Under the verbal marriage contract. " Pei Yun looked at his daughter and said with difficulty what he hadn't said for a long time.
"Marriage? Why didn't mother mention it?" Chunyuan was shocked, she never knew about it.
"Your uncle and grandfather both served under General Murong Kuo. I have known the late empress since I was a child. The late empress gave birth but her health did not improve. I often visited the palace. The late empress liked children. You were young at that time, rather His Royal Highness Wang is only one year older than you, and the Empress told me, why not get married. At that time, I just took it as a joke." Pei Yun recalled the past, and when he mentioned the close friend in his boudoir, his face showed sadness.
"Mother said it was a joke, so I shouldn't take it seriously." Chunyuan didn't take what his mother said about the verbal marriage contract to heart. He had never seen His Highness King Ning before, and now that his reputation has been lost, he couldn't take it seriously no matter what. .
Pei Yun looked at his daughter, if nothing happened to her being framed, she should be married to her now.It's a pity that good luck tricks people. A few days ago, when I inquired into my daughter's mind, I found that her daughter had already thought about not marrying for life. What should I do?With her daughter's current reputation, if she wanted to marry King Ning, it would be even more difficult to get the position of concubine.A few days ago, my father sent a letter from Yanzhou, saying that there were a few good sons under his command who hadn't married wives, and among them, the first and fifth grade generals had good temperament and appearance, and they were waiting for her consent, but now His Royal Highness Ning's attitude made her feel I was uneasy, so I didn't reply to Yanzhou for a long time.
So, wait some more time.

In the prime minister's mansion.
"King Ning sent someone to Chu's house today?" Cui Qishan stood in the courtyard with a folding fan, frowned, and asked Guan Yan beside him.
"Young Master, it's right." Guan Yan replied.
"Why go?"
"I heard that King Ning took care of him for the sake of the deceased General Chu."
"Well, it's true." Cui Qishan knew that Chu Zhen had worked in Suzhou before his death.
"Is there any news about Sanniang recently?" Cui Qishan asked.
"Third Lady went to Princess Xuanping's tea party today, but didn't participate in any activities."
"Well, wait a little longer and go down."
"Qishan, what are you doing in the courtyard?" A middle-aged man with an magnetic voice walked up to Cui Qishan.
"Father." Cui Qishan bowed and saluted.
"It's getting late, what are you doing here?" Cui Chongdao asked.
"It's nothing, my baby is just coming out to get some air." Cui Qishan had a smile on his face.
"How do you think about the matter of serving in the Ministry of Rites when my father told you?"
"Baby...baby..." Cui Qishan showed a look of embarrassment.
"What? Haven't you thought it through yet?" Cui Chongdao shouted with a stern look on his face.
"Baby...baby has no intention of official career." When Cui Qishan said this, his face was already flushed.
"Presumptuous, you are the future head of the Cui family. If you don't enter into an official career, how can you serve the family! You are engaged to the daughter of Song Guogong, and you must bear the future of the two houses." Cui Chongdao shouted.His son was smart and quick-witted since he was a child. He liked reading and attached great importance to emotions, but he had no power struggles, which troubled him quite a bit.
"Father~" Cui Qishan bit his lip, but didn't say anything else.
"If you go to work in the Ministry of Rites, father will allow your long-cherished woman to enter the mansion and allow her to be a noble concubine. Song Guogong will tell my father, are you willing?" Cui Chongdao threw out the bait.
Cui Qishan immediately showed joy, his father had always disapproved of his association with Sanniang, and Sanniang refused him a few days ago, probably because he was concerned about the Duke of Song's mansion, now that his father is speaking, the Duke of Song's mansion will definitely not embarrass Sanniang , and with my own care, the days to come will be better.Besides, the Ministry of Rites is just an idle job, and he knew that he would have to take this path sooner or later, so why not take this opportunity to accept it.
"My son is willing, and I will work in the Ministry of Rites in a few days." Cui Qishan said with joy in his heart.
Cui Chongdao nodded slightly satisfied. As long as he agrees to take up the post, he will train more in the future, and it will be even more difficult for him not to be an official in the future.

The news that Huheting, the ninth prince of Quanrong, is about to enter Beijing has spread throughout the court.
Sima Huai listened to Lu Yunfen's report at the palace.
"Arrive in about ten days?"
"If you go back to Your Highness, if there are no accidents, Huhe Pavilion will enter the capital early in the morning in ten days." Lu Yunfen looked at Sima Huai's gloomy and uncertain face.
"kindness."
"Your Highness, what will happen to Huweixie's head?"
"This matter needs to be decided by the emperor." Sima Huai said.
"What do you think, Your Highness, about the marriage proposal proposed by Huhe Ting?" Lu Yunfen gritted his teeth and asked, with a layer of hot sweat leaking from the corners of his forehead.
"It's absolutely impossible." Sima Huai replied cleanly.
"If the court... If it is agreed, Your Highness...how will you make a decision."
"Yun Fen, do you believe me? Marriage cannot stop the war. I have seen too many people on the border over the years. Don't you know the nature of the dog Rong people? Marriage is just an excuse for peace. This king will never let anyone A woman sacrifices herself!" Sima Huai looked at Lu Yunfen with burning eyes.
"Your Highness...Yunfen believes it!" Lu Yunfen's eyes were filled with tears, and the female general who made the enemy fearful was also moved by Sima Huai's sincerity.
"The achievements of my great Wei generals who were born and died at the border, why should those who just talk about it in Beijing and use the pretext of making love be able to pass it away!"
"Your Highness is wise, this is a victory poured with blood by our soldiers of the Great Wei."
"Retire if nothing happens."
"Yes, this subordinate is resigning." After getting a definite answer, Lu Yunfen left in a hurry, and she wanted to go back to Fenghuo Camp to convey the news.
From the moment Sima Huai entered the court of King Quanrong and beheaded Hu Weixie, the prairie wolf had already declined.Marriage is just an expedient measure for them.There are still four or five months, winter is coming, and this dog Rong's life may be difficult.
Tong Run made a pot of hot tea and brought it up.
Sima Huai picked up the green-glazed teacup, put it at eye level, looked at the rising heat, and said with a tinge of emptiness in his voice: "Ah Run, you said that if the father didn't pretend to be a prince at that time, would you? I have already gone to make a kiss during the ten-year appointment."
"His Royal Highness." Tong Run's voice trembled.He didn't dare to think about it if His Highness went down to get married...
"What?" Sima Huai asked, looking at Tong Run whose face was pale.
Sima Huai didn't know how lucky he was when Tong Run knew her identity as a woman, and how grateful he was for the decision of the former emperor.
"Your Highness, if there is no such thing, the late emperor has already made a decision." Tong Run pursed her lips, and a rare serious expression appeared on the baby's face.
"That's right, father had already made a decision at that time." Sima Huai drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

Great Wei Dynasty, Zhaowen seven years.The spring rain is like cotton, damp and cold.
Wearing a scarlet dragon robe, Emperor Zhaowen, Sima Yu, kept paced at the door of the delivery room, his face was full of worries. Whenever he heard the screams coming from the delivery room, Emperor Zhaowen's brows deepened a little, and his nails were hardened. Hardly embedded in the meat.
If it wasn't for the restrictions from his ancestors, he would have rushed into the delivery room immediately and embraced the one he loved deeply.
Qiyue... I will definitely protect you and the child!
Holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, An Yinian walked in through the side door with his body bowed. The blue-gray eunuch's uniform had already been soaked by the cold spring rain. He straightened his clothes, fearing that the moisture on his body would contaminate Emperor Zhaowen.
"Your Majesty, let's go to the side hall to rest for a while. The Queen's Empress is blessed in heaven, and she will surely give birth to the little prince safely." An Yinian bowed respectfully and stood beside Emperor Zhaowen, seeing that Emperor Zhaowen didn't respond and then disappeared without a trace. He held the oil-paper umbrella between his arms, and spoke firmly.
"It's better to be like this." Emperor Zhaowen glanced at him first, then shook his head, his frown did not relax because of An Yinian's comforting words, and his heart was still extremely anxious.
An Yinian secretly glanced at the door of the delivery room, and the screams in the delivery room slowly turned into soft sobs. He sighed in his heart, how could he who had served Emperor Zhaowen for many years since he was a child? Can you not know the worries of this young emperor.
"Are they still kneeling there?" Emperor Zhaowen asked without turning his head.
"Return to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qi, Li Taifu, Feng Yushi, Li Shangshu, and..." An Yinian understood, lowered his head, and reported the people kneeling in Zichen Hall one by one.
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Zhaowen.
"Enough, are these old thieves going to disobey my words? When my emperor's son comes to the world, I will demote them all to the border!!" Emperor Zhaowen's eyes were ruthless, his handsome face He was flushed with anger, surrounded by the pressure of the emperor.
The early spring season is already cold and cold, with the cold air that has not faded in the deep winter, coupled with the spring rain washing, the emperor's coercion, the air around the body seems to be condensed.
The maids and servants who stood waiting at the door of the delivery room knelt down with their heads on the ground.
"Your Majesty! Be careful, Your Majesty." An Yinian's eyes flashed with horror, and he also knelt on the ground with a plop.
Now the relationship between the aristocratic family and the royal family is delicate, if His Majesty's words reach their ears, the situation in the court will definitely change because of it.
Emperor Zhaowen glanced at An Yinian who was kneeling on the ground, then looked nervously at the red carved lacquered wooden door of the delivery room, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and pretended to be calm and said: "Yinian, get up, Chongdao What are you doing now?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, Cui Shangshu is also in Zichen Palace, but Cui Shangshu had a dispute with Prime Minister Qi and Li Taifu just now, and he should be angry now." Seeing that Emperor Zhaowen calmed down a little, An Yinian got up from the ground, Inform Emperor Zhaowen of the situation at that time.
"En." Emperor Zhaowen nodded, Cui Shangshu's reaction obviously satisfied Emperor Zhaowen.
An Yinian secretly observed Emperor Zhaowen's expression, and said cautiously: "Concubine Li Gui brought
