Chapter 252: Settled
Three days after talking to the garden of Siam, the Siamese princess Tully was invited back to the palace, and the prince knew that this was a decision to be made in the palace, and the Siamese hour was almost about to leave for China.
Talking to Tully that day, Xibao didn't want to wake her up anything, after all, how this Tully will live in the future has nothing to do with her, she just thinks that she is also a woman, and it is good to let her see the point, after all, this qiē has been doomed since Tully became a princess, and it is better to face it than to escape.
For the matter of Tully and his relatives, Xibao already had a prejudgment in his heart, but everyone was undecided who the flowers were, and after a few days, the news of the marriage came out of the palace.
As soon as this news came out, not to mention the courtiers, none of the noblewomen in the capital were not surprised, Emperor Qi Wen actually married Talixu to King Heng, and it was as Princess Ping, that is, she was on an equal footing with Princess Heng, that is, she was just one big and one small.
There are very few things about marrying a flat wife outside the palace, not to mention that there has never been such a situation in the royal family, and everyone has different opinions, some envy King Heng's good life, and some sympathize with Princess Heng's hard life.
When the news reached Xibao's ears, Xibao was really taken aback, she guessed from Qi You's words that the most likely person should be King Shen, why did he marry Prince Heng without warning, and it was also the identity of Princess Ping, is this just because King Heng was the reception of the Siamese envoy, thinking of this, Xibao couldn't help but be a little worried.
Worried about Qi You, worried about Tully, and worried about Princess Heng, although Xibao She didn't want Qi You to marry Tully, but behind Tully is the future of the entire Siam country, such a strong Yue family backer was given to King Heng so lightly, it is inevitable that King Heng will not have any thoughts that should not be had, if so, then Qi You will have to experience King Shen again.
As for Tully, Xibao is not worried about how she will do when she marries into the Hengwang Mansion. As a chess piece, the result is the same wherever they marry, and they are all bargaining chips for the two countries, as long as Qi Dynasty and Siam are still allies. can still be friends all the time, then Princess Tully can also live a more nourishing life, as for the sincerity she wants, I am afraid that a man like King Heng will not give it at all, she is worried that Tully will become a bargaining chip for King Heng to secretly win over forces. In this way, Qi You has to take another layer of defense.
As for Princess Heng, the relationship is not bad, although she knows that the relationship between Princess Heng and King Heng is average, but such a decision in the palace is still a little embarrassing for her, but Xibao is only worried that she will feel uncomfortable, as for such a thing as a rupture, the mediocre Princess Heng can't do it, but this Tully will become the thorn in her throat.
Hey, such an unexpected arrangement, what did the palace think. Xibao really can't figure it out.
In the palace, I can't figure out not only Xibao, but Princess Liu, who has been busy for a while, is also full of shock, she obviously got the hint of the queen, saying that this Princess Tully is the most likely to marry into her mansion, but what is the situation now, the palace actually married Princess Tully to a person that everyone didn't expect, Lord Heng, it really shouldn't be.
In this way, her careful care for the past ten days will not be in vain. Her wishful thinking was thus frustrated.
It turned out that the reason why Princess Liu was so active in promoting Qi You and Tully was to suppress Xibao's momentum, although Xibao was still low-key over the years, Qi You's love for her was also increasing. Princess Liu has long felt the urgency, but she has not been able to find an exit, and she wanted to take advantage of this marriage to slap Xibao hard, which is good, it is really a bamboo basket for nothing.
Although chagrined. But Princess Liu still faintly felt a hint of luck, Princess Ping, if this really happens, then this is not Princess Heng, and she really didn't expect the palace to give such a great grace.
What does Princess Ping mean, not only means power and honor, but also means that the same as the heirs of Concubine Zheng enjoy the same right to inherit their father's business and be canonized as the son of the world, which means that Princess Ping and Concubine Zheng are incompatible by nature, and if Princess Liu is replaced, she will also feel like a great enemy, she wants to suppress and suppress Xibao's grace, but it is not to the point where she wants to make trouble for herself, so this is her faint luck.
Four days after the wedding, the Siamese envoys set off to return home, and Qi You, as the prince, naturally wanted to accompany him, and sent away the Siamese envoys, and Qi You was left by Emperor Qi Wen to speak.
In the palace of raising the heart, only Emperor Qi Wen and Qi You father and son were left, Xue Gonggong naturally stayed outside the palace, since the matter of King Shen was dealt with, the relationship between Qi You and Qi Wen Emperor became deeper and deeper, and there were often scenes of father and son talking alone, and Xue Gonggong also tacitly guarded the door for their father and son.
In the hall, Emperor Qi Wen coughed a little and said, "Ahem, what do you think about this?" ”
Qi You handed a glass of water to Emperor Qi Wen and said, "Father, let's drink saliva first, isn't this matter already decided, and the sons have no opinions." ”
Emperor Qi Wen took the teacup and said with a smile: "You kid, being a father is a fool, but if there is something that is not in line with your mind, you will not say it clearly, but you have been silent, and it is clear that you are dissatisfied, anyway, there are no outsiders here." ”
Qi You smiled: "Erchen is really not dissatisfied, but he is just a little worried. ”
"I'm worried that in the future, Nava will become the new king of Siam, and King Heng will not be able to control it?" Emperor Qi Wen asked.
"This is also a side of worry, the son is even more worried that the king of Siam has been seriously ill once, once he dies, the current situation in Siam will be in chaos, when the time comes, we will not help, who should we help, this is all a problem, the father also knows that the old king of Siam has more than a dozen adult sons, not to mention those who are not yet minors." Qi You worried.
"This I have also taken into account, since the Siam prince Nava personally begged, then I can't refute the face, as for what King Heng must have promised, so that Nava can be so firm, but fortunately, she is just a princess, if the two countries are harmonious, it doesn't hurt to treat her well, if there is chaos, she is just an outcast, from these days of contact, it can be seen that Siam's civil strife is a sure thing, and Nava is also the most favorable contender for the throne, as long as you can grasp this degree, Our southwestern frontier can continue to be peaceful. Emperor Qi Wen analyzed.
Qi You hesitated a little and said, "This marriage to the eldest brother is really Prince Nava's personal request?" ”
Emperor Qi Wen smiled: "That's still false, I originally intended to give a marriage to a certain county king, but Nava pleaded sincerely, I weighed it again and again, and I was relieved to put her under my nose, besides, Princess Heng is also a calm and capable woman." This also saves you the trouble of sending someone to monitor it. ”
Qi You nodded and said: "Princess Tully temporarily stayed in the Erchen Mansion a few days ago, and the Erchen did meet once, and there were some conversations, and she was also an extremely intelligent woman. With such grace from her father, presumably Princess Tully will live in peace. ”
Emperor Qi Wen smiled: "I hope yes, I have fulfilled the wishes of Nava and King Heng, and I hope they will not disappoint me??" Ahem????"
Qi You saw that Emperor Qi Wen was coughing constantly, so he said worriedly: "Father." You have a frequent cough these days, but can you ask a doctor for treatment? ”
Emperor Qi Wen took a few sips of water and said: "It's okay, I have always been a little uncomfortable at this time, the imperial doctor is just prescribing a few sticks of decoction to calm the nerves, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and it will be fine in a few days?" Ahem??"
"Father, there is a doctor in the son's house, and the medical skills are still good, no, the son-in-law will take him into the palace to show you another day." This drag is not a long-term solution. Qi You said.
Emperor Qi Wen rubbed his brows and muttered: "I just have a little cough, I can make such a fuss, it's okay, okay, this is decided in advance, in a few days it will be the big day for the boss to marry Princess Tully, I also have to prepare, after all, this is a marriage between the two countries, to be honest, I want to stay in Nava and their party until the wedding is over." But there is an urgent matter in Siam, so I have to support the scene for this matter. ”
Qi You sighed and said helplessly: "What my father said is that this Siamese envoy is indeed interesting, and they are the ones who are in a hurry to marry." But this engagement, before the big ceremony, they are in a hurry to go back, I don't know, I think this is a special gift, since the father said so, then the son will not bother. The father paid more attention to rest, and the son retired. ”
Emperor Qi Wen smiled: "It's done, will you go down??"
Qi You walked out of the palace with a smile, and when he saw Gonggong Xue at the door, he asked, "Gonggong Xue, has the emperor been uncomfortable recently?" ”
Father-in-law Xue wrinkled his old face and thought for a while: "Except for the frequent coughing, there is nothing uncomfortable, the old slave also invited the imperial doctor, but after drinking a few medicines, it didn't work, and the emperor didn't want to let the imperial doctor take care of it anymore." ”
Qi You was a little surprised and said: "In previous years, the emperor's health was good, what happened this year?" ”
Gonggong Xue was a little embarrassed: "Hey, Master Yongwang, I won't tell you, this is also the root of the emperor's illness when he was young, that will be turbulent in the court, there are many things in the court, the emperor has been dealing with government affairs almost all night for many years, this court is a lot more stable, but the emperor's body has fallen into trouble, in recent years, the emperor is old, this is becoming more and more obvious, the old slave is also anxious in his eyes, but you are also assisting the country, and the emperor can also be a lot easier, This person has been tired for a long time, and he needs to rest well. ”
Qi You said with some emotion: "Hey, my father is really hard, but this king can't always take care of him, thanks to your father-in-law Xue has always been by his side, never abandoned, this king owes you a thank you." ”
Saying that, Qi You saluted Father-in-law Xue, which frightened Father-in-law Xue, who was moved, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Oh, master Wang, don't, don't torture the old slave so much." ”
Qi You smiled and helped Xue Gong Gong up and said: "Xue Gonggong, how can you be tormented, you take care of the emperor for this king, this king should thank you, what are you doing, hurry up." ”
Only then did Gonggong Xue get up boldly and said: "Master Wang, it is the blessing of the old slave to be able to wait by the emperor's side all the time, how can there be no thanks, you and the emperor are all in a hurry, you can share the worries of the emperor and the prince, even if it is a little bit, the old slave is also happy, as long as you and the emperor are well, I will be satisfied as a slave." ”
Qi You patted Father-in-law Xue's hand and said: "Thank you so much, please pay more attention to Father-in-law Xue these days, if the emperor has any discomfort in his body, and trouble Father-in-law to send someone to the house to sue me, this king is a doctor, and his medical skills are good, so he will bring him into the palace when the time comes." ”
Xue Gonggong saluted and said, "Yes, the old slave will definitely do it." ”
Qi You said politely: "Then please ask Father-in-law Xue, this king will leave." ”
Xue Gonggong said respectfully: "The old slave respectfully sends Lord Yong. ??????" (To be continued.) )
