Chapter 34, Uncle Emperor
Although the four reasons mentioned by Yan Yan were very old, and they also gave the Queen Mother a certain opinion on the Lu family, the Queen Mother never believed that these reasons were thought up by Yan Yan herself.
She knew that Yan Yan went to the Meng family a few days ago, so she took it for granted that someone from the Meng family had mentioned her, after all, she also knew a little about Yan Yan's personality, and she was sure to be smart, but she wouldn't be so aggressive.
Also, when the Queen Mother saw her son personally come to inquire about this matter, she also guessed that this matter is not only a matter involving the relatives of the two children, but also involves the standing and fighting of the court.
"Even so, it can't be a reason for you not to marry the Lu family, right? It's a big deal not to separate the family, with us here, can the Lu family really succumb to you? Child, tell me something from your heart, do you not want to marry someone or do you not want to marry the Lu family? "The Queen Mother wants to try again one last time to see if she can move Yan Yan.
Because although the Lu family is hateful, but things have come to this point, Yan Yan is afraid that she can't hide from it, unless she can really put aside everything in the world and stay in the nunnery as a nun without marrying for the rest of her life.
But compared to being a nun, the Queen Mother would rather her get married, have her own children in the future, cultivate it well, and have them to help support her, but she is afraid that she will not be able to get ahead, and she is afraid that she will not be able to rely on her?
"Back to the Queen Mother, I really don't want to marry at the moment." Yan Yan heard the Queen Mother's concern, and also took a step back.
"For now?" Li Cong was relieved when he heard this, "Girl, if you have any conditions, don't worry, I will definitely make the decision for you." ”
"Thank you to the emperor, first of all, the courtiers hope that the Lu family can officially apologize to the courtiers, and it must be in public, well, on the day of the queen mother's birthday, the women of the capital above the third grade will come to worship the queen mother, and the courtiers hope that she can admit in front of these women that she is not thoughtful and should not bring Lu You into our Yan family, and the reputation of the courtiers will be damaged."
"This one seems a bit difficult." The Queen Mother wrinkled her brows, no matter what, Mrs. Lu is also Mrs. Yipin of the dynasty, Yan Yan is just an orphan with no father and mother, even if she is a relative, she has no grade.
"And then?" Li Cong asked with great interest, this girl's courage is really not small, she dared to ask Mrs. Yipin to apologize to her in public, he wanted to see if there were other ideas in this girl's mind.
"Then the Lu family can propose to withdraw from their relatives."
"And then?"
"The courtiers can leave home with peace of mind."
"That's right, girl, I and your father are cousins, and his daughter is not much different from my daughter, why don't I give you the title of a princess, and then I choose a colt for you, how about it?" Li Cong suddenly thought of an idea.
"Not good." Yan Yan refused without the slightest consideration.
She didn't want to go to the house in the name of a fake princess, she had read a lot of books these days, and she had learned a little about the origin of this dynasty.
This dynasty is a bit similar to the Song Dynasty in history, but the economy is not as developed as the Song Dynasty, but there are a lot of external troubles, there are Khitan, Mongolia, Jurchen in the north, there are small countries in the Western Xia and the Western Regions in the west, Nanyue, Dali, and Tubo in the south, and the coastal area in the east is not very peaceful, and there are Japanese Kou.
The father of the original owner was killed during the war in South Vietnam, and looking at the map, such as the area of Guangdong and Guangxi, it is still in the hands of the South Vietnamese.
At present, the capital where they live should be the area of Henan, also called Tokyo, and the location is near Kaifeng in later generations.
Another point, the territory of this dynasty is not large, similar to the Northern Song Dynasty in history, north to Hebei near Cangzhou, Shanxi and Shaanxi also have some places, the west is Sichuan Guizhou, the territory of these two provinces is not as complete as Yan Yan's impression, and most of the places at the junction of Yunnan do not belong to the Great Zhou, and most of the places in the south of Liangguang also belong to Nanyue.
With so many foreign enemies eyeing her, Yan Yan didn't need to ask to know what the emperor meant by making her a princess at this time, these barbarian lands were already backward, medicine was not developed in this era, and the transportation was even more inconvenient, so she didn't want to die in vain.
"Why not?" The Queen Mother was a little unhappy.
Is there still a royal family in the eyes, is there any imperial power?
"Qi Yu Empress Dowager, the courtier is a widowed daughter, she killed her father before she was born, she killed her mother just after she was born, and her grandfather was gone one after another when she was ten years old, so the courtiers were worried that their lives would be hard and would bring disaster to the emperor, so the courtiers made up their minds to stay in the nunnery for two years, to get rid of the bad luck on their bodies, hoping that the Bodhisattva could bless the courtiers with a smoother road in the future, and asked the Queen Mother and the Emperor to complete it." Yan Yan knelt down after speaking.
She doesn't believe it, can the emperor not be afraid? Can the Queen Mother not respond?
Who knew that as soon as Yan Yan's words came out, although the Queen Mother was unwilling, Li Cong's interest was even stronger.
This girl really didn't disappoint her, she was thoughtful and bold, let her go and kiss, maybe she could bring him some surprise.
It's a pity that Li Cong also knows his mother's taboo, and it is estimated that the road of recognizing a woman will not work, so this girl is still young, so it is better to let her go to the temple for a year and a half, and then the rumor will pass, and Yan Yan has also suffered enough in the temple, so he will not refuse his proposal again.
"Okay, that's the case, it's up to you, pack up your things when you go back, and go to Qinglian Nunnery to lead the cultivation in three days." After Li Cong finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Back to Your Majesty, it won't work out in three days, the courtiers haven't waited for the Lu family's apology, and the courtier's condition is that Mrs. Lu will officially send someone to dissolve the marriage contract after making an apology to the courtiers in public, so that the courtiers can practice in the nunnery without worry." Yan Yan stopped the emperor who was leaving.
The words have been spread, if she doesn't do it, won't she be slapped in the face by then?
"And what if I don't agree?" Li Cong had the idea of making things difficult for Yan Yan.
"Back to the emperor, this family affair was helped by the queen mother, and it was also approved by the emperor's uncle himself, if it is so quietly stopped, the courtiers are afraid that it will affect the reputation of the royal family, the courtiers are nothing, Zuo is just an orphan daughter without a father and mother." In order to give the other party a beard, Yan Yan also fought hard, and called "Uncle Emperor" who had not been shouted for many years.
Sure enough, this "Uncle Emperor" made Li Cong pause, he remembered it very clearly, it was probably when Yan Yan was four or five years old, it seemed to be the birthday of the Queen Mother, many ladies of the family brought their children into the palace to worship, a good eye, Yan Yan somehow fought with other children in the courtyard.
Fortunately, the children were accompanied by maids and nurses, but they didn't really do anything, but Rao was like this, and these children didn't want to let Yan Yan go, and they denounced her one by one.
