Chapter Seventy-Seven: Marriage
As he was talking, Xiang Xiang walked in and said, "Princess, the emperor invites you to come over." β
"Didn't you say what it was?" Shangguan Mu asked.
"The slave didn't know either, and Gonggong Li, who came to pass the word, didn't say much." Raid Xiang replied.
"Okay, I'll go now, Caiyi, you have a good rest, don't get angry, the Queen Mother will send an experienced grandmother to take care of you later." Shangguan Mu said to Xue Caiyi, who was half-lying on the bed.
"You can go without worry, don't worry about me, there are Su Luo and them here, this is his only bloodline, I will keep it no matter what." Xue Caiyi said to Shangguan Mu.
Shangguan Mu explained a few more words to Danxiang and Tingyu before going out with Xianxiang and walking in the direction of the main hall. In fact, she had already roughly guessed the reason why the emperor was looking for her. Xiqi is now losing and retreating, it is impossible to continue like this, in order to change this situation, there is only one way, and that is to ask Dongyan for help. And Dongyan can't send troops to aid Xiqi in vain, only if Shangguan Mu marries Dongyan according to the agreement, it is possible to get their help. In the original novel, Su Li took a fancy to Shangguan Tai, and Dongyan also intended to marry Xiqi, but because of Shangguan Tai's strong opposition, he died without a problem. And now, when Su Fence arrived in Xiqi, he almost never mentioned Shangguan Tai, and it seemed that he didn't have any interest in Shangguan Tai, but Su Nuo took a fancy to himself inexplicably. In the original novel, Xiqi had a discord with Dongyan because of the marriage, and accumulated several generations of hatred with the southern wing, and when Tuoba Lin attacked Xiqi, the other two big countries turned a blind eye, until Shangguan Mu went to the north to cross and kiss, Xiqi avoided the fate of the country, and now, it seems that the fate of the whole country is still in her hands, I believe that the emperor must have called her for this matter, otherwise the palace is a place where the monarch and the minister deliberate, what does it matter to her as a court woman? It is estimated that the ministers urged Shangguan Mu to marry, after all, sacrificing a little princess in exchange for the peace of a country is a very worthwhile deal, but the emperor is still worried about the one-year appointment with Shangguan Mu, so he sent someone to invite Shangguan Mu over.
Originally, Shangguan Mu wanted to wait for Tuoba Lin to make a request for peace from the perspective of a year, Xiqi had to agree, and then the whole plot would be back on track, but he ignored that Xiqi didn't only have to bow to the north, and now, he still put himself in a helpless situation, fortunately, he has come out of the shackles of the original plot, otherwise he doesn't know how long he will have to struggle!
"Father, marrying Dongyan is not a place of dire trouble, the ninth sister goes to Dongyan is the mother of a country, not to mention that there is the whole Xiqi as her backing, how can she be a little wronged, although the father and the ninth sister have an appointment in advance, but now the situation is urgent, and it is not something that the father can predict, so the previous agreement cannot be counted." Shangguan Mu heard the voice of the fourth prince Shangguan Rui from a distance, but he didn't expect this person's grudge to fight with Tuoba Lin, didn't he offend him once, as for holding a grudge for so long, Shangguan Mu hadn't provoked him for a long time, besides, the two of them had the same smell before, and they were powerful in the palace together.
"Weichen thinks that what His Royal Highness said is very right, and now the situation is special, there is no need to pay attention to any gentleman's covenant." As soon as Shangguan Mu stepped into the main hall, he saw a courtier kneeling down and echoing Shangguan Rui.
Wechen agreed. Others came out and chimed in.
Shangguan Mu despises these people very much in his heart, usually through the heavens and the earth, talking endlessly, when it comes to the critical moment, he knows that he is sacrificing others, and he also shows that he is actually standing and talking without backache. It was like this to let the newlywed Shangguan Tai go on the expedition before, and now it is the same with her to go to Dongyan and his relatives, and he casually decides the fate of others.
When everyone saw Shangguan Mu walk in, they all held their breath and didn't dare to say a word, for fear that they would accidentally be taken as the object of venting by this pampered and arrogant princess, Shangguan Mu's name, they had all heard of it, and no one dared to provoke her at this time.
"Mu'er sees her father."
"Hurry up, I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you." The emperor made a very embarrassed expression.
"Father, if you have anything, just say it," Shangguan Mu didn't want to go around and around, just go straight to the topic.
"It's about, it's about γγγγγγγ"
"Regarding the matter of requesting Dongyan to send troops to support Xiqi, right, Father?" was asked by Shangguan Mu like this, the emperor was a little embarrassed, after all, it was his favorite daughter, and he didn't know how to speak, but in the face of the country's righteousness, he had no choice, if he could, he didn't want to exchange his daughter for reinforcements.
"It's a big happy event, sister, my father decided to let you marry the prince of Dongyan in advance, the king of Dongyan has been in poor health, I believe that you will be able to become the queen of Dongyan soon after you marry, isn't this a big joy?" No matter what the words are, as long as they come out of Shangguan Rui's mouth, they immediately make people feel very unhappy, even at this time, Shangguan Mu can still hear a few hints of sarcasm from it.
"Only by marrying Dongyan can they send troops to support Xiqi, so γγγ" The emperor immediately followed the words.
"Mu'er is willing to marry in the past, and the one-year contract with her father should be nullified." Shangguan Mu interrupted the emperor's words, now she has no choice at all, and for Xiqi, she already has feelings, she can't lose everything and escape by herself, of course, after Xiqi is out of danger, it will not be too late to escape at that time, and now that she has Lu Tingyu by her side, it is still easy to escape. It's just that she is a little faintly worried, after the two countries are united, Tuoba Lin's side γγγγ
"What do you say? Are you really willing to marry? Although the emperor very much hoped that Shangguan Mu would marry Dongyan immediately to solve Xiqi's urgent need, he didn't expect Shangguan Mu to agree so readily, because in his heart, Shangguan Mu still remembered Lin Yifeng, otherwise how could she drink him before and make a one-year appointment.
"Yes, Mu'er is willing."
"I'll just say that the ninth sister is the most empathetic, how can she make my father worry about the war, look, I'm right," Shangguan Rui instantly took the credit on himself, as if Shangguan Mu was persuaded by him.
"Since there is nothing to do, then Mu'er will retire first." Shangguan Mu didn't bother to look at the faces of these people, anyway, she married Dongyan for Xiqi, which was a matter of course in their eyes, and they only saw Shangguan Mu's endless glory and wealth, but they didn't think about her feelings.
"Lordγγγ do you really want to marry Dongyan?" For Shangguan Mu's decision to be in the main hall just now, Xian Xiang was very surprised, according to the princess's character, she must make a fuss before agreeing, but she didn't expect to agree so easily this time, and she also knew that the princess already belonged in her heart, would such a decision be too hasty?
"Do I have any other choice? Even if you strongly oppose it, you still have to marry in the end, so it's better to agree quickly. Shangguan Mu said with a smile.
"But γγγγ" was about to say something, but was interrupted.
"Why did you want to marry?" Lin Yifeng came out from behind them at some point.
"I don't think I need to tell you this! We don't have any relationship anymore, Lord Lin. Shangguan Mu's eyebrows tightened, revealing a look of reluctance to be seen, since the hunting in the paddock, she felt upset when she saw Lin Yifeng, and she couldn't even pretend to be infatuated with him.
"Are you angry with me, so you want to make me pay attention to you by marrying Dongyan?" Lin Yifeng said with a look of "I see".
Shangguan Mu suspected that this person's IQ was eaten by a dog? With the aura of the protagonist, how can you be so narcissistic, "Lord Lin, are you too self-indulgent?" I just couldn't bear to see the lives in ruin before I agreed, and it had nothing to do with you. β
"Hmph, you've changed a lot, why don't you have the strength to pester me all day long?" Shangguan Mu doesn't know what this person is going to do, please, don't let yourself feel like a failure, okay? After all, it's a character who stayed up late to write in code, do you want to be so low?
