Chapter 114 Marriage in the Northern Desert
Hearing this, Jing Shengwu softly saluted the queen's mother, "Sheng Wu is the daughter of the queen mother, so she naturally wants to be of one heart and one mind with the queen mother." In this huge harem, if Sheng Wu can't rely on the queen's mother, who can he rely on? ”
Hearing Jing Shengwu's words, the queen nodded with satisfaction. pulled Jing Shengwu and said some thoughtful words, and then let her go back to the Changle Palace.
Looking at the back of Jing Shengwu leaving, the queen pointed at Leng Xiang's forehead, "You, do you see it, although this Jing Shengwu is the daughter of Jingfu, and she didn't grow up with me like Yu'er, but she is well-behaved." In the future, unless I order it, you will have to take it from your bad intentions. ”
Hearing the queen's words, Leng Xiang had to obey coincidentally. But in her big watery eyes, the killing intent towards Jing Shengwu has not decreased too much.
The queen received this scene in her eyes, but she didn't say anything more, and let Leng Xiang help her back to the dormitory.
"Princess, this queen doesn't seem to have any good intentions for the princess, why does the princess still help her?" Waiting to arrive in the Changle Palace, and sending Qingluan and Huangque out, Leng Yu asked.
When she rewarded the eldest princess of Changle in this palace before, Jing Shengwu experienced a lot of indifference and discrimination. Especially the things in this Changle Palace, which are on the side of the Millennium Palace, how could the queen not know?
Especially when worshipping the mountain in autumn, I am afraid that the ten thousand beast powder is also something from the queen's palace!
"She hasn't made any big moves right now, and it's not good for us to tear up her face. Because of Zhao Xiyan, Concubine De must not have a good impression of us. So in this palace, we can only firmly lean on the big tree of the queen. ”
Tiredly sat down and drank a sip of tea, Jing Shengwu softly held the tea cup and said coldly. Although she knew that the queen might not have any good intentions towards her, if she faced the two most powerful women in the palace like this, she was afraid that she would not even know how she died.
Even if the current queen wants to get rid of her, she will be afraid of her princess status. Moreover, if you pretend not to know, you will be of the same heart and mind as the queen. I'm afraid she will also use herself to deal with Concubine De, and she will no longer be in such a hurry to get rid of herself, right?
After all, after thinking about it, Jing Shengwu couldn't think of the reason why the queen had to get rid of herself. If it is said to be for the sake of accommodating Chu, it is even more impossible.
"Be careful. That woman was not easy to deal with. ”
Thinking of what the two of them said in the imperial garden at the Qianqiu banquet that day, Jing Shengwu rubbed his brows even more tiredly. Rong Shizi's help was really not so easy to get, and seeing that she was going to go to the Xiangwang Mansion for him.
"Xueyue, you follow me to the mansion of King Xiang. I also want to apologize for Rong Shizi's visit. Bring the best century-old ginseng and Hetian jade bracelet in our palace, I heard that Concubine Xiangwang likes Hetian jade the most. ”
After lunch, Jing Shengwu asked Qingluan and Huangque to clean up the plates, and then instructed, "Leng Yu, you are familiar with Qingyin in our palace, and your mouth is tighter, Qingluan and Huangque, I am not so relieved." ”
Hearing Jing Shengwu's command, Leng Yu nodded thoughtfully. Although Qingyin has never been to the palace, she has also experienced some days in the mansion, and she is not a stupid girl like Xueyue, and she also understands the meaning of Jing Shengwu's words at the moment.
In this palace, people only speak three points when they see people, and they stay eight distractions when they meet people. Although Qingluan and Huang Que chose to follow them that day, they did not leave this Changle Palace, which made Jing Shengwu feel very moved.
But...... It is not ruled out that the two of them are trying to pass on the news to other masters!
After experiencing the parrot incident, Jing Shengwu didn't dare to be too careful in everything.
In the Zhong Cui Palace, Concubine De walked around the palace angrily. The whole person exuded a fiery anger. This made the palace maids serving beside her dare not come forward, nor did they dare to say a word to her.
Although Concubine De is very gentle and well-behaved in front of the emperor, she has always been arrogant and domineering in the palace of the queen and herself. In addition, Concubine De pursued iron-blooded methods of cracking down on her subordinates. When she was angry, it made the palace people shudder.
"Sister, what's going on today, why did you go to the Millennium Palace and become like this?"
The palace maids stood tremblingly on the ground, for fear of a superfluous action. was made into that punching bag by Concubine De, who was getting up, and a coquettish voice was heard.
As this voice came, the palace maids all breathed a sigh of relief. This is Concubine De's sister, Sishengwu on the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Xiyan. With her here, I think Concubine De's anger should be able to eliminate a lot.
"Hmph, didn't you see the smug face of Jing Shengwu's poor and sour people when I got up this morning. It's just a third lady of Jingfu, and if she is crowned a princess, she dares to compete with me! I don't want to think about what she is, what she is pretentious in front of me! ”
Seeing her sister come in, Concubine De was very annoyed, but she still replied. She has felt that everything has not gone well recently, since Jing Shengwu entered the palace, even the emperor who has been staying with her has gone to the Millennium Palace!
It seems that Jing Shengwu must have picked up something in front of the emperor and let the emperor go to the old woman of the queen. Thinking that the queen not only has Chu Yu in her hands now, but also has a helper in the palace, Concubine De felt sad.
If she could have conceived and have a child back then, I am afraid that the position of the queen in this palace is hers, why is she being bullied by the old woman of the queen and the slut Jing Shengwu like this today!
"Sister, this Jing Shengwu is now a princess, and it is the time to be proud. When my sister heard that she had helped the emperor solve the quarrel between Rong Churong Shizi and King Xiang, the emperor would naturally feel sorry for her for a few days, and let her be proud. ”
Zhao Xiyan said softly, poured a cup of snow-topped gold mountain for Concubine De, and slowly handed it to Concubine De. "Besides, around the queen's mother, aren't there people who look at her very unpleasantly? Let's just wait for them to make trouble in the nest, so why worry. ”
Hearing this, Concubine De smiled, thinking of Leng Xiang's intriguing gaze, and agreed with Zhao Xiyan's opinion, and drank the tea in her hand, only then did she feel that the irritation in her heart had dropped a lot.
"By the way, that chess piece has been with her recently, and she is still very peaceful, right?" Suddenly thinking of the palace maid who had not been used for a long time, Concubine De asked.
"Sister rest assured, my sister personally brought the person. How can you be restless? Now that she is in the Changle Palace, she can already be regarded as a person who can be trusted by Jing Shengwu. Hearing Concubine De's question, Zhao Xiyan didn't know what she was thinking, so she answered softly at the moment.
Jing Shengwu. You are proud of this palace for a while, the parrot missed last time, let you live for a few more days, you should cherish it.
In the side hall of Fengtian Palace, Emperor Chu Heng was sitting on the dragon couch. Looking at the fold in his hand, he frowned slightly. It's been a while, why haven't you seen Li Ya coming?
After about half an hour, Li Ya hurriedly entered the Fengtian Hall and reported to Chu Heng, "Your Majesty, Chu Yu and King Jing have already arrived outside the Xuanzi Gate, and they will arrive in a while." ”
"Why did you go for so long?"
Hearing the emperor's slightly angry question, Li Ya immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his head, "The servant arrived at the Chu Imperial Mansion to deliver the decree." Chu Yu took the side concubine to Jingfu as a guest, and the slave ran to Jingfu, delaying the time. ”
When Chu Heng heard this, he didn't say anything, snorted coldly in his nose, and continued to look at his folds. Seeing that the emperor did not mean to blame, Li Ya wiped the cold sweat on his head.
Soon, I saw the little eunuch come to report that Chu Yu and King Jing had arrived. Only then did Chu Heng raise his head and order Li Ya to bring the two in.
King Jing is the most idle cloud and wild crane. So it's not too luxurious to wear on weekdays. He inherited Concubine Jing's indifferent and distant temper, and he didn't care about anything. Especially when it comes to the battle for the throne, he doesn't seem to value these things.
But King Jing has his own good calligraphy, although he can't compare to Chu Yu and King Xiang. But it's not too bad. Therefore, among the civil ministers, there is a very heavy power to speak.
As for Chu Yu, he is a person who knows the general situation the most, his temper is warm and unassuming, his writing can make a fuss, and his martial arts can level the world. He is the most optimistic person of the court.
Both of them are slender and gentle men like beautiful jade, standing in front of the emperor side by side, Rao is Chu Heng sighed in his heart.
"I have summoned you here today because I have a difficult matter to discuss with you." Chu Heng waved his hand and instructed Li Ya to bring chairs to the two of them and let them sit in their lower positions.
"But it doesn't hurt for the father to say that the sons will serve their father." Hearing this, Chu Yu and King Jing said to Chu Heng together.
"Hehe, it's not too difficult, it's just that I just choose one of the two of you. Yelu Xiongnu of Mobei proposed to marry our Chu State and send Princess Yelu to make peace. If it's someone else, it's fine, but he asks that it must be our royal family's direct family to marry the princess. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Heng paused and stopped talking, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and quietly looked at the faces of the two princes. King Jing hadn't changed much, as if he hadn't thought of the meaning of this at all; It was Chu Yu who frowned at the moment, with a look of embarrassment.
Could it really be that as the queen said, Yu'er has a favorite candidate in her heart?
"I don't know what my father wants?" After being silent for a while, it was Chu Yu who asked.
"Hehe, now Xiang'er has married the concubine, and among my princes, the two of you have never married the concubine. This Princess Yelu was born very beautiful, and since she is Princess Mobei, her temperament will not be bad. ”
Chu Heng took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly, "As for the two of you, your age is the same, and your temperament is also the most reassuring to me. ”
Hearing this, King Jing's face was slightly moved. It turned out that Chu Heng actually wanted to stuff this Yelu princess into the hands of the two of them, so that he could be a victim of this harmony.
Although Chu Heng's words are good, this Princess Yelu is far away in Mobei, who knows what it looks like? Besides, she is a native of Mobei, and her folk customs have always been fierce, how could this princess be gentle?
Seeing that the two princes were silent and did not speak, Chu Heng's face changed slightly, "You are all my princes, but you are just marrying a woman." If she is not satisfied with this woman, she will have a good life in the future, so that she will have the title of concubine. ”
As he spoke, Chu Heng put the teacup on the table heavily, because of the excessive force, even the tea lid rolled off the table and shattered to the ground, "It's just a woman, if this matter can't be solved, how can I solve other problems?" What's the use of asking you princes! ”
Seeing Chu Heng angry, Chu Yu and King Jing immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads to him. King Jing bit his lip, his eyes flashed, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
"Returning to my father, it's not that my son doesn't want to share my father's worries, it's that my son already has a candidate for a concubine in his heart. If this makes Princess Nayelu a concubine, I am afraid that the person will pass by Erchen, so Erchen really doesn't want to speak. ”
Just when Chu Heng was about to reprimand angrily, Chu Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, took a step forward and opened his mouth. Hearing this, Chu Heng was slightly stunned for a moment, and asked, "You already have a favorite candidate?" ”
Chu Yu nodded, Chu Heng stroked his beard, thought for a moment and then continued, "That's okay, if you marry this Yelu princess and contribute to our Chu country, I only make a will, let you marry this woman together, and it is also the position of the main concubine, so that you can have two concubines, how about it?" ”
As he spoke, Chu Heng looked at Chu Yu who was kneeling on the ground, "These two concubines, but it's a rare thing, you still don't feel satisfied?" ”
Hearing this, Chu Yu knelt on the ground and smiled bitterly, as if he was a little unspeakable, "But Father, I'm afraid that woman won't tolerate going to be the concubine with other women." The arrogance in her heart, I'm afraid that even her father and emperor don't know about it. ”
"Oh? Who is this woman, who won't even obey the emperor's command? ”
"Father, this woman's marriage matter, I am afraid that she will not obey her father's master, and her father has personally promised her that her marriage will not be coerced by anyone. So the man she marries will be the one she likes. Therefore, Shu Erchen couldn't share his father's worries and married Princess Nayelu! ”
Chu Yu knelt on the ground, took a deep breath, and finally said these words in one breath. He knew that if he didn't say it today, he was afraid that the emperor would force him to marry Princess Nayelu.
He is the one who wants to compete for the position of the hidden dragon in the future, how can he tolerate that concubine is a mother clan without any assistance, and even when she fights against Mobei in the future, she is a woman who is an enemy country?
Hearing Chu Yu say this, Chu Heng's face had a thoughtful look, "What you said, but my eldest princess, Changle?" ”
Taking a deep breath, Chu Yu nodded, "It's Changle!" ”
Seeing that Chu Yu was so sure, the emperor showed a look of embarrassment. It's easy to say this if someone else, but Jing Shengwu is an edict from his own mouth, giving marriage to Rong Chu, the son of Rong Wangfu, how can this Rong Shizi be so easy to think with? (To be continued.) )
