Taifu Wu was sitting on the seat of Dayong's ministers, feeling mixed in his heart, feeling both happy and a little regretful.
Fortunately, Dongyou asked to marry Yun Zishu at this time, which saved the Wu family from an unhappy incident. Unfortunately, he regretted offending Yun Zishu so early, which did no good to the Wu family.
If they had known that Dongyou wanted to marry Yun Zishu, they would never have made an enemy of her. Anyway, the princess of Dayong would have to leave sooner or later. What could they do to embarrass her?
During the banquet, the envoys spoke all kinds of compliments, but they only praised Yun Zishu as a peerless woman in the world. It was Dongyou's blessing that Prince Dongyou could marry her, and so on.
Yun Zishu had a slight smile on her face and sat calmly on her seat, which made people feel that she was even more extraordinary.
Therefore, the courtiers of Dayong were shocked to discover today that the princess was indeed very magnanimous, and she was not surprised by favors or humiliations. Faced with such a big matter as a marriage, she was neither surprised nor happy, nor uneasy. She was as calm as if she was facing something that had nothing to do with her.
, which is somewhat surprising.
Even Feng Shoufu couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
He understood Yun Zishu's thoughts. If she married the Crown Prince of Dongyou and became the Crown Princess of Dongyou, would Yun Zishu follow him to live in Dongyou?
Will everything she planned in Dayong come to nothing?
"In addition to the prince's request to marry the direct princess, this time Dongyou also brought another sincerity." Situ Lingyi said calmly, "Princess Dayong traveled thousands of miles to marry Dongyou, the emperor will definitely be a little reluctant to let go of Dongyou.
My emperor will marry a daughter to Dayong to show our fairness."
After saying this, a young woman stood up during the dinner and walked to the middle of the hall. She bowed respectfully and said, "My maid, Dong Ling Xue, may you wish to see my emperor live forever."
The woman is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a delicate appearance and a graceful figure. Although she is wearing a red dress, it is not a wedding dress, but it also represents some kind of joy.
The emperor was surprised: "What the uncle means is..."
"This is Princess Dongyou Fuqing." Situ Lingyi said humbly, "My emperor intends to promote the friendship between the two countries, so he reluctantly married the princess to the emperor as his concubine. I hope the emperor can treat her well."
When the courtiers of Dayong heard these words, they couldn't help but be surprised again.
They were really puzzled. If Dongyou was sincere in repairing the relationship with Dayong, why did the border gate suddenly increase by 150,000 troops, causing Dayong to rush over and deliver an urgent message six hundred miles away, causing panic among the emperor and his ministers?
If they have ulterior motives, this is about marrying a princess and marrying a princess. I don’t know which song it is from? Is it to numb them and make them relax their guard?
Yun Zishu was sitting in the banquet, not caring about the expressions of the ministers. Her eyes glanced across Yun Chen's face. After more than twenty days of rest, Yun Chen's injuries had improved greatly, but his complexion was pale.
, he still looks a little mentally depressed.
"In that case," Emperor Zhaoming looked at the kneeling woman in the palace, his expression obviously good, "Let's make Xue'er a virtuous concubine."
Situ Xue kowtowed: "I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for his grace."
Yun Zishu lowered her eyes and mocked, Concubine De was one of the four concubines, second only to Concubine Shu. Concubine Wu in the harem was demoted, and Concubine Shu was now the most respected one. Concubine Wu had not yet regained her position, so another Concubine De came...
…
"Today the two countries are very happy, I am very happy. With today's happiness, I have restored my status as a noble concubine and still have the power to control the harem." The emperor immediately and decisively issued an edict, "Yang Xi, I will send the imperial concubine's treasure book to you later."
Some rewards to comfort the noble concubine."
Yang Xi respectfully responded: "I obey the order."
The emperor turned to look at the new concubine in the main hall: "Concubine De, you will go and give the concubine a gift later. The sisters must live in harmony from now on."
"I, my concubine, obey your decree."
"My harem now has three concubines, the concubine Shu and the concubine De, and one more virtuous concubine is missing." Emperor Zhaoming muttered, "Since the status of noble concubine has been restored, let's just show another favor and promote Concubine Ming as a virtuous concubine.
Bar."
During the dinner, King Jing immediately stood up, walked to the main hall and knelt down: "I would like to express my gratitude to my mother and concubine. Thank you very much for your father's grace."
The envoys of Dongyou were not interested in the emperor dividing his harem, as long as they could complete the marriage process between the two countries, it was enough for them.
Moreover, Concubine De's status is already quite high. For a foreign woman, it is impossible for her to be the queen as soon as she comes up.
Dong Lingxue is young, similar to Yun Zishu, and it is impossible for the emperor to leave so many local concubines in the harem and let a teenage girl take charge of the family.
Yun Zishu raised her eyes slightly and looked at the woman kneeling in the main hall. The woman happened to raise her head and her eyes met. Yun Zishu saw hostility in the other woman's eyes.
Deep hostility.
Yun Zishu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. How could there be hostility between two people who were strangers to each other?
In the subsequent palace banquet, the ministers of the two countries complimented each other, and they drank and drank to build the future friendly relations between the two countries. The courtiers of Dayong were full of sincerity, and the envoys of Dongyou were kind. It looked like a harmonious scene.
Except for Dong Lingxue, who was hostile to Yun Zishu just after she was made a concubine - or it should be said that she might have come here with hostility towards her.
"Your Highness the Princess." Dong Lingxue raised her gaze slightly, "You and I are both princesses, and we have exchanged marriages. I wonder if we can talk alone?"
Yun Zishu nodded: "Of course you can."
"Xue'er is right. You two are princesses and are of the same age. You should have a lot to talk about." The emperor smiled gently and lovingly. "Let's go to the imperial garden for a walk. The environment there is good, so the princesses who have come from afar can enjoy it."
It can relax your mind.”
Yun Zishu nodded.
The ministers also looked pleased. If the two princesses Dayong and Dongyou could have friendly exchanges, it would also be beneficial to enhancing the relations between the two countries.
"The princess has come a long way, Zishu, you must entertain her well." Emperor Zhaoming asked, "Don't neglect your distinguished guest."
Zishu said: "Yes, Father."
The two princesses stood up and left together, followed by the maids with lowered eyebrows and eyes.
Arriving at the Imperial Garden, Dong Lingxue changed her gentle image in the hall and said in a lukewarm tone: "The situation of the princess in Dayong must not be good."
Yun Zishu was walking on the corridor of the imperial garden. When she heard this, she smiled casually: "Maybe outsiders think that I am in a bad situation, but I don't feel this way myself."
She really felt that her situation was not bad. Although she was not favored by the emperor, all those who made things difficult for her only made things difficult for themselves. Yun Zishu was indifferent to the hostility, and even subdued a few useful people.
With the protection of the Feng family, the current situation is indeed much better than when we were single and weak.
The most important thing is that there is always a strong and unparalleled man by her side who loyally protects him and treats him with heart. She doesn't think there is anything unsatisfactory.
"Prince Dongyou is the queen's son living abroad. Because the prince desperately wants to marry the princess, the queen temporarily agreed." Dong Lingxue's tone was cold, with a hint of evil in her voice. "After the prince ascends the throne, it is impossible for the prince to be the only one in the backyard.
It is impossible for a concubine to make a foreign princess his queen."
Yun Zishu's expression softened slightly and her voice became a little softer: "So?"
"I just hope that the princess knows something in her mind." Dong Lingxue said calmly, "You can completely refuse this marriage."
