Chapter 3 The Two Countries Seek Marriage
Five years have passed in a flash, and Yun Yuhong can already run all over the ground with her bag and head. In the past five years, Yunyuhong's children have created countless topics and legends.
First of all, Yun Yuhong is a prodigy, she walks earlier than other children, and when other children walk swaying, she has already walked very steadily; She speaks earlier than other children, and she can already speak long sentences while other children are still babbling; Literacy is faster than other children, and when other children are still recognizing a word over and over again, she only needs to look at it a few times. And this unlucky other child is the eldest daughter of the sixth emperor brother of Qianzong, Xuan Wang Yunduo, and the county lord Yun Dieyi.
Secondly, Yun Yuhong is a little monster, she refused to eat milk after she could eat staple food, but the amount of food without milk has skyrocketed, two bowls of rice and one steamed bun for a meal, catching up with the amount of food of an adult man, this strength is much greater, at the beginning of the swaddling clothes, as long as she was grabbed by her little hands, it took half a day to pull it away, and then as long as she held it, it would be red and swollen, and just a few days ago, Granny Liu's wrist was "accidentally" pulled and fractured by her, and now in this palace, no one dares to approach her easily.
In the end, Yun Yuhong's personality is not like a delicate princess, that is, a female overlord, who is not very good-tempered, speaks directly, and often chokes people speechless; Doing things is refreshing, and she has always said that she is the same, as long as she wants to, there is nothing that cannot be done; And what puzzled Qianzong and the queen the most was the domineering spirit on his daughter, what he didn't have in a dignified emperor was seen in his daughter.
Yun Yuhong is running, but it's not running, she is running circles around the garden wall, and she has resumed the training habits of her previous life when she can walk steadily, running in the morning one by one, followed by Wang Nanniang, she has been sweating profusely at the beginning three months ago, and now her breath is slightly panting, Yun Yuhong is still very satisfied with her progress. As for Granny Liu and the four palace maids, they had already found various reasons to avoid them.
After running the last lap, just as the hour had arrived, the two walked back to prepare for breakfast, and a palace maid next to the queen ran over: "Eldest princess, the queen mother asked you to pack up and hurry up, she wants to take you to the queen mother to say goodbye."
There was no exception to this matter, and it was done every day, but Yun Yuhong said that every day she wasted her morning exercise time to see an emotionless smiling face and listen to a bunch of unfocused words, which affected her appetite and wasted her life, so she thought of a way once and for all, that is, every time she went to Ci'an Palace to ask for peace, she was very enthusiastic to "make love" with the Queen Mother, holding the Queen Mother's arm to "withdraw Jiao", and the result was either to damage the Queen Mother's clothes and accessories, or to leave a few bruises on the Queen Mother's body, no way, she is a child, It's not a big deal. Since then, the smile on the Queen Mother's face has become weaker and weaker, and when she saw her pounce, she tried her best to hide, until one day she sent someone to say: "The Queen Mother is unwell, and the Imperial Doctor let her recuperate in the morning, so as to avoid everyone's greetings."
The queen is even more unhappy to go to Ci'an Palace every day to suffer, every time she goes to the queen mother, she will not give her a good face, although she will not be embarrassed, but in front of her, she shush the four concubines and ask for warmth, but she is not comfortable in her heart. Since she can not go to ask for peace, she will not take the initiative to go, today I am afraid that the queen mother specially summoned her, the purpose is not unexpected, absolutely not good.
Yun Yuhong quickly changed her clothes and came to the Queen Mother's Ci'an Palace with the queen. In addition to the Queen Mother, Qianzong and some concubines have already arrived, and the most conspicuous ones are the three young people who don't know. The man in white sitting at the head of the Queen Mother is in his twenties and looks handsome, but what makes people unhappy is the arrogance on his face, as if he is looking at people with his nostrils; The man sitting opposite him was dressed in black, and looked very scary, with only one eye, and the other eye was wearing an eye patch, and his expression was very grim; The woman next to her was seventeen or eighteen years old, and her appearance was only delicate, but she was dressed luxuriously, and she also looked like she was above the top.
After the queen took Yun Yuhong to meet everyone, Qianzong pointed to the man in white and introduced: "This is Qi Yifei, the fifth prince of Zeyu Kingdom. He pointed to the man in black on the opposite side and said, "This is Bai Zifeng, the second prince of the Jade Snow Country, and Bai Yumei, the seventh princess. The crowd saluted each other again and then sat down again.
Yun Yuhong couldn't help but be a little surprised, there must be something wrong with the arrival of these two princes at the same time, and the expressions of these two people were obviously competing with each other, and their attitudes were very arrogant, and their intuition told her that this was not a good thing. And in the next conversation, Yun Yuhong understood what happened, it turned out that these two princes were here to ask for marriage, and the object was Qianzong's sister, her imperial aunt, Princess Yuxiang, who will turn fifteen years old this year and will be married next month. However, it is not a good thing for this family to have two women to ask for it, if it is from the perspective of ordinary people, it is a big deal to offend a family, and at most they will not get along with each other in the future, this is a marriage between two countries, which is related to national interests, and if it is not done well, the two countries will go to war, and the lives will be ruined.
As we all know, the word "courtship" is a good word, but in fact it is better to say "harmony". There are five countries in the world today, the Jade Snow Country in the north, the Chiyan Country in the south, the Zeyu Country in the west, and the Ruifeng Country in the east, but the Moyun Country happens to be among these countries, and its strength is the weakest of these countries. It's just that due to geographical constraints, these countries must first pass through Moyun if they want to take other countries, and Moyun has become a barrier to the security of several countries, which undoubtedly makes Moyun's situation very embarrassing, any country wants to attack Moyun, and several other countries will help Moyun, and no one will want to let a powerful country come to their own bedside. But this does not mean that the life of Moyun Country is any better, and several countries will not make Moyun strong, and they often bully a few times, such as fighting a few battles as training soldiers, and then asking for some property as compensation, or letting Princess Moyun go to make peace, indicating that we still have a very good relationship, and the implication is: It is better for Moyun Country to favor our country or remain neutral, otherwise it will make you look good. And the most bitter thing is the princesses of Moyun Kingdom, all of them are with other countries when they become adults, without exception, and sometimes the daughters of the princes are pulled over to make up the number if the number is insufficient. Of course, you don't have to think about it, few of these princesses who married far away lived a long life or lived happily, and most of them died at a young age.
Qianzong was also in a dilemma during this time, a daughter could not marry twice, and he didn't want to offend the two countries, and the queen mother proposed to meet the envoys of the two countries at this time, saying that there might be some turning points if she wanted to mediate, so there was this meeting. And after saying a few words, the two parties began to refrain from giving in to each other again, and after arguing for a while, there was no solution, so they threw the problem to Qianzong.
Qi Yifei, the fifth prince, said: "Your Majesty, Zeyu and Moyun have been married for generations, but the princess who Moyun was going to marry five years ago unfortunately passed away, and now there is finally a chance to marry the two countries again, and it is the first proposal of my country, I believe that Your Majesty will carefully consider my country's request." ”
'Joke, Yu Xueguo and Mo Yunguo are not generations married, and besides, which family is not chosen to marry a daughter, as long as the family is not decided, you can ask for marriage, but there is no such thing as first come, first come. Yuxue Kingdom has not married the princess of Moyun for almost twenty years, and the relationship between these two countries is a little light, this time it is rare to have such an opportunity, I believe that Your Majesty will take the two countries as the most important. The second prince, Bai Zifeng, did not give in, and his words had clearly revealed the meaning of coercion.
Qianzong's face was angry, but he was patient. The Queen Mother glanced at Yun Yuhong and said with a smile: "Why should the two princes be in a hurry, let alone fight, Moyun Kingdom is not only one princess now, although Furui is still young, but she is the eldest princess of our country, her status is noble, although she can't get married immediately, she can also set up a family affair now, this child is growing up fast, and it will be over in a few years, the marriage between the two countries is not only the good of the two surnames, but also the friendship of the two countries, but it is a good thing for the blessing of all the people." ”
Everyone was stunned, Qianzong and the queen's faces were as pale as snow, although the princesses of Moyun Kingdom could not escape the fate of their relatives, but it was the first time in history that they were set to be married at the age of five, and everyone couldn't help but look at the unlucky princess who was sold by her own grandmother with sympathetic eyes.
Yun Yuhong's children have experienced a series of changes and discomforts, they have already had super adaptability, and their nerves have become extremely rough, no matter how strange things are, no matter how sudden the situation comes to her, it has become light and clear, and there is no ripple. What's more, the queen mother who has always guarded against her, and even wanted to kill her from the beginning. Yun Yuhong didn't pay attention to everyone's eyes, but looked at his father, after all, everything depends on her father.
Qianzong's face was ugly, but he gritted his teeth again and didn't say anything, which made Yun Yuhong disappointed again. However, the second prince Bai Zifeng snorted and said: "The Queen Mother's words are true, but I am not interested in marrying a milk doll." ”
Qi Yifei, the fifth prince on the other side, was secretly thinking: these two are princesses, but the weight is different, Princess Yuxiang is a concubine, and she has nothing but the title of princess, but this Princess Furui is different, the daughter of the queen, her maternal ancestor is the Zhao family of the Marquis of Jingyuan, and it will be much more useful in the future, but it is useless to fight for this breath now. So he kept silent, although he did not express his position, but compared to the words of the second prince, his silence was to accept the marriage with this five-year-old little princess.
Qianzong opened his mouth to speak, but was preempted by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's face was filled with a joyful smile: "Okay, good, the second prince, Yuxiang will marry into the Yuxue Country, do you think it's good?" ”
The seventh princess Bai Yumei pulled the sleeve of the second prince, and the second prince also reacted a little, but the words were not easy to change, and she could only answer: "It is as the queen mother said."
So, the Queen Mother looked at the fifth prince Qi Yifei again, but before the words came out, she heard a crisp children's voice: "Slow!" ”
