Chapter 48 The Protagonist
The marriage was settled just like that. After the second prince heard Wei Xun's request, he agreed to it alone without discussing with his country's team of envoys.
It should be so, although they put on an open and democratic attitude, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that only the prince can embrace the beauty in this marriage.
Who doesn't want to be queen.
The candidates for marriage have been discussed, the two countries communicated with each other, and Suri began to prepare for the return journey. When they go back, they will also bring back the princess with them. The Wei Dynasty has to work overtime. The princess's dowry is all ready.
A wedding made the entire six departments busy, and even the most leisurely military department was not spared. They selected and trained [-] elite soldiers overnight to escort the princess to Suri.
Taking advantage of this lack of manpower, Zuo Zhiqiu was not sent down, but entered the Ministry of Rites to prepare the dowry with the ministers.
Most of the things are ready-made, and a small part needs to be made on the spot. From the order of marriage to the departure of the Suri team, it took only half a month. The power of the people is infinite. In half a month, they not only put All the tasks arranged by Wei Xun have been completed, and they have even been overfulfilled. Now Yongshan has two sets of wedding dresses, one formal and one spare, just in case of emergencies.
His Majesty was merciful and personally retained the envoys for the past day, so that Princess Niangshan could spend the last Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital.
The national teacher calculated that the eighteenth day of the eighth month is an auspicious day for marriage and long-distance travel. On the seventeenth day, another night banquet was held in the palace for the second prince and others to practice.
Jiang Sui ran away again halfway, and sat in the hexagonal pavilion above the koi pond in the imperial garden. Jiang Sui was holding a bowl of fish food in his hand, and after a while, he would throw a few grains into the water.
There are too many fish to eat, and the plump koi are crowded around, and some impatient ones even jumped out of the water.
The layout of the koi pond has been carefully designed, and the stone lamps beside the pond are well arranged, so that people can see the situation in the clear water even at night. Without the ladies in the harem, the imperial garden is really not ordinary tranquility, and there is no falling well again Not to mention Shen Tang and other accidents, the loss rate of court ladies and eunuchs has also been greatly reduced.
From a long distance, Jiang Sui saw a few palace lanterns coming towards him. When he got closer, he found that it was the second prince. He couldn't help pinching his forehead with a headache.
Mo Yu had already returned to Jiang Sui's side, and she didn't know what kind of punishment she had experienced. Her lips paled a lot, but her spirit was fine. Just looking at the surface, it was impossible to tell where she was injured.
Seeing the second prince, Mo Yu's reaction was even greater than Jiang Sui's. She rushed to Jiang Sui's side and said eagerly, "Your Majesty, this servant has gone to help you take care of him."
Jiang Sui: "..."
Why do you still use the word cooking? It sounds so creepy.
"That's all," Jiang Sui put down the fish food and sighed, "Let them come over, the left and right will leave tomorrow."
This year's weather is colder than usual. The night in mid-August is already very cold. Jiang Sui is fine, but he is wearing a thick dress. Come over and tease Jiang Sui a few words.
From the beginning, Jiang Sui avoided it, but now, it has become a turmoil.
After the second prince said a few words, he slumped his shoulders as if giving up, "Oh, I thought I could impress you, the men of the Wei Dynasty are really hard to coax."
Jiang Sui raised his eyebrows slightly, "True feelings cannot move this king, let alone false feelings."
The second prince was sitting next to Jiang Sui with a strong horse, and he looked over in surprise, "What did you say?"
Jiang Sui smiled, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince has already heard what I said, why should I repeat it again?"
The heat in the eyes of the second prince dropped a bit, "I never tell lies."
Jiang Sui chuckled, and nodded cooperatively, "Coincidentally, so is this king."
Second Prince: "..."
He had a feeling that he was being ridiculed secretly, Jiang Sui half turned around, and sat with the second prince face to face, he straightened his sleeves, and said slowly: "However, what your highness said is not bad, since Come to my court, His Highness did not say a single lie, but did some actions and words that would lead to misunderstanding."
Everyone can see that the second prince has intentions for the regent, but the second prince has never said that he likes the regent, let alone what he wants to do to the regent. He just lobbied the regent again and again, hoping that he can Go to the sun.
Rather than saying that he is courting, it is better to say that he is deepening the impression in other people's minds.
The second prince looked at the regent for a moment, Xu Feng suddenly rose, and suddenly, the second prince grinned, "The prince has good eyesight."
Jiang Sui just smiled and said nothing.
When we met for the first time, Jiang Sui's appearance really surprised the second prince, but he was born as a prince, and he has seen countless beauties since he was a child. Even if Jiang Sui could rank first in his heart, it would not be love at first sight. real reason.
Growing up in the court, what he cared the least about was the skin on top of his flesh and blood.
This is the second prince's first visit to the Wei Dynasty, and it may also be his last visit to the Wei Dynasty.
Facing the person who is likely to never see him again for the rest of his life, the second prince rarely relaxed. He said in the extremely fluent Wei Dynasty language: "You can see that I am not surprised, but I don't understand why you Speak up."
"Because there are some things that can only be discussed with the heart and soul, otherwise, His Highness will probably continue to pretend to be stupid with me."
...well, he's right.
The second prince became interested, "Then what do you want to tell me?"
With his right hand resting on the wooden railing, Jiang Sui closed his eyes halfway, "I am from the Wei Dynasty. Although I know a little about Su Ri, I still don't know much about it. I have no way of knowing what the royal family is like. Therefore, I want to ask Your Highness to take good care of our Princess Niangshan."
The second prince couldn't help groaning in his heart, if Jiang Sui hadn't pulled off his mask, he would definitely play dumb with Jiang Sui after hearing these few words.That princess will be their crown prince after she gets married. As an adult prince, he will take care of the majestic crown prince if he has nothing to do. Does he want to die?
Didn't the ministers of the Wei Dynasty always wonder why he dared to continue to die under the eyes of the emperor Wei Xun? It was because he had already received immunity from his eldest brother, the prince. , wilting bad, strong sense of territory.Years of dancing with wolves has greatly tempered his will, but that doesn't mean he dares to reach out to his elder brother's harem!
The second prince chuckled, "My lord is making things difficult for others."
With a very short sentence, Jiang Sui immediately understood what he meant, he was silent, and explained: "This king is not asking His Highness to take care of her life, but, as time goes on, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the princess will always meet some people. As for the difficulties that I cannot solve by myself, as long as His Highness pretends to be ignorant and pulls her in the dark like in the past, this king and the people of the Wei Dynasty will be grateful to His Highness."
The second prince also has older sisters, and he judges others by himself, so he can naturally understand Jiang Sui's intentions, and his heart is a little moved. He said with his arms across his chest: "As far as I know, the prince and the princess are not related by kinship. I'm afraid they are better than her own elder brother."
Jiang Sui raised his eyes silently, don't think he couldn't hear it, the second prince is a perverted one.
"Her elder brother thinks so too." Jiang Sui made up for his Majesty.
The second prince shook his legs, "Yes, then why didn't I hear him come to tell me these words."
Jiang Sui blinked, "Otherwise, Your Highness thinks, how did you come here to meet me today after going through so many guards?"
Second Prince: "..."
Inexplicably, the second prince had the illusion that he was being shown.
There is no harm in making friends with Jiang Sui, besides, what Jiang Sui asked him to do was not a big deal, it was just a matter of little effort, a helpless and weak woman traveled thousands of miles to marry their country, out of sympathy, he would not abandon her.
What's more, if there is no accident, this woman will be their mother of the country in the future. As long as he has a good relationship with the mother of the country within the tolerance of his elder brother, it will definitely be a good thing with all benefits and no harm.
Quickly analyzing the pros and cons, the second prince readily agreed that there is no need to act anymore, and the second prince naturally does not need to stay here, but before leaving, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked: "Are you How can you tell that I don't really like you?"
He felt that he acted quite well. Didn't the ministers of the Wei Dynasty and the ministers he brought believe it?
Hearing this, Jiang Sui stretched out his index finger and nodded his head, "I have a radar."
The second prince didn't understand, "What is radar?"
Jiang Sui smiled, "It's an indescribable thing, similar to intuition. I can understand how sincere others are in my pursuit, and I can understand it just by looking at it."
Having increased his knowledge, there is actually such an operation, the second prince also laughed, "It is also a kind of talent, and can immediately push away those people with ulterior motives around him."
Jiang Sui twitched the corner of his mouth and said nothing. The second prince thought he was acquiescing, but in fact, he retorted silently in his heart.
Quite the opposite.
Those who treat him sincerely and want to be with him are the ones he needs to reject. Those who have ulterior motives can be hypocritical for a while and use each other.
Just like the difference between Yongshan and the second prince, the next second he knew that Niongshan liked him, he stopped thinking about him. On the contrary, the second prince kept it until today, until there was a new use value. Talk everything out.
The second prince left, and he sat for a while longer. He shook the fish food that fell from his body, and stood up.
It's time to go back, I have to get up early tomorrow.
On August [-]th, the sky was clear and clear, and the blue sky was bright and clear. It was a rare good weather.
Wei Xun came to the gate of the palace in person, and watched the procession of seeing off his relatives continue to travel far away, the small sedan chair that Niong Shan was sitting in was stable, and everyone watched it gradually shrinking, each with different emotions.
This is an ancient and long era, how many people will never see each other again after one farewell.
Therefore, when you can grasp it, you must firmly grasp it.
Wei Xun didn't prepare to go back until the last soldier disappeared, but Jiang Sui didn't accompany him. He asked Wei Xun for leave, saying that he was going out to have a drink with Gu Fengxian.
Wei Xun looked at the top of his head, this time he didn't say whether he could take my humble and cheap words, he quickly agreed, but before leaving, he added: "Drink as you drink, don't drink." The drinking is too lively, I have been negligent in managing the security of the capital recently, maybe someday I will send the Habayashi Army to patrol the city again."
Jiang Sui: "..."
Pretending not to understand Wei Xun's threats, he smiled dryly, "Understood, I'm not going anywhere except the emperor Wangyuan."
Wei Xun left satisfied, and after Jiang Sui watched him leave, he went out of the palace gate, turned around, and went in the opposite direction from Tianzi Wangyuan.
Very arrogant.
……
The wedding procession left early in the morning, and now it's only a quarter of an hour, when people are most energetic during the day, but the door of the Princess's Mansion is closed, from the inside to the outside, even the stone lion at the door, reveals a It means bleak.
But leaving a brewing goodness is like losing all the popularity in Fuchu.
Jiang Sui was brought in. The eldest princess didn't want to see him at first, but she changed her mind temporarily and walked to the front hall. The eldest princess looked at Jiang Sui seriously, and said mockingly: "The prince is finally not busy."
She didn't go to see off her relatives today, she shut herself in the room after sending Niang Shan out of the house, she looks very haggard now, she doesn't have the graceful and luxurious appearance before.
Jiang Sui smiled slightly, he didn't need anyone else to invite him, he just found a seat and sat down, straight to the point and said: "You are not joking, since the decree has been issued, it cannot be changed, this king is helpless, whether I see the eldest princess or not, This marriage is to be completed."
The eldest princess was in a bad mood, but Jiang Sui still had a dignified appearance. What she hated the most was that people said "helpless" to her. She had no choice but to marry her to Dongliu to be the concubine of a man in his 40s. It is helpless, it is helpless to be a spy between the two countries after marriage, it is helpless to be calculated and excluded by other women in the harem, and it is helpless to be asked to be buried after the husband dies.
Her first husband didn't die suddenly. Long before he was assassinated, she had discovered the clues, but when she passed the news back to her home country, she got the order to watch the fire from the other side. If Emperor Dongliu died, So she acted like a chaste and martyr, and committed suicide here, causing chaos in the entire palace, buying time for her subordinates to bring their things and return to the country quickly.
This is the order her brother gave her, treating her as an abandoned child, and brazenly asking her to give up her life.
She narrowly escaped death and deceived countless people before she finally fled back to her home country. The world only knew that she needed to beware of people from Dongliu when she fled, but they didn't know that she didn't even dare to trust people from the Wei Dynasty.
When all the dust settled and the old emperor couldn't change anything, her life was finally taken back.
This is the fate of the current princess, and now her daughter is also a princess.
There was hatred in the eyes of the eldest princess, she stared at Jiang Sui closely, "Shan'er is so infatuated with you, but you are so ruthless to her, there are so many candidates, why do you have to choose Shan'er, is it because she likes her?" You, and you don't like her, that's why you pushed her into the pit of fire!"
Jiang Sui frowned, "I chose the princess only because the princess is the best choice."
"For you, she is the best choice..." The eldest princess's voice suddenly rose, and it was a bit sharp, "What about her! Have you ever given her a choice?! I thought you were different, but actually you and Like all of them, they are demons who eat people without spitting out their bones!"
Jiang Sui quietly looked at the princess who was in a fit, his expression was so calm that it made the princess more and more angry, because in contrast, she was like a crazy woman, who could only curse and clamor.
Before the eldest princess's sanity was on the verge of shattering, Jiang Sui said, "When did I say that I am different."
The eldest princess' voice stopped abruptly.
He stood up and looked at the eldest princess at the same level, "Under the same mud, no one can make a lotus flower that is not stained by the mud. It can only rot from the inside to the outside under the soaking water, and finally it will be full of rancid smell. assimilation of silt."
"I am like this, Eldest Princess, isn't it the same?"
The eldest princess seemed to have been poked into a sore spot, she immediately shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Jiang Sui didn't want to break up with her on this issue. A person who has lived for nearly 40 years, his thinking has long been solidified. Jiang Sui can't break her thinking, and he doesn't want to break it. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the rest of my life.
Jiang Sui lowered his eyes to avoid conflict with her. He was silent for a while before saying: "The fate of people is different. Some people are bitter and some are sweet. Even if they have the same starting point and the same path, the final ending is not always the same. Same, your elder brother and your nephew are both emperors, but would you say that they are the same?"
Lifting his eyelids, Jiang Sui slowly said: "Your life may be ruined by others, but the good life has just begun. I can't guarantee what will happen in the future. At least I can say for myself and Wei Xun that this is The first time and the last time."
With a sneer, the eldest princess' tone was full of extreme contempt, "What do you know, your life is so wonderful, you are the regent at the age of 16, and the emperor has been a doll in your hands since childhood, you can put him in various The way you want, but how do you know what it feels like to live as a doll in the hands of others!"
Her tone was too excited, her chest heaved greatly, and after a moment's delay, she looked at Jiang Sui with poisonous cold eyes, and said word by word, as if cursing: "Do you think you can control him for the rest of your life? The prince will always be the prince, the emperor will always be the emperor, the protagonist of the puppet show can be changed at any time, but the position in the court is fixed."
Suddenly, the eldest princess laughed sinisterly, her voice was weird and gentle, "Maybe one day, my lord, you will become the protagonist of the next scene, and you don't know it, it's ridiculous Playing with your stiff body."
The author has something to say: Wei Xun: (furious) I will kill your whole family!Shut up the fuck!You finally closed a seam that was finally opened!If I don't kill you today, you won't know what is evil in society! !
Qin Wangshan: (sweating profusely and dragging his hind legs) Forget it, your majesty
