One hundred and nine, the power of the concubine
But what neither of them expected was that things were completely different from what they imagined.
In the morning, the king of Dog Rong accompanied the lord of Dunhuang to meet the saint, the saint married Twilight Xue The conditions were quite generous, and the two families did not finish talking, His Royal Highness the prince ran in angrily, and saw the saint complaining, the two of them understood the reason, to the effect that Twilight Xue should not marry the prince, she should marry Qiming.
What about Twilight and Akimei? Both were taken aback. Before they could figure it out, the guards brought Qi Qi in, and Qi Qi said, "Princess Qingyi Xuan Dog Rong King and the Lord of Dunhuang City will go to Anle Palace to meet you!" ”
Audience? This is not a word that can be used casually, the King of Dog Rong and the Lord of Dunhuang City glanced at each other, and then looked at the blue face of the saint, they probably guessed seventy or eighty percent, it seems that this Duxue and Qi Ming are indeed in trouble, and at this time Qingyi wants to gather all the forces of the Northern Desert to compete with Chang'an, so that Chang'an does not dare to casually decide this family affair by himself.
King Dog Rong glanced at the Dunhuang City Lord helplessly, the Dunhuang City Lord's face also darkened, he glanced at Du Xue, and said sharply: "You shut up for me!" Shameless. ”
"Daddy!!" Twilight Xue called out aggrievedly, this is the first time that the lord of Dunhuang has murdered her, and it is also the first time in his life to scold her.
But the lord of Dunhuang is really helpless at this time, he has agreed to the holy proposal, the family affairs of the two families have been decided, Chang'an has not treated Dunhuang badly, this matter has been announced to the world, just waiting for tomorrow to marry the door and worship the church to get married, but today there is such a thing, where does this make his face go, so that the emperor's face can exist? Moreover, at this moment, the princes and envoys of more than half of the tribes of the Northern Desert have gathered in the entire Anle Palace, and this matter will be known to the whole world tomorrow, and the royal face can be regarded as a big loss.
Now he doesn't help Twilight, he doesn't help, and the saint continues to approve of this marriage at the moment, nor does he oppose this marriage, and the other male protagonist of this incident is his own son, he wants Twilight to be his daughter-in-law, and he doesn't want her to be his daughter-in-law, everyone's situation is extremely difficult.
"Dunhuang City Lord, this family matter has already been decided, and now this kind of thing is happening, it doesn't seem to be good!" The Holy Lord held back his anger and said, he felt extremely indignant when he was embarrassed in front of the entire Northern Desert.
"That's it! Twilight has always liked me, and the other day we set the wedding time for tomorrow together! It must have been something that Qi Ming and Qingyi had done to her, or what threat she had undergone, that would suddenly change her mind! Father, you have to be the master of your sons! The prince immediately echoed the words of the saint, begging him to make decisions for himself, it seems that he has to marry Twilight, I wonder if Twilight Snow is not the queen, she will still be so attractive to him?
The saint had a cold face and didn't speak, and the prince's begging made him even more faceless in front of everyone. Seeing that he was silent, the prince turned his face again and begged the queen: "Queen Mother, you must be the master of your sons!" ”
The queen mother frowned, looking at the prince helplessly, she shook her head and turned her eyes to the saint, and slowly said: "Saint, the relationship between Twilight Snow and the prince comes first, presumably the two children are still optimistic about each other, but maybe the two are not close enough to each other, and they don't know each other much, so Princess Twilight will be afraid of getting married, and will mistakenly think that she likes Prince Qiming, but Princess Dusk and Prince Qiming have no feelings before, the two of them are a pair of mortal enemies, everyone can see it, At the moment, it is said that it is a deep love, which does make us adults a little inexplicable, but Twilight is still young, naughty by nature, and she doesn't necessarily understand her own thoughts, and she should make trouble, and it's not a big deal, but we elders don't dare to take it seriously, and it's up to them to mess around. ”
Sure enough, she is the saint's worry relief grass, what the queen said is indeed reasonable, the saint nodded again and again, if it is said that Twilight Xue is just casually messing around, then anyone can save face, he turned his head to the Dunhuang City Lord and said: "What the queen said is reasonable, we can't mess around with them, Twilight Xue's first choice is the prince, I think the prince will definitely give her a happy future." ”
"I'll say it again, I'm not messing around!" Twilight yelled anxiously, "I really like to ride Ming, I don't like the prince!" ”
A sentence ignited the smell of gunpowder again, and the concubine Niangniang hurriedly stepped forward to persuade and said: "In fact, you don't have to look at how complicated this matter is, isn't it just a matter of love between children and daughters, men and women love, marriage in this world has always been rare, people often say, rather demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage, no matter what the outcome is, it is a blessing that two people have cultivated in their previous lives, and we really don't have to be too excited, too concerned." Besides, emotional matters can't be forced, and we elders can't actually make decisions for them too much. ”
The words of the concubine are reasonable, if this is in an ordinary family, it is also a common thing for the woman to withdraw from the marriage, and people can understand their common feelings, but this is born in the palace, and the affairs of several of them have become a model that can not have any mistakes, a small thing can make a big fuss, once the choice is made, there is no turning back, even if a mistake is made, there is no chance to correct the mistake.
The concubine continued: "In my opinion, these two people also really love each other, who can say such a thing as feelings, why do we need the two of them to give us all an explanation." Qi Ming is sincere to Twilight, just like Yucheng is to Qingyi...... We are all people who have come over, the minds of young people, we can understand some of them, and we are naturally stupid in the depths, since we are all infatuated people, why don't we understand and fulfill them......"
This should be the first person to bravely stand up for Qi Ming and Twilight together! Everyone was amazed, they couldn't imagine that these words could come from the mouth of the concubine! Even the saint's face changed, and he didn't know if it was rain or sunshine.
Only I know how worried the concubine is at the moment, as a mother, she has the courage to fight against everything, she is making a big gamble, if she wins, then her son can win the crown prince, if the bet is lost, then everything is over. But she was willing to make such a bet, willing to take a risk for her son.
And at this time, I realized that this prince dispute has actually subtly evolved into a princess dispute, the prince has put all the bets on Twilight, and the concubine Niangniang has pressed the bets on me.
She has been in obscurity, isn't she just waiting for this day? When the concubine said that Yucheng had affection for me, everyone's eyes stayed on me for a moment.
The saint seems to have heard the meaning of the concubine, if Twilight Xue really can't stay, then it is better to keep me, everyone underestimated my influence on the Northern Desert too much before, and seeing it today makes everyone feel a trace of jealousy and respect in their hearts. If there was only one to keep, it seemed more valuable to keep me than to keep Twilight, and the saint immediately changed his mind.
He looked at the city lord of Dunhuang and said, "City lord, after all, you are the biological father of Duxue, what do you think of this matter?" Will this kiss be married tomorrow? ”
The city lord looked at the kneeling on the ground, Qi Ming and Du Xue, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and said very embarrassedly: "I did talk to the saint about the marriage of the little girl before, but at that time the little girl and the prince were consensual, and now that the situation has changed a little, I think we should think about it ......in the long run."
Shengshang nodded, and said coldly: "After all, this matter is related to the future of the two clans of Chang'an and Dunhuang, and it is also related to the long-term peace and stability of the Northern Desert and the Central Plains. If it weren't for the infatuation between Qi Ming and Twilight Xue to this point, no one would have been able to break this precedent, but the matter of Yucheng and Qingyi that the concubine said just now should also be considered. ”
"Thank you for your grace!" The concubine was immediately grateful.
This bet is still won by the concubine, sometimes some things can't be seen by luck, and to bet on this matter, you still have to bet on the right person. Holy means...... Will you think about me and Ikujo?
Once again, I was caught up in the marrying turmoil of the court, but this time, my future husband had already been decided, and the concubine seemed to be inevitable.
I can't resist and can't resist, the concubine promised me to help Twilight and Twilight, today she fulfilled her promise, in front of so many people on the side of Qiming and Twilight, she is taking a great risk, asking me to stay is her bargaining chip for promising to help Twilight and Twilight, how can I refute at this time?
However, step by step, the matter of Qi Ming and Twilight Snow is now imminent, and my affairs are not in charge of the saint yet, and if I don't make up my mind one day, I can redeem it one day.
"I will definitely consider this matter thoroughly and give a satisfactory explanation to the saint." The lord of Dunhuang replied.
"Very good," said the saint, got up, and returned to the palace with the queen and a large number of people. A room of people bid farewell to the saint, and the king of Inurong also brought the envoys and princes of various tribes to discuss the matter. The city lord of Dunhuang glanced at Duxue helplessly, and left a sentence, "Come back and settle accounts with you!" He followed.
This is really in a hurry, and it is also in a hurry, the two kings came to Chang'an, and it is estimated that they haven't talked to their sons well, so they have brought people from other tribes to talk about things, but they don't know about my affairs and the affairs of Twilight, and they are not within the scope of their discussion, I know that the Northern Desert has always been democratic and self-controlled, and suddenly the Holy Princess of the Northern Desert appeared in the world, and they need to discuss and discuss to decide how I should go in the future.
"Qingyi, come with me, I have something to tell you." The concubine walked up to me and said with a smile.
I nodded, and walked out of the palace with her.
"Yucheng, you take Sheng Yao back first." The concubine said to Yucheng, Yucheng saluted and left first.
