Chapter 239: To marry or not to marry
This place is already some distance away from the palace where the emperor held a banquet, and there is no one around, He Nianbing felt a little uneasy, so he took two steps back, and said with a cautious face: "It's Weichen who is rude, and Weichen will leave." ”
Meeting the princess in private is not a trivial matter, if it accidentally reaches the ears of the emperor, it will kill the head.
He Nianbing didn't want to die yet, so he planned to turn around and leave.
But Li Wenyan didn't know what was going on, and immediately rushed forward after seeing him turn around, a pair of soft hands tightly hugged He Nianbing's waist, and forced the person down: "Does this princess allow you to leave?" It's hard work, General Crane brought you here, but I didn't let you run away as soon as we met! ”
Everything that happened just now was indeed deliberately planned by her.
He Nianbing gently pressed the corner of her forehead, feeling a very headache: "The princess wants to see Weichen, just find a reason to meet, why do you have to ...... at such a time"
Tonight is when the emperor is feasting his ministers, if the matter gets out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean up.
"If I had the chance to see you, I would have done so."
The change in the tone of the voice behind him, He Nianbing felt it for the first time, her voice was so hoarse, it seemed to be crying, in this way, He Nianbing tried to break free of her hand, and the idea of directly pushing people away was put aside, he tightened his brows, and asked cautiously: "But the princess has encountered troubles?" ”
"There's really one thing in front of me, He Nianbing, I want you to marry me."
As soon as these words came out, He Nianbing's face became even more ugly, he didn't expect such straightforward words to come out of Li Wenyan's mouth if he wanted to break his head.
He didn't have a heart for Li Wenyan at all, so he refused: "Your Highness, your marriage is a big deal, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't let you marry a courtier easily-"
Before he could speak, Li Wenyan interrupted as if he was out of control: "You don't care if my father wants me to marry, wouldn't it be good if you marry me!" When you return to the palace later, you will tell your father in front of the courtiers that you like me and want to marry me! You are a great general who has made great achievements, and you are a person trusted by your father, if you propose to marry me, your father will definitely not refuse! ”
The marriage of the prince and princess is a major event with the state, where can it be as simple as Li Wenyan said?
He Nianbing tried to explain: "Your Highness, have you drunk, you calm down. ”
"I'm calm enough!" Li Wenyan's arm holding Henianbing's waist tightened a little, she half-lowered her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Henianbing, do you think that this princess is also willing to marry you, and this princess has no choice." Do you know why my father chose this time to entertain his ministers? ”
"To entertain the Chu State Mission?"
"How can it be so simple, he clearly wants the envoys to enter the palace, maybe he will talk about peace in front of many ministers later, and my father wants to marry me to the Chu State......"
He Nianbing's eyebrows were slightly raised.
The princess and the princess, in fact, is not a strange thing, there has been this habit since ancient times, the emperor married two princesses a few years ago, the purpose is to consolidate the regime, so that the covenant between the two countries can be stable, marry the twelve princesses and Chu State and relatives, but it is also in the process of cleaning up, what makes He Nianbing puzzled is the attitude of Her Royal Highness the princess, why is she so resistant?
"Your Highness...... Is this unwilling to marry? ”
Li Wenyan trembled and said: "I heard that the little prince of Chu State has a perverse temperament and acts violently, someone used to kill that person on the spot because he said two bad things about him in front of the emperor, and the maids in his house are also going to change a wave of people every few years, I am afraid in my heart, if I marry into Chu State, doesn't it mean that my life is not guaranteed?" Maybe that little prince will directly raise his sword to kill me in the future regardless of the friendship between the two countries, I don't want to marry! ”
He Nianbing glanced at the twelve princesses, he didn't know what was going on, he always felt that the princess in front of him didn't seem to be quite right.
Not only the way he spoke, but also the expression on his face seemed to be very different from before......
He Nianbing tried to comfort the trembling princess in front of her: "Your Highness, don't worry too much, maybe those rumors are just rumors?" What's more, Your Highness, you are a princess of a country, if something happens after marrying into the Chu State, the face between the two countries is not good-looking, you are Your Majesty's daughter, Your Majesty will definitely make decisions for you! ”
Li Wenyan gritted her teeth, almost driven crazy by the dullness of the person in front of her.
"The most important question is not whether the little prince will kill me, but me, I ......." Li Wenyan said in general, but she couldn't say it, and hesitated for a while before gritting her teeth and squeezing out two words from between her teeth, "I'm no longer a virgin, if I really marry my relatives, what if I am found out by that little prince?" ”
"What should I do if I am provoked by someone with a heart? Maybe this may cause a war between the two countries, General Tsuru, please help me, even if it's not for me, but for the people of the world, right? Are you willing to let Liang go to war and plunge the people into the swamp of war? ”
He Nianbing froze in place.
He almost forgot that now Li Wenyan is no longer perfect because of the incident of lifting a stone to hit his foot last time, and if he really wants to marry Chu State, there is indeed a possibility that something will happen, but this is not the reason for him to marry Li Wenyan.
"As far as the minister knows, there are other princesses in the palace who have reached marriageable age but have not yet married, right?"
Li Wenyan was so angry that she stomped her foot directly.
Why is this person not enlightened, obviously his words have been clear enough, but he refuses to nod!
Did he feel that he was not worthy of him, the twelve princesses?
Li Wenyan let go of her hand in annoyance, trembling with anger: "Even if there are other marriageable princesses in the palace, my father has decided on me now!" Do you want me to go directly to my father and tell me that I am no longer perfect and cannot be married? If I confess, maybe all three of us will die! ”
He Nianbing's expression changed slightly, the third person Li Wenyan said was naturally Wan Bingyu, and He Nianbing was naturally unwilling to let Wan Bingyu be involved in these things.
But he didn't want to marry Li Wenyan, because he vaguely felt that this position had to be reserved for someone, and that person was not Li Wenyan.
He Nianbing opened his mouth again and refused: "There will be other ways, Your Highness, don't worry." ”
The implication is that he would rather die than marry Li Wenyan.
Being rejected twice by the same person in a row is unbearable for ordinary people, let alone Her Royal Highness the princess Li Wenyan, who was raised in the palm of her hand, and immediately turned pale. She glared at He Nianbing fiercely, gritted her teeth and said angrily: "You will definitely regret it in the future!" ”
He Nianbing's response was just a slight shake of his head.
Li Wenyan, who was angry, couldn't care about anything else, lifted her skirt and ran quickly in the direction of Qingyu Pavilion.
Because of the mixture of grievance and anger in her heart, she had the urge to cry, so she rushed fast without paying attention to whether there was anyone on the road in front of her, which caused the person in front of her to collide with her with a bang.
