Concubine Xian was very moved by Rong Fei's hospitality. She raised her hand and patted the back of Rong Fei's hand.
"You are the only family member I have in this world. Whether it is for your mother or for my face, your marriage must not be ambiguous. I can understand what you just said, but you must also understand me. The only hope for an old man of my age is not to be able to watch his children bloom and have a family full of descendants."
"Auntie, it's my fault that I didn't explain it clearly and you misunderstood me. You should be beaten."
Rong Fei lightly slapped himself on the face and explained with a smile.
"After all, getting married is a major event in life, and it still needs to be done. But because of the special circumstances this time, we have to find a way. Sister Rou and I will cook the raw rice and cooked rice first. After I come back from Linzhou, we will follow the instructions. The procedures that the Queen’s sister-in-law mentioned just now have to be re-done. What do you think?”
"this…"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian felt that there seemed to be some truth in it, and her originally firm attitude could not help but loosen a little.
"And with care, I will be more cautious and cherish my life, and I won't do random things, right?"
Rong Fei continued to speak eloquently.
"But…"
"Besides, Marquis Jingyuan is going to the southern border to suppress bandits. Although the God of War is out, one can defeat two, and it is certain that he will return with a great victory. But there will always be some damage on the battlefield, and it is not good for the soldiers to bleed on the front line. Damn, I’m having a big wedding banquet in Kyoto, that’s not good. So it’s more appropriate to wait until Marquis Jingyuan returns victoriously before holding the wedding ceremony. It’s also a double happiness, don’t you think so, auntie.”
"Hey, I really like your words. Okay, let's do as you say."
Hearing Rong Fei mention Chang Gaoyuan, a strange color flashed in the corner of Concubine Xian's eyes, and she sighed after thinking for a long time.
"Hehehe, my aunt is wise."
Rong Fei suddenly squeezed even more vigorously.
"Yu'er."
Concubine Xian called out to the house.
"Mother."
Tang Youer opened the door curtain and came in. After calling out, she looked at Concubine Xian, her eyes full of questions.
"Tell someone to prepare a table of better food and wine, and our family will celebrate the young couple first."
"Mother!"
Tang Youer understood the meaning of Concubine Xian's words, and suddenly became anxious, stamping her feet and calling out again.
"Well, young people have their own ideas, let them go."
"What? Getting married! Today?"
After hearing the report from the little chamberlain sent by Princess Xian, Zhu Yueyao's face suddenly turned pale, her eyes were blank, and her body was swaying slightly, as if she was about to faint.
"Princess, you..."
"Go away, don't touch me."
Upon seeing this, the little chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was frightened away by Zhu Yueyao's sudden hysterical shouting.
How could it be...how could it be...so fast...
The yell just now seemed to drain away all the strength from Zhu Yueyao's body, and she staggered and collapsed on the bed.
As a princess, it is impossible for someone to be a concubine.
After today, the identity of Ji Rouer's real wife will be confirmed, so doesn't he not even have the slightest chance?
"Getting married? Today? Nonsense!"
"The concubine has already agreed. I am going to invite your majesty to the Nuanfeng Pavilion for a wedding banquet."
"Mother, she...oh, I know."
Zhu Sheng originally wanted to say that Concubine Xian was confused, but as a son, there was no reason to criticize his mother, so he suppressed the words as soon as they came to his lips.
With a helpless sigh, he waved his hand towards Hou San, the head attendant of Nuanfeng Pavilion who came to report the news.
"Old slave, please retire."
Hou San bowed and left. Zhu Sheng stood in front of the imperial case, frowning and thinking for a long time, and then called the chamberlain to change his clothes and prepare to go to the Nuanfeng Pavilion for the banquet.
Concubine Xian has always been simple. The so-called better food and drinks are just four meat and vegetables plus two bowls of soup. In addition, Concubine Xian’s own rice wine and freshly squeezed melon juice are also available. The dishes are not as rich as those of wealthy people. .
Zhu Sheng, Tang Youer, and Zhu Yun are a family of three.
The concubine, mother and daughter Zhu Leyao, the newlywed couple Rong Fei and Ji Rou'er, plus the King of Qi Zhu Yan, a total of eight people sat around the round table like ordinary people, eating and chatting happily.
Rather than saying it is a wedding banquet, it is better to say it is a family banquet.
During the dinner, Zhu Sheng did not have the airs of an emperor at all. From time to time, he whispered to Rong Fei and laughed knowingly.
"If you two brothers are so happy to talk about anything, just say it and let everyone listen."
Queen Tang Youer asked curiously.
"It is not suitable for women and children to listen to topics discussed between men."
Zhu Sheng shook his head, and after saying that, he gave Rong Fei a look that only a man could understand.
"The child heard it. The father was telling his uncle how to have a son."
Zhu Yun didn't have time to swallow the food in his mouth, so he slurred his words while chewing.
"Not serious!"
Tang You'er spat when he heard this, and patted Zhu Sheng angrily.
"Hahaha, getting a wife, having children, and passing on the family business are the most important things in life. How come this is not serious. My cousin's future achievements are limitless. I have to give birth to a son earlier and establish him as the legitimate eldest son. As an uncle, I can't wait to give him to him. It’s a great gift, and Yoona and Laoba can also have an extra playmate.”
Zhu Sheng gently stroked his son's head and laughed.
"What Xiaoliu is saying is that although you haven't officially gotten married yet, your identity has been decided, so you should hurry up. It's better to have a baby sooner rather than later. If you have a baby as early as possible, I can also comfort the eldest sister who is under the nine springs as soon as possible."
Concubine Xian helped.
"Oh oh oh, I'm going to have a younger brother, and he's not the youngest at last. If my uncle doesn't tell me nice stories from now on, I'll spank my younger brother, huh!"
Zhu Yun cheered.
"Hahahaha, this kid."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Zhu Leyao, who had never spoken, forced a smile, but Tang Youer saw her stiff expression.
Zhu Leyao, who has a lively temperament, is a little strangely quiet today, and it seems that she has never opened her eyes to look at Rong Fei from beginning to end.
Looking at Rong Fei, whose eyes were also deliberately avoiding Zhu Leyao, Tang Youer seemed to have guessed something.
No way!
Tang Youer muttered secretly in his heart.
After dinner, Rong Fei chatted with Concubine Xian for a while, and left on the pretext that he had some friends to entertain in the evening.
After Rong Fei and Ji Rou'er left, Zhu Sheng winked at Tang You'er, who immediately understood and called Zhu Leyao, who was distracted, and Zhu Yun and Zhu Yan, who were studying how to repair their little brother in the future, to go out together.
"Mother, what do you think Rong Fei wants to do?"
"Whether he does something or not, as long as he hasn't done it yet, with his current reputation, it's hard to say anything."
Concubine Xian also frowned and sighed.
"well!"
Zhu Sheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The matter of Rong Fei Jin being granted the title of Great Confucian was that Zhu Sheng worked with Huang Liangyi and others behind the scenes. The purpose was to seize the literary spirit of Shushan and establish the orthodox status of Confucianism in Kyoto City.
Now that the original goal has been achieved, it has caused greater trouble to Zhu Sheng.
Why do you want to rob Shushan of its literary spirit? Why the rush to establish the orthodox status of Confucianism in Kyoto City?
Just because this was an extremely critical link in Zhu Sheng's plan, there were other candidates for the title of Great Confucian in Jin Dynasty this time, and there were more than one candidates.
However, those few candidates either had unsatisfactory conduct, lacked intellectual foundation, or were too ugly and unsightly, so Zhu Sheng and Huang Liangyi decided to rely on quantity to win.
If you push several people together, maybe one of them will succeed.
Later, Rong Fei wrote thirty-five peerless poems and a story about Yueyang Tower in Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower, which shocked the entire literary world. Huang Liangyi climbed over the wall overnight and entered the palace to discuss with Zhu Sheng. The selection has been temporarily changed.
In Zhu Sheng's plan, seizing the literary spirit of Shushan and establishing the orthodox status of Confucianism in Kyoto was only the first step.
The second step is for Jingyuan Hou Chang Gaoyuan to suppress the bandits in the southern border.
The suppression of bandits in the southern border is actually just the appetizer of the second step, and the real meal is yet to come.
One first and one last, one civil and one military, are enough to reveal Zhu Sheng's ambition.
So this is still just the tip of the iceberg of Zhu Sheng's overall plan.
But now the first step has just been completed successfully, but something went wrong in the second step.
Chang Gaoyuan is almost forty years old this year. His original wife died of illness a few years ago. He has been leading troops to guard Xuanhuang Pass in these years, but there has been no renewal. He only has one heir, Chang Huaien.
If there is anything wrong with Chang Huaien, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Chang Gaoyuan.
Chang Huaien deserves to die and Li Wentai deserves to die, but the two of them cannot die.
One is Chang Gaoyuan's only son, and the other is the brother of his deceased wife. Something that happens to either of them will affect Chang Gaoyuan's mood and state, and have a huge impact on Zhu Sheng's next plan.
Kerongfei is also important.
Zhu Sheng is in trouble!
Dilemma.
And now there is a very important issue. Zhu Sheng knows that Chang Huaien and Li Wentai are responsible for the affairs of Qingzhou Yingying prostitutes, and Chang Gaoyuan does not know about it.
But Rong Fei doesn’t know!
Rong Fei speculated through clues that the missing persons case in Kyoto was related to the Qingzhou Battalion, and Chang Gaoyuan was the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou Battalion. So in Rong Fei's view, Chang Gaoyuan must be the culprit.
If so, then Rong Fei would attack Chang Gaoyuan!
Thinking of this, Zhu Sheng suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
It is said that a child is better than a mother. Concubine Xian guessed Zhu Sheng's worries at a glance and patted his hand.
"Don't worry, Rong Fei didn't seem to say anything when he entered the palace today, but in fact he also expressed his attitude. He has a sense of proportion and will not make the situation unsolvable."
"How to say?"
Zhu Sheng asked quickly.
"In a few days, Rong Fei will go to Linzhou with the two boys from Qiankun Temple and Jiange, but he didn't say that Ji Rou'er will accompany him, so Ji Rou'er will definitely stay in Kyoto."
"Proton?"
"It's not a proton, I'm just asking for your peace of mind. After all, Marquis Jingyuan is an important minister in the military, and the only one who can touch him is you, the emperor. There is no evidence to prove that Marquis Jingyuan is related to the missing persons case in Kyoto. If Rong Fei is interested in Marquis Jingyuan, If you take action, you will be punished without committing a crime, and you will become the enemy of the military and Dayan's sinner. Even if he is your cousin, even if he has the status of a great scholar, and even if Yu Qingzhi protects him, it will be useless.
As long as Dayan's millions of troops cannot accommodate him, there will no longer be a place for him in Dayan. At that time, there will only be the Northern Demon Clan or the Four Ultimate Holy Lands to go to. If that was the case, he should find a way to send Ji Rouer out of Kyoto, instead of rushing to get married and confirm the relationship and leaving her in Kyoto. "
