Both parties agree, there is no reason to refuse, so even what the queen mother said is obviously demolishing the situation.
Even the Queen Mother nodded indifferently, "It is indeed a good match, then the emperor will issue a decree to grant the marriage, but since it is a marriage, I wonder which minister's girl the emperor plans to marry to the prince of Dongchu?"
Emperor Dongming frowned, he had no intention of marrying Song Rui to anyone, let alone a marriage, but when the Empress Dowager Lian mentioned it, if he didn't nod, it was clear that he was looking down on Dongchu!
Doesn't even the Queen Mother know Dong Ming's thoughts, she just mentioned it on purpose.
"Your Majesty, if Dong Chu can marry a beautiful woman from Dongming back, it will be of great benefit to both Dong Ming and Dong Chu. Before coming, the emperor father told me that he must bring a princess back to help the two countries develop together."
Song Rui took what Empress Dowager Lian had said, and said something again, Emperor Dongming's face darkened slightly, but it was difficult to perform due to the crowd.
After thinking about it carefully, marrying a minister's daughter-in-law is nothing, so he agreed, and his face softened.
For some reason, Xiao Yu's eyelids twitched, and she always felt that Song Rui's eyes were looking towards her intentionally or unintentionally, and she felt goosebumps all over her body.
"Everyone here is Dongming's noble daughter. I wonder which one the prince has his eyes on?"
When Emperor Dongming finished speaking, he immediately attracted a lot of attention from the crowd. Many noble ladies blushed, showing a bit of shyness, as if they were waiting for Song Rui to say something.
After all, Song Rui is the most proud son of Emperor Dongchu, and the future throne will most likely be passed on to Song Rui, and he will be the queen of Dongchu in the future!
How can it make people not be tempted? Soon Song Rui raised his eyebrows and looked straight at Xiao Concubine. His eyes seemed to be looking at a prey waiting to be hunted by him, and he was sure to get it!
Emperor Dongming's heart tightened when he saw it, and he opened his mouth quickly, but was interrupted very quickly by the Queen Mother Lian, "Since it is to safeguard the development of the two countries, so many noble daughters of Dongming are all outstanding. There is no choice for everything, who said that the third princess is so good, we can't be compared to each other, your majesty, don't you think so?"
Even the Empress Dowager's eyes were slightly provocative. She could see clearly that Xiao Concubine was what Song Rui was looking for!
If Emperor Dongming agrees, then he will offend Prime Minister You and Lord Zhao Hou. If he does not agree, he will offend Song Rui, and there is no harm to her.
Emperor Dongming didn't know the reason, he clenched his fists tightly and stared at Song Rui.
Song Rui indeed looked arrogant and confident, and still did not look back, Xiao Concubine's face darkened, a little displeased.
Prime Minister Right slowly raised his eyes, "Princes should be careful in choosing concubines, the Emperor Dongchu is still waiting for the prince to return as soon as possible."
A simple sentence made Song Rui stop. This was a blatant threat. After coming to Dongming for a few days, he had probably figured out the situation in Dongming. If he wanted to borrow troops, Emperor Dongming would definitely ask for the right minister. .
In case of Emperor Dongming's borrowing of soldiers, Dongming's internal war will be chaotic. At that time, he will not be able to quench his thirst. Emperor Dongming will be helpless and let others slaughter him. Therefore, if Prime Minister You refuses, Emperor Dongming will most likely refuse to borrow soldiers.
Song Rui's eyes were dyed with flames, and he stared closely at Concubine Xiao, the amazement in his eyes was undisguised, he had never seen such a beautiful woman, every frown and smile was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the family background was prominent, the only prostitute of the Prime Minister, If you can marry Concubine Xiao, you can get the support of the right minister, and borrowing soldiers is not a problem at all.
Song Rui thought about it, and took a few more steps in the direction of Xiao Concubine. He didn't pay attention to the warning from the right minister at all. Xiao Concubine was really bewitching. excited.
"Prince Dongchu is staring at Benhou's fiancée like this, it's too presumptuous!"
Suddenly Zhao Zun spoke in a cold voice, Song Rui followed the voice, and saw a man behind him looking at him coldly, his eyes were three points sharper than an eagle's, which made him slightly surprised.
Although the man is wearing a half mask, it doesn't affect his temperament at all. He is outstanding, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere.
Marquis Zhao is also a newcomer in the capital. In just one year, he rose to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. He has won the trust of Emperor Dongming, and he has strong financial support behind him.
With just one glance, Song Rui felt that this person was extremely dangerous and not a character to be trifled with, so he took a few steps back.
In the crowd, Zhen Yan's face was livid, she stared at Song Rui closely, her heart was beating extremely fast, and she raised her eyes to look resentfully at the man opposite, saddened, she was obviously his wife.
After Song Rui analyzed the pros and cons, he turned around and smiled slightly, "Master Zhao may have misunderstood, I'm not looking at your fiancée, but her!"
Song Rui casually pointed at Zhen Yan!
Zhen Yan's eyes widened in disbelief, her heart beat inexplicably faster, and then another wave of anger welled up in her heart, extremely angry.
Zhao Zun chuckled, "Prince Dongchu has good eyesight, you two are a match made in heaven!"
Song Rui smiled, he didn't know who Zhen Yan was at all, it just happened that she was standing behind Concubine Xiao.
Zhen Yan's face turned pale when he heard the words, could it be that he didn't care about his own feelings at all, allowing others to marry her back home, Zhen Yan didn't recover for a long time.
Song Rui sat back in his seat, looked up at Emperor Dongming, "I wonder if the emperor would be willing to part with this beauty?"
Emperor Dong Ming glanced at Zhen Yan, and then at the Prime Minister on the right. Zhen Yan was prepared for Prince Chen's son, so why was Song Rui picked him up by such a coincidence.
Even the Empress Dowager was a little disappointed, thinking that she could provoke the relationship between Emperor Dongming and Prime Minister Right, but unexpectedly, a figure rushed out the next moment.
"No, Prince Dongchu can choose anyone, but she can't!"
"Cheng'er!" The Empress Dowager Lian's complexion changed slightly, "Go back and sit down, what does this matter have to do with you!"
From the moment Prince Chen saw Zhen Yan, his chest throbbed violently, his whole mind was filled with every frown and smile of Zhen Yan, which was exactly the same as the woman he had thought of in his mind for the past few days, suppressing the irritability of these days , followed by a burst of ecstasy.
Zhen Yan's eyelids twitched, as if something was wrong, Princess Zhaohe was not far from the lower right head of Emperor Dongming, but Princess Zhaohe didn't seem to have any strange eyes on the right minister, her expression was always calm, even if she glanced at this On the other side, his eyes also passed over the right minister calmly, without stopping at all.
Something is wrong!
On the contrary, Prince Chen looked at him like a demon, Zhen Yan's chest jumped very fast, and he couldn't help looking at Prince Chen.
Zhen Yan bit her lip tightly, the severe pain brought her back to her senses, and an ominous premonition lingered in her heart.
"Grandmother, my grandson has been in love with County Lord Xinling for a long time, and wants to marry her!"
Sure enough, the son of Prince Chen really said it, Zhen Yan's fingernails were dug into his flesh, there must be something wrong, he glanced casually, and saw Xiao Concubine smiling at her.
"Look, County Lord Xinling's good fortune has come."
"It's you!" Zhen Yan uttered two words between her teeth, full of hatred.
Xiao Concubine raised her lips, "I don't understand what Xinling County Lord is talking about."
There is nothing to understand here, it has been tricked!
"It's a good trick to use it! Xiao Concubine, count yourself as ruthless!" Zhen Yan held a small golden hairpin tightly in her hand, and she was easily attracted by the other party after being hit by the Lovesickness Gu, blurring her consciousness. The hairpin poked on his arm to keep himself awake.
Lovesickness Gu will only become more and more serious, and you can still maintain your sanity in the early stage. Once lost, it is difficult to recover.
"Cheng'er!" The Empress Dowager Lian warned with a face, she was very dissatisfied with Prince Chen's sudden rush out, which made people see all the jokes.
"Grandmother, my grandson really likes County Lord Xinling, and I don't want anyone but her." Prince Chen knelt up straight with a determined expression on his face. "Why didn't your son mention it earlier, this is the concubine that Prince Dongchu favors." Emperor Dongming pretended to be helpless, he did not expect to find the place for Empress Dowager Lian so soon, and let her lose all embarrassment.
Song Rui's complexion is not very good-looking, he was rejected twice in a row, it's no wonder his complexion is good-looking!
Even the empress dowager looked at Zhen Yan coldly with a livid face, and she couldn't get off the stage under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"Empress Dowager, Zhen Yan is still in the heat of filial piety and it is not suitable for her to marry, so I beg the Empress Dowager to help Zhen Yan."
Zhen Yan knelt down at the feet of the Empress Dowager Lian with a plop. Even the Empress Dowager would never agree to let Zhen Yan marry the Prince Chen's son, so Zhen Yan took the opportunity to stand up and politely refuse the matter, and she also rejected Song Rui.
"It doesn't matter, what if my son waited for you for three years!"
The son of the Prince of Chen has eaten the weight and is determined to marry Zhen Yan. Even the Queen Mother has never seen such a son of the Prince of Chen who is so persistent.
Hearing the hot filial piety, Song Rui only felt bad luck, and waved his hands, "A gentleman doesn't take what others like, if he knew that he was the son's sweetheart, then forget it."
"Thank you, Prince Dongchu, for your success!" Prince Chen smiled gratefully at Song Rui.
Song Rui smiled and said nothing, but felt more and more that Prince Chen's son would not be able to stand on the stage, because he lost face for a woman, he was not comparable to Emperor Dongming's faction, and he was even more fortunate that he did not pick the Queen Mother as an ally.
When he was at the post station, Song Rui did see Xiao Concubine's portrait, and he was astonished. Xiao Concubine's status was nothing more than a normal person, and he brought back several concubines.
But it happens to be the right-hand man's top-notch, for the sake of the overall situation, Song Rui will not be obsessed with beauty and forget about business. After a big event, there is no what kind of woman he wants.
Besides, maybe it was deliberately arranged by someone, so Song Rui resolutely gave up Xiao Concubine.
As for Zhen Yan, Song Rui didn't care at all, so why not give it to Prince Chen's son,
The Empress Dowager Lian held back her great anger, and stared at Zhen Yan fiercely, "Why do you have to come out to show your face when you are in Rexiao? It's not too bad luck, come on, send County Lord Xinling to Xining Palace!"
"Grandmother!" Prince Chen met the empress dowager's cold and angry eyes, and he didn't dare to speak any more. He just watched Zhen Yan being taken away, feeling anxious for a while.
Zhen Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Before leaving, she stared at Xiao Concubine deeply, full of hatred. Xiao Concubine went forward fearlessly, with a smile on her lips, and the hatred in her eyes was no less than that of Zhen Yan.
"It's rare for the son to be sincere. Why should the empress embarrass him? In my opinion, the two are just right."
Emperor Dongming was in a very happy mood, Prime Minister Right did not disappoint him, after finishing the matter, seeing Prince Chen's affectionate and persistent appearance, it didn't look like a fake at all, and he made such a fuss in front of so many people, even The Empress Dowager's face turned green.
Even when the Queen Mother was angry, Emperor Dongming was happy. The two had been fighting for decades, and they still enjoyed it.
Even the queen mother snorted, "Young people, some impulsiveness is inevitable, besides, if you meet a girl you like again, if you are picked away by someone, wouldn't you regret it for the rest of your life? , the Ai family thinks it's justifiable."
How could the Empress Dowager let Emperor Dongming read the joke, so she suppressed her great anger and smiled to round up the topic.
Emperor Dongming smiled, only to hear Empress Dowager Lian say again, "I don't know who the emperor plans to bestow on Prince Dongchu. Since he is an ally, how can the daughter of an ordinary courtier be worthy of the status of Prince Dongchu? According to Ai's family, Princess Showa is the most suitable."
Emperor Dongming's face was slightly gloomy, Princess Zhaohe had been staying in the Jokhang Temple to worship the Buddha devoutly, and he just returned to Beijing yesterday, and before enjoying himself, he was about to be sent to marry by the Empress Dowager Lian.
Unexpectedly, Princess Zhaohe blushed, "Uncle, if Zhaohe can share one or two for uncle, Zhaohe will naturally be willing."
Emperor Dong Ming was slightly taken aback, and looked at Princess Zhaohe with a bit of pity and guilt.
"Your Majesty, I think that the Queen Mother's suggestion is very good. The princess is of high status, and it is fair to be paired with the Prince of Eastern Chu."
Prime Minister on the right was the first to agree, and soon Song Rui nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Emperor Dongming had no choice but to agree, and conferred the princess of Zhaohe Princess Zhaohe on the spot, and married Dongchu!
