The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 145
Hearing his father talking about choosing a concubine, Xie Yao glanced at each of his two younger brothers. Xie Hui kept his head down with a submissive expression, while Xie Xi held his head up with a smile on his face.

"Fortunately, Marquis Weiyuan brought it up yesterday, so I just remembered that there is such a thing. Although there are regulations on the ancestor's side, I watched you grow up, and I also hope that your lovers will eventually get married. The Ministry of Rites It's just a formality over there, if you have someone you like, you might as well talk to the queen, we will try our best to fulfill it if we can."

The emperor deliberately used the word "I" to express his closeness, implying that he was talking about family affairs and had nothing to do with state affairs.

Seeing that none of the sons responded, the emperor smiled and said to the queen: "I just said, it's not appropriate for me, a father, to come forward about the sons and daughters. I frighten them when I speak. It's better for you, the mother, to come forward. They dare to speak."

"Since they are embarrassed to speak about this kind of thing, why don't we, the elders, speak first."

The queen smiled and asked: "Yao'er, Marquis Weiyuan talked about your marriage yesterday, what do you think of Miss Fang?"

Xie Yao was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the marriage between himself and Fang Qingge had been mentioned for a long time, and there was no definite statement for a long time, so Marquis Weiyuan was a little anxious.

Two days ago, Marquis Weiyuan approached the Queen with a memorial signed by fifteen commanders of the capital, and asked to make himself the heir apparent.

This support is more convincing than any superficial words.

Although Fang Qingge didn't know what to say, but so far, the help she brought to him was extraordinary.

Thinking of his mother and concubine giving him advice, and thinking of the difficulties he still has to overcome now, Xie Yao bowed and said: "But the father and the mother are the masters."

When Xie Yao said this, it was a natural consent.

The emperor smiled and said: "Okay, then the second girl Fang is settled. Let your mother ask her what she thinks later. If there is no problem, I will give you a marriage decree first, and the names will be determined as soon as possible. "

The queen then asked about Xie Hui, but Xie Hui smiled and said, "My son is not as lucky as my second elder brother. There is a second girl named Fang who is determined, my son, just wait for Mr. Qian from the Ministry of Rites to be my son." Yuelao, my son is just waiting for the marriage with peace of mind."

"You child, you have been shy since you were a child. At this time, are you still unwilling to tell me the truth?"

The emperor smiled and asked, "Hui'er, who is that Miss Qin?"

Xie Hui turned pale with shock, his relationship with Qin Yajun was very secret, where did the emperor hear about it?

He immediately thought that the spies of Dongchang and Jinyiwei spread all over the world, and that the eunuch Cao Shouli must have purposely told his father the news in order to please his father.

But this time, Xie Hui guessed wrong.

Cao Shouli was busy with Luo Xiu's affairs these few days, so he had no time to take care of such trivial matters.

The emperor said to Xie Hui with a smile: "I heard that you are very close to that girl surnamed Qin, and you have had more than one private meeting. What's the matter? Dislike this girl's business background? Don't want to give her a name?"

The queen didn't know who this Miss Qin was, and following the emperor's words, she said earnestly: "Hui'er, when we choose concubines at Dayan, we don't always pay attention to family background. Empress Mo came from a small family during the Taizu's time, and assisted the Taizu to win the world; Ruizong Empress Tan at that time was just the daughter of Zhihu, who would eventually become a generation of virtuous empresses. If you want me to say, this background is not that important, as long as you have both ability and virtue, and it suits your eyes, it is excellent. "

Xie Hui frowned when he heard the words of the emperor and the empress. Qin Yajun originally prepared it for Xie Yao, and wanted her to have a relationship with Xie Yao.

The emperor had been ill for several days, and there was no suitable opportunity for Xie Yao to see Qin Yajun's literary talent.

These days, the only two times Xie Hui and Qin Yajun met was to think about how to use Qin Yajun's chess piece.

As long as Xie Yao and Fang Qingge can be divorced, Marquis Weiyuan will have a suspicion in his heart, which is tantamount to breaking Xie Yao's left arm and right arm.

Xie Hui has always done such important matters by himself, and never dared to pretend to be others.

He doesn't believe anyone can do better than himself.

But what he didn't expect was that Qin Yajun had something to do with himself before he got to know Xie Yao.

Xie Hui said hastily: "Father and Empress misunderstood this minister, and this minister just saw that Miss Qin has a lot of literary talents and felt close to her, so he asked her to talk about poetry and painting, and had no other intentions."

Lonely men and widows living together in a room in broad daylight just to talk about poetry and painting?
Even Xie Hui himself didn't believe this, and the emperor and empress naturally didn't believe it either.

The emperor knew it well, looked at Xie Hui with a half-smile and said: "Since you know poetry, it would be great. Find a time and bring this Qin girl to the palace. I want to have a good look at it with your mother." , if she is truly talented, then she cannot be buried."

Xie Hui didn't want to make any more troubles, so he agreed to the emperor's request again and again.

He took a peek at Xie Yao, and found that his second brother was a little out of his mind, obviously not paying too much attention to his own affairs, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Sier, your second and third elder brothers are all settled, and you have already sealed the king and opened the mansion, what do you say about the candidate for your princess?"

Xie Xi salivated and said with a smile: "Father, don't you and the queen mother know the heart of my son? It's not been a day or two since my son has been tempted. I beg my father to forgive me, and I will make my son happy!"

The emperor said with a stern face: "I am not worried about your second brother or third brother, but I am worried about you. I am worried that you will be sorry for other girls. You are famous. You say you are not married yet. I have raised so many flowers and plants. If I agree to you, what will the girl do if she doesn't want to?"

Xie Xi still had a wicked smile on his face, the emperor secretly felt a headache, and said angrily: "If you want me to be fulfilled, you have to let that girl let go first, otherwise, you'd better wait for Qian Minzhong the red line!"

Xie Xi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, the emperor said with a smile: "You are finally willing to give me a salute. I can't afford such a great gift."

The emperor chatted with his sons for a few words, and did not give any other orders. It seemed that he had finished what he wanted to say.

Xie Yao knew that he couldn't wait any longer, taking advantage of the emperor's joy, he bowed and said, "Father, my son has something important to say."

Xie Yao said this in a tone of business.The emperor looked at Xie Yao in surprise, and asked, "Yao'er, what do you want to say?"

Xie Yao hadn't answered yet, but Xie Xi rushed to say: "Father, Queen Mother, I still have important matters to attend to, so I'll leave now and not disturb my second elder brother's business. The girl is still waiting for my son to ask me." .”

Xie Hui also came to his senses, he could guess nine out of ten what Xie Yao was going to say, there was no need to stay here to break the emperor's taboo, and then said: "My son will resign."

The emperor was very satisfied to see the two sons so discerning, but he had some opinions on the reason Xie Xi asked, and he smiled and scolded Xie Xi: "You bastard, I have something to say first. If you offend that girl, I will But I can't spare you!"
