Chapter 393: Granted Marriage 1
When the emperor was ill and had a violent temper, the concubines hid and dared not show up. They were afraid that the emperor would vent his anger on them. Now that the emperor's health has begun to improve, they are all dressed up to flatter him.
No wonder the emperor doesn't want to see them!
Queen Wei is still the best. She treats the emperor with sincerity. From beginning to end, she is consistent. It is natural that the emperor favors Queen Wei.
While thinking, Eunuch Ding walked back to the bedroom and respectfully reported what happened just now.
The emperor was obviously not interested in the performance of the concubines, and he hummed indifferently.
Queen Wei smiled and handed the spoon to the emperor's lips, saying softly: "Your Majesty, if you don't drink this medicine, it will get cold."
The emperor's expression immediately softened a lot, and he obediently opened his mouth to drink the medicine.
When a person is sick, he is much more fragile than usual. The emperor is no exception.
He lay on the bed all day, unable to move his body, and had no strength to speak. At such times, people will become more and more dependent on the people around them.
The emperor originally favored Queen Wei, and now this favor is more trusting and attached.
After drinking the medicine, Queen Wei personally helped the emperor sit up straight, and ordered people to pull open the heavy curtains and open two windows. The bedroom suddenly had more sunlight, and the warm breeze blew in.
The emperor was in a good mood today, and said with a smile: "I have been lying in bed for several months, missing the spring scenery, and now I can't even enjoy the scenery of the lotus fragrance in the pond."
Queen Wei pursed her lips and smiled: "The emperor's dragon body is getting better day by day. In autumn, maybe he can get out of bed and walk. At that time, I will accompany the emperor to the imperial garden to enjoy the autumn scenery."
The emperor laughed: "Okay, then the queen and I have a deal."
Although the emperor knew that he would probably never have such a day, he would feel happier when he said this.
"Your Majesty, it's time for acupuncture today." Wei Yan came over with a medicine box: "I will give you acupuncture now."
The emperor smiled and nodded.
In the past few months, acupuncture has been given every day. Inevitably, many blue bruises have fallen on the emperor's body, which is quite shocking.
Wei Yan ignored it and moved the needle quickly.
The process of acupuncture is inevitably painful. The emperor frowned, but did not say a word.
When the acupuncture was over, the emperor's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Queen Wei hurriedly wiped the sweat off the emperor with a soft silk handkerchief. There was still a faint fragrance on the silk handkerchief, which was the lily fragrance that Queen Wei was used to.
The emperor exhaled a long breath and opened his eyes. What caught his eyes was the concerned look of Queen Wei: "Does the emperor feel better now?"
The emperor calmed down and smiled casually: "It's much better now. Wei Yan's acupuncture skills are getting better and better."
Queen Wei's status is different now, and Wei Yan is also a legitimate uncle of the emperor. The emperor treated Wei Yan more intimately and casually, no longer calling him Doctor Wei, but calling him by his name.
Wei Yan immediately modestly said: "I don't dare to be praised by the emperor."
"Yes, the emperor should stop praising him. Otherwise, he will become arrogant." Queen Wei smiled and glanced at her brother, but her eyes were full of pride.
The emperor saw it and couldn't help laughing: "I just praised him with my mouth, but the queen praised it on her face."
Queen Wei said a few coquettish words: "The emperor is making fun of me again! I only have this one brother, who else can I love if I don't love him?"
The emperor was amused and laughed.
It was quite a leisurely and comfortable family atmosphere of laughing and joking.
…
Wei Yan abided by his duty as a minister and didn't say much, just stood aside with a smile.
The emperor looked at Wei Yan and suddenly asked with a smile: "If I am not mistaken, Wei Yan is 27 years old this year!"
Why did the emperor mention Wei Yan's age for no reason?
Queen Wei's heart moved, and she smiled and replied: "Your Majesty has a good memory. A Yan is indeed 27 years old this year."
After a pause, she sighed: "I still remember that when he first entered the Imperial Hospital, he was still a 12-year-old boy. It seems that in the blink of an eye, he has become a seven-foot-tall man."
"It's a pity..."
What a pity, Queen Wei didn't say anything more, just sighed with a look of disappointment.
As expected, the emperor immediately asked: "What's a pity? Tell me."
Empress Wei pretended to hesitate, and then sighed: "It's a pity that A Yan is still single, has not yet started a family, has no wife or children, and is alone every day. Every time I think of this, I feel sorry for my parents in the underworld. I, as the eldest sister, am really unqualified."
As she spoke, her eyes were slightly red.
Wei Yan listened on the side, and his heart was also moved. Almost immediately he realized what Empress Wei meant.
Empress Wei was going to take the opportunity to ask for his marriage!
Before the time was not right, mentioning this matter would probably anger the emperor. Therefore, she kept it to herself.
Now, Empress Wei has already taken the throne and firmly occupied the emperor's favor. The emperor has no other thoughts about Ling Jingshu.
At this time, it is very likely that the emperor will agree to his marriage!
Wei Yan's heart suddenly beat wildly, and he subconsciously glanced at the door.
Ling Jingshu, waiting outside the door at this time!
The emperor felt sorry for Empress Wei when he saw her so sad and self-blaming. He said without hesitation, "Since you want Wei Yan to get married soon, why don't you find a marriage for him?"
As a queen, it is the honor and dignity of a minister to issue an imperial decree to grant marriage to a minister! It is also a favor that cannot be refused!
Queen Wei wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and whispered with some embarrassment: "To be honest with the emperor, I have had this idea for a long time. But A Yan has been staying in the palace for many years, and he is obsessed with medicine and has no interest in getting married. I have advised him many times, but he always refuses."
The emperor smiled indifferently: "He was young before, so he was more willful. Now he will be thirty years old in a few years, and he should also take on the responsibilities that a man should have. A man should not only establish a career, but also start a family, and pass on his descendants. Otherwise, how can he face his relatives in the underworld in the future."
As she said, she looked at Wei Yan who was silent on the side: "Wei Yan, am I right or not?"
Once the emperor opened his mouth, no one could refuse.
Wei Yan hesitated for a moment, and replied reluctantly: "Your Majesty is right!"
The Emperor immediately smiled and took credit for it to Queen Wei: "Queen, don't worry, I have already convinced him. You will decide his marriage. Choose a lady from a famous family as soon as possible, and let him get married before the end of the year."
Queen Wei's eyes lit up, and she thanked him happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty. In fact, I already have a suitable candidate in mind."
