The news that the Sixth Prince went to General Pingnan's Mansion to propose marriage finally reached the ears of Emperor Tianwu, and it was Zhang Yuan who told him.
The old emperor was a little unhappy, "What's the matter? Now these guys want to get married without my consent? Whoever they want to marry should be married by me, shouldn't they? I'm not dead yet, so they have to do it themselves.
Did you make the decision?"
Zhang Yuan was helpless: "Can we still let people have a good relationship? His Highness the Sixth Prince said that the emperor granted marriage, which always feels a bit forced. If you go and ask for it yourself, it will be more reliable!" As he said that, he put his hand in his hand.
He took out two playing cards and threw them into the middle: "Three sevens and one six." This is the game Feng Yuheng taught them, called Doudizhu. Of course, Doudizhu requires three people to play, so in another position
Sitting there is Concubine Yun.
Concubine Yun glanced at the cards played by Zhang Yuan and threw out her own: "Three nines and one seven." After playing the cards, she kicked Emperor Tianwu very naturally: "It's your turn! Why are there so many nonsense?
How old are the children, and you can’t make the decision when you get married? I’m waiting for you to give me advice on marriage. You don’t even understand your own marriage, so you dare to give advice to your children? Stop cheating! General Pingnan’s family has many daughters.
Okay! With both civil and military talents, what is not worthy of your son? No matter in appearance, conduct or family background, he is a perfect match for your son, so just have fun secretly, why are you so coquettish? Hurry up and show your cards."
Emperor Tianwu groaned and looked at the cards in his hand: "I can't afford it."
Zhang Yuan quickly chased and threw another one: "Three tens and one six." Emperor Tianwu gave him a sharp look.
"It's no use glaring at me." Zhang Yuan especially agreed with Concubine Yun: "The empress is right, your highnesses should make their own decisions about their marriages. Concubine Yu also said that people should still fall in love freely, that way they can live a happy life.
It takes a long time for husband and wife to be harmonious." He gave the old emperor an example: "For example, before you met Concubine Yun, did you know what love was? Do you regret not living according to your own wishes? Marrying in a muddle-headed way
Having so many wives and concubines, in the end, it is not a trap for himself. Therefore, His Highness the Sixth Prince's move is very wise. He promised the eldest daughter of the Ren family to be the only one for the rest of his life. The future monarch will take the lead in harmonious marriage and set an example for everyone in the world.
So what, my dear, do you want me? If you don’t want me to be a slave, I’ll have to play my cards again.”
"No, come out." Concubine Yun answered neatly. After she answered, she wiped her face with wrinkles on her face. "It's really annoying. I have to ask Ah Heng to come to the palace tomorrow.
Gong wants to take a look at Hua'er, she will definitely find a way."
Emperor Tianwu blinked. He agreed with this. He also wanted to see his son. Although he knew that Hua'er was not dead, he kept thinking about it and could not let it go. "Xiao Yuanzi, let Lao Jiu and the others enter the palace tomorrow.
Come here, Pianpian, you seem to have finished your medicine soon."
That night, the sixth prince also came to Emperor Tianwu in person and told Emperor Tianwu about his proposed marriage at General Pingnan's Mansion. Although the old emperor was a little unhappy that he would behead him first and then tell the story later, he looked at the sixth son who clearly yearned for poetry and books for
Dashun, for the sake of the world, has to shoulder the burden of supervising the country, so he can't say those angry words no matter what.
In the end, he still sent his blessing. After all, the daughter of General Pingnan's family was really worthy of his son, and he was very satisfied. Originally, what he was most worried about was that the woman in the back position would rely on the mother clan to develop her own power.
Therefore, in all dynasties, the emperor was very cautious in choosing the queen. Now, the sixth son he wanted to pass on to the throne chose the daughter of General Pingnan's house. Emperor Tianwu could finally let go of his heart.
After coming out of Emperor Tianwu's place, Sun Rang said: "While the adults are focusing on the engagement of His Highness these days, there are not many political issues. You should rest more and go to bed early."
But Xuan Tianfeng shook his head, turned around and walked in the opposite direction to Qiankun Palace, "Betrothal is a big deal. If you report it to your father, you have to tell your mother."
Sun Rang frowned when he heard that Xuan Tianfeng was going to see Lady Li. Even though he didn't want to go to Jingsi Palace, he couldn't stop him. After all, the sixth prince lived there.
Mother. But, Sun Rang thought, Na Li is such an incompetent mother. Every time His Highness the Sixth Highness passes by, he always comes back very angry. Such a good-tempered Highness can be so angry with her that he stays up all night long.
I couldn't sleep, I really don't know what a mother is thinking.
Today's Jingsi Palace is getting deserted day by day. Lady Li set up a small Buddhist hall in the Jingsi Palace, and shut herself in the hall all day long, neither chanting sutras nor paying attention to the Buddha.
I would bring a chair and sit there for the whole day. Sometimes when it got dark, I would have to force Zuo'er to get the person out.
When Xuan Tianfeng arrived, Li Guiren was still in the Buddhist hall. He called several times outside the door, but no one inside responded. When he pushed the door again, it was locked on the inside.
Zuo Er said helplessly to him: "Your Highness has always been like this. If His Highness had not come, it would be time to come out now. Most likely she is angry with His Highness! Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty still wants to leave Jingsi Palace, maybe you can promise her
I usually go out for a walk, just go to the garden, I am really afraid that if you continue like this, you will become depressed and become ill!"
Xuan Tianfeng sighed softly, Zuo'er understood this truth, so why didn't he understand it? But this is his mother! Once she comes out of Jingsi Palace, I'm afraid there will be another storm in this palace. He thought
After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand to cover the door and said to the person inside: "Son, you can let your mother stop talking about this Jingsi Palace and just ask your mother, are you willing to leave the palace and move to Prince Xian's Mansion? Concubines in the harem
It has long been clear that your existence is dead. No matter how many people want to leave, they can't leave. Your son is now in charge of the country, which can be regarded as a bit of face in front of your father. If your mother is willing, your son will take you to Prince Xian's Mansion. From now on
, in such a big capital city or even in such a big world, you can go wherever you want."
"I'm not going anywhere! I'm in the palace." Inside, Li Guiren's voice finally came, "I am the emperor's woman, why should I leave my home?"
Xuan Tianfeng was helpless, what kind of home was this? Even his father himself said this was not a home, so why didn't his mother understand?
Zuo'er shook his head slightly at him, indicating that no one could convince Li Guiren on this topic.
Xuan Tianfeng also understood this truth, so he changed the subject and said to the people inside: "Mother, my son came here today because he has a happy event to tell you. My son is engaged to the concubine of General Pingnan's residence.
After changing the Geng family and passing the Da Bein, we are waiting for the father to choose a date to get married. Mother, I don’t know if you have any impression of the young lady of the Ren family. She is a very good girl, elegant and versatile, and her
The mother clan is also the most loyal supporter of Dashun, she..."
"Shut up!" Li Gui inside got angry, suddenly opened the door, pointed at Xuan Tianfeng and said loudly: "If you marry her, don't call me mother again! I don't have a son like you!
"
Xuan Tianfeng was stunned, and then he remembered that Ren Xifeng came to dissuade Li Gui from jumping into the river. It seemed that... the method was not very gentle. He had no choice but to persuade again: "She was doing it for your own good at that time. She was a kind-hearted person.
Girl, my son always thought that his mother could understand."
"I don't understand!" Li Guiren said loudly, "I just don't agree! If you insist on marrying her, I will crash to death in front of you!"
Seeing that the mother and son were in a stalemate again, Zuo Er quickly reconciled the situation and heard her say to Li Gui: "Master, this is not the final decision of His Highness the Sixth Prince. The princes have always been given marriages by the emperor, how can they say it themselves?
You have to calculate it!" He said, secretly winking at Xuan Tianfeng.
Xuan Tianfeng actually didn't want to lie to Lady Li, but he also understood that if his mother's anger was aroused, something would happen again. So he had no choice but to nod his head as an admission.
Zuo Er said again: "Master, it is reasonable for the emperor to grant a marriage like this. After all, General Pingnan's Mansion is a wealthy family, and he is a general who guards the country. Considering the future prospects of our Sixth Highness, there is no queen with such a background.
How can it be done around you! So Master, this marriage is out of overall consideration and for the sake of Dashun. Master, please don’t worry about it. In this position, His Highness the Sixth Prince, this kind of thing is no longer something he can have the final say on.
.”
Li Guiren also understood Zuo Er's analysis. Yes, the emperor had the final say on the prince's marriage, but she was really unwilling to let her son marry that woman. Li Guiren couldn't help but hold this tone in her heart.
When she came, her face was red from suppressing it. Zuo'er kept helping her along her back and persuading her, but Li Guiren suddenly had a thought in her mind. She stared at Zuo'er for a long time, and then said to Xuan Tianfeng: "Since the princess, you
If you can't make the decision yourself, then your father can't control the concubines and concubines, right?" After saying that, he pushed Zuo'er forward and said, "Marry her back and become a concubine. My son must always have someone of mine by his side."
"Master, this..." Zuo'er was startled, and was about to retort, but she swallowed the words when they reached her lips, and turned into two red clouds covering her cheeks. There was that person in her heart
, but her status is too low to reach a high level. Now Li Guiren wants to give her to His Highness the Sixth Highness to be a concubine, and Zuo'er doesn't want to lose this great opportunity. What's more, His Highness the Sixth Highness is now the prince, and may be the emperor in the near future.
, she was married as a concubine, and when the sixth prince ascends the throne, she will be the imperial concubine. Her status and status will be different at once, and her destiny will be completely changed from then on.
Zuo'er's mind was racing, and he couldn't hide his excitement. He just didn't dare to raise his head to look at His Highness, for fear that his face would turn red and bleed.
Xuan Tianfeng didn't expect that Li Guiren would have such an idea. He looked at his mother in confusion, and after a while, he asked: "This maid has served you with all her heart. I thought she should be trained after all these years."
Showing some feelings of master and servant. But I didn’t expect that my mother’s heart would be so ruthless.”
Li Guiren was puzzled, "I gave her the position of imperial concubine, how could she become ruthless?"
Xuan Tianfeng shook his head, "You have suffered the sins in your life, do you want her to suffer them again?" He looked at Zuo'er, saw the shy look on Zuo'er's face, and sighed in his heart, "Zuo'er, look at it.
These concubines in the palace, let’s look at your master, are you still willing to be my concubine?”
"Don't bewitch her!" Li Guiren said, "The reason why I ended up like this is because of Concubine Yun, because your father only loves that woman, but you are different!"
"There is no difference." Xuan Tianfeng said solemnly: "Since I want to marry, I will promise her that I will be alone for the rest of my life, and that no other woman will appear after her."
