Chunhe is His Majesty's favorite daughter and was raised by him personally, so although her temper is a bit perverse, she has a good temper, especially towards the people around her. As long as she recognizes that you are the person around her, she will
I will try my best to treat you well.
But now, in her opinion, Meng Duiwan is the person around her, so she cannot tolerate others saying that she is not good or good at all.
"This year, a lot of things happened in the palace. The seventh emperor brother is still missing. The queen mother also became very temperamental after she came back from the imperial mausoleum. On weekdays, she is either eating fasting and chanting Buddha, or copying Buddhist scriptures. There is no
Why don't you pay attention to me!" Chunhe sat there holding his cheek, his face full of sadness.
"I see that you seem worried. Did something happen?" Meng Duiwan looked at Chunhe for a long time, and then couldn't help but ask.
"Half a month ago, the foreign kingdoms came to pay tribute. The Hun prince asked my father to marry the princess. My father did not have many children. My elder sisters were all married. The only ones left were me and a few who were not of marriageable age.
She is a younger sister, so I will probably marry her!" Chunhe smiled bitterly.
"When did this happen? Why have I never heard of it?" Meng Duiwan looked surprised, "You are the princess, how could you..."
"Although I am a legitimate daughter of a princess, I have known since I was born that my marriage is probably not decided by myself. I was born at the top and am worshiped by thousands of people. Naturally, I have to do something for the people of the world.
"Chunhe lowered his eyes, making it difficult for people to see his or her emotions clearly.
"But our court has not had a marriage for many years. Our army is strong and there is no need to use a marriage to stabilize the country, so..."
"Oh, I'm just talking, don't take it too seriously Wanwan!" Chunhe looked up at Meng Duiwan with a smile.
Chunhe tried very hard to hide the fear in her eyes in her own way, but Meng Duiwan could still clearly see the fear deep in her heart.
Meng Duiwan reached out and held Chunhe in his hand: "Don't worry too much. Even if we really have to get married, it may not be you. What's more, our government spends so much energy and financial resources on hoarding troops, not just to prevent women from serving in government affairs."
As for the sacrifice, we have to believe in the strength of our court, right?"
Meng spoke softly to Wan, but her voice was full of determination. Chunhe looked at her for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, I understand!"
Meng Duiwan didn't know whether Chunhe really believed in her and the court, or whether she was just comforting herself in her own way, but later he didn't see the slightest sadness in her eyes. It was just because of this matter that he was
Meng Duiwan kept it in mind.
During the dinner, Chunhe, as a legitimate princess, wanted to be with the queen, while Meng Duiwan went back to find Mrs. Meng.
Madam Meng saw her solemn expression and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like something big has happened?"
"It's nothing, I just talked to Princess Chunhe for a while!" Meng smiled at Wan, but she couldn't see how pale her smile was.
Mrs. Meng was the most nervous about her lost daughter, so she quickly took her hand: "Since you call me mother, you should understand that even if the sky falls, I, the mother, will be there to bear the burden for you. You
If you encounter something that is difficult for you, you should tell me, your mother, although I am not a very powerful person, but I have lived for so many years and encountered many things, maybe you can tell me,
What can I really do?"
"It's nothing. I just heard from Chunhe that she is very likely to get married..." Meng Duiwan lowered his head, "I'm a little scared. Since I came to the capital, I can't talk to anyone.
Only Princess Chunhe, the Huns are in misery, how miserable must it be for a princess like her to go to such a place with such a noble and noble family!"
Mrs. Meng was stunned: "How come I haven't heard of marriage? Your father will definitely know about such a big thing, but I have never heard your father mention it from the beginning to the end. Could it be Princess Chunhe herself?
Misheard?"
"Probably not. It is said that when the Hun prince paid tribute, he specifically asked His Majesty to talk about this matter. However, it probably hasn't been brought to the table yet, so father and the others don't know yet!" Meng told Wan in a low voice.
Mrs. Meng held Meng Duiwan's hand and said, "Princess Chunhe is a legitimate princess and your Majesty's favorite princess. Now that our army is strong, there is no need for a marriage to stabilize the country, let alone Princess Chunhe.
Your Majesty is naturally reluctant to part with it, so you don’t have to worry too much. I think this matter was probably rejected directly by His Majesty."
Although she said that, Meng Duiwan always felt a little uneasy. She always felt that something was going to happen at the dinner party tonight.
At this moment, they still have to go to the dinner party first. No matter what they have to do, they have to wait until the dinner party is over before talking about it.
The banquet was surprisingly lively. In the end, all the officials who could be named had arrived. The banquet hall was full. When the emperor and queen arrived, everyone stood up and the hall became even more chaotic.
Meng Duiwan sat next to Mrs. Meng. Before entering the palace, she temporarily learned the rules of the palace. Because she was not very skilled in doing them, she followed the principle of talking less and doing less, and just stayed here obediently.
Already.
This could be regarded as a state banquet. It was obviously just a New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, but everyone was sitting upright, and even the emperor didn't have much of a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty is deeply saddened by the loss of the seventh prince, which makes this dinner party even more solemn." Someone said softly on the table not far away.
Others may think that the emperor looks sad, but they know that the person sent to assassinate the seventh prince is actually His Majesty.
The emperor didn't like to say too many eloquent words, so he just said a few words and asked everyone to sit down and eat. Everyone was happy and at ease. It didn't take long before everyone started talking to the people around them amid the singing and dancing.
chat.
Meng Duiwan felt a little bored when he saw all these hypocritical people mingling in front of him, so he said something to Mrs. Meng and went out for a walk.
I just didn't expect that besides him, there were several people outside the banquet hall.
When Meng Duiwan was about to go back, she heard someone mention her name. Almost subconsciously, she stopped.
"Meng Duiwan was asked by name to get married? Why?"
"Who knows? He has just returned to the capital. The Huns heard it from somewhere, saying that she was both civil and military and wanted to marry her as the princess. My father has now rejected it, but there is no guarantee that they will mention this at the banquet.
Something!”
"If they really bring up this matter at the banquet, in front of so many small countries, and what they are asking for is just the daughter of a marquis, not His Majesty's daughter, Your Majesty will probably be unable to shirk it..."
"The Yongchang Marquis Mansion has just found this daughter. If something happens at this time, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion will refuse to do anything!"
Meng Duiwan walked forward slowly: "Are you talking about me?"
Xie Chengyin turned around sharply. When he saw Meng Duiwan, his face was full of shock: "Why are you here?"
"I didn't really like the scene of people drinking and drinking inside, so I came out to relax. I heard you guys talking from a distance, so I came over to take a look!" Meng Duiwan looked at Xie Chengyin and He Zhiyan opposite and said softly.
Xie Chengyin's face looked a little ugly, but he still said: "You heard it just now. The thing is like this now. We are now thinking of ways to stop him from talking nonsense..."
"Is the person you are talking about someone we cannot afford to offend?" Meng Duiwan looked at Xie Chengyin and couldn't help but ask.
"The prince of the Huns is not someone who cannot afford to offend, but there is no need to offend him." Xie Chengyin said softly.
"That's it..."
"Do you have any ideas?" Xie Chengyin's eyes lit up.
"My aunt said that the way to shut up a person is to make him lose the ability to speak, temporarily or permanently." Meng Duiwan looked at Xie Chengyin and said softly, "That is, you can either knock him out or kill him.
