Chapter 624: A Century-Old Well
"Average women are like this, let alone Miss Song who has been very arrogant since childhood?" As he said that, Yan Xun'er smiled slightly at Ye Muyao, "It seems that Your Highness, King Wei, you have to be mentally and be vigilant recently. What if a princess suddenly pops up one day."
Ye Muyao was not a fool either. After hearing her words, he was obviously a little surprised and suspicious: "Xun'er, what you mean is..."
"Yes, it's what you mean." Yan Xun'er didn't hide it and said directly, "You have to be more careful recently. What if the Hongluan Star moves and marry a princess?"
After hearing her words, Ye Muyao was also a little distressed for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he sighed: "It seems that we can only make the plan faster, otherwise what if I am sorry for Lan'er then?"
: His Highness King of Wei is really sincere to Miss He. Yan Xun'er stood up, clapped her hands and smiled, "Then let's go back and read the classics as soon as possible. What if your sincere love touches God and guide us a clear path?"
On the other hand, after Song Xuehan returned, she felt more and more uneasy. She had seen Yan Xun'er with her own eyes, and she also realized that there was no affair between the two of them, and it was really just an ordinary friend. But for some reason, she felt more and more uncomfortable.
Could it be that Yan Xun'er is so beautiful that she feels a sense of crisis?
No, it is impossible. Ye Muyao has never been close to women and has elegant ambitions. How could he be a superficial person who only pays attention to appearance?
After thinking about it, Song Xuehan really couldn't think of where his uneasiness came from. He just felt more and more that he could no longer keep Ye Muyao by his side, and he would only have more nights and dreams.
But although she wanted to marry Ye Muyao, she could see that Ye Muyao didn't like her, otherwise they wouldn't have known each other for so many years. Not only did he not take much care of her, he was worse than ordinary friends.
After thinking about it, Song Xuehan still felt that only by asking the emperor to give him a marriage was the only way, and this method was relatively safe. Even if Ye Muyao was not happy, he was still a minister. He could not disobey the emperor's intentions, right?
Song Xuehan thought about it for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was extremely safe. So he immediately made a decision and went to find his grandfather, hoping that he could come to the palace to meet the saint, and asked the emperor to give her and Ye Muyao a marriage.
Although Prime Minister Song has been the prime minister for many years and is very serious in front of outsiders, he still loves his only granddaughter very much. In addition, Song Xuehan herself is also very successful and has no inferior to men in talent and strategy. Song Cheng loves her even more, and it can almost be said that he will always meet his requests.
But in the face of Song Xuehan's request, he was still a little hesitant.
Prime Minister Song looked at Song Xuehan and sighed slowly: "Xuehan, you are the daughter of the Song family. You have been noble since childhood. When you grow up, you are one of the best in appearance and talent. It is not difficult to marry a good man. Grandpa doesn't have any objections to His Royal Highness King Wei, but although he has outstanding appearance and good character, he is just a idle prince after all, and he has no real power. Grandpa is afraid that you will suffer after marrying."
"Grandpa, you are really worried. How could your granddaughter suffer after marrying? Think about it, King Wei is not close to women and has a very good character. If his granddaughter is married, she will definitely be good to his granddaughter. Moreover, think about it, there is no male in our family, and when you are a hundred years later, your granddaughter will not be able to inherit your status. Although King Wei does not have real power, he is still a prince. His granddaughter and he are also a good match." Song Xuehan took Prime Minister Song's arm and acted coquettishly, "Grandpa, think about it, if his granddaughter really marry an official with great power, wouldn't your Majesty be more afraid of you?"
Song Xuehan was very polite, and Prime Minister Song was also moved by her.
Seeing that Song Hui was moved by him, Song Xuehan was secretly happy and quickly hit the railway while it was hot: "Grandpa, Xuehan is not young anymore. Xuehan rarely has a man he likes. Grandpa must not forget to tell this matter like His Majesty."
Song Hui touched Song Xuehan's soft long hair lovingly and said pamperingly: "Silly girl, don't worry, grandpa has promised you, when will he have a date?"
Song Xuehan smiled and his eyebrows were curved, "Thank you, grandpa, I knew that grandpa loved me the most."
Song Hui looked at the child in front of him who had always kept him in his heart and held in his palm. In the blink of an eye, the child who had already learned to speak from a tooth grew into a big girl who was as happy as a flower. He felt both relieved and sad.
Song Xuehan is good at everything, but he is too strong-willed. He doesn't want to burn everything he wants. He doesn't know whether it's good or bad.
Song Hui has always responded to Song Xuehan's request. Since Song Xuehan has expressed his feelings, even if his old bones anger Long Yan, he would ask for something for Song Xuehan.
On the Wei Palace, Ye Muyao naively thought that his meaning to Song Xuehan was clear enough and there would be no misunderstandings again. Little did he know that Song Xuehan had already started planning.
Yan Xun'er didn't expect that this young lady of the Song family was so direct. She would get it if she liked her. She had no idea that Song Hui was about to ask the emperor to give her marriage.
It was December, and it was only half a month before the winter solstice. Yan Xun'er and Ye Muyao looked up ancient books and knew that there was a century-old well in the woods outside the imperial city.
On the winter solstice, a strange phenomenon of nine stars and beads will appear above the ancient well. The spiritual power reflected by the nine stars and beads will be directly poured on the wellhead of the ancient well. At that time, the entrance to the underworld will slowly open through the wellhead of the ancient well.
"Xun'er, the entrance opening time is only when the nine stars are connected, so we must seize the opportunity. If the star path moves and the nine stars are destroyed, we will have to wait until the second year."
Ye Muyao frowned and said to Yan Xun'er while looking through the ancient books.
He has been preparing for this trip to the underworld for a long time. If he missed this time, he would have to wait for the winter solstice next year. He missed He Yanlan and became depressed and sick, so why would he be willing to wait for another year?
Some words came to his mouth, but Yan Xun'er was still hesitant whether to say them.
When Ye Muyao saw Yan Xun'er wanting to speak, he smiled gently and said, "Xun'er, we have known each other for a long time. Just say anything if you have, it's okay."
"Muyao, are you really sure your jade pendant is OK? You must know that the physical body will be burned by the red lotus karma fire and your soul will be scattered."
Yan Xun'er frowned and said with some concern. This is not a joke. If one misses, Ye Muyao will not even have a chance to turn around, so how can he have the next chance?
Ye Muyao took off the jade pendant on his waist, played with it carefully, and then he looked up and smiled warmly at Yan Xun'er.
"Xun'er, don't worry, this is given by a master who was a child when I met a Taoist master. He said that I have wisdom and extraordinary roots and bones, and I will definitely use this jade pendant in the future.
My mother was not favored at that time. When she saw the master say this, she accepted it with great gratitude and asked me to wear it all the time. I just found it interesting and put it on her.
Unexpectedly, this is really a treasure. Since some monk had predicted that I would need it, I will take him with me. If something goes wrong, I will have no regrets.”
When Yan Xun'er heard Ye Muyao say this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She said to Ye Muyao gently: "You will not die, I will do my best to help you."
"Xun'er, thank you!" Ye Muyao put down his jade pendant, looked at Yan Xun'er with a serious look, and said solemnly.
Yan Xun'er was stunned when she heard Ye Muyao say thank you suddenly, but soon laughed and said, "You don't need to be so polite between you and me."
Ye Muyao is just an idle prince. He always takes leave from the emperor when he gets sick every morning. Over time, the emperor will assume that he has no such person. After all, he is unwilling to fight for the world and only wants to travel around the country. Who doesn’t like his brothers.
After the morning court, the emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, tied his hair in the jade hall, looking like a noble person, which was much better than when he was the prince when he was inaction.
The matter had been discussed, and the ministers dispersed when they retired from the court, but Song Hui did not leave and remained in place, as if waiting for the emperor.
The emperor still respects this prime minister very much. When he was the crown prince, he was promoted and inspired by Song Hui many times, and was grateful to him. Song Hui is a minister who has experienced three dynasties. Even if the emperor is a bastard, he will still be a little afraid of it.
"Old Song, do you have anything else?" The emperor raised his head and saw that Song Hui was still in place, and said gently.
Song Hui bowed to the emperor and said, "The emperor is wise, the old minister really has something to ask for."
"Old Song, it's okay." The emperor knew very well that Song Hui was not the kind of person who made trouble for nothing. It was rare to ask for help over the years.
When Song Hui saw the emperor asking him to speak, he didn't go around for many turns and said bluntly: "The emperor loves you very much, and the old minister has no other choice in his life. The only thing he cares about is his granddaughter Xuehan.
Now that Xuehan is over and over, it is time to marry her. I thought, it would be better to find a good marriage for Xuehan as soon as possible, and the old minister would have no worries."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately understood Song Hui's intention.
"Mr. Song doesn't have to worry. I will naturally find a good marriage for Xuehan to relieve your worries. I see that General Liu's son is already at the age of marriage and his family is not bad..."
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood the old minister's meaning. You also know that Xuehan is strong-willed and would rather be broken than be a complete one, and no one can force anything he doesn't want to do."
Seeing that the emperor had already begun to think about which young master was not married and was comparable to the Song family's lintel, Song Hui quickly interrupted.
"Oh? What does Mr. Song mean by saying it directly."
