After rebirth, she was forced to marry by the sickly prince.
Chapter 152 Chapter 152, he has a daughter?
Chapter 152 Chapter 152, he has a daughter?
The engagement banquet was held in Jinyang Houfu.
The city is full of dignitaries, and everyone who should be invited has come to the banquet.
For Mu Yunjiang, such an engagement banquet should be extremely honorable—an ordinary little concubine became the head of the county in one fell swoop, and was given a marriage to enter the lord's family.The emperor brought officials from the Ministry of Rites into the Marquis Mansion to preside over the engagement ceremony.
With such a wedding standard, usually only princes and princesses can get such treatment.
Such a marriage is definitely unique among the aristocratic families in Tiandu City.
When Xiao Qiyu came to the door, he saw that there was an endless stream of guests inside and outside the Hou Mansion. These distinguished guests were all well-dressed, smiling, saying "Congratulations", and clasped their fists in a bow.
He thought about it carefully, if Mu Yunjiang got engaged to him, the Jingbei Palace would not have a few guests.
Now, everyone knows that the relationship between the crown prince and King Jingbei is tense.
In this case, attending his banquet shows that you are in the same camp as him. Just ask, who dares to stand so blatantly?
One day when the crown prince ascends the throne, all those who are close to King Jingbei will surely have no future.
Marquis of Jinyang is different.
He does not set up factions, and his roots in the court are intricate, and there are too many people who have good friends with him.This time, his favorite youngest son was getting engaged again, so he held this engagement banquet extremely grandly.
"Third brother, you are here, sit inside!"
Dressed in a fine attire, the imposing Luo Xunyang smiled and said Yan Yan, who was receiving guests, and was in good spirits. When he saw Xiao Qiyu also coming to the banquet, he felt a little nervous for no reason.
Right now, what he is most afraid of is that during the engagement ceremony, if Xiao Qiyu comes to snatch the marriage on the spot, won't he be embarrassed?
But he still had a smile on his face.
Xiao Qiyu nodded, and said flatly: "Congratulations, I finally got what I wanted."
"Thank you third brother."
He returned the salute with a bright smile.
Only Xiao Qiyu knew how bitter he felt when he said these few words.
And Luo Xunyang's "thank you" was so hypocritical and polite - if he hadn't secretly communicated with his father and acted first, the ones who should be engaged at this moment might be him and Mu Yunjiang.
"Third brother, come here, I want to chat with you..."
Luo Xunyang dragged him to a tall building behind the wedding hall.
Here, apart from them, there is no one else, only the birds on the trees are chirping.
Standing on a high place, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Hou Mansion—you can have a panoramic view of the gongs and drums in the front yard.
At this moment, both of them were silent.
They were best brothers, but now they are caught in a sad and silent confrontation.This is probably the result they never dreamed of.
"What's the matter, tell me!"
It was Xiao Qiyu who broke the silence between the two.
"From today on, Ah Jiang is my fiancee, third brother, I hope you can let go in the future and stop pestering my bride..."
Luo Xunyang had a serious expression on his face: "Now, I would like to respect you as my third brother. In the future, I hope you will always be my third brother. I hope there will be no new conflicts between me and you..."
He really really didn't want to have any more conflicts with him.
Xiao Qiyu turned his head and stared at him faintly, and said lightly: "Xunyang, you were able to get engaged this time because you cheated, so I won't guarantee what will happen in the future?
"Today, I just want to say something to you: I will not mess around, and I will respect her wishes. But one day, let me know that you made things difficult for her. Xunyang, I will let you know my means."
Luo Xunyang's face darkened when he heard this, and his heart tightened:
Is the third brother going to fight him?
To speak so harshly.
It turned out that the third brother who was sincerely moved would also become a beauty in anger.
He unconsciously pursed his lips: "Third Brother, that's not right, King Jingbei, Third Prince, then I will say a word: I will not give you a chance to take her away. In this life, she will be my bride. If you fight with me, I will fight with all my strength. I will never give in."
For the first time in so many years, he longed for someone so much.Therefore, he can only tear himself apart with the third brother.
Xiao Qiyu stopped talking, but turned and left.
Luo Xunyang stood on the spot, his face gradually showing sadness. From now on, he would no longer have a third brother—the place in his heart suddenly became empty.
*
On the other side, Xiao Qiyu sat back in his seat.
His expression was in a trance. During this period, he was restless and wanted to drink. He poured a glass to drink, but found that it was not wine, but sweet soup.
With bitterness in his heart, he found another jug of wine, poured one, and was about to drink, but was held down by Mu Yuntao.
"My lord, you can't drink alcohol, you can only drink sweet soup or warm water. Xiaoqi specially told you before, if you come, let me watch you, absolutely don't drink alcohol. Alcohol will hurt your body, for your early health, You must follow the doctor's orders..."
Mu Yuntao murmured in his ear.
Xiao Qiyu's eyes flickered.
Heh, you are about to marry someone else as a bride, and you still care about his life?
She is really wide enough.
But only because she is his doctor.
Thinking of this, he found that his heart was getting more and more bitter, but he didn't want to drink any more, but drank a few mouthfuls of sweet soup, but the taste couldn't bear the bitterness at all.
"Yuntao, go and tell her: I want to see her, I have something to ask... Please come to Ruyixuan to meet her..."
He asked Mu Yuntao to pass on the message.
Mu Yuntao was stunned, thinking of what Yan Wuhen said before: "Your Highness likes your seventh girl, but I hate that the emperor messes with mandarin ducks, and missed His Highness's good fate..."
Seeing that His Highness is in a bad mood now, it seems to be true, but His Highness wants to have a husband and wife in private, this is not appropriate!
If it is spread, it is an insult to a woman's reputation.
As a real brother, he must defend his sister's reputation.
But he still ran to spread the word, and quietly dragged Xiao Qi to a place where there was no one else.
Mu Yunjiang was silent for a while, and replied: "Understood, I will handle this matter..."
*
At the end of the engagement banquet, it was already the top of willows on the moon.
Xiao Qiyu was alone under the willow tree outside the gate of Jinyang Hou's mansion, seeing the female family members of the Mu family coming out of it, smiling, speaking softly, extremely gentle.
Mu Yunjiang was dressed very beautifully today, with a charming smile and beautiful eyes, while Luo Xunyang, the groom-to-be, bid farewell to her by the side.
Luo Xunyang said with a pleasant face: "A-Jiang, I will bring some interesting things to you tomorrow, and you will definitely like them after reading them."
Mu Yunjiang whispered a few words in Luo Xunyang's ear.
The two looked like a couple of gods and gods, they really matched each other.
Soon, the female relatives got into the car.
Mu Yuntao drove the car himself.
The carriage passed by Xiao Qiyu.
Just in time, Mu Yunjiang lifted the curtain and looked out, and happened to meet his deep eyes, and the next second, she hung up the curtain.
Now that she has made a promise to others, she naturally wants to avoid suspicion in front of others...
Xiao Qiyu followed and left, heading for Ruyixuan.
Walking halfway, someone chased after him, the speed was like a gust of wind——The person who came was a martial arts master with excellent lightness kungfu.
Xiao Qiyu thought it was Mu Yunjiang who came, so he reined in Xue Congma, and when he turned his head to look, he found that it was Su Yue who came, but Mu Yunjiang was not there.
"I have seen the king."
Su Yue bowed respectfully.
He glanced in that direction again: "Is your girl not here?"
"The girl didn't come, let Suyue say something back."
His heart sank: "Say."
"The girl said: I've already been married. In the future, if it's not necessary, please don't ask for an imperial edict. I will do my best to thoroughly investigate what His Highness is investigating. Su Yue will forward the case to you if you find anything..."
She recounted the girl's original words without changing the words.
Xiao Qiyu's eyes flickered slightly.
Su Yue didn't say anything else, turned around and left.
Asuo heard it, and looked at His Highness worriedly. Miss Seven wanted to avoid suspicion: "Your Highness, are you still going to Ruyi Xuan?"
"Go."
He responded calmly, his heart in a mess.
Actually, she was right.
She is engaged and should not see him in private anymore.
The problem is, she is the kind of person who regards all etiquette as nothing, otherwise, she would not have asked Su Yue to lead him to her boudoir quietly before.
If a man and a woman have a private meeting before marriage, then they have an affair, then she should marry herself.The two of them had long been intimate with each other, and even slept together in the same bed.
So, now that she doesn't want to see him, it's not that she suddenly cares about etiquette, but that she doesn't want to see him.
It was this knowledge that made him depressed.
Thinking so, Xiao Qiyu drove all the way to Ruyixuan.
A pair of bright lanterns hung at the gate of Ruyi Xuan, and he couldn't help but think of those few days when he and her were intimate here.
Everything is like a dream.
With a secret sigh, he got off his horse and was about to knock on the door, which opened.
Aunt Yue led a cute little girl, about five or six years old, and walked out together. The two were talking and laughing. It seemed that they were going to visit the night market.
Aunt Yue went to Chentang Pass before, why did she bring back the little baby?
"Hey, it's Daddy, Daddy, you're finally back... Huanhuan wants to kill you..."
The child carved in pink and jade actually rushed over and hugged his thigh, and softly called "Daddy"...
Asuo almost stumbled when he saw it:
Someone actually recognized His Highness as his father?
Your Highness, when did you get into romantic debt?
Xiao Qiyu who was being hugged was dazed, and looked down at this cute and lovely girl. Her facial features were picturesque on her small face, her big eyes flashed with anticipation, and it was really hard to bear to pour cold water on her.
However, this cold water still needs to be splashed. When his big palm was caressing the top of the child's hair, he said softly:
"Little baby, did you recognize the wrong person? I'm not your father! Aunt Yue, where did you get this child? She looks really pretty..."
It makes people feel inexplicable love in their hearts.
The little baby immediately pursed her pink mouth, and yelled aggrievedly: "Daddy, how could you forget me? I'm your sweetheart, Huanhuan..."
Xiao Qiyu: "..."
He was sure that he had never slept with a woman, how could he have such a big daughter?
But facing the child's earnest gaze, he couldn't bear to hurt her: "Aunt Yue, what's going on?"
"As you have heard, this is your daughter Xiao Qinghuan. You were the one who brought it back from Cangjing."
Aunt Yue looked at the master, and what she said surprised him: "When did this happen, why don't I know?"
"Before you went to quell the chaos, you asked Su Hui to go to Cangjing. Don't you remember this?"
Aunt Yue reminded her, and when she saw that His Highness was still confused, she hurriedly called out: "Su Hui, Su Hui, come out..."
"I'm coming."
A guard came running to respond to the call, and when he saw Xiao Qiyu, he was overjoyed and knelt down and replied: "Your Highness, Su Hui has been ordered to bring Miss Qing Huan back."
Uh, is there such a thing?
How could he not remember at all.
"What did I tell you then?"
Xiao Qiyu questioned him carefully.
"Your Highness just said, let me go to Cangjing, find the old man guarding the boundary, and bring back a five or six-year-old girl to live in Ruyixuan. From now on, the task of my subordinate Su Hui is to ensure Miss Qing Huan's safety." Be safe. Don't leave Miss Qing Huan an inch away."
Su Hui looked at the bewildered Highness, feeling a little anxious for no reason: "You...don't remember anything?"
Xiao Qiyu had no impression at all: "What time is it?"
"Just before you go to the East Palace to rescue Mu Yuntao who was almost killed by the crown prince..."
Su Hui recalled the time.
Now, Xiao Qiyu finally figured it out, it was made by another person, so, this child is really his daughter?
He's going crazy!
There was an extra daughter for no reason.
"Okay, I see. You guys go down first! Let me chat with this kid alone..."
Suppressing the messy emotions in his heart, he let them all go down, and he bent down to pick up the child who was stuck to him, and went to the study.
The study room was dark and full of lights.
Xiao Qiyu lit seven or eight candles, and the surroundings suddenly became as bright as day.
"Daddy!"
The child followed, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and blinked his beautiful big eyes.
"Come on, come here! Let me see you."
Xiao Qiyu picked her up and sat on the desk, while he himself sat on the chair, looking deeply at this beautiful child who was so dazed.
That silhouette was so resembling... Mu Yunjiang.
Could it be that the child is...
Thinking of this in his heart, his feelings suddenly became complicated.
"Daddy, do you really not remember me?"
Xiao Qinghuan asked sullenly.
Xiao Qiyu asked without answering: "Is your name Qing Huan?"
"Yes!"
"Who gave you the name?"
"My mother!"
Very good, we have come to the key point.
"Who is your mother?"
Xiao Qiyu's eyes were burning, waiting for an answer.
"Mu Yunjiang, the seventh daughter of the second wife of the Mu family, Mu Yunjiang who was later named the princess of the county."
Xiao Qinghuan exposed all her mother's old background.
Female county princess?
His eyelids twitched violently a few times, so, in her previous life, she was actually a female official?
And the officer is quite big.
No wonder she now has the aura of an important court official in everything she does—usually she is very old if she can be a public minister, but seeing Huanhuan's age, when Mu Yunjiang sits on such a high official, she should Still very young.
She is truly an amazing woman.
"Okay, I see. Now, please Huanhuan tell daddy what happened between you and your mother. Your mother is only 15 years old. Also, how did you get here?"
He had to figure this out thoroughly.
This chapter has words, see you tomorrow!
