Chapter 53: The Princess

A touch of new greenery, spring blossoms.

In the palace, whenever there is any news, it always spreads quickly.

"Have you ever heard? The Beiyan Xiao family has already sent someone to ask for marriage, and they are going to marry the princess of my dynasty? ”

"It's already been spread by this time."

"The person who marries the princess is the son of the Xiao family."

"The Xiao family is in Beiyan, and it is really the power of the government and the opposition. Under one man, above ten thousand. ”

Several palace maids and several eunuchs, when they were busy, bowed their heads and whispered to each other.

Not far away, a pretty palace maid who was about to pass by here overheard the conversation between them and slowly stopped her steps.

"Fortunately, I came out and walked around today, otherwise I wouldn't have known such important news."

"I must go back and tell the princess."

The little palace maid pondered for a moment, and hurriedly ran away, returning to the place where the princess lived.

*

Xianfu Palace, one of the six palaces in the west of the imperial palace.

The front hall is the place where the salute is ascended, and the apse is the sleeping palace. Although this is usually the residence of the concubine, it is the only princess of Daqi who lives here at this time, Su Qing.

"Princess, princess."

As soon as the little palace maid entered the Xianfu Gate, she had already opened her mouth and shouted loudly inside.

"Biluo, what happened? So panicked? ”

There was a woman in the dormitory who was dressed very luxuriously and gorgeously, and she looked extremely noble. This year, she turned 18 shortly after her birthday.

"The slave has seen the princess."

"The slave maid just went out, and I heard all the palace people talking about it, Beiyan has sent someone to ask for a marriage and is going to marry the princess."

Biluo hurriedly squatted down and bowed, and reported to the princess.

"Oh?"

"It seems that this matter has become true, and everyone already knows it at this moment, but only I don't know it."

When Su Qing heard this, she was a little angry. Now that this matter has spread, I am afraid that it has already been decided in the court. Thinking about it, my father had already made up his mind and didn't want her to mention it.

"Hmph."

"Biluo, follow me to the Heart Cultivation Palace."

Su Qing got up directly and opened her mouth to instruct.

"Yes, Princess."

Biluo hurriedly stepped forward and helped Su Qing get up.

*

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

"Enlighten the saint, the princess asks to see."

Emperor Jingde was reviewing the recital, and suddenly there was a sound outside.

"Announce her in."

Putting down the fold in her hand, Emperor Jingde frowned slightly, it seems that she already knows about the relationship at this moment.

"Erchen has seen his father."

After entering the Heart Cultivation Palace, Su Qing hurriedly squatted down and bowed.

"You already know?"

Emperor Jingde got straight to the point and asked directly.

"I've heard about it, dare to ask my father, is this matter serious?"

Although the matter was probably a foregone conclusion, she still wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Hmm."

"Your title has been set above the court."

"Eldest Princess Gulun Duanshu."

Emperor Jingde looked at her and said lightly.

"Father, why did you hide such a big deal from me before?"

"Erchen's lifelong events, can't he make his own decisions?"

Su Qing was very dissatisfied, she didn't care about the glamorous title in her heart.

"You have to remember that you are the princess of Daqi."

"Your marriage is also a state affair."

"What's more, marrying into the Beiyan Xiao family will not insult your identity."

"Xiao Zhen is, the sister-in-law of the Xiao family."

"If you gain power once and the Xiao family wins the throne, you will be the queen of Beiyan in the world."

Emperor Jingde was very patient and explained to her one by one.

At this time, there was an accident in the Northern Yan court, and it had not yet been transmitted back to Daqi.

"Just because of this, you sacrificed your daughter?"

"Isn't it to satisfy your ambitions?"

Su Qing was a little stubborn and retorted loudly.

"Presumptuous."

When Emperor Jingde heard this, he was furious, and his hand slapped fiercely at the imperial case in front of him.

"Princess, please be careful."

Debao, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly spoke. His eyes were at her, very vague.

"Hmph."

"Marrying a daughter and kissing? Doesn't my father feel ashamed? ”

"Erchen still remembers in his heart the wise words that Dingguo Gong personally said many years ago."

"No affiliation, no courtiers, no tribute."

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies."

"After so many years, dare to ask my father if he has done it?"

Su Qing didn't show any fear, and said loudly.

Debao, who was guarding the side, was sweating profusely when he heard this.

The princess's words are too harsh, and she is really bold.

"You."

"It's too presumptuous."

"Look at you, how can you still have the dignity that a princess should have?"

"This matter has been decided, you go back and get ready to get married."

"Get me out."

When Emperor Jingde heard this, he yelled at her, and at this time, his face was already full of anger.

"Hmph."

"The retainers retired."

Su Qing didn't care, squatted down and saluted, and then left quickly.

"Holy Lord, dissipate your anger."

Debao hurriedly picked up the tea cup on the imperial case and handed it to Emperor Jingde.

"Huh."

"It's really my daughter's age and I can't help my father."

"This temper is really stubborn."

"It's just like her mother."

Emperor Jingde took a sip of tea, and then his complexion returned to normal. At this time, his face did not look half angry.

"Holy Lord, is there no room for manoeuvre in this matter?"

Seeing that the saint was not angry, Debao asked.

He can also be regarded as watching the princess grow up and marry Beiyan, and he is also a little reluctant.

"No, I can't help myself."

"Now that the situation in Shikoku is changing, a big war may break out at any time."

"Daqi shares borders with the other three countries. It is the land of four wars. ”

"The Northern Yan soldiers are strong and strong, if they can marry each other and advance and retreat together. Then, Daqi can no longer have worries. ”

"In my heart, although there is also a lot of reluctance."

"However, there is no way."

Emperor Jingde was a little helpless and said to him. There is only such a princess, how willing is he in his heart.

"Hey."

*

Wenxiu Palace.

"Woo."

"My father wants to marry me to Beiyan, how can he be so ruthless?"

At this moment, Su Qing was hugging Concubine Xiu's waist and crying miserably to her.

"Hey."

"Qing'er, don't cry yet."

"Let's think of other ways to see if there's room to turn around."

Concubine Xiu gently stroked her jet-black hair and said to her very gently.

Su Qingnai is the only princess of Daqi, born of Concubine Li. Her mother-in-law had a difficult birth when she gave birth to her, and she died early.

From childhood to adulthood, Su Qing has been the closest to her.

Su Qing and Su Li also grew up together since childhood, and they have a deep brother and sister relationship.

"If the Sixth Emperor Brother is still here, he will definitely not watch me marry Beiyan."

Su Qing misses Su Li very much, and at this moment she doesn't know the news that Su Li is still alive.

When Concubine Xiu heard this, she was a little sluggish.

"Do you want to tell her?"

Although she was very reluctant to Su Qing to look so sad, she also remembered that Su Li sent a message to tell her not to reveal the news that he was still alive to anyone.

"Qing'er, actually."

"Your Sixth Emperor Brother, he's still alive."

In the end, she still told the truth herself, and she believed that Su Qing would not tell anyone the news.

"Really?"

When Su Qing heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she was a little incredulous.

"Really."

"But you have to remember not to talk to anyone, including your father."

Concubine Xiu nodded lightly and smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, Qing'er will be tight-lipped."

There was nothing else that could have turned her on so excited.

I haven't seen you in eight years, are you okay?
