Chapter 69: Looking for Bai Suyue
As soon as she entered the palace, Liu Qianwen saw the emperor and the queen drinking tea together, and she was a little surprised, shouldn't this be the scene of interrogation, why is this like this?
Just as he was about to salute, the emperor suddenly waved his hand, "No need to salute, this is the queen's bedroom, and Concubine Liu can be more casual." ”
"Your Majesty." Having said that, Liu Qianwen still bowed down slightly and thanked her, and then at the queen's suggestion, she found a chair in the hall and sat down.
"I don't know what the emperor suddenly announced that Qianwen entered the palace, what is the so-called?" Liu Qianwen looked at the emperor cautiously, she was Nan Wuyang's person, and she was holding Nan Wuyang's thigh.
Although some of the knots between the emperor and Nan Wuyang were untied not long ago, the knot is likely to become bigger and bigger before it is completely untied.
She was worried that the emperor would listen to what others said about the mess again, which would bring down the situation that she had built up with great difficulty.
"It's not a big deal, Beiyue sent a document to sue for peace, they intended to marry with our country and sent a princess over, and the mission is estimated to arrive in three months." The emperor glanced at Liu Qianwen.
"Two months later is the emperor's birthday, which is a great joy." The queen on the side put down the teacup in her hand and said very dignifiedly.
"Qianwen, first wish the emperor a long life and good health." Liu Qianwen got up and saluted upwards, but she was very entangled in her heart, she only knew that there was an envoy from Beiyue, why did she add another princess?
And this kind of thing doesn't need to be asked about her, she is just King An's side concubine.
Nan Wuyang is a prince, so asking such a question will only make people feel that the emperor wants Nan Wuyang to marry this princess, and today he came to remind Liu Qianyang of the situation.
However, even if it is a reminder, Bai Suyue should be allowed to come, and the emperor's move has to make people think about it.
Thinking of this, Liu Qianwen felt that the smile on her face was about to stiffen, did the emperor want her to fight with Bai Suyue?
"Concubine Liu has a heart, sit down." Emperor Longyan Dayue, "After all these years, I am also old. ”
The queen on the side chuckled lightly, "The emperor is in the prime of life, why is he old, but the palace is old and decrepit, and the emperor is specially here to remind him." ”
Liu Qianwen listened to them joke one by one, and couldn't help but sigh that if they were ordinary people, these two in front of them would definitely be an enviable loving couple.
It's a pity, but this is the palace, a place where dreams are not allowed, even if it is really enviable, it is just a scene, Liu Qianwen secretly bit her tongue, trying to make herself sober.
The emperor's suspicion of Nan Wuyang in front of him has not been eliminated.
"Your Majesty, the queen's mother, the two of you have supported each other for decades, and now you are showing off your affection in front of Qianwen, in my opinion, you two are getting younger and younger." Liu Qianwen simply pretended, anyway, these two people let her show affection, and she will die of this pair of ancients!
The queen was the first to be embarrassed, and glared at her with some seriousness in her eyes, but her face was full of uncontrollable smiles.
"You little girl is getting better and better at coaxing the palace to be happy, but King An is going to Beiyue today, and there is Bai Suyue, the concubine in the house, which hurts you."
The queen's words made Liu Qianwen's heart sink slightly, she knew that the main topic was coming.
"Yes, I summoned you to the palace today, firstly, I want you to help think about which prince is suitable, and secondly, I also want the queen to comfort and comfort you, don't worry too much, King An is my brother, he has led troops since he was a child, he is resourceful, my 200,000 army is unstoppable, and it will be fine."
The emperor's words were a little tempting, one was to test whether this princess of Beiyue could let Nan Wuyang accept it, and the other was to test whether Nan Wuyang had a rebellious heart.
This time, the emperor deliberately returned the 200,000 army talisman to Nan Wuyang again, what it represents, only the emperor himself, as well as Nan Wuyang and Liu Qianyu, who understand.
Liu Qianwen smiled without changing her face, "Thank you for the emperor's care, Qianwen understands, please rest assured that the prince will not have a hard time living up to the emperor." ”
"If only you could understand." The emperor looked at Liu Qianwen with a smile, and Liu Qianwen's scalp was numb when she was watched.
"Didn't the emperor want Qianwen to think about which prince was suitable to marry Princess Beiyue? That Qianwen has one more sentence here, if the analysis is not good, please don't blame the emperor and queen. ”
"Concubine An Liu said." The Emperor sat above and nodded slowly.
"Although the emperor's descendants are prosperous and there are many princes, but after analyzing them one by one, Qianwen feels that there is no suitable prince." Liu Qianwen said.
"Let's not talk about the princes and princes who are far away in the border passes and fiefdoms, just say that the princes and nobles who are currently in the imperial city are only the eldest prince, His Royal Highness King Jin Yu and King An, the fifth prince."
"King Jin Yu is the uncle of the emperor and King An, the status is precious, if he wants to marry, he must be the eldest princess with the same status, I heard that the eldest prince and the fifth prince have many concubines, I heard that a few days ago the concubine returned to the house, Beiyue took the initiative to make peace this time, and after the war between my dynasty and Beiyue, its significance is self-evident, we must not let Beiyue feel that our dynasty does not attach importance to this marriage."
"Speaking of King An, he is the husband of Qianwen, and there is already a concubine, Qianwen is not good to say anything, but King An is now going to Beiyue, and the return date is uncertain, when it comes to harmony, he naturally can't let the prince who is still on the battlefield get engaged to the princess, so it seems that Qianwen thinks that there is no prince in Beijing who can make peace with the princess for the time being."
After hearing this, the corners of the emperor's lips showed a curve that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "I have been thinking about it for the past few days, and I can't make up my mind, so I want to ask you and the queen what they mean." "Baidu
"But in this way, this time the princess came to marry, can't we find a prince to marry? That doesn't make it seem like I'm nobody. The queen looked worried.
"Your Majesty, since Princess Beiyue came in person, and there are still two months to arrive, Qianyue thinks that she might as well wait, and when the princess arrives, you can introduce her one by one, and let the princess choose the right one by herself, so that it can also reflect the importance that my dynasty attaches to the marriage with Beiyue, and secondly, you can also let Beiyue see, my dynasty is a hero."
Liu Qianyu's back was already drenched in sweat, and the emperor and queen obviously wanted King An to marry Princess Heqin, but Nan Wuyang was not there, and she couldn't make a decision for Nan Wuyang.
Besides, there is a princess An above her, and she can't do anything.
The most important point is that she doesn't want any more women around Nan Wuyang, if she can, she doesn't even want Bai Suyue to admit it, but she has nothing to do.
Nan Wuyang himself didn't mean to say that he would be a couple for a lifetime, he only said that he would not lose her.
But what she wanted, it wasn't.
"That's very good." The emperor nodded very satisfied, "Then do what Concubine Liu wants, and wait for the Beiyue delegation to arrive in Beijing, and then discuss the matter of peace in detail." ”
"Bengong said that Qianwen has the most ghost ideas, and she must be able to make suggestions instead of Wuyang."
The queen looked at Liu Qianwen with a smile, just clenched her fists, betraying her heart at the moment, today the emperor went to her palace to say this, she guessed that the emperor intended to let King An marry Princess Beiyue after returning to Beijing.
When summoning Liu Qianwen into the palace, she didn't expect her to postpone this matter in a few words, which almost made the queen bite a mouthful of silver teeth.
"Let the queen smile, Qianwen is a woman, so she can say a few words about these things." Liu Qianwen pretended not to know and said a word, so angry that the queen almost couldn't hold back.
"Concubine An Liu, don't be modest, what about this palace, I also want you to arrange two programs, and when the time comes, you will perform on the emperor's birthday, you have to do it well, and you are not allowed to shirk." The queen looked at Liu Qianwen with a smile.
Liu Qianwen's heart sank, sure enough, is the queen going to show her true face? Isn't it just two programs, "Don't worry, the queen will definitely arrange it." I don't know what else happened to the emperor and the queen, Qianwen has not been feeling well in recent days, and wants to retire first. ”
"It's okay, you can go home and rest, don't think about it." The queen said with a smile.
But this sentence clearly means to think more! Coupled with the matter of Princess Beiyue today, she really didn't dare to talk nonsense.
The emperor on the side didn't say much, and only asked her to take care of her life, and let people send her out of the palace and return home.
It wasn't until she got out of the hall that Liu Qianwen couldn't help but trot under the porch, holding on to a stone pillar and retching.
She really hates herself, she says yes so hypocritically, she wants to live freely, she wants to leave all this, but she can't, she promised Nan Wuyang's words, she has to do it.
"Concubine Liu is not feeling well, so the slave will go to the imperial doctor for you." The eunuchs around the emperor were all human spirits, and when they saw that she was unwell, they turned around and wanted to call someone.
When Liu Qianwen heard this, she immediately stopped her and said, "No need, I just have some stomach discomfort, I can go back." After speaking, Liu Qianwen turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
If she hadn't been suddenly summoned today, she wouldn't have known that it was the emperor's birthday.
However, this should be something arranged by Bai Suyue, and the queen really wants her to be an enemy of Bai Suyue.
Although, it is not difficult for the queen to let her arrange the show, and any girl from Huayue Garden can shock the four seats.
It's just that she Liu Qianwen is just a side concubine, how can she go past Princess An to arrange?
I don't know if Nan Wuyang can rush back that day, and if not, what should she do?
"Damn, don't tell me before you leave." Liu Qianwen gritted her teeth, no matter how uncomfortable she was, she still decided to go to Bai Suyue.
There is also the matter of Princess Beiyue and her relatives, the emperor clearly intends to let Nan Wuyang come to marry, today she deliberately stirred up the muddy waters to suppress this, but it is a matter of time before and in, and I don't know how long it can be delayed.
Thinking of this, Liu Qianwen's whole person was not good.
Back in the house, Liu Qianwen went directly to Bai Suyue, and Bai Suyue naturally wouldn't give her a good face.
All of Nan Wuyang's previous arrangements, including not letting her see Liu Qianwen, made her concubine lose face, she has always wanted to find Liu Qianyan's stubble, but unfortunately, there is no chance.
Now, Liu Qianwen is automatically sent to the door, how can she let it go?
"Sister, it's really a big shelf, if it weren't for the prince's visit, you wouldn't be ready to come to see my sister, right?" Bai Suyue gritted her teeth, thinking of that period of aggrieved days, she became more and more angry in her heart.
