Chapter 154: Agree to go to the border pass
Zhong Cui Palace, Yun Qingyan looked at Emperor Yun in front of him, and Queen Chu, and said very seriously: "Father, mother, daughter and cousin only have brother and sister affection, and there is no love between men and women. ”
After the banquet just now, she was called to Zhong Cui Palace, and Emperor Yun and Empress Chu also officially mentioned the marriage between her and Chu Heng to her.
Emperor Yun listened to Yun Qingyan's answer, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart for no reason.
In the past few days, he has also thought carefully about why the queen must let Yan'er marry to the border. He can also understand that the queen is frightened by recent events, and hopes that Yan'er can spend her life in peace. In addition, he really intends to ease relations with the queen today, so he came to this Zhongcui Palace and mentioned this marriage.
It's just that in his selfish heart, of course, he doesn't want Yan'er to agree, after all, he is his daughter who has been spoiled since childhood, if he really marries far away, how can he really be willing to do it.
"Yan'er, the queen mother still hopes that you can think about this matter, the queen mother also told you before that the conditions of the border pass are ......"
"Queen Mother, this matter has nothing to do with whether the conditions at the border are good or bad, but because there is no love between men and women between the daughter and her cousin." Yun Qingyan interrupted Queen Chu's words, "The daughter can understand the queen mother's kindness, but the daughter will not agree to this matter, and I hope the queen mother can dispel this idea as soon as possible." ”
"Are you really not willing to marry your cousin at all?" Empress Chu frowned, "Emotional things can be cultivated slowly, not to mention that the queen mother doesn't let you marry him right now, as long as you are willing, let your cousin stay in the imperial city temporarily, and the two of you will have more contact, so that you can also cultivate feelings." ”
"Mother, cousin, he grew up in the border pass, and now he is still serving in the barracks, what do you mean by letting him stay in the imperial city? What will others think of this then? ”
"Yan'er is right, the people stationed at the border pass stay in the imperial city at will, which is not in accordance with the rules, not to mention, if someone with a heart uses this matter to spread rumors and make trouble, I am afraid that some people will think that I deliberately want to leave people in the imperial city and do not trust your brother."
Emperor Yun opened his mouth with a serious color, Chu Xiping has been guarding the border for many years, and now leaving his son in the imperial city at this time will cause everyone's criticism.
Empress Chu glanced at Emperor Yun, and knew that what she had just said was a bit out of words.
"Please don't blame the emperor, it's the concubine who is reckless for a while."
"Okay, you had this idea before, although I didn't agree, but now I still ask Yan'er with you. But since Yan'er is unwilling, you, as her mother, can't even force her, queen, this matter should end here! Emperor Yun's tone revealed a bit of relaxation.
Empress Chu lowered her gaze, "Yan'er, the queen mother is really all for your good." ”
Yun Qingyan nodded, "Queen Mother, I know that you are for my good, but this matter really can't be forced." What's more, if you forcibly marry me to my cousin, it will naturally be unfair to my cousin. Also, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of gossip from the government and the opposition to the opposition, thinking that the queen mother is to consolidate the status of your mother's family, so you will marry your daughter. ”
"What others think, the queen mother doesn't care at all."
Queen Chu smiled bitterly, in her heart she only hoped that her child would be safe.
"Even if the queen mother doesn't care, has the queen mother ever thought about whether these rumors will affect the Chu family?" Yun Qingyan continued to persuade to speak, "This matter should not only be considered for her daughter, but also for her uncle, cousin, and even the entire Chu family. ”
"Yan'er is right!" Emperor Yun looked at Yun Qingyan with satisfaction and nodded, "Queen, look at it, our daughter, now that she has thought about things so thoroughly, she is no longer the child she was at the beginning, and there are some things that we still have to follow her wishes." ”
Empress Chu raised her head and looked at Emperor Yun, and then at Yun Qingyan, "That's it, since you don't want to, the queen mother naturally can't force you." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Yun Qingyan smiled and spoke.
"Okay, in that case, don't mention this matter again after that, when the time comes, I will naturally choose a husband for Yan'er, and I will definitely not let her be wronged."
"Father, my daughter has one more thing, I hope my father can agree." Yun Qingyan watched Emperor Yun speak.
"If there's anything, you just say it." Emperor Yun opened his mouth in a good mood.
"My daughter heard from her uncle that her grandmother's health has not been very good, but the queen mother is in the palace and can't go to the border to visit? So the daughter hopes that this time she can follow her uncle and them to the border to visit her grandmother. ”
As soon as Yun Qingyan's words came out, Empress Chu and Emperor Yun were both stunned.
"Yan'er, are you going to the border gate?" Emperor Yun couldn't help frowning again, "The border pass is a long way away, thousands of miles away, is it a bit hasty for you to suddenly propose to go to the border pass?" ”
Empress Chu also frowned, "Yan'er, you ......"
She was destined to not be able to visit now, and it would be great if Yan'er could go to see her mother on her behalf. But...... The matter of going to the border is not a trivial matter, will the emperor agree?
Thinking of this, Empress Chu looked at Emperor Yun.
Emperor Yun felt Empress Chu's gaze, "Do you know about this matter, Empress?" ”
"Father, this matter was decided by the daughter in private, and the queen mother didn't know about it. If you think about it carefully, the daughter has never met her grandmother, and as a junior, it is really rude. What's more, my grandmother is not in good health, so my daughter should naturally go to visit. In addition, this time, if the daughter goes with her uncle and cousin, it will naturally be safer on the way. ”
Yun Qingyan bowed to Emperor Yun and Empress Chu, and explained very seriously.
Originally, she didn't have such a thought, but maybe it was because she had been Yun Qingyan for a long time, and she had unconsciously accepted this identity, and at the same time accepted the mother of Queen Chu.
Looking at Queen Chu's secretly sad appearance, she was really uncomfortable in her heart.
What's more, if you can go to the border pass and see the customs along the way, it is much better than being stuck in this imperial city all the time.
Queen Chu looked at Yun Qingyan, her daughter's mind, how could she not understand, and a warm current crossed her heart.
And although Emperor Yun felt that the border pass was really a long way away, Yun Qingyan had already spoken, and with Queen Chu, it was naturally difficult for him to object.
"It's rare that you have this filial piety, in that case, then this time you will go to the border with your uncle. It's just that the border is far away, and everything must be prepared before departure. Don't miss anything to avoid suffering along the way. ”
"My daughter understands, thank you father." Yun Qingyan responded with a smile.
