Chapter 117: Marriage (I)
Back in his palace, the little happiness that Han Yi and Chun Yujing had together suddenly disappeared without a trace.
In the palace of Qi State, there are strict rules for every smile and smile, and if you commit a little crime, you will be punished.
Before, Han Yi didn't think much of it, after all, almost everyone in the palace was like this. Even, she is much freer than some palace concubines.
However, now there is one more Chun Yujing, and he has told her too many interesting things. Her heart finally began to be unfettered.
"I don't know when I'll be able to escape from this alchemy furnace......"
Glancing at the resplendent palace, Han Yi once again couldn't help but think of the lawless monkey.
"Your Highness the Princess."
Just when Han Yi felt sorry for himself, a voice sounded at the gate of the palace.
"What?" Han Yi put away his thoughts, put on the same expression as before, and asked.
"The prince has invited Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Father?" Han Yi blinked, a little puzzled.
Now, many things in the Qi Kingdom have been handed over to Han Huai to deal with, although there are old ministers to assist, but there is not much time.
As far as this year is concerned, almost four-fifths of the time has passed, and the number of times Han Yi has seen his father is only a handful.
Although I was puzzled, I was more happy.
Anyway, this Han Huai is still her father after all. can also give her a little, a trace of family affection that is not common in this palace.
The carriages and horses were not fast, but after all, they were all in the palace, but in a moment, Han Yi had already arrived in front of the palace where the prince lived.
"Your Highness, Princess Yi has arrived."
Outside the palace, Han Yi respectfully waited for the eunuch to report to Han Huai.
"Come in!" In the palace, Han Huai's voice came. Sounds like a little excited.
This also made Han Yi, who was a little uneasy, feel a trace of warmth in his heart.
As a father, I still care about her very much.
"The daughter has seen her father." Han Yi saluted, and his beautiful face made several strategists in their thirties in front of the prince look sideways.
It's a pity that when they think of the person Han Yi is about to marry, they can only shake their heads and sigh.
The appearance of these people, the crown prince Han Huai, who was sitting at the top, also saw it.
With a look of satisfaction, Han Huai smiled and said, "Yi'er, you're not too young, aren't you?" ”
Han Yi, who was still a little complacent in his heart, suddenly had a hint of ominous premonition.
"Well, my daughter is almost seventeen."
"Time flies so fast......," Han Huai said with some emotion, "In a blink of an eye, you little girl has also reached the age of marriage." ”
As soon as Han Huai's words were finished, the original warm current in Han Yi's heart suddenly became a little bone-chilling.
"I'm going to get married after all......" Han Yi couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart.
If it had been ten days ago, Han Yi who learned that she was married might not have had much reaction, but after staying with Chunyu for so many days, her personality has also changed a lot.
is different from Chun Yujing, those fairy tales, although Chun Yujing listens to them, are full of loopholes. However, for Han Yi, who is not deeply involved in the world, it is extraordinarily beautiful.
However, reality is still reality after all, and stories are still stories.
Han Yi was very clever and did not choose to answer, but silently waited for Han Huai's arrangement.
"My father has issued an edict to marry you to the seven princes of Chu State, people, I have already seen it for my father, and he is a young talent. What do you think? ”
Han Yi lowered his head and replied softly, "Everything is up to my father." ”
"Hmm." Han Huai stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
For this outstanding-looking and obedient daughter, Han Huai still likes it very much.
Although it was a little sad to marry her to the Chu Kingdom, he obviously gained more than what he lost.
Moreover, a daughter is just a daughter after all. Even if it is a concubine, it is not as good as the status of a concubine after he ascended the throne.
"The father's letter has arrived in Shouchun, and the Chu envoy has also arrived. You should also prepare well. ”
"Whoa." Han Yi still lowered his head and held back his tears from falling out.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Han Huai had nothing else to instruct, Han Yi knew that it was time for her to leave.
"My daughter quit."
"Hmm." Han Huai replied lightly, and then there was no other sound.
……
Compared with Chun Yujing, who wanted to make life pass faster and leave the palace as soon as possible, Xia Huan in the post house wished that time would pass more slowly.
In three days, it will be the grand court meeting of the Qi country. When the time comes, when the two countries read their credentials, everything will be ironclad.
Unless Xia Huan dies, he will definitely not be able to retreat.
Unlike ordinary women, royal women, once married, cannot return unless they are divorced.
Once you return, it means that the retirement has arrived.
And this simple letter of resignation also means that the already fragile peace will be completely torn apart.
Now, although the credentials of the State of Qi have been sent to the State of Chu, if they are rounded up, the State of Chu is still qualified to refuse.
In this way, although Qi Guo is not very good-looking, it is not unacceptable.
It's a pity that Xia Huan is now in Linzi, and the only thing he can count on is Prime Minister Kuaimu.
But Kuai Mu called himself sick and didn't give Xia Huan a chance at all.
No matter how Xia Huan runs around, time will not stop for a moment.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
And on this day, although Xia Huan was the nominal envoy of Chu, since the imperial historian Gu Xin came, he became a deputy envoy.
It stands to reason that you can't meet Emperor Qi in person.
Of course, Xia Huan, as the prince of Chu, can also enter the court. It's just that this layer of identity is not only useless, but it will completely disgrace Qi Chu.
The national policy of decision-making between the kings of the two countries was rejected by a prince who did not reach the crown.
Whether it is the State of Qi or the State of Chu, they will lose face.
Therefore, when Gu Xin left the post house early in the morning, Xia Huan knew that everything was a foregone conclusion.
"Your Highness, it's time for breakfast."
Sun Qian has come in for the third time, but Xia Huan still waved his hand.
At this time, it has already passed, and it will not take an hour for news to come.
However, how long has it been in the United States, but Sun Qian has gone and returned again.
"Your Highness......"
As soon as Sun Qian opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Xia Huan.
"You go down first, let me be quiet."
"No, Your Highness, Miss Chunyu is here."
If it was before, maybe Xia Huan would have been very happy to hear the news, but at this time, Xia Huan didn't know how to face her.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Sun Qian waited for a while, but seeing that Xia Huan still didn't react, he couldn't help but remind him softly.
"Go and bring her." Xia Huan sighed lightly and said, knowing in his heart that he couldn't hide.
