(1/2)
I said, "Then, Lord Wu was ordered to come over, what's wrong?"
Wu Yanqiu smiled and said, "I am here to come to Jinling on the order of the emperor to send you posts."
"Posses?"
I was stunned when I heard this, and couldn't help but wonder. Even though Pei Yuanhao was in Yangzhou these days, he took care of all the affairs of every matter, how could a minister of the Ministry of Rites do such a post?
Unless that post-
I was about to ask, but before I could speak, the Han sisters who followed me in, were stunned for a moment when they heard this. Han Zitong immediately asked, "What post?"
Wu Yanqiu smiled and reached out, and the entourage standing behind him immediately presented a stack of red posts. He also presented them to us respectfully and said with a smile: "Of course it's a wedding invitation."
Wedding invitation?
I just felt my chest sink suddenly: "Whose wedding invitation?"
Wu Yanqiu said word by word: "The Emperor's sister, Princess Anguo, and Minister of Revenue, and Lord Liu, the prefect of Yangzhou, are the wedding invitations."
...
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire front hall became quiet.
And I stood there and lost consciousness for a moment.
What did he say?
A wedding invitation?
Princess Anguo...?Mr. Liu, the prefect of Yangzhou...?Wedding invitation?
them--
I suddenly raised my head, feeling my breathing suffocated. I couldn't say anything for a moment. I just looked at Wu Yanqiu holding a big red wedding invitation in his hand, like a ball of flame burning in front of me, making people feel a burning pain in his eyes. I didn't move, Wu Yanqiu looked up at me, and sent the post to me again, as if he had said something, but my ears were buzzing and I couldn't hear anything. When I saw him handing the post over, I subconsciously reached out to catch it.
It seemed like I had got a piece of charcoal with flames.
The feeling of burning and painful made me suddenly wake up from my confusion and insanity. I subconsciously raised my head and looked at Pei Yuanxiu who was sitting in front of me and kept silently staring at me. His eyes were pitch black, like a bottomless deep pool, with no light, and no ups and downs. It was just so quiet, but I don’t know how many undercurrents were surging below.
I took a deep breath and pinched the wedding invitation to my fingertips.
The ears finally regained their hearing, but just listening to the sound of their speech, it seemed to be coming from a very far place, but every word was so clearly pierced into my heart-
"The eldest princess's wedding is a major event for the people of Jiangnan to congratulate you. I'd like to ask my wife to come."
I looked down at the beautiful red wedding invitation, and after a while, I smiled: "It's indeed a big deal."
“…”
"The people congratulate each other."
“…”
"A great joy."
I raised my head and smiled and said, "I will definitely arrive."
When I finished saying this, Han Zitong and Han Ruoshi behind me were both stunned for a moment and looked at me in surprise.
When I met them, I came to my senses. As the force in Jinling, I am Pei Yuanxiu's wife. I should be very cautious about whether to accept this wedding invitation and attend the wedding event between the eldest princess and the prefect of Yangzhou. But I just blurted out that I had already agreed to Wu Yanqiu.
For a moment, I was also at a loss.
At this moment, Pei Yuanxiu got up and walked towards us. I turned to him, his eyes seemed a little confused and at a loss. At this time, he reached out and held my somewhat cold hand. I also felt that his palm was warm, and even a little hot, which made me tremble for a moment.
He smiled and said, "It's indeed a big happy event. But, sending wedding invitations is a trivial matter. Why do you ask Lord Wu to come here in person?"
Wu Yanqiu smiled and said, "His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to the eldest princess's marriage, and even mentioned that it would be great if you can invite you to attend this wedding, so I will come here to have a trip."
"So, thank you for your hard work."
"I dare not speak of my hardship."
As we spoke, we walked over and Pei Yuanxiu pulled me to sit beside him. Although Han Zitong's eyes were like blades, he could only help her sister to walk to the other side and sat down facing Wu Yanqiu.
After Pei Yuanxiu sat down, he turned to look at me and smiled and said, "Is it okay?"
I was a little dazed, but I still looked at him and made a smile: "I'm fine."
He nodded.
When I looked up, I saw Wu Yanqiu looking at us, and his eyes seemed to be searching for something. Pei Yuanxiu, like just now, put a hand on the table and smiled faintly: "My sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and later she experienced drastic changes. If I were to say that I was the least worried about it, it was her. Finally, Yuanzhen also had a lifelong entrust, but it had fulfilled my thoughts."
When he said "experienced great changes", I clearly saw Wu Yanqiu's eyes flashing, but when he heard what he said behind him, he didn't seem to have any other consciousness, so he smiled and said, "The young master's words are exactly the same as the emperor's words. Whenever His Majesty the Emperor talks to the Empress about the marriage of the eldest princess, he is worried."
"Oh?" Pei Yuanxiu smiled and said, "What did he say?"
"His Majesty the Emperor said - people often say that the emperor's daughter does not have to worry about marrying, but they do not know that the Tian family also has difficulties with the Tian family. The emperor's daughter does not have to worry about marrying, but the emperor's sister is the most worried about marrying."
"Indeed, there are not many people who dare to be his brother-in-law."
After hearing this, Wu Yanqiu laughed twice and did not answer.
"Mr. Liu, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Wu Yanqiu hesitated for a moment, looked at Pei Yuanxiu and said with a smile: "What kind of virtue is the subordinate? How dare you evaluate the eldest princess's son-in-law?"
Pei Yuanxiu smiled faintly and said, "I'm not asking you to evaluate him either. I just want to know how you view him."
"this--"
This was actually a bit embarrassing for Wu Yanqiu. He pondered for a long time, and the smiley expression on his face gradually became restrained. After a while, he raised his head and said to Pei Yuanxiu: "If the young master said that there are not many people in the world who dare to be the brother-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor, then I think, Lord Liu, probably the only one."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Pei Yuanxiu raised his eyebrows slightly and subconsciously glanced at Wu Yanqiu.
And Wu Yanqiu smiled calmly.
He said this in a very vague way, but when he thought about it, it seemed that he had already said it.
If there is another person in the world who dares to marry Pei Yuanzhen, who has such a special status, only Liu Qinghan.
If there is one person in the world who dares to stay by the emperor with such a subtle identity, he is Liu Qinghan.
Since he entered the officialdom, he has been wandering on the edge of power and life and death, as if he was walking alone on a thin thread on a cliff. If he was not careful, he would fall to the bottom of the valley and fall to pieces.
And now, only Liu Qinghan can still be safe and sound.
Pei Yuanxiu seemed to have thought about it and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu said this in a shallow way, but it was said thoroughly. I had a conversation with him before in Wangjiangting, and later in Xichuan. After experiencing various changes of all kinds, this person is not afraid of danger, but not afraid of changes. He is a figure like a Dinghai Sword Needle. If anyone can marry my princess and be her prince consort, it is probably only this Lord Liu."
Wu Yanqiu smiled and nodded. He said yes.
"I just hope that he can be a good man and become the prince consort." As he said that, Pei Yuanxiu turned his head to look at me and smiled and said, "Qingying, do you think so?"
I smiled softly: "Yes."
He looked at me, just smiled, sat there quietly, and nodded slightly at him.
I felt his eyes pause when he looked at me, as if he wanted to find something from my face and my eyes, but no matter how I looked, I was just faint, and I didn't even say a word, and I couldn't see anything. He looked at me again and turned his head.
I sat there firmly, and several servants came up to serve tea for me, Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong. I picked it up and took a sip. But I didn't notice that the tea was too hot, so I didn't pay attention. I swallowed it in a big mouthful, but I didn't know where to drink it.
Pei Yuanxiu was still chatting with Wu Yanqiu, talking about this marriage that everyone in the world was very concerned about. He suddenly asked, "I don't know which day the happy event will be."
These things should be written in the wedding invitation, but his wedding invitation was placed on the table, next to the cup of hot tea. Just now, his hands were placed on the table, and his sleeves just blocked the wedding invitation. Seeing this, Wu Yanqiu didn't say much, but replied in a formal manner: "Three days later."
"Three days later? So soon?"
"It's not too fast to say that." Wu Yanqiu smiled and said, "The emperor has been asking the eldest princess and Lord Liu for several years, but the eldest princess has been filial to the filial piety period, so the marriage has been postponed to this day."
At this time, the Han sisters who had been sitting quietly aside and silently looked at each other. Han Zitong said with a complicated expression on her face: "However, I heard that the eldest princess is still observing the mourning period?"
"yes."
"Then she-"
Before she could finish her words, Wu Yanqiu said with a smile: "Even if officials are filial to their worries, there is still a time to lose their love. What's more, the eldest princess is filial to her mother and misses major events in her life. Wouldn't it make the Empress Shuyuan feel at ease in the underworld? This is the great unfilial piety for children."
This set of rhetoric is of course the best explanation for the emperor's love. Although it can be seen that Han Zitong disagrees, she did not pick any more.
Pei Yuanxiu asked, "So, are all big and small matters ready for the wedding?"
"These days, the emperor stayed in Yangzhou, and he was busy with the princess's wedding, and everything was prepared in all aspects."
...
I sat in the chair, listening to their conversation calmly, and my eyes slowly looked at the wedding invitation in my hand.
It's a bit dazzling.
turn out to be……
It turns out that Pei Yuanhao has been staying in Yangzhou these days, not just to reunite with Miaoyan, nor is he not completely worried about his safety, but because of the marriage between Liu Qinghan and Pei Yuanzhen!
Originally, the princess got married and a high-ranking official married, and it was not the emperor that the emperor had to be present, but Pei Yuanzhen was different. This eldest princess was the sister of Prince Yun Pei Yuanchen who was eliminated by him in the battle for the throne. People in the world, especially the southerners, had complaints about his ascension to the throne. In addition, his brothers were gone and died, and they were even more infamous for the tragedy. Therefore, the only princess who is still in the royal family, her safety fell in the eyes of the world. Everyone was staring at him to see how he treated this only brother. It was also in this situation that he was particularly favored and even tolerant of Pei Yuanzhen. Pei Yuanzhen's marriage was not only the face of the royal family, but also an article he made for everyone in the world!
No wonder, no wonder Yangzhou has been so quiet these days.
No wonder that when I was on the boat that day, when I asked Wen Fengxi about Liu Qinghan's injuries, he only replied to me - "It will not affect the serious business."
So that's such a serious matter...
I see!
As for Liu Qinghan—
