Chapter 1713 Princess
Xu Yi liked this kind of banquet full of human touch. No one talked about cultivation, no one talked about officialdom, sang about the wind and moon, or commented on the stories of the market. Some people got interested, recited a poem, and caressed the flute.
Most of the people in the seat came from the high gates of Huaixi, and they had their own elegance. For a while, the atmosphere was very good.
"Boss, please come here for a while. Over the past few years, you have been far away in Jiannan. You have made friends with all noble people and met all novelties. You may be able to tell us something."
Qiu Daoming joked.
When they first met, Xu Yi introduced himself, saying that he had left officialdom and was a guest in a chamber of commerce.
Everyone was not surprised. They all knew Xu Yi's temperament, and it was strange to know that this man had grown up in the officialdom.
Xu Yi was just thinking about what to say, when suddenly there was a loud noise, coming from the direction of the door.
Everyone rushed out, only to see that the gate and the entire courtyard wall connected to the gate had collapsed. Smoke and dust billowed, covering the sky and the sun.
Immediately, all the gravel and smoke were moved away using the skill of controlling objects with spiritual thoughts.
On the open ground, a large group of people appeared in front of everyone.
The man at first was an elder, wearing purple clothes and a golden crown. He was sitting on a golden carriage. His majestic eyes were fixed on Qu's father. Looking at their faces, the two of them were somewhat similar.
There were more than twenty people standing behind him, all of them were dressed in majestic appearance and were not dressed as guards.
There was only one young master in white robes who was standing side by side with the golden-crowned elder, sitting astride a divine Pegasus horse, with a green face, sometimes looking at the palace embroidery paintings, sometimes staring at Qu Ying, sometimes ferocious, sometimes lustful eyes.
"Brother!"
Qu's father stepped forward, called out, and then stopped.
The person who came was none other than Qu Mingtong, the head of the Qu family. He was the Weiyuan Bo of Shengting. He was honored as a noble by the Shengting. Except for Lu Zun, who was conferred the title of prince, all other titles had to be obtained through military merit. Although Qu Mingtong was only an earl, his status was comparable to that of Huaixi Mansion. The lord of a house.
This time, he was the one who took the lead in getting Qu Ying to be the assistant to Qu Feiyang, the Duke of Song Dynasty.
Song Guogong is the deputy road master of Chunhua Road. The current road master is devoted to pursuing Taoism and has no interest in government affairs. Therefore, although Song Guogong is only a duke, he is in charge of a fake royal title. His real power is the same as that of a road master.
And it is very likely that he will actually take over the position of Chunhua Road Master in the future.
It is precisely because Song Guogong has a bright future and the Song family is about to prosper, that Qu Mingtong will ignore the criticism of his tribe and outsiders and try his best to recruit Qu Ying to make Qu Feiyang a minor.
Qu Mingtong never expected that his usually submissive brother would dare to take the decision privately and secretly marry Qu Ying to Gong Xiuhua, a notorious and declining family.
What made him even more angry was that Qu Feiyang had informed him of the news. He bluntly said that he would not marry anyone other than Qu Ying and wanted an explanation from Qu Shibo.
For this reason, Qu Feiyang actually asked his father, Song Guogong, to personally communicate with Qu Ming.
Qu Mingtong hurried over and saw the red lanterns hanging high, full of joy. He was so angry that he had ruined the Gong family's reputation in the first place. At this moment, he saw Qu's father holding his neck, clearly not satisfied. He was willing to admit his mistake, which made him even more angry.
"Lao San, you are very good, very good!"
Qu Mingtong snorted coldly, "Come on, take the lady away for me."
"slow!"
Qu's mother said with a look on her face, "Uncle, what are you doing? Yingying is Junhua and I's flesh and blood. Uncle, you don't feel bad, but Junhua and I feel bad. This matter is not only a family matter, but also a matter for my family. There is no need for uncle to interfere." . Furthermore, Xiu Hua and Ying Ying have already given a formal ceremony, and the couple has become a couple, so why bother beating the couple?"
Qu's mother was from a good family, so she didn't need to follow everyone's rules, but she was so eager to protect her daughter that she couldn't care about anything else.
"Beat the mandarin ducks with a stick? What mandarin ducks? Who is Gong Xiuhua, what is his reputation, what kind of family? He may be worthy of my Qu family. Look at the crowd of congratulators, there is not even a third-level star official. If word spreads, I, Qu, Wouldn’t the family become a laughing stock?”
In full view of everyone, Qu's father and Qu's mother were so opposed. Qu Mingtong didn't want to do something too extreme and arouse ridicule, so he dismissed the two diners and pointed at the palace embroidered painting in auspicious clothes and said, "You want to marry my girl, okay. , let me introduce it to you."
As he spoke, he pointed at the middle-aged man with a green face and yellow clothes in the crowd, "This is Deputy Zhou of the Cleaning Department of Huaixi Prefecture, this is Baron Dongbo, and this is the head of Qingfeng Hall..."
Qu Mingtong pointed out more than ten people in succession, all of whom were prominent figures.
Every time, the palace congratulates relatives and friends, and warmly salutes and greets the people introduced by Qu Mingtong.
Occasionally, there is Qiu Daoming, the father-in-law of Fei Si and others.
Gong Xiuhua's handsome face turned as red as blood. If someone else had insulted him, he would have drawn his sword and stood up. However, the man in front of him was Qu Mingtong, Qu Ying's biological uncle. No matter how humiliated he was, he could not explode.
What's more, his past experiences have created his introverted and sensitive character, and his extreme self-esteem turned into extreme low self-esteem.
For a moment, he actually doubted whether he was too selfish in marrying Qu Ying.
"Next, the young talent I want to introduce solemnly, Qu Feiyang, the eldest son of Song Guogong, is only twenty-nine years old. He achieved the position of Yang Zun last month and will soon be the head of the palace."
Qu Mingtong praised with great enthusiasm, sometimes mixed with compliments from others, Qu Feiyang stared at Qu Ying tenderly, as if he was truly infatuated and deeply in love.
Qu Feiyang clasped his fists together, thanked everyone, and said to Qu Ying, "Yingying, you and I have a matchmaker's promise. I have informed my father of the sect master's order to marry you as the eldest son and concubine."
"This is true!"
Qu Mingtong's eyes burst into light.
He really didn't receive this news. If Qu Ying can be the crown prince and concubine, then the alliance between the Qu and Qu families will be completely stable.
Qu Feiyang smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true, but I don't know if Yingying is willing."
He never reported it to Song Guogong, but he was just making his own decision.
Although Qu Ying's appearance is beautiful, Qu Feiyang has seen many beauties and is not very stunning. He is just greedy for the dynamic and healthy body on her body, which he feels is more tempting than the weak and slender ones he has seen.
Especially the curve between the waist and hips, Qu Feiyang is unforgettable at first sight.
At this moment, Qu Ying was dressed in a beautiful dress, which made his heart move even more, especially because Qu Ying almost became someone else's woman. This feeling of almost losing her made him want to take Qu Ying into his arms immediately and play with her.
As for the so-called imperial concubine, he was just making random nonsense and coaxing Qu Mingtong to help him fight for it.
He didn't take the entire Qu family seriously at all, and he just had an obscene feeling towards Qu Ying, without any intention of being together.
"Yes, of course I am willing..."
Qu Mingtong simply lost his composure and glared at Qu's father and said, "What are you still doing? Why don't you take the girl back and embarrass her here?"
"Master!"
Qu Ying shouted coldly, "I have married into the palace family, so I am the wife of the palace family, and I am no longer a member of the Qu family. If the head of the family wants to force me to do so, just remove me from the family register."
