Episode 13 (3)

"What does Father think?" Tianyue asked Cong Hua. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Father hasn't decided yet. At present, the situation in the business country is more complicated. Judging from the changes in the Shang Kingdom in the past two years, we cannot rule out the possibility of Xiao Qingran becoming the king of Shang. Cong Hua analyzed objectively.

"It's as if no one expected that the ninth prince of the Shang Kingdom would succeed to the throne?" Tianyue said.

"Yes. ”

"What you mean is that although Xiao Bogong is capable of seizing the throne with Xiao Qingran, it may also be due to accidents and other reasons, he will die before he defeats Xiao Qingran. Tian Yuan asked in surprise. He didn't expect this, he only felt that Bo Gong was better, more like a king, and more suitable for Zi Mo, but he didn't think about anything other than man-made. "Could it be that God really wants to hand over Shangguo to Xiao Qingran, that useless guy?"

"We had to think about a lot of things. Cong Hua said cautiously.

"Then you can't marry Zi Mo to him. Even if Qingran handed over the Shang Kingdom to him, he would also be ruined. If we marry Zi Mo to him, it is equivalent to ruining Zi Mo's life. ”

"Tian Yuan, don't rush to conclusions yet. Tianyue said to Tian Yuan, "I think we should discuss this matter with Zi Mo." On the one hand, this is a major event related to Zi Mo's life, and on the other hand, I think Zi Mo's intuition is extremely keen, and I believe that she will definitely be able to make a clear decision. ”

"Intuition, how can this kind of thing be done by intuition. ”

"Although Zi Mo is a little willful, but every time, she is right, isn't she?"

"It's just a coincidence. "Every time Zi Mo is willful, he will make mistakes and make mistakes. It only shows that she was lucky.

"It's not right to use coincidence to decide on coincidence. ”

"Zi Mo is our sister, and she can't be played. ”

"I'm serious. ”

"Alright. Cong Hua interrupted the conversation between Tian Yuan and Tian Yue, "It's in vain to argue here, we'll make a decision on this matter later." My nephew's full moon feast is not over yet, it is not appropriate for one of you to be a father and the other to be an uncle for too long to leave, hurry back. ”

……

Driving away Tianyuan and Tianyue, Cong Hua stood alone under the porch, staring at the moon like a string in the sky. After a long time, he turned his head, his eyes still stuck in the night of the sky. Then, with firm steps, he walked along the path that was sometimes straight, sometimes winding, to the deepest part of the palace.

In the depths of King Xin's palace, there is a special courtyard. The palace courtyard of King Xin's palace is dominated by tall and concise. In the courtyard deep inside the palace, the houses in the courtyard are lower than the other buildings, and the walls of the courtyard are painted with strange patterns composed of many colors. The other courtyards of the palace were guarded by guards, but there were no guards or maids here. The inside and outside of the courtyard is always quiet, like a quiet ancient tomb.

Cong Hua walked to the door of this courtyard, stopped, and respectfully said "High Priest" inside. A low, hoarse voice came from the room, "Come in." ”

Cong Hua walked into the courtyard and pushed open the door of the house inside. Inside the room, the light was dim, and the dusty air was filled with the smell of incense. In the middle of the room was an old stove, and behind it sat a tall, thin old man cross-legged. The old man's shriveled eyelids drooped like a cloth bag, and the gaze under the cloth bag was like the light in this room, blurry and dim, making it impossible to see. He is like the grave keeper in this ancient tomb, mysterious and awe-inspiring. He was the high priest of the kingdom of Xin.

"High Priest. Cong Hua said to the old man.

The high priest did not get up, but sat still, motionless and asked, "Prince, is there something to do with me?"

"The letter of state of Shang has arrived, and they want the princess to marry Xiao Qingran, the biological son of the king of Shang. ”

"Oh. The High Priest nodded slightly.

"Father asked me to ask you if you can agree to this marriage. ”

The high priest picked up tongs from his side and stirred the fire in the furnace. "Before I watched the astrological signs of the Shang Kingdom, Xiao Bogong's main star was bright, and he must be the master of business. But recently, I noticed that another star suddenly appeared next to the main star, and although the light of this star was small, it was located in the same position as the main star, and it had the potential to compete with it. If the brightness of this star intensifies, it may swallow and replace the main star and become the new main star. ”

"Is this star that suddenly appeared Xiao Qingran?" asked Cong Hua.

"It should be. ”

"So, do you think he'll take the place of the main star?"

The High Priest shook his head, looking confused, "I just said that it is possible. At present, this star is very bright, and it is not yet able to compete with the main star, unless someone with star luck can help him. ”

"Is there such a person around him?"

"Not yet. ”

"What about Shangguo's marriage letter, do we want to agree?"

"Everything is changing, and I can't answer the eldest prince accurately, it depends on the princess's creation. ”

……

"To say it is to say nothing. Tian Yuan said unhappily. Tianyue said that for such a big matter, the eldest brother would definitely ask the high priest for inquiry and divination. And without further ado, go back that same night. Tian Yuan came to the eldest brother's residence early in the morning and asked about the result.

Cong Hua told Tian Yuan the words of the high priest, and Tian Yuan was very angry, because the words of the high priest did not need to be divined, and he also knew. It's really useless.

"Do not be disrespectful to the high priest. Cong Hua reprimanded Tianyuan.

"Originally, anyone would say his words, and they still needed to find him. …… The high priest has no answer, what should we do?" Tian Yuan was full of expectations, but he was disappointed, and asked helplessly.

"Go ask Zimo. Tianyue said, "She should know about her affairs and have the right to decide." ”

Zi Mo wouldn't agree either. Tian Yuan said, "Last time, let her marry Xiao Bogong, she had to die or live, this time this Xiao Qingran, it is estimated that she will have to turn her face immediately when she hears it, let's prepare for the storm." ”

Tianyue and Cong Hua did not speak. Tian Yuan's words are not impossible.

"Zi Mo has been studying at home behind closed doors recently, I hope her temper will be restrained. Tianyue said without confidence.

"What does her reading have to do with her temper?" Tian Yuan felt that Tianyue's words were unreasonable.

"Reading can make people self-cultivation. Tianyue said.

"Reading like you?" Tianyue reads every day, but Tianyuan can't get used to it.

"What's wrong with me doing this?"

"Yin and Yang are weird. ”

"Okay-" Cong Hua said, when is this coming, these two people can quarrel about anything.

The three of them discussed for a while and went to Yu Zimo's residence together.

Yu Zimo was in the house, drinking tea and reading a book. Qing Yao waited quietly on the side.

Qing Yao saw several princes come in and hurriedly gave gifts. Cong Hua waved her hand to Qing Yao and motioned for her to go out first. Qing Yao retired.

"It's really not easy for the three of you to come to me together, is there something wrong?" Yu Zimo put down the book and asked casually.

The three of them glanced at each other, Tianyuan glanced at Tianyue, Tianyue shook his head in embarrassment, and Cong Hua was silent for a while.

"Speak. The three of you are here just to stand in my room in a daze?" Yu Zimo put down the book in his hand and waited for them to speak.

In the end, it was Cong Hua who spoke. "Yesterday, the envoy of the Shang Kingdom sent a letter of proposal. ”

"Oh," Yu Zimo said indifferently, "Is it Qimo?" Several princesses of the Shang Kingdom have already married. There are two princesses in the Xin Kingdom, one is Yu Zimo and the other is Yu Qimo.

"You're knowingly asking. Qi Mo is only a few years old. Cong Hua said - Yu Zimo is less than two years old this year.

"How old is she also the princess of Xinguo. Yu Zimo sneered. "Forget it, let's talk about it, who wins. She asked Tianyuan and Tianyue.

"Huh?" Tianyuan Tianyue didn't quite understand what Zi Mo meant.

"The second brother and the third brother made a bet, guessing that the king of Shang would propose to me for Xiao Bogong and Xiao Qingran. You think I don't know. ”

"Huh. So you know it all!" Tian Yuan touched his head and smiled awkwardly. Tianyue didn't smile.

"It's Xiao Qingran. Cong Hua answered for them.

As soon as Cong Hua's words came out, the three of them looked at Yu Zimo's face nervously, waiting for her reaction, for fear that he would flip the table on the spot and turn his face.
