The three of them walked side by side, leading the way for the princess to enter the city. When the common people in Shanhai Pass heard that the Princess was going to marry the Heir Apparent of Ping Xi Wang, The streets were already crowded with people, competing to see what was going on. The city was decorated with lanterns, decorated with decorated archways and joyous banquets. Along the way, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers shook the heavens.
Song Qingshu, on the other hand, was carefully observing the terrain along the way. He silently estimated that the city wall was about fifteen meters high, and about seven or eight meters thick. It was indeed worthy of being called the world's most impregnable pass. In addition to the hundred thousand troops under Wu Sangui's command, no wonder he could stand on equal footing with Kangxi and Hongli, the three legs of a tripod.
After Wu Sangui received the news that the Princess was going to marry, he carried out a large scale construction project, he built an Anfu Garden, with lofty buildings and pavilions, showing the magnificence of a garden pavilion. Wu Sangui, father and son, led the Princess to Anfu Garden to rest first. After greeting the Princess through the curtain, they accompanied Song Qingshu and Wei Xiaobao, two people, to Ping Xi Wang Mansion.
Ping Xi Wang Mansion's magnificent pavilion with carved walls, red pavilion and jade-green pond, was not much different from the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace. A sumptuous banquet had already been prepared in the hall, all the civil and military officials under Ping Xi Wang's command had come to accompany them. Naturally the Imperial Envoy Minister Wei Xiaobao sat on the seat of honor, Song Qingshu and Wu Sangui sat on his left and right respectively to keep him company.
Wei Xiaobao's gaze swept around, but he did not see Ah Ke's figure. He could not help but feel disappointed, but he also understood that it was impossible for the womenfolk of the wangfu to come out and greet him, the imperial envoy.
He handed the imperial edict to Song QingShu, who was beside him, and motioned for him to read it. When he saw the confusion on Song QingShu's face, he quickly whispered, "Brother Song, this thing recognizes me, but I don't recognize it.
Song Qingshu showed an understanding smile. He held the imperial edict and read it aloud to the crowd. Now that his internal energy was profound, his voice was clear and full of energy. His words traveled far and wide. In the hall, Wu Sangui, father and son, as well as the civil and military officials, knelt down and listened attentively in absolute silence.
In the imperial edict, Ping Xi Wang was commended for his high merit, his great merit, his diligence in managing the imperial affairs, guarding the border, suppressing the barbarians. All the officers and soldiers under his command, all of them had made great contributions, they were all promoted one rank, and rewarded accordingly. When he finished reading the imperial edict, Wu Sangui kowtowed to the south and called out, "Respectfully thank Your Majesty's grace, long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" The hundreds of civil and military officials also called out together, "Respectfully thank Your Majesty's grace, long live Your Majesty!"
Sitting down again, after drinking three rounds of wine, Wu Sangui discussed the Princess' auspicious date with Wei Xiaobao, "The fourth of the next month is the ecliptic auspicious day, the wedding is a happy occasion, great luck and great profit. Wei Jueye, do you think these days are good? "
Wei Xiaobao knitted his brows, he was very unhappy; he thought, "As soon as the Princess is married to Wu Yingxiong, I can't be the fake son-in-law anymore." He said, "Isn't this a bit too rushed? The marriage of a princess is no small matter. Wangye, you have to make thorough preparations. To tell you the truth, this Princess is very favored by the Empress Dowager and His Majesty. If there is any carelessness, it will be very convenient for us as servants. "
Listening to him talking nonsense, Song Qingshu picked up his wine cup to block the smile on the corner of his lips; he laughed in his heart, "If it were before, it would not be a problem, but now that Jianning's identity as Mao Dongzhu's vile spawn has been exposed, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager are even eager for her to die, how can there be any favor left?"
Wu Sangui shivered; he thought, "You are deliberately making things difficult, or are you extorting or bribing?"
He laughed and said, "Yes, yes, it is all thanks to Wei Jueye's care. If there is anything we can't do, please instruct us, we will do our best to handle it. If the fourth of the next month is too rushed, then the tenth of the next month is also an excellent day, it does not conflict with the Princess and my son's horoscope, there will be no taboo at all. "
Wei Xiaobao wanted to refuse again, but Song Qingshu noticed the anger on Wu Sangui's face; hastily he tried to smooth things over, "Wangye, don't blame Wei Jueye for using all sorts of excuses to refuse, actually he has something that is weighing on his mind, he is too embarrassed to tell Wangye."
Wu Sangui was startled; he mused, "Could it be that he really wants to ask for a bribe? In front of hundreds of civil and military officials, his table manners are indeed too unsightly. "
Wei Xiaobao was also shocked; he quickly looked at Song Qingshu, his eyes were brimming with doubt, his heart was alarmed and bewildered, "What does Song Dage mean by this? Could it be that he wants to expose my fake son-in-law identity? I'm finished, I'm finished, this time Xiaobao is really going to become a human stick …"
Noticing Wei Xiaobao's deathly pale face, Song Qingshu was amused; he opened his mouth and said, "Actually, His Majesty is taking into consideration that Wei Jueye is still unmarried, he heard that Wangye has a daughter as beautiful as a flower and as fine as jade, so he intends to uphold justice for the two of them. Therefore, this time he sent the two of us here, not only to bestow marriage, but also to propose marriage."
As soon as Song Qingshu said this, everybody was shocked, Wei Xiaobao's heart was beating wildly. Looking at Song Qingshu, he was so moved that he almost cried; he thought, "Song Dage is really a good friend, if I can really marry Ah Ke, later on for his sake, I, Wei Xiaobao, will not even frown for a moment even if I have to go up a mountain of swords or go down a pot of oil. Even if he wants my wife, I won't hesitate … uh, Shuang 'er is out of the question, the rest is up to you … "
Wu Sangui's purple face suddenly turned black; he had always looked down on this little hoodlum Wei Xiaobao in his heart, and just now he had seen Wei Xiaobao's unsightly behavior, how could he be willing to marry his beloved daughter to Wei Xiaobao! Besides, he already had an idea in his heart, he was prepared to betroth Ah Ke to Prince Bao's Heir Apparent, Fu Kangan, so that he could seize the opportunity to form an alliance with Prince Bao, so that in the future they could fight against the imperial court together. It was even more impossible for him to allow Ah Ke to marry Wei Xiaobao.
His subordinates and trusted aides knew Wu Sangui's intention, one after another they turned their heads to look at Wu Sangui's expression. Wu Sangui was, after all, a seasoned veteran, very soon he calmed down from the initial shock. He stared at Song Qingshu and asked, "This marriage, I wonder if His Majesty has issued an imperial edict?"
"Oh, he did not." This was only an idea that Song Qingshu came up with on the spur of the moment, how could he possibly have Kangxi's imperial edict? Originally he was going to say that he wanted to summon Ah Ke to the Palace directly, but he was worried that Kangxi would fly into a rage out of humiliation afterward. Moreover, out of his own selfish consideration, he did not want Ah Ke to be sent to the Palace to be a concubine.
If Song Qingshu said that he was proposing on his behalf, first, his current status was not high, perhaps he would not be able to convince others. Second, considering how infatuated Wei Xiaobao was with Ah Ke, there was no guarantee that Wei Xiaobao would not be brainless and fall out with him, which would spoil the important matter instead. Therefore, he used Wei Xiaobao as a shield. Song Qingshu was very clear that in Ah Ke's heart she hated Wei Xiaobao very much, snatching someone from Wei Xiaobao's hand was a lot easier than snatching someone from Kangxi's hand.
Seeing Wu Sangui was suppressing his anger with great difficulty, Song Qingshu continued, "His Majesty also took into account that Wangye only has this much.
He has a daughter, he does not have the heart to directly issue an imperial edict to force Wangye. Therefore, he sent me to convey this message. As for the final decision, it will still be handed back to Wangye. "
Wu Sangui's face alternated between green and white. Everyone present stared at him, waiting to see how he would respond.
"Many thanks for Your Majesty's consideration for this subject," Wu Sangui first cupped his hands in salute towards the south, then continued, "It's not that this subject does not agree, it's just that my daughter has already been betrothed to Bao Qinwang's son, Fu Kangan. One daughter cannot serve two husbands, I can only let down Your Majesty's good intentions."
Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao looked as if he had lost his parents, his heart was extremely dispirited: It's over, it's over, my Ah Ke, how did you already become someone else's wife … No, no, Xiaobao, you must pull yourself together, laozi will be with you for the rest of my life, I'll be like a ghost that won't go away, I'll pester you until the end. Even if you marry eighteen times, the nineteenth time you'll still have to marry laozi.
Song Qingshu, on the other hand, was very calm, "I wonder if Wangye has ever exchanged engagement letters with Bao Qinwang?"
Wu Sangui hesitated for a moment, but still decided to tell the truth, "No." He only had this intention, he had not officially become in-laws with Bao Qinwang. As soon as he investigated this matter, it would be clear that Wu Sangui did not want to tell a lie. If the people of the imperial court caught hold of his weakness, although he was not that afraid of the crime of deceiving the ruler, it would still be a bit troublesome.
"Since there is no formal engagement ceremony, there is no harm for Wangye to reconsider Wei Daren a bit. He is very young, yet he already holds an important position in the government, this time His Majesty personally betrothed him, it can prove his boundless future prospects." Song Qingshu spoke neither too fast nor too slow, intentionally or unintentionally he used Kangxi to pressure Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui's face twitched, he hastily laughed and said, "Xiao Wang will consider it carefully, because I need to discuss it with Madame. In a few days I will give my answer to the two daren, how about it?"
"That's natural," Song Qingshu raised a cup of wine and said, "Come, come, come, let lowly official toast Wangye a cup." The original awkwardness and fear during the banquet was swept away completely, everybody sang praises of their merit and virtue, bragged and flattered, and then they parted in high spirits.
Wu Yingxiong personally escorted Wei Xiaobao back to Anfu Garden, and then they went to the main hall and sat down. With both hands, Wu Yingxiong presented two brocade boxes and said, "Here are some loose silver, I ask Wei Jueye and General Song to make do with it and keep it for your petty expenses. When Honorable Self returns to the north, Fu Wang has other intentions to repay Daren's hard work. "
Wei Xiaobao and Song Qingshu looked at each other; they laughed and said, "There is no need to be polite. When I left the Capital, His Majesty instructed me to say, 'Xiao Guizi, everybody says that Wu Sangui is a treacherous court official, you go and see with your own eyes, whether he is a loyal court official or a treacherous court official. You must watch carefully for me, don't make a mistake. 'I said,' Your Majesty may be at ease, your servant will open my eyes wide, I will see clearly from beginning to end. 'Ha ha, Xiao Wangye, whether he is loyal or treacherous, isn't it all depends on your mouth? "
Listening to him, Wu Yingxiong could not help but feeling angry inwardly, "Your Great Qing's rivers and mountains were single-handedly fought for you by my father. After the important matter has been settled, you forget kindness and violate justice, you come to investigate whether we, father and son, are loyal or treacherous. It seems that the Princess marrying us may not necessarily have any good intention. " He said, "We, father and son, are loyal and devoted, we handle affairs for His Majesty. Even if we become a dog or a horse, we cannot repay His Majesty's benevolence."
Seeing Wu Yingxiong was angry but did not dare to say anything, Song Qingshu sighed in his heart, "Wu Yingxiong's appearance is handsome, his steps are vigorous and vigorous, indeed he has the air of a son of a military family. It's a pity that he is still young, his self-restraint skill has not been cultivated to perfection; compared to Wu Sangui, who does not show his joy or anger on his face, he is far inferior. If he knew that during this period of time his fiancée has been toyed with by Wei Xiaobao in all kinds of positions, I wonder if he would still be able to endure? "
Wei Xiaobao propped up his leg and said, "That's right, I also know that you are the most loyal. If His Majesty did not trust you, he would not have secretly promised you. "
As soon as Wei Xiaobao heard this, he looked as if he had lost his parents, in his heart he was incessantly dismayed, "It's over, it's over, my Ah Ke, how could you have become someone else's wife … No, no, Xiaobao, you must pull yourself together, laozi is going to be with you for the rest of my life, I'm going to waste it, I'm like a ghost that won't go away, I'm going to pester you until the end. Even if you marry eighteen times, the nineteenth time you still have to marry laozi.
Song Qingshu, however, was very calm, "I wonder if Wangye has ever exchanged the engagement letter with Bao Qinwang?"
Wu Sangui hesitated for a moment, but in the end he decided to tell the truth, "I have not." He only had this intention, he and Bao Qinwang had not officially become in-laws. This matter would be clear once it was investigated, Wu Sangui did not want to tell a lie. If the people of the imperial court caught hold of his weakness, although he was not afraid of the crime of deceiving the ruler, it would still be a bit troublesome.

Wu Sangui's face twitched, he promptly laughed and said, "Xiao Wang will consider it carefully, because I need to discuss it with Madame. How about I give my answer to the two daren in a few days?"
"Of course," Song Qingshu raised a cup of wine and said, "Come, come, come, let lowly official offer a toast to Wangye." The original awkwardness and fear during the banquet was swept away completely, everybody sang praises of merit and virtue, bragged and fawned on the horse, and parted in high spirits.
Wu Yingxiong personally escorted Wei Xiaobao back to Anfu Garden, and then they went to the main hall and sat down.

You must watch carefully for me, don't make a mistake. 'I said,' Your Majesty may be at ease, your servant will open my eyes wide, I will see clearly from beginning to end. 'Ha ha, Xiao Wangye, whether he is loyal or treacherous, isn't it all depends on your mouth? "
Listening to him, Wu Yingxiong could not help but feeling angry inwardly, "Your Great Qing's rivers and mountains were single-handedly fought for you by my father. After the important matter has been settled, you forget kindness and violate justice, you come to investigate whether we, father and son, are loyal or treacherous. It seems that the Princess marrying us may not necessarily be out of good intention. " He said, "We, father and son, are loyal and devoted, we handle affairs for His Majesty. Even if we become dogs or horses, we still cannot repay His Majesty's benevolence."
Seeing Wu Yingxiong was angry but did not dare to say anything, Song Qingshu sighed in his heart, "Wu Yingxiong's appearance is handsome, his steps are vigorous and vigorous, indeed he has the demeanor of a son of a military family. It's a pity that he is still young, his self-restraint skill has not been cultivated to perfection; compared to Wu Sangui, who does not show his joy or anger on his face, he is far inferior. If he knew that during this period of time his fiancée has been toyed with by Wei Xiaobao in all kinds of positions, I wonder if he would still be able to endure? "
