Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 297
"Father." As soon as Huang Chenyan stepped in, he saw Marquis Jingwu looking at a parchment in his hand. It was a map, probably the topographic map of the Dalai Dynasty and various foreign states, and immediately called out.

"Yan'er is back, let's take a look at this map." Hou Jingwu was overjoyed when he heard his daughter's voice, and pointed to the map and called out to Huang Chenyan.

Huang Chenyan saw that his face was full of joy, and the words in his mouth froze. He sighed secretly, bit his lips and walked to his side, and accompanied him to look at the map, but he had something in his heart, and his eyes were somewhat erratic, so that Jing Wuhou called out. She didn't respond a few times.

Seeing his daughter's distraught look, he also sensed something was wrong, immediately put down the parchment in his hand, frowned, and said, "Yan'er, what happened?"

"Daddy, I..." Huang Chenyan bit her lower lip, and she didn't know how to speak. It was really annoying to ask her to talk about the marriage by herself. What's more, she had just been reunited with Marquis Jingwu, so she didn't want to disturb Daddy's mood because of these hours , so he couldn't help hesitating for a while.

"What's going on?" Jing Wu Hou saw her embarrassed face, and his face immediately sank, "But someone bullied you?" As soon as the words came out, his face was immediately stained with evil spirit.

"Father, no, it's just that my daughter met Rou Shi in the palace today." Huang Chenyan hesitated for a moment, and then told Jing Wuhou exactly what happened to him in the palace.

"Too much deceit!" Marquis Jingwu has been trapped by the Huns for so many years, and the only concern in his heart is Huang Chenyan's daughter. Hearing that she had reconciled with Lin Wang's son earlier, he already felt that his daughter had been wronged. When looking for someone, I must find someone who is dedicated to Huang Chenyan, and it will save her from being idle.

Unexpectedly, the Rou family dared to take the idea of ​​​​his own daughter, and said that it is her honor to marry the emperor's eldest grandson as a side concubine, it is really deceiving!If the grandson of the emperor really likes Huang Chenyan, he should come to ask for marriage in person, and ask his concubine to come over and tell what's going on. Could it be that he is bullying him that there is no one in the house?

Jingwu Houqi's beard trembled, and he grabbed the sword and was about to go out to settle accounts with Xia Qicheng.Huang Chenyan hurriedly pulled him back, "Father, don't be in a hurry. If you go there rashly, and the emperor finds out later, you will have to blame him."

"Could it be that you want me to watch him bully you?" Marquis Jingwu was full of anger, and his hand holding the sword did not relax at all.

"Of course not. The royal family is too deceitful. They want military power. Naturally, I won't be greedy for power, but now they want to make an idea of ​​my marriage. I'm afraid I won't be able to make him do what he wants." A stern look flashed across Huang Chenyan's eyes. Marriage, such a husband, she is determined not to have a second time.

As for why the eldest grandson of the emperor wanted to marry her, she knew in her heart that when her father returned safely, she was no longer the lonely and helpless widow of the Houfu, and she was asking to marry her now, just to gain her father's support, so as to fuel his fight for the throne .

"Do you have a plan?" Seeing her confident appearance, Jing Wuhou suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at her suspiciously.

Huang Chenyan clenched his palms tightly, and a look of determination flashed across his eyes, "Father, since the queen didn't say anything about this matter, it means that this matter was not the emperor's idea, and it is precisely because of this that we have a chance."

"You mean..." Jingwu Hou put his sword on the table with a bright face, and after a while he understood what she meant, and his face showed joy, "That's right, the emperor is suspicious. Maybe it has already attracted the emperor's attention.

When Jing Wuhou said this, he couldn't help but feel worried. He didn't mention one thing, but it didn't mean he wasn't worried. He had been trapped by the Huns for many years, and if he came back safely, he might not be a good thing in the eyes of the emperor, but a cancer.If Huang Chenyan hadn't returned from defeating the Huns army this time, the emperor would have accused him of colluding with the Huns.

"In that case, clean up and come with me into the palace to face the saint." Marquis Jingwu made up his mind, turned around immediately, patted the back of her hand and sighed, "Yan'er, I have wronged you."

Huang Chenyan guessed what he meant, smiled and shook his head, "Father, I'm fine, I just don't marry for the rest of my life, my father and I finally reunited, my daughter wants to stay by your side for a few more years, so that I can do my filial piety for you. "

Marquis Jingwu sighed secretly, and ordered the housekeeper to prepare a carriage and go all the way to the palace gate.Along the way, I only heard the creaking sound of the rails of the carriage on the Qingshizi road. When I reached the gate of the palace, Huang Chenyan got out of the carriage behind Jingwu Hou. Looking at the high palace wall, his eyes were in a daze for a moment. Foot in.

Emperor Ming Sheng was staying with Concubine Lian, and when he heard that Marquis Jing Wu was paying his respects, he couldn't help but startled for a moment, his dark eyes glowed coldly.Concubine Lian raised the corners of her lips, stood up from his embrace, and smiled coquettishly, "Your Majesty, since Marquis Jingwu is here, this concubine will leave first."

Seeing her so knowledgeable, Ming Shengdi's heart trembled, as if he had been ironed by hot water. Thinking of her risking her life to save him before, there was a touch of emotion in his eyes, and he suddenly reached out to hold her, "Aifei, don't worry, Marquis Jingwu!" You have been trapped by the Huns for many years, and you haven't seen them this time, so you might as well take this opportunity to meet them."

"How can this be done?" Concubine Lian's heart was beating wildly, but she had a troubled look on her face, "Master Hou must have something important to discuss with the emperor when he comes here. A courtier and concubine is a woman, what do you do listening to this? If you don't understand Forget it, if you understand it, if you can't share the emperor's worries, wouldn't it be more of a headache, the emperor will spare the concubine soon."

Ming Shengdi originally wanted to test her. There was a queen mother in the harem, and because of his negligence, another concubine intervening in politics must not appear. Hearing Concubine Lian's answer at this moment, he felt relieved and looked into her eyes. Can't help softening, and immediately laughed, "Since that's the case, I will spare you for the time being, go quickly."

Concubine Lian stood up with a smile on her face, gave Xia Shengqing a look, pushed open the door and went out, just passing by Marquis Jingwu.

Huang Chenyan knelt down on the ground together with Marquis Jingwu, "My minister sees the emperor."

"Marquis Jingwu, you are not staying in the mansion, what are you doing here? I heard that you have suffered a lot in the Huns, and you should rest well when you come back this time." Ming Shengdi stared at him with a pair of eagle eyes. , put his palm on the dragon case, and chuckled lightly.

Marquis Jingwu immediately shouted, "Your Majesty, I naturally think about it too, but when I think about my daughter's marriage, I have trouble sleeping and eating, and I really can't hold back what I think, so I have the cheek to come to you to beg for your kindness." .”

He kept his posture extremely low, and he was respectful and respectful throughout the whole process. The suspicion in Ming Shengdi's heart dissipated when he saw him bowing down and being a small boy. Looking at Huang Chenyan's sweet pastry, he only thought that Marquis Jingwu wanted to use Huang Chenyan's marriage to get married to a family in Beijing, so that Marquis Jingwu's power could be further improved, and his face suddenly sank.

Jing Wuhou said while watching Ming Shengdi's face, his heart "thumped", he no longer hesitated, and said the decision he made in the future, "I know that my little girl went to the battlefield before, and Lin Wangshizi Heli, but Weichen is just such a daughter, and I have not been able to take care of her by her side for many years. Now that I am back, I naturally want to worry about her marriage. Previously, the concubine of the emperor's eldest grandson came to marry, which should have been a good thing Marriage."

"It's just..." Marquis Jingwu took a sneak look at Ming Shengdi, and saw that his face was as dark as water, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. I'm afraid I can't bear the elder grandson's kindness. What's more, I and my daughter get together so rarely, I always want to keep her by my side, and I asked the emperor to issue an order to allow my daughter to find a husband she likes by herself."

"Huang Chenyan, what do you think?" Ming Shengdi's face improved when he said that he rejected Rou Shi, he was already very angry with Xia Qixuan, so he turned his eyes to Huang Chenyan and asked.

Only then did Huang Chenyan raise his head, with a resolute expression on his face, "My daughter only wishes to stay with her father all her life, and if she gets married, she must recruit a husband-in-law who comes to visit her, so that she can be a filial piety in front of her father, otherwise, A courtier would rather be alone forever."

She spoke out loudly, word by word, what she wanted in her heart.Hearing her words, Ming Shengdi couldn't help being stunned, his eyes were full of inquiry, he tapped his fingers on the table, he was silent for a while, and suddenly he laughed, "Well, well, well, you are worthy of being a heroine, it's rare that you have such filial piety, I agree! "

Huang Chenyan immediately showed joy, and quickly thanked him.As soon as the father and daughter left the imperial study, the smile on Ming Shengdi's face quickly rolled back, and he snorted coldly, "Director Xia, what do you think of this matter?"

"Your Majesty, it's not obvious. Marquis Jingwu loves his daughter dearly, but he just wants to keep her for a few more years." Xia Shengqing evaded the seriousness and kept pouring wine for him while smilingly said, pretending not to understand Mingsheng. The temptation in the word of God.

Ming Shengdi chuckled, "That's true, Xiao Xia, go and call the emperor's eldest grandson into the palace." His grandson needs to be hammered hard. It's really like he's dead.

After Jing Wu Hou left the palace, he just returned to the mansion, and he ordered the housekeeper in the mansion to spread his thoughts.

The wives who came to proclaim their marriage gasped when they saw the cloth strips pasted on the door of the Hou's mansion, and looked at each other, thinking in their hearts that this Marquis of Jingwu is crazy, thinking that her daughter is some kind of extraordinary person, It's just a broken shoe whose engagement has been divorced, how dare to make such a high request.

There were also those who were unwilling to give up, knocked on the gate of Jingwu Marquis Mansion, and wanted to go in cheekily, but were stopped by the butler of the Hou Mansion guarding the door.As a result, all the ladies turned cold-faced and walked away with their hands.

Xin'er caught up with the excitement, and told Xia Zijin the whole thing, with a little doubt in her eyes, "Princess, tell me, didn't Marquis Jingwu deliberately make things difficult for others? Isn't he afraid that the princess won't be able to get married?" ?”
