Nie Ruyi followed back to the banquet only half an hour after Si Jingmo left.

The original good mood disappeared when he saw Si Jingmo looking at Huo Yubai intently.

Nie Ruyi returned to her seat, and she was not wearing a veil, which naturally attracted the attention of many men.

She didn't care at all, and her face was always cold and unapproachable.

Yu Huimin glanced at her, and then looked at Si Jingmo diagonally opposite, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.

After about half an hour, the daughters of the family present had already finished performing.

Si Huang did not say on the spot who would be the princess to marry, but proposed to let the ministers discuss which princess should be suitable to marry.

Si Huang has five daughters, the eldest daughter and the second daughter are married.

Now the third princess Si Pei Ning is raised under the name of the queen, the fifth princess Si Jing Ning from the noble concubine, and the fourth princess Si Yuan Ning from Concubine De.

The fifth princess, Si Jingning, is only fourteen years old, and she is not suitable for marriage.

So Yu Fengyi didn't worry about her daughter being selected and kissed at all.

What the courtiers discussed was nothing more than to let the third princess or the fourth princess marry.

"Your Majesty, the Western Chu Kingdom is sincere and pro-family, and my Northern Yin Dynasty should also carry the greatest sincerity. Although the third princess is not born to the queen's mother, she is raised in the name of the queen's mother, and only by sending the princess can she show the greatest sincerity of my Beiyin Dynasty. Lu Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said in a deep voice.

"The ministers seconded it!" Many courtiers chimed in.

Lan Lan frowned, "Although the third princess is raised in the name of this palace, she can be regarded as a descendant, but her biological mother is from a humble background, if you let Prince Xichu know, I am afraid she will be dissatisfied." ”

"Weichen agrees with what the queen said." Rong'an Gonglan echoed, "The identity of the third princess is a little embarrassing, if you let the third princess be close, I am afraid that the Western Chu Congress will be too careful." ”

Lan Su is the queen's elder brother and the uncle of the dynasty.

"The third princess is raised under the name of the queen, she is the princess, and on the jade plate, the third princess is the queen's daughter." Lu Zhan said.

Lan Su's face was serious, "The third princess on the jade plate is a descendant, but not by blood, and by blood, the identity of the fourth princess is more noble." ”

"In terms of identity, the status of the third princess is now noble."

"I'm afraid that the prince of Western Chu attaches more importance to blood."

"That's not necessarily, if the prince of Western Chu wants to marry, he will naturally marry the princess with the most noble status now."

“……”

Lan Su and Lu Chong argued endlessly, each with its own reason.

This is also what makes Si Huang entangled, whether it is the third princess or the fourth princess, they are all his daughters, and he is reluctant to let anyone marry and kiss him far away.

Moreover, let the third princess be harmonious, the queen is unhappy, let the fourth princess marry, Concubine De is unhappy, he is really in a dilemma.

Si Huang couldn't make up his mind, so he let the minister argue.

"Who the prince of Western Chu wants to marry, we can't let the Northern Yin Dynasty unilaterally decide, the other party also has to choose, and it is meaningless to choose who to marry now." Si Jing said in a clear voice.

In a word, the quarreling ministers were all silent.

Si Huang looked at Si Jingmo, "What do you mean, when the prince of Western Chu comes, let him choose his own partner?" ”

"That's what Erchen means, giving the other party the right to choose, is the greatest sincerity of the Northern Yin Dynasty to the Western Chu State."

Si Huang nodded secretly, agreeing in his heart, "Does King Jing think that the daughter of the family who accompanies the princess to marry should also be chosen by the prince of Western Chu?" ”

"This can't, since it's peace, it should be fair, the conditions for peace and proximity were put forward by the Western Chu State, and the Northern Yin Dynasty was very passive.

If the candidates for marriage with relatives and companions are selected by the Western Chu State, it seems that the Northern Yin Dynasty is too easy to speak, to speak ugly, and too easy to bully.

Therefore, our Northern Yin Dynasty should also occupy a certain initiative.

The choice of relatives is decided by the Western Chu State, but the choice of the marriage should be decided by our Northern Yin Dynasty.

Erchen also took into account one point, the prince of Western Chu married the princess of my Northern Yin Dynasty, and asked to accept the minister's daughter as a concubine, what is the purpose?

If three women marry far away from another country and are jealous for a man, what will the family of the woman who marries think about it?

Also, if the married woman is favored, and the prince of the Western Chu Kingdom has a plot against the Beiyin Dynasty and colludes with the woman's father, that is, the minister of our Beiyin Dynasty, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The retainers are not suspicious of the minister's loyalty, but take precautions.

Therefore, the people who are with relatives are decided by the Western Chu State, but the candidates for marriage have to be decided by our Northern Yin Dynasty.

For the women who accompany the marriage, their father's official position cannot be too high or too low, and the father can decide on his own. ”

Si Jingmo's words completely entered Si Huang's heart, and Si Huang fell into deep thought.

Huo Yubai, who was listening quietly, almost applauded Si Jingmo, this man's rhetoric basically made the emperor dispel the idea of letting the daughter of the Huo family marry.

After all, their Huo family is a military general, and they have military power in their hands.

It is the most unwise and the easiest to arouse the emperor's suspicion when the daughter of the Huo family marries into another country.

Her two younger sisters were safe.

Huo Yubai was secretly happy, and the Huo family was also secretly relieved.

And those present, those with high official positions, were secretly happy.

They don't want their daughters to marry far away.

First, it is reluctant, and secondly, not only can it not seek benefits for the family, but it is also easy to make the emperor suspicious and bring trouble.

Si Huang thought about it for a long time, and probably already knew it in his heart.

"According to what King Jing said, when he turned around, the ministers below the third rank and above the fifth rank sent the portrait of the daughter who had not left the cabinet into the palace, and asked the queen to choose a candidate for marriage.

As for which princess will be with you, when the prince of the Western Chu Kingdom arrives, let the prince of the Western Chu Kingdom decide.

That's all for today's feast, let's all go back. ”

Si Huang's words fell, and he left first.

The ministers hurriedly saluted, "Congratulations to the emperor!" ”

Lan Lan didn't rush to leave, left his seat, walked towards Si Jingmo with a calm face, and saw through everything with his eyes, "You really love the house and Wu." ”

Originally, today, she was going to propose to let the twins of the Huo family be princesses to marry, but unexpectedly, her son first put forward his own opinions, so that the Huo family daughter was completely excluded from the list of marrying girls.

Si Jingmo's expression was indifferent, and Lan Lan's eyes were not warm, "My father's approval of what this king said shows that what this king said is reasonable, if the queen is dissatisfied, she can ban her father from speaking."

Also, the queen was punished for being grounded for three months, and it is very inappropriate to appear at the banquet today, the queen should not run around, as the mother of a country, she should pay attention to the rules and lead by example. ”

Lan Lan's face turned blue with anger, this is her son, the son she worked hard to conceive and give birth to in October, and was carefully raised.

Now he is against her everywhere, and he has no respect for her as a mother.

All of this is because of Huo Yubai, and it was Huo Yubai who caused their mother and son to break up completely.

Lan Lan hated in his heart, looked at Huo Yubai with cold eyes, and did not hide his disgust, "Red face and trouble!" ”
