The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

Before he could say who he liked, He Zhaoyuan knocked on the carriage.

"Master Hou, there are people coming from the palace."

Xiao Jiuqin was still stuck in the middle of a sentence, and Bai Yan's heart stuck in his throat when he raised it.

"Your Majesty wants to see Master Bai." He Zhaoyuan didn't see any response for a long time after he finished speaking, he was puzzled, and knocked again.

"Understood." Xiao Jiuqin's voice was not very forthright, He Zhaoyuan touched his nose helplessly, it's not that I insist on disturbing your deep affection.The emperor has spoken, what can I do?I am also very helpless!

In the carriage, both of them looked reluctant, but the one in the palace was not easy to deal with, Xiao Jiuqin originally wanted to take this opportunity to make it clear, but the timing was too unfortunate.

It's about the ambiguous relationship between the two of them, talking too fast will always seem like disrespect to Bai Yan, he thought about it, and decided to hold it down for now.

Let's deal with the one in the palace first.

"Go down." Bai Yan waited until Xiao Jiuqin could speak, and it was inevitable that he would be dissatisfied when he spoke again.

Xiao Jiuqin seemed not aware of it, and said to himself, "I'll go with you."

"Huh?" Bai Yan frowned, "I'm the one who wants to see you, what are you doing?"

"The emperor wants to see you for no reason. No matter how you think about it, it's very strange. I can rest assured." He said it very naturally, and Bai Yan glanced at him, "Don't make trouble."

Xiao Jiuqin was serious and serious, "I didn't make trouble, but I was afraid that he would make things difficult for you."

Bai Yan was at a loss for words, and sighed for a while, "No, I just asked about the past two days, don't worry."

"Don't worry." Xiao Jiuqin was a rascal to the extreme, he could tell from what happened in the past two days, it was clear that someone was trying to harm Bai Yan.He was just afraid that Bai Yan would get angry, otherwise he would have tied him by his side long ago to prevent him from running around.

I'm afraid that I will really break the emperor's taboo, Bai Yan sighed helplessly, "Follow me, then don't talk too much, just report the case."

"Yeah." Xiao Jiuqin's face looked much better.

As soon as they entered the palace, Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin stopped talking, and the two went directly to the imperial garden led by the little eunuch.

"My lord, Lord Hou, the grand master is here today." The little eunuch reminded in a low voice, he had been taken care of by Huai Chun, and he had tried his best to help the two of them.

Bai Yan nodded, Xiao Jiuqin was a little puzzled, "Didn't it mean that Grand Master Yun is not in good health, and lingering on a sick bed is not good for him?"

"Let's take one step at a time." Bai Yan thought for a while, "It's not because of the two days' case that I was called here."

Compared with such an unknown purpose, neither of them is timid, but they can't help but speculate in their hearts.

There are many rare flowers and trees in the imperial garden, Xiao Jiuqin's eyes moved, and he broke off the branches casually, Bai Yan frowned, and glared at him, "Be honest, all the people in this garden are the sharp-hearted ones, and it's not easy to plant them. You even folded..."

"This thing is planted for people to see, and how do you say it, 'the flowers bloom and the branches are broken, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches', the ancients advised to fold flowers."

"You..." Bai Yan was extremely helpless.

The two chatted one after another, and they walked together after a while, and saw the emperor in the pavilion from a distance... burning incense and meditating.

Xiao Jiuqin quickly threw the flower branch in his hand, pouted, "Don't ask you to teach and listen."

"It would be fine if it's listening to the sermon, but it's a Hongmen banquet." Bai Yan's eyes fell on the other person in the pavilion.

Light veils were blowing down around the pavilion, three or four court ladies were holding trays, there were three people in the pavilion, the emperor was wearing a Taoist robe, with only a bun in his bun, and the Taoist priests beside him also looked like detached old gods.

This would make it difficult for Grand Master Yun who is opposite, he is inconvenient to walk, he seems to be carried by a frame, and his body is leaning against the handrail, it seems that it is difficult to catch his breath.

After a few steps, Bai Yan and Bai Yan bowed to salute.

The emperor closed his eyes and did not respond.

Grand Master Yun seemed to be in a daze, and it took a while before his eyes fell on Bai Yan.

Bai Yan lowered his head, Xiao Jiuqin also knelt silently, their backs were straight, Grand Master Yun looked at them for a long time, but said nothing.

After a while, the emperor slowly opened his eyes when the rain began to fall from the sky. The court lady knelt in front of him, cleaned his hands after serving him, and drank another cup of tea before looking at Bai Yan, "Ai Qing is tired of waiting. ..."

"I dare not." Bai Yan leaned over, his forehead was almost pressed against the cold bluestone.

His body was no bigger than Xiao Jiuqin's, and in just a short while, his knees were already chilling, his clothes were damp and cold, and the raindrops on the back of his hands were slowly sliding down the lines.

"I heard," the emperor elongated his voice, and Bai Yan's heart skipped a beat as he came.

"A few days ago, you met Qi Yin from the Grand Master's Mansion on the street." The emperor lost a lot of weight and his cheekbones were raised. But when he heard the word 'Qiyin', he was immediately stunned.

What's the meaning?Why did Yun Qiyin's name be mentioned suddenly?

Not to mention that Bai Yan didn't figure it out, even Xiao Jiuqin's eyes moved.

But thinking about it, if you should go back, you still have to go back, Bai Yan said honestly, "Go back to Your Majesty, I did meet Miss Yun by chance."

"Yes." The emperor nodded.

Then before Bai Yan could react, he suddenly said, "Aiqing has reached the crown..."

Bai Yan was even more dazed, and hesitantly said, "The third day of May and the crown."

"That's right." The emperor suddenly smiled, and Bai Yan suddenly had a bad intuition. Sure enough, the emperor said quietly, "I heard that you and Qiyin knew each other in the old days, and now the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. Why don't I marry you two? It would be a good thing to do.”

Bai Yan's heart stopped for a moment, and he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and his ministers. He raised his head in astonishment and couldn't believe it, "Your Majesty, this..."

"What?" The emperor looked down on him, staring at him, "You don't like Qiyin?"

"Miss Yun is elegant and beautiful, but I dare not climb up." Bai Yan has never been so anxious for a moment, and he almost jumped up in surprise just now.

Ridiculous, this is ridiculous!

Not to mention anything else, just because he broke his sleeve on Xiao Jiuqin, it was impossible to marry Yun Qiyin.

The great joke of slipping the world is simply...it was hit by an arrow for no reason.

Bai Yan was in a state of confusion, Xiao Jiuqin didn't feel much better there, he clenched his fists tightly, if it wasn't for Bai Yan's quick opening, he would have stood up to defend himself.

Who is Yun Qiyin and asked Bai Yan to marry her?The thought of Bai Yan wearing a wedding dress and leading others to worship, would make him so angry that his seven orifices would rise to heaven.

absurd!absurd!The old emperor is simply unreasonable!

"Ai Qing don't need to underestimate yourself. You are now a third-rank censor, with extraordinary looks and great talents. You will join the cabinet in the future. How can you say you are high?"

"Your Majesty, I'm dull and unambitious. Miss Peiyun really wronged her." He wished he could demote himself to nothing, but the emperor obviously didn't give him this chance, so he said again, "Whether you're wronged or not, it's still up to you." It was right to ask Qiyin, and the grand master happened to be here, so I might as well ask first to see what your father thinks."

Grand Master Yun just kept silent, and Bai Yan almost ignored his existence.

Now he spoke, but Bai Yan didn't have any expectations.

Sure enough, Grand Master Yun said tremblingly, "What Your Majesty said is true."

Grand Master Yun is now lingering on the sick bed, Concubine Yun has not come back yet, Wei Chengdan and brother Wei Chengdan are hard to take on important positions, if he violates the emperor's wishes, it will definitely be of no benefit to the Yun family, so the emperor asked, he just couldn't do it if he didn't want to.

A smile appeared on the emperor's face, "Aiqing and Qiyin are a match made in heaven, if you two can make it..."

"I can't." Bai Yan's face was ugly, and everyone present was taken aback when he opened his mouth, the emperor's expression changed.But he has come to this point, and it is useless to make a little bit of concession.

He made a solemn face, "When it comes to marriage, I'm really not a good man." He endured it, and said firmly, "I...a good Longyang, I can't match Miss Yun."

"Pa-ta..." The cups on the table were accidentally swept to the ground by his sleeves, Bai Yan lowered his eyes, and said again, "I dare not lie, since I understand human affairs, there is indeed no connecting room. Miss Yun's family background is clean You are noble and beautiful, if I don't know the so-called concealment of this matter, it will not only hinder Miss Yun's future, but also deceive the emperor."

He was frank and straightforward, but the emperor didn't know how to get angry.

Just like what Bai Yan said, now he is telling the truth, not only to be responsible to Miss Yun, but also to confess to the emperor at the risk of dissatisfaction, so the emperor can't say that he deceived the emperor, and has no reason to punish him.

After all, looking at Daliang, it is normal for men to fall in love.

If the emperor really wanted to punish him, that would be absurd.

Things have come to this point, what can the emperor do, Grand Master Yun is still here, he can't forcefully marry Bai Yan and Yun Qiyin.

After not getting the emperor's reaction for a long time, Bai Yan was also a little confused, but he never thought that it would reach this point, and the emperor still didn't give up the idea of ​​giving him a marriage.

"Since you are good Longyang, why don't you tell me which young master you like, you might as well say it."

Bai Yan felt helpless again, the emperor practiced Taoism, why did he want to marry him?

Could it be that he has cultivated a lot in Taoism, and even started to do old things, but... holding the red thread is not such a way of pulling, what should he say, the man he likes is by his side, but he can't open his mouth.

While slandering, he replied, "I don't have a man I like yet."

"Huh?" The emperor frowned slightly.

But before he could speak, Xiao Jiuqin suddenly rushed ahead to speak.

"Your Majesty, the subject has also reached the crown."

Bai Yan: "..." What the hell?I avoided it, because I was afraid that the emperor would play mandarin ducks indiscriminately, so why are you still rushing forward?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, this guy couldn't have fallen in love with that Yun Qiyin!Bai Yan's heart sank, it's over!

"You want to marry Qiyin?" The emperor frowned, he wanted to marry Bai Yan today, why did Xiao Jiuqin get in the way?

"It's not Yun Qiyin." Xiao Jiuqin was very straightforward, he didn't even know what Yun Qiyin looked like, why would he marry her?

"Then you..." The emperor suddenly felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, Xiao Jiuqin is not a tactful guy, he said loudly, "I'm also a broken sleeve!"

emperor:"……"

Bai Yan wished he could cover his face.

It's a mess, it's a total mess...

"Duanxiu," the emperor was startled by Xiao Jiuqin's voice, and he said slowly after a long while, "Duanxiu is good, good..." Shit.

"Bai Yan doesn't have a son he likes, you must have one, right?" The emperor thought for a while and asked tentatively.

In fact, he didn't have much hope, after all, according to Xiao Jiuqin's arrogant temperament, if he really liked someone, he would have snatched it back long ago, and there was no waiting for him to give him a marriage.

But who would have guessed that things are unpredictable, Xiao Jiuqin suddenly opened his mouth.

"The one you like is him." The next moment, he pointed to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan's eyelids twitched, it's over!
