Chapter 712, The two who are sick and pity each other
Feng Yu didn't stay at the Xuanping Hou Mansion for too long. After saying a few words to Yu Xijiao, he left with the others.
Yu Xijiao was silent for a while and went to find Yu Ruiwen.
"Father, there may be visitors coming over soon. No matter what you say, father should try not to agree to something that he cannot agree to." Yu Xijiao warned Yu Ruiwen about such a sentence first.
Now that Feng Yu is here, the palace will have to send someone over. Although I don't know who is coming, if he is here, he must have something to ask for from the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
Feng Yu just said that he might have to trouble his father to make a trip.
"Xi'er, what could it be?" Yu Ruiwen was surprised.
Yu Xijiao shook her head and said with a serious face: "Father, my daughter doesn't know now. You have to remember that you are usually a person who doesn't care about things, and you are not a person who can do things. Naturally, you can't agree to anything. Anyone who exceeds your
Ability, you must not be able to do it."
This matter should not be over yet, Feng Yu just said meaningfully that he would wait for his father to come over at the house...
Xuanpinghou Mansion was very lively today. After Feng Yu left, Yu Ruiwen actually received the Minister of Rites again.
The Minister of Rites had no contact with Yu Ruiwen in the past. They had different official positions. One was an important minister and the other was just a useless lord. Relying on the shadow of the old Marquis Xuanping and Princess Anhe, and the Minister of Rites who really relied on his own
The abilities obtained through scientific examination are completely different.
If I really count today, this is actually my first time visiting my home.
After Li Wen Fang Shangshu was welcomed in, he frowned and looked sad. He picked up the tea cup, skimmed off the foam and took a sip before putting it down.
"Marquis Xuanping, do you know that the Crown Prince of Qi is going back to the land of Qi?" Fang Shangshu asked.
"I know, Prince Qi came to the house just now... to talk to me about this matter." Yu Ruiwen nodded.
"What does Marquis Xuanping think?" Fang Shangshu asked.
"I...don't know what...to think." Yu Ruiwen looked confused, obviously not following what Fang Shangshu said.
"The Crown Prince of Zhongshan came to my house just now... and said a few words." Fang Shangshu said directly, "What does Marquis Xuanping think?"
"Everything... is decided by the emperor's holy will." Yu Ruiwen looked cautiously, obviously understanding the meaning of Fang Shangshu's words.
"Does Marquis Xuanping think there is any problem with this matter?" Fang Shangshu continued to ask. This matter weighed heavily on his heart, and he just wanted to find someone to talk to about his troubles.
On the day the emperor granted the marriage, his daughter fell ill. If Prince Zhongshan really passed away and never returned, what would his daughter do? What should she do?
The only person in the same situation as her was Xuanping Hou Yu Ruiwen.
Although he looked down on Yu Ruiwen in the past, he still couldn't help but come to ask Yu Ruiwen what he meant. After all, his biological mother was Princess An and Dachang, so he couldn't possibly get some information that he didn't know.
Or even if Yu Ruiwen didn't know, she could still taste something from his words.
"I...I don't know." Yu Ruiwen shook his head.
Fang Shangshu took a deep breath and asked again: "I heard that An and the eldest princess are still recuperating at the house. How is their health?"
"My mother's health is a little better," Yu Ruiwen said hurriedly.
"What do you say to Princess An and the eldest daughter?" Fang Shangyu asked tentatively.
"Mother...she...didn't say anything." Yu Ruiwen shook his head, "My mother is seriously ill. There are some things that I dare not say more about. I only revealed a little bit."
Yu Ruiwen said, meaning that An and the eldest princess didn't even know what happened recently, or even if they knew, they simply mentioned it in one word. Or maybe Yu Ruiwen made the matter so trivial that An and the eldest princess didn't take it to heart.
.
"Marquis Xuanping, this matter should be made clear to An and the eldest princess. It is related... to the life-long events of the two girls." Fang Shangshu said with a serious face.
"Do you want to tell your mother?" Yu Ruiwen was stunned.
Fang Shangshu nodded: "Of course I have to make it clear that whether it is my daughter or the daughter of Marquis Xuanping, the eldest princess must know all her life's affairs. I heard that the three girls in the house are very popular with the eldest princess. If the eldest princess is allowed to know,
The eldest princess knows that there may be more to this matter than just what is happening now. The eldest princess must have some ideas. If something really happens, Marquis Xuanping may have to be reprimanded by the eldest princess."
Fang Shangshu said.
Yu Ruiwen was disliked by his biological mother, and all the aristocratic families in the capital knew about this.
As for the third girl in front of me, I heard that she was very popular with Princess An and the eldest princess, because she, Princess An and the eldest princess even lived in the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
You must know that for so many years, only Yu Ruiwen has ever come to the mansion of An and the eldest princess to listen to training. Princess An and the eldest princess rarely come to the Xuanping Marquis' mansion, let alone still live here.
Although she was frightened and sick because of the assassination, Princess An and the eldest daughter slowly let go of their feelings towards their son and were willing to accept him as his son.
I heard that this incident cannot be blamed on An and the eldest princess, it is mainly because the current Mrs. Hou Qian is causing trouble inside, causing discord between mother and son.
But no matter what, this Miss Yu is still very important.
"Is it so... serious?" Yu Ruiwen was still hesitating.
"Haven't Marquis Xuan Ping ever thought... that he would never come back?" Seeing how slow he was, Fang Shangshu frowned more and more, and reminded him in a slightly lowered voice.
No name was mentioned.
Yu Ruiwen was shocked, but he really understood, and his voice lowered unconsciously: "No... as for that?"
Seeing that he didn't know anything, Fang Shangshu almost became angry. Look at how lucky these so-called nobles are. They are completely relying on the shadow of their ancestors. How much more powerful they are based on their true strength.
What he said was extremely naive.
It’s been a while now, but I still don’t think it’s enough.
"If the Crown Prince of Qi...is really like this, what will happen to Marquis Xuanping?" Fang Shangshu asked happily.
"I should present the book to the emperor so that the emperor can punish Prince Qi for deceiving the emperor." Yu Ruiwen felt that he should understand what this meant, and said righteously with a puffed-up chest.
Fang Shangshu was very angry at his ignorance and spread his hands: "So, the emperor still wants to capture the prince of Qi?"
"Isn't it possible?" Yu Ruiwen also felt that something was wrong, and laughed twice, "Yes, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor, which is equivalent to treason, and my daughter cannot remarry."
Fang Shangshu felt that it was a mistake to come here, and there really was nothing to discuss with Marquis Xuanping.
But it wasn’t Yu Ruiwen, and he couldn’t find anyone.
After calming down, he asked: "If it really comes to this point, what will happen to the three girls in the house?"
"Of course we have to break off the engagement." Yu Ruiwen did not hesitate this time.
"What if we can't bring the Crown Prince of Qi back for the time being?" Fang Shangshu asked.
Yu Ruiwen was stunned and didn't understand.
Fang Shangshu picked up the tea cup, took another sip, and then put it down heavily: "Even for such a serious crime, we have to get the person back. If we can't get it back, the marriage is not allowed to be withdrawn. Marquis Xuanping
Do you want to worry about your daughter for the rest of your life?"
If it really comes to that step, it will be a war. At that time, the emperor will definitely demand that the marriage cannot be broken off, and may even use the daughters of the two families as pawns. Who will care about the daughter's happiness.
Not to mention canceling the marriage and changing the marriage.
It's that time, everything is decided by the emperor, and the marriage will not be cancelled.
Fang Shangshu obviously couldn't explain it too clearly, he could only hint.
"Then...then I..." Yu Ruiwen obviously realized something this time, and stood up suddenly, "No, I will enter the palace now."
"Wait a minute, where is Marquis Xuanping going?" Seeing him like this, Fang Shangshu became anxious and said sharply.
He had just arrived at Xuanpinghou's Mansion, but Xuanpinghou went to the palace to make trouble and let the emperor know about it. He was still not sure how to punish himself. Fang Shangshu really regretted making such a trip now.
"I will go to the palace to ask the emperor to cancel the engagement." Yu Ruiwen stopped anxiously.
"What's the point of you going? How could you cancel the engagement at this time, not to mention the marriage?" Fang Shangshu glared at him angrily.
"Then...what should we do now?" Yu Ruiwen spread his hands in annoyance.
It was really useless. Marquis Xuanping, Fang Shangshu calmed down and told himself not to argue with Yu Ruiwen. This was useless. He came up with an idea: "Why doesn't Marquis Xuanping persuade the prince of Qi?"
"Go and persuade Prince Qi not to go back to Prince Qi?" Yu Ruiwen's eyes were filled with joy.
Fang Shangshu didn't know what he was thinking about, and didn't want to try to figure out what he meant. He simply said frankly: "I'm not trying to persuade the Prince of Qi not to go back. I'm trying to persuade the Prince of Qi to come back early. As long as the Prince of Qi comes back early, what else can I do?"
Everything is negotiable.”
"Can we all discuss it?" Yu Ruiwen obviously didn't understand.
Fang Shangshu took another deep breath and suppressed the annoyance in his heart: "That is to say, as long as Prince Qi can come back early and is sure to come back, some benefits can be promised."
"There is nothing good... in my house that I can give to Prince Qi, and Prince Qi may not like it." Yu Ruiwen looked confused.
"Not just objects, but also other things. We can even promise him to marry two concubines and two concubines when he comes back." Fang Shangshu's voice was a little louder, and he couldn't control his temper. "I heard that King Qi before
The prince promised not to marry, but how could they, royal children like them, really marry without second chance? It was just an excuse at the time to convince Princess An and the eldest daughter, and it is still impossible to step down now. If Marquis Xuanping does something now
If everyone agrees, he will definitely be happy."
Fang Shangshu coaxed.
"This...can't do it!" Yu Ruiwen sat down heavily and waved his hand without any discussion, "My mother agreed to this. If I said so, my mother would beat me to death."
"But the current situation is special..." Fang Shangshu advised.
"No matter how special I am, I can't help it... If my daughter is not dead by then, I will be beaten to death by my mother first." Yu Ruiwen looked terrified.
After that, no matter how much Fang Shangshu tried to persuade him, he just didn’t agree and had only one sentence: “No!”
Not even death.
In the end, Fang Shangshu had no choice but to follow the emperor's previous instructions and ask Yu Ruiwen to go to Prince Qi's Mansion to offer some other benefits to Prince Qi, and then ask him what he needed, and try to satisfy him as much as possible.
