Tang He's words were like the most powerful artillery on the Ming Dynasty battlefield.
The whole hall was filled with silence.
Everyone made silent eye contact.
Those present were all the left-behind officials in Zhongdu or the veterans of Huaiyou who had served as Emperor Hongwu when he started his career. Who didn't know that in addition to the eldest granddaughter Tang Queqing, there were many people in Duke Xinguo's family who were the same age as the emperor's grandson.
However, Duke Xin only mentioned his eldest granddaughter Tang Queqing, and also mentioned that it was His Majesty's decision to have Tang Queqing accompany his grandson.
This is undoubtedly saying that His Majesty intends to make Tang Queqing the grandson-in-law of the world!
Tang He seemed to have really drunk too much at this moment. His eyes were clear just a moment ago, but now he was completely drunk and leaning back on the chair.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes kept scanning the dining room, and finally he looked at Xin Guogong Tang He who was murmuring in a low voice.
Only then did he realize that the old man's real purpose during his time in Fengyang was to ask him to bring a wife home and bring back his granddaughter-in-law for his old man.
From the beginning, the old man and Xin Guogong Tang Hetong were angry about this matter.
In fact, Zhu Yunxi boldly imagined that the old man started planning this matter when he was renamed the Prince of Huaiyou County.
If he changes his title to Huaiyou, he will come to the county no matter what.
But coming back this time was just a matter of the old man pretending to be haunted by evil spirits to push things along.
I was betrayed by the old man from the beginning!
"My dear, you must have drunk too much!"
"That being the case, it's not inconvenient for us to bother you. The Department of Left-behind Affairs in Zhongdu still has many matters to attend to."
"Your Highness, I will take my leave first."
Before Zhu Yunxi could react, the Zhongdu officials at the table had already reacted and hurriedly stood up to say goodbye.
Over there, the officials accompanying him out of Beijing also showed some sincerity, and they all got up and made excuses to follow the officials from the Central Capital Remaining Department to the inn.
Zhu Yunxi glanced over, and finally looked at Tie Xuan, who was also leaving the Xinguo Duke's mansion.
Tie Xuan shrugged, cupped his hands, gave him a helpless look, and was about to run away.
Zhu Yunxi became anxious and glared.
Tie Xuan couldn't help but whisper softly, and watched his colleagues around him leave one by one. He could only stand in place with his hands tangled together.
Until all the officials in Tang Mansion left.
Tanghe, who had been leaning on the chair, seemed to have sobered up, shook his head and opened his eyes.
"Huh?"
"Why did these people leave so fast today?"
"It must be because I dislike me. I can't drink them anymore..."
As he spoke, Tang He ignored Zhu Yunxi and his eldest granddaughter Tang Queqing who were still at the scene. He waved to the countless aunts who had joined Duke Tang's mansion to help him and walked to the backyard.
Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand helplessly: "Grandpa Tang..."
Tang He seemed to be really drunk, leaning on his countless aunts, and could not hear Zhu Yunxi's shouts at all.
Just when Zhu Yunxi didn't know what to do and looked at Tang Queqing, who was leaning sideways, he let out a low cry, stamped his feet and left angrily.
"Tie Xuan, old man, what do you mean?"
Tie Xuan, who had been arrested as a young man, looked blankly at the banquet in the main hall of the Tang family that was empty in an instant. He said with a helpless smile: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has probably agreed on your marriage with the old man... …”
Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and patted his thigh helplessly.
Today, Tang He came out of the blue, how could he not know what the other party meant.
This is to spread the word through the officials present.
As for how the old man settled this matter with Tang He, Zhu Yunxi didn't know.
He had no illusions about freedom from the beginning of his marriage.
But he didn't expect that the old man would actually appoint the girl from the Tang family to him.
Even the Mu family, who is far away in Yunnan, is more likely to be killed by the Tang family.
Tie Xuan looked at the silent Zhu Yunxi, and couldn't help but whisper: "Your Highness, in fact, it is not a bad thing for you to marry the Tang family. Although Duke Xin Guo ignores court affairs now, in those days he mostly served as Xu Xu in the army. The prince’s lieutenant…”
"But for so many years, apart from the Mu family in Yunnan, the only truly caring people who have followed His Majesty are the Tang family."
Zhu Yunxi frowned and said hesitantly: "Then tell me, why can't it be the Xu family or the Chang family?"
Tie Xuan hesitated for a moment and stared at Zhu Yunxi, trying to see whether the county prince was really asking him or taking a test.
He whispered: "The Xu family currently has no girls of the right age, even if there is... the Xu family is also married to King Yan..."
"As for the Chang family, that is your maternal uncle's family..."
Don’t allow your relatives to dominate your family!
This is what Tie Hyun wants to say.
Zhu Yunxi nodded, he agreed with this reason.
Now in the court, the Xu family and the Chang family are two real princes and generals, but that's exactly what they are. These two families have almost the highest honor, and they will not be easily added or deleted without major events.
As for the Mu family in Yunnan.
Literally, too far. The Mu family also does not need the old man to use marriage to win over each other.
After several rounds of calculations, only the Tang family was the most suitable.
Similarly, although Tang He did not work in the court these years, he only stayed in Fengyang all day long, having fun with the bunch of women he photographed countless times.
However, the old foundation of Xin Guogong's family in the military is not shallow.
Does the old man want Xin Guogong and his family to be brought under his command to balance others?
To balance the Chang family and Liang Guogong?
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was still thinking, Tie Xuan saw the opportunity and said, "Your Highness, if nothing happens, I will go to the inn..."
As he spoke, without waiting for Zhu Yunxi to speak, Tie Xuan picked up his official robe, bent down, and watched Zhu Yunxi continuously retreating while twirling his hands and feet.
Zhu Yunxi didn't react until Tie Xuan disappeared without a trace.
He slapped his thigh sharply.
"This guy is really hateful!"
He cursed fiercely outside the Tang Mansion. Looking at the Tang Mansion with only maids around, Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to stand up and lead Sun Cheng who was waiting outside, and asked the maid to lead the way to rest.
The Tang Mansion was built with the permission of the imperial court and had more of a Jiangnan style.
When passing through halls and courtyards, Zhu Yunxi is always surrounded by pavilions, waterside pavilions and pavilions.
They were led all the way by the Tang family's maid.
After Zhu Yunxi passed through the boss's garden, an exquisite small building appeared in front of him.
"Your Highness, this is where you will stay and rest."
As she spoke, the maid gave up her seat, watched Zhu Yunxi walk towards the courtyard, and then left quietly.
With some curiosity, Zhu Yunxi walked around the screen wall behind the courtyard door, just as he was about to enjoy the beautifully trimmed and cultivated landscape in the other courtyard.
Unexpectedly, a head emerged from the flower bed behind the screen wall.
"Are you my future wife?"
"You are my future husband."
