Chapter Ninety-Eight: Asking for Marriage

During this period of time, Emperor Chengshun has always tensed his nerves, the rebellion in southern Xinjiang, Yue'er vomiting blood, Qi Xiu's departure from the war, the rebellion of Pingnanhou, Princess Changyao, and a series of other things, made him tired, but fortunately, everything is over, so he can rest and watch his concubine dance.

Meng Dongli is charming, with a slender waist and fair skin, nearly thirty years old, she looks like an eighteen-year-old girl, and she is also well-maintained during the day, and she has a share of any good things in the palace, how can she live up to this imperial grace.

A lot of things have happened these days, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, she originally asked Emperor Chengshun to give Meng Dongyang a marriage, but Aunt Cui's incident happened during the banquet, and everyone was busy currying favor with Luo Changqing, so it was inconvenient for her to speak.

Although Meng Gaoyang loves the Seventh Prince, but she has been cleaned up twice by Princess Xiaoning, and she has become indifferent, and some of her methods have also reached her ears, which can deter Mrs. Su in Su Yingying's matter, and can make Su Shuangzhu suffer enough, now I am afraid that the position of the wife is not guaranteed, and there are all kinds of things that happened in Fei Mansion, this woman is definitely not as simple as it seems, just because Meng Gaoyang also wants to compete with her, it is simply a fantasy.

And look at the matter of the lord of Hanwei, although it has nothing to do with her on the surface, but there is definitely something fierce inside, but there is no investigation in the palace, which is also what she sees in her eyes, just because her appearance is somewhat similar to the pure and good queen, this Chengshun Emperor is reluctant to do anything to her, although she entered the palace late, she has not seen the pure and good queen's heavenly posture, but only by the grace of the Fei family over the years, you can speculate one or two, Meng Gaoyang is not qualified to rob her at all.

It's just that the Seventh Prince, who couldn't be fascinated by Gao Yang's appearance, was fascinated by this mediocre woman.

Today, she invited the emperor to come, just to give the uncompetitive Gao Yang and ask for a concubine of the crown prince.

The prince is generous, humble, although not a powerful role, but it is also decent, deeply loved by the emperor, although not the favorite one, but the prince's position has never wavered, and was born to the first queen, when the princess Qixue gave birth to the prince and died, even the emperor did not witness the enthronement, but the emperor is not still posthumously titled, still named the queen, and the son she gave birth to was directly named the prince, this honor is not less than the queen of pure goodness.

Besides, the prince has no maternal family, and he is not involved with any concubines, if Gao Yang marries, the prince can still borrow the power of the Meng family, and his status as the prince is also stable, this matter is definitely a win-win situation.

If Meng Gaoyang becomes the prince's side concubine, she may not be able to be the concubine for a few more years, in case the prince ascends the throne in the future, Gao Yang may be able to be named the queen, and she will always have some dependence on her.

As for what Chun Yi asked for some time ago, she also had to try her best, and now that the news of the war has come back, Qi Xiuli has won a complete victory, Xichangguo is determined not to marry Princess Xiaoning, then Chun Yi'er still has hope, and she will also take the opportunity to give advice to the emperor, if the queen can be done by two girls, then she will be able to sit back and relax in the second half of her life.

The emperor doted on her and could be said to be extremely indulgent to her, not only because she was beautiful, but also because she was angry and coquettish, with a pitiful gait and a charming and charming gait.

She also did it deliberately, the emperor was worried about state affairs these days, and when he relaxed, where could he still control it, this dance had not yet been completed, and he fell in love with her, and he couldn't control himself.

She half-leaned on Emperor Chengshun's chest, coquettish, and said, "Your Majesty is eccentric." ”

Emperor Chengshun hadn't come out of the gentle village just now, and asked her with a smile: "How am I eccentric?" My love for the concubine is well known, but the concubine has wronged me. ”

The imperial concubine of Dongli pretended to be angry and pretended to be overdone, but Emperor Chengshun just ate her set, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't be angry, concubine, what is the matter, come to me to listen, if you really wronged concubine, I should make up for it." ”

The Imperial Concubine of Dongli asked him for this, and hurriedly said: "It was a well-known thing for Gao Yang to admire the Seven Princes before, but now Princess Xiaoning has taken the lead, Gao Yang is also a self-aware person, and he will definitely not compete with Princess Xiaoning, but the face of this daughter's family is lost. ”

As she spoke, she also shed tears of beauty, and Emperor Chengshun was even more distressed at this time, and immediately comforted: "It is said that Meng Gaoyang is your niece, and the family is not low, no matter where she marries, she will not be able to suffer a loss, but the concubine loves her heart, and I will never wronged her." ”

Didn't Meng Dongli ask for this promise, he immediately smiled and said: "The concubine thinks that the prince's mansion is good, the prince is kind and kind, and the princess is also sincere, Gao Yang will definitely not suffer if he marries in the past." ”

She said what she wanted.

The emperor was a little hesitant, the crown prince has a concubine, and the royal concubine cannot have two, that is to say, Meng Gaoyang can only be a side room, although it is the prince's mansion, but after all, it is a concubine, do you want to abolish the crown princess? This is absolutely impossible, can Meng Dongli be willing?

Seeing him hesitating, Meng Dongli knew what he was thinking, and continued: "Although Gao Yang has a high spirit, she is not a person who does not know what to do, she can marry the prince, even if it is a side room, she is also willing. ”

"The side concubine is also okay?"

I didn't expect the Dongli Imperial Concubine to put it up by herself, of course Emperor Chengshun is willing to be a favor, the prince has no maternal power, and now the five princes are also descendants, and there is faintly the power to compete, although it has not yet appeared, but the throne is such a good thing, who doesn't want it, he also knows that the five princes have contributed a lot below, he doesn't think the prince is good, one is that he doesn't want to be sorry for the promise he made to Princess Qixue that day, and the other is that he doesn't want his sons to kill each other and separate their flesh and blood.

In the final analysis, he is too benevolent to see the succession happen.

If the prince marries the daughter of the Meng family as a side concubine, the prince will have an extra arm strength, and he can also balance the five princes and balance the relationship, otherwise if the five princes are allowed to dominate one day, it will not be possible to have a disaster like the rebellion of King Wu again, he really doesn't want to see it, it is better to find some balancing techniques now.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded, and it was considered that the marriage was decided.

"On the day of the 15th Lantern Festival, it will be announced."

"What about Chunyi?" The Imperial Concubine of the East Fence also wanted to mention the matter of Chun Yi.

"Chunyi is not busy for the time being." Emperor Chengshun rejected her, and she didn't dare to mention it further.

The army has marched to the city gate, after repairing for a day, Qi Xiu left without delay, rushed back non-stop, the army camped ten miles into the city, he took the deputy general and a small number of men and horses into the city to pay the talisman, to the Chengshun Emperor to return to the order.

That's the rule, too.

In order to prevent people from taking the tiger talisman and giving birth to a disobedient heart, Dashun has stipulated that the generals who go out to return to the city must camp ten miles away, and wait for the commander to return to the city to restore his life, and pay the tiger talisman before returning to the city and returning to the camp.

Emperor Chengshun is overjoyed, now that the war has calmed down, Qi Xiu has made great contributions, he really deserves to be his favorite son, with great military achievements, both civil and military, he naturally wants to be rewarded, and he wants to reward what he wants most.

On the main hall, Qi Xiu was dressed in a military uniform, which was also the trust of Emperor Chengshun, otherwise it would not be suitable to be seen in a military uniform.

Qi Xiu knelt down and bowed: "The son did not fail in his mission, and finally drove the enemy back to the barbarian land, and asked his father to inspect it." ”

Emperor Chengshun was happy, and the civil and military forces in the city were also happy, and they praised Qi Xiuli for his courage and fearlessness, and the young hero, and the words of praise were not expressed.

"My son is mighty, and he has won glory for the country, and his father is naturally happy."

"The victory of this war is also due to the help of Xichang State."

Luo Wenning had already gone to the Golden Terrace to report to his father, so he was not in the main hall, but Qi Xiuli was an upright person, so naturally he would not embezzle his merits.

The civil and military officials are all tongues that see the wind and steer, and naturally they are indispensable to praise the good relations between the two countries.

Emperor Chengshun nodded, he would know Xie Luo Changqing's affection, since he was victorious, it was naturally to reward the monarch and the minister

"Father, the son has nothing else to ask for, only the father and the emperor to marry the son and the princess Xiao Ning." Qi Xiuli couldn't wait to say what he wanted.

Luo Wenning said that his father originally liked Yue'er to marry Xichangguo and his relatives, if he didn't plan early, in case Xichangguo requested, his father would be really embarrassed, and now this matter is just a plan of his father, and it has not been spread, he has to start first.

Emperor Chengshun was a little embarrassed, he originally planned to send Fei Jingyue to his relatives, and the reason why Xichangguo was willing to send troops before the matter of peace was decided this time was more or less related to Fei Jingyue, but after all, his son was his own, and he had just made military achievements at this time, if he beat the mandarin duck again, I am afraid that this courtier will have a lot of discussions, and his prestige will also be questioned.

This divorce is extremely smart, and even if he refuses to bring up this matter at this time, it is not easy to refuse, so he has to agree.

"Since Li'er has a fate with Princess Xiaoning, I think I am perfect. Princess Xiaoning gave marriage and divorced from the Seven Princes, and gave a decree on the fifteenth day of the first month. As soon as these words came out, Qi Xiuli could be regarded as letting go of his heart and hurriedly thanking him.

All the ministers said hello one after another, and the palace was happy.

Fei Fu received the news as soon as possible, although the official will has not yet come down, but it is a happy and bad people, Fei Fu is very happy, Zhang is not to say, even chanting and worshipping the Buddha, thanking the gods, Fu Qingrou is also relieved and happy, Yue'er and Qi Xiu are finally lovers and finally become married, even Fei Jingyue, who has never liked to show it, is so happy that she can't keep her mouth shut, and is teased by a few girls.

In addition to the Shu family, there is a peaceful atmosphere in the Fei Mansion.

Shu Shi was angry, originally thought that Fei Jingyue would not be able to become the seventh princess, but she didn't want to be taken into her pocket, and Fei Jingruo was afraid, Fei Jingyue can now be regarded as extremely prominent, and has become a royal person, will Fei Jingyue retaliate for the evil things she has done?

Shu Shi was so angry that everything on the table was overturned by her, and suddenly the sky swirled, and a person who shouldn't have appeared appeared in front of her eyes frightened her, and she screamed, startling Fei Jingruo, who was frightened.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
