Chapter 39 Shengqian's Marriage
A few days after Zhou Huaiyi moved back to Enron Garden with her. Zhou Huaiyi was busy with his overall situation during the day. Wei Fuyan was idle to sew wedding clothes for his sister. At night, Wei Fuyan went to bed early, but Zhou Huaiyi came back late. Although he would definitely hug her to sleep no matter how late he came back, the two had not talked face to face for several days.
Zhou Huaiyi still does not explain the house arrest, but according to Qiyun, Luodu has been full of events recently, and it is harmless for Wei Fuyan to stay in the royal palace. On the one hand, the red flower incident a few days ago disturbed the people in the court, and the relationship between the courtiers gradually began to change delicately. King Tuo and King Huai stood up this time. King Tuo had no chance to take action at all, and Zhou Huaiyi was famous for benevolence and righteousness among the people of Luodu. Old Prince Ping was also dragged into the water this time. Although King Ping has always been indifferent and doesn't care about this kind of thing, those who put the treasure on King Ping have begun to feel uneasy.
On the other hand, Sheng Qian's wedding has come and should not come. Princess Jingyu of Yueguo, known as "the first beauty in the world", has come to Luodu. Their Chen Kingdom is Fan Fangtong, the son-in-law of Princess Shengyang, that is also Wei Fuyan's best friend Yi Dielan when she was a child.
When he heard Fan Fangtong's name, Wei Fuyan was cutting branches for a pomegranate, clicked, and his hands were steady without a trace of trembling. Fan Fangtong and Yi Dielan, these names are not real in retrospect, and all seem to exist only in dreams.
Zhou Huaiyi came back very early this day. Wei Fuyan was watering the only plum tree in the garden and stopped when she heard the footsteps - that was not the sound of Qiyun's footsteps, and Qiyun was the only person she could see in Anran Garden these days.
And if she remembers correctly, this is the day when Princess Chai invited Princess Jingyu.
"When this faint vermilion plum blossoms, the matter in Luodu City will probably be settled. Shall we go back to the city with our master to have a look?"
Although the master is not very old, his heart is old. Although she and Zhou Huaiyi are at peace, they treat the master the same. Not to mention that Wei Fuyan has now recognized Hua as his adoptive father. From master and apprentice to father and daughter, the feelings between each other are only deeper.
It's just that Wei Fuyan also remembered another question. She never remembered when she ordered the gardener to grow plums, let alone the name of faint cinnabar. Did Zhou Huaiyi order it?
But where did "together" come from? So Wei Fuyan avoided answering his question and asked directly, "How was the banquet of Concubine Chai today?"
She made up her mind to leave, but Zhou Huaiyi didn't want to quarrel with her anymore. So he sat down at the stone table in the garden and said, "Princess Jingyu didn't go. Concubine Chai was very embarrassed, but someone relieved her, so it was just a little embarrassing. There was no damage to Concubine Chai."
Half of the noble concubine Chai and King Tuo may be the future emperor and empress dowager. It is not surprising that someone relieved her, so Wei Fuyan just nodded, but Zhou Huaiyi stared at her for a long time and asked, "You also know the person who relieves the circle for Chai Guifei, Fan Fang Tong of the State of Chen."
Wei Fuyan is coming, but it's just strange to hear this. Fan Fangtong is a ceremonial official and has always been the most measured. At present, the situation between King Tuo of Li and King Huai is not clear. It is reasonable that Chen should never openly show goodwill to King Tuo at this time. Did the "God" really choose King Tuo?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Brother Fang Tong came from an official and eunuch family and has been a ceremonial official for several generations, so he knows best what to say and do when he is an envoy. Then he will only speak for the emperor to speak for Guifei Chai.
Wei Fuyan wanted to sit down, but Zhou Huaiyi said lightly, "The blue stone is too cool. Let Qiyun add a cushion."
Qiyun was coming to bring tea and quickly nodded back to pick it up when she heard this.
He always thinks about everything and never ignores the confusion of others, but Wei Fuyan doesn't want to say more, but just quietly waits for Qiyun to come back.
Zhou Huaiyi looked at the butterfly orchid blooming in the garden and suddenly asked, "Do you like that Fan Fangtong very much?"
Wei Fu pondered for a little and said, "Yes."
"What do you like about him?"
Zhou Huaiyi's tone was calm, and his eyes fell on Phalaenopsis from beginning to end. Wei Fuyan stood beside him through a stone table, and his eyes fell on him. For a long time, Wei Fuyan looked away and said, "I like him spoils me."
This was frank, but Zhou Huaiyi understood it, but smiled and said, "I'm very tired of hearing you say such a thing. Fortunately, I'm glad to see your brother Fang Tong today. If I hadn't seen him, I couldn't be sure about another thing.
Wei Fuyan probably guessed what he was going to say, and only heard Zhou Huaiyi say with a faint smile: "You will never go with Cixuhou, because he is too much like Fan Fangtong. You are afraid of confusing the feelings of the two people, so you would rather give up together than let go."
Wei Fuyan smiled and did not answer.
"I'd rather have a tragic truth than a false gentleness. You are the one who suffers by yourself."
Zhou Huaiyi's words were plain, and he couldn't hear whether he despised or agreed with Wei Fuyan between his words. There was a slight pity in his eyes when he saw her.
Wei Fuyan dodged his eyes, and Zhou Huaiyi also felt that there was no need to say much about this matter, so he turned to ask, "You pretend to be sick at Chai Guifei's banquet, so what about Sheng Qian's wedding? Do you want to go and have a look?"
Qiyun put down the thick cushion and helped Wei Fuyan sit down. Wei Fuyan thought for a long time before asking, "If you can take me out, does it mean that the reason for my house arrest does not exist at the beginning?"
Zhou Huaiyi helped her pour a cup of tea and said, "It's still there, so even if you go out, you can only stay by my side."
He still didn't make it clear. Wei Fuyan didn't ask much, but just said, "Be moreware of Sheng Qian's poisoning last time. King Tuo knows that there are Dr. Hu and Dr. Ji in your house, but they are just poisoned. I always feel uneasy.
Zhou Huaiyi looked at her and smiled and said, "I want to go together."
Knowing that he had made arrangements, Wei Fuyan just nodded. Sheng Qian and Yuer are too simple and stupid, but Wei Fuyan is trying his best to protect them and make them not to be smart all their lives. It's rare to be confused. Don't pretend to be confused. It's also happiness to be really confused.
On the third day of May, Sheng Qian got married. As soon as the ninth prince's mansion was completed, he felt more or less fresh wood and paint. Wei Fuyan and Zhou Huaiyi felt uneasy as soon as they entered the house. They always felt that the smell was restless. They looked at each other at the same time. There was nothing wrong with each other, but they were a little more cautious after gently nodding to each other.
The threshold of the newly completed mansion is about to be broken. King Tuo and King Huai compete. If King Huai wins the overall situation, he is very likely to ascend to the throne. At that time, Sheng Qian, the ninth prince of Huaiwang's favorite, will be above 10,000 people under one person. Even if the situation is not clear now, who dares to bet that there will be such a day?
Zhou Huaiyi went to see Sheng Qian with her. Sheng Qian seemed to be unhappy and was losing his temper at the people.
"What's going on again?" Zhou Huaiyi looked at Sheng Qian and asked, "Why don't you even change your clothes?" Crying and screaming to get married, what are you doing now?"
Wei Fuyan didn't know that Sheng Qian and Yuer were deadlocked very early. However, their brothers are very similar, and they all regret it when it comes to their eyes.
"Brother, I--" Sheng Qian said, but after saying two words, he timidly glanced at Wei Fuyan and lowered his head in a panic and said, "I didn't make trouble. It was Hui Mingyu who was making trouble!"
Don't you call it "Yuer"? Wei Fuyan came forward and picked up the wedding clothes on the ground and went to Sheng Qian's side and asked, "Ninth prince, no matter how can you make trouble, can you take marriage as a play? Are you sure you won't marry Yuer?"
"I--" Sheng Qian hurriedly opened his mouth, but stopped again, just looking straight at Zhou Huaiyi.
Wei Fuyan looked at Zhou Huaiyi confusedly, but saw Sheng Qian suddenly step forward and said to Zhou Huaiyi, "Brother, it must not be the fourth sister-in-law who poisoned, definitely not! The fourth sister-in-law makes medicine for me every day and tries her best. It must not be her!"
Is it for this? Zhou Huaiyi just frowned and looked at Sheng Qian and didn't say anything. Sheng Qian was more anxious for a moment. Wei Fuyan calculated that it was not early and persuaded him with a smile, "That's a misunderstanding, otherwise how can I stand here and talk to the ninth prince!"
Sheng Qian looked at the two of them in surprise. He was simple and had a little partial to Zhou Huaiyi and Wei Fuyan, so he quickly smiled and said, "I said, I must not be the fourth sister-in-law!"
Wei Fuyan handed over the wedding clothes and said, "Then change your clothes. Yuer is waiting!"
