Chapter 82: The Five Princes of Qi
The county lord of Jingning made such a fuss, and the people in the capital knew that the eldest princess who did not let the eyebrows have a daughter who is infatuated with King Xian.
And this county lord dares to love and hate, and in order to chase love, he is willing to break into the city gate.
is so vigorous and resolute, even like his mother's eldest princess.
When the emperor heard the news, he was furious, specially summoned the horse into the palace, and reprimanded him fiercely, saying that if there is a next time, he will definitely not be spared again.
The royal family is the supreme existence, and the first priority in the royal family is to maintain the royal image.
Jing Ning's move is really ugly and loses the face of the royal family.
The horse, who couldn't lift his head after being trained, returned to the house and sighed repeatedly, he was caught between his daughter and his wife, and was very embarrassed.
"Husband, why are you sighing?"
The concubine frowned, "Your Majesty summoned her husband to the palace today, and she was dissatisfied with what Jing Ning had done recently. ”
The eldest princess and the emperor are compatriots of the same mother, and they know the emperor's temperament best. "Is there anything else Your Majesty can say?"
The concubine shook his head, "Your Majesty has been very angry, and he has been trained as a husband for nearly half an hour, it seems that he must be optimistic about Jingning in the future." ”
If there is a next time, it will really not end well.
The eldest princess sighed, "Husband, Jing Ning is stubborn, although this palace is fierce and beats repeatedly, but..." she shook her head slowly, "The effect is very little." ”
What the hell should she do with this wayward daughter!
"King Xian has a resolute attitude, even if he proposes marriage in person for his husband, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed."
The eldest princess hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't go, husband, Yun'er's temperament is understood by the palace, no matter what the husband says, Yun'er will not agree." ”
Moreover, she would not agree to this marriage, which was destined to be unhappy.
The pony's brows furrowed, and his head swelled and ached, "But Jingning..."
"Jingning, don't worry about it, just leave it to the palace."
The concubine gently hugged the eldest princess into his arms, and said softly: "The husband will return to the barracks today, and the matter of tranquility will be hard for the princess." ”
"Husband, the big war is coming, take care of your body. Don't worry about things at home, everything has this palace. ”
The eldest princess is a woman who says that the wind is the rain, and she has to do it.
The next day, the ladies of the family all received a post from the eldest princess's mansion for a flower-viewing banquet, and unlike in the past, this banquet can bring the son to the banquet.
At this time, everyone knows that the eldest princess's move is not the intention of the drunkard, the banquet is fake, and the choice of a good son-in-law is true.
It is an open secret that the county lord of Jingning loves King Xian, but there are still many princes who hope to marry the county lord, so that they can climb the high branch of the eldest princess and improve the status of the family.
Moreover, for them, it doesn't matter if they love it or not, what matters is what kind of benefits the Jingning County Lord can bring to them.
The marriage between high-ranking families is never premised on love, and all considerations need to be based on the interests of the family.
In order to show his support, the emperor specially let the five princes Qi Xiyu go to the banquet.
The eldest princess's mansion, which has always been closed, is rarely lively, with endless carriages, beautiful and dignified ladies, and suave sons, fragrant clothes and sideburns, so lively!
The eldest princess did not greet her at the door, she galloped on the battlefield and laid half of the country for Dongqi, so she is now under the two of them, above ten thousand people, with a noble status and a transcendent status.
And the eldest princess has always been low-key, and she doesn't like banquets, but taking the initiative to hold a banquet today is the first time in the world.
The ladies sat together and talked about homely things, and the sons gathered together to chant poems and fight each other, and in the huge pavilion, cigarettes curled up, and it was very lively.
The blue-clothed boy looked around and said mysteriously: "Have you heard, the five princes will also come in a while." ”
"What is he going to do," the face of the man in yellow changed slightly, "Does Your Majesty also have the intention of marrying?" ”
The man in blue sneered, "Isn't this obvious? The horse holds the military power, and the virtuous king is also seriously ill, if the two families are allowed to marry, the military power will be completely lost, do you think Your Majesty is willing to see this situation? ”
"Mu Yang, Hugh is talking nonsense. Your Majesty's intentions, in fact, you and I can speculate on our own. ”
The boy in blue is Li Muyang, the second son of the Ministry of Industry.
He smiled wryly, and then asked with a hippie smile: "Brother, there is no one else here, so there is no need to be so nervous." ”
Li Muchen had a cold face, "Trouble comes from the mouth, if it doesn't provoke right and wrong, I will take care of your mouth." If you let Daddy know that you are chewing the root of your tongue behind your back and causing trouble, he will definitely not spare you! ”
Li Muyang still said with a hippie smile: "Brother, don't tell your father, I won't say it." ”
"That's good."
Li Muyang looked around and asked curiously, "Why hasn't the county lord come out yet?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, why the county lord of Jingning hadn't appeared until this time, they knew it.
It's just that some things can be seen through without saying anything, and there is still a little room for each other.
If you puncture this layer of window paper, there is no light on each other's faces, this is the next policy.
At this time, a silent battle was being staged in the boudoir of the Jingning County Lord.
The mother and daughter stared at each other for a long time, and neither of them would bow their heads first.
The atmosphere was a little heavy, and the maids were silent, and they didn't dare to come out.
The eldest princess looked at the stubborn Jingning County Lord with a stubborn face expressionlessly, and asked coldly, "This palace will ask you one last time, will you go to today's banquet or not?" ”
The county lord of Jingning burst into tears and said sadly, "Mother, you can't treat me like this!" ”
"To go or not to go?"
"Mother, how can you persecute me so much!"
The eldest princess ran out of patience and turned around and left, unwilling to look at the county lord of Jingning again.
Jing Ning thought that this was the end of the matter, but she forgot that the eldest princess was not a person who was willing to admit defeat easily.
"If you don't go, then the palace will take your place, and whoever is in the picture, whether you agree or not, you will get married on a certain day."
The county lord of Jingning screamed: "Mother, you can't harm me like this!" ”
The eldest princess turned around suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened, and she sneered: "This palace harms you? Jing Ning, what qualifications do you have to question this palace! ”
"Mother, you know that I will not marry if I am not the emperor's brother in this life, and you still force me to marry a man I don't love, this is not harming me, what are you doing?"
The questions went over and over, always tangled at the origin, and the eldest princess only felt exhausted and vicissitudes.
Not being able to love is the most painful thing. Be a close friend, unwilling; To be a brother and sister, unwilling; Be a lover, no chance.
It's too hard to want to love; I want to forget, I can't forget; I want to put it down, but I can't put it down.
This feeling of not being able to advance and retreat is really tormenting.
Jing Ning thought about it, since there was no way back, he had to go forward, maybe one day, there would be no way out, and there would be another village.
It's just that no matter how beautiful the idea is, reality is reality after all, and there is no human touch at all.
She doesn't know that people who don't love you can't ask for it, can't keep it, and will eventually leave.
And, those who can't love it, if they are too obsessed, it will be a heart-rending disaster.
"Whether you love it or not, Yun'er won't marry you. Jingning, when will you be willing to give up self-deception and be willing to open your eyes to see the facts. ”
The eldest princess sighed heavily, "Jingning, mother also has selfish intentions, if you marry Yun'er, you will only suffer in the future." ”
Jing Ning wept bitterly, why did they look close to each other, but in fact, they were separated by a heavy fog.
"Mother, I really love him, I don't care about myself, I have no regrets."
How can this kid be so stubborn!
The eldest princess gently hugged her and comforted her gently, "Fate can't be forced, the twisted melons and fruits are not sweet, quiet and peaceful, sometimes giving up is also a kind of redemption." ”
Don't waste time anymore, the years are quiet, let go of yourself and others.
"Mother don't say any more, I don't want to hear it." Jing Ning covered her ears and shook her head again and again, she burst into tears, and died of heartache.
The eldest princess took her hand and forced Jing Ning to look into her eyes, "Jing Ning, if you promise to give up this doomed relationship, then Mother will not force you to participate in today's banquet." If you are obsessed, then don't blame your mother for being ruthless. ”
Jing Ning was speechless and choked, and her eyes were hazy with tears.
"This palace will give you half a pillar of incense time to think about it, and after thinking about it, let Yan Hong inform this palace."
After speaking, she didn't stop, and returned the tranquility of Jingning's room.
"The eldest princess has arrived~"
"The Five Princes have arrived~"
Everyone hurriedly got up, saluted the two respectfully, and said, "See the eldest princess, see the fifth prince." ”
The eldest princess smiled lightly: "You don't have to be so restrained, sit down." ”
The fifth prince also said lightly: "Sit down." ”
Then everyone sat down, everyone look at me, I look at you, and they are all silent.
"Aunt Huang, where is Jingning?"
The eldest princess said lightly: "Jing Ning is thinking about it facing the wall. ”
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of the fifth prince's mouth, "Aunt Huang, what's wrong with Jing Ning, why do you have to think about it in front of the wall?" ”
The eldest princess's face did not change, "Jing Ning acted recklessly and deserved to be punished." ”
"Aunt Huang, Xi Yu has a reluctant request."
The eldest princess turned her head, smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, and asked gently, "Xi Yu said it's okay." ”
Qi Xiyu said loudly: "Don't hide it from the imperial aunt, Xi Yu came today, one is to visit the imperial aunt, and the other is to propose to the imperial aunt. ”
Propose? Everyone was in an uproar, they never expected that before the banquet began, the five princes couldn't wait to pierce this layer of window paper.
When the eldest princess heard this, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she asked with a faint face, "What does Xi Yu mean by this?" ”
Qi Xiyu smiled slightly, and said very heartily: "Don't hide it from the imperial aunt, Xi Yu has loved Jingning for more than two years, but Jingning has the third emperor brother in her eyes, and she can't see Xi Yu's existence." ”
"Since Xi Yu knows that Jing Ning is concerned about Yun'er, why do you want to ask to marry Jing Ning at this time."
Qi Xiyu was not roundabout, and said very bluntly: "Because, Xi Yu only confirmed today that Jing Ning will definitely not marry the Third Emperor Brother." ”
The eldest princess's expression did not change, but everyone looked at each other, if it weren't for the eldest princess who hadn't spoken, they couldn't wait to get up and say goodbye immediately.
There are some things that the less you know, the longer you can live.
The eldest princess was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Today is a flower viewing banquet, and the protagonist is naturally these beautiful flowers. Time is good, don't let things ruin the nature. ”
Qi Xiyu took retreat as advance, and said with a light smile, "What the imperial aunt said is very true, but Xi Yu is rude, please don't blame the imperial aunt." ”
"It doesn't matter." The eldest princess smiled and said: "It is a flower viewing banquet, it is better for everyone to write a poem, if it is even the heart of the palace, the palace will be rewarded." ”
Qi Xiyu leaned lazily on the chair, but smiled silently.
Through Fang Cai's words, he was already sure that the imperial aunt was not willing to marry Jing Ning to him.
However, he is bound to win Jingning, because this is his only chance!
