Royal rice bug, worm worm!
Chapter 95 Marriage
Wei Shaoqing's story is so-so, the key is the tone and expression? It is calm and determined, logically rigorous, and Li Xi believes it, let alone the people who eat melons.
Cui Yuan rounded things up wittily: "What Wei Shaoqing said is true. Back then, I was entrusted by the late emperor to pretend to be a husband and wife with Changning Junjun, in order to keep her grandson, who is now the King of Fortune. The reason is, I have made it clear to Chen Fu Yin."
Jing Zhaoyin and Chen Anzhi?: "..."
Have you made it clear?
Li Hong hugged Zheng Jiarou and gave the final blow: "You are all people of great cause and my people. Although this matter is my family matter, it is related to the reserve position and the fate of the country. Soon, I will announce it to the world ,Clarify the past, give me an explanation!"
The people who eat melons are suddenly excited.
Did you hear that, the sage said he would give us an explanation!
It turns out that in the heart of a sage, an ordinary person is so important!
Looking at Li Xi again, his eyes suddenly changed - what kind of adultery?What little bastard?nonexistent!
The family left Jingzhao Mansion under the respectful and excited eyes of the common people.
Wei Yu didn't know when he called the carriage. Anyway, when everyone was about to leave, Li Xi's new car, which was modeled after Ashina Duoduo's "chartered cart", had already parked at the bottom of the steps.
Li Hong personally sent Zheng Jiarou to the car.
Li Xi wanted to rob him, but failed.
Li Hong's complexion was not very good, Li Xi wisely did not provoke him.
As soon as he entered the Tai Chi Hall, Li Hong became angry, "Wei Yu, you are so courageous!"
Wei Yu bowed his head and did not defend himself.
Li Xi was not happy, "The saint is so heartless, if it weren't for Brother Shu Yun, your reputation would be rotten, not only ungrateful, but also scolding him... It's really weirder as you get older."
What old age!
I am not old at all!
Li Hong sneered, "Ask him, is it for me or his selfishness!"
"Brother Shuyun, what bad intentions can you have!" Li Xi bared her small white teeth, and said without humility, "Even if there is such a small amount of selfishness, it must be for me."
Wei Yu smiled.
With Li Xi's words, all of this is worth it.
Li Hong was right, he just had selfish motives.
In the final analysis, this story was made up for Li Xi.
First, clarify the rumors in the fastest and most straightforward way, and erase the stigma of Li Xi's "son of adultery".
Second, block the saint's retreat.
No matter how much sincerity he has for Zheng Jiarou, once this story is released, he will have to welcome Zheng Jiarou into the palace.
As long as Zheng Jiarou becomes an upright imperial concubine, Li Xi will be an upright prince.
Going one step further, if Zheng Jiarou was granted the title, Li Xi would be the only legitimate son of the Daye dynasty, who else would be the crown prince?
The point of Li Hongsheng's anger is not that Wei Yu calculated himself, but that——
"You are using Changning Junjun, using me! Have you asked her if she is willing? Have you asked me if she is willing?"
"Of course, I'm willing...I'm afraid you won't." This was said to Zheng Jiarou, and her expression and tone were different.
Zheng Jiarou looked haggard, her expression was still gentle and peaceful, "Calm down, don't hurt yourself, and don't... frighten the child."
Li Hong glanced at Li Xi, was he the only one?
If he can be frightened, I will give him two golden mountains!
"I'm so scared! The saint is going to whip me again!" Li Xi jumped up behind Wei Yu, winking.
The corner of Li Hong's mouth twitched, and he quickly explained: "Don't listen to him, I don't usually do this, today is..."
Too worried.
The second half of the sentence is awkward, and I am embarrassed to say it.
Zheng Jiarou understood.
Wei Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
It's not that he didn't consider Zheng Jiarou's wish, but? He expected that Zheng Jiarou would not refuse—she even dared to marry and leave, so how could she dare not be a concubine?
As long as the sage has feelings for Zheng Jiarou, he will have no regrets in this situation.
"Boy Yu did a great job." The Queen Mother stepped into the palace gate and praised it.
Li Hong and Li Xi both went to help.
Wei Yu bowed respectfully.
The Queen Mother looked at him with a smile, and said, "But?, we need to be more round."
Now that the Queen Mother has made a final decision, how dare Li Hong gossip?I had to go around and make up stories honestly.
Cui Yuan also participated in it.
In the end, everyone worked together to compose a stunning work that combines family and country feelings, royal grievances, poignant love, and touching family ties.
Li Xi held a small handkerchief and cried: How touching!
Wei Yu kept a low profile throughout the whole process, and only said a few words when the Queen Mother asked, which was the key point.
Before leaving? The queen mother deliberately turned her head, looked at him, and then at Li Xi, with relief and emotion in her eyes.
The sky is full of red clouds, the dome is full of white clouds, and the eastern sky is faintly shining with brilliant light.
This scene is actually very similar to the day when Li Xi was born.
The Queen Mother let out a sigh of relief.
The first emperor has a spirit in heaven, so I don't think he would blame her.
It was getting late, Cui Yuan had to leave the palace.
Zheng Jiarou also wants to go back.
Li Xi was a little anxious, "Don't you want to be a concubine? Just live in the palace, anyway sooner or later you will live in..."
Leaving the palace, no matter whether it is going back to Cui's house or Zheng's house, it will be embarrassing.
Seeing his worry, Zheng Jiarou became more powerful in her heart.
She smiled softly, and turned to comfort Li Xi: "There are some things that you have to face sooner or later."
For example, Zheng's daughters are not allowed to get along with each other.
For example, Zheng's daughters do not marry the royal family.
If she wants to break the family rules that have been passed down for hundreds of years, she has to go to battle in person and fight hard to gain a glimmer of hope.
If you hide in the palace, then even this glimmer of hope is gone.
Li Xi was still unwilling and tried to make Li Hong an ally.
Unexpectedly, Li Hong nodded his head, "Go back. Wait for me to pick you up."
Tonight, he has a hundred ways to keep Zheng Jiarou in the palace, but he doesn't want to do it.
He wants to marry her as his queen in a dignified manner, and sixteen fine horses will pull her rear chariot to welcome her into the palace, instead of wronging her vaguely and unclearly.
Li Xi snorted, and hurriedly went to see Zheng Jiarou off.She wants to return to Cui's house with Cui Yuan first, and then go to Zheng's house after the matter of reconciliation is cleared up.
Li Xi sent her all the way to the gate of Cui's house.
When getting out of the car, he thoughtfully helped her up.
Originally, he wanted to support his wrist, but accidentally caught his finger.
Both mother and son were startled.
16 years, a full 16 years.
Back then, when Li Xi had just landed, she didn't dare to take a second look, so she asked Zheng Wei to send him out.
This was the first time I held his hand.
The little Routuantuan back then has grown into a smart, handsome, and responsible Haoerlang.
Zheng Jiarou tried her best to restrain herself, she didn't shed tears in front of Li Xi, she just calmed down and mustered up her courage, saying:
"Call again, okay?"
Can't say why, Li Xi's mood? It's a bit complicated, and he didn't say it for a while.
Zheng Jiarou didn't force him, nor did she show a lost or sad look in front of him. Instead, she smiled, patted his hand gently, turned around and walked up the stone steps.
Looking at her thin back, Li Xi swallowed slightly, and blurted out: "Mother!"
Zheng Jiarou's body trembled, and she responded softly but crisply: "Hey."
The door of Cui's house was closed, and Zheng Jiarou's figure disappeared behind the door together with her gentle smile.
Li Xi jumped up excitedly.
Just jumping and jumping, circling in front of Cui's house.
"I have a mother! I have a mother!"
"My mother is a fairy sister! The number one beauty in Chang'an!"
Behind the door, Zheng Jiarou burst into tears.
Under the moonlight, the corners of Wei Yu's lips raised slightly.
All their lives? All their hard work, hard work and even calculations were all to make him so happy.
***
"Shocking masterpiece" scattered among the people.
The whole people eat melons.
"Oh, so it turned out that the late emperor dreamed that his ancestors entrusted him with a dream, saying that the country would be in chaos. In order to preserve a trace of the royal blood, he secretly sent the Lord of Changning out!"
"Isn't that right? Lord Changning and the sage kowtowed to the heaven and earth when the first emperor was ill. They are a serious couple. King Xiaofu was also conceived at that time."
"Yes, yes, I saw this too. What did you say later? Why did the ancestors of the Li family say 'the country will be in chaos'?"
Someone lowered his voice: "Prince Li, the siege of Taiji Palace not only took the life of the first emperor, but also killed two princes, and even the female relatives and children in the prince's mansion!"
"Trash! Stinks!"
"Don't talk about him, I'm too lazy to listen, and I have to wash my ears - talk about the saint and Changning County Lord, what's going on?"
"It's just about the dream, sir? The emperor must have known that Prince Li would do things at that time. In order to prevent him from killing all his brothers, this is why Changning Junjun pretended to marry Cui's family and gave birth to his son. King Fu, raise him until he is 16!"
"Then why did King Fu go to Prince Ding's Mansion again?"
"Oh, what a mistake! It's all Prince Li's fault!"
"Didn't the sage fight the Turks in northern Xinjiang at that time? Prince Li sent people to Cui's house and almost killed King Fu. Fortunately, there was a kind-hearted old steward who quietly sent King Fu to Dingwang's mansion."
"It was just in time for Princess Ding to give birth. The baby was originally a girl. In order to protect King Fu, I called it a son."
"What happened to the girl doll?"
"Didn't the county head be sealed just a few days ago!"
"That's not right, Prince Li has been dead for 16 years, why did the truth come to light now?"
"Because of a dream! The ancestors of the Li family said that the king must wait until he is 16 years old to announce it to the world, otherwise he will not be able to support him."
"It's a pity that King Ding, who already has injuries on his body, still has to stand up and quell the rebels, otherwise he wouldn't... Sigh!"
"King Ding is a true hero!"
"The people will miss him forever!"
"Prince Li's party is really nothing!"
"An enemy of the people!"
"Speaking of this, do you remember that Princess Jinyang, who went to Luoyang Palace to recuperate a few days ago, is part of Prince Li's party..."
Everyone lowered their voices, while scolding Princess Jinyang, while praising the saint for his kindness.
On the other side, Wei Yu found out who was behind the scenes.
It was Princess Jinyang.
Princess Jinyang has a "Black Bat Guard", which was trained from the year the sage succeeded to the throne. There are more than a hundred people in total, all of whom are women, and they specialize in intelligence and assassination.
These people usually mixed in the crowd, they might be kabukis, maidservants, or even the concubines of officials and eunuchs, making it difficult to guard against.
Li Xi was stunned, "Then why didn't she just kill me? Why did she put up pictorials around the bush?"
Wei Yu sighed softly: "Although the princess is stubborn, selfish, and powerful, she still has a bottom line. She just wants to help the second prince to the throne and revitalize the Chai clan, so as not to harm the blood of the royal family."
"Then let her dreams be shattered!" Li Xi clenched her fists.
Wei Yu pursed his lips, "Here."
Now that King Xiao Fu had spoken, he took the initiative to take over the matter.
What does Princess Jinyang care about?
One is power, and the other is family.
Wei Shaoqing went straight to the point, found Chai Yang, explained his pros and cons, and forced him to make a choice.
Although Chai Yang has ambitions, he is not greedy for profit, and even slightly soft-hearted, especially when dealing with his family.Even if he disapproved of Jinyang Dachang Princess' actions, he would not be able to take refuge in the saint and deal with Dachang Princess.
Therefore, Wei Yu specially called Chai Lanlan.
Seeing Chai Yang's hesitation, Chai Lanlan became anxious, "What else is there to think about? Did brother Yu ask you to harm grandma? It was clearly to save her! Let her continue to torment, and our entire Chai Everyone has to finish playing!"
She paused, then said again: "Have you forgotten how grandpa and uncle died? Do you want to end up like that too? And me... You want me to be sent to the palace by my grandmother to marry me A saint, or a second cousin?"
There was a trace of pain in Chai Yang's eyes.
No, he doesn't want to.
Wei Yu added firewood at the right time, "Brother Shen only needs to get the Black Bat Order, and the Eldest Princess can still recuperate in the palace safely."
"If you don't dare to go, I'll go!" Chai Lanlan hated iron but steel.
"I'll go." Chai Yang made a decision.
Once I made up my mind, I became extremely decisive and sober, "I will get the Black Bat Order as soon as possible and hand it over to the saint with my own hands. I also hope that Shuyun will send a message to the saint, don't touch grandma."
Wei Yu nodded.
Before leaving, Chai Yang asked: "Is Shuyun working for the saint right now?"
Wei Yu looked at him and said in a low voice: "The sage is the emperor of great cause, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, not the emperor of subjugation and faintness. As a subject, shouldn't I share the worries of the emperor?"
"Now that the great cause is about to prosper, you and I are so fortunate to be able to make full use of our strengths. Brother Shen, be precious and important."
Chai Yang was startled, but was suddenly awakened by him.
Luoyang Palace.
Chai Yang and Chai Lanlan teamed up to deceive Princess Jinyang's black bat order.
The Black Bat Guard himself doesn't know who the master behind it is, he only recognizes orders but not people, whoever holds this sharp knife belongs to him.
Princess Jinyang only realized it afterwards, lost her temper, shouted to go back to Chang'an, and took back the Black Bat Order with her own hands.
Just as they were making a fuss, Chai Fuma arrived.
"After all these years, you still haven't changed."
"After the drastic changes 16 years ago, I thought you would wake up, but unexpectedly, you became more paranoid."
"Am I for myself? Why do you all blame me? How many years can I live? Isn't it paving the way for Brother Yang and Lan Niang!"
Princess Jinyang was full of hostility, "It's good for them to join forces with outsiders to plot against me! This is your good child!"
Concubine Chai looked at her with misty eyes, as if looking at another person through her, "Ah Shu, do you still remember the first time we met?"
"At that time, you were riding a horse, and I was on the boat. You were dressed in red, with no make-up on, and you laughed wantonly. How bright and free and easy you are?"
"At that time, I was thinking, if I can marry such a woman, I will have nothing to ask for in this life."
He didn't expect that he really begged her.
He also didn't expect that in the next few years, he would gallop side by side with her and fight north and south.
What's more, they didn't expect that they would lose their beloved son because of their stubbornness...
"Ashu, how long has it been since you laughed?"
"Do you miss the past?"
"Do you want to laugh like you did back then?"
A look of emotion flashed across Princess Jinyang's face, and she said, "Losers are not qualified to laugh. I will laugh for you when the Chai clan becomes the No. [-] family of Daye."
"What's the use of this? What about the First Family?"
"This is my son's wish! They risked their lives for this!" The eldest princess of Jinyang roared in a low voice, as if the old scars were torn apart in an instant, and the pain pierced to the bone.
Princess Jinyang trembled, gritted her teeth and said: "What Dalang and Erlang failed to do, I, a mother, will do it for them. I will never let my son die in vain!"
Chai Consort got up slowly, and said calmly: "You don't need to do anything, otherwise, Chang'an, Luoyang, Anxi, Kunling, yes, and Songmo Dufu, the list of hidden stakes in these places will appear the next day On the saint's desk."
"you--"
"You are threatening me?!"
"Yes." Chai Fuma resolutely.
"Why did you do this? Have you forgotten how your son died?"
"They were killed by their own ambitions! Knowing that Prince Li is benevolent, but still protecting him, knowing that he is going to force the palace to kill the king, but not turning back, they deserve to die!"
Chai Fuma almost roared when he said these words.Rather than reminding Princess Jinyang, it is better to persuade myself.
Princess Jinyang looked at him with pain and shock intertwined on her face.
Chai Yang and Chai Lanlan didn't understand her, but she could still comfort herself. Chai Concubine didn't understand her, and even threatened her, which was even more unacceptable to her than when she heard the bad news back then.
Is she dreaming?
This is a nightmare, right?
A nightmare of betrayal.
Concubine Chai supported her, and spoke softly, "As long as you don't bother, as long as the children are safe, I will rot that list in my stomach."
"Get out, get out! I don't want to see you!" Princess Jinyang shook off his hand and staggered to the ground.
After all, Consort Chai felt distressed, and said in a gentle voice: "Jinyang, don't be afraid, when all the dust settles, I will come to the palace to accompany you."
Come to think of it, it won't be long.
……
Chai Yang presented the Black Bat Order to the sage without hesitation, as well as a list.
The sage didn't open it, and locked it in Duobaoge in front of Chai Yang.He didn't make any promises, but Chai Yang's heart was completely relieved.
Zheng Jiarou and Cui Yuan reconciled and left.
Despite the strong opposition from the Cui and Zheng families, Zheng Jiarou simply moved back to the Zheng family.
Except for things related to Li Hong, the rest of the dowry was left to Cui Lanxin.
According to the "Law of the Great Industry", Cui Yuan gave her enough money to spend for three years, and Zheng Jiarou accepted it.
This incident caused a lot of trouble, and the common people applauded, just waiting for the sage to take Zheng Jiarou into the palace!
Only when the hero and heroine get married and give birth to a baby, can this "shocking masterpiece" be HEALTHY!
But it is difficult.
The Zheng family does not allow marriage, and the Zongzheng Temple does not allow marriage.
Ancestors? Dreams, first? Emperor's last wishes, etc. can deceive simple and kind people, but they can't deceive those old foxes from powerful families.
The thing? It froze at this step.
There was a lot of noise in the courtroom every day, and the students talked a lot.
Others said that Zheng's Confucianism claimed that if Zheng Jiarou married into the royal family, he would jump to the Qujiang River and personally confess to the ancestors.
Li Hongtian went up to the court full of confidence, and rushed out with a dark face.
Li Xi secretly scolded him for his incompetence.
He missed his mother, and wanted to see how her mother was doing in the Zheng family.
These days, Zheng Jiarou sent people to bring him snacks, clothes, and small ornaments every day, as if to make up for the care and love that he had missed all these years.
Li Xi has silently called "Mother" countless times in her heart.
He pulled Wei Yu and quietly climbed up the wall of Zheng's house, "I asked Fig to inquire about it a long time ago. My mother lives in this yard, and it's clearest from here—ah!"
The legs were not long enough and almost fell off.
Fortunately, Wei Shaoqing supported Xiaorou's butt in time.
Li Xi chuckled, took his hand and pushed it against the wall.
I just saw Zheng Jiarou.
She was receiving a woman who looked like a sister-in-law or sister-in-law. The two of them didn't enter the house, but sat in the gazebo.
This is closer to the wall, Li Xi pricked up his ears, and could vaguely hear their conversation.
First? After exchanging a few hypocritical greetings, the woman changed her voice and said, "Before I came, I went to see my aunt. She is over sixty years old, but she cried like a tearful person."
Zheng Jiarou put down the teacup and listened to her.
These days, I'm used to it.
"Ah Rou, you are the eldest daughter of the first wife. You have been sensible and courteous since you were a child. Why are you so tossing about at this age? Could it be that you really want to destroy the century-old family motto of our Zheng family? Or, you Want to watch the Patriarch jump into the river?"
Zheng Jiarou said calmly: "I understand what sister-in-law means."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, "Now that you understand, don't procrastinate any longer. You won't be able to enter this palace. It's better to go to Baiyun Temple to lead your hair? Practice? It's better than being expelled from the house and living without a fixed place, right? "
"Cultivate your ball!"
"Why don't you practice?"
"Believe it or not, I asked your whole family to practice!"
Li Xi jumped off the wall angrily, and shielded Zheng Jiarou behind her.
The woman was startled, "You, you..."
"I'm King Fu, the prince, and the only son of Lord Changning. I'm half a relative with the Zheng family. When we meet for the first time, we don't need to give a big gift."
The woman didn't fall up in one breath, she just rolled her eyes, "Ah Rou, he, he is so unreasonable, are you just watching?"
Zheng Jiarou stabbed neither softly nor hard: "Fu Wang's status is precious, how can I control a nun who is about to lead hair training?"
Li Xi's eyes lit up, yes, my mother is awesome!
He asked Wei Yu to stay in Zheng's house to protect Zheng Jiarou, and rushed into the palace by himself, went straight to the Tai Chi Hall, and stretched out his hand to call the saint Yuxi.
Li Hong was not surprised at all, "What are you going to do again? Did you quarrel with King Anyang, or was he scolded by Uncle Weinan Wang? Are you going to remove their officials and demote them to Anxi?"
"No, although I really want to do this - this time there is a big event, I will ask, do you want to marry my mother?"
Li Hongyu paused, "Is this something I can do if I think about it?"
"That's your stupidity!" Li Xi snorted, "Give me Yuxi, and I'll give you a queen."
"If you want to be beaten, just say it." Li Hong angrily threw the booklet on the table.
The memorials next to it were scattered, revealing the jade seal underneath.
Li Xi quickly grabbed it, found a blank piece of paper, covered it, picked up the pen, and scribbled a few sentences. Then, under Li Hong's shocked gaze, he rushed out of the Tai Chi Hall.
A quarter of an hour later.
The gate of Zheng's family was kicked open by King Xiaofu, and military officers above the sixteen guards of the imperial city came and cleared the way for him in person.
The Zheng family rushed out ferociously, and retreated cowardly one by one.
Li Xi rode a horse and rushed all the way to the atrium, holding up the imperial decree and shouting: "Fu Wang Li Xi, on behalf of the saint, begs to marry the Lord of Changning County!"
"Mother, do you agree to marry?"
With tears in her eyes, Zheng Jiarou smiled, gentle and determined.
"I promise."
Cui Yuan rounded things up wittily: "What Wei Shaoqing said is true. Back then, I was entrusted by the late emperor to pretend to be a husband and wife with Changning Junjun, in order to keep her grandson, who is now the King of Fortune. The reason is, I have made it clear to Chen Fu Yin."
Jing Zhaoyin and Chen Anzhi?: "..."
Have you made it clear?
Li Hong hugged Zheng Jiarou and gave the final blow: "You are all people of great cause and my people. Although this matter is my family matter, it is related to the reserve position and the fate of the country. Soon, I will announce it to the world ,Clarify the past, give me an explanation!"
The people who eat melons are suddenly excited.
Did you hear that, the sage said he would give us an explanation!
It turns out that in the heart of a sage, an ordinary person is so important!
Looking at Li Xi again, his eyes suddenly changed - what kind of adultery?What little bastard?nonexistent!
The family left Jingzhao Mansion under the respectful and excited eyes of the common people.
Wei Yu didn't know when he called the carriage. Anyway, when everyone was about to leave, Li Xi's new car, which was modeled after Ashina Duoduo's "chartered cart", had already parked at the bottom of the steps.
Li Hong personally sent Zheng Jiarou to the car.
Li Xi wanted to rob him, but failed.
Li Hong's complexion was not very good, Li Xi wisely did not provoke him.
As soon as he entered the Tai Chi Hall, Li Hong became angry, "Wei Yu, you are so courageous!"
Wei Yu bowed his head and did not defend himself.
Li Xi was not happy, "The saint is so heartless, if it weren't for Brother Shu Yun, your reputation would be rotten, not only ungrateful, but also scolding him... It's really weirder as you get older."
What old age!
I am not old at all!
Li Hong sneered, "Ask him, is it for me or his selfishness!"
"Brother Shuyun, what bad intentions can you have!" Li Xi bared her small white teeth, and said without humility, "Even if there is such a small amount of selfishness, it must be for me."
Wei Yu smiled.
With Li Xi's words, all of this is worth it.
Li Hong was right, he just had selfish motives.
In the final analysis, this story was made up for Li Xi.

As long as Zheng Jiarou becomes an upright imperial concubine, Li Xi will be an upright prince.
Going one step further, if Zheng Jiarou was granted the title, Li Xi would be the only legitimate son of the Daye dynasty, who else would be the crown prince?
The point of Li Hongsheng's anger is not that Wei Yu calculated himself, but that——
"You are using Changning Junjun, using me! Have you asked her if she is willing? Have you asked me if she is willing?"
"Of course, I'm willing...I'm afraid you won't." This was said to Zheng Jiarou, and her expression and tone were different.
Zheng Jiarou looked haggard, her expression was still gentle and peaceful, "Calm down, don't hurt yourself, and don't... frighten the child."
Li Hong glanced at Li Xi, was he the only one?
If he can be frightened, I will give him two golden mountains!
"I'm so scared! The saint is going to whip me again!" Li Xi jumped up behind Wei Yu, winking.
The corner of Li Hong's mouth twitched, and he quickly explained: "Don't listen to him, I don't usually do this, today is..."
Too worried.

The Queen Mother let out a sigh of relief.

It was getting late, Cui Yuan had to leave the palace.
Zheng Jiarou also wants to go back.

Zheng Jiarou tried her best to restrain herself, she didn't shed tears in front of Li Xi, she just calmed down and mustered up her courage, saying:
"Call again, okay?"
Can't say why, Li Xi's mood? It's a bit complicated, and he didn't say it for a while.
Zheng Jiarou didn't force him, nor did she show a lost or sad look in front of him. Instead, she smiled, patted his hand gently, turned around and walked up the stone steps.
Looking at her thin back, Li Xi swallowed slightly, and blurted out: "Mother!"
Zheng Jiarou's body trembled, and she responded softly but crisply: "Hey."
The door of Cui's house was closed, and Zheng Jiarou's figure disappeared behind the door together with her gentle smile.
Li Xi jumped up excitedly.
Just jumping and jumping, circling in front of Cui's house.
"I have a mother! I have a mother!"
"My mother is a fairy sister! The number one beauty in Chang'an!"
Behind the door, Zheng Jiarou burst into tears.
Under the moonlight, the corners of Wei Yu's lips raised slightly.
All their lives? All their hard work, hard work and even calculations were all to make him so happy.
***
"Shocking masterpiece" scattered among the people.
The whole people eat melons.
"Oh, so it turned out that the late emperor dreamed that his ancestors entrusted him with a dream, saying that the country would be in chaos. In order to preserve a trace of the royal blood, he secretly sent the Lord of Changning out!"
"Isn't that right? Lord Changning and the sage kowtowed to the heaven and earth when the first emperor was ill. They are a serious couple. King Xiaofu was also conceived at that time."
"Yes, yes, I saw this too. What did you say later? Why did the ancestors of the Li family say 'the country will be in chaos'?"
Someone lowered his voice: "Prince Li, the siege of Taiji Palace not only took the life of the first emperor, but also killed two princes, and even the female relatives and children in the prince's mansion!"
"Trash! Stinks!"
"Don't talk about him, I'm too lazy to listen, and I have to wash my ears - talk about the saint and Changning County Lord, what's going on?"
"It's just about the dream, sir? The emperor must have known that Prince Li would do things at that time. In order to prevent him from killing all his brothers, this is why Changning Junjun pretended to marry Cui's family and gave birth to his son. King Fu, raise him until he is 16!"
"Then why did King Fu go to Prince Ding's Mansion again?"
"Oh, what a mistake! It's all Prince Li's fault!"
"Didn't the sage fight the Turks in northern Xinjiang at that time? Prince Li sent people to Cui's house and almost killed King Fu. Fortunately, there was a kind-hearted old steward who quietly sent King Fu to Dingwang's mansion."
"It was just in time for Princess Ding to give birth. The baby was originally a girl. In order to protect King Fu, I called it a son."
"What happened to the girl doll?"
"Didn't the county head be sealed just a few days ago!"
"That's not right, Prince Li has been dead for 16 years, why did the truth come to light now?"
"Because of a dream! The ancestors of the Li family said that the king must wait until he is 16 years old to announce it to the world, otherwise he will not be able to support him."
"It's a pity that King Ding, who already has injuries on his body, still has to stand up and quell the rebels, otherwise he wouldn't... Sigh!"
"King Ding is a true hero!"
"The people will miss him forever!"
"Prince Li's party is really nothing!"
"An enemy of the people!"
"Speaking of this, do you remember that Princess Jinyang, who went to Luoyang Palace to recuperate a few days ago, is part of Prince Li's party..."
Everyone lowered their voices, while scolding Princess Jinyang, while praising the saint for his kindness.
On the other side, Wei Yu found out who was behind the scenes.
It was Princess Jinyang.
Princess Jinyang has a "Black Bat Guard", which was trained from the year the sage succeeded to the throne. There are more than a hundred people in total, all of whom are women, and they specialize in intelligence and assassination.
These people usually mixed in the crowd, they might be kabukis, maidservants, or even the concubines of officials and eunuchs, making it difficult to guard against.
Li Xi was stunned, "Then why didn't she just kill me? Why did she put up pictorials around the bush?"
Wei Yu sighed softly: "Although the princess is stubborn, selfish, and powerful, she still has a bottom line. She just wants to help the second prince to the throne and revitalize the Chai clan, so as not to harm the blood of the royal family."
"Then let her dreams be shattered!" Li Xi clenched her fists.
Wei Yu pursed his lips, "Here."
Now that King Xiao Fu had spoken, he took the initiative to take over the matter.
What does Princess Jinyang care about?
One is power, and the other is family.
Wei Shaoqing went straight to the point, found Chai Yang, explained his pros and cons, and forced him to make a choice.
Although Chai Yang has ambitions, he is not greedy for profit, and even slightly soft-hearted, especially when dealing with his family.Even if he disapproved of Jinyang Dachang Princess' actions, he would not be able to take refuge in the saint and deal with Dachang Princess.
Therefore, Wei Yu specially called Chai Lanlan.
Seeing Chai Yang's hesitation, Chai Lanlan became anxious, "What else is there to think about? Did brother Yu ask you to harm grandma? It was clearly to save her! Let her continue to torment, and our entire Chai Everyone has to finish playing!"
She paused, then said again: "Have you forgotten how grandpa and uncle died? Do you want to end up like that too? And me... You want me to be sent to the palace by my grandmother to marry me A saint, or a second cousin?"
There was a trace of pain in Chai Yang's eyes.
No, he doesn't want to.
Wei Yu added firewood at the right time, "Brother Shen only needs to get the Black Bat Order, and the Eldest Princess can still recuperate in the palace safely."
"If you don't dare to go, I'll go!" Chai Lanlan hated iron but steel.
"I'll go." Chai Yang made a decision.
Once I made up my mind, I became extremely decisive and sober, "I will get the Black Bat Order as soon as possible and hand it over to the saint with my own hands. I also hope that Shuyun will send a message to the saint, don't touch grandma."
Wei Yu nodded.
Before leaving, Chai Yang asked: "Is Shuyun working for the saint right now?"
Wei Yu looked at him and said in a low voice: "The sage is the emperor of great cause, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, not the emperor of subjugation and faintness. As a subject, shouldn't I share the worries of the emperor?"
"Now that the great cause is about to prosper, you and I are so fortunate to be able to make full use of our strengths. Brother Shen, be precious and important."
Chai Yang was startled, but was suddenly awakened by him.
Luoyang Palace.
Chai Yang and Chai Lanlan teamed up to deceive Princess Jinyang's black bat order.
The Black Bat Guard himself doesn't know who the master behind it is, he only recognizes orders but not people, whoever holds this sharp knife belongs to him.
Princess Jinyang only realized it afterwards, lost her temper, shouted to go back to Chang'an, and took back the Black Bat Order with her own hands.
Just as they were making a fuss, Chai Fuma arrived.
"After all these years, you still haven't changed."
"After the drastic changes 16 years ago, I thought you would wake up, but unexpectedly, you became more paranoid."
"Am I for myself? Why do you all blame me? How many years can I live? Isn't it paving the way for Brother Yang and Lan Niang!"
Princess Jinyang was full of hostility, "It's good for them to join forces with outsiders to plot against me! This is your good child!"
Concubine Chai looked at her with misty eyes, as if looking at another person through her, "Ah Shu, do you still remember the first time we met?"
"At that time, you were riding a horse, and I was on the boat. You were dressed in red, with no make-up on, and you laughed wantonly. How bright and free and easy you are?"
"At that time, I was thinking, if I can marry such a woman, I will have nothing to ask for in this life."
He didn't expect that he really begged her.
He also didn't expect that in the next few years, he would gallop side by side with her and fight north and south.
What's more, they didn't expect that they would lose their beloved son because of their stubbornness...
"Ashu, how long has it been since you laughed?"
"Do you miss the past?"
"Do you want to laugh like you did back then?"
A look of emotion flashed across Princess Jinyang's face, and she said, "Losers are not qualified to laugh. I will laugh for you when the Chai clan becomes the No. [-] family of Daye."
"What's the use of this? What about the First Family?"
"This is my son's wish! They risked their lives for this!" The eldest princess of Jinyang roared in a low voice, as if the old scars were torn apart in an instant, and the pain pierced to the bone.
Princess Jinyang trembled, gritted her teeth and said: "What Dalang and Erlang failed to do, I, a mother, will do it for them. I will never let my son die in vain!"
Chai Consort got up slowly, and said calmly: "You don't need to do anything, otherwise, Chang'an, Luoyang, Anxi, Kunling, yes, and Songmo Dufu, the list of hidden stakes in these places will appear the next day On the saint's desk."
"you--"
"You are threatening me?!"
"Yes." Chai Fuma resolutely.
"Why did you do this? Have you forgotten how your son died?"
"They were killed by their own ambitions! Knowing that Prince Li is benevolent, but still protecting him, knowing that he is going to force the palace to kill the king, but not turning back, they deserve to die!"
Chai Fuma almost roared when he said these words.Rather than reminding Princess Jinyang, it is better to persuade myself.
Princess Jinyang looked at him with pain and shock intertwined on her face.
Chai Yang and Chai Lanlan didn't understand her, but she could still comfort herself. Chai Concubine didn't understand her, and even threatened her, which was even more unacceptable to her than when she heard the bad news back then.
Is she dreaming?
This is a nightmare, right?
A nightmare of betrayal.
Concubine Chai supported her, and spoke softly, "As long as you don't bother, as long as the children are safe, I will rot that list in my stomach."
"Get out, get out! I don't want to see you!" Princess Jinyang shook off his hand and staggered to the ground.
After all, Consort Chai felt distressed, and said in a gentle voice: "Jinyang, don't be afraid, when all the dust settles, I will come to the palace to accompany you."
Come to think of it, it won't be long.
……
Chai Yang presented the Black Bat Order to the sage without hesitation, as well as a list.
The sage didn't open it, and locked it in Duobaoge in front of Chai Yang.He didn't make any promises, but Chai Yang's heart was completely relieved.
Zheng Jiarou and Cui Yuan reconciled and left.
Despite the strong opposition from the Cui and Zheng families, Zheng Jiarou simply moved back to the Zheng family.
Except for things related to Li Hong, the rest of the dowry was left to Cui Lanxin.
According to the "Law of the Great Industry", Cui Yuan gave her enough money to spend for three years, and Zheng Jiarou accepted it.
This incident caused a lot of trouble, and the common people applauded, just waiting for the sage to take Zheng Jiarou into the palace!
Only when the hero and heroine get married and give birth to a baby, can this "shocking masterpiece" be HEALTHY!
But it is difficult.
The Zheng family does not allow marriage, and the Zongzheng Temple does not allow marriage.
Ancestors? Dreams, first? Emperor's last wishes, etc. can deceive simple and kind people, but they can't deceive those old foxes from powerful families.
The thing? It froze at this step.
There was a lot of noise in the courtroom every day, and the students talked a lot.
Others said that Zheng's Confucianism claimed that if Zheng Jiarou married into the royal family, he would jump to the Qujiang River and personally confess to the ancestors.
Li Hongtian went up to the court full of confidence, and rushed out with a dark face.
Li Xi secretly scolded him for his incompetence.
He missed his mother, and wanted to see how her mother was doing in the Zheng family.
These days, Zheng Jiarou sent people to bring him snacks, clothes, and small ornaments every day, as if to make up for the care and love that he had missed all these years.
Li Xi has silently called "Mother" countless times in her heart.
He pulled Wei Yu and quietly climbed up the wall of Zheng's house, "I asked Fig to inquire about it a long time ago. My mother lives in this yard, and it's clearest from here—ah!"
The legs were not long enough and almost fell off.
Fortunately, Wei Shaoqing supported Xiaorou's butt in time.
Li Xi chuckled, took his hand and pushed it against the wall.
I just saw Zheng Jiarou.
She was receiving a woman who looked like a sister-in-law or sister-in-law. The two of them didn't enter the house, but sat in the gazebo.
This is closer to the wall, Li Xi pricked up his ears, and could vaguely hear their conversation.
First? After exchanging a few hypocritical greetings, the woman changed her voice and said, "Before I came, I went to see my aunt. She is over sixty years old, but she cried like a tearful person."
Zheng Jiarou put down the teacup and listened to her.
These days, I'm used to it.
"Ah Rou, you are the eldest daughter of the first wife. You have been sensible and courteous since you were a child. Why are you so tossing about at this age? Could it be that you really want to destroy the century-old family motto of our Zheng family? Or, you Want to watch the Patriarch jump into the river?"
Zheng Jiarou said calmly: "I understand what sister-in-law means."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, "Now that you understand, don't procrastinate any longer. You won't be able to enter this palace. It's better to go to Baiyun Temple to lead your hair? Practice? It's better than being expelled from the house and living without a fixed place, right? "
"Cultivate your ball!"
"Why don't you practice?"
"Believe it or not, I asked your whole family to practice!"
Li Xi jumped off the wall angrily, and shielded Zheng Jiarou behind her.
The woman was startled, "You, you..."
"I'm King Fu, the prince, and the only son of Lord Changning. I'm half a relative with the Zheng family. When we meet for the first time, we don't need to give a big gift."
The woman didn't fall up in one breath, she just rolled her eyes, "Ah Rou, he, he is so unreasonable, are you just watching?"
Zheng Jiarou stabbed neither softly nor hard: "Fu Wang's status is precious, how can I control a nun who is about to lead hair training?"
Li Xi's eyes lit up, yes, my mother is awesome!
He asked Wei Yu to stay in Zheng's house to protect Zheng Jiarou, and rushed into the palace by himself, went straight to the Tai Chi Hall, and stretched out his hand to call the saint Yuxi.
Li Hong was not surprised at all, "What are you going to do again? Did you quarrel with King Anyang, or was he scolded by Uncle Weinan Wang? Are you going to remove their officials and demote them to Anxi?"
"No, although I really want to do this - this time there is a big event, I will ask, do you want to marry my mother?"
Li Hongyu paused, "Is this something I can do if I think about it?"
"That's your stupidity!" Li Xi snorted, "Give me Yuxi, and I'll give you a queen."
"If you want to be beaten, just say it." Li Hong angrily threw the booklet on the table.
The memorials next to it were scattered, revealing the jade seal underneath.
Li Xi quickly grabbed it, found a blank piece of paper, covered it, picked up the pen, and scribbled a few sentences. Then, under Li Hong's shocked gaze, he rushed out of the Tai Chi Hall.
A quarter of an hour later.
The gate of Zheng's family was kicked open by King Xiaofu, and military officers above the sixteen guards of the imperial city came and cleared the way for him in person.
The Zheng family rushed out ferociously, and retreated cowardly one by one.
Li Xi rode a horse and rushed all the way to the atrium, holding up the imperial decree and shouting: "Fu Wang Li Xi, on behalf of the saint, begs to marry the Lord of Changning County!"
"Mother, do you agree to marry?"
With tears in her eyes, Zheng Jiarou smiled, gentle and determined.
"I promise."
