Chapter 309: It's just mercenary
Princess Pingnan couldn't believe it.
"You have passed the age of establishment, and you are the future head of the Langya Wang family, how can you have no heir?"
Wang Qiheng smiled indifferently, "Wang is willing to wait for His Royal Highness for another three years for the love in his heart." Three years later, His Royal Highness still did not fall in love with Wang. Wang reconciled with His Royal Highness and divorced, and since then they have been married. ”
After hearing this, Princess Pingnan believed it instead.
As the future head of the family, he must not be childless all the time, if it is only for three years, but in exchange for the support of King Pingnan, this transaction is really not a loss.
Although Wang Qiheng kept saying that he was in love with her, Princess Pingnan didn't believe it. None of them are at the age of losing their minds for love.
This did not prevent Princess Pingnan from being tempted by Wang Qiheng's proposal.
The family affair provided by Wang Qiheng gave her too much freedom. The emperor is old, the dragon chair will eventually be replaced, if the Pingnan palace can be supported in advance, the new emperor will succeed to the throne in the future, and the Pingnan palace can also be given more grace.
The crown prince is a son-in-law, and he occupies the throne of the East Palace, as long as he does not make a big mistake, it is logical to inherit the throne.
Compared with the Seven Princes, who were feared by the emperor, and the Four Princes, whose strength was repeatedly weakened, Princess Pingnan's crown prince was the best choice.
There is another reason that Princess Pingnan is a little ashamed to admit, that is, Wang Qiheng's appearance, talent, and official position are the best she has seen in the past 28 years, and marrying such a man will not disgrace her noble status as a princess.
"This palace can agree to the marriage, but this palace wants one thing as a dowry."
Wang Qiheng's tense shoulders loosened, and he grinned, "Your Highness said." ”
"This palace wants Xie's paper armor building technique as a dowry."
There is a lot of rain in the south, and there are often rebellions among various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang, and the Pingnan royal palace needs to quell the chaos from time to time. Although the iron armor is hard, it is too heavy and costly. Since he heard that the paper armor created by the Xie clan is not bad when exposed to water, and is even harder, King Pingnan has the heart to seize it.
Princess Pingnan's entry into Beijing this time was ostensibly for the wedding of Prince He and the fourth prince, but in fact, it was for Xie's paper armor building technique.
She actually wanted to add the recipes of other strange goods in Donghai Department Store, and she was afraid that Wang Qiheng would deliberately embarrass him, so she only said this.
"Don't worry, this palace will help you."
Wang Qiheng didn't agree, "Xie Shizi is not easy to deal with, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness will have to wait for some time." ”
Princess Pingnan smiled, full of wit. She crossed the tea case and approached Wang Qiheng.
"Qiheng, didn't your sister follow Xie Shizi?"
Wang Qiheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "My sister Jinniang fell into the water and died when she was swimming to the lake with His Royal Highness the Prince. The funeral has already been done, where did you come to tell Xie Shizi? ”
Princess Pingnan didn't speak, she just looked at Wang Qiheng with a smile, and her eyes seemed to say: You can't deceive the palace.
Wang Qiheng's hand hidden in the wide sleeve clenched into a fist slightly, but his face was still calm.
"His Royal Highness wants a dowry, Wang will do his best to get it. I'm afraid that the emperor is in a hurry to give His Royal Highness a marriage......"
"Bengong Xin Qiheng will not lie to Bengong. If the emperor gives marriage, the palace will respond first. ”
Wang Qiheng stood up and bowed to Princess Pingnan, "Thank you Your Highness for your compassion." ”
On this day, Wang Qiheng, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, and Princess Pingnan traveled together, enjoying flowers and picking lotuses, and it was not until night that Wang Qiheng personally escorted Princess Pingnan back to the palace.
Hearing this news, there is no one happier than the crown prince.
"I didn't expect Wang Qiheng to be so powerful, and he actually made an old girl like Princess Pingnan very excited. As long as Wang Qiheng marries Princess Pingnan, King Pingnan will become a person from Erchen's side. ”
The prince laughed.
The queen frowned, "Don't you think this is a little strange?" ”
"What's the blame?"
"The two of them are developing too fast~"
"Oh, Queen Mother." The prince rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Isn't it good to be fast?" Would you like to see Princess Pingnan married by the fourth child or her father's people? ”
As long as someone can help him marry the ugly girl of Princess Pingnan, he doesn't care how he succeeds!
"Wang Qiheng is a talent, his family background is good, and his official position is also high, if his son is Princess Pingnan, he will also hold on to it."
Only then did the queen dispel her doubts and nodded, "You're right. ”
After all, Princess Pingnan is mediocre in appearance, and she is still a twenty-eight-year-old girl, and it is a great luck to be favored by a young talent like Wang Qiheng......
When the fourth prince received the news, he was so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles, and he immediately ordered someone to call Mr. Youya and Pei Youan into the palace.
"Sir, didn't you say that there was a way to bring Princess Pingnan under your command? Now that Princess Pingnan is swimming with Wang Qiheng, what is your plan? The four princes kept wandering with their hands behind their backs.
Mr. Ariya closed his eyes, feeling distressed.
He didn't expect Wang Qiheng to move so fast!
Originally, his arrangement was for the eldest son of his third son to hook up with Princess Pingnan. But if something happened to the third son, the matter would not be done. He has found a new candidate, but that person is still in office for five hundred miles. Even if it is a starry night, it will take two or three days to enter Beijing.
"It's just a matter of traveling with your arms, and it's not that you have already made a marriage contract, so why should Your Highness be in a hurry? The marriage of the children of high-ranking families is not about feelings, but for profit. ”
In other words, as long as the benefits they give are greater, Princess Pingnan can change her course at any time.
The fourth prince sneered, "But we can't give benefits that can make King Pingnan's eyes light up!" ”
Mr. Youya also smiled, "It is said that King Pingnan has always coveted Xie's paper armor building technique. ”
Hey? The four princes and Pei You'an opened their eyes wide at the same time.
The fourth prince bent down excitedly, "Could it be that Mr. Fei has a way to get that paper armor building technique?" ”
No!
Mr. Youya secretly said in his heart, but now that the matter has come, he must find a way to appease the four princes, so as not to cause trouble for this ambitious and talented prince.
"Your Highness will wait and see."
The fourth prince said in a loud voice, "Then there is Mr. Lao in this matter." ”
When he left the palace gate, Pei Youan bowed down and gave Mr. Youya a look, "Sir, if you get that paper armor building technique, I don't know if you can give the kid a copy?" My father is in the southwest, feeding an army of more than 100,000 people, and he often does not have enough money. It would be much easier if you could reduce the cost on armor. ”
Mr. Youya helped Pei Youan up and agreed, "That's nature." The Pei family and the Yu family are now on the same boat, so they naturally want to help each other. ”
The words changed, "General Pei, don't you be tempted about Princess Pingnan's marriage?" ”
Yes? Pei Youan looked up in shock, "Sir, doesn't you want the kid to tease Princess Na Pingnan?" Is the kid too young? ”
"What if you are young, you just need to be mentally mature. General Pei has a dignified appearance, and he has made military achievements in the southwest. Princess Pingnan is also a martial arts practitioner, so she should prefer General Pei to Wang Qiheng. ”
Pei Youan was still a little hesitant.
"To tell General Pei the truth, the person chosen by the old man is far inferior to General Pei, let alone Wang Qiheng. If we let that person go, we can just admit defeat. If it is replaced by General Pei, coupled with the paper armor building technique, it may be able to give it a go. How about General Pei, is he willing to contribute to the four princes? ”
Pei Youan gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay." Kid just give it a try. ”
"It's worthy of the Pei family, bold enough!"
Mr. Youya patted Pei You'an on the shoulder appreciatively, "Let's go, let's find a teahouse and have a chat." ”
He didn't just try to stall for time. Wang Qiheng is among the civil officials, and the younger generation is already the top, and if you want to win, you can only find someone completely different from Wang Qiheng......
