Chapter 66: The Water of the Waves
In the early morning of September, with a little chill, the palace of Yingdu was full of red wedding clothes, and the temple maids were all smiling. At this time, everyone knew which princess was married, but the Queen Mother strictly ordered that this matter could not be spread outside, so she could only be secretly happy in her heart. After the sacrifice to the temple in the morning, Mi Qian, who was dressed in a happy dress, came to Ruoying Palace to say goodbye to the queen mother and the concubine.
She was born beautiful, and she looked even more graceful and luxurious when she wore a wedding dress, but unfortunately she had tears on her face. Concubine Zhao saw her as if she was seeing herself twenty years ago, and that time she also got married in a hurry and went to the country in a hurry.
"Queen Mother......" Seeing Concubine Zhao staring at her, her tears stopped, and she bowed to her.
Concubine Zhao pulled her up and said, "Qi'er, have you ever resented the queen mother in your heart?" ”
"I don't dare." Concubine Zhao's tears came down again, and she said seriously: "Brother Wang went to Chen Ying to fight with the Qin people regardless of life and death, and Qi'er is also the blood of the royal family, how can he sit back and watch the mother country and society die." When Qi'er arrived in Qin, he persuaded the king of Qin not to ......"
"Not really." Concubine Zhao hugged Mi Qian, "When you arrive in the Qin Kingdom, after marrying the King of Qin, you are the King of Qin, and you are no longer the princess of the mother country." You should not persuade the king of Qin, and if the king of Qin invades my mother country, do not persuade him. What you have to do is to think about King Qin everywhere. ”
"The Queen Mother?" Qi Qian looked at Concubine Zhao and didn't understand why she said this.
"Kou'er!" Concubine Zhao saw her doubts, so she had to reach out and stroke her belly, and whispered: "What you have to do is to give birth to an heir for King Qin, and then help him become king." When you become the empress dowager of Qin, it is when you think of your mother country. ”
Concubine Zhao's advice made Mi Qian stunned, and before she could fully react, Concubine Zhao said again: "The Empress Dowager Zu will help you, and Mi Xuan, she will marry the King of Qin as a concubine, she will also help you, and Changping Jun Changwenjun, they will also help you." ”
"Got it." Concubine Zhao's hands are hot, she is talking about men and women, but it is also a matter of survival in the mother country.
"Go and ...... with your mother" Concubine Zhao also shed tears, turned sideways and gave the miara to the poor Concubine Yue, who was looking at her.
"Mother!" There is still some etiquette to Concubine Zhao, as soon as she saw her mother, Mi Qian almost threw herself into her arms, and then the mother and daughter cried, and a group of palace maids couldn't help crying. It wasn't until the maid outside the hall shouted that the auspicious time had arrived, and the mother and daughter held hands and cried and parted. At this time, all the important ministers came to see him off, and Zhao Huang sighed: "If the king knows about this, he will be furious. ”
"If the king knows, the old woman should be guilty." Concubine Zhao wiped away her tears, so relatively.
"Queen Mother, the Qin people have no faith, if the princess enters Qin and does not retreat......" Lu Yangjun also learned about this early this morning. He knew that the kings of all countries smelled beautiful and asked for relatives, including King Qi, who had just become the father-in-law of the king, who would have expected that she would still marry the king of Qin.
"Whether you believe it or not, you always need to try." Concubine Zhao couldn't tell the ministers the ultimate goal of marrying into the Qin State, so she could only prevaricate like this.
"When the auspicious time comes, please the princess board the boat." The servant shouted again. In order to hide the king, the wedding convoy went out of the city before the morning, and went on the boat at the Huaishui wharf.
Concubine Zhao took Concubine Yue and the ministers all the way to the canal, and the Mi Qian who got on the boat cried while worshipping at the head of the boat, and finally the boat went out of the royal city, and everyone was covered by green willows, so she got up to wipe her tears and entered the cabin with the support of the maid. The boat sailed out of the royal city into Feishui, looking at the tall city wall of Shouying on top of Feishui, thinking that he could never return to this place in this life, Mi Qian cried again. For some reason, she suddenly wiped her tears and struck Zhu, looking at the fat water outside the boat and muttering: "
The water of the waves is clear, and you can wet me.
The water of the waves is turbid, and it can wet my feet......"
*
"Father, father, I don't want to marry the king, I don't want to marry the king......" is the same as marrying, Mi Qian is at ease with the situation, but Mi Xuan is unwilling to accept his fate. Knowing that she was going to marry the king, she first cried at the Empress Dowager Zu, the Empress Dowager Zu was gone, and then made trouble with her grandfather Michang, crying and crying for several days, and the whole Mifu was disturbed by her.
"Xuan'er." Mi Chang looked at this granddaughter a little helplessly, she had been spoiled by the Empress Dowager since she was a child. "Do you know that your father and several uncles are all unknighted, if you don't marry the king, this family, the eldest father, the new city king, will be taken in by the king in your father's generation. Your father has not treated you lightly, nor has your father treated you poorly, and even though you are a son-in-law, the people up and down the house have not treated you poorly......"
"Xuan'er," Mi Ping stood beside his father, looking at his daughter helplessly, "What's wrong with marrying King Qin?" You are a son-in-law, not a princess of any country, and it is a great fortune to be a concubine. Besides, the queen is Mi Qian, and she ...... with you."
"Xuan'er, don't! Xuan'er don't ......" Mi Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, cried even louder, and the more her father and father forced her, the more she missed Xiong Jing, thinking about how he refused to marry Mi Xuan into the Qin State that day. Thinking about it, she suddenly stood up and said angrily in Xiong Jing's tone: "Why should the title you wait for be built on the basis of me marrying into the Qin Palace?" ”
is obviously a woman who doesn't understand the world, and suddenly spit out this kind of question, Mi Ping was immediately stunned, and couldn't answer at all, but Mi Chang was surprised and said: "Father is expensive with daughter, and the world is like this." ”
"Father!" Mi Xuan began to wipe away tears. "The will of the great king is to destroy the six kingdoms in one day. When today, the only people who can be enemies with Qin are Chu and Zhao. If the king destroys Zhao, he will destroy Chu, if the king destroys Chu, Uncle Ji will definitely go to work, and his father Uncle Zhong will also go to work. I married into the Qin Palace as a concubine, and it was not a good family, but it was also a real harm to the family. ”
"Huh?!" Mi Chang almost jumped out of his chair. He stopped Mi Ping, who was about to reprimand his daughter, and asked, "Who taught this?" Who taught this? Come on. ”
"It's the king." The tears on Mi Xuan's face had not yet dried, and she actually smiled at this time. "It's the king of the mother country."
"How can I believe the words of the boy, my father ......" Mi Ping was startled when he heard the king, he thought it was the king of Qin, but who knew that it was the king of Chu.
"Father." Mi Xuan didn't care about his father, he only looked at Mi Chang. "In my mother country, I have been persuading Brother Wang to allow Sister Qi to marry into the Qin Palace, but Brother Wang said: 'After the Empress Dowager Zu lives, the King of Qin will destroy Chu, and once Chu is attacked, you and other Chu relatives will definitely enter the cold palace. I will never give in, as long as I don't give in, Chu and Qin will continue to fight, and it will be difficult for you to climb out of the cold palace and be reused by King Qin.
However, the king will not kill you, he will protect you well, and then use it when the time is right. Only when the last Chu pawn dies in battle, and then I die, can you return to the heart of power. You are Chu people, and the queen is also Chu people, and setting up a prince who is a Chu girl will help Qin to pacify the last resistance of Chu......"
On that day, Xiong Jing said these words with great momentum, and Mi Xuan remembered it vividly. She recounted it all like this, and Mi Ping was just it, and Mi Chang listened seriously. Of course, he knew the reason why the Empress Dowager Zu had to marry the princess of the mother country, not only for the sake of the mother country, but also for the power of the Chu relatives in the Qin country.
But the unborn king of the mother country not only said it, but also had a completely different view: he believed that marrying a princess could not preserve the society of the mother country, nor could it continue the power of the Chu family. Because the destruction of Chu will cause the Chu relatives to lose power.
"Father, the words of the boy are not credible." After Mi Ping finished speaking, he glared at his daughter again: "Who made you talk so vainly?" Since ancient times, marriage has been based on the order of your parents, how can you not want to marry if you don't want to marry! ”
Mi Rong, Mi Chang, and Mi Ping, the more mediocre they are, and the more short-sighted they are. Mi Xuan was born to Zhao Nu, but Zhao Nu is just a concubine, and she has not been loved by Mi Ping since she was a child. The strange thing is that in Xiong Jing's place, Mi Xuan can get the love of a father. What she understands better is that a man like Xiong Jing would never marry his daughter to a powerful person for the sake of a title like his father, just as he would not marry Mi Qian into the Qin Palace for peace.
For the first time in his life, he felt disgusted by his father, and Mi Xuan turned his face away: "I just don't marry." Brother Wang has promised to marry me as his queen. ”
"Huh?!" The father and son spoke in unison, and Mi Chang even grabbed his grandson, stared at her and said, "What do you say?" ”
"Brother Wang has promised that he will marry me as his queen in the future." Mi Xuan didn't look at his father, but only looked at his grandfather Mi Chang, and his voice was a little louder.
"Ahh Qi Ping said angrily, "How can you talk such nonsense!" "Raise your hand to hit your daughter.
"Stop!" Mi Chang drank a sentence, because he drank too quickly, and he coughed a few times. "Sit, sit down....... Xuan'er, don't deceive your father. ”
"How dare Xuan'er deceive the eldest father." Mi Xuan said aggrievedly. "Brother Wang...... Brother Wang said it to me several times, and asked me to call him king. The historians of the mother country, the servants of the temple, all know that the king ...... me."
"Father, the same surname is not married, the same surname is not married! This, this ......, this beast too! Mi Ping made a gesture and wanted to fight again.
"Xuan'er, the king of the mother country has married the Qi country, and he wants to marry the princess of the Qi country." Mi Chang talked about it. "And the king of the mother country is not a deception?"
"It's not." Mi Xuan shook his head, "The king once told me that the queen mother likes Zhao Nu, and he is afraid that he will marry Zhao Nu in the future, he can't disobey his mother's wishes, so he has to agree, however, just agree, in the future, I will still be the queen, and I am afraid that marrying the princess of Qi will be the same." ”
"But ...... your age, what king doesn't love much? When he is crowned, you are old, and you have the same surname. "Mi Chang now believes in Mi Xuan, but age and surname are obstacles, especially age.
"The king said, he only loves Xuan'er......" Mi Xuan blushed, and the words between lovers made her embarrassed to say them in public. Not marrying with the same surname is just a nonsense of the Zhou people, and they can be married three generations apart. ”
"Father, you can step down." Mi Chang waved his hand to let Mi Xuan retreat, and seeing that Mi Xuan was unwilling, he waved his hand again: "Stand down." ”
"Father, you must not ......" As soon as the daughter left, Mi Ping persuaded her.
"Servant!" Mi Chang slapped his son on the head, and Mi Ping was immediately stunned. "How many times for the benefit of the concubine, and how many times for the benefit of the future? After the Empress Dowager Zu, if the king really destroys Chu, our Mi family will rely on Xuan'er. After saying this, Mi Chang got up and said, "I'll go to see the Empress Dowager." Remember! This is a matter of great concern. ”
