Yutai Bi

Chapter 157
Cen Sanniang left the palace in a daze, seeing Hei Qi and A Qiu Xiachu waiting outside Danfeng's gate, she felt very distressed, and didn't know how to face Yan Wan and her grandmother when they returned to the mansion.

When she turned her head, the tall palace gate stood tall, and the majesty of the imperial power pressed down like a mountain, making her feel breathless.

Cen Sanniang suddenly squatted down, hugging her arms and crying.

At this time, the court had not yet ended, many ministers and servants were waiting outside the palace gate, all of them were surprised to see Cen Sanniang, who was full of jewels and emeralds, squatting on the ground and crying like a child.They were whispering about which wife this is, and what happened in the palace.

Ah Qiuxia was startled, lifted her skirt and ran over: "Young madam, young madam..."

Their voices were full of fear and tension.Cen Sanniang raised her head, sniffed, and stretched out her hands to support the two of them to stand up: "It's all right. Let's go back."

The second maid helped her to walk over.Hei Qi glanced at Cen Sanniang, got on his horse and said, "We'll talk about it when we go back. What's the outside of the palace gate?"

Xia Chu was very angry: "Of course something happened in the palace, the young lady is like this, can you speak?"

"Get in the carriage." Cen Sanniang lowered her head and got into the carriage.

The second maid gave Hei Qi a hard look, and followed her in.

Hei Qi coldly said to Ah Fu's father who was driving the car: "Go straight back to the residence. I'll go to the North Palace Gate and wait for Young Master Sun." Then he turned his horse's head and galloped away.

Things in the queen's palace spread like wings.

When Du Yansui heard that the servant said that the queen had summoned her, she smiled and went.

The queen sat on the phoenix seat and looked at him carefully.

With a smile on his face, Du Yansui listened to the empress's decree to bestow the marriage, and gave a half-respect: "Thank you for your kindness, I am sorry that I am in armor, so I can't give a full ceremony. The whole family of the Du family is very grateful to be able to get the marriage from the empress." do."

"General, please get up." The queen raised her hand to help, secretly surprised in her heart, could it be that her brother wanted to make a mistake?
The Du family did not have a title. Although Du Yansui was a general of the third rank, in terms of real power, he was not even comparable to a rank-five official in the court.Among the generals, he is even worse than a school lieutenant in Zhechong Mansion who can't lead troops.It's just to guard the emperor closely in the palace, trying to get a cheap ride with him.

If you really count it carefully, the Cui family of the Founding Hou is one of the direct branches of the Cui family of Qinghe, and it is also a descendant family.Getting a marriage gift gave the Du family enough face.Cui Mengdong is the eldest son that the elders of the Cui clan hoped for, and he will take over as the head of the Cui clan in the future.For a girl from the run-down Duke's Mansion to be Cui's clan's daughter-in-law, this marriage took all the face of the Du family.

But the queen felt weird.Cen Sanniang was clearly unwilling, and the founding marquis also said that the Du family was not happy.Why is Du Yansui grateful and happy?

It turned out that Enwei beat Du Yansui together to make him obediently obey him and help him deal with Wu Zhaoyi.Du Yansui's performance made the queen's plan come to nothing.

She smiled and continued to test: "The general only has such a direct sister. My nephew grew up with me. It's not that I am boasting. In terms of appearance, Yuguan is also considered one of the best in a hundred. He is a scholar and has won Mingjing Try the first one. There is a lord in the body. The two families have a marriage contract again, so I will be the master. I am afraid that General Du will look down on my nephew and feel that your sister has been wronged."

Yi's decree has already been issued, what's the use of looking down on him now?Du Yansui shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, you are serious. My sister told the Lord of the Founding of the country that I, the Du family, have been favored by me. There was a verbal marriage contract between the two families, but there was no exchange of invitations and no formal ceremony. The Du family was right There is no hope for this marriage. If the Cui family does not come to discuss marriage, the Du family has nothing to say. I never thought that the Cui family would keep their promises, and the empress bestowed a marriage on the Du family with a great gift. I am moved!"

Mrs. Li has been to Du's house, but she did not mention her marriage to Du's house.It is only said that the Du family deliberately pretended to be poor.Could it be that the Du family deliberately pretended to be poorer in order to test the sincerity of the Cui family?The queen found a suitable reason for Mrs. Jianguo to go to Du's house.He smiled and said: "Although the two families only made a marriage agreement verbally, the Cui family will never break their promise. General Du can prepare for the marriage with peace of mind."

A look of distress appeared on Du Yansui's face.

The queen wanted to win him over, and said softly: "If you have any difficulties with General Du, you may as well just tell me."

As soon as Du Yansui held his breath, his face turned dark purple, and he said in shame, "I'll tell you the truth, my sister's dowry is not ready yet, if she wants to get married in the near future, I'm afraid it will be disrespectful."

The queen laughed: "General, you don't need to worry too much. The founding marquis is my elder brother, and I will ask him to handle it properly. The second girl can rest assured and wait for her marriage."

Cui Mengdong and the queen look alike, but also competitive.The queen liked this nephew very much.Du Yanwan's thin dowry also hurt the Cui family's dignity.Wouldn't it be more money?As long as they can win over Du Yansui, the Cui family will not be stingy.

Du Yansui was overjoyed and bowed her head deeply: "I only have one direct sister, and it is all thanks to the grace of my empress to get married. If my empress asks you in the future, I will not hesitate to do so!"

The queen was moved suddenly, she stretched out her hands, and stood up from the phoenix seat: "Since you and I are married, the affairs of the Du family are the affairs of this Palace. It is not impossible to regain the title in the future... thing."

Du Yansui looked at the queen in astonishment.

The queen stood proudly, beautiful and noble.

In the main hall, there are only a few confidants of the queen and the servants.Don't be afraid to spread the word.

Du Yansui took a deep breath, untied the saber at his waist, knelt down on both knees, and made a big recognition ceremony to the queen.

The queen stepped down from the phoenix seat, helped him up with her own hands, and told her confidants and servants: "An Zi, send General Du off."

The servant named An Zi was all smiles, accompanied Du Yansui out of the main hall, and said with a low laugh: "In the future, the palace will rely on the general!"

"You serve by the master's side, and Du relies more on his father-in-law." Du Yansui said meaningfully.

An Zi smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Our family will send the general here, so the general can leave."

"You're being polite." Du Yansui laughed and said goodbye.

After returning to the Forbidden Army camp, Du Yansui saw Hei Qi who was waiting anxiously, and told him quietly: "Go home and tell grandma and young lady that the house is busy preparing for the wedding. The more lively the better. Looking at Yan Wan, Don't let her do stupid things. Seal mother's yard and don't let her know."

Hei Qi lowered her eyes and said softly: "...Young Madam cried at the palace gate."

Du Yansui was silent for a while and said: "Understood, let's do it. I will explain to her when I return home in the evening."

After Hei Qi left, Du Yansui looked up at the sky.The early summer sun was hanging overhead, and it was still early before going down the mountain.He packed up his emotions and entered the barracks.He smiled and exchanged greetings with the imperial guards who came to congratulate him.

The Du's stable was in a mess.

Du Yanwan was riding on the horse, and Du Xifu held on tightly to the rein.Her shoulders were blown away, and she insisted stubbornly: "Second Miss, even if you beat me to death, I won't let you go!"

"Let go!" Du Yanwan was very angry, raised her hand and whipped it down again.

A whip mark appeared on the back of Du Xifu's hand.

"Yan Wan, what are you doing!" Cen Sanniang yelled.

"Sister-in-law, don't stop me! I'm going to smash the Jianguohou Mansion right now! If it belongs to the Du family, follow me!" Du Yanwan yelled.

Led by Du Zhien, the guards were all over the place, raising their knives and leading their horses.

Du Xifu yelled at him: "Second brother, why are you coaxing? Tell the guards to disperse!"

Du Zhien got on his horse, drew his knife out of its sheath and shouted, "Brother, you have no guts, but I can't disgrace the Duke's Mansion. Let's protect the second girl!"

Du Xifu was so anxious that his vest was drenched with sweat: "The old lady fainted with anger, are you trying to piss her off to death?"

"After we smashed the Jianguohou's mansion, we will come back and apologize to grandma! Du Xifu, get out of the way!" Du Yanwan's eyes were on fire, she drew her sword, and swung the sword to cut off the rein that Du Xifu was holding tightly.He galloped out of the horse.

The guards followed one after another, and Du Xifu slapped his thigh in a hurry: "I can't go! Second girl!"

A group of people rushed out from the side door.Just bumped into Cen Sanniang's carriage.

A Fu's father was driving the carriage into the yard, and happened to block Du Yanwan and his party.

"Get out of the way!" Du Yanwan shouted sharply, but the speed of the horse did not slow down.

Afu's father hurriedly led the horse and wanted to drive the car aside, but he ran into each other in an instant wherever he could avoid it.

Du Yanwan's horse looked handsome, it made a whining sound, its front hooves were raised high, and it stood upright.When it fell, it kicked into the carriage and kicked the carriage over.

Fortunately, Ah Fu's father reacted quickly, rolled on the ground, barely avoiding it.

Du Yanwan was good at equestrianism, she held half of the rein and steered the horse left and right, and it took a while before she stopped.

The guards behind him broke out in a cold sweat.

Just before going out, he came out like this, just to give Cen Sanniang and Du Xifu time.The two rushed over panting, Cen Sanniang stopped in front of Du Yanwan's horse recklessly, and said sharply: "You try to swing the whip at me!"

"Sister-in-law, get out of the way!" Du Yanwan was so capable of swinging the whip at her, her eyes were red.

Cen Sanniang turned around, picked up the step stool from the side of the carriage, put it at the door, and sat down: "Mr. Du, is the doctor you invited here?"

Du Xifu wiped off his sweat and said, "It will probably be soon."

"You go to meet her. Don't delay seeing grandma. Don't let mother know about this place." Cen Sanniang ordered.

When she returned to the mansion, the servant in the palace had just left.The old lady fainted, and Mrs. Zhang didn't know the news yet.Only then did the old lady be carried back to the Zhengqi hall, and she ordered someone to invite the doctor, and Du Yanwan came to the stable.
