Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Nine [Promotion] (Part 2)
Hu Xiaotian's expression changed when he heard this. He was really afraid of what would happen. He just mentioned this matter to his mother, and in the blink of an eye it had become a reality. He was sure that he heard correctly. Wu Jingshan was entrusted by the emperor. The old emperor was not
Because they were dissatisfied with the affairs of the Xu family in Jinling, why did they suddenly propose marriage to the Hu family? This old guy changed his face too quickly. Or is this old guy already aware of everything, and his current stupidity is just pretending?
The real intention is to support Qiqi and win the hearts of his subjects?
Xu Fengyi was shocked, but she remained calm on the surface: "Who is Mr. Wu proposing for?"
Wu Jingshan said with a smile: "The emperor entrusted me with this task to facilitate a happy marriage between Princess Yongyang and Commander Hu. Mr. Hu is young and promising, handsome, wise and courageous, while Princess Yongyang is in her prime, beautiful, well-educated, and smart. They
The two of them are truly a pair made in heaven!"
Xu Fengyi said: "Thanks to the emperor's attention, how can our Hu family be so favored by the emperor? It's just that our master is not at home. According to common sense, we need to inform him first."
Wu Jingshan said with a smile: "The emperor said that we need to ask Commander Hu about this matter first." What he said is equivalent to saying that Hu Buwei's opinion is not important, and the most important thing is Hu Xiaotian.
Xu Fengyi's beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed and her eyes turned to her son. She still needed her son to make decisions on important matters.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Mom, Mr. Wu is right. It is a matter of my life, so of course you should listen to my opinion more. Mom, why don't I have a chat with Mr. Wu alone."
Xu Fengyi nodded, stood up and said goodbye to Wu Jingshan, who stood up to see her off.
After Xu Fengyi left, Wu Jingshan raised his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations to brother Hu, congratulations to brother Hu." The emperor had to propose marriage. From now on, Hu Xiaotian will be the son-in-law of a wealthy family, and his career will be just around the corner. Wu Jingshan really admires Hu Xiaotian's luck.
The boy's life is really good. In the past, Ji Feihua protected him. Now that Ji Feihua has fallen, he has fallen in love with Princess Yongyang. Who doesn't know that the emperor has now handed over the affairs of the government to Princess Yongyang and named her Yongyang?
If Wang.Hu Xiaotian marries Princess Yongyang, it is very likely that he and Princess Yongyang will share the country in the future.
Hu Xiaotian chuckled: "Master Wu, don't make fun of me. Don't you know that my father was arrested by the court?"
Wu Jingshan smiled and said: "How is that possible?"
Hu Xiaotian knew that Wu Jingshan might not understand the inside story, so he did not continue to explain to him, and whispered: "Master Wu, tell me the truth, is it really the emperor who asked you to come here to propose marriage?"
Wu Jingshan said: "How could it be wrong? If the emperor hadn't spoken, how could I dare to make my own decision? I don't think I have a long life. How many heads can the emperor chop off?"
Hu Xiaotian asked: "What does Princess Yongyang mean?"
Wu Jingshan said: "I haven't seen the princess, so how can I know what she means? But since the emperor asked me to come to propose marriage, I must have informed the princess about this matter and obtained her approval."
Hu Xiaotian secretly wondered why Qiqi didn't say a word to him when he met Qiqi before. This little girl has hidden it deeply enough. But she is still a girl under fourteen years old. No matter how deep her intentions are, she can't.
It's impossible to be so calm and composed when encountering such a major marital event. Didn't she know about it at that time?
Hu Xiaotian guessed well, Qiqi had just learned about the marriage proposal. She found Long Xuanen immediately, with a little anger on her pretty face, and asked: "Your Majesty, why did you make the decision without permission and propose marriage to the Hu Mansion?
"
Long Xuan'en said: "Marriage is a major matter, and the parents order the matchmaker. There is nothing wrong with me raising it on your behalf."
Qiqi said angrily: "Why don't you ask for my opinion?"
Long Xuanen sighed and said: "You are not young anymore. Recently, there has been an endless stream of people asking for marriage. I have been thinking about it. Instead of letting people make a fuss about this matter, it is better to change the passive to active and choose
A man you like."
Hearing his words, Qi Qi frowned slightly at first, and then two rosy clouds flew up on her pretty face, and she muttered in a low voice: "What a wishful husband. How do you know what I think of you?"
Long Xuan'en said: "Do you think I am really old and confused? Your purpose of taking Hu Buwei and his wife away first was not to retaliate against them, but to worry that I would be angry with them because of the affairs of the Xu family in Jinling. On the surface, you wanted to take away Hu Buwei and his wife."
Their control is actually protecting them. I admit that I have some selfish motives in letting you get engaged to Hu Xiaotian."
Qiqi said: "You want to use my engagement with Hu Xiaotian to make the Hu family advance and retreat with us together, thereby linking the fate of the Xu family in Jinling to the great prosperity."
Long Xuanen nodded and said: "Exactly!"
Qiqi said: "Have you ever thought about what I would do if I didn't like Hu Xiaotian at all?"
Long Xuan'en said: "It's just an engagement now. The engagement contract is just a piece of paper. If you don't like him, you can kill him in the future." His eyes burst out with a cold light.
Qiqi shuddered in her heart. To them, the engagement contract was just a piece of paper that could be torn up at any time, but it had a very different meaning to the Hu family. It was like putting a tight spell on the Hu family, and Hu Bu was regarded as father and son.
He is too shrewd to see through their intentions. Hu Xiaotian shouldn't hate him because of this matter, right? Qiqi bit her lips and suddenly remembered, why should she care about his feelings? Wasn't she just treating him from the beginning?
The purpose of use must not be merciful.
Qiqi said: "You just said that someone is making a fuss about this matter. Who is this person?"
Long Xuanen didn't answer, just sighed.
Qiqi said: "Hongbei Desert?"
Long Xuan'en said: "There is no need to get to the bottom of it. In short, I will never let others affect your happiness."
Qiqi looked at Long Xuanen without saying a word, but sneered secretly in her heart, you don't let others control my happiness, but you want to control my destiny.
Hu Buwei sat quietly in the courtyard, looking at the flowers in the garden, feeling quite uneasy in his heart. He had always regarded Princess Yongyang as a little girl, but now he suddenly discovered that this little girl was not simple. Whether he wanted to or not,
The fate of the Hu family has been linked to the survival of the Dakang Dynasty.
There was a low cough from behind. Hu Buwei turned around and saw Quan De'an walking slowly over with a tray containing the freshly brewed tea. Hu Buwei smiled and said: "Quan De'an was slowly walking over with a tray containing the freshly brewed tea."
Why is father-in-law free?"
Quan De'an placed the tray on the stone table, poured a cup of tea, and presented it to Hu Buwei with both hands.
Hu Buwei took the tea cup and smelled the tea, with an intoxicated expression on his face, and softly praised: "Good tea!"
Quan De'an said: "This tea is the highest quality Yue'ermei in the palace. Her Royal Highness the Princess specially brought it for you to taste."
Hu Buwei smiled and said: "The tea is good tea, but if Hu says something unpleasant, Yue'ermei should not be brewed this way."
Quan De'an showed a smile on his lips and said: "Master Hu is very knowledgeable. This tea was brewed by the Zajia family. The Zajia family is just an ignorant servant who cannot do such elegant things. Let the princess give it to her with her own hands some other time.
You make tea, the princess has been studying tea art since she was a child and has made great achievements in this field."
Hu Buwei said calmly: "Eunuch Quan's words really frightened Hu. Hu is just a commoner, how dare he drive the princess."
Quan De'an also poured a cup of tea himself, took a sip to his lips and said, "The emperor intends to betroth Princess Yongyang to Mr. Hu's precious son."
Hu Buwei was not surprised when he heard the news. In fact, the couple had had a premonition of this since they were taken away by Princess Yongyang, but they just didn't expect it to happen so quickly. It seemed that the royal family
The father and son had already been alerted. They planned to escape by going to Luosong in search of food sources. The royal family should have discovered it. The emperor proposed marriage. This matter meant great honor to the Hu family and also represented the sacred mandate.
They couldn't violate it, and they had no choice but to refuse. After their son became the consort, the Hu family would naturally become relatives of the emperor. Regardless of whether they wanted to or not, their future destiny would be closely linked to the royal family. Hu Buwei's mood suddenly changed when he thought of this.
became heavy.
Quan De'an quietly glanced at Hu Buwei and said meaningfully: "Master Hu seems to be a little unhappy? Could it be that we, the princess, are not worthy of your son, the Hu family?"
Hu Buwei sighed and said: "Eunuch Quan thought wrong. I am not unhappy, but a little scared. I know my son well. He has always been naughty and dissolute. I am worried that he has wronged Her Highness the Princess."
Quan De'an chuckled and said: "The Za family thought Master Hu was unhappy. Which of your sons is indeed a bit dissolute and cynical, but for some unknown reason, such a temperament easily wins the favor of girls. The Za family has never seen Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Who are you treating so well?"
Hu Buwei secretly sighed in his heart. This marriage was basically going to tie the fate of the Hu family to the Dakang Dynasty. Not only that, it was also likely to drag the Jinling Xu family into this boat. Princess Yongyang was so young.
She actually has such a scheming mind. If her son really marries her, he will just be a tool used by her in the future. I am afraid that he will be unable to hold his head up in this life. Hu Buwei said: "But I don't know what your highness, Princess, means?"
Quan De'an said: "The princess means to listen to the emperor's arrangements. In fact, the princess is not yet fourteen years old, and she is still very vague about love and marriage. Of course, she will do whatever the emperor tells her."
Hu Buwei was even more certain that the old emperor and Princess Yongyang should have reached some kind of tacit understanding. Most of the things Princess Yongyang did were what Long Xuanen meant. He said happily: "I will do this."
Of course I fully agree, but I don’t know what my bastard son thinks."
Quan De'an said with a smile: "My parents have ordered a matchmaker, and Mr. Hu agrees that the matter is settled. Mr. Hu is loyal and filial, and of course he will not go against your wishes." (To be continued.) h118
