Chapter 291: Perseverance
In Changyang Palace, Princess Yuanxi had already changed into the heavy wedding dress she was wearing, wearing a relatively light and comfortable pair of boots. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although she is in Da Zhou, she is still dressed in Chu clothes, which is enough to prove that she is not really obedient to this strange place in her heart, and even has a trace of resistance.
According to the plan, the marriage turmoil that had been set off in the Taiji Hall before was originally expected by her and Yuan Peng, but because Cheng Jinzhi took the wine and drenched the handwriting on the holy decree halfway, the situation suddenly became out of control.
In addition, Gao Heng insisted on refusing to marry another wife, and his attitude has been deadlocked, and Emperor Zhou was almost disgraced because of these two Chu people, and he was still dissatisfied and worried about this matter, so he temporarily ended the welcome ceremony on the grounds that the matter was important and needed to make another decision, and appeased the two brothers and sisters to return to Changyang Palace to wait for news.
"Brother Huang, what should we do at this point?"
Princess Yuanxi stood by the windowsill with her hands folded over her shoulders, looking at the mottled shadows of the trees outside through the half-transparent curtain, and pursed the corners of her lips sullenly.
"I just said in front of so many Zhou people that I love King Yan with all my heart, if I can't marry him as a concubine this time, I will definitely be said by these Zhou people to be immeasurable and delusional. When the time comes, where will you put my sister's face and our Da Chu's face go? If that's the case, I'd rather never marry for the rest of my life!"
As she spoke, Princess Yuanxi clenched her fist and smashed it on the railing of the windowsill, her eyes were full of resentment, and she frowned tightly.
"Sister, don't worry, since you have already expressed your attitude in public, the emperor of Zhou will not ignore our feelings when you come. In fact, for him, it doesn't matter if the eldest husband has three wives and four concubines, and his son marries one more wife, and the reason why he didn't make a decision on the spot is mostly because of King Yan's attitude. ”
Yuan Peng comforted him with a good voice, looking at Princess Yuan Xi's stubborn expression, but he felt a little worried in his heart.
After a few moments, he still changed his expression and said: "It's just Xi'er, this King Yan seems to be in love with his princess for ten minutes, even if he is really willing to marry you, you may not be happy in the future, have you really thought it through? My father and I are not willing to see you wronged, otherwise, I will not hide from my father to help you play this scene together." ”
"The moment my father informed me about the marriage, I had already thought it through. Princess Yuanxi's eyelashes moved slightly, and her eyes deepened, "He has a deep affection for his princess, which really makes me a little sad." But this also shows that he is a good man who values love and righteousness. ”
At the mention of Gao Heng, Princess Yuanxi's face suddenly brightened a lot, and even her eyes overflowed with a bright star brilliance.
"Brother Huang, since I was a child, you have always loved me the most, and you deliberately took the risk of tampering with the holy decree for me. Fortunately, you have a good skill in imitating handwriting, otherwise if the emperor of Zhou State finds a flaw, it will be a crime of deception. ”
She took a few steps closer to Yuan Peng, her gaze softened a lot, and she couldn't help but secretly feel a fluke in her heart.
"It's useless for me alone, and I need this bottle of Crypto Water that can remove the ink, otherwise, I'm helpless. ”
Yuan Peng said and took out a small bottle of glass container from his sleeve, at first glance, what this bottle contained was just a very ordinary, transparent liquid similar to water.
"Originally, this plan could not only help you achieve your wish, but also make the emperor of Zhou lose face, killing two birds with one stone. It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, I was ruined by that Princess Yan. ”
Yuan Peng sighed regretfully, thinking of Cheng Jinzhi's aggressive and fearless appearance, he couldn't help but tighten his pupils.
"Speaking of that Princess Yan, I also noticed that she was the one who spoke disrespectfully to the imperial brother at the city gate before. ”
Princess Yuanxi's eyes turned slightly, and there was a touch of resentment between her eyebrows, obviously seeing her as her rival in love.
"Well, she does look a little good, a little smart, and quite bold, but it is a little different from the kind of ladies I imagined, no wonder King Yan will be favored by her alone, and she will not marry another wife. ”
"In that case, doesn't it prove even more that she is a character who is not easy to deal with?" Yuan Peng's expression was solemn, and his tone became a little heavy, "Sister, in terms of appearance and character, you are all excellent, and you are the princess of our Da Chu, why bother to ask for hardship, you have to wronged yourself and fight with her for the same man?"
"But Brother Huang, you also know that what I Yuan Xi wants, I never can't get it. What's more, this is my lifelong happiness, since I have fallen into the eyes of others as a political victim, of course, I have to fight for myself once, how can I let others eat me?"
Princess Yuanxi's tone was very resolute, and gradually, tears were shining in her eyes, but she quickly turned her head and quickly wiped them away.
No matter how tough she is on the outside, she is still a weak woman who has a vision for marriage and her husband on the inside.
This time, she was forced to leave her home country to marry thousands of miles away for the sake of political marriage, and for a long time to come, it will be a thorn in her heart that cannot be removed.
"Brother Huang, you should know best, according to my character, how can I be willing to share a man with another woman? If I really want to marry into the Yan Palace, then I must be the rightful Princess Yan, and the mistress in this palace can only be me. Do you want me to bow down to her and look at her face?"
"I think, this should also be the reason why the Emperor of Zhou is worried, right?" Yuan Peng's eyes condensed slightly, raised his eyes and said, "It's just that as far as I know, the current princess of King Yan is an important minister of the court, the third lady of the Yasukuni Mansion, and King Yan loves her in every way, if you want to move her, I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”
"Jingguo Gong?" Princess Yuanxi's eyes were certain, and she suddenly stiffened her face and said with a sullen face, "I remembered, it was because he came to our Dachu to make peace, and my father thought of letting me go to make peace." It turns out that this person is an important minister of the Zhou State and her father, it seems that I have already formed a grudge with this person named Cheng Jinzhi. ”
Yuan Peng sighed faintly when he heard this: "That's why I don't want you to take risks." After all, we are in a foreign country, and many things are beyond our strength, you also know that our Dachu has been trapped by natural disasters in recent years, and the Western Jin Dynasty in the north is eyeing you, if you really have the ability to wave the army north, my father will not be willing to marry you here. ”
"If I hadn't realized my father's difficulties, how could I have been willing to leave my hometown and lose my life?"
Princess Yuanxi lowered her eyes with a desolate expression, and her low tone was full of helplessness and sadness.
She fixed her gaze in one place, and after a long silence, it suddenly became deep and sharp.
"I'm just thinking, since I can't easily move this Cheng Jinzhi, is there any way to make her quit automatically?"
