164 Only those who do not have enough to eat cannot afford to raise a concubine.
But remembering what Tang Meng said about Su Yue and Su Muxue, he moved his mind again.
"The king of war wants my daughter, and he wants me to marry together, and it is not impossible"
Su Muxue was overjoyed when she saw that he intended to marry again, but Su Yue would not stand idly by.
"Father." Su Yue got rid of Su Muxue, she was finally relieved, but seeing that Su Sheng wanted to pull the red line again, she was a little panicked, "My daughter still wants to accompany her father for two more years, why did my daughter just come back, and my father is so anxious to marry his daughter?" β
"Where's that? You are my heart, but I just see that this war king is a good person, and I want to book Yue'er first. β
"Since you are a beloved, what if you wait a little longer?" Su Yue looked at Su Muxue obliquely, unconcealing the mockery in her eyes, "Could it be that the war king is impatient?" β
Su Muxue almost couldn't hold back, he was going to set Su Yue today.
He knelt down heavily: "The minister has admired Princess Su Yue for a long time, please let the emperor fulfill it." β
"The prince is so shameless!" Su Yue was completely furious, she had never seen such a brazen person, "Please ask your father to call the shots for your son, your son has already rejected the prince no less than ten times, but the prince forcibly asks for it, without caring about the face of the son." β
"The king of war has shown his love many times, and the sons remember that the marriage contract should be the words of the matchmaker of their parents, even if the sons and daughters are interested in the king, they should also negotiate with their fathers. But King Zhan didn't care about the reputation of the girl's family at all, and even forced his father to marry on reunion occasions such as the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. β
"This move clearly forced my father into a desperate situation, and he had to use marriage to calm things in order to take care of the face of the ministers and the royal family, and the ministers could not sit idly by."
Su Yue raised her teary eyes and looked at Su Sheng: "Father, you are reluctant to have a son, right?" β
Su Yue's words made it clear that Su Muxue was pushed to the forefront.
If Su Sheng compromised and agreed to the marriage, he would be afraid of Su Muxue. Su Muxue holds the armies of the two realms in the northwest, and has made many achievements, and now she is in the limelight, even surpassing Su Sheng, who is young and brave and good at fighting.
Emperor Zigu was most afraid that the person with high merit would be arrogant, Su Muxue dared to force him to marry in court, and Su Sheng was angry for a while. He is public or private, and it is impossible for him to agree to Su Muxue.
"What Yue'er said is reasonable, I finally found Yue'er, and I want to stay for a few more years." Su Sheng declined politely, "Tang Ying is well-behaved and sensible, and her status is noble, and she is also a good match for your war king, is it possible that my two daughters are worried about the war king?" β
Su Muxue was unwilling, raised her firm eyes, and looked directly at Su Sheng: "Your Majesty, the minister's sincerity to the princess can be seen by the sun and the moon, please also ask the emperor"
"Mu Xue."
This time it was the halberd king Su Xun who interrupted him, and Su Muxue turned back suddenly, her eyes full of disappointment. He clearly knew that this time, between him and Su Yue, even the erroneous marriage contract was gone.
"Since the sun and the moon can be seen, why wait?" Su Xungui persuaded.
He seemed to know that Su Yue didn't like him, but was extremely disgusted with him. If Su Muxue continues to be persistent, I am afraid that it will make everyone unhappy, and Su Sheng may think that he has ulterior motives.
Su Muxue was unwilling, her hands trembled slightly, obviously forbearance to the limit.
A voice: "Since the emperor doesn't want the beauty of adults, then don't give this marriage!" The minister retired. He could no longer be at peace, and like an enraged beast, he abruptly got up and left.
Su Sheng's face sank instantly, and Su Xun's eyes were also full of worry, he didn't know how Su Muxue, whom he was so proud of, became what he was like now? He has always been calm, and he will not mess up because of a woman.
Seeing that he was angry, Su Yue got up with a cold smile, and left with the star pupil as an excuse as soon as she was unwell.
On the way back, it was scolding, Xingtong's former master was degraded by her as worthless, and Xingtong also felt that today's Su Muxue was indeed very different from the humble gentleman of the past.
"Princess, don't you still have an uncle...... No, don't you? β
Before leaving, he instructed Su Ying to take care of Tang Ying. Su Ying was not happy, but after thinking about it, she happily agreed.
As soon as Su Muxue and Su Yue left, the scene began to exchange ears, Su Sheng's face was not good-looking, and he threw his sleeves away angrily.
Concubine Chen and the queen glanced at each other, and looked thoughtfully at the daughters present, and the queen spoke: "The beauty palace of this palace has not seen the girls for a long time, and they are full of wine and food, why don't you move to the beauty palace and chat with the palace?" β
The queen invited, and everyone was naturally willing, and Yingying Yanyan moved to the Beauty Palace.
Su Ying glanced at Tang Ying and raised a sweet smile: "Sister Tang Ying, I'll take you away." β
Tang Ying was unwary of kindness, so she followed Su Ying behind the daughters.
"Sister Tang Ying, what books did you like to read when you were in Mobei?" Su Ying asked casually, completely ignoring her embarrassment, "Your mother is the cousin of this princess, presumably Sister Tang Ying must have inherited her cousin's talent, right?" β
Tang Ying was a little embarrassed when she heard this, she did not inherit any of Wu Xin's character, but inherited Tang Meng's carelessness and carelessness.
Su Ying has always been active, and this time she specially lost her breath, no matter how fast she walked, the steps on her head would never shake significantly.
Tang Ying couldn't see it, she only felt that she was dignified, but she didn't lose her demeanor. It was the nobility engraved in her bones, and she couldn't learn it.
"I've never read." Tang Ying said in a low voice, Tang Meng invited her master, but she was stupid and couldn't learn.
"Why? The Four Books and Five Classics are a must-have for women in the boudoir, why hasn't Sister Tang Ying read them? Is Sister Tang Ying literate? Can you write your own name? β
Su Ying blinked her eyes wide, looking innocent. Tang Ying felt that she was probably too naΓ―ve, so she couldn't hold back. But Su Ying's several questions made Tang Ying embarrassed.
Although you are in front, your ears are smart. As soon as I heard it, I knew that this Su Ying had an opinion on Tang Ying, and tried every means to embarrass her.
All of them have bad water in their stomachs.
Tang Meng burned the Beauty Palace, and now the Beauty Palace is rebuilt, and seeing Tang Ying, the queen is full of anger.
She didn't even care who Tang Meng was angry for, Tang Meng couldn't move, and Su Yue couldn't move, so she had to beat Tang Ying who was sent to the door.
Before everyone took their seats, the queen waved her hand, signaling that everyone did not need to be restrained.
Meaning, she can turn a blind eye to whoever she wants to target.
Receiving the queen's signal, everyone's cruel eyes turned to Tang Ying, ready to move.
Su Yue is not here, Gu Caiwei is not here, Su Ying obviously doesn't like her, so this Tang Ying is a lamb to be slaughtered.
As soon as she arrived at the Beauty Palace, Su Ying suddenly rummaged up and down, and then exclaimed, with a look of impatience: "Oops! Sister Tang Ying, Ying'er's bracelet is lost! β
"Huh?" Tang Ying was at a loss, and hurriedly asked, "What bracelet?" I'll help you find it. β
"It's okay, it's okay, Sister Tang Ying, you wait for me here, I'll go back when I go." Su Ying raised a harmless smile and signaled Tang Ying to feel at ease.
Leaving Tang Ying behind, Su Ying slipped away without looking back, she didn't want to protect Tang Ying, she didn't teach her a lesson herself, she already gave Su Yue a lot of face. She just wanted to leave Tang Ying here and accept the hostility from all sides.
When everyone saw Tang Ying alone, it was as if they had seen prey, and their eyes lit up.
As soon as Su Ying left, Tang Ying showed her timidity, and subconsciously looked at Sansan behind her.
Why should I watch her? She's just a subordinate, how can she help me? Tang Ying thought so, so she resigned herself to her fate and found a place to sit down.
Su Yue sent someone to protect her, and she didn't know how to send a powerful one, which shows that she didn't care about her at all. Just a child Yumeng dared to step on her head, what is the use of such a maid?
If she didn't want to offend her, she would definitely return Sansan and save her annoyance.
As soon as she sat down, the voice of the spirit came: "Why is Miss Tang Ying so restrained?" We're going to eat you can't make it? β
"Miss Tang won't still be angry about chopping wood, right?" Tong Yumeng asked innocently, "I just spoke straighter, you won't mind, right?" I didn't mean to. β
"I don't mind." Tang Ying said in a low voice, still in her heart.
"Oh, Miss Tang Ying, don't be restrained~" Someone came up to set up, Tang Ying smiled perfunctorily and didn't speak.
Seeing that she didn't reply, everyone pulled the topic to Su Yue, who was not present.
"You said that Duke Su Yue has been living among the people for decades, and when he returned to the imperial capital, he still can't find anything wrong with his words and deeds, and sure enough, etiquette is engraved in his bones." Tong Yumeng opened his mouth first.
"How can that compare? One is the noble royal blood in his bones, and the other ~" Ruan Yingying pointed and glanced at Tang Ying.
Seeing that Tang Ying's face turned three points pale, she seemed to have said the wrong thing, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "I'm sorry Miss Tang, I didn't mean that, don't take it to heart." β
"No...... No. Tang Ying said in a low voice, she felt that these girls were all smiling, but the words they said always made people feel embarrassed.
Seeing that Tang Ying was a soft persimmon, everyone became even more energetic.
"But Miss Tang Ying, are you in this shirt? Why did you wear it wrong? Tong Yumeng had already discovered that her shawl was nondescript, and when she said this, Tang Ying was in a hurry for a while.
Seeing this, Sansan raised his hand and put her shawl back in place.
Tang Ying clenched her teeth, feeling that she had been humiliated, and she had some resentment towards Sansan in her heart.
She now knows how to tidy up? Why didn't you say it in the first place? Embarrassed her in public?
"Tang Ying is new to here, please be merciful." When Tang Ying ran into walls everywhere, the voice that spoke for her seemed so kind.
Baili Sangsang and Tong Xiangjin surrounded him, and hugged Tang Ying to the main seat one left and one right: "Look at Miss Tang, is it simple and easy to bully?" Don't forget, Tang Ying is the future war princess. β
Baili Sangsang and Tong Xiangjin each said a word, and they all pressed down the soft knives of the daughters of the family.
Although Tong Yumeng didn't understand why her sister would help her speak, her sister must have her own thoughts.
"The princess of war is really a blessing, a princess of Su Yue, a princess of war." Zuo Xiangfu Yunshang answered, "The king of war is the dream lover of the nobles of Zifeng~ He actually abducted Miss Tang." β
Ruan Yingying then echoed: "Yes, please Miss Tang in the future, more contacts, we can also touch your blessings." β
Seeing that the style of painting changed, Tang Ying was finally relieved and put on a smiling face.
It's all inappropriate flattery, but Tang Ying feels much more comfortable listening to it.
The queen echoed without a ride, and after thinking about it, she found an excuse to leave for a while. If she is not there, those who have crooked thoughts will start to emerge.
As soon as the queen left, everyone's topic suddenly opened up a lot, and after a while, they talked about the secrets of the boudoir from poetry and songs.
"I heard that that person is sick." Someone lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "You must remember that little boy can't get married." β
I thought it was just a prodigal son of someone's family, but I never thought that the 'little son' in her mouth was actually Baili Sangsang's brother, Baili Zhongyuan.
"Oh? What kind of disease? Someone saw that Baili Sangsang was unmoved, so he had the courage to start inquiring.
"What else could it be? Dirty disease~"
"Huh~"
There were boos at the scene, they didn't know that it was the girl's gossip that made Zhao Xinrui, who was originally indifferent, listen to it, her eyes moved slightly, and she didn't say anything.
Tong Yumeng also glanced at Baili Sangsang, what she said now was acquiesced by the two of them: "If you are infected with this disease, don't say that you are going out to be romantic, I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed, but it is a pity that those girls were treated by such a beast." β
"Yes! Therefore, when sisters choose husbands, they must keep their eyes open. Some people, with dignified faces and behind their backs, don't know what kind of thing it is. β
"That's what I see."
After talking about Tang Ying, she was not restrained, she thought for a while, and then asked: "In the palace, don't men have to follow a lifetime and a couple?" How can there be such swingers? β
"A couple for a lifetime? It's a big joke. Someone laughed and teased, "Don't talk about the high-ranking and powerful, even the ordinary people, they don't have this statement." β
"I'm afraid that only if you don't have enough to eat, you can't afford to raise a concubine."
"Hehehehehehe......"
Tang Ying thought of Su Muxue when she heard this, if he also had three wives and four concubines, would he have won those wives and concubines? The daughters of the imperial capital can all speak well, and Tang Ying is worried that she will be completely manipulated.
"Besides, what the King of War means, it must be Princess Su Yue~ If Miss Tang Ying and Princess Su Yue serve together, there will definitely be no backyard disputes."
"Being able to serve a husband with the princess, Miss Tang and the princess are blessed people."
Tang Ying's eyes sank again, remembering that Su Muxue ignored the holy anger and openly expressed that he wanted to marry Su Yue, afraid that if he didn't get Su Yue, he would not give up.
If she really served a husband with Su Yue, where would she fight for her? At this point, a terrible thought broke into my mind.
Su Yue kept Sansan by her side, would it be just to supervise her? Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent to win all battles?
Baili Sangsang observed her words, and the slightest change in Tang Ying fell in her eyes, which was exactly the result she wanted.
