Four hundred and forty-one, opening
The next day, Qin Fengyi and the others entered the palace again because of the hurry of leaving yesterday. And the three of them entered the palace with their front feet, and Xiling Ying followed with their back feet to ask for a meeting.
"As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cao arrived."
Lin Qing sneered after hearing the report of the Duke of Wan, and his face was extremely gloomy. Seeing him like this, Chu Ci also knew in his heart that he didn't have a good impression of Xiling Ying, so he dispelled the idea of letting Xiling Ying marry Lin Qing.
Although Lin Qing would not disobey Chu Ci's order, he was unwilling in the end. In this way, it becomes a compulsion. When it comes to marriage, Chu Ci didn't want to be forced by others at the beginning, and now he won't force his henchmen.
"Xiling Ying took Xili to meet the emperor."
When Xiling Ying came in, he simply knelt down and saluted, and Xili followed suit. The three bows also made several people keenly aware of something inappropriate.
- This time, Xiling Ying is probably going to talk about marriage.
"The princess doesn't have to be polite." Although Chu Ci had a guess in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face. He only smiled and said: "A few days ago, the princess of the neighboring country also arrived in the capital, I heard that the princess and the princess of the neighboring country have some friendship, I wonder if the princess can go to meet the princess of the neighboring country?" ”
"I haven't seen it." As soon as Xiling Ying heard this, she knew that Chu Ci knew all the good things she had done, but she couldn't say it clearly at this time.
It is about the peace between the Western Regions and Great Chu, and Chu Ci, as the emperor, naturally cannot easily talk about this matter. As the emperor of Great Chu, there are some things that cannot be said at will.
"So?" Chu Ci didn't ask, only smiled, and continued: "The princess has never talked about the purpose of coming to my Da Chu since she entered Da Chu, and today, are you going to talk about it?" ”
After Chu Ci's words, Xiling Ying's face was a little more embarrassed. But after a moment, a gentle smile appeared on Xilingying's face again.
"Before, because I had just arrived in Dachu, I didn't know the customs of Dachu when I first arrived, so I didn't dare to speak." Xiling Ying said and smiled again, her eyebrows and eyes curved, "Now that I have been in Dachu for so long, if I delay it any longer, I am afraid it will not be able to say anything, so I ...... today."
"I hope the emperor won't blame him."
Since Xiling Ying said it so politely, Chu Ci naturally had no reason to be displeased. When it comes to this, Chu Ci can only follow Xiling's words.
"It's okay for the princess to say it directly." Although he knew Xiling Ying's plan, Chu Ci still gave Xiling Ying enough face, "If I am not embarrassed, for the sake of the friendship between the Western Regions Dynasty and Great Chu, I will not refuse." ”
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Xilingying's face became a little brighter. However, at this time, Xiling Ying did not mean to speak, but Xili on his side stepped forward and bowed.
At the end, I heard him speak respectfully and said: "The Emperor of Chu is benevolent and generous, this matter is well known to everyone in the Western Regions, and my king thinks that there has been constant friction between Great Chu and the Western Regions in recent years, but because of trivial matters, he feels that it is not necessary. ”
"But if this is the case for a long time, the friendship between the Great Chu and my Western Regions will definitely be damaged, so my king thinks day and night, thinking about how to make the Western Regions and the Great Chu have a long-term peaceful advantage."
"A few months ago, my king woke up in a dream, and the goddess dreamed, saying that only by in-laws can the Western Regions and Dachu have no suspicions, in this way, those small frictions are not enough to trouble."
Xili paused at this point, and then waited for Chu Ci to speak.
As for Chu Ci, his fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest of the seat, and his face was calm and waveless, and he couldn't see his joy and anger, and it was difficult to guess his thoughts. Yunnan
"My king's intention is to send his most favored and intelligent princess to the Great Chu Palace and become the imperial concubine." Seeing that Chu was speechless, Xili couldn't figure out what he meant, so he continued: "This move will definitely make the relationship between the Western Regions and Great Chu more and more friendly, not afraid of foreign enemies, and hope that the Emperor of Chu will agree!" ”
When it comes to this, it stands to reason that Chu Ci will not refuse.
But Chu Ci has never been an ordinary person, and he also said when he was not yet the prince that he would not rely on women to stabilize his status.
When I married Liu Yue, it was not to win over Lord Liu. What's more, it's a deal with Qin Fengyi, it's for Zhou Yunxi. Naturally, today's Chu Ci has no regrets.
He has already changed from the original 'transaction' to 'sincerity' to Liu Yue.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to agree." Chu Ci's refusal made Xili choke suddenly, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.
Throughout the ages, he had never heard of an emperor who would refuse the marriage of another country, the princess of another country, and the beauty that he sent to his door!
"I love the queen, now the queen has only been giving birth for a few months, and her body is still weak, if I marry the princess at this time, I am afraid that the queen will be very sad."
"The queen is lenient and benevolent, and she will not stop me from accepting a concubine because of her own selfishness, but I will not do anything that makes her sad because the queen will not blame."
"I heard that there is only one queen in the Western Regions, that is, the princess's biological mother, presumably the princess can also understand my heart for the queen, and she won't embarrass me, right?"
Chu Ci's words were high-sounding, and he used the affairs of the king and queen of the Western Regions as a rhetoric. In this way, it is really difficult for Siri to say much.
As for Xiling Ying, she also pursed her lips and looked at Chu Ci for a long time, and then said: "It is because of understanding that I am envious, so I am willing to marry Da Chu." If the emperor is a merciless person, I don't disdain to climb high! ”
As soon as these words came out, Chu Ci also looked at Xiling Ying silently.
He knew that Xiling Ying would not give up so easily, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. If he refuses, won't he become the 'unkind' person in her mouth at this time?
Yes, Xiling Ying didn't say a word to scold Chu Ci, but the meaning of the words was that if Chu Ci didn't marry her, he would be 'unkind'. This name is not easy to accept.
"Why should the princess be strong."
Lin Qing spoke leisurely at this time, with a somewhat imperceptible mockery in his tone.
"The emperor and the queen mother have a deep affection, and they promise each other a lifetime and a couple, and this matter is known to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and it is precisely because of this that we have not advocated taking concubines for the emperor."
"Today's princess is like this, just to break the emperor's infatuation with the queen's mother, so that the emperor can become a person who does not believe in his word?"
"If that's the case, I'd like to ask the princess and the envoy what they mean." As he spoke, Lin Qing hooked his lips, and his eyes were mocking, "Or, what does the King of the Western Regions mean." ”
"Why does Lord Lin bother targeting this princess everywhere?" Xiling Ying was also angry at this time, and her face was much colder, "Even if Princess Ben has a holiday with you all the way, you don't have to slander Princess Ben like this, right?" ”
"I didn't know that the princess and Lord Lin still had a holiday." Xili's face suddenly sank when he heard this, "So, the guards who went to protect the princess before but were driven back have something to do with Lord Lin?" ”
