Chapter 956 : As a royal princess, what reason do you have to refuse?
The sugar baby did not go to the cold palace in the end.
Instead, he walked and arrived at the Ci'an Palace of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was naturally very happy when she saw the sugar baby coming.
"The Ai family will definitely come here when they know you have entered the palace." The Empress Dowager said with a loving look on her face: "So, I had someone prepare some delicious food for you early in the morning."
After saying that, he ordered Nanny Chen to bring the cakes, fruits and other things up quickly.
The sugar baby sat on the little stool at the feet of the Queen Mother, hugged the Queen Mother's legs, and said with a smile: "Grandma still loves me the most."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she touched the sugar baby's head lovingly.
How could she not love such a sweet little girl?
But Tangbao explained: "Originally I wanted to come over earlier to pay my respects to my grandmother, but the emperor's uncle made a decree for me to have a banquet at Concubine Shu's place, so I came late. Please don't blame my grandmother."
Naturally, the Queen Mother also caught wind of the uproar that had spread in the palace.
Especially, regarding the two decrees issued by the emperor.
Thinking of the first decree, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Therefore, after listening to Tangbao's words, he said with a smile: "Grandma naturally won't blame you. If you want to enter the harem in the future, just come. I'm afraid it will take a few days to finish visiting the harem."
As soon as Tangbao heard what the Queen Mother said, he understood that the Queen Mother might have noticed something.
I couldn't help but feel that the pressure on my shoulders was getting heavier.
How about... let the money rat out by yourself?
Tangbao talked to the Queen Mother for a while and ate something. Seeing that Princess Hua Ning never showed up, she couldn't help but ask: "Grandma, where is Sister Ning? Isn't she here?"
Princess Hua Ning lives in the side hall. Since she is here, it is impossible for Princess Hua Ning not to know about it.
After listening to Tang Bao's words, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "Your sister Ning is not feeling well these days. Go and see her."
The sugar baby was shocked.
"Sister Ning is sick? Have you seen the imperial doctor?" Tangbao asked anxiously.
"I have already seen the imperial doctor and prescribed medicine." The Queen Mother said, "It's just..."
When the Queen Mother said this, she paused and then said: "Forget it, you and her have always got along, go and untie her."
Sugar Baby: "...Yes."
Looking at the Queen Mother, a bad premonition suddenly arose in my heart.
Tangbao hurried to the side hall.
Sure enough, I smelled a medicinal smell as soon as I entered.
Princess Hua Ning was lying on the Babu bed with a sickly look on her face.
In just a few days, my whole person seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
The sugar baby felt heartbroken when he saw it.
If my fifth brother saw this, wouldn't he be heartbroken?
"Sister Ning." Tangbao walked over quickly.
"Sister Fuya." Princess Hua Ning's eyes lit up when she saw Tangbao.
Then, it dimmed again.
The sugar baby's heart was falling straight down.
"Sister Ning is so ill, why didn't you send someone to tell me?" Tangbao said worriedly.
Princess Hua Ning forced a smile and said in a weak voice: "I'm fine, I just got some wind and cold. Sister Fuya, don't worry."
Hearing this, Tangbao said nothing, sat directly by the bed, took Princess Hua Ning's wrist, and began to diagnose Princess Hua Ning's pulse.
After a moment, he put down his hand.
Then, looking at Princess Hua Ning, she said seriously: "Sister Ning is too worried. If my brother hadn't come to Beijing, I would have thought that Sister Ning was lovesick."
Princess Hua Ning's originally pale and weak face suddenly became flushed.
Soon, it disappeared completely, but the eye circles were red.
As soon as the sugar baby saw her, she felt confident.
It seems that Sister Ning's illness is related to her brother.
To be precise, it has something to do with marriage.
That's right, when she reaches Sister Ning's age, she is actually considered an old girl in ordinary people's homes.
If it weren't for the red spots on her face, she would be married and have children by now.
"If Sister Ning has something on your mind, why don't you tell me." Tangbao said, "Let's find a solution together. Otherwise, if my brother finds out that Sister Ning is sick, he will be extremely worried and the scientific examination will be affected.
"
When Princess Hua Ning heard this, she immediately became anxious and couldn't help coughing.
"Sister Fuya... cough cough cough... you promise me that no matter what... cough cough cough... you can't tell your brother..."
Princess Hua Ning was anxious and coughing, and her face turned red from suppressing it.
Tangbao quickly patted Princess Hua Ning on the back.
"Sister Ning, don't worry, I promise you, I won't tell my brother." Tangbao promised.
Then, he took out a bottle of loquat paste and asked Princess Huaning to take a few sips.
Princess Hua Ning finally stopped coughing and looked at the sugar baby with tears falling.
"Sister Fuya, I may not be able to be your sister-in-law..." Princess Hua Ning choked and said.
"Why did Sister Ning say that?" Tangbao frowned, "Does the Emperor's uncle disagree? The Emperor's uncle thinks that my brother is not worthy of the royal princess?"
At the end of the sentence, the sugar baby showed a trace of anger on his face.
Humph! If that were the case, she would definitely not help the emperor look for things anymore.
Just like what my little brother said, even if that thing comes to you on its own initiative, you will pretend not to see it.
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Princess Hua Ning quickly shook her head and said, "Father doesn't know what happened between me and your brother."
"That……"
"Western Qin intends to marry and form an alliance with Dayan to jointly deal with Northern Qi." Princess Hua Ning said with some difficulty.
Sugar baby: "..."
What a bloody plot!
Do you dare to try something fresh?!
"Then, your father sold you?" Tangbao said.
Princess Hua Ning: "..."
This is too straightforward.
"Sister Fuya, you can't say that. My father also has his difficulties. Besides, marriage between the two countries has been going on since ancient times." Princess Hua Ning said with despair: "In order to protect the peace at the border and prevent the people from suffering from the war,
Bitter, as a royal princess, I have an unshirkable responsibility..."
Tangbao shook his head and said confidently: "Xi Qin wants to marry, why don't you send a princess to our Dayan?"
When the time comes, just seal a position and throw it into the harem, how easy it is!
Anyway, the sugar baby feels that those ladies will not mind if there are multiple women in the harem.
Especially when thinking about the attitude of Concubine Shu and others towards the emperor, Tangbao felt that his thoughts were well founded.
After hearing Tangbao's words, Princess Hua Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Western Qin promised to be the vanguard to attack Northern Qi, and Dayan's generals can only provide assistance from behind."
Sugar baby understands.
In other words, the army of Western Qin fought with Northern Qi in the front and fought hard, while Dayan just picked up the slack behind.
In this way, the soldiers of Western Qin and Northern Qi were lost, while Dayan retained its strength.
After the war, the power of Western Qin and Northern Qi will be greatly weakened.
For Dayan, it was a piece of cake falling from the sky.
It's just that such a good thing must be exchanged for the happiness of a princess.
"Sister Fuya, if I alone can exchange the lives of countless soldiers of Dayan and the stable lives of the people on the border, as a royal princess, what reason do I have to refuse?" Princess Hua Ning said with a bitter look on her face.
After enjoying the glory brought to her by the royal family, she should shoulder her own responsibilities at the critical moment.
