Chapter 50: The Good of Qin and Jin
Because the marriage between the regent and the princess's concubine was given by the queen mother. Therefore, on the second day of marriage, the newlyweds are going to ask the Queen Mother for their thanks.
Meng Yichen was already dressed neatly, just waiting for Gao Xin'er to pack up, and then go to the palace together to say hello to the Queen Mother.
But Gao Xin'er bit her lower lip and bit her lower lip miserably, without saying a word, and she didn't have the heart to ask the Queen Mother for peace.
Meng Yichen realized that something was wrong, so he asked, "What?" Is the princess uncomfortable? If the princess is not feeling well, then there is no need to go to the queen mother to say goodbye. The king can ask the queen mother for guilt. ”
"No, it's not." Gao Xin'er bit her lower lip and stopped talking.
"Why is that?"
Meng Yichen asked strangely, and suddenly found the white handkerchief in Gao Xin'er's hand, and then understood something.
Meng Yichen pulled out a dagger, and when the blade of the dagger slashed through the dagger shell, it made a sharp, metallic grinding sound.
Such a sudden move startled Gao Xin'er. She was in the boudoir, and she would never play with these daggers, swords and other sharp weapons.
The only sharp weapon she has ever held is the scissors to make a female celebrity.
Unexpectedly, Meng Yichen reversed the dagger lightly, and then swiped it on his hand.
Gao Xin'er exclaimed, "What is the prince doing?" ”
Meng Yichen didn't speak, walked straight to the bedside, and dripped the blood on his hand on the white and flawless handkerchief.
Gao Xin'er also understood in an instant, and she was moved and distressed to tears.
"Why did the prince hurt himself? I, how can I let the prince maintain it like this? ”
In the Western Chu Kingdom, if the cave room spends candle night, the bride is not red, and she will be laughed at for a lifetime.
One possibility is that the bride is not innocent, and the other possibility is that the husband doesn't like it and doesn't even want to touch it.
Either way, it will make the bride unable to hold her head up.
And some new daughters-in-law can't stand the cynicism of their mother-in-law's family, and some hang themselves, and some commit suicide by taking medicine.
Gao Xin'er had already hurriedly taken a handkerchief and bandaged Meng Yichen's wound.
Gao Xin'er was very distressed, "The prince is so considerate for Xin'er, even if Xin'er is a cow and a horse to repay the prince, she is also willing." ”
Meng Yichen didn't want to look at Gao Xin'er's tears, and said in a blunt tone, "You are the princess of this king, and protecting you is also protecting the face of this king." You don't need to be overly grateful. ”
"No matter what the reason is, if the prince is good to me, it is good to me, so I still want to thank the prince."
Looking at Gao Xin'er's satisfied face, Meng Yichen couldn't bear to say anything more. Turned around directly, not wanting to see that charming little face again.
"Let's go! Don't let the Queen Mother wait long. ”
Gao Xin'er followed behind Meng Yichen step by step, followed him, and went to the palace to greet the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager generally looked at Fang Yuanpa in a perfunctory manner, and then nodded with satisfaction, and asked Gao Xin'er to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the regent as soon as possible, so that the princess who was worried about her daughter could rest assured.
For the Queen Mother's instructions, Gao Xin'er respectfully agreed.
After saying goodbye, Meng Yichen also proposed to the Queen Mother the idea of taking the princess to the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom as a guest, and by the way, to visit and kiss the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom in the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom.
Regarding Meng Yichen's proposal, the Queen Mother seemed to have no other way than to agree.
It's just that the Queen Mother carefully instructed, "The princess was born in a family, and she can't stand it." Remember to hurry and make the princess tired. ”
Gao Xin'er thanked the Queen Mother gratefully, "The courtiers thank the Queen Mother for her concern." ”
In just a few words, the Queen Mother has already seen that this Gao Xin'er is a virtuous and gentle girl.
And if others are a little kind to her, she will be full of gratitude.
With such a temperament, marrying Meng Yichen doesn't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
If it weren't for this marriage, she might have been happier.
Maybe not, because from her eyes, the Queen Mother could see how much she liked Meng Yichen.
If you marry someone you don't love, you won't be really happy, right?
I hope that with her character, Meng Yichen can treat her better! The Queen Mother looked forward to it in her heart.
This marriage is her will, and she doesn't want such a good little girl to be unhappy for the rest of her life. That's what she's not like.
The regent of the Western Chu Kingdom took the princess to the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom on the fourth day of marriage, that is, after returning to the door on the third day.
It is said that the way to the southern frontier country was not smooth for the regent, and he encountered several assassins one after another, but fortunately, there was no danger.
The regent and the princess finally arrived safely in the southern frontier country.
The emperor of the southern Xinjiang country, the queen and the concubine held a banquet to entertain them, and at this banquet, there were naturally important ministers of the southern Xinjiang country.
The regent explained his intention and said that he was willing to marry Qin and Jin forever with the southern Xinjiang country.
The emperor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom was also very interested, and happily responded to Meng Yichen's proposal.
And the queen of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom congratulated Meng Yichen, saying that the concubine was pregnant, which was the crystallization of the friendly exchanges between the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom and the Western Chu Kingdom.
The emperor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom also promised at the banquet that no matter whether the concubine gave birth to a prince or a princess in the future, she would be named the eldest prince and the eldest princess, and her status would be equal to that of the prince and princess.
The queen of the southern Xinjiang country has always been smiling kindly. Then he looked at Gao Xin'er and praised, "Princess Regent is really a rare beauty." ”
The queen praised it. The posture of the courtiers and willows, how can they be so praised by the mother? ”
"The princess regent is not only beautiful, but also has a good personality and is very sensible."
The queen mother suddenly praised Gao Xin'er, which made Gao Xin'er a little overwhelmed, for some reason, the queen mother was obviously praising her, but it made her feel very uncomfortable.
Sure enough, a woman's intuition is very accurate, and soon she knows why she is uncomfortable.
As soon as the queen's words changed, she threw out her true purpose, "Speaking of which, the emperor's youngest sister, the youngest princess of our southern Xinjiang country, is now twenty-eight years old, right?" It's time to talk about family affairs. ”
"Look, the concubine, this regent is talented, brave and strategic, and he is a rare good son-in-law! Does the emperor want to think about it? ”
The emperor also seemed to suddenly realize, "Oh! If the queen doesn't say it, I'll forget it. Jiang Chasang has indeed reached the age of discussing relatives. ”
"It's just that the regent has just married the princess, if I make my own opinion, I don't know if the princess will be unhappy?"
Jiang Zepu said this, and looked at Gao Xin'er with an inquiring eye.
Gao Xin'er was stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did she smile helplessly, "It's all up to the prince to decide this matter." ”
When Jiang Zepu heard this, he laughed heartily, "This princess is really virtuous." What a blessing you are, Lord Regent! ”
Meng Yichen surrendered his hand and pleaded guilty, "Please also ask the emperor, forgive Yichen for being rude, I'm afraid I will live up to the emperor's kindness and appreciation." ”
"What does the Lord Regent mean by that? Do you think that my sister is not worthy of the prince? Jiang Zepu's words already carried a little reproach.
"Yichen has no such intentions, it's just that Yichen has already married the princess, and the princess will enter the palace in the future, but I'm afraid that the position of the side concubine will wronged the princess."
Jiang Zepu thought for a moment, and then said, "This also makes sense, what does the princess think?" ”
Jiang Zepu suddenly threw the question to Gao Xin'er, and Gao Xin'er was shocked. How should she answer this? Do you want her to give up the position of princess?
"This..."Gao Xin'er also hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
"Your Majesty, please ask Rong Yichen to return to one thing."
"You say."
"When Yichen and Xin'er got married, they had already promised Xin'er that there was only one princess in Xin'er in this life. Don't marry a flat wife, don't take a side room. ”
As soon as Meng Yichen's words came out, Gao Xin'er was shocked.
Because the surprised expression was not withdrawn in time, Gao Xin'er's expression was looked at by Jiang Zepu.
Jiang Zepu said warningly, "Is this true? It can't be an excuse for prevarication, right? ”
"Yichen can swear here, in this life, there is only one princess Gao Xin'er."
Meng Yichen is indeed resolute. Even if he had other ideas in his heart, now that he said so, the emperor couldn't say anything.
He could only smile and say, "I envy the relationship between the regent and the princess. What I just said, let's take it as a joke! ”
"Then I am here to bless the regent and the princess, a hundred years of good together, give birth to a noble son early, and grow old together."
"Thank you for the Emperor's holy words." Meng Yichen and Gao Xin'er thanked the emperor in unison.
The regent's trip to the southern frontier came to an end in a hurry. On the way back, Gao Xin'er was always embarrassed to look at Meng Yichen.
Because of what Meng Yichen said in the southern Xinjiang country, she was very moved. Regardless of whether these words were sincere or not, she was full of joy.
Among such excellent people, Long Feng actually became her husband, and in front of others, he promised that she was the only princess in his life.
This flattered her.
Meng Yichen knew that Gao Xin'er had been secretly watching him, and he also knew why Gao Xin'er was secretly looking at him.
But he could only pretend not to know, because he didn't know what to tell her.
The emperor of the southern Xinjiang country and the emperor of the northern desert country will both arrive in the Donglin country in the near future.
This is something that has never been the case in four countries for hundreds of years.
For hundreds of years, various countries have been in various ways.
However, the only envoys sent by the emperor to various countries were envoys from the past, and the emperor himself had never sent an envoy.
This also shows the strength of the Tanglin Kingdom today.
Because the Tanglin Kingdom is strong enough, the emperors of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom and the Northern Desert Kingdom will give face like this.
The emperor's mission to other countries is naturally a sensation in the whole country, so the preparations alone are full of a month.
During this period, Concubine Xian Niangniang suddenly moved, and after the struggle of stepping into the ghost gate, she finally gave birth to a princess.
The emperor was very happy, and as soon as the princess was born, he named the princess, and the emperor said that he hoped that the Tanglin Kingdom and the Western Chu Kingdom would be able to marry the Qin and Jin dynasties forever, so he named the princess the word 嫀.
If in the future, Concubine Xian will give birth to a prince again, and she will be named Jin. If she is still a princess, then she will be named Yan.
Although the emperor said this, Concubine Xian understood that she would have no chance with her heirs in the future. Because judging from the current situation of the Tanglin Kingdom and the Western Chu Kingdom.
The emperor will not let her get pregnant again. But to have a princess by her side, she is already very content.
