Chapter 31 Marriage by Emperor Ming
"I miss my brother." My fingers gently stroked the cat's eye stones and beads given to me by Yan Yingchen, and I lowered my eyes and said.
"It turns out that she is still a little girl who has not grown up." Che sat next to me and tapped the tip of my nose. The beige robe sleeves swayed slightly, which was indescribably handsome.
"You know what I'm worried about." I simply lay on the stone table and looked at him lazily.
"Hmm." Che made an inaudible voice from his nose, affirming my words.
"How is he?"
"He left Liangcheng with Nangong Li."
"That's not good. I don't know if he still has the hibiscus jade hairpin on him." I muttered to myself, with my fingers wrapped around the drooping hair.
"Would you like to ask what I have done in the past few days?" Che suddenly changed his relaxed tone and looked at me with bright lazy eyes.
"You are busy with business, so why should I ask?" I thought about my brother, and what I said was a little stiff.
"I haven't visited you, don't you angry?"
"I'm not angry." When asked by Che, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and the words he said inevitably became indifferent.
"I'm going to ask for a marriage order." Che glanced at me and said lightly.
"Oh? For this matter in a few days?"
"Hmm." In the face of my hard tone, Che was not angry, and the clouds answered lightly, so that I couldn't bear to twist any more.
"Did the emperor agree?"
"My father agreed, but the emperor of the Northern War was really angry."
"His Princess Yunxi can't get married. How can she not be angry?"
"Although I didn't marry, Princess Yunxi still married."
"Oh?" I looked at Che with great interest and wondered who the princess of the Northern War had married.
"My second brother, Lin Fengjing."
"Is it the emperor's will?"
"It means that the second brother is also the father."
Listening to Che's words, I laughed indifferently. Che really lost a strong backing. Marrying me, a girl with no family background and no background, has slowed others down. I don't know if Che told Emperor Ming my identity, the crown princess who escaped from marriage in Nanyuan. Oh, this title is really annoying.
"Why did you start to be stunned again?"
"What did you exchange for?"
"Hmm?"
"How can the emperor promise you my marriage if you have no exchange?"
"What do you guess?" Che smiled and did not deny my guess.
I pondered for a moment and said, "The military power."
"It's worthy of being my future princess. I can guess it." Che stroked his palm and smiled, as if talking about other things, "I handed over the mobilization power of the tiger charm and Xuanyiwei in my hand."
"What?" I was a little shocked. Handing over the tiger charm means that Che now has no military power. If he hands over Xuanyiwei's mobilization power, Che is equivalent to having no right arm. Isn't he struggling in the future?
"Che, is it worth it for me?" My tone softened, and my eyes were as gentle as water, looking sadly at this man who gave up almost everything for me.
Che smiled and said, "You are the woman who I have devoted all over the world to life and death, not to mention the military power in this area?" Hearing his words, I smiled cleverly. With such a big tone and the military power that everyone coveted, he actually used the word "only" and this domineering spirit was beyond the reach of others.
"Marry me, and you won't pay for it in vain." My eyes flowed, looked at Che, and said lightly, and my tone was also firm that could not be ignored.
"I'm afraid that Lin Fengche is the only one who dares to marry such a conceited woman." He tapped his finger on the table, and his face was full of pride.
"Less smelly beauty. You said that the tiger charm has been handed over, and the right to transfer Xuan Yiwei has also been handed over. What are you going to do next?
"What do you think?"
I laughed and said, "With what I know about you, you will never do anything uncertain. So you at least have figured it out before you ask for an order, right? I looked sideways at Che, with an expression of no doubt, and motioned me to go down.
"With the strategy of Emperor Ming, the real military power must be in his own hands. As for where the tiger charm is, it doesn't matter. You are just doing this to reassure Emperor Ming, right? As for Xuanyiwei's mobilization power, this is the dark guard you cultivated by yourself, and the three words of mobilization power inevitably seem a little empty. As a dead man, they are only loyal to your master. What I don't understand is why Emperor Ming used this as an exchange for you?
Che hummed softly and said, "My father can see through this matter, but you can see through it, but others may not see through it. On the other hand, my father doesn't care who I marry. What he wants to see is who wants to marry Princess Yunxi.
"The Ming Emperor still favors you."
"Maybe it's just because the third brother left early, and the eldest brother and the second brother are too ridiculous." Speaking of the third prince Lin Fengyu, a trace of sadness flashed on his face. I sighed gently. In the past, I heard my brother mention that after returning to Linsheng after Che's proton life, he only made friends with Lin Fengyu, but Lin Fengyu died in a war with other countries. Lin Fengyu is the favorite son of Emperor Ming. Although he has not been established as a prince, the court has acquiesced to this matter.
After Lin Fengyu's death, Emperor Ming was always unable to relieve the pain of losing his son, and his sick body became weaker. Emperor Ming had only five sons. In addition to Che and Lin Fengyu, there were also the eldest prince Lin Fengyun, the second prince Lin Fengjing and the fifth prince Lin Fengzhi. Without Lin Fengyu, it seemed difficult for Emperor Ming to choose a very good one from several sons, so the position of the crown prince has always been vacant. After returning to Linsheng, his talent and courage were gradually recognized by the Ming Emperor. Although he was not loved by the Ming Emperor as much as Lin Fengyu, the relationship between father and son has always been very delicate.
Over the years, many wars in Linsheng have led troops, so that his reputation in the army is not as good as that of the other three princes. And Che can have today's status, and it can't be said that there is no acquiescence of Emperor Ming. Emperor Ming is also a shrewd person. He will never let his country and society be bad in the hands of anyone. He wants to choose the most suitable person to take his place.
Emperor Ming's health is less than a year, but he has never established a prince, and his attitude towards several sons is not salty. In such a situation, the princes are even more brotherly, and the waves are surging in the dark. Lin Fengyun, Lin Fengjing and Che are all crowned princes, and now they all have their own mansions outside the palace. Lin Fengzhi was still young and only lived in the palace as a prince, and because of his young age, he was protected from the struggle by his mother and concubine.
And in this brotherly struggle, Che is always a person. Lin Fengjing and Lin Fengyun united to deal with him, but they have never taken any advantage.
"It's late at night, go back." Che stood up and put a coat on me.
"Hmm." I took Che's hand and stood up from the stone bench.
Che took my hand and walked slowly on the way back to the Mingxiang Pavilion, asking softly, "Does the wound still hurt?"
"I've taken medicine these days, and it's much better." After saying this, the two fell silent, but they did not feel embarrassed. On the contrary, this calm made me feel intoxicated.
When I arrived at the door of Mingxiang Pavilion, I stopped and said to Che, "I'll go in by myself."
"Hmm. Go to bed early." After saying that, Che took a deep look at me and turned away.
When I entered the Mingxiang Pavilion, Ziqin and Huaishu waited for me downstairs. I rushed them to sleep, and then walked back to my room little by little, took off my coat and lay down in **.
I held the quilt, and my heart was sour and distressed. The fatigue on his face, I can see that I know his hard work for our marriage. When it comes to Lin Fengyu, the loneliness between his eyebrows is that I can't fill my brotherhood. Perhaps if Lin Fengyu was alive, Che would not compete for this position again.
My marriage with Che is now a certainty and unchangeable. And I was not as panicked as I thought. Instead, there was a trace of expectation and a trace of comfort...
The next day, as expected, I received the imperial edict and ordered me to enter the palace two days later and marry King Che a month later. After receiving the imperial edict, I thanked the grace and smiled at the corners of my mouth. This marriage was too urgent.
Che returned to the royal palace early this morning and sat with me in the room of Mingxiang Pavilion to taste tea.
"Che, I'm a little nervous." I took a sip of tea and looked at Che and said.
"Oh? What's going on?"
"The holy thing of entering the palace."
"Don't worry if I'm by your side."
"I'm a daughter-in-law after all. I'm worried about not being liked. How can you understand this feeling?"
He laughed loudly after listening to my words and said, "I didn't expect you to worry about this. I heard that you once performed in Nanzheng Palace, named Nangong Xian to play the ensemble, and was calm under the majesty of the royal family.
I looked up at Che and said leisurely, "After all, it's different from the past. Who told me to marry into Linfeng's family?"
"This doesn't seem to come from you." Che raised his eyebrows and looked at me.
"Who can't have the feelings of a little girl?"
Che looked at my face more seriously and said softly, "This kind of you are more regrettable."
After listening to this, I got goose bumps and blushed like a monkey's buttocks. I quickly pushed away and shouted, "My meat is numb."
Che sat up straight with a triumphant smile on his face, and then I knew that I had been fooled again. So he squeezed his mouth and ignored him, picked up the cup and drank tea.
"I'll send you something when your hand is ready in a couple of days." When Che saw that I ignored him, he came over to talk to me again.
"What?" I raised my eyebrows, didn't look at him, and asked faintly.
"You will know then." I smile and no longer ask questions. It's good to keep the feeling of surprise.
"Che, I want to ask you a question." I put down the teacup in my hand and said seriously.
"Say it."
"Will there really be a war?"
"It's still difficult to conclude." Che didn't look at me. I don't know if he thought about it or something. He always felt that he was hiding something.
"Why is our marriage arranged so urgently?"
"Just because there is an auspicious day next month, that's it."
"Doesn't these two things matter?"
"Xinyi, you think too much." Che turned his head and looked at me firmly. There was nothing in it that puzzled me.
I smiled relievedly, took his hand and said, "Come with me outside."
