Chapter 292: Arrival in Beijing
The emperor was even more annoyed when he saw Su Nian's unmoved appearance, and wanted to speak but was held by Qiao'er's cuffs, he turned around to look, only to see Qiao'er's watery eyes and wet cheeks, and suddenly felt even more distressed, "You are a mother now, she is just a general's wife, what are you afraid of her?!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Qiao'er's tone was a little complaining, "Miss didn't bully the concubine!" Miss said ......, Miss said ......, the concubine is pregnant! Woooooooooooo ”
Qiao'er finally finished speaking, and began to cry again, but it was the emperor's turn to freeze, just now, what did Qiao'er say? The crying was so loud that he didn't hear it clearly......
"Don't cry, it's not good for children to be too emotional." Su Qing said something flutteringly, Qiao'er immediately wiped her tears very obediently, and stopped crying with a sob.
"Yes...... Pregnant? "The emperor's eyes fell on Qiao'er's abdomen, where there were already their children?
What a nerd, Su Nian spit in his heart, this reaction is not much better than when Xiao Ge heard that he was pregnant, Su Nian is not good at being open-minded and despised, so he can only secretly roll his eyes with his eyes, "Your Majesty, you just said, 'I didn't expect the concubine to be such a woman', the concubine wants to know, what kind of woman is the emperor talking about?" ”
Well? The emperor looked up in a daze, and saw Su Nian smiling, but the smile only reached the corner of his mouth, and he immediately regretted it, Shen Su Nian has never been easy to mess with, although he is the emperor, he doesn't have to be afraid of her, but Qiao'er is obedient to her, she wants to say something in front of Qiao'er, and she may not realize that she is at a loss.
"Ahem, did I just say that? Oh, I said. Mrs. Xiao declared her righteousness, and she would definitely not embarrass Concubine Hui. I've got some more to attend to, cough. Come on, whatever you need in Yanhui Palace, you don't have to go through the Middle Palace, you hurry down and do it. The little eunuch chirped and quickly disappeared into the hall.
The emperor said that he had something to deal with, but his eyes were staring at Qiao'er and he didn't leave, his child, and he didn't know if God was punishing him, since Qiao'er had a miscarriage. Although there are also concubines in the harem who are pregnant, they have not been able to keep it, even if they dispose of Concubine Lan, they will still have an inexplicable abortion.
And now that Qiao'er is pregnant again, is God ending her punishment for herself? He wants to be a good father, to be a good father on the basis of a good emperor, and he doesn't want to feel the same regret when the emperor was dying.
********************************
Su Nian lived in the palace, and every day the emperor would take time to see Qiao'er. Su Nian took the opportunity to knock on the side to rescue Xiao Ge's progress, with Qiao'er by his side, Su Nian asked no taboos.
The envoys sent out said that they had invited the princess of the Xia tribe to the Li Dynasty. This princess's child has been designated by the leader of the Xia clan as the next leader and heir of the Xia clan, if she can move the princess, then it is very likely to get the Xia clan's alliance.
"How can a woman have so much influence?" Su Nian was a little unconvinced.
The emperor snorted coldly. "When Xiao Ge had an awkward relationship with me for a woman, I didn't believe it!"
"......" black line. Why is Xiao Ge not ruthless at all in the emperor's mouth?
"This princess must have her means to sit in a stable position, and she is not the only princess of the Xia clan leader. The prince of the Xia clan is also much older than her children, but the leader only appointed her children as heirs, which is enough to show the influence of this princess in the heart of the leader. ”
Su Nian will be skeptical, but no matter what, when she sees the princess, she will definitely ask her sincerely, hoping that she is not a cold-hearted woman.
The emperor sighed, to be able to have such a high prestige in the Xia clan, this princess must be a ruthless character, when the Aqiang clan designed to attack the rest of the foreign clans, they did not provoke the Xia clan, but instead set aside a large area for them, which was obviously flattering.
Joining forces with the Li Dynasty to sanction the Aqiang tribe, to be honest, there is not much temptation for the Xia tribe, and this princess will not agree so easily if she is a shrewd woman......
The emperor didn't dare to tell Su Nian, her belly was now very big, and the imperial doctor said that the birth was just this month, if she knew and became excited, how would he explain to Xiao Ge?
Su Nian had nothing to do, so she discussed with Qiao'er some matters that need to be paid attention to when pregnant, she urgently needed something else to divert her attention at this time, she had been too anxious in the palace because of fetal gas, Su Nian knew that it was very dangerous, so she couldn't think about it, as long as she imagined the situation that Xiao Ge might have now, her stomach would cramp for a while.
But Su Nian still asks the princess of the Xia clan every day if she has arrived in the capital, listen to the emperor's meaning, if the Xia clan really agrees to join forces with the Li Dynasty, some small foreign clans will definitely not refuse, Xiao Ge's life and death are actually maintained on a woman's opinion, Su Nian is very uneasy.
The princess is less than a day, and Su Nian's anxiety can't be dissipated for a day, Qiao'er can see Su Nian's strong face and smile, so she is very hard to help find out the news.
One day, Qiao'er's palace maid hurriedly ran back to Yanhui Palace and whispered something in Qiao'er's ear, Su Nian only saw Qiao'er's face change slightly, and then came to him: "Miss, the princess of the Xia clan has entered the palace." ”
"What?" Su Nian frowned, didn't the emperor say yesterday that it would take a few days for the princess to come to the capital? Why are you already in the palace at this time?
Su Nian was in a hurry, no, she also wanted to meet, she had to go to this princess Xia in person, hoping that she could come to the rescue.
Qiao'er hurriedly stopped Su Nian: "Miss, the emperor is now receiving the princess......"
"So what?" Su Nian turned her head, there was no hidden anxiety on her face, Qiao'er could see that she understood Su Nian, Miss really wanted to do something, even if she was broken, she would not give up.
"So, I know how to get close to the main hall." Qiao'er flashed her eyes and looked at Su Nian without blinking.
"Well, I'm sorry for you."
*********************************
"Princess, the current situation is like this, the leader of the Xia clan heard that he was unwell and did not receive the envoy of our court, I hope that the princess can relay the wishes of my dynasty to the chief, and help our army defeat the villains of the Aqiang tribe."
The emperor looked at the princess of the Xia clan sitting in the guest seat, she was not like the Xia people he knew, but like the women in the Jiangnan region of the Li Dynasty, full of elegant and gentle temperament.
The princess of the Xia clan was holding a cup of tea, brushing aside the tea leaves in the tea bowl with the lid one by one, bowing her head gently and taking a sip gently, and even a satisfied look appeared on her face.
Putting down the teacup, the princess of the Xia clan looked at the emperor head-on, with a decent and gentle smile on her face, "Your Majesty, the leader of my clan is unwell, and I don't want to have a conflict with the Aqiang tribe at this moment, although the Aqiang tribe is very fierce now, our Xia clan is not afraid." ”
"The princess's words are wrong, the Qiang clan is ambitious, and they will definitely not be satisfied with the status quo, if they let a clan like them grow, princess, I don't think the Xia clan can be spared."
"This doesn't bother the emperor to worry about our clan, speaking of which, the Xia clan seems to be closer to the Aqiang clan, if the Aqiang clan can really invade the Li Dynasty, it may not be a good thing for our clan."
The princess of the Xia clan was still smiling, and everyone's hearts in the main hall were in a daze, how dare she say such a thing?
The emperor was silent, "It's a pity that the Aqiang clan just got a surprise, how can the foundation of the Li Dynasty be shaken by such an ethnic group, the princess might as well try to change her mind?" ”
Princess Xia smiled silently, but there was no trace of approval in her eyes.
Although the emperor's face still did not change, he knew in his heart that the possibility of asking the Xia clan to make a move was too small.
I didn't expect this Xia princess to have such a big right, in fact, the spies of the Li Dynasty have already found out that the leader of the Xia clan is not just unwell, but what is the matter, only this princess knows, judging from the princess's attitude just now, it seems that she can make a decision.
This woman is not so easy to talk to, the emperor sighed in his heart, of course he is not ready to give up, but if he can impress this princess, he has to think carefully about the chips that can be used.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Xiao is asking to see you outside the palace." The little eunuch leaned over to the emperor's side and whispered.
The emperor's brows furrowed even tighter, how could Shen Sunian know? He had already ordered not to send news to Yanhui Palace, could it be a coincidence?
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Xiao said that if she was not allowed to come in, she would have been waiting outside, saying that it was ......, and the princess of the Xia clan couldn't live here......"
The little eunuch added with a sad face, he had known that he would avoid him, but he didn't expect it to be too late.
"......, pass it on." The emperor took a deep breath, this kind of court event didn't want Shen Sunian to participate, but after all, it was related to her husband, it was okay to let her in, didn't this woman always be weird, maybe she really matched with this yin and yang weird princess of the Xia Dynasty.
When the little eunuch informed Su Nian to go in, Su Nian was still flustered, it seemed that she didn't expect it to be so smooth, she had planned it before she came, if the emperor didn't agree, she would really stay here, no one would pull her away, she had just looked for a temple pillar, and planned to hold on to it.
"Mrs. Xiao, please come with us." The little eunuch smiled stiffly and took Su Nian into the main hall.
"Mrs. Xiao, this princess of the Xia clan is a little difficult to get along with, please be careful and cautious."
Su Nian nodded vigorously, she would, she knew how important this princess was, she was not stupid, such a key person would not be provoked by herself, Su Nian decided that she would impress people with unprecedented sincerity, hoping to make the princess, who was also a woman, feel compassion.
Su Nian planned to do so, but when he saw Mrs. Xia sitting on the guest seat, he was stunned, so much so that he forgot to ask the emperor for peace...... (To be continued......)
