Chapter 280

Wending Marquis Mansion, the main hall.

Emperor Ming Xi frowned, with scrutiny in his eyes, and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Dugu Ziyan hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, I met my wife in Yunzhou when the Yunbai River in Yunzhou broke the embankment."

Emperor Mingxi asked suspiciously: "Yunzhou? Is she from Yunzhou?"

Duguzi replied: "Your Majesty, no. My wife is a doctor, and she also went to Yunzhou to assist in disaster relief."

Emperor Mingxi asked suspiciously: "Oh, she also went to assist in disaster relief. At that time, there were many people from all walks of life in Yunzhou. Which family did she belong to?"

Duguzi replied: "Your Majesty, my wife is the Mo family, the righteous daughter of the second master of the Mo family, and the righteous sister of the eleventh prince."

"What!" Emperor Ming Xi instantly showed astonishment, and unconsciously there was anger in his eyes: "Uncle Eleven!"

His voice turned cold, and he said, "Ziyan, why are you hiding such a big matter?"

Then he said: "Since she is a member of the Mohist family and the sister-in-law of the eleventh emperor's uncle, with a noble status, how can she act so hastily?"

"Wendinghou, as an elder, how can you let the younger generation mess around like this! If you don't know, you think I, Tian Qichao, don't understand the rules!"

Dugu Che hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the situation was special at that time, and the children were all filial, so I really couldn't say anything. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Dugu Ziyan continued: "That's right. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"The minister and his wife met in Yunzhou, and Ziyan planned to come to propose marriage after the Yunzhou incident was over."

"Unexpectedly, before the Yunzhou incident was over, my wife received a letter from the Mo family, saying that her father was suddenly seriously ill."

"Ziyan accompanied his wife back to the Mo family. At that time, the father-in-law was dying of illness. The only wish of the old man is to watch his daughter get married."

"At that time, in order to fulfill the old man's wish, Ziyan quickly sent a letter and asked his father's opinion. The father thought of his wife's filial piety, so he agreed, and sent the Geng Tie."

"In the end, Ziyan and his wife got married under the witness of the old lady of the Mo family and the old father-in-law."

There was anger in Emperor Mingxi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the elders of both parties agree, we have also paid homage. Why hasn't it been reported yet?"

"Ziyan, you are the eldest son of the Founding Marquis Mansion, and you will inherit the position of Marquis Wen Ding in the future. How can your wife not report to the court?"

Dugu Ziyan bowed and replied: "Please forgive me. After the matter of Yunzhou was over, Ziyan wanted to return to the imperial capital, so he reported it to the imperial court and gave the gift that should be made up to his wife. After all, the wedding ceremony is too simple , really wronged her."

"Ke Ziyan just rushed back to the imperial capital, and met his sister who was suddenly critically ill and eventually died of illness. My father was also sad and depressed because of this, exhausted both physically and mentally."

"My wife understands my father. It's really uncomfortable for a white-haired man to send a black-haired man. At that time, it is really inappropriate to report to the court and make up for the wedding. So I said, I will make up for this ceremony later."

"After discussing with his wife, Ziyan also felt that it was better. He decided to wait until the new year is over. The new year is more festive, and it would be better to make up the gift at that time."

"This matter failed to be reported to the imperial court in time. There is indeed something wrong with Ziyan. But it is also a special situation. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Dugu Che hastily answered: "Yes, Your Majesty, the two children are filial, they are concerned about their parents-in-law, and they are also concerned about this humble minister. I hope the Emperor will forgive their sins."

Emperor Ming Xi listened silently, displeased, but said for a moment: "Forget it, the matter of Concubine Xian also happened suddenly. Let's forget about it, and remember to make up the memorandum when the time comes."

Dugu Ziyan hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely make up the memorial as soon as possible."

Emperor Mingxi said again: "Ziyan, since we are married, let your wife call out to meet me."

Dugu Che hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, quickly call your daughter-in-law and come out to meet the emperor."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Dugu Ziyan bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, my wife is pregnant now, and she is quite lethargic."

"When I just came back, I heard from the housekeeper that my wife is resting. I will call someone right away, please wait a moment, the emperor."

"Well, let's go." Emperor Ming Xi nodded.

At the same time, Feiyu Pavilion in Wending Hou Mansion.

In front of the vanity mirror, Qiaoer was combing Qingluan's hair in a bun.

Qingluan urged anxiously: "Qiaoer, are you alright? You should hurry up!"

Qiao'er hurriedly replied: "Miss Qingluan, don't worry, you'll be fine soon."

Qingluan continued: "Understood, hurry up, Duguziyan's side should be almost there."

Dugu Yan, who was sitting on the imperial concubine chair at the side, was already full-bellied.Looking at Qingluan, he said worriedly: "Qingluan, can you handle Murongxuan?"

Qingluan frowned, and said: "What are you doing, Dugu Yan, I haven't entered the battle yet, so you can't wait for me to order?"

Dugu Yan looked troubled, and said worriedly: "No, it's just that Murong Xuan's mind is unpredictable, and I'm worried that you will suffer."

Hearing this, Qingluan smiled instantly: "Oh, so you are also worried about me."

Dugu Yan said awkwardly: "Qingluan, after all, you did this for the sake of me and the child. Naturally, I would be worried."

Qingluan was overjoyed, and said: "Don't worry, Murongxuan's mind is unpredictable, and I, Qingluan, don't look into his eyes. Besides, your brother is here."

"Ah!" Qiao'er exclaimed instantly: "Miss Qingluan, that person is the emperor, don't you take it seriously?"

With a smirk in Qingluan's eyes, she said, "Qiaoer, who is this girl!"

Hearing this, Qiao'er immediately understood, and responded: "Miss Qingluan is right! You, a woman, are the slaves who made a slip of the tongue."

At this moment, Dugu Yan corrected himself: "Qiao Er, don't be rude, I will call you Young Madam from now on."

Hearing this, Qiao'er hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes, Miss. Young Madam, I know I was wrong."

Qingluan smiled: "It's a small matter. Qiaoer, comb your hair quickly, don't delay the matter."

"Yes, Young Madam." Qiao'er quickly picked up the hairpin and continued to make up.

There was satisfaction in Qingluan's eyes, this Duguyan was getting better and better.The older the month of pregnancy, the better the temper!It's different for people who want to be mothers, they have become gentler.

After a while, the bun was combed, Qiaoer asked: "Young Madam, take a look, how is this bun?"

Qingluan looked at herself in the mirror, but she was a little dazed, she even coiled her hair!It's for Dugu Ziyan's hair in a bun.

Looking at the dazed Qingluan, Qiao'er called out again: "Young Madam."

Hearing the sound, Qingluan just came back to her senses, and responded with a smile: "Well, it's not bad, it's very beautiful."

After a while, Dugu Ziyan came to the door of the room: "Qingluan, are you ready?"

With that said, he already walked into the room.

"Hey...it's ready." Qingluan responded, then turned and walked towards Duguziyan.

When he saw it, Dugu Ziyan was stunned for an instant, staring blankly at the woman's bun, with amazement and unconcealable joy in his eyes.

Seeing Duguziyan who was in a daze, Qingluan waved his hand and shouted: "Duguziyan, why are you so dumb!"

Hearing the sound, Dugu Ziyan just came back to his senses, and replied with a smile: "It's all right. Let's go out."

Qingluan responded with a smile: "Well, let's go."
