Young man, please stay

Chapter 313 Marry the King
When Qin Lang and Tao'er hurried to the gate of the princess's mansion, the first people they saw were two strangers.

A woman dressed in men's clothes, who looks like a maid or a guard, but definitely a follower.

The other old woman was a bit sinister. Although she looked ordinary on the surface, Qin Lang, who was a half-step master, could tell at a glance that she was a master. She might play a role like Jin'er in the regent, a thug or a secret guard or something.

However, no matter what, these two people did not attract much attention from Qin Lang.

Because the scene behind them was truly eye-catching, even Qin Lang, who had been in Beijing for a while and had seen the world, was dumbfounded on the spot.

Behind the two of them, there was a line that stretched as far as the eye could see. There were at least ten sedan chairs carried by eight men. From the curtain of the first sedan chair that was lifted, it could be seen that all of them were loaded with silver horseshoes and gold ingots decorated with brocade red cloth!

Of course, not all sedans are like this.

Qin Lang stood at the door and looked at them blankly. Some of the sedan chairs were filled with cloth and silk, while others were filled with jade and porcelain.

Some of the sedan chairs even had people sitting in them! They were in pairs, with beautiful maids wearing red cloths and red flowers on their chests!
In addition to these sedan chairs, the team also had fine horses with big red flowers on their foreheads, baskets loaded with chickens, ducks, fish and meat, and scrolls of calligraphy and paintings...

“What…what is going on???”

Qin Lang stared at Tao'er beside him, who also looked helpless, and could only remind him again in a low voice:
"Son-in-law, I told you, they said they came to...propose marriage..."

"Propose marriage? To whom?"

"I'm looking for you, my uncle. Of course, I'm proposing marriage to you, my uncle."

"..."

Qin Lang felt his head buzzing. Before he could think about it, the woman dressed in men's clothes came up to him with an expressionless face.

"Are you Young Master Qin Lang?"

"Uh…"

Qin Lang gritted his teeth and clasped his fists:
"It's me, may I ask who is..."

"Regent's Palace, Xiangmei."

After Xiangmei finished speaking, she handed a bright red envelope to Qin Lang:
"Young Master Qin, please take a look."

Qin Lang took it doubtfully:

"This is…?"

"This is the marriage certificate that our Lord Bai has given you."

"..."

Qin Lang's face was stiff, and there were ten thousand horses running through his mind.

Damn...

So what's going on with this regent?
I haven't even met you before, but you suddenly ask me to "marry" you by my name?
Are you okay?

Subconsciously, Qin Lang even wanted to use a word called "inferior" to describe the regent.

But on the other hand, Qin Lang didn't expect that in the martial Zhou Dynasty, there actually existed such a thing as a formal marriage certificate. He guessed that it should have appeared after the empress ascended the throne. So he was curious about what was written in it, so he opened it and took a look.

"Young man Qin Lang...alias Wang Liang...will you marry me if you read this letter?"

The crooked handwriting on the marriage certificate made Qin Lang's eyelids twitch even more.

This is called a marriage certificate?

As expected, the Great Zhou is still the same Great Zhou, and its cultural level in many aspects is still quite primitive.

"Cough cough..."

While Qin Lang was looking at the marriage certificate, Xiangmei took out a list and began to read it without any emotion:

"Two hundred catties of gold, ten thousand ounces of silver, sixty horses, a thousand rolls of silk, twenty sets of pack armor, forty loads of betrothal cakes, four maids for the bedroom, four maids to warm the bed, four spare maids, gold and silver tea cans..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Qin Lang waved his hands repeatedly:

"What are you...reading?"

"The betrothal gift."

"No ..."

Qin Lang held his forehead with his hand:

"What does your regent mean? I have no grudge against her... huh?"

No, wait a minute.

Qin Lang seemed to remember something.

Didn’t the four words “alias Wang Liang” appear on the marriage certificate just now?

Qin Lang pondered over it, and suddenly he remembered the day of the Dragon Boat Festival when he rode with Zhen Ji to buy rice dumplings and met the handsome young man in white who accidentally fell off his horse...

Snapped!
After a moment, Qin Lang slapped his forehead. Could that person be the Regent Bai Qingqing?

"I said, I only met your regent once, why would she propose to me?"

Xiangmei frowned when she heard this:

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? What do you mean? You suddenly come to propose marriage for no apparent reason!"

"In other words, you dare to refuse this marriage?"

"nonsense."

Qin Lang raised his neck, his face full of determination:
"Qin is a married man after all. How could he yield to the tyranny of the Regent? Let her marry him if she wants? Please go back!"

"Uncle..."

Tao'er's eyes sparkled as she watched from the side, and she was moved by her son-in-law's chastity.

On the other hand, Xiangmei saw Qin Lang's reaction and was not as angry or dissatisfied as expected. Instead, she remained calm and said:

"My master actually anticipated Young Master Qin's attitude."

"?"

"So my master said, you don't have to accept the marriage certificate, the betrothal gifts are just here, and the master will come to propose marriage in person later."

"???"

Still asking?

And come in person?
Qin Lang stood there, his frowning brows slightly relaxed for the first time because he had developed a little interest in this regent:

"What on earth does your Regent see in me...? Could it be because of my previous fall from power?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, I like you. My Lord said that no matter what Young Master Qin's identity is or whether he has a lover, as long as he hasn't been formally married, he must bring you to the Regent's Palace."

"..."

"By the way, my mistress has been alone for many years, and Young Master Qin is the first man she fell in love with."

After saying that, Xiangmei and the sinister old woman turned around and left. The rest of the servants also left, leaving only the betrothal gifts.

Including those maids who served as concubines, warmed the bed, and were shyly sent with red flowers tied to their necks, they were also left there as betrothal gifts. They were originally lifting the red scarves covering their eyes to peek at their future masters, but as soon as Qin Lang gave an order, the maids from the Princess's Mansion went out and urged everyone to go back.

……

Afterwards, Qin Lang of course informed Su Yinping of the situation as soon as possible.

The princess was also very shocked when she found out, but after that she just said "Yupan will take care of it" and then didn't say anything else.

Qin Lang was stunned at the time, and then approached Lady Su in a servile manner:
"Yin Ping, I was almost taken over by someone, aren't you worried at all?"

"Occupy?"

Su Yinping frowned nervously:

"Did Bai Qingqing...insult your body?"

"How can it be!"

"Oh…"

Su Yinping breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's fine..."

"..."

Qin Lang could see that since the Dragon Boat Festival, the standard of whether his relationship with other women had crossed the line had obviously changed slightly in the princess' mind.

This is undoubtedly caused by the desire to taste the sweetness.

Anyway, Su Yinping didn't care too much about the Regent's proposal of marriage. On the one hand, it was because Bai Qingqing had always been accustomed to opposing the empress. On the other hand, Su Yinping tacitly let Su Yupan handle all the Regent's affairs.

However, even so, when Su Yinping discovered that the betrothal gifts sent by the Regent were lined up all the way to the street, causing outsiders to talk about it, she had to quickly ask people to accept all these gifts for the time being.

Although it was a helpless act, Qin Lang couldn't help feeling humiliated at being sold by his own wife to be someone else's husband.

Ugh…

There is no other way. In order to calm down this humiliation, I have to vent it out with Zhuo Beibei tonight...

Oh, to be precise, it should be Nangong Zhuo.

Because seven days have long passed, and now the former leader of Tianhe Sect has returned.

Although bigger has its advantages, seeing that Qin Lang has no shortage of bigger ones around him, he immediately decided to fry her back to a smaller size tonight so that she would be easier to use.
