Chapter 293: Vow to marry
Hearing the emperor's promise, Shen Yaomin smiled, cried and laughed......
She never thought that when she had been in the palace for twenty-two years and was already old, she would get this sentence from him, even a promise heavier than giving her a posterior.
She knew what this sentence meant to a person like the emperor, who had always been cold and indifferent in all kinds of emotions. Although he didn't say a blushing and heart-pounding love word, it wasn't a solemn oath that he swore by gambling curses. It's just such a faint word, but it has a power like thunder, knocking heavily on her heart.
Because she knew him, she knew more clearly that she had not overestimated the weight of this sentence. Even, the affection she experienced, the affection that the emperor himself realized, was less than the tenderness that actually existed in his heart.
With his words, her struggle in this Weiyang Palace for half her life is worth it. Even the upcoming life-and-death battle, whether you win or lose, is worth it.
With this word from him, everything is worth it.
The emperor stretched out his hand, wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "Don't cry, I look strange and distressed." โ
"Hmm." Shen Yaomin nodded and looked at him stupidly.
At this moment, they seemed to be back to the youthful times of many years ago, as if they would never go back.
The emperor got up, held the imperial concubine in his arms, and sighed lightly.
Who's to blame...... It's just that this Weiyang Palace is deep, and people's hearts have to be thick and hard. A little bit of light softness is not often tolerated in such a heart.
โฆโฆ
In the post house, Lei Qianliu was talking with Mrs. Song, who came with him.
"If this palace wants to marry, it must marry the princess of Weiyang Palace of their Wind Country, and they can't just take a clan girl to fool them. As the teacher said, now the Wind Country is trying its best to suppress us, wanting to occupy the position of the Kingdom in the exchanges between the two countries. โ
"Things like today's are just petty fights, and this palace won't take them to heart. Bengong is generous and plays with them. But if it comes to the real trick, the palace can't let half of it. In these little things, they can play as much as they like, but when it comes to real tricks, they must do practical things for the palace. Otherwise, if we get a clan girl to fool us, once the Wind Country intends to be unfavorable to us, we won't even have the decent thing to kill the sacrificial battle flag. โ
Song Taifu said with a smile: "Your Highness is wise, in this matter, we can't let half of it." Marry a real princess and go back, once there is any evil intention on the side of the Wind Country, we will directly send the head of their Wind Country princess, and we can also kill their morale. If you get a clan girl back, not to mention that your identity is not worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince, even if you kill it one day, it will not be enough. โ
With the approval of Mrs. Song, Lei Qianliu was proud in his heart. I thought that this palace is leading you to make a statement. As long as your old man and Bengong have the same meaning, Bengong will not worry about marrying that wonderful person.
Song Taifu is quite embarrassed in front of the Emperor of the Lei Kingdom, he has been the teacher of the Emperor of the Lei Kingdom, and now he is the teacher of the Prince of the Lei Kingdom. Although he came with Lei Qianliu this time, in fact, it was sent by the Emperor of Lei to restrain Lei Qianliu. If Lei Qianliu didn't marry the princess of Weiyang Palace, but Song Taifu felt that even if he married a clan girl, it wouldn't hurt to go back. Then Lei Qianliu can only obediently marry a clan girl and go back.
Because the meaning of Song Taifu is the meaning of his father.
For this trip, the father told Song Taifu some of the goals and bottom lines to be achieved directly, but did not tell him. In order to test his ability. Song Taifu is not so much an entourage as an examiner. On this trip, all his performances will be told to his father by Mrs. Song after scoring in his heart.
Therefore, it is very important to probe the mind of this old fox and draw this old fox into the same camp as himself. Exploring the mind of this old fox is equivalent to the meaning of visiting his father. After figuring out what his father meant, he could know what to do next. As for pulling Song Taifu into his own camp, it is more conducive to acting on his own.
If the old man is smart enough to remind him directly, he will be able to guess the meaning of his father and make a decision based on it.
This old man is not stupid, so it is certain to be on his side. You don't need to deliberately win over, just a little respect.
What he was going to ask just now was his father's attitude towards the matter of marrying the princess of the Wind Country. Now that he has determined his father's intentions, he also wants to marry the princess of Weiyang Palace in the Wind Country, and he can't let him take half a step, and he can do the next thing boldly.
With the will of his father and his own consciousness, this old man can only help.
"Now there are only two princesses of Weiyang Palace in the Wind Country. It's the two princesses that Bengong and Taifu said just now. Taifu thinks, from what Bengong said, which of the two princesses is more pleasing? โ
"It sounds like the sixth princess is better."
"Yes, and the six princesses are born from the imperial concubines of the dynasty, and their status is noble; And the seventh princess Feng Beiyi was just a beauty who died early, and that beauty's background was quite bad, and before serving the emperor of the Wind Country, she was a singer. โ
"So His Highness means ......"
Lei Qianliu said with a smile: "We can't let the Emperor of the Wind Country humiliate us with a princess with such a humble status. If this palace wants to marry, he will marry the six princesses who are the most noble and born of the imperial concubines. In this way, this marriage has weight. โ
Where can Mrs. Song not see the prince's thoughts? said so many high-sounding reasons, in fact, the real reason is very simple, it is because he has a crush on this sixth princess.
I want to get his support, so that he doesn't talk nonsense in front of the emperor when he turns around. is also telling him, "If you know each other, don't make trouble in this palace." โ
"What Your Highness said is very true. His Royal Highness has a noble status, and it was supposed to be married by their princess. It's a pity that the Queen of the Wind Country is not favored and has only one son. So this most noble one is naturally the sixth princess. In this way, at the banquet in Weiyang Palace, His Royal Highness can directly ask to marry the six princesses. Despite the dowry, if we ask to marry such a noble princess, our sincerity must be shown enough. โ
When Lei Qianliu heard this, she was even more relieved, and said with a smile: "Hey, the dowry is one thing, but with enough dowry, but we can't be sure, we will definitely be able to marry the sixth princess...... This matter cannot be rushed, and it cannot be brought up in a hurry at the banquet of Weiyang Palace. Bengong has an idea, even if the Emperor of the Wind Country is reluctant to marry this daughter, he has to marry. โ
"Oh? Your Highness, please speak. Although Mrs. Song said so calmly, in her heart, she was already secretly complaining.
If His Highness comes up with an idea that can't be put on the table, will he block it, or will he not stop it?
hindered it, offended the future emperor; If you don't stop it, you may see the current emperor guilty.
But apparently, His Highness came to him and made this seemingly nonsense talk, in order to make him not obstruct. It's still important to deal with the trouble in front of him first, he naturally can't offend the prince right now. So no matter what unseemly the prince says, he can only turn a blind eye. Let him do it, and he can't interfere with anything.
Now that the prince has found out the emperor's intentions, he can let go of it happily.
The corners of Lei Qianliu's mouth had a smug smile on his lips, and he said a way to Taifu Song. He asked, "I always think, how about this attention?" โ
"Your Highness's clever plan, wonderful, wonderful."
"In that case, this is what this palace can do. If the father blames the palace for messing around after returning to the palace, the teacher can say a few more words for the palace. After all, the teacher knows about this, and it wasn't this palace that did it behind your back. โ
"Yes, yes......" Mrs. Song replied.
I was already thinking about going back to deal with the emperor's words.
Fortunately, the emperor's intention is there, and the prince makes a little plan to marry a useful person back, and the emperor may not necessarily blame anything.
Knowing what his father meant, and dealing with the people on his side who might be holding him back, Lei Qianliu was even more bold. Deal with a little girl, hehe...... It couldn't be easier.
What's more, he didn't do anything to cook raw rice and mature rice, he just got a concubine who was interested in coming. As long as no one on his side is holding back, as soon as this matter comes out, Zhun Bao will be able to marry Feng Beining back.
Isn't it better to marry such a beautiful and intelligent person than to marry a mediocre person who is disgusting as soon as he opens his mouth?
I thought of it, I did it, sent Mrs. Song away, and was busy acting.
Since the prince of the Wind Country is sick, does he, a guest from afar, have to pay a visit?
He brought a personal retinue, and brought a rather weighty gift from the Thunder Countryโa pure purple and gold Bodhisattva ornament, as tall as his own little arm, and went to the prince's mansion. Purple gold is only found in the Land of Thunder, and even in their Land of Thunder, it is not very common. I heard that in the Linlang Pavilion in Kyoto City, a palm-sized purple gold ornament can cost thousands of taels of silver. It can be seen how precious this thing is in the country of wind.
Now such a valuable thing has given the wind country, a prince in danger who may not be able to keep the position of the crown prince, which is really a bit tyrannical.
But since Song Taifu did not have any opinions on his proposal, it shows that his father's side also has the intention of winning over the prince of the Wind Country to jointly fight against the Emperor of the Wind Country. Now his visit, although the reason is for women, is not really nonsense. It's just that there is an extra layer of meaning added to the original visit.
If my father blames him, it will be too embarrassing for him to spend so much effort for a woman. When the time comes, he will be able to come back with just a few words.
