The emperor was lost in thought.
Zhennan Wangfu has been operating in southern Xinjiang for decades. Although it is still a great wealth, the emperor believes that if he sends a random person, he will never be able to control the military power in southern Xinjiang, and even arouse the jealousy of Zhennan king. If Wang Ruo had his back against him and colluded with Baiyue, he would be in danger.
And there is only one person who can justifiably take the place of King Zhennan to take charge of the southern border - the prince Xiao Yi.
The emperor said slowly, "Xiao Yi?"
Guan Yubai said calmly: "What the emperor said is very true."
The emperor lowered his eyes slightly, and thoughtfully pointed at the imperial case with his index finger. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "But, I am a little worried..."
Guan Yubai smiled lightly and said: "The emperor, are you also worried about King Zhennan? ... I know your doubts, but King Zhennan and Xiao Shizi have been at odds for a long time, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two. Tigers, only by restraining each other can the stability of the southern border be maintained. Now, Shizi Xiao is in the capital, and the king of Zhennan is the only one in the southern border, and the emperor is beyond your reach. This is the most unfavorable thing for Dayu."
"Yubai is right." The emperor nodded thoughtfully, "Maybe it's time for Ayi to return to the southern border..."
The emperor kept Xiao Yi in the capital as a pledge, perhaps initially to make King Zhennan feel jealous, but after a long time he also found that King Zhennan didn't care about this son, so the meaning of the pledge is actually Not much. In comparison, it is more important to let Xiao Yi get close to him and Dayu, so that after inheriting the Zhennan Palace in the future, it is more important not to have a relationship with Dayu.
This purpose has actually been achieved.
Maybe it's time to let Xiao Yi go back...
The emperor said hesitantly: "It's just his concubine..."
Should Nangong Yue stay in the capital, or should she also go back to the southern border?
"Your Majesty. Once Shizi Xiao returns to the Southern Border this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in a year and a half like the last time. Shizi Xiao and his concubine Yu Hao are deeply in love. If the two places are separated, I'm afraid he will also stay in the Southern Border. It won't last long, doesn't this go against your will?"
The emperor was thoughtful.
"Concubine Shi was born in the Nangong family, and her parents and relatives are in the capital. For Shizi Xiao and Concubine Shi, this is a kind of concern." Guan Yubai said lightly, "Take a step back, if Concubine Shi really stays Wangdu, after Prince Xiao returned to the southern border, King Zhennan gave him a side concubine to spread branches and leaves because there was no one around him to serve him. I am afraid you have no reason to stop the emperor. The concubine is probably meaningless in the capital."
yes. The emperor nodded,
Not only that, but the emperor thought more. If Xiao Yi really took the concubine directly after he went back, if he had a child, after a long time, no matter how deep the relationship between husband and wife would be forgotten, he would be a wicked person in vain.
But now, the Nangong family is in the capital, even if Nangong Yue goes back with Xiao Yi, this kinship cannot be given up casually. On the contrary, with Nangong Yue there, the Nangong family will become Xiao Yi's. Worrying, this in itself is a kind of restraint...
To speak too much is a loss, and the official language stands in vain without saying anything more.
The emperor was silent for a long time, waved his hand and let Guan Yubai retreat.
The imperial study became quiet again, and the emperor stayed alone for a long time...
Eunuch Liu, who was standing beside him, was a little worried. After he stopped talking a few times, the emperor finally stood up and said, "Come out with me for a walk."
Eunuch Liu accompanied the emperor out of the imperial study. In fact, the emperor just wanted to relax, and rationally had some disturbed thoughts. He walked aimlessly in the imperial garden, and unknowingly arrived at the upper study.
The third prince was encircled in the mansion, and the fifth prince was taught by a learned person alone, so only the eldest prince, the second prince and some clan children were in the study room. The two princes are already old, and they only need to come to the study every three days.
The emperor watched outside for a while, then walked in with a thought.
Everyone saluted and greeted each other, and the emperor said a few words at random and called the two princes over.
The first prince Han Lingqi and the second prince Han Lingguan stepped forward respectfully and stood with their heads bowed.
"Boss, second child, what do you think about Baiyue's recent affairs?" The emperor looked at the two princes and asked in a deep voice, showing no joy or anger on his face.
Han Lingguan knew that the emperor was testing them, and this was his chance.
Han Lingguan glanced at his brother quickly, and saw that he was sweating profusely, unable to answer at all.
The eldest prince is nothing but an idiot, and he is nothing to be afraid of!
Han Lingguan rationalized his thoughts, took a half step forward, and bowed back: "Go back to the emperor, according to the opinion of the minister, Dayu should support Kui Lang to compete with the new king Nuhar." Seeing the emperor's expression of satisfaction, Han Lingguan continued. Said, "My son thinks that I can show Dayu's closeness to him by pro-Kuilang, and also let the wandering forces in Baiyue understand my Dayu's intentions."
The emperor is indeed testing them.
In his heart, he already liked the fifth prince to be the prince, but the prince would also need the support of a worthy king in the future. The emperor, on a whim, wanted to use the Baiyue incident to test them.
According to Han Lingguan, the former was exactly what the emperor thought, and it was also consistent with Guan Yubai's suggestion, which made the emperor quite satisfied with this son.
It's just a relationship... but the emperor didn't expect it.
"Father." Han Ling observed Yan Guan's expression and continued, "Since I supported Kui Lang in Dayu, then Kui Lang will be the King of Baiyue in the future. My son thinks that we should ensure that the next King of Baiyue has my Dayu. The bloodline, in this way, I can be regarded as the real master of Baiyue."
The emperor nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Second child, who do you think is the best choice for your relatives?"
Han Lingguan lowered his head, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and replied respectfully, "Go back to the father, the eldest girl from Zhennan's palace is in the capital, and my son thinks that she is the best friend."
The emperor thought thoughtfully: "The eldest girl of Zhennan Palace..."
After pondering for a long time, he said, "I need to think about this matter again." Then, he looked at the eldest prince, "Boss, what are your thoughts?"
Han Lingqi was secretly happy that his father did not agree with the second emperor's younger brother's idea, but unexpectedly, he suddenly asked him, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. If you also agree to marry, with the second emperor's younger brother Zhuyu in front, you can't show your ability at all, but if you object... I don't know what the father's opinion is. If the answer is wrong, will it annoy the father?
The more the eldest prince hesitated, the more speechless he became, his face flushed with anxiety.
The emperor naturally took all his entanglements into his eyes and was disappointed. The eldest prince can't even express his own opinion, how can he use it!
On the other hand, the second emperor is indeed a malleable material, and maybe he can help Xiaowu in the future.
The emperor waved them off, got up and walked out of the upper study, thinking about the feasibility of "harmony" in his mind.
Seeing that the emperor did not reprimand him, the eldest prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Han Lingguan, he believed that the emperor would agree to marry, but he would never come to marry at the Zhennan Palace.
In front of his father, he must perform well, but he is at a time when Taoguang is obscure, and if he is too good, he is not beautiful. This slightly flawed advice is just right.
Moreover, once the matter of marriage is publicized, the eldest girl of Zhennan Palace will be eager to settle the marriage, so as to avoid marriage, so...
Han Lingguan almost couldn't wait in his heart.
In the evening of the same day, the Zhennan Palace welcomed an uninvited guest, it was Fu Yunyan.
As soon as he saw Nangong Yue, Fu Yunyan cut to the chase and lowered her voice: "Ayue, I heard some news... it's about Afei."
Seeing Fu Yunyan's anxious face, Nangong Yue didn't dare to be scornful, and hurriedly asked all the maids to step back, and asked cautiously, "Liu Niang, what's the matter?"
Fu Yunyan rationalized her thoughts, frowned and said, "Ayue, don't panic when you hear it. I just heard what my cousin Yu said today. You also know that cousin Yu works in the Lifan Academy. I will listen to it this afternoon. Those Nanman envoys whispered in secret that the eldest girl from Zhennan Palace is about to marry their eldest prince, Kui Lang, and they can still beg for a wedding drink in Dayu..."
Nangong Yue's heart froze, this is no wind and no waves, if there is no reason, those Baiyue envoys may not dare to fabricate it out of thin air.
Did the emperor really mean this?
"Ayue, I don't know if this is true or not. Anyway, you and Fei should be careful." Fu Yunyan said worriedly. With the precedents of Qu Jiayue and pro-Xirong in those days, it always makes people feel a little uneasy.
"Liu Niang, I understand, thank you very much." Nangong Yue nodded, feeling a little confused for a while.
"Then I'll go back first." Fu Yunyan hurriedly stood up and said, "It will be my wedding ceremony in a few days. If I don't go back, my mother will murmur at me again."
Fu Yunyan left in a hurry again, leaving Nangong Yue alone in the outer study to think quietly.
When it was time to hold the lantern, Xiao Yi returned to Fufeng Courtyard, and Nangong Yue immediately told him about Fu Yunyan's visit.
"You said Wen Yu told Liu Niang about this?" Xiao Yi crossed Erlang's legs while sitting or not, very lazy.
Nangong Yue nodded and said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time in the afternoon... Young Master Wen deliberately used Liu Niang's mouth to remind us?"
Wen Yu occasionally heard that the emperor intended to let Xiao Fei marry him. He was a foreigner and it was not convenient for him to come to the door, so he pretended that he had no intention of mentioning Liu Niang to remind them, which can be said to be well-intentioned. But maybe it was Wen Yu who had been too deliberately trying to please Xiao Fei these days, which made Nangong Yue a little preconceived.
Xiao Yi thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "If that girl, Xiao Fei, is really going to be sent to be married, what would you do?"
Nangong Yue said without hesitation, "Stop it."
"Can't stop it?"
"Then we have to quickly decide on a reliable marriage, which is better than marrying Kui Lang..." Nangong Yue's eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Could it be because of this, Young Master Wen?"
Thinking about it carefully, if Xiao Fei is really in danger of getting married, and they are unable to stop it, then it is undoubtedly the safest way to decide on a marriage before the emperor issues an decree. Leaving aside the small doubts in Nangong Yue's heart, the eldest princess Yongyang knows the truth and is the best candidate for marriage.
Is Wen Yu because of this?
Nangong Yue frowned slightly. She only felt that Wen Yu's actions were a little inappropriate. If Wen Yu really mentioned this to them this time, it wasn't because she was doing something wrong, but in the human affairs department. Too calculated.
Xiao Fei's mind is simple, and Nangong Yue is more and more sure that Wen Yu is by no means a good match!
"Stinky girl, in fact, you don't have to worry." Xiao Yi said casually, "No matter who gets married, Xiao Fei will not be able to get her. Xiao Fei is the eldest girl of Zhennan Palace. I will be worried that our Zhennan Palace will one day be connected to Baiyue because of the relationship of marriage. This is definitely not a good thing for the emperor and Dayu."
Xiao Yi was obviously more far-sighted than himself in matters of the court, and Nangong Yue could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as Xiao Fei doesn't get along with her, it's fine!
"Speaking of this Wen Yu... stinky girl, do you remember that Young Master Yi you mentioned last time?"
Nangong Yue nodded.
Xiao Yi touched his chin and said casually, "I ordered someone to investigate later. His name is Yi Jiangxiu. He is a gentleman. He rented a yard in Guo Er Hutong to study. It's just that he hasn't gone back for a few days. It's over..." He almost forgot about this matter, "I asked Xiao Hezi... Grandma Yong Yang sent someone to check carefully before admitting her relatives, and there is no problem with Wen Yu's origin. ."
Nangong Yue nodded when she heard the words, and yes, if it hadn't been checked out clearly, how could a dignified princess' mansion and the eldest Princess Yongyang be such a woman, how could she just recognize her grandson casually.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue sighed slightly and said, "...Young Master Wen may just be too eager for success, maybe he has to find a chance to talk to Grandma Yongyang....I hope I'm thinking too much, as a villain. The heart has saved the belly of a gentleman."
Xiao Yi is not happy!
How could his stinky girl be a villain, and a villain should also be Wen Yu!
Xiao Yi decided that he would continue to investigate, even if the eight generations of Wen Yu's father's ancestors were dug up, he had to prove that his stinky girl was a gentleman!
...
On the twenty-eighth of the second lunar month, the emperor said at the court that he would give Kui Lang a marriage, and would choose the daughter-in-law of a third-rank or higher official in the court as the princess, and marry Kui Lang as the Queen of Baiyue. After that, Princess Yuncheng was summoned into the palace, and hurried back to the palace with an angry face.
The residences of officials above the third rank in the DPRK are in danger.
This marriage is nicely said to be "Queen Baiyue", but firstly, Kuilang had a direct wife and direct son in Baiyue, and secondly, now the new king of Baiyue is Nuhar, and Kuilang himself is Dayu A proton, marrying him, what's the future?
After several days of court discussions, the Marquis of Pingyang proposed that the eldest girl of Zhennan Wangfu and her relatives should put it out. As soon as this statement came out, it was supported by many. On that day, the emperor summoned Marquis Anyi to discuss the matter, but no further news came out.
The court and the opposition couldn't help but speculate about the holy will.
The entire February was spent in chaos, and in a blink of an eye it was March.
On the fifth day of the third lunar month, it was Fu Yunyan's wedding ceremony.
As early as February, Mrs. Fu personally came to her door to invite her to be the compliment of the wedding ceremony.
Generally speaking, the likes are usually the sisters of the people who are close to each other. Fu Yunyan has both sisters and cousins. In this case, Mrs. Fu invited Nangong Yue to show the closeness of the relationship between the two.
In this regard, Nangong Yue naturally readily agreed.
On such an important day for Fu Yunyan and Gai, neither Princess Yongyang nor Madam Fu would neglect it. Early in the morning, when Nangong Yue's Zhu Lun cart arrived in front of the palace of the eldest Princess Yongyang, they found several luxurious Zhu Lun carts and black-painted carriages parked at the door.
Que'er took a look at the window and said, "Princess Shizi, it seems that everyone wanted to go together, and they all came early."
The people who will come to attend Fu Yunyan's wedding ceremony are basically people who are close to each other. It is no wonder that they will come early. In addition, the guests all come with gifts. Princess Mansion, so that the carriage moved more slowly...
It was already a stick of incense by the time Nangong Yue's Zhu Lun Cha entered the Princess Palace.
Grandma Fu personally greeted the guests at the second gate. When Nangong Yue got off the Zhu Lun cart, she saw Grandma Fu was talking to Yun Cheng and Yuan Yuyi and their mother and daughter.
Nangong Yue hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. Today, there were many guests at the Princess Mansion, and Young Master Fu was very busy, so she could only have a few words with them. Soon, Nangong Yue and the others were greeted by a steward and they went to the main hall.
In the main hall, the female family members of the Princess Mansion and some of the ladies and girls who came to watch the ceremony were already sitting there chatting and laughing. Yong Yang was sitting on the chair of the master. She usually dresses concisely, but today she is dressed very grandly, and she is dressed in honey. The golden robes all over the place made her look radiant, as if she was a few years younger.
Fu Yunyan, the attendant of the wedding ceremony, was talking to a lady, and saw that she was wearing a modified fiery red beard dress, and the fitted dress complemented her slender and tall figure. She is a martial arts practitioner, but just standing there casually, she has a spirit that is different from the other girls around her, dazzling like the rising sun.
As soon as Nangong Yue and his party came in, Fu Yunyan's warm eyes immediately turned to them and came to salute.
Others also stepped forward to greet Yuncheng... It took a while for the greeting to end.
Fu Yunyan looked at Yun Cheng, Yuan Yuyi and Nangong Yue generously and smiled: "Auntie, cousin Yi, Ayue, I will trouble you today, I will invite you to drink another day."
When she said the first half of the sentence, Mrs. Fu nodded slightly, thinking that her daughter was sensible, but the second half of the sentence made Mrs. Fu's face black half.
In addition to Nangong Yue who was in charge of the ceremony, the guest of honor today was Princess Yuncheng, and Yousi was Yuan Yuyi. The three of them could be said to be the most important people in this ceremony besides Fu Yunyan. No wonder Fu Yunyan said this.
"Liu Niang," Yun Cheng took Fu Yunyan's hand with a smile and teased, "Bengong is waiting for your wedding wine!"
All the female relatives in the main hall could not help laughing, and the somewhat restrained atmosphere became warm.
After a while, a mama came to remind that the auspicious time had come.
Everyone took their places, Yuan Yuyi held a red sandalwood tray, covered with a red velvet square, and in the center lay a red gold phoenix inlaid with rubies and oriental pearls, and then Nangong Yue assisted. Yun Cheng personally inserted the step into his hair for Fu Yunyan.
In this way, the ceremony is over.
Fu Yunyan tilted her head a little unaccustomedly, only to see that the step was very delicate, the red-eyed golden phoenix held the East Pearl, hanging down the silk bead chain, the phoenix tail was agile and lifelike, when Fu Yunyan moved a little, the golden bead chain fringed. It hangs on her jade-like cheeks, making her look like a daughter's beauty.
Madam Fu watched from the side, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Sometimes I think my daughter is ignorant, but sometimes I think her daughter is growing up too fast... Time flies, even Liu Niang is about to get married!
Next, everyone moved to the seat of the flower hall.
Nangong Yue, Yuan Yuyi and Han Qixia walked hand in hand in the back, both of them were full of smiles, looking at Fu Yunyan who was walking beside Yong Yang in front, she looked like a blooming begonia flower. .
Nangong Yue sighed, "Liu Niang is really radiant today!"
Yuan Yuyi nodded and asked, "Ayue, when is the marriage between Liu Niang and your brother?"
Nangong Yue was stunned. Thinking of her brother's marriage, she smiled from the bottom of her heart and said, "August 22."
Speaking of marriage, Han Qixia on the side showed an obvious sad look on her face.
Nangong Yue discovered it keenly, and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Xia, do you have something on your mind?"
As far as she knew, Princess Qi only cared about her son's marriage, and completely forgot that there was another daughter who was about to be married. The last time she heard Jiang Yixi mention it, she was a little embarrassed.
Han Qixia twitched the corners of her lips, smiling a little reluctantly, and said unintentionally, "I'm just thinking, who would marry the Baiyue Prince.... I heard that most likely they will pick a girl in the imperial family."
Nangong Yue and Yuan Yuyi looked at each other, Han Qixia is the daughter of the royal family, is she afraid that she will be selected?
