Xie Yan threw Xie Chengyou back to Prince Mu's Mansion. No, it was the matter at Prince Mu An's Mansion that caused a lot of discussion in the imperial city.
After all, it was at this sensitive time that the Prince Regent's Palace was about to get married to the Luo family, but then abandoned their adopted son. It is inevitable that people would think that there is a great relationship between the two.
Many people even think that Xie Yan did this to win over the Luo family or because of pressure from the Luo family.
For a time, many people sympathized with Xie Chengyou.
His father wanted to marry the girl he had been entangled with before, and now he kicked them out.
Mr. Xuan Yu is a little miserable.
However, these people did not know how Xie Yan was threatened with his own life by his own mother when the internal situation was unstable, the Qi tribe invaded from the outside, and he was in trouble both internally and externally.
If Xie Yan hadn't been in a hurry to lead troops to the border and had no time to pay attention to Princess Mu's unreasonable troubles, Xie Chengyou's adoption would not have happened at all. Or if Xie Chengyou had been more ruthless, there would be no Xie Heng in the world now.
Easy to say.
At that time, he had just killed several members of the royal family, and he really wanted to add a few more.
Now Xie Yan doesn't mind people thinking that he drove Xie Chengyou away because of the Luo family girl. If some people are destined to be unable to hide, then everyone should know that this person cannot be messed with.
After a few words, he dismissed Prince Ning, who had come to act as a good old man and to inquire about information. Xie Yan threw the book aside and sneered.
Princess Changling came out of the inner room and said, "Uncle Ning, are you here to persuade him to make peace? When did his relationship with Uncle Mu become so good?" These two have never been at odds since they were young.
Xie Yan said calmly: "It's just a test, don't ignore it."
Princess Changling walked to the side and sat down, saying, "I'm afraid he won't be happy to see you marry a girl from the Luo family."
"How many of you are happy here?"
Princess Changling was startled and couldn't help but laugh, "You are right."
The marriage between the Luo family and the regent's palace means that two-thirds of Dasheng's elite troops are in their hands. In addition, Xie Yan is also the regent personally appointed by the late emperor. If he did not absolutely believe in Zhifei's character, I am afraid that
Even she would be suspicious.
"Well, you still have to handle these matters yourself." Princess Changling said with a smile, "Now that we see that you are getting married, my mother and I can feel relieved. Aunt Taihua asked me to tell you that the betrothal gift has been prepared.
It’s almost done. If there is anything extra you want to add, you can decide by yourself.”
Xie Yan's expression was rare and gentle, he nodded and said: "I know, the emperor and my aunt have worked hard these past two days."
Princess Changling leaned on the armrest and said with a smile: "It's not hard for us. The people in your house are very capable and don't have many things to do. If it were an ordinary family, how could the betrothal gift be prepared in just a few days?
"
This is true. It usually takes a lot of work for ordinary people to prepare betrothal gifts. But the Regent's Palace is Xie Yan's boss, and the management in the palace is extremely efficient.
In the palace, Princess Taihua and Princess Changling drafted a betrothal gift list with the Empress Dowager and handed it to the manager of the mansion. The manager directly opened the door of the treasury, moved out the items one by one according to the list, and placed them in an empty courtyard.
That’s it.
Even if there is something that is not available in the house at the moment, it only takes a day or two to buy it.
Not to mention, the manager of the palace has gained the favor of the Empress Dowager in recent years, and has been preparing big things for his prince to hire in the future. Except for some things that are new or cannot be stored for a long time, there are really not many things that need to be purchased immediately.
thing.
Princess Changling smiled and said: "Qin Tianjian has chosen an auspicious day. It will be a good day in two days. Then we will come to recruit people. How about it?"
"Very good." Xie Yan nodded.
Princess Changling looked at him with a hint of teasing, "So you are also anxious sometimes? Zhifei, I remember you didn't have such an attitude before?"
"Sister Huang..." Xie Yan was a little helpless.
Princess Changling knew the character of her cousin, so she stopped teasing him and said seriously: "It would be better if the marriage is decided early, everyone can rest assured. I'm afraid there are not a few people in the imperial city who hope that this marriage will not happen. You
You have to have an idea in your mind."
Xie Yan frowned slightly. He naturally knew how many people secretly did not want to see this marriage.
But what can Princess Changling remind her personally...
Princess Changling sighed and said: "Yesterday the Queen Mother summoned me to the palace to speak. She said in her words that I should not arrange your marriage behind her back."
In this regard, Princess Changling expressed that she was very unjust.
If she had the ability to win over her cousin, her nephew would be able to go to school now.
Xie Yan's eyes darkened slightly, and Princess Changling quickly advised her: "The emperor's sister-in-law has been a little troubled in the past two years...don't blame her. Ah Cheng is still young, so she is probably very uneasy in her heart."
Princess Changling had never liked her sister-in-law, who was widowed at such a young age, but she understood her somewhat.
There is a young Queen Mother, a young emperor who is still far away from taking over the throne, and a regent who is in his prime with a strong military position and high authority. She can also guess what worries the Queen Mother will have in her heart.
Xie Yan lowered his eyes and thought about something. Princess Changling said: "I'm afraid the Zhu family still hasn't stopped thinking about giving the girl to you. You just have to know it yourself."
Xie Yan said: "I know, Sister Huang, don't worry."
Princess Changling smiled and said, "You never make people worry when you do things. I'm afraid that if they don't know what to do and hurt the Luo girl, then... it will be a big mess."
Xie Yan said solemnly: "If they don't know what to measure, I will teach them what it means."
Princess Changling nodded, "Forget it, let's finish the appointment first. By the way, why haven't you seen Zizhen in the past few days?"
Wei Changting usually likes to run around and join in the fun, but now that Xie Yan's marriage is such a big event, he has not been seen at all. When Princess Changling came back to her senses, she was still not used to it.
Xie Yan said calmly: "I asked him to go to Jiazhou for business."
"Jiazhou?" Princess Changling frowned, thinking that maybe something important had changed and stopped asking in detail, "If Zizhen is not here, wouldn't there be no one around you?"
Although Wei Changting looks unreliable, his ability is not bad. Most of Xie Yan's close subordinates have stayed at the border. After all, the hundreds of thousands of national troops still need people to guard them.
In this case, wouldn’t there be no one available around me?
Xie Yan said: "It doesn't matter, Gu Jue is here."
"That's good." Princess Changling had heard of Gu Jue's name and had met him twice but wasn't very familiar with him, so she didn't ask any more questions.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the Prince Regent's Palace went to the Luo family to hire people. In the early morning, people in Yonghuang City saw the team of the Prince Regent's Palace soldiers heading towards the Luo family in a mighty manner.
The two families actually lived not far apart. After all, they were among the most important ministers in the court, so the place they lived in was naturally one of the best in the inner city.
Therefore, the team hired by the Prince Regent's Mansion had already entered the Luo Family Gate, but the rear had not yet exited the Gate of the Prince Regent's Mansion.
Although it was just a low-level appointment, it also attracted countless people from Shangyong to watch.
Both sides of the street were almost packed with people, as if it was some kind of festive festival.
People gathered around the Luo Mansion looked at the regent who was riding in, wearing a purple cloud-patterned brocade dress, a jade belt around his waist, gilded hair tied in a crown, and his handsome face seemed a little warmer than in the past.
meaning.
In people's eyes, there is still a majesty and a seemingly innate nobility that people dare not look at, but it is a bit more graceful and noble than the coldness and sharpness of the past. It is vaguely reminiscent of just six or seven years ago.
This is still the most dazzling royal noble son of Shang Yong, a future general who has high hopes for two generations of emperors, and the dream girl of countless noble ladies of Shang Yong.
It was just that rebellion that changed the memories of so many people. From then on, the minds of countless people seemed to be covered with a layer of blood when they thought of this man.
Among the crowd, there were young girls who couldn't help but cover their pounding hearts and didn't dare to look any further.
The horse stopped steadily at the gate of Luo Mansion, and the flying man in purple robe had fallen to the ground.
Xie Yan glanced at the people watching who refused to disperse, then turned and walked towards the Luo family's gate.
The Luo family had opened the front door, and brothers Luo Jinyan and Luo Jinxing came out to welcome them.
The two parties chatted softly for a few words, and then Luo Jinyan invited Xie Yan to step into the gate of Luo Mansion together.
It wasn't until their figures disappeared at the door that the originally quiet Luo family gate became lively again.
"Is this really an appointment? Is the Luo family really planning to marry the regent?" Someone murmured, still in disbelief.
There was also a girl who was a little braver, her face turned red with embarrassment, she covered her heart and whispered: "I didn't expect that His Highness the Regent would be so handsome and handsome."
Seeing the boxes of betrothal gifts entering the Luo Mansion one after another, people dispersed in twos and threes, but they were still talking.
They talked about how generous the betrothal gift from the Regent's Palace was, and how the Luo family would marry off their daughter with a lot of money in the future.
The girls gathered together and whispered about whether Miss Luo and the regent were a good match.
In the past few days, the topic in Shangyong, whether it was high-ranking officials or ordinary people, was bound to be the marriage between the Regent's Palace and the Luo family.
