Chapter 274
"It's all my fault, it's me who has affected Mu Gongzi......" Princess Rou'an hesitated for a moment, answered truthfully, and was even more worried in her heart, really afraid that Emperor Shang Jing would ask her again how she had affected Mu Wenhan. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters - fiction щwwlā.}
Emperor Shang Jing didn't ask Princess Rou'an any more questions that worried her, but asked a question that made Princess Rou'an a little confused: "How are you going to ask for guilt?" ”
“…… No matter how his father punishes him, Rou'an has no complaints......" Princess Rou'an was stunned for a moment and replied.
"So...... How about marrying into Shijian? Emperor Shang Jing hesitated, but his tone was still very calm.
Princess Rou'an felt like a bolt from the blue, since the banquet, Emperor Shang Jing and Shijian envoys did not mention the matter of harmony, but the princess of Shijian has already lived in the palace. Because Mu Wenhan went to ask for emotional intelligence Emperor Jing agreed, Princess Rou'an naturally felt that she didn't have to marry Shijian. But he never thought that Emperor Shang Jing would bring it up at this time. Are you just trying to test yourself? Or was Emperor Shang Jing just perfunctory Mu Wenhan before, but in fact, he always wanted to marry himself off in his heart?
Princess Rou'an broke out in a cold sweat, if Emperor Shang Jing didn't hesitate before asking this question, she still felt that Emperor Shang Jing might be joking with herself, just test herself. However, Emperor Shang Jing's hesitation made Princess Rou'an feel very uneasy, and she had a strong feeling that Emperor Shang Jing should be serious.
What can I do? Princess Rou'an would definitely be embarrassed when she thought of coming back to face Emperor Shang Jing, she thought that she would just grit her teeth and survive. However, now this is the case. How do you answer? Princess Joan is completely messed up.
"Father...... Didn't my father promise Mu Gongzi not to let me marry Shijian? Princess Rou'an was stunned for a long time, and asked in a trembling voice. She didn't dare to disobey Emperor Shang Jingdi's order, but she was even more reluctant to agree to Emperor Shang Jing's request, what if as soon as she agreed, Emperor Shang Jing really let her marry? I didn't understand Mu Wenhan's intentions before, she was still unwilling to marry Shijian, not to mention that now that Mu Wenhan has feelings for herself, where is she willing to leave?
"I just promised to give him a chance......" Emperor Shang Jing glanced at Princess Rou'an in some surprise. I didn't expect her to dare not agree. This once again shocked Emperor Shang Jing. In memory. Princess Rou'an has never expressed the slightest dissatisfaction with his orders, can the power of love change a person?
"I just said at the time, if Taifu agrees...... Now it seems that Taifu obviously disagrees......"
"Not really. Father ...... "Princess Rou'an is a little anxious. Eagerly. "Master Taifu didn't say he disagreed......
"So he said yes? If you really agree. Why was Mu Wenhan beaten? Emperor Shang Jing snorted coldly.
Princess Rouan couldn't help but shrink her body, yes. Mu Qi disagrees, which everyone can see.
"Moreover, the situation is different now......" Emperor Shang Jing sighed, and there was obvious helplessness in his tone.
Princess Joan panicked again. Courage to ask, "Now, what's the difference?" ”
didn't want to get the emperor's answer, after all, Emperor Shang Jing has never taken himself to heart. Princess Rou'an just thought, can she divert from this topic? At least, give her a little time to prepare, and she must not marry to Shijian to get married.
"Nothing...... You prepare, you are going to get married in a month......" Emperor Shang Jing probably didn't think of what he said, hesitated slightly, and didn't explain. Instead, he directly ordered Princess Rou'an, "If you are bored these days, you can go out of the palace to have fun...... But don't go to Mufu...... For the sake of Mu Wenhan, don't go to Mu Mansion. ”
Although these words are very mild, the meaning that cannot be refuted is obvious.
What's going on? It was just a suspicion just now, and now it's settled? Princess Rou'an was completely stunned, what the hell happened? She's going crazy, she doesn't have time to react to what's going on? The first reaction was to refuse: "Father, don't ......"
"This matter is settled, you can go down......" Emperor Shang Jing didn't look unbearable. With his eyes closed, he wanted to get rid of Princess Joan.
"Father, please, all these years, no matter what you want me to do. I'm just doing what you want without saying a word. However, this time, can you be gracious, father? Please, take pity on me for once. The first time I beg you, don't marry me to Shijian, please father......"
Princess Rou'an was shocked and disappointed in her heart, and was scared. He speaks incoherently, and whatever comes to mind is what he thinks. But because of this, it seems even more sincere, which makes people very unbearable.
Emperor Shang Jing also opened his eyes, and his heart was also sour. After listening to Princess Rou'an's words, I found that this daughter was already a teenager, but since she was a child, she never seemed to have been coquettish with him or begged him for anything. However, the first time she begged her father to do something, as a father, he couldn't agree.
Emperor Shang Jing suddenly felt extremely irritable, and the anger that he had suppressed before erupted again, and he roared at Princess Rou'an: "As a princess, you have enjoyed the honor and wealth of a princess, and naturally you should also assume the responsibilities that a princess should bear. If you marry into Shijian or not, it is for the sake of the long-term peace and happiness of the two countries. Look at the princess of Shijian, isn't she also married to our Dajin? is also a princess, why can't you marry if someone can marry? It's the same princess, why can't you keep up with others? is the same princess, why is there such a big difference? ”
Emperor Shang Jing shouted out the anger in his heart regardless of it, and finally got a little better, took a breath, and looked at Princess Rou'an.
Princess Rou'an was already completely frightened, and she felt terrible about Emperor Shang Jing's anger, but what was even more terrifying was the words that Emperor Shang Jing said. In fact, Princess Rou'an knew very well in her heart that she, the princess, was really nothing in the eyes of Emperor Shang Jing. No matter how much he pleaded, he probably wouldn't agree. But there is always a glimmer of hope in my heart, maybe Emperor Shang Jing is willing to take a step back? But now, Shang Jingdi's answer. It has made Princess Joan completely desperate. What's even more depressing is that the words that Emperor Shang Jing said really broke Princess Rou'an's heart.
Yes, she knew that she was a princess, and she should abandon her own private preferences for the sake of the country. However, after all, it is such a big thing as marrying, especially on the premise that she has a sweetheart, how can she calmly prepare to marry someone else? But as a father. As a father. Shang Jingdi not only did not mean to apologize. Instead, she blamed her for not doing well enough as a princess. Princess Joan's tears could not be held back anymore. Snatching out of the eyes.
"Father, you can do whatever you want me to do, but please don't do it...... I'd rather die. Don't ...... like that," Princess Rouan broke down and cried. Don't forget to make the last struggle.
looked at Princess Joan who was crying very sadly. Emperor Shang Jing's heart also became even more irritable. After all, it's also his own daughter. It's impossible not to feel distressed at all, but what can he do?
"Enough! What's the use of crying and crying! You don't want to think about it either. In addition to marrying to Shijian and marrying each other, what else can I want you to do for this country? Die? Do you think your life matters......"
It turned out that he was in the emperor's heart, and he turned out to be like this, useless. Even lives are worthless. Princess Joan couldn't even cry anymore.
"Majesty!" An exclamation interrupted Emperor Shang Jing's continued injury.
Princess Rou'an was already stupid, and she didn't raise her eyelids, and Emperor Shang Jing looked up, and it was Queen Xue who came in. Empress Xue looked anxious, and her eyes were full of unbearability. The eunuch guarding the door anxiously followed behind Queen Xue, anxious, but he didn't dare to speak.
The queen wants to break in, how dare he stop it? However, the emperor will lose his temper. He can only bear it. Sneaking a glance at Princess Rou'an, who was kneeling on the ground and looked completely crying. The eunuch guarding the door couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had already said that the emperor was in a bad mood, don't come in, it's not that he doesn't listen. It's good now, not only has it affected me, but even the queen has been implicated. The eunuch guarding the door felt a chill down his spine, and couldn't help but secretly take two steps back.
Emperor Shang Jing stared at Empress Xue fiercely, this was the first time. Empress Xue broke in directly without saying hello. Empress Xue has always been a sensible person, especially when someone is there, she pays special attention to giving Emperor Shang Jing enough face. In terms of etiquette, she will never be sloppy. Breaking in in such a hurry today. It can be seen that it is really urgent.
"You go down first! Don't let anyone else in! Empress Xue calmed down, first ordered the eunuch guarding the door, sent him out, and then knelt down to ask for peace, "The concubine gives your majesty Xià to ask for peace." ”
Emperor Shang Jing was also angry when he saw Empress Xue's approach, you still know that you have to stop others from coming in. How do you do it?
"What does this mean, Queen?" Emperor Shang Jing did not ask Empress Xue to get up, but asked with a cold face.
"The concubine knows that Her Majesty is angry, but the concubine still has to say everything that needs to be said......" Empress Xue took a deep breath and didn't mean to get up, "Rou'an is the princess of Dajin, and she does have the responsibility to sacrifice for this country." However, Rou'an is just a child after all, why can't you bear to say that? ”
Emperor Shang Jing was stunned for a moment, for so many years, Empress Xue has always been obedient to herself. Regardless of whether she agreed or disagreed with what he said, she would not say it directly like this, especially now that she was still asking rhetorically with a reproachful tone. Emperor Shang Jing felt that today's Empress Xue was too strange, and she was not the same person as she was in peace. Regarding Princess Rou'an's marriage to Shijian, they hadn't discussed it before. But Empress Xue doesn't have this attitude, although she also feels sorry for Princess Rou'an, and has been trying to avoid getting along, but she has never said that Emperor Shang Jingdi's approach is wrong, and she has never questioned in the slightest, what's wrong today?
Is it really just to maintain Princess Joan? Is it really just a simple listening to your own words, and you think it's too much? No, no, that's not Empress Xue's style. Emperor Shang Jing was very sure that even if the person he scolded today was Shang Qirui, Empress Xue would not have such a big reaction, so what was her abnormality for today?
After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Shang Jing realized that in the face of Empress Xue's "transgression", his first reaction was not to be angry, but to wonder why she was so abnormal? Emperor Shang Jing suddenly felt that the trust he had in his heart for Empress Xue was completely beyond his own imagination.
"Are you accusing me?" Emperor Shang Jing had a cold face and came back to his senses from his own world. Ask Empress Xue.
"The concubine doesn't dare." Empress Xue lowered her head, with a little trepidation, "The concubine just feels sorry for Rou'an's child." ”
"And what do you think I should do?" Emperor Shang Jing regained his previous calm and expressionless state.
"Concubine...... The concubine didn't want Her Majesty to change her decision or anything, she just wanted Her Majesty to be a little gentle with Rou'an, after all, she was also your daughter. If Rou'an really marries Shijian, you may never see her again in your life, how can you bear it? Now. Still talking about her? Empress Xue's eyes were red. Soft channel.
Emperor Shang Jing's heart was punched. "You may never see her again in your life", this sentence made Shang Jingdi's heart hurt fiercely. This daughter, he is too unfamiliar with if he never sees it again. He probably won't even remember what she looks like.
Princess Joan who has been in her own sad state. I finally came back to my senses at this time. Seeing the queen who has always been the most well-behaved, for herself. collided with Emperor Shang Jing like this. The sadness in my heart was suppressed for the time being. Queen Xue has always taken good care of Princess Rou'an, not the kind to bring her out. The kind of care that gave her how good the treatment was. Instead, let her hide in the shadows, secretly give her all kinds of protection, let her feel less in the palace, and try not to arouse anyone's hatred and jealousy. Such protection. Truth be told, it's tougher.
Princess Rou'an didn't have a mother when she was a child, but she never felt that she lacked maternal love, because she really regarded Queen Xue as her mother. The queen mother of the biological mother. Therefore, Princess Rou'an couldn't see Empress Xue offending Emperor Shang Jing because of her own affairs. Emperor Shang Jing was like this just now, he was still very good at talking one moment, but he became angry the next, and what he said was simply devastating.
"The Queen Mother. Don't talk about it......" Princess Rou'an rushed over and stopped Queen Xue from continuing, "I...... It doesn't matter what I do, you don't have to fight with your father, my father also has my father's difficulties......"
Princess Rou'an really didn't want to say this sentence, but for the sake of Queen Xue, she could only endure her grievances first.
"Rou'an, you ......"
"Queen Mother, please. Don't talk about it...... "Princess Rou'an couldn't hold back her tears again, she had no regrets about having a queen mother who protected her like this.
"As a queen, you know what you're doing today. What are the consequences? Emperor Shang Jing really started to think about it as Princess Rou'an thought, this sentence was asked by Queen Xue, and there was no Princess Rou'an in her eyes at all.
When Empress Xue heard Emperor Shang Jing's words, she was about to start looking for her mistakes, and she was stunned. He bowed his head and said: "The concubine knows, it doesn't matter how His Majesty punishes him." ”
said that it didn't matter, and there was grievance in his voice, which Emperor Shang Jing could also hear.
"Father, all the mistakes are Rou'an's fault, it's not about the queen mother, don't embarrass the queen mother......"
Bewilderment? Who's struggling with whom? Emperor Shang Jing was so angry in his heart that he didn't look at Princess Rou'an at all, and directly interrupted her: "I and the queen are talking, what are you interjecting?" Who are you to question my approach here? ”
Princess Rou'an's face turned red, but she really didn't dare to speak, she felt that Emperor Shang Jing seemed to be deliberately finding fault today.
Empress Xue also noticed this, frowned slightly, and shouted: "Your Majesty xià......"
"As you said yourself, it doesn't matter how you punish you, right?" Emperor Shang Jing didn't want to hear what Empress Xue said at all.
"Yes...... Yes......" Empress Xue's expression darkened, and she nodded yes.
"Very well, without my permission, you broke into the imperial study without permission, and despised the royal authority, I will ...... Punish you...... Grounded for a month, go back to your own palace and reflect on it, this month, without my permission, you are not allowed to come out again......" Emperor Shang Jing hesitated, but still said the decision to punish, and looked at Empress Xue, as if he wanted to see if she would resist.
Although it is true that Empress Xue did something inappropriate today, it is still too strict to say that she despises the monarch's authority. Shang Jingdi's punishment was too heavy. You must know that Empress Xue is the queen, and she has to deal with the daily life of the harem, and she can't leave her every day. If Empress Xue is grounded, it will be tantamount to announcing to the world that Empress Xue has fallen out of favor.
Princess Rou'an didn't know how many times she had been scared silly today, and Emperor Shang Jing was really ruthless, more and more fierce every time. Unexpectedly want to ban Queen Xue's feet? Just because Empress Xue said a few words for herself?
"Father, the queen mother has not done anything wrong, please be gracious, don't ban the queen mother's feet. Whatever you want me to do, I'll say yes. This time, Princess Rou'an didn't cry anymore and calmed down a lot.
It's not because I'm not sad in my heart, but I'm really dead. Isn't Shang Jingdi's action just for himself? Marry it, marry it, anyway, she won't really marry Shijian, it's a big deal, it's just a death. You can't really let Empress Xue be grounded by the emperor for her own sake. You must know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the position of the queen in this harem, even all day long. How many people are eager to find Queen Xue's fault and pull her down from the position of queen. In any case, Empress Xue could not be placed in such a position.
Moreover, if he dies, maybe it will be a good thing for Mu Wenhan. In the current situation, even if Mu Qi agrees to their marriage, he will definitely be disappointed with Mu Wenhan. But if he is gone, nothing can affect Mu Wenhan.
Princess Rou'an had already made up her mind to die, and she simply agreed to the emperor's request to marry Shijian. Don't you just want to marry into Shijian? It's good to agree, as long as Emperor Shang Jing doesn't embarrass Empress Xue anymore.
"Rou'an, you ......"
"Is it okay to marry to Shijian?" Emperor Shang Jing interrupted Empress Xue's words and asked Princess Rou'an.
"Yes, as long as the father doesn't embarrass the queen mother." Princess Rou'an raised her head and looked at Emperor Shangshang Jing. This is the first time that Princess Rou'an has lived for more than ten years, and it is the first time since she has been sensible that she has looked directly at Emperor Shang Jing like this.
No matter what Emperor Shang Jing said to him, Princess Rou'an just couldn't hate her, after all, she was her father who she had admired since she was a child, and she could forgive and understand what he did. It's just a pity that although I have been a father and daughter in this life, I can't have any warm memories like ordinary fathers and daughters. I only hope that if there is still such an indifferent family relationship in the next life, it is better to be a stranger.
Seeing Princess Rou'an's answer so firmly, Emperor Shang Jing was also a little moved in his heart. Obviously, he didn't want to marry Shijian so much, but in order to save the queen, he even agreed to this request. It can be seen that this child at least knows how to be grateful. If there is a future, Emperor Shang Jing secretly made up his mind to be better to Princess Rou'an.
"That's what you're supposed to do." However, what Emperor Shang Jing said made Princess Rou'an and Queen Xue fall into despair, "Whether you agree or not, you have to marry Shijian...... And the queen, if she does something wrong, she should be punished, so the order of the grounding will be carried out from now on! ”
Princess Rou'an looked at Emperor Shang Jing in disbelief again, was this really her father who she had admired since she was a child? He had compromised himself to this point, and he still said that the decision he had made with so much determination was worthless. So what's the point of her saving zài?
"Don't you want to do anything, don't threaten me with life and death, I don't eat that." Emperor Shang Jing seemed to have figured out what Princess Rou'an was thinking this time, "You'd better stay honestly, and there are many ways to deal with you." If you don't want someone you care about to get hurt, just be obedient. ”
Princess Rou'an's sentence "If you don't agree, I'll die" was so lightly plugged back into her stomach, and she really couldn't fight the emperor for anything. Princess Rou'an's face turned pale, she really was, she couldn't do anything.
"Your Majesty, you are so cruel...... Empress Xue couldn't hold back any longer, she stood up directly from the ground, and wanted to talk to Emperor Shang Jing.
"Is the queen dissatisfied with this punishment?" Emperor Shang Jing looked at Empress Xue from above, and there was no trace of temperature in his calm eyes.
"The concubine doesn't dare." Empress Xue was stunned for a moment, took a step back, and bowed her head slightly.
"Don't dare to be the best." Emperor Shang Jing said coldly, "My words, no one wants to question them, including the queen!" ”
Empress Xue's words were blocked back like this, and she couldn't say a word. (To be continued.) )
