Chapter 172 Xiao Linye proposes marriage, your family has a throne to inherit(1/2)
After the words came, the ministers who were about to hand over the memorials to ask Xiao Linye to fill the harem and proposed that the emperor arrange the draft bench be like a basin of cold water being poured down by someone, which wiped out all their ambitions and desires, and their hearts were completely cold.
How could this emperor be so unreasonable? It was too sudden to decide things and didn't even have time to give them reactions.
The ministers smelled the stolen interests and immediately exploded and knelt down one after another, "Emperor, the matter of establishing the queen is not a trivial matter. Please think twice."
Without even a talent show, Xu Muqing decided to be a wife and become the queen of the mother's world. What does their daughter have to do for such a long time?
Especially Zhang Lilei and the ministers standing in the same camp were as disgusting as if they had swallowed a fly. They absolutely did not want to see Xu Muqing kicking Zhang Mingxi, stepping up step by step, and crawling directly into the palace.
"Your Majesty, Xu Muqing had an engagement with someone else. Her character was flawed. In addition, she had a bad temper and would smash her previous fiancé to the point of bleeding. Such a woman is really hard to become a role model for women all over the world."
Zhang Lilei felt uncomfortable, and he felt like he had been stabbed by a needle. It was obvious that this woman should be his daughter-in-law. She was dismissed from the engagement and not only did she not have a bad reputation, but she fell in love with the emperor. She was in love with him. Why did God love to joke with him so much?
Mr. Chen, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, also wanted to stuff his daughter into the palace to be the queen. Since Liu Shitong terminated the engagement, Mr. Chen’s daughter has been called the most. Whether it is appearance, talent, or family background, she wants to marry the emperor’s best.
He thought that through the talent show, his daughter would definitely be selected as the queen, and even if she was not good, she would be selected as the imperial concubine. As a result, Xu Muqing was killed halfway through, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
"Yes, the emperor, Xu Muqing cured the emperor's illness and saved the emperor's life. He did make great contributions. However, the emperor could not give any rewards to such a contribution, but the emperor promised him with his body, such rewards would be too much and not worth the emperor's life."
Other officials continued to echo the emperor and fanned the flames, "Emperor, General Xu holds great power, and a queen is in the harem, so the consequences are unimaginable. The deposed Empress Dowager is the best example. The tyrannical power of the foreign relatives is unimaginable."
Xiao Linye's eyes were covered with a layer of cold frost, but anger surged in his heart. It was obvious that these ministers who had no ability and could only rely on selling their daughters to fight for profits were jealous of others, but they still wanted to say these high-sounding words in front of him.
It looks ugly when he licked his face carefully calculatingly. He was poisoned by Xiao Lie before and was framed in the crisis-ridden East Palace. He had to endure it at that time, but it did not mean that he had no temper.
He sneered and started to retort without hesitation, "I declare that this matter is not to seek your opinion. I know better than you who General Xu is and what kind of person his daughter is. I will marry the queen and enter the palace next month. Don't waste your verbal words, it will be useless to object."
He was too lazy to talk to these ministers who were only jealous and incompetent, and he said firmly.
"Please think twice. Xu Muqing has a violent temper and a narrow mind, and has no tolerance. It is definitely not a good thing for Liang Guo to become the queen."
More importantly, Xu Muqing is a miraculous doctor, with her superb medical skills and her ability to use poison. Even if their daughter later entered the harem through the talent show, she was suppressed by her, and she could not even give birth to a child.
At this moment, the ministers deeply felt the terror of the emperor. His move was so cruel that he caught them off guard without any effort.
Xu Muqing is very good at means and has a deep mind. With her as the queen, even if the concubines are very good at means, they cannot make any storm.
In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are nothingness, not to mention that Xu Muqing is trusted and respected by the emperor and the empress dowager, and they are step by step at the most difficult and dangerous times.
What's more, Xu Muqing also has a family with a prominent family. Her father is General Weiyuan and the unstoppable god of war in Liang State. It is difficult for those women to bully her in the harem, even seek a place.
The more they recognized the situation, the more they put their hearts into not letting Xu Muqing become the queen, otherwise what benefits would they want to get in the future?
The ministers who wanted to stuff their daughter into the harem were so jealous that they were almost crazy, and they hated themselves so much that they wanted to slap them loudly. Why do they treat them like this?
Why were they so snobbish at the beginning? Why didn’t they share a small part of their minds on the prince? Otherwise, they wouldn’t be as difficult as they are now. Even though they were jealous and jealous, Xu Muqing was about to die, she wished that her daughter was the lucky woman who was fallen in love with by the emperor at first sight, but she could only hold it back and racked her brains to think about the excuse to stop the emperor’s wedding.
Xiao Linye was full of momentum, "It's my business to marry me, what does it have to do with you? You are really very generous. You should go back and take care of your wives and concubines in the backyard. No matter how nice it is, it's because I'm not your daughter. If it's your daughter, I'm afraid I'd be happy already."
Those ministers who had hidden their little thoughts were criticized by the emperor, their faces turned blue and purple, and they were ashamed to find a hole to crawl into it.
It’s really fate. Why do other people’s daughters have such good vision, and they don’t dislike a sick person at all, and follow him loyally, but they don’t have such a good vision?
Zhang Lilei was a little reluctant. After Xu Muqing kicked his son away, she was directly attracted by the emperor and became the queen of the mother's world, and she was still very popular with the emperor.
However, the emperor decided that Xu Muqing would be determined. If he opposed the slap in the face and angered the emperor with tough measures, the consequences would be more than worth it. He softened his attitude and tried to use another method of persuasion. "Your Majesty, it is an extraordinary thing for the emperor to marry and establish a queen. You must always make preparations in all aspects. If you rashly propose marriage, the time will be set for next month, which is too hasty."
"Why would you like to ask the people from the Imperial Heavenly Prison to check the Geng Tie to see if the birth date and horoscope are in line, and choose a day. The emperor's wedding is a very grand thing. There must be no mistakes in terms of etiquette and various details. One month is really too fast."
The solution he wanted to take now was to drag it out, and he would first use all kinds of trivial matters to drag it out. After that, even the emperor lost his patience, and the matter was left in vain.
Zhang Lilei had a good plan in his heart, but he didn't know that Xiao Linye had already hated him completely and was trying to attack him with sharpening his knife.
"The Prime Minister doesn't have to worry. I have already seen the abbot of Huguo Temple and the Principal Qing'an from Baiyun Temple. They all said it's okay. My birth date and horoscope are very suitable, and it's a perfect match for heaven."
"As for the marriage is too hasty, the Prime Minister is worried that he is not prepared enough, so there is no need. Long before the emperor passed away, I had decided to marry Xu Muqing, betrothal gifts, items and things that need to be prepared for marriage. From then on, I started to build furniture, prepare silk, satin, jewelry, and clothes, and not in a hurry at all."
Xiao Linye looked at Zhang Lilei's frustrated and reluctant expression with satisfaction, and a faint feeling surged in his heart, "I and the Empress Dowager both think that next month's 16th is a good time. It's better to marry and prepare for the grand ceremony of the queen."
After he talked about the major marriage, the momentum of the king's world was revealed again, "This is the first time I have married in more than 20 years, and it is the only time in my life. I hope that I will not touch my bad luck with my eyesight, which makes me unhappy. There are people in Liang State who want to be an official, whether it is a noble family or a royal relative, I don't care about it. Offending Xu Muqing is offending me, you can do it."
This was a blatant threat. The ministers were like a sharp and cold sword pressing on their necks. No matter how much dissatisfied they felt in their hearts, they were timid at this moment. No matter how much they wanted to get benefits, they still had to have their lives to enjoy it.
This emperor is even more erotic than the previous emperor and is not easy to mess with. Now the most important department of the entire country is his confidant officials. Some ministers have been plotted by insects from the South Vietnamese Kingdom and have not recovered yet.
However, there were still ministers who were unwilling to let their daughter go to the palace to ruin her concubine's road. They said carefully, "Then, what's going on in the draft?"
There is already someone who chooses the queen, and the four concubines and nine concubines, and those nobles. Can they ask their daughter to fight for it?
Xiao Linye ignored the little plans in their hearts and directly showed an unfathomable smile, "Do you guys want your daughter to participate in the talent show? Since I talk about my marriage, I will just say everything here clearly."
"I don't plan to take concubines through the draft. Even if there is a draft in the palace in the future, I will be selected from the people to become a palace maid. Of course, if all the ministers really want their daughter to come to the palace to serve their master, I have no objection and welcome you."
These words were more like a bolt from the blue, hitting the heads of ministers with ulterior motives, making them shaking, their whole body was in disarray, and the blood on their faces disappeared.
"The emperor means to marry only the queen and not accept the concubine?" How can this be done? Then how can they achieve nothing in political achievements? How can they rise to the top in the future?
The ministers were so angry that they were almost crazy, and they were also scared to the point of being crazy. "Your Majesty, you must not. There is only the queen in the harem, which does not conform to the ancestral system and rules. If the emperor wants to leave the six palaces vacant, he will become a sinner of the royal family."
When Xiao Linye heard these ministers' words, he felt extremely disgusted, "Whoever I want will naturally let her enter the palace. What does it have to do with the talent show? If you really want to ask for a good marriage for your daughter, I will naturally satisfy your wishes."
"Mr. Chen, your daughter is amazing and loves a family of scholars. Mr. Zhang is also knowledgeable and talented. He is the most talented couple. It is better to have a conflict between Miss Chen and Mr. Zhang as a matchmaker and let them get married tonight."
"Mr. Li, you like a man with iron-blooded swords and swords. Then I will give your daughter to General Yang. Are you satisfied with this?"
The emperor was so vicious that the ministers were no match for him, and their faces were flushed, "Your Majesty, you must not be able to do anything. The adults have their own wives at home. Is it not appropriate to give them a marriage?"
Xiao Linye said bluntly, "It's not appropriate to be a concubine when he enters the palace to be a concubine when he is a concubine? Why? What, do you all want to give your daughter to me as your wife, so that there are dozens of queens in the harem?"
"No one can change the matter of marrying Xu Muqing as his wife. Don't worry about quarrels. If you have something to say, you will leave the court without any trouble."
When he came, the ministers were beaten and lost their strength to do things.
Xiao Linye saw that there was nothing important, so he was too lazy to tell them again, "Then let's go and leave."
He also wanted to go to Xu Yirong's house to propose marriage, just like a couple from the folk, who followed the words of the matchmaker, wrote three books and six rituals, and gave her enough respect to make Mu Qing feel that he attached and was serious about this marriage.
Liu Shitong heard about the whole thing from her father, and admired her domineering senior brother very much. She was so excited that she directly prepared a carriage and went to Xu Muqing's house.
"Sister Mu Qing, the emperor had a quarrel with the ministers in the morning court today. Have you heard of the fact that he insisted on marrying you as a wife? The emperor really loves you, and you will definitely live a happy life."
She was well-informed and naturally learned the detailed content from Fenghua's conscientious spies. She was naturally moved and happy. There was a shimmering brilliance in her eyes, "I didn't expect him to announce it so directly."
Liu Shitong was happier than she wanted to get married, and proudly stuck her waist, "The emperor has always been a person who dares to act and behaves. Since he has you in his heart, he naturally wants to marry you. Sister Mu Qing, you are so good. You will never give up on him when your senior brother's life is about to be gone. No one is more qualified to stand by your senior brother's side than you. I sincerely wish you happiness and a long life together here."
While Xu Muqing felt happy, a strong worry arose in her heart. If her father knew that Xiao Linye had not communicated with him and announced that he would be his wife, he would probably feel sour and unhappy again.
"Shitong, thank you for your willingness to fulfill my wish and the emperor. I'm sorry, I haven't told you the details before, after all, I really can't say some things."
The cheerful and atmospheric girl waved her hands, not caring at all, and wouldn't take it to heart.
"What are you sorry, Sister Mu Qing, you are so disgusting. The emperor and you are in love with you, but I just treat the emperor as my senior brother. The situation was dangerous and difficult at that time. If you reveal the news, you will be able to cause a catastrophe."
"You and the emperor hide things well and keep them well, otherwise many people will want the life of their senior brother. I will not blame you at all. You are a man and a beautiful woman. You are a couple made of heaven and earth, and they are in love with each other, so you should be together the most."
She is not the kind of superficial woman who is clear-headed, has a clear mind, is confused by the glory and wealth when she sees the world.
Just because she was obsessed with the rat poison and was desperate, she lost the qualification to marry her senior brother. She herself had no desire for the emperor, so she could not have any envy and jealousy for Xu Muqing to marry Xiao Linye, become the wife, and become the queen of the world.
Xu Muqing said sincerely, "Shitong, I also wish you to find the happiness you want as soon as possible."
The two of them were talking, and not long after, the housekeeper took Bai Wei and ran in from outside excitedly, so excited that he was incoherent, "Miss, the emperor sent a matchmaker to the general's mansion to say he had kissed him, and brought a lot of betrothal gifts. Miss, please go over and take a look."
Xu Muqing was surprised and surprised, "The Emperor is here too?"
Her vanity was greatly satisfied. Xiao Linye is now the emperor, but she is still willing to come to her house to propose marriage, giving her parents and her great face.
"Yes, Miss, come over quickly."
Liu Shitong looked at Xu Muqing enviously. Her joy that emanated from the inside out was the happy expression that was loved and thoughtful of by others. She couldn't help but urged, "Sister Muqing, go and meet the emperor quickly. I will go and see you and your senior brother until the 16th next month. At that time, I can only call you the Queen."
Her heart was full of expectations. She didn't care about being reserved, and she picked up her skirt and ran quickly towards the living room.
In the living room, Xu Yirong, Yang Yaoguang, Xu Zhiyuan, and his sister Xu Muyan were all sitting there. When Xu Muqing ran in, Xiao Linye's gaze fell on her with longing eyes, even in front of her family, without any concealment.
"Mu Qing, come here."
When Xu Yirong saw that his beloved eldest daughter was all her thoughts on Xiao Linye, she suddenly felt a strong reluctance. If possible, he really didn't want her to leave him and his wife and stay with them all the time, so that her daughter could live a carefree life.
"General Xu, I am sincere to Mu Qing. I have never changed my mind all the hard way. I believe that she will spoil her and love her for the rest of my life. I ask the general to betroth Mu Qing to me as my wife. I will give her supreme honor and the only and most complete relationship, and will never let Mu Qing be sad, disappointed, and suffer."
The supreme emperor of a country has put his attitude so low. In addition, how could Xu Yirong not be touched by what Xiao Linye did to his daughter over the past year?
"The emperor respects the little girl, and is naturally the supreme honor of the little girl. I am not the one who can break up the couple. In this way, as long as Mu Qing is willing, I will never object."
Xu Yirong said this, but he knew in his heart that the marriage between Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing must be accomplished and cannot be pushed open no matter how hard he pushed it.
My daughter loved Xiao Linye for so long, and she disobeyed the couple's wishes again and again. Maybe this was destined to fate, so why did he make the emperor unhappy and make Mu Qing sad?
Those who know the times are heroes, and his eldest daughter is destined to be the queen's fate.
"Thank you General Xu for your accomplishment." Xiao Linye's handsome face showed a heartfelt smile, diluting his majesty and giving him a cold and noble temperament.
He walked to his beloved girl and asked very seriously, "Mu Qing, I've been happy with you for a long time. I wonder if you are willing to marry me and become my wife. Let's smile and watch the clouds roll and roll, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the courtyard, hold your hands and grow old together?"
She was obviously happy and happy, but her heart was sore and swollen. Tears of happiness couldn't help but overflowed from the corners of her eyes. She wanted to say she was willing, but she felt like a thorn stuck in her throat, which made her speechless.
Seeing her crying and laughing, Mu Yan was so nervous that she couldn't help but clench her fists, which was even more nervous than being confessed to her by someone to propose marriage. She whispered, "Sister, please agree quickly. Why are you still standing there if you don't agree to such a good husband?"
If the emperor regrets and refuses to marry her sister, where can she go to cry?
Xu Muqing was urging by her sister, and she calmed down for a long time before she swallowed her tears back. Her lips were trembling and she said softly, "I do."
Xiao Linye's tense body finally relaxed and smiled with relief, "I will never let you down in my life. I will definitely listen to you, put you first in everything, don't mess with flowers, don't make you sad, and you will make you happy and comfortable. I will do what I say."
