Marry a wife to be the emperor

Before the emperor agreed to the marriage, Pei Qinglin ran over to find his elder brother. Pei Qingyi was not good at emotional matters, and he quarreled with his father, Pei Yan.In this kind of matter, the Ye family has always followed the arrangement of the head of the family, Pei Yan, and the only person Pei Qinglin can turn to for comfort is Pei Qinghong.

Pei Qinghong's public holiday happened to be the day before the Double Ninth Festival, and he had been on holiday since the eighth day of September. The bookstore where Lan Min was staying had not yet started the holiday, so he got up early and left.Pei Qinghong said to humanity early and fell asleep again, and finally fell asleep in a daze, when there was a knock on the door outside.

"Brother, are you awake yet?!" The voice sounded like Pei Qinglin's.Although he still wanted to rest for a while, Pei Qinghong had no choice but to put on a coat. The white maomao, who was startled by the sound, poked out half a cat's head from the sleeping basket specially made for it, and stared at the door with wide cat eyes. The young man in a well-dressed suit meowed twice before burying his head in the soft clothes that served as his quilt.

"It's so early in the morning, so what's the matter?" Pei Qinghong pulled him in and closed the door, his eyes were sleepy, and his voice sounded a little sleepy.

Pei Qinglin sat on the stool first, then stood up quickly, unable to sit still on the stool like his butt was burning: "Brother, have you heard about the matter of Daddy begging for me to marry Princess Yuyang?"

Pei Qinghong washed his face with the cold water in the room, and he became much more awake. After tidying up, he replied to Pei Qinglin's words: "Of course I know about the marriage that Dad proposed to the emperor and the Supreme Emperor in the court hall. You are very early in the morning This is why you came here to disturb my sleep?"

Pei Qinglin's face was flushed, he was still a 16-year-old boy after all, and he was no longer pretending to be old-fashioned, he kept twisting his fingers with both hands, and murmured, "Brother, can you Tell dad to take back this joke, I don't want to marry that princess Yuyang."

Pei Qinghong's face became calm and serious: "If you don't want to, just tell your father, come to me, and I can't help you." The parents ordered the matchmaker to say that if he married someone privately, it would be elopement , teach people to look down upon, parents and clan will not admit it.

The Pei family is not the kind of family with a deep heritage, but the family rules related to family style are still very strict. The three sons of the Pei family, except Pei Qinghong, who has the autonomy of marriage, the other two have no way to decide their own marriage.There is a price to be paid for the honor and favor you get, and many of the noble sons who have made good friends with Pei Qinghong all married daughters of the right family according to the arrangement of their parents.

Although it is said that there are three wives and four concubines, there can only be one official wife recognized by the family. Pei Qinglin enjoys a life much better than ordinary people. The willfulness of the Pei family naturally does not mean that he can marry whoever he wants.

"It's useless for me to talk to my parents." Father Pei said a long time ago that he would arrange a well-matched marriage for him. The eldest brother Pei Qingyi married the delicate and savage Princess Rongxin under the gift of marriage. Even a little niece wanted to give birth to him, and the second brother had no hope. If he married a man, it would be impossible to continue the incense of the Pei family. He rejected the burden on himself, but Pei Yan's request to marry the princess came too suddenly, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

"Do you really think it's too early, or do you already have someone you like?" Pei Qinghong is also someone who has been there, although he has never really loved anyone, but judging by Pei Qinglin's appearance, I am afraid that the latter has fallen in love with some girl.

Pei Qinglin's face immediately turned redder, and he stammered a little: "Who, who said I have someone I like?"

"Since there is no one, then Xiao Qi will be able to ask Princess Yuyang to marry with peace of mind. Father must have discussed this matter with mother. Can you still trust their vision?" Whether it is Ye Shi or Pei Shi Yan Yan is extremely accurate in seeing people, not to mention that Princess Yuyang is well-known, her appearance, character and family background are extremely outstanding.

"Mother's choice is naturally good, but I don't like women who are older than me. Besides, she is a princess. If she marries into our family, my parents still have to salute to them. I don't want my parents to be so wronged, and I don't want Be that consort." Pei Qinglin was still awkward.

"Princess Yuyang is of the blood of the first emperor, and she is only three years older than you. The third younger brother has a wild temper. Naturally, my mother will not marry someone who is more lively than you and can't control the family. The princess is a person who knows how to be courteous." , although it is said that if you marry in, you will choose another residence near our Pei's mansion as the son-in-law's mansion, but if the princess doesn't force you, you can still stay at Pei's house. As for the ceremony, you don't have to worry about your parents being wronged gone."

Although the royal family is distinguished, the status of a princess and a prince is still very different.In Dalan, the parents of the prince and concubine or the head of the state are required to perform the ceremony of the emperor and the emperor when they meet the prince and the emperor, but the married princess does not necessarily enjoy this treatment.

Even for a princess who is very much loved by the emperor, the royal family also stipulates that as long as her son-in-law's father and mother are royal family members or officials of the second rank or above, they do not need to salute.This is true for those who are favored, let alone those princesses who are not favored. As long as the husband's family does not do anything out of line, no one will hold on to the salute if the princess does not show off her style. , although Pei Yan and Ye are ministers, but one is a first-rank official with real power, and the other is a first-rank wife appointed by the emperor. As long as the eyes of the eldest princess of Yuyang do not grow on her head, it is impossible to say that she is in the Pei family. The prestige of being a princess in front of the two elders, not to mention the well-known elegance and courtesy of Princess Yuyang, was the wife Ye Shi tempted to propose for Pei Qingyi.

It's just that Princess Yuyang was still very young at that time, and now after so many years, she is already ninety-nine years old. If the royal family drags on, Princess Yuyang will become an old girl. One pressure is better.

"Even if she won't let her parents feel wronged, then I, the son-in-law, have to coax her every day. She is almost twenty, and she can't get married at such an age. Who knows if there is something wrong. Our Pei family It's what your parents told you about the big tree attracting the wind, won't the royal family pay more attention to us if you marry a princess?" Pei Qinglin still didn't understand.

Looking at Pei Qinglin who was still whimpering, Pei Qinghong analyzed the relationship with him again: "Princess Yuyang and Princess Yuyang were not born to the current queen mother, and they were favored by the Supreme Emperor. Of course, it will not affect the status of the Pei family." The princess is of the blood of the former emperor, but she was born of the deceased imperial concubine. She has been staying in the palace in a regular manner, and no one will offend. She is a link between the emperor and the emperor. Tie it tighter.

"Anyway, I just don't want to marry that old woman. If Dad wants to marry him, why don't he go? It's okay to give it to my elder brother!" Pei Qinglin didn't make any sense when he became self-willed.

"Nonsense!" Pei Qinghong slapped the table heavily, and the teapot on the table jumped twice. Pei Qinglin, who had never seen his second brother get angry, quickly shut his mouth and looked at him.

"You haven't changed your nonsense yet. Can the eldest princess make you talk so nonsense? You asked your elder brother to let your father marry the princess. Can a majestic princess be a concubine? What's the use of talking about it here? , I won’t try to persuade you, if you really don’t want to be Princess Shang, then go and ask your father to tell His Majesty that he was confused for a while!”

"Tell Dad this, and Dad will break my leg." Pei Qinglin became weak, so he said it verbally, and he came to Pei Qinghong just to complain and let his second brother smash his dream.

"Since you know it yourself, don't think too much about it, and be your groom's official with peace of mind. The above marriage has not yet come down, and the princess will get married, at least a few months later. If you can break it, you can do it yourself Break it off properly." Pei Qinghong patted his third brother on the shoulder, and the other party's reaction, even out of choice, was probably because there was someone in his heart and it was hard to let go. It would be too much to say that Princess Yuyang is not good. Because there is something better in my heart, it's just a pity that his third brother is destined to strangle his young first love in the bud.

Looking at the back of Pei Qinglin's somewhat desolate young man, Pei Qinghong sighed, and took the white Mao Mao out of the basket with a piece of cloth on it, and said, "Maomao, my third brother is going to get married and have children, and I don't know what's going on with me. Time will make it."

Bai Maomao was meowed comfortably by Shunmao, and when Pei Qinghong mentioned Lan Min's name, the cat hair all over his body exploded, but Pei Qinghong, who was deep in thought, didn't notice it, and he was far away in the palace reviewing the memorial. Tai Shulan sneezed suddenly, and almost drew a long mark on the memorial with a shaking of his hand.

Chang Xiu hurriedly ordered the imperial dining room to make ginger tea to dispel the cold, and mentioned something about Princess Yuyang: "The empress dowager and the emperor don't seem to be very satisfied with this marriage. The servants at the empress dowager's side said Now, the queen mother seems to want Princess Lingyu to marry the Pei family." Princess Lingyu was the youngest princess of the former emperor, three years older than the current little emperor, and was adopted under the name of the young queen mother. Princess Yang is much closer to the Queen Mother.

Tai Shulan just paused for a moment and then went on to review the memorial: "The marriage between Princess Yuyang and Young Master Pei should be arranged earlier, and you can find some suitable matchmakers and old people in the palace to go to the princess' bedroom to arrange it." .”

"By the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing. I don't know if I should tell Your Majesty."

Tai Shulan replied with one word: "Say."

"Teacher Pei made an appointment to meet at Yuanke today, and he booked the private room on the third floor, and the little overlord of the Su family also went."

Tai Shulan finally added one more word: "Follow, report!"

The protagonist Pei Qinghong, who was discussed by the two, washed up and went to the appointment. Although he was on a public holiday, it didn't mean he was idle at home. Of course, the servants in the mansion prepared the things to be bought for the Double Ninth Festival, so he didn't need to worry about the newspaper. It hasn't been resolved yet, so he naturally wants to invite people here sincerely when he has time.

The person he wanted to invite was Su Jing, the concubine son of the Su family. The Su family was not against them, but Su Jing was the most suitable person for this position among the people he knew.It is his power to propose who to appoint, but it is the emperor or the Supreme Emperor who decides the final candidate. Whether he can cooperate with others in a friendly manner, he still has to meet the person first.

He didn't like this predestined guest coming, but Su Jing often came to the place, in order to show his sincerity, he set the location in such a place of the Su family.

It's just that there was something unexpected about this appointment. When he was waiting, before Su Jing came, a young man in brocade clothes suddenly barged in: "Pei Qinghong, how can your Pei family treat me..."
