A letter was placed on King Yanbei's desk, sealed with wax, heavy and unsigned.
Su Fengnuan picked up the letter and opened it suspiciously. When he saw the handwriting on the letter, he immediately rolled his eyes.
Ye Chang leaned forward to take a look, and suddenly laughed. Looking at the several pages of rice paper in Su Fengnuan's hands, full of handwriting, he said, "I'm full of complaints, I don't know what I'm talking about? Probably something serious happened. Otherwise, he wouldn't be afraid of being laughed at by you, so he would chatter so much with you in the letter."
Su Fengnuan nodded sincerely, and looked down at what was written in Su Qing's letter.
Ye Chang also followed him to watch.
King Yanbei looked at the two of them, they were very close, with a natural posture, he thought to himself that it is good to be young, anyone who sees them will feel that they are a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
After two cups of tea, Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang finished reading Su Qing's letter, and were quite speechless for a while.
Su Qing wrote nothing else in the letter, and spent countless pens and inks, only saying one thing, that is, the queen mother and queen have taken a fancy to him, and they want to choose him as a son-in-law. Now he and Madam Su have gone out of Beijing to take refuge in Lingyun Temple He also refused to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday on the grounds of recuperation, and asked Su Fengnuan to help him quickly find a way to let the Empress Dowager and the Empress dispel the idea of choosing him as a son-in-law, otherwise he would simply become a monk in Lingyun Temple alright.
Su Fengnuan didn't expect that the Queen Mother and Empress would have taken a fancy to Su Qing and wanted to assign Princess Shuya to her as a son-in-law. If Princess Shuya was a pleasing princess, it would be fine, but she is a stupid princess who has no brains, obsessed with Xu Yunchu, and repeatedly troubled her because of her relationship with Xu Yunchu. To be honest, she didn't want Shuya either. The princess is her third sister-in-law.
But now Northern Zhou has just retreated in Yanbei, and now Zhengxing soldiers in the western region have taken down the three cities in Northern Zhou, and Sun Zeyu's handling of the two old cases in the middle of the court has not yet been completed, and Qiufeng Mountain was bloodbathed by people, involving the king of Xiangjun. The big case, the internal worries of King Xiangjun have not been resolved, even if the queen mother and queen are interested, is this a good time to give Shuya a marriage for a happy event
What's more, does the emperor care about his daughter's marriage
She felt that Su Qing must have been frightened by the sudden cordiality of the Queen Mother and Empress, she was afraid of making fun of her for a while, so she stuffed the letter into Yanbei's official document and sent Yanbei to her, she must have hated it Through Princess Shuya.
She put down the letter, turned her head to Ye Chang and asked, "What do you think?"
Ye Chang curled his lips and said, "You saved Yanbei, and General Su took down the three cities in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. This is a great achievement for the Southern Qi court. Earlier, General Su defeated the Northern Zhou army. I have something to say first, after General Su has finished handling the follow-up matters in the western region and returned to Beijing, he will be conferred the title of Marquis Wu, and the Su Mansion will be renamed Wuhou Mansion. Because General Su has not returned to Beijing, this matter has been delayed, but The Ministry of Rites has already been making the official uniform of Marquis Wu."
Su Fengnuan looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Ye Changdao, "Marquis Wu's conferment is for previous meritorious deeds. For such a great achievement now, it will definitely be rewarded in the future. For General Su, if he goes up, he will be crowned king. Yan Beisu The family is already a king with a different surname. If there is another king with a different surname in the Su family in the capital, the surname Su will surpass the surname Liu in this world. The power is too great, even if the emperor trusts General Su to be loyal, but you think you can give him King?"
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "My father can no longer be crowned king."
Ye Chang said, "That's right, but you can't be crowned king, so how do you judge meritorious deeds? The meritorious service of General Su is there. So, what if the emperor marries a daughter? Give the princess a marriage, and the princess marries the courtier's family. It is also the honor of a courtier, so it can be regarded as a reward, right? Can General Su refuse it? How will the princess think the emperor thinks it if he refuses?"
Su Fengnuan's mausoleum suddenly cleared up. When she suddenly saw Su Qing's letter, she didn't take it seriously, but now after Ye Chang's analysis, she suddenly felt that this matter was indeed serious and should not be underestimated. .
Ye Changdao, "Scholar Wang dared to reject the emperor back then. It was because the palace did not hold military power. Bachelor Wang once served as the crown prince and tutor, and he had a teacher-student relationship with the emperor. His aunt did not want to enter the palace. Only this beloved daughter, naturally protects her in every possible way, and the emperor is not easy to persecute, so she gives up. But today's Su Mansion is different from the former Wang Mansion, and the national power of Nanqi is also different from the past. Back then, after the new emperor was enthroned and elected, now The emperor is already exhausted, the crown prince is useless, he has to think about the future of Southern Qi."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "You are right."
Ye Chang said again, "Scholar Wang has been trusted by the emperor for a long time, thinking that the emperor never persecuted Auntie back then, if the Su family is unwilling today, the emperor may not persecute her, I'm afraid it's hard to avoid thinking of other things for a while."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "You're right, this matter really shouldn't be taken lightly." After saying that, she rubbed the center of her brows and said, "I have to think of a perfect plan."
Ye Chang smiled and said, "You and I are married, and you have three elder brothers above you, should we also discuss marriage?"
Su Fengnuan raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, "You mean that you want my mother to give my third brother's marriage an appointment before the queen mother and queen say anything? The eldest brother and the second brother are not engaged yet, and I, the younger sister There is no elder sister above, so it is natural to discuss marriage first, but there are two elder brothers above the third brother, they are not engaged, how can he make an appointment first? If you want to make an appointment, you can only make an appointment together." After finishing speaking, she said with a headache, "But short Within a short period of time, where can I find three suitable women to marry my three older brothers? Besides, a lifelong matter is a big deal, so we can't simply just pull someone up just because of this, and it will be difficult if they like it."
Ye Chang smiled and said, "The three of them have never had a favorite woman since they were young?"
Su Fengnuan thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is really no such thing. In the past, the Su family was in the countryside, and my father didn't like to make friends with the wealthy family of the country gentry. There are few poor women in the common people's family who are literate, let alone knowledgeable? Say no Go to one place. The elder brother and the second elder brother traveled to Yanbei, did not stop, and now they turned back to the west. The third elder brother was in Beijing because of the advice of the prime minister, but he often went to the prime minister's mansion. He met Sun Qingxue a few times, and some words, My mother and I made fun of Miss Sun Fu at the beginning, but he didn't seem to care much about it, what he said at the time was that there are two elder brothers at the top, he is not in a hurry, first establish a career, and then start a family."
Ye Chang pondered, "Miss Sun's family is not bad. Whether it's family background or character, she can be regarded as a real lady. The third brother Su is both civil and military. The prime minister likes to value him very much. There are very few people in Beijing who can match him in character, if he is interested in Miss Sun, it is not impossible to find someone to talk about the marriage." After finishing speaking, he continued, "If the situation forces you, you don't have to obey the elders. Brother is the big rule, let's arrange a marriage for him first, after all, the empress dowager and empress are looking for him."
Su Fengnuan nodded and said, "I also like Sun Qingxue, but it depends on what my third brother thinks, and what Miss Sun thinks."
Ye Chang said, "You might as well write back and ask him what he means. If he is interested, we will work on it as soon as possible before the empress dowager and empress propose to the emperor."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Alright."
King Yanbei sat on the side, listening to the two discussing for a long while, and also heard some clues, and asked Su Fengnuan, "A letter from your third brother Su Qing?"
Su Fengnuan nodded, and handed the letter to King Yanbei.
King Yanbei took the letter, read it, and said with a smile, "This kid is interesting. I often heard you mention him before. Among your three older brothers, he is said to be the one with the highest talent, both civil and military?"
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Third brother is about the same age as me, and has always been close. When I was at home, I often fought with him. I practiced a large part of his martial arts. His literary talent followed my grandfather. After returning to Beijing , Grandpa took him by his side to teach him, and later he had to be raised by the prime minister. Now he is indeed capable of both civil and military skills."
The King of Yanbei nodded, "No wonder the Empress Dowager and Empress have taken a fancy to him." After finishing speaking, he added, "Whenever he comes to Yanbei, I will also take a look at him."
Su Fengnuan looked at King Yanbei and saw that his eyebrows were trembling, as if he was planning something, she secretly rolled her eyes, turned around and wrote a letter to Su Qing.
In the letter, he first teased him unceremoniously, and then solemnly told him about the interests mentioned by Ye Chang, and stated that this matter should not be underestimated, and it is indeed necessary to start in advance. She proposed to let him discuss the marriage first, and settle the marriage before the queen mother and queen proposed to the emperor. She specifically mentioned Sun Qingxue and asked him if he was interested. If he was interested, she and Ye Chang would secretly arrange the matter.
After finishing writing the letter, she called a guard and ordered the horse to hurry up and send it to Lingyun Temple in the capital immediately.
That day, Su Zhen listened to King Yanbei's words and sent two guards out of Yanbei to Lushan Academy to bring back Su Nianlin and Su Nianzhi.
The next day, Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan dealt with Yanbei's affairs together, and they got two letters. They were overjoyed, put everything away, closed the door of the room with the letters, and began to grind.
After a snowfall, Yanbei really entered the cold winter. Although Ye Chang's body has heat poison, but when the heat poison does not attack, he is afraid of being very cold. He used to hug the big white cat to sleep and use the cat to keep warm. Su Fengnuan stayed together day and night, warming each other, and he was in a good mood. After finding a way to get along, his relationship became stronger and stronger, and his injury recovered quickly.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and this day came to Ye Chang's birthday.
