Chapter 384: proposal

Chapter 384 proposed

Xie Zhiwei raised his head abruptly, and looked at Xiao Changxuan. His smiling face, in Xie Zhiwei's view, was extremely hateful.

Xie Zhiwei firmly suppressed the urge to throw the wine glass in his hand at Xiao Changxuan, and was about to speak when Yuan Jia stood up, "Brother Sihuang, when it comes to marriage, it should be the duty of us princesses, and then It is the princess of the imperial family, and it is not yet the turn of Princess Duanxian!"

Xie Zhiwei was surprised, and looked at Yuan Jia in surprise. Yuan Jia happened to look over, and she couldn't hide the grief and indignation in her eyes, and she also suppressed her with her eyes, not allowing Xie Zhiwei to speak.

King Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile at this time, "Yuanjia, silly boy, what are you talking about about getting married? It hasn't reached the point yet. Even if you get married, it doesn't necessarily mean that the princess of Dayong will marry to Lou Kingdom. Well, since Lou Guo brought the princess here, he is naturally planning to keep the princess, this is the sincerity."

Of course Yuan Jia didn’t want to go to marry her, but she was even more unwilling to feel sorry for Weimei. Weimei had saved her mother and queen twice. At such a young age, how could she let Weimei go to Lou country to marry?

She didn't expect that the fourth brother would actually make such a request, which was beyond her imagination.

"This is a state matter, and the two countries need to discuss it in detail. Let's stop here today!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he got up and left, and Lu Yan followed behind him. The hem of the unicorn robe embroidered with red color crossed the high threshold and disappeared into the night.

Today's banquet was really a turnaround. I don't know if the peach blossom wine was too intoxicating. People on both sides didn't seem to suppress it, but exposed their ambitions.

The night is intoxicating, and there is a faint fragrance of flowers floating in the air. A round of light red crescent moon is inlaid in the black velvet night sky. Caressed on the shoulder.

Emperor Shoukang folded his hands behind his back, he couldn't bear it, he turned his head and asked Lu Yan, "Ah Yan, tell me, what's Lou Guo's idea?"

Lu Yan pondered for a while, with a slight smile in his soft voice, "I never thought about it, I was just curious. How could His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince be happy to see such an absurd and unrealistic request from Lou Guo?"

Which superior person would give up his pension year after year for a woman?

The emperor's heart skipped a beat, and a sentence from the queen suddenly sounded in his mind, "Even if the palace gave birth to a son-in-law, and the fourth prince has grown up, what's the problem with him?"

It has to be said that this sentence pierced a thorn in the emperor's heart from the very beginning, but at this time, the thorn became deeper and deeper, deep enough to make him vigilant.

Fortunately, the emperor is not very old and does not have a deep city, otherwise, he would not have proposed at the banquet today, but ordered others to help him speak out, the emperor sneered.

Sure enough, his sons all grew up.

Also stupid as a pig.

If it was him, the emperor could not help but think that, with the dignity of the prince, he would marry Xie Zhiwei, and with the importance the Xie family attached to Xie Zhiwei, he would definitely do his best to support the prince's son-in-law behind his back. Although Xie Tiao has kept a low profile these years, the four major families The old disciples of the old school are also scattered all over the government and the public, and they are intertwined, so why worry about nothing!

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but say, "Princess Duanxian has also reached the age of discussing marriage. Since ancient times, there have been hundreds of daughters in the family, and now Xie Tiao should have a headache."

A dark light flashed in Lu Yan's bewitching eyes, he raised his hand to pick up a peach branch full of peach blossoms for the emperor, and said, "I heard that Mr. Xie has an appointment with the Cui family, because the Feng family killed Cui Da. Madame, to express my apology, Mrs. Xie is willing to marry any daughter of the Xie family to the Cui family as a daughter-in-law, presumably the Cui family will choose Mrs. Xie."

The Cui family and the Xie family got married again? What are they up to?

The emperor was taken aback, but he didn't doubt Lu Yan's guess. Whoever it was, would choose the eldest daughter of a family. Those girls were carefully cultivated with all their efforts. The Cui family would only abandon Xie Zhiwei unless they were blind. And choose other.

"Does the fourth child know about this?" The emperor laughed loudly.

Lu Yan followed behind, respectfully said, "Prince Xiang also heard about it, and he is very anxious these days."

"I'm afraid after tonight, he will be even more anxious!" The emperor couldn't help but want to see his good brother, the bear like a dog biting a hedgehog and unable to bite.

Xie Tiao was also in a hurry, but right now, he had no choice but regretted not having settled Xie Zhiwei's marriage with the Cui family early, and after sending Xie Zhiwei and his brother back to the yard, Xie Tiao patted his calm granddaughter gently. On his shoulder, he comforted, "Some things are right to say, especially important matters related to the court. It has never been so easy to settle down. You can rest at ease, everything depends on your grandfather."

Xie Zhiwei was not in a hurry. Neither her grandfather nor her father would hand her over easily. After thanking her grandfather, she led her brother into the house.

Xie Mingxi was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. Xie Zhiwei asked the maids to help her wash up first. She sat alone in the east study, thinking about what happened today. Apart from lamenting Xiao Changxuan's stupidity, she didn't know what to say. Say what.

She also knows that the most urgent task right now is to settle the marriage as soon as possible, so that there is no room for comment. However, if it is about the Cui family, does she really want to marry her second cousin or third cousin?

In the previous life, both the second cousin and the third cousin had good marriages. The Cui family was defeated because of her. When Xiao Changxuan purged the Cui family, the two cousins ​​were valuable, but they never left each other. She didn't want to destroy this relationship. good marriage.

Bang bang bang!

Xie Zhiwei heard someone knocking on the window, she hurriedly raised her head, through the Qiang screen, she saw that it was Xiao Xun, hurriedly went to push the window open, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come?" Xiao Xun turned in very bluntly, and was about to speak, when he heard Xie Mingxi yelling "sister" aggrievedly outside, Xie Zhiwei went out after hearing it.

Xie Mingxi had been placed in the green gauze cupboard by Nanny Qiu, he closed his eyes, stretched out his hand, and called his sister pitifully.

Xie Zhiwei hurried over to hold his younger brother's hand, stuffed it under the quilt, sat down by the bed, patted him gently, asked Xuantao to cover the candles in the room, and said in a low voice, "Is my sister here?" , sleep well, we will go back tomorrow."

Xie Mingxi listened to his sister's words, and soon fell into a deep sleep. Xie Zhiwei waited for him to sleep soundly, then covered him with the quilt, and returned to the study.

Xiao Xun hadn't left yet, sitting on the piano stool, staring at the bookcase in a daze, when he heard the movement, he raised his head and watched Xie Zhiwei sit down on the stool in front of the desk.

"Mae Mae, I have a proposal, do you want to hear it?"

Xie Zhiwei knew that what he was talking about was about today’s dinner, and she was worried that she had no idea, she couldn’t sit still and let the emperor really send her to Lou country, so she nodded, “Say it!”

The second update!
