Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 256 The Lone Star and Double Beauty (1)
Qiao Wan immediately knelt down, but he heard Jinxiu say: "Duke Yongding has admired a beautiful woman for a long time, but he is afraid of abrupt beauty, so he entrusts his ministers and concubines to ask His Majesty for orders."

As if he had discovered a new continent, the emperor said in a little astonishment: "Today, the sun has come out to the west, and even Qiao Qing has a woman he likes. Sure enough, the world is peaceful, do you all want a beautiful woman?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

The emperor smiled and took a sip of his wine, "My concubine, tell me quickly, I will definitely help Qiao Qing marry a good woman early."

"It's King Jin's right-hand man, Lord Qing of Dongying Mansion, Miss Qingmei."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.Standing beside me, Qingmei, who was pouring wine for me, was stunned when she heard Jinxiu mentioning her name, she quickly raised her head to look at Feibai, passed my wine glass into my hand calmly, and stepped back behind me .

The emperor thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Qing Mei has repeatedly thwarted rebels, rescued the royal families of the two dynasties many times, and made many military exploits for the Yuan family; Qiao Qing is a hero of the Northern Expedition and the head of the inner guard, so she is indeed a good match. I don't know if King Jin is willing to entrust his love general to Qiao Qing."

Feibai laughed and said: "Duke Yongding saved the lives of his sons and ministers, and he is also the head of the inner guard. The people in front of the father and the emperor and the imperial concubine are naturally the best choice. It's just that although King Qing is not serving in the front line, it is difficult for her to take care of him." My son's backyard is well protected, so my son would like to hear what she thinks."

The emperor also nodded and said: "King Qing is different from other maidservants, and she should marry to her satisfaction."

Then Xuan Qingmei went to the middle hall.Qing Mei basically took the same route as Feibai, saying that her status was humble, and she was afraid of insulting the status of Duke Yongding, but she added a loud sentence at the end, "Humble duty has its own place, but please let the Holy One do it."

The emperor really became interested, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, Qing Mei has grown up too, and I don't know which prince it is, I'll see how you look, if it's good, let me just let Yongding Gong down, and make decisions for you first Bar."

Qingmei Xie En, pointed to a tall figure standing behind me, "It's Ziwei Sheren Jun's family, Qi Fang, styled Zhongshu, and currently holds the post of purchasing manager in the household department."

My jaw dropped, I turned my head to look at Qi Fang, and thought to myself: When we meet these two people who are usually sneering, bearded and staring, when did their relationship develop rapidly?But when he saw the handsome guy from Wannian Bingshan Qi Fang, his face turned red all of a sudden, he was full of astonishment.

The emperor recognized Qi Fang, and during the Qixi Festival night tour, and boarding a boat to test the water, he always led Qi Fang to drive him, and he seemed to have a good impression of Qi Fang.It seems that handsome guys are always popular with the Yuan family. The emperor once chatted with Qi Fang cordially, exchanged a few lines of poems, and then seemed to have discovered a new world, and praised this son for his extraordinary appearance and brilliant literary talent. I cherish the talents who can do great things very much, and I guess I even wanted to poach me at one time—because Xiao Fang came back to me, Shen Changzong invited him to a banquet at the mansion, and he clearly wanted to win him over.Of course, Xiao Fang was unmoved and pushed over skillfully.Later, Shi Qingpei said a few words, the emperor was very sorry that such a top scholar finally took orders from a woman, of course, he mentioned later that it was a good thing that this woman belonged to the Yuan family, so that's fine.

As soon as the emperor heard Qi Fang's name, he cast his sharp eyes on Qi Fang who was behind me, and sighed: "King Qing is really good at picking people, and in this selection, he will pick a husband who can make money."

Everyone laughed, and Qiao Wan's face sank.

The emperor stepped down from the throne, and the empress thoughtfully put on the sable cloak for the emperor. The emperor smiled and waved to her, telling her to sit down.Jinxiu took a quick look, her long eyelashes flickered slightly, her slender and dazzling armor picked up the luminous cup, her vermilion lips took a sip of the imperial nine-brewed grape spring, and said in a graceful voice: "As the saying goes, a hero is saddened by a beauty. Shopkeeper, has it fallen into the hands of my King Qing? You are too good at business."

Everyone held their voices and held their breath, and only looked at the imperial concubine and the emperor.Qi Fang was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Fei Bai seemed unwilling to let go of any opportunity to be a matchmaker today, he had already stepped forward, and said with a smile: "The Imperial Concubine Mingjian. Coincidentally, Zhongshu had a matchmaker two or three years ago. My confidante, Mrs. Bu, is also my wife's maidservant, the so-called good things come in pairs, and Zhongshu happens to have a surname of Qi, so why is it that the father and the emperor ordered two girls to marry together and get married together?

The emperor walked in front of Feibai, Feibai bowed immediately, but his face showed no fear.The emperor's phoenix eyes looked at Feibai, patted Feibai's shoulder lightly, and said with a slight smile: "It's still the king of Jin who is thoughtful, and it turns out that the wretched wife will not go to court. A meritorious minister like Qi Zhongshu deserves to enjoy the blessings of Qi people." .”

When everyone heard it, they hurriedly applauded.

"It's also a coincidence that the queen mentioned last time that Mrs. Suiyuan and Mrs. Yongfu Hou also want to find a good family for their daughter. If so, let's have a happy family!" The queen said gracefully. Nodding his head, the golden step on the hairpin on the cloud temples jumped and jumped, the golden light shone so that no one dared to look at him closely.The emperor waved his hand slightly, and Yue Tang, a member of Zhongshushe, had already brought a pen and ink. Everyone bowed down again, but the emperor read: "Give Yongding Gong's sister, Qiao Shi, a marriage with Dongxian King as the successor princess. The third class Suiyuan Duke , Chang Zaidao’s daughter of Taipu Siqing Chang’s Guilin married Yongding Gong. The third class Yongfuhou, the daughter of Yuan Hede, the right deputy inspector Yushiyuan Hede’s daughter Yuan Danzhu, married Qin Zhonghou. Qi Zhongshu, the fifth-rank householder, Diligence, conscientiousness, very much in line with my heart, I bestow upon him a third-class man from the founding county, with the title of Qinshen, three hundred households in the township, a four-rank guard with a sword, Qing Shi, the owner of Dongying Mansion, and Bu Shi, the concubine's maidservant."

We were all taken aback when we heard that, Duke Suiyuan and Marquis Yongfu were also present, their expressions changed.

This is an era when heroes are born in troubled times, but they are extremely superstitious about the theory of family status and aristocratic families. When making friends and getting married, the right family is the first priority.The emperor pointed out that these two families are all ministers of the third rank or above in the current dynasty, and are deeply favored by the emperor, especially the inspector censor Yuan Hede. The king often speaks bluntly about the impeachment of nobles, but today he refers to marriage but thinks otherwise—his daughter Yuan Danzhu has an average appearance and reputation, and is not well-known among noble women. Ruo Zhenbao was often worried that her honest daughter would be bullied when she got married, so she chose left and right, and delayed until Yuan Danzhuyi, which seemed a bit like a little leftover girl in that era.He originally thought that although his beloved daughter would be married to a warrior from a concubine family, she would be married to the emperor, and that Xie Suhui had made great military achievements and was granted a title. In other words, he can barely be regarded as a new rich man of the Yuan family, with a bright future.Jin Wang's family is also famous for being courteous and virtuous corporals, tolerant and tolerant, thinking that they will not suffer, so they can't help but slowly show joy.He seemed to think that he was forced to choose a side now, but the imperial concubine Jin and King Dongxian couldn't get along well, and he seemed to feel sad again.

Another Duke of Suiyuan, Chang Zaidao, belongs to the family of the Marquis. His ancestors used to serve as political advisors for the Xuanyuan clan. Unfortunately, his family fortune has declined. In this branch, only Chang Zaidao became the minister of the imperial servant temple, serving the emperor in and out, and taking charge of the whole country. Chariots and horses, although committed to the powerful center, have no real power, so they can only blindly flatter and cling to the powerful, and no one cares about them among the powerful. They have two sons and a daughter, both of whom are minor officials in the Ministry of Industry, and are well-known among their colleagues. Instead, she gave birth to a charming daughter, who was as famous as Qiao Qianchan, and she was the most beautiful among all the noble girls who were waiting to marry, but she was notoriously devoted to Ningkang County King.His mother, Mrs. Suiyuan, also often asks for marriage proposals in front of the queen and Jinhuang noble concubine, even if she is a concubine of the side county, she would not regret it. She never wants to be pointed out by the emperor today to Qiao Wan.Although Qiao Wan has a high title, he is a notorious dark man in the Xiying Mansion from the Yuan family, and he is also a servant of the imperial concubine.The imperial concubine is famous for her ruthless means, and this Qiao Wan ran back and forth for the imperial concubine when he was not out to fight. Half of the officials in this court have suffered from him, and he is notoriously rough and cruel. He is afraid and afraid, and there are many people who cling to him.

With such a noble son-in-law, but I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, so I have hidden worries.

I forcibly pressed down Qi Fang's hand and told him to think long-term, Qi Fang had no choice but to endure it.Fei Bai Qifang nodded slightly, and pulled him, Qingmei, and Suhui to thank him, "Thank you Lord Long En, I am very pleased."

"Your Majesty is really partial to King Jin." Jinxiu pouted slightly, "Look, this time, he didn't get anyone from Xifengyuan, but he got three new wives."

"You monkey is right, this time I am really partial to the third child," the emperor laughed loudly, and admitted loudly: "The Jin king has made great achievements this time, but he has not forgotten his family and country. All the things were handed back. Besides, didn't Aifei just worry about Mu Jin's illness? I see that his Xifeng Garden still has few servants, so don't we have to send more beauties to Xifeng Garden? Shi Qing accompanied Dou Ni Select ten beautiful and healthy people from the palace, fill them in Xifengyuan, and add more joy. Mujin will get better soon, and take the lead to let King Qing and the others spread branches and leaves for Xifengyuan, and add more people That's good."

Everyone also laughed.With a hint of embarrassment on my face, I bowed down to thank you.Xie Suhui and Qiao Wan also kowtowed to thank each other, and met with the future Lao Taishan in front of all the ministers.Qiao Wan forced a smile, and bowed to Chang.

Seeing Yuan He De from this side, Su Hui was very polite.Yuan Hede looked at Su Hui carefully for a long time, and Su Hui's face was red and black, black and red.The emperor made fun of a few more words, and everyone laughed even more, standing up to congratulate the four couples.Jinxiu called out the dance music in the arena, and everyone pushed cups and exchanged cups, and the cups were exchanged, and there was a sense of prosperity and joy.
