Foster son and husband

Chapter 170
Cui Si and Cui Xi came up and together with Bai Jingyu helped Meiniang up. Meiniang walked towards Ji Qing quickly with red eyes. Zao came behind him and said to him softly: "You still have to go..."

Ji Qing turned around, but was stopped by Meiniang a few steps forward, Ji Qing was embarrassed, under the eyes of everyone, he was not as fast as a weak woman, so he had to stop and asked: "Madam Weiyuanhou is still there?" What doubts?"

Baoju said: "Our grandma..."

"It's none of your business!"

Meiniang stared at Baoju, tears welling up in her eyes, "If you call Xu Junying, you can talk, but if Xu Junying doesn't show up, you, you and Bai Zhan, don't make a sound in front of me! "

Baoju choked, seeing this situation, Ji Qing thought badly, Weiyuanhou and his wife might be having a fight, why should they meddle in when they have nothing to do?

But when Mei Niang asked him again about the decree to divorce his wife, Ji Qing pointed to the square door and said, "The official of ceremonies took it away just now! It's true. The invalid decree will naturally be taken back to the palace. Destroy it!"

Letting go of Ji Qing's fly whisk, tears finally dripped down, Meiniang was so desperate that she wanted to cry, she couldn't grasp the freedom that was so close at hand!
Bao Ju and Ji Qing looked at Mei Niang's tears falling like pearls from a close distance, and they were stunned, standing on the spot at a loss, neither leaving nor staying, Bai Zhan stayed away, and hurriedly beckoned to call Cui Thinking about it, Cui Xi and Cui Si came to see Meiniang silently, tears streaming down, and frightened, they comforted her while wiping away her tears.

And outside the square door directly opposite them, a tall and handsome man wearing a golden crown and a red robe embroidered with dragon patterns walked in. Seeing Mei Niang with tears all over his face, he froze for a moment, and suddenly waved the horsewhip in his hand, Anger welled up in his eyes, he caught up and pointed at Ji Qing and Bao Ju and cursed viciously:
"Bastards! What did you do?"

Ji Qing and Bao Ju saw who was coming, and hurriedly bowed to salute: "I've seen His Royal Highness King Qi!"

King Qi didn't even look at it, but asked Meiniang: "What did they do to you? Tell me, and I will vent your anger on you! What did you say about the imperial decree issued?"

Seeing that he was too close, Cuixi felt uneasy in her heart. She exchanged a glance with Cuisi, and helped Meiniang take a step back together. King Qi glared at the two girls, but didn't get angry, and turned to stare at Ji Qing again: " Recite the imperial decree for this king!"

Ji Qing didn't want to get entangled with King Qi, and it wasn't a confidential matter, so he recited the content of the imperial decree, and King Qi snorted:
"They specialize in such coercive things, the two of them are very similar!"

Ji Qing lowered his head and remained silent. If King Qi didn't agree with him, he would dare to speak out in front of the emperor. What would he not dare to say behind his back?
King Qi looked at Mei Niang, saw that she had stopped crying, and said with light lips: "Why are you crying? Did you change your name by crying? Don't you like that name? You can change it if you change it. Fortunately, your surname is still Qin. I'd like you to change your name to Qin Er, it's easy to write and shout, it's very convenient, I only write those two characters when I practice calligraphy now!"

Mei Niang wiped away her tears, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "What can't you call it? But let's distinguish who is who! I... I only want the Queen Mother's order, so I will take it back and take it back to do something!"

King Qi's eyes lit up and then dimmed again. He came to take a look when he heard that Yi's decree had changed, but when he heard that another imperial decree had been issued, he also felt disappointed and very annoyed.

King Qi also asked Ji Qing for the first decree, but Ji Qing had a big head, so he had to explain again that the official of ceremonies had taken him away. Niang, Mei Niang also looked at him, King Qi nodded and said: "Don't be sad, I'll figure out a way, if I don't want to live here, I won't live here, can't I really treat people like birds and lock them up!"

After hearing this sentence, Mei Niang felt better, she breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that she didn't need to be too nervous, if she missed this opportunity, she should have it again.

Ji Qing looked at Meiniang in disbelief, a little unbelievable that she had such friendship with King Qi. King Qi obviously came for Mrs. Marquis Weiyuan, but doesn't he dislike women?He broke his sleeve!

Bao Ju nodded Ji Qing's waist from behind, and Ji Qing woke up, bowed slightly to salute, and left.

The men of the Xu Mansion, Xu Junlang, Xu Junxuan, and Xu Junqiao supported the old lady and went to the inner courtyard early. They did not see King Qi, and the female relatives also followed in to serve. Bai Jingyu was worried about Mei Niang, so she ignored Xu Junlang's hint and did not leave Open, Xu Junya and Xu Junting are still there. I heard that King Qi is coming. I have never seen King Qi before. It is not easy to go up to meet the ceremony. King Qi is so arrogant that it is unreasonable. Waiting, the guards who came in couldn't help but stop all the others he didn't want to see, Bai Zhan was not spared, he was stopped at the foot of the wall, Ji Qing was the emperor's side, of course the guards recognized it, Bao Ju , Cuixi, Cuisi and Meiniang stand together, if they are pulled away, it will definitely affect Meiniang, so let them go.

Bai Jingyu stood on the porch, watched King Qi say a few words to Ji Qing and Meiniang, and then left in a blink of an eye. After a glimpse, she took a closer look at King Qi. Sure enough, the rumors were true, he was so handsome, He is tall and straight, with arrogance and nobility intertwined, forming a fascinating cool and gorgeous temperament, which makes him like a god in the sky. No wonder all the famous and noble women in the city are obsessed with him. Several girls who are waiting to marry in the White House , including her two younger sisters, also competed to be invited to participate in the beauty pageants organized by the queen mother in the name of various flower fairs. They knew clearly that they wanted to choose the princess for King Qi.

But Bai Jingyu was a little confused at this time. King Qi came to Xu Mansion suddenly, just to say a few words to Grandma. Grandma cried bitterly because she couldn't get the first order to divorce her wife. What's going on?
Could it be that sister-in-law is willing to be divorced?Why?The confusion in Bai Jingyu's eyes gradually turned into confusion.

Two people fell down in the Jinhua Hall at once, the old lady and Zhuang Yulan were groggy like summer heatstroke, Zhuang Yulan was sent into the room, and after waking up, she cried loudly and sobbed softly when she was tired, while the old lady lay on the bed. Leaning on the second couch, she remained silent, eyes closed, only her chest rose and fell sharply, letting Ruixue and the others know the anger and unwillingness in her heart.

The lunch was put on and then taken away, Zhuang Yulan didn't think about tea and rice, and the old lady barely drank half a bowl of pearl rice porridge.

In Shenshi, Second Master Xu finally came back. Hearing what had happened, he rushed to Jinhua Hall to greet his mother and ask for warmth. Old Madam Xu asked Ruixue to take a pillow and put it on her back, and sat down to talk to Second Master Xu Xiping. .

The old lady said: "Where did Junying go? Why do you ask that no one knows? Everyone in Tsinghua University is dead! I want to wait for him to come back and ask him to take me to see the queen mother and ask what is going on?"

Xu Xiping said: "Mother, please be safe, don't worry, you always don't know: Junying bears the emperor's order, it is normal for him not to return to the mansion for a few days and nights, and it will be a few years before he goes to the border after the war!"

"Don't interrupt me! I just want you to find him and come back to see me. Lan'er has been talking about it for several months. The Queen Mother promised to be his wife. Recently, she gave the marriage, but she suddenly promised it to someone else. , I don’t recognize it at all, but what should I do? How can Lan’er bear it?”

"Mother, this is a marriage bestowed by a decree, do you still want to push it away?"

The old lady Xu said bitterly: "The decree of divorcing his wife can be taken back, why can't this be changed? Lan'er has been rationed to Junying, and if he agrees to someone else, he will take his wife and have revenge!"

Xu Xiping hurriedly said: "My mother! If you say that, you will really ruin Lan'er's reputation! Junying is willing to listen to your words, it is true that he wants to marry Lan'er as an equal wife, the emperor and empress will not allow it! The minister heard with his own ears that day, the emperor said to Junying: The emperor only has one empress, Junying, how many wives do you want? Concubines are fine, but wives cannot be remarried!"

The old lady was startled: "When did you hear it, why didn't you tell me?"

Xu Xiping didn't know what to say for a moment, he paused, and said, "Oh, son, isn't he busy? I heard it a few days ago, and I didn't have time to say it, so it just happened like this!"

The old lady snorted: "How busy can you be? The palace has been busy these few days, and the emperor can't go to court as usual, so what are you busy in the government office? You can pay attention to this, and don't cause trouble Come on, Junying settled that matter for you last year, and the men in the mansion have just been recommended as officials, so you have to think about them!"

Xu Xiping Nuo Nuo responded, hiding something in his heart, and continued to advise his mother: "The queen mother's decree is actually the sacred will, and it cannot be violated, otherwise our Xu family will be punished, the old and the young, that can't bear it." The man Lan'er was given to marry, his son had heard about, was a foreign official favored by the former emperor. Now that he returns to the capital, the emperor can't despise him. He was promoted to an official position. Knowing that he recently lost his wife, he wanted to add another one. Grace, it is reasonable to marry Lan'er!"

The old lady said with a straight face: "The person who was favored by the former emperor may be so old. Our Lan'er is a good girl with a yellow flower, but she has suffered a big loss by making a sequel! Some of the royal family are princesses. Since we want to give grace , can’t you marry your own girl? But you go around our family Lan’er!”

"How can the royal princess marry a half-year-old man who is four or fifty years old?"

Seeing the old lady staring at him, Xu Xiping knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said: "Actually, it is understandable for the Queen Mother to fall in love with Lan'er. Aren't we somewhat related to the royal family? The royal family is willing to marry a girl from a relative's family. That is grace. On the other hand, the dealer can justifiably rely on asking the Queen Mother for help. The person Lan'er married is of high rank. From the second rank, Lan'er's uncle is the magistrate of the third rank. In the future, relying on this Son-in-law, there are many places to support and help!"

At this time, the old lady finally realized the smell, she nodded slightly: "Er'er is right, you can't marry Junying, you have to marry someone who is respectable."In the end, the queen mother bestowed the marriage on a newly promoted second-rank Beijing official. After all, this marriage is only beneficial to the banker!
The old lady let out a long sigh of relief. After being disappointed, she regained hope. She asked Mother Ji to go to the kitchen to prepare a table of good dishes. She comforted Yulan tonight and started preparing for marriage tomorrow. You have to get married.
