[Red House] But for the sake of the king

Before the Lantern Festival, Shui Rong couldn't help it, because his mother and concubine got angry all day long thinking about finding a wife for him.After thinking about it, his father, king and mother concubine mean the same thing, and he is indeed not young. If the concubine hadn't gone, I'm afraid he wouldn't have gotten to this moment.It's just that there is one thing in his heart all the time, that his mother and concubine gave to Zhang Luo's ladies, he has never considered it from the bottom of his heart, and after thinking about it, he has to ask the emperor.

Among these nephews, Jun Qi admired Shui Rong the most, and even lamented that several of his sons were not as good as him, and there was no lack of reasons for Lin Ruhai.So when he heard that Shui Rong asked for an interview, Jun Qi temporarily put down what he was doing, and came to ask for an interview alone when he heard what he had to do.

Shui Rong plucked up the courage to finally enter the palace, and was about to speak, but he hesitated when he saw many maids waiting inside.Originally, marriage matters have always been the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. He, a young man, said that this matter is not good, not to mention that it also involves Miss Lin's boudoir reputation.

It was rare for Jun Qi to see him hesitating like this, so he immediately understood and gave Dai Quan a wink, and everyone in the room left immediately.

Seeing this, Shui Rong said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. This time, I have something to ask to see the Emperor."

Jun Qi smiled and said, "I know that you will go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, but now everyone has been dismissed, so you can say anything."

Shui Rong raised his robe and knelt down, "I implore the emperor to grant you a marriage."

Jun Qi was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that the child was here for a marriage gift.In the past two years, Princess Beijing has been busy with Luo Shuirong's marriage. Even the old concubine has not forgotten about it recently during her filial piety period. Jun Qi has heard about it.Even before, he planned to recruit Shui Rong as his son-in-law, but the king of Beijing Jing is a king with a different surname after all, and it would be difficult to control once he became powerful.The current Shuijun can make him trust, but it doesn't mean that the Beiwang family will never have another heart.Pressing down on these thoughts, Jun Qi said, "Oh? Is it because of this? I heard that your mother and concubine have been taking care of you for a long time. Is it possible that you already have a girl you fancy? Which family is it from? Miss, tell me and listen."

After hearing this, Shui Rong knew that the emperor might not be able to take care of this matter, after all, the Beiwang Mansion is not an ordinary house, and not just anyone can enter.Thinking of Mr.'s current status, Shui Rong was a little uncertain, but he had already reached this point, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "The emperor is wise, and he is not a minister...just..." It was hard to continue in the middle of the sentence Well, Shui Rong really couldn't find any reason to convince the emperor, could it be possible to really say what he had in mind?It's not good after all.

Seeing his hesitation, Jun Qi thought that Princess Bei Jing had hardly looked at all the ladies in the capital in order to choose a daughter-in-law. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Could it be that you are looking at common people? Girl, is your mother and concubine not allowed?"

Shui Rong gritted his teeth, and replied, "That's not the case, I want the emperor to give me a marriage with Master Lin's daughter!"

This was even more beyond Jun Qi's expectation, he heard it right, or that Master Lin did not mean Lin Ruhai, you must know that Ruhai has only one daughter, besides, Yu'er is only [-] when she comes to New Year's Eve!Yin asked, "Which Master Lin are you talking about?"

Shui Rong blushed, he had already talked about this point, and there was no reason to back down, "It's Master Lin Hailin."

Jun Qi said loudly, "Confused, Ru Hai only has one daughter, who is only 12 years old this year, how can you do it..." Jun Qi couldn't say the word daughter-in-law anyway, he always regarded Ru Hai's children as his own generally.Especially Yu'er, who grew up and watched her grow up, and likes her very much like her father's temperament, so she loves her very much.Now when he first heard that Shui Rong was the idea to hit Yu'er, he was a little displeased.

Shui Rong said, "I know, I know, I'm willing to wait until after Miss Lin reaches Ji before performing the wedding ceremony."

Jun Qi calmed himself down, and asked in a deep voice, "I ask you, why did you choose Miss Lin?"

Shui Rong's blushing face burned even more, the emperor's question was too straightforward, how dare he say that he was rude to Miss Lin because of his "unintentional mistake" back then, so he kept it in his heart, I just want to be responsible to Miss Lin.So I changed the way of saying it, and said in a low voice, "When I was young, I studied under Lord Lin. I also heard that Mr.'s daughter was intelligent since she was a child, and she was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When I saw it in the suburbs of Beijing that year, I was even more shocked. Man, therefore, therefore..."

Jun Qi waved his hand, "Okay, you don't need to say anything, I know. You kid, did you still fall in love at first sight?" Jun Qi felt even more uncomfortable. He still remembered Shui Rong's rescue of Yu'er back then, but Yu'er still A child in her teens, why did Shui Rong have a crush on her?Could it be that this boy Rong actually... likes children?Then he had to think carefully, he couldn't find any faults in other parts of Shui Rong, but if he really had this fault, he must not let Yu'er fall into the fire pit.

Shui Rong was embarrassed to hear about "love at first sight" and stopped replying.If they were of the same age, they would not have to bother the emperor, presumably both father, mother and concubine would be very happy with the family background of the Lin family.It's just that he is much older than Miss Lin after all, not to mention whether the mother concubine can let him wait until his twenties before getting married, it is also a big problem for the Lin family.But the emperor also has a question, Mr. is now the most popular person in the court, if the Lin family and the Beiwang family become in-laws, plus the Lin family's in-laws, the Jia family who has a close relationship with the Beiwang family, the relationship here is not the emperor's. Probably not considered.Shui Rong was betting, betting on the emperor's trust in the current Beiwang Mansion, and betting on his fate with Miss Lin.Of course, he didn't want Miss Lin not to marry. Apart from the few guards who had already been dismissed, he and Miss Lin probably remembered everything that happened that day. It was just that the way of Confucius and Mencius that he had learned in childhood and the words and deeds of his father were all soluble in water. Can't stop thinking about it.In the final analysis, he was too reckless and did something bad with good intentions. Although it was to save people, he was also rude to Miss Lin.

In the huge imperial study room, the monarchs and ministers sat and knelt, the silence was terrifying.Jun Qi thought for a long time, and finally said, "I know about this, but I can't agree to you right now. I understand your concerns, and I will talk to your father and Lord Lin when this matter is free. You can go back first. "

Just as Shui Rong thought, Jun Qi had to carefully consider the marriage of the Shuilin family, but he also wanted to find a husband for Yu'er, and Shui Rong was naturally one of the best candidates, so he didn't immediately refuse.It's just that he can't decide whether it's his own daughter or not, he still has to ask Ru Hai.

When Shui Rong heard this, he knew there was hope, and immediately kowtowed to thank him, and obediently went home to wait for Xin'er to go.

Lin Ruhai received an urgent call from the palace, and said that there was an accident in Wang Ziteng's case, so he hurriedly dismissed the consul general who is now in the shop in the capital, changed his official uniform, got on a sedan chair and went straight to the palace.When I got off the sedan chair at the gate of the palace, I saw that King Bei Jing had just got off the sedan chair. After asking, he was also called by the emperor temporarily, but he didn't know why.Lin Ruhai thought that something serious had happened, so he hurriedly went to the Imperial Study Room together with King Beijing Jing.

This King of Beijing was invited after Jun Qi ordered someone to invite him.After all, he is a big old man, and he has never been a moon old man. After thinking about it, Jun Qi still needs to let them all know about it.Otherwise, if Lin Ruhai fell in love with Shui Rong, and the Northern Prince's House disagreed with the marriage, wouldn't it be a waste of time.As the emperor, Jun Qi didn't care if it would be embarrassing for the two of them to discuss their children's marriage, so he just invited everyone here.

The two entered the door and saluted, standing on the left and right, waiting respectfully for the emperor's order.Unexpectedly, Jun Qi pondered for a while, but said, "Shui Jun, your son Rong just came over and asked me for a favor."

What does this mean?Both Shui Jun and Lin Ruhai were beating drums in their hearts.One was thinking about what his son could do to ask the emperor, and he might have offended the emperor by calling him now; the other was thinking, it sounds like something about the Northern Palace, why did he bring him along? , is there any connection between them?

Shui Jun cupped his hands and asked, "The dog is reckless, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Jun Qi smiled and said, "What are you being reckless? It's true that you, a father, don't care about your son. Do you know why Boy Rong came here? I won't let you play tricks, but he came to beg me for a favor." married."

Both Shui and Lin thumped in their hearts, waiting for Jun Qi to continue talking.Sure enough, Jun Qi didn't want to waste time, but there were still many important matters waiting for him to deal with, so he said happily, "Boy Rong said that he wants to ask to marry the daughter of his mentor's family, and he is willing to wait for Miss Lin and Ji to welcome her in, but he is afraid You and the concubine were too impatient and forced him to get married, so you came up with an idea and asked me to give him a marriage. It's just a big matter of marriage, so naturally you have to obey your parents' orders, and I can't just rely on my status as the emperor to mess with the couple. I just want to call you to discuss it.”

Discuss?The two fathers who knew the truth almost didn't faint on the spot, they were all pissed off!Although Lin Ruhai was very satisfied with the student Shui Rong, but now he heard that he had "an evil intention" towards his own daughter, and even openly begged the emperor for a marriage, he was so angry that he couldn't even speak.His Yu'er was only 12 years old and lost her mother when she was young. Although he wanted to find a good family for her, he also wanted to stay for a few more years, so he would not be easily married away.

Shui Jun didn't have time to complain about his son, so he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "I don't know how to be a rebellious son, but I have bothered the emperor with such trivial matters, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

Jun Qi said, "I have always regarded Rong'er as my own nephew, how can his marriage be said to be a trivial matter. I told you about this first, but I was going home to find trouble for the child. Rong'er was originally Lin Aiqing's student , It would be considered a beautiful thing if it comes true. However, I don’t want to act arbitrarily, you can discuss it slowly when you go home, this is a lifelong event, and there is no need to rush it for a while.”

The two of them wanted to say something, Jun Qi then said, "I'm not looking for you two today just because of the child's marriage. In a few days, Wang Ziteng's case should be tried again. It's not a problem to keep it closed like this." .I think Dali Temple may not be able to interfere too much, so please tell me who can be the presiding judge of this case."

Lin Ruhai was unhappy in his heart. Hearing Jun Qi's words, he was clearly optimistic about this marriage. Regardless of the fact that Shui Jun was standing beside him, he sneered and said, "The emperor is arbitrary. Who should be the presiding judge is not a matter of your words. Even if you want to be personally interrogated by the imperial driver, it is not impossible, it is all up to the emperor to decide."

As soon as these words came out, Shui Jun's expression changed instantly, and he sighed in his heart, I am afraid that Lin Ruhai is the only one who dares to talk to the emperor like this in this world, except for the Supreme Emperor.It's just that I'm unlucky, the emperor has lost face like this, and was bumped into by him, I'm afraid he will suffer a lot.

For a while, Jun Qi couldn't get off the stage, if there were only the two of them, it would be fine, and Shui Jun was still on the sidelines, where would Ru Hai put him, the emperor, with such a temper?Out of displeasure, she said, "Lin Aiqing is presumptuous!"

Lin Ruhai was a bit regretful at first, but who knew that Jun Qi came here again, although most of it was for Shui Jun, but Lin Ruhai didn't want to get so much out of anger, so he stood there without saying a word, with a haughty expression on his face.

The atmosphere froze for a while, Shui Jun regretted secretly, and scolded Shui Rong in his heart, making up his mind to teach this kid a lesson when he went back.If it wasn't for this kid's gift of marriage, how could these things happen.

Jun Qi cleared his throat, it was not a problem to be stalemate like this, so he said to Shui Jun, "Prince Beijing Jing, go back first."

Shui Jun was so eager to leave that he didn't dare to take a second look, so he left immediately, and didn't let out a long sigh of relief until the door closed behind him.

Jun Qi sighed, and walked up to Lin Ruhai, "What's wrong with you, is there something bothering you?"

Lin Ruhai held his breath and didn't open his mouth, thinking that it wasn't all caused by you, so he should talk about marriage properly.Although the dowry has been prepared for a long time, and I have been taking care of it recently, but the sudden mention of it makes me feel uncomfortable.In her previous life, she just threw Yu'er to Jia's family, and she didn't know how she lived in Jia's family, and what kind of person she married in the end, but now every time she thinks about it, she feels ashamed.Although I understand that my daughter will always go out one day, I still want to stay for a few more years, as compensation for the debts of my previous life.

How did Jun Qi know about this? He just thought that he was dissatisfied with Shui Rong, so he said, "Are you thinking about Rong'er and Yu'er? In fact, Rong'er is a good boy, don't you know the students you teach? , character and knowledge are all good, not to mention family background. Since he is interested in Yu'er, he must be good to Yu'er in the future, so you have nothing to worry about."

Lin Ruhai glanced at him, "Hmph, Rong'er is naturally a good guy, but you don't want to see how old he is. Yu'er is still young, and I plan to stay for another four or five years. I don't dare to delay the important events of my son's life."

Jun Qi just came to his senses. It turned out that he was reluctant to part with Yu'er, so he smiled and said, "What's the matter, four or five years is only four or five years, but Rong'er said that he is willing to wait for Yu'er to get married before getting married. As long as you order In the end, the wedding date is not up to you. If you think about it carefully, there is probably no better child than Rong'er in the whole capital, so it's not good enough for Yu'er."

Lin Ruhai said, "I'm choosing a son-in-law, not a champion. I didn't expect Yu'er to marry such an outstanding person. I only hoped that she would get a good husband, who would treat her better in the future and be safe and secure." Let me tell you the truth, Rong'er is good at everything, even if he is eight years older than Yu'er, it's just that his family background is too good, I don't want to marry the Beiwang family .”

Jun Qi said, "You don't need to be like this, and I won't be jealous of your two families, and others can't make irresponsible remarks. Aren't your two families well-matched? You just say you can't see Shang Rong'er, don't There is no need to think about it. If my sons are not suitable, I still want to make Yu'er my daughter-in-law."

Lin Ruhai glared at him, "What are you talking about? It's easy to just look at people. Anyway, don't agree to him. Even if I agree, I'm afraid the prince and princess of Beijing will not agree. Don't forget Yes, Rong'er is already twenty this year, and she has to wait a few more years to get married, what does it look like?"

Jun Qi smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry about it, I have an idea anyway. You should think about it when you go back and discuss it with the old lady. Such a good son-in-law is hard to find, so don't regret it later."

Lin Ruhai was so angry that he rolled his eyes and wanted to leave.Jun Qi hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, I still have something to say, why did I just leave. Wang Ziteng's case will be presided over by Shui Jun, so don't worry about it. There is news from the south, do you want to listen?"

Lin Ruhai angrily knocked off the restless hands on his waist, "Say what you want, don't move."

Jun Qi was not annoyed, he pulled him into his arms, and kissed him straight on the mouth, "Don't be angry, I haven't seen you for so many days, and you don't give me a good face, what you said on New Year's Eve Forget it all."

Lin Ruhai thought of something, his face flushed, he was ashamed and angry, and kicked Jun Qi's calf, "Are you serious? If you don't say it, forget it. I'm still busy."

Jun Qi gasped in pain, secretly said that Ru Hai's temper really got worse, and now he could even move his feet.As soon as he changed his mind, he let go of the person, squatted on the ground, hugged his calf and said "ouch".

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai squatted down to look at him, and asked, "It really hurts so much? Do you want to see the imperial doctor? I didn't try too hard."

Jun Qi glanced at him pretending to be sad, and said in a deep voice, "No need, if you ask how it happened, what should I say? If someone with a heart finds out, it will inevitably be a mess. Help me go first Sit down on the kang, and let Dai Quan find some medicinal wine to rub it for a while."

Lin Ruhai really thought he was hurt, obediently helped him over, and asked, "Where is the medicinal wine, let him bring it now, and I will rub it for you."

Who knew that as soon as Jun Qi sat on the kang, he pulled him back, turned over and pressed him under him, "Don't be too busy, just let me get close to you obediently."

Before Lin Ruhai could struggle, a delicate kiss fell on his face, from the forehead along the brow bone to the bridge of the nose, and then to the lips, the familiar breath hit his face, and he couldn't help but let out a low moan in comfort.

Jun Qi paused, almost unable to hold back, turned to the ear, sucked the small earlobe lightly, and said in a voice as light as a mosquito, "The wall has ears, and the identity of the people in the south has been confirmed. March Come to Beijing."

Lin Ruhai came to his senses, buried his head on Jun Qi's chest, and said intentionally, "I'd better be happy in the other courtyard, that's all, get up quickly, what should I do if people see me later."

Jun Qi laughed, "Hahaha, why are you ashamed, they are all waiting outside, you are cowardly if you dare not come in without my words. Forget it, I have fulfilled your wish, and wait for me in the other courtyard tonight .” After speaking, he kissed him on the cheek before letting him go.

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly in his heart, and now he might be convicted of this misfortune.
