CHAPTER XXXIV
Li Yanjun even suspected that something was wrong with his ears for a moment.
In the already solemn imperial study, it almost became dull for a moment, and I only saw Su Jinyan who was smiling slightly, Qin Yue who was expressionless, and Li Yanjun, who was becoming more and more nervous.
Li Yanjun felt his forehead start to sweat.
It was obviously very cool weather, but he felt that there seemed to be a brazier under the stool in the imperial study, and he himself was lying on top of the brazier, being baked over and over.
The beads of sweat on his forehead slid down Li Yanjun's mature and handsome side face, and sank into the collar from his upright and rigorous jaw along the Adam's apple that kept sliding up and down.
Li Yanjun felt that his mouth was very dry, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound.
The attendants bent over and bowed their heads to serve tea. Then he cautiously withdrew from the study, which seemed to be getting more and more serious, and closed the door lightly.
Gonggong Li stood at the door of the imperial study.
He is not young anymore, he has been serving in the palace since Qin Yue's father was still the crown prince. Later, after three generations of emperors, he gradually became the chief attendant of this great inner forbidden palace. Therefore, he can see many things in the palace clearly, and he also has a record of his own in his heart.
Although there is a lot of intrigue in the palace, perhaps the relationship between relatives of the heavenly family is much less indifferent than that of ordinary people. But it's not without pure feelings.
For example, when the emperor favored the queen alone, there was only the only hostess in the huge harem. And the son and daughter she gave birth to naturally became the pearl of the entire royal family.
For another example, the love of the saint for that woman today is so unforgettable that even an old man like Gonggong Li, who has long been impressed by love, seems to have softened his heart with his master.
After the little chamberlains brought in the tea, they saluted Gonggong Li respectfully, and then left from the outside of the imperial study without a sound.
Nowadays, the saints and the left and right sides are gathered together, and they don't need to ask, and they know that the things discussed today are definitely not trivial.
Gonggong Li looked at the clear blue sky with some melancholy. It was not yet noon, and a few clouds occasionally drifted through the sky. He sighed silently, unable to tell what he was feeling in his heart.
But he knew that this palace, which had not had a mistress for a long time, was about to usher in its new spring.
Li Yanjun clenched his fists, and then relaxed, the tea sent by the waiter was obviously on his right hand, but he seemed to be stupid, he just felt that his throat was extremely dry and hoarse, but he never thought of taking a sip of tea to moisten his lips.
Su Jinyan smiled silently, reached out and took a sip of the teacup, and said with a smile: "Good tea!" ”
Qin Yue's gaze turned over him, he also took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Li Aiqing is dissatisfied with the establishment of Su Xia as the next thing? ”
Li Yanjun was not dissatisfied at all, but he didn't have time to react in his mind at all.
The Li family can be regarded as a prestigious family in Canglan, although it is not as good as the Su family's status in Tianlan, but it has also produced talents from generation to generation. It's just that most of them are elegant readers, with strict family education, and they are always cautious in their words and deeds, and they are very low-key. And although there are many people who have been in politics in previous dynasties, they are not like the Su family, who will produce characters like Su Yi, the god of war, or Su Jinyan. They can be regarded as typical representatives of a family with a lot of accumulation.
But the Canglan monarch has always relied heavily on the Li family. Although Su Jinyan's left phase is above Li Yanjun's right phase, it was Li Yanjun who was willing to give it up. And it doesn't mean that in Qin Yue's eyes, Su Jinyan is even more important.
There are almost no important ministers in the Canglan Dynasty who don't know Qin Yue's love for Tianlan's divine doctor Su Xia. If the other party is just the daughter of the Su family, then it will be easy to do, even if she already has a lover, she can send an envoy to ask for marriage. I am afraid that Emperor Tianlan will definitely agree for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
But the difficulty is that Su Xia turned out to be the lover of Tianlan's current emperor, Luo Feng. The deeds of the two people, I am afraid that not only the important ministers of Canglan, but even the people of Canglan have heard of it.
In addition, in the battle of the Tianlan Canglan border pass back then, the divine doctor Su Xia was merciful, and there were countless living people. Among them are not only people who have Tianlan, but also many people who are in the vicissitudes of life. Therefore, although Su Xia is the concubine of the first family of Tianlan, the nickname of this miracle doctor is not only in Tianlan. It is the honorific title that the people of the two countries willingly gave her.
Therefore, if their majesty forcibly sends someone to ask for marriage, I am afraid that even the people of Canglan will be dissatisfied with it. Not to mention the people of Tianlan who had long regarded Su Xia as a quasi-queen.
Li Yanjun only felt sweat trickling down.
Their monarch is naturally an incomparably wise and martial generation of Ming monarchs. Not only did he govern the country well, but he was also extremely brave and invincible on the battlefield.
But marrying Su Xia as the queen of such a thing not only requires bravery, nor does it only need the backing of a strong country.
The key is still - the people's heart!
If the people want, everything can be done. If the people's hearts are back, it will be difficult!
In Li Yanjun's eyes, if their monarch insisted on marrying Su Xia, it would really be a betrayal of the people's will.
But he also knew that their emperor was by no means such an ignorant and reckless person, and there must be some reason why he would say such things.
It's just that Li Yanjun knows that his daughter is lovesick, and he is afraid that he will turn into floating clouds.
Qin Yue didn't wait for Li Yanjun's answer for a long time, slowly put down the teacup, and reminded lightly: "Li Aiqing? ”
Li Yanjun cheered up, stood up and saluted Qin Yue respectfully, and said: "The minister is afraid, the divine doctor Su Xia is the queen who was married by Emperor Tianlan, although the big wedding has not yet been held, but this matter has been announced to the world. His Majesty's sword snatches love, which is really not what Mingjun did. ”
He's a nerd with a temper tantrum and says whatever he wants. Moreover, he also knew that Qin Yue would never be the kind of unscrupulous monarch who indiscriminately surrendered to his subordinates.
Li Yanjun even glanced at Su Jinyan and reminded him: "Lord Zuo seems to have known about this for a long time, but I don't know what Your Excellency thinks?" ”
Su Jinyan stood up with a smile, hugged his fists at Li Yanjun and said, "If Your Majesty can marry the divine doctor Su Xia as the queen, it will be a great good thing for me." But for the right minister, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. ”
He looked at Li Yanjun with a smile, although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of his words was already very clear: You are for your daughter, so you definitely don't want others to be this queen!
Li Yanjun was furious!
He has always been loyal to Qin Yue, although he has always known his daughter's thoughts, but before Qin Yue has plans to establish a future, he has never mentioned this matter. Even if he later wrote to Qin Yue with the courtiers, hoping that he could think of the country and the mountains and the society, spread out the branches and leaves, and leave a legacy for the Canglan royal family, he also had a clear conscience and never thought that he would do this in order to send his daughter to the palace.
Su Jin's words made him feel insulted.
His face turned red with anger, and even the green tendons on his neck seemed to bulge out in an instant, and then Li Yanjun said angrily to Su Jinyan: "Lord Zuo Xiang's words, I really don't dare to agree with it. ”
He turned his head to face Qin Yue, respectfully clasped his fists at him and saluted: "The minister thinks that you can't marry Su Xia, but you are just afraid of the diplomatic relations between the two countries. As for the little girl, whether she can enter the palace or not depends on her blessings, and it has nothing to do with this matter at all. ”
Qin Yue nodded slowly, and said noncommittally: "What does it have to do with the diplomatic relations between the two countries when I marry Su Xia?" ”
Li Yanjun's eyes widened in disbelief, almost thinking that it was not their wise and martial monarch sitting on the throne.
Su Xia is the queen that Tianlan's new emperor Luo Feng has already chosen, which is a well-known thing in the world. If their majesty wants to marry Su Xia, it is to force the wife of the emperor of another country. Not to mention a big country like Tianlan, even a smaller country may not be able to bear this breath.
Moreover, when Tianlan won the throne, the government was chaotic, and Canglan could not easily gnaw this hard bone when he took advantage of the situation. Qin Yue, who was still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, was even lost in the vast mountains, which shook the entire Canglan Imperial Court. Although he later returned safely, the morale of Canglan who invaded Tianlan was obviously frustrated because of this incident.
Coupled with the fact that Luo Feng and Su Yijun joined forces in front of the army, Yiwen and Wuwu simply cooperated seamlessly.
Because of this, their Emperor His Majesty was forced into the vast mountains and did not return until seven days and seven nights later.
Li Yanjun was a prisoner of the army back then, and until now when he looks back, he still remembers the mood like an ant on a hot pot back then, and he also remembers the feeling of tiredness that he felt relieved when he saw Qin Yue returning to the army safe and sound.
Therefore, if the two countries clash again, the vicissitudes may not be able to take advantage of much. He understood this matter, and he believed that Su Jinyan should also understand, let alone Qin Yue.
And he still remembered the woman in red who rode the phoenix for thousands of miles at that time, and also remembered the tightly clenched fist of His Majesty the Emperor at that time, riding on a unicorn.
He knew at that time that the girl hovering in mid-air was Su Xia, the divine doctor who was as famous as the sun in the hearts of the people and soldiers of the two countries. So he once thought that the woman had affection for His Royal Highness the Prince.
At that time, in the Canglan army, I was afraid that most of the high-level generals had offered their words and suggestions, hoping that their Royal Highness the Crown Prince could bring back the divine doctor. In their eyes, Su Xia, who was able to send thousands of miles alone and was obviously reluctant to give up on His Royal Highness the Prince, was probably already in love with His Royal Highness.
For such a thing, they are naturally happy to see it come true. Moreover, Su Xia was born in the first family of Tianlan, if she can be their crown princess, even if she can't enter the middle palace in the future, she will definitely be one of the four concubines. For Canglan, there are only benefits and no disadvantages.
But Qin Yue refused.
He didn't even explain to the generals why he refused, and he didn't even look back at Na Suxia, he clenched his fists like this, straightened his back, and walked forward without looking back.
Until, Su Xia returned lonely with a disappointed face.
