Chapter 145: The master has the final say
However, the second prince still has the task of being kind, and it is reasonable to ask to marry the lord of Qing'an. The eldest princess really shouldn't do things for the sake of her children's private feelings. ”
Jiang Chuge's eyes were surging: "Duke Dingguo is very good at planning for the second prince." In this way, you are planning for the Qi country. ”
Dingguo Gong choked and made persistent efforts: "The minister is a courtier of Qi State, so naturally he should focus on Qi State." Harmony is a major matter of the two countries, and it is related to the safety of the Qi country, and the old minister has to pay attention to it. ”
"In this way, is Dingguo Gong willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of Qi and for the sake of righteousness?"
"Yes, that's nature."
"Okay, well, Dingguo Gong is really a righteous person. It's just that the matter of harmony is not in a hurry for the time being, the second prince said for a while that he asked to marry the palace, and for a while asked to marry the lord of Qing'an. But the county lord of Qing'an has no intention of this aspect, and the palace still needs to think about it for some more time. ”
"The marriage is a big event, the words of the parents and the matchmaker, not to mention the marriage between the two countries, how can I listen to her opinion!" Dingguo Gong did not agree, and he was not willing to delay any longer, and he was eager to settle this matter in the current court.
"Although the county lord of Qing'an is the county lord, he is also the granddaughter of the old minister and the girl of the Su family. As the head of the Su family, Lao Chen agreed to give the county lord of Qing'an to the second prince of Beiyan. Presumably, the eldest princess has no opinion! ”
Jiang Chuge smiled lightly: "What is the urgency of the Duke of Dingguo, the Northern Yan Emperor's letter to the palace said that let the second prince and the eldest princess come to Qi Country as guests, if a young man sees the right eye, there is no reason for him and the palace to stop him."
In other words, the eldest princess of Beiyan is still choosing the men of the Qi country. Then why do we need to be in a hurry to marry our daughter, how do we have to let the girls of Qi meet His Royal Highness the Second Prince, if both of them are interested, this palace will naturally be fulfilled. ”
What Jiang Chuge means is that the princesses of Beiyan can pick and choose the men of their Qi country, but the girls of their Qi country do not have the right to choose, which is really detrimental to the national prestige of the Qi country.
In a few words, she raised the matter to a major event in the two countries. Some people in the DPRK stood up against Dingguogong, but Dingguogong finally failed to settle the matter as he wished.
Tang Meng didn't shirk it, and actually commented: "Our Qi men are elegant and beautiful, but since the second prince of Beiyan came to the capital, most of the time he wears short shirts. It can be seen that Beiyan is beautiful in terms of health. ”
Su Lingqiao laughed: "You are a boudoir woman, you are really ashamed to open your mouth and close your mouth to a man." ”
Tang Meng's face remained unchanged, thinking that he had been said too much, and he didn't care anymore. It's just that the heavy anger in his eyes can hardly be hidden, and the scene is quiet for a while.
Seeing this, Xu Xiang's granddaughter Xu Yingying smiled and relieved the siege: "Speaking of this second prince, I heard that he asked to marry our eldest princess!" The second prince is a young hero, and the eldest princess is also a beautiful woman, and the two are really compatible. ”
Hearing that Xu Yingying praised Jiang Chuge as a beautiful woman in the country, Su Lingqiao took a sip of tea a little irritably: "This matter is all the old Huang calendar, our eldest princess still can't look down on the second prince of Beiyan." I heard that she refused the second prince's proposal to marry, so I don't know who will fall on the matter of harmony. ”
Someone spoke, the atmosphere became lively again, and Tang Meng's embarrassment also dissipated: "I know a little about this, I heard that the eldest princess asked the second prince to enter the Qi Kingdom, but the second prince was unwilling." simply chose the second daughter of the eldest princess Jingyi, the county lord of Qing'an, as the choice with her relatives. ”
The cup in Su Lingqiao's hand shook, the tea spilled out and stained the corner of the skirt, and his hand clenched tightly. It's okay to lose to Jiang Chuge, but losing to Sophran's yellow-haired girl who hasn't grown yet, how can she be willing.
Xu Yingying and Tang Meng were chatting happily, and they didn't notice Su Lingqiao's strangeness, or rather, they pretended not to notice her strangeness.
"Then your news is not well-informed enough, but I heard that the eldest princess of the court did not respond to Beiyan's request that day. also said that he wanted the girls of Qi to pick a person from Beiyan, and now it can be regarded as giving the women of Qi a long face. ”
Tang Meng opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Did the eldest princess really say that?" ”
"yes, it's my father's words, don't you say it."
Tang Meng nodded like pounding garlic.
When these words were heard in Su Lingqiao's ears, his taste changed: "The one in the palace really said that he could let the woman of the Qi Kingdom come into contact with the second prince?" ”
"It's true, the eldest princess's original words are that as long as both of them are willing, neither she nor the Manchu Dynasty can object."
Su Lingqiao seemed to have eaten a reassuring pill and regained his face.
After the news that Jiang Chuge rejected Yu Chi Qianye's request to marry the county lord of Qing'an, there was another turmoil. The eldest princess Jingyi's heart went up and down, and when she heard that Yu Chi Qianye was asking for marriage, she was so frightened that her heart trembled, and when she heard that Jiang Chuge rejected her heart and fell back into her stomach.
Although Jiang Chuge refused, he didn't refuse completely, no matter how rational Su Phran was, she was just a fourteen-year-old girl. At this age, it is the easiest time to be angry, but the second prince of Beiyan is the dragon and phoenix among people. The eldest princess Jingyi was also worried, so she took Sophran with her every day.
But Su Fulan's temperament jumped out, and he could barely survive being locked up in the house for a few days, and as the days went by, he was naturally very unwilling.
The eldest princess Jingyi knew that she couldn't hold back, so she thought about taking her to the Dayuan Temple outside the city to offer incense.
Although she had to follow the adults all the time, she was able to go out to breathe, and Souffran was so excited that she danced with her hands.
In order to prevent accidents, the eldest princess Jingyi called Su Fran to explain in detail: "Lan'er, you must follow me when you go out tomorrow, even if you want to go out with friends, don't contact men." Especially the second prince of Beiyan, he is now beating your idea. You must not make a wrong decision, if you are met by him and your reputation is ruined, you have to stay away from your parents and marry Beiyan. ”
Sophran playfully stuck out her tongue: "Mother why should she scare me by talking, I am not a child anymore, so I naturally know what is at stake." ”
The eldest princess Jingyi nodded her head with a smile and took out a picture scroll: "You kid, there are some things that you can't decide. This is the portrait of the two princes of Beiyan, if you look at it, it can be regarded as a precaution. When you see this person tomorrow, hide from it. ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Sophran nodded in response, and took the portrait of Yu Chi Qianye to the side to ponder it.
Jingyi Dachanggong mainly went to Dayuan Temple to offer incense, which would naturally alarm Yu Chi Qianye. After Yu Chi Chiba got the news, he also gave the Guogong Mansion a breath.
The prince of Dingguo went to find Su Lingqiao in person: "Tomorrow, the eldest prince of Jingyi will go to Dayuan Temple to offer incense, you go with her, and find a way to let Fulan and the second prince get along more." I also want to talk more about the benefits of the second prince in Fran's ear. ”
Su Lingqiao heard that her eldest brother asked her to be a lobbyist, and she was upset, it turned out that the second prince of Beiyan asked to marry Su Fulan, and her father and brother supported her behind her.
But being able to meet the second prince of Beiyan is also an opportunity, and she must let him notice her. Thinking like this in his heart, he reluctantly asked: "What is the benefit of the second prince of Beiyan?" ”
The prince of Dingguo was afraid that she would do bad things, so he told her the benefits of Yu Chi Qianye: "He is one of the most favored sons of the Northern Yan Emperor, and it is very likely that he will be the next Northern Yan Emperor." The person who is close to him is going to marry as a princess, so he is naturally a wife. When he became the emperor, he accompanied him to become the queen. ”
The prince of Dingguo was still afraid that she would not care, so he specially mentioned her: "Tomorrow you will say this to Fran, do you know?" ”
Su Lingqiao nodded absentmindedly: "Got it." ”
The prince of Dingguo glanced at her uneasily, and finally left with an uneasy heart.
Su Lingqiao was shocked by the sentence Queen Beiyan, and was even more determined to attract the attention of the second prince of Beiyan.
She has no hope in the Qi country, and it is useless to keep it any longer, it is better to marry Beiyan, or she is also a prince and concubine, even if she can't be the queen, she is above ten thousand people under one person.
Walking from the embroidery building to the second gate, and kept turning back to look at her, Su Lingdexterity hooked her lips proudly.
Outside the second gate, the prince had already prepared the carriage and planned to tell her a few more words before going out. Looking at Su Lingdex, who was dressed up, Su Shizi couldn't help frowning: "Isn't it okay for you to dress like this?" ”
"What's wrong, since the second prince of Beiyan has a crush on Sufran, he naturally won't look at me more. When I go out, I represent the face of the Guogong Mansion, if I am dressed plainly, I don't have to make people feel cold. ”
Su Shizi twisted his eyebrows, always feeling that something was wrong, but Su Lingqiao had already got into the carriage impatiently, and didn't want to talk to him more.
Su Shizi's words came to his mouth and swallowed again: "I hope you live up to your expectations." ”
Since Su Lingqiao is playing the banner of accompanying the eldest princess Jingyi, she has to go to the door of the eldest princess's mansion to hang around.
Fortunately, the eldest princess Jingyi was very cooperative, and she didn't let her wait long after she entered the mansion, and after asking An a few words, she led Sophran out of the door.
Compared to her dress, Souffran is unsightly. I saw that she was wearing a cyan dress, and her hair was simply decorated with hostas.
Su Lingqiao saw it, his heart blossomed, and he affectionately pulled Su Fulan to ask for warmth. The two stood together, and even the eldest princess Jingyi saw at first glance was not her daughter, but Su Lingqiao.
The eldest princess Jingyi frowned in displeasure, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd. It's just that the vigilance in my heart has deepened.
rushed all the way to Dayuan Temple, only to find that there was more than one person who was incense today, and there were already maids led by the Xu family and the Song family waiting outside the temple gate.
When he saw the eldest princess's carriage coming up the mountain, he came up to greet her. Xu Yingying is Su Ling's handkerchief, but she has no friendship with Su Fulan, the county lord, and the Xu family's maid is waiting outside the door, naturally to wait for Su Lingqiao.
The maids of the Song family were brought by Ping Yao, and the ones who were naturally waiting were the eldest princess Jingyi and Su Fulan.
"Princess, second miss, you are here, the eldest lady is already waiting inside."
The maid sent by the Xu family is often out and about, and the eldest princess Jingyi also knows it. Seeing that it was her who came, she was also relieved to hand over Su Lingqiao to her.
"Sister-in-law, if you want to go * to play, let's go, we are in the meditation room in the East Wing, you can come over at any time."
Su Ling's mind turned around and rejected the maid of the Xu family: "Sister-in-law, since I am here with you, I naturally want to follow you, I will go wherever you go." ”
The second prince of Beiyan is naturally here for Soufflan, and he will definitely find a way to meet the eldest princess Jingyi and others, and it will be easier for her to meet the second prince with the eldest princess Jingyi.
Su Lingdexterity kindly held Jingyi's hand: "Sister-in-law, let's go in first, don't let Pingyao wait for a long time." ”
Jingyi was full of puzzlement, with Su Ling's previous temperament, she had already avoided her at this time, how could she change her temperament today.
The group went to the east wing room to see Ping Yao first, she was already a woman, she was not as free as she was still in the boudoir, and it was not easy to go out.
Jingyi arrived in the east wing, Xu Yingying, and Tang Meng also rushed over.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the younger generation is rude. It stands to reason that the juniors should come directly to greet you, but the juniors let people pick up Miss Su first, which is really rude, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will not blame her. ”
Xu Yingying is Xu Xiang's granddaughter, not to mention that she is so calm, even if she is really rude, if she doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, Jingyi will not worry about a junior.
