Chapter 383: There Will Be No Children
In Xingde Palace, Zhao Yao looked at the list in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Tongxi stood aside, and when he saw Zhao Yao staring at the list for a long time without speaking, he felt strange in his heart, and hesitated and asked, "Your Highness, is there anything wrong with this list, why don't you say a word for a long time?" ”
Zhao Yao stretched out his hand to support his forehead, sighed slightly and said, "Alas, I didn't expect that there would be so many women in two years. ”
"Your Highness, there are so many ministers in the court, and there must be many daughters in them, what's so strange about this."
Zhao Yao's fingers tapped lightly on the list, frowned and said, "Which one is it?" "There are many families on the list who are eligible, but he doesn't know which one is his future father-in-law's family." Tongxi, which one do you think? ”
Tongxi glanced at the list, and then quickly shook his head: "The slave doesn't know." ”
"Which one do you think my father will choose for me?"
Tongxi thought about it seriously and said, "The slave thinks it's He Xiang's family." ”
On this list, the first one is He Xiangjia.
"Why do you think it's the Prime Minister?" Zhao Yao was shocked by Tongxi's answer, and his face was full of incredulity.
Tongxi thought very simply, and said as a matter of course: "What a great thing." ”
Zhao Yao pointed at himself, "Do you think Your Highness is worthy?" ”
"Your Highness, why are you not worthy, you are the prince, it won't be long before you will be the prince, you are a daughter, and the girl of the He Xiang's family is not worthy of you." Tongxi didn't like to hear Zhao Yao say this about himself, "Besides, Your Highness, you are so powerful, in the hearts of slaves and maids, no girl in the world is worthy of you." ”
"What is the identity of He Xiang, how can my father let his girl marry me?" Zhao Yao didn't really feel that he was not worthy of the girl of He Xiang's family, but thought that He Xiang's identity was too special, after all, He Xiang was the emperor's confidant minister. Moreover, the emperor did not agree to marry the girl of He Xiang's family. In everyone's hearts, it was tacit that the emperor would not let the princes marry He Xiang or Liu Taishi, or the daughters of the four generals. "Besides, I have always been an unfavored prince, with no power, no power and no money, what qualifications do I have to marry the girl of the prime minister's family?"
"Your Royal Highness, the emperor loves you, maybe he will really marry the girl of the He Xiang family to you."
"No, my father will not marry the girl of the He Xiang family to me." Zhao Yao said very firmly, "If my father marries the daughter of the He Xiang family to me, it will be tantamount to roasting me on the fire." ”
"Your Highness, you have gone to Lingnan, even if you give you the girl of the He Xiang family, there is nothing." Although Tongxi felt that all the girls in the world were not worthy of His Royal Highness, in this list, only the girls of He Xiang's family were barely worthy of His Royal Highness.
"It is impossible for He Xiang and Taishi Liu's family."
Tongxi listened to what Zhao Yao said so surely, and didn't say anything more.
"I originally thought that my father would marry the girl of the Li family to me, but I didn't expect that there was no girl from the Li family on this list." The girl of the Li family is one year younger than Zhao Yao, and she died last month.
"Yes, the girl of the Li family is also very good, why didn't the emperor give you the girl of the Li family to marry?" Tongxi asked with a puzzled face, "Besides, you have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and the emperor gave you the Li family girl to marry, which is justified, and the ministers will not say anything, let alone be suspicious of you." ”
"Yes, but my father didn't, it's strange." Zhao Yao thought to himself that his future princess was a girl from the Li family, so he could ask the Li family for help openly, for example, get more books from the Li family, and then get some teaching gentlemen from the Li family to go to Lingnan. Unexpectedly, his father did not give him the girl of the Li family to marry, so these calculations in his heart fell through.
"Your Highness, then again, except for He Xiang and Mrs. Liu, the other families are very ordinary, and they are not worthy of you at all." Most of the families on the list are four or five or five or six, and none of them are important positions.
"That's good." Zhao Yao was very satisfied with these "low" officials, "If my father really chooses one of these people to be my future Yue family, then it will really be good for me." ”
"But the slave feels that she has wronged you too much."
"What's wrong with this?" Zhao Yao smiled, "I think it's good." ”
"Your Highness, this is your princess, can't you take it to heart?" Tong Xi saw that Zhao Yao didn't care about the origin of his future princess, and he was speechless.
Zhao Yao put away the list and said to Tongxi: "For Your Royal Highness, it doesn't matter to me the background of the future princess, as long as you have a good temperament." ”
"Then what if the future princess has a bad temperament?"
"Then change it." Zhao Yao stood up, raised his hand and patted Tongxi's shoulder, "Your Royal Highness, I went to Lingnan, and there are a bunch of things waiting to be done, and I don't have time or energy to waste on my daughter's relationship." ”
"Your Highness, you haven't enlightened, right?" When other highnesses were eleven or twelve years old, they had a room girl, but his highness was good, not to mention the room girl, even the palace maid who served him closely.
"It's not that I haven't enlightened Your Highness, but I'm not here."
"When you get married, you will know that the woman is good, and you will definitely like it when the time comes."
Zhao Yao raised his foot and kicked Tongxi's buttocks, and scolded angrily: "Fuck off, Your Highness, I am not a lustful person." ”
"If you say that now, if your future princess is very beautiful, you won't say that then." In Tongxi's view, men are lustful and don't like beautiful girls.
"Speaking of pretty, do you think starlings are pretty?"
Tongxi nodded without hesitation: "Beautiful." ”
"Then do you think there will be anyone in this world who is better looking than Starling?"
"This ......," Tongxi thought for a moment and said, "The slave maid thinks that it is unlikely that anyone is better looking than His Royal Highness King Wei." ”
"I face the starling's alluring face every day, do you think I will be tempted by a good-looking woman without a starling in the future?"
"That's right." As soon as Tong Xi finished speaking, he suddenly thought that His Royal Highness King Wei had only one princess, no side concubines, and no room girls, and he had a strange look on his face. "Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Wei will not be because he is good-looking, so he is only a woman with Princess Wei."
When Zhao Yao heard this, he also thought that there was indeed only one mistress in King Wei's mansion, Princess Wei, and also thought that King Wei had always been cold to Princess Wei, and so far King Wei and Princess Wei had no children.
"What are you thinking?" Zhao Yao raised his hand and slapped the back of Tongxi's head, and said angrily, "Starling is focused on his career, how can he have leisure and children." ”
"Yes."
"Hurry up and serve your Highness, I will wash and change clothes."
"Yes, Your Highness."
At this time, in the palace of King Wei, King Wei was dealing with important matters in the study.
Knock Knock Knock Knock...... There was a knock on the door, followed by the gentle voice of the Wei Palace.
"Your Highness, it's me."
King Wei's eyebrows furrowed, and then he said indifferently, "Come in." ”
Princess Wei walked in with a food box, "Your Highness, this is the supper I asked the kitchen to make for you." ”
King Wei didn't raise his head and said, "You put it first, I'll eat it later." ”
Princess Wei looked at King Wei and wanted to say something, but because she was shy, she didn't speak.
Seeing that Princess Wei hadn't left yet, King Wei finally raised his head from the book and looked at her.
"Are you okay?"
Princess Wei blushed slightly, and a touch of shyness appeared in her eyes. She bit her lip and said, "Your Highness, it's not too early, you ......"
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by King Wei: "I'm still busy, you go back and rest first." ”
When Princess Wei heard this, a touch of gloom crossed her eyes, "Your Highness, then don't be too late, I'll go back to the room first." ”
King Wei nodded his head, and then said to Yu Hai, who was guarding the door, "Send the princess back to the room." ”
"Yes, Your Highness."
Princess Wei walked to the door, stopped, and looked back at King Wei. When she saw King Wei lowering his head to read the book again, she didn't look at her much, and a touch of sourness passed through her heart.
"Princess, slave maid to you."
"I'm sorry for Grandpa Yu."
"The princess is polite."
After a while, Yu Hai returned to his study.
"Your Highness, the princess asked the slave to remind you not to be too busy at night, so that you must take care of yourself."
King Wei did not speak.
Yu Hai saw the food box on the desk and reminded King Wei: "Your Highness, if you don't eat the supper sent by the princess, it will be cold." ”
"Take it and throw it away."
"Your Royal Highness, the princess is sincere to you, you ......" Yu Hai felt that King Wei was too cold to Princess Wei, "You haven't been to the princess's courtyard for a long time, and you haven't eaten with the princess for a long time......" Before the words fell, he received a cold look from King Wei, which frightened him and quickly closed his mouth, not daring to say anything more.
"The slave will go and throw away the supper sent by the princess."
On the other side, Princess Wei returned to her house.
The maid beside her saw her sad and lonely look, and hurriedly comforted her: "Princess, the prince is just too busy, don't think about it." ”
"Yes, the prince is too busy." Princess Wei was tempted to believe this reason, but she was having a hard time convincing herself now.
"Princess, you also know that the prince is a person with a cold personality, and he is cold to everyone, don't take it to heart." The maid continued to comfort Princess Wei, "Princess, the prince is the only woman with you, and he also leaves all the things in the house to you, which shows that the prince likes you." ”
"Does he really like me?" Princess Wei also thought so at first, but in the past few years of marriage, she slowly found that King Wei has always been cold to her.
"Princess, the prince is cold, don't think about it."
"The prince is not cold to His Royal Highness the Ten." Princess Wei has been married to King Wei for several years, and she has never seen King Wei smile, but once she saw King Wei very happy in front of His Royal Highness Ten.
"Princess, His Royal Highness Ten is the younger brother of the prince."
Princess Wei really wanted to say that she was the wife of King Wei, and she was more important than the younger brother of His Royal Highness Ten.
"Princess, it's not too early, you can rest quickly."
Princess Wei nodded her head. After a while, she rested under the service of the maid. She didn't fall asleep, though. She lay on the bed with her hands on her flat stomach.
The prince has not come to her house, when will she get pregnant?
In the study, King Wei was still busy. Yu Hai brought him a cup of health tea.
"Your Highness, take a sip of tea and rest."
King Wei took the teacup from Yu Hai's hand and lowered his head and drank the tea slowly.
"Your Highness, there is something that the slave and maid don't know whether to say or not."
"Say."
"Your Highness, there should be a little prince in the palace." As soon as Yu Hai finished speaking, he saw King Wei looking at him with fierce eyes, and his heart trembled with fright. "His Royal Highness Ten has always said that he wants a little nephew, have you forgotten?"
King Wei said coldly: "Go out." ”
He will never have a child, a child with the blood of the Southern Wei Dynasty with him!
