Jade color and fragrance

Chapter 10 Princess Shang

The Yi decree to dissolve the engagement was also sent to Liuxian County Prince's Mansion.Mrs. Liu accepted Yi's decree tremblingly, but Liu Xi was overwhelmed and at a loss, and finally asked Huang Gonggong: "Elder-in-law, but what did I do wrong? Why did the empress dowager issue Yi's decree to dissolve the engagement?"

Eunuch Huang smiled: "Your Majesty, our family doesn't know about this. Madam, the Empress Dowager wants you to enter the palace to see her."

"Xi'er, this..." The old lady was worried, thinking that the Queen Mother was going to reprimand her for treating Yan Yu poorly.But she really does not agree with this marriage. Although Yan Yu was born in Yan Guogong's mansion, she is really an orphan now.Moreover, there are rumors in Beijing that she is in poor health and will hinder her children. She is weak in the royal family of Liuxian County, so it is impossible to have a mistress like her.

"Mother, it's all right. The child will go with you."

The old lady rode in a carriage, and Liu Xi rode a fast horse, driving side by side.

Liu Xi is eight feet long, with a dignified appearance, and both civil and military skills. He is the dream of a noble girl in Beijing.Even though he looked lonely at the moment, it attracted many passers-by to stop and watch.

Liu Xi was not allowed to enter the palace without summons, so he could only wait anxiously at the gate of the palace.Just after Liu Xi finished the [-]th back and forth, the old lady changed her dejected attitude and came back happily.

"Mother, what's going on?"

"Congratulations, let's talk about it in the car." The old lady smiled.

Liu Xi got into the carriage and asked anxiously.

"My son, it's a good thing, a great thing. The Empress Dowager asked me to propose marriage to the royal family and asked you to marry Princess Linlang, and the emperor will issue an imperial decree to marry her tomorrow."

"What? Mother, do you agree?"

"Of course I did. What's wrong with you?"

"Mother, my son has been looking forward to marrying Miss Yan since he was a child, how can he be a princess."

"You are confused. The Empress Dowager has ordered you to break off the engagement, so you should stop thinking about it. Our county palace is not what it used to be, and now you are the only seedling. The future of the entire family rests on your shoulders alone. The good thing of heaven's pie is rare."

"Mother."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we go back to the house. Partition walls have ears."

Liu Xi could only give up temporarily.

As night fell, Liu Xi couldn't change his mother's mind, nor could he hurt his widowed mother's heart, so he could only go out of the house to relax.After walking, he came to Yan Guogong's mansion.

In these years, he often sneaked a glance at her when she might go out, like an idiot.The thought that she could become his wife after the age of Jiji, he always wakes up in the middle of the night laughing.

The sad man took out a small red sandalwood box in his sleeve, opened it and stared at it obsessively.The luminous pearl of the East China Sea illuminates the surroundings in the night, and Liu Xi can vaguely see the smiling face of a beautiful woman in the luminous pearl.

This is the treasure that he found after searching for a year. Originally, he wanted to entrust someone to make a congratulatory gift, but Bo Jia smiled, but now it is a delusion.

These years, because of Princess Linlang's love, he couldn't protect her in an upright manner, and he couldn't comfort her in the place closest to her.Originally, I was only waiting to make meritorious deeds, to get a marriage from the emperor, so as to dispel the princess' thoughts, but now everything is going to be for naught?
He refuses to accept it!At least one more fight is needed before the deal is done.

Liu Xi resolutely rode towards the palace, handed over the signboard and entered the palace. When he arrived at the gate of Deqianqing palace, he was stopped by the eunuch Chen Gonggong: "Hey, I said, the prince of the county, if you don't look at the time, at this time, Concubine Shu The empress is driving inside. Our family dare not disturb the emperor's pleasure. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Liu Xi lifted up his robe and knelt down towards the palace gate. "Eunuch, it will be late tomorrow. I have something important to see His Majesty, please pass it on for me."

"You are really a shame old slave. How can this old slave have the guts." The emperor already knew his reason for coming, and he was determined to fulfill Princess Linlang, so he would not meet him.

"The minister will kneel here and wait for His Majesty. His Majesty will see you tomorrow."

"Hey, why are you doing this?"

The busy man took the futon and helped Liu Xi kneel down.They also asked people to watch some county kings, so as not to let the county kings lose their health.

Eunuch Chen is also getting old, and he stayed with the emperor for a day, serving him on horseback and on horseback. At this moment, he only felt soreness in his waist and legs, so he said goodbye and left.

In the early morning of the second day, the emperor shouted: "Tell that bastard to come in."

Liu Xi limped into the main hall to face the saint. Just as he was about to make a statement, the emperor shouted again: "I told you to marry the royal princess, and you have been wronged?"

"I dare not."

"You don't dare, I think you are very brave. It seems that you haven't broken the engagement for some reason, and I want you to see it today. Chen Guang, you go and announce Yan Guogong and his sister to the palace." Yan Guogong He just took up a vacant position in the Ministry of Rites and didn't need to go to court on weekdays.

"You don't need to go to court today, rest here and wait for them." The emperor always treated important ministers with courtesy.

Being able to see Yan Yu again, Liu Xi was extremely grateful, and there was infinite hope in his heart to redeem the marriage contract.

Aunt Xian quickly put on makeup for Yan Yu, and then picked out a set of outstanding clothes for Yan Yu to change into.Then he followed Yan Yu to the gate of the mansion, and the Duke had already arrived first.

The Duke of the State was already sitting in the carriage, and when he heard the sound, he came down and told Yan Yu: "Yu'er, the reason for the emperor's summoning this time is to dissolve the engagement. My brother found out that the Duke of the County was doing something last night. Kneeling in front of the Qing palace all night. You have to be mentally prepared."

Looking at the girl in front of him who was only a few months older than his daughter, the Duke was a little ashamed for a moment.For so many years, he had completely ignored her.

"I had a discussion with your second and third brothers too late last night, so I didn't bother you to rest. I originally planned to talk to you today, but it was so unfortunate. Don't worry, your elder brother will take care of your affairs this time. In addition, Enter the palace today, be careful not to offend Longyan."

After Yan Yu got into her carriage, she was still thinking: This big brother of hers knows the current affairs best.In the last life, they didn't have any chance to talk alone, let alone call him brother.

Why bother Liu Xi, in this life, she won't give him another chance.

Waiting for a beautiful woman is always difficult, and finally looking forward to Miss Yan, Liu Xi had no time to take care of his uncomfortable knee, so he endured the pain and went straight to pay his respects: "Master Yan, Miss Yan."

A little eunuch came up to pass a message: "Your Majesty, Miss Yan, the Emperor ordered you two to go to the Chaohua Pavilion in the Imperial Garden to have a talk. Please go this way with the servant."

He said again: "My lord, please wait here."

Liu Xi looked at the light blue figure in front of him, and his heart was surging.Miss Yan seems to have grown taller, and her figure is even more graceful. This height is the most suitable for hugging him.This is the first time the two have been so close since they grew up, but it's a pity that she no longer pretends to him.

If at this time, she could look back at him and smile brightly, it would be great; if at this time, they could hold hands and chat with each other, chatting freely.He only hoped that the journey would be longer, and longer.

However, the Chaohua Pavilion is close at hand, and the little eunuch has already bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty, Miss Yan, the surrounding area is empty, and the servant has already cleared the way. If you have something to say, feel free to say it. The servant will leave first."
