Chapter Eighty-Four: Marriage
King Qi interrupted the awkward atmosphere in the arena with some displeasure, "Princess Wei, you still have to pay attention to your words and deeds." ”
This princess of Wei is indeed a little rude, and everyone who is not very satisfied with the two sisters even looks down on them a little, but this marriage has long been agreed between the two countries, and there is nothing to be done now.
The banquet dispersed, and the king of Qi left his two sons behind to ask.
The eldest prince took the lead in kneeling down and cried: "Father, it's not that the son is unwilling, but that the eldest princess is so ugly, and the son faces her every day, I'm afraid that she will lose her life." ”
King Qi carefully recalled Gongsun Ling's appearance, in fact, it was not as ugly as the eldest son said, but his face was a little bigger and his eyes were a little smaller...... When you think about it this way, it's really a bit ugly.
"What about you, second?" His second son has never been a person who looks at appearances.
"Father, the son is unwilling, the son has talked to her deliberately, she doesn't even know what the son said, she has no talent and no knowledge, how can she be the concubine of the son of the minister?"
King Qi was also very distressed, and even began to blame King Wei in his heart for sending such an unremarkable daughter over, although trade is a big deal, but now his two sons are unwilling.
If it was usual, King Qi would not be able to shirk the matter of his two sons. But now he also felt that his son was really wronged by the woman, and he hesitated for a while.
Although there is another princess of Wei Kingdom, she is not so sorry for her appearance, but she is more unbearable than her sister, and she actually shows her love in public......
"Your Majesty, Gongsun Long, the princess of Wei, asks to see you." Outside the hall, there was the voice of the palace people.
What did she come to do? As soon as he heard this person's name, King Qi couldn't help but frown, it was really that she had just gone too far.
"Let her in."
Gongsun Long came over without telling her sister, and she made her sister angry about what happened at the banquet just now, but she didn't fight for this matter, for fear that she would regret it for the rest of her life.
"His Majesty King Qi is well." Gongsun Long saluted in a proper manner, and found that the eldest prince and the second prince were also there, and she had no intention of retreating, she hesitated a little, and made up her mind after a while.
Anyway, this matter can't involve the two of them, and it doesn't matter if you say it in front of them.
"What's the matter?" King Qi motioned for her to hurry up and explain her intentions.
Gongsun Long did not hesitate, and said his thoughts smoothly: "I want to ask Your Majesty to marry the prince of Wu Zhan just now for me and marry the two countries." ”
Qi Guo's first reaction when he heard it was ridiculous, first of all, the princess who came to kiss was your sister, not you, and secondly, the object of kissing should be the prince.
Seeing that he had a chance to escape the marriage, the eldest prince took this opportunity to push: "Father, I think this matter is feasible." ”
He met the puzzled gaze of King Qi, and the eldest prince calmly explained: "Although the marriages between the two countries have been dominated by royal marriages since ancient times, there has been no precedent for them. Erchen remembered that there was a Qi and Chu marriage more than ten years ago, and at that time, what our Qi State sent out was only the prime minister's concubine. ”
King Qi was a little shaken, if possible, he didn't want his son to marry the princess of Wei, an ordinary one was boundless, and an unspoken one was boundless.
Gongsun Long walked back to the royal palace briskly, and her sister was still angry with her, but she didn't care anymore.
Only those who know how to fight for it are possible to get what they want, and she is about to marry her male fairy, so that she will not be unhappy because of these little things.
Gongsun Ling was still waiting for her sister to apologize to herself, but she didn't wait until she fell asleep.
Wu Zhan and Xu Jiao went back to the house together, and Xu Jiao was still laughing at him because of this incident along the way.
"I really died laughing, your expression at the time, I think you were almost shocked to faint hahahahaha." Xu Jiao laughed so much that her stomach hurt a little, and she supported the seat with one hand.
Wu Zhan was helpless to be ridiculed by her.
When they arrived at the house, everyone also went to the old lady's courtyard to have a supper, although the things in the palace were delicious, but everyone took care of the image outside, and they were not full.
There are also people who took it out and told the old lady about what happened at today's banquet to make her laugh.
The old lady is old, and she doesn't participate in this kind of banquet, so everyone will share some interesting stories every time, but the interesting things shared today happened in their own home.
The old lady had long been accustomed to the popularity of her grandson, and said: "That princess is a little frivolous, she actually did this kind of thing in public, and the noble ladies who were usually interested in our Zhan'er only hinted at it in private." ”
Everyone laughed, and Wu Zhan glared at them angrily: "Grandma, why are you even making fun of me." ”
There was laughter and laughter in the hall, and there were people outside the hall from far and near, and their steps were hurrying.
"Old lady, there is a will in the palace."
How could there be a sudden will at such a late hour, this was the first thought of everyone. Everyone looked at Sixian Hou, but the head of the family was also very confused, and I don't know why His Majesty made the decree at this time?
Although they were confused, everyone still had to prepare and open the middle hall to receive the order.
Xu Jiao is not the master of the Sixian Marquis Mansion, so she needs to be avoided, she just went back to rest first, tomorrow is the day when the caravan makes an appointment to come to the second batch of salt, she has to go to the dock in person early.
The rest of the people gathered in the central hall, and they came out of the incense platform, and after cleaning their hands, they knelt on the ground to receive the order.
The next will was like a dream, everyone was calm and confused to dumbfounded, the old lady even stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Si Xianhou quickly helped her with a quick hand.
Wu Zhan was the calmest of these people, he didn't seem to hear anything, and his calm was a little scary.
Si Xianhou took the order, and cared about his son with some anxiety: "Zhan'er, are you okay?" ”
Wu Zhan nodded: "Father, grandma, I'll go back to the room to rest first." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for the big guy to react, and he took the lead in stepping into the night alone.
It was quiet, and the servants who were waiting for him could see that he was not in a good mood and that he was some distance away, so the voices echoing in his head became clearer.
"Wu Zhan, the second prince of the Cifu, and Gongsun Long, the princess of Wei, will marry on a certain day, so as to serve as a marriage bond between the two countries and cultivate together."
One second everyone was still mixing this matter up as a joke, and the next second it really came true.
In the past, he didn't really care who his wife was, he didn't care about anything, he just wanted to know more about his mother.
But now, he walked alone on the path, and he really felt his heart, and he didn't want to.
He didn't want to marry the so-called princess of Wei, and he didn't want to marry any noble girl.
Before that person appeared, he must have been indifferent, but that person appeared.
She suddenly appeared in his life, did she have to fall quickly because of the so-called force majeure?
