Chapter 8: If you like it, grab it
Tian Huai and Wei Qing exchanged glances and said, "There is King Lao!" After the minister returns, he will stay in Pucheng and wait for the princess's good news. β
King Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled, "Yes, if Princess Qingyang's marriage is decided, maybe King Chen will allow Prince Tian to go to Yan Kingdom to drink a glass of wine." β
It will only take a few days to get from Chen Guopu City to Yan Guotai Kangcheng, Tian Huai really wants to come to Yan Wang, can he not let it?
After the two sides agreed, Tian Huai and others came back to pack their luggage.
Other forces also learned of the news that Chen's envoy was about to return to China.
Concubine Rou frowned, looked at Ji Ming who was sitting upright, and asked puzzledly, "Why did the envoy of the Chen State leave in such a hurry?" Didn't they wait for Princess Qingyang to get married before leaving? β
Ji Jing thought of the words she heard in Fengxiao Hall that night, and hooked the corners of her mouth mockingly, "Mother, my father has been refusing to give marriage for a long time, and if it drags on, the envoys of the Chen State will not be able to leave this year." β
"Yes! I don't know what your father thinks! Never mind! As long as you don't marry Princess Qingyang, by the way, the mother concubine told you to walk around with your cousin more, are you obedient? Concubine Rou stared at Ji Ming without blinking.
Ji Ming said: "Mother, the son has just come back, and at this moment, he will look at the door of Uncle Babaden's house, what will my father and outsiders think when they see it?" Besides, the mastermind behind the assassination of Erchen has not been found, who knows who knows the rat in the gutter, and there is no safety guarantee for people to leave the palace if they don't find Erchen, so it is better to stay in the palace to respond to all changes. Uncle Hengzhi has always been the uncle of Erchen, and he can't change it. β
Concubine Rou said hurriedly: "That's right! But your cousin should also talk about marriage, and now the most suitable woman for you in the whole Taikang City is your cousin, and I don't know where to go to find such a suitable prince and concubine for you if you miss your mother. β
Concubine Rou babbled a lot, and Ji Ming looked well-behaved and didn't eat oil and salt, and she lost her temper.
"Forget it, you go back first and think about it, and it's not too late to wait for Chen Guo's envoys to leave before acting."
After Ji Ming left, Concubine Rou looked at the big palace maid Lily beside her, "Do you say that the sixth prince has someone in his heart?" β
Lily paused, with a look of surprise on her face, "Niangniang, the slave maid thinks it is unlikely, with the temperament of the sixth prince, if the girl who really cares about it should be brought back to Yan Country together, but the sixth prince did not bring extra people." β
Concubine Rou thought for a while and said, "You go and bring Zhong Qiong to the palace." β
Zhong Qiong knelt down as soon as she entered Chengxi Palace.
Concubine Rou's face softened a lot, and she sighed as if reminiscing: "Back then, the palace entrusted the sixth prince to you, and in a blink of an eye, you are all so old, how have you lived in Chen Country all these years?" β
"Back to Niangniang, the sixth prince is fine." Zhong Qiong hung her head, her eyes flickering.
Concubine Rou asked steadily: "Zhong Qiong, you tell this palace honestly, does the sixth prince have a sweetheart in Chen Kingdom?" β
Zhong Qiong looked up in surprise.
Concubine Rou was even more shocked than her, "Really?" Who is it? β
Lily was dumbfounded, "This mother, don't be angry, gentleman Mu Shaoai, even if the sixth prince really has a sweetheart, it is human nature." β
Concubine Rou stared at Zhong Qiong directly, seeing that her scalp was numb, she had to say truthfully: "It is a doctor, not a woman from a family, but the sixth prince just asked the slave maid to protect each other, and he has never acted out of line." β
"He didn't bring anyone back?" Concubine Rou frowned and asked.
Zhong Qiong nodded.
Concubine Rou was speechless, "It's really useless!" Since you like it, you should try to get it, so what's the matter with letting it go? β
Zhong Qiong: "????? β
Lily: "!!!! β
"Niangniang, do you mean to support the sixth prince to marry the woman he likes?" Zhong Qiong was dumbfounded, thinking that she was having auditory hallucinations.
Concubine Rou sneered: "Since you like it, marry it, this palace is such a precious son, as long as the palace he likes is all supported, he is the prince of Yan, three wives and four concubines are normal, this palace is still very open in this regard!" However, the woman's background is not enough, at most she can only be a side concubine, and the position of the prince and concubine must be reserved for a woman with a prominent family.
Now the problem is that the woman is in the Chen Kingdom, and it is almost impossible for the people of the palace to bring that woman to the Yan Kingdom! Ay! If you have any good ideas, hurry up and tell us. β
Zhong Qiong and Lily didn't expect Concubine Rou to think like this at all, the two glanced at each other, their brains were gibberish on the same channel, where was there any good idea.
Zhong Qiong returned from Chengxi Palace to the Yulong Hall where the sixth prince lived, and hurriedly reported the situation to Ji Ming.
Ji Ming was a little surprised, "Mother really said that?" β
Zhong Qiong nodded vigorously, "The subordinates thought that Niangniang would be angry, and said some ugly and abusive words, and even blamed the master, but I didn't expect Niangniang not only not to accuse, but also to express support, and the subordinates carefully watched Niangniang's reaction, she was sincere." β
All the people in the room were moved.
Lu Yiyi: "Master, I knew that I should have tied Huang Ye to Yan Country in the first place, and cooked raw rice to mature rice, she could only stay by your side obediently."
Before he could speak, Lu Er's mouth was sealed, and Lu Er frowned and looked at Zhong Qiong, "Why are you so naΓ―ve, you can say whatever your mother asks!" β
Zhong Qiong looked aggrieved, "I am Niangniang's person, Niangniang has the grace of regeneration to me, I can't lie to her." β
"What an elm head!" Lu Er scolded angrily.
Lu Yi broke Lu Er's hand, dissatisfied with the accusation, "What do you say Zhong Qiong is doing?" She was faithful, and there was nothing wrong with her! Besides, who else in this world really thinks about the master? β
"That's it! Don't make any noise! Ji Ming interrupted their dispute, looked at Zhong Qiong, and said, "From today onwards, you will go back to serve at your mother's side." β
"Master!" Zhong Qiong was shocked and knelt down with a plop, "The subordinates know that they are wrong, please don't drive the subordinates away." β
Ji Ming shook his head, "This palace is not to drive you away, but everyone knows that you are the mother concubine, you are a woman who stays in the Yulong Palace, it is better to go back to the mother concubine and do things for the mother concubine, protect the mother concubine, there are a few deer and a few of them around the palace, it is enough." β
Zhong Qiong raised his head and looked at Ji Ming cautiously, and was relieved to see that he was not displeased, and obediently kowtowed to receive his life.
After Zhong Qiong went out, Lu Yi was a little lost.
Concubine Shu heard that the envoys of the Chen State were about to leave the Yan Kingdom, and immediately went to the Lingxiao Palace to ask to see the King of Yan.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has already told the Chen family in the past few days, the fifth child and the second lady of the Chen family, Chen Yin, are really compatible, please give me a marriage."
King Yan put down the fold, looked deeply at the woman kneeling below, and said slowly: "I don't know that the fifth child and the second miss of the Chen family are in love. β
Concubine Shu's heartbeat missed half a beat, and she sneered: "Your Majesty, you have a lot of opportunities, and naturally you don't have time to take care of this little matter as the fifth child, so the concubine came to ask you for marriage today." β
King Yan waved his hand, "Okay!" Lone already knows, you step down. β
"This is, the concubine has retired." Concubine Shu turned back three times in one step, her eyes were unwilling and aggrieved.
