Chapter 237: The Matter of Marriage

"You guys are so humble." Song Jie said with a smile, "It's not like us Chu people at all, when someone praises us, we all respond directly, and even more thick-skinned people even sell themselves directly, and there is no embarrassment at allβ€”β€”"

"It's not modesty, it's truth."

Song Jie saw her solemn expression, and didn't tease her anymore, but his eyes kept wandering on her face.

If people like Wan Bingyu are all mediocre in appearance, then aren't other women even more beautiful?

"Can Mrs. Wan tell me about the beauty of your country, who else is better looking than Mrs. Wan."

Wan Bingyu pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Naturally, it is Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

When it came to the princess, Song Jie was a little more excited, although he had been following Li Wenyao around the capital these days, he had not forgotten the reason for pretending to be an envoy.

He came this time to see what the princess who was going to get married to him looked like, and now when he heard Wan Bingyu say that the princess was better looking than her, Song Jie's heart moved: "Then which princess do you say is good-looking, I want to see it." ”

If he had some doubts about Song Jie's identity before, now he has no doubts.

When he talked about the princess, he was so excited, as if he was talking about his own personal affairs, which country's envoys dared to be so bold?

"I don't know." Wan Bingyu lowered her face, and didn't dare to say the name of the twelfth princess Li Wenyan at all, "The folk woman is from a humble background, but I have heard rumors related to the princess from other people's mouths, and it is said that every princess in the palace looks like a fairy and has the posture of captivating the country and the city. ”

"You haven't seen them, and you dare to say they're good-looking?"

"The princesses are all nobles, they have the best food and clothing in the palace, and their status is so noble, how can they not look good?"

This may sound a little strange, but it barely makes sense.

Song Jie nodded and made a decisive decision: "Tomorrow, I will enter the palace to ask to see the princess." ”

Just do what he said, early the next morning, Song Jie asked people to send a message to Li Wenyao, and asked him to convey the meaning of the meeting on his behalf, and Li Wenyao did so, so that morning, the twelfth princess Li Wenyan was lifted from the grounding and summoned to the imperial study.

After being locked up for a few days, Li Wenyan became much haggard.

Because of fear, she cried from time to time, and she didn't even sleep well at night, so when she appeared in front of the emperor, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was emaciated.

The emperor frowned, thinking to himself, how could he see the envoy like this?

Li Wenyao saw what the emperor was thinking, and took the initiative to suggest: "Why don't you go back to the envoy and say that it is not etiquette for men and women to meet alone, and how about waiting for a few days of palace banquet and then inviting the envoy to come and see each other?" ”

"Okay, just do as you say." The emperor looked at Li Wenyao's eyes with a little more satisfaction.

In the past, when the crown prince was not deposed, he didn't think Li Wenyao was like it, but now there are only two princes available in the court, and the emperor gradually saw his son's ability, pure temperament, and measured behavior, and more importantly, he has always been low-key, and rarely interacts with courtiers in the court, which is incomparable to the prince.

If it weren't for the fact that Lao Qi's background was too low, he really had plans to pass on the throne to him, which would be a pity......

Besides, Li Wenyan's side, after entering the imperial study for so long, the emperor did not talk to him, but told Li Wenyao about the envoys of Chu and the meeting, could it be that his father really made up his mind to marry himself to the arrogant and domineering little prince of Chu State?

No, she doesn't want to get married! I heard that the little prince has a fierce appearance, has always taken pleasure in torturing people, and does not care about human etiquette at all, and behaves obediently and out of line, if she marries, won't she be tortured by him to lose her life?

Li Wenyan would rather die than get married!

But this matter, where can she, a princess with a low status and not very favored, decide?

"Yan'er, come here." The Emperor sat behind the imperial case and beckoned to her.

Obviously, he had a kind smile on his face, but in Li Wenyan's eyes, he was like a powerful ghost who hooked her soul and asked for her life, she stepped forward tremblingly, and lowered her face.

"Father's ......"

"Why didn't Yan'er dare to raise her head? Isn't it because of the previous incident that he is still blaming his father? The Emperor's tone was slightly deep.

Li Wenyan waved her hand again and again: "No, how dare Yan'er blame his father, that incident is indeed Yan'er's fault, and Yan'er should be punished." ”

"You know." The emperor smiled gently, and gently touched Li Wenyan's cheek with his hand, "Yan'er, my father knows that you still hold a grudge against Mrs. Wan because of the mess up at the last birthday banquet, but this matter is not something that Mrs. Wan wants, although she is at fault, but she has a special identity, she is the widow of Lord Hengxin Yuanheng, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are staring at it, if something happens to her, it will definitely chill the hearts of the courtiers, so even if you hold a grudge, you must not touch her." ”

"Yan'er understands."

When the emperor got the answer he wanted, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "Look at your current appearance, people have lost a lot of weight, you must pay attention to it in the future, and you must take care of your body." ”

Li Wenyan waited for a while, but she never heard the emperor mention the matter of harmony, so she tried to be in a hurry, so she wanted to ask directly: "Father, Yan'er thinks-"

"You don't have to think about anything." The emperor didn't even want to give her a chance to speak, he directly interrupted her words, and said with a smile, "You are tired, you need to rest now, go back first, remember to recuperate well after you go back, your body is not only your personal, but also the face of the royal family, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Yan'er...... Got it. Li Wenyan nodded abruptly

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then you can retreat first." ”

Li Wenyan lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and slowly withdrew from the imperial study, she pressed the breath in her heart, and waited until she returned to the Qingyu Pavilion before she had a seizure, banging several times.

Everything that could be smashed in the room was smashed by her, and the ground was in a mess, and even more people from the Inner Guangong Palace knelt on the ground, and they didn't even dare to take a breath of air, for fear that the moody master in front of him would vent his anger on them.

"Bichun!" Li Wenyan subconsciously shouted.

A palace maid cautiously answered and said, "Your Highness, Sister Bichun has ......."

Yes, why did she forget it, Bichun had been killed by her father because of that damn Wan Bingyu, and now she may have been dragged to a mass grave and eaten by wild wolves and dogs.

It's all to blame on Wan Bingyu! She must let Wan Bingyu die a good death!

However, the most important thing at the moment is not to take revenge on Wan Bingyu, but to find a way not to be used by her father as a pawn to marry to Chu State, if she marries that moody little prince, the rest of her life will be over!

Li Wenyan tightened her sleeves and thought about it, and a face of He Nianbing suddenly popped up in her mind.

For now, if only he could help himself.
