Riding the Pheonix Chapter 262: Yuhuan
Mingwei followed the chamberlain out of the palace door and saw Mr. Ji waiting there. When he saw her coming out, he was visibly relieved: "What did the empress say?"
Ming Wei said: "The empress said that she wants to be a matchmaker for me."
"What?" Mr. Ji was shocked, "How good is this? You are already engaged!"
Ming Ming smiled slightly and continued the second half of the sentence: "I have already declined."
Master Ji was startled for a moment: "Is the queen not angry?"
"No. Don't worry, uncle, the imperial concubine is very kind. After hearing that I said we had an engagement, she just let it go."
Master Ji touched his chest: "That's good. You still observe filial piety now. When the period of filial piety is over, I will let you get married to Xiao Wu."
"Yes."
"Let's go back. It's time for your aunt and the others to worry."
"Yes."
……
The position of the Master of Xuandu Temple has been settled, and it’s time to return to the palace.
Concubine Pei was sitting in the Nuan Pavilion, while the palace people around her were busy packing their bags.
She looked down at the observatory in the painting and sighed, remembering what she had just said.
Hearing that she wanted to be a matchmaker for Mingwei, the emperor asked: "Oh? Who is the matchmaker for my concubine?"
Just as Concubine Pei was about to open her mouth, she heard Mingwei whisper: "I'm afraid my little daughter will live up to your mother's good wishes. My late mother made an engagement for me when I was young."
"..." Concubine Pei said, "Really?"
"Yes." Ming looked into her eyes with a smile, "The booking is for my uncle's cousin. Before my mother passed away, she said she would come to the capital to marry me. But now that we are observing filial piety, the marriage will have to wait until the filial piety period. Let’s talk about it later.”
Concubine Pei looked at her: "Have you thought about it?"
Ming smiled and nodded: "How dare you disobey your late mother's orders?"
Concubine Pei sighed and her smile faded a little: "This is a pity."
Ming smiled but said nothing.
Both parties obviously had no interest in continuing. Concubine Pei rewarded her with a pair of jade bracelets and asked her chamberlain to send her out.
The emperor looked at Mingwei's leaving figure, thoughtfully, and then asked Concubine Pei: "Who does your beloved concubine want to fulfill?"
Concubine Pei showed some helplessness: "Your Majesty knows, who else can I want to help?"
The emperor said: "She has a marriage contract, wouldn't this be true?"
Concubine Pei's expression was very indifferent: "In all these years, has he ever liked any girl? It can make him happy, so what if it is just what he says? I don't want to have this reputation as a concubine."
The emperor showed a distressed expression, stroked her shoulders, and said, "He will always meet a girl he falls in love with in the future." After a pause, he added, "Besides, this girl Ming is a bit complicated and may not be suitable for him. ."
Concubine Pei nodded, looking uninterested.
The emperor smiled and said: "She is not suitable, just find another one. He is not young anymore. Don't always leave your beloved concubine to him. Whose son marries the one he wants to marry? Isn't it all ordered by his parents? Are the elders taking care of it? Marquis Boling also mentioned to me before that he is not easy to control, and he wants us to take more control of him. It is also time to decide on the crown prince’s step-concubine. The third child has also reached the age of getting married, and he Without a mother, I can only ask my concubine to work harder."
Concubine Pei scolded: "Your Majesty knows that I am the most lazy person, yet you still push these things to me. Why not ask Concubine Hui to do it!"
"Concubine Hui is too soft-tempered and can't be controlled. There's nothing I can do about it..."
The emperor and the concubine started talking and laughing.
Concubine Pei finished her recollection and couldn't help but take out a jade ring from her arms.
The round jade ring has a simple shape. She pressed it lightly on the inside and opened the inconspicuous hidden button. The inside is uneven, but there is a word engraved on it.
Yan.
Concubine Pei lowered her eyes and rubbed them gently, her gaze was extremely gentle.
……
On the return journey of the Holy Emperor, after a short period of excitement, Xuandu Temple will once again practice hard practice behind closed doors.
There are too many dignitaries, and the Ji family cannot be ranked among them, so they can only wait at the back.
Ji Xiaowu pulled Mingwei to see the epiphyllum flower.
Duofu hugged the box and refused to let go: "Miss, I won this, it's so valuable!"
"I'll take a look, just take a look!" Ji Xiaowu begged for nothing, "What a blessing, dear sister, please!"
"No, what if it's broken? You can't look at it."
Ji Xiaowu had no choice but to pester Mingwei: "Cousin, let me take a look! I just want to see what it looks like."
Mingwei extended her palm to him.
Ji Xiaowu understood immediately and poured tea diligently: "Cousin, use tea."
Mingwei took a slow sip and put down the tea cup: "Thank you, open it and show it to him."
Ji Xiaowu was very happy, rubbing his hands and waiting to see: "Quick, quick, quick, what a blessing, open the box!"
Not far away, little Zhuer curled her lips in disgust, raised her head and said to Mr. Dong: "Mom, my uncle is so wretched like this!"
Ms. Dong flicked her forehead: "What's obscene? Don't just learn a word and use it randomly. Even if it's true, my uncle will be unhappy after hearing it."
Duofu confirmed again and again: "Miss, is it really okay?"
"Just take a look, I won't run away."
Duofu said: "But ginseng dolls can run away. Such a human thing must run away, right?"
Ming Wei was funny: "Don't worry, epiphyllum flowers don't do it, they don't have this attribute."
"Okay..."
Duofu carefully placed the box on the table, and the rest of the Ji family came over, curious to see what this treasure that the two immortals were fighting over looked like.
But, the box is opened...
"Hey, why is it just a stone?"
Mingwei said: "The Holy One ordered someone to take it out earlier. Didn't my cousin see it? It's just a stone."
Ji Ling looked at it for a while and said: "It's quite strange to look like this. It's self-generated clouds and mist, and it's quite a bit fairy-like."
Ji Xiaowu still refused to give up: "Epiphyllum flower, epiphyllum flower, shouldn't it be a flower?"
Ming smiled and said: "White lilacs are not flowers, so why should epiphyllum flowers be flowers?"
Ji Xiaowu felt like vomiting.
White lilac refers to sparrow droppings in Chinese medicine...
At this time, a little Taoist boy walked in: "Miss Ming, it's great that you are still here. My uncle said that there was something unclear about the previous horoscopes, and he wanted to discuss it with you. Can you please stay a little longer? ”
Mingwei looked at Mr. Ji.
Master Ji said kindly: "Since the Immortal has invited you, you can go. It will be a while before we leave, so we won't delay. ~IndoMTL.com~ Mingwei agreed and followed the Taoist boy out.
Ji Xiaowu also wanted to follow, but his father glared at him and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you agree to my apprenticeship? This will be my apprentice soon!"
Master Ji sneered: "You just want to be a disciple? Go back and prepare gifts, and dad will bring you to kowtow to the immortal. The master ceremony has officially passed. This is your disciple. Do you understand?"
Ji Xiaowu had no choice but to stay.
Over there, Mingwei left the guest courtyard and soon entered an incense hall.
What was waiting there was indeed Xuan Fei.
Ming walked over with a smile: "The immortal used the name of my uncle to trick me here. Could it be a tryst?"
Xuan Fei turned around and said calmly: "I am the child's uncle, how can I borrow someone else's name?"
Mingwei nodded and praised: "When the Immortal is angry, his voice becomes even better." ()
