Chapter 114: Government Affairs

The marriage between the Qian and Zhao families was completed, and the concubine Rong in the palace took the tenth prince Lin Su to see Empress Zhao.

"My son, please send your regards to the Queen Mother." Lin Su respectfully saluted Queen Zhao.

Empress Zhao nodded with satisfaction, "Get up, Tenth Prince."

She looked at Concubine Rong, "Concubine Rong, stop standing, sit down and talk. Let's go."

Concubine Rong smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Queen." After saying that, she sat down at the foot of Queen Zhao.

“I heard that the tenth prince is learning to ride a horse recently?” Queen Zhao asked gently.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Lin Su replied, "My son feels that the art of horseback riding is very important for soldiers, so I asked my father to hire a master to teach me."

When Empress Zhao heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, your mother is very happy that you have such a heart. It's just that it's hard to learn the art of riding a horse, so you have to take good care of yourself."

"Thank you very much. If the queen cares about her, her sons will pay attention to it." Lin Su replied respectfully.

Empress Zhao looked at Rong Bin and said: "Rong Bin, you have worked hard too. How is the tenth prince's studies?"

Rong Bin said hurriedly: "Return to the Queen's words , The tenth prince’s studies are pretty good, and the article he wrote yesterday was praised by his husband.”

“That’s good, the tenth prince is smart and sensible, and I like him very much.” Empress Zhao said slightly smiled.

After chatting some more about everyday things, Empress Zhao asked Rong Bin and Lin Su to leave.

At this time, the emperor of the previous dynasty was discussing with the ministers, "What do you think of the marriage?"

As a defeated country in Northern Xinjiang, it not only had to pay compensation of one hundred silver Wan Liang also ceded five cities and sent Princess Anaya, the most beloved daughter of the King of Northern Xinjiang, to come for marriage.

A minister held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the marriage is feasible. The marriage can demonstrate our dynasty's generosity and tolerance, and can also stabilize the situation on the border."

Another minister said: "Your Majesty, I think this move is inappropriate. If you are not from our clan, your heart must be different. What if Princess Anaya has evil intentions and is detrimental to our country?"

"How can she, a little girl, make a big splash? As long as she is properly supervised, we can ensure that she will not do anything detrimental to our government." The previous minister said disdainfully.

"Our dynasty's national power is at its peak, what can a mere woman do? Mr. Jiang is too worried." Another minister said.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the marriage is feasible. Since the King of Northern Xinjiang has been defeated, he will definitely try his best to avoid another war. Sending the princess as the marriage partner also shows their sincerity.meaning. Moreover, when the princess comes to our court, she will be strictly monitored and her safety will be guaranteed. "

There are more ministers who are in favor of letting Princess Anaya come and marry her than those who are opposed.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said: "What you said is reasonable, Wu Hai, just You will be the envoy to bring Princess Anaya to our court. "

The minister of Honglu Temple came out and said, "I accept the order. ”

The news that Northern Xinjiang was sending a princess to get married instantly spread throughout the government and the public, and became a hot topic in the streets.

Even Zhao Wangshu gossiped with Yun Hao about this "Do you think the princess from Northern Xinjiang is very beautiful?" "

Yun Hao, who was helping her peel the fruit, looked up at her and said: "According to rumors, the princess in Northern Xinjiang has dark skin and a tall figure, which is very different from the women in the Central Plains."

"I don't believe it. When the marriage delegation comes, I will definitely go to the street to watch the excitement."

"Eat the fruit." Yun Hao handed the fruit to her and held the handkerchief. Zi wiped the juice from her hands.

Zhao Wangshu took the fruit, took a few bites, and suddenly thought of something, "Yun Hao, the emperor will not point out the princess to you, right?"

"No, the emperor If she is not included in the palace, she will be pointed out to the prince, so as to achieve the purpose of marriage."

"What if the emperor is confused and has to point her out to you, or the princess Are you attracted to you? You also know that your face is attractive." Zhao Wangshu said and couldn't help but reach out to touch his face.

Yun Hao grabbed her hand, lowered his head and kissed her fingertips, "The emperor will not force marriage, and I don't like her either."

Zhao Wangshu continued to eat the fruit with satisfaction. She would not have thought at this time that Princess Anaya did not fall in love with Yun Hao, but fell in love with her brother.

I won’t mention it for now.

The next day, the two concubines of Prince Xiangzheng entered the palace at the same time. Their fathers’ official ranks were not high. One was a doctor in the Jiangxi Qing Li Division of the Ministry of Punishment, and the other was the right eunuch of the Shanglinyuan Prison. .

Neither of these two concubines was what Prince Xiangzheng wanted to marry. They were women who would not help him seize the throne at all. Why would he marry them?

The two women occupied the position of concubine, making it impossible for him to use these two positions to win over others.

The Prince of Xiangzheng County became angrier as he thought about it, and slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

"Your Majesty, the sedans of the two concubines have entered the palace. The princess invites you to go to the wedding hall to receive the ceremony." The chamberlain came in and said.

To accept a concubine, Prince Xiangzheng does not need to go to marry him, but he has to accept tea from the concubines together with the princess, which is a complete etiquette.

The Prince of Xiangzheng County rubbed his face, showed his usual fake smile, and went to the wedding hall.

There are two pink sedans parked in front of the wedding hall, and the two concubines are still sitting in them. When will Prince Xiangzheng come to the wedding hall, and when will they get off the sedans.

As soon as the Prince of Xiangzheng County entered the door, the princess said angrily: "Your Majesty, you are finally here, and you almost missed the right time."

In fact, the Prince of Xiangzheng County She was very happy to arrive late, which meant that the prince was not tired of the old.

"It's a mistake, it's not a big deal." Prince Xiangzheng sat down on his seat, "Let them come in."

Xiniang supported the two A concubine came in. When she was serving tea to the princess, the princess vomited before she could take the tea. She retched for a long time without vomiting anything. She raised her hand to support her head and said, "My head feels so dizzy." ”

She fainted as soon as she said she was dizzy, shocking all the guests who came to watch the ceremony. It’s not that the eldest daughter of Shen Guogong’s mansion always knew the general situation, so why did she blatantly show off her power to the two concubines today? ?

The Prince of Xiangzheng County rushed over and took the Princess into his arms, "Go and call for the doctor, go and call for the doctor."

"Your Majesty, today we are two It's a good day for a concubine to come in. Why don't you invite a doctor to come?" said the maid next to the princess.

"What's wrong? The princess's body is the most important." Prince Xiang looked like he loved his wife.

When Mrs. Shen Gongguo’s Crown Prince saw this scene, she smiled with satisfaction.

When the doctor diagnosed that the princess was pregnant, the Crown Prince’s wife became even more happy and went back to tell her husband about it.

The Crown Prince of Shen told Duke Shen about this matter again. Duke Shen, who had already bet on Prince Xiangzheng, gave his full support to Prince Xiangzheng.

What happened in the palace of Xiangzheng County and the private actions of Duke Shen were recorded by Long Tingwei and presented to the emperor by Yun Hao.

After reading the brochure, the emperor sneered, "Continue to monitor the movements of Prince Xiangzheng and Duke Shen, and report to me at any time."

He is not dead yet, Duke Shen I just want to start over again and try my best to follow the dragon again.

"Yes." Yun Hao saluted, "I leave."

"Jingyao." The emperor stopped him again.

Yun Hao stopped and said, "I'm here."

"Jingyao, are you nineteen years old?"

"Yes. "

The emperor asked with concern: "Does your mother have any plans for your marriage?"

"Yes, she is optimistic about it.He married a girl and said that he would propose marriage when the girl gets hair extensions. "Yun Hao deliberately lied to prevent the emperor from marrying him.

"The girl your mother likes must be a good girl. The emperor paused and said, "When the time comes, I will grant you a marriage." "

"Thank you, Your Majesty. "Yun Hao did not refuse. The emperor's offer of marriage was an honor, although he did not appreciate it.
