Chapter 278: Appreciating Each Other
The two identified themselves to the guards at the door, and Najib personally came forward to receive Tuoba Zeyan and Yoo Mong-yeon.
After entering the post house, Tuoba Zeyan seemed to inadvertently talk to Prince Najib about the trade of the Great Tuoba to the Uzzi Kingdom.
Since ancient times, trade between the two countries has been closely related to people's livelihood, and it involves the foundation of a country, so Najib naturally has to be careful.
The two talked with great interest, and Liu Ruli saw that the timing was about the same, so she pretended to be a little woman and said without interest: "What about Princess Elilian?" This princess hasn't seen her for a few days, and I'm too lazy to listen to you court. We women are not interested in what you men talk about. ”
Tuoba Zeyan showed a hint of helplessness at the corner of his mouth, and obviously with a somewhat doting smile: "It's the king's fault, I had a good conversation with Prince Najib, and I ignored the princess for a while." ”
As he spoke, he turned to Najib and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, women in this world have never been interested in men's affairs. ”
"The prince's words are wrong, it is Najib's hospitality that does not expand." As he spoke, Najib instructed his entourage, "You, take the princess to find Princess Elilian in person." ”
The entourage received the order, stepped forward and saluted: "Princess, please come with the villain." ”
Liu Mengyan nodded, walked through the corridor, and was led to another room.
There were two maidservants in exotic clothes standing at the door, Liu Mengyan looked at Bitong silently, and Bitong understood.
The world is as close as a mother and daughter, and there may not be anyone who understands the master's affairs better than a maid.
After Liu Mengyan entered Princess Elilian's house, Bitong naturally stayed at the door to chat with the two maids who were waiting by Elilian's side.
"I've seen the princess."
"I've seen Princess Yi."
The two saluted each other.
The visitor was a guest, Princess Elilian and Liu Mengyan greeted each other, so they sat lazily on the chair and said, "Why are the six princesses free today?" ”
The tone is not very friendly, and Liu Mengyan can understand it.
After all, at the Spring Festival banquet, Elilian had taken the initiative to propose a marriage with Emperor Xuan to Da Tuoba Zeyan, and the object was still Tuoba Zeyan, and it was natural to be unhappy when she saw herself now.
But after understanding, Liu Ruli still felt faintly uncomfortable in her heart, but fortunately she didn't show it on her face, and said with a light smile: "Naturally, I came to see the future fifth sister-in-law, I heard that the princess has made a marriage with the fifth prince, isn't it the future fifth sister-in-law of this princess!" We'll be a family from now on. ”
As soon as Liu Mengyan's words fell, Elilian's face changed instantly, and her tone became even colder: "I don't want to marry that man!" ”
Liu Ruli naturally guessed that Elilian had no feelings for the five princes, and when she saw this, a smile flashed on her lips, and she pretended to be puzzled and said: "The matter of harmony is now known to the government and the opposition, and the princess threatens not to marry the fifth prince at this time, forgive Mengyan for her courage, what is the reason for this?" ”
Yi Lilian gradually withdrew the anger on her face, as if she remembered something, and said with a small face: "Princess Yi heard it wrong just now, and this princess naturally didn't want to marry the fifth prince." ”
Seeing that she hurriedly changed her words, Liu Mengyan softened her voice, and sighed intentionally: "I originally wanted to help Her Royal Highness the princess escape such an insulting marriage, but I didn't expect the princess to do it voluntarily." Forget it, Mengyan thought too much about this matter, and today's matter was treated as Mengyan never mentioned, and Mengyan said goodbye. ”
With that, Liu Mengyan turned around and walked towards the door.
"Wait."
Elilian couldn't help but stop her, and then almost gritted her teeth and said, "What do you know?" ”
Liu Mengyan hooked the corners of her lips quietly, turned around, and said in a light tone: "There is no impermeable secret in the world, and naturally it is the dirty thing that happened to the princess in the palace of the queen that day. ”
Elilian's pupils shrank, probably remembering the humiliating memory, and a trace of discomfort flashed across her gorgeous face.
But she soon covered it up again.
She is the most beautiful princess of the country of Uzi.
Although she is a concubine, she is very favored by her father.
Since childhood, he has a stubborn temper and does not like to show timidity in front of others.
What Liu Mengyan wants is for Elilian to remember the humiliation of that day.
"Princess, if you're interested, why don't we make a deal?" Liu Mengyan knows that Elilian is stubborn.
In the previous life, in order to help Tuoba Yeze get the help of the Uzi country, she personally helped Tuoba Yeze establish an affectionate and majestic image, and won Elilian's favor.
Thinking of the stupidity at that time, Liu Ruli couldn't wait to slap herself at this time!
She's not just stupid, she's blind!
Now, she only has to reveal the true face of that man, and Tuoba Yeze wants to get the help of a soldier from the Uzi country again!
Sure enough, as soon as Elilian heard this, she suddenly came to her senses.
She agreed to marry the fifth prince out of necessity, and if she could, she naturally didn't want to marry the man who took away her virginity.
The women of the Great Tuoba regard their innocence as their fate, but the women of their Uz country are not bound to accept their fate.
Yi Lilian stared straight at Liu Mengyan, and opened her mouth for a while: "What deal does Princess Yi want to make with me?" ”
Liu Mengyan didn't sell anything to her, and met Elilian's gaze and said, "The princess doesn't need to test the concubine's sincerity, this transaction is beneficial to the princess and not harmful." Concubine Ben knows that the princess is unwilling to marry the five princes, and I am willing to help you break the marriage contract with the five princes. On the other hand, Concubine Ben hopes that the princess will remember that you owe me a favor. When it's time to pay it back, I hope the princess won't forget. ”
Dissolution of marriage?
This is a big deal that the two countries have agreed upon!
Elilian's beautiful big eyes looked at Liu Mengyan suspiciously, and when she saw that she was frank and let herself look at her, the hostility in her eyes gradually subsided.
Suddenly, she thought of a possibility.
A flash of expectation flashed in Elilian's eyes, and she looked at Liu Mengyan and said, "You haven't said why you want to help me?" Besides, aren't you the Sixth Imperial Princess? Could it be that you six princes don't want me to marry the fifth prince? ”
Liu Mengyan didn't expect that this princess was still thinking about Tuoba Zeyan at this moment, rolled up a smile, and said lightly: "This matter has nothing to do with my prince, but this princess doesn't want to." ”
Elilian also knew that this was just her wishful thinking, but when she really heard Liu Mengyan say this, a trace of disappointment inevitably flashed in her heart.
How good it would be if the man who shines like the sun, moon and stars had his own place in his heart.
Seeing the disappointment on Elalian's face, Liu Mengyan was inexplicably happy in her heart.
However, since she guessed Elilian's heart for Tuoba Zeyan, how could she leave her a chance to dream, so she denied her words in one mouth.
Elilianhu looked suspiciously at the woman in front of her, "Why don't you want this princess to marry the fifth prince?" Supposedly, you should be hostile to me. At the Chinese New Year banquet, I made it clear that I loved the Six Princes. If this princess repents at that time and proposes to make peace with the six princes, what should you do? ”
"The princess's body of golden branches and jade leaves, how can she condescend to the position of a concubine." Liu Mengyan smiled slightly.
In fact, she admired Elilian's straightforwardness, and when she thought of helping Tuoba Yeze design her in her previous life, a wave of guilt surged in her heart.
Fortunately, there was a chance to correct the mistake this time, and things were far from running out of turning back.
"Besides, at that time, the sixth prince had not yet married Mengyan, and the princess was a young girl, so it was natural for her to love my Royal Highness. It is normal for people to do things, why should this concubine bother with the princess? Liu Mengyan said.
Yi Lilian only felt comfortable when she heard this, her eyes lit up, and she also admired Liu Mengyan's coolness.
Liu Mengyan saw the light in Elilian's eyes, and said seriously and honestly: "The fifth prince is cunning and insidious, and he is by no means a good type. Mengyan didn't want to see the princess be killed by him one day, so the next words were to ask the princess to keep it in mind. He, Tuoba Yeze wanted to marry the princess not because he fell in love with the princess, but because he fell in love with the national strength of the Uzi country! ”
Elilian frowned, was silent for a long time, and pretended to be unintentional: "You came here to lobby on purpose, isn't it that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince also has a fancy to the national strength of the Uzi Kingdom?" It's a pity that my imperial brother has already made an agreement with him, but I'm afraid that you have miscalculated. ”
Liu Mengyan immediately understood the meaning of Elilian's words, and smiled confidently: "The princess is so smart, can't you see that Brother Ling is using the princess as a commodity in exchange for Da Tuoba?" If the princess doesn't want to marry, it's not impossible. Man's destiny is always in his own hands. If the princess goes back and tells your brother everything at this time, so that he can take the opportunity to raise the banner against Najib at this time, everything will change again. Anyway, Najib's talent is insufficient, and he is not a suitable heir at all. Your brother Dahui has only known people, and he is very popular with your father. If he knew that the princess was killed by Prince Najib and Tuoba Yeze here, he would not have stood idly by. ”
Elilian was originally just testing Liu Mengyan's ability, but she didn't expect her to come up with such a bold idea for herself in a blink of an eye, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.
There is a feeling of pity and pity in her heart, in fact, these days she is hesitating whether to ask her compatriots for help.
Liu Mengyan didn't say anything more, and sat quietly and waited.
After all, if this matter is handled carelessly, the winner will be king, and the loser will be the villain, and it will not be a simple battle against each other, bloody storm.
Elilian's eyes flashed for a long time, as if she had finally made up her mind.
It's just that before that, she has one more thing to be sure.
Elilian raised her head, looked at Liu Mengyan fixedly, and said, "This matter is related to the safety of my royal family in Uzi, why should I believe you?" What the hell are you for! ”
Liu Mengyan was stunned, then curled the corners of her mouth and said, "If this concubine says that she hates Tuoba Yeze, will the princess believe it?" ”
Liu Mengyan was noncommittal, and her face did not change: "The princess can not believe in this concubine." But you have to think clearly, are you really willing to marry a man who relies on coercion to force you to submit to the house? ”
As she spoke, she paused slightly, and then said, "If the princess thinks clearly, she can make someone inform Mengyan." My Highness and I can help you get the message back to Uzi, or even help you get out of here. ”
