Tianhuang nobleman

Qi Xiao laughed mockingly: "What are they here for?"

Jiang Deqing bowed and said: "I heard that the King of Lingnan was worried about Princess Roujia, so he ordered the second son to accompany him. Princess Kangtai has never been to the capital, so he came together."

Bai Ren frowned, and looked at Qi Xiao unconsciously, Qi Xiao waved his hand to let everyone go down, and the two entered the inner room.

For the past six months, Bairen has sent a document to the King of Lingnan every half a month. Except for the matter with Qi Xiao, he has reported everything in detail. He has done it all. Since he came to Beijing, although he has caused some troubles, it has not made it difficult for Lingnan. He thinks that he can satisfy the King of Lingnan, Bai Ren frowned: "Then what is it to send Wen Yu here now?" ? If you are really willing to part with him, why did you send me here in the first place?!"

Qi Xiao patted Bai Ren's hand reassuringly, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing more than two things to let your concubine younger brother come here at this time. People's thoughts... Naturally, this should not be possible, not to mention that you have handled things properly in the past six months, and with your favored concubine, you will not let Wen Yu go for you. Then there is only one possibility... At first, your royal father didn’t expect that you would be able to live like a fish in water in the middle of the capital like a fish in water, and live in peace and stability until now, and quietly betrothed your sister, your royal father...or your concubine, hurry up! I want to send your younger brother to take a share of the pie. The Roujia wedding is a major event in the marriage between the imperial city and Lingnan. You can make friends with many nobles in the imperial city by taking this opportunity. Your younger brother is not stupid. Such a good opportunity, Will he give it to you?"

Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "I'm afraid there is still the meaning of monitoring you... The King of Lingnan sent you to be a hostage at the beginning, and he was already determined to abolish the establishment, but now you have gained a firm foothold in the imperial city, and you are on good terms with me." He said that he was also married to the He family, and the emperor has always been kind to you. With the support of the imperial city, it would be impossible to deprive you of the position of the eldest son of the eldest son. After all... who will be the future Lingnan throne? Succession is up to the emperor, and your father and concubine also thought of this, so naturally they couldn't sit still."

These Bairen also thought of it, so they couldn't help but get angry, it's fine if they just came to worry him, but now that Roujia's wedding is coming, those two people come... Bairen doesn't know what trouble they will cause.

Unlike Bairen, Qi Xiao was not angry at all when he heard the news, instead he was faintly happy. The more unstable Bairen's status is, the more he has to rely on himself. This is naturally what Qi Xiao likes to see, so of course skip this inconvenience. Said, since childhood, Bai Ren has always been angry with the concubine's lineage. They used to be far away in the sky and Qi Xiao couldn't reach them. Now they send them to their door for Qi Xiao to perform. If Qi Xiao doesn't do something, he will be too sorry for himself.

These words are naturally not easy to say to Bai Renming, Qi Xiao smiled and said: "What's the matter, let me tell you a way, so that you and Rou Jia don't have to face them every day, how about it?"

Bai Ren's eyes lit up: "What method?"

Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "I originally thought that after Princess Roujia came to Beijing, let her live in the princess's mansion for a while, one is to let her aunt teach her some private affairs in the house, and the other is to take her to see her before the big wedding. The people here will have to move around a lot in the future. It’s better to get to know each other earlier. No matter how hard you and I try, we can’t get involved in the affairs of the inner house woman. He Zichen’s mother is widowed and useless at home, so he has to be Rely on aunt, she is the best at taking care of these things, you can rest assured."

The fief king is not allowed to enter the capital without an edict, and the Lingnan king and princess probably won't be able to come when Roujia gets married. Bai Ren was worried that there would be no one old enough to teach his sister, and when he heard this, he said happily, "Really?"

Qi Xiao raised his hand and scratched Bai Ren's face: "Can I still tease you? Is this arrangement okay?"

Bai Ren nodded hurriedly, Qi Xiao took his hand and squeezed it with a smile: "As for you... I have already greeted the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and any arrangements for the marriage of Princess Roujia must first go through Prince's Mansion, they can start to supervise after I nod my head, so, your little brother-in-law will naturally come to my side to discuss with me frequently for your sister's marriage, don't your concubine brother and concubine sister want to come to Beijing, your sister Brother, let the palace come out and let the two of them live by themselves."

Bai Ren couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard that, and the frustration just now was wiped away, Qi Xiao leaned closer and kissed Bai Ren's forehead, and smiled softly: "Your Highness Gu arranged this well for His Royal Highness, how should His Royal Highness repay Gu?" ?”

Bai Ren's face turned red slightly, Qi Xiao smiled, and led him into the room.

Three days later, the send-off team from south of the Five Ridges entered Beijing in a mighty manner, and the emperor ordered the Minister of Rites to go out of the city to meet them in person, and received them directly in the palace.

"Let me take a look..." Princess Dunsu also entered the palace early in the morning, and waited in the Qianqing Palace with the empress and several high-ranking concubines. I was married to Lingnan Prince's Mansion, so I didn't avoid suspicion, so I came with Bairen, and after a long and complicated ceremony, everyone met each other. Princess Dunsu first called Princess Roujia to her side, and took her by the hand carefully. Looking at it, Rou Jia is at the age of twenty-eight, a flower-like age, and she is a beauty herself. Although the exhaustion of the journey cannot hide her fatigue, her flaws are not concealed, and she is still beautiful. Princess Dunsu shook her head and said happily, " It’s really cheap for my nephew, this appearance, this appearance... Look at the empress, she is the same as the Lingnan princess when she was young."

Rou Jia quickly bowed her head and said: "Princess, you are so praised..." Although Rou Jia is modest, her actions are dignified and polite, not cowardly but gentle, Princess Dunsu likes it more and more, and turns her head Smiling to Empress Feng, "Empress, do you still remember Princess Lingnan? She was also at such a good age when she got married..."

Empress Feng smiled dryly and nodded. The King of Lingnan and his concubine were married in Beijing back then, so Princess Dunsu had an impression, but at that time Empress Feng had never married the current emperor. How could she be the daughter of an ordinary family? Seeing the first concubine of the year, Princess Dunsu didn't know whether she had forgotten it or something, she still praised herself: "When I saw Bai Ren at that time, I thought that Princess Roujia couldn't be wrong, but I didn't expect... Think even better, Your Majesty, what do I say? This marriage, but we made money?"

The emperor laughed loudly: "Naturally...Wen Yu, are your father and mother concubine okay?"

When Dongling Wenyu saw the emperor asked him, he quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Thank you, the emperor, for your concern. The father, mother and concubine are in good health. Before coming, the father and the king repeatedly asked the minister to take care of the emperor."

Qi Xiao has been looking at Dongling Wenyu since everyone entered the hall. He is also fifteen this year. It is said that he is only three months younger than Bairen. Although he is Bairen's younger brother, he is not at all like Bairen. It's okay to look a lot worse than Bai Ren, but there is a slippery air in every action, which is petty and not on the stage. Compared with Bai Ren's indifference and self-sufficiency, it is a sky and a ground. Of course, Bai Ren Now he is never as indifferent to him as he is to others, just like last night...

Qi Xiao was distracted, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Bai Ren. He saw that Bai Ren had been looking at Rou Jia. Although he didn't show anything on his face, his eyes were full of concern. On the other hand, Rou Jia also looked at her from time to time. Bai Ren, wishing Bai Ren could see through it, Qi Xiao felt a little unhappy, and then he thought that Rou Jia was going to marry soon, so he let go, and when he had a husband and children, how could he have the time to care about Bai Ren?Bai Ren must be his own alone...

The emperor was still sighing: "Your father and I have not seen each other for nearly ten years. Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle..." Wen Yu quickly agreed, and he also did his homework. The inkstone bestowed by the emperor has been placed in Wang's study all the way to the paddock where the Lingnan king and the emperor rode and hunted together in the middle of Beijing. Princess Kangtai stood there alone and no one paid attention to her. Empress Feng was afraid that she would not look good, so she smiled and said, "This is the second girl, right? Come here and let me have a look..."

When Kangtai heard the words, he hurried forward to salute. Kangtai was just 14 years old this year, his face was still childish, but there was a calculating look in his eyes. When Queen Feng asked if the journey was tiring, Kangtai hurriedly smiled and said: "Not tired, I have always been stronger than my sister. When I came here, I sent all the maids to my sister's carriage to take care of her. I also sent all the fox fur mattresses to my sister's car. It's a pity... my sister is still tired. I'm so anxious that I can't do anything."

Empress Feng smiled and sighed softly: "Good boy, you are really sensible... You worry about Roujia, but you also have to feel sorry for yourself. At such a young age, it's not for fun to be tired."

Kangtai turned his head to look at Roujia, blinked at Empress Feng, and said with a low laugh: "But... my sister is here to get married, so it doesn't matter what I do, if I make my sister tired and cold, it will delay the good things , isn't it my fault?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall laughed, Rou Jia blushed, nodded without saying anything, but smiled lightly, the smile did not reach her eyes.

Qi Xiao looked at Kangtai's innocent smiling face and smiled mockingly in his heart, thinking that this is also an inefficient lamp.

After laughing, Princess Dunsu chatted with Kangtai, then took Roujia's hand, and asked her carefully what she likes to eat and play, what good mountains and rivers she saw on the way to Beijing, Beijing and China. It's cold, but it's still bearable, etc. Roujia answered carefully, Princess Dunsu commented on her speech secretly, the more satisfied she looked at Roujia, the more kindly she looked.

Everyone talked for a long time, and the emperor gave a family banquet again, and the quarrel didn't end until Xushi. Qi Xiao couldn't let Bai Ren go to his house on such a day, so he only asked Jiang Deqing to say something to Bai Ren Just tell him not to take everything to heart, and wait for him to vent his anger on him.

After hearing this, Bai Ren was puzzled all the time, and didn't understand what Qi Xiao meant until the next day...

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Deqing, the chief manager of the Prince's Mansion, personally sent a carriage of things to the Lingnan Palace, saying that His Royal Highness had specially prepared some gadgets for the princesses and sons to enjoy, Wen Yu Hearing this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly came out to greet Jiang Deqing. Jiang Deqing smiled lightly, and offered the gift slip with both hands. It is something for myself, what are the four treasures of the study, antiques and rare books, there is no lack of everything, Wen Yu is happy to have these things, and at the same time proud of such a face, coming to Beijing by himself, even the prince attaches so much importance to it, Wen Yu turned a page and then looked down, The more he looked at it, the more he felt it was wrong. He thought that he had given him a lot, but he didn't want to write all the things in the back, which were all for Roujia, and everything was a treasure...

Jiang Deqing stood expressionless at the door and sang loudly: "A pair of white jade ruyis, eight east beads, four old agate bracelets, two silk and red gold inlaid necklaces, four pairs of emerald bracelets, four pieces of brocade, python Eight bolts of gold, twelve bolts of gold with large glitter, twelve bolts of gold with small glitter, and sixteen bolts of satin of various colors..."

The servants hurriedly transported things to Roujia Courtyard, Jiang Deqing shouted for a long time before resting, and whispered to the servants: "The rest is for Princess Kangtai, don't send it by mistake."

The servants quickly agreed, and Jiang Deqing cleared his throat: "Two strings of pearls, four rings with crimson stone patterns. Second son, everything is here, and the old slave will go back first." Jiang Deqing respectfully gave Wen Yu made a bow, turned around and left.

Wen Yu looked at the last few things given to Kangtai on the gift list stupidly for a long time, and turned around in a hurry to find his sister. Before entering the hospital, he heard the sound of Kangtai smashing things. advise.

In the prince's mansion, Qi Xiao smiled satisfied when he heard Jiang Deqing's reply. If Kang Tai dared to step on Sister Bairen's face in front of him, then he had to let her know what it means to be truly shameless.
