[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 23 Children

19

It turned out that because of the sudden death of Prince Li Hong, Wu Minzhi asked to suspend his marriage with Xu.

Master Xu Yu naturally had no objection.

However, Master Xu Yu's wife, Mrs. Wang, was very upset.

This Wang family is the daughter of an offshoot of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and she is quite arrogant on weekdays. She originally looked down on the Wu family, and loves her only daughter very much. Naturally, Wu Minzhi's repeated requests to postpone the marriage Very displeased.

In fact, the two families are not considered in-laws until now.

Because although Wu Minzhi chose the Xu family before, Master Xu Yu might get married, but that was still a verbal matter. As for the basic steps of entrusting a matchmaker to propose a marriage, Wu Minzhi and the prospective princess Yang's family happened successively. The scandal and the sudden death of the prince...

Everyone is in a state of desperation, how can they find a matchmaker or propose a kiss!

Moreover, Wu Minzhi wanted to personally solve that Yang family for the sake of Li Hong's reputation...

Although this matter was just what Wu Min said, he didn't deliberately hide it. Many noble ladies in Chang'an City soon found out.

So, Mrs. Wang also knew!

This made Mrs. Wang very angry, and dragged his family husband to ask him to reject Mrs. Wu's marriage.

How could Master Xu Yu obey her, and her daughter also expressed her belief in Zhou Guogong's character, so Wang could only give up.

Afterwards, Mrs. Rong Guo's wife, Mrs. Yang, personally went to Xu's house to apologize, and Wang finally calmed down a little.

But who knows, a wave of ups and downs will rise again...

Just when the one-year anniversary of Emperor Xiaojing's death has passed, and the folks can resume marriage, another accident happened!

The daughter of the Yang family who once had an affair with Zhou Guogong actually claimed to be pregnant with Zhou Guogong's flesh and blood, and if she was not allowed to marry into Zhou Guogong's mansion, she would have to die!

Now not only Wang's was furious, but even Wu's mother was furious, and rushed directly to Yang's house to smash the field.

Yang Sijian really didn't know what evil he did in his previous life to raise such a cheating daughter.

Previously, his daughter was unwilling to enter the East Palace, and had an affair with Zhou Guogong, so he already had a feeling that a catastrophe was imminent.

Fortunately, Ersheng loves the crown prince very much, and he doesn't want Zhou Guogong's reputation to be damaged, so he firmly suppressed this scandal, and just kicked his daughter out of the concubine selection list...

Originally, as long as this matter waited for the limelight to pass, it would be fine.

Who would have thought that his daughter would not stop, and ran out several times to block people at Duke Zhou's mansion...

In the end, I heard that Zhou Guogong had decided to marry Xu's daughter as his wife.

Yang came back sad for a long time, finally quiet.

I thought this matter would be over like this, but who would have thought that the crown prince would pass away suddenly...

Because of this, Wu Minzhi postponed his marriage with Xu.

Then, suddenly one day, Yang Sijian heard his daughter tell him with certainty: Zhou Guogong will definitely marry her!

Yang Sijian originally thought that his second mother was delusional again, but seeing his daughter's belly getting bigger day by day, he knew something was wrong!

Erniang is pregnant with Wu Minzhi's child? !

How is this going? !

Everyone wanted to know how this child got here, especially Wu Xu and Li Xiaojiu.

Wu Xu was really going to die of anger.

Mother Wu rushed to Yang's mansion in a hurry to make a big fuss, but when she saw Yang's already big belly, and heard her tell a sentimental story, Mother Wu immediately lost her temper.

When I came back, I cried with Wu Xu.

Wu Xu was originally in a depressed mood, but when she heard that her nephew had made her daughter's belly bigger, she was so angry that she immediately brought Wu Minzhi back and scolded Wu Minzhi indiscriminately.

Wu Minzhi kept his face sullen and didn't say a word, and he didn't feel comfortable thinking about anything.

"Aniang, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here?" The Li Hong brothers and sisters who came back with Wu Minzhi obviously did not believe that Wu Minzhi would be the kind of person who starts to mess up and ends up abandoning.

Because Li Hong has been with Wu Minzhi's brother for many years, he is very sure of his character.

And Xiao Sanniang didn't think that her cousin was someone who would mess around with women at all.

Seeing that Li Hong was still helping Wu Minzhi to speak, Wu Xu was really angry: "She has a big belly, and the time and place she said are all right. If it wasn't Da Lang who did it, who else could it be?"

According to Yang's daughter, there are many people who testify that no matter whether Wu Minzhi has touched her or not, the child in her belly will not escape and will depend on Wu Minzhi!

"Didn't you say you never touched her?!" This is what Wu Xu was most confused about.

I heard before that Yang's daughter had chased and intercepted Wu Minzhi many times, which made Wu Minzhi feel a little embarrassed, and sometimes had to make false claims.At that time, Wu Xu admired this girl's courage, but now that she thinks about it, this girl is a bit too courageous, right?

How dare she rely on her family, Wu Dalang, as a cheap father!

Unexpectedly, after being silent for a long time, Wu Minzhi actually said: "That child should belong to my nephew..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at him in shock.

The expression on Wu Minzhi's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were as cold as a millennium's ice.

In the winter of the eighth year of Xianqing, Zhou Guogong Wu Minzhi got married in Chang'an, but the bride was not the daughter of the right minister Xu Yushi as the legend said before, but the daughter of Siwei Shaoqing Yang Sijian.

Many people in Chang'an already know the reasons for this, but those who have been in the upper circles for a long time naturally know what to say and what not to say, so the topic of Mrs. Zhou Guogong's replacement is not at all. .

All the newspapers simply published the news that Zhou Guogong was going to get married, and didn't even mention the family background of the Duke's wife.

The wedding that followed was much more low-key than everyone expected.

Mrs. Rong Guo only set up more than a dozen banquet tables in Zhou Guogong's mansion, entertaining Wu Minzhi's Shangfeng and his colleagues in the army, and did not even invite the Minister of Political Affairs.

On the contrary, Prince Li Xian made a special trip to sit at Duke Zhou's mansion, and brought congratulatory gifts from the Emperor and Empress Dowager and several princes and daughters by the way.

Another one is Mr. Li who came uninvited.

For some reason, Mr. Li seemed to be in a good mood that day, and his smile was much happier than that of Mr. Zhou Guogong, the groom's official.Even if someone dared to ask Mr. Li when he would invite them to a wedding wine, he didn't think it was disobedient.

Who in Chang'an doesn't know that Mr. Li Xianggong rebuilt the clan records back then, but he offended all the family names, and even threatened that even if the little lady in the family never married, he would not marry Li Sanlang.

Mr. Li, however, didn't care, and let out his words. He even insisted that the wife of a first-class family would not marry other princesses...

Now it's on the bar.

Therefore, for so many years, Xiao Li Xianggong has been one of the best golden bachelors in Chang'an City, but no official media dares to match him.

The aristocratic family is willing to marry their daughter to him in order to gain popularity, and Mr. Li doesn't care if he can't marry a wife, but he has a fierce fight with many top ladies in Jiaofang, who always lives in Chongwen Hall in the palace on weekdays. In the yard, there are many trivial things missing.

General Wu got married today, Mr. Li was supposed to have a drink at the woman's side (because Wu Minzhi's classmate didn't invite him at all), but he didn't know what happened to this Mr. Li, and he came over to the man's side.

The guests in the hall were all high-five and three-faced men in the army, and a handsome man with a handsome face came in vain. The noisy atmosphere suddenly became quiet like a ladle of cold water being poured on boiling water.

The person who greeted the guests was Wu Minzhi's deputy general. When he saw Mr. Li coming, he hurriedly invited him to the upper seat.

Mr. Li did not refuse, and after paying his respects to His Highness the Crown Prince, he sat down at the VIP table and drank from the wine cup by himself.

After a while, the bridegroom Wu Minzhi appeared in a red dress. He seemed to have just changed his clothes.

When everyone saw Wu Minzhi came back, they knew that the bride had already arrived outside the Duke's mansion. They originally wanted to tease the groom, but the young man's expression was very indifferent. Don't dare to be presumptuous.

"My minister pays homage to the prince..." Wu Minzhi bowed to the prince Li Xian, and then greeted Li Jingye, who came to drink the wedding wine on behalf of Mr. Li Ji, and only then did he see Mr. Li, who was also in scarlet clothes.

Wu Minzhi was stunned for a moment, then said to Li Sanlang with a cold face: "Minzhi is very honored to have Li Xianggong come to the humble house."

Li Sanlang smiled and said nothing, just raised the wine cup.

Wu Minzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he was about to speak, but he heard Prince Li Xian had already interjected: "Brother, the bride is about to fall, why don't you prepare?"

Just as he was talking, he heard the master of ceremonies shouting outside: "The bride is here——"

It means that the drums and music are beating together, and the cheers are like thunder.

I saw the bride in bright red slowly enter the hall with the support of two noble ladies...

Li Xian saw that his cousin didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't intend to go forward to meet the bride at all, so he pushed him quickly and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't forget what you said!"

Li Xian didn't seem to intend to avoid Li Sanlang's words, and after he finished speaking, he gave the latter a meaningful look.

What kind of person is Li Sanlang, how could he be angry with a boy who in his eyes didn't even have long hair, he just snorted and looked at the bride who was almost walking in front of Wu Minzhi...

It was mid-winter, and the wedding dress worn by the bride was very thick and gorgeous, and it was impossible to tell that the woman was pregnant.

Wu Minzhi stood opposite the bride with a blank face, and after paying the prostration, he directly lifted the bride's hijab.

Xi Niang, who was about to hand the scale to Wu Minzhi, couldn't help being stunned: Why doesn't Mr. Wu Lang play cards according to the rules!

A group of onlookers didn't care about this, and when they saw the bride's hijab was lifted, they immediately cheered.

At this time, the bride is still holding a round fan in her hand, and the fan just covers her face.

For a while, the crowd of onlookers started booing again, asking Wu Dalang to recite poems.

The Helan family is also a big family, with a profound family background, Wu Minzhi was smart since he was a child, so it is not difficult for him to recite poems and write poems.

What's more, today is the day of his junior high school entrance examination. If he wants to make the bride slap him, he must show his talents and recite a good poem.

Unexpectedly, the young Zhou Guogong had no intention of reciting poems at all, so he pulled behind him casually, and pulled Li Xianggong up, saying: "I have heard for a long time that Li Xianggong is good at writing poems in response to imperial edicts, so I have to work today..."
