A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 424 Marrying the Princess

Having said that, Meng Yan asked confidently, "Then what did you do this afternoon?"

Yin Heng answered every question: "I went out and interrogated two people."

Subconsciously, Meng Yan thought it was the group of people who took the lead in fanning the flames and bowing to Yin Heng on the street that day, so she asked, "Then did they recruit?"

Yin Heng said: "Recruited."

Meng Yan said: "They want to harm you, how do you plan to deal with them?"

Yin Heng said softly: "Neither let them die well, nor let them live well."

After dinner, Yin Heng took her to digest, sat in the pavilion for a while, and watched the moonlight and stars for a while as he wished.

After returning to the room, she asked someone to bring hot water as usual. Yin Heng soaked and rubbed her feet every night before she fell asleep.

During the daytime, Yan'er and Chongyi like to go outside to collect some scriptures and the latest gossip news, and come back to relieve Meng Yan's boredom.

The next day, after listening to Yan'er Chongyi's talk, Meng Yan and Xia knew that Tang and her brother who worked in Jingzhao Yin's Yamen were in trouble. It was said that it was because of collusion with each other to create something out of nothing, so the whole city put up the portrait of the princess. Bring on the curse.

Yesterday afternoon when the Dali Temple opened, the Tang family was beaten [-] times in the hall, and Tang's brother lost his job again.

If you dare to bully Princess Yinwu, it is considered light to hit fifty big boards. Besides, the governor pretends to be a public servant for personal gain, so how can the emperor not give Prince Yinwu face, so he was dismissed from his official position this morning.

Yan'er learned a bit of the style of the storyteller in the teahouse, and she talked wildly for a while.

After Xia's tongue-tied speech, she agreed with her son-in-law's actions, and said: "Earlier, she was trying to get her idea, and Yin Heng gave her fifty boards, which is what she deserved."

Only then did Meng Yan come to his senses, and said to himself, "It turns out that the two people he said to interrogate yesterday were not those people on the street, but them."

Chongyi said: "It's lucky they didn't kill them."

Meng Yan blinked and said, "But last night I told my father-in-law that I don't want them to die well, and I don't want them to live well."

Chongyi said: "Your husband is not such a person."

Regarding the identity of Princess Yin Wu, everyone was still speculating and doubtful.

After the incident with the Tang family, the truth has finally come to light.

It turned out that Princess Yin Wu was actually the illegitimate daughter of Meng Yunxiao, the Minister of the Dynasty and a cabinet scholar.

His illegitimate daughter had been wandering outside in the early years, and later met Yin Wu Wang by chance, and formed such a fate.

The queen mother in the palace was very angry because of this, and there was a generous and charming young lady beside her who kept persuading her.

This lady's surname is Xie and her name is Chuying. She calls the Queen Mother "Auntie", and she and the Queen are from the same Xie family.

The Empress Dowager looked unkind and said: "It's not good to choose a princess, but he chose an illegitimate daughter. Doesn't King Yinwu want face? The daughter-in-law that Ai's family showed him is not as good as that illegitimate daughter? !"

Although Xie Chuying is not the first daughter of the Xie family, she comes from a famous family anyway.More importantly, having the daughter of Xie's family as the princess of Yin Wu can make the queen mother feel at ease.

But now a Princess Yin Wu suddenly appeared, disrupting all her arrangements.

Xie Chuying was a little aggrieved, but she had to say generously: "Don't be angry, aunt."

When the emperor came to the harem after dealing with court affairs, as soon as he entered the empress dowager's palace, he heard from the palace people that the empress dowager was very angry these two days.

The emperor raised his foot and walked in, the queen mother raised her head to see him, and said, "You came just in time, the Ai family is about to discuss with you about King Wu of Yin."

------------

On this day, the emperor summoned Yin Heng to the palace for an audience.

At that time, the emperor was sitting by the chessboard on the couch, and asked his chief eunuch to accompany him to play chess.

Seeing Yin Heng coming, Eunuch Huang, the chief eunuch, hurriedly got up, heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled apologetically: "Your lord is here, if you don't come again, the servant is clumsy, I can't play this chess."

The emperor waved his hand to let Eunuch Huang back down, and beckoned Yin Heng to come forward.

Yin Heng had no choice but to sit down and play the remaining half of the game.

After a game of chess was over, Yin Heng lost two pieces.

The emperor got up and returned to the dragon chair, sat down, and asked the eunuch to serve tea.

The current emperor is in his prime, well-maintained, and looks quite mature.

The emperor opened his mouth first and said: "Last year I heard that you were attacked and your whereabouts were unknown. I sent people to search along the way for several months, but there was no news. Fortunately, you finally managed to save the day, which makes me gratified."

Yin Heng said: "The emperor is worried."

The emperor sighed: "I asked you to call my elder brother in private, but you can't change it. Forget it, this time you come back safely, as long as you are fine. As for who is against you, this matter must be investigated carefully."

Yin Heng nodded in response.

The emperor took a sip of tea, and said, "I have asked you to come here, there is one more thing."

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

"It's not because of you marrying the concubine. Earlier, I and the queen mother took turns persuading you, but you were unmoved. This time you are on a battle outside, and the queen mother can't wait, so she selected a candidate for the princess in advance."

Yin Heng frowned imperceptibly.

The emperor continued: "It is the young lady of the Xie family, the queen's younger sister. I have seen her, Chu Ying is gentle, virtuous, gentle and generous, and she has been well-bred since she was a child, and she is well-educated. She is indeed a rare candidate."

Yin Heng said: "The minister has married a wife."

The emperor was also helpless, and said: "Your matter did come suddenly. Neither I nor the Queen Mother were prepared. I also heard that the current Princess Yin Wu was not only born in the countryside, but also a private child abandoned by a minister in the court. Giving birth to a daughter. It's embarrassing to have such an identity."

The emperor's tone was excellent, reasoning every sentence, and he was persuasive.

The emperor said: "If that's the person you really want to marry, I can't stop you. It's just that Princess Yin Wu of my Great Yin Kingdom, how can she make a hasty marriage? It must be a grand marriage, and the subjects will join in the grand event."

His implication is that the person who can be honored should not be an ordinary woman with an embarrassing status.

What's more, now Princess Yin Wu is only unilaterally recognized by Yin Heng, there is no celebration, and no one has seen it with their own eyes. In name, as long as the emperor says she is not, then she is not.

But the emperor can't break up the husband and wife just after they return from military service.And the woman is pregnant with a child.

Yin Heng was noncommittal, waiting for the emperor to continue.

That's why the emperor said in a deliberative tone, "I have discussed with the Queen Mother. Since the celebration has not been held yet, I am not considered an orthodox princess. But I can't stop you from being with her. Why don't you set her up as a concubine. How do you feel about choosing a good day and an auspicious day to marry Chuying into the mansion?"

It means that Meng Yan can be given a status, but it is only a concubine, and the premise is that he must first marry Miss Xie's family as a concubine before he can be recognized.

Yin Heng replied: "Not really."

The emperor felt a little offended, and said: "The queen mother is old, and she is looking forward to such a little thing. We should do our best to be filial. Your palace doesn't only have one woman."
