Chapter 342: Marriage
Yongning's expression gradually changed slightly, she carefully observed the smile on the face of the manager, and the other party suddenly raised his head and met her eyes, "I don't know what the princess needs?" What colors and patterns do you like? The slave maid felt that the princess was very suitable for rose. β
"But Princess Ben likes purple." Yongning didn't seem to think about it and blurted it out, only to see that the other party was slightly stunned, Yongning immediately realized that her tone was a little heavy, and she still wanted to put out a little useful information......
"Uh...... Rose red is fine. β
The boss showed a knowing smile, "The slave understands, and will make a few sets of purple clothes for the princess." β
She put away the soft ruler in her hand, and Yongning looked at the other party's face, "I don't know why Queen Shu wants to make clothes for this princess?" β
The person in charge raised his head, with a respectful smile on his face, "The princess's happy event has fallen, so naturally she wants to add some happy things." β
"Happy event? What a happy event! Yongning couldn't help frowning, the people of Yi Kingdom seem to have forgotten that they are princesses of Heqin these days, which makes Yongning feel a little lucky in her heart, maybe she doesn't have to marry into Yi Kingdom? Now, Queen Nashu is so annoying, and she mentioned the things she didn't want to think about.
The person in charge didn't expect Yongning to have such a big reaction, she immediately closed her mouth, just smiled and bowed, "The slave has retired, and in a few days I will order someone to send the finished clothes." β
"Hey, don't go...... Tell me what kind of happy event it is?! β
"Princess!" Yun Shu on the side had already stretched out her hand to pull Yongning, who was going to stop the person in charge from leaving, she knew that the other party would never say anything, and it was in vain to ask if she asked.
"Sister Shu, should you ...... Then Queen Shu really plans to give me cΔo to do a wedding?! "How can there be such a generous wife in this world, Yongning's intuition told her that Empress Shu didn't like herself at all, how could she take the initiative to organize happy events for herself and Emperor Xiao, she must want to come to meet herself!
Yun Shu pondered for a moment, she guessed Yun Mei's intentions. Indeed, Yun Mei is not a broad-minded person, what stimulated her by taking a concubine to her husband?
Yongning saw that Yun Shu didn't speak, her eyes instantly turned red, and she nervously took Yun Shu's hand, "Sister Shu, I don't want to marry, I hate Emperor Xiao so much, how can I marry him?!" And ......"
She began to look for all kinds of reasons, and the comfortable days of this time were suddenly broken by the words of the master, and in an instant she fell into hell again.
Yun Shu frowned slightly, "Princess, don't be impatient, let's inquire clearly before we find a way." β
ββ¦β¦ What if, what kind of conspiracy does Queen Shu use to force me? β
Yun Shu slowly squatted down and comforted the panicked little woman in front of her, "Yongning rest assured, this matter is not something she can say alone." β
β¦β¦
In the Imperial Study.
"Your Majesty, look!" Father-in-law Lu held something in his hand and stood in front of Xiao Yichen.
The plate was covered with a golden silk cloth, and the handsome man just glanced at it lightly, "What is it?" He stretched out his hand and opened it, his eyes changing instantly.
It was a small branch, but there were a few flower bones on the branch, and the pink and white appearance made Xiao Yichen shake for a moment. He could barely remember what it was, and it was as if his soul had been struck hard.
"Your Majesty, this is really strange! I thought that the cherry tree could not be saved, but I didn't expect it to be alive again this year......" Father-in-law Lu's eyes were shining, and there were other deep meanings in his words.
Xiao Yichen's gaze seemed to be unable to take his eyes off the branch, for three years, he had never seen a flower bloom again, and now, he had a feeling like he was in a dream.
"Or is it taken care of by Lao Xu?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Lao Xu will go every day! The slave had already told him that he didn't have to do this, maybe it was Lao Xu who touched the tree. β
Move? Xiao Yichen smiled sarcastically, just a gardener......
"But the emperor, the slave thinks that the good thing of the Yi Kingdom is coming!"
In the eyes of Gonggong Lu, in the years when the cherry tree was in full bloom, during the heyday of the integrity of the Yi Kingdom, as long as the emperor and the queen made a move, no matter what never failed, but three years ago, the queen's temperament suddenly changed greatly, and the cherry tree was abandoned and no longer bloomed, as if it had been stripped of its soul.
There are people in the palace who say that the queen is evil! That tree is the soul of the queen mother, and since then, this palace of the Yi Kingdom has also become very gloomy, and everyone lives very hard, and they don't even dare to laugh out loud.
"A good thing?" Xiao Yichen glanced deeply at Father-in-law Lu.
"Lianchen Kingdom has sent Princess Heqin, slave congratulations to the emperor!" What he meant was that the blossoming of the cherry trees was a blessing brought by the kingdom of Natatsu and the princess.
Xiao Yichen's eyes seemed to flash a little suddenly, holding the branch and dangling it in front of his eyes, because that princess? Not necessarily. At the moment when the flowers and bones containing vitality seemed to be brewing and blooming, Xiao Yichen's mind couldn't help but have that elegant face, and then it overlapped with the strange and familiar charming face.
This tree is indeed spiritual, does it even feel it? The man who bears a striking resemblance to its owner appears.
Want to greet her with the best in this house?
Father-in-law Lu was surprised to find that a smile slowly appeared on the corner of Xiao Yichen's mouth, and he was immediately shocked in his heart, how long had he not seen the emperor with such a smile?! Since Queen Shu's temperament has changed greatly? Is it because the tree is finally blooming? Or is it because of ......
Thinking about it, Gonggong Lu also felt happy, as if this palace of the Yi Kingdom was about to be revitalized again.
"The Queen Mother has arrivedβ"
This shrill voice sounded from outside, making Xiao Yichen in the room immediately frown, and Father-in-law Lu hurriedly took the flower branch in his hand, re-covered it with a brocade cloth and stood aside, as if he was afraid of being seen by Queen Shu.
Seeing the charming woman coming, Ying Ying stepped forward and saluted in front of Xiao Yichen, "The concubine sees the emperor." β
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Yichen's tone was cold again, and it was difficult for Father-in-law Lu to associate him with the man who was in a happy mood.
The smile on Yun Mei's face stiffened slightly, and then quickly faded. "The concubine has come here recently, and she wants to discuss something with the emperor."
"I'll leave the affairs of this harem to you, so you don't need to ask me." He didn't seem to want to talk too much to Yun Mei, this woman has become a lot more annoying in the past few years.
"The concubine understood, so she ordered someone to choose a good day and an auspicious day."
"Wait, what's the good day?" Xiao Yichen called out to Yun Mei, who was about to turn around and leave, with a little surprise on her face, "Didn't the emperor say that it would be handed over to the concubine?" β
Father-in-law Lu only felt that the atmosphere had become a little strange, and he felt that he should not stand here anymore and listen, so he quietly retreated with the branch in his hand.
"Princess Chenguo has been living in the palace for many days, and if her name is not right, I am afraid that it will reach the ears of Emperor Chenguo, and she will say that our Yiguo is not sincere. Therefore, the concubine recently ordered someone to go to the Splendid Palace early in the morning to tailor the clothes for the princess of Chenguo, and also happened to make a set of beautiful wedding clothes. The emperor can rest assured that the concubines will be successful and will not lose the face of our Yi country. β
"Did I say I wanted to marry her?" Xiao Yichen immediately lowered his tone, what he hated most was Yun Mei's self-assertiveness. Although he also planned to do so at first.
Yun Mei smiled, "The concubine sees that the princess of Nachen Kingdom is lively and cute, and I believe that he will definitely be able to win His Majesty's heart one day." Didn't Majesty bring her back because she liked it? If you don't marry her, do you want to marry that lowly imperial doctor? The concubine heard that she was just a concubine of the Hou Mansion, and she was only taken back to the house in the past two years, and she grew up in the mountains and wilderness before. β
She didn't seem to see Xiao Yichen's gradually cold face, and every sentence was sarcastic about Yun Shu's origin.
"You know a lot about Chenguo." There was danger in the tone.
However, Yun Mei straightened her waist, "The concubine knows that the emperor is in the Chen Kingdom, so she naturally has to think about the emperor's safety, and the kind of woman who does not compromise to achieve her goals may bring any disaster to Your Majesty, and after the wedding, send her back." β
"When will it be your turn to teach me how to do things?!"
Xiao Yichen suddenly aggravated her tone, and Yun Mei immediately realized that she seemed to have overspoken, and just now she saw that the other party had an expression of grievance for Yun Shu, so she was so angry that she forgot her senses. She's right, that's obviously a lowly woman, and she may have used some dirty means to get to her current status, doesn't your majesty understand?!
That kind of filthy woman, don't want to enter her palace!
"It's the concubine who lost her words! It's just that since the princess of Chenguo has come with a dowry, the concubine should give her a name to appease the princess's heart. Denying that she lives here without a proper name will also bring some gossip. β
Xiao Yichen took a deep breath, how could he never know that Yun Mei was so empathetic. Which of the concubines she accepted before was handled by her personally? But this time is so positive, could it be that this woman guessed something?
What Xiao Yichen hates the most is that the woman is trying to figure out his thoughts.
"You and your sister are getting more and more alike."
As soon as these words came out, Yun Mei's originally soft face changed instantly. "Your Majesty?"
What does this sentence mean, what does it mean that she and Yun Shu are becoming more and more alike?! Don't...... Does ιxiΓ mean that he is already tired of himself? Just like when he was tired of his sister?
"You know, the one who knows me the most in this world, and the one who doesn't know me the least, is your sister."
"......" Yun Mei only felt that there seemed to be a string in her brain that was awakened by Xiao Yichen, and she suddenly realized that she had made a big mistake!
