Ge Shu Wuluan lowered his eyes and looked at Princess Miao Yan's deliberately lowered head, obviously observing her guilty conscience at the moment.
Yes, even if she had let go of her feelings for Yan Qisha, she would not develop such a fast relationship with Pei Yingming. It is expected that she was worried that the monarch would veto the marriage, so she took this step, so to speak. .
In short, it is a good thing that she can come out of the haze and find the person she loves.
However, the second eldest son of the Pei family was really a dandy who could not hold up the wall. At that time, he had even discussed marriage with Princess Jiale, and the great minister Kou Pei'an was a thorn in the monarch's heart that would have to be removed sooner or later. With the monarch Can you love Princess Miao Yan so much that you are willing to push her into a pit of fire
I wonder if this marriage will be rejected
The monarch's arms were trembling with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You... are so shameless in rushing to propose marriage, and even licking your face to propose marriage!"
Princess Miao Yan suddenly raised her head, her jade face turned as red as a drop of blood, and replied unwillingly: "My son, I am not betraying you, we are consensual and have mutual feelings for each other!"
One sentence made the monarch's face turn cold and frosty. He pointed at her and asked angrily, "Since it was consensual, why didn't that bastard come to propose marriage instead of you? You are a dignified princess, and you still want to marry me?" Don’t you want any shame?!”
Such a public scolding made the woman's jade cheeks turn white and turn red. She was obviously embarrassed. She frowned and retorted, "Father, why are you so unreasonable! Ying Ming has no official position, how can he come to the palace to complain to you?" If you ask for marriage, I won’t let you rush out of the palace directly..."
Her unbridled rebuttal shocked Zhou Changshi, who had already been shocked beyond measure. His face turned even paler. He was about to plead for his daughter, but he received a cold look from the monarch, and he suddenly suppressed his words. He sat back down, but his body was trembling and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
The monarch stared at the woman with dark eyes, and said coldly and sullenly: "You are so unreasonable?! Oh, okay, my elbows are turned out! Now I can help that bastard to speak, and in the future, I can still do it?!" Why do you have no official position? Are you trying to get an official position for him?"
Hearing the words "bastard" on the left and "bastard" on the right, Princess Miao Yan became even more stubborn and said stubbornly: "We don't care about corrupt officials..."
"What are you talking about?" The monarch seemed to have not heard clearly and asked in a dark voice with narrowed eyes.
But this murmur was heard by the concubine. She frowned, and when she saw Zhou Changshi's panicked eyes asking for help, she carefully said: "Your Majesty, please let Yan'er get up first. If you keep kneeling like this, your body will become weak." It’s too much!”
The monarch glanced at the woman's abdomen, frowned for a moment, sat back in the chair, and finally softened his tone, "Get up."
Princess Miao Yan stood up slowly and uneasily, staggering uncontrollably, as if her legs were numb.
Looking in the eyes of the concubine, she raised her hand and said in a gentle voice, "Yan'er, you sit down first."
After she sat down, the concubine looked at the monarch's profile, and then said in a serious voice: "I think that the matter has come to this, no matter how angry your majesty is, it will not help. Now, it is time to consider how to deal with this matter. For the best."
Hearing this, the monarch's eyebrows rose, and he suddenly turned to look at Jialan, who had been silent all this time, and asked, "Master, what do you think of this matter?"
The man's deep eyes and silver mask complemented each other, and he elegantly opened his lips and replied: "Your Majesty, it's a match made in heaven!"
Hearing the sound, the monarch was silent for a while, his expression was silent, as if he was thinking about something.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little stagnant.
None of the female family members below dared to gasp loudly, so they had to keep silent and lower their heads, secretly enduring the depression.
After a long time, the monarch finally softened his tone and said, "Well, since you all..." He paused suddenly at this point, obviously because there were some words that were difficult to say, and then continued: "Then I have no choice but to grant you a marriage! As for The decree will be handed down the next day.”
Since Yan'er was interested in that boy, he would help her, lest she turn around and pester her again... Phantom!
Brother Shu Wuluan's eyebrows twitched, and he glanced at Jialan coldly. He didn't expect that it was him who opened his mouth to trigger this matter. He was so 'face-saving'!
Princess Miao Yan was overjoyed. She stood up and was about to thank her, but the monarch raised his hand to stop her, "Don't be too busy thanking me. Let me finish what I have to say. The eldest son of the Pei family is getting married in the next few days. If two things happen, It is really tiring to have happy events collide. Moreover, your marriage cannot be rushed. Therefore, I will postpone your wedding to another day. During these days when you are about to get married, you will be honest to me. Stay in the palace and you are not allowed to secretly see him again, otherwise, I will take back the marriage proposal! Do you hear me clearly?"
The woman frowned, obviously unwilling, but she still knelt down and kowtowed: "My son, I know! Thank you father for the marriage!"
The monarch nodded. As Princess Miao Yan stood up, she cast her long eyes at the man in the chair and asked suspiciously, "Are you the Grand Master Jialan?"
Before the man could answer, the monarch's face darkened, "Huh?" He seemed to be annoyed that she was rude.
Jialan smiled faintly, "Exactly. Lan has met Her Royal Highness the Princess!" As he said that, he only nodded leisurely without even getting up.
However, Princess Miao Yan didn't care about his arrogance. She bowed and smiled back, her delicate jade face full of gratitude, as if she was speaking for her before thanking him.
At this time, the sun is already thinning, the sunshine is even lighter, and there is a long and gentle breeze flowing into the pavilion, which is refreshing and cool.
After pondering for a moment, the monarch looked at the blue waves outside the pavilion, smiled and said: "The hexagram that night was indeed fulfilled. Ha, it seems that that boy Su'er will respect Lan Qing as his teacher!"
It seemed like a casual joke, but it made Ge Shu Wuluan always feel that there was something in the king's words.
The concubine also looked worried about this.
Jialan smiled humbly and said: "How dare Lan take on the role of King Ruikang's teacher? Your Majesty should not take this child's joke to heart."
At this time, the monarch looked at him, nodded, and said in a clear voice: "Lan Qing, this time the prophecy comes true, what reward does the Qing family want?"
The man's face was indifferent, and he was completely unfazed, "Lan Weigong is in Sheji, and he doesn't dare to ask for rewards."
The monarch took a sip of the fragrant tea handed by Gong'e and continued: "Hey, even so, I always have to reward you with something to feel at ease. Otherwise, my ministers will definitely criticize me for not knowing rewards and punishments!"
Hearing this, Jialan curled up the corners of her lips, and a deep light seemed to flash through her eyes. After a moment, she said, "Then Lan will boldly ask for a favor from Your Majesty!"
"Say." The monarch slowly put down the tea cup and waited for the next words.
"When Lan first entered the inner palace, he was really not familiar with the etiquette of the palace. He might make a joke in the future and offend the palace masters. So he thought, could your majesty give Lan a maid to teach etiquette? "He said calmly and unhurriedly.
But when Ge Shu Wuluan heard these words, he always felt a bad premonition coming out. This man wants a maid who teaches etiquette? ! …
The monarch smiled and said: "What kind of favor do you think it is? This is easy to handle. If Lan Qing has a favorite candidate in his heart, I will immediately send someone to you."
There was a hint of an imperceptible sneer at the corner of the man's mouth, "Lan heard that the fourth-grade female emcee is Tiexinlian. She is not only enthusiastic and thoughtful, but also meticulous in her duties, so Lan feels that she is really a safe person! She just doesn't know Tiexinlian." At the female officer’s place…”
Brother Shu Wuluan had no time to listen to the rest of the words. Her heart sank suddenly, and she said, well, what kind of maid does this guy want to teach etiquette? It turns out that Lian'er has already found out about her friendship. Very good, now... Is he trying to take Lian'er hostage to take revenge on her? !
Sure enough, her hunch was good!
For a moment, she was filled with anger and her face turned frosty. Just when she almost couldn't restrain her anger and wanted to speak to stop her, she suddenly came into contact with the concubine's bright and inquiring eyes. She instantly resisted the impulse and angrily Leng glared at the man, then took back the step he had taken.
The monarch smiled heartily and continued: "I promise that her position will not be reduced and her salary will not be reduced. It should be an honor for her to have the honor to serve as the imperial advisor! I agreed to this, and I will order someone to give her the order later. She went to serve at the Xianyang Palace." After a moment of pause, her eyes looked at an unknown place, and she spoke again, "Speaking of which, that girl is indeed a smart and elegant person. With her serving Lan Qing, I would be very surprised. You can rest assured."
Jialan's face was always calm, but privately he was savoring these words carefully, leaning forward and saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The monarch raised his hand to signal him to stand up. He scanned the crowd in the pavilion and said calmly: "Let's all disperse."
"Yes!" Everyone stood up and responded, and walked out of the pavilion. Among them, Zhou Changshi looked panicked and had no roots, so he had to be helped out by Princess Miao Yan.
After a while, everyone had retreated. The monarch leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest. A cloak covered his body. He did not open his eyes. His voice was a little tired and said, "You should also go back. I am tired, so I have to sit here quietly." Later."
Listening to his indifferent tone, the concubine paused and lowered her eyes in loneliness, "Rui, it's autumn, so don't let the cool breeze blow, and remember to go back to the dormitory early..."
It wasn't until the sound of footsteps dissipated in her ears that Jin Rui slowly opened her eyes, looking at the blurred and desolate figure in the distance, her eyes seemed to be unable to bear to show.
…
After leaving the pavilion, Jia Lan picked an unknown little flower that bloomed under the ornamental stone, sniffed it, it was elegant and refreshing, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Just like her, although she doesn't look outstanding, the aura emanating from her bones can draw away people's souls!
Little woman, you make me want to stop so much, how can I let you go so easily? !
Immediately, he pinched the little flower on his fingertips and started playing with it.
At this time, an older imperial doctor walked towards him, carrying a very delicate medicine warmer box in his hand. He gradually approached the man, his eyes briefly glanced at the mask on his face, and his cloudy eyes narrowed in time. He stopped walking and saluted, "I have met the Imperial Preceptor!"
The unusually dry voice was like the strings of a guqin that had been idle for many years. It sounded a bit harsh and made people extremely uncomfortable.
