After rebirth, I became Little Marquis’s Bai Yueguang

Chapter 14

Xiao Yunyue was very familiar with the route from the South Study Room to the Shence Gate in the south. He had quick legs and feet, so when Princess Jianing arrived, he missed her again.

Guard Xiao Yunyue, who was waiting outside the palace gate, was the one who went down Jiangnan Road with him. From a distance, he saw his master walking fast as if there was a ghost chasing him from behind.

Xiao Yunyue rescued him at Huinanguan Pass in Youzhou because he was about the same age as him and he was a good young man who practiced martial arts.So he simply stayed with him as a guard, and gave him a name, Nanguan.

Nanguan watched Xiao Yunyue mount his horse quickly, and hurriedly turned the horse's head to urge him: "Let's go, go quickly." He looked back at the deep palace city, but didn't find anything, and then rode his horse to follow him. Xiao Yunyue.

The eldest princess's residence in Jinyang is located in Yongxingfang. After today's accession to the throne, the consort Dingyuan Marquis was granted the title of Duke Ding.The emperor gave the palace of Lin Lin Princess Mansion as the Duke's Mansion.

Later, Xiao Yunyue made unparalleled military exploits in the northern border. After the first battle was fought for at least 30 years, Rouran no longer had the ability to invade the northern part of Yan. Because of his merits, he was granted the title of Pingyang Marquis. To Yongxingfang.

At this point, the entire street of Yongxingfang was occupied by the three mansions of their family. The three mansions were also connected to each other, almost equivalent to being merged into one mansion.

After Xiao Yunyue returned home, he first went to the eldest princess. As expected, his mother's house was still waiting for him with the lights on.

Seeing him push open the door and come in, the eldest princess was a little surprised: "Why are you back so early?" Then she asked the female officer next to her to go to the kitchen to bring the warm tonic soup.

Xiao Yunyue sat aside and said, "I told His Majesty that you would wait for me at home. Your Majesty was afraid of keeping you waiting for a long time, so he asked me to come back after I finished speaking."

His father, Ding Guogong, recently went on a tour of the camp in the eastern suburbs. He has not been at home these days. There are only two princesses in Jinyang, mother and son.

The eldest princess looked at her son's face and said, "Is Jianing here again?"

Xiao Yunyue paused. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still nodded.

Today's emperor seems to love the court more than the beauties in the harem.Although there was a show after he ascended the throne, the number of beauties in the palace was still small, and the number of heirs was not abundant.

In addition to having two sons with the crown princess who had gone through hardships with him back then, who is now Empress Zhaoming.Those who came down were the third prince of Ning Zhaoyi, the fourth prince of Concubine De, the fifth prince of Duan Zhaoyi and Princess Jianing, the daughter of Concubine Shu.

Because there was only one imperial concubine in the dynasty, Emperor Jingyuan was very fond of this little daughter. When Princess Jianing was still in her infancy, Emperor Jingyuan designated Jianing County as her Tangmuyi, with a food of [-] yuan. Three hundred households.

Princess Jianing was pampered and pampered in the palace since she was a child. Even the queen was quite tolerant of her, so she naturally had a pampered temperament.

In his early years, Emperor Jingyuan once said that he would be more intimate with the eldest princess of Jinyang.However, Xiao Yunyue and Princess Jianing were still young at that time, so it was just a joke among the elders.

But Princess Jianing took her heart and decided that she wanted Xiao Yunyue to marry her. Xiao Yunyue was so annoyed that he ran away when he saw her.The eldest princess of Jinyang once thought that her son would rather stay in the frontier than come back to avoid this peach blossom.

Then again, Princess Jinyang also felt that Princess Jianing's temperament was incompatible with Xiao Yunyue's.If the son likes it, then the eldest princess is fine.Her son didn't like it, and she didn't want to force it.

However, the eldest princess Jinyang was a little worried when she thought about this. She sighed and said: "Jianing, you said she is a bit pampered. She is a noble daughter of a noble family in the capital. You either think she is too arrogant or too warm and swallows her temper. Yun Yun. Yue, tell your mother, what kind of little lady do you like?"

Seeing that his son was about to be crowned, it was time to put marriage on the agenda, but his son looked like the red star had not moved.

The eldest princess of Jinyang felt that her family was already extremely wealthy and there was no need to use her son's marriage to form a marriage to gain benefits.

Although she and her husband fell in love at first sight with Duke Dingguo, the eldest princess did it as a stopgap measure for the consideration of the Eastern Palace.But later, Duke Dingguo treated each other wholeheartedly, and the couple played the piano and played the piano in harmony, showing feelings for each other.

She has met many couples in the houses of powerful people in Beijing. For the sake of family marriage, it is good for the husband and wife to be as calm as water.

Unless there are any accidents between husband and wife, they will be married for a lifetime and stay together forever. The eldest princess still hopes that her son can find someone he likes and spend the rest of his life together.

What kind of little lady do you like?

In fact, Xiao Yunyue had never thought about this issue before.When he was young, he was in Youzhou with his father, and saw many of Rouran's harassment and massacre of the people living on the border of Dayan.

The young man's ambition was to reach Ling Yun. At that time, he determined that one day he would drive away the enemies from all directions of Yan and restore peace to the world.

When the noble disciples of similar age to him in Beijing were still studying or enjoying their wealth, Xiao Yunyue was blowing sand in the northern border, eating and sleeping with the soldiers.

Marrying a wife and starting a family seems to be a very distant thing for him.

But when the eldest princess asked this question just now, Xiao Yunyue suddenly remembered a pair of extremely beautiful and extremely calm eyes.

I think of the owner of the eyes sitting behind the screen, with a graceful figure like a crane, and hair on the temples like clouds.

There was also the warm fur coat wrapped around him that night, and her calm and calm voice when she calmly rebuked the inspector.

What kind of little girl do you like?Things that were somewhat fuzzy in the past seemed to suddenly become clear.

The eldest princess of Jinyang was still worried, and she saw Xiao Yunyue secretly lost in thought at the side.Before she had thought about it, she suddenly stopped her son with a question.

Seeing that he looked a little dazed, he asked worriedly: "But the injury is not completely healed yet, is there still something uncomfortable?"

Xiao Yunyue came back to his senses, thinking about what he had just thought, his ears turned red.Fortunately, the candlelight in the room was dim, so the eldest princess didn't notice it for a while.

He quickly changed the subject and said: "No, the injury has long been healed. Today, when His Majesty announced that I was accompanying him in the South Study Room, he told me to let me take charge of the Yulin Guard, and I agreed."

"Oh?" Princess Jinyang knew that the emperor had this intention, so she was not surprised when her son mentioned it.She was surprised that Xiao Yunyue agreed so easily.

Her son was like a wild horse without a bridle, he couldn't sit still. Whenever he stayed in Beijing for a long time, he would complain that his bones ached, and he would always find an excuse to go back to Youzhou.

This time, he actually agreed to stay in Kyoto to guard Yu Linwei?

The eldest princess couldn't help but joked: "Aren't you afraid that Jianing will keep pestering you this time?" Xiao Yunyue raised his eyebrows and said: "I didn't go to Youzhou because I was afraid of her."

Xiao Yunyue just preferred the sky high and wide in the border areas, and was worried that if he stayed in the capital for a long time, the wealth and splendor would wear away his will.If he doesn't like it, no one can force it on him.

It's just that Jianing is a princess and a young lady after all, so Xiao Yunyue can't bear to be acquainted with her.

The eldest princess also knew what he was thinking. She stretched out her hand to straighten his wrinkled collar and said: "Okay, okay, I know you are not afraid. But you don't have to be upset for too long. I heard the queen say it when I entered the palace last time. , I will choose a son-in-law for Jianing this year."

Xiao Yunyue was hiding from Princess Jianing as if she were hiding something, and Emperor Jingyuan also knew it.He had watched Xiao Yunyue grow up, and he felt closer to this nephew than to his later sons.Although Emperor Jingyuan couldn't get married in person, Emperor Jingyuan was a little regretful.But marriage matters must also be consensual and consensual.Since Xiao Yunyue doesn't want to, then let it be.

After speaking, the eldest princess sighed again and continued: "But I'm afraid Jianing will make a lot of noise in the palace, and the queen will have a headache."

The eldest princess's guess was correct. Princess Jianing was now in the south study, pestering Emperor Jingyuan: "Father, you knew that your son was coming, why did you let your cousin go?"

Emperor Jingyuan took a sip of tea and said, "Your cousin is still injured. Besides, it's already getting late and the palace gates are about to be locked. Do you still want to let him stay in the palace overnight?"

Princess Jianing is very beautiful, especially when she smiles, she looks like a peach and plum.

She wore a snail bun, a complete set of gold and ruby ​​hair, and a purple palace dress with gold. She looked like a wealthy and noble girl from a heavenly family, but still had the charm of a girl.

She was sitting aside at the moment, pouting slightly and saying, "So what? Didn't my cousin often rest in the palace before?"

After saying that, he walked closer to Emperor Jingyuan: "My cousin's injury has not healed yet? Can I go out of the palace to see him tomorrow? I took a good Ganoderma lucidum from my mother's concubine, and I just brought it to Cousin. Are you okay, Father?"

Princess Jianing protracted her voice and said sweetly: "Just let me go out of the palace to see my cousin. I swear I will be back before dark and I will never let you and my mother-in-law worry."

Emperor Jingyuan knew that Xiao Yunyue avoided Princess Jianing as much as he avoided snakes and scorpions. If he let Princess Jianing go, he might just find an excuse for this kid to go out for a horse race.

If the injury affects her body again, Princess Jinyang may come to the palace to complain again.

Remembering the power of his eldest sister, Emperor Jingyuan decisively rejected his daughter's request.

Seeing that Emperor Jingyuan refused to agree, Princess Jianing even moved forward to pester Emperor Jingyuan like twisting candy: "Why? Father, just let me go. I haven't seen my cousin for a long time."

Emperor Jingyuan glanced at Princess Jianing: "Your mother said that she will choose a son-in-law for you this year. It's time for you to control your temper and learn the rules in the palace."

This matter was brought up by the Queen with Emperor Jingyuan a few days ago. The previous princes had already married and opened mansions. Since Marquis Pingyang had no interest in Jianing, he had to make new plans.

After all, the princess's surrender is a big event, and there are still many things to do after the engagement.The wedding is set for this year, and I'm afraid the wedding ceremony won't be held until the year after next, when Jia Ning will be at a good age.

The queen has always been in charge of matters in the inner palace, and Emperor Jingyuan also trusted his first wife.

Over the years, Queen Zhaoming has always been fair in her arrangements for the inner palace. The marriages of the princes from the crown prince to the following princes were arranged by the queen herself, and they treated each other with respect and dignity.

The previous dynasty was still busy with matters, so Emperor Jingyuan still left full power over this matter to the queen.

The Queen has actually been preparing for this matter for some time, but this is the first time Princess Jianing, who is devotedly in love with Xiao Yunyue, has heard about it. How can she be willing? She stood up and said: "Why choose a son-in-law? I don't want it! In addition to appearance, Brother, I won’t marry anyone!”

Seeing her like this, Emperor Jingyuan frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Look at yourself, what do you look like?"

Princess Jianing didn't care about this. She continued: "Which man in the capital is as good as my cousin? I am your daughter. If I want to marry, I will naturally marry the best man in Dayan! If you are not willing to grant the marriage, With my cousin and I, I will disturb the peace of whichever family I marry in the future!"

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Jingyuan scolded. His voice was not loud, but he was very coercive. It was obvious that he was really angry. The waiters around him knelt on the ground in an instant.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Emperor Jingyuan waved his hand and ordered all the waiters in the palace to retreat.

He had always thought that Princess Jianing was a young lady after all. He only had this daughter, so there was no harm in pampering her.

But seeing Jianing like this, and remembering the Queen's tactful hints to him a few days ago, Jianing's temper seemed to be a little too indulgent, and Emperor Jingyuan at this moment believed it.

"You are my daughter, but you are also the princess of Dayan. Look at yourself, do you still look like a princess? You are coquettish and foolish. I don't know what to say."

Emperor Jingyuan stood up and said in a deep voice: "Marriage is a good marriage between two people. If it is forced, how can it be consummated? Don't you understand this truth?"

Princess Jianing had never been spoken to by Emperor Jingyuan in such harsh words before, and she felt so wronged that her eyes were red.

But Emperor Jingyuan was determined to teach her a lesson this time, so he continued: "In the past, I was too pampered to you. You are approaching the age of marriage. You will not be allowed to leave the palace casually in the future. I will ask your mother to find someone for you." A few nuns will educate you, and you can control your temper in your own palace."

"Your mother and concubines are responsible for preparing for the marriage, so you don't need to worry about it."

Princess Jianing heard that Emperor Jingyuan was serious this time and wanted to choose a son-in-law for her and let her marry someone else.She stamped her feet in anger and ran out of the south study room crying.

Emperor Jingyuan sighed deeply, and after sitting down, he had no intention of reading the memorial anymore.Thinking of Princess Jianing, she still had a headache, so she was sent to the Queen's Weiyang Palace.

Princess Jianing cried and ran all the way to Concubine Shu's Yeting Palace. Seeing her like this, the palace people all gave way to her, for fear of bumping into the princess and causing a slap in the face.

Concubine Shu, who was killing time while embroidering in the palace, heard about this. As soon as she came out, Princess Jianing knocked her into her arms: "What's going on? Who provoked you again? Why are you crying like this?"

Princess Jianing couldn't breathe. She hugged Concubine Shu and choked with sobs: "My father said that I want my mother to choose a son-in-law for me to marry. Concubine, go and tell your father for me that I don't want to marry anyone else." ."

The Queen had hinted at Princess Jianing yesterday about choosing a husband for her.Concubine Shu also knows her daughter's temper. If she knew about this, I'm afraid there would be trouble.

At this moment, the palace servants fetched water, wiped her tear-stained cheeks and said, "The queen told me about this yesterday, and your father also agreed. I'm afraid it will be difficult to change."

Ever since the beginning of the year, when the Queen smiled and hinted at the possibility of getting married to the eldest princess of Jinyang, but was politely rejected by the eldest princess, Concubine Shu knew that Princess Jianing's intentions would be in vain.

Seeing her daughter like this, she felt distressed and helpless.The emperor and the eldest princess of Jinyang have a deep sibling relationship and will not disobey the eldest princess.

It's just that Jianing is obsessed with Marquis Pingyang, so how can he let him go so easily?
She was about to persuade her daughter a few more words, but Princess Jianing only heard the four words "difficult to change", and she stood up in anger, and even knocked over the basin on the side without realizing it.

Then he ran all the way back to his dormitory and kicked out all the people in the palace. He was afraid that he would cry all night long.

The female officer was beside Concubine Shu and said rather worriedly: "My queen, do you want to persuade the princess again? What should I do if my eyes hurt from crying?"

Concubine Shu looked in the direction of her daughter's bedroom and sighed: "Let her cry. I'm afraid she won't be able to listen to anything at this time."
