Regardless of the reason, it naturally also represents factors such as Princess Ding. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Meng Lang secretly expressed his mind to Meng Xia in the simplest way, although at this moment, this girl could not understand.
"The third brother can't help but think of me as too proud and unreasonable, how can I feel like a vexatious bully?"
Meng Xia said this, but he couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart.
She knew that the Three Emperor Brothers regarded her as a treasure, and sometimes, they did think too much about it.
No matter when the Three Emperor Brothers marry the princess in the future, no matter which lucky woman she marries, shouldn't she be happy for the Three Emperor Brothers?
"You're just thinking too much, silly girl!"
Meng Lang raised his hand and touched Ah Xia's head, just like when he was a child.
There are some words, it is indeed not time to say clearly, and he is a little helpless in his heart, not knowing when that day will come soon.
"By the way, third brother, there is something I thought about and felt that I should tell you."
Meng Xia finally put down the shadow puppet in her hand, remembering the letter that Chu Zhengqian wrote to her a few days ago, and couldn't help but look a little more serious.
"Is something wrong?" Seeing this, Meng Lang naturally attached great importance to it, and then put down the shadow puppet, pulled Ah Xia back to his seat and sat down and spoke slowly.
"A few days ago, I received a letter from someone sent by Chu Zhengqian."
Meng Xia did not hide it, and told the third emperor brother about the matter and the contents of the letter.
Although Chu Zhengqian made it very clear to her in the letter, asking her not to mention it to anyone, the Third Emperor Brother is not an outsider, and it is also necessary to let the Third Emperor Brother know about some matters on the Northern Chu side.
After listening to Meng Xia's words, Meng Lang couldn't help but think about it, and at the same time remembered another thing in his heart.
"Third brother, third brother?"
Meng Xia finished saying everything, but he didn't see the squeak of the Third Emperor Brother, but his expression was a little abnormal, so he asked himself, "What's wrong with you?" Could it be that there is something wrong with this letter? ”
Pulled back to reality by Meng Xia's voice again, Meng Lang shook his head and said, "No, there should be no problem with the letter, I just suddenly thought of another thing because of what you said." ”
In fact, Meng Lang felt that Chu Zhengqian's letter to Meng Xia was normal, and as for Chu Zhengqian's telling Meng Xia about the beauty who was about to be sent to the palace to approach Emperor Meng Zhao, he didn't quite understand this.
"Another thing? What's up? In this way, Meng Xia's curiosity was aroused.
"Ah Xia, do you still remember the transaction between your father and Chu Zhengqian?"
After hesitating for a moment, Meng Lang finally chose to tell Ah Xia some of the answers that he had already found out.
"Of course I remember, didn't my father want to use Chu Zhengqian to go back and disturb Northern Chu, so that the fisherman could benefit?" Meng Xia nodded to herself, how could she not remember such a big thing.
"In the past few years, I have always secretly asked people to investigate the specific content of the transaction between them back then, and now, I have finally found some eyebrows."
Meng Lang looked at Meng Xia, and his expression gradually became a little sad: "Do you know, why has my father never let anyone mention your marriage in the past two years?" ”
Ah Xia is now sixteen, and although he is not in a hurry to get married according to his age, he will generally start to look for some suitable candidates for observation.
is like the fifth princess Meng Jin, it is said that the queen has selected several young talents, and is preparing to ask Emperor Meng Zhao to help take a look, and after a few days, the suitable candidate will be determined.
But Ah Xia, since his birthday that year, his father and the emperor briefly asked him and his mother in the Muqing Palace, but he never mentioned it again, according to his father's favor for Ah Xia, it must be extremely abnormal to keep silent about it.
Hearing the words of the Third Emperor Brother, Meng Xia didn't think much about it, and replied directly: "Didn't my father say early in the morning that he wanted to keep me in the palace and stay by his side for a few more years, so naturally there is no need to mention the marriage so quickly." ”
"If only it were really that."
Meng Lang shook his head, and said with a gloomy face: "I have already found out that Qian Zhengqian had mentioned one in the transaction with his father and the emperor, and when the matter is completed, he is willing to give up two additional cities as a dowry in addition to the city originally ceded to Nanmeng, and marry you as the queen!" ”
Hearing this, Meng Xia actually laughed angrily: "Two cities? It seems that I'm quite valuable, worth even two cities! ”
Although there was a bit of self-deprecation in his words, Meng Xia was really not too surprised.
Chu Zhengqian's kind of person, what kind of decision he makes is not outrageous.
Seeing Meng Xia's reaction, Meng Lang felt a little lost in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Ah Xia, aren't you disgusted with this marriage?" ”
Back then, Chu Zhengqian's attitude towards Ah Xia, Meng Lang knew in his heart, he had long known that guy had a thief against Ah Xia, but he never thought that Ah Xia didn't seem to care much about it.
"Third brother, with my understanding of Chu Zhengqian, he shouldn't make such a request for no reason."
Meng Xia explained directly to Meng Lang: "And my father is so suspicious, seeing that Chu Zhengqian would rather take the initiative to add two more cities just to marry him a daughter, he will definitely feel that there must be a mystery in this." So I wondered if this one would end up in the end. ”
"You, what a person!"
When Meng Lang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh again, nodded and said, "You guessed right, in the agreement proposed by my father at the beginning, after Chu Zhengqian succeeded, he had to marry Meng Jin as his queen. The father's mind is not simple, it is nothing more than hoping to further control the future Northern Chu through such a marriage. Chu Zhengqian is not stupid, so he temporarily asked to change this article and change the candidate for the princess to you, and also specially offered to give up two more cities. ”
"Father doesn't know if he is really reluctant to marry you far away, or thinks that you are much smarter than Meng Jin, I am afraid that if you marry uncontrollably, you will become Chu Zhengqian's help, in short, I didn't directly agree at that time, but I didn't deny it at that time, I just said that this matter is not in a hurry, and then it will depend on the situation."
Meng Lang told everything he had found, but in his heart, he was really glad that the suspicion in his father's personality came in handy at that time.
"In this way, the game between them has allowed me to take a small advantage, at least for the time being, I don't have to worry about getting married."
Meng Xia smiled indifferently: "Okay, I wish that Beichu's infighting lasted as long as possible, it was best to pull it like this for the rest of my life, anyway, I don't want to marry anyone." (To be continued.) )
