Chapter 131: Distant Marriage
After staying in the western suburbs for a few days, the emperor is about to leave for the palace.
Tong Yan was confused, the saint asked each family to bring so many female dependents together, and I didn't hear which one was chosen for Xiri Ahong to be the fourth princess?
But Tongyan's question didn't last long before it was answered, and the will that came out of the palace was that after the beginning of spring, Princess Anle would marry the four princes of southern Xinjiang and return to southern Xinjiang with her.
When she heard the news, Tong Yan was shocked.
How could it be......
Qingzhi looked at the widening eyes of his county lord, and continued, "This is still what Princess Anle asked for herself, and Concubine Shuniang also agreed, and the four princes of Southern Xinjiang were also very happy." ”
"Why?" Tong Yan asked in disbelief.
Qingzhi lowered her voice and whispered in her ear, "It seems that the Queen Mother is also quite willing, Your Majesty was not allowed, but Princess Anle herself was willing, and Your Majesty reluctantly agreed." ”
Tong Yan was like a fish in her throat, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
She paced around the room twice to calm down.
I can't be confident in Nanjiang, because I expected Princess Anle to volunteer.
At that time in Chongguo Temple, An Le was still devoted to Cheng Huai, and she and Cheng Huai had not yet decided to marry, how could the people of Southern Xinjiang ensure that even if An Le could not marry Cheng Huai, he would definitely agree to marry the four princes of Southern Xinjiang?
Could it be that the Queen Mother is from southern Xinjiang......
Tong Yan shook her head, this idea is a little too ridiculous, if the Queen Mother is involved with Southern Xinjiang, then I am afraid she also wants to take the rights of Southern Xinjiang in her own hands, and will never give up the world of herself and her son.
Even if the Queen Mother has 10,000 bad ones, it is absolutely impossible to collude with other countries.
But if it's not the Queen Mother, who will it be?
Lady? It's even more impossible, An Le is her own daughter, who would push her daughter into the fire pit, let alone Xiri Ahong, who has not inherited the throne, just say that she is the queen of the king of southern Xinjiang, she will not be willing.
Besides, His Majesty's only son was born to her, at least now she has no reason to collude with Southern Xinjiang, the Jiang family is also from the Central Plains for generations, and now her status in the court is in the sky, how can she do such a stupid thing.
Tong Yan thought about it for a while, went to the study and wrote a letter, and asked Ji Yue to send it to the Wei State Mansion.
At this moment, in Renshou Palace, there is a cloudy atmosphere.
The gloomy atmosphere in the emperor's eyes was flourishing, and he sat on the chair with the queen mother, one left and one right, quite evenly matched.
On the other hand, the Queen Mother is light-hearted, and there is still a smile on the corner of her mouth.
The palace people who stood on the side and waited were all watching their noses and noses, and they were pestled to the side like a piece of wood.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean, this is the will that An Le asked you for, if you don't want her to marry, just refuse her, why be angry with me?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, looking like she wanted to laugh.
That expression seems to say that this is your will, and it is not my will, what does it have to do with me?
The emperor was angry, and he was quiet for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "If it weren't for the queen mother's action, how could An Le come to ask me for advice?" ”
It is clear that the Queen Mother and Xiri Ahong colluded to coax An Le, the son of Wei Guogong has just made a marriage with Zhaoyang, An Le will be disheartened for a while, but they took advantage of the loophole!
The Queen Mother laughed, looked at the emperor mockingly, shook her head and said, "If that's the case, Concubine Shu will inevitably have to bear half of it, and she is willing to let An Le marry to southern Xinjiang, do you say that An Le listens to her mother, or listens to me, a grandmother who is a generation apart?" ”
"Impossible." The emperor cut the railway.
How could Concubine Shu let her own daughter marry far away, a few days ago she was still very worried that An Le would marry far away!
The Queen Mother smiled, and a deep disappointment appeared in her eyes, she really didn't want to talk to the emperor anymore, like a failed son who blamed his mother for all his mistakes.
She had to admit that most of this son followed the emperor.
The emperor wanted to say anything more, but the queen mother had already stood up, glanced at him indifferently, flicked her sleeves and walked out.
The hall was quiet, and a few birds stopped on the latticework and chirped non-stop.
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and the birds fluttered their wings and scrambled to fly away.
The emperor kicked the chair in annoyance, and the poor innocent stool spun around for half a circle, and fell miserably to the ground.
Tongfu hurriedly followed.
There was no one else in the hall except for a few palace maids, and an inconspicuous little palace maid sighed, walked over and helped up the lonely chair that had fallen to the ground, carefully examined it and muttered, "I don't know if it's broken......
The letter sent by Tong Yan was not replied to until the next day.
After reading it, she burned the letter and let out a long, invisible breath.
Writing the content of the letter, she asked An Leyuan about the holy decree of marriage, and even took her to tell Cheng Huai about being stunned in the paddock.
It's a pity that even Cheng Huai didn't have any eyebrows, and as soon as he answered hastily, he began to write at length about his worries about the paddock, and told her not to hide it from him in the future, let alone run around, and to stuff her with a few more secret guards.
Tong Yan couldn't cry or laugh.
——
Autumn in Kyoshi is very short, and soon the winter solstice will come, and the leaves in the courtyard will almost fall.
After eating dumplings from Princess Yong's courtyard, the entire Yongwang Mansion was lit with red lanterns.
As soon as Tong Yan walked back to Zhaoyang Garden, scattered snowflakes floated in the sky.
Dressed in a crimson cloak and holding a warm hand stove in her arms, she leaned against the pillars in the cloister and watched as the snowflakes fell gently from the sky, wandering around like rootless duckweed and falling to the ground and disappearing.
She couldn't help but reach out a hand and reach out of the cloister to catch the snowflakes that were like grains of salt.
"County Lord, don't freeze, let's get into the house." Qingzhi's nose was red from the cold, and he lifted the curtain, half urging and half worried.
Tong Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, my body is not so weak, you all go into the house first, I want to see the snow here." ”
Qingzhi lowered the curtain and stood back silently.
Tong Yan laughed and quipped, "Don't get sick from freezing, who will serve me if you freeze, you see, obviously we both have been dispersed, I am like an iron beater, you have been on the couch for several days, and your physique is far worse than mine." ”
"You, don't be reckless, go in quickly." Tong Yan also waved her hand to Ji Yue and the others.
Qingzhi couldn't refute this, her face made the lantern red, and she snorted a few times, but she went back obediently.
In the entire corridor, there were only Tong Yan and a few little girls who sprinkled and cleaned.
Tong Yan looked at the thick night, there was not even a trace of moon shadow, lonely and empty.
She remembered clearly that this night last year was the same, there was no moon in the dark night, and there was such a thin light snow.
