Chapter 952: The road is narrow
The Imperial Palace of the State of Chu, the Imperial Study.
Mr. Xu and the others stood quietly below, Emperor Chu sat on the main seat, and Tang Ning sat on his left side.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Tang Ning, as the lord of Xiaowan and the lord of the Western Regions, already had the qualifications to be on an equal footing with him.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized why this kid had angered him again and again when he pretended to let his daughter marry the lord of Xiaowan just now......
Thinking of the heartache he pretended just now, he almost deceived him, and Emperor Chu's heart became a nameless fire.
If he really agreed to Xiao Wan's proposal, wouldn't he still cheapen him for nothing?
What made him even more unacceptable was that his daughter actually joined forces with this kid to lie to him together!
Emperor Chu looked at Tang Ning and said in a calm tone: "You have a good calculation......
Tang Ning smiled and said: "The Lord of the Western Regions is me, and Tang Ning is also me, no matter what my identity is, my heart for Lan Lan will not change." ”
When Emperor Chu heard this, the expression on his face softened slightly, glanced at Tang Ning, and said, "Don't think that if you are the lord of Xiaowan Kingdom, I will easily marry my daughter to you." ”
Having said that, after knowing Tang Ning's identity, his heart was much more comfortable.
The dignified princess of Chu State married an official of Chen State as a concubine, what kind of system is this?
However, if he is the Lord of the Western Regions, the meaning of this is different.
This is a real match, and it is not an insult to the majesty of the royal family of Chu State.
Tang Ning looked at him and said, "No matter what, I won't give up." ”
Thinking that his daughter's elbow had turned outward, and the matter was already irreparable, Emperor Chu looked at him and said, "It's okay to marry Lan Lan, but she must be Xiao Wan's mother of the country." ”
Tang Ning was stunned, then shook his head and said, "This can't work." ”
Syllable!
Emperor Chu slapped the table and said, "You don't want to get an inch!" ”
Emperor Chu is undoubtedly much more difficult than the rich man of Tang, but in this matter, Tang Ning can't back down a single step.
Unable to reach an agreement on key issues, this negotiation ended in an unhappy end, Tang Ning was also mentally prepared for this, after he left the palace, he did not return to the princess's mansion, nor did he settle down in the accommodation arranged for him by the court of Chu, but found an inn in the city casually.
It didn't take long for Li Tianlan to push open the door of his room, walk in from the outside, and say, "I will persuade my father's ......."
Tang Ning held her hand and said, "It's me who is not good for making you wait so long......"
Li Tianlan sat down beside him and said, "Let's talk about it, what has happened around you in the past two years. ”
Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "There are so many things that have happened, I don't know where to start......
Li Tianlan said: "Two years ago, you married the third lady and the fourth lady, how many ladies are you now?" ”
……
Several of her questions hit the heart directly, and Tang Ning could imagine that after taking her back to Qiandi, with her temperament, she would definitely collide with Tang Fairy.
If Su Mei is added, even Tang Ning himself doesn't know what kind of embarrassing situation he will face at that time.
Fortunately, he has not made much progress in other areas over the years, and his ability to coax girls has been tempered countless times, and he has been climbing steadily.
Even so, it took Tang Ning a full three days to wipe out the last resentment in her heart.
In the past few days, Emperor Chu did not look for him.
Because in recent days, the court of Chu has been busy with a major event.
The original King Xin had only one daughter, which led to the fact that His Majesty now has only one princess, the queen cannot have children, and he does not have the idea of taking a concubine, in this case, the selection of the next emperor of Chu has become a big problem.
The State of Chu was much more active than the State of Chen in the matter of establishing the prince.
In order to prevent the princes from seizing the heirs and fighting each other, the state of Chu will set up a crown prince very early, so even if the current Chu emperor is in the prime of life, he must implement the position of the prince as soon as possible.
The emperor has no heirs, this kind of thing has not happened in history, and the solution is nothing more than passing it on to his brothers, or choosing an heir from among the royal family.
Emperor Chu still has to be the emperor for many years, and the throne naturally cannot be passed on to his brother, but one of his sons and nephews is selected.
Tang Ning has heard a lot of people talking about this matter these days, it is said that the one who was finally chosen was the son of Xianwang, who was the half-brother of Emperor Chu, who left Kyoto and went to the fiefdom decades ago, but presumably he would never have expected that he would not be able to take the throne, but one day, he would be able to sit in the position of the emperor.
I heard that the prince had come to Kyoto yesterday, and it is not surprising that his canonization ceremony will be held within this year.
Who will inherit the throne of Chu has nothing to do with Tang Ning, and when Emperor Chu is busy with these things, he should think of him soon.
Tang Ning stayed in the inn, idle and bored, so he went out for a walk with Xiaoxiao.
Halfway through shopping, Tang Ning suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head to look at Lao Zheng behind him, and asked, "Didn't you say that you met a master here, and you want to find a way back this time, have you fought it?" ”
This time, he didn't plan to let Lao Zheng come with him, but he took the initiative to ask for his peers, and Tang Ning did not refuse.
It's just that he is a little curious about Lao Zheng, except for the master of Wan Yan Yan and the old beggar, he rarely takes others in his eyes, let alone admits that he has lost a little.
Lao Zheng shook his head and said, "I didn't find it." ”
How did Tang Ning think about it, it was simply an excuse for him, his purpose was just to come to Chu State with them, I have to say that as a guard, Lao Zheng's due diligence was enough to make most of his peers embarrassed.
Xiaoxiao took Tang Ning's arm and said, "Let's go to my mother-in-law's place to eat noodles, the noodles cooked by my mother-in-law are delicious......
Hearing their conversation, Lao Zheng, who was limping behind Tang Ning, couldn't help frowning.
Speaking of which, Tang Ning hadn't eaten the noodles cooked by that mother-in-law for four years, and when he heard the words, he was also aroused, and said, "Let's go, I also miss my mother-in-law's noodles a little......"
A group of three people came to the noodle stall, but did not see the old woman outside, listening to the owner of the surrounding shops, he just fought with an old beggar, this mother-in-law's noodles are well cooked, and her temper is also very short-tempered.
Although the two were disappointed, they could only go back to the inn first.
Downing was about to leave when there was a sudden commotion on the street in front of him.
The people ran to both sides of the street, stood against the wall, and gave way to the main street, and the group walked down the street, slowly walking towards this side.
At the head of the group were several young people, richly dressed and extraordinary, and at first glance they were powerful people.
The young man who walked in the front, Tang Ning looked a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered, wasn't that person the young man who had a conflict with them because of his entanglement in Xianzhou?
Xiaoxiao obviously recognized this person, pulled Tang Ning's sleeve, and whispered: "Why is he ......?"
In the crowd, the young man listened to the flattery of the people around him, and his heart was fluttering, and his eyes flickered inadvertently, and he suddenly saw several familiar figures in the crowd.
His footsteps paused, and there seemed to be a hot pain on his face again, his face sank at first, and then he sneered: "What a coincidence......"
