marriage gentleman

Chapter 19

As soon as the sweetheart was mentioned, Chen Nanzhu's eyes turned red.

Qi Guang said: "Isn't it just a man? If your father doesn't let you, you can listen to your father." Where there is no fragrant grass in the end of the world, why bother to stick to a sick grass.It's not worth weeping for a man, Qi Guang was about to comfort him, but seeing tears welling up in Chen Nanzhu's eyes, he was obviously even more sad.

She couldn't help but rubbed between her eyebrows.

Lu Li coughed lightly, and pulled Qi Guang calmly.

The two exchanged glances again calmly, Qi Guang took a step back automatically and consciously, Lu Li stepped forward and asked: "The Sixth Prince is sick, and he doesn't leave the gate all the year round, how does Miss Chen know?" To win the sixth prince?"

Chen Nanzhu said in a low voice: "A few years ago, I went to Nanhua Temple to offer incense. When I left Nanhua Temple in a carriage, the horse was suddenly frightened and ran all the way. He was the one who saved me at that time. I didn't know at that time that he belonged to Great Wei. The sixth prince, he only told me his single name. From then on, I fell in love with him at first sight. Afterwards, I checked again and again, but couldn't find out where his home is. Fortunately, God has mercy on me. Last year I When I was passing by the prince's mansion, I happened to meet him again, and when I heard the attendants around him call the prince, I realized that the person I was thinking of was the sixth prince of Wei."

Qi Guangdao: "It can make you fall in love at first sight, the sixth prince must look like Pan'an."

Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but glance at Qi Guang.

Chen Nanzhu blushed and said, "The sixth prince is the most handsome man in the world."

Qi Guang tried hard to recall.

When the sixth prince came all the way from Wei to Da Zhou, she was only four years old. She was not born at that time, so naturally she had never seen him.Later, the sixth prince was like a sick child again, and no one mentioned it to her, so she never paid attention to this hostage.Qi Guang can say with certainty that she has indeed never met the sixth prince.

Her heart moved, and she said: "Nanzhu, let me help you ask the sixth prince if he likes you."

Chen Nanzhu took Qi Guang's hand and hurriedly said, "Don't...don't."

Qi Guang was puzzled.

"Why? Since you have liked the sixth prince for so long, you should let him know. If he doesn't like you, then don't like him either. Not to mention that he is the prince of Wei, what's wrong with his sickly body? Can I take care of you? And the bed..."

Lu Li coughed heavily.

Qi Guang also coughed, and changed his words: "In a word, this matter has been cut quickly. Don't you want to know whether he likes you?" Seeing Chen Nanzhu's hesitation, she said again: "Nanzhu was born like a fish and a wild goose, unlike ordinary people. Women are also different, if I were the sixth prince, I would definitely please you." Then he hid her well in the Red Sleeve Pavilion.

Lu Li sighed softly in his heart, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change.

"How?" Qi Guang continued his efforts.

After talking one after another, Chen Nanzhu's mind was a little confused. Under Qi Guang's burning gaze, she couldn't help but nodded.

Qi Guang clapped his hands and said: "Very good, it's such a happy decision." When he returned to the palace, it rained again.The carriage swayed slowly in the rain, when passing by the prince's mansion, Qi Guang lifted the curtain and looked out.The front of the Prince's Mansion was extremely deserted, only the raindrops were pattering down, the door knocker was half old, and the plaque swayed slightly in the wind and rain, as if it would fall with the wind if you were stunned.

Lu Li asked: "Your Majesty wants to go there now?"

Qi Guang pondered for a moment, and said: "No, I will go again in a few days, and I will go as a widow, just to express the friendship between Wei and Zhou."

Lu Li said with a smile: "If the sixth prince is really the most beautiful man in the world as Miss Chen said, would your majesty want to win his love?"

Qi Guang stared wide-eyed and said: "Holding swords to seize love is too heavy a word, and a widow is not a person who is interested in sex. No matter how good-looking he is, he is also the sixth prince of Wei. He can't be touched, he can't be touched."

"His Majesty's tone seems to contain regret."

Qi Guang squinted at him, and said, "Jing Heng, you have become more courageous recently, dare to tease the widow?"

"Jing Heng didn't mean to make fun of it, Your Majesty is thinking too much." After a pause, Lu Li said again: "If Your Majesty is going to visit the Sixth Prince, you have to mention it when you go to court tomorrow, or go rashly, Qin Yushi I'm afraid they will stare at His Majesty again."

Lu Li didn't say anything, and Qi Guang didn't think about it, she said: "I really need to mention this, after all, the sixth prince has a special status, and the widow suddenly went to visit, and the civil and military officials in the court must not know what to think."

Qi Guang sighed.

Now she finally understands why her mother chose Lu Li to be her husband-in-law. Her mother's eyes on people are quite sharp.When the morning court was about to end the next day, Qi Guang lightly proposed to visit the sixth prince in person.After speaking, Qi Guang was not surprised to see Qin Yushi's meaningful eyes and Hubu Shangshu Lin Quan's very strange expression.

Qi Guang Fu forehead.

She knew they always misunderstood her.But that's all, her lord has a lot, and the emperor can hold a boat in his stomach!She said: "The Ministry of Rituals prepares, and Lu Qing will accompany the widow to go."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Yushi's eyes finally became less strange.

He just heard that the emperor suddenly said that he would condescend to visit the sixth prince of the neighboring country. Even though the emperor's words were quite high-sounding, at first glance, it was indeed for the country and the people, for the friendship between Great Zhou and Great Wei, but he was who?He could see through the deep meaning of the emperor's words at a glance.The emperor was a child he watched and grew up with, and what attracted the emperor's attention was definitely inseparable from beauty.The sixth prince's biological mother is a palace lady, and she heard that she is so beautiful that the sun and the moon will be dimmed. No matter how bad the sixth prince looks, he must be a handsome son.But now that the emperor asked Lu Li to accompany him, in view of the face of his future husband-in-law, he probably would have a sense of proportion.

Qin Dai stroked his beard, turned slightly to look at Lu Li.

Seeing the smile on Lu Li's face, Qin Daifang was relieved.

If the emperor really brought the sixth prince back to the palace, he...he would hang his beard in the emperor's bedroom!In order to solemnize the matter, Qi Guang also asked the Ministry of Rites to pick a good day, which was set on the day after tomorrow.The news that Qi Guang was going to visit the sixth prince quickly spread in the palace, especially in Nanfeng Xuan.

In the past few days, the after-dinner chats of all the young masters are inseparable from this matter.

Ever since Su Chengyu and Yun Zhen had dinner together last time, the two gradually began to get acquainted.Yun Zhen, who rarely left the wing room, would occasionally have dinner with Su Chengyu. Although they didn't talk much, it was obvious that the two became much closer.

Su Chengyu picked up a piece of bamboo shoot for Yun Zhen, and said, "You've been absent-minded today, why don't you know what's going on?"

Yun Zhen asked: "They seem to be talking about the sixth prince these days. Who is the sixth prince? Isn't there only one prince in the palace?"

Su Chengyu smiled and said: "You came late, so naturally you don't know about it. The sixth prince is not from Zhou, but from Wei. Wei was defeated in the war 20 years ago, so he sent his prince here."

Yun Zhen said "Oh".

Su Chengyu said: "We live in the palace, the only thing we need to do is to have meals with His Majesty, so the people in Nanfengxuan will inevitably be a little bored, and they always like to inquire about the affairs of the palace after dinner. If you feel bored, it is You can go to Hongxiu Pavilion. Nanfengxuan and Hongxiu Pavilion are not uncommon. Although Your Majesty loves beauty, he is not an absurd king. You are still young, and there are several girls in Hongxiu Pavilion who like you the most It would be a good thing if this kind of handsome young man can get married, you can't find such a beautiful girl outside the palace."

Yun Zhen's ears were slightly red, and he stammered: "I... I don't want to find a girl here."

Su Chengyu smiled.

Yun Zhen said again: "How can I meet His Majesty?"

Su Chengyu was taken aback, and suddenly he said in surprise: "Bamboo shoot, don't you please His Majesty?"

Yun Zhen said angrily: "No! I just want to know how to meet His Majesty!"

Seeing that his face was flushed with anger, Su Chengyu couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, I'm just kidding you. If the son of Nanfengxuan wants to see His Majesty, he can only wait for His Majesty to call. But you have made friends with me, I can tell you One way. I am the person who will accompany His Majesty to have dinner today. I can call you sick and let you go instead. When the time comes, you can play by ear and have a word or two with Your Majesty when you leave. Besides, do you know Why did His Majesty take you back to the palace?"

The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty would bring him back to the palace. After careful calculation, he was the one who asked Qi Guang first.

Su Chengyu said with a smile: "You look very interesting when your ears are red. If you ask His Majesty, you will show a look that will please His Majesty. In this way, you will get twice the result with half the effort." Yun Zhen also Been there a few times.But every time he was very reserved, he always felt that standing here was really an insult to a man's face.He once asked Su Chengyu, but he didn't understand why he was so frank.Su Chengyu replied to him: "This matter is like doing business. If you want something in return, you have to pay." After Su Chengyu said, Yun Zhen also gradually let go and became more and more cooperative.

But Yun Zhen was a little nervous today.

When Qi Guang was eating, Yun Zhen stood in the last seat.

Qi Guang didn't pay much attention to Yun Zhen at first, until Yun Zhen stared at her without blinking.

Qi Guang was seven or eight percent full at this time, so he put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Yun Zhen, if you feel unwell, you don't have to force it, the widow will not punish you."

Many young masters' eyes fell on Yun Zhen.

Yun Zhen looked at it and hesitated.

Qi Guang said: "You all step back first, Yun Zhen, you stay."

After everyone left, Qi Guang said kindly: "Yun Zhen, do you have something to say to the widow? Come, come to the widow."

Yun Zhen walked up to Qi Guang obediently.

This time, without waiting for Qi Guang's order, Yun Zhen automatically squatted down and stretched out his head.

Qi Guang was startled for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.

She stretched out her hand to touch his head, and then pinched the roots of his ears. The reddish ears instantly turned red.Qi Guang was in a happy mood and said, "Yun Zhen, you are different today, but do you want something from me?"

Yun Zhen said: "I...I also want to go out to play with His Majesty in the palace."

Qi Guangdao: "It turns out that you are fond of playing, but it is true. You are only fifteen, and it is only natural that you are fond of playing." She suddenly thought of Qi Xuan. He always showed a respectful look to her.

She looked at Yun Zhen again, and suddenly said with a smile: "Okay, I will agree to you. In a few days, I will go to see the sixth prince of your Great Wei. It happens that you are also from Wei, so go with me." Qi Guang asked Yun Zhen dressed up as a servant and followed Jiang Dezhong.

If old man Qin knew that she was going to visit the sixth prince and brought a man there from Nanfengxuan in the palace, there would definitely be nagging.Jiang Dezhong knew that Qi Guang was a little special to Yun Zhen, a young man, so he treated Yun Zhen very kindly, taking care of him everywhere on the way to the Prince's Mansion.

The sixth prince had already heard the news that the emperor was coming, so he led everyone in the mansion to wait by the door early in the morning.

About half an hour later, Rong Zheng saw the emperor's guard of honor.

Jiang Dezhong helped Qi Guang get off the carriage.

Rong Zheng knelt on the ground.

"Rong Zheng pays homage to His Majesty, and may His Majesty be blessed and safe."

Qi Guang only saw the back of his head, and immediately felt itchy, he hurriedly said: "The sixth prince is sick, so there is no need to be polite, get up quickly." After finishing speaking, she felt that her tone seemed too urgent, Looking sideways at Lu Li, he saw his eyes downcast, his expression gloomy.

She felt guilty, coughed heavily, and said solemnly: "It's windy outside, let's go in."

Rong Zheng responded and stood up slowly.

She took a closer look and was immediately disappointed.Chen Nanzhu's eyeballs must have been clouded with dust. The sixth prince had a good name and an ordinary appearance. All the servants in Nanfengxuan were prettier than him.Thinking of the rumor that Rong Zheng's mother was a peerless beauty, Qi Guang felt more and more unbelievable.

After entering the mansion, Qi Guang also had little interest. He sat on the main seat and drank tea, looked at Luli, Yunzhen and Jiang Dezhong.Lu Li coughed lightly, and Qi Guang finally remembered the business.

She said: "Jiang Dezhong, both you and Yun Zhen should step back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jiang Dezhong took Yun Zhen out of the main house, and soon there were only Qi Guang, Lu Li, and Rong Zheng left in the house.Qi Guangzhiyi looked at Rong Zheng carefully again. He looked up, down, left, right, left, right, and right. He still didn't understand why a beauty like Chen Nanzhu fell in love with a sick person.

Rong Zheng lowered his eyes, not daring to take a breath.

Lu Li lowered his voice and whispered in Qi Guang's ear: "Your Majesty, if you don't speak again, the Sixth Prince will probably faint from your fright."

Qi Guang glanced again, only to find that Rong Zheng was covered in cold sweat.

She finally opened her mouth and said, "Do you know a girl named Chen?"

Rong Zheng was taken aback.

Qi Guang knew him from his appearance, so he cut to the chase and said, "Do you like her?"

His complexion changed, he took a quick look at Qi Guang, and hurriedly said: "Rong Zheng doesn't have any ideas."

"That's why I don't like it."

Lu Li said: "Since the sixth prince doesn't like Miss Chen, the marriage can't be forced."

"Yes, marriage can't be forced." Qi Guang yawned, and said, "Rong Zheng, take good care of your health. After you recover from illness, if you want to go back to Dawei Widow, someone will send you back. But at this time, Dawei Wei Zhanluan, it's not safe to go all the way back. You should stay for a few more years."

"Rong Zheng understands."

"It's good that you understand, it's getting late, and the widow should go back to the palace." Qi Guang summoned Jiang Dezhong and ordered: "Send your car back to the palace." After a pause, she looked around and said: " What about Yun Zhen?"

Jiang Dezhong said: "If you avoid it, Mr. Yun just said that he needs to go to the toilet, and it's already time for two sticks of incense."

Qi Guang said: "Go and find him." After speaking, Qi Guang said to Lu Li again: "When my widow came in, I saw a beautiful view over the rockery. You and my widow go have a look."

The two left the main house and headed east.

On the way, Lu Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty treats Yun Zhen well."

Qi Guang said: "When I see him, I always think of my younger brother, but Yun Zhen is really well-behaved." He is like her cat and also like her brother when she was a child, so she naturally treats him special.

Lu Li smiled and didn't speak again.

When walking to the rockery, Qi Guang said: "I never thought that there would be such a capable person in Rong Zheng's mansion, the care is not inferior to the one in the palace, and the layout is quite ingenious."

Suddenly, Qi Guang found a pot of strange flowers under the rock, which she had never seen before.

"What kind of flower is this? It looks so unique."

About the size of a palm, the color is smoky purple, and its shape resembles an open and closed mouth, but the tongue coating is light yellow, clustered together.There is a faint fragrance, like peony or peony.

Lu Li said: "This is Ziqin, a common flower species in the Great Wei Dynasty. It is extremely difficult to survive in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I didn't expect that there would be someone capable of planting Ziqin alive in the sixth prince's mansion."

Qi Guang looked at it a few more times, but she wasn't very interested. She smiled and said, "Jing Heng is really well-informed."

Lu Li said: "Your Majesty is absurd. It just so happens that Jing Heng reads a lot of miscellaneous books, and it happens that there are records in the book. Jing Heng paid more attention to it when he saw that it was born special."

Qi Guang said: "That's because you have a good memory."

Before the words fell, there were hurried footsteps.Qi Guang raised his eyes and saw Jiang Dezhong and Yun Zhen with his head down.I just heard Jiang Dezhong say: "Your Majesty, this servant saw Mr. Yun sneaking into a courtyard, looked around, and tried to break into the house."

Qi Guang couldn't help frowning.

"Yun Zhen, what's going on?"

Yun Zhen said: "No, I... I just want to see what's inside, I don't have any malicious intentions, and I don't have any intentions."

Jiang Dezhong said: "Your Majesty, this servant really saw him sneaking around just now."

Yun Zhen hurriedly said, "I... I'm just curious."

Seeing how he remembered his flushed face, Qi Guang waved his hands and said, "I trust you, it's normal to be curious. At your age, I'm also very curious. You don't have to quarrel."

"Yes."

Qi Guang said again: "Send your car back to the palace."
