Chapter 209: The Determination After the Great Week
The marriage between the Song and Tang dynasties, after a quiet month, accompanied by the legend of Qianguan Niu, was once again noisy.
This time is different from the past, if the last time it can be heard as a rumor, then this time it must be treated as a state affair carefully. Because the Emperor of the Song Dynasty did not mention it casually as a joke on the occasion of the banquet this time, but in front of the envoys of the whole world, he openly wanted to promote this matter.
The emperor did what he said, if the matter ended up being fruitless. For the emperor who has lost face, only war can be ashamed.
The excitement of a windfall from the sky and the terror of the clouds of war befell the people of Li Tang at the same time.
In the mansion of Prince Li Tang, Emperor Zhou E, who had just become a mother, was looking at his infant son who was sleeping sweetly with doting eyes, when he heard a commotion coming from outside.
"Sister, sister~~~"
Hearing Sister A's call, Emperor Zhou E knew that this was his little sister Zhou Wei coming. In this prince's mansion, except for Zhou Wei, the ghost spirit, no one dares to call herself the crown princess of the current dynasty like this, let alone make such a wanton noise.
In order to avoid the sleeping young son being woken up, Emperor Zhou E had to get up and go to greet Zhou Wei, and those servants must not be able to stop her.
"Sister!" Seeing Emperor Zhou E coming out of the room, Zhou Wei hurriedly stepped forward and shouted.
"Shh Emperor Zhou E made a silent gesture and said, "Zhongyu is sleeping, don't wake up, our sisters go to the garden to talk." ”
"Oh, oh!" Zhou Wei nodded hurriedly and whispered.
At this time, it is early autumn, and in the back garden of the Prince's Mansion, all kinds of flowers are blooming one after another. The Zhou sisters, who are like flowers and jade, walk slowly in the meantime, which is in response to the peerless poem that people are more colorless than flowers and flowers, and flowers are also gloomy in front of people.
"Why did my little sister remember to see Sister Ah here today?" Emperor Zhou E glanced at Zhou Wei, who was holding his jade arm, and asked.
Zhou Wei sighed lightly and said, "Hey........ I don't know how to open my mouth and talk to my sister. ”
Emperor Zhou E smiled slightly: "Our sisters have always been indistinguishable from each other, what is it difficult to talk to Sister A?" ”
Zhou Wei pouted: "It's just hard to speak!" ”
"Well, if you don't. But I don't know if I think of it. Looking at this little girl's expression, she obviously has a stomach full of concerns, but she has to pretend to excuse herself. For his little sister, Zhou Ehuang thought that he knew a lot, so he didn't believe that she could hold back and not say anything, so he deliberately said something stimulating.
"Not anymore." Zhou Wei was puzzled: "Sister is bored in this prince's mansion all day long, and there are many things that she will definitely not know." What's more, the rules of the Prince's Mansion are also big, and those servants will definitely not dare to talk nonsense in front of Sister A........"
"What the hell is going on? Look at the one who embarrasses you. Emperor Zhou E said curiously.
"Alright then!" Zhou Wei made up her mind and said: "Actually, it's good that Sister already knew, at least she can be prepared in her heart." ”
Emperor Zhou E smiled: "Oh, Sister I want to hear it, what shocking news it is, it will make my little sister so like a great enemy." ”
Zhou Wei glanced at Emperor Zhou E before he muttered: "Little sister heard rumors outside that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty has indicated that he wants the two of us sisters to complete the marriage between the Song and Tang dynasties together in front of the envoys of the whole world. ”
"........" As a princess of the first dynasty, even if she has never eaten pork, she has seen a pig run, and she is still politically sensitive. What's more, she has also personally participated in a lot of the drama of Gong Dou, and the countless beauties in the prince's mansion are enough to train her in this aspect.
"Sister, are you alright?" Feeling that Zhou Ehuang's soft body was shaking, Zhou Wei hurriedly supported her and went to sit in the gazebo in the garden.
"Really?" Emperor Zhou E, who had recovered from a burst of dizziness, hurriedly asked.
Zhou Wei nodded and confirmed: "It's the news that Elder Li brought back, because he has dealings with the merchants of the Song Dynasty, so this matter should be certain." ”
Emperor Zhou E sighed lightly and said: "No wonder, the day before yesterday, my husband was urgently recruited into the palace, but he has not returned yet, presumably my father has already reported this matter to the imperial court." ”
Zhou Wei also sighed lightly and said: "Well, Daddy didn't return overnight yesterday, and the family was worried, so I asked my little sister to come to Sister's news to inquire about it, and now it seems that ........ Most of the time it's because of this. ”
After the panic, Zhou Ehuang began to think about the seriousness of this matter. Since the emperor of the Song court has spoken, it means that the matter is already a fait accompli. In order to avoid a war between the Song and Tang dynasties, the only way to dedicate himself to the Song court was to dedicate himself to the Song court.
But if this is the case, where will the face of the imperial court remain? What is the face of the crown prince Li Yu?
Since ancient times, there have been many disasters and waters, and it seems that even if he doesn't want to become a disaster for the people of the Song and Tang Dynasties this time, it is impossible.
There may be another way, but how can I give up my young son who is still waiting in swaddling clothes, and how can I give up my little sister and older parents.
"Sister........?" Seeing Emperor Zhou E's sluggish expression, Zhou Wei hurriedly shook Emperor Zhou E's body and said, "Sister, are you okay?" ”
Hearing Zhou Wei's anxious call, Emperor Zhou E came back to his senses, stroked the hair on Zhou Wei's forehead with a slightly trembling jade hand, and said with a sad smile: "Sister is fine." ”
Zhou Wei felt a little frightened, and said in a trembling voice, "Sister........ Don't lie to me, I heard them say that if our dynasty refuses this marriage, there is a very high possibility of war between the Song and Tang dynasties........ Now they all say that Sister A, you are a red face and a trouble, and they also say........ He also said that only when you are gone can this matter be resolved, which can not only save our Li Tang's face, but also give an explanation to Emperor Song Ting. ”
After Zhou Wei finished speaking in a trembling voice, tears were already flowing uncontrollably.
Emperor Zhou E showed a smile and comforted: "Okay, Wei'er, you have grown up, and you are still crying!" You see, you have a good face, you are crying! ”
"Sister!" Zhou Wei cried and shouted, and then plunged into Zhou Ehuang's arms.
Emperor Zhou E took her in his arms, just patted her jade back lightly with his hand, and did not say anything to dissuade her. Seeing that Zhou Wei was tired of crying, she had already begun to choke, and on her flower-like face, she showed a smile and said, "Do you like Song Ting's smell of sailing?" ”
Zhou Wei, who was still choking, looked up at Zhou Ehuang in confusion and shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”
In this era of blind marriage and dumb marriage, it is generally difficult for men and women to meet in front of the marriage cave. This doesn't matter to men, if you don't like it, you can go to find flowers and ask willows, or marry a few more concubines, and the mother-in-law is only used to pass on the ancestry.
But for women, it often means that the fate of this life has been doomed, so every girl before marriage can't help but fantasize about what kind of person her future lover will be, whether he is handsome, whether he is erudite, and whether he will love himself.
Zhou Wei is ten years old this year, although at this age, he is still a child in the next generation, but in this ancient time, at least he has reached the age where he can be a matchmaker. As long as it takes a few more years, when the body matures and becomes popular, you can get married.
So for his lover in the future, he must have thought about it countless times in his heart, but for a while, it was a little difficult to speak.
"Sister knows that he is very talented, and he is also a victorious general on the battlefield, the key is that he is the same age as you, so I think this will be a good family business. When you marry him in the future, my sister believes that you will live this life happily and healthily........"
"Sister, do you like to smell sail too?" Zhou Wei bit her red lips with silver teeth and said.
"What nonsense!" Emperor Zhou E lightly scratched Zhou Wei's nose with his finger and said: "Sister means that Song Ting's Wen Qihang is still a good person, and you are just a match for your little sister, this talented and beautiful woman, as long as you think about it, it makes people feel that they are a perfect match........
Oh, by the way, little sister, you just said that you also like it, do you already have him in your heart? ”
"Sister........" Zhou Wei was ashamed and did not follow.
Emperor Zhou E looked at Zhou Wei dotingly and said: "If you marry him in the future, don't resent him, live a good life with him, this matter has nothing to do with him." ”
"What do you mean? Sister! Zhou Wei always felt that there was something wrong with Sister A's tone of speech now, as if she was explaining what was going on.
"Sister is saying that you will marry Song Guo far away in the future, this one who has left his hometown must know how to serve your husband, don't make him angry, and have a child early........"
Zhou Wei pouted and said: "Sister, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty wants us two sisters to marry together, what about you?" Isn't it with the little sister? ”
"Nonsense, it is impossible for Sister A to marry Wen Qihang, and the court will not agree." Emperor Zhou E reprimanded.
"That little sister won't marry anymore, so I'll stay with my sister." Zhou Wei said happily.
"Really not married?" Zhou Ehuang said with a smile.
Zhou Wei squirmed: "........ The Song Kingdom is too far away, and the little sister is alone, I am afraid, if I am accompanied by my sister, at least I will not be lonely. ”
“........ You! Emperor Zhou E really smiled bitterly. But Zhou Wei is only a ten-year-old child after all, and she still knows a little bit about some things.
