"Oh?" When the emperor heard this, he immediately became interested: "I wonder which one the queen is interested in? The queen stays with me in the Zichen Palace every day and has no time to interact with the ladies outside the palace. Could it be that the person she likes is in this palace? ?”
Queen Wei responded with a smile: "Exactly. Speaking of which, the emperor is also very familiar with this person. At that time, I was just taking charge of the palace affairs, and I was short of useful people around me. I had to shamelessly ask the emperor for her."
"In the past two years, I have been by my side. I like her intelligence and sensibleness, and also like her beauty. She comes from a noble family and has outstanding talent and beauty. She is worthy of Ayan!"
Queen Wei did not name her exactly.
However, the emperor only heard the first two sentences and already knew who this person was.
Ling Jingshu!
Unexpectedly, the person Queen Wei fell in love with was actually her!
The emperor frowned subconsciously.
Ling Jingshu really has nothing to fault. But no matter what, he had his thoughts on Ling Jingshu and almost got her into the harem...
Now that Empress Wei wanted to grant marriage to Ling Jingshu and Wei Yan, he felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it.
If you think about it more carefully, this matter is not so difficult to accept.
Now that he is like a dead tree, he can only rest and procrastinate and live for a few more years! I have long been indifferent to women and other things. For such a beautiful and intelligent girl, staying in the palace will only delay her marriage.
Since Empress Wei liked her as her sister-in-law, she just let Empress Wei do it.
The emperor made up his mind and was about to nod.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yan frowned and opened his mouth: "Concubine Ling is the most useful person around the Queen. How can a humble minister take away the Queen's favor? Let's forget about this marriage!"
Queen Wei quickly understood Wei Yan's intention of "retreating to advance", she frowned in cooperation, and looked at the emperor with some grievance: "Your Majesty, you should have seen it with your own eyes this time. Every time I mention it to him He can always find excuses to shirk marriage matters. As the eldest sister, I can't do anything to him."
The emperor felt sorry for Empress Wei and immediately said with a serious face: "Wei Yan, I and the empress personally arranged your marriage, what else are you dissatisfied with? If you dare to shirk it again, you are disobeying the decree! Do you really think that I can do nothing to you? ?"
Wei Yan knelt down helplessly and apologized: "I don't dare."
The emperor snorted softly: "Why don't you dare? The queen has put so much thought into your marriage these years. It's better for you to rely on the queen to favor you and not take the queen's words to heart. This I will take care of this matter today!"
"As the Queen said, I will marry Ling Jingshu to you. Pick an auspicious day before the year to get married!"
Once the emperor spoke, there was no possibility of changing the matter.
Wei Yan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and thanked him for the grace in a low voice.
This marriage was the emperor's personal decree. In the future, even if the emperor realizes what happened, he won't be able to pursue the matter any further, right
"You brat, why would you be reluctant to have such a beautiful and intelligent girl betrothed to you?" The emperor joked with a smile as he had no grudges in his heart.
Wei Yan looked hesitant and hesitated for a moment before answering: "Returning to the emperor, Wei Chen has been living in the imperial hospital for so many years. He has never lived in an external residence. The emperor ordered Wei Chen to get married before the end of the year. , I have to settle down in the capital first before getting married. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."
The emperor couldn't stop laughing: "It turns out it's such a trivial matter. Why is it so difficult! You have taken good care of me for so many years and saved the prince's life, but I have never rewarded you generously. This time, taking advantage of your happy event, I will do this Brother-in-law, you have to express your feelings."
"I will reward you with a house close to the palace. I will leave the renovation and cleanup to the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can just wait and see with peace of mind until you get married and become the groom's official."
Every inch of land in the capital is precious, and prices are staggeringly high.
With Wei Yan's wealth, it is not difficult to buy a house. However, it is indeed difficult to choose an area close to the palace within a few months.
With this opening of his mouth, the emperor not only rewarded the house, but also took over the renovation of the house. What a surprise.
Wei Yan hurriedly opened his mouth to thank him again, and allowed himself to show his joy.
The emperor saw this and thought that the "forced marriage" was successful. He proudly asked Empress Wei for credit: "Queen, how are you satisfied with how I handled it?"
Empress Wei looked grateful and touched: "The emperor treats Ayan so kindly, and he is also giving face to me. I don't know how many lifetimes I have been blessed to be able to receive such love from the emperor."
The emperor smiled and responded gently: "I am blessed to have the queen by my side."
Queen Wei pursed her lips shyly and smiled, and quickly exchanged a knowing look with Wei Yan.
Very good!
Finally get what you want!
I finally lived up to my two years of patient waiting!
…
Ling Jingshu, who was waiting outside the dormitory, was chatting quietly with Xinyun as usual. I had no idea what was going on in the dormitory.
Eunuch Ding walked out with a happy face and said with a meaningful smile: "Mr. Ling, the Emperor and the Queen have summoned you to come in. They have important matters to tell you."
Ling Jingshu didn't take it seriously, smiled and hummed, then followed Eunuch Ding into the bedroom.
She follows Queen Wei every day and has long been accustomed to Queen Wei summoning her at any time. She never imagined what would be waiting for her.
After the salute, when he saw the uncontrollable joy in Wei Yan's eyes and the dazzling smile on Queen Wei's face, even the emperor was very interested.
Only then did Ling Jingshu realize something was wrong.
How is this going
What is there to be so happy about
"Jingshu, are you seventeen years old this year?" Queen Wei asked with a smile.
So why did you ask about her age
Ling Jingshu's heart moved and she had a vague premonition: "Yes, I turned seventeen two months ago."
"I remember that when you entered the palace, you were still young. In the blink of an eye, you have been in the palace for more than two years." There was a smile in Queen Wei's eyes: "The youth of the girl's family cannot afford to be delayed. I also I can’t bear to see you wasting your time in the palace. So, I would like to arrange a marriage for you. Are you willing?"
...referring to marriage? !
It actually means marriage!
She didn't know how many times she had fantasized about this moment.
At this moment, it was like in a dream, everything was so beautiful, so unreal.
Ling Jingshu's hands shrunk in her sleeves were trembling, and she tried her best to resist the urge to look up at Wei Yan, and responded softly: "Everything is up to the Queen."
Queen Wei's voice sounded leisurely: "My younger brother Wei Yan has excellent medical skills, handsome appearance, clean body, and pure character. I propose you to marry him, are you willing?" (To be continued)
