise it to become your own is also a matter of knowledge.

Kou Xiao doesn't care if he has children or not, even if he does, there are a bunch of servants waiting for him, what does it have to do with him?But he still doesn't want Li Xu to have more than one son who is not his own, the consequences are a bit serious.

The two avoided this topic again, and talked about another matter that caught Li Xu's attention.

"The third prince disappeared in Cangzhou, or he deliberately hid it. Anyway, our people have not heard from him for a month."

When Li Xu learned from Guanshi Jin that the third prince had left the imperial mausoleum for Cangzhou, he sent someone to look for the third prince in Cangzhou. He wanted to find out what his purpose was, otherwise he wouldn't know when the sky changed.

The governor of Cangzhou is from the Zhao family, and Li Xu concluded that he would go to the governor of Zhao, so he had someone monitor the governor's mansion.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to find the third prince's whereabouts. He lived in a dilapidated farmhouse, surrounded by civilians pretending to be soldiers. Zhao Junshou would often look for the third prince at night. As for what they were plotting, the spies couldn't get close. unknown.

"Could it be that he went back to the imperial mausoleum?" The more Li Xu thought about it, the more likely it was, he had been out for several months, it was impossible not to go back, and it would be the emperor's birthday soon, maybe the emperor would think of him on this day?After all, what happened to the beast happened on that day.

No matter how the emperor felt when he thought of him, at least he couldn't let him find out that he had left the imperial tomb, so it was necessary to go back.

Kou Xiao nodded and said, "I'm going to write a letter for someone to investigate, but I don't know why he went to Cangzhou. He is mysterious, so there must be no good."

"Look at both sides first, no matter what he thinks about, he will always show his feet. As long as it is not targeting South Vietnam, everything is fine."

Kou Xiao is not afraid of him either. Judging from his past deeds, the third prince is not a very shrewd person, but ambitious. Such a person would not be able to accomplish great things.

"The Zhao family has settled down a lot recently, and they don't like to show off in major affairs in the court, and they no longer compete with Prime Minister Wei. It seems that the Zhao family is indeed holding back."

"The Zhao family... This king has always suspected that the Zhao family's think tank is the one in the palace. The Zhao family grew up after Mrs. Zhao became favored. Half of it is based on nepotism. Every time the third prince gets into trouble, someone wipes his ass. , this person is most likely to be his mother."

"It also makes sense. The current dormant state of the Zhao family is probably also related to Mrs. Zhao's loss of favor. After the emperor became obsessed with alchemy, he didn't care so much about the harem."

Speaking of alchemy, Li Xu wanted to get angry again. Why did the emperors of all dynasties want to live forever?And there are so many lessons learned from the past, why can't I wake up?If he can really live a long life, what else can he do?

"Is there no way to stop the emperor from alchemy? He is seeking his own death!" Li Xu said angrily.

Kou Xiao shrugged, not caring too much about the safety of his father-in-law, "Who dares to persuade him, don't you die? Besides, all the officials in the court who mentioned this matter a few times were either dismissed or demoted. Dare to mention it?"

Li Xu also had nothing to say, the emperor's wrath was indeed accompanied by blood splattered three feet, since ancient times there were not many officials who dared to risk their lives to speak out, and it was even more impossible for Li Xu to let his own people take this risk.

Kou Xiao didn't want to mention the matter of the emperor, but he still remembered the matter of the emperor bestowing on Li Xu a marriage, so he urged Li Xu to quickly write a note to ask for instructions on getting married.

"What if the emperor disagrees, and I point you to another person?"

"I probably won't. I have already failed once. If I give another marriage this time, whose daughter will he choose? The daughter of the minister's family in Beijing is definitely not good, and the one from a small place is not good enough. After sifting and sifting, I will finally find a daughter." If there is no suitable candidate, it is better to fulfill this king, anyway, the Kou family is originally a dignitary in South Vietnam, and whether or not they are close has no effect on him."

"I hope so, but Mrs. Ning probably won't be happy to see your wish come true. If she interferes, it's hard to say whether the emperor will allow it or not." Kou Xiao originally thought that no matter how smart a woman is, she would not be able to interfere with the emperor. I didn't expect that I would underestimate the courage and intelligence of women. If Mrs. Ning was born as a man, she might be a talent.

Li Xu frowned when he heard this person, "She probably doesn't have time to take care of other things. It's no wonder that the An family doesn't make trouble. The two families have similar forces and are also valued by the emperor. I don't know who will win this war without gunpowder smoke. .”
