Chapter 174: Harmony
"My girl, she...... She ......" The girl choked for a while, leaned into Mingxiu's ear and whispered, "My girl is looking for death!" ”
It is not a good word for an unmarried girl to seek death and life at home, no matter whether Zhen Mi Niang can persuade her to come back today, the news that she is going to seek death cannot be spread!
Otherwise, not only will her reputation be gone, but the girls in the Zhen family will be implicated regardless of whether they are married or not.
"What?!"
Zhen Mi Niang is an optimistic girl, if something bad doesn't happen, she will never do anything stupid.
Mingxiu's face was heavy, "Take me quickly!" Does your old lady know? ”
She is a favored little princess at home, what kind of thing can't get over and it has to be so serious that she is looking for death?
"The old lady can't persuade her, so the old lady summons the slave maid to invite the county lord."
Although Mingxiu and Zhen Miniang have not known each other for a long time, the two lost their temper and can be regarded as close friends in the boudoir.
Because of her arrogant temperament, Zhen Miniang really doesn't have any friends who can be regarded as friends among the same family girls in the capital, and she is more of a nodding friend.
Now that this kind of thing has happened, the only one who can ask for help is Mingxiu.
Entering the door of Zhen's mansion, Mingxiu went straight to Zhen Miniang's courtyard, instead of going to see the old lady first.
It seems that the situation is really urgent, and only the housekeeper explains the situation to Mingxiu on the way.
But he was vague as well.
said that she had a little unpleasantness with the old lady, Zhen Miniang was reluctant to eat, and now it has been more than three days, and the doctor has come to see it, if you don't have to order food again, it will really kill you.
What is the contradiction, but the housekeeper refuses to say.
It's useless for Mingxiu to be anxious, you can't make a lot of noise in other people's homes, right?
Soon arrived at Zhen Mi Niang's yard.
"The county lord will go in by himself, the girl will not let the slave and maid wait to enter."
Mingxiu in this courtyard is also a frequent visitor, and when he heard the words, he went to Zhen Miniang's boudoir familiarly.
When he saw her, even though he was mentally prepared, Mingxiu couldn't help but gasp.
The originally bright and plump little girl was only a handful of bones left at this time.
She stepped forward a little distressed, "What's wrong with you?" Why don't you eat? "If you can't get along with anyone, don't get along with yourself!
Hearing her voice, Zhen Miniang was shocked.
"Mingxiu!"
Tears slid down her eyes, her face was pale and not half bloody, even if she said that she was terminally ill Mingxiu believed it.
"Ouch, what's the matter, don't cry."
In the face of the girl's tears, Mingxiu had no choice but to gently pat her back at a loss and take her into her arms.
It didn't take long for Zhen Miniang to stop choking.
It's not just that I've cried enough, but I haven't eaten and I don't have the strength.
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
Zhen Miniang bit her lip, "Dad wants me to kiss!" She could barely breathe, she didn't understand, wasn't Nan Lingfeng gone? Why do you want to be close?
She always thought that this matter had nothing to do with her, and that it was the princess who wanted to kiss her, right?
Mingxiu was shocked, like Zhen Miniang, she also thought that the matter of harmony was over, but between the two countries, it was said that they wanted to be peaceful, where could they say that the past would pass?
“…… Is this what Lord Zhen means? ”
If it was Zhen Miniang's father's idea, it would really be a saint.
The little girl in her arms shook her head.
"It's the meaning of the imperial court, and my father just came to tell me."
Zhen Miniang raised her head and looked at Mingxiu with teary eyes, "I don't want to kiss!" That place in the Southern Dynasty is simply not human! I inquired, the daughters-in-law of the Southern Dynasty are not allowed to go out, they can only take care of housework at home, even if their husbands beat and scold, they have to endure it! ”
The daughters-in-law and children of ordinary families are so miserable, and the royal family is even worse!
If she marries, her mother's family is far away and can't support her, and she has to suffer whatever she suffers!
Zhen Miniang has been pampered since she was a child, and she has never left her parents too far, how can she be willing!
She felt that if she lived like that, it would be better to die, at least the body was still in her hometown.
"Don't cry yet, I'll go out and inquire about it, let you kiss, it doesn't make sense."
Xie Zhan loves her so much, is he willing?
If Xie Zhan hadn't nodded, the candidate for harmony would still be undecided, right?
Moreover, the decree has not yet been decreed, and the matter has not yet been settled.
Zhen Miniang's eyes rekindled the light of hope, "Okay, I'm waiting for your news!" ”
"Before that, you give me a good meal, take care of yourself, don't starve yourself to death instead of going to kiss when the time comes."
It's hard to be angry with yourself.
Zhen Miniang nodded obediently, "I know, I'll eat well." ”
After leaving her, Mingxiu went to meet Mrs. Zhen and asked about the marriage.
"That's our duty as courtiers." Why doesn't Mrs. Zhen love Zhen Miniang? But the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, let alone give marriage? When the time comes, Zhen Miniang will marry as a princess, and their Zhen family is full of glory.
The glory of stepping on the bones of his daughter.
"But Mi Niang is still a child." Mingxiu still couldn't understand.
"Who of the girls to be chosen is not a child? They were all pampered and raised by their families, and Mi Niang was not more expensive than them. ”
Old Madam Zhen shook her head, "The meaning of the saint has come down, Mi Niang has to go." ”
Although their Zhen family is not full of loyalty, they will never do anything to resist the order.
Zhen does not only have a daughter of Zhen Miniang.
If you resist the decree, the Zhen family will have to be buried with the whole family!
"The regent agreed, too?"
"Yes."
Mingxiu immediately stopped talking.
The decision of the people in power, even if they are reluctant in their hearts, Zhen Miniang must be married!
However, Mingxiu still wants to fight for this little girl.
"I'll go find the prince."
Zhen Miniang is her only friend who came to the desert, if she wants to watch her marry far away and do nothing, Mingxiu can't do it.
This is also what Mrs. Zhen meant, if they just want to persuade Zhen Miniang not to look for short-sightedness, they can do it themselves.
Now what Mrs. Zhen needs is someone who has a good relationship with Zhen Miniang, who will pity her, and who can speak in front of Xie Zhan.
Now only Xie Zhan can turn the situation around.
Mingxiu is the right choice.
Didn't Mingxiu know that he was used as a gunman?
I just didn't know, but I also knew it after seeing Mrs. Zhen's relieved smile.
But she didn't have any grievances, which was originally her own meaning.
After leaving, Mingxiu didn't go home, and went straight to the Regent's Palace.
The housekeeper was as modest and polite as ever, and invited Mingxiu to sit down in the courtyard.
"Lord Wang, the Lord of Showa went to Zhen's Mansion before he came."
As soon as the news came, Xie Zhan knew why Mingxiu came.
He laughed at himself, "Mi Niang is more important in her heart than this king." ”
Hang Ziheng didn't dare to speak.
He is dissatisfied with Mingxiu, in Hang Ziheng's heart, Xie Zhan is like a celestial person, how many women's spring boudoir dreams?
Therefore, Xie Zhan loves Mingxiu, she should accept it with a thousand gratitude, even if she is as expensive as a princess, she is not worthy of taking Qiao in front of Xie Zhan.
The master and servant fell into a brief silence.
Hang Ziheng said cautiously: "Do you want to see you later?" ”
"Naturally, I want to see her, it's rare for her to come to this palace, how can she not see it?"
Thousands of begging, you may not be able to ask Mingxiu to come, and as soon as Zhen Miniang had an accident, she rushed up.
is sour in his heart, and he is reluctant to see it.
Seeing Xie Zhan, he didn't even greet him, Mingxiu asked directly: "Do you really want Mi Niang to marry far away?" ”
"She's the best fit." Xie Zhan Bafeng didn't move, and didn't seem to take this matter to heart.
Mingxiu was anxious, she really didn't understand in her heart, "You treat her like a sister, is it all fake?" ”
If it's really a sister, how can you give it up?
"Naturally, this king's sister is the princess of the desert, and it is reasonable for Zhen Mi Niang to marry." Xie Zhan still didn't look at her, "This king will invite the saint to make Zhen Mi Niang the eldest princess, nominally the daughter of the first emperor, and the dowry etiquette will not be half a disadvantage." ”
"You know that's not what I'm talking about!"
Mingxiu stood up and stared at him closely.
"Mi Niang is still a child, how can she take on the heavy responsibility of being kind?!"
This is not only for the princess of the desert to marry, but more importantly, to maintain the peace between the two countries.
Moreover, at most ten years, when the national strength of the desert recovers, it will definitely have to fight with the Southern Dynasties.
This is what Xie Zhan himself said, and it is also the oath he made in front of the previous emperor.
How to choose when the time comes?
On the one hand, there are blood relatives in the mother country, and on the other hand, there is the honor and disgrace of the husband's family.
This is embarrassing her, and it is also cutting her flesh!
"Which princess of the past generations is not a child?! At the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, Princess Yongle, who was close to the Southern Dynasty, was not yet thirteen when she was married, and Empress Taizu was a Xiban princess, and she was not yet in time when she married into the desert. ”
Xie Zhan turned around suddenly.
"Zhen Miniang is seventeen years old this year, compared to them, is she still a child?"
Those princesses can take on the responsibility of making peace, why can't Zhen Miniang?
Mingxiu was silent, "That...... Is it a certainty that honey girl and her relatives are certain? ”
If so, the days she spent with Zhen Miniang could be said to be countdown.
"The Holy Lord has already prepared the holy decree, and when Nan Lingfeng returns to the court to inform the Southern Emperor, the holy decree will be issued, and Nan Lingfeng will personally come to greet him at that time."
Having said that, Mingxiu already knew that it was impossible to reverse it.
Thinking of what she said to Zhen Mi Niang not long ago, Mingxiu was silent, she didn't know how to face Zhen Mi Niang.
