On this day in the palace, there was supposed to be a joyful banquet, but Xie Xun fell into an extremely angry mood because of Charles's repeated temptations.
However, Prince Charles of this rogue country had a character as sharp as a knife. When he saw that Xie Xun was angry, although he was a little frightened in his heart, he still had a smile on his face.
He toasted Xie Xun with a glass of wine and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. It seems that I didn't understand your feelings clearly. Your Majesty is indeed deeply passionate about the Princess. I am being arrogant. Please don't blame me."
After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one go. After finishing the glass, he drank two more glasses, thus punishing himself for three glasses of wine.
And he was like this, drinking to apologize before Xie Xun could get angry. Of course, Xie Xun had nowhere to vent his anger, and his face became very ugly.
In the following time, the atmosphere at the dinner table became much colder, and Xie Xun even looked at Xia Ke and sneered again and again.
He originally thought that the gangsters were here to show their good will, but now that he thought about it, they had some agenda.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have held a banquet for him today!
The meal ended with Xie Xun's cold face.
After Xia Erke left, Qin Rushuang patted the back of Xie Xun's hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really angry? There will definitely be many more things like this in the future. Your Majesty must get used to it as soon as possible."
Xie Xun said with a cold face, "I understand all these principles, but I'm just so angry with him! I have already said that I only like you, but he still acts like I will definitely change my mind in the future. Obviously he is
It's a very important matter, but he behaves like someone who has experienced it before. I can't help but think that the courtiers in the court are like this too! It seems that every one of them is sure that I will fail you in the future!"
After he finished speaking, he looked up at Qin Rushuang: "No one believes that as an emperor, I will only be loyal to you for the rest of my life. Do you believe it?"
At this time, Xie Xun was sitting and Qin Rushuang was standing.
Qin Rushuang suddenly took another step closer, stretched out her hands, held Xie Xun's face, and asked him to raise his head and look into her eyes.
She said firmly, "I didn't believe it before, but now I do."
After she finished speaking, she took her hand back.
But before she left, Xie Xun hugged her waist, rubbed his cheek against her body, and whispered, "I'm so angry! I can't lose my temper at him, and I can't really punish him.
!”
Qin Rushuang smiled and said, "It's good that the prince knows the rules. On the battlefield, there are rules between the two countries not to kill the envoys when fighting. What's more, the prince has not yet ascended the throne. This is a show of favor to me, Da Qi, from the prince of the rogue country.
Even if the prince is angry, he must put the overall situation first."
Xie Xun looked up and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you angry?"
Qin Rushuang smiled again and said, "What am I so angry about? I'm more curious about what that princess looks like. Speaking of which, when the late emperor was in power, there seemed to be no concubines from other countries in the harem?"
Xie Xun shook his head and said, "Actually, there are, but these people usually come for marriage with a purpose. My father was young and strong at the time, and he knew it very well. He knew that these people came with a purpose.
So they were not allowed to have children at all, and they were given very little favor. Slowly, they grew old and died, and by the time you and I got married, there would no longer be women in my father's harem who were married to neighboring countries."
Qin Rushuang nodded, seeing that Xie Xun was still a little unhappy because of Xia Ke's previous words, so she couldn't help but said: "If the prince is still angry, why not think of a way to deal with this rogue envoy."
Xie Xun actually tilted his head and started thinking.
Then, suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he said: "Since he is asking for a marriage for his sister, why don't I choose a good marriage for her?"
Qin Rushuang looked at him funny, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty...are you addicted to men's beauties these days? It's not enough for the young talents in Kyoto to be given to the daughters of ministers. Besides, after all,
She is a foreign woman, who knows if she is marrying a daughter-in-law or a craftsman?"
Xie Xun thought that this was also the case, so he had to give up and said fiercely, "Let him go this time! If he continues to mess around in the future, don't blame me for being rude!"
However, Xie Xun underestimated how thick-skinned Charles was.
When they went to court two days later, the civil and military officials didn't know where they got the news. They knew that the envoy from the rogue country had arrived, and they had brought the princess with them.
An official even asked Xie Xun how to arrange the princess who was sent to marry him? If Xie Xun liked it, would he start preparing for the canonization when he ascended the throne?
When Xie Xun heard this, his head felt heavy!
"You were not surprised to learn that the envoy came to the capital, but how did you learn that the king was going to marry that foreign woman?"
The courtiers looked at each other, and one of the old ministers came out and said: "That day, when the prince of the gangster country came back, he said that he had a very pleasant chat with you. You were also very interested in the princess and wanted to make friends. When I went out today, I heard that
People on the street are talking about it!"
Xie Xun felt the veins on his forehead throbbing and couldn't help but ask: "What are you talking about?"
The old minister coughed slightly in embarrassment and said: "Your Majesty, you have not admitted other women into the harem before, because... you have been at the border for a long time, and you don't like my Daqi women, but you like those on horseback from the neighboring countries.
woman……"
After Xie Xun heard this, he slapped Long An hard with a "bang" and frowned in anger.
"It's nonsense, it makes no sense! Who spread this news? And when did it spread? His rogue envoy has been in Kyoto for only two days, how come there are so many rumors?"
"Check it for me!"
Xie Xun was angry, and all the ministers were submissive and did not dare to speak.
After returning, Xie Xun told Qin Rushuang what happened in the court today.
Qin Rushuang didn't find it strange.
"Nine times out of ten, it was the prince of the gangster country who spread the news, hoping to force the prince to submit when the rumors spread. After all, the people of Daqi are relatively conservative. If it is really rumored that the prince and the prince are involved,
I don’t know about the princess, but the prince might really be forced to marry the princess."
"What they think is wonderful!"
Xie Xun was furious, and then felt a little aggrieved. He looked at Qin Rushuang and said, "Why aren't you angry at all? It feels like I am the only one worrying about this matter. Are you not afraid that I really..."
Qin Rushuang raised her eyebrows: "Can you do it?"
Xie Xun quickly shook his head: "No!"
Qin Rushuang raised her eyebrows again: "Do you dare?"
Xie Xun shook his head like a wave drum, "Don't dare! How dare I!"
Now Qin Rushuang smiled, "That's okay. I have confidence in my heart, so I don't panic at all."
Xie Xun suddenly took a step forward, hugged Qin Rushuang from behind, and asked in a low voice: "Then where did you get this confidence? Did I give it to you?"
Qin Rushuang nodded lightly.
Xie Xun asked happily: "Then...do I make you feel a little bit more trustworthy now?"
Qin Rushuang nodded again, then turned back and gently kissed Xie Xun's lips.
