Chapter 201 The Marriage Is My Own Part II
Chapter 201 Make your own decision about marriage (2)
Inside Yun Chen Hall.
Use a chess game to gain insight into the changes in the situation.
"Jiyue, you can talk now."
A black stone fell. Yuhuang looked at Yun Ji across from him. The black stone's offensive had surrounded a large area of white stones, and the white stones seemed to have no way out.
With a smile on his face, Yun Ji took the cup on the side and took a sip of tea, then picked up a white piece and dropped it to the other side without stopping.
Although the white ones in his camp were surrounded, because of this, the other side's Yuhuang's black ones had a gap, leaving him with a breakthrough point.
As soon as the white piece fell, the situation instantly changed from a low position to both sides once again taking sides.
In the end, the only way to win or lose is to see who can take control of the situation first.
Or it may be a win-win situation, which is still unclear.
"Uncle Huang asked Ji Yue to marry Su Rao. Uncle Huang did not hide his thoughts from General Su. Although you two did not say it explicitly, you both knew it.
Old General Su is loyal. Uncle Huang chose Jiyue for Princess Ronghua. Old General Su also listened to the order and believed in Jiyue's heart."
The offensive on the chessboard suddenly calmed down, and it was just a game of chess.
"It's just that the emperor's uncle, General Su, has a deep love for his son. He loves his grandson as much as his life. The same is true for the rest of the Su family.
Princess Ronghua is their weakness, yes, but she is also their armor. Princess Ronghua has been harmed several times because of her marriage, and they can no longer tolerate it."
Another sip of tea.
"The safety of Princess Ronghua is the key to the Su family's military power, rather than confining it to one place and controlling it in one's own hands."
The chess game finally ended in a draw. Yun Ji stood up and gently stroked Yuehua's sleeves, smiling softly:
"Uncle Huang must believe that with the relationship between A Jing and Yu Mo, and the friendship between Yun Ji and Yu Mo, the prince is safe, Princess Ronghua is fine, and the military power of the Su family is stable."
Yun Ji left, walked out of Yun Chen Palace, and looked up at the sky through the satin covering his eyes.
The drizzle seems to wash away the gloom of these days. After this rain, a rainbow will definitely appear.
It rained for half a day, but it didn't stop at the last moment. A colorful streak crossed from one end of the sky to the other, bending out the colorful rays of light and shining in the setting sun.
With such a glow, everyone is happy, but only one person has lost his soul.
He could live, but because of his imperial heart, he died in the fourth prince's house.
When he died of illness, he only had a young man beside him, and there was no mourning hall for the prince. Just because General Su didn't need any explanation, no one cared about his death, it was so quiet.
But in the eyes of the world, he was still imprisoned in the Fourth Prince's house for life and would never appear again.
Such confinement and death are inevitable.
As night fell, under the colorful night sky with stars shining after the rain, a figure in black robe appeared at the back door of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. He took off his cloak and revealed his face. The person who came was actually Yun Murui.
Yun Murui didn't go in, he just stood at the door for a quiet moment, then took his cloak and left without doing anything.
After Yun Murui left, another person came, also wearing a black cloak.
Looking at the direction the prince was leaving, Duke Zhao opened the back door and walked in.
Walking to the mourning hall, there was only a coffin, the fire in the stove became weak under the night, and there was only a young man kneeling on the futon.
Burning paper money.
"Alas!" With a slight sigh, Zhao Guogong took the incense and lit it, "If there is another life, wipe the bright spots on your eyes when you are reincarnated!"
After burning incense and worshiping, Duke Zhao also left.
Except for a few people with clear minds, no one knew about the illness of the fourth prince.
There was no mourning in the royal family, and there was only the peaceful and colorful atmosphere of the people living in Langjing City.
Early summer arrives.
Su Rao chose for herself the husband-in-law Mu Xiaohou of Yin Gonghou Mansion.
The intention is to deepen the relationship.
The Su family also followed Su Rao's wishes.
It's just that the Su family has not formally negotiated the marriage of their two children with the Yin Gonghou Mansion. On the royal side, Queen Yao first mentioned the prince's marriage to Emperor Yu.
The Miss Mu family was dignified, gentle, virtuous and kind. The birthday gift she painted made Empress Yao very happy.
According to the Queen's decree, she was adopted as the Crown Princess.
Emperor Yu agreed. Miss Mu's performance was excellent at the Shangyuan Festival banquet, and she was praised by Prince Jiyue. Emperor Yu would be very pleased if the prince married such a virtuous woman.
In early summer, when the warm wind blows and the willows grow luxuriantly, Yin Gonghou's mansion rises up overnight, and the red doorsteps seem to have been trampled and faded.
Although Yin Gonghou Mansion is related by marriage to the Su family and has very good relations with the Su family, the status of the two families is so different that it is difficult to compare them.
Throughout the ages, the titles of each dynasty have been clearly differentiated, including king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male. Among the six titles, the title of marquis is not bad, but it is difficult to compare with the title of king.
The Su family has always been loyal to the royal family and only obeys the emperor's orders. They have good relations with several in-laws, but they never help each other with the political bureaucracy. They make clear distinctions and never show favoritism.
The in-laws of the Su family were all upright families. Whether it was Su's mother's natal family, Yin Gonghou Mansion, or the natal families of Second Aunt Su and Third Aunt Su, although their status in the court was not high, they were all upright people.
When marrying a wife or daughter in the Su family, it doesn't matter their status, only their good conduct.
The Yin Gonghou Mansion is a family of good character.
Therefore, over the years, even though the Su family has become increasingly wealthy, the Yin Gonghou Mansion has never had this idea to take advantage of the Su family's rise.
…
In Mingyuewu, Yin Gonghou's Mansion, there is a curved weeping willow tree, lush and green, and a swing frame is placed under it. The weeping willow blocks the warm sun. The two daughters are swinging here, chatting privately.
"Sister Yue really likes Yun Murui so much. Ever since the Queen's decree came down, the smile on Sister Yue's face has never stopped for a moment."
Although he said this with a smile, there was a hidden sense of worry in his words.
Su Rao sat on the swing and turned to look at Mu Mingyue who was pushing the swing for her. She saw the shyness on her face that was no longer concealed, but also the deep joy of being able to marry the person of her dreams.
If the person Mu Mingyue liked was someone else, Su Rao would definitely be happy for her, but it happened to be Yun Murui.
With Mu Mingyue's gentle temperament, a person like Yun Murui would definitely scorn her if she tried to play with her. Yun Murui didn't marry Mu Mingyue just because he liked her.
"Sister Rao'er, in the past, I didn't dare to think or hope to marry His Highness the Crown Prince, but this great joy has hit my sister's head so suddenly. How can I not be happy?"
A gentle smile spread across her face, and she could no longer hide it between her brows and eyes, and her every frown and every smile was full of coquettishness.
"Your Highness is a dragon and a phoenix among people. If I can win His Highness's pity, my sister would like nothing more than to be by His side."
These words are filled with longing for a better life in the future, and I am deeply in love with my husband.
Su Rao was so shocked that she couldn't say anything.
The family of an emperor, and the position of crown prince, how can one person be single-minded?
The king's father was very affectionate towards his mother and concubines, but there were also many concubines in the harem.
What's more, it's Yun Murui who already has dozens of concubines in his harem.
What's more, why did he marry Mu Mingyue?
The Mu family and her Su family...
Marrying a girl from the Mu family is also equivalent to marrying a girl from the Su family and becoming an in-law to the Su family.
This must be Yun Murui's purpose. After several attempts on her, she was foiled, so he wanted to marry Mu Mingyue.
"Sister Yue is happy, Narao'er only hopes that Sister Yue will get her wish."
If Mu Mingyue didn't like Yun Murui, Su Rao had a hundred ways to ruin the marriage, but Mu Mingyue liked Yun Murui.
If she ruins this marriage, Sister Yue may never have such a smile in her life.
The moth knows that throwing itself into the fire will bring about its own destruction, but it has no hesitation.
Sister Yue might still marry her even if she knew how rich Yun Murui was.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
