Chapter 236: Concubine Shu

Emperor Yun's hand to help Empress Chu froze in mid-air, listening to Empress Chu's words, his heart was also very complicated.

In fact, since ancient times, marriages between the two countries have also been common, but in this case, the most difficult thing is the relationship between Chu Yun and Dongyang Kingdom.

The queen is right, sooner or later there will be a war between the two countries, if Yan'er is really married, once there is a war in the future, Yan'er will undoubtedly fall into a desperate situation.

However, even if there is to be a war, it must be justified, and this war must not be launched by Chu Yunguo first. Once the marriage is refused, the relationship between the two countries will be pushed farther away, and then I am afraid that the Dongyang Congress will take this opportunity to make trouble and deliberately trap Chu Yunguo in an unrighteous place.

"Queen, I understand your feelings as a mother, but in this situation, if Dongyang Kingdom really sends a letter of state, I really have no way to refuse."

What's more, if it is really because of this incident that the two countries go to war, then Yan'er is afraid that he will still become a sinner in the mouth of the people.

"Then take advantage of the fact that Chu Yunguo's national letter has not yet been delivered, and give Yan'er's marriage first. As long as Yan'er is given a marriage first, even if the people of Dongyang Kingdom intend to marry, there is naturally nothing to do. Empress Chu immediately spoke.

"Queen, this matter is not as simple as you think." Emperor Yun frowned, "Today, at the banquet, Nangong Sheng simply caught us off guard, he has taken the lead in proposing the marriage, if Yan'er is suddenly married now, it will undoubtedly be a loss of face for Prince Dongyang, if it is used by someone with a heart, it will inevitably have an impact on the relationship between the two countries." ”

"Your Majesty, even if you lose the face of Prince Dongyang, what can you do, it's better than refusing to marry after the letter of state arrives. Or have you actually thought in your heart, if you really have no way to do it, then you have to send Yan'er to get married? ”

"Queen!" Emperor Yun's voice was a little heavier, "After all, I am the emperor, and I must be thoughtful in doing things, and I can't be reckless." ”

"But ......"

Queen Chu still wanted to speak, and Hongfeng on the side saw that the form was wrong, so she hurriedly stopped her.

"Queen Mother, you better get up first, and talk about this matter later."

Hongfeng stepped forward to support Queen Chu and secretly tugged on Queen Chu's sleeve.

Empress Chu glanced at Emperor Yun, and knew that if she continued to speak, she was afraid that she would displease Emperor Yun, so she gritted her teeth and swallowed the words in her heart.

And Emperor Yun was also troubled at the moment, he didn't stay in Zhong Cui Palace for long, and soon returned to the imperial study.

"Niangniang, in that situation just now, if you continue to speak, I'm afraid that you will annoy the emperor."

After Emperor Yun left, Hongfeng helped Empress Chu to sit down on the chair beside her.

"The slave also knows that Niangniang is worried, but after all, this matter is related to the relationship between the two countries, and the emperor will definitely have more things to consider, and you must not have any conflicts with the emperor at this juncture, if you really annoy the emperor, it will be unfavorable to the eldest princess."

Empress Chu looked at Hong Feng, "This palace also knows that in fact, I shouldn't have opened my mouth like that just now, but I really can't rest assured in my heart." So many things have happened before, and seeing that it has only been a few days since Ansheng, I didn't expect that such a thing would suddenly happen now. If it is an ordinary person who asks to marry, it is fine, but after all, the other party is the prince of Dongyang, and the palace is really afraid that the emperor will sacrifice Yan'er because of the relationship between the two countries. ”

"Niangniang, don't worry too much, the emperor also loves the eldest princess sincerely, and the slave and maid should not agree to let the eldest princess get married."

Empress Chu sighed, "I hope it can be as you say." ”

Since ancient times, once the princesses of the royal family get married, there are really not many good endings.

Even if Chu Yun is put aside, and the relationship between Dongyang Kingdom, once they get married, it means that they will be uprooted from their homeland, far away from their homeland, and they will be lonely and lonely in other countries, how can he bear to let Yan'er go on such a day!

In the next two days, I don't know if it was because of Queen Chu's words, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, or because I was really busy with government affairs, and Emperor Yun didn't come to Zhongcui Palace again.

In the imperial study, Emperor Yun finished handling government affairs, and seeing that it was getting late, he hesitated, but was still ready to rest in the imperial study.

And at this time, the little eunuch walked in from outside the door to report that Concubine Shu had arrived.

"It's so late, why are you here?" Emperor Yun looked at Concubine Shu and spoke.

Concubine Shu put the bird's nest porridge in her hand on the table next to her, "The concubine heard that the emperor has been busy with government affairs these days, and he has been resting in the imperial study for two consecutive nights, and the concubine is really distressed in her heart, so she made bird's nest porridge by herself." Originally, the concubine wanted to come earlier, but she was afraid of disturbing the emperor's handling of government affairs, so she waited until this time to come. ”

"The concubine has a heart." Emperor Yun nodded, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "There have been a lot of things in the past few days, and the Dongyang envoy is here again, so I'm a little busy." ”

"Although state affairs are important, but the emperor, you still have to pay attention to your body, after all, you are the king of a country, if your body is tired, then you let the courtiers and the concubines in our harem, what should I do." Concubine Shu walked behind Emperor Yun and stretched out her hand to start massaging him, "What's more, the concubine heard that now the crown prince can also help the emperor deal with government affairs, if there is really something, you might as well hand over some more to the prince to do, so that you can also have a good rest." ”

Listening to Concubine Shu's words, Emperor Yun felt a lot relieved.

"It's rare, the prince beat your brother before, and I thought you weren't happy in your heart now."

Concubine Shu hurriedly spoke, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Although the concubine loved her younger brother, the previous thing was ...... To be honest, the concubine was indeed a little unhappy in her heart. However, the concubine also understands that the concubine's younger brother who happened last time was also at fault. What's more, instead of being angry about those little things, the concubines naturally value the emperor's health more. Which is more important, how can the concubines not be able to tell the difference. ”

Emperor Yun sighed, reached out and patted the back of Concubine Shu's hand, "You still know the general situation." ”

Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows, and deliberately pretended to be concerned: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, the concubine looks at you, it seems that it is not just because of the fatigue of government affairs, is there something else to worry about?" ”

"It's not because of the fact that the prince of Dongyang asked to marry Yan'er, the queen didn't want Yan'er to marry, and she was telling me all the time before, she must not be able to agree."

Concubine Shu sneered in her heart, she really guessed right, there were indeed a few suspicions between the emperor and the queen. And this is a rare opportunity for her to capture the emperor's heart!

"Alas, the concubines have also heard about this matter, in fact, it is no wonder that the queen mother is unwilling, the marriage is not trivial, not to mention that the eldest princess grew up under the love of the emperor and the queen mother, if she really marries into Dongyang Kingdom, stay away from Chu Yun, and she will suffer any grievances. But ......"

Concubine Shu paused and did not continue to speak.

"But what?" Emperor Yun asked.
