Chapter 199: No Way to Come and Go
The marriage was like a thunderclap in the clear sky, without any warning, but it was in full swing.
Inside and outside Huadu, there is a joy. Princess Dahua and the brother of King An, who are already in the right place, and are in the time of the union of the two countries, for the people of Huaguo, who have been in war for many years and are in dire straits, the arrival of this marriage is tantamount to seeing a flashing meteor in the dark night, even if there is no direct help for the future of Huaguo, at least let people in despair see a glimmer of hope, and feel that the future of Huaguo is not so dark and lightless......
Where should China go? Yuan Xiao may not be a virtuous monarch, and Shangguan Jingwen may really be a wolf with ambition, but for a thirsty person who almost died, who would refuse a bowl of cold water mixed with poison?
The greatest suffering of the people is not the arrogance and indulgence of the king, not the change of dynasties, but the social turmoil and the displacement of residences. If the union of Huaguo and Anguo can bring Huaguo back to its former tranquility, who cares if it is Yuan Xiao or Shangguan Jingwen who is really in power?
If you want to talk about scruples, there is indeed another concern in the hearts of the people of Dahua, that is, the orphan of King Hua. And if Yuan Chengcheng marries Shangguan Jingxuan, the power struggle between Yuan Xiao and the Shangguan family will become an internal struggle between the two Yuan families, and the people will have nothing to worry about.
Of course, everyone has not forgotten that among the former in-laws and current enemy countries, there is actually a blood of King Hua, a true successor of the Chinese Kingdom, that is, Huangfu Yesheng. But the situation is turbulent, Huangfu Yesheng himself is difficult to protect, and he is still under house arrest in the deep palace of Ningguo, how can Dahua pin his hope of revival on a child who has no freedom?
The marriage between Yuan Chengcheng and Shangguan Jingxuan was planned before they met Shangguan Jingwen, and the reason for this is that of course there is an element of resentment for the regrets of more than ten years ago, but for political purposes, how can it be of great benefit? In the final analysis, in this step, Shangguan Jingwen is still superior.
The originally cold and silent palace road suddenly became lively and noisy because of this sudden marriage, probably because there had been no happy event in the palace for too long, hanging lanterns, pasting happy words, and everyone's face was full of joy that could not be hidden. The red silk flying in the wind is more like an overwhelming red mist, permeating every corner of the palace.
In fact, everyone's joy is not just because of love. Over the years, how has Yuan Chengcheng lived, everyone knows very well, Shangguan Jingxuan is to Yuan Chengcheng, everyone is even more in their eyes, if the princess of Yuancheng can marry the Sixth Highness, it can be regarded as the best destination, they are incompetent all their lives, they can't repay the kindness of King Hua's acquaintance, Yuan Chengcheng can find a good home, and they finally have the face to go down to see King Hua in the future.
But the hustle and bustle in the palace could not infect the desolation and depression in Yuan Chengcheng's heart at all. Just like the snow under the flying red silk, the fiery red can only reflect the coldness of the ice and snow even more.
Yuan Chengcheng really didn't fall in love with Guan Jingxuan, but her indifference to marriage did not come from dissatisfaction with the groom. In fact, if she really wants to choose someone from among the crowds to marry him, if the other party is Shangguan Jingxuan, the person who Qi Dafei is not a coincidence and dare not match is her.
But the right door and natural success can't relieve the heaviness in her heart, this marriage involves not only her happiness alone, but the interests behind it alone are enough for many people to jump out to prevent it from happening.
Over the years, Yuan Chengcheng has imagined more than once, if she took Huangfu Yesheng over, what would have happened?
Once she thought that her biggest mistake was to support Yuan Xiao's ascension, so that she made Huaguo a miasma and a series of wars. But now that I think about it, could it be that taking Yesheng over to succeed him would avoid today's ending?
At that time, the ministers in the court decided that she was difficult to take on the throne, and she was widely connected with the party and coveted the throne, she was lonely and did not understand the art of power, Yesheng was young and ignorant or a foreign surname, even if she really took Yesheng, it was impossible to replace the ministers as drastically as Yuan Xiao, once the wolf ambitions of the ministers could not be suppressed, someone really forced the palace to rebel, not only she and Yesheng were in danger, but Huaguo also had to mess up with itself.
Her father had expected that she would not be able to support the overall situation of Huaguo, and Huangfu Yehan also asked her to withdraw everything in Huaguo as soon as possible. Huaguo has come to this point, it is really the trend of the times, and it is by no means a sin that can be borne by anyone alone, but when it comes to accountability, how can she escape responsibility?
Huaguo's road ahead is unpredictable, but she is physically and mentally exhausted, how can she entrust Huaguo into the hands of a trustworthy person......
"I thought my aunt was really affectionate and loyal to that Huangfu Yehan, why did the object of loyalty change in a blink of an eye?" With this cold and sharp tone, Yuan Qingcheng didn't need to look back to guess it, who else could say such extreme and mean words besides Yuan Xiao.
"Why doesn't my aunt speak? What's the matter, the heart is empty? "The people around Yuan Xiao have long been set aside by Shangguan Jingxuan, and he himself is also under house arrest in the Forbidden Palace, at this time, everyone is busy with the wedding, and it must be because of the negligence of the guards that he let him sneak out.
Yuan Xiao's extremity is sharp, Yuan Chengcheng has already understood, and he met him on the palace road at this time, although he knew that there were people from Shangguan Jingxuan everywhere, and he couldn't set off any waves, but the cold hairs on his body still stood up involuntarily. Fortunately, after all these years of experience, she is no longer the little girl who couldn't hide her heart, even if she has great fear, others can't easily see it: "Whether I have a weak heart or not, it seems that I don't need to explain to you......"
"You don't need to explain it to me?" Yuan Xiao sneered, "What about the people of Dahua? Does my aunt want to explain to them that Shangguan Jingxuan conspired to detain the monarch of Hua with King An, but my aunt, as the princess of Dahua, ignored it, and even married the enemy, should my aunt give an explanation to the people of the world? ”
Yuan Chengcheng ignored him, but Yuan Xiao didn't let go: "That's right, I almost forgot, my aunt has always liked to be entangled with the enemies of Huaguo, when Huangfu entered Huaguo at night, my aunt and Huangfu were cold at night; Now that Shangguan Jingxuan is in power, my aunt has switched to Shangguan Jingxuan's arms......"
"Your Majesty!" Hongchan bowed slightly, looking respectful but threatening, "You lost your temper......"
"What are you!" Yuan Xiao is now in ruins, how can she be afraid of her little palace maid, "The princess hasn't spoken yet, how can it be your turn to be a cheap maid!" ”
Yuan Xiao so blatantly humiliated Hongchan, how could Yuan Chengcheng be silent again.
"If she is not worthy, who else?" The hand in Yuan Chengcheng's sleeve clenched secretly, and said coldly, "If you only came to provoke today, you have also finished provoking, you ...... Time to go! ”
