Chapter 55: The Right Person
As soon as these words came out, He Mengxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Xie understands, it is not really necessary to keep filial piety for three years, or one year, or at the worst half a year, just to be a child. ”
Si Chong smiled and nodded: "This is commendable!" ”
He Mengxi said again: "Don't dare to go to the palace to disturb, the Pingnan palace is okay, the coming day is long, slowly consider, there is a good place to go, and then move out of the palace!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Si Chong was slightly surprised, so he looked at Ling Zixu.
Ling Zixu hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister has vacated the Hecui Palace in the palace for Princess Chen Guo to live in, it happened suddenly, the minister feels that Princess Chen Guo needs an adaptation period, and the palace can make a transition, Your Majesty can rest assured, the minister will do his best to do this well." ”
After hearing what he said, Si Chong's eyes became meaningful when he looked at Ling Zixu, and he seemed to chuckle.
At this moment, the chamberlain came to report, and King Lu Sijue came to see him.
Si Chongyi frowned, looked at He Mengxi, he didn't want to let him in, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind and said, "Let him come in!" ”
Before the words fell, Si Jue hurriedly went up to the main hall.
"I've seen my father and the queen!" Si Jue knelt down to worship.
"Get up, Si Jue, you came in a hurry, why are you here?" Si Chong asked.
"Father!" Si Jue swiped upward, turned his head to look at He Mengxi again, and said, "The child has a reluctant request." ”
"Oh? You said! Si Chong frowned.
"The marriage of the two families of Shu and Chen is a great thing, the son is not talented, he invited himself to marry the princess of Chen State, not to mention, the father and the emperor also promised the son earlier, the son and the minister thought about it, and could not miss the opportunity, I hope that the father will be kind!"
Although Si Chong was mentally prepared, he didn't expect him to say it so bluntly, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and just about to have a seizure, he saw Chen Che, the deputy envoy of Chen Guo, stand up.
He looked solemn and saluted Si Jue: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Lu, is there a concubine?" The princess of my dynasty is the emperor's own sister, and it is impossible to be a concubine, so it is better not to force it if you are not qualified. ”
Si Jue didn't care, his eyes widened and said: "Of course, how can the princess be a concubine, since she came to my country, she must be a concubine, as long as the princess agrees to my proposal, I will leave the concubine!" ”
Si Jue said it easily, but Chen Che shook his head again and again, stood aside, and stopped talking.
Si Chong snorted: "Nonsense, you are the prince, your concubine is the daughter of Shi Lao Shangshu, she was hired by three media and six to marry into the door, give birth to children for you, and take care of the palace, how can you say that you will take a break?" You are not afraid that Shi Laoshangshu will come to me to make trouble, I am still afraid, this matter must not be mentioned again, step down! ”
Si Jue's eyes kept sweeping towards He Mengxi, unscrupulous, scorching and shining, and He Mengxi was uncomfortable when he saw it.
Si Jue felt that his eyes were full, he heard early this morning that Princess Chen Guo had entered the palace to meet him, in order to see the beauty, he found the right time, of course he knew that it was not easy to get rid of the princess, he just came to test it.
The princess Chen Guo he saw today was really beyond his imagination, the prestige of "General Jade-faced Beauty" is really worthy of his reputation, he was deceived by Ling Zixu before, and now, the truth is revealed, Chen Meiyu is a big beauty, such a beauty, I can't find a few in Shu Kingdom, no, I can't cheap Ling Zixu's guy.
Si Jue saw enough, and said with a smile: "Father, since the son is no longer qualified, if you want to come, King Pingnan is also not qualified, and he also has a concubine!" ”
Si Chong said helplessly: "That's natural, you are all unqualified, this matter will be discussed later, it is not good to say these things in front of the princess, you can go down." ”
Si Jue smiled defiantly at Ling Zixu, glanced at He Mengxi greedily a few times, and then walked away satisfied.
He Mengxi only felt like he had eaten a fly, and he felt sick in his heart, but he had to hold the shelf, and for a moment, he saw Ling Zixu.
Ling Zixu stood there, his expression was slightly distempered, his fists were clenched in his hanging sleeves, and his eyes were full of indignation, and even the corners of his mouth were trembling slightly.
He Mengxi suddenly felt much happier, and she actually felt a little funny, lowered her head, hiding herself and not letting others see her smile.
The chief envoy of the Chen State was repeatedly forced by the deputy envoy, and seemed to feel that his face was a little unbearable, so he stood up and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I thank Your Majesty on behalf of the new emperor for treating my princess well, the dowry prepared will be delivered in the near future, I will return to China in a few days, and the follow-up matters need to be finalized as soon as possible." ”
Si Chong nodded: "Rest assured, the envoy will never treat the princess badly, as for the follow-up matters, Ling Zixu, you will be responsible!" ”
"Command!" Ling Zixu agreed quickly, the haze on his face was swept away, and the corners of his mouth were tugged, as if he was happy.
The so-called follow-up is nothing more than the placement of the princess, and the other is to choose with relatives.
Who to make peace with, this has to be chosen from the unmarried princes of Shu.
For this reason, Si Chong summoned Ling Zixu and other courtiers in Zhenxu Palace the next day, discussed for a long time, and unanimously felt that the sixteen-year-old Wei Wang Siming was the best candidate.
The other princes are either married, or they are too young, although Princess Chen Guo is nineteen years old, fortunately, she still has to keep filial piety, I am afraid that it will take a year and a half to become a gift, but there is no need to worry.
Ling Zixu wanted to inform the envoys of Chen of the results of the discussion, so he came out of the palace gate and rode to the Honglu Pavilion where the envoys of Chen were entertained.
Came to the door of the Honglu Pavilion, the guards went in to report, and after a while, Chen Qi and Chen Che came out to greet him, and courtesy went to the living room of the hall.
Ling Zixu explained his intentions, and then said a lot of praise for Wei Wang Siming, meaning that this is a match made in heaven, a rare match made in heaven.
Chen Qi didn't say anything, but the deputy envoy Chen Che objected, saying that King Wei was young, and then shook his head again and again.
Chen Qi didn't think so, Chen Che chattered, saying what kind of hero my princess is, and her peerless appearance is only afraid that Shu Kingdom will not find a matching person.
But Chen Qi replied: "Yes, at first, I was going to ask her to be the concubine of the emperor of Shu, but it was a match!" ”
Chen Che said angrily: "That's even more mismatched, the new emperor just pushed the princess into the fire pit." ”
Chen Qi sneered: "You are just a dog in front of the old emperor, if you didn't beg to come over, if it weren't for your father's face, where do you think you would be now." ”
Fortunately, the two of them immediately stopped when they said this, knowing that it was inappropriate to say this in front of Ling Zixu again, so they didn't say any more.
Ling Zixu had no choice but to laugh and leave.
Ling Zixu left the Honglu Pavilion, still with lingering palpitations, their original marriage partner turned out to be Si Chong, the emperor of Shu State?
Fortunately, it was not implemented, fortunately, the prince Siming was decided, and fortunately, it was .......
In fact, Ling Zixu understood that the new emperor of Chen Guo categorically would not let Princess Chen Guo go back, and he called her a proton, but he just used her as a proton.
