Chapter 160: can't wait to get married
To put it bluntly, no matter the former emperor or the current emperor, they all trusted the Nan family and their trust. Perhaps my mother was too worrying.
But the world is impermanent, and no one can guarantee whether they will still retain their original intentions in the future.
Pingnan Wang Nanyi's power was handed over to his daughter Nanjun. For a while, Pingnan's daughter Nanjun was very beautiful.
"Your Majesty, are you ready for the draft in March?"
In the imperial garden, Nan Jun and Shangguan Jin were sitting in the pavilion playing chess, and there were many charcoal pots burning around them, and they didn't feel cold at all.
Shangguan Jin's face froze, he tightened his hand holding the chess pieces, pursed his lips, and a look of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
"My sister also thinks that Jin'er must be drafted?"
Nan Jun raised his head in doubt, and when he saw the embarrassment in Shangguan Jin's eyes, he seemed to understand something.
The age when the love first opened is the most affectionate. At this time, Shangguan Jin is afraid that his heart is full of Du Shujing, and he can no longer tolerate others.
It's just that the emperor is different from others, whether it's for the sake of the ancestors' rules or to contain the previous dynasty, he can't allow her to marry only one person in her life.
"If the emperor doesn't want to, you can postpone it until next spring..."
Nan Jun put the white piece in his hand on the chessboard and said softly.
"Next year? Sister, do you mean that even if Jin'er can hide for a while, she won't be able to hide forever?"
A look of disappointment flashed in Shangguan Jin's eyes. How could she break his heart when she was in love with Du Shujing?
"Your Majesty, please remember that you are not only Shangguan Jin, but also the monarch of Feng Kingdom and the king of the people of the world.
You can have someone you love, but you can't ignore the etiquette of your ancestors, and you can't ignore the frailty of the emperor's heir.
If the emperor really liked it, he would have given him a child earlier so that he could stay by the emperor's side safely.
There can be many husbands and servants, but a husband can only have one..."
"Husband..."
Shangguan Jin's eyes lit up, he dropped the chess piece in his hand and grabbed Nan Jun's hand.
"Sister, Jin'er understands, if the draft is unavoidable, then Jin'er will make Du Shujing the empress, and let him live and die with Jin'er."
"However, Du Shijun has no merit for the country and no benefit for the emperor's heir. How can you stop the mouths of the officials if you rashly conferred the title?"
Shangguan Jin was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter, and embraced Nan Jun.
"Jin'er is lucky to have a sister."
After all, before Nan Jun could react, Shangguan Jin hurriedly got up and ran out.
Nan Jun's puzzled voice came from behind him: "The chess is only half played, where are you going?"
Shangguan Jin waved his hands without turning his head, and said loudly: "Jin'er is going to create an heir, so the chess...my sister can go and play by herself!"
Nan Jun's face froze, and he helped his forehead helplessly. This child was protected too well by the first emperor and queen since he was a child, so his mind is still a little pure.
Flicking his sleeves, Nan Jun also stood up.
The palace servant behind him couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, this chess...do you still play?"
Nan Jun imitated Shangguan Jin's appearance and waved her hands without looking back. She also had to go back and talk about Zhang Luo marrying that little man into the house...
On March 19th, the sun was shining and the weather was just right.
The emperor postponed the draft to next year on the grounds that the court was not stable and he was young. The courtiers wanted to object, but when Nan Jun stood up and shouted "Shang Shang Ying Ming", they had no choice but to shut their mouths again. I could only yell out against my will.
Although Shangguan Jin's face was calm, she was smiling in her heart. It was the first time she saw Nan Jun's expression of pretending to ignore under the scrutiny of everyone.
Unexpectedly, when the court came, Nan Jun took advantage of this to extort a large piece of warm jade from the Western Regions from Shangguan Jin, in order to comfort her heart after being stared at by all the ministers all morning.
Shangguan Jin looked at Nan Jun holding Nuanyu out of the palace with reluctance. She planned to use this jade to make a pair of jade pendants and jade hairpins for Jing Er!
Nan Jun hugged Nuan Yu and went straight back to the palace. Her mother, Nan Yi, personally made a jade pillow out of the Nuan Yu, and also inlaid many precious stones on the side, which was extravagant!
On March 20th, the sun was still shining brightly, but Nan Jun did not go to court for the first time.
Because today is the day when Prince Pingnan's daughter is engaged to the son of Qiao Xiang's family, the betrothal gift stretches throughout the streets of the capital, enviing all the young sons.
Qiao Yun sat in the room, full of anxiety, and Li Shi was angry and funny when he saw it.
"Are you so impatient to get married?"
Mrs. Li looked at Qiao Yun with a slight complaint, but the corner of her mouth was pampered.
"Dad doesn't like sister Yu?"
"Nan Shi Nu treats my son like a pearl like a treasure. Daddy is not satisfied anymore. It's just that Daddy doesn't want to part with you..."
He just couldn't bear to leave like a child who had been spoiled like an eyeball. Once a man got married, it would not be so convenient for him to go home.
"Dad, don't worry, even if Yun'er marries into the Nan family, she will come back to visit Daddy often."
"When you're married, how can you be as self-willed as before? Daddy thought that your sister would get married first, and then you would get married. I don't want you to be ahead of your sister."
Mrs. Li sighed helplessly. His daughter's delay in getting married was also a serious concern for him. Now that his son-in-law has not come in, and his son is about to marry again, he feels very uncomfortable.
"With my sister's current status, what kind of son do you want to marry? Daddy, relax, my sister will meet a husband who is worth cherishing, and Yun'er will not be too far away from Daddy."
Qiao Yun held Li Shi's hand tightly and comforted her.
The father and son are still talking about something here, while the Nan family has already entered the mansion with the dowry.
"My lord, son, Pingnan Wang's family has arrived at the hall with the dowry!"
Ah Liang hurried in, so excited that he even forgot to salute.
Qiao Yun got up in a panic, caressing the small gold medal in his hands unconsciously, the word "South" on it had been rubbed brightly in his palm.
"Hello, stay in the room, how can there be a man's family next to you when you get engaged?"
Li Shi got up with a smile, pushed Qiao Yun back on the soft couch, and ordered Ah Liang to take care of her, before rushing to the front yard.
Qiao Yun was restless, and when he thought that today was his engagement day, his little face couldn't help but get hot.
A pair of cool hands suddenly held Qiao Yun's hot face, and when he saw the person coming, he rushed forward.
"When did Sister Jun come? Ah Liang didn't even notify me."
Qiao Yun grabbed Nan Jun's neck, pursed his lips and said coquettishly.
"It's because you take things too seriously."
Nan Jun hugged Qiao Yun with one hand, sat down by himself, and let Qiao Yun sit on her lap.
"Sister Jun should be discussing marriage with mother in the front yard at this time?"
Qiao Yun played with Nan Jun's long hair hanging by his side, wrapping it around his fingers for a while, and letting go of it for a while, all those small movements showed his nervousness at the moment.
"Those things are discussed by their elders. I'm here to give you a betrothal gift."
