Records of the King of Xin'an County

As the most handsome and beautiful son-in-law in Chang'an City, the news that the "high-ranking and powerful" Xin'an County King was about to get married broke the hearts of many young ladies, and even shed tears in their dreams.Although there had been rumors that the king of Xin'an County had a marriage contract before, after all, the decree had not yet been issued, and Du Jialan was once considered an unlucky person.Therefore, many young ladies secretly hoped that there would be an accident in this marriage.

Many high-ranking official families also waited for Prince Pu's mansion to find an excuse to dissolve the engagement, and when they found an opportunity, they immediately promoted their young lady to be the princess of Xin'an County.After all, this young king of Xin'an County is by no means an ordinary clan. In the future, he will at least stop at Zong Zhengqing, and he will be more promising than those idle kings who hold vacant positions far away.

Unexpectedly, Prince Pu's Mansion kept its promise, and immediately began to celebrate the Six Ceremonies after receiving the edict, obviously it had been prepared for a long time.Moreover, it is said that even several geese were hunted and shot by the Xin'an County King himself, and each one was raised to be extraordinarily fat and the omen is very good.Du Jiaxu was in order to dilute the so-called Du Jialan's "fate is hard", and he was very cooperative.Nacai, Wenming, and Najib three salutes are all treated as brothers instead of fathers, and they are very thoughtful.

At the beginning of November, new snow began to fall, and the inside and outside of Chang'an City were covered with white snow.When the snow is clear and the sky is clear, the sky is blue and the yushu and qionghua are blooming. It is an auspicious day for marriage.

On the second floor of a north-facing restaurant in Pingkang Fang, several distinguished guests sat by the window, looking with great interest at the pedestrians coming and going outside the square wall.Pedestrians and chariots and horses naturally have nothing special about them. When a group of honor guards slowly approached from a distance, a young man with a particularly delicate appearance immediately clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's finally here." The voice was clear and tactful, obviously A beautiful girl pretending to be a boy.

Hearing this, two other young ladies who were also dressed as men also leaned over and looked: sure enough, they saw two young gentlemen in purple uniforms with light fur and fast horses in front of them, holding marriage letters in their arms and decorated with jade stones. The exquisite nanmu box of the orb is full of smiles between left and right glances.And behind them is a mighty betrothal gift, which is so exquisite that it is enough to dazzle the onlookers.

Although the weather was cold, there were obviously not many ordinary people or officials' children who came to watch the excitement against the icy cold wind.There are all kinds of horse-drawn carts and ox carts parked on both sides of the street, crowded with people, just like a festival.The two envoys who obviously had a very high status also got a lot of sachets from young ladies. When they looked at them inadvertently, they caused bursts of laughter.

"Brother, I have also thought about who should be the envoy and deputy envoy. After all, it is not easy to find the right son of the clan." Princess Changning couldn't help laughing, her eyebrows were curved, but she couldn't hide her banter. "Who knows that you actually invited people from Lu Wang's uncle's family... After all, how much did you pay for them to agree to this job?"

"At present, everyone has at least lost a thousand pieces of gold." Li Hui replied helplessly, "After the matter is completed, there must be a generous gift to thank you."

The two envoys who sent the dowry when accepting the levy should usually be Hao Erlang, who is outstanding in appearance and official position among relatives, and can be regarded as the "face" figure of the clan.Reluctantly, although there are many clan children in Chang'an City, there are very few who can meet the two conditions of "outstanding talent and appearance" and "being in an official position" at the same time, and are enough to make Li Hui or Yan Shi look up to them.Not to mention the many dandies, even those who are dignified with titles, even if they pick and choose, they can't find a few who can be called "face".

At this time, Li Hui naturally missed Li Jing, Li Wei, and Li Jue very much.If these cousins ​​were around, why would he worry about not being able to find a suitable envoy?If it is impossible, we have to lower the conditions and continue to search.The children of King Jing's family are pretty good, but right now the two houses are almost at odds with each other, even if they want to invite them, they can't invite them.Therefore, he had to settle for the next best thing, and went to find the descendants of Lu Wang's family.And King Lu's family loves money, so if you want to invite them, you must prepare a heavy gift.

By the way, Prince Jiangxia was very interested in this matter, and he recommended himself.However, after winter, his body could not hold on, and he had already fallen ill.Originally, Li Hui didn't want to have a deep friendship with him, so when he saw this, he politely rejected him in the name of his need to have a good life.The king of Jiangxia County still refused to give up, and insisted on being his best man.With such a kind intention, it is not appropriate to forcefully refuse after all, so Li Hui had no choice but to agree temporarily.

"You can earn thousands of gold as soon as you reply to the letter. I think the family of King Lu must be vying to be brother's best man?" Princess Changning shook her head, "They are so enthusiastic, if brother doesn't follow It seems that they feel a little sorry for choosing one or two of them to give themselves a boost."

"If I can find others to replace them, I don't want to invite them again." Li Hui sighed, "It's a pity that there is no one in the clan, so I have to do it." In an ordinary wedding, at least two or three bridesmaids are required.Even if Duke Jiangxia could come back with his sick body, he didn't dare to let this man carry the killing stick for him, lest there would be terrible rumors like "the best man was beaten to death with a heavy stick by the bride's family".Even if it is for the consideration of the royal wedding, it is better to have more bridesmaids than less.

"I'll be your bridesmaid." Prince Xian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly took a sip of warm shochu, "I can recite poems for you to fight against you, and I can also block the killing stick for you. No matter how much the Du family No matter how difficult it is, it will definitely not be difficult for you and me." When he said this, he had a casual smile on his face, as if he was just a real friend.

Li Hui was startled, but did not immediately agree.Princess Changning and the sisters of the Wang family glanced at the two of them quietly, and suddenly felt that the private room was so cold that it was chilling down the spine, so they closed the windows tacitly, and let the long dowry procession, the bustling crowd and the snow queen The beautiful scenery of Chuqing was shut out of the window.

"What? Xuan Qi, you don't want to?" Wang Buque, who was half smiling, narrowed his eyes.

"..." Prince Xin'an remained silent.

Both Princess Changning and the Wang sisters pretended that they did not exist, and sat in the corner farthest away from them, talking in a low voice.Of course, they were all a little absent-minded, and they raised their heads from time to time to watch the changes in their expressions, and their ears were also extra vigilant, not letting go of any suspicious words.

"Xuan Qi, don't think too much." Wang Zixian said again, "I just want to see you all the time. It is because it is your wedding that I don't want you out of my sight." .” As far as he is concerned, instead of pretending to be guests and attending the wedding banquet, it is better to watch how they complete the ceremony step by step.

"Alright." Li Hui nodded slightly, "Everyone knows that you are my best friend. If you are not the best man, it will cause people to suspect you." At this moment, perhaps more than anyone else, he expects the wedding to come as soon as possible .Otherwise, bringing up marriage again and again is like hurting again and again, which makes him, the perpetrator, feel extra tormented.Perhaps, only after the wedding is over, can everything be as comfortable as before?They won't fall into inexplicable silence from time to time just because they mention this matter.

In an instant, the private room seemed to freeze for a moment, and the rear gradually returned to normal.Not long after, an unremarkable man sent a secret letter from Cheng Qing, enumerating all kinds of suitable or strange ideas that the beauty next to him had given him recently.Of course, that beauty also knew very well that it was impossible to gain his trust just like this, so she occasionally revealed a lot of information about Princess Anxing's secret cultivation of power.

The so-called dark forces are nothing more than some low- and middle-level officials that Princess Anxing has used for her own use over the years through the power of the Yang family and King Peng, as well as her trusted servants, dark chess that she has planted over the years, etc. .None of the officials she confessed to was someone she trusted, so it would be no pity to throw them out.And these officials are her confidantes, they are hidden very deeply, so far Ni Wang has only found out a little bit.

However, now that Princess Anxing has lost most of her support, she should be extra cautious about keeping her remaining power.Even if only destroying [-] to [-]% of her confidants, it should be enough to make her furious.As for her servants, dark chess, etc., after she was trapped in the princess mansion, they were like her eyes and ears.It is absolutely impossible for her to allow anyone to cut off these connections, otherwise it will be the same as being imprisoned in a prison, and everything can no longer be controlled.

"It would be too slow to dig out one person at a time, and there will inevitably be variables." The prince offered, "It's better to knock her down with thunder after getting some evidence. As for her confidantes , if they lose their backbone, they will definitely not be able to achieve any great things. A truly intelligent person will never choose a master like An Xing to be loyal to a master like An Xing. As long as she falls, these people will have revenge even if they want Weigh one or two. We just need to catch them all when they have abnormalities."

"That's right, but the evidence right now is not enough. Moreover, if we can get more information from Ni Wang, it will be beneficial for us to act in the future." Li Hui continued, "Of course, we can't be too greedy for this benefit. Yi An It is good to take advantage of King Ni as a bait, but to miss the right time for this is putting the cart before the horse. After all, the most important thing for us right now is to settle down and seek rebellion."

Princess Changning thought for a moment: "It suddenly occurred to me that when we tried the Sanlang case earlier, we destroyed a lot of Anxing's eyeliner buried in the palace. But there are a few suspicious people, but Auntie specifically ordered me to keep them. They stopped. At present, their whereabouts are all under the control of A Niang, and they dare not act rashly. Maybe they just need to relax a little, and they will not be able to bear it? When they contact An Xing, it will be enough to prove that she is plotting something wrong. "Spying on the court is like treason, and the saint will never allow anyone to put his hand into the Tai Chi Palace.

"These eyeliners are calm-minded, so they may not be easy to deceive." Li Hui pondered for a while, "We must first release some news that is not good for Anxing. They are devoted to the Lord, so that they may show their flaws."

"In the next two days, let's discuss with Auntie when we should do something." Princess Changning said with a smile, "If uncle can pry some more suitable 'evidence' from Niang's subordinates, maybe we can hurry up." Before my brother got married, An Xing was completely removed. Otherwise, she would have been watching her all the time, and my brother might not be able to see the gift from her, and even the joy of the wedding would be a little less." When she got married, she also received An Xing. Xingfeng added makeup, and felt very uncomfortable.

Wang Zixian glanced at her, smiled and said nothing.
