Chapter 254: Hold back
The regent entered the palace and saw his sister sitting at the table, her head bowed slightly, waiting for her.
When I got closer,
The princess looked up at her brother.
The regent smiled,
Road:
"I heard that something happened to you, I was in a strange hurry, but Tian Wujing pressed up on the side of Zhennanguan, so I stayed for a while to deal with the affairs over there, and finally stabilized the situation and rushed here.
The complexion is good, and I am not thin, although the minions below have come to report, but I have to see it with my own eyes as a brother to be sure.
You have grown up beside me since I was a child, and it is the first time for you to go out of the door so far alone, and I am also worried in my heart. ”
The regent sat down beside him,
"Pour me a cup of tea."
The princess got up, poured tea, and brought it to the regent.
Once, every time I went to see my mother, my sister would take out her treasured royal cakes and tea cakes for herself to eat, and her father's favorite Daze fragrant tongue, she had a lot of private hiding, and she was reluctant to drink it, so she kept it for herself.
"Brother asks you again, who does your business have to do with it, Mi family? I don't think so;
Sister, say it boldly, if you can't even protect your own sister when you are an elder brother, how can I protect the people of this Chu country? ”
The princess shook her head and said, "It's all over." ”
The regent looked at his sister and was silent for a long time.
The princess smiled and repeated, "It's really all over." ”
The regent nodded and said, "Okay." ”
This is a promise not to pursue it again.
"I heard that Qu Peiluo often comes to see you? I've seen this kid, and it's still good. ”
"If my brother thinks it's good, my brother can marry himself."
"It's nonsense again, isn't it?"
The regent was not angry, he had never been angry with his well-behaved girl, and he had never even said a word of seriousness.
Born in the heavenly family, since he was sensible, he has been fighting openly and secretly with his brothers, and the so-called flesh and blood family affection of the heavenly family is a piece of red paper mounted outside the lantern, which will be broken when poked and burned in a flash.
Only when you are with her can you relax your heart and enjoy the joy of ordinary people's affection.
The princess said, "I don't see what's good." ”
"Sister, I believe in my brother's vision, as long as my brother and I are alive for a day, this kid will not dare to treat you badly, secondly, even among the many great nobles in my Great Chu, Qu Peiluo's material can be regarded as excellent, at this age, there are not many who are better than him."
"Not necessarily." The princess said.
Xiong Lijing has already compared it by herself, from the rules and regulations to the inside and outside, and finds that the more she compares, the more she feels that Qu Peiluo is useless.
Of course, whoever called Qu Pei Luo's life was not good, and he couldn't compare with anyone, but he was taken to Pingye Bobi.
"Resentment?" The Lord Regent asked.
The princess did not answer.
"If you have a grievance, just send it to your brother, send it out, it's fine, don't face people Qu Pei Luofa, brother is your brother in the end, since ancient times, where has my brother been angry with his own sister?
But Qu Peiluo is also a noble child in the end, and in his heart, he is also arrogant, you have to marry him eventually, don't try to stiffen the relationship for a while, it's not cost-effective. ”
This is a heartfelt statement, and it is also the way to run a family.
In many cases, you can't live a real life, and you can't do it by temperament, otherwise you will live an uncomfortable life, or you will be alone.
The dignified Chu regent can sit down and talk about the way of short marriage in these parents, obviously he really cares about this girl.
"Brother, I don't want to marry, I really don't want to marry."
"Obedient, the day has been set."
"Brother, why, I promised me before, who I marry in the future is up to me, how can you not talk as the king of a country! No jokes! ”
"I'm not an emperor yet."
"But what's the difference between you and the Emperor?"
Nominal regent, but in the last dynasty, they all sat on the dragon chair.
The regent shook his head and said, "Emperor, there has never been anything in name but nothing in fact, but there has never been something in fact and no name. If you want to blame it, blame our father for leaving in too haste, so that my brother and I were not fully prepared at the beginning. ”
If the Chu Emperor dies a year late, or even half a year later, the regent is confident that the Chu State will avoid that internal friction.
That internal friction made the Chu State miss an opportunity, and at the same time, it could only watch the Yan people annex most of the Jin land.
Even if Qu Tiannan was later sent to lead the Qingluan army to the expedition, in fact, the Chu State did not do its best, and at the same time, it only made up for the matter as if it were the last thing to do.
If there was no internal friction, when the Yan people had just destroyed the Helian family, the Great Chu army would be able to participate in the battle for the land of the Three Jin Dynasty in time, and at that time, it would be difficult for the Yan people to gain a firm foothold in the Jin land.
"Anyway, it's your brother, you have a point, you have a hard time, you have a difficulty, I, who is a sister, have to sell myself for your great cause."
The regent frowned slightly, and then unfolded,
Road:
"When girls grow up, they always have to get married."
"I don't, I don't, why do I want to be like this, why!"
"Just because you are a princess, you have been clothed and fed since birth, you can drink ice in summer, you can enjoy snow in winter, it is the royal family, and you have given you a graceful and rich life, then you must contribute yourself to this family.
Don't ask why, don't ask why;
A poor girl, who has an older brother or younger brother in the family, has to be sold by her parents as goods in exchange for bride price money for her brother to marry;
In the Qinglou prostitution house, how many women are willing to choose to do this business, most of them are poor and can't survive at home, and are sold by their parents;
It's the daughters of those aristocratic families, and there are fewer marriages?
Why didn't they ask why, why didn't they ask why?
In this world,
Where do you get so many good things in the play,
Whether it is the common people or the royal family, everyone has to live, and if you want to live, you have to compromise, just give up, there is no reason for this.
Sister
You have to be sensible. ”
Xiong Lijing opened her mouth, bit her lip, and said word by word:
"I don't want to be sensible, I just want my brother to be able to spoil me and take care of me all the time like he did when he was a child, I just want to be by my brother's side for the rest of my life."
"Stop talking these foolish words, we, we are brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, people, we have to learn to grow up.
shrewd
As long as my brother is here, I can guarantee that you will not be bullied in the slightest in this life. ”
"But it's you who bullied me!"
The princess shouted.
The green python at the bottom of the bed sensed it and poked out the snake's head from under the bed.
But when the green python saw the regent sitting there, the green python quickly shrank back again.
When the princess's anger reaches a certain level, it will automatically wake up and swallow the person in front of it into its belly, but he does not dare to be presumptuous in front of the regent.
"Brother, you came to see me just to tell me this."
"My sister is getting married, and when I am my brother, I naturally have to come and see it."
"Are you afraid that I will be too foolish and ruin your relationship with the Qu family?"
The regent was a little reluctant to speak, and he stood up, as if preparing to leave the bedchamber.
The princess still sat there, not standing up.
The regent walked to the door, stopped, and said, "Brother also wants to say to you, if you are not happy to marry, we will not marry, but my brother has no choice."
The emperor of Yan Kingdom, the intention of annexation is clear, he will not give his brother too much time to prepare, and his brother does not have much time to waste, so he really has no choice. ”
Xiong Lijing raised her head, looked at the regent, and said:
"You can choose not to be the emperor."
The face of the regent turned cold,
Directly scolded:
"If I don't fight for this position, if I let the other brothers sit on it, you won't sit here and talk to me about not wanting to marry, you have to be exiled to Daze with me now!"
The princess smiled,
A little sad:
"I do."
The regent was silent,
Two people,
One stands,
One sits,
No one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere of the dormitory was so stagnant.
…
Uncle Zheng sat in the carriage, he didn't go out to wander around at this time, nor did he go to see the scene of the swordsmith looking at the sword for Chen Daxia, just sat there silently drinking tea.
Zhao Chengli stood aside and didn't dare to speak more.
It's just that the two people still meet their eyes from time to time, but they don't make any valuable exchanges.
Are you here?
Yo, you're here again?
Yo, are you still here today?
Yes, I'm in, I'm out, I'm in...
Uncle Zheng really wants to smoke a cigarette now, firstly, he has nothing to do now and is waiting for boredom, and secondly, he has a little emotion in his heart and wants to relieve it in this way.
But Uncle Zheng still restrained his impulse after all, because the cigarette thing is too iconic, maybe the spies of the Phoenix Nest have already collected this habit for themselves.
To be idle is to be idle,
Uncle Zheng's thoughts began to diverge,
Suddenly one thing came to mind,
is that he has already seen Emperor Yan, the official family of Qianguo, Emperor Jin, the Savage King, and now he has seen the "Emperor of Chu";
Wow,
Even if it is an envoy or envoy of the two countries, he usually goes to a country and can only see one emperor, but on his side, except for the barbarian king, he is already about to have a grand slam.
In this world, there should be few people who can see so many "emperors" like themselves, and at the same time they have spoken at close range, right?
When you think about it this way, it feels like a Pokémon;
"Huh."
Uncle Zheng couldn't help but laugh twice.
Zhao Cheng, who was standing on the side, trembled twice subconsciously, he really didn't know Zheng Fan's identity now, he only knew that it was extremely mysterious, and mystery was the biggest source of human fear.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside.
Followed by
The three men dismounted and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Two middle-aged men stood at the door and knelt down directly.
Qu Peiluo walked in directly;
The two kneeling at the door were Qu Peiluo's two uncles, that is, Qu Tiannan's younger brother.
In the morning, the imperial forbidden army entered the garrison of the other courtyard, and at the same time, the fans of the phoenix nest also gathered, and the Qu family in Ju'an City immediately received an urgent report.
Several of Qu's interlocutors immediately understood who was coming, so the two uncles immediately accompanied Qu Peiluo to the royal palace to prepare for the audience.
The regent is a white dragon fish suit, but Qu must know that there should be etiquette and posture, not to mention that the wedding is imminent, and the regent is here now, which is to give Qu face.
The two uncles with the general's name knelt at the door and didn't come in, they were just responsible for kneeling, after all, the regent didn't put on a luan drive, which meant that most of them came forward as "family members", so naturally Qu Peiluo, who was about to become a member of the family, should go in to accompany the regent and the princess to talk about the family.
After Qu Peiluo entered the inner courtyard, he first saw the swordsmith who was there to help Chen Daxia taste the sword.
Obviously, he knew the swordsmith and immediately stepped forward to salute.
"Pei Luo has seen Uncle Dugu."
The Dugu family is a great nobleman of the Chu State of the same size as the Qu family, and one of Qu Peiluo's aunts and grandmothers is the wife of the second uncle of the swordmaker, so the swordsmith is a generation higher than Qu Peiluo.
Coupled with his identity as one of the four great swordsmen, he put on a stand in front of Qu Peiluo, and it was natural to accept this gift.
The younger generation who is about to get married salutes himself, and this one who is an elder needs to show something.
The swordsmith was also prepared, took out a short sword from his arms, and threw it directly to Qu Peiluo.
"Yours."
"Thank you, Uncle Dugu."
There is no doubt that the sword given by the swordsmith must be a good sword.
Qu Peiluo didn't refuse, accepted the sword very respectfully, and then set his eyes on Chen Daxia.
The Swordsmith introduced:
"The swordsman of Qianguo, Chen Daxia, is a person sent by Master Yao."
Qu Peiluo immediately gave up,
Chen Daxia replied with his sword.
The swordsmith narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"There is also a Mr. Xiao Su in it, who is a personal disciple of Master Yao, and he is very talented, you can go and say hello later, and on your wedding day, I can't say that people will write you a poem."
"Yes, my nephew knows."
Qu Peiluo continued to walk inside, and saw a carriage and Zheng Fan leaning against the carriage.
Although he wanted to rob other people's wives, and he had already unlocked a lot of tofu from his fiancée in advance before others, Uncle Zheng really didn't know Qu Peiluo.
Last time Qu Peiluo was reading poems outside the door, Uncle Zheng was holding the princess inside, and he had only heard the voice of this quasi-horse singing, but he had never seen a real person.
Until Zhao Cheng knelt down and saluted Qu Peiluo:
"The slave asks General Huwei for peace, and the general is blessed."
"Get up."
"General Xie."
Oh?
It's him.
Uncle Zheng immediately took on the role of Lao Wang next door and began to examine Qu Peiluo.
Looks,
Well
Not bad indeed.
Qu Peiluo's appearance is really good, and in the future generations, he looks more handsome than those little fresh meats, this is an indisputable fact, a fact that even Zheng Lao Wang has to admit.
But Uncle Zheng immediately disdained in his heart:
Just looking good has a fart.
Qu Peiluo didn't know what Uncle Zheng was thinking, he knew that Zheng Fan was a disciple of Master Yao and had to be admitted by the sword master, so he was extremely polite to Zheng Fan:
"I've seen Mr. Su."
Zheng Fan smiled slightly, and implicitly took half a step back in return:
"I've seen the general."
"Mr. Su is deeply honored to be able to attend Pei Luo's wedding banquet."
No, you'll regret it.
"Pei Luo likes poetry, and also admires Qianguo Wenhua, and hopes that Mr. Su will not hesitate to give advice, and Pei Luo should be grateful."
No, you won't be grateful.
"Where is it, Brother Qu is like a gentleman, he is really a humble gentleman, and Brother Qu's literary name Su has long heard of it."
After all, I hugged your fiancée that day and listened to you singing snow outside the door.
"Mr. Su is polite, Qu is ashamed."
The reason why Qu Peiluo was so polite to this disciple of Master Yao was just as the previous sword maker said, he hoped that this "Mr. Su" could make a poem or lyrics for himself on the day of the wedding banquet.
In this era, the spread and influence of poetry are extremely great, especially the title of "Mr. Su" and the disciple of Master Yao.
No one doesn't want their wedding to be beautiful and memorable.
Zhao Cheng, who was standing on the side, half-bowed his head, did not speak, did not speak, and had no expression.
As the only person in the know,
Zhao Gonggong felt that the dialogue between the horse and Zheng Fan in front of him, sympathizing with each other, and praising each other, was simply full of a witty black tone.
……
In the dormitory, it has been quiet for a long time.
The regent didn't get what he wanted here, he knew that his sister had a grudge in his heart, and he also came here to make her angry;
As an older brother, he hopes that his sister can live happily after getting married; As the "emperor", he hoped that his sister would complete his political alliance with the Qu family.
In fact, regardless of whether they marry or not, the Qu family can only be bound to him, because the Qu family has lost nearly 50,000 Qingluan troops for the regent, and at the same time, it has also damaged the current head of the family, a pillar country.
If you want to get out of the car, it's no longer possible.
This marriage was actually made for other nobles to see, in order to declare a position.
So, the regent didn't want his sister to be emotional.
But his sister's reaction made him a little strange, she should have accepted her fate, and as a result, it seems that she is exceptionally tenacious now.
This makes the regent feel very uncomfortable when he likes to hold everything in his hands, but all monarchs actually like the feeling that their will can control everything, and they don't like disobedience.
Coupled with the meaning that his sister has shown to herself openly and secretly in the past few years,
makes the regent's current mood inevitably bring some irritability.
He turned his head and looked at the princess, and said:
"Liqing, now that the wood is in the boat, the marriage is imminent, I hope you can be sober, you are my sister, I watched you grow up, so I know my sister, she is very smart."
"Brother, are you threatening me?"
"It's not a threat, it's a will."
"Will?"
"My will, let you marry me with a smile."
It's acting, and you've done it for me!
I know you have the ability, you're not as weak as you seem.
The princess, who was sitting on the chair, looked at her brother with a blank look.
And at this time,
The regent pushed open the door of the bedchamber,
The princess saw Qu Peiluo standing at the door of the palace for the first time,
Alas, here he is again;
forthwith
The princess saw Zheng Fan standing beside Qu Peiluo,
Hey, he's here again!
Xu is Uncle Zheng's appearance was really shocking, causing the depression and anger he had suffered from his brother before to be caught off guard.
A smile appeared directly on the princess's face.
The regent noticed it, and he also put his mind at ease, his sister-in-law still listened to his own words and knew how to measure.
Qu Peiluo saw that the princess smiled because she saw herself,
A sincere smile immediately appeared on his face in response.
Uncle Zheng saw Qu Peiluo smiling so happily,
He also ......
No way
Hold back, can't laugh.
