Section 32 The Marriage of the Eldest Princess

Mo Dongling thought about it, and seemed to feel that Wei Nanyan's words were a little too far, so he shook his head and said: "The marriage of the children of the royal family has always been a royal internal affair, and I am a foreign minister, so I have no qualifications to advise. Besides, no one in the palace has mentioned the matter of proposing marriage to the eldest princess now, no matter how much you and I talk here, but without Your Majesty's approval, if there is no suitable object and suitable opportunity, what is the use. ”

Wei Nanyan paced to a chair and sat down slowly: "Your Excellency's words are wrong. As long as there is a heart, there are no conditions, conditions can be created; if there is no suitable person, you can find a suitable person, as long as you have the heart, why worry about it? Moreover, if so many large and small countries around the Li Dynasty did not spend money on gold, silver, wealth, and silk, It doesn't cost a single soldier to maintain or establish friendly diplomatic relations, how could our Majesty not allow such a good deal, he just needs to find a man who can marry our world-famous eldest princess, as long as the other party is a member of the royal family, and his status can match, whether he is an old man in his seventies or eighties or a prince and grandson who looks like Pan An, how can His Majesty not look for it, how can he not find it?"

"Didn't you say that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had something to do with Emperor Wei, if Your Majesty could marry her to the Northern Wei Dynasty-"

Wei Nanyan chuckled and said, "If that's the case, maybe Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will thank us." ”

"Northern Wei Dynasty ......" Mo Dongling thought of the fragile defense line of Beiping Mountain, and thought of the bitter battles when the jungle came to attack last time, and couldn't help but say slowly: "Since the fall of Li Rao, the king of Xishan, the defense line of Beiping has always worried me, seeing that the Northern Wei Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, although there has been no war so far, but the first emperor has always distrusted the military more than support and pension, so in recent years, whether it is military spirit or military strength, in fact, not much progress has been made. According to what you said, if this eldest princess can marry the Northern Wei Dynasty in the name of the eldest princess, then the Beiping area will definitely be able to recuperate for a few years...... But Nanyan, what are you going to do? If Your Majesty can't think of this stubble himself, can't you let your father and me, a foreign minister, just run to him like this, mention the royal internal affairs for no reason, and ask Your Majesty to marry the eldest princess quickly, preferably to the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

"Why not?"

Mo Dongling was stunned, looking at Wei Nanyan who was sitting on a chair in a Taoist robe, she smiled, her gray skirt was cold and neat, and the light in her eyes flickered, as if everything was in her calculation and control. Suddenly, Mo Dongling had some inexplicable distance and strangeness, this daughter who he had almost been free-range in the harem for many years and had been silent for many years, seemed to have grown up suddenly at this moment, and grew into a strong, intelligent, almost no weaknesses and even a deep-thinking warrior, Ren is Mo Dongling, who has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, couldn't help but be a little in awe of the firmness and persistence in her tone, he opened his mouth but didn't speak, just stared deeply at Wei Nanyan, and Wei Nanyan calmly faced his gaze, for a long time, for a long time.

After Mo Dongling left Yunli Temple, he hurriedly returned to the house to change his clothes, and then rushed to the palace. When he entered the palace, it was not early, and when he learned that the emperor was still in the Zichen Palace, he hurriedly went towards the Zichen Palace, and on the way, Wei Nanyan and his words were carefully considered in his heart, and he felt that his daughter was thoughtful, and she was far above herself: Wei Nanyan not only expected that today's disguise to Yunliguan would soon reach His Majesty's ears, so that he should not hide it, enter the palace early and say it to His Majesty, but also completely inform His Majesty of his views and suggestions on the eldest princess's marriage, and tell His Majesty the truth, the eldest princess is in the country for a day, and Wei Yan will not be able to stay in the county lord for a day, and marry the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is of great benefit to the stability of the north of the Li Dynasty, and such a suggestion must be made in public and private, as a courtier. And if the emperor asks who first proposed to marry the eldest princess, Mo Dongling can say that he does not dare to hide it, this is really Nanyan's selfishness, she was originally the concubine of the first emperor, not to mention the embarrassment of her identity, it was because of His Majesty's mercy that she had the opportunity to return to the palace to serve. She knew that the eldest princess and Miss Lin were on good terms, and she was also afraid that after returning to the palace, Miss Lin would not only have the position of queen, but also the affection of His Majesty, and the help of the eldest princess, I was afraid that her life would be even more difficult at that time, so she selfishly hoped that the princess would marry as soon as possible, so she came up with such an idea.

In this way, it is not suspicious of public and private, affectionate and reasonable-Mo Dongling was suddenly stunned in his heart, in fact, this matter was the truth, and he had nothing to doubt! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: The capital is really a place of right and wrong, if it weren't for the huge Mo family and Nanyan and Yan'er, where would he want to get involved in this storm, he would like to stay in the west forever and live this life happily.

When Mo Dongling arrived at the Zichen Palace, he found that Li Nan was not serving in the inner hall, but was also guarding the outer door, and seemed to have been looking at something outside. ”

"Ah, why is Marshal Mo here! It's not early in the morning, the marshal is entering the palace at this time, is there something urgent to find His Majesty?"

"It's not urgent, but it's important. I want to tell Your Majesty in person, but I wonder if Your Majesty will be available at this moment?"

Li Nan's face was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty has something to do today, let the old slave guard here, and say that no one will see ......"

"No one will see ......" Mo Dongling was only afraid that he would not be able to see the emperor when he returned to the harem, but he didn't expect to catch up with the hour, but he had a closed door in Zichen Palace, and was hesitating, when he suddenly saw a woman not far away, walking towards them alone.

"That's ......" Mo Dongling looked at it intently, and saw that the woman had a solemn expression, noble clothes, but there was no attendant beside her, she seemed to be holding something important in her hands, and every step was extremely slow and very careful. This woman's appearance is a little unfamiliar to Mo Dongling, he has always known little about the people in the harem, he thought it was a concubine in the palace, but this road can only lead to the gate of the Zichen Palace, ordinary concubines can't come here at all, how did this woman come in? Mo Dongling saw that Li Nan also looked at the woman, and was about to speak, but Li Nan hurriedly crossed him to greet him.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, you are here!"

Mo Dongling was taken aback, it turned out that this person was the eldest princess Yao Jin in Wei Nanyan's mouth, and he hurriedly retreated to the side to salute: "Minister Mo Dongling, meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"

And Yao Jin didn't seem to notice that there was Mo Dongling at all, her eyes were always fixed on the front, and when she passed by him, she didn't stop at all, and went straight to the Zichen Palace. However, she walked too slowly, and Mo Dongling could even hear her footsteps being a little light and heavy, as if a person with weak legs and feet was trying his best to endure it. But even so, Yao Jin still didn't let Li Nan support him, holding a sandalwood box in both hands, pursed his lips, and walked in step by step with a solemn expression.

Watching her emaciated and arrogant back drag a long distance across the bricks and stones on the ground, drawing a somewhat deformed shadow on the somewhat shallow and concave ground, her appearance was not amazing, and her demeanor was also very indifferent, but it was such a woman who grew up in the deep palace, when she was only fifteen years old, she was able to take nine cities, one river and thirteen counties from the hands of the first emperor, and within three or five years, the reputation of Xiao Nanguo was known at home and abroad- Mo Dongling remembered Wei Nanyan's jealousy of the eldest princess, and couldn't help but ask in his heart: What kind of person is she?
