Chapter Forty-Seven: Rushed

After finalizing Mo Qin and Bi Qiao, Zhao Shu felt much better, and called all the people in the house in, but anyone who wanted to marry agreed to it, and gave a dowry, and released the slave status. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, the Yongwang Mansion is well treated, and most of them are reluctant to leave.

Everyone else is gone, Zhang Liuyu hesitated and didn't know whether to leave with everyone, or stay and talk to Zhao Shu, after all, he had already said that he would marry Fan, but he hadn't married yet, he was waiting to be anxious, and he was always suffering from gains and losses.

Zhao Shu saw his hesitation, shook her head and smiled, and took the initiative to recruit him to him, "Don't worry, Lord Wang will return to Beijing, I will go to propose marriage to you, and promise to help you marry someone back. ”

Zhang Liuda was over, the war in the Northeast had already ended, and there was no credit for going, if he could go to Chu through the back door and beat King Jing down, it would be a great credit, and he would immediately give Zhao Shu a salute and thank him.

Zhao Shu waved his hand and let him go down.

After arranging the family affairs of everyone in the house, she thought about it, and after finding that there was nothing to arrange, she was a little confused, and went to see Huo Baichuan, but he still didn't wake up.

But the next day, there was a major event in the imperial court that she needed to attend, the new emperor ascended the throne and the foreign countries came to congratulate, and now he wants to return to China, Dayong set up a wedding banquet to thank the guests, she must attend, and she gave gifts when she was in time.

Before entering the palace, Wei Tingji took him to meet Augustus and his cousins.

Augustus is a pure Westerner, with a high nose and blue eyes, yellow hair, tall and big, and when he saw Zhao Shu speaking pure Arabic, it seemed that it was still a dialect, and Zhao Shu couldn't understand a word.

I don't know what kind of country Augustus is, the language seems to be a little strange, if the geographical location is converted, the country of Augustus should be ancient Egypt, and some information shows that the ancient Egyptian race is not a pure-blooded Westerner......

This description seems a bit inaccurate, but Augustus speaks Arabic, and Zhao Shu finds it a little strange.

However, Augustus's cousin spoke English, but because of the times, there was still a difference from what he learned in modern times, and Zhao Shu could understand a few words.

Although he understood, he didn't dare to act like he really understood.

It is worth mentioning that it was Lin Dongxue who acted as the translator this time, Zhao Shu saw that he was fluent in foreign languages, her eyes widened, but she didn't expect this kid to know foreign languages, which made her a little surprised.

Lin Dongxue was surprised when he saw Zhao Shu, he scratched his head embarrassedly, but he was not as shy as before, and carefully introduced Zhao Shu to the foreign prince who had come thousands of miles away.

People also saw it, Zhao Shu entered the palace first, first went to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and then went to see Qiu Tong, now Qiu Tong is very busy, constantly dealing with things, everything in the palace has to be decided by her, and the new concubine wants to replace her.

She is so busy that she is dizzy, the most important thing is that the new emperor ascends the throne, and the first wave of the draft is about to start, although she is in charge of the harem, and Zhao Yi also respects her very much, but Zhao Shu still sees the depression between her eyebrows.

"I won't be able to entertain you when you come." She pulled out a smile and didn't treat Zhao Shu as an outsider, she followed Zhao Yi at this point, she knew that Zhao Shu had a different meaning to Zhao Yi.

In addition, I used to think that Zhao Shu was good and was willing to have a deep friendship with her.

Zhao Shu naturally didn't plan to get too close to any concubine, she didn't want to get involved in the struggle of the harem, it was better to be with the queen, and no one could say wrong.

Zhao Shu smiled slightly and shook her head, "It's okay, I'll wait for you to finish your work, go to the imperial grandmother together, and then go to the Ganlu Palace." ”

The palace maid in the imperial dining room sent medicinal food, "Niangniang, your medicinal diet is here, you can eat it first." The palace maid said.

Qiu Tong said apologetically to Zhao Shu: "I didn't prepare it for you, but you can't eat it." She said with a smile, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was much more loving.

Zhao Shu's eyes lit up, and she asked in disbelief: "Isn't it?" ”

She nodded, lowering her head a little shyly, "The Imperial Doctor said that it has been more than two months. ”

"Congratulations, now I'm going to be an aunt." Zhao Shu was happy from the bottom of her heart, in this life, Zhao Yi not only ascended the throne, but also had her own descendants, there was nothing more worthy of her happiness than this.

Qiu Tong was moved, in addition to her parents, Zhao Shu was the first to be sincerely happy, as a mother, she also became sensitive, who really loves her children, she knows.

"I don't know if it's a man or a woman." She was a little apprehensive.

Zhao Shu shook her head and comforted her, "Whether it is male or female, the emperor's brother must like it, the female is the eldest princess, and the male is the eldest son, how can those concubines cross over?" You forget, the emperor's brother is from a descendant. ”

With such relief, Qiu Tong felt much better, although the current concubines in the palace were not as many as the three thousand beauties and seventy-two concubines, but there would only be more and more people, if she couldn't get a man in one fell swoop, she was a little worried about her status.

"A-kun, thank you." She held Zhao Shu's hand and said sincerely.

"Do the emperor's brother and grandmother know?" Zhao Shu asked.

Qiu Tong shook his head, caressed his stomach lovingly, and said shyly: "Not yet, wait for three months to tell the Empress Dowager and the emperor, it's you, others are coming, I won't reveal it." ”

Her sentence 'Empress Dowager' made Zhao Shu suddenly, it turned out that the imperial grandmother was already the Empress Dowager, but because Emperor Mingde had not yet died, many people were still as accustomed to calling the Empress Dowager as Zhao Shu, not the Empress Dowager.

After talking for a while, she also used medicinal food, and then went back to Cining Palace with Zhao Shu, and when she arrived at Cining Palace, Empress Taishang was also there, and when she saw Zhao Shu, she said happily: "I heard that you have seen Prince Augustus?" He sent a woman to the emperor, and I returned it. ”

Although this was said to Zhao Shu, it was said to Qiu Tong, but Qiu Tong was not good at thanking, otherwise he would not be virtuous and virtuous.

"A foreign woman is good at witchcraft, it's better not to want it, the imperial aunt did the right thing, I believe the emperor's brother also thinks that he should return it." Zhao Shu said the words for Qiu Tong, thought about it and said: "There are too many people in the palace, Ah Junri didn't dare to come later, and there are many people who want to give a lot of gifts, and I can't afford to give it." ”

"Bengong will see who dares to ask you for a greeting gift, if you dare to make her look good!" Empress Taishang immediately answered, avoiding the meaning of Zhao Shu's words.

Sure enough, being a mother-in-law is different, and I can't wait for my son to be good every day.

"The hour is almost up, let's go." The Queen Mother looked a little embarrassed, and after Huo Baichuan fell unconscious, she and Zhao Yi were extremely busy, often discussing court politics until late at night.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Yi came, his face was full of spring breeze, "Say hello to the imperial grandmother, please say hello to the queen mother." He immediately looked at Zhao Shu after saluting, "Ah Jun has seen Augustus?" ”

How to ask this when you meet, Zhao Shu nodded, "I've seen it, what's wrong?" Any questions? ”

Zhao Yi smiled helplessly, "You don't know? Nowadays, many foreign princes want to marry the noble daughters of this dynasty, you are a popular candidate, how many people want to marry you. He teased.

The Queen Mother glanced at him and answered coldly, "Everyone marries your sister, why are you so big?" The mourning family sees that these princes are not as good as the heroes of this dynasty, which means that you still take it to heart. ”

Zhao Yi immediately said yes, very obedient, and no longer spoke, but she still looked at Zhao Shu and said with her mouth: "You can choose a husband." ’

His original intention was to let Zhao Shu have a good time, not to let Zhao Shu really choose, in his heart, Zhao Shu really can't marry a foreign country, not to mention political factors, just personal feelings, he doesn't want Zhao Shu to marry far away.

Zhao Shu understood what he meant, and remembered that there was a princess of Shanyin who was dozens of male favorites, and she said to the emperor at that time, "You are the emperor's three thousand beauties and seventy-two concubines, and you are also members of the imperial family, why can I only have one concubine?" ’

So the emperor at that time gave her a dozen male pets......

Thinking of this, Zhao Shu was stunned.

Wei Tingsi took her to see Augustus, not on a blind date, he wouldn't be so unprincipled.

"Let's go, don't keep people waiting." The Queen Mother said, with the support of Cumulus and others, she walked ahead and walked out of Cining Palace.

Along the way, concubines came one after another, followed behind them after saluting, and went to the Manna Hall together.

Coming to the Ganlu Palace, the courtiers and their families have arrived, Xiao Fuzi shouted: "The emperor has arrived, the empress dowager has arrived in ......" After shouting all the people, Zhao Shu and others sat down in a sound of worship.

This time she sat next to the Queen Mother, no one competed with her for a position, and there was no need to raise the identity of a certain noble girl and deliberately arranged her beside the Queen Mother.

After everyone sat down, the officials of the Ministry of Rites led the foreign guests in, and this time they were basically princes or princes.

No one wanted to kill one of their princes in the capital in order to fight Dayong, because they knew very well that even if they were fighting, their spears would not be the match for muskets.

Therefore, it seems to be relatively peaceful, and the princes who come are all powerful, because they are all here for the musket, and the marriage is only a secondary incident.

Their costumes are different from those of Dayong, and there is a sharp contrast as soon as they come in, and after paying homage to Zhao Yi and the Queen Mother, Dayong's courtiers greet each other with them...... The cumbersome etiquette is also due to their patience, and Zhao Shu feels a little annoyed.

However, this is also a symbol of a strong country, if it is weak, how can the prince of another country follow the customs?

Two quarters of an hour later, the etiquette was all done, then the guests and hosts were seated, the palace maids came with delicious food, and after three rounds of wine, some princes held back, stood up and learned to do the etiquette of Dayong, and said: "Emperor Dayong, Empress Dowager Dayong, I want to marry a princess of your country as a queen, and I also ask Emperor Dayong and the Queen Mother to agree." ”

After that, his eyes were aimed at Zhao Shu.

Others were afraid that Zhao Shu would be snatched away and hurriedly stood up, "Emperor Dayong, Empress Dowager Dayong, the country also wants to marry the daughter of your country's clan as the queen, and the country is willing to reconcile with your country forever and never declare war." ”

The words are very straightforward, they are all directly called the daughter of the clan, and the meaning is obvious.

Some said obviously, and some said more obviously, and when the words fell, someone stood up and arched his hand: "Emperor Dayong, I heard that the lord of your country is an adult and has not yet married, and the country wants to marry the lord of the county as the queen of the country, and the country is willing to take the most precious national treasure as a dowry." ”

"Contemptible people are also ......" I just learned Chinese, but I speak it in a woody way, and I am afraid that I have practiced it many times if I ask for marriage.

Zhao Shu was a little embarrassed, because there were too many people who wanted to marry him, and they all wanted to marry her to be the mother of the country, she really didn't expect that she would be so sought-after one day...... Although it may be that marrying her is only a means rather than an end, as a woman, her vanity is greatly satisfied.

There are also more open princes who openly expressed their love for her at first sight, and if they can't marry, they won't be able to eat or sleep.

There were many people who requested, and Zhao Yi didn't reply immediately as if she did it on purpose, but looked at Zhao Shu, "Ah Jun, look at the princes, do you have any favorites?" ”

Oops, I'm going to ...... Zhao Shu couldn't help but laugh, Zhao Yi was really naughty.

But she still didn't laugh, but behaved shyly, glanced at the princes quickly, and then shook her head to show that she didn't like it.

Zhao Yi was happy in his heart, what he hated the most was to be close, Jiangshan Sheji was originally a man's business, what was going on with the daughter of the sect to make peace and push people into the fire pit, during his reign as the emperor, there was absolutely no room for harmony!

Where can the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty not see Zhao Yi's flowery intestines, and there are radical ministers who sigh in their hearts, I am afraid that it is inappropriate for the emperor to humiliate foreign princes like this.

However, Xie Yun and the others thought the same as Zhao Yi, and being close is a manifestation of a weak dynasty, although most of them are sent to the clan women, not the emperor's own daughter, but they are also the princesses of Feng!

Zhao Yi endured the joy in his heart, and pretended to be very embarrassed and said: "Princes, I tell you the truth, even if I am the emperor, it is not appropriate to be the master of other people's lifelong affairs, and I respect the choice of anyone in the country." ”

Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile and endured hard.

The princes do not give up, although they don't know much, but Zhao Shu is the most favored granddaughter of the queen mother, and the relationship between the emperor and Zhao Shu is also very good.

It's equivalent to a life amulet, and there is also trade between the two countries, and maybe you can get a musket.

"Emperor Dayong, I have heard that the women of your country are reserved and shy, and the contemptible person met the county lord for the first time, I think she doesn't know much about the county, and I also ask the emperor Dayong to have more contact with the county lord under the emperor, and the contemptible people believe that the county lord will be able to see the good of the despicable people."

Zhao Shu was speechless when she heard this.

"The prince Hugh wants to talk nonsense, men and women in this dynasty are not at the same table at the age of seven, and it is impossible to have too much contact with you." Zhao Yi couldn't help but smile and refused, he accepted it when he saw it, and didn't say anything more.

However, most of the foreign princes felt that marrying Zhao Shu could not be more cost-effective, and they were unwilling to give up easily, so the prince answered immediately, "Emperor Dayong, I don't know what the county lord likes, I am good at music and rhythm below, why don't you play a song for the county lord below?" ”

In Dayong, the concubines are not happy to sing and dance for outsiders, and the state banquet is still singing and dancing, and at this time, the prince actually wants to play a song, and everyone is immediately interested.

"This ...... Will it embarrass the prince? "Zhao Yi didn't really want him to play, because if Zhao Shu didn't like it after playing, wouldn't it be unpleasant?

Of course, if this prince can't afford to lose. (To be continued.) )
