Chapter 98 Choose who you want to marry! (4K)

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Fu Liumei blinked her big eyes and looked at her sister in confusion.

"No, it's nothing..."

For some reason, Fu Er Niang suddenly felt her face getting very hot and her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat.

She quickly squatted down to pick up the comb, and after standing up, she hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking:

"Sixth sister, you...are you afraid that I will tell Daddy about you stealing flowers, so you deliberately made up this lie to deceive your sister?"

"I didn't lie to you, sister." Fu Liumei immediately shook her head like a rattle. "That's what Dad said. He said someone was sent by the Queen, asking Dad to marry you to General Li."

Hearing the name "Queen Sister", Fu Erniang couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

When the eldest sister got married, the sixth sister had just learned to speak. They had not lived together since childhood, so naturally she was not close to the eldest sister, and it seemed a bit inappropriate when she called her.

At this time, Fu Liumei suddenly said, "Oh, no, I remember now. The Queen seems to want Dad to marry my sister and me to General Li."

As she spoke, she giggled and clapped her hands, looking excited.

"Then I don't have to separate from my sister, and we can play together again!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, girl? You have no shame in speaking without restraint..."

Fu Er Niang immediately spat and reached out to pinch Fu Liu Mei.

"Ouch—" Covering her arm that was pinched and hurt, Fu Liumei said tearfully, "I'm getting married at the same time as my elder sister, and I can still play with my brother-in-law. What's wrong with that..."

"Play, play, play. Play is all I think about all day long."

Fu Erniang pointed her finger at her sister's forehead, and said with a hint of disappointment, "How old are you? How come you still don't understand anything? You are such a silly and stupid girl!"

"I'm not stupid." Fu Liumei pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "I understand getting married. It's just about having children. I'm not a child anymore."

"Then you know how to give birth to a child..."

However, Fu Erniang regretted the moment she said it. How could she have the nerve to say such a thing in public?

Unexpectedly, Fu Liumei blurted out: "Sleeping in the same bed with my husband will allow me to have a baby..."

Fu Erniang was stunned and asked, "Who taught you these nonsense?"

As she is now over 20 years old, she has long been exposed to the kind of flower pictures that women must see before getting married, so she is naturally not completely ignorant of matters related to the bed.

But Fu Liumei was not yet at that age, and she followed him around all the time, with no one teaching her these things. Naturally, she was ignorant and stupid.

I don't know where she heard these half-understood remarks...

Fu Erniang suddenly felt very embarrassed and quickly pushed Fu Liumei out: "Ajie is feeling a little unwell, you go and have fun by yourself, I'll take a rest by myself."

"Sister, are you sick? I'll go get a doctor for you..."

Fu Liumei actually took her sister's words seriously and clamored to find a doctor to check her out.

"No need, sister just needs to rest for a while."

Fu Er Niang pushed and shoved Fu Liu Mei out of the room.

After closing the door, she leaned against it and pressed her chest hard, trying to calm herself down, but her heart was beating so fast that it was no use.

"It seems that I am really a little sick..."

Walking to the bed, Fu Er Niang lay on her side, covering her chest with one hand and gently stroking her hot cheek with the other, muttering something in her heart.

It took a long time for her heartbeat to gradually stabilize.

"Get married..." Thinking back to what her sister had just said, Fu Er Niang felt that this matter should be true.

As for what my younger sister said about the two of them getting married together...it must be that the sixth sister heard it wrong. I think it was the eldest sister who asked her father to choose between her and her younger sister.

As she thought about it, Fu Erniang's thoughts became more and more confused. When she heard about this for the first time, it was difficult for her to explain how she felt.

But the only thing that is certain is that she had a very good first impression of Li Yi.

He was handsome, had outstanding skills in riding and shooting, was good at poetry and calligraphy, and held a high position at a young age.

To be honest, there is probably no woman in the world who would be unwilling to marry such an outstanding man.

Although Fu Erniang is not young and has her own opinions, this is her first time dealing with matters of love between men and women.

She didn't know what it felt like to fall in love at first sight, but she knew that if she were asked to marry that man, she would not resist in her heart... She even had a faint expectation.

only--

What should I do if my father finally chooses my sixth sister?
In an instant, a feeling of anxiety and fear of loss surged into Fu Er Niang's heart.

What woman doesn't yearn for love? It's just that she hasn't met the right person yet.

Dengdengdeng-

After an unknown amount of time, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, waking up the dazed Fu Er Niang.

"Sister, here I come!"

The door was suddenly pushed open and Fu Liumei rushed in excitedly.

"Sixth sister, you..."

Before Fu Erniang finished her words, she saw a beautiful woman in luxurious clothes walking in behind Fu Liumei.

"Auntie."

Fu Erniang called out softly, and the person who came in was none other than her father Fu Yanqing's second wife, Yang.

"Second Mother, what's wrong? I heard from Sixth Mother that you're not feeling well." Yang walked to the bedside, reached out and touched Fu Er Niang's forehead, and asked with concern, "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Are you sick?"

Yang was only in her early thirties, only a few years older than Fu Er Niang. Although she was not as beautiful as Fu Er Niang, she had a more mature charm.

When the two stand together, they look more like sisters than mother and daughter.

Of course, the two have no blood relationship.

Fu Erniang shook her head upon hearing this, "No, I was just a little tired, so I lay down to rest for a while."

"That's good."

After saying this, Yang's eyes carefully scanned Fu Erniang's face, and suddenly she chuckled and said, "When I first entered the mansion, Erniang was two years younger than Liuniang is now. I never thought that she would be getting married in the blink of an eye."

Upon hearing this, Fu Erniang's heart trembled.

Yang's words were very explicit, and you could understand what she meant with just a little thought.

It turns out that my father chose me... Fu Er Niang didn't know how to describe her feelings, but she always felt as if a big stone had been removed from her heart.

Yang held Fu Erniang's hand, patted it, and said, "The greatest hope for us women is to marry into a good family. Erniang has been delayed until now, and Alang feels a little sorry for you."

"Second Mother, please don't blame Alang in your heart..."

Fu Er Niang quickly said, "I don't blame my father. He is doing this for my own good. He wants to find a good home for me." Hearing this, Yang was a little surprised. The last time Alang had the idea of ​​choosing a son-in-law, her second mother had also come up with a "knight-errant" incident.

Alang was a little unhappy about this.

Why does it seem so different now?

In fact, Yang came here on her own initiative, not because King Wei asked her to, but because as a stepmother, she wanted to come and comfort him to avoid any trouble.

However, Fu Erniang's attitude was beyond her expectations...but this was also a good thing.

"Since Er Niang thinks this way, A Lang will feel relieved."

Yang chuckled and continued, "Fortunately, the Queen is thinking of you, her younger sister, and has personally arranged a good marriage for you... It's with General Li who visited Alang last time. Second Mother must have seen what he looks like."

"Now he is already the Du Yuhou of the Palace Cavalry, and has been given the title of Beizhou Defense Commissioner. Whether in appearance, character, or status, he is more than worthy of you, Second Mother."

Even though she was mentally prepared, Fu Erniang's face still turned red when she heard the exact news.

She suppressed her embarrassment and said, "Since this is what Daddy and Eldest Sister want, I, your daughter, should obey... It doesn't matter who you marry anyway."

Fu Erniang's last sentence sounded like an attempt to cover up one's mistakes while stealing the bell.

Yang was no fool; she saw what was going on and wondered, "Could it be that Second Mother already knew that A-Lang had invited Li Duyuhou to the Lantern Festival?"

……

This is my first visit to Prince of Wei, Fu Yanqing.

Li Yi accidentally created a joke and ended up entering the Prince of Wei's mansion through the back door.

But the second time he came was different. He walked through the main gate openly.

Fu Zhaoxin, the eldest son of King Wei, personally welcomed Li Yi into the mansion at the gate.

And then they arrived at a hall.

Just like last time, Prince Wei Fu Yanqing stood on the steps with a smile on his face and went out to greet him personally.

Although Li Yi's status is very high now, compared with King Wei, he is still not qualified to be greeted at the gate. It is a great courtesy for King Wei to wait for him at the hall door.

"It was New Year's Day since we last met. I finally see Li Du Yu Hou again."

Fu Yanqing was smiling, and his complexion didn't seem to have changed much compared to last time.

However, only a few months had passed. Even if he aged rapidly, it would be impossible to tell the difference in such a short period of time. Moreover, Fu Yanqing was still in good health and had taken good care of himself.

Li Yi hurriedly bowed and said, "Junior pays homage to the King of Wei."

"No need to be polite."

Fu Yanqing's attitude was even more friendly than last time. He immediately supported Li Yi and pulled him into the hall.

As I walked into the hall, a warm feeling hit me in the face. There were many more charcoal braziers for heating. Compared to the last time I came in summer, this time it was the coldest time of winter.

The layout of the hall was no different from last time, but this time only Li Yi was entertained, so there were no other people to bother him like last time.

Fu Yanqing took Li Yi directly to the upper seat and sat opposite him. A group of maids immediately filed in and served wine, food and dried fruits one after another.

At this time, Li Yi and Fu Yanqing sat opposite each other, feeling inexplicably dazed... The last time he came, he could only sit below the King of Wei, but this time he could sit on an equal footing with the other party.

If Li Yi had not been the commander of the cavalry in front of the palace and the defense commander of Beizhou, he would not have received such treatment.

A few months passed in the blink of an eye, and things are completely different now, like a dream.

However, Li Yi also felt that with his current status, he might not be qualified to sit with the King of Wei... unless he was further promoted to the title of Jiedushi.

As for Fu Yanqing's current enthusiasm, perhaps there are other deeper meanings.

Before Li Yi could think about it, Fu Zhaoxin came back with two half-grown boys.

After the introductions, I learned that one was the eleven-year-old second son of King Wei, Fu Zhaoyuan, and the other was the nine-year-old third son of King Wei, Fu Zhaoshou.

Li Yi finally understood that Fu Yanqing was so enthusiastic and invited him to sit with him because he wanted to have a family dinner.

Otherwise, the two young sons would not be brought along as well... Could it be that they were brought along to meet their brother-in-law in advance?

Li Yi thought about it and suddenly felt that getting married seemed to be a sure thing.

as predicted.

Not long after the banquet began, Fu Yanqing finally spoke up and brought up the business.

"Everyone knows that I have three daughters, and the eldest daughter is the current queen. I don't have to worry about anything anymore, and she even orders me around."

As he spoke, Fu Yanqing laughed. Although he was the Queen's father, it was somewhat inappropriate to say these words openly.

After all, the status between the king and his subject is greater than that between father and daughter.

However, when chatting privately at home, people naturally don't have to be so cautious about what they say.

Moreover, the fact that Fu Yanqing said these things in front of Li Yi also proved that he did not regard Li Yi as an outsider.

"Li Du Yu Hou, you and I both come from military backgrounds and are used to being straightforward. Let's not talk nonsense."

Fu Yanqing restrained his smile and looked serious.

Li Yi's heart was slightly moved when he heard this. He immediately sat up straight and bowed, saying, "Junior is all ears."

Fu Yanqing nodded and said thoughtfully, "The Queen promised to be your matchmaker. Her words are as good as gold... How about this? I have two daughters waiting to be married. You decide which one you want to marry, and we'll finalize the matter today."

This... Li Yi didn't expect Fu Yanqing to be so direct.

Logically speaking, shouldn't you sound out the situation first and then give some hints in a roundabout way?

How come this is not according to the routine?
Fu Yanqing's straight hook caught Li Yi off guard.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted. Since Fu Yanqing was so straightforward, there was no need for him to pretend.

Li Yi said sincerely, "I am grateful for the favor shown to you by the King of Wei. I am willing to marry my daughter to you. Everything is up to you, King of Wei!"

"Okay, that's easy then." Fu Yanqing was quite impressed and immediately made the decision, "In that case, my daughter is quiet and elegant, proficient in needlework and string music, and knows some poetry and calligraphy. Although she is older than you, she is definitely a good match. What do you think?"

It seems that Fu Yanqing had already made up his mind and was ready to marry Fu Er Niang. If Li Yi really didn't know how to choose, the marriage might be ruined.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi didn't waste any words. He stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings to Taishan." He responded directly with his actions.

"Okay, please sit down, dear son-in-law."

Fu Yanqing didn't care whether this was in accordance with etiquette or not and agreed readily.

After Li Yi took his seat, Fu Yanqing continued, "My second daughter is already quite old, so there's no need to delay her marriage any further. When you return to Tokyo, I'll arrange the six ceremonies. Once everything is ready, we'll come and set a date for the wedding."

The King of Wei is worthy of being a great general. Once he makes a decision, he will carry it out with great vigor and determination, without any hesitation in his words.

"My son-in-law obeys your orders."
