I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

The "Second Cousin" just now made him flustered, and he couldn't say a single word of the words he had planned to drive away.

Lin Cheng'an's upright brows relaxed just now, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, a smile that was not on the skin.

Lin Cheng'an said softly: "My cousin's marriage is the most worrying thing for the whole family. Today, General Wei asked my cousin to marry me on the top of the mountain. My aunt already knew about it. Knowing about the queen, please ask the general...to ask for blessings."

Wei Mingji frowned instantly, thanked Lin Chengan worriedly, boarded the carriage and drove away.

On the carriage, Bao Shang asked softly: "The empress and crown prince will know about this sooner or later. The empress also has General Xu, the lord of Ning County, and now she has changed back. The empress will not embarrass the general, will she?"

"You don't understand. Queen Xu and I came to ask for truth. I wanted to make an agreement with Princess Youning first, and then take the rest of the matter slowly. I didn't expect Mrs. Nanyang Hou to be quick-tempered, so she informed the queen so quickly. It doesn't matter, this matter will have to be faced sooner or later, I am afraid that the queen will blame the princess." Wei Mingji was worried and asked the coachman to go faster.

Bao Shangdao: "We have learned about Mrs. Nanyang Hou's temperament for a long time. She can do anything for the sake of the princess. If she exposes this matter to the queen, I am afraid that she is also afraid that Nanyang Hou's mansion will be held accountable. Now it has come to the fore. On the contrary, the general doesn't have to worry about anything, the third princess has already made sense of it, and it will be a matter of course."

Suddenly remembered something, Bao Shang's brows tightened, and he asked anxiously: "Master Youning ran to Jingshui Tower after coming down from Luting Mountain. He must have not figured out how to explain it to Mrs. Nanyang Hou. The two elder brothers of the Lin family are not talkative people either, how did Mrs. Nanyang Hou find out so quickly?"

Wei Mingji grinned, and said: "Who else can there be except Wen Shilang. He wished that Princess Youning and I would get married tomorrow."

Bao Shang was puzzled and asked: "Isn't Shi Lang Wen the princess' brother? Why don't you stand with the princess?"

Wei Mingji said playfully: "He wants to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan to become the Marquis of Nanyang. I'm afraid he is a little impatient, and the gain outweighs the loss in the end."

Today Wen Lin came back from Luting Mountain, and made a special trip to the Hou Mansion to hand over the Vermillion Bird Hairpin to Mrs. Hou, and told all about Wei Mingji's proposal to Lin Xingwei.

The Lin family immediately exploded. Not only Lin Xingwei was reprimanded, but the two cousins ​​were also charged with the crime of failing to report. Lin Xingwei was so depressed that he ran to Jingshui Tower to have a drink.

Wei Mingji asked with deep eyes: "Is the matter of the third princess settled?"

Bao Shang said: "Don't worry, general, the people and the wine have been delivered as agreed."

……

After sleeping for two hours, Lin Xingwei finally woke up. He forgot everything he did and said last night. He didn't even know how to get home. beads.

Mrs. He looked unhappy, and said angrily, "Mrs. Hou asked someone from the palace to send a message, and asked the princess to go to the palace to face the saint after tidying up."

Yunzhu looked worried, and said: "Madam went to the palace last night and didn't come back all night, princess, this matter has become a big deal, I'm afraid your majesty and queen will blame the princess on him."

Lin Xingwei supported his head and thought for a moment, then remembered what had happened, his face was gloomy for a moment, he straightened up and lay back on the bed, and said angrily: "What am I to blame? Is it because I seduced Wei Mingji? That's a great injustice. If the empress asks, I will definitely explain my suffering clearly."

Mrs. He threw the prepared clothes on Lin Xingwei's body, and said angrily, "Then princess, why don't you get up quickly and complain to the empress?"

……

After getting dressed, Lin Xingwei boarded the carriage and headed for the palace.

Lin Xingwei of the palace has been here countless times, and he has never felt as tragic as this time.Luo Fu parked the carriage outside the gate of the palace, and Lin Xingwei walked in. It usually took half an hour to get to the meeting hall.

In the main hall, besides the empress couple who sat high, there was also the concubine Gao who seldom went out. On the seats on both sides were Mrs. Hou and General Lu Yi.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess sat in the seats on the lower left in turn. In the center of the hall were Wei Mingji and the Third Princess, who were kneeling upright. Beside the Third Princess was also kneeling a young master in a blue brocade dress.

This was the first time Lin Xingwei saw Wei Mingji wearing a court dress, a vermilion court dress and a vermilion crown on his head. He was majestic and unyielding.

Lin Xingwei felt uneasy, this is the rhythm of students asking their parents to make trouble.Containing his nervous expression, he stepped forward and knelt in front of the high platform, paying homage to the emperor and concubine.Lin Xingwei was casual outside, but he never lost his dignity in front of the elders.

After paying the salute, Lin Xingwei got up and said, "Your Majesty and Empress, please forgive me for being late, my servant!"

His Majesty supported his head with one hand, with a sad face and nothing to say, the Empress scolded loudly: "This matter makes the palace restless, but you sleep peacefully, and you will not enter the palace until the corner, you Have you never put me and His Majesty in your eyes?"

Just as Lin Xingwei was about to plead guilty, Wei Mingji's irrefutable voice sounded from behind: "Queen! I have informed you, this matter has nothing to do with Princess Youning!"

"I'm just a courtier of the imperial court. I can do my best for your Majesty and the court. However, my marriage is a personal matter. I don't have the right to marry whoever I want or not?"

"Although the minister's biological parents are far away in Qingzhou, there are still adoptive parents in the capital who can make decisions about the minister's marriage, so the queen will not have to work hard."

The hall was dumbfounded for a while, and the crown prince asked in surprise, "General Wei, what are you talking about? You can contradict my mother, this is a serious crime!"

The queen's face was terribly gloomy, Gao Guifei said coldly: "What is the queen's majesty? Why didn't General Wei make it clear at the beginning that he didn't want to marry the third princess, and then began to regret it after a year and a half. Do you take it as a joke?"

Wei Mingji said calmly: "Gao Guifei may have misunderstood. I never explicitly promised to marry the third princess. Some people deliberately spread rumors about me and the third princess in the palace. I ask your majesty to be the minister and the third princess. , punish those who spread rumors, and restore the reputation of the minister and the third princess!"

The queen was so angry that she slapped the desk hard, and reprimanded loudly: "You actually said this is a rumor? Are you saying that Bengong is the one who spread the rumor?"

It's not an exaggeration for Wei Mingji to go on and condemn the death penalty. Lin Xingwei bowed and said: "Queen, calm down! It's a minister's daughter, Wei, General Wei has always had a minister's daughter in his heart, so he is unwilling to accept the third princess. General Wei asked the minister's daughter to marry her yesterday. , was rejected by the courtiers, so he contradicted the queen, he didn't do it on purpose, and I ask the queen to forgive me!"

Wei Mingji was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Xingwei to speak for him.

The emperor finally raised his head and asked sternly: "General Wei, you have always thought of Princess Ning and you can't help but look down on others. It's not once or twice that the queen said that she would marry the third princess for you. You can't slander the queen's love for you just to get rid of the relationship with the third princess. At the beginning, you and Princess Youning were the matchmaker for you when you discussed marriage. You were reluctant at the beginning, but why are you involved now? ?”
