The twelfth concubine plan
As soon as Yan Zhonglin arrived in Gaoyang, there was a spy of Wei in Gaoyang, Feige, who sent a message back to China. The spies released three pigeons in one go, just in case anything went wrong. The three pigeons flew back to Wei one by one, but what they brought with them was not good news.
There are only about 20 days left before May 16, when the marriage was proposed, and there were unexpectedly branches. Zhou Yi didn't sleep all night after hearing this, and Shen was distressed and anxious. Shen Yan was happy, he expected that Zhou Daozhao would not have a stalemate with Emperor Yan now, and he would definitely not dare to compete with Wu Yue, the king of Gaoyang Kingdom was going to marry into Yan Kingdom, so that his daughter Shen Qingying would have another chance. When Shen Qingying knew, he couldn't help but worry about his second cousin, seeing that his father was gloating, Shen Qingying didn't even eat well, and begged the Buddha and Bodhisattva for a few days to bless Zhou Yi and Yangyun for a smooth marriage.
And Yan Zhonglin waited for these ten days, he was really a little ashamed and annoyed, he couldn't figure it out, it was obviously a good thing - the dignified prince of Yan State was much stronger than a mere prince of Wei State - why Gao Yangguo did not immediately agree, but delayed for so many days, looking at Yang Xi's attitude, he was obviously a little reluctant. After thinking about it, Yan Zhonglin felt that Gao Yang might want to raise the identity of the king and raise the identity of the king, so that Yan Guo could also pay attention to Yangyun in the future. No matter what, Yang Xi didn't explicitly refuse, but there was always hope.
Yan Zhonglin was even ready to stay in Gaoyang for a month until the negotiation was completed.
Yang Xi also wanted to refuse Yan Zhonglin and let him go home early, but he took into account Zhou Daozhao's identity and was afraid that Wei would be embarrassed. Although the two countries have not officially begun to discuss marriage, before Wei has a clear attitude, whether he accepts or rejects, Yang Xi is indeed not good at making his own decisions.
After another five days, Yan Zhonglin couldn't help it, and cheekily went into the palace to find Yang Xi to find out. Yang Xi diverted the topic several times, and Yan Zhonglin was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away, but because he was unwilling, he didn't leave completely, so he continued to stay in Gaoyang Country Post House. Yang Xi ignored it when he heard it, and he still relied on Gao Yang.
After Yan Zhonglin left, Yang Xi couldn't help but sigh for a long time, and it wasn't until the waiter came to report that Yang Yun was coming, that he accepted his sadness and showed a little smile.
"Yun'er, there are only uncles and you here, if you have anything to say, you can speak bluntly to your uncle. Uncle is desperate not to be the lord of this country, and he can't let your sisters be wronged. ”
Yang Yun looked at Yang Xi steadily, and saw that his eye sockets were blue, his lips were chapped, and his complexion was not as good as before, but his eyes were very firm when he looked at her, knowing that he couldn't eat or sleep well for days for his own affairs, so he became more and more determined.
"Uncle, Yun'er wants to beg you, and agreed to Yan Guo's proposal to marry, and chose the nearest day to start discussing marriage." When Yang Yun said this, her tone was so flat that she felt frightened.
Yang Xi just wanted to say that Yang Yun and Zhou Yi were in love, but he had to swallow it. Yang Xi is deviant, he can accept this kind of thing, but saying it is humiliating to Yang Yun after all, and he can't open his mouth no matter what.
"But the prince of Yan State is a continuation of the string, and I don't know if it is his wife," Yang Xi had to find some excuses, thinking that he was inclined to let Yang Yun marry Wei State, "He is ** years older than you, how can you marry such a person." We have met many times in the second son, and I can talk to you when I see you, compared to the prince who doesn't know the roots, isn't it very good? ”
"Uncle, niece knows that you are in trouble, and you should also know my heart. Since I have chosen this, I must have my reasons. At this point, the niece must not marry to Wei again. Seeing that Yang Xi was a little confused, Yang Yun had no choice but to continue to explain, "Uncle once told me that the Wei State has a big plan, and what they want is a Gaoyang lord who can guide the hearts of the people, not a disaster that brings swords and soldiers. ”
Yang Xi originally understood this truth, but Wei Guo didn't send anyone to explain it one day, he always had a glimmer of hope, as long as Yang Yun wanted to marry, he would try his best to fight for it. But now that Yang Yun's words were so decisive, it was all unexpected by him, Yang Xi was a little dazed for a while, but he didn't know what to do.
Yang Yun persuaded again, and finally said faintly, "Marrying Yan Guo is good for everyone", said goodbye, and turned around and left.
Yang Yun never said a word, she was afraid that once Yang Xi heard it, she would reject Yan Zhonglin regardless of it, and lay the root cause for Gao Yang: Yan Guo prepared a generous gift, and sent a first-class member and the crown prince to come all the way to ask for marriage, and the prince of Yan Guo did not have any notoriety, and he was not much more virtuous than his father. "Since there is no reason, how can my uncle refuse?"
But Yang Yun can't say this: it's one thing for her to marry Wei State, but it's another thing to marry Yan State for Gao Yangguo. If Yang Xi feels that Yang Yun is sacrificing for him and Gao Yang, I'm afraid he will really fight for the position of the lord of the country, right? Yang Yun thought to herself, although she still didn't know the truth about her parents' death, she was willing to believe that her uncle was really good to her sister.
Yang Xiao had been in a daze, and when she heard Yang Yun say that she had decided to marry Yan Guo, she suddenly jumped up from the Hu chair and hugged her sister's body and cried. Yang Yun endured it for a few days, but now when she sees Yang Xiao crying, she can't hold back anymore, tears are pouring down, but she can't cry. At that time, only Yin'er was waiting, and she couldn't help but cry when she saw this scene.
"Sister, I'll marry you instead! Don't they want a Gaoyang lord to be the crown princess? I am also the king, I will marry you on your behalf! My sister is still married to the second son, don't go to Yan Kingdom! Yang Xiao cried and shouted, with a lot of snot and tears, which wet Yang Yun's clothes.
Yang Yun didn't know whether to be funny or sad when she heard it, so she took a handkerchief and wiped her sister's face, her movements were soft, and she carefully wiped her sister's face as if she would never see her again.
"A good Hangzhou silk jacket has been cried by you." Yang Yun smiled and said to Yang Xiao, "How old are you, what do you say if you marry someone or not?" There is no shame either. ”
"I'm very old, I'm going to be eleven years old, won't it take at least two years to get married? I'll be thirteen in two years, and I'll be the same age as my sister now, and I can get married! As Yang Xiao spoke, he was so anxious that he wanted to cry again.
"Silly boy, Yan Guo even prepared all the financial gifts and sent them together, do you have to wait for another two years? You can wait, and the prince can't wait. I heard that the prince is still a good person, and I will not suffer if I marry. ”
In fact, where did Yang Yun know what kind of person the prince of Yan Guo was, he had never paid attention to it before, but it was not good to inquire about it at this time-if she wanted to marry something, she would not have to live. said that Wu Chengsu was good, it was all to appease his sister.
Yang Xiao didn't eat this, she had long recognized that Yang Yun liked Zhou Yi, but she was afraid that her sister would worry, and Yang Xiao no longer shouted to marry on her behalf, but secretly hoped that Zhou Yi would take her sister to escape, and on the other hand, she was thinking hard about how to marry on her behalf.
