Chapter 497: Are You Really Going to Marry Him?
The chief eunuch said, "There must be some misunderstanding in the matter of the Lord of Fude. ”
Chen Yue's face turned pale, and he said, "That Mo Yan is her husband who taught her to read."
The other two generals are the sons of her godfather. ”
The big eunuch was stunned for a moment, and could only persuade him: "It's Princess Qinqing who misunderstood, the king should take care of his health, listen to Lord Fude, go to bed early." ”
Chen Yue went to bed in a huff.
I have to listen to Xiao Haitang and go to bed early.
The body matters.
However, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep.
Anyway, on the side of Xiao Haitang, how did she know that Princess Qinqing actually went to sue her.
After attending the banquet, she couldn't wait to go back to read the letter.
It was a letter written by Zhou Yuanzheng to her, in which he told her that winter had passed, spring was coming, and it was time for her to come back.
What did Siqing say that he couldn't sleep at night.
also said that he walked alone in the Hundred Flowers Palace, alone.
He also said that the night in the Baihua Palace was too empty and the night was too cold.
He didn't say it so bluntly, but it was enough for a tiger wolf.
Xiao Haitang looked at these tiger and wolf words, with a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and he could more or less imagine what his expression was when he wrote the letter.
So, she also wrote to him with a pen, and prepared to bring it back to him when the envoy returned.
She is now in the palace of the King of Chu, so naturally she can't have too much to do with foreign countries.
Although his grandfather could trust him, if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew about this, they didn't know what kind of turmoil would happen.
In order to avoid trouble, it is necessary to pay attention to it.
The next day, Chen Yue discussed the marriage with the courtiers in the court.
The courtiers all said in unison that marriage was a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and this thing must be agreed, which would benefit them and do no harm.
Although Chen Guo has just been founded, they have already heard about the auspicious things from the sky, so it is in accordance with the mandate of heaven to befriend them.
Moreover, their Chu State had a very wide friendship with Chen Guojun, and when Chen Guojun was in trouble, Chu State once sent a large army to suppress the border and contain the army of Daliang.
Song, Yan, and Zhao all held a wait-and-see state, did not help Chen Guojun, and turned a blind eye to Daliang's plea for help.
Only they Chu Guo came to help and did the right thing for the sky.
At the time, these courtiers were all against it, but now it seems that the king has taken the right step.
At this time, everyone thought that the object of marriage was Princess Qinqing.
After all, to marry the king of a country, they have to choose a noble one who can be worthy of the monarch of others.
So, who is the most suitable in the entire Chu State?
It's nothing more than Princess Qinqing.
None of the people present had considered Lord Fud.
In their eyes, it was a political marriage.
They all want to maximize their interests, and it would be best if they could win over Hancheng, a small border city on the border between the two countries.
Although Hancheng is small, it has been a strategic location since ancient times.
This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so whoever falls into the hands will be more beneficial to whom.
The ministers all instigated Chen Yue to ask Chen Guo for this small city.
The more Chen looked at them, the more excited he became, the more he said, the more he didn't speak, let them say it themselves, and then talk about it after they had fun.
When the ministers found out that they were discussing matters on their own, and their own king did not say a word, they gradually stopped talking.
Chen Yue saw that they didn't say anything, so he asked: "You let the lonely king ask for Hancheng, how much dowry do you think the secretary should buy for the county lord?" ”
As soon as he said this, the ministers all looked at each other.
They caught two important points, the first is that the object of marriage is the county lord, not Princess Qinqing.
Second, they had to pay a dowry.
For a while, everyone was silent, and they were a little unsure what the king meant?
Chen Yue was very satisfied with their shocked expressions, and asked, "Isn't it possible that your daughter doesn't need to buy a dowry when she gets married?" ”
"This ......," the crowd did not know what to say.
They thought about the marriage between the two countries, and they only thought about getting benefits from each other, where did they think that they would have to buy a dowry?
Su Cheng avoided the important and asked, "Is the king preparing to let the lord of Fude marry?" The identity of the lord of Fude County is not as good as Princess Qinqing, I wonder why the king didn't let Princess Qinqing go? ”
The others also nodded as if they had found a topic to hide their embarrassment, and said:
"That is, if you marry the monarch, you naturally want to be a princess with a noble status, otherwise the other party will definitely think that our sincerity is not enough."
Chen Yue said: "Don't you even know? Chen Guojun came to ask for a marriage to our Lord of Fude. ”
The crowd was dumbfounded.
They really don't know.
"Let's talk about the dowry, how much do you think is appropriate?" Chen Yue asked.
They all shut up.
Chen Yue thought to himself, if Xiao Haitang was an ordinary girl, of course he would be happy to calculate.
After all, every inch of the country was fought down by the soldiers, and it was defended by everyone who was born and died, and every inch more was more.
But is she an ordinary person?
If he calculates her today, he may retribution come to his head one day.
He wasn't willing to take risks.
Yesterday, Xiao Haitang saw the dowry gifts brought by others, and she looked distressed, obviously her heart was towards Zhou Yuanzheng's side.
No matter which side she had in mind, he made up his mind to get on good terms with them.
Since he met Xiao Haitang and them, the things that he couldn't handle for many years have been handled smoothly.
She had saved his life twice in a row, and if it weren't for her, he would probably have rusted his bones by now.
And such a dangerous matter as the seizure of the prince by the sons was easily settled by her, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
After discussing it for a long time, it was finally decided to wait until the other party had given all the dowry before discussing the dowry.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and came out one after another.
Xiao Haitang was invited to go shopping with Mo Yan and them in Chudu, accompanied by the fifth prince, who was Xiao Haitang's fifth uncle.
She has a good impression of this fifth uncle, because she is more self-aware than other princes.
When competing for the position of prince, he has not been busy with the team.
Either he has the deepest thoughts and wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman, or he really has self-knowledge and knows that the crown prince will not come to him.
Either way, he didn't show any ill will towards their family, and he was a humble gentleman.
Chen Jingyan led their group around Chudu, without deliberately currying favor with Xiao Haitang, but in a crowded place, they would still subconsciously protect her.
Li Jia is naturally inseparable from Qiu Xia, Gu Ting'an kept raising his eyebrows, and said, "Brother Li, isn't it a little bad that you are pestering Sister Qiu Xia so much?" ”
Li Jia's face sank and said, "She is my future daughter-in-law, I don't pester her, who am I pestering?" ”
Gu Ting'an's beautiful eyes looked at Qiu Xia and asked, "Sister Qiu Xia, do you really want to marry him?"
He is just a piece of wood with two eyes, there is no interest at all, if you really want to marry him, you may not be bored in the future. ”
