Chapter 117 Marriage
Author: pear wine
A glimmer of light flashed across Song Lanshu's beautiful eyes. She was silent for a few moments before slowly smiling: "Who wouldn't want to see this magnificent scene in the world?"
Lan Xi became happy and invited her to join her and Liu Shuhuan's secret team.
"Since we want to see it, let's go see it. It's only been a few years since we were teenagers. What a pity we missed it when we should have played. The worst we can do is hold hands and go for a walk around the outside, so we don't have to worry about being crowded out.
.”
Song Lanshu was still hesitant, but Lan Xi did not allow her to hesitate any longer and made the decision for her.
"That's it, it's settled. On the day of the Lantern Festival, we will find an excuse to sneak back to the room after dinner. Huanhuan will come to pick us up, and she will take care of the accompanying guards. We just need to bring ourselves with us.
.”
Song Lanshu was already a little tempted, and with Lan Xi's encouragement, he finally agreed half-heartedly.
However, she still didn't agree with the few people's plan to sneak away privately.
"Don't mention sneaking around. I'll explain this matter to my mother. As long as you stay calm, and with me and my eldest brother here, nothing will happen."
Song Lanshu was resolute and refused to change his mind no matter what Lan Xi said.
Helpless, Lan Xi could only wait with a high heart for her second sister to convince her parents.
Fortunately, the second sister is not a person who talks nonsense. She said that she would persuade Liu Yunyao and Song Qinnian to agree.
When Song Lanshu told Lan Xi the good news, the latter couldn't believe it.
"You've done it? Isn't it too quick and easy?"
She thought that her mother would at least pull her, the person behind the scenes, to ask questions, and there would be a long period of pestering to go. Unexpectedly, only the next day, the second sister told her that her parents had agreed.
.
"It's so unfair. If I were to talk about this, my mother would definitely refuse without even bothering to raise her eyelids."
Lan Xi was right. It was precisely because her second daughter Song Lanshu was so reassuring that Liu Yunyao relaxed easily with her assurance. If it were her naughty third son and youngest daughter, Liu Yunyao would definitely not agree easily.
.
Song Lanshu knew the ingenuity of this and couldn't help laughing.
Although the double standards of parents are partial to themselves, it is indeed unfair to the younger sisters. However, it is only their fault that they themselves are too troublesome on weekdays and cannot blame their parents for being biased.
"Forget it, once things are done well, it won't have much impact on anything else." Lan Xi said generously and didn't care.
"Don't forget to tell Huan'er about this. We went there openly, so there is no need to secretly come to meet you." Song Lanshu joked.
Lan Xi agreed: "I know, I'll go later. I originally wanted to call you Niang and the others, but since you are all going, it will be easy to get confused if there are too many people, so I can only play with them next time."
This time, she plans to travel with her brothers and sisters. In addition to herself, her eldest brother and her three siblings, plus her eldest cousin and Huanhuan from the Liu family, and her younger cousin Jiang Yan, who lives in the Song family, cannot be left behind.
, there are already seven people.
These seven people each have their own maids and servants, and each is accompanied by at least two bodyguards...
This is simply a group trip!
"Just make your own decision." Song Lanshu didn't care who Lan Xi's friends were, nor did he care about the other person's status.
In her opinion, as long as you make sure you are good enough, you don't have to care about other people's identities.
Song Lanshu didn't value status, but others didn't think so.
"Logically speaking, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. I don't know much about the affairs of the court. I didn't expect that Mr. Song and the Prime Minister have such a connection."
The queen held up the golden hairpin in her bun and sighed.
"If he hadn't brought his children to the house, he would have been just like others, thinking that he was just one of the prime minister's many disciples."
Song Qinnian did not publicize his master-disciple relationship with Meng Wei, but he also did not cover it up deliberately. However, as Meng Wei was the prime minister of the dynasty, countless people went to pay New Year's greetings every year, and the Song family was not involved in them.
What's so special.
The two of them were a little surprised by this, but they didn't pay too much attention to it. The queen was worried about another thing at this time.
"Your father told me yesterday that he received a New Year's greeting letter from the northern general, which mentioned that the three kings of Beimu wanted to marry our eldest son, our princess Jingyan, as his wife. Your father...
No reply yet.”
There were only two princesses in the Jingyan dynasty. The eldest princess had already been married, and Zhan Heng had only one princess, Zhan Jin, who had not yet grown up.
Zhan Jin and the prince's mother were born to the empress of the main palace, and their status was noble. With the strength of the Jingyan Dynasty, there was no need for the princess to marry, but the emperor did not refuse Bei Mu's request, which made the empress worried.
What she feared most was that Zhan Heng would be dissatisfied with her son Zhan Xi's rebellion during this period, and would use the marriage of Zhan Xi's sibling sister to warn and suppress him. The queen believed without hesitation that the emperor would not do anything if necessary.
I will pity her and my daughter.
Who let...the people he really valued were never their mother and daughter?
Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but feel sad.
"Your Majesty, you must not let your father promise Jin'er to Bei Mu, absolutely not!" The queen's eyes were fixed on Zhan Xi, hoping that the other party could give a guarantee.
Zhanxi felt sorry for his mother and quickly replied: "Don't worry, mother, as long as I am your royal brother, I will never let anyone else manipulate your marriage!"
Not only did he make a promise to the queen, but he also tried his best to comfort his uneasy mother: "Don't worry too much. Who is the son of the three kings? He dares to think about the princess of our dynasty. Even for the sake of Jingyan's face,
Even my father would not agree."
The queen didn't believe that Zhan Heng would really marry Zhan Jin to Bei Mu, but the emperor's silence disturbed her mind, so she became concerned and confused. After hearing Zhan Xi's comfort, she felt a little relieved.
"You are right. Not everyone can be worthy of Gu'er's status."
Zhanxi persuaded the queen and felt that her speculation was not empty.
He knew that his father had always had the ambition to capture the Beimu territory. How could he allow his daughter to marry the son of his defeated general if he was so proud?
The queen wanted to say something, but when she heard a slight noise coming from outside the bedroom, she frowned and stopped talking immediately.
"Who is outside?"
When she was discussing matters with her son, she would always keep her eyes open and retreat. The palace people also knew her habits and would not come in to disturb her at this time.
Could it be a spy from the imperial concubine's palace?
Such speculation appeared in the Queen's mind.
"Mother, please wait a moment, I will go out and take a look." Zhan Xi had the same idea as the queen, and stood up to go outside to investigate.
