Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 104 The Bickering Enemy

Xiao Hongxuan was taken aback for a moment, still in the fog, "Which Miss Liu?"

Shao Ziyu understood and reminded him kindly, "It's the one with Miss Guan, Miss Liu." The servant on the side nodded fiercely, "Yes, my son, it's that Miss Liu. The princess heard that you are interested. I'm sorry, I sent someone to find out that Miss Liu is very good, so I sent someone to Liu's house to say hello to you."

Xiao Hongxuan reacted abruptly, and he stood up, "That tigress!" Leaning against the pillar to relax, Xiao Hongxuan couldn't stand it any longer, and said goodbye to Shao Ziyu quickly, and greeted the boy, "What are you doing in a daze? Let's go, let's go!"

Lin Qingran looked at Xiao Hongxuan who was fleeing away, and at Shao Ziyu, "Which one is better, Ms. Guan or Ms. Liu?"

"The Guan family and the Liu family have always been in Yanzhou City, and the two young ladies were born there. Miss Guan's skills are even better, but on the surface, Miss Guan is gentler." Shao Ziyu explained Lin Qing Ran understood, in fact, both of them could be tigresses, but one was outwardly and the other restrained.

Thinking of the terrified expression on Xiao Hongxuan's face just now, Lin Qingran smiled unkindly
Here, Xiao Hongxuan hurried back to the Northern Palace, originally wanted to intercept her on the way, but he didn't know where the carriage of the pro-marriage was, so he had to go back to the Northern Palace first to prevent the mother and concubine from continuing to think so.

Arriving at the Northern Prince's Mansion, Xiao Hongxuan hurriedly ran to the courtyard of his mother and concubine. Here, the Northern Princess was discussing with the nuns around her how to renovate Xiao Hongxuan's courtyard. Miss Liu's age was fifteen or sixteen, and her son was nineteen. , Marriage must be settled, isn't it a matter of getting married in minutes.

"The Shizi's yard was just renovated a few days ago. According to this old slave, it's better to add more utensils. Then Miss Liu's family has been living in Yanzhou, and she has a cheerful and cheerful temperament. She must not stick to these things."

"She's not rigid, we can't be negligent." Princess Bei smiled and shook her head, "I just like this girl's freshness, Hongxuan is at this age, and her temper is still childish, there must be a girl like this who can restrain him, sooner or later. A few years ago, the empress mentioned his marriage to me, and the prince and I felt that there was no need to marry so early, and we were afraid that he would harm other girls."

This mother was worried that her son would harm others, and she had already sold Xiao Hongxuan completely. She opened the booklet in her hand, and she needed to add things and repair what should be repaired. If there is a happy event in the Northern Palace, it must be Be lively.

Xiao Hongxuan rushed into the room, Princess Bei saw him, and smiled, "He's flustered, what do you look like, mother, let someone fetch water to wash him."

"Mother Concubine, I heard that you sent someone to Liu's house to say goodbye?" Still sweating, Xiao Hongxuan hurriedly sat opposite Princess Bei to ask for confirmation.

Princess Bei nodded, "Yeah, you don't like Miss Liu's family. It's the first time your father and mother concubine have heard that you have a favorite girl in so many years. They sent someone to inquire. This Liu family is a family of loyalty. The Liu family has been guarding Yanzhou and the border for several generations, and this Miss Liu has a good temperament, so let's not pick and choose the family background, since you like it, the concubine mother will speak for you."

"Hurry up and call her back, I won't like that tigress, mother concubine, you made a mistake!" Xiao Hongxuan was still half drunk at the moment, and even frightened, he asked Princess Bei to send someone to escort the person who was going to marry him. call back.

"Nonsense, what kind of tigress!" Bei Wangfei looked serious, and reached out to pat his forehead, "It's fine to say that the girl is a tigress, I think it's fine, you said I was wrong, mother concubine, then what on earth are you doing?" Who do you like." She got it right, there were only two young ladies helping Master Shao that day, one surnamed Liu and the other surnamed Guan.

Could it be Miss Guan.

Bei Wangfei glanced at her son, saw that he was muttering and refused to speak, and she understood, "Then Miss Guan and her concubine have also inquired about it, and they came back to Luodu City to make an engagement, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Mother Concubine, how can you say that!" The mother said so unfeelingly, Xiao Hongxuan glared at her, "Anyway, I won't marry that tigress." After saying that, he got up and wanted to go out.

"Stop!" Princess Bei called out slowly after walking a few steps.

Xiao Hongxuan really stopped in his tracks, and looked back at Princess Bei, "Concubine Mu, you can't mess with the mandarin ducks."

"If you don't want to marry her, it depends on whether or not she wants to marry you today." Bei Wangfei poured him a cup of tea and said leisurely.

These words sounded very familiar to Xiao Hongxuan. In Shao's house before, he just told Brother Shao that his status was so noble, so why should Miss Guan look down on him? The blood came up, sat down, picked up the cup and took a big sip, "Why doesn't she want to marry me."

"Then why is she willing to marry you? If you don't want to marry, it depends on whether she is willing to marry. If she accepts this marriage, it will be useless if you are willing to marry." Princess Bei knew her son too well, and slowly Said.

Sure enough, Xiao Hongxuan's expression was wrong, "What reason does she have for not marrying!" If he didn't dislike that tigress, why would she not marry? dislike?
"Since you are so confident, let's see if the Liu family should agree to this marriage." Bei Wangfei said with a smile.

"Look and see!" Xiao Hongxuan sat on his buttocks now, and was successfully bypassed by his mother and concubine, throwing his original purpose of rushing over to the sky.

I went to the Liu family to say goodbye, but there was no news that day. Mrs. Liu said that she would discuss it with Mr. Liu, but there was news the next afternoon, and the Liu family sent someone to say that the marriage was accepted.

When Xiao Hongxuan heard the news, he was reading in the study, and when he heard the report from the boy, he hurried to the courtyard of Princess Bei, and hurriedly refused, "Concubine Mother, no, I don't want to marry this tigress."

"I've already talked about this marriage. You said that you don't want to marry and you don't want to marry. The gifts from the Northern Palace have been sent over, and the gift from the Liu family has also been sent today." The Northern Princess calmly ordered the mother to go down and prepare things. Seeing his son's distraught look, he added, "Yesterday, you agreed to it yourself. It depends on whether the Liu family agrees."

"I, I promised to see if he would agree or not, but I didn't say that I would marry her." Xiao Hongxuan sat down with his neck stuck, he felt that he was deceived by his mother and concubine.

"Nonsense!" Bei Wangfei suddenly darkened her face, "Marriage is such a trifling matter. Since you promised to see if she would agree, and the Liu family agreed, but you said you would not marry, you are deliberately ruining Miss Liu's reputation."

"No matter what you say now, the mother concubine is right." Xiao Hongxuan snorted, "If you don't say that, mother concubine, how could I follow your words."

Bei Wangfei also directly admitted, "You know that the mother and concubine are right. Our Northern Palace must have the demeanor of the prince's mansion. As the son of the Northern Prince, you must also have the demeanor of being a prince. If you agree, you will marry. The concubine mother But I didn't force you, a good girl from the Liu family, how could you allow you to go back on your word and waste like this."

Bei Wangfei's words hit Xiao Hongxuan's life. He is not a villain at all, and he is kinder than anyone else in his heart. When he hears that the reputation of the girl's family is going to be ruined, what's the matter? Not happy, "But, concubine mother, you are fierce, she is a tigress, I don't like her."

"If you don't like her, why do you mention her more than Miss Guan? If it weren't for this, why would the mother concubine send someone to inquire about Miss Liu?" Xiao Hongxuan had several contacts with Miss Guan and Miss Liu when the case was first heard. When he came back and described it to Princess Bei, he always mentioned Ms. Liu a lot, because in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she often made him unable to step down with one word, and made him very angry.

"There is a reason for that." Xiao Hongxuan retorted, how could he like such a girl.

"Then you tell the concubine mother what the woman you like should be like." The northern princess followed the temptation, Xiao Hongxuan thought for a while, "She should have a gentle appearance, and she is not as arrogant and hypocritical as the women in Luodu City, with a bright and generous temper. Kind."

"Miss Liu has two older brothers. When she was in Yanzhou, she and Mrs. Liu took care of her father and her two older brothers. She is a rare and virtuous girl. She is very polite in dealing with people and things. Everyone who knows her says she is gentle. Miss Wan, the concubine thinks that this mandarin duck record is not a mess, and you are also destined."

Princess Bei spoke very seriously, Xiao Hongxuan looked at her, trying to find a false appearance on her face, but he couldn't find it.

In the end, Princess Bei said, "If you really don't like Miss Liu, Concubine Mother will also withdraw this marriage for you. After all, it's up to you to like it. Concubine Mother's feeling good is not the most important thing. "

After talking a long list, I added this at the end. Didn’t it make Xiao Hongxuan even more entangled? The Northern Princess asked him to go out and think about it for himself. The nanny came in here, helped the Northern Princess to get up, and said worriedly, “Princess, if the eldest son really If you don't like this Miss Liu, then this marriage."

"No." Bei Wangfei shook her head, "How does he know what it means to really like him? He can only tell me what kind of temperament Miss Guan is. She is very gentle. When talking about Miss Liu, look at him. How much can I tell you.” If you are interested in a person, if you like a person, you will want to know, and you will know so clearly
After a few days, news spread that the Northern Palace in Luodu City was going to be married to the Liu family. Speaking of this family background, the Liu family was not worthy of the Northern Palace. He has established a son with a noble status, and women from ordinary aristocratic families are not worthy of him, let alone a family like the Liu family who was born as a general.

But the Northern Prince and the Northern Princess don’t dislike it. The Northern Prince’s son is handsome. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t make a comeback. He will be a prince after he doesn’t. In the capital city, there is such a good marriage.

And the protagonist of this story, Xiao Hongxuan, is playing with Brother Han in the Shao Mansion at this time.

Xiao Hongxuan liked Brother Han's chubby appearance, and Shao Ziyu would come back in half an hour, so Lin Qingran left them to play in the pavilion in the garden.

Walking over with Siqi and some refreshments, Lin Qingran heard Xiao Hongxuan ask Brother Han, "Boy, do you think I should talk to her about this?"

Brother Han held a fruit in his hand and took a bite, then looked up at him, "It should."

"But now that the marriage is settled, isn't it very kind of me to do so." Xiao Hongxuan then changed his tone, and Brother Han cooperated, "Yes."

"Boy, do you think I should look for her, or shouldn't I?" Xiao Hongxuan looked down at him, Brother Han thought for a while, but he was completely at a loss as to what he was talking about, or was he picking words in his words, " It shouldn't be."

"You don't think it should be." Xiao Hongxuan sighed, looked up and saw Lin Qingran walking over with a smile, a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, I'm bothering you."

"No." Lin Qingran glanced at her son with a suppressed smile, "Talk slowly, I'll go see if my husband is back."

"Sister-in-law, wait." Xiao Hongxuan called to stop her embarrassedly, "Hongxuan is confused, and would like to ask sister-in-law a few questions."

Lin Qingran nodded, and Xiao Hongxuan asked her, "Sister-in-law, did you meet Brother Shao before you got married?"

Lin Qingran probably guessed what he wanted to ask, "I met my husband a few times when we got married, but we didn't communicate much, and we can't talk about Xu Xin." It should be said that she couldn't talk about Xu Xin.

"Then you marry without meeting someone you like, won't you regret it?"

Lin Qingran didn't expect Xiao Hongxuan's ideas to be so 'vanguard'. In such an environment, it was all a matchmaker's agreement with parents. Like Xiao Hongxuan's insistence on finding someone he likes to marry is also the reason why he is entangled now.

"Do you think I'm living a good life now?" Lin Qingran asked him with a smile.

Xiao Hongxuan nodded, and Lin Qingran continued, "My husband is the one I like, why should I regret it?"

"You said you like Miss Guan, but I have never heard you talk about other things you like about her other than gentleness. Do you think that Miss Guan is better than Miss Liu, or is Miss Guan not like Liu? The lady refuted your words like that, and we have never heard you say that there is something wrong with the Miss Liu family." Lin Qingran had previously heard from the gentleman about the contact between these two ladies and Xiao Hongxuan in the Ministry of Justice for a few days, and they were bickering enemies.

Such a direct and refreshing woman, who can nod to this marriage, must not hate him, and it is not that the Beiwang Palace is going to Gaopan Liu's house. I believe that the Beiwangfei also made this decision after inquiring, and it will not be a mess.

Xiao Hongxuan just couldn't refute what other people said, so he felt even more depressed. Turning back, he found what his concubine mother said, brother Shao said, and now even his sister-in-law said the same. Could it be that he really likes that tigress Liu Yunqian? .

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Qingran said, "Since you want to find someone you like to marry, if you don't like this person, you will definitely not marry."

Xiao Hongxuan nodded, how uncomfortable it is to live together.

"Then you didn't resist the marriage right now." Lin Qingran reminded him, Xiao Hongxuan was taken aback, but he didn't hate her either.
Half a month later, the wedding date of Beiwang Mansion and Liu's family was also set. The son of Beiwang and Miss Liu's family were not too young, so they simply chose the date of marriage in early October in the second half of the year. After Bian knew about it, he still didn't forget to prepare two gifts and sent them to Beiwangfu and Liu's respectively.

It was also in April, and the rains in the southern region had already arrived, and the disaster situation was reported to the imperial court. The crown prince was ordered to go south to inspect in person. After passing two inspection places, Luodu City suddenly received an urgent report, and the inspection team going south was assassinated. , the prince was seriously injured
