Chapter 201: Sadness or Joy
After the people in the palace left, Xie Yurou's face changed suddenly, pushed away the maid who followed behind him, and left without looking back.
Yuan Zheng glanced at Xie Fuyao fiercely, his eyes were full of vicious looks.
Xie Fuyao just smiled lightly and didn't take it to heart, but the well-designed plan backfired, and no one could be happy.
As soon as he returned to Mingfeng Courtyard, he heard the sound of scattering inside, and looked at the porcelain that was smashed to pieces on the ground, Yuan Zheng sighed.
"Alright, what's the use of you losing your temper now? Yuan Zheng stood at the door, his face pale.
"How would I have known what was going on...... At that time, the emperor had obviously decided to give Xie Fuyao to the envoy of the Duoyue Kingdom, but all the time in one afternoon had changed. ”
Xie Yurou was so angry that even her breathing became a little anxious, and the injustice and anger in her heart turned into the flames of hell as if to devour her.
"Mother, why do you say this, why is her life so good, obviously she has reached a desperate situation, and in the blink of an eye, she became the princess of Chu, why is this? Why did I calculate so much, but in the end nothing was as good as her......"
"Okay, okay, don't cry, it's my mother who is bad, my mother shouldn't say that about your ......"
Seeing Xie Yurou's embarrassed appearance, Yuan Zheng was a little unbearable, she stepped forward to protect Xie Yurou in her arms.
"It's just marrying the King of Chu, what's the big deal, at best, it's on an equal footing with you. ”
The anger in Yuan Zheng's heart was no worse than Xie Yurou, but she knew that she couldn't panic, the more critical the moment, the more she had to stay calm.
"Don't forget, now the harem is Concubine Lin's world, Xie Fuyao marrying the King of Chu is equivalent to becoming a thorn in Concubine Lin's side, and Concubine Lin will never face her again in the future, and she will no longer be able to rob King Xuan with you. ”
Xie Yurou tried her best to calm her mood, yes, what can you do if you become the princess of Chu? King Chu can't fight King Xuan.
When the time came, Xie Fuyao was not casually taken care of by himself, thinking of this, Xie Yurou's face showed a grim smile.
Mingxin Garden.
Since they came back, Ziyu and Ziyun have been chatting non-stop, and the holy decrees neatly placed on the table are almost seen by the two of them.
"It's great that Miss is actually married to the King of Chu, the King of Chu is not only personable and extraordinary, but also has saved Miss many times......"
Ziyu's face was intoxicated, as if she was about to get married.
"The King of Chu and our young lady are so compatible, and when the two of them stand together, they are simply a pair of golden boys and girls. ”
"Yes, I also think that Miss and the King of Chu are very compatible, and this matter may be the idea of the King of Chu. Ziyun looked excited.
"The most important thing is that if the young lady marries the king of Chu, she doesn't have to leave the capital to go to that wild place. ”
Of course, there are still some words that Ziyun hid in his heart and didn't say.
Xie Fuyao married the King of Chu, and she was one step closer to Liang Rui, although she couldn't do anything, but she could see it every day, and Ziyun would be satisfied.
"What are you two talking nonsense!" Xie Fuyao was very upset now, she didn't know whether this matter was good or bad.
Wei Zheng's experience is still in front of him, but he is about to marry a prince again.
Whether tomorrow's Wei Jingyao will become yesterday's Wei Zheng, Xie Fuyao is not sure at all, and even has doubts about his goal all along.
After overthrowing Wei Zheng, Wei Jingyao will ascend to the throne, and he will become his queen at that time.
Empress! Xie Fuyao sneered.
A queen who no longer uses her value, how should she get along with him when the time comes?
Seeing that he has three thousand in the harem, and he can only be in these tedious little things. Slowly wasting time.
When you get in the way, you will be kicked away mercilessly, how familiar and terrible it all is.
Xie Fuyao closed her eyes and sighed slightly, she didn't want these beautiful pasts to become a little rotten and moldy.
"We didn't talk nonsense, Miss and King Chu are obviously in love, and now that there is a holy decree to marry, shouldn't they all be happy?"
Ziyu intimately served a bowl of beauty tonic soup and put it in front of Xie Fuyao.
Xie Fuyao sighed, even Ziyu could see that she and Wei Jingyao were in love?
"Who said I liked him anymore, it's just a partnership between me and him. Xie Fu shook his mouth and said stiffly.
"Miss, don't quibble, if you don't like King Chu, how can you risk your life to Chengzhou. Ziyun quipped.
"The mind between you can be seen clearly by anyone with a discerning eye, I think King Chu is different from King Xuan, he is a righteous gentleman and a person worthy of trust. ”
Ziyun's two understated sentences upset Xie Fuyao's heart, are Wei Jingyao and Wei Zheng different?
Yes, they are indeed different, but if they sit in a high position for a long time, they will inevitably be assimilated by the imperial power, will Wei Jingyao still be like today?
"Miss, now that the decree has come down, even if you want to repent of your marriage, it's too late. Ziyun pinched Xie Fu's shoulder.
"Yes, even if you don't agree to this family business, the eldest lady will not give up, maybe she will find you another kind of husband's family, according to the slave maid, the king of Chu is a better choice. ”
Xie Fuyao took a clear bite of the soup in the bowl, but there was no taste in his mouth.
What's the use of worrying so much, the current situation no longer allows you to think more, and only marrying Wei Jingyao is the only way out.
As for the future, you can only take one step at a time, and the only thing you can control in the future is your own heart, but this mind is also the most difficult thing to control.
In this life, I will never easily like anyone again, and I never want to experience that unforgettable pain again.
"Okay, I know you two are good to me, let's go back to sleep after a tired day. Xie Fu shook the corners of his mouth and squeezed out a smile.
"It's supposed to be the young lady who should have a good rest, this day has experienced the ups and downs of life, and you must take care of your spirit. Ziyun covered her mouth and smiled.
"You girl, see that I don't tear your mouth apart. Xie Fuyao raised his hand and pretended to beat someone.
"Miss spare your life, the slave doesn't dare, today is the purple jade vigil, I'll go down first. ”
As soon as the words fell, Ziyun ran out in a puff of smoke, for fear that Xie Fuyao would chase him out.
Chapter 202: Kneeling in Qixiang Palace
"Miss, don't think about it so much, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, no matter what happens, there will always be a solution. Ziyu blew out the extra candles and comforted.
"yes, there's always a solution. Xie Fuyao sighed.
It's a big deal that after taking revenge, he will leave here, take Ziyun and Ziyu to find a place where no one is around, and go to live a happy life.
In front of Qixiang Palace, a moon-white figure knelt on the stone steps, although it was already spring, it still couldn't resist, and the coolness after sunset was cold.
Wei Jingyao moved his stiff waist slightly, struggling to kneel up straight, and the dull pain from his knee tortured his will.
Since the emperor had lunch and left the Xiang Palace, Wei Jingyao has been kneeling here, and now it is sunset, but Concubine Cheng has no intention of letting him get up.
It seems that the mother concubine is really angry this time, Wei Jingyao pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, so let's just kneel here obediently and wait for her to slowly dissipate her anger.
This matter has to start from three hours ago, after the palace banquet, the emperor wanted to stay in Qixiang Palace for dinner, and Concubine Cheng left Wei Jingyao on the grounds that the mother and son had not seen each other for many days.
Now that the battle for the storage position is becoming more and more intense, coupled with the incident in Chengzhou, it is impossible for Wei Jingyao to get out of the way.
Now only by going all out and sitting in the position where everyone looks up can we ensure our own safety, which Concubine Cheng knows very well.
Therefore, the emotional connection between Wei Jingyao and the emperor is indispensable.
After arriving at Qixiang Palace, the emperor's interest was still undiminished, and he talked with Concubine Cheng at the dinner table, and the family affairs between Xie Fuyao and the envoys of Duoyue Kingdom.
"What does Concubine Ai think of this family business?" the emperor sandwiched a piece of fish meat and tasted it in his mouth.
"The concubines don't understand political matters, but when they see the holy daughter of Duoyue Kingdom today, the concubines are quite surprised. Concubine Cheng said softly.
"I originally thought that the women in this world were the same as the women of the Central Plains, but I didn't expect that there would be a different scenery. ”
"Concubine Ai is right, Duoyue Kingdom has been attached to our dynasty for a long time, but this is every year when they give us Jiang Guo's offering, but they have never seen the strange things we have here, especially our women from the Central Plains.
The emperor sighed with emotion, "If we can use the marriage as an opportunity to export the culture of my Jiang country to the surrounding small countries, it will make them even more in awe of our dynasty." ”
As he spoke, the emperor stroked his beard and looked at the porcelain paid tribute by Duoyue Kingdom, as if he was looking at the world.
"I heard that the emperor named Xie Fuyao as the county lord of Anping, so it can be regarded as the right person. Concubine Cheng was overjoyed in her heart and continued with the emperor's words.
"There is no saint in their country, and I can also give Xie Fuyao another identity......" The emperor said eloquently.
Wei Jingyao sat next to him, thinking silently about countermeasures,
Now that his father has made up his mind to marry Duoyouguo, I am afraid that the usual method will not be able to shake his mind, and this is the only way to do it for now.
"Father. Wei Jingyao lifted his robe, knelt on his knees, and looked serious, as if he had made a great choice.
"Okay, what's this for. The emperor was slightly surprised.
"The sons and daughters have important things to ask each other, and they also ask their father to fulfill them. Wei Jingyao kowtowed in a proper manner.
"This is really a rare thing, after so many years, this is the first time that you have something to ask for, tell me, what do you want to ask for?" the emperor chuckled.
Looking at the child in front of him, the emperor's heart was a little moved, Wei Jingyao's personality is very similar to Concubine Cheng, he holds everything in his heart, and never takes the initiative to ask for anything.
"Yao'er! Concubine Cheng frowned and shook her head at Wei Jingyao.
Of course, she knew what Wei Jingyao wanted to ask for, but that Xie Fuyao was from a humble background and too ambitious, so he was not a good person.
During this time, Concubine Cheng has been paying attention to the noble daughter in Beijing, and wants to choose a gentle and virtuous person from among them to become Wei Jingyao's princess of Chu.
The granddaughter of the British duke, Na Jinxi, is gentle and generous, and is her favorite candidate, Concubine Cheng thought that she would mention it to the emperor in a few days, but she didn't think that something went wrong today.
"You, you're just too angry with me, just let him say whatever the kid wants, why scare him. The emperor's face was soft, like a loving father.
"The sons and daughters have loved Xie for a long time, and I implore my father and the emperor to give a decree to give marriage and fulfill the wishes of the sons and daughters. Wei Jingyao raised his head and said word by word.
Wei Jingyao's words made the emperor slightly stunned, and in a blink of an eye, this child is also a weak crown, and he has already reached the age when he should get married.
Because Concubine Cheng never mentioned it, she never paid attention to this matter, and now it seems that she was indeed negligent.
"The emperor forgives the sin, Yao'er drank too much wine and is talking nonsense. Concubine Cheng hurriedly knelt on the ground, trying to save the current situation.
Now Wei Jingyao's image in the emperor's mind is good, if his previous efforts are abandoned because of Xie Fuyao, then everything is not worth it.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Erchen fell in love with Miss Xie at first sight, and when the disaster was relieved, he was helped by Miss Xie many times. ”
Wei Jingyao is very sober, he has never been so sober for so many years.
He clearly knew what he wanted, if he lost Xie Fuyao this time, he would not have any fun in his life.
"Erchen has always been obsessed with Miss Xie, and hopes that his father and mother will be fulfilled. ”
Concubine Cheng's heart was raised in her throat, for fear that the emperor would be angry and blame Wei Jingyao for this.
"Hahaha...... I still thought it was a big deal, wasn't it Miss Xie Jiaba, I was right!"
The emperor looked at the mother and son kneeling on the ground, and out of the psychology of compensation, he agreed boldly.
Wei Jingyao raised his head and looked at the emperor in front of him in disbelief, his eyes were full of shock, and he forgot to say the words of thanks.
In Wei Jingyao's heart, the image of his father has always been majestic and cold.
But today, he felt that his father's cold mask seemed to tear a gap, revealing a kind smile.
Looking at his son's sluggish expression, the emperor felt a little funny for a while, above the court, he had never seen the expression of King Chu.
I don't know if I was carried away by this warm picture, the emperor actually reached out and gently rubbed Wei Jingyao's hair twice.
At this moment, Wei Jingyao was even more confused, stunned in place, and didn't react for a long time, what happened just now!
"What are you still kneeling for, get up quickly. The emperor withdrew his hand and cleared his throat, as if to hide his embarrassment.
