Chapter 182: What countermeasures
Hearing the emperor's question, Sun Ji was silent for a moment, and then said: "According to what the minister has seen, there are three people in my Mo Liu who can fight. The crown princess, Princess Cang, and Princess Yixuan. ”
Sun Ji paused for a moment and then continued: "The crown princess Niangniang's talent is outstanding, but everyone knows it, she is the first talented woman in Moliu Kingdom, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is not weaker than Han Junyan, the fifth princess of Yanshu Kingdom. And Princess Cang is also not inferior to others in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially her outstanding piano skills, which are full of praise. Princess Yixuan's martial arts are strong, it is a belief in the hearts of all people in Moliu Kingdom, as far as Weichen knows, the Bodhi voice of the third princess Ye Chengyao should be a psychedelic sound, good at demagoguery, and Princess Yixuan is good at flute, should be able to resist the offensive of the third princess of Wojun. ”
After hearing this, the emperor also nodded in agreement, and then looked at Luo You, then looked at Xiao Xueqing, and asked, "What do the crown princess and Princess Cang think?" ”
When Luo You saw the emperor asking, he took the lead in standing up, bowed slightly to the emperor and said: "Thanks to Sun Shangshu's love, my father and daughter-in-law are willing to do their best for Mo Liu." ”
Luo Xue said with a 'modest' face and very confident, but Luo Xue's eyes skimmed slightly, and the arrogance leaked from Luo You's slightly drooping eyes all fell into Luo Xue's eyes. As if feeling Luo Xue's eyes, Luo You tilted her head slightly, and her eyes turned to look at Luo Xue, who saw contempt and ridicule in her eyes.
Also, what if she marries Sikong Cangling and becomes a side concubine, among the people who can be compared with the princess of the two countries, Sun Ji said that there is no name of her Luo Xue. Standing in this palace today, she is just an inconspicuous speck of dust, and can only be their foil. can only be embarrassed here and be ashamed.
Hearing Luo You's answer, Sikong Wodi suddenly felt a dragon's heart, he laughed a few times, and then said appreciatively: "Hahaha... is worthy of being my royal daughter-in-law, with courage and courage. ”
The emperor's appreciation made Luo You also hook the corners of her mouth, and then she also smiled and said: "Thank you for your father's appreciation." ”
For this scene. Sikong Cangling still seemed to be indifferent, and he didn't say anything to let Xiao Xueqing say, Xiao Xueqing saw that Sikong Cangling was still expressionless and didn't care about himself. There was also a little anxiety in his eyes.
Luo You has come forward like this, if she doesn't stand up, will those ministers laugh at her, saying that Princess Cang is a cowardly person. Xiao Xueqing thought so. His brows furrowed fiercely. Immediately, she didn't plan to wait for Sikong Cangling's affirmative eyes, she took a step forward directly, and then said aloud to the emperor: "Back to my father, my daughter-in-law is also willing to do her part for Mo Liu, and she will definitely not let the princess of his country have the opportunity to humiliate my Mo Liuguo." ”
Xiao Xueqing suddenly stood up, Sikong Cangling's gaze fell on her slightly, her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything. His gaze shifted and he didn't look at her anymore, and he didn't know whether he was in favor of or against Xiao Xueqing's behavior. But at this time, no one would ask for his opinion.
Seeing that Xiao Xueqing also stood up, Sikong Wodi laughed happily again, "Okay, good...", he said three good words in a row, and he didn't hide his appreciation for Xiao Xueqing at all, Xiao Xueqing is Xiao Shangshu's only daughter, Xiao Shangshu's reputation in Mo Liu is higher than Sikong Cangling in some aspects, Xiao Xueqing, as Xiao Shangshu's daughter, of course, will not be so simple, and will definitely not be an idle person.
"Since my daughters-in-law are so confident, then I have nothing to worry about, and I hope that the two daughters-in-law can prepare well for the upcoming Xiaohui."
Luo You and Xiao Xueqing suddenly glanced at each other unexpectedly, ordinary people thought that this was two people competing against each other, only Luo Xue's pupils on the side shrank slightly, he had seen so many people of all kinds, Luo Xue could roughly guess what they were thinking with one look, Xiao Xueqing and Luo You's eyes did not have any sharpness, but there was a hint in it, what was going on? Haven't they always been at odds?
The relationship between Sikong Cangling and Sikong Xuanye is stiff, and the tense attitude between the two people is always known, as the crown princess and princess of the two respectively, who would believe that the two people would have such suggestive eyes!
Luo You and Xiao Xueqing heard the emperor's words, and then replied to the emperor at the same time: "Yes, father!" ”
However, just when everyone thought that the matter was decided, a person suddenly stood up from the column of generals, that is, Sikong Cangling, and he arched his hand to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, minister, there is a performance!" ”
The emperor smiled slightly, and then asked, "Xue Aiqing, what do you have to do?" ”
Xue Yang, an old general of Mo Liu, has a second official position, which is just one level lower than Mo Liu's general Meng Qifeng, he is loyal, absolutely heartfelt for the country, and has won the trust and support of the people, and his reputation is also very good. At the same time, he is also a very supportive of Sikong Cangling, according to his words, he only supports the monarch who can take Mo Liu to a better level.
Not to mention others, even the emperor has great respect for this general who is over half a hundred years old, which shows that Xue Yang is different.
Xue Yang bowed to the emperor again, and then said loudly: "Weichen does not agree with Sun Shangshu's statement. One sentence directly stated his point of view, and his words made Luo You and Xiao Xueqing, who had just proudly accepted the emperor's appointment, look slightly unsightly, but both of them covered it up well.
Xue Yang's words made Sikong Wodi slightly puzzled: "Oh? Xue Aiqing disagrees with Sun Aiqing's words, so what is Xue Aiqing's opinion? ”
Xue Yang frowned, and said seriously: "Back to the emperor, the minister is also an old minister who has accompanied Prince Cang to guard in the frontier for several years, if the situation of the Three Kingdoms is understood, who dares to say that it can really compare to those of us who are staying in the frontier?" As far as Weichen knows, although the situation of the princesses of the two kingdoms is as Sun Shangshu said, according to Weichen's understanding of the crown princess and the princess of Cang, Weichen does not think that the two can defeat the princesses of the two countries. ”
Xue Yang's more straightforward words once again made Luo You and Xiao Xueqing slightly unable to hold back on their faces, at this moment. The old general was directly looking down on the two of them, directly expressing his contempt and contempt for them, which made them feel that they could not raise their heads in front of everyone.
Luo You was still looking at Luo Xue with contempt just now. laughed at her lowliness, but she didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, she would become a joke and be ridiculed by others.
Although Xue Yang spoke very politely, no one directly questioned him, everyone knew that Xue Yang was the one who stood on Sikong Cangling's side, if Xue Yang just said that the crown princess was inferior to the princess of other countries. I'm afraid that everyone will think that Xue Yang is deliberately targeting the people on the prince's side, but Xue Yang unceremoniously said that Princess Cang can't do it, so everyone has to weigh his words carefully.
Xue Yang's words made Sikong Wodi frown. He asked in a deep voice: "Why did Xue Aiqing say this?" "This is a matter of Mo Liu's reputation to the outside world, and it is not a trivial matter.
Xue Yang paused slightly, and then continued to say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen deliberately raised the morale of other countries to destroy the prestige of his country. It's that Weichen once saw the princess of the two countries perform with his own eyes. That kind of shock is something that Wechen has never seen, but in Moliu, although he has also heard of the outstanding talents of the crown princess and the princess Cang, and he has been fortunate to see the performances of the two mothers, but to be honest, Weichen has not seen in the two mothers that can be compared with the talents of the two princesses. ”
Xue Yang's words made Sikong Wodi speak in surprise again: "Is that really the case? ”
Xue Yang nodded solemnly, he did not allow the slightest disadvantage to Mo Liuguo to happen, he was not loyal to the royal family. He is loyal to the country of Moliu, and he does not do things for anyone. He only does things for Moliu, and he does things for all the people of Moliu.
Sikong Wodi frowned: "Then according to what Aiqing said, how can we win these two princesses?" ”
Xue Yang frowned slightly, and then seemed to think of a candidate, he finally spoke: "Wechen once heard the courtiers and Xiao'er mention, not long ago, they once saw a thrilling dance, and that dance was also spread in the capital, listening to Xiao'er's description, that dance came out, the degree of shock was definitely no less than the performance of the two princesses that Weichen saw." ”
Hearing Xue Yang's words, a person's name involuntarily popped up in the heads of many people in the field again.
Hearing Xue Yang's words, Sikong Wodi couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Which young lady is so talented?" Sikong Wodi was puzzled in his heart, he was in the palace, and he didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing that circulated in the streets and alleys, and he himself didn't like this form of thing.
Xue Yang said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, the Luo Shang Mansion Garden Party was originally prepared for the two young ladies of the Luo family who had just come out of the cabinet, Miss Luo Fourth and Miss Luo Wu. It was that garden party that shocked everyone. ”
As soon as Xue Yang's words came out, everyone knew what Xue Yang wanted to say, but Luo Xue frowned fiercely, just now she had a good impression of this old man, but now her good impression of him is gone, this person is completely here to make trouble for her.
When Sikong Cangling heard Xue Yang's words, he subconsciously looked at Luo Xue, and sure enough, he saw Luo Xue's furrowed brows and dissatisfied eyes. He retracted his gaze, and then looked at Xue Yang, this old general is good at everything, but he is too sincere and loyal.
Hearing Xue Yang's words, Sikong Wodi nodded, "I have indeed heard of the garden party held in Luofu, but during that time, the government affairs were busy, and I remember that the crown prince and the five emperors went to participate. ”
Xue Yang nodded, "That's right, the crown prince, the crown princess, and the prince of Cang were all present at that time, and the fourth lady of the Luo family danced amazingly, and those who watched her dance thought that it was the Nine Heavens Fairy who descended to earth, and the women of the family also began to imitate the dance of the fourth lady of the Luo family and began to practice in private." ”
"How can such a thing happen?" Sikong Wodi said in surprise, "Luo Aiqing, your fourth daughter really has such skills, but why has she never been mentioned?" ”
At this time, everyone's eyes finally fell on Luo Wengong, who had been silent on the side, and when he heard Sikong Wodi's question, Luo Wengong hurriedly bowed to Sikong Wodi, and then said: "Back to the emperor, I'm ashamed, my fourth daughter has not been close to Weichen since she was a child, she is also that kind of silent character, she doesn't like to drink and communicate with others, so when did she secretly learn that dance, Weichen really doesn't know!" ”
In fact, what Luo Wengong wanted to say was that he had taught Luo Yu and them to learn poetry, singing, dancing and embroidery since they were young, so they had today's fourth lady of the Luo family, but he suddenly thought that Luo Yu had left Luofu, and Luo Ling's fifth daughter didn't know where to go, and he had never seen these two daughters since he left Luofu.
Luo Yu dared to let Sikong Cangling Chengquan let her break off the relationship with Luofu, he wouldn't believe that she would obediently listen to him and say such things to the emperor.
Hearing Luo Wengong's words, Sikong Wodi frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, he understood very well the difference between unfavored children and highly liked children in such an official family, thinking that the fourth lady who came to Naluo Mansion should be the kind of child with a low status who is not liked.
Then Sikong Wodi said, "Where is the child now?" Go and have someone take her into the palace. ”
Hearing Sikong Wodi's words, Luo Wengong's face was embarrassed.
Seeing that Luo Wengong didn't reply for a long time, Sikong Wodi frowned, "What's wrong with Luo Aiqing?" Is there any difficulty? ”
Luo Wengong looked at Sikong Wodi, and then sighed deeply and said: "Back to the emperor, it's a shame to say, the old minister is not strict with his daughter, and Weichen's four daughters are not close to Weichen when they are young, after that dance, she asked for a will from the prince of Cang, and she has been away from Luofu for a long time, and Weichen doesn't know where she went, and Weichen can't find her!" ”
When Sikong Wodi heard this, he was even more surprised.
At this moment, Luo You on the side spoke again: "Father, daughter-in-law has something to say." ”
Sikong Wodi nodded: "What's the matter?" ”
Luo You looked at Sikong Wodi, and then glanced at Luo Xue with a calm face, she said: "Father, the daughter-in-law is the eldest lady of Luofu, and she is not very close to the fourth sister, but the fourth sister and the third sister are extremely close, and the fourth sister left Luofu that day with the third sister, so the last person to see the fourth sister should be the third sister." Moreover, the daughter-in-law believes that with the relationship between the fourth sister and the third sister, the third sister must know the whereabouts of the fourth sister. ”
Luo You's words made everyone's eyes fall on Luo Xue, who had been standing silently in the corner and trying to reduce her sense of presence again. (To be continued.) )
