Chapter 64: Personal appointment
Anguo Gongfu
Early in the morning, Tianxiangyuan
The bright sunshine illuminates Tianxiangyuan.
There is a bamboo forest in the front, a plum tree in the back, and a small pavilion in the center.
The open space in front of the small pavilion is a small martial arts training ground.
Xiao Ruoling was dressed in a lake green outfit, showing off her graceful figure. She was practicing her boxing slowly and leisurely. Her boxing skills were light and elegant, like dancing.
The two little maids stood aside and watched, with enchanted expressions on their faces.
Even though they were women, they were fascinated by her grace, she was so beautiful.
Not only is she beautiful, her movements are also extremely graceful, and every move contains amazing charm.
Xiao Ruoling suddenly turned her head and glanced, her bright eyes flashing.
The two little maids turned around alertly, slid towards the courtyard door, and disappeared behind the screen wall.
"Big sister! Big sister!"
A clear voice came from outside, but it was Xiao Ruoyu who came outside.
"Come in." Xiao Ruoling said.
Xiao Ruoyu, accompanied by two little maids, hurriedly turned around the screen wall and came to Xiao Ruoling: "Sister, something bad is going on."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Ruoling took the white towel handed by a little maid and wiped the sweat on her forehead.
Her mutton-fat white jade-like face was flushed, and she was extremely beautiful. The black eyes of her long and narrow phoenix eyes were particularly bright, and the whites of her eyes were particularly clear.
"Da Zongzheng actually came to the house in person to ask for your hand in marriage on behalf of the Crown Prince of Prince Qing."
"Da Zongzheng?"
"Sister——!" Xiao Ruoyu said hurriedly: "Shouldn't you care about Prince Qing's marriage proposal?!"
"Dazongzheng is not something that ordinary princes can invite." Xiao Ruoling shook her head gently: "You..."
"Sister, do you really want to agree?" Xiao Ruoyu said dissatisfied: "Do you really want to marry into Prince Qing's Mansion?"
Xiao Ruoling smiled lightly, her face shining.
The two little maids also stared with wide almond eyes.
"Sister——!" Xiao Ruoyu shouted: "Think twice, this is a lifelong matter, you can't be confused!"
"When did I get confused?" Xiao Ruoling laughed.
Xiao Ruoyu said hurriedly: "It is said that some women are smart all their lives, but become confused when they meet men. The smarter the woman, the more so. Then Prince Qing is not worthy of you, eldest sister!"
"You..." Xiao Ruoling smiled and shook her head.
She knew that in the eyes of her brother, no man was worthy of her.
Xiao Ruoyu said: "How about marrying into the Prince of England's palace?"
"It's not like you don't know that the Prince of England is already engaged."
"You can be a side concubine." Xiao Ruoyu said: "Even the side concubine of the Crown Prince of England is better than the main concubine of the Crown Prince of Prince Qing!"
Xiao Ruoling said: "The eldest son of Prince Qing is now a member of the Ministry of Rites, and the eldest son of King Ying is still in the Mingwu Palace."
"That's just because he is older and takes the first step."
"Do you remember when dad asked someone to go to Prince Qing's Mansion?"
"...don't remember."
"The eldest son of Prince Qing's Mansion came first in the Winter Hunting, and directly achieved the ninth level of skill." Xiao Ruoling shook his head: "This is the first time, and none of the eldest sons in the past have been able to achieve it."
"Good luck."
"Winter hunting..." Xiao Ruoling laughed: "With luck, I can only escape with my whole body. I can't kill twenty monsters. My brother, you were blinded and couldn't clearly see the power of Prince Qing." ”
"...Is it really that powerful?" Xiao Ruoyu hesitated.
He has always admired Xiao Ruoling, believed in her words and listened to her.
After hearing Xiao Ruoling say that Chu Zhiyuan was powerful, she tried her best to put aside her own emotions and feelings.
"If Prince Qing is the first among all the princes, do you think it would be aggrieved for me to marry him?"
"This..." Xiao Ruoyu hesitated.
If Prince Qing is really the number one among the princes, it means he is expected to inherit the throne.
The throne of Dajing is chosen by the emperor's sword.
It's not about who is good and who inherits, but who becomes a great master.
The next step after becoming a Grandmaster is to choose the master of the Emperor's Sword.
During the process of choosing the master of the Emperor's Sword, anyone who has ever harmed other princes and princes, or committed fratricide will not be recognized as the master.
The human heart can be deceived, but the emperor's sword cannot.
Therefore, the battle for the throne of Prince Da Jing is not based on conspiracy, but on dignified cultivation and realm.
If you are number one among the princes, you are expected to become the emperor. Of course, for the achievements of a grand master, qualifications are only one aspect, and you also need to have enough luck and opportunities.
But with such qualifications, even if he could not become an emperor, he would still be in a high and powerful position.
After all, the emperor trusts his family the most. Xiao Ruoling said: "Now many people know the details of Prince Qing's son. The situation in Prince Qing's Mansion is different now. It is only because of the thirty-year sealing of the Mansion that each family is holding back."
It is still deserted now because the governments are concerned about the emperor's attitude.
After all, no matter how powerful the prince of Prince Qing's palace is, it will only be a matter of the future. If he offends the emperor now, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Xiao Ruoyu hummed: "Sister, so if we can marry him, we should still get a big deal?"
"Father and Prince Qing have the same temperament," Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips and said with a smile, "It's for my own good that that's why."
My father and Prince Qing have been playmates since they were young. They grew up together and have a deep friendship, and they also know the princess well.
Letting herself marry into Prince Qing's Mansion was ultimately for her own happiness.
After entering Prince Qing's Mansion, at least the parents-in-law are good. As for the husband, with his own beauty and skills, there is no need to worry about not being able to charm him.
Others did not dare to get close to Prince Qing's Mansion, but Duke Anguo's Mansion was not afraid.
The Holy Family is not that important to Duke Anguo now.
My father works in the Qingshui Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and my younger brother practices martial arts at home when he is young. He has not yet gone out, and has not asked the emperor for anything in the past ten years.
More than ten years later, the Crown Prince Qing had risen to prominence, and he was no longer afraid that his younger brother would be wronged again.
She had already figured this out, so she didn't resist marrying into Prince Qing's palace.
After meeting Chu Zhiyuan, he became less resistant.
He has a handsome appearance and pure and calm eyes. According to his father, the prince also behaves steadily and peacefully in the Ministry of Rites. He is very popular with him and can be regarded as a good man.
……
"Alas——!" Xiao Ruoyu was dejected.
I accept it intellectually, but I still feel dissatisfied in my heart.
"Xiaohu, you have to grow up quickly and take care of your father's worries." Xiao Ruoling touched his head: "Don't let me worry about it anymore."
"Sister——!" Xiao Ruoyu shook his head and shook off her beautiful hand, saying dissatisfied: "I don't need you to worry about me!"
"Then why were you lazy yesterday? Did you practice for two hours?"
"...I'm not in trouble."
“Is it too much to read?”
"...I was fascinated by it as soon as I saw it, and forgot the time."
"Xiaoyuan reminded you, but you scolded me."
"...I said to wait a little longer, but she was so long-winded that she annoyed me and just said a few words. She didn't mean to."
Xiao Ruoling snorted and said: "You don't know what is good and what is good. Girls like Xiaoyuan are rare. Don't let others feel cold."
"I know, I know." Xiao Ruoyu said hurriedly: "It's already coaxed."
Xiao Ruoling said: "You know the rules."
"Oh... ok, let's practice for four hours today."
"If you continue to gossip here, you won't have enough practice for four hours today."
"I'll just leave." Xiao Ruoyu left unwillingly.
——
When Chu Zhiyuan returned home at night, he was quite surprised when he heard Bai Ningshuang tell what happened.
I thought that if I couldn't get my wish, I would be stuck by the emperor.
As a result, the emperor was not stuck.
As expected, the emperor's heart is unpredictable.
The emperor is not interested in this marriage. Even if he wins, does he not have to marry the princess of Dazhen? Or does he want the princess of Dazhen to become his concubine?
This is the first time that Chu Qingyan, the great master, has personally acted as a matchmaker.
Da Zongzheng acted swiftly and went directly to Jian Zheng of Qin Tian Jian, and they got married on the same day.
Bai Ningshuang was more neat. They got married in the morning, and in the afternoon sent wild geese, tea, two boxes of jewelry, four boxes of silk and brocade clothes, a box of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, a box of ancient books, several jars of fine wine, and some pastries and fruits to the Anguo Palace. ,etc.
So the marriage between the two families was settled.
It wouldn't have been so fast if Da Zongzheng hadn't taken action in person.
For ordinary people or ordinary rich people, these two steps may only take two or three months. For a powerful family such as a prince's palace or a prince's palace, it will take half a year to a year. They have to entertain relatives and friends, pay homage to ancestors, and go to their ancestral residences. The process of offering sacrifices to the land is extremely complicated.
Bai Ningshuang was able to recruit Da Zongzheng, and she acted quickly, which was beyond Chu Zhiyuan's expectations, as if she was afraid that Chu Zhiyuan would regret it.
This is exactly what Chu Zhiyuan meant.
After these two steps are completed, it means that the marriage has been completely decided, and there is no need to worry about the rest. The two families can just choose a date to get married.
It will be on the shelves at 7 o'clock tomorrow. Please subscribe.
