Chapter 153: Harmony
When Xiao Yizheng left Fengyang Palace, he saw Xiao Lechang, the princess of Anping.
"Fourth sister, thank you for that letter." He saluted in gratitude.
Xiao Lechang didn't apply powder, dressed plainly, smiled faintly, and said, "I'm about to go to the Imperial Garden, is the sixth brother free?" ”
Xiao Yizheng saw that he seemed to have something to say, so he nodded and said yes.
Xiao Le retreated left and right, walking side by side with Xiao Yizheng.
"After returning to the palace, I thought that I could accompany my father a lot, but it was so short." Although her tone was sad, she also revealed the indifference of experiencing the world.
Xiao Yizheng took a deep breath and did not answer.
"I know the situation in the palace at that time, and I don't know if I should let you come back."
"I'll be back for sure."
Xiao Lechang nodded: "I think, too." ”
"I'm also worried about your safety." Xiao Yizheng said softly.
Xiao Lechang shook his head: "I'm fine." I'll give you the news and I'll consider the third brother," she paused and smiled, "Now you should be called the imperial brother." I thought about the fact that Brother Huang might hold a grudge against me, but I decided to do it anyway. I think my father would want me to do it. ”
"Hmm." Xiao Yizheng nodded slightly.
The peach and willow green in the imperial garden are full of spring.
However, neither of them had the heart to appreciate this boundless spring.
"Is Qingxi okay?" Xiao Le asked.
The corners of Xiao Yizheng's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
"Leave her in Sujiang, are you going to go back?"
Xiao Lechang looked at Xiao Yizheng and nodded, brushed a begonia at hand, and said softly: "It is a blessing and a blessing that someone is waiting." ”
Xiao Yizheng was silent for a moment and asked, "What are the plans of the fourth sister in the future?" ”
Xiao Lechang lowered his hand, his expression gloomy: "Originally, I had an obsession in my heart and wanted to seek complete justice for the horse." Now that Uncle Xiang has been found, he also understands. The father and the emperor also went, and heard that the queen mother was about to leave the palace. In the future, I am afraid that this palace will be much more deserted. ”
Xiao Yizheng looked at the sky and sighed softly.
"I wonder why the Queen Mother insists on leaving Shangdu so much?" Xiao Lechang frowned. "I don't know if it's related to rumors in the palace."
"Rumors in the palace?" Xiao Yizheng asked suspiciously.
"You also know that my father passed out in my mother's harem. You also know that there are many people in the palace, and some people say that the two had conflicts and quarrels that day. In fact, even some disputes are normal, and even Guo Duzhi said that his father's body has long been in deficit. In fact, the queen mother doesn't have to pay attention to these nonsense. ”
Xiao Yizheng frowned and was silent.
After a while, he frowned, looked at Xiao Lechang, and said softly: "Originally, if the situation was different, now, I wanted to take the opportunity to escort the fourth sister out of the palace to the Changfeng Dart Bureau." As long as the fourth sister enters Changfeng, then the affairs of the palace will not be a secret. Now, it hasn't come to this, but I'm glad it didn't happen. Fourth sister, now as long as you want, you can still walk out of the palace. Just like back then, before you surrendered, I said that the fourth sister should go out of the palace to have a look. ”
Xiao Lechang raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yizheng, his eyebrows curled, and he said with a comfortable smile: "I will think about it, maybe one day, I will be like you, walk out of the palace and see the world." ”
Xiao Yizheng's eyes were bright.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Ten days later, the enthronement ceremony went smoothly.
The whole ceremony was solemn and simple.
At the state banquet, Xiao Yizheng met Qiqina.
Kicina came to watch the ceremony with the Danta envoys.
Since the defeat of Dacheng, the Danda Department has been fighting internally, and although the Zhengbai Department where Kikina is located can still control Ulantu, it is obviously under great pressure. This time, the Danda personnel also paid a lot of money and goods to Dacheng when they entered Beijing.
During the previous court meeting, the courtiers believed that in addition to the ceremonial congratulation of the new emperor Dacheng's accession to the throne, another important purpose was to hope to get Dacheng's support and stabilize the rule of the Zhengbai Department over the Danda.
Kikina dressed up to attend the state banquet, dressed in red dazzling, just stepped into the main hall, and attracted everyone's attention.
And after her eyes looked around the hall, they fell on Xiao Yizheng, who was whispering to Xiao Lechang.
And when Xiao Yizheng noticed Qiqina, she was already sitting down, smiling at herself.
I haven't seen her for half a year, and Xiao Yizheng feels that Qiqina seems to be a little less sharp and a little softer.
On the state banquet, the staggered planning, singing and dancing, everyone took turns to toast Xiao Yihe on the high seat.
As the queen, Shen Tong was wearing a heavy ceremonial dress, and the heavy crown made her a little breathless, but the word queen required her to put on a proper smile to accept everyone's admiration.
When everyone was drunk, Qiqina slowly got up, walked to the center of the hall, and first congratulated the new emperor on his accession to the throne with the gift of Danda, and then she looked at Xiao Yizheng, who was drinking on the side, and said loudly: "Your Majesty Emperor Dacheng, my Danda Department is willing to make friends with Dacheng forever, in order to show the sincerity of Danda, I am willing to marry Dacheng." ”
When she said this, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
The rest of the friendly neighboring envoys who had come to congratulate them were a little complained about Kikina's request on such an occasion. Thinking that it was a defeated subordinate of Dacheng not long ago, he can't wait to hold the big tree of Dacheng by means of kindness.
The courtiers of the Dacheng clan were also whispering, and it was a little surprising that the Dan Dabu was so eager to put forward their needs.
When Xiao Yizheng heard this, he put down the wine glass in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Qiqi Na in the center of the hall.
Xiao Yihe, who was on the seat, smiled slightly, and asked unhurriedly: "I am willing to make friends with people from all over the world." What the princess said can be discussed slowly in the future. ”
Kicina stood in the hall with her head up, and continued: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I will make clear the sincerity of Danda today, and your country can discuss it slowly. I am willing to marry into Shangdu. ”
There was a sudden silence in the hall, and immediately there was a noisy chatter all around.
And Kicina still had her head raised, her face was as usual, and her eyes were determined.
Xiao Yizheng's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of strangeness surged in his heart, looking straight at her.
Suddenly, Qiqina's eyes shifted and met Xiao Yizheng's inquiring eyes.
At this moment, a thought flashed through Xiao Yizheng's mind, and before he could think about it, he only heard Qiqina continue to say in a loud voice: "I am willing to marry His Royal Highness the King of your country." ”
Xiao Yizheng held the cup tightly, and Xiao Lechang hurriedly turned his eyes to look at him.
Not only Xiao Lechang, but everyone in the hall focused their eyes on Xiao Yizheng.
Especially Ling Deyan, when he heard this, half of the wine in the cup had already been spilled. He forgot to put down the wine glass, and looked at Xiao Yizheng.
Xiao Yizheng lowered his eyes slightly, silent.
Xiao Yihe said with a timely smile: "Haha, the princess said that she laughed, the sixth emperor brother already has a princess." ”
"I know. I've seen the princess, not a submissive woman, I like it. But this does not affect my marriage to His Royal Highness King Heng. I know that you have a wife, so I don't mind. ”
"What kind of system is this, what kind of system is it!" Liu Zijing, the middle of the Imperial History Tower, poked his wine glass heavily on the desk, shook his head and said angrily.
Yang Zhi also frowned, feeling that Qiqina had done too much.
However, the rest of the envoys present at the Danda Department did not say a word, and looked at their princess with great appreciation.
Shen Tong was very unhappy when he heard her say this. Her unhappiness was all for Qingxi. During the whole banquet, she rarely spoke, but at this moment, she had a solemn face and said in a deep voice: "The princess's words are inevitably difficult for strong people." I have become a royal family, and I have never had an equal wife. You don't mind, someone does. ”
Qiqina furrowed her eyebrows, looked at Xiao Yizheng, and asked, "Your Royal Highness King Heng, do you mind?" ”
Xiao Yizheng raised his head, picked up his robe, and said with a smile: "If the princess wants to marry the two countries, there is not only one way to go. If the princess really wants to marry, I have a lot of good men. The king also thanked the princess for her love. The princess just mentioned that she had a relationship with the princess of this king, so the princess should know that the princess is beautiful and elegant, and her talent is extraordinary, and she is the only one in the king's heart. Our marriage can't accommodate a third person, and we invite Princess Haihan. ”
As he spoke, he filled himself with another glass of wine, and drank it all, as if to make amends to him in this way. Then, he sat down on his own, as if he didn't care too much about Kikina's reaction.
His words were clear and clear, and everyone sweated for Kikina, and being rejected in public was really a shame for a girl's family.
Xiao Yi and Xu Yes on the throne thought the same, followed Xiao Yizheng's words, and said gently: "I think the princess and the sixth brother had a lot of friends before, and they didn't have the opportunity to meet other young talents in my Dacheng." The princess can stay in Shandu for a little longer. The princess has such a bold personality and is so cute that she will definitely be the favorite object of many men. This matter can be discussed later, and there is no hurry. Take a seat, princess. ”
This is the emperor who took the initiative to give Kikina a step down.
However, Kikina did not have a half-thoughtless look of shame.
She stood there calmly, as if she was not surprised by Xiao Yizheng's refusal.
She thanked Xiao Yihe for the arrangement and continued: "I am impressed by His Royal Highness King Heng's loyalty to the princess, and I admire it even more in my heart. Kicina thanked His Majesty for his kindness, but one of my Danda girls is a lifetime. As Your Majesty said, I am not in a hurry. My Dan answer department and the big deal have the same meaning as my heart, which can be seen from the sun and the moon. ”
With that, she bowed and withdrew.
Xiao Lechang looked at Xiao Yizheng and whispered, "What did you do to make people so desperate?" ”
Xiao Yizheng shrugged, looking helpless.
This episode set off a small climax for the end of the whole state banquet.
After the state banquet, Xiao Yizheng held his head and walked to the carriage of King Heng's Mansion step by step. Tonight, he had a little drink, but he wasn't drunk.
When the carriage was about to reach the Hengwang Mansion, it suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" He asked with a frown.
"Your Highness, someone stopped the car." The outsider replied.
He lifted the curtain and saw Kikina standing in front of his carriage.
Previously, Xiao Yihe ordered him to be responsible for receiving envoys, and he had
