In the backyard, Tang Sai'er's house. "My servant has met Your Highness." Tang Sai'er saw Min'er walking in. She ignored her surprise and hurriedly got up from the bed and saluted.
"This is private and not a formal occasion, so there is no need to be polite." Min'er waved her hands and said nonchalantly. She then ordered the maid who followed her: "You all go out, we don't need your service here."
"Yes." They agreed and exited the room.
"Your Highness, the etiquette must not be discarded." Tang Sai'er said again.
"Oh, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why have you become so pedantic? What is the purpose of etiquette? The superior is the inferior." At this point, Min'er suddenly thought of something and changed what she was going to say next: "It is also the inferior.
It is an act of respect for someone with a higher status. Now there are only two of us, so there is no need to show respect on the surface. I know that you respect me in your heart."
"I understand. You are worried about my alienation from you because of the prison incident and because your parents were White Lotus believers? You can rest assured that I am still willing to call you into the palace as a companion. How can this be alienating you?
"I'm not worried at all that you are an assassin from the White Lotus Sect who is hiding in the palace to assassinate me. On the contrary, it's just right," Min'er said with a smile: "I heard that the Kung Fu of the White Lotus Sect is unique, and you also learned Kung Fu from your father.
I just wanted to take a look and learn a few tricks."
"Your Highness, thank you very much, Your Highness." Tang Saier lowered his head and said, covering up the red circles under his eyes.
"Your Highness Princess, why did you suddenly come to this servant's house? This slave will enter the palace in ten days at most to be your highness's companion. Your Highness, you can't wait to see your servant again?" After a while, Tang Saier's eyes were already filled with circles.
No longer red. He smiled.
"That's right!" Min'er also said with a smile, "That's the right way for you to behave like this." He added, "I left the palace today to visit relatives. I was incognito on the way back to the palace. I happened to come to you, so I came in to take a look."
"I'm afraid His Highness wants to leave the palace incognito to visit relatives." Tang Sai'er said again.
"You still understand me." Min'er said pretending to be helpless. Tang Sai'er covered her mouth and smiled softly, saying: "Of course His Highness's maids also understand His Highness's thoughts, but they are not as open-minded as the slaves."
"It's good for you to be like this. They are all like them, and they are bored to death every day. But this is also the rule in the palace. You can't blame them. Anyone who dares to talk too much will definitely be punished. Sai'er, after you enter the palace,
You need to be careful when speaking in the palace, but you don't need to worry too much outside the palace." Min'er said.
They chatted for a while, and Min'er suddenly slapped her head and whispered softly: "I almost forgot about the real thing!"
"What did His Highness just say? Sai'er didn't hear clearly." Tang Sai'er said hurriedly.
"It's nothing. Sai'er, what do you think of Yu Qian?" Min'er said.
"Yu Qian? He is a fool. He is not only old-fashioned in his work, but also easy to get into trouble, but he is quite interesting." Tang Saier recalled the several times he met Yu Qian and said, "And such people are also needed in the court, and Your Majesty seems to be very interested."
If you appreciate him, you will probably become an important minister of the imperial court in the future."
"Sai'er, are you willing? Well, you understand what I mean." Min'er said. After all, she was an unmarried girl, and so was Tang Sai'er. There were things she couldn't say. But she believed that Tang Sai'er understood what she meant.
.
As expected, Tang Sai'er understood what she meant and her face turned red. Seeing that her expression did not seem to be very repulsive to Qian, Min'er was secretly happy and felt that she had become a matchmaker. But after a while, Tang Sai'er said:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but Sai'er doesn't want to."
"Why don't you want to? Could it be that you have already made a marriage arrangement before?" Min'er said.
Tang Sai'er's face became a little embarrassed, and she said in a very soft voice: "My parents had intentions in the past, but they were not determined." She was once destined to be Mo Li's son. But like Tang Jingyu, Mo Li was also exempted from crime by meritorious service.
The blame lies with Jin Yiwei, but neither of them is willing to continue this marriage. In fact, when they meet, unless they have to talk, they treat each other as strangers. As for being assigned to other families, Tang Jingyu is now the errand of Jin Yiwei.
Who wants to marry an ex-convict?
"In that case, why are you unwilling? What's wrong with Yu Qian? Are you worried about affecting his future? Don't worry, Your Majesty is willing to do so and it will never affect Yu Qian's future." Min'er said again.
After hearing the first half of Min'er's words, Min'er wanted to speak, but then she heard the second half and took back what she was about to say. The reason why she didn't want to marry Yu Qian was simple: although she thought Yu Qian was very interesting
, but there was no trace of love between men and women, and she had never thought of marrying him. But after hearing the second half of Min'er's words, she was shaken. After a while, she said again: "I am willing."
'It would be great if couples in this world could be in love with each other, but nine out of ten things in this world are unsatisfactory. Most couples don't even say they are in love with each other before marriage, and they may not have met each other before marriage. Even if I don't have feelings for men and women towards Qian,
But I don't hate him either, and I can live on with my life after getting married. We can't wait until a mutually agreeable man to get married. Just agree.' Tang Sai'er thought to herself.
But the reason why she was shaken was not because of these thoughts. It was something she didn't want to think about in her mind, but she had to think about it: thinking about her family. Although her father had committed a crime and made meritorious service, he was not only exempted from guilt but became a member of the Imperial Guard.
But who among the Jinyi Guards didn't know about Tang Jingyu's origin? They were very repelled by him. It seemed that Tang Jingyu didn't have to think about integrating into the Jinyiwei in this life, let alone anything else. The Tang family would also have to bear the notoriety of being a former rebel.
But if she marries Yu Qian, things will change. Yu Qian will definitely become an important minister of the imperial court in the future. If she marries Yu Qian, the Tang family will naturally rise. Not only will the former rebel's reputation be mentioned by no one, her father will also be mentioned.
Even if you still can't integrate into the Jin Yiwei, you can transfer him to other yamen. Other yamen will not know Tang Jingyu's details very well, and seeing that his son-in-law is an important minister in the court, they will definitely be happy to accept him.
The reason why Tang Jingyu refused at first was because he felt that once he married Yu Qian, Yu Qian would be hated by His Majesty. He would not be able to be a high official in the future and would not be able to play the role he wanted to achieve by marrying him. But Shi Cai Min'er said again
"Your Majesty is willing, and it will never affect Yu Qian's future." She didn't have the slightest worry at the end, and decided to agree. "Dad, you may not want Sai'er to make such a decision, but Sai'er passed by in the Jinyi Guard Prison.
After more than a month, I have become sensible. My parents would sacrifice themselves for Sai'er. Why can't Sai'er treat you like this?'
Min'er didn't know what Tang Sai'er was thinking. She just saw that Tang Sai'er agreed, and she felt very happy. She was happy that she had successfully become a matchmaker. She smiled and said a few words, including some jokes.
She originally wanted to take Sai'er to meet Yu Qian in the front hall immediately and settle the marriage in person. But then she thought that since ancient times, the man proposed to the woman for engagement. What she did was too shocking, and Tang Sai'er would not be willing to do so.
. He left Tang Sai'er, ran back to the living room, and said to Wen Qi: "Tell Yu Qian, if you want to ask for Tang Sai'er's hand in marriage, don't wait any longer like this. Kneel down and propose immediately. If he doesn't want to, he will marry her in the future."
There is no need to ask to marry Tang Saier." After hearing this, Wen Qi glanced at the eldest sister in surprise, but he still came to Yu Qian's side and said this.
…
…
Tang Jingyu was surprised when he suddenly saw Yu Qian kneeling down to propose marriage. He didn't know what to do for a moment. He said incoherently: "This, oh my, I have never felt..."
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I have met His Royal Highness the Third Prince." At this time, He Miao also walked in from the side door. After saluting Min'er and Wen Qi, he said to Qian: "This matter is related to the fate of my daughter of the Tang family.
How can we decide at the moment? Besides, according to the rules, you should ask for a match from a matchmaker, not yourself. What’s more, does your family agree with this marriage? We don’t know that. Although my Tang family is not as good as the Yu family, it is not a frivolous family.
, if there are no three matchmakers and six betrothals, the daughter will never be allowed to get married."
Hearing this, Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Wen Qi, and then secretly glanced at Min'er. He was not stupid, he knew that Min'er had relayed these words; and just now Min'er went to see Tang Sai'er,
She thought that she or Tang Sai'er saw what she was thinking, and Tang Sai'er was willing, so she decided to kneel down and propose marriage. But why didn't the Tang family agree?
Seeing his look, Min'er wanted to beat him up. Even if he was willing, how could you agree to marry him as soon as he asked for marriage? Unless it was a daughter bought with money, anyone who cared a little for their daughter would not agree immediately.
.Yu Qian also understands this truth, but caring about it will lead to chaos and unexpectedness. Min'er can't explain it to Yu Qian.
Fortunately, Wen Qi was not as concerned and confused as Yu Qian. He softly persuaded Yu Qian to stand up and then persuaded him to leave. After Qian and Wen Qi had left, Min'er whispered something in He Miao's ear.
, also walked away with a smile.
"I understand. Just now you asked Yu Qian such questions and asked about everything. Do you think he is interested in our Sai'er?" After everyone had left, Tang Jingyu suddenly said with enlightenment.
"It is indeed because of this." He Miao said.
"Then are you willing to get married?" Tang Jingyu asked again.
"Of course I am willing. Yu Qian's conditions are so good. If we miss him, we will never find a better person to be Sai'er's husband. But now, it doesn't matter whether we are willing or not." He Miao smiled bitterly.
He said.
"What do you mean?" Tang Jingyu asked. They are Tang Sai'er's parents. If they want to arrange a marriage for Tang Sai'er, even the clan leader can't interfere. Why is it irrelevant whether they are willing or not?
"Don't you see? It was Her Royal Highness Princess Guangling who asked the third son of the Emperor to send a message to Yu Qian to propose marriage. It can be seen that Her Royal Highness Princess Guangling is willing to have this marriage. Can we go against the princess's wishes?" He Miao continued to say this with a wry smile.
talk.
After hearing this, Tang Jingyu sat slumped in his seat. How could their family dare to go against the princess's words? This meant that his daughter's marriage to Yu Qian was a foregone conclusion. He didn't have any ill feelings towards Qian, but he was deprived of his daughter's decision-making power in marriage, and he felt unhappy.
How comfortable it is.
"Husband, you have to think about the best in everything. Yu Qian has a bright future and is a decent man. It is a good thing for my daughter to marry him. Why are you so depressed?" He Miaoqiang said with a smile: "Princess Guangling has arranged a good marriage for us.
, you should thank Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"But I don't want this!" Tang Jingyu suddenly shouted loudly.
"Father, mother. This marriage was not only arranged by Her Royal Highness the Princess, but also asked my daughter what she thought. She is willing." At this time, Tang Sai'er suddenly walked to the living room and said to them.
"Are you willing?" Tang Jingyu stood up, grabbed Tang Sai'er's shoulders, and asked, "Did Her Highness the Princess force you to do so?"
"No, it's my own wish." Tang Saier lowered his head and did not dare to look into his father's eyes.
"So you are already willing. The princess is in charge, and you are willing. What else do you want us to do!" Tang Jingyu let go of Tang Sai'er's shoulders, whispered a few words, and never looked at Tang Sai'er again.
, turned around and walked towards his house.
"Ser, you, why are you willing?" He Miao came over and asked.
"Mom, there's no need to ask." Tang Sai'er said, "My daughter is willing."
"This," He Miao suddenly guessed Tang Saier's thoughts and said, "Our family doesn't need you..."
"Mom, stop talking. Sai'er understands." Tang Sai'er added: "It's time for Sai'er to contribute to the family. If dad doesn't understand, don't let him understand. It's okay to keep grudges against me."
…
…
"What, you want to marry the daughter of Tang Jingyu, the former White Lotus cultist? No! I can never agree!" Yu Xu said.
"Dad, my son has made up his mind, please let me fulfill it." Yu Qian knelt down and said.
"You! You're such a traitor! You're talking back! You've become more capable!" Yu Xu shouted angrily: "Come here, bring me a wooden stick, today I want to practice my own skills!"
"Master, there's no need for this!" Yu Qian's mother Huang said immediately: "Qian'er just fell in love with the girl, and she didn't hire her privately. She came here to report it to the master. There was nothing against the rules. No need to fight. Big deal.
It’s fine if I don’t agree.” She tried to persuade him a few more times.
"Father, mother, my son has already asked for marriage at the Tang family." Yu Qian suddenly said again.
"What! You asked for marriage without telling your parents! Do you think we are all dead!" After his wife's persuasion, Yu Xu, who had already lost most of his anger, suddenly became angrier than before, and shouted again: "Hurry up and get the stick.
Come!"
"Master, calm down!" Mrs. Huang said again, and winked at the servants to ask them to delay bringing the sticks. But she really couldn't find any suitable words to persuade her, so she could only keep trying to persuade her husband to calm down.
"Ask this rebellious son if he still has his parents in his heart!" Yu Xu said again.
"Father, mother, the son naturally has his parents in his heart, and he knows how to behave accordingly, but his son likes Miss Tang, the daughter of Tang Jingyu, very much. He will not marry her unless she is the one, so he asks his father to make it happen." Yu Qian said.
"You!" Yu Xu called out again, and suddenly felt dizzy and fell down on the chair. Huang hurriedly looked for someone to help him. After a while, Yu Xu recovered, stood up and said, "That's it, you
Now that she's grown up, she has an idea. I won't say anything against it, but don't let her come to me!"
"Thank you, father!" Yu Qian kowtowed and said. Yu Xu snorted, turned around and walked towards the backyard. Huang glanced at her son and whispered, "Your father is always talking in anger. He will be fine in a few days."
Then he quickly caught up with Yu Xu.
Yu Qian faced the direction Yu Xu left and kowtowed again.
