Marriage of the Di Daughter

When Jiang Yuanbai came out of the imperial study, his hands were full of wet sweat. What he just said was what Jiang Li told her that day. At first, he was skeptical, and finally he was persuaded by Jiang Li.

Rather than let Cheng Wang win over another Shen Yurong, it's better to let Cheng Wang marry the Li family, who was originally his man. After the Li family married King Cheng, it was almost clear to the world that right phase was king Cheng's man.

When the Li family took refuge in Cheng Wang, they were furtive. Although the upper and lower levels of the court are tacit now, it has not been shown on the surface. If emperor Hong Xiao agrees, it is equivalent to letting the right prime minister be completely tied with King Cheng. This seems to be a good thing for Cheng Wang. Kiss on top of each other. But once it is announced to the world, if one day, Cheng Wang raises an issue and Cheng Wang is defeated, the Li family will go to hell with Cheng Wang without any reason.

Share happiness and difficulties, of course.

For emperor Hong Xiao, it should also be an easy decision.

Jiang Yuanbai thought like this, and walked out quickly without stopping. He has already said that as for how Hong Xiaodi chooses, he can't control it.

In the imperial study, Emperor Hong Xiao was looking at the folding son in front of him and thinking deeply.

Duke Su followed around, and Emperor Hong Xiaodi suddenly asked, "Li Xian, the eldest son of the Li family, is now how old?"

Duke Su hurriedly said, "excuse me, Prince Su is 23 years old."

"Twenty three..." emperor Hong Xiao mused, "Shen Yurong is one year older than him. In that case, he is more suitable than Shen Yurong." He said, "I want to draw up a decree."

Su Gonggong hurried to sharpen his ink, only to hear the young emperor say again, "give marriage."

……

The first thing Jiang Yuanbai did when he left the palace and returned to the Jiang mansion was to find Jiang Li reading in fangfeiyuan and call her into his study.

"How do you know that you came into the palace to handle the marriage of Princess Yongning?" Jiang Yuanbai asked.

When Jiang Li said it before, he didn't take it to heart. Now it is confirmed that what Jiang Li said is true, which makes Jiang Yuanbai have to pay attention to it.

"Father still remembers," said Jiang Li, "I have been to the government house before the birthday party of general Ji Lao." Jiang Li put everything on the head of the government without changing her face. Jiang Yuanbai will not go to the government for verification, She said, "I heard these words from their words at the birthday banquet. In fact, what I said to my father that day, that Li Xian was the best person, which was not what I said, but what those people in the government said. It's just that I think these words are extremely reasonable, and my father may be asked about it when he walks around the palace all day. If I can help, it's great."

"What did the people in the government say?" Jiang Yuanbai didn't believe it. "What do people in the government care about these?" Ji Heng had no hatred with King Cheng, and he was not close to the yuan family. In fact, in the whole court, except emperor Hong Xiaodi trusted him, others could not get into Ji Heng's eyes. People in the government seem to stand on the opposite side of Cheng Wang. Although this is very natural - if Ji Heng supports emperor Hong Xiaodi, he will naturally be as powerful as king Cheng. But Jiang Yuanbai also believed that the things Ji Heng did on weekdays seemed too ambiguous and untrustworthy.

"Father, I really can't answer these questions." Jiang Li said honestly, "it's just the Kung Fu of a meal. I really don't know more. If my father wants to know more, people in the government say so, it's better to go to the government in person and ask for clarification."

Jiang Yuanbai choked. How could he go to the government? What would they think when they heard it? Others thought that their yuan family had some private contacts with the government. The emperor was already suspicious. Isn't this adding fuel to the fire.

"But father," Jiang Li looked at him inquisitively, "do you mean that the palace is really preparing for the marriage of Princess Yongning?"

Jiang Yuanbai glanced at Jiang Li. Jiang Li looked at her curiously, thinking that it would be known sooner or later, Jiang Yuanbai sighed and nodded, "today the emperor is still asking me who the right person is. I told the emperor that I think eldest son Li and Princess Yongning are very suitable. As for how the emperor will decide, I don't know."

Jiang Li said, "the emperor will definitely marry Prince Li and Princess Yongning."

"How do you know?" Jiang Yuanbai looked at her suspiciously.

"Can Chaozhong find a second person more suitable than eldest son Li?" Jiang Li took it for granted.

Jiang Yuanbai was speechless for a moment, and then said, "Princess Liu hopes that Zhongshu Shelang will be princess Yongning's son-in-law."

Jiang Li sneered in her heart, but her face was as usual, and said, "Lord Shen's family background is too thin. Besides, the emperor is so optimistic about Lord Shen, how can he be willing to give up Lord Shen? Thinking of the moment when her father raised Prince Li, the emperor decided to marry someone else."

Jiang Yuanbai sighed, "I think so, too."

"Why is father unhappy?"

"Cheng Wang, sooner or later, will know that this matter has me in it. If they were optimistic about Shen Yurong at the beginning, I would disturb this matter, I'm afraid they would hate me."

Jiang Li said lightly, "even if there is no such thing, Cheng Wang and our Jiang family are not friends. In that case, whatever they do, it's better to see who is the master and concentrate on following one person." she meant something. "The grass on the wall will only be thankless on both sides in the end."

Jiang Yuanbai has been tactful. Jiang Li's words are warning him not to take chances. Since he has decided to support emperor Hong Xiaodi, he should not think of being able to live in peace with King Cheng. Jiang Yuanbai naturally heard the implication of Jiang Li and was taught by his daughter. He was also a little angry. But seeing Jiang Li's gentle expression, it seemed that she really wanted to think about his father and the fate of the whole yuan family, so she swallowed the scolding from her mouth again.

Well, now he has only such a daughter around him.

Out of Jiang Yuanbai's study, Jiang Li's expression faded.

Princess Yongning's action is faster than Jiang Li imagined. It seems that she is looking forward to this unborn "life". Therefore, I can't wait to promote the marriage with Shen Yurong.

But her abacus was doomed to fail.

Jiang Li walked forward, thinking of Ye Fu Xue Huaiyuan again in her heart. Ye Mingyu sent a message that Xue Huaiyuan had not woken up, but situ Jiujiu said it was not a bad thing. Jiang Li hopes that at least before Xue Huaiyuan wakes up, her plan can go smoothly.

When Xue Huaiyuan really wakes up, he can face the culprit of the Xue family. After a year of impunity, he finally begins to pay the real price.

……

In spring, everything grows and plants are fresh, and many new things have happened in Yanjing city.

But the news of this morning came so suddenly that many people were unprepared.

When Emperor Hong Xiao was in the early Dynasty and was about to retire, he suddenly issued an edict to marry the eldest son of the right prime minister's house and Princess Yongning, the sister of King Cheng, and get married next month.

The gift of marriage came suddenly. At that time, on the Jinluan hall, eldest son Li's face changed in an instant. Later, the right Prime Minister reminded her to go to receive the order. When eldest son Li received the order, he almost tripped.

Cheng Wang's face was also very ugly. It seemed that no one had informed him about it. I think so. The life event of my own sister was suddenly decided. Before that, Cheng Wang didn't know anything. Just in front of all civil and military officials, King Cheng couldn't say anything. What's more, Emperor Hong Xiao didn't give her any chance to say anything at all. After giving her the gift of marriage, seeing that eldest son Li received the order, he retreated from the court with a smile.

A young emperor is in such a good mood.

At the same time, standing in the crowd, Shen Yurong, who has been loved by Emperor Hong Xiao, is also a little gloomy at the moment. He is always gentle and gentle. He always wears a faint smile on his face, but today, it seems that it is difficult to maintain this smile. He didn't greet his friends after he left the DPRK. After pausing, he left with great strides, as if he couldn't stay here for another moment.

After learning the news, Princess Liu went to the palace of mercy and tranquility to discuss with the Empress Dowager.

"Sister," she looked at the Empress Dowager twirling the Buddha bead and said, "it's clear that what I said to you is the marriage between Yongning and Lord Shen. How come the emperor finally married eldest son Li? How can I explain this to Yongning? Sister, are you intentional?"

The Empress Dowager looked at her calmly. Her voice was like a backwater, and she couldn't stir up any waves. She said, "the AI family didn't lie to you. What the AI family and the emperor said is Lord Shen. But the emperor is not a child. He has his own decision, and the AI family doesn't know what the emperor means. Since you don't believe it, go to the emperor and theory, maybe the emperor will change his mind."

Princess Liu was anxious and angry. How could she find emperor Hong Xiaodi? Emperor Hong Xiaodi hated their mother and son for a long time, and it was strange that she would listen to her.

"In fact, it may not be a good thing to replace it with eldest son Li." The Empress Dowager slowly said, "the Youxiang Li family is much richer than the Shen family. This point you care about most is nothing to the Li family."

It's true that Princess Liu's heart moved. Although the emperor's arbitrary marriage made her very angry, Princess Liu didn't like Shen Yurong either. First, she used to be a civilian, and second, Yongning married a second string, which she didn't like. Li Xian is different. No matter how bad the right minister is, he is also the prime minister. Li Xian is also talented and beautiful, no worse than Shen Yurong.

"But Yongning didn't know this," Princess Liu thought about Princess Yongning's temperament, and still felt inappropriate, "how can I explain to her?"

The Empress Dowager is still calm. "Marriage, the orders of her parents and the words of a matchmaker, has been the truth since ancient times. Even if Yongning is a princess, it does not mean that she can choose her son-in-law at will. Compared with those princesses who marry and marry far away, she is already very lucky. Moreover, the fault is not you, nor mourning for your family, which is the will of the emperor. If Yongning does not marry, it is disobedience."

Princess Liu was also upset. If King Cheng did succeed in one fell swoop, who would care about the will of emperor Hong Xiao? Unfortunately, Yongning was very anxious and proposed marriage at this juncture. Now we still need to listen to Emperor Hong Xiao's words.

"Eldest childe Li looks very good, and Yongning is only stubborn for a few days now. When he is really married, he will naturally understand that you are for her good. Don't bother a lot here," said the queen mother. "No matter how much you say, it's useless. If you're still dissatisfied with this, take Yongning and go to your majesty to cry." With these words, the Empress Dowager closed her eyes and looked like she was no longer willing to talk to Princess Liu.

Princess Liu hated in her heart, but she also understood that what the Empress Dowager said was not a lie. Standing in front of the empress dowager, she thought about it and thought it was right. She originally preferred Li Xian to Shen Yurong. Yongning was just childish for a moment. After a few days of trouble, he naturally understood. She didn't say much, turned around and walked out, planning to go back to her side hall first. If Princess Yongning wanted to find her, she should be in her hall now.

……

In Princess Liu's side hall, at this moment, the people knelt on the ground, and the palace ladies shivered, and the ground was full of chaos.

Princess Yongning suddenly broke into here to see Princess Liu. When she learned that Princess Liu was not there, she began to smash things on the table. She looked obviously angry, and the maid who knew the temperament of the Royal Highness Princess did not dare to say a word, just hoping that Princess Liu could hurry back. Although Princess Liu is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, at this time, only princess Liu can stop Princess Yongning.

Princess Yongning panicked.

No one knows how she felt when she learned about the wedding rope. She even heard that the Empress Dowager went to see the emperor. If she wanted to come to the empress dowager, the emperor would not refute it for the sake of face. Who knows Hong Xiaodi? He really didn't refute, but she came alone!

How can this work!

She still has Shen Yurong's children in her stomach. How can she marry someone else? Princess Yongning wanted to find out what was going on. She originally wanted to explain to Shen Yurong. But after going down the court, there was no trace of Shen Yurong in the palace. Princess Yongning couldn't find him. She wondered if he was angry, and her heart was even more flustered. But what is more urgent is that she must quickly correct this mistake.

The most direct way is to let Princess Liu come forward.

Just waiting for the very impatient, the outside maid came to report: "the princess is back."

Princess Yongning stood up and said, "mother Princess!"

"What are you doing?" Princess Liu frowned, looked at the mess, and said unhappily, "Yongning, it's OK for you to fool around on weekdays, but this is not your princess mansion!"

Princess Yongning was unmoved, and her eyes were red and said, "madam, you still love these things. I'm going to be sold. What are you doing with these things?"

"What was sold." Princess Liu said as she stepped over a broken vase, so the palace ladies cleaned it up, sat down on the seat and said, "don't talk nonsense."

"The decree of marriage!" Princess Yongning said loudly, "what I told you is clearly Shen Yurong. How can I become Li Xian? Mother Princess! I won't marry Li Xian. In this life, I will only marry Shen Yurong!"

Princess Liu hurried to let the palace ladies go down and stared at her, "dare to say anything. There are Eyeliner everywhere in the palace. You are not afraid to be heard. I am also afraid."

Seeing that Princess Yongning was really about to cry, Princess Liu explained, "I did tell the Empress Dowager that I wanted to marry Shen Yurong and you, and the Empress Dowager also agreed. For so many years, although I didn't look up to her, I also knew that she wouldn't do anything that was either positive or negative, and she didn't care about these things in the palace. It was Emperor Hong Xiaodi who changed people privately." Speaking of this, a trace of cruelty flashed in Princess Liu's eyes, "this little wolf will trip us if he catches the opportunity. I have already said that it is a disaster for him to keep it!"

"Why did the emperor do this?" Princess Yongning said, "I just want a son-in-law. What's in his way!"

"Who knows, maybe it's just to get in trouble with us." Princess Liu didn't care and said, "Yongning, I'll see. In fact, Li Xian is also good. His father is Youxiang. Youxiang is a person who knows how to praise and is also friendly with your eldest brother. They won't treat you badly if they marry the Li family."

"I said," Princess Yongning said firmly, "I won't marry Li Xian. The only person I want to marry is Shen Yurong!"

"What do you want? It's the imperial edict. If you don't abide by it, it's resistance to the imperial edict and disrespect. Besides, you're a princess. You're not afraid of anything. You're not afraid of resistance to the imperial edict and disrespect. What about Shen Yurong? Shen Yurong is a minister, and you want him to die, and he has to die. Shen Yurong's life and death is not held between the emperor's thoughts. It's the emperor who cares about others and doesn't dare to touch you, but Shen Yurong, he can do it."

Hearing this, Yongning immediately panicked and said, "he can't lay hands on Shen Yurong!"

Princess Liu looked at her, and the panic in Princess Yongning's eyes became more and more powerful. Indeed, maybe emperor Hong Xiao couldn't do anything with her by relying on the power of Cheng Wang, but Shen Yurong could be easily disposed of.

Princess Yongning was almost crying and muttered, "what should I do?"

She was arrogant and arrogant. How could she ever be so weak and helpless? Princess Liu looked at her and asked her, "do you really want Shen Yurong not to marry?"

Princess Yongning nodded.

"I have a way."

Princess Yongning seemed to have caught a straw and couldn't wait to ask, "what way?"

"When I talked with the queen mother before, I didn't mention when to get married. When I wanted to tell the emperor, I didn't mention it. Since the imperial edict said to get married on a certain date, I could say to the emperor, wait a few days, such as this winter. By then..." her voice went down. "The world has changed. Who will take this imperial edict to heart!"

Princess Yongning was stunned, but she understood what Princess Liu meant.

Cheng Wang will raise an issue soon, at least before this winter. As long as it succeeds, this edict is bullshit. The emperor has changed, not to mention the edict.

This is also the only way that Princess Liu can think of. Let Yongning drag the marriage until the imperial edict is useless, and the engagement will naturally not be counted.

But... Princess Yongning shook her head and said, "No."

"Why?" Princess Liu is strange.

Princess Yongning was about to speak, when she suddenly felt a fit of nausea in her throat. She suddenly bent down, covered her mouth and retched. Princess Liu was startled and hurriedly asked someone to hold her, asking the imperial doctor to see if she was unwell.

Princess Yongning grabbed Princess Liu's hand and said, "don't look for a doctor!"

Princess Liu looked at her. Slowly, her eyes changed. She said, "Yongning, you won't..."

"Mother Princess," Princess Yongning looked at her and said in a panic, "I have Shen Yurong's child."

……

Shenyurong is on his way back to his mansion.

Go to the mansion given by the emperor, and there are also some officials around the nearby mansion. When he walked here on weekdays, people knew him and always looked at him with envious eyes. But when I walked home today, I felt that there were laughing eyes all around.

Of course, this is impossible, Shen Yurong only knows. These people can't know his relationship with Princess Yongning. Therefore, I don't know how much trouble the imperial decree of marriage this morning caused in his heart.

That kind of sharp feeling on his back was an illusion, but it reminded him of another time. When Xue Fangfei was caught having an affair with others, people in Yanjing city looked at him with such sympathetic and funny eyes.

Today, the past and the present meet again. So that he almost couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a reality, or what he had done in the past year was just a ridiculous dream. When he opened the door, his beautiful and intelligent Mrs. Shen would greet him with a smile and tenderness.

Like a joke, Shen Yurong thought.

He didn't love Princess Yongning. Every moment he was with Princess Yongning, he had to be perfunctory. When Princess Yongning pestered him, he wanted to push her away. Now, as soon as emperor Hong Xiao's wedding decree came down, he didn't have to push it away, and Princess Yongning couldn't come to him anymore. His heart suddenly panicked.

It seems to take a long time to feed a beast. He hates that the beast is sticky, and it takes him too much time. He can't kill it until the beast grows up slowly, fat and tender. But before the harvest season, the beast suddenly ran away. Draw water with a bamboo basket, so everything is in vain.

Including his beautiful wife, the sacrifice has become worthless.

The imperial decree of Hongxiao emperor's marriage has been issued. Shen Yurong can see it more clearly than others. He knows that there is no room for turning this matter around. Princess Yongning must marry Li Xian. Even if Cheng Wang succeeds in his actions in the future, Cheng Wang will not mistreat the help of the Li family, and he will become a stumbling block for Hengge in Yongning and Li Xian. The Li family and himself, Cheng Wang must choose one.

It seems that he has no chance of winning, because the Li family is rich, but the Shen family has nothing in the past. But even if he got the favor of Cheng Wang with his skills, let Cheng Wang think that the Li family is not as valuable as himself. But that's a tiger. Princess Yongning must resign her marriage to Li Xian if she wants to marry herself again.

This time, Shen Yurong is really wearing a green hat.

Two times "green hat", the first time is that he took the initiative, not hesitate to let himself become the laughing stock of everyone's sympathy for the poor, just to climb up. The second time, he still wanted to climb up, but the more he climbed up, the more unwilling he was to let others laugh at him.

The higher you go, the less you want to lose.

Shenyurong walked to the door of the house, but he didn't want to go in. He knew very well that as long as he approached the Shen family, his mother would meet him, and Shen Ruyun, who got the news, would come back. They would ask themselves what had happened. They regard Princess Yongning as a big tree, and they are the people holding the big tree. Now the big tree is going to fall, so they are in a hurry to ask themselves why.

Why?

It's absurd like a joke, and all coincidence seems that God is deliberately punishing him for those things he did in the past.

There was nothing he could do.

……

Princess Yongning came back to the princess mansion in a daze.

Princess Liu said all the good and bad things, and finally let Princess Yongning understand a fact. This marriage is inevitable, as long as she still wants the baby in her belly to be born in good faith.

When Princess Liu learned that Princess Yongning was pregnant, the first thing she did was to ask someone to decoct the medicine. After pouring a bowl of medicine down, she thought nothing had happened.

It was Princess Yongning who knelt on the ground, hugged Princess Liu's leg and wept bitterly that made Princess Liu soft hearted and change her mind. She hasn't begged so humbly in her life, but these days, she seems to have done everything impossible for this child.

Princess Yongning stroked her lower abdomen and thought of being in the palace of Princess Liu. She desperately asked, "mother, is there really no other way? Can brother think of another way?"

Princess Liu answered her: "I can't tell your brother about this. Your brother is very busy recently and can't be distracted by these things... Besides, Youxiang has a close relationship with him. If your brother learns about this, it's hard to guarantee that Youxiang won't know. That is, no matter how good the relationship is, who can be so generous to accept you marrying into the house with other people's children? If Li Xian doesn't know, on the wedding night, I'll find someone to muddle through for you and find a way to have children in the future. You are If you tell your brother, be careful. "

In desperation, Princess Yongning had to accept this method. Moreover, in order not to show her bosom and be suspected, Princess Liu had to take the initiative to tell the emperor that she hoped to get married next month.

In other words, next month, Princess Yongning will marry into the Li family, become Grandma Li, and conceive this life in the Li family. When the child was born, his father was Li Xian, not Shen Yurong.

Princess Yongning only felt that her strength seemed to be exhausted and she was almost unstable. She looked pale and suddenly felt that everything was weak.

She wanted to marry the Shen family. Even long ago, she began to plan. From the first moment she saw Shen Yurong, she knew that this man belonged to her. She killed Xue Fangfei and cleared all obstacles early, but now, it seems that everything is going well. How can she fail?

In front of her eyes, Xue Fangfei suddenly went to see her before she died. Xue Fangfei was lying on the bed, looking at herself, with a smile on her mouth, and now it looked like ridicule.

Whether she was mocking herself, tried her best, and finally failed. She married someone else and didn't become Mrs. Shen.

Shen Yurong still didn't know that he was pregnant with his child, that he had received the decree of marriage, and that he had never come to see her. Princess Yongning doesn't know what Shen Yurong thinks. Is she angry or doesn't care at all? Or did he feel like himself that all this was ridiculous?

What puzzled her most was how things came to this?
