Chapter 218: It's up to you!
Of course, Meng Xia will not be rash, and for now, it is best to control silence with stillness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sure enough, Emperor Meng Zhao quickly got straight to the point, patted Meng Xia's hand in front of everyone and asked, "What do you think about your third emperor brother?" ”
Either he avoided it at all and didn't give Meng Xia a chance to mention it, or he directly asked, Emperor Meng Zhao has always been controlling, and this is the same for everyone.
Hearing this question, Meng Xia didn't squeak yet, but the fifth princess Meng Jin on the side subconsciously hooked the corners of her mouth, and looked at Meng Xia with extreme contempt, as if looking at an ant that would be trampled to death by her at any time.
Meng Xia naturally understood Meng Jin's thoughts, in Meng Jin's opinion, everything was a foregone conclusion, her Third Emperor Brother had no place to turn over, and she, who had relied on the attention of the Third Emperor Brother Bo Lai's father from the beginning, of course, had reached the end of the depression.
Ignoring Meng Jin's almost undisguised pride, Meng Xia replied straight to Emperor Meng Zhao: "Father Emperor Mingjian, the three emperor brothers are self-purifying, and Ah Xia has always believed that his father will deal with everything. ”
"That's it?" Emperor Meng Zhao didn't expect Meng Xia to gently pass over with just one sentence, and he didn't care as much as he imagined.
It stands to reason that in addition to the Ning family in and outside the palace, the most worried about Meng Lang must be Meng Xia's girl, and because of this, he has not seen this girl these days, and he is afraid that his daughter's abrasive plea will cause him to be annoyed and disgusted.
And now, Meng Xia's attitude really makes me a little incomprehensible, is this too concerned or too indifferent, is it really trust him or has he long given up his trust and dependence on his father?
For a while, Emperor Meng Zhao's expression changed very quickly, and the suspicion in his bones was inevitably revealed.
Meng Xia was not surprised by the reaction of this father, but when he saw this, he sighed inaudibly, and explained as if talking to himself: "Ah Xia didn't think so much, and he didn't want to think so much, he only knew that no matter what happened to the Third Emperor Brother in the future, he would always be my Third Emperor Brother." If he is good, I will naturally be well, and if he has any accidents, I must be even more good, so that I can take care of the people and things he can't worry about for him. ”
It wasn't loud, but it was so loud in an already quiet setting.
Meng Xia's soft tone revealed that he was no less strong and iron-clad than anyone else, and at that moment it seemed to be able to support a large area of sky.
Everyone fell silent, and the gaze that looked at Meng Xia became extremely complicated.
For Meng Jin, such a calm and strong Meng Xia made her even more disgusted; For Zheng Qin, the little girl's pride and open-mindedness made her ashamed; For those envoys of Northern Chu, Meng Xia's thinking and mind surprised them; Yu Chu Zhengqian was an indescribable sigh of relief and unspeakable jealousy, the most ferocious jealousy of King Meng Lang.
But for Emperor Meng Zhao, this time the shock was more amazing than any previous time for this daughter, such an outstanding insight in mind was a daughter, it was really a pity for him to be a father.
Emperor Meng Zhao felt more and more that Ah Xia was like him, but after being shocked, the love for this child in his heart became stronger and stronger, and there was nothing else to doubt, and he was even glad that the matter of the third child was not as pessimistic as the girl thought.
"Ah Xia, you are really a good daughter of your father and emperor, and you are also a good royal sister of your third emperor brother!"
After a while, Emperor Meng Zhao held Meng Xia's hand and sighed with pity: "Okay, today is mainly for your Fifth Emperor Sister and the Northern Chu envoys, let's talk about the rest, let's do the right thing first." ”
The Northern Chu mission has been delayed in the capital for a long time, and it should have left for China early, but now Emperor Meng Zhao has set an official schedule, and tomorrow morning, they can return to Chu with the five princesses who are married and kissed.
It's just that Emperor Meng Zhao has not officially announced who will lead the troops and horses to send his relatives so far.
As a rule, a princess who marries far away will usually be escorted by a high-ranking member of the royal family of the country along the road to the junction of the two countries to show her attention, and some will even escort her all the way to the final destination of the marital country.
And because of the matter of the king in the middle, these things have been delayed until the itinerary is officially determined, and Emperor Meng Zhao did not mention it in public.
"Ah Xia, who do you think is more suitable for your father to send to escort your Fifth Emperor Sister?" Emperor Meng Zhao looked at Meng Xia and said with a smile: "It's better for you to decide a suitable candidate for your father!" ”
Everyone looked at Meng Xia, knowing that this was Emperor Meng Zhao's intention to show Meng Xia his kindness, and to show everyone that the avoidance of the Nine Princesses during this period of time was not a snub to them.
Fifth Princess Meng Jin's face was instantly very ugly, why did she let Meng Xia's little slut call the shots?
"My father really loves the Nine Emperor Sisters, but how can Jin'er's life events let others make decisions for Jin'er?"
Meng Jin still didn't calm down at the moment, and said at the moment: "Jin'er hopes that the Fourth Emperor Brother can personally escort Jin'er all the way to Northern Chu, and it just so happens that these days it is also the Fourth Emperor Brother who is in charge of the affairs of the Northern Chu Mission, and he also asks his father for permission." ”
Emperor Meng Zhao didn't expect Meng Jin to speak first, and he didn't say yes or no for a while, he just looked at Meng Jin straightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Meng Jin was a little weak by his father, but he secretly thought that he was not a problem like this, no matter how he was, he should not make his father angry, so he quickly gained a little more confidence.
But Meng Xia was keenly aware of Emperor Meng Zhao's dissatisfaction, and after thinking about it, he pulled Emperor Meng Zhao's arm, and said with a smile: "My father's heart is like a mirror, and he must have already selected the most suitable candidate. ”
Meng Xia's words obviously pleased Emperor Meng Zhao, making his originally unattractive complexion quickly soothed.
"What kind of lazy person are you, you are clearly a sycophant who is used to pleasing your father!"
Emperor Meng Zhao smiled and teased Meng Xia, listening to the words of reproach, but the tone was full of love, how could there be any real blame.
The two talked and laughed, sang and harmonized, and directly ignored Meng Jin aside, the father and daughter are really completely different, and the difference is so obvious that even the blind can see it.
Meng Jin's face turned white, but he didn't dare to say more, and the other onlookers looked at Meng Jin with a little more mockery, which made the fifth princess, who was not very well treated, even more embarrassed.
"Okay, I'm not going to do it. Liu Lida, please come out of the relatives who I have hand-picked for the fifth princess. ”
After a while, Emperor Meng Zhao waved his hand and motioned to Liu Lida, who was waiting on the side. (To be continued.) )
