Chapter 16: The Unexpected
After Pei Yaowei gave such an answer, Xiao Zhu was really happy.
But what happened later made his pleasure dim a little.
Pei Yaowei quietly asked Tear Qing to go to her room to get a sample, and gave it to Xiao Chase: "This thing was given by the Queen Mother a few days ago, and my sister and courtiers felt that it was precious and did not dare to bear it." Today, I am fortunate to see Your Majesty, and I hope that the Son of Heaven will help the courtiers solve this dilemma. β
It's that white jade valley kei. Min Dai's heart moved, and she gradually calmed down.
As soon as the brocade box was opened, Xiao Zhu's eyes sank, and his brows frowned.
Oh, it's so fast.
He winked, and Sun took the brocade box.
"It's not that hard." After a while, he smiled and said to Min Dai: "The third brother is close to the age, but he has never married a concubine. Yesterday, I saw the fifth sister Yinghuai at the concubine, I think it's good, and I have the heart to promote this good relationship, I don't know what the concubine wants? β
Hearing this, Yao Wei and Min Dai were both very unexpected.
Marry Xiang Yinghuai to Xiao Di?
This is completely different from what Pei Yaowei originally expected, Xiao Zhu would be suspicious of the Xiang family because of the Xiang family's marriage into the Chu Palace, and he would not dare to appoint him.
Although Mrs. Zuo has proposed marriage for Xiang Yinghuai, it has not yet been finalized, and Min Dai can't use this matter as a reason to oppose it at this time. She stabilized her mind and said with a strong face: "The emperor has the heart to give marriage, which is the blessing of the fifth sister." It's just that the concubine's sister, you've also seen it, has an uncertain temperament, and she is quite lacking in being a man. The concubine and the father all wanted to keep her for two more years, so that she could be disciplined and disciplined before she was allowed to marry, otherwise she would not be at ease if she married in a hurry. This is the heart of the old father and elder sister, and I hope that Your Majesty will understand. β
Xiao Zhu didn't care, and still smiled: "It's okay to do this." It is also possible to give marriage first, and then make a ceremony after two years. β
As he spoke, he no longer cared about Mindai's reaction, and directly instructed Sun Zhifang to send this Gu Gui to Xiang Yinghuai.
Pei Yaowei looked at Sun Zhifang all the way out, her eyes dark.
"Reluctant?" Suddenly, she heard Xiao Chai ask.
Pei Yaowei hurriedly retracted his gaze, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty said it was funny." β
"Don't worry." Xiao got up and stopped a little as he passed her.
He lowered his voice and said meaningfully: "With your qualifications, you are destined to take Gu Gui." Without this pair, there is a better one waiting for you. β
Outside the palace, the palace eunuch shouted: "Your Majesty is drivingββ! β
Later that day, Lingyun Hall sent out a holy decree to marry Xiao Di, the king of Chu, and the five daughters of Jiyang County.
In the main hall, Min Dai's face was calm, "What are you doing here?" β
Pei Yaowei stood in front of her and let out a long breath.
The current situation was something she never expected. However, her actions during the day were also carefully considered by her.
"Before the emperor came up, you asked me how to become a princess." She said, "My original plan was to temporarily make a mistake in front of the emperor, just let the emperor think that our family is willing to send my little sister to the palace." The matter of peace with Zhou Guo cannot be delayed, and we only need to drag it out in front of us, and the danger of becoming a princess can be solved. β
"As for handing over Gu Gui, it is also to make the emperor believe that the little sister is determined to enter the palace. After all, there are many people in the palace, and the queen mother and queen mother give this thing as a gift, and they may not be able to hide it from the emperor's eyes. And the current situation...... It's something that Xiaomei didn't take into account. β
Min Dai slapped her palm on the low table, "Heh, you're smart!" β
Pei Yaowei was silent for a moment and said, "Eldest sister, don't worry. β
"Not worried?!" Min Dai was a little anxious: "The situation is so complicated, you can really say this!" β
Pei Yao said: "I thought about it, the matter of giving marriage to the king of Chu, the emperor thought that it was just for the sake of the queen mother's Gu Gui, and he couldn't return it, so he could only prevaricate with another daughter of the Xiang family." β
This is the only explanation she can think of now, and she vaguely feels that this marriage has a lot of dreams at night. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Xiang family and Xiao Di admit it, Xiao Zhu may not be able to let his holy decree go on smoothly.
Min Dai said, "Because of what, does it matter? Importantly, this marriage decree has been given! Then all the planning arrangements that you have been talking about with me before will be nullified! β
"Okay now, it's not just you who want to enter the palace, Yinghuai...... Cough! Her temperament, really want to enter the Chu Palace, can she live for a few days with all her beards and tails? Can our family still have a stable life!? β
It is rare for her to be so out of shape, if she has the energy to look at it, she will definitely find that the eyes of this sister looking at her at this moment are soft and conniving.
Pei Yaowei still tepidly comforted: "Eldest sister, don't worry." β
"You forgot, it's just the emperor's move now." She said, "Our Xiang family is powerless to resist the decree, but do you think that the King of Chu will admit it so easily?" β
