Su Wen walked in and whispered a few words in her ear.
Xie Yun's eyes were as cold as moonlight.
"I'm not a commodity to be sold, nor a fat sheep to be slaughtered. I cannot help those people have the final say on my life's major events."
Although Su Wen is strong in martial arts, she doesn't know anything about these matters, but vaguely finds it very tricky, so she asks: "The lady, what are you going to do?"
Xie Yunqing crumpled the waste rice paper into a ball, "Your Majesty probably forgot. I am the daughter of the Xie family, so I will remind your Majesty two."
There was gradually a rumor in Beijing.
The seventh prince of Yu State went to Da Zhou as an envoy to marry Da Zhou's women, establish an in-law relationship with Da Zhou, and obtain Da Zhou's help, so as to add a bargaining chip to his succession.
This rumor didn't know where it came from, and it spread into the palace in a short while.
"The princes of the Yu Kingdom are fighting for the position of the crown prince. I know that. I am still wondering why He Lianfeng does not ask to marry my princess, but wants to marry Xie Yong's daughter."
The servant magistrate of the Yellow Door wondered: "The servant is dull, and I hope your majesty can clarify."
The emperor snorted, "Then Helianfeng wanted to win over our Great Zhou, and Xie Yong might not be able to re-emerge with the power of Helianfeng. It has nothing to do with me who is the emperor of the Yu Kingdom, but I can't tolerate Xie Yong's sitting. "
The emperor pondered for a moment: "Send a message to He Lianfeng, saying that Xie Yong has only one precious daughter and does not agree to marry her daughter away, but any princess or princess in the royal family can marry him as a concubine."
When He Lianfeng heard the news, his face suddenly became gloomy.
"How could this be? But a courtier's daughter, the emperor's order is impossible. If the emperor of the Great Zhou really made an order, then the prince would dare to resist the order and fail?" He Lianyue shouted loudly.
Suddenly thinking of the rumors outside, she stopped abruptly.
The emperor of the Great Zhou had a weak knee, but she had more than two dozen brothers, all of whom were now like wolves and tigers, coveting the position of crown prince.
Although Brother Seven has never expressed the idea of seizing a concubine, as a prince, who has never thought about the throne of the nine-five-five-lord
In particular, Helianfeng's biological mother also had a certain status in the palace, and her mother was even a prominent family in Yu Kingdom.
If He Lianfeng wanted to take this opportunity to add wings to himself, he would explain it well.
He Lianyue does not have a brother of a female compatriot, and she plays well with He Lianfeng. If He Lianfeng becomes the throne, she would be happy to see him.
Thinking of this, He Lianyue's eyes rolled.
"Seven brother, I think that you have married Da Zhou's princess, which is also good for you. There are so many beauties, but there is only one chance."
How could Helianfeng not think of this.
He was just greedy for Xie Yunqing's beauty. He felt that she had some personality, but he never lacked women. Compared with women, power and status were more important to him.
Thinking of this, Helianfeng smiled in a low voice, the laughter grew louder and louder, and his shoulders were trembling.
"Yes, you're right. A mere woman, nothing."
He Lianyue thought of Xie Yunqing, and she felt resentful in her heart.
But it's a bit of beauty, why should his brother marry her as a concubine? Why did Xiao Xuan take her seriously
He Lianyue felt tight in her chest.
As soon as the brothers and sisters had finished speaking, people in the palace spread the word that it was Concubine Gao who wanted to see the ten princesses.
Helianyue
Answeringly asked: "I only looked at Concubine Gao from a distance at the palace banquet. Why did she want to see me?"
Helianfeng was also confused, "Go and see, she dare not do anything to you."
Helianyue rode a carriage into Yanxi Palace.
Concubine Gao Gui is worthy of being the beauty who has dominated the harem for so many years. She just sat there with a gorgeous and compelling temperament.
He Lianyue walked over and bowed to Concubine Gao Gui.
Concubine Gao Gui was dressed in a purple palace dress, a tall cloud bun, her phoenix eyes were well-shaped, her lips lit, and her whole body was glamorous and luxurious.
When I saw He Lianyue, she smiled and asked her to sit down, pointed to the girl in palace costume sitting aside, and said to He Lianyue: "She is the daughter of my palace and the sixth princess of my Da Zhou, called Xiao Ying."
Xiao Ying got up and half-littled He Lianyue.
He Lianyue looked at Xiao Ying, and saw that she was beautiful in life. Although she was also a beauty, she had nothing to imagine with Concubine Gao. Xiao Ying seems to be suffering from a deficiency, and her body is thin. Although she is well dressed up, she still sees that she is not in good spirits.
"The palace had only two children, the second prince and the sixth princess. The second prince is our emperor’s favorite prince and the most likely to inherit the throne. He married a few days ago, and now there is only one daughter left in this palace. The marriage hasn't settled, and I have been bothering about the marriage of the six princesses these days." Gao Guifei said with polite manners.
He Lianyue heard this, and she immediately understood. Looking up at the sixth princess on the opposite side, she saw that the sixth princess's complexion instantly turned pale, and the rouge on her face could not conceal the depression and disappointment.
The eyes of the six princesses met He Lianyue, and He Lianyue saw a dead silence in her eyes.
The six princesses quickly lowered their eyelids to conceal their emotions.
Concubine Gao Gui didn’t seem to be able to detect the emotions of the other two, and continued: “My palace heard that Yu is preparing to marry me with Da Zhou, and this daughter of my palace has reached the age of marriage. I wonder if the Seventh Prince of your country will consider One or two?"
He Lianyue wasn't completely stupid, and she understood what Gao Guifei meant after a little thought.
When she looked at the Six Princesses again, she already had a critical eye.
Although the six princesses were born tender and petite, they were too timid in the end. How can she be the concubine of her seventh brother
Especially, six princesses were under her scrutiny, already bowed their heads, and nervously tightened the hem of their clothes.
Concubine Gao just saw He Lianyue's expression and she knew He Lianyue's thoughts. She picked up the tea cup, did not drink tea, just used the tea lid to poke the tea leaves away, seeming to be waiting for He Lianyue to speak, and she didn't seem anxious at all.
He Lianyue withdrew her gaze, she didn't know what the concubine Gao's mother was, but she still knew the concubine Gao had been in favor for nearly twenty years.
The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is weak, and the second prince is most likely to inherit the throne. If the seventh brother married the daughter of Gao Guifei, then the chances of success in inheriting Datong will increase a lot in the future.
However, He Lianyue also understands that there is no free lunch in the world, and Gao Guifei's idea is probably also an abacus for win-win cooperation.
He Lianyue gritted her teeth and said, "I can't do this, so I still have to discuss it with my seventh brother."
Concubine Gao put the tea cup on the table at hand, "This is as it should be. This palace is waiting for your news."
The six princesses were sitting on pins and needles, listening to the conversation between the two, but felt that they could not stay for a moment. After Helianyue left, the six princesses also
Retired.
Concubine Gao Guifei raised her red lips and smiled brilliantly, just like a thorny rose in full bloom.
In Xie's mansion, the old lady just heard the news that the seventh prince of Yu Kingdom asked to marry Xie Yunqing, her face crooked with anger. Immediately after learning that the seventh prince still had to choose the concubine from the clan, he immediately laughed from ear to ear.
The thing she hated most in her life was seeing Xie Yong's line go smoothly and comfortably. Because Xie Yunqing disobeyed her several times, the old lady did not want to see Xie Yunqing gain power.
The old lady didn't know that she was afraid that Xie Yunqing would marry the royal family of Yu Kingdom, and Gu Yunshuang was also afraid that his daughter would marry that remote place.
Gu Yunshuang was holding Xie Yunqing's hand tightly at this time.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty didn't agree, otherwise I would definitely abandon this face and go to the Queen to cry."
Gu Yunshuang remained solemn for a lifetime, and Xie Yunqing couldn't really imagine what she was crying like.
Xie Yunqing held back his smile and walked over to pinch Gu Yunshuang's shoulders. She looked at the white hair coming out of Gu Yunshuang's temples, and her heart felt sour.
"Aniang, the emperor weighs the pros and cons, and won't allow us Xie's family to join the royal family, so don't worry."
Gu Yunshuang nodded and sighed. "After all, my daughter has grown up, and people have begun to covet our daughters."
Cheng Lin served the old lady to sleep, and received a post from the maid.
"Ms. Shen Jia invites you to go to the teahouse to reminisce about the past."
Cheng Lin squeezed the corner of the post, "If I remember correctly, I haven't contacted Miss Shen for a long time. I don't know what she is looking for."
"Does the girl want a slave girl to push Miss Shen's invitation?"
"No," Cheng Lin interrupted her, "It just happens that I've been boring in the mansion these days, so I should be relieved when I go out for a walk."
Cheng Lin took the sedan chair to the teahouse, led by Xiao Er to the box.
Shen Miaohua was already sitting in the box, and when she saw Cheng Lin, she got up and walked over to greet her.
Since Cheng Lin got engaged, she has always held her own identity. She put her hair in a bun, ignored Shen Miaohua, and sat down opposite her.
Shen Miaohua was so embarrassed by Cheng Lin, his smile was still perfect.
"I heard about the Seventh Prince begging your cousin to kiss me, I don't know how you feel?"
It turned out that she was invited over for this matter? Cheng Lin was puzzled.
"How do I feel? Didn't your majesty reject it? Besides, my cousin's marriage is naturally decided by her parents. What does it have to do with me."
"Don't you want your cousin to marry out soon? In this way, you are the only cousin in the Xie family. You will be able to get the attention of others more than ever before in Xie's family." Shen Miaohua seduced with a bewilderment. Cheng Lin.
"Think about it, Xie Yunqing is the only girl in the Xie family, the jewel in everyone's palm, with Xie Yunqing, who can see you? As long as she gets married, everyone's eyes will naturally turn to you, and you will become all The focus of the human eye."
Cheng Lin thought of the importance the entire Xie Mansion attached to Xie Yunqing, and thought of the aristocratic daughters who surrounded Xie Yunqing all the time.
She has always been jealous that Xie Yunqing can get so much attention. At this time, she was so provoked by Shen Miaohua that the jealousy in her heart was infinitely magnified, and her heart seemed to be scratched.
Cheng Lin drank two sips of tea and asked calmly: "As far as I know, you and my cousin were the best sisters in the past. Why, now you can't wait to think about my cousin leaving?"
