389 You decide who you want to let go of.
Jian Zheng's body froze, thinking that he wanted his daughter.Although Xuan Yan is not young and her daughter is still young, it is inevitable that some flowers will go with the old cow when she gets married. Maybe marrying into the royal family may not be a bad thing for her daughter.
Even if you can't become the main concubine, you will definitely enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future as a side concubine. Xuan Yan is the son of the concubine, and he has a good relationship with His Majesty. Although there is no official in the court, he can He knows some Taoism and metaphysics, and can also make elixirs. After marrying his daughter off, he can be regarded as his father-in-law. Maybe he won't have to be so groveling in the future.
Besides, it is worth exchanging his daughter's life happiness for his prosperous official career. Jian Zheng rubbed his hands and showed a flattering smile: "It is my daughter's blessing to be able to serve the prince."
"If it is convenient for the prince, I will go back and have my daughter freshly dressed and sent to the prince. As for the date of becoming a concubine, I will naturally count it as a good day and a good hour, and I will inform the prince at that time."
With that said, Jian Zheng was about to bow and say goodbye with a smile on his face.
Listening to his endless words, Xuan Yan was stunned for a moment: "Serve this king?"
Xuan Yan's rhetorical tone made Jian Zheng's feet shiver. He looked at him nervously, waiting for what he would say next.
A contemptuous smile appeared on the corners of Xuan Yan's lips, and he covered his mouth with his hand, as if to hide the smile on his lips: "The supervisor has misunderstood what I mean."
He never said he wanted his daughter. With such a stupid father, his daughter might not be much better. What he hates most is stupid people who can't distinguish between boundaries.
Jian Zheng's smile froze and he swallowed narrowly. He didn't know what Xuan Yan meant, so he could only remain embarrassed and silent.
"Jian Zheng, please listen carefully. When you ask for rain, you naturally ask the gods from all walks of life. But do you think you and I can ask for help from the Dragon King? We can only ask the local river gods for help. When doing things, you know, you have to give gifts through the back door."
"As for this gift...dedicate your daughter to the river god, and it will be done."
After Xuan Yan finished speaking, he paused at the right time and looked at him.
"What?! River, River God...dedicate your daughter to River God?!"
This is to let his daughter die!
Jian Zheng looked pale, his eyes widened, his lips trembled and he could not speak.
Xuan Yan seemed very satisfied with his reaction and continued: "Your Majesty asked you to predict the weather the day after tomorrow, right? Well, there is a river connecting to the sky outside the city, and the river god there is the best to talk to."
"Wash your daughter clean, apply rouge and gouache, put a shiny South Sea pearl in her mouth, put on a bright red wedding dress, and send her into the river at midnight tomorrow, and it will be done."
"Remember, you must dress up before sending people over. Otherwise, if the River God feels that you are disrespectful to him, he will get angry and drown you, but it has nothing to do with me."
The more Jian Zheng listened, the colder he became. His face wrinkled into a ball, and his facial features were squeezed together. It was difficult to make a decision in his heart: "Your Majesty, is there no other way? My little girl has just gotten hairpins!"
At such a young age, as a biological father, he couldn't bear to do anything.
Xuan Yan looked at him indifferently and continued: "Okay, if you can't bear it, there are other ways."
Hope ignited in Jian Zheng's heart, and he immediately beamed with joy, waiting expectantly for the next step.
"I remember that you have a son? Is he a boy? If you don't want to give up your daughter, you can wash your son and throw it into the river for the river god to eat."
"Whether you choose a daughter or a son, you decide for yourself who you want to give up."
"Mu Feng, see off the guests!"
Xuan Yan stopped talking, closed his eyes and leaned on the soft couch.These subordinates did not allow him to worry too much and were picky. They would not share his worries and would only cause him trouble.He didn't know what was going on. Everything went wrong after he returned to the capital. If he hadn't been able to divine for himself, he would have figured out whether he had committed a crime recently or whether there was any evil spirit.
Qintian Supervisor was helpless, his head was drooping, his shoulders were hunched, and he walked out slowly with heavy steps.
After a while, Mu Feng came back and reported that the arrival had been sent out, and no one in the palace noticed.At the same time, he has been warned not to come to Changding Hall to disturb the prince's rest.
Xuan Yan blinked his eyes grimly: "Mu Feng, do you think the prison will send his daughter out, or his son? I heard that this daughter was born to him and his wife, and this son is The concubine beside him and the eldest lady is now the third aunt, so this time, there will be a good show."
……
Soon, it was the night before the competition. What was pleasant was that the sky was filled with red and pink sunset, which was extremely gorgeous. Zhuer pointed at the sky, pulled Qian Sui beside her and shouted happily: "Qian Sui." , as the saying goes, the sunset can travel a thousand miles without leaving the morning glow. Look at the red and pink sunset in the sky, there will definitely be no rain tomorrow! Yes! Rain!"
"Princess, tomorrow will definitely be a sunny day!"
Zhuer ran into the house and opened the window, letting Yun Yige look at the sky outside the window.She ran back and forth happily, spreading good news everywhere like a magpie, telling everyone she met that tomorrow would be sunny.
Qian Sui felt the remaining warmth in his palms, and his heart skipped a beat. He looked back and saw that girl Zhu'er was jumping around the princess, not noticing that she had held his hand just now.
Is this girl so unwilling to avoid suspicion?Or is it that, in her heart, he is already one of hers, so she is not so reserved in her treatment, and will be the first to share any happy or joyful things with him?
He must have weight in her heart.
Qian Sui felt warm in his heart and thought about bringing more delicious pastries and fashionable gadgets to Pearl when he came back from outside next time.
In the bedroom, looking at the sky outside the window, Yun Yige also felt relieved, Qin Tianjian, it's time for a big change this time, and those worms in the imperial court should be cleaned out.
She brought a bowl of soothing soup to Yun Jingzhu's bedroom. After watching him finish the bowl of soup, she told him to go to bed early. There was still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow.
The people in Qintian Prison are all veterans who have been in the officialdom for many years. Even if they lose in the competition, they will have countless excuses, and they may even shift the responsibility and dirty water to others. You must deal with it carefully and never fall into it. The other party's trap.
That night, everyone in Hades Palace fell asleep with peace of mind and joy. The gorgeous pink sunset on the horizon warmed everyone's hearts.
……
"Boom! Boom!"
Until the next morning, a thunderous "bang" woke up the sleeping people.
