Chapter 3042: Asking to marry a princess?
However, the big men of the Manchu Dynasty thought more, Meng Xingci grew up too fast. This person really wants to have a family background, he wants to be talented, and he is only in his twenties, and he already has a soaring momentum, and I don't know how many people are in the way.
Grow too fast, so you ignore hidden enemies.
It depends on how the eldest grandson of the Meng family should respond.
Meng Xingci smiled: "I just withdrew from the peace talks, it's nothing, such a trivial matter can't defeat me." After a pause, she said solemnly: "Do you think I was wronged in vain?" The old ladies of the Bai family have come out to sell miserably, won't I? I'm still worried that they are too polite to me, and the scolding is not bad enough. ”
Ye Xun understood after a little thought, and he gently tugged at the corners of his lips.
"Then I don't want to, I don't want to hear them say that about you, you're obviously very good." Ye Xun said softly.
Meng Xingci met his eyes and smiled slightly.
There is a person who cares about you all the time and misses you, even if he sees the previous scars, he will feel distressed.
Without Meng Xingci's peace talks, the progress was much smoother. Takeda Jiro was deliberately targeting Meng Xingci, and after Meng Xingci withdrew from the peace talks, his attitude softened a lot, and even the conditions for the peace talks were no longer insisted on, and he made concessions.
In this way, it really seems that Meng Xingci has affected the peace talks between the two countries, and there are more voices of doubt about Meng Xingci inside and outside.
Many people began to ridicule Meng Xingci, and it turned out that Meng Xingci did not do everything well.
Since Meng Xing resigned from the Yan Hui Pass, his political achievements along the way are covetous. Others can make a success when they complete one thing, and Meng Xingci is one meritorious service after another.
She seems to be omnipotent, without her not doing bad things, the emperor does not hide his respect and trust in Meng Xingci.
But now, this omnipotent Meng Xingci finally made a mistake, as if the god suddenly fell from the altar and fell into the mortal world, it turns out that she will also make mistakes, and she also has bad things.
This made more and more people ridicule Meng Xingci, and Fang Yushi was also mentioned again and again.
However, Meng Xingci didn't care about this, he lived in a simple place, and didn't care about all the ridicule voices outside.
On the day of the beginning of winter, the peace talks between Dongying and Daqi were finally settled.
Both sides breathed a sigh of relief, except for Prince An. Because after finalizing the terms of the peace talks, his marriage with Princess Aiko was also completely decided.
Princess Aiko first followed the mission back to Dongying, and then in the spring of the following year, Prince An went to Dongying to greet his relatives again to show his respect for the princess.
This is also the result of the peace talks between the two countries, and it was also proposed by the officials of Daqi.
Ye Xun exuded cold air when he talked about it: "It's the first time I know that if you send it to Princess Heqin and bring it back, you have to ask Prince An to marry in person!" This group of wine bags and rice bags know that they blindly compromise and make concessions. ”
Meng Xingci raised his eyebrows: "Then Prince An is going to be angry." ”
Of course, Prince An was angry, and ran into the palace to complain to Zhao Jin that day, the crying handful of snot and tears, holding Zhao Jin's thigh and not letting go.
"Brother Huang, my brother's life is miserable. It's all that Meng Xingci fooled me, saying that asking to marry that beloved princess can relieve the royal brother's worries, for the sake of the imperial brother, even if I want to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I am also willing. But she is a princess of Heqin, why does she want her younger brother to go to Dongying to ask for marriage? Isn't this a shame for me? The younger brother was reluctant to ...... No, my brother is reluctant to give up the royal brother! ”
The corners of Zhao Jin's mouth twitched, watching his dragon robe being rubbed with snot, and he wanted to kick this unconscious brother away, but he couldn't bear it, so he had to endure it.
Even if he is an emperor, there are many helplessness, Zhao Jin silently recited this sentence ten times, and then he was calm.
Zhao Jin said patiently: "I know that I have wronged the ninth brother, and I also know that the ninth brother and I have a deep brotherly relationship. It was indeed the fault of those ministers......"
Prince An raised his head and looked at Zhao Jin with a blank look, interrupting him: "Brother Huang, do you want to say but?" ”
Zhao Jin was a little embarrassed in his heart, but he still nodded without changing his face: "The ninth brother really has a relationship with me, but, but now that the wood is in the boat, there is no way." But fortunately, in the end, the peace talks went well, and you can be considered a ...... Well, it wasn't in vain. ”
Prince An sighed lightly and sobbed: "Forget it, for the sake of the imperial brother, I am willing to do anything." It's just Brother Huang, what are you going to do, Lord Meng? ”
Since Fang Yushi's death, Meng Xingci has been in the palace, and the emperor has not let her hold any official position. Although Meng Xingci didn't care, Prince An was anxious.
He knew that Meng Xingci was a capable official, and he couldn't let her be so idle at home, so he came to intercede with Meng Xingci.
Zhao Jin glanced at him meaningfully: "You are very concerned about Meng Xingci, it is rumored that you have a very personal relationship with Meng Xingci, but I didn't expect that the ninth brother would intercede for Meng Xingci." ”
Prince An nodded generously: "I, I always go to her house to eat, now that she has been wronged, it is not good to turn a blind eye." Brother Huang, I can see that Master Meng is an ambitious, capable, and sincere person for the country. That Fang Yushi, they all said that he was full of style, and he thought that he would die to make his will, but in fact, he was an old fool and had no benefit to the country's society. A person like Master Meng, she is really good for Daqi and the emperor's brother, I can't bear to see her buried. ”
As a prince, it is not a good thing to have a close relationship with the ministers of the court, what do you want to do as a prince with such a good relationship with the minister? If you change to a suspicious emperor, I am afraid that you will have to wonder if Prince An has ill intentions, but Prince An believes in the brotherhood between himself and Zhao Jin, and he can't bear to see Meng Xingci buried.
Zhao Jin smiled with relief: "The ninth brother has grown up, don't worry, those who have the ability will not be buried." After a pause, he said meaningfully: "Do you think that Meng Shoufu will have no foundation in the court for decades?" Can he watch his eldest grandson being wronged? ”
Meng Qingyan has been in the dynasty for decades and has been the first assistant for more than 30 years, Meng Xingci is his carefully cultivated successor, how could he watch her fall into trouble.
Prince An nodded thoughtfully, and he clapped his hands heartily and stood up: "Since this is the case, then the younger brother will rest assured." The younger brother didn't bother the royal brother, so he took his leave first. After a pause, he couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid that Meng Xingci will be in a bad mood for the past two days, so I didn't dare to go to dinner, I'll go now." ”
Prince An turned around and left, Zhao Jin looked at his back, and scolded angrily: "Walking so fast, I'm afraid that I will leave him to eat in the palace, are you so unpalatable to make things in this imperial dining room?" ”
