Chapter 37: The Fate of the Princess
Kunning Palace.
The atmosphere was oppressive.
The palace maids and eunuchs all bowed their heads and were cautious.
For fear of making some noise, or misbehaving, you will be beaten to the board.
The queen sat on the phoenix chair, scanning the princess below, her eyes gloomy.
Emperor Qingyuan had a total of seven sons and five daughters, five princesses, the eldest princess Zheng Yiyu is fifteen years old this year, no, it is already the New Year, and the eldest princess is sixteen years old.
This is wishing the queen a daughter.
She is also the daughter of Emperor Qingyuan, and she is the eldest daughter.
The second princess Zheng Yilu is only eleven years old this year, the third princess is nine years old, and the fourth princess and the fifth princess are six years old.
Now, the Great Jin Dynasty intends to negotiate peace with Mongolia in order to relieve the military disaster. The cunning Mongolian royal family, don't go to the royal family, canonize a princess casually, and then marry into Mongolia.
The Mongol princes wanted a real princess, the daughter of the Emperor Taishang, or the daughter of the emperor.
The eldest princess, Princess Kang Ming, is the only princess with a title, but she is the emperor's sister. He is not young, but his body is weak.
Back then, he blocked the sword for the emperor again, almost died, and fell ill. The emperor would not marry his sister, who had almost died for him, into the grassland.
The eldest princess is also getting older, and Mongolia may not be willing.
And now the marriageable princess has not yet married, only the eldest princess Zheng Yiyu.
This is her eldest daughter, who wants to marry the rough man of the grassland? Arbitrary abuse?
The queen mother is in a very bad mood, and the eldest princess has been crying every day and night these days, and her eyes have been red and swollen.
What if she is a queen?
Motherhood in the world, the most noble woman in the world, what can she do?
She couldn't stop Princess Celestia from marrying into the grassland, her most beloved daughter was her heart, her first child, she loved her very much.
Marrying into the grassland, that is humiliation!
And a dignity that exists?
The princess who married into the grassland, not to mention dignity when she arrived in the grassland, at least a normal life is a luxury.
Since ancient times, how many princesses of various dynasties who married into the grassland with their relatives have a good end?
No!
The princess of Dajin is extremely noble in Dajin, and the barbarians in the grassland may not be able to afford it.
I wish the queen's heart is like a knife.
If she could, how she didn't want her daughter to marry into the bitter cold land and become the wife of a Mongol prince, and after the death of the Mongol prince, his son would inherit the concubine of the Mongol prince!
"Why are you listless during the New Year?"
Zhu Empress finally broke the oppressive atmosphere, forced the discomfort in her heart, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Come on, come on, eat some of the pastries made by the queen mother herself." ”
Looking at the eldest princess again, Queen Zhu beckoned: "Yu'er, come here, the queen mother will talk to you." ”
Not surprisingly, outside the Hanyuan Palace, the Mongolian mission should also participate in today's court meeting at this time, and the emperor will give a banquet. Not surprisingly, today's eldest princess will have a title, and she will set the name of marrying the grassland.
As a mother, she has few opportunities to talk to her daughter. Once the eldest princess gets married, there will be no day to see each other in this life!
"Queen Mother!"
The eldest princess knelt in front of the queen, like a cuckoo crying blood, and her voice was hoarse: "I don't want to marry into the grassland!" ”
From ancient times to the present, which princess who married into the grassland was not a tragic fate?
That's hell!
Queen Zhu almost burst into tears, what can she do?
Now the only way is to cancel the peace talks, cancel the peace talks!
But is this possible?
Not to mention that the harem does not interfere in politics, the emperor sitting on the Hanyuan Palace, there is the Emperor Taishang, and he is not involuntarily?
The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, forcing the emperor to negotiate peace.
"Huh?"
Inexplicably, Empress Zhu thought of the third-class male Wu Fa, and murmured: "Wu Fa is now deep in the grassland, and there has been no news for nearly a month and a half, I don't know..."
Immediately, Queen Zhu shook her head, feeling that she was too worried about her daughter, reluctant to let her daughter, and a little whimsical?
This is no longer the case.
At that time, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were extremely prosperous, and thousands of cavalry could sweep the grassland.
Today's Dajin is lax in armament, and the soldiers have no will to fight, and they will have no will to fight.
The Mongols gathered 300,000 cavalry and watched the area of the Great Wall, heading south at any time to blackmail the Jin Dynasty.
Wu Fa, 10,000 cavalry, what can he do?
The soldiers and horses of the Great Jin Dynasty were not as good as the Mongolian cavalry, and it was still difficult to determine whether Wu Fa could come back alive.
If... She is saying that if others think that Wu Fa has sabotaged the peace talks and pro-policy of peace talks, what if Wu Fa really disrupts the rear and withdraws troops from the grassland?
Celestial princess, don't you have to go to that hellish place?
"..."
At this time, a female official walked in: "All families have entered the palace." ”
"You go and make arrangements, according to the past practice, invite a few people to enter Kunning Palace to pay a visit, and give them a banquet to leave."
I wish the queen that she is really not in the mood to entertain the court and the central government, but she has to go through the form, just perfunctory: "This year, no one has made a fool of it." ”
In previous years, there would always be a new edict who entered the palace for the first time to meet him, and there were a lot of jokes. has become a lonely harem joke, and now Kunning Palace is very depressed, and needs some jokes to adjust the atmosphere.
It's not a good thing to have such a depressing atmosphere during the Chinese New Year.
"Hui Niangniang, this year there is only one new lady, the third-class baron Wu Mansion lady. They don't make jokes, but..."
In order to enliven the atmosphere, the female officer also said with a smile: "Baron Wu is a reckless man, he is used to being domineering, and he has offended many people. Others don't dare to compete with Baron Wu head-on, this doesn't leave a disaster for the female relatives in the family? Today, a few old ladies are pressuring the Baroness to kowtow to her mother..."
The female official told the story as it was, and suddenly found that the queen's face was gloomy and almost dripping.
So... The female officer's heart jumped. The queen mother, so towards the Baron's Palace?
No!
The queen thought of herself, of her daughter.
How similar is the current situation of the Baron's Mansion to the current Great Jin Dynasty?
One is the pressure of the super order, so that the old lady and the lady of the baron's palace kneel down and kowtow. One is that the 300,000 Mongolian army coerced the Great Jin and the peace talks, what is the difference between this and letting the Great Jin kneel?
Pressure?
I wish the queen a worse mood, and she is inexplicably disgusted with these old ladies: "Those who bully others will be bullied." This is true from man to man, and it is also true from nation to nation. ”
During the period of Wuzong of the Great Jin Dynasty, the national strength was strong, and the grassland was far away.
Now that the situation is reversed, the Great Jin Dynasty pressed Mongolia back then, and now Mongolia is pressuring the Great Jin: "You go down." ”
"Imperial sister-in-law."
Princess Kang Ming sat under the queen's head and stroked the eldest princess's long hair: "Fate is about this, how many masters can you and I do?" ”
"Why?"
The eldest princess sobbed: "Why do you have to marry the princess to quell the war?" Can the war really be quelled? ”
Queen Zhu opened her mouth and was speechless.
Princess Kang Ming smiled dumbly: "For thousands of years, the policy of harmony has been a strategy between the Central Plains and the grassland. If you think about it carefully, after marrying the princess, did the Han and the Huns really settle the fighting? ”
"Nope."
The eldest princess sobbed: "Obviously you can't calm the fighting, you can't stop the war, why do you want to make peace?" ”
Why do you want her to feed demons with her body?
"Hey."
Princess Kang Ming smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Perhaps, Mongolia has its own reasons and can't go south." The Great Jin had their own concerns and was afraid that the Mongols would go south, so... Only then will there be peace talks, and only then will there be peace and affinity. If the fish are not dead, the two sides will have a reason to calm down. ”
"Hey."
Zhu Empress sighed: "Pass on the super quality of the order, the first product of the order, enter the palace to see you." ”
Not long after, a group of nearly 20 people came up with a good quality and brought the maid and maid into Kunning Palace: "Meet the queen mother." ”
Queen Zhu waved her hand, said a few words of encouragement, and let them go down.
In the past, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the queen would reward some things and chat for a while. At this moment, I am not in the mood at all.
One by one, the commanders sensed that something was wrong, and they got up and left. As soon as he got up, a little eunuch hurriedly entered Kunning Palace: "Queen Mother, it's not good, the third prince has a conflict with the Mongolian barbarians..."
"What?"
I wish the queen a change in her expression, the third prince is also the eldest son, and it is the queen who came out: "What's the matter?" In the Great Jin Palace, the Mongolian barbarians, dare to be so presumptuous? ”
