"I wonder what the father's instructions were for calling his daughter here?" Song Wan'er's attitude was somewhat distant and indifferent, which surprised Duke Ding Guo.
"Isn't your wedding date set? I heard from your mother that she is preparing a dowry for you." Duke Dingguo said with some difficulty.
"Father, that's right." He still had an indifferent look on his face, which made Duke Ding a little annoyed, but he knew that now was not the time for him to get angry, so he had to force himself to suppress the anger in his heart and try his best to keep his voice
It sounds milder.
"Wan'er, when you get married, has your mother made any arrangements for you about taking a concubine?"
"Father, I'm afraid I have to ask my mother about this. My daughter doesn't know." Song Wan'er was a little confused for a moment. She didn't understand why her father called her here. What was the important matter?
"Wan'er, in the past two years as a father in the court, everything has not been smooth. Fortunately, you have two brothers to help. Even so, our Dingguo Palace has been declining day by day in the past two years. Otherwise,
With your status as the legitimate daughter of the Duke's palace, you are qualified to be a princess. How could you marry a young master from a general's palace? She doesn't even have a title!"
"Father, the marriage has been arranged, and General Li is considered a brave young man. According to rumors from outside, he is also highly valued by the emperor. Is it inappropriate if my father regrets the marriage now?" Song Wan'er thought that her father disliked Li Bing.
That's why I thought of breaking off the engagement.
"How could it be? My father thinks that Li Bing is quite good! If it weren't for the fact that he is favored by the emperor, why would my father agree to marry him?"
Song Wan'er lowered her eyebrows and said nothing. In fact, it was because her father didn't care about her at all, right? There was only one Song Qiao in his eyes, and the other children were nothing in his eyes! Even the two brothers were nothing more than Song Qiao.
I barely get a few compliments from him occasionally. Now that I say this, do you really think she will believe it?
"Wan'er, you are also seventeen this year, and you will get married in a few months. Our Song family is a big family, but currently we only have the father's lineage, which is relatively prosperous. Now your two brothers
, and they may not be highly valued by the emperor. Although he has an official position, he is just someone with no real power. Although Li Bing does not have a title, he does have real power. Moreover, I heard that he left with King Rui.
It’s very close, and it’s also very popular with King Rui. In the future, rapid success is inevitable!”
"Father, you might as well say it directly." Song Wan'er couldn't help it anymore. What did he want to say?
Duke Dingguo looked a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly, lowered his head slightly, and said with a guilty conscience, "Didn't I tell you as a father, this Li Bing will definitely have a bright future in the future. At the moment, it seems that he has reached a high level."
In our family, in fact, this may not be the case. Wan'er, these words should have been said by your mother, but she is also too honest sometimes."
Turning around, Duke Dingguo still seemed to have not figured out how to speak.
"Wan'er, my father has already arranged this concubine matter for you. You don't have to worry anymore. From now on, when you are in the same house, you have to take care of each other. At least, she is your sister, so she must be
It won't harm you. On the contrary, it will help you deal with some outsiders. You can rest assured about this."
There was some disbelief on Song Wan'er's face, "Father, could you make what you just said more clear? My daughter didn't understand it very well."
Seeing this, Duke Dingguo straightened up his chest and raised his head, and said with a serious face, "My father said yes, let Qiaoer marry you into General Weiyuan's mansion as your concubine."
"What?" Song Wan'er's eyes widened. She was sure that she heard correctly. Her father actually asked Song Qiao to marry her as Teng's concubine. What is this? Is this an insult to herself or to Wei?
The humiliation of General Yuan’s Mansion? Who in Beijing doesn’t know that Song Qiao was exposed by a guard? His father actually had this idea in mind. He is really a rare and good father!
Song Wan'er chuckled twice, and the mockery in her laughter was not concealed at all, "Father, my daughter does not agree!"
"Don't agree? What do you have to disagree? Qiao'er is prettier than you, and is better than you in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If it weren't for this incident, do you think Qiao'er can like that Li Bing? It's simply
It’s just a joke!” Duke Dingguo said with disapproval.
Ha? Song Wan'er is really speechless! What is this? In the eyes of her father, should Song Qiao be given to a powerful person like Prince Rui as a concubine? Song Qiao doesn't like people, but she doesn't care about them.
What does this mean? Are you laughing at yourself because you have no vision?
"Father, you also know what happened to Song Qiao! Where is General Weiyuan's Mansion? Father, that is not an ordinary military commander's home! Don't forget, Li Bing is Su Xiyue's cousin.
Also, although General Weiyuan is now stationed in Beijing, the emperor has not taken back the military power he holds! Don’t you understand what this means? Although he does not have a title, it is not nice to say that he
In the eyes of the emperor and the dignitaries in the capital, they now have more status than you, Duke Dingguo!"
"Presumptuous!" Duke Dingguo was furious! "This is simply unreasonable! Is this how your mother taught you? She just asked your sister to accompany you to get married together. What's there to be embarrassed about? Or do you think your sister is casual?
Did you feel wronged by getting married?"
Seeing her father looking at her with disgust, Song Wan'er's heart felt as if someone had pinched her heart hard. It hurt so much that she almost shed tears! This is her father! She is really
I have doubts about how he has been able to live a good life in the position of Duke Ding all these years!
"Father, no matter what, my daughter will not agree. You should let your aunt and sister give up on this!"
"You! You rebellious girl!" Dingguo Gong's face turned red with anger. Originally, it was inappropriate for him as a father to say such things, but he had discussed it with his wife and she didn't agree, so there was nothing he could do.
.
When he saw his concubine and Qiaoer crying and crying in front of him, he was naturally distressed! Only then did he tell her in person. In fact, what he thought was simple, as long as Wan'er nodded, then his wife
There, it was easy to talk about it. But I didn’t expect that Song Wan’er would reject it right away!
Song Wan'er's words made Ding Guogong feel that he had lost all face and that his majesty as a father had been challenged! Naturally, he was filled with anger!
Looking at Song Wan'er with a stubborn face, Duke Ding didn't feel there was anything wrong with his actions at all! He just felt that this daughter was too ignorant and unfilial!
"Master, please don't be angry! Miss, please say something soft. Look, you've made me angry! This is extremely unfilial."
