The parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, this is a legitimate marriage.
Ye Zhenzhen has been entrusted by her parents to take full charge of Ye Pengpeng's marriage. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, she did not have time to write back to ask for her parents' opinions, so she directly sent a message to Princess Wei, asking her to ask a matchmaker to come to her house to ask for names and prepare for the marriage.
.
"Etiquette·Shihunli" says: "The evening ceremony is issued, and the acceptance is adopted."
Neither Princess Wei nor Wei Jinyu expected to settle on the marriage so quickly, and they were happy to see it happen. To show their respect, Wei Jinyu personally went hunting geese as a wedding gift.
Although Ye Zhenzhen was anxious, the necessary rituals were necessary to prevent the other party from underestimating the fourth sister, so she could only wait patiently for Wei Jinyu to go hunting geese.
However, something happened during this period.
Chu Ningyan was pregnant for three months and her pregnancy was going well. Ye Zhenzhen was thinking of going to the Zhou Mansion to visit her, but unexpectedly an eunuch suddenly came to the palace and said he was summoned by the Queen.
At first, the queen did not let her enter the palace despite the reward. Today's sudden summons gave Ye Zhenzhen a bad feeling. The eunuch who came to announce the decree was very strict and did not leak any news. She had to suppress the doubts and curiosity in her heart.
Followed the eunuch to Fengming Palace.
In the Fengming Palace, there were not only the queen, but also the emperor, King Ke and Cui Weizhen. She couldn't help but look at Cui Weizhen, and saw him shaking his head in an imperceptible manner. She had been worried all the way and finally calmed down.
Ye Zhenzhen bowed respectfully, and the queen quickly asked the palace maid to help her up. Her attitude was very kind, and straight to the point she explained the purpose of summoning her to the palace: "Mrs. Cui, I heard that you have a younger sister who is still unmarried?
"
Sure enough, it was for Peng Peng's marriage.
She lowered her eyes: "Reporting to the Empress, my sister is fourteen this year. She has already met her, so she sent a matchmaker to her house to ask for her name. Mr. Wei has gone to the outskirts of Beijing today to hunt wild geese, waiting for Yan Li to accept her.
."
"Oh, why did I hear from King Ke that your sister has not yet told you that she wants to be your concubine?"
Emperor Xuanwu frowned slightly and turned to look at King Ke: "Old Qi, are you mistaken?"
King Ke glanced at Ye Zhenzhen and said to Emperor Xuanwu: "I don't dare to deceive my father. Ever since we met for the first time at Salesian Academy's fundraising event, I fell in love with Miss Ye at first sight and asked someone to ask about Miss Ye."
There is no marriage, so I went to the palace to ask my father to marry me."
Emperor Xuanwu, as the father of the emperor, naturally believed that he loved the prince, but he thought it was because Ye Zhenzhen disliked her son and was pretending to shirk it, and a look of displeasure suddenly appeared on his face.
The emperor's kindness and power are getting stronger and stronger, and his serious face is very scary.
Cui Weizhen stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Zhenzhen, raised his hands in salute, and guessed: "Your Majesty, your wife will never dare to deceive you. It is normal for His Highness King Ke to have errors in his investigation, because his wife's sister's wedding was held at Salesian College to raise funds.
It was decided at the meeting that the man is a clan brother of Princess Wei. At that time, Princess Wei proposed marriage to her clan brother, and the ministers and the female relatives present can all prove it."
This kind of thing that happened in public can be known to be true or false at a glance. It is impossible for Cui Weizhen to lie about this kind of thing. In addition, Emperor Xuanwu had great trust in him, so his expression softened slightly.
Ye Zhenzhen's pounding heart calmed down a little. The moment the emperor's face sank, she really felt the power of the dragon, and deeply realized that this was the ancient time when the emperor had the power of life and death.
Angry, laying down millions of corpses is not just talk.
Fortunately, Cui Weizhen was there, which gave her some courage, and she continued to explain: "King Ke and Princess Ke were the last to arrive that day, and they did not know about the previous relationship. After the meeting, Princess Ke also mentioned the marriage of her sister to the courtier, saying that they would
I acted as a matchmaker for my sister, and I had a verbal agreement with Princess Wei. I did not dare to be a treacherous person, so I politely refused on the spot. If there is any offense, please forgive me, King Ke."
King Ke's face looked a little ugly, and he stared at Ye Zhenzhen and said, "Isn't this king's concubine worthy of Mrs. Cui's sister?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "Your Majesty is serious. My sister is from a humble background and has no talents. She is really not worthy of the position. I dare not even think about the position of His Highness's concubine."
The queen glanced at King Ke lightly and smiled at the emperor: "Your Majesty, Princess Wei's younger brother and concubine have also heard a little bit about the child's bad character and the marriage is a bit difficult. Being able to marry Mrs. Cui's sister shows that the two
People's horoscopes are extremely compatible. This is fate destined by God. Lao Qi and that girl can only be destined to each other."
The matter has been made clear. Emperor Xuanwu was not a foolish king who forced people to marry. He said to King Ke: "Since there is no chance of marriage, then find another lady from a famous family. Lao Qi, if there is a lady from a famous family that you like in the future, my father will give you a gift."
Marriage is."
In fact, deep down in his heart, he felt that Ye's daughter was not worthy of his precious son.
King Ke's attempt to fetch water from a bamboo basket was in vain. Although he was unwilling to do so, he could not linger in front of his father. He could only pretend to be open-minded and said: "Yes, I understand."
This incident just passed.
After coming out of Fengming Palace, Ye Zhenzhen almost lost her strength. She grabbed Cui Weizhen's hand firmly and said, "Fortunately, we acted quickly, otherwise we might not be able to pass this level today."
Cui Weizhen carefully supported her and comforted her in a gentle voice: "It's okay. Even if King Ke takes the lead, I can still find a way to disrupt the marriage. You don't have to worry."
Previously, it was Cui Weizhen who guessed that King Ke wanted to take Peng Peng as his concubine, so they rushed to get engaged. It turned out that he was never right. Ye Zhenzhen was so impressed that she couldn't believe it now even if he said that the earth is flat.
.
"I believe in you, you are the most powerful in the world."
Seeing her sincere words of praise, Cui Weizhen's eyes were filled with a soft smile. He thought she was so cute and couldn't help but rub her head and said with a smile: "Now you finally know what I am like?"
Why do you doubt me?"
Ye Zhenzhen blinked: "Is this happening? Why don't I remember? Oops, my memory is getting worse and worse since I became pregnant with the baby."
She knocked on her forehead in feigned annoyance, and at the same time peeked at Cui Weizhen's reaction with her peripheral vision, and happened to meet his half-smiling gaze. She immediately blushed and shamelessly pestered him: "Okay, okay, it's all
What happened in the past is past, just forget it all."
Cui Weizhen slapped her on the forehead and said, "I'll spare you this time."
The corners of Ye Zhenzhen's mouth turned up immediately. If it weren't for her heavy body, she would have jumped up and down. She didn't care that it was still the inner courtyard of the palace. She hugged Cui Weizhen's arm tightly and wanted to stick to him.
.
Cui Weizhen had no intention of avoiding suspicion at all. He turned back as if inadvertently and showed a faint smile.
King Ke, who had been following closely, had a gloomy expression on his face.
