What is this? It refers to an artificial marriage. The marriage to Princess Xijia was completely unknown to him. It was purely arranged by the wise king. Meng Xinghe didn't have time to react. He had already heard that he had personally agreed to it. This was not forced. Is it a forced sale?
"Wei Ming, please take Mr. Meng down. I have to discuss business matters with a few adults." Before Meng Xinghe could argue, the Xianwang said in an old tone: "From now on, this Xianwang Mansion will be Mr. Meng's home. My daughter Xijia. I will also look forward to waiting here. If Mr. Meng doesn’t dislike it, he will live here from now on."
Hearing King Xian keep calling him Mr., a young man who was less than twenty years old. The three distinguished adults standing in the distance also looked at him curiously and thought together. I don't know what kind of supernatural power this man has. Let the wise king betroth Princess Xijia to him. But a person who can enter the wise king's eyes and be so respected must be a capable person.
Meng Xinghe was not happy at all. What kind of medicine the wise king sold in the gourd was still a mystery. He would not be as generous as when he gave me the gold pen at the end of Mengjia Village. He would sincerely betroth the princess to me.
Not daring to think about it anymore, Meng Xinghe blocked Wei Ming's hand and said in front of the wise king, neither humble nor overbearing: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's just that the student's family is poor and the house is poor. Marrying a princess will make her suffer for half her life. It will be even more embarrassing." It ruins the prince’s good intentions. I see it’s getting late, so I’ll say goodbye. I’ll go to the prince’s mansion to express my gratitude in person another day.”
"You... are so presumptuous..." The wise king was furious and punched the table and said: "As soon as I opened my mouth, if you continue to push back, are you deliberately despising me and Xijia marrying you? Is it possible that I have wronged you? ?”
Meng Xinghe suddenly stopped and turned his back to the King Xian: "Princess Xijia is noble and beautiful, and the student is just a humble man. Although the prince has promised, the student has been engaged for a long time. If he agrees to marry Princess Xijia easily, he has not married. His wife is unfaithful and unjust to Princess Xijia. Even if the prince wants to kill the student today, he cannot agree to this marriage."
Meng Xinghe said calmly. He didn't know how many times he scolded him in his heart. He knew the laws of the Tang Dynasty very well. No matter whether he married a princess or a princess, he would never take another concubine in his life. Therefore, being a concubine in the Tang Dynasty was a very painful thing. There are three flowers waiting to be watered at home. Only a ghost would be willing to agree to abandon the entire forest for Princess Xijia.
He had a wishful thinking in his heart, but he said that he was quite honest. When it comes to acting skills, Meng Xinghe dares to be second, but no one dares to be first.
"You really don't want to marry Xi Jia." The wise king asked solemnly: "If you don't marry me, I will chop off your head today."
"No..." Meng Xinghe said firmly: "But if the prince wants to kill the student, there must be a reason. The prince promised to marry Princess Xijia in advance. It is not that the student knew about it first and then refused. It is reasonable and reasonable. The student is not at fault in the slightest. If the prince has to defend his dignity, it doesn’t matter if Meng Xinghe dies. But if he wants to silence everyone in the world, it will be very difficult.”
"How dare you threaten me?" Hearing Meng Xinghe's reply, the wise king actually laughed.
"Students don't dare." Meng Xinghe said, "The prince is such a shrewd person. He must think more than the students. Rather than saying that the students are threatening the prince, it is better to think that the prince is testing the students."
"What a sharp mouth." The wise king laughed loudly: "In that case, you should go back first. If I really kill you, I am afraid that it is like you said. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
After getting the pass, Meng Xinghe didn't stop. This was the first time he had to talk in front of a powerful prince. A lot of cold sweat broke out on his back. He hurried out of Prince Xian's Mansion without waiting for the servants of Prince Xian's Mansion to see him off. He quickly Run towards the Imperial College.
The peach garden returned to its usual quiet state. The wise king lay quietly on the big tiger-skin chair. He raised his head and said quietly: "All dear relatives, please get up. Outside the palace, there is no need to observe these red tapes."
"Thank you. Long live my emperor." The Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the Minister Du Ruhui. After listening to the words of the wise king, the four of them slowly stood up from the ground. They were already divided into two rows. Listening to what is happening in front of them. The emperor's instructions.
"Interesting. It's really interesting. I haven't been this happy for a long time. I didn't expect that before I ascended the throne, the Prince Xian's Mansion had been idle for many years. I wanted to use it to put on a good show today. I didn't expect that I still couldn't scare the scholar. Although he has great talent . But it is difficult to surrender. What clever tricks do you have, my dear friends?" The wise king sitting on the big tiger-skin chair is the current emperor. He is also the emperor Taizong who created the current prosperous age of Zhenguan. Thinking of that scholar, he is still the emperor. The unruly attitude seen in Mengjia Village has not changed at all. Li Shimin sighed twice more. Princess Xijia, who had left earlier, had already turned back and came to Li Shimin. She said coquettishly: "Uncle Emperor. Sister Xiao Sizi is back. Chang'an is here."
"Mingda is back." Li Shimin was rarely happy. He quickly stood up and looked behind him. On the way to Taoyuan, he saw a quiet woman in white, stepping on the peach blossoms on the ground. Her steps were weak and her face was soft. She seemed relaxed and tired. Quite a few.
"My little Sizi..." Li Shimin came to the little Sizi with great affection like a new father. His face was full of the emperor's air, and he only said tenderly: "Mingda, tell your father. .You left Chang'an without saying a word. Where did you go?"
In front of Li Shimin, Xiao Sizi was not as quiet as she was. She said angrily: "I'm going out to find my mother."
"Nonsense." Li Shimin scolded him without blaming him: "Father knows that you are still angry with him. But you are weak and can't travel around. You don't know. In the past few months since you left Chang'an, my father has been angry every day. I can't even sleep or eat well. I'm afraid something will happen to you."
Little Sizi also ignored his father. He came to several adults and said respectfully: "Uncle, Uncle Du, Uncle Hou, Uncle Fang. Little Sizi wants to say hello to you."
"I can't do it, I can't do it. The princess is shortening the lifespan of the officials and others." Although the adults are several rounds older than the little Sizi, they didn't see that even the emperor had a nose full of ashes. What if I and others were like this? After receiving the greetings from Xiao Sizi, it is not enough to deceive the Lord. These adults have been in the court for decades. Which one of them is not a human being?
"Cousin Xijia...you are here too." Seeing the woman in green standing on the edge of the square water platform, Xiao Sizi ran over happily. He took her hand and said, "Let's go play in the plum garden next to it. I Let me tell you, the outside world is very interesting. I will take you out to see it another day. Aunt Xiuning will not scold you while I am here."
"Okay. Okay. I also want to go outside and have a look." Xijia said with a smile. The two women were close, holding hands, and walked to the side.
These two people, the white-haired old men in the garden, all felt helpless. One was Emperor Taizong's favorite little daughter. She had been regarded as the apple of his eye since she was a child. The other was the daughter of Emperor Taizong's sister, Princess Xiuning. The daughter of the Chai family with a fortune of hundreds of millions. When the two of them are together, they are like the whole of the Tang Dynasty. It is no wonder that when Li Shimin said that he would betroth Princess Xijia to Meng Xinghe, someone in the room had a bad look. Just because of the two daughters' net worth. Background. Which young man wouldn’t break his head trying to marry one of them?
Meng Xinghe stumbled back to the Imperial College. He let out a long sigh. It was a shock. To say that he was not afraid at all before would be a lie. In this era where royal power is the law, he might lose his head one day. It seems that I should hurry up. After the scientific examination, let's go back to Jiangdu. After all, this capital city is not a place to stay for a long time. Maybe your life will be lost here at any time.
I was thinking about things mentally. I didn’t look at the road ahead. I walked not far, and there was a close contact. I felt like I had hit a fleshy wall of people.
Meng Xinghe looked up. Damn, why is it that shrew? He was so anxious that he took a few steps back and said with a smile: "Girl, you are blocking my way."
The person who was bumped into by Meng Xinghe was the first female doctor in the Tang Dynasty. However, it was a bit strange today. Even if Meng Xinghe shouted to catch the thief, the master ignored him and continued to walk his own way. As he walked, he said to himself: " What should I do to prevent the water in the cup from flowing out when it is turned upside down?"
Not to mention, when the master was thinking about the problem, there was quite a bit of the beauty of a talented woman in it. Meng Xinghe's hearing was very sensitive. Even if she spoke very quietly, he could still hear her. He reluctantly said to her, "Find a piece of paper. Cover the mouth of the cup. Even if the cup is turned upside down, the water inside will not flow out."
"How do you know?" Hearing the voice, the master woke up from his meditation. When he saw that it was the scoundrel Meng Xinghe, the master rolled his eyes and said, "I want you to talk more."
The master scolded Meng Xinghe, which seemed to arouse inspiration in his heart. He smiled happily and said: "That's right. I thought of it. Haha. I thought of it."
Ignoring Meng Xinghe's exaggerated expression, the Master hurriedly turned around and ran into the Imperial Academy. He shouted, "Elizabeth, I thought of the question you just raised."
With one word, the Master immediately called out the four foreign students living in the Imperial College. Elizabeth, who was walking in front with big breasts and round hips, said curiously: "Master, have you really thought about it?"
The Master nodded vigorously and asked Jin Shuiling to bring a basin of water over. He said, "I thought of it. This way you can accomplish what you said. Even if the cup is placed upside down, the water inside will not flow out." The Master is very confident. She spoke confidently while demonstrating. She first filled the cup with a full cup of water, and then quickly put it into a copper basin filled with water.
The cup was turned upside down. The water inside did not flow out. However, Elizabeth's eyes widened: "Oh, buy it."
A mouthful of blood spurted out. Meng Xinghe, who secretly followed to watch, was really indescribable. Damn, your experiment was so unprofessional. It was simply a trick and an insult to science.
