The news that the King of the West was going to marry Miss Li Xueyun, the only daughter of the prime minister's house, soon spread in the capital.
Ximenzhe in the study room of Xiwangfu looked at a folder in his hand, which was a message given to him by his subordinates.
It has been five years since the incident. It was only now that the clues emerged as to whether God was playing tricks on him.
At that time, the people searching for Mrs. Peach Blossom and the people searching for Zuo Qiuran were divided into two groups. Zuo Qiuran had no news about Mrs. Peach Blossom, and there were no clues about Mrs. Peach Blossom. However, Ximenzhe was not very interested in Mrs. Peach Blossom who had been killed by him, so it didn't matter. Asking [
He didn't want clues to come out when he was preparing to marry Li Xueyun.
Ximenzhe should have thought that Mrs. Peach Blossom was just a name made up by the woman in purple because it was a pseudonym, so it was difficult to find her. Ximenzhe only regarded her as a wild womanizer who knew how to have fun, so he didn't care. Qiu Ran specially drew her likeness like that. He didn't want more people to know that he was poisoned, so he kept the matter of Mrs. Taohua in the dark. As a result, the matter was delayed for five years.
The latest news I got is that I overheard from the children who grew up in the Guandi Temple that someone said that they saw Sister Xueyun chatting with the purple-clothed woman who gave Xing'er poisonous fruit because the purple-clothed woman The child who wanted to harm the King of the West was afraid of causing harm to Li Xueyun, so he never told what he had seen. Now that five years had passed and the news had disappeared, he couldn't help but talk about the old things. As a result, he was discovered by Ximen Zhe's subordinates.
I remember that Li Xueyun never said that she knew the purple-clothed woman. She was able to take Xing'er to the West Prince's Mansion to identify the purple-clothed woman but did not explain the matter with the purple-clothed woman herself. This only shows that she has something evil in her heart and just wants to recruit the purple-clothed woman. But I don't want to get into any trouble. If she behaves properly, why should she be afraid of this?
After going around and around, it still ended up with Li Xueyun.
"What does the prince want to do with his subordinates?" Mo Qinghan received Ximenzhe's summons and came to the West Prince's Mansion.
"In order to show my sincerity, I have decided to be engaged to Miss Xueyun like the common people before officially accepting my concubine," Ximen Zhe said as he put away the book in his hand.
"Engagement" Mo Qinghan was slightly surprised. He thought he was familiar with Ximen Zhe and knew that the King of the West was always straightforward in doing things. But he seemed to be procrastinating on the matter of getting a concubine. Since he has chosen the princess, why not just ask for the marriage and get married? Why go to such trouble? This should be related to Does it have to do with sincerity?
"My lord, what is your purpose?" Mo Qinghan asked
Ximenzhe raised his eyes and glanced at Mo Qinghan. Mr. Mo is really smart and worthy of being his capable subordinate. "First, organize a grand engagement ceremony to announce to the world that the king will accept Li Xueyun as his concubine."
As soon as Ximenzhe's tone changed, Mo Qinghan confirmed his guess that things were not simple.
"Then try to destroy the engagement ceremony," Ximenzhe continued.
"Ah" Mo Qinghan didn't understand.
"I first said that I wanted to marry her, but some of her behaviors made me less determined to marry her, so I decided to postpone the wedding for a few more days," Ximenzhe said lazily while leaning on the back of his chair.
It seems that his intuition five years ago was right. He was not wronged. Li Xueyun. Li Xueyun was very smart and did not attack the Prime Minister's Mansion. Instead, he chose the group of children in Guandi Temple to remain unnoticed. When they saw her, they immediately suspected her. After letting Mrs. Peach Blossom appear and disturb her vision, she didn't take any action for five years. She was afraid and became cautious.
In fact, it is not that Li Xueyun has done nothing in the past five years. There are so many noble ladies in the capital who have not left the cabinet. She is the only one who can get close to him. It cannot but be said that she and the Prime Minister have not done anything among them.
A game can wait for five years. If it is placed in a confrontation between the two armies, Li Xueyun is also a stable soldier.
Did she think that what she wanted could be obtained in five years? Her initial calculation could be obliterated by five years of silence. Five years of forbearance could be exchanged for the highest status. She thought that she could really win with certainty.
"I am following your orders," Mo Qinghan said with cupped hands. He had known for a long time that the King of the West had his heart for Li Xueyun. Otherwise, how could he have maintained a stalemate for five years before he relaxed. Now it seems that Li Xueyun's smooth marriage into the King of the West is still a long way off [
After five years of energy consumption, is it because Li Xueyun loves the King of the West too much or the Prime Minister's Mansion is too confident in the marriage with the King of the West?
Everyone had no objection to King Xi's intention to get engaged first. Although it was somewhat different from the rules in the palace, King Xi's experience itself was different from that of other princes. Emperor Ximen Hao did not have any involvement in his marriage and allowed him to make his decision.
"What is the King of the West planning?" Li Chengyi in the Prime Minister's Mansion couldn't help but wonder if he wanted to take the concubine directly. Why go to such trouble? Such sincerity is far inferior to the refreshing feeling of directly marrying Li Xueyun with one sentence.
What Li Xueyun wants is the title of the Princess of the West. She doesn't care whether these are grand foreplays. If we talk about foreplays, Li Xueyun has been singing it for five years.
"It's probably because the King of the West is used to being single and is not used to it, so he used the engagement ceremony to slow things down first," Li Xueyun said. Anyway, after the engagement, she was the established Princess of the West and had reason to officially propose the wedding date.
"Xue Yun, do you think this wait is really worth it?" Li Chengyi watched his daughter wait from nineteen to twenty-four and become an old girl who has not left the court.
"Isn't this already the result?" Li Xueyun said, "Ever since King Xi returned home and rode through the official road of the capital, I fell in love with him at the first sight. When I was eighteen years old, I secretly swore that no matter what happened, I will marry him as my concubine. Everything I have done is worth it."
"The emperor refused to fill the harem and only allowed one woman for the queen. If the king of the west allowed it, there would not be many women in the king's palace. I hope you can use these five good years to exchange for happiness in the future." Li Chengdao
"Dad, don't worry, my daughter will hold onto her happiness tightly for five years and won't let other women get involved in the next five years." Li Xueyun said with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes, "If anyone blocks my He said that I will get rid of not only the few women in the West Prince's Mansion, but also the second one after me, Li Xueyun."
When the day came for Ximen Zhe and Li Xueyun to get engaged, the ceremony was held in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The King of the West came to the door in person to deliver valuable wedding gifts. In order to show the grandeur, Ximen Zhe also brought a theater troupe to sing a big opera in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The main entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion is wide open, and people can crowd in and watch the plays performed on the stage set up in the courtyard.
"Look how cute that child is," the theatergoers pointed at the little character on the stage and praised.
