Chapter 21: Drawing Wages from the Bottom of the Cauldron
The sixth prince hurriedly greeted him, "How are you?" ”
"Brother Six Princes" Princess Mingyue cried loudly, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances.
There was a hint of embarrassment on King Chen's face.
Cao Xia solemnly said to King Chen: "Your Majesty, Yan Guo sent his beloved Princess Mingyue to Chen Guo and his relatives, full of sincerity, if the king is not satisfied with Princess Mingyue, he can say directly, we can bring Princess Mingyue back, and another princess will come, why do you abuse Princess Mingyue so much?"
Wechen heard that this matter was done by Princess Yuhua of your country, and Wechen wanted to ask, but Princess Mingyue made a mistake or did Princess Mingyue take the initiative to trouble Princess Yuhua? If it is not Princess Mingyue's fault, but Princess Yuhua's brutal behavior, please give us an explanation! The princess of Yan Kingdom is here to kiss, not to be cheap! ”
"Presumptuous!" The attendant beside King Chen scolded sharply.
Cao Xia was not afraid at all, "This is Chen Guo's hospitality?" If you don't take advantage of reason, you will overwhelm people with power? ”
The chamberlain will speak.
Chen Wang stopped, "Enough! This matter is indeed Princess Yuhua did not do it right, Lone will give you an explanation, Lone assures you, there will never be a second time, if this happens again, let alone Princess Yuhua, even if it is a concubine, she will not tolerate it! ”
The sixth prince only looked at Princess Mingyue, and his voice was neither high nor low, "What did the imperial doctor say?" ”
Princess Mingyue cried so much that she couldn't help herself, "The imperial doctor said that I was disfigured, Brother Wang, what should I do."
"It's okay, it's okay, there's Brother Liuwang." The sixth prince comforted Princess Mingyue vigorously.
King Chen left a message for them to wait for the news and left.
Without King Chen's presence, Princess Mingyue's crying stopped abruptly, and even her tears were collected, and her face changed faster than turning a book.
The sixth prince frowned, "What happened?" ”
Princess Mingyue gently stroked her face and sneered: "I deliberately dressed up and went to Xiyue Palace to greet Concubine Gongsun Guifei, and said something that angered Princess Yuhua. ”
"Princess! Why are you doing this? Cao Xia couldn't understand it, and his voice was out of tune.
Princess Mingyue lowered her eyes, "Brother Liuwang doesn't want to marry Princess Yuhua, does he?" You still want grain, cloth, and porcelain, and sacrifice me alone to fulfill everyone, isn't it? ”
Everyone was silent.
As soon as they received the news, they thought about it, but they didn't announce it, and now that Princess Mingyue said it so bluntly, everyone was a little uncomfortable.
The sixth prince was expressionless, "Is it worth it?" ”
"It's worth it!" Princess Mingyue suddenly became emotional, and whispered in the ear of the sixth prince: "I can't sleep for the time being because of my disfigurement, when you return to Yan Kingdom, if you delay for a while, King Chen will forget about me as a person, even if he thinks of me, he will lose interest when he sees my face."
The concubine and Princess Yuhua hurt me once, you remember to ask King Chen for more benefits, and you must let King Chen have a long memory, so that he will not let those two women hurt me a second time, isn't it worth it to exchange a scar for so many benefits? ”
The sixth prince glanced at Princess Mingyue deeply and had nothing to say.
King Chen really promised to give grain cloth and grain as everyone expected, and the envoys followed the instructions of the sixth prince to bargain in Cheng'an Palace, and quarreled with the ministers of Chen Guo with red faces, which was worse than shrews scolding the street, and the envoys of Yan State even played a scoundrel, lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, "I want Princess Yuhua to be punished, not to mention those compensations." ”
King Chen was almost fainted, but the minister thought that it was cost-effective to sacrifice a Yuhua princess, and he did not intend to give compensation, so the three parties fought and fought for three days before they barely reached an agreement: Chen Guo gave Yan Guo 40,000 catties of grain, 10,000 pieces of cloth, and 10,000 sets of fine porcelain.
After this incident, King Chen's favor for Princess Yuhua was suddenly reduced by half, and even Xiyue Palace was reluctant to step into it, as long as Gongsun Guifei cried with him, he was soft-hearted, but now Gongsun Guifei pretended to be sick and he didn't go over to take a look.
Gongsun Guifei was so angry that she smashed a room of porcelain, "What a princess Mingyue!" Hongu underestimated her! ”
Originally, she calculated well, and then asked King Chen to put some pressure on the envoys, and no matter how tough the sixth prince was, he had to bow his head and beg to marry Princess Yuhua, but she didn't expect Princess Mingyue to be so open-minded and give them a trick to draw salary.
With the matter of Princess Yuhua hurting Yan Guo and Princess Qin, Yan Kingdom will definitely not want Princess Yuhua and her relatives, that is to say, it is absolutely impossible for the sixth prince to marry Princess Yuhua, which is what Gongsun Guifei hates the most.
Red Candle came back from outside, carefully avoiding the fragments on the ground and came to Gongsun Guifei, "Niangniang, I have already fed the princess with medicine, and the princess will not make trouble again in the next few days, but the matter with the princess needs to be settled as soon as possible and send away those plague gods in Yan Kingdom, otherwise the princess will wake up and will make trouble again." ”
The reason why Princess Yuhua still had a little restraint before was because of the sixth prince, and now she knows that it is impossible for her and the sixth prince to completely let go, and it is not a big deal to kill the palace maid, I am afraid that she will stretch out her hand where it should not be.
While talking, another palace person hurriedly came to report. "Niangniang, the king has sent an edict that it is strictly forbidden for the people of Xiyue Palace to step into Mingyue Palace again, if Concubine Ming is injured because of the people of Xiyue Palace again, the king will not tolerate it, said. said."
"What did you say?" Gongsun Guifei's face was extremely ugly.
The palace man stubbornly said: "Said that if the princess hurts people for no reason, she will marry the princess to Huiping Mansion." ”
Gongsun Guifei's eyes were dark, she almost fainted, and gritted her teeth and said, "Does the king really say that? ”
Miyato nodded.
Gongsun Guifei slowly closed her eyes, and suppressed the monstrous hatred and anger in her eyes.
Red Candle was so anxious, "Niangniang, Huiping Mansion is in the southernmost part of the Chen Kingdom, I heard that there are all uncivilized barbarians, as well as pirates and thieves, it is not a place for people to stay at all, how can the king marry the princess to that kind of wild place!" ”
"He's tired of the palace and the princess! Also, Hongu's face is not young anymore." Gongsun Guifei stroked her face and laughed at herself, both unwilling and uneasy.
Red Candle shook her head vigorously, "Niangniang can't be discouraged, there is no shortage of young and beautiful women in the palace, do you think the king has looked at them a few more times?" Xu is because this time the envoy of Yan State opened his mouth, the king is distressed and will be so angry, you talk to the princess well, let the princess avoid the limelight, and when the envoy of Yan State leaves, Concubine Ming's injury is healed, who still remembers these things? ”
Gongsun Guifei didn't say anything, and acquiesced to the red candle's statement, "Since Princess Yuhua can't go to kiss, let's choose one from Princess Mingyang and Princess Qingyang." ”
"Yes! The slave maid looked at Princess Mingyang and seemed to be more like a princess, and she could also say a few words to the princess. Red Candle said respectfully.
Gongsun Guifei nodded, "Then let Princess Qingyang go and kiss, and always leave a companion for my son." ”
Gongsun Guifei's fluttering words decided Princess Qingyang's life.
