Chapter 792: Reparation
The emperor favors the queen, I thought he was to consolidate the country. So spoiling her won't last long. But I was wrong, I'm afraid no one will believe that the emperor's feelings can last for a long time, for more than ten years, and even they have a son, a natural and justifiable prince.
I was a little unconvinced at the time, but it wasn't just me. Since the queen entered the palace, the emperor has not turned over the brands of other concubines, so everyone is dissatisfied with the queen. But their dissatisfaction, not only did not win favor for themselves, but even more annoyed the emperor.
At this time, I found out that the emperor was not as ruthless as other emperors, he had a heart, and his heart was only given to the queen. Although I am sad that the person he loves is not me, but seeing the queen's gentleness and virtue, I naturally dare not expect extravagance. When you think that you are not in love with a heartless man, but a real person, you don't care so much."
The concubine said here and smiled, it seemed that she really didn't care anymore.
"Concubine. You're really strong, you can think about it, if a person doesn't even cherish themselves, who else will love you? It's just that you were born in the wrong place, and if you were born in modern times, there will be many people who like you."
Chu Xia said too quickly, and only after finishing speaking did he realize that he had leaked his mouth, and sure enough, when he saw the surprised look of the concubine, he quietly stuck out his tongue.
The concubine was just surprised for a moment, and smiled indifferently, "It's your hometown, right?" Chu Xia nodded, and told these ancients that she was afraid that she would not be able to accept them, and even if she could, her moral concept would not allow it.
"It doesn't matter, I've figured it out now. It's you, in this era, it's hard to find a man with affection and righteousness, and the emperor has a personality like his father. But there was one thing he was luckier than his father. That's when he met you in the first place, so he'll be consistent with you. This rare relationship, if you miss it, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life."
"I understand, thank you concubine, the emperor didn't love you because he was not blessed, I love you, you will treat me as a daughter in the future." Chu Xia's mouth was sweet, and the teasing concubine smiled with relief.
Put on your makeup, and ask Mama Liu to bring the phoenix crown and Xia Wei over and help her put it on together.
"Of course that's good, I'm afraid I'm not that blessed. During the time I lived in Taimiao, I had already thought about it, and after you and the emperor got married, I would continue to pray for blessings. It's a quiet place, and I'm happy."
"Huh? Baby, are you leaving? Don't go, okay? When you're gone, there's really no one in the harem to accompany me?" As soon as he heard that the concubine was leaving, Chu Xia's little face turned into a bitter mess, and he was reluctant to give up on the concubine. In fact, she is a very good person to get along with, as long as she sees the right eye, she will treat it sincerely. Now that he finally has a relationship with the concubine, and admires her character of daring to love and hate, he is naturally reluctant to leave.
"If you are lonely in the harem, just promise to let the emperor take a few more concubines to accompany you." The concubine deliberately teased her.
"Forget it then." She would rather be alone than share a husband with those women.
The concubine couldn't help laughing, and even Mama Liu in the back couldn't help laughing, she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and her old face was flushed.
"Just laugh, call me stingy or jealous, I won't let another woman rob my man anyway." Chu Xia said it with confidence, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"Okay, where do we dare to make fun of you, you are the most noble queen mother of our Donghua Kingdom." At this time, the concubine who was laughing at her, and when Chu Xia saw her for the first time, they were like two people. Maybe it's because they're close to each other, so they talk casually.
Mama Liu felt that her mother was good-tempered, and she also had the courage to laugh: "Niangniang is so blessed, she can be so favored by the emperor, I don't know how many women have died of envy!"
A few people talked and laughed, and quickly dressed up. Chu Xia only felt that his head was heavy, his feet were also heavy, and he didn't know how many things he was carrying. And the skirt is long, so it is inconvenient to walk.
looked at the concubine with a bitter face, "Concubine Niangniang, do I have to dress like a big horse monkey?"
The concubine glared at her with disgust, "What a big horse monkey, she will be the queen of a country soon, and she is not afraid of other people's jokes."
Mama Liu said with a smile on the side, "Niangniang, don't be in a hurry to complain, look in the mirror first
Look at it, you don't know how beautiful you look now? The old slave has never seen anyone more beautiful than you, and not only is he pretty, but he is different from others anyway." Mama Liu didn't know what words to use to describe it, but she felt that this lady was different.
"It's temperament, with the noble atmosphere of a queen." The concubine replied for Mama Liu, looking at Chu Xia with a straight face, the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more pleasant it became. She thought that she was a first-class beauty in Donghua Country before, but after seeing Chu Xia, she still felt a lot inferior. Because Chu Xia's beauty comes from the bottom of my heart, it shocks people's hearts.
Looking at their amazing eyes, Chu Xia didn't think so, it must have been them who coaxed her to be happy again. But when she turned back and saw herself in the mirror, she was stunned, and then exclaimed: "Oh my God, who is that beautiful and miserable woman inside, the country is beautiful and fragrant, sinking fish and geese, like a fairy descending to earth?"
Hearing her shout, the two of them, who were originally stunned, couldn't help but laugh.
The concubine didn't know what to say, but her eyebrows and eyes were crooked when she smiled, and the corners of her mouth couldn't close. Mama Liu laughed even more because her stomach hurt, and it took a long time to catch her breath, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, do you boast about yourself so much?" This queen mother is really cute and kind-hearted. When the emperor was angry just now, they were all worried about their heads, but they didn't expect the queen to intercede for them, and the emperor's anger was dispelled with one sentence. Such a kind and unscrupulous mother, they have never met it. Let them serve such masters, and they are a hundred willing. No wonder the emperor likes her, those women said that Niangniang was a goblin, and they must have been jealous of Niangniang, so they deliberately slandered her.
Chu Xia was stunned again, looking at the person in the mirror with big eyes, the person's eyes also widened, she squeezed her eyebrows, and the person also squeezed her eyebrows, only then did she believe that the person in the mirror was really herself.
I couldn't help but admire, "Concubine Niangniang, you are so amazing, you actually painted me so beautifully."
After hearing this, the two couldn't help laughing, and after hearing this, they couldn't help but laugh and said, "Silly girl, if you are not beautiful, can I paint you beautiful?"
"Yes, Niangniang, it's because Niangniang you are beautiful, but you didn't care about it before, and you didn't dress up properly, so you didn't find out." Mama Liu also praised.
"Is that so?" Chu Xia was a little unconfident, and looked carefully in the mirror again. She didn't like makeup before, and her personality was very casual. Although she entered the palace and dressed up as Li Ji that time, she only tried to dress up towards her appearance, and Li Ji's appearance was more charming than her. But the dress that the concubine gave her this time was completely different from last time, she used a special technique to promote her strengths and avoid weaknesses, and completely beautified her.
This is her Chu Xia style, not on behalf of others. The person in the mirror is indeed herself, her nose, her eyes, her lips. But it's not like her, because she makes her facial features more three-dimensional, more profound, and more prominent, and truly shows her beauty. It doesn't matter if she looks good, or if the concubine's craftsmanship is high, anyway, it is undeniable that she is really beautiful today.
She had already begun to imagine what Jing Yuan would be like when she saw her at this moment?
"The emperor will definitely lose his soul when he sees Niangniang so beautiful." Mama Liu was sincerely amazed.
The concubine also agreed, "I'm afraid I don't have to get married, just pull into the cave room, and avoid such a beautiful bride being coveted by others."
Chu Xia was teased by them, and his rare little face turned red. Some shy, some sweet.
On the emperor's side, he is very busy, because he has two identities today, that is, the groom and the emperor. It's not just a wife who marries, it's ***.
The reception of envoys from various countries was handed over to Prime Minister Lu Zixiu, and it was Xiao Yulang, the general of Zhenguo, who handled all matters. And the prospective groom Jing Yuan is hiding in the imperial study to deal with state affairs. Beichuan has sent an envoy to exchange ten cities for the prince's return to the dynasty, which can be regarded as reparation.
Jing Yuan looked at the letter written by the Beichuan Emperor brought by the envoy, Wuzhi's face was still as cold as frost, only Yun Fei, who was standing behind him, could see and understand, and his deep eyes flashed with a look of victory.
The envoy of Beichuan is the prime minister of Beichuan, and he is also a pivotal figure, because this matter is very important, so the Beichuan Emperor did not dare to be careless, so he sent the prime minister in person.
Prime Minister Beichuan looked at Emperor Donghua
After the letter, he didn't say a word, couldn't guess what he was thinking, and gradually raised his head boldly, and said respectfully: "Emperor Donghua, I don't know what you think after reading the letter from His Majesty of our country? I already have the documents of the ten cities with me, if the Donghua Emperor has no opinion, I will sign it, right? It is better to let our prince return to China as soon as possible."
After the prime minister finished speaking, he looked at Jing Yuan in a daze, but saw that his face was still cold. He threw the letter and the contract on the table together, and shouted with a fierce face, "What does Emperor Beichuan mean? Are ten cities going to buy the prince's life? Do you think your prince is worth ten cities? Or do you think I'm too thick-skinned? Dignity is not worth much?"
For a man, his wife went out of the wall with someone Hongxing, which is a great shame. If he can still swallow his anger, then it is not a man, it is a living turtle. What's more, this man is still an emperor, and he can't bear such a shame.
When Prime Minister Beichuan heard Jing Yuan's angry words, his frightened body trembled. , hurriedly lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is angry, my emperor didn't mean that. This matter is indeed wrong for me to go to the crown prince, but please also ask Your Majesty to see that the prince is drunk and immoral, not sincere. And there is a misunderstanding here, Your Majesty, you are so wise, you can't not know it, right?
