marriage gentleman

Chapter 21

Qi Guang asked Jiang Dezhong to help Yun Zhen find his elder brother in private.

A few days later, Jiang Dezhong handed over the list of Wei people who had remained in the capital for more than ten years to Yun Zhen.Qi Guang gave Yun Zhen the pass token to leave the palace, giving Yun Zhen the greatest convenience.It's a pity that despite this, Yun Zhen met all the Wei people on the list one by one, but still had no clue.

After a while, Qi Guang remembered about Yun Zhen and called Jiang Dezhong over.

"How's the matter with brother Yun Zhen?"

Jiang Dezhong said: "I still don't have a clue about what to say to Your Majesty. Mr. Yun has seen all the Wei people in the capital, and he also confirmed that he is not his elder brother."

Such a result was also expected by Qi Guang, so Qi Guang didn't pay much attention to it, and said: "Be more careful in the future." After a pause, she continued: "I haven't had dinner with the emperor for a long time. Let's share today's dinner with the emperor." It happened to be a good time to discuss with the emperor about his marriage.The emperor's younger brother's lifelong event is even very important, she also thought about it for a long time, during this time, she also called Murong Dang and Zhou Ruyi into the palace respectively, and asked a lot of questions, both of them made her very satisfied, looked left and right, The two are evenly matched.

Qi Guang was troubled for several days, and then remembered Zhou Muqing's words, he said that Zhou Ruyi was active and lively in private, which made Qi Guang's heart slightly tilted towards Zhou Ruyi.

If there is no accident, it is estimated that the candidate for Princess Min is Zhou's daughter.

When it was dark, Qi Xuanfang entered the palace.The two sisters had dinner together, and Qi Guang mentioned Qi Xuan's marriage with a smile.Qi Xuan frowned and said, "But it's up to His Majesty to decide."

Looking at Qi Xuan's appearance, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Qi Xuan is two years older than Yun Zhen. Although Yun Zhen occasionally shows strange expressions to her, she still looks like a young man, but her imperial brother doesn't look like a young man from head to toe. Very rusty.

She tried to close the distance between the two.

"You can't say that. This is a major matter of my brother's marriage. How can I let the widow decide? The widow has picked two best candidates for you. You can choose one." After finishing speaking, Qi Guang clapped his hands, and Jiang Dezhong presented two candidates. Scroll.

The painting scroll unfolded slowly, and two beauties of equal appearance were displayed in front of Qi Xuan.

Qi Guang said: "The one on the left is Zhou Ruyi, the daughter of the Zhou family, and the one on the right is Murong Dang, the daughter of the Murong family. Both of them are virtuous and can manage the family business for you. Let's see which one you like, my widow." In a few days, I will decree to grant marriage."

Qi Xuan looked at it carefully, and it was still the same sentence.

"Your Majesty is the master."

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Qi Guang had no choice but to say: "Since you let the widow make up his mind, the widow will choose the daughter of the Zhou family, and she is a perfect match for you."

Qi Xuan said: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

The emperor's younger brother's marriage was confirmed, Qi Guang was happy in his heart, and there was a smile in his eyes.After finishing the meal, Qi Xuan got up to say goodbye.Qi Guang said with a smile: "Don't worry, my brother, I will choose the best day, first decide on the marriage, and then slowly decide on the wedding day."

Qi Xuan left the palace with his entourage.

After leaving the palace, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is clearly afraid of you. Although you have chosen a girl from two families for your lord just now, it is obvious that your majesty prefers a girl from the Zhou family. If your lord chooses the daughter of General Murong, Your Majesty will definitely try every means to dispel the prince's thoughts."

Qi Xuan said indifferently: "No nonsense."

"...Yes, I know my mistakes in my humble position." At the morning court the next day, Qi Guangzhong announced the gift of the marriage, and the Ministry of Rites prepared for the marriage.A few days later, the Ministry of Rites presented a few good days. Qi Guang originally wanted to ask Qi Xuan to come over and choose a date together, but thinking of that day, she guessed that brother would say that again but it was up to His Majesty to decide, so she decided to do it herself. He made a decision and set the wedding on the tenth day of March next spring.

The tenth day of March is a good day for marriage, ground-breaking, travel, and blessing. There are almost no taboos, and it will be a rare good day in the next three years, so Qi Guang decisively fixed the marriage on that day regardless of obstacles.

Although it is said that her marriage will be three years later, good days are rare.Her brother, she wants to give him the best.

"You don't need to say too much, this matter is settled. Alright, let's go to court."

Before leaving the conference hall, Qi Guang glanced at the vacant seat behind Lin Quan, paused for a moment, and strode away.Lu Li didn't go to the morning court today and took sick leave.

After returning to Chengqian Hall, Qi Guang changed into his court clothes and walked straight to the quiet room.

The palace people have already prepared drawing paper and ink.

Qi Guang held the wolf hair, and with a wave of his wrist, a splash-ink landscape painting was about to be completed.Standing outside the quiet room, Jiang Dezhong couldn't help feeling a little worried.Half an hour later, Qi Guang finally walked out of the quiet room, and Jiang Dezhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He knows that His Majesty likes to paint, but he also knows that His Majesty likes to paint every time he is unhappy.After he came down to the court just now, His Majesty obviously had something wrong with his complexion, and he went to paint in the quiet room as soon as he came back, obviously he was upset.

As the emperor's confidant, one of his duties is to make the emperor happy.So while Qi Guang was painting inside, Jiang Dezhong was outside racking his brains thinking about what made the emperor unhappy.

Jiang Dezhong looked at Qi Guang without any trace, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want to call Mr. Yun over?"

"No need." The words were very decisive.

Jiang Dezhong ruled out the possibility of Yun Zhen, and carefully recalled what happened this morning.When His Majesty bestowed the marriage to King Min, his expression was still correct, and it seemed that his expression became inappropriate when he was about to go down to court.

Jiang Dezhong's eyes lit up.

He served tea to Qi Guang, and then quietly told the little servant beside him, "Go and find out how the minister of the lower road is doing? What kind of illness is he suffering from? Has the imperial physician visited him?"

The voice of the waiter.

After a while, the little servant came back and whispered something in his ear.

Jiang Dezhong added tea to Qi Guang, and casually mentioned: "Your Majesty, I heard from the imperial physician in the palace that Lu Shilang had contracted a cold, and it is not serious. It is estimated that he will recover in three or four days."

Qi Guang glanced at Jiang Dezhong.

Qi Guang said: "You have been with the widow for so many years, and your thoughts are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Jiang Dezhong laughed.

She said again: "Back off, all back down."

Jiang Dezhong was startled, His Majesty's reaction was wrong, shouldn't he say that he wants to go out of the palace to visit Minister Lu?Could it be that he guessed wrong?Jiang Dezhong was very puzzled, but Qi Guang's order could not be disobeyed, so he had no choice but to leave.

After everyone left, Qi Guangzhiyi looked into the void.

It was indeed because of Lu Li that she was upset today, but to be more precise, it was not entirely because of Lu Li, but herself.When she went to court this morning, she didn't see Lu Li, so she felt uncomfortable.After going to court, she suddenly realized something. She didn't know when, she had been quite used to Lu Li being by her side.

When my mother was alive, she often told herself to deliberately have many, many men, but the only thing to remember was not to rely on men, nor to fall in love with anyone.If you really fall in love with it, you will kill it.

She didn't think that she could rub her neck against Lu Li, but what she could confirm was that she relied on Jing Heng.Such absurd thing did not happen to Ah Qing, but happened to Jing Heng.

Qi Guang found it incredible.

She scratched her head, then her ears.

Oh, it's stressful.After a few days, Lu Li still did not come to court.Qi Guang still went back to the quiet room to paint every day as soon as he went to court, and it was like this for several days. Jiang Dezhong saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking.

Finally on the fifth day, when Qi Guang returned to Chengqian Palace, instead of going to the quiet room, he changed into a skirt that he had left the palace, and then called Jiang Dezhong to prepare the car.

Jiang Dezhong looked at Qi Guang, and felt that the more he looked at His Majesty, the more he seemed to be at odds with Minister Lu.But Jiang Dezhong didn't dare to say this idea, so he hurriedly called someone to prepare the car.

"Where is Your Majesty going?"

Qi Guang was silent for a while, and said, "Lufu."

At the same time, Lu Li in the Lu Mansion also received the news that Qi Guang was leaving the palace.He asked, "Where did His Majesty's carriage go?" The attendant said, "Just left the palace gate a quarter of an hour ago."

Lu Li said, "Okay, the decoction will start in a quarter of an hour."

"Yes."

"Go back."

Lu Li immediately turned around and went back to the room, quickly took off the brocade robe on his body, let down his black hair, and lay down on the couch with only his undergarment left.He squeezed his throat lightly, coughed heavily, and his voice suddenly became hoarse and low.

After about half an hour, hurried footsteps sounded outside the room.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Li's followers hurried in.

"My lord, Your Majesty is here."

Before he finished speaking, a pale yellow figure gradually appeared.Qi Guang smelled the strong smell of medicine. She wrinkled her nose, walked to the side of the couch, and asked, "Jing Heng, are you feeling better?"

He said hoarsely: "It will be cured in a few more days."

After finishing speaking, he coughed heavily a few times, his pale face gradually coughing up a blush.
