The feast in the palace did not last long. The marriage between Nanman and Qin was already a certainty. What is missing now is the last part. Which princess will Prince Xieyue ask to marry? This matter cannot be compared with Princess Caifeng. Although Princess Caifeng was also chosen by the Southern Barbarians and her relatives, she would definitely be a member of the Qin State after marrying her. Moreover, depending on the situation, if she married His Highness Prince Ning, her chances of becoming the leader of a country would be very slim.
Prince Xieyue is different. He is almost the future ruler of the Southern Barbarians. So the princess he marries will be the future queen of the Southern Barbarians and has the right to decide the national policies of the Southern Barbarians and the Qin State in the future. Therefore, compared to the marriage of Prince Xieyue, the Qin State is more concerned about the future of the Southern Barbarians. How much attention should be paid to it was also because Emperor Zongwen was not sure about the choice of princess for a while.
After coming down from the banquet in the main hall, Emperor Zongwen did not go back to his Qianqing Palace, but went directly to Concubine Wen.
When they arrived at the door, Concubine Wen Gui had already received the letter and came out. She bowed gently and respectfully in front of the chariot.
Emperor Zongwen held Liu Xi's hand, stepped out of the dragon chariot in one step, walked two steps closely, helped Concubine Wen up, and said in a gentle manner: "My beloved, there is no need to be polite, go in and talk first."
"Yes." Concubine Wen said softly, with a touch of joy on her face. Although it was not as ecstatic as other concubines when they saw Emperor Zong Wen, it made people feel comfortable and without pressure.
After being in the palace for so many years, Concubine Wen seemed to have never argued with anyone. She was pregnant before, and something happened to the child when she was about to be born. A good little prince died after he was born, and other concubines were also involved. Although Concubine Wen fainted from heartache, when she woke up, she did not say a word again, nor did she say that she had forced Emperor Zong Wen to punish the concubine, and she even begged for mercy. This made Emperor Zong Wen feel more for Concubine Wen. Guilt.
Because of this, I have always admired Concubine Wen's generosity and generosity. Although she did not give birth to a son, she was promoted to the position of concubine, and she and Concubine Su became the two concubines under the queen.
"Your Majesty, do you have anything to tell me when you come here today?" Concubine Wen took the tea cup with celadon flowers from the palace maid and put it on the table in front of Emperor Zong Wen with a smile.
"Xue He is not here?" Emperor Zongwen looked at Sakon and asked.
Usually at this time, the sixth princess, Feng Xuehe, is mostly at Concubine Wen's place, embroidering and playing with flowers and plants. Compared to the arrogant and trouble-making fifth princess, this sixth princess is really well-behaved, and she is usually gentle and gentle when she meets people, almost like a gentle man. The imperial concubine is printed from the same mold.
Emperor Zongwen was very satisfied with the sixth princess from the bottom of his heart. He once said that no matter whose family she married into, the sixth princess of his family would live a good life, with harmonious husband and wife, filial piety to the elders, and a harmonious family.
"Just now Princess Caifeng of the Southern Barbarians invited Xue He to go to the garden with her. Princess Xuan has always been in poor health, and Princess Yan just experienced something like that... We can't let Princess Caifeng go to the garden alone, just let Xue He In the past, it was always pitiful to accompany her and marry far away. Even the princess was still helpless. If she had a more domineering temper like Princess Caifeng, it would be better and she would not suffer any loss. If Change to a gentle one, but, hey..."
Concubine Wen Guifei moderately did not continue her words. The corners of her eyes wrinkled slightly, and a trace of unconcealable thoughts spread in the corners of her eyes. Even the smile on her lips became bitter, but she did not continue to speak.
Those few people in the Qin Palace have made it very clear about Princess Caifeng's temper in the past few days. With such a tyrannical temper, she will not even be able to decide on her own marriage in the end. What if it were replaced by someone with a soft temper? If it is extended, if After marrying a docile princess, I went to the land of the Southern Barbarians and saw no relatives everywhere. It was extremely difficult to take root in the Southern Barbarians.
At this moment, Emperor Zongwen hesitated. The Sixth Princess was kind-hearted and gentle. If she really married to the Nanman, could she really hold her back? Another point is that the fight in the harem has always been a matter of life and death. It is not easy to stand in the position of the Nanman Queen. Can the sixth princess Feng Xuehe really do it
His brows wrinkled unconsciously, mentally comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the sixth princess and the seventh princess.
In Emperor Zongwen's view, the Sixth Princess had no advantages at all. Although Emperor Zongwen liked the Sixth Princess's temperament, wouldn't someone with such a temperament marry her to the point where her bones would be eaten away? How could the benefits of the marriage between Nanman and Qin be realized if he couldn't even protect himself.

Or maybe the sixth princess's accident will lead to a war between the two countries.
Thinking of this, Emperor Zongwen chose the seventh princess again. The seventh princess had a stronger temperament than the sixth princess, but the overall feeling was still not good. At this moment, Emperor Zongwen thought of the fifth princess. Based on the fifth princess's temperament and the queen's As a legitimate daughter, it would be most suitable for her to marry a Nanman.
Coupled with the fact that the princess has one hundred secret guards, it can be said that she is foolproof. With someone to protect her, plus her strong temper, and the support of the Qin State, she is almost invincible. However, the fifth princess has arrived in Yan before. After the country was gone, Emperor Zongwen really had a headache.
Emperor Zongwen did not answer Concubine Wen's words, and the hall suddenly became quiet. Seeing that Emperor Zongwen frowned and said nothing, Concubine Wen did not urge her. She walked aside and softly ordered the maid next to her to prepare sobering soup and ask someone to Put two spoons of honey in it.
Emperor Zongwen didn't like anything too bitter, so he even had to put honey in the sobering soup before he could drink it.
Listening to Concubine Wen Gui's thin and soft voice, her concern was a little delicate. The expression on Emperor Zong Wen's face softened, and he waved Concubine Wen Gui to come over. He pulled Concubine Wen Gui to sit down on the side, gently. He said: "My beloved, there is no need to be busy. I will leave in a moment. I also want to see my mother. I heard that something happened at my mother's place just now. She should be unhappy about it."
Concubine Wen docilely followed Emperor Zongwen's hand and sat down, raised her head, and when Emperor Zongwen said she was leaving immediately, her face showed a slight hint of disappointment, but it was then covered up by a gentle smile, but her expression changed. The fastest, it also fell into the eyes of Emperor Zong Wen who had been staring at her closely, his expression becoming more and more kind.
"Your Majesty, no matter how busy you are, if you drink the sobering soup before leaving, I will not prepare food here. At the Queen Mother's place, I heard that it is also a matter on the Nanman side. It is said that Princess Caifeng does not know something sent by the Nanman. The poisonous ornaments are to be given to Princess Xuan. The Queen Mother is very unhappy about this matter. I just asked someone to inquire about it, but the Queen Mother said there is nothing wrong."
Emperor Zongwen had actually known about this for a long time, so he was even more determined to marry Princess Caifeng to Feng Juezhen. No one would be safe if she let such a poisonous woman go, so Prince Xieyue mentioned it and pushed the boat forward. They all agreed. At this time, I heard that Concubine Wen Gui had dealt with it first and behaved appropriately, which was greatly appreciated.
"My beloved concubine is indeed my good helper. In this case, I will not go to Cining Palace. I will have dinner at my beloved concubine's place today." Emperor Zongwen said with satisfaction.
At this time, the hangover soup had been delivered. Concubine Wen brought the hangover soup to Emperor Zongwen with a smile. Emperor Zongwen took it and drank it in one gulp. As expected, it had no bitter taste and was moderately sweet. It was his favorite taste. She became more and more satisfied with Concubine Wen. She put down the bowl at hand. Concubine Wen had already given her a fragrant handkerchief and tried it on her lips. Concubine Wen took it and put it on a tray for others to take away.
"I am so happy that the emperor can have dinner at my concubine's place. Just now the emperor asked Xue He if I would like my concubine to send someone to call Xue He?" Concubine Wen said with uncontrollable joy on her face. There was a bit of joy in the corners of his lips, as if it was a surprise that Emperor Zongwen stayed for dinner, and his normally calm face couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"There's no need to call her, just let her go shopping with Princess Caifeng." Emperor Zongwen waved his hand.
At this time, I had doubts in my heart, and I couldn't make up my mind for a moment, so I didn't plan to call the Sixth Princess. Originally, Emperor Zongwen came to check out the Sixth Princess. Although it was the Emperor who decided which princess to marry, if he could see himself It is better if the daughter is willing.
Concubine Wen nodded with a smile, as if she didn't know that Emperor Zongwen changed his mind with just a few words of her own. She wholeheartedly asked the maid on the side to prepare Emperor Zongwen's favorite dishes, while she smiled and persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, I went to the palace of my sister Yufei early this morning. My sister Yufei is so thin that she is almost inhuman shape. I told my concubine that if the emperor is free, he should go to her palace to see her. The emperor is the only one with her now."
"Alone? You can't even protect the emperor's heir. You only focus on fighting against others, and you still have the nerve to talk about one person." Upon hearing about Yu Fei, Emperor Zongwen's face suddenly darkened and he snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Wen still wanted to persuade her, but Emperor Zongwen glared at her angrily and was so frightened that she could not say a word.
"Don't worry about Concubine Jade's affairs. Even if she doesn't care about my children, what kind of love and care does she want from me? Let her give up this love!"
Emperor Zongwen's eyebrows turned sharp and his face was gloomy. It seemed that Concubine Jade really couldn't turn over this time. Concubine Wen's eyes moved slightly. She knew what she was interested in and stopped talking. She timidly changed the topic: "Concubine Zhao's side." What? After all, there is no clear evidence that it was Zhao Fei’s sister who did it... "
Concubine Wen glanced at Emperor Zong Wen secretly. She didn't say everything, but her meaning was fully expressed.
"There is no need to worry about Concubine Zhao. She is thrown into the cold palace. Whatever she wants, let her live in the cold palace. She is already living a lonely life anyway." Emperor Zongwen said calmly.
Concubine Wen didn't understand what he meant for a moment. She took a peek at her face, but there was no emotion or anger in her face, and she couldn't tell what he meant. However, compared to Concubine Yu's determination, she didn't seem so cruel to Concubine Zhao. She always felt that there was something in those words. By the way, do you mean living in a deserted state in the past ten years
Concubine Zhao has been independent from everyone in the harem for so many years. She neither needs to see the Queen nor the Queen Mother to pay her respects, nor can she come out. She is protected by Emperor Zongwen in the Mingyue Palace. Concubine Wen still doesn't understand what Emperor Zongwen means. When he talks about protecting, It is unreasonable to lock up a good beloved concubine for ten years at a time.
If it wasn't pampering, but just wanted to keep her locked up, then what was wrong with the guards at the door? She saw with her own eyes that when the emperor came to make trouble, he was blocked by the guards.
Concubine Wen has never been able to figure out Emperor Zongwen's attitude towards Concubine Zhao. In this situation, if Emperor Zongwen was really hateful, he would not say so many words.
Although she couldn't figure it out, Concubine Wen still nodded obediently. The next time she meets Concubine Su, she will tell her the emperor's true words. As for what she does, it has nothing to do with her. How Concubine Su treats Concubine Zhao, Whether there is still a fight between the two people, I can just sit back and watch.
Since everyone knows that they have no son! Then it’s best not to involve yourself in these matters. (To be continued)
