Chapter 39 The Sun
The second prince's appearance is so recognizable that he can tell his identity at a glance. It's like a conditioned reflex. Before the brain can react, Jiang Sui's body has subconsciously made the most appropriate movements.
He greeted the second prince Su Ri with a smile, stopped going forward, and slowly stepped back two steps to make way for the main road. Jiang Sui turned around, walked around to the back, and left through the back door.
He Yunzhou followed Jiang Sui with his eyes, and he turned his head when Jiang Sui's people had gone far away, "Your Highness, Second Prince, shall we go in?"
After finishing speaking, he didn't see any reaction from the second prince, so he couldn't help but increase the volume, "Your Highness, the second prince?"
The second prince suddenly came back to his senses, no matter where it was, he directly raised his hand and pointed in the direction where Jiang Sui left, "Who is that?"
He Yunzhou explained to him: "That is my Royal Highness the Regent. He fell ill some time ago and is still recuperating. You will see him again at the banquet tonight."
It turned out to be sick, no wonder the clothes were so thick and the skin was so pale.
Su Ri regards being strong and masculine as beautiful, but being weak also has the beauty of being weak. After all, a person’s skin color, body shape, and facial features are not important individually. The important thing is that they are combined to show the effect.
For example, now that the Second Prince's aesthetics have been washed away dozens of times, he actually begins to feel that the looks of the Wei Dynasty people don't seem so strange anymore.
After blinking several times, the second prince lowered his head and confirmed with He Yunzhou again, "Can I see him tonight?"
He Yunzhou smiled, "Naturally, His Majesty will hold a banquet for you, and all princes and ministers will attend. Although the regent is recovering from a serious illness, in order to show that he values you, he will definitely be there."
The second prince was very happy, with a smile all over his face, "For me, thank him."
He Yunzhou is used to the second prince's strange way of punctuating sentences. He is not used to it. It is the second prince's sudden enthusiasm. Today, King Cheng came to greet him with a broken arm, but he didn't smile much. Now Jiang Sui just had a face-to-face meeting with him. Is he that happy?
Sure enough, the ancient books are not deceitful, and there are always some strange creatures in abundance every day.
……
On the other side, Jiang Sui returned to the Wenhua Palace. He untied his cloak, sat on the soft bed, and poured himself a cup of tea.
The palace maid followed behind him step by step, and was arranging the cloak.
Suddenly, Jiang Sui heard the maid ask him in a low voice: "My lord, the one just now is Su Ri's envoy, the second prince of their country, right?"
Jiang Sui hummed, picked up the auspicious cake on the table, took a small bite of a piece, and after swallowing it, he asked, "What's wrong?"
The maid did not answer immediately. After Jiang Sui fell ill, if Wei Xun was not here, she would be the one who served Jiang Sui people. Getting along these few days is more effective than the past few months. The relationship between her and Jiang Sui has improved by leaps and bounds, and now they can share some things with each other. Harmless gossip.
She folded the cloak, then looked around, and found no one else was there, so she leaned over and said firmly, "My lord, I don't think he's a good person."
Jiang Sui: "..."
One by one, they all looked good.
Putting down and eating half of the auspicious cake, Jiang Sui raised his eyebrows, "Then tell me, he doesn't look like a good person."
"First of all, he has a very ferocious face. As the saying goes, it's always good to be careful. Second, he's been staring at you just now. When he turned the corner, the servant turned back and looked back. He's still staring at you. "
Jiang Sui held his chin, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He is the regent, and he never lacks to watch others wherever he goes. The second prince may have looked at him a few more times because of his official duties.
Seeing the court lady begging for approval, Jiang Sui thought for a while and said, "But, His Majesty is also like this."
Look fierce, tick.
If you have nothing to do, just stare at him and tick off.
The palace lady didn't expect him to say that, she choked up immediately, and after a long time, she retorted, "That, that, Your Majesty is different."
Jiang Sui looked up for knowledge, "What's the difference?"
Palace Maid: "..."
Your Majesty is her master, and her family always has to protect her own family, that's the only difference.
The maid who was born as an assassin had never learned sweet words, so she couldn't answer for a while, and when she figured out what reason to answer, it was already an hour later.
Wei Xun met the second prince and exchanged pleasantries with him all morning, the second prince went back to rest, and he changed to Jiang Sui's place to have lunch with him.
During the period, the maid kept thinking about Jiang Sui asking him that question. She stood aside and couldn't help comparing Wei Xun with the second prince.
Then she tragically discovered that His Majesty really looks a bit like that second prince, except that His Majesty is one size smaller than him, his skin color is two sizes lighter than his, and his appearance is three sizes higher than him.
The last item may have the bonus of a mother's eye filter, but the maid doesn't know what a filter is. She just thinks that the more she looks at His Majesty, the more proud she becomes, and the more she looks at His Majesty and the prince, the more she feels that they are a good match.
Jiang Sui was halfway through the meal when he suddenly felt the chill behind his back. He wanted to look back, but Wei Xun brought him a piece of pork ribs. Jiang Sui lowered his head to eat the ribs, and Wei Xun took the opportunity to raise his eyes and gave the maid a warning warning.
The maid's heart trembled, and she quickly stood up, not daring to look around.
After lunch, Jiang Sui and Wei Xun talked about the second prince. Wei Xun had a good impression of him. He was honest and upright. .
The representatives of the envoys have a national attitude, and the second prince's behavior shows that they really want to make friends with the Wei Dynasty this time, and use an equal attitude.
The strength of the country determines everything. Fortunately, Wei Xun was brought up by Jiang Sui. He will not talk about the word "great country" every day like some old stubborn people in the court. , Always on the verge of national subjugation for 30 years.
Wei Xun's ideas are considerable and rational. He seeks peace on the border, commerce between the two countries, and economic prosperity; while Prince Su Ri seeks national stability and increased succession bargaining chips. Both sides seek the same goal by different routes. , It will become an important stroke in the history books, recording the beginning of the long-term friendship between the two countries.
However, although accidents may be late, they are never absent.
……
Sitting quietly in the seat, Jiang Sui still regards himself as a mascot, who should eat and drink. If someone raises a toast, he will toast with him. The atmosphere of the night banquet is very harmonious. It was over like this. Suddenly, the second prince sitting opposite him stood up, bowed to Wei Xun who was in the highest position, and at the same time drew a circle between his eyebrows.
This is the etiquette of showing respect to people in the past day, and the circle represents the sun, which is also the totem of their country's worship.
Before the banquet started, the second prince had already shown the gifts he brought, and told the princes and ministers what kind of gifts his country wanted in return, nothing more than peace agreements, technical exchanges, road construction and so on. If they want something, Wei Xun has already promised before, how much they want to pay, and how much they want to spend on the weekends, they have to discuss in private with Liubu and Honglu Temple.Now the second prince stands up for another matter.
Their prince specifically told him to tell him this matter separately from the previous ones, because he did not want this matter to affect the transaction between the two countries.
As for what the prince wants to do, the second prince has already said it outrightly: "Also, my father, the emperor of the Suri Kingdom, wants to marry a wife from the Wei Dynasty for his son, so as to marry Qin and Jin." good."
The second prince said these words in a gentle and slow manner, as if he had typed a draft in advance. When Jiang Sui heard it, his heart groaned. He dared to want to get married. He stood up suddenly, making him think that he had left something for the past day. After the move.
Jiang Sui's mentality is very stable, but it doesn't mean that everyone's mentality is stable. As soon as the second prince said this, the hall suddenly became noisy, and many people were whispering.
There is no other reason, they want to get married every day, but who do they marry? ?
The only remaining princess in the entire royal family is Princess Zhu Shaochang. Let alone she is in her 30s and has been married twice. The problem is that she has been married a long time ago. The dead eldest princess has her heart full, but there is no one in the sky, so he can't do anything.
The princess has nothing to do, so she can only find the clan master or the county master. After counting for a long time, they found that all the princesses of the right age are married, and they are still baby babies if they are not married. The oldest is only nine years old.
You can't let a nine-year-old girl marry, that's too beastly.
As a result, the only person who meets the marriage criteria is the county owner of Yongshan.
However, this candidate is not satisfactory. First of all, she is the daughter of a princess, not a prince, and her surname is not Wei, which violates the original intention of the marriage.Secondly, she is the only daughter of the eldest princess. Not long after the second marriage of the eldest princess, her husband passed away due to illness. For so many years, she has been guarding her daughter to live. The Lord Shan County married so far away.
Talk like this...
Immediately, everyone in the whole banquet felt insecure and their scalps were tense, especially those who were left and right, for fear that the emperor would suddenly remember that there was an unmarried girl in their family, who would make them princesses on the spot and pack them up and send them to Suri.
The road to marriage is too dangerous. Isn't the eldest princess the best example? If you don't pay attention, your husband will be slaughtered!
All of a sudden, everyone looked different, some were nervous, some were pale, some were happy, and some were watching from the sidelines.
The last one is said to be Jiang Sui.
He looked at the faces of the people below with great interest, and then looked up at Wei Xun.Similar to what he thought, Wei Xun said, showing his refusal, "Thank you for your kindness, but I am still young and have no daughters or sisters, so I'm afraid I won't be able to agree to this request."
Hearing the emperor's words, most people breathed a sigh of relief, only a few felt pity. They thought it was over, but unexpectedly, the second prince laughed loudly and blurted out: "It's okay, it's okay, it's fine if you're not a woman!"
Jiang Sui spat out the wine and almost choked to death.
Fortunately, what the second prince said just now was too shocking. No one noticed what the regent did. He looked at the second prince in surprise, and even forgot to wipe off the wine stains on his front.
Not only Jiang Sui and the other ministers, but even Wei Xun, who was the most favored and humble, was shocked. He blinked his eyes slowly twice, and then asked: "I didn't hear clearly just now, tell me, it's okay if it's not anything?"
"Woman," the second prince explained earnestly, "we worship the sun all day long, and think that men are the heirs of the sun left on the land. Our country has always had the custom of marrying a male wife. Only when the male wife stays at home can the clan be harmonious. So, it doesn't matter if you are not a princess." , Your lord, we can also accept it."
……
You can accept it, but it doesn't mean we can accept it!
Barbaric, so barbaric!As expected of a country that worships the sun, the mind is full of sun, and even men are not spared, and even men from other countries are not spared!
The ministers were full of roars in their hearts, but their expressions were more hollow than the next. There was no way, the second prince said it was too natural, and they couldn't think of how to refute him.
No voice of objection was heard, the second prince was even more calm. During the period, he turned his head and grinned at Jiang Sui who was already stunned, revealing a few white teeth
Jiang Sui's body froze, and a gust of cold air rushed from under the seat to the top of his head.
