Ye Ping was pulled by her father's arm, and when she saw the people outside, both father and daughter were stunned. Ye Geng was surprised why Wen Yu was here, and Ye Ping was surprised that Wen Yu came back at this hour.
"The prince of the county."
"The lower official has met Mr. Wen."
The father and daughter spoke almost in unison.
Wen Yu approached step by step, Ye Geng felt more and more unreal with every step he took. Looking at the person in front of him, and then at the daughter behind him, it was like a dream, let alone unreal.
Is it really not a dream?
"You're back." Ye Ping pretended to be happy, but in fact she was quite anxious. His Majesty's sudden offer of marriage, will this King Wen accept it frankly?
To her surprise, Wen Yu responded to her. Although it was just a word "um", it made her breathe a sigh of relief, inexplicably having the illusion of a conversation between an old husband and wife.
It must be because the night is too dark.
she thinks.
"My father was wronged," she said.
Ye Geng woke up at this time, this is not a dream.
"My lord, I have never accepted bribes or practiced private affairs. Please check it out!" He was in the prison of the criminal department, and it is reasonable to say that the case belongs to the criminal department's yamen. But Prince Wen is the supervisor of Tongtiantai, and has the right to supervise all cases inside and outside Beijing.
Wen Yu said: "I already know about your case. If it is really wronged, I will give you justice."
Ye Geng quickly thanked him.
Ye Ping heard this, but suddenly understood His Majesty's intention. No wonder His Majesty has been shelving the father's case after bestowing the marriage, it turned out to be waiting for Wen Yu to make a decision.
If Wen Yu accepts the marriage offer, his father will be fine. If Wen Yu hates marriage, then his father will be in danger. The so-called emperor's mind is really pervasive.
At this time, two guards received Wen Yu's order and came forward to cover Ye Geng's eyes. When Ye Geng heard that one of the guards said something offensive, he suddenly felt flattered. It turns out that prisoners under the rank will be treated like this, and it is because of his daughter's blessing.
So the marriage that Pingniang said is true!
But why Pingniang?
Although in his eyes his daughter is very good, but in the eyes of the world, Pingniang and Mrs. Wen are like clouds and mud in the sky and the earth. What does His Majesty mean? What does Prince Wen mean?
He pondered, confused, and was led away by the guards.
In the boundless night, in the empty yard, only Ye Ping and Wen Yu were left. Following the lights emanating from the house, across the half-dark night, it seemed that there was something flowing between them.
If it was said that Ye Ping's attitude towards this person before was that beauty is beautiful and she can only look at it from a distance, but now her attitude has become a little subtle because of the marriage.
It's like a rare and rare treasure that is out of reach, suddenly being offered to someone. This feeling is extremely subtle, a little unbelievable, and a little ecstatic. I am secretly delighted that the treasure I have been looking up to has become my own private property, and I can't wait to play with it.
"Does the county king know about the marriage?"
"Um."
Another um word.
fine.
The tone is normal enough.
"My little girl doesn't know why His Majesty gave the marriage suddenly, and I know that the king of the county must not want it. My little girl has read the imperial decree carefully, and it only says that the marriage is granted, and there is no engagement date. If the king of the county doesn't like it, you can keep delaying it. My little girl will never complain."
The sacred order cannot be violated, but it is not without loopholes to exploit. The emperor deliberately did not specify the date of marriage, which may have left a way out for his own nephew.
It's a temptation again, and it's holding back. I really don't know what the meaning of this marriage is. Could it be that His Majesty also knows that this nephew is born a bachelor, so he wants to give him a daughter-in-law?
"The wedding date is planned by the Ministry of Rituals, and we will know when the time comes."
Now Ye Ping gave an "hmm". In my heart, I was turning a thousand times, wondering what he meant by this? Are you really willing to fulfill the imperial decree and marry her?
That being the case, the state of the statement should still be stated, so as not to cause more troubles.
"Don't worry, the king, my daughter is self-aware. Even if she really marries into the princess mansion, she will never disturb you. My daughter is satisfied to see you often, and I have no other extravagant wishes."
The implication is that she is willing to only bear the title of princess of the county, and nothing else.
Hearing this, Wen Yu glanced at her with an unfathomable gaze,
"Didn't you say that if your heart pleases me, it will never change in this life?"
"Yes. The little girl likes the county king. The county king is more than Xingyue to the little girl. The little girl yearns for it in her heart and misses it day and night, but she dares not have the slightest blasphemous heart."
Wen Yu snorted coldly, then passed by her, and went straight into the room. She was stuck at the door, and she couldn't get in or out for a while.
Say goodbye, it seems something is wrong.
Come in, it's a little weird again.
Wen Yu inside the room took off his black cloak and cast a sidelong glance at her.
She was blessed in an instant, and stepped forward to take the cloak.
"The king of the county has worked hard all the way, rest early tonight."
She said flatteringly, showing a pleasing smile.
This smile is like a flower blooming silently, extremely thick and colorful. The bright colors smudge in the quiet room, just like spring waves. Those cherry-colored lips became more and more delicate under the light.
Ye Ping felt that the slender figure surrounded her, and the warm breath made her have nowhere to escape. Then she felt her lips sucked and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Wen Yu actually took the initiative to kiss her!
The first time is raw and the second time is familiar, this person seems to be much more proficient than the first time.
After an unknown amount of time, just when she felt that she was about to suffocate, she finally got relief. She took in big mouthfuls of breath, feeling that her **** was about to jump out of her chest cavity, and her lips were swollen badly.
A big hand was holding her back in Mosuo, extending down the spine inch by inch.
"Who do you think I am?"
"You are a noble county prince."
"With the status of the king of this county, why do you say that you provoke him?"
My God, it's time to settle old scores.
will die.
"Your Majesty, if you are dissatisfied with the marriage, you can give it to Your Majesty first. If you need my daughter to do something, I am willing to do my best..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a pain on his lips.
It was bitten.
"You know my tricks. If you dare to disagree with me, I will break your back and **** your legs, so that you can't go anywhere."
It's scary.
Ye Ping almost cried from fright.
Thinking of the miserable state of being paralyzed in bed and needing someone to wait on her with feces and urine, she felt chills all over her body. No matter how much you tremble, hold tightly to the person who threatens you.
"I won't run, I won't go anywhere. I like the prince, and I only have him in my heart. Even if I die, I will die in the arms of the prince."
"Very good."
…
The news of the marriage was spread wildly, from the south city to the north city, and then to the east and west cities. There are many civilians in the east and west cities, and the rumors are lively. There are many officials and nobles in the southern city and the northern city, and what they preach is the sacred heart behind the will.
All the princes and families were like water pouring into a frying pan, and there was a lot of exclamation. There was no rumor in the palace before, how could His Majesty grant the marriage for no reason?
Everyone was guessing His Majesty's intentions, waiting for Wen Yu's reaction after returning to Beijing.
The first thing Wen Yu did after he showed up was to state the crimes committed by Zhao Yuande, the Southern Water Transportation Department. Zhao Yuande has been in charge of water transportation for many years. Although his personal virtues have been criticized by others, his ability is outstanding, so the Zhao family is in full swing in the south of the Yangtze River.
The factions in the DPRK and China are intricate, and Zhao Yuande has been in the water transport for many years, so it is not easy to bring him down. Without absolute power and extraordinary means, it would be impossible to accomplish this in such a short period of time. His crimes are all well-documented, and he has been escorted back to Beijing from Bianzhou by Wen Yu. His Majesty was furious and demoted him to the end, and the Zhao family in Pingshan sat down together.
Zhao Yuande was questioned, and Yongchang City was in an uproar.
What shocked everyone even more was that the next thing Wen Yu did was to take over Ye Geng's case, and the trial was completed within half a day. The so-called witness testimony was false, and the student who gave the false testimony was deprived of his honor and expelled from the Imperial College. And the person who forged those letters was none other than Master Zhu who had been at odds with Ye Geng, and he had also been stripped of his official title and demoted to a concubine.
Such resolute action once again left the world dumbfounded.
What shocked everyone was not only Wen Yu's methods, but the two cases themselves. Everything is related to the future princess of the county, and it's hard not to suspect that he did it on purpose.
In this way, His Majesty's gift of marriage may not be without reason.
Ye Geng was released in the astonishment of the world, and returned home safely.
The family waited at the door to greet him, stepped over the brazier, sprinkled moxa water to dispel the moldy atmosphere of the prison, and then he took a bath and changed clothes under the service of Mrs. Ye.
The Ye family reunited, needless to say with joy and emotion.
This night is destined to be sleepless.
All of Beijing is the same.
Wen Ruqin sent someone to send a letter to Ye Ping, first expressing his incomparable joy, and his handwriting seemed to fly when he wrote the joy. Later, he said that he could not come to congratulate him in person, because his grandmother fell ill and had to wait for her sick. Ye Ping kept smiling at the beginning, but when she saw Mrs. Wen fell ill, the smile faded and turned into a thick sarcasm.
The next day, the reward from the palace was delivered to Ye's family.
The auspicious day falls on the sixth day of the next lunar month, so there is no rush.
Ye Geng has gone to the Imperial College to be on duty, and the family is full of female relatives and young children. The only males were the two Ye brothers who happened not to go to school today. As Ye Lian's eldest son, Ye Lian provoked the leader of welcoming and sending him off for the first time in his life.
Thinking of what happened that night, Ye Ping shivered inexplicably. In a trance, there was an illusion that the wolf was eager to eat the prey, and she herself was the prey.
Will that person torment her after marriage to avenge her repeated harassment?
Less than an hour after the reward from the palace came, the dowry from the Princess Mansion arrived.
The Ye family's yard is small, and the betrothal gifts are so piled up that it is impossible to get a foothold. The dazzling array of gold, silver and jade wares, and the glittering silk and satin made Sanxi Sixi and the others stare straight.
It is impossible to keep so many precious things in the yard all the time.
After discussing with Ye's mother and Ye's family, they decided to clean up a room and use it as a warehouse. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurried to work with their second granddaughter and a few girls, and the front yard was handed over to Ye Ping, Ye Lian and Ye Zheng brothers.
Ye was shuttling between the betrothal gifts, pacing slowly with hands behind his back, imitating Mr. Guo.
Nodding for a while, and stroking her chin pretendingly for a while, Ye Ping couldn't help laughing, and her tense mood improved a lot. She went to close the door with a smile, and was terrified when she saw the person outside the door.
How could this person come!
Wen Yu was dressed in a dark purple dress, with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the sleeves. With a golden crown and hair, a jade face and a cold face, the figure stands upright like a pine and bamboo, just like a **** descending from the sky.
Ye Ping's legs were weak, and she really wanted to pretend she didn't see it.
The two looked at each other for about half an hour.
Suddenly Wen Yu felt something pulling at the hem of his clothes, and looked down, only to see a child about one or three years old looking up at him with his white and fat face.
"You are the county prince?"
"Um."
This should be the youngest son of the Ye family, his brother-in-law.
Ye Zheng's black grape-like eyes are extremely bright, "You are so good-looking, as good-looking as my eldest sister. My eldest sister is a fairy, are you also a fairy?"
Wen Yu's eyes were like the wind, and it brushed past Ye Ping's body.
Fairy?
From his point of view, it's almost as good as a witch.
It confuses people and makes people addicted.
"I'm not a fairy."
His hands were stained with blood, and he passed through countless souls, so how could he be a god.
"It doesn't matter if you're not a god, we don't dislike you." Ye Zheng said seriously, with a very tolerant and magnanimous appearance, as if Wen Yu's ability to be the son-in-law of the Ye family is extremely important Cheap.
Ye Ping found out that her younger brother was a face control person. She was about to say something when she heard her younger brother asking: "Your Majesty, do you have any snacks at home?"
"have."
"Do you have osmanthus cake and crystal cake?"
So her little brother is not only a face control, but also a foodie.
"Both." Wen Yu said.
Ye Zheng's eyes brightened, "I like osmanthus cake, and I also like crystal cake. Do you like osmanthus cake or crystal cake?"
What the **** question is this. King Wen Jun, who has lived for two lifetimes, would never have dreamed that one day people would ask whether he likes sweet-scented osmanthus cake or crystal cake.
As expected of her younger brother, Xiao Si is quite courageous.
"Little Four, come here."
If we continued the chat, she was afraid that Xiao Si would anger the Prince Wen. She was going to hug her little brother, but she didn't want to hear her little brother say something amazing again.
"The eldest sister said that you are not old, so it is true. I thought the county king would be an old man."
She was shocked, and suddenly felt that the aura on Wen Yu's body had changed, and she thought that Xiaosi must have poked the county king's sore spot. She quickly picked up her little brother and covered the little kid's mouth by the way. Embarrassedly showing a smile, he looked at the man in front of him flatteringly.
"Tongyan Wuji, Tongyan Wuji, the county king forgives the crime. If the county king doesn't dislike it, come in and drink some tea."
Wen Yu restrained his aura and stepped into the door.
The yard is extremely small, so small that there are so many things that it is impossible to set foot.
Ye Ping lowered her head in a shy manner, her heart was full of surprises, what kind of betrothal gift did the well-behaved Wen Yu come over to give, and it was not that she didn't know what was going on with their Ye family, was it because she was afraid that she would run away?
She signaled Ye Lian to go to the backyard to call for someone with her eyes, and lead him to the main room.
The main room of the Ye family is not too big, with an incense table and a table of eight immortals in the middle, and a square bench under the table. On the left is a small table and two three-leaf chairs, and on the right is a screen for the Four Gentlemen.
Wen Yu seemed calm and calm, but in fact he followed the girl in green all the time. Seeing her bowing her head shyly, although she couldn't see her expression clearly, judging from her tense body, she seemed to be very nervous.
Soon, footsteps hurried.
When Mother Ye saw Wen Yu, her open-minded eyes immediately lit up.
Even if she travels all over the world, she thinks she has seen some things in the world, and with her dead husband Zhuyu in front of her, she is still amazed by the appearance of the man in front of her. With such an appearance, it's no wonder that the eldest granddaughter has deep-rooted love and is also suffering from lovesickness.
Wearing a dark purple brocade robe, she is really noble and handsome.
Unlike Brother Geng's father, who was dressed in blue or white all day long, and he said that dressing like a human being should be innocent. Pity her for buying bright clothes, which the pedantic man never wears.
If this Duke of Wen had put on a red dress, he would have been even more handsome.
Not to mention that he is still the prince of the county, but he is only white, and with this appearance, Mother Ye is extremely satisfied. With a smile all over his face, he first asked Wen Yu's family who was there, and then asked if there was anything the Ye family should prepare for the wedding date being set so urgently.
Mrs. Ye was anxious to hear that, King Wen's family background was well known in the capital, so could the mother-in-law be regarded as an ordinary young child?
Unexpectedly, Wen Yu returned one by one, although his tone was as cold as before, but his posture was quite low.
When Ye's mother discussed marriage with the Wang family in her early years, she was neither humble nor overbearing. At that time, the Wang family's nostrils were up to the sky, she just pretended not to see it. Just now she was prepared in her heart, no matter how approachable this future grandson-in-law is, she will be more and more satisfied the more she looks at it.
Thoughtful, she glanced at the eldest granddaughter standing behind her daughter-in-law.
Ye Ping was not surprised, but a little horrified.
Especially when she heard Wen Yu talking about the guests and the wedding specifications and invited Mrs. Chang to be Mrs. Quanfu, she thought she was listening to gossip about ghosts.
It is said in the world that he is ruthless, and has the means of lighting the sky lantern with the tailbone of the pipa, and bleeding the corpse ghost to open his mouth. And just a few days ago, this man threatened to break her back and **** her legs, but he didn't expect that he could be as considerate, humble and courteous as an ordinary son of an aristocratic family.
What the hell!
Is this still the Prince Wen who is known as the God of Jade Face?
Mother Ye is very satisfied, she is not only satisfied with Wen Yu's attitude, but the deep meaning behind this attitude. If he didn't care about her eldest granddaughter, the county prince wouldn't be so concerned. What made Mother Ye even more satisfied was that when Wen Yu said goodbye, if the Ye family needed anything, they could send someone to find him.
With his words, Mother Ye laughed from ear to ear.
"You really have a heart. It's not appropriate to call you the king of the county all the time. How about calling you Brother Yu?"
"The old lady is free to call me Brother Yu."
Mother Ye laughed so hard that she could see her teeth but couldn't see her eyes, and said three good words in a row. "I fell in love with you as soon as I saw you, so I'll call you Brother Yu from now on. The more you and Pingniang stand together, the more I look at them, the happier I am. They really are a pair of golden boy and jade girl made in heaven. Happy."
When Wen Yu heard this, his eyes moved slightly.
The girl stands under the eaves, forming a beautiful scene with the peach trees not far away. The willow waist and slender limbs are like a peach tree curling up. The wind blows the leaves, like the eyebrows and eyes curved.
Ye Ping lowered her head, feeling numb.
She said that her parents are people who follow the rules, and Xiaosi Yankong's temper does not know who she is. I didn't expect it to be inherited from another generation, but it turned out to be like a grandmother.
Seeing that she was standing still, Mother Ye gave her a pull.
"Pingniang, send Brother Yu off."
As he spoke, he secretly winked at her.
She couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to bite the bullet and send Wen Yu out.
"I'm not old." Wen Yu suddenly said.
Ye Ping was startled for a moment, and then said "Oh". It can't be seen that this cold-tempered county prince would care about being called old. So how old was he in his previous life?
"The king of the county is in the prime of his life, so he is naturally not old."
Flattery still has to be filmed, after all, one wears one's **** and does not wear one's ass.
Wen Yu glanced at her lightly. "I used to be two out of forty."
Forty-two is indeed not old.
Thinking about it, Ye Ping suddenly widened her eyes. What is Wen Yu doing? What is the intention of confessing such a thing to her inexplicably?
Is it because she is afraid that she thinks he is old?
How can this be!
She didn't know what to think, and replied, "My father is only forty-one this year."
As soon as the voice fell, I felt my scalp go numb. Hastily said the county king to go slowly, and then immediately closed the door. Leaning behind the door, her heart was beating hard.
She heard the sound of the carriage outside, and then the sound of the ruts going away. After a long time, she slowly let out a breath.
Maybe she shouldn't be afraid, the person who should be afraid should not be her. She met her grandmother's surprised eyes, first blinked playfully, and then smiled.
