Wu Zetian was surprised and said: "Oh? Daughter has a suitable candidate in mind, quickly tell me. "
Princess Taiping took another look at Yang Fan, and then her eyes swept past Shanghai Wan 'er's face. She saw the two's nervousness in her eyes and was extremely pleased. She was like a cat playing with a mouse under her claws, patiently and slowly said: "Mother, if I remember correctly, Miss Xiao Man is also an orphan with a miserable life."
"Xiao Man?"
Wu Zetian turned around and looked behind her. Niuniu was worried about Yang Fan and Shangguan Jiejie. She did not expect Princess Taiping to suddenly point the spearhead at her. She could not help but stare in astonishment.
Princess Taiping said: "Xiao Man is now Mother's bodyguard female official. Her rank is Duwei, which is not much lower than Yang Fan's. Whether it is family background, identity, or status, it can be said that they are well-matched. Moreover, one belongs to the cavalry and the other belongs to the internal guards. They are both Mother's most trusted guards. Mother, do you think this is a perfect match? "
Wei Tuan 'er immediately clapped her hands and praised: "Wonderful! Wonderful! What the Princess said is very reasonable. Why don't we agree that Xiao Man and Yang Fan are a match made in heaven? They look like a perfect match! "
"I … I …"
Niuniu's small mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. She opened and closed for a long time but could not say a word.
Wu Zetian clapped her hands and laughed: "Haha! Sure enough, it is indeed so. Well … Xiao Man, you don't need to be shy. A grown girl should get married. With Yang Fan's character, appearance, and official position, he is worthy to be your son-in-law. "
"I … everyone … minister …"
Niuniu was speechless. Wu Zetian only thought that she was a little shy. She laughed and teased her a bit. She then turned to Shanghai Wan'er and asked, "Wan'er, what do you think?"
Wan'er almost fainted. She forced herself to stand there. She heard Wu Zetian's voice, which seemed to come from far away. She forced herself to remain calm and replied mechanically, "Everyone is wise! Wan 'er … also feels that the two of them are … a perfect match! "
Yang Fan looked at Wan'er in surprise, not understanding why she would say that.
Gao Ying looked at Yang Fan, then at Xiao Mang, and suddenly felt happy.
Xiao Mang's life experience was very pitiful. For an illusory Elder Brother, she never thought about her future. She was strong and fragile. She was strong for her Elder Brother, but she was also fragile for her Elder Brother. She had never lived a good day for herself.
Erlang was the only man she liked and was close to. If she could marry Erlang, she would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life. Presumably, the shadow of her childhood would also gradually fade away. If the Emperor hadn't arranged the marriage like this, who knew how long Xiao Mang, this stubborn blockhead, would have tortured herself for her damned Elder Brother.
Thinking of this, Gao Ying's elegant eyebrows slightly curved.
Wu Zetian slapped the imperial table and loudly said: "Good! Then it's settled. I will personally arrange the marriage and bestow Xiao Man and Yang Fan as wives. Xiao Man is a female official by my side, and I am the matchmaker for this marriage. Since Yang Fan has no relatives in the capital, I have to be his bride's family. Wan'er, Tuan'er, all the wedding necessities will be paid for by the palace treasury. You two, arrange it for them, hahaha … "
Hearing this, Princess Taiping's mouth suddenly flashed a trace of a proud smile: "No matter how good a sister is, if her man is stolen by her, can they still be sisters? Humph! Not only will I separate you and Wan'er, I will also separate Wan'er and Xiao Man, this pair of good sisters! Yang Fan, if you make me unhappy, I will make you unhappy! "
…
Shi Guan, Wan'er's residence.
Wan'er used the excuse that she wanted to discuss his marriage with Yang Fan, and took him to her residence. As soon as they entered the room, Yang Fan, who had long been unable to bear it, angrily said: "Wan'er, why didn't you let me say it!"
"What do you want to say?"
Wan'er's face was pale, and she sadly looked at Yang Fan. She said: "I also did not expect that Taiping would make such a mess of matchmaking. But at that time, other than obeying, what else could we say?"
"She …"
Yang Fan wanted to say something, but stopped. He changed the topic and said: "Say what? I will directly tell the Emperor that the one I like is you, can't I? Why do you want to stop me? "
Wan'er sadly shook her head and said: "Erlang! You are so muddle-headed! If you say it, the two of us will be finished. "
Yang Fan said: "Why? Because my current status is still not good enough for you? "
Wan'er said: "Everyone values family status. If the family is not right, everyone will not allow it. But everyone's temperament is firm, and they will not tolerate the slightest bit of betrayal and disobedience. If she knew that we had an affair right under her nose, she would immediately issue an order to kill you! "
Yang Fan said: "Then what should we do now?"
Wan'er lowered her head and quietly said: "Xiao Man … is a good girl. Her character and appearance are not bad. To be able to have her as a wife, it is your good fortune. I heard that she bought a lot of property in the capital. Once she marries you, she will use all of it as a dowry. To you, it is also … "
Yang Fan listened impatiently. He grabbed her hands and asked: "I am saying, what about me and you?"
Wan'er raised her head to look at him. Her eyes were very confused. She was clearly looking at Yang Fan, but the focus of her eyes was not on his face. She said: "We … what else can we do? Erlang, this is a marriage bestowed by the Emperor. Can you refute it? "
"Then what about you?"
"I … I will not marry for the rest of my life."
As Wan'er spoke, two lines of tears streamed down her face.
Yang Fan said: "Wan'er, you are my woman! We swore that we must be together! "
Wan'er held back her tears and said: "Erlang, a marriage bestowed by the Emperor cannot be changed! A daughter bestowed by the Emperor must be a wife! Wan'er can give up her status and only ask to be with you. But … will my mother agree? My ancestor was the prime minister of the previous dynasty. The Shangguan family is a rich and powerful family in Guanlong. My ancestor offended the current Emperor. Although he was punished for this, and Wan'er entered the palace because of this, my family background has not changed. In these years, the Shangguan family has also risen again. Even if you become a general of the Yulin Guard, my mother and the entire Shangguan family will not allow me to marry as a concubine. "
Yang Fan gritted his teeth and said word by word: "A marriage bestowed by the Emperor! A marriage bestowed by the Emperor! What is so great about a marriage bestowed by the Emperor! "
He moved his hand, and Shangguan Wan'er threw herself into his embrace. Yang Fan held her slender waist tightly. He stared into her eyes and said in a low voice: "Wan'er, remember, you are my woman. You will always be! Our original discussion is still valid. I will work hard. One day, I will obtain a status that is worthy of you. I will let your family, your mother, accept me as a son-in-law! "
Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were blurred with tears. She said slowly: "But … but … a marriage bestowed by the Emperor …"
Yang Fan said resolutely: "Wan'er is mine, not any other man's! Nor will I stay alone for the rest of my life! If I want a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, then Wan'er will belong to me! I want the Emperor to bestow Wan'er to me! If this Emperor is not willing to bestow Wan'er to me, then I will find someone who is willing to bestow Wan'er to me to be the Emperor! "
Shangguan Wan'er was aghast and grabbed his hand tightly. She said nervously: "Langjun, what are you doing!"
Yang Fan said fiercely: "Since you call me Langjun, then listen to me obediently! A woman's way is not against the Master! "
Shangguan Wan'er said slowly: "You … You're so domineering …"
Before the word "Dao" could come out of her mouth, Yang Fan held the back of her head and deeply planted his lips on her little mouth that was wide open … ….
…
"Sister Xiaoman, congratulations, congratulations …"
Xie Xiaoman had just left Wu Cheng Hall. Seeing her coming, Shu Xiaosao came up to her with a smile.
Xie Xiaoman's face was full of panic. She answered hastily: "Oh! Oh, oh! I … I'm not feeling well. I'll go back first. Talk to you another day. "
Gao Ying, who had also just come off duty, followed beside her. She couldn't help but laugh when she saw her bewildered look.
"Congratulations, Sister Xiaoman. Congratulations, Sister Xiaoman. You've married a general!"
Zhou Yuanbao was talking and laughing with the two palace maids. When he saw Xie Xiaoman, he hurriedly ran over.
Xie Xiaoman was startled and panicked: "How did the news spread so fast?"
"Ah! I … I still have something to do. Talk to you later. "
Xie Xiaoman fled. She had only taken a few steps when she turned a corner of the hall and ran into Eunuch Gao.
Eunuch Gao first used his duck-like voice to let out a burst of laughter like a hen laying eggs. Then he congratulated: "Miss Xiaoman, your husband has to congratulate you here! Hahahaha … Erlang is a handsome young man. He has a good character and great skills. Now that he has become a general, he is really a good match for you, hahahaha … "
Eunuch Gao was old and had a certain position in the palace. Xiaoman couldn't just say a few perfunctory words and leave, so she had to bite the bullet and stand still.
Eunuch Gao beamed with joy: "It's rare for your husband to encounter such a thing in this palace. Hahahaha, a marriage arranged by the Emperor, how glorious! How glorious! Hahahaha … Both of you are your husband's acquaintances. I will definitely accept this gift, hahahaha … "
Xie Xiaoman had goosebumps from his laughter. She braced herself and smiled along the way, dealing with the palace maids and eunuchs who congratulated her as soon as they met. It was not easy for her to escape back to the female guards' camp in Jia City. The female guards who were not on duty were gathered together, like dozens of sparrows having a meeting, chattering non-stop.
As soon as they saw Butchie come back, dozens of sparrows flew over and surrounded her in the middle, talking all at once.
"Little Sister Xiao Man, congratulations on getting yourself a good husband!"
"Sister Xiaoman, you are so amazing!"
"County Captain! County Captain! I'm so jealous! "
Some of the bolder ones said something even more shocking: "Such a handsome Beta Persei boy, just looking at him makes people want to swallow their saliva. I have been drooling over him for a long time, but I never had the time to make a move. I didn't expect you to beat me to it. I have to call him brother-in-law in the future, how can I make a move on him!"
"Hehe, it should be easier for you to make a move on him, right? Sister-in-law is brother-in-law's half la … Cough, cough, cough … "
Before she could finish, she was strangled by the neck and let out a series of coughs.
Xiao Man's head was about to explode. She begged for mercy in distress, "Sisters, Xiao Man's head hurts so much. I want to rest. Let's talk after I rest!" Then she fled to her bedroom.
The female guards looked at each other: "What's wrong with Xiaoman?"
Gao Ying smiled and said: "She's probably too happy, I'll go see her!"
