Chapter 308: The Marriage of the West and the West
Things are just as Chu Lixue thought, the Yue Xi Kingdom sent the royal guard cavalry this time, which was to marry and form an alliance with Beichen. Since ancient times, alliances between countries have been indispensable for marriages, which can ensure a peaceful life for at least a few decades. And those clan nobles, royal princesses, will inevitably become victims of politics.
However, as a royal family, you must be ready to dedicate yourself to the country at any time, and this dedication naturally includes freedom and love.
When the emperor received the letter of state, he naturally had to discuss it with the courtiers, because Yuexi was the female protagonist in power, and the last thing they lacked was a woman of the right age, and the lord of Yuexi decided to let his daughter marry the emperor of Beichen with a noble daughter of the clan.
Hearing this news, Chu Lixue was not surprised, it seems that the reputation of Emperor Beichen's lust has spread far and wide to the surrounding countries.
Emperor Beichen married a noble girl from Yuexi, although he wanted to form an alliance, but he could not give too low a position, but Nangong Anyi already had a queen, so the princess of Yuexi entered the Beichen Palace as a concubine, and the noble daughter of the Yuexi clan was a concubine. This made Chang Guiren very uncomfortable, she was originally the first person in this palace, but now that there is a newcomer, where will there be her in the emperor's heart.
"Niangniang, don't be angry, the slave maid heard that the women of the Yue West Country are very strong, and they are all vulgar and ugly, and those who are as beautiful as Niangniang naturally don't have to worry." Furong beside Chang Guiren comforted.
"What you say is true?" Chang Guiren smiled lightly.
"Yes, didn't the cavalry of the Western Kingdom come to Cloud City some time ago? The slave maid has seen it with her own eyes, how can those women be called women, all of them are black and strong, and they don't have the tenderness of a woman at all. Fleur flattered.
"Then I'll be relieved." Chang nobles take a sip of tea.
If the woman of the Yue Xi Kingdom is really as Furong said, then she doesn't have to worry, as long as she is still the most beautiful woman, the emperor's heart will always stay with her.
Finally came to marry the princess of Yuexi and the noble daughter of the clan, two carriages galloped in from the main gate of the palace, the main gate of the palace is generally opened to marry the queen or the emperor, but the princess of Yuexi and the noble daughter of the clan are noble, and the emperor specially ordered someone to open the main gate to show respect.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the steps, the emperor stepped down the steps, raised his eyes and looked, the flower and moon appearance of the princess of Yuexi was really fell in love at first sight, and the noble girl was not bad, it can be said that these two women are the most beautiful women among the women he has ever seen except Chu Lixue, even if it is the previous Rou Guifei, it can't be compared.
When the emperor married a newcomer, he naturally left Chang Guiren behind, and even the queen mother who was taken away by Nanchu Kongqi didn't care anymore.
At this time, the Empress Dowager Bai was still under house arrest in the palace of Nanchu, and Kong Qi was ready to exchange the Empress Dowager's life for what he wanted, but this Empress Dowager Bai seemed to have no value, and she had been taken captive for more than half a month, and Beichenguo had not even talked to him about the conditions.
Kong Qi came to the place where the Empress Dowager Bai was under house arrest, and saw her sitting at the table in a daze, presumably she was also thinking about how to get out of here. It's just that her life doesn't seem to be very good, and her son doesn't pay attention to her at all.
"I've never seen someone as failed as you." Conzi scoffed.
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Bai suddenly raised her head and looked at Kong Qi, "What do you mean?" ”
"I mean that your life is not good, your lover has died another son, and he is already terminally ill, and your own son, who has just married the princess of Yuexi, has long forgotten you to the clouds. I thought that if I caught you, I could exchange it for what I wanted, but no one has come to save you now. ”
"What do you want?"
"You know what I want."
"Treasure map?"
"That's right, it's a treasure map, so you should know the clues to the treasure map, right? Say it, and maybe I'll spare your life. ”
"I've only heard the first emperor talk about treasure maps, but I don't know the specifics. The first emperor will only tell King Chen about this, you might as well arrest Princess Chen to blackmail King Chen, you arrest the mourning family to blackmail him, it is useless at all. He hates the mourners to the core, and you can't get what you want. Empress Dowager Bai said lightly.
"I know that just with you in my hands, Emperor Beichen will be jealous, and with him to contain King Chen, I will have something else to do." Kong Qi said lightly.
What is once chosen on the king's side, the six palaces have no color, this sentence is fully embodied in the body of Princess Yuexi. Since she married into the Beichen Palace with the sisters of the clan, the emperor has stayed in the palace of Princess Yuexi all day long, and even went to the early dynasty.
Hearing the news, Chu Lixue said lightly: "I'm afraid this is the original plan of the Empress Yuexi." It seems that this Yuexi princess is a secret weapon cultivated by the Yuexi Empress herself, and she just wants to come in handy at a critical moment. ”
"Well, this woman is beautiful and beautiful, and she can sing and dance well, which is very liked by the emperor, and the noble girl of the clan also comes up with some programs all day long for the emperor to amuse. The emperor is like this now, I am really worried that this is not a blessing for Beichen. ”
"Of course, this is not Beichen's blessing, the hibiscus tent is warm for the Spring Festival, and the king will not be early from now on, this Empress Yuexi is really good at figuring out other people's thoughts."
"Are you saying that this was all planned by the Empress Yuexi a long time ago?" King Chen wondered.
He never thought that this was part of the plan of the Empress Yuexi, originally thought that Yuexi was afraid of being attacked by Nanchu and Dongyu, so he married and formed an alliance with Beichen, in order to ensure that when they encountered danger, Beichen could send troops to help, but after Chu Lixue said this, it seems that the problem is not so simple.
"If that's the case, we need to be prepared." King Chen frowned.
"I think, Yuexi should also be for the treasure map, otherwise why send two noble girls to Beichen, isn't it just for convenience? These two women have the ability to tie the emperor firmly, and they don't even care about the Bai clan who was taken away by Kong Qi, as long as they get the treasure map, then the next thing is to instigate the emperor to destroy the foundation of Beichen. ”
"Well, that's true, but what do we have to do now to stop their plans?" King Chen frowned. Nowadays, all the courtiers don't need to go to the court, and the emperor pushed everything to Shangshutai, fortunately, Shangshutai is on top, otherwise the internal affairs of Beichen would have been chaotic long ago.
"I don't know, now that the news in the palace is blocked, and the courtiers don't have to go to the court, it is even more impossible to understand the things in the palace. Otherwise, let's send someone to sneak into Yuexi first and find out about the situation on their side first. Chu Lixue proposed.
"No." Ye Wushuang stopped with a loud voice.
Hearing this, King Chen and Chu Lixue looked at the door together, and immediately, Ye Wushuang walked in, sat down at the table, and poured himself another cup of tea.
"Why not?" Chu Lixue wondered. Sending someone to Yuexi to find out the news should be the best way, but why can't you say it?
"Since the Empress Yuexi made an arrangement earlier, then even if you send someone, you won't find anything, so it's better to find someone to sneak into the palace and quietly monitor the two women from Yuexi."
"But now you can't enter the palace at all, so you can't bring someone to break in. Besides, if people sneak in at night, how can so many people be monitored during the day? Chu Lixue frowned.
This monitor is naturally the best to monitor nearby, and the only one who can do this can be a palace maid or eunuch who works in the palace. And now there are enough people to serve in the palace, and the Internal Affairs Office has not begun to recruit palace maids and eunuchs to serve in the palace, and it is very difficult to arrange for someone to go in.
"It's simple, I'll arrange for someone to go in and watch, but they'll just tell me the news, and then I'll tell you."
"So, have you already arranged for someone to enter the palace? Why not use the waning moon and snow? ”
"Rean Xue and Wanyue are not suitable for this, they are your maidservants, they have followed you in and out of the palace many times, and the dignitaries and dignitaries of the entire Cloud City also know them, let them enter the palace to find out the news, then what else can be found." Ye Wushuang looked at Chu Li Xue Dao helplessly.
This Lixue, who is usually very smart, how did she become a little sluggish in this matter? Could it be that she forgot that she was the lord of the Cold Moon Palace, and the capable people under her were not only the two of them, not to mention that the people of the Cold Moon Palace had their own strengths, and there were some things that the Remnant Snow and the Remnant Moon could not do well.
Of course, Ye Wushuang would not say these words to Chu Lixue, but Rean Xue and Wanyue understood very well that they had always looked at the long-term in their respectful affairs, and it was not impossible to arrange for someone to enter the palace to serve in advance.
"Wushuang, did you make arrangements a while ago?" King Chen said lightly.
"Well, that's right, when he ascended the throne of Nangong Anyi, didn't he recruit a group of palace maids and eunuchs to serve in the palace? At that time, I had already sent people from the Cold Moon Palace to lurk in the palace to do things, some of them were lurking in the harem, and some were lurking in various departments in the palace to do things, and they were also in contact with each other, so it was very convenient and fast to pass on the news. Ye Wushuang smiled lightly.
"It turns out that you have already made arrangements, no wonder you are not in such a hurry." Chu Lixue smiled lightly.
"Of course, otherwise where would all the news from the Cold Moon Palace come from?" Ye Wushuang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chu Lixue couldn't help laughing, Ye Wushuang was right, if there weren't so many spies, the Cold Moon Palace wouldn't be able to collect so much information, this can be said to be the earliest secret service or intelligence department in ancient times.
After waiting in King Chen's mansion for three whole days, news finally came out of the palace.
