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.
