Chapter Twenty-Eight: Family Affair Reversal
"Nonsense, where is the palace maid in charge? How could the princess run to the palace? Chu Huangwei shouted.
Princess Huaiyu was already crying at this time, and walked to the middle of the hall, knelt on the ground, and said, "Father, don't you want to Huaiyu?" Are you going to drive Huaiyu away? ”
Emperor Chu didn't dare to look directly into Su Huaiyu's eyes, he loved this daughter for a long time, and couldn't help but because she was his first daughter, and because she had taken more care of her since she was a child.
"Your Majesty, Huaiyu is still young, and his body is delicate, how can Huaiyu stand it when he goes to Wusu thousands of miles away?" The queen said earnestly.
"Please also ask the emperor to think twice." His Highness said this.
Emperor Chu raised his eyes and looked at it, it was actually summer, and he couldn't help frowning.
"Presumptuous, there is no place for you to speak." Princess Dingguo roared angrily.
Xia Yi ignored it, just knelt deep on the ground, and kept saying: "Please ask the emperor to think twice." ”
Seeing Xia Yi interceding for himself, Su Huaiyu couldn't cry anymore.
"The marriage between the two countries is a good thing, don't you think about Da Chu one by one?" The prince suddenly said sharply.
Everyone in the court did not go to accept the peace, and they all understood that the prince was eager to unite with Wusu to consolidate his position.
"You are Princess Huaiyu? To be the queen of our Usu is still crying. Princess Zhuo Yi said sideways to Su Huaiyu on the side.
Su Huaiyu was unwilling, raised his head and shouted: "Who is rare to be your queen." You Tartars of the Western Regions. ”
"What did you say?" Zhuo Yi was about to rush over as he spoke, but was grabbed by Yi Zhi. After appeasing for a while, he said to Su Huaiyu: "Princess Xu has made any mistake about Wusu, although Wusu is not as good as Dachu is a state of etiquette, but she has always followed the rule of etiquette. The princess is the golden branch and jade leaf of Da Chu, who has been taught to bathe since she was a child, and I believe that our marriage will definitely bring more benefits to the two countries. ”
Su Huaiyu couldn't listen to it at all, and kept crying.
"Brother, I think you should choose another princess, this princess looks weak and crying, Zhuo Yi doesn't like it." Princess Zhuo Yi said with disgust on her face.
Su Huaijin stood up from among the courtiers and said: "Father, as the queen mother said, Huaiyu has been weak since he was a child, and he is not good in Chu City, let alone to be a monk
When it comes to Wusu, I have heard that Wusu is hot in summer and cold in winter, and I am afraid that Huaiyu will humiliate his mission and cannot contribute to the friendship between the two countries. If the future queen of Wusu must be a princess, there are still two princesses in the palace, Dieyu and Yinyu. ”
"Yes, yes. Huaiyu has been weak since childhood, and we still have Dieyu and Hidden Jade Princesses. The queen seemed to grasp a hint of life-saving straw and said hurriedly.
"Third brother, Wusu came thousands of miles to ask for marriage, this is great sincerity, our Da Chu is a state of etiquette, so we naturally want to give back the greatest sincerity, Huaiyu is the most favored princess of my father, and she is also the biggest princess, so she should be the only candidate for harmony." The prince added fuel to the fire.
"Brother Prince, Huaiyu has been weak since childhood, how can he withstand thousands of miles of turbulence?" Su Huaijin really felt sorry for this sister and followed the path.
"Third brother, the three princesses are our brother's own sisters, Huaiyu is delicate, are the other two sisters inferior by half a point?" The prince is colorful.
Su Huaijin clenched his fists but couldn't attack, who called the other party the prince.
"Prince, the other two princesses have been in good health since childhood, and they are both the emperor's beloved princesses, so you don't have to be just Huaiyu with your relatives, right?" The queen made a final plea.
"Are those two princesses also the daughters of the queen mother?" Zhuo Yi asked.
The queen calmed down and said, "Dieyu is the daughter of Shufei Xiao, and Yinyu is the daughter of Concubine Zhao, but they are all the same as the daughters of the palace. Moreover, there is only a year difference between Dieyu and Yinyu and Huaiyu, and both of them are also smart and lovely, and they are physically strong. ”
"It's the same as Niangniang's own daughter? Zhuo Yi didn't look like it, Niangniang was reluctant to let Princess Huaiyu go, but she packed the other two princesses and sent them. Since they are either the daughters of the mother or the concubines, don't you say that there is a difference between the concubines in your Central Plains? Our future queen of Wusu must be a princess of noble blood. Besides, my brother rejected Princess Rannunalu's proposal and insisted on marrying the princess of your Chu Kingdom. Could it be that in the end, the state of Chu is going to send us with a princess? ”
"You, the emperor, please think twice." The queen was so angry that she could only bet the last bargaining chip on the emperor.
Emperor Chu glanced at His Royal Highness, and there was no one available in this huge court, only King Guangliang was brave and good at fighting, but the far water could not save the near fire. According to the rules of Rannu, both the eldest son and the eldest daughter must inherit the throne according to the eldest and youngest, so Princess Naru is the next King of Rannu. And Yizhi's rejection of Princess Nalu's insistence on marrying the princess of Chu is the greatest loyalty to Da Chu, and it is also a powerful chess piece for Da Chu to protect himself.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chu said: "Prince Yizhi came from thousands of miles to ask for marriage, and I was very moved. And if the two of you get married and become a good couple, you will have two surnames and one family, and it is appropriate for the country and IKEA. I also hope that the red rope will be tied as soon as possible, and I hope that the auspicious auspicious omen between the two countries will be eternal, and after Kechangque, Dun will be quiet for a hundred years. ”
The Wusu envoy knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor." Wusuen felt Da Chu and swore to tie the robe with Da Chu, sharing blessings and misfortunes. ”
In this way, there is no room for people to refute and plead. The queen bowed her head and closed her eyes tightly, for fear that she would not be able to restrain herself. Su Huaijin wanted to say something more, but finally opened his mouth and didn't say anything. Only Su Huaiyu was still crying in the court.
At this time, Xia Chuxin in the side hall couldn't bear it anymore, so he paced to the hall, bowed to the emperor and queen, and said: "The courtiers knock to see the emperor, the queen." The courtiers were rude and went to the temple without permission. ”
As soon as she saw Xia Chuxin, Su Huaiyu threw herself into her arms and cried: "Sister Chuxin, my father doesn't want me anymore, Sister Chuxin, save Huaiyu." ”
Emperor Chu was hindered by the big face, and said, "Since you are here with the princess, bring the princess back now." ”
Xia Chuxin picked up Su Huaiyu, bowed to Prince Yizhi beside him, and said, "The courtiers don't know whether to say it or not. ”
"You say." Chu Huang Road.
After a while, Xia Chuxin said: "Prince Yizhi said that Wusu has been following the rule of etiquette in recent years, so it must be married with etiquette. My Dachu has a vast territory and a long history, although I am now concentrating on Anguo, but I also have troops in all directions and cannot be underestimated by other countries, but I have never heard of a princess who secretly married in a hurry over the years. If such a thing is spread, where will we be in the face? In our Central Plains, women can only be married through the media at the age of fifteen. Moreover, the marriage between the two countries must create a momentum within the four seas, especially the countries such as Rannu, and acting in a hurry can only make people mistakenly believe that our country is not prosperous and cannot be managed. Yu Dachu and Yu Wusu are all harms but no benefits. It's better to let this out of the wind in advance, and then prepare properly, and when the princess arrives, Wusu will come to marry. In the middle of the years, the surrounding countries will not dare to act rashly on the grounds of the marriage of the two countries, since ancient times, the martial arts have fought the great civil rule for all generations, this truth is probably more transparent than the courtiers, I believe that Wusu's move will be able to win the reputation of the country of etiquette, standing in the fourteen countries of the Western Regions. Why not kill two birds with one stone? ”
A remark turned the limelight in the hall. Prince Yizhi keeps repeating that Wusu rules the country with etiquette, but he wants to forcibly marry the young princess, isn't this a slap in the face? Moreover, although Great Chu is not as strong as before, it is also a country with a long history in the Central Plains, so how can a small border country be allowed to lead the way. Wusu was worried about rejecting the marriage of Rannu, and was eager to ask the state of Chu to stabilize himself, but it was better to stretch the battle line once and for all. Everything needs to be discussed by the princess and Yi, there are still two years, two years, enough to plan a lot of things, although this marriage cannot be postponed, but it also buys Huaiyu a lot of time.
That Prince Yizhi is also a smart person, and without waiting for Emperor Chu to speak, he said: "Yizhi is not careful, he is not thoughtful, the princess is the body of a daughter, and she should be ready for everything to get married again." This young lady spoke clearly, and Yi Zhi was taught. ”
As he spoke, Yi Zhi shallow to Xia Chuxin, his face full of modesty.
Princess Zhuo Yi poked her head out and looked at Xia Chuxin, and suddenly said: "Brother, I think this young lady is straightforward and a little bold, why don't you marry her back to Wusu together." ”
Everyone was stunned, this Princess Wusu was really straightforward.
"The original heart was from a humble background, and I really didn't dare to climb high. Besides, Wusu came this time to ask for the princess. ”
"Miss Chuxin doesn't have to be nervous, Zhuo Yi is a joke." Izhi cleared the siege.
Zhuo Yi didn't give up, and said, "I'm not joking. In my opinion, this young lady is much better than the delicate princess, although she looks a little uglier. ”
Xia Chuxin almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat your background, Lao Tzu would have killed you now, and he would have scratched your face, hum.
Yi Zhi turned his head and shook his head at Zhuo Yi, and Zhuo Yi gave up.
"Huh. Miss Chuxin, don't mind. Yi Zhiyan said with a smile.
Xia Chuxin returned the salute, but felt the hypocrisy that came to his face. This merciful prince is no good man.
Emperor Chu's face was slightly relieved, and he said, "Hahaha." Good, good, good. The original intention is good. That being the case, Prince Yizhi and Princess Zhuo Yi stayed first, and during these few days in Beijing, I was accompanied by my sons to take a good look at the grand occasion of our Great Chu. During the period, the auspicious day was measured by the Taibu Order, and the divination coincided, and the covenant of the two years was set. ”
Xia Chuxin looked up at the palace, and it was the gratitude of the Emperor and the Empress of Chu. Looking at Su Huaiyu beside him, he was also excited. Suddenly, I felt that my existence had some meaning.
"This young lady's name is Chuxin?" Prince Ichi asked.
"This is the second lady of the Mansion of Princess Dingguo, the eldest princess of Da Chu, Xia Chuxin. is also like my daughter, and has a very good personal relationship with Huaiyu. Emperor Chu said with a smile, and his mood improved in an instant.
Yi Zhi glanced at Xia Chuxin quite meaningfully, still full of humility, and said: "Although Miss Xia Er is young, she has excellent talents, which makes Yi Zhi very taught. ”
"Thank you, Prince, for your praise. The original intention is not talented, not half of the others in Da Chu, and today it is just telling the truth. Xia Chuxin said extremely modestly, but he raised Da Chu a lot invisibly.
Among the courtiers, there was a lot of discussion, and many people praised the second lady of the princess's mansion. Princess Dingguo's face did not change, but she raised her head a lot.
"Yang Yan, drive the Fangyuan Pavilion, pass the meal." Emperor Chu commanded.
The palace people on the side received the order and shouted: "Swing the Fangyuan Pavilion." ”
