Chapter 108: Choosing a Pony
In the palace of the Son of Heaven, the white jade paved floor tiles exude a soft color, the palace maid placed the incense just lit on the table, the rising green smoke did not look real, the young emperor and her were far away, and an insurmountable barrier was erected in the middle.
When did two close siblings start to suspect each other and be suspicious of each other? Maybe it was when the emperor divided the world equally with them, maybe it was when he bestowed the blessings of the beast god on the two, or maybe he should have expected this day to come back sooner or later as soon as he was born.
Emperor Jing saw Jun He standing down with half of his body bent, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly: "I haven't come here to visit me for a long time, the imperial sister and I don't need these false courtesies, hurry up!" ”
The eldest princess did not relax because of Emperor Jing's amnesty, she lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty is a king, a monarch and a minister, and you must not lose your courtesy if you are different from each other." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Jing's voice raised, obviously in a good mood, "When did the imperial sister and I become so estranged, what kind of etiquette do you and I still pay attention to, please hurry up." With that, he turned around and sat down on the gold-inlaid jade chair on the steps, and motioned for her to be flat for a long time.
Junhe disdains it in his heart, can he not be unfamiliar? As soon as he came in, he gave himself a dismount, and sent someone to follow him anytime and anywhere, no matter how close Rao is, he will be stung by these actions, not to mention that the two were still born in the emperor's house.
"Is the imperial sister still angry?" Emperor Jing spoke, although he said this, his tone was careless and tentative, "I promised the first emperor to take care of the imperial sister so anxiously to choose a good family for you....... The emperor of the Yan Kingdom is majestic and invincible, and he has not established a throne for ten years since the death of his former queen, and this time he must be very sincere in seeking the imperial sister, and I feel that I can rest assured that the imperial sister can be entrusted to him. It's just that I didn't expect the imperial sister to be so reluctant to run away and make a big fuss with the Queen Mother, hey, I didn't think it through. ”
Hearing this explanation, she sneered in her heart, the emperor of Yan is already over sixty years old, and he really did not set up another queen, everyone said that this is the emperor of Yan with deep affection, but according to the spies she sent to report, the queen died strangely back then, and after her death, her mother's clan also collapsed, who knows if there is an emperor's handwriting in it?
Moreover, in the past ten years, the old emperor has accepted dozens of concubines, including several robbed people's daughters, and it is only because the other party is the emperor that he buried these pickled things.
How could the Emperor of Yan be wrong? The world is all his, and he can do whatever he wants. How could Emperor Jing be wrong? All his motives were to consolidate imperial power. The only one who is wrong is himself, the military power in his own hands. The military power handed over to Junhe by the emperor was too great, so that Emperor Jing had to be jealous, but he was helpless.
If you get rid of Jun and the eldest princess, then the entire court will suspect him, and he will also be saddled with the name of killing his sister. On the contrary, if Junhe is married, it will not exist, and the queen who becomes the queen of another country will naturally hand over the military power back to Daqi.
The eldest princess raised her eyes slightly and looked at Emperor Jing carefully, the young emperor in front of her had already mastered the imperial skills of weighing the imperial court, he always had that compassionate and pure smile, but his heart had already turned black and stinky.
Her younger brother is accustomed to taking everything into his hands, spying, stalking, and probing, Jun He from the panic at the beginning to the indifference later, the emperor is growing up, and she is also getting stronger in her own way.
Who made them brothers and sisters?
Emperor Jing took the tea cup in the palace maid's hand and took a sip, "I heard that the imperial sister went to the Red Maple Temple every day today?" There was a hint of a smirk in his tone.
Heard? Naturally, she heard from the spies sent to spy on her. The eldest princess hid the indifference in her eyes, and slightly opened her lips and followed his words: "Back to Your Majesty, I heard that the Taoist view is effective, and the minister is just curious to take a look." ”
"The spirit?" Emperor Jing stopped what he was doing, and looked at her without blinking, trying to hear something from that mouth.
The eldest princess raised her head and looked directly at the person in front of her, didn't she even want to hide it, so arrogantly put the tracking and monitoring on the table! Since he exposed this matter, he didn't have to hide it, so he curled the corners of his lips and smiled from the bottom of his heart, "Naturally, it's spiritual." ”
Emperor Jing was slightly distracted, frowned for a long time, and then smiled unnaturally, "Very good, very good, a few days ago, the Queen Mother looked at several sons of the family for the imperial sister, and transferred a few extraordinary appearances and honest character to me, do you guess who the Queen Mother and I chose for the imperial sister?" ”
It seems that this has to be made for her to marry, Jun and the eldest princess deliberately frowned and said, "Why did Your Majesty and the Queen Mother start to look at their husbands for Jun and Jun again?" "It's not been long since Emperor Yan's matter, why can't you wait so much.
Emperor Jing pretended not to see her dissatisfaction, and said to himself, "It's the second son of Li Yuan and Li Aiqing's family, Li Chengan." After saying that, I looked like I knew everything.
Of course, Junhe knew that Emperor Jing had peeked at the conversation between the two on the wooden card, although it was written for him to see, but it was still unpleasant to say it so nakedly at this time. Before Jun He could speak, Emperor Jing said again, "I have already sent someone to check on him, that son is really good, talented and well-behaved, except for a little weaker body!" The imperial sister rejected Yan Guo's proposal a few days ago, I thought about it and it was really inappropriate, then Yan Guoshan is far away, if the imperial sister has suffered any grievances in the past and there is no one to support her, then how can it be good? ”
The eldest princess didn't bother to pay attention to his heartfelt words, he also knew that the mountains were high and the road was far away? He also knew that he had been wronged in the past? He also knew that even if he was wronged, no one would help him!
"So I thought about it, then it's better to find a worthy imperial sister in the imperial capital, right next to me. If he dares to bully the imperial sister, I will ask Jin Wuwei to arrest him and make the imperial sister angry! ”
"Imperial sister, an ordinary woman is married at the age of fourteen, and she will marry at fifteen or sixteen, and you will be twenty-two this year, and I will have three children, if my father Huang Quanxia learns about it, he will definitely blame me."
Jun He naturally understood his intentions, and it was a good idea to keep her under his nose and watch her. Emperor Jing will no longer let himself go alone, the military power in his hand has always been a thorn in his heart, piercing him from sleeping at night.
"Besides, the eldest lady of the Li family married the prime minister, and the third prince took the daughter of the Taifu, the imperial sister, and my position on the throne was not stable, so I am bound to get the support of the Li family!"
Junhe raised his eyebrows, and this person finally told the truth.
Li Chengan is undoubtedly a good chess piece, his two sisters and brothers have brought in the two most violent forces in the court, but he has no merit, is obedient and honest, and is still weak and sick, and he can't set off any waves. Besides, the spies have come to report, and the emperor personally went to find Li Chengan, and it is estimated that he has taken people under his command at this moment, and once they get married, the person next to the pillow can report her movements to the emperor anytime and anywhere.
However, when he heard that he was going to tie up Li Chengan and get angry, he smiled distractedly, and the spy said that he was very weak, so what should I do if I tie it up later?
"Imperial sister, I promised my father that I would make you the happiest princess of Daqi, you are good, I will be fine."
Jun He bowed his head and didn't say much, marrying such a useless sick embryo is equivalent to cutting off half of her arm, although he holds the power of the army, but there are horses beside him and monitoring him at any time, Taifu and the prime minister are guarding the country for him, Emperor Jing only needs to be responsible for sitting on the throne safely, and this arrangement is naturally reassuring.
Anyway, even if he doesn't marry Li Chengan, the emperor will persistently look for other men of the right age, just want to see what Li Chengan said about what the two of them look like in the world.
When she walked out of the palace, the coachman had been waiting by the palace gate for a long time, she raised her head and looked at the remnant sun in the sky, it was already sunset at this time, I don't know if Li Chengan was waiting for her there?
After wandering for a long time, the eldest princess finally decided to go to the red maple again to watch.
The bells on the carriage rang all the way, and the blood-red sunset sounded pleasantly, and she got out of the car and walked slowly to the backyard where she had come so many times.
I don't know why I have walked this road for so many years, but I don't dare to take it in stride at this time. What if that person isn't there? What if he lied to himself?
Walking through the brilliant red maple forest, Jun and Princess took a deep breath. Brushing aside the maple leaves blocking the front, he raised his head next to a small tree in the deepest part and saw a thin man in a light blue robe, who was sitting in a wheelchair frowning, looking at the prayer card in front of him and thinking about something.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, casting a thin layer of crimson on his pale complexion.
The eldest princess withdrew all the guards, and stood quietly alone, time seemed to have stopped, and the afterglow of the setting sun gently held the two of them together. It didn't take long for Li Chengan to finally discover the existence of someone beside him.
He raised his head, his nose was high and his lips were thin, his starry eyes were shining, and his pure eyes looked at him, and at that moment, the eldest princess felt that her face was a little hot, but her chest was beating so fast for some reason.
Li Chengan also saw the eldest princess, stretched her good-looking eyebrows, hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, "You're finally here, Miss Wanqing." ”
The eldest princess was stunned in place, and then she reacted, he... Have been waiting for yourself?
At this time, a little Taoist priest sweeping the fallen leaves passed by, frowned and said, "This donor has been here since the hour, and I have been waiting for five hours now, don't be late next time in the cold weather." ”
After the little Taoist priest left, Jun and the eldest princess stepped forward slowly and asked, "Why have you waited so long?" What if I don't come today? Li Chengan was a little gasping with joy, "If you don't come, you will continue to wait tomorrow until you come." ”
The eldest princess looked at him, and kept reminding herself in her heart that this was the emperor's person, and she couldn't believe it.
It's just that her body made a move first, took off the cloak on her body and covered it for him, Li Chengan's hands were cold and cold, Junhe was a little angry in his heart, and scolded him with great dissatisfaction, "Are you a fool?" ”
Who made him wait? Is the emperor's order so important, don't think that you will be tricked by the bitter meat trick!
Hearing Junhe scold himself like this, Li Chengan laughed even more and apologized again and again, "Yes, yes, I made a mistake......
Pushing Junhe in a wheelchair, the two walked slowly in the backyard, and the wild cranes in the mountains were singing with the remnant sun as beautiful and beautiful as a picture.
