Chapter 340: Candidates for Succession
Shi Wang recalled that when he was a child, he also had something to say.
My father only loves Xiaojin, and he can only be praised when he is practicing martial arts and improving, and the rest of the time, it is not as long as staying with Uncle Xiugu.
And the mother rarely talks to herself, very indifferent, even if she understands her intentions later, the loneliness of childhood is still a cold in her mind that is difficult to dissipate.
And even as the eldest son, Yu Ming did not receive much care from his father, and only received extremely strict requirements. But even though he learned a lot from Uncle Ling at that time, his father never praised him, nor did he believe him, as if he was just using him as a tool to inherit the throne.
Of the three siblings, only Yu Jin spent a carefree childhood, and was unaware of the worries of outsiders.
Zhong Sili's words caused her to think, sometimes what parents do may be unintentional, but in the hearts of children, it may have a different meaning.
Zhong Sili is Yu Jin's second child, maybe the one who receives less attention, but that doesn't mean that her parents don't love her, it's just that sometimes they don't have so much time to spend on her.
But in Zhong Sili's heart, she just felt that her parents didn't love her anymore, and she regarded Shi Wang as a mother-like person, wanted to get warmth from her, and was unwilling to leave, even at the expense of staying away from her family, marrying someone she didn't like very much, and staying in the palace, just to get a trace of care from her family and care wholeheartedly.
But this is not true, at least not in Shi Wang's mind.
She had already told Zhong Sili the words of refusal, but she didn't know if she could think it through.
The day after her establishment is approaching, and she hopes that Zhong Sili can think clearly that staying here is not a long-term solution, and she cannot replace her parents to give companionship and love.
All she is looking for is empty emotion.
Even if she can get some comfort from herself, she can't be with her permanently.
She needed to reject her harshly, but now that choice was in the hands of King Li.
In King Li's heart, he hoped that she would stay, even though he didn't know why this girl stayed.
On the day after the election, Shi Wang stood beside King Li, and made a choice among the princesses with him, and the one who was chosen became the queen of the son, enjoying glory and wealth, and being respected among all the tribes. And those who are not selected may have to return to the country of the clan and gain nothing.
What made Shi Wang's heart ache a little was that Zhong Sili was still standing in the queue, and after continuing to participate in the election, her expression still had the usual smile, but she still looked a little stiff.
Even if she had made her words clear, she couldn't change what she was thinking.
Shi Wang sighed secretly.
King Li was in high spirits, standing in front of everyone, and thanked the princesses for coming from afar, which was the trust of Zi Xian, and also expressed the friendship of all ethnic groups.
The princesses also thanked His Majesty King Li, and they were very honored.
Just as King Li was about to announce the choice of queen, Shi Wang grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "Don't choose Zhong Sili." ”
King Li was very surprised, and cast a suspicious look at her, Shi Wang nodded at him, confirming his meaning.
"Your Majesty, it's time to announce the candidates."
The squire reminded beside him.
King Li frowned, very puzzled, and said to everyone: "The queen candidate in this king's heart is ......"
He glanced back at Princess Yuanping, but Princess Yuanping just had a cold face, and he couldn't see what his feelings were.
"This king will set up the princess of Heguo, and the princess of Suguo will be the queen, so as to tie the good of all countries and keep peace for a hundred years."
Hearing this, Shi Wang could only close his eyes helplessly.
This result was also something she expected.
King Li is not a person who can listen to himself wholeheartedly, and in this matter, although he has blocked some of them, he still can't change the situation.
Princess Suguo is the candidate she wants to choose, and there are five clans standing behind her, which is of great significance to the peace of the clan.
King Li didn't listen to her words, but still set up Sili according to his wishes, and in order to appease Princess Yuanping, he set up Princess Suguo, so it can be regarded as a back and forth.
The two princesses in the audience were naturally happy when they learned that they had been selected, and immediately knelt down and thanked for their grace.
The courtiers present also congratulated the king on having a queen and being able to marry a hundred families.
After everyone praised him, King Li took out two princesses and accepted the praise of the ministers with him.
And Zhong Sili never looked at Shi Wang again during the whole process, but she could feel that she seemed to be a little timid.
After all the etiquette, King Li was about to leave the palace with the two new queens, when a call suddenly came out of the crowd.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that other princesses can still choose among the civil and military generals of Zixi, and they can still have the opportunity to get married?"
When I looked back, I saw that Princess Bao'er stood out of the crowd and was asking questions, which was very eye-catching.
King Li replied: "This king did say this. If Princess Bao'er is an interested person, she can tell the king or the queen mother another day that she will be the princess's master. ”
"There's no need to change the day," Princess Bao'er ran to King Li with a smile and jumped, knelt down not far from him, and said, "I want to bow to General Qi Ping, and ask King Li to fulfill it." ”
The audience was shocked!
The princess was not unhappy that she was not selected for the queen's position, but expressed in public that she wanted to marry General Qi Ping, and her boldness was really amazing.
Shi Wang was still a little depressed, and he was a little happy when he heard this, but he couldn't show it, but a trace of anger rose on his face.
"Presumptuous! Is this princess running for the election in order to be the general's wife for Zi Xi? If you are chosen, do you want to throw away your favor or do you want General Qi to marry into the royal family again? Is that what your princess honors are? ”
Princess Bao'er was said like this, and she was aggrieved: "But everyone said that Your Majesty has a heart and will not take a fancy to me, so I dare to say it now." If it doesn't work today, let's talk about it tomorrow, okay? ”
Her aggrieved appearance made Shi Wang a little speechless, angry and funny.
Even King Li couldn't stand it anymore, so he helped her up and comforted her for a while.
At this time, there was another person in the crowd: "Your Majesty, I also have a favorite!" ”
A purple-clothed figure also ran forward like Princess Bao'er, and said, "I am willing to marry Lord Yuan in the court, and ask Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to fulfill it." ”
As she approached, she was about to kneel.
"Is there still a Yuan lord in the court? Your Majesty is a new adult? Shi Wang asked.
King Li shook his head, he couldn't figure out which Lord Yuan was.
Shi Wang was about to ask who the princess was, when a cold light flashed in her sleeve and pulled out a dagger!
