Chapter 384: Marriage Proposal (25 more)
However, no matter how bitter he is in his heart, the emperor of the Jing Dynasty has already spoken, so he can't stop talking, right?
The head of the envoy of Na Xiyi swallowed the bitterness in his mouth hard, and then stood up and said very respectfully: "My king has heard that the princess of the Jing Dynasty is elegant and atmospheric, which can quite show the style of a great country, and I Xiyi has been in that bitter cold place for a long time, whether it is a king or an ordinary people, I can only look at the ocean and sigh even if I admire the culture of the Jing Dynasty, because the king wants to ask to marry the most noble princess of your country, while ensuring the peace of the border between the two countries, I can also let the etiquette culture of your country take root in my Xiyi, and I hope that the Holy God will approve it......."
This can be said to be a very low posture.
It is precisely because of the low posture that people feel that Xiyi's ambition is bound to win.
Think about it, if Xiyi is so sincere in asking to marry, and Jing Chao is reluctant to have a princess here, how can Xiyi people believe that Jing Chao wants to negotiate peace?
The most important thing is that Emperor Jingwen got the news from Jiang Heng early, before proposing to sue for peace this time, the great shaman of Xiyi had already asserted that if the peace between the two countries can be carried out smoothly, it is a good omen, and the belief of the Xiyi people in the shaman, it is difficult to say if Emperor Jingwen really rejected the proposal of peace, and whether this peace negotiation can have a result.
Emperor Jingwen's brows tightened more and more.
And Empress Fang, who was sitting next to Emperor Jing Wen, originally had a faint smile on her face, but now, seeing that Emperor Jing Wen didn't say the words of refusal she expected for a long time, the smile on her face gradually became stiff.
Maybe Emperor Jingwen didn't think of it yet, maybe Emperor Jingwen had already thought of it, but it was still difficult to make a choice, but as a mother who regarded her children as extremely important, Queen Fang thought of it for the first time, and now the princess of the royal family is only Princess Fanghua.
The rest of the princesses are either already married, or they are too young to kiss at all.
If Emperor Jingwen really agreed to the Xiyi people's request to marry, then, her Fanghua, which she held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, would actually go to Xiyi's bitter cold places to make peace?
Empress Fang was unacceptable no matter what.
Although it was not shown on her face, Queen Fang's hand in her sleeve was tightly clenched into a fist.
At this time, Emperor Jingwen was silent for a while before he said: "The matter of harmony, let's discuss it later, tonight is for all the Xiyi guests to receive the wind and wash the ministers, as for official affairs, we will choose another time to negotiate." ”
When the envoy heard this, although he still felt a little bad in his heart, he thought about it, but he didn't say anything more.
And the palace banquet, which was originally in an extremely relaxed and warm atmosphere, gradually became heavy after this episode, not to mention the courtiers and wives who had already reacted to what it meant to be close to each other, and even the younger generation who had not yet reacted became quiet.
Although most of these young people are not very old, and they have not yet received official errands, but no matter what, they still know how to read the eyes of adults, and now that adults are quiet, if they still talk and laugh loudly, then they don't have long eyes?
Sister Tian and Brother Tao sat down at the table.
Long ago, they had already known from Wei Fu that Xiyi would ask Jing Chao to marry the princess, so when they heard the words of Xiyi's envoy, they naturally would not be surprised, let alone talk about it.
However, Sister Tian heard the conversation of a pair of brothers and sisters on the adjacent seat.
The person who spoke was the younger sister of the two, and she hadn't thought of such a deep place, and at this time, seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was so weird, she couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Big brother, what's wrong, the Xiyi people want to ask to marry our princess, if the saint is not willing to refuse, it will be enough, how did it become like this all of a sudden?" ”
The elder brother tugged at his sister's sleeve and looked left and right a few times, before lowering his voice and explaining to his sister.
"Ahh
The young lady almost exclaimed, and just as the voice was about to escape from her throat, she covered her mouth with her hand in time, so as not to attract the attention of the others.
Then, Sister Tian heard her extremely low voice: "How is this possible?" ”
Her words represent the thoughts of most courtiers.
Princess Fanghua, that is the princess of Queen Fang, and the only princess of the royal family, has been favored by the saint and Queen Fang as a pearl since she was a child, and the saint has also said several times that she wants to choose the best husband for Princess Fanghua.
How could such a princess go to Xiyi and kiss?
If he really went to kiss, then how should the Holy Lord and Queen Fang be heartbroken?
Everybody can think of that.
Sister Tian noticed the silence between the brother and sister, and followed suit.
Just as she knew that she and her two brothers had to take on the responsibility of their family, she also knew that Princess Fanghua was of noble birth and had been favored, but if one day, when she had to make a sacrifice, she would have no way to refuse.
What kind of honor you enjoy, what kind of responsibility you should naturally bear.
Counting back many years, the Jing Dynasty and the surrounding Yi tribes have not had a relationship, and the princesses of the Jing Dynasty naturally only need to enjoy the honor and do not have to bear any responsibility, but now it is different, the Xiyi people take the initiative to marry, and the peace between the two countries is a major event that is extremely beneficial to both countries......
It's that Princess Fanghua herself is unhappy, that is, Queen Fang is not happy, even if it is the saint herself, she is reluctant, but before such a national event, what can a woman's wishes and the happiness of her life be counted?
Thinking like this, Sister Tian'er's heart is inevitably a little sour.
Obviously, these family and country events should not have anything to do with their little daughters' families, but if they are really involved, what a helpless thing is this?
"Whew!"
It took a long time for Sister Tian to exhale heavily.
She thought that it was better for herself, not to be in the position of Princess Fanghua, let alone to embarrass herself and her relatives.
Or rather......
Sister Tian actually believes that even if she really stands in the situation of Princess Fanghua, her father and mother will never sacrifice her for any reason.
This is an intuition, and such a thing has never happened at all, but Sister Tian is so inexplicably believing.
As for Princess Fanghua......
Her affairs, naturally, have the saint and the queen mother to worry about, she is just a little girl who doesn't understand anything, so don't worry about it needlessly.
Sister Tian stopped thinking about it, but focused on the various foods in front of her.
Aside from those dishes that have been completely cold, the dim sum at the palace banquet still tastes very good!
Sister Tian thought while eating.
