Chapter 12: Coincidentally, I don't want to
Chapter 12 coincidence, I don't want to
Xiao Ling's eyes darkened slightly, his tone was also a little depressed, he looked at the emperor very sensibly, and said:
"The father does not have to blame himself, the son knows that this is not what the father wants, the territory of the Liang is vast, the soldiers are even stronger, the emperor's grandfather and his generation finally quelled the war with them and reached an agreement, now we should be more committed to the people of the Great Zhou, if the son marries the two countries can continue to be friendly, this is a small force for the son of the Great Zhou, the son does not regret it."
After hearing this, the emperor stared at Xiao Ling in surprise, he originally thought that Xiao Ling would cry in front of him, and asked him to take back his life, but the result was ...... Sure enough, the child grew up and became sensible.
Xiao Ling raised her head, a crystal clear teardrop rolled down her cheek, the emperor wiped it away for her distressedly, Xiao Ling's voice was already a little sobbing, and said:
"However, there is only one thing that the son wants to ask his father to fulfill."
"What?" The emperor looked at his daughter in front of him with tears in her eyes, and she was really distressed.
"Is it okay for the son to ask his father not to rush to make a holy decree? The son also wanted to accompany his father more. ”
"Okay, my father promised you."
Xiao Ling came out of the imperial study and saw Mo'er still waiting outside.
"Princess, why are you crying?" Mo'er looked at Xiao Ling with tears in her eyes, thinking that the emperor had punished her own princess.
"It's fine." Xiao Ling pulled Mo'er outside the imperial study, took the handkerchief handed by Mo'er, wiped the tears on his face, and said to Mo'er:
"Out of the palace."
At the banquet, the emperor personally allowed her to leave the palace at will during this time, and at this time, although it was a little late, she was able to go out after all.
In the middle of the moon, Ye Sili had already laid down in wide clothes, but he could hear the report from the summer.
"Miss, the fifth princess is here."
Ye Sili immediately got up, took a piece of clothing and put it on his body, and let Duchun open the door.
"Xiaoling, it's so late, why are you out of the palace? Hurry up and go into the house, and you take Mo'er down to rest in late spring. Ye Sili looked at Xiao Ling's expression and had already guessed a few points.
Jian Xia brought a change of clothes, turned hot water, and after Xiao Ling finished washing, he sat on the bed with Ye Sili and covered with the quilt.
"Are you saying that the emperor really wants to marry you to Prince Daliang?" Ye Sili frowned slightly, but looking at Xiao Ling's appearance, his expression changed, and he said suspiciously:
"You actually agreed? It's not like your style. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Ling changed his melancholy in the palace, smiled proudly, patted his chest very proudly, and said:
"This princess is so smart, she won't be like those stupid girls in the harem, crying, making trouble and hanging herself at every turn."
Ye Sili's eyes were full of contempt, Xiao Ling pursed his lips and said:
"Well, I'll admit, those three methods really work."
"But!" Xiao Ling is energetic again.
"This princess is also a person who is good at observing the situation and knows how to distinguish the battle situation, the current situation, even if I cry blind, I can't change it, so at this time, obedience is the king's way, didn't I immediately come out to discuss countermeasures with you."
Xiao Ling is not wrong in these words, she has lived in the harem since she was a child, and she has already seen through the warmth and coldness of human feelings, she has been favored by the emperor for so many years, and she is naturally outstanding, that is, she knows how to be content, knows how to be proportionate, and knows how to advance and retreat than women in the harem......
Although the fifth princess is also well-known for being squeamish and willful in the palace, she will never be stupid enough to cry in front of her father in today's situation, which will only annoy her father, and it is better to be "well-behaved" and "sensible".
"Oh, you're pretty good now, and you know how to retreat." Sili quipped.
Xiao Ling raised his chin.
"That's natural, and my father also promised me that I won't make a decree of marriage at the moment." Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows smugly at Si Li.
Ye Sili really admired it now, and said: "Xiaoling, you have really grown up, as long as the holy decree is not issued, the marriage will not be decided, and there is still hope for everything." ”
"So what can you do?" Xiao Ling said as he lay down and shrunk into the quilt.
"Me? You came out of the palace at night, and you didn't think of a good countermeasure? Si Li looked at Xiao Ling, who was lying down, and asked.
Hearing this, Xiao Ling's eyes widened and asked, "Didn't you specially remind me in the afternoon, could it be that you didn't think of a way to deal with it?" ”
"I thought you ran out in a hurry because you thought of a way." Ye Sili pulled the quilt.
Xiao Ling pulled hard, and the quilt was pulled over again.
"I thought you had already figured out what to do, so I came here."
“……”
"So what now? This matter can't be delayed, maybe the father will suddenly make a whim of the holy decree. Xiao Ling was so frightened that he immediately sat up.
Ye Sili touched his chin, thought seriously, and said:
"Since it's a marriage, it's a matter of both parties."
"What do you mean...... Can we start with that prince of Liang? ”
"That's right, marriage is what Da Liang means, as long as Da Liang gives up, won't this marriage be canceled naturally?"
Xiao Ling hugged Ye Sili excitedly, and said happily: "Sili, you are so smart, then we will ask the prince of Daliang out tomorrow to make it clear!" ”
"Hmm." Ye Sili nodded.
Early the next morning.
When Gu Liwu was having breakfast, he found that Ye Sili was not there, so he asked about the late spring.
"Miss went out with the fifth princess early in the morning." Chuan Xia replied.
"The fifth princess is here?" Gu Li took a bowl of porridge and asked casually.
"Yes, I came last night."
Gu Li probably guessed a few points in his heart, looked at the twilight spring in front of him, and asked:
"Ah Li went out, why didn't you two accompany you?"
Twilight replied, "Miss said that she and the fifth princess had something to do, so she didn't let us follow, and even the fifth princess's personal maid, Mo'er, was left behind." ”
Gu Liwu took a sip of porridge, swallowed it, and asked slowly:
"Where do you say they're going?"
"I didn't explain." Chuan Xia replied.
After Gu Liwu finished breakfast, he was about to go out to find Si Li, but was called by Ye Zhongyao, saying that he was looking for him to study the art of war.
Since the two of them came back from the battlefield, Gu Liwu has accompanied Ye Sili every day, Ye Zhongyao is bored alone, he can't stay anymore today, and he must have a good fight with this stinky boy!
Xiao Ling and Ye Sili thought about it all night, and felt that it was a matter of two countries, and they had to find a safe and hidden place to discuss.
So, the two of them made an appointment with Chu Qing in the suburbs early in the morning.
"Two, lonely man...... Two women, this wilderness, it's not big, right? Chu Qing didn't bring his entourage, he looked at the stream in front of him with his hands, but his expression was not the slightest reluctance or embarrassment.
"Your Highness Yasu, do you know what we are looking for you today? So trusting to go to the appointment alone? Xiao Ling looked around and made sure there was no one else.
Chu Qing looked at Xiao Ling unabashedly, his expression was a little contemptuous, and he said disdainfully:
"Do you think it's up to the two of you to help me?"
Looking at Chu Qing's expression, Xiao Ling was like a lit cannonball, and his words were unceremonious.
"Chu Qing, I didn't expect you to be such a two-faced person, yesterday in front of my father and emperor was still a good nephew, and today your true form is revealed!"
Chu Qing didn't pay attention to Xiao Ling's "fried hair" at all, glanced at her, and said, "The fifth princess and the county lord of Le'an personally invited each other, shouldn't they have come to find out what the character of this palace is?" ”
"Who is rare...... Xiao Ling was about to go back, but was pulled by Ye Sili.
Ye Sili looked at Chu Qing and said with a faint smile:
"Your Highness is both wise and brave, and your intelligence is unparalleled, I guess you guessed the purpose of the two of us looking for you today, right?" Ye Sili looked at Chu Qing squarely, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he didn't dodge at all.
I heard that Prince Daliang was careful and cautious, how could he pay attention to the appointment alone when he first came to Da Zhou, Chu Qing would stand here at this time, which showed that he probably had the purpose of the two of them in his heart, or he also had this plan.
"The county lord is smart." Only then did Chu Qing look at Ye Sili.
Ye Sili didn't say much, but asked after him: "Your Highness, I don't know if Le An's guess is correct or not?" ”
Chu Qing looked at Ye Sili, chuckled, and said, "Do you want me to refuse this marriage?" ”
Xiao Ling looked at it seriously and said, "Yes, this marriage is only solved by you." ”
"Why?" Chu Qing smiled, as if he didn't care, and continued: "This marriage is beneficial and harmless to my Great Liang, as the prince of Great Liang, why should this palace help you?" ”
"I only met you yesterday, and I only said two more words today, without any emotional foundation, how can I get married?" Xiao Ling looked at Chu Qing's appearance of not caring at all, and was a little anxious.
Chu Qing listened to Xiao Ling's words, and seemed to feel a little ridiculous, and said: "Being in the royal family, isn't the fifth princess still thinking about marrying a lover who is consensual and has raised eyebrows?" ”
Without waiting for Xiao Ling to say more, Chu Qing suddenly said with a straight face: "You and I are both in the royal family, and from the moment we were born, even our lives do not belong to us, let alone marriage...... With your and my identities, marriage is destined to be a bargaining chip in national politics, how can we talk about love? ”
"But I don't want to marry you!" Xiao Ling was blunt, staring at Chu Qing and said seriously.
Ye Sili didn't speak, and looked at Chu Qing lightly.
Chu Qing suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ling, the corners of his lips hooked, and said, "Coincidentally, I don't want to." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Ling didn't seem to expect Chu Qing to react like this, but he didn't know what to say for a while, and asked in disbelief:
"You're saying you don't want this marriage to be successful either?"
Chu Qing raised his eyebrows and acquiesced.
Finally understood what Chu Qing meant, Xiao Ling immediately blossomed, grabbed Ye Sili beside him, jumped up and down and said excitedly:
"Great, great! Si Li, I don't have to marry him! Hahahahaha! ”
Xiao Ling seemed to be crazy for a while, Ye Sili didn't control her, so he had to pull Xiao Ling's sleeve vigorously and grab her arm, so he barely controlled Xiao Ling.
Ye Sili glanced at Xiao Ling, the smile on Xiao Ling's face froze, and immediately took it back, realizing that his actions were too terrifying, he touched the tip of his nose with some embarrassment, and secretly glanced at Chu Qing, and sure enough, Chu Qing did look shocked.
