In Zhunxu Pavilion, Xia Jingsheng frowned and stared at the letter in his hand, wondering what he was thinking. Xia Jingyan opened the door and came in, and he put the letter down.
"Yan'er, it's so late, why don't you rest?" Xia Jing and others immediately changed their expressions, and waved their hands to Xia Jingyan with a smile.
"Yan'er has prepared the expenses for the wedding banquet and brought them to Brother Wang to see if there is anything missing. Yan'er can make preparations early." Xia Jingyan walked over and sat next to Xia Jingsheng with a smile.
Xia Jingsheng took the list and looked at it. Xia Jingyan leaned against Xia Jingsheng and accidentally glanced at the letter Xia Jingsheng put on the table. Like Xia Jingsheng, she frowned.
"We, Yan'er, are very attentive. Yan'er has thought of everything that Brother Wang couldn't think of." Xia Jingsheng handed the order back to Xia Jingyan, tilted his head, and saw Xia Jingyan staring at the letter in a daze.
"That was sent by the emperor's uncle. He said he would not come to the wedding banquet. He just gave some rare treasures as a courtesy. Yan'er, if you like it, take it." Xia Jingsheng patted Xia Jingyan's shoulder to express comfort.
Who else could Xia Jingsheng's imperial uncle be? The king of Su in the northwest border, He Suzhi, was the former Xia king's fellow disciple and sworn brother. He was also the only person in the world who could still suppress the Xia family.
"Uncle Huang doesn't agree that Sister Yan Yu is right, what does Brother Wang think?" Xia Jingyan asked.
It was also a matter of etiquette. Seeing that Yan Yu was a concubine of a county magistrate, King Jin cursed, saying that Xia Jingsheng was deceived by lard. How could he marry a woman from a wrong family as his princess? He also heard that Yan Yu was a concubine of a county official.
The jade was extremely beautiful, so they said Xia Jingsheng was attracted by her beauty.
I wrote a piece of paper, and most of it was about scolding Xia Jingsheng. He spoke bluntly and without euphemism, and pointed out no less than ten times: marry a wife who is virtuous, and marry a concubine who is a woman.
A word of blessing? Not a single word.
Xia Jingsheng smiled helplessly and said, "What do Yan'er think?"
"If Yan'er were the king's brother, he would not listen to the emperor's uncle."
"Why?"
"The emperor's uncle's own life is unclear, so how can he teach us well? He is married to Princess Xianyang, and they are well matched, but the emperor's aunt is cold and does not match the emperor's temperament.
It has been more than ten years, and the emperor's aunt has only had one son."
"Alas," Xia Jingsheng pinched Xia Jingyan's face, "You little girl, you are young and know a lot. How do you know that the emperor's uncle and the emperor's aunt are not happy?"
"The emperor's uncle and the emperor's aunt didn't know each other before they got married. They met for the first time on the wedding day! If they don't truly love each other and forcefully tie them together for the rest of their lives, how can they be happy?"
"You still don't know." Xia Jingsheng looked at the dancing candlelight, "What the emperor taught me was that it was Brother Wang who was making a fool of himself."
"It's just a matter of marrying a wife, how can it be nonsense!" Xia Jingyan's eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
"Because Brother Wang forgot something.
"What's up?"
"Brother Wang, even marriage is a state matter."
Xia Jingyan fell silent.
Yes, how could she forget that her brother-in-law is the regent of Dongjiang, and marriage is a state matter.
"Yes, the emperor's uncle and the emperor's aunt are not necessarily unhappy." Xia Jingyan muttered and looked away.
It seems that Xia Jingsheng has made up his mind. Yan Yu will never become a princess. No wonder Xia Jingsheng didn't even go to see Yan Yu off when she returned home today.
"Then what does Brother Wang plan to do? Sister Yan Yu has lost her reputation, so Brother Wang must give her a reputation, right?"
"Brother Wang... I plan to keep the wedding banquet as usual. The betrothal gift will not be reduced, but will be increased to a ten-mile long street. The etiquette will be the same as that of a principal concubine. It's just... I can't worship in the heaven and earth. Yan Yu can only be sidelined."
Xia Jingyan turned around and leaned in Xia Jingsheng's arms, holding his hand.
"The position of the princess will eventually be vacant to strengthen the minister's heart. However, Brother Wang still wronged Yan Yu. Yan'er, on that day, you should make amends for Brother Wang on her behalf. Just tell her to be patient for the time being. One day
, I will write three books and six etiquettes, lift the bridge eight times, and marry her again."
"Okay, Brother Wang's business is Yan'er's business." Xia Jingyan agreed anyway.
Although helpless, there is nothing that can be done, and that is what the royal family is like.
"By the way, Yan'er, Ranzhuo said that he's busy these days and won't be able to see you until a few days later, so I want you to miss me." Xia Jingsheng said suddenly.
To be honest, hearing these words made Xia Jingyan's back feel cold.
Zhou Ranzhuo is so brave! He even got in front of Xia Jingsheng!
In fact, when Xia Jingsheng heard this this afternoon, he really wanted to strangle Zhou Ranzhuo to death.
Zhou Ranzhuo's original words were: "Your Majesty, I have just taken over, and there are many things going on in the house. Although it is a temporary farewell, I really miss the princess. These days, the princess must also miss me like a year. It's just a matter of state."
More than the love between children, I still want to serve Dongjiang. I hope that the prince will tell the princess. I am really anxious to see her. In a day or two, I have settled down and will go back to the palace to visit the princess. Please remember her.
.”
"What are you missing? What are you missing? Why are you living like a year? Zhou Ranzhuo, you are so brave! You danced in front of me!"
Xia Jingsheng's heart was roaring, but on the outside he still pretended to be calm and smiled. Why? Because there was someone next to him! Zhou Ranzhuo's affectionate look moved a group of people to tears and supported love.
Although I don't want to admit it, it is also a fact. In the market, the stories of Zhou Ranzhuo and Xia Jingyan were written down in storybooks and staged as plays. They also won the love of many people. They were repeatedly banned, and finally had to let the sheep go and let them go.
Already.
"Ran... Mr. Zhou has been working so hard, why do you still care about Yan'er? It's Yan'er who should go and see him..." Xia Jingyan spoke softer and quieter. This is wrong no matter how you say it!
Zhou Ranzhuo really dug a hole for a bunch of people to jump in, and then he was happy on the ground alone.
"That's all, Yan'er, it's late at night. You should rest early. Brother Wang is also tired."
"yes……"
Fortunately, Xia Jingsheng let the two of them go. Xia Jingyan left quickly. After leaving the door, his little heart was still pounding in his throat. It took him a while to calm down.
