"The courtiers meet the prince."
Seeing King Shou approaching, Mrs. Lin led her daughter to salute with mixed feelings, and glanced at the man's ink-colored hem, Mrs. Lin's eyes were full of fear. Three years ago, when a concubine was selected in the palace, King Chu and King Rui were both given marriages, but King Shou was neglected. At that time, there was a lot of discussion in the capital. Now, his own private affairs are destined to make King Shou a laughing stock in the mouth of the people in the capital. Lin Shi was afraid that King Shou would be angry and angry, so he took his anger on his daughter.
Maybe when King Shou left the palace, he was going to enter the palace to ask the emperor to revoke the marriage, right
"Get up." Zhao Heng said calmly, with no emotion in his voice.
Lin Shi and Song Jianing got up together.
Zhao Heng's gaze stayed on Song Jianing's left face for a while longer, seeing her cheeks as white and tender as pear blossom petals, poking and pinching, even though she was pitiful, she had a childish naivety. She may have a thousand sorrows in her heart, which fall in the eyes of others, but it is more like an ordinary grievance, the kind that can be easily coaxed.
Zhao Heng suddenly felt that this trouble was nothing.
"Marriage, don't worry."
The first two words, Zhao Heng said to Lin Shi, when he paused and noticed Song Jianing raised his head, Zhao Heng looked at her subconsciously, and then said the following " Don't worry."
Song Jianing's eyes widened in surprise.
Zhao Heng nodded slightly, turned to leave, his back was slender and straight, like a crane in the old forest in the deep mountains, which instantly turned into a green pine standing on the top of the cliff. Song Jianing stared blankly at the back of the wipe, until King Shou got into the carriage and the carriage headed east slowly, Song Jianing finally recovered.
She turned to look at her mother, Lin hugged her daughter, and said softly in her daughter's ear, "Your Highness really cares about you."
A prince, he doesn't care that his daughter's father is just a widow, his mother is a remarried widow, he doesn't care that his daughter has the reputation of being delicious, he doesn't care that a rash on his daughter's face may leave marks, and he doesn't even care that his daughter's father's clan battle affects the prestige of Shouwang's mansion. , In addition to being concerned, Lin couldn't find any other reason.
Song Jianing nodded, his eyes were wet, but the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up. She didn't know why King Shou treated her so well. Maybe it was because of the cousins' friendship that the two had gotten along with several times before. Maybe it was because of his noble character. Because the emperor gave her a marriage, he maintained her as his fiancée, but King Shou treated her to her. It's true, Song Jianing has no regrets in her life to marry such a man as his wife.
Mrs. Tai and King Shou both gave reassurance. On the way to the palace, Mrs. Lin quickly became rational. While thinking about how to deal with Erye Song and Mrs. Hu, she instructed her daughter what to do after seeing the emperor.
The emperor summoned, and the carriage of the duke's mansion ran fast. Two quarters later, Song Jianing and Lin were led to the main hall by the palace servants. Just after climbing dozens of high steps, the faces of the girls who seldom go out had a faint blush on their faces. As soon as they appeared in front of the main hall, the people in the hall turned around and looked over together.
Guo Boyan wore the Jinxian crown on his head, a purple official uniform, a leather belt around his waist, and a jade pendant with a brocade ribbon. Seeing the wife and daughter who came in a hurry, his eyes swept across the red eyes of the mothers, Guo Boyan frowned slightly, walked a few steps forward as if no one else was there, and asked Lin Shi, "Is the family settled?"
The question is about family affairs, but the intimacy between husband and wife is revealed in the words.
Lin Shi's heart became more at ease, and she said softly, "Mother helps take care of Brother Mao, don't worry, Lord Guo."
Guo Boyan snorted, then reached out to touch the top of Song Jianing's head, and said with a smile, "An'an, don't panic, your father will decide for you."
The man is tall and mighty, and at the age of forty, his face still shows the beauty of his youth, but he is more majestic than the young man of two decades, as if everything is done in his chest. Song Jianing had long forgotten that his biological father had left too early, but in Guo Boyan, Song Jianing really felt the sense of security that his father maintained.
With a grateful smile towards his stepfather, Song Jianing slowly looked at the two on the other side of the hall. The man was dressed in muslin clothes, and his once fair face was tanned and yellow, but all the men in the Song family were handsome and handsome. inability. Beside him, Mrs. Hu was wearing a blue cloth dress, her body was thin, and her complexion was dark. After three years of hardship in the cell, Mrs. Hu became even darker. gas. In fact, she is only two years younger than Lin, but now they are standing together, saying that Hu is Lin's aunt, no one will question.
Song Jianing was taken aback secretly, but he didn't expect such a big change in his uncle and aunt.
Second Master Song's eyes grew on Lin's body. I used to think that my sister-in-law was beautiful like a fairy. I haven't seen her for four years, and my sister-in-law seems to be getting older and younger. Standing with her niece is clearly a pair of sisters. . He was fascinated by the beauty, while Hu Shi was jealous with sour water all over his body. The better Lin Shi was, the stronger her hatred would be!
"Bah! You still have the face to see me! Kidnapped the girl from our Song family, are you worthy of the elder brother!" Hu took two steps forward, blushed and pointed at Lin, and scolded: "When the elder brother died, Whoever jumped on the eldest brother and wished to die together, it turned out to be pretending to be seen by the neighbors, and in a blink of an eye, he climbed high and went to other people's beds..."
"Come here!" Guo Boyan shouted loudly, his black eyes staring coldly at the frightened Mr. Hu, "Above the hall, the treachery dares to despise Huangwei, pull it out to play twenty big boards, and the church rules will bring it back. She entered the palace."
Before the emperor and the prince arrived, Guo Boyan was the biggest official in the hall. Immediately, a guard rushed over to cover Hu's mouth and drag him out like a hen. Hu Shi was struggling, twisting his neck and looking back, hoping that her husband would come to save her. Second Master Song wanted to save her, but they had already been beaten before they beat the drum, and it would be hard to stand now. support. On the one hand, the daughter-in-law was facing the board by herself, and on the other hand, the husband and wife faced the board together. Second Master Song instinctively flinched, standing aside with his head drooping, not daring to look anywhere, and regretting it in his heart. What kind of emperor will support the common people, see that the grandfather of the country, who is majestic, dare to call the emperor's bodyguards...
Just thinking about it, the eunuch's sharp message suddenly came from the front, saying that the emperor and the king of longevity had arrived.
Song Erye's legs softened, and he fell to his knees on the ground, shivering non-stop.
Guo Boyan glanced at him disdainfully, and led his wife and daughter to salute the emperor.
There was silence in the hall, and the muffled sound of Mr. Hu hitting the board was clearly heard outside. Emperor Xuande sat on the dragon chair with a blank face, looked at the gray-clothed people who were almost lying on the ground, and said, "Who are you? Why are you like that? Report to Duke Wei?"
Song Erye was even afraid of the county magistrate. He had lost three souls just after being looked at by Guo Boyan for a long time. Now he was interrogated by the emperor. , I, Caomin, Caomin…”
Stuttering.
Emperor Xuande frowned, and out of the corner of his eye glanced at his son, who was standing alone at the bottom left. Now that his son is older, he is taciturn and reserved, but Emperor Xuande still remembers that when his son was seven or eight years old, the fourth child deliberately imitated the third brother and stammered. Howling came to him and complained.
The people surnamed Song were afraid of the power of heaven, but when their son heard this, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"Bo Yan, you said." Emperor Xuande said displeased.
Second Master Song quickly closed his mouth.
Guo Boyan walked to the middle of the hall, bent down slightly, and said with his hands together: "Back to the emperor, this person is Song and his name is Kuo. He is the uncle of the minister's wife before he remarried. Four years ago, Song Kuo's family of four drove wildly and hit and killed one of them. The old man was sentenced to three years in prison by the local government. At that time, his wife had been in the Song family for six years, and the neighbors were all pity and persuaded her to return to Beijing to go to her mother's house. The wife, orphan, widowed mother, and no uncle to protect her, brought her daughter. Entering Beijing. Without the consent of the Song family, it is indeed inappropriate for the minister to record Jianing in the Guo family tree, but the main reason is that the Song family is thousands of miles away, and it is difficult for the minister to take into account. If Kuo is not willing to give up, the minister must return Jia Ning to the Song family, and he will never bully others, and be cultivated by the emperor's grace for many years."
"That's right." Emperor Xuande said with relief, and asked Song Kuo, "Since you were released from prison last year, why did you go to Beijing to look for someone now?"
Erye Song was still nervous, but he was barely able to say a complete sentence, but he had long forgotten the words he had made with his wife in advance, so he said whatever was in his head: "Caomin, Caomin heard that Jia Ning wants to be a princess. Now..." What he meant was that he lived his life honestly before, forgot his niece, only remembered when he heard the news of his niece, and then went to Beijing to find his relatives.
But Emperor Xuande understood another meaning and scolded angrily: "When you heard about your niece's prosperity, your husband and wife came to find her. If she was just the daughter of a civilian businessman, you would continue to ignore her? Who should be the person who is so aggressive? Mother is willing to leave her daughter to you? Violation of the law comes first, ignorance and injustice come second, and the scoundrel dares to come before me to sue me, come and drag them out to fight thirty big boards, as an example."
The emperor showed his power, and before the Hu family's bench was removed, the guards also pulled Song Erye out, mercilessly.
After disposing of the Song family and his wife, Emperor Xuande rebuked Guo Boyan and said: "The Song family is wrong, you recorded the Song family's daughter in your own name without the consent of the Song family, you should also be punished, temporarily deduct half a year's salary, and close the door for three days. After thinking deeply about my past, once the Song family insists on taking the Song family's daughter, the Guo family cannot stop it. If I hear about any injustice in this matter, I will punish him severely."
"The minister takes orders." Guo Boyan accepted the punishment aloud.
"King Shou is here with me." Emperor Xuande left the dragon chair and took his son with him.
Zhao Heng walked away without squinting.
Guo Boyan's family of three bowed their heads respectfully, and when the emperor's figure disappeared completely, Guo Boyan took the lead, and the family of three walked outside the hall. Under the steps, Mr. Hu had a handkerchief in his mouth and was kneeling on the ground by the guards. He watched the second master of Song being slapped on the ground. The second master of Song had his hands tightly on the bench and his face was as white as paper. There was blood on the buttocks, and the pain was so painful that the tears and snot flowed out together, and there was a groan of pain that was more than penetrating.
Seeing Guo Boyan and the three of them, Hu looked up, angry and hated, and his eyes were about to pop out.
Guo Boyan just smiled coldly, ordered someone to finish playing the board, and sent the couple to the Guogong's mansion.
