Chapter Ninety-Seven: Yuexi Erjiao
However, at this moment, above the court hall of the Yuexi Kingdom, a tense confrontation was being staged.
The group of people standing on the left side of the court hall is mainly headed by Prince Yi, while the right is headed by Prime Minister Situ Nan.
The emperor above the high position, looking at the disagreement of everyone in front of him, said: "Is there no way to compromise a little?" ”
Hearing the emperor's words, Situ Nan first stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that if we take harmony as the premise. The people don't have to be involved in the war, and with Yuexi's current financial strength, it really can't be compared with Southern Xia. Please think twice! ”
The royal family name of Yuexi Country is Ouyang, and the emperor in his fifties in the high position is also the second generation of Yuexi's monarch, named Ouyang Yi, he was also quite loved by the people during his reign, and Yuexi gradually got rid of his downtrophed status under his rule, successively, each emperor has his own ambitions, this time, if Yuexi did not take the initiative to provoke the war, he would not have ended up in a difficult situation now.
I saw him frown, lowered his eyes and thought about it, half a sound, and said in a deep voice: "It's not impossible to be close!" It's just that the princesses to be married in the palace are all out of the cabinet, and there is no suitable candidate, besides, this war was provoked by our country first, if Nanxia is unwilling, wouldn't it be a loss of face? ”
As long as he thought of this problem, Ouyang Yi had an incomparably headache, originally thinking that Nanxia was now in turmoil, coupled with the fact that the original Yuanbo Hou Xiahou Yuan was executed, and the Xiahou family was also destroyed, and there was nothing to scruple about, but where did he know, suddenly a Nan Yu appeared inexplicably, this person is more tricky than Xiahou Yuan, and it is really difficult to deal with, thinking that he Yuexi has prepared troops for three years, and in several battles with him, he has really suffered heavy losses, and the current emperor of Southern Xia is not easy to deal with. Thinking of this, Ouyang Yi inevitably felt a little headache, and raised his hand to rub his forehead.
Without Situ Nan to speak, Yi Wangye, who was standing on the left, took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this move is very inappropriate, let's not say whether Nanxia agrees or not, if I Yuexi bows my head to it like this, then won't it fall everywhere in the future?" Therefore, the main battle of Weichen is not suitable for affinity, and please think twice about the emperor! ”
Listening to what Prince Yi said, Ouyang Yi felt that it also made sense, and couldn't help nodding, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Situ Nan again, and he really couldn't make up his mind, both of them had a reason, and now they were powerless in battle, and they couldn't take Nanxia's attitude if they didn't occupy it, Ouyang Yi didn't feel a headache.
I had to put it aside for the time being, let him think about it, and waved his hand to the people of His Royal Highness: "It seems that it is difficult for all the ministers to reach an agreement today, so I will retire from the dynasty for the time being, and I will think about it again." ”
A group of palace people immediately stepped forward and shouted at everyone, "Retreat." ”
Without saluting everyone, Ouyang Yi got up and left, and now the more he looked at these people, the more irritated he became.
In Yixue Pavilion, Ling Xuejiao snuggled in Princess Yi's arms and said coquettishly: "Mother, you said that my sister has been married to the prince's mansion for three months, why don't you see the prince come to visit?" Even when I came back to the door, my sister was alone! ”
These words suddenly said to Princess Yi's heart, and it was really not light, I saw her frowning, raised her hand and gently stroked Ling Xuejiao's satin-like green silk, and sighed: "Today's prince is very withdrawn, even his mother is very rare, and only he has seen a few times when he was a child, and now it is like this, alas...... Xu was the early death of Empress Wanjun, and he had never enjoyed maternal love since he was a child, so he was like now, nesting in the prince's mansion all day long, if it weren't for the emperor's thoughts, his prince's throne would not have been able to do so long now. ”
Princess Yi said, with a faint sadness on her face, thinking of her pity, she couldn't help but feel a little pity, but they were in the official palace, this is her life!
Ling Xue Jiao Xu felt Princess Yi's grief, and couldn't help but sit up straight, and hugged Princess Yi's body tightly on her side, "Mother, don't worry about your sister, you think your sister is not me, she is elf!" ”
"You......" Princess Yi heard this, and scratched the tip of Xue Jiao's nose with a smile: "After waking up, I became much more lively, and even my mother almost suspected that you were still not my daughter!" ”
Suddenly, Ling Xuejiao's face stiffened a lot, maybe she thought of what to write? His eyes couldn't help but flicker.
Her eyes lowered, and her voice was a little hoarse unconsciously: "Mother...... I will always be your daughter......"
Princess Yi didn't notice anything, and hugged Xue Jiao's body back, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, you...... I'm my mother's daughter all my life......"
The brilliance of mother's love may be like this, unconsciously I can only see that warmth, that feeling of peace of mind, incomparable warmth.
Ling Xuejiao unconsciously tightened her arms and hugged Princess Yi's body tightly, as if she was afraid that all this would disappear, she silently closed her eyes, and couldn't help but think of that night of thunder and lightning.
When she woke up again, she had become a different person, and who would believe it?
She is no longer Xiahou Meiwu.
A year ago, when she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by people, walking around busily, when she woke up, Princess Yi was the first person in her mind, and she was also the person she could never forget in her life, her face was full of tears, and she held her tightly in her arms, this embrace was so warm, she thought at the time, this may be her mother's embrace.
But when she completely woke up, she found that she had become Ling Xuejiao, a petite and delicate woman, she couldn't believe that she had been looking in the mirror all day long, but she found that all this was true.
Ling Xuejiao, she envies her very much, she has a father and mother who love her very much, and a warm home, she has a sister who loves her meticulously, everything about her is enviable, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, she is a person who is born frail and sickly, and she can't help but feel pity, but Mei Wu doesn't think so, she likes her, she likes everything about this woman, and she likes her family.
When she understood that this woman was the Lingxue Jiao of the time capital Yuexi Erjiao, she was a little stunned, and spent three days in a blur, she didn't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, everything in the Xiahou family was vivid, Si Tengfeng's injury still had not faded away in her heart, she thought about revenge, but the days in the palace made her experience the family affection that she had never had, she was timid, she didn't want to lose this hard-won happiness, she retreated, she didn't want the happiness held tightly in her hands to disappear.
So she told herself that from now on, she is Ling Xuejiao, no longer Xiahou Meiwu, and she has done it, she is not like the previous Meiwu, gentle and elegant, like a noble peony, like a hollow valley orchid, she is just a Lingxue Jiao who lives in freedom.
Thinking of these, a tear fell inexplicably on Xue Jiao's face, it's been a year, and she still can't forget the harm caused by that identity for a year, she still can't forget those innocent people who died, and her Ruo'er, thinking of Ruo'er's death, she has always been haunted, if it weren't for her recklessness, how could Ruo'er die?
Princess Yi seemed to notice that something was wrong with Xue Jiao, and in the past, at this time, Xue Jiao would look up at her and smile and say: Of course.
But today's daughter was a little thoughtful, and Princess Yi patted Xue Jiao's back: "Xiaojiao, is there something on your mind?" ”
Princess Xiaoyi and Prince Yi have always called their sisters Xiaojiao and Dajiao, especially when calling Lingxijiao and Dajiao, Lingxijiao will always say with a cold face: Don't call me Dajiao, it sounds like calling me big-footed.
One sentence made the whole family laugh.
"Nope!" Xue Jiao got up in the arms of Princess Ziyi, looked at the princess, and said with a smile: "Mother, you think too much, my daughter is thinking, since my sister can't come back to see us, why don't you Xue Jiao go to visit my sister?" ”
"...... like this" Princess Yi hesitated a little and began to think deeply, which is not impossible to reason: "It's better to wait for your father to come back, my mother can't be the master, after all, your sister has only been married for three months, and it's better for your father to call the shots." ”
"En" Xue Jiao nodded heavily.
As he was talking, he remembered the deep voice of Lord Yi outside the door: "What are you two waiting for me to come back to?" ”
As he spoke, he stepped into the room, and he looked around at the two of them: "I don't know what the two of them have to say every day, and when they come back, they want to find someone, and they have to make a detour to their daughter's house." Yi Wang Ye muttered, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's just that I'm too lucky, I married a wife that no one dares to marry, and I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky!" ”
As she spoke, she sat down beside Princess Yi, Xue Jiao pursed her lips, looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Daddy, look, my mother's face is green!" ”
"Really?" Yi Wang Ye immediately looked sideways, only to see Princess Yi staring at him with a cold face, he was really startled, he made a mistake, he made a mistake, Yi Wang Ye laughed a few times, and quickly changed the topic: "What did you say just now?" looked at Xue Jiao: "Xiaojiao, hurry up and tell your father." ”
"Oh." Xue Jiao nodded: "We are talking, can we go and see my sister, I miss my sister a little, so I want to ask my father what he means." ”
When Wang Ye heard this, he lowered his head unconsciously, thought for a while, and then raised his head and said: "It's not impossible, it's just that the prince wants to be cold to people, and he rarely interacts with people, and my father is just afraid that you will not understand the rules when you first arrive at someone's house." ”
When Xue Jiao heard this, she immediately got up, "My daughter promises not to cause trouble to my sister, father, you can rest assured." ”
Yi Wang Ye nodded helplessly: "Then you can go, I will ask Uncle Zhang to prepare the carriage, and you can prepare first." At the end, it was not in vain to say a few words: "You are not in good health, pay attention to it, wear more clothes, and now the weather is a lot colder, let your mother help you pack up a few autumn clothes." ”
Princess Yi also got up and said, "Of course, this daughter, there is no day that can reassure me!" ”
For a long time, when Prince Yi and Princess Yi left, it was noon, Xue Jiao packed up some things, took Xiaowan, got into the carriage, and went towards the prince's mansion. ”
immediately provoked Princess Yi with a roll of her eyes, "If you don't speak, no one will say that you are dumb, but you say some frustrating words, Da Jiao is married, and only Xiao Jiao can talk to me, you don't see people all day long, and you are busy with those political affairs every day, are you embarrassed to say me?" ”
Princess Yi reprimanded, and said that Prince Yi was speechless, so she had to whisper: "Yes, yes, yes, it is for the husband to ignore you, can you apologize for the husband?" ”
