dream of red mansion

Chapter 694

"Father~~"

Princess Xingyue ran into the Xiyuan Emperor's dormitory unhindered, stood at the door and waited for a while, and waited for the tears that had been dried by the wind to hang up on her face again before running in.

Seeing the Supreme Emperor who was playing chess with Wu Dequan, Princess Xingyue threw herself into his arms.One didn't pay attention, and kicked all the chess pieces in the purple jade bowl to the ground.

"Father, you must make the decision for Xingyue, the emperor's elder brother bullied me~"

Seeing Princess Xingyue acting like a baby in the arms of the Supreme Emperor, Wu Dequan got up consciously and picked up the chess pieces kicked over by Princess Xingyue one by one.

"Hehe, tell me, why did he bully you?"

"He can't beat others by himself, so he wants to take me for a kiss and marry that ugly, stinky bear!"

Princess Xingyue hugged the Empress's emaciated body tightly with both hands, and buried her head in tears.

The Supreme Emperor laughed and said: "Where is it like what you said, I have seen that prince. Although I don't say that he looks like Pan An, he is also tall and straight. He is not as unbearable as you said."

The Supreme Emperor obviously already knew about this, and he had seen the Golden Retriever Prince, so he had an intuitive evaluation.

"I don't care, I don't want to marry him anyway!" Princess Xingyue twisted her head and expressed her protest to the fullest.

Xu Shi's unreasonable little daughter's family made the Supreme Emperor dote on him even more. He stroked Xingyue's head and said with a smile: "Girls always want to marry when they grow up."

"But I don't want to marry those bears, they all look ugly and their speech is ugly...

If I marry them, I might as well stay by my father's side for the rest of my life and never go out to play again. "

When he heard that Princess Xingyue could even give up going out to play, the Emperor was very surprised and asked with a smile: "Oh, since you would rather not go out to play than marry the Russian prince, what kind of person does my little princess want to marry in the future? "

Who do you want to marry? Princess Xingyue quietly glanced at her father, and said in a low voice: "If you want to marry, you can marry a stinky egg."

"Who?"

"No one." Princess Xingyue wanted to deny it immediately after she said what was in her heart, but it was a pity that the Supreme Emperor had already heard it.

"Stinky? Who is the stinky? Could it be my Xingyue's sweetheart?"

"No way, he just, just a little bit, only a little bit like him."

Princess Xingyue was seen through her mind, and she flung herself into the arms of the Supreme Emperor to act like a baby again in embarrassment.

"I like it only a little bit. Tell Father, what do you like about him?"

"I like him, I like him, oh, people don't know what they like about him, they just get angry when they see him, want to see him when they don't see him, get angry when they see him, that's how it is!"

Seeing Princess Xingyue gnashing her teeth, the Supreme Emperor couldn't help laughing and said, "The person you're talking about is Jia Qing, the guard in your princess' mansion, right?"

The Supreme Emperor loves his little princess so much, so naturally he doesn't know anything about the friction between her and Jia Qing.

"Father, you know everything." Xingyue came a little embarrassed.

Oh, didn't you come here to beg your father not to let you marry me? Why did you even say this?
Sensing Princess Xingyue's shyness, the Supreme Emperor rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, you are just playing around among children, you don't really like it, when you grow up, you will know What do you like?"

"Really?" Princess Xingyue was only 13 years old, and she was carefree since she was a child. She really couldn't tell what she liked or didn't like, but she said and acted according to her own heart.At this time, when she heard what the Supreme Emperor said, she was a little uncertain whether she liked Jia Qing or not.

But there's one thing she's pretty sure of.

"Anyway, I won't marry that stinky bear!"

"Okay, if you don't marry, you don't marry. Isn't it true that neither your brother nor I have agreed to let you get married, and you just ran to other people's prince's mansion to make trouble, what is it like?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Xingyue immediately cast all her troubles away, wiped away her tears, and said embarrassingly: "Didn't Xingyue think that she was going to marry that toad prince, and she was anxious, she won't do it next time. "

"Hehe, well, let's go back, father is old, and those who are hugged by you will fall apart!"

"Hee hee, father will never grow old."

"I was crying just now, but now I'm laughing again. I'm really a child who hasn't grown up yet."

"Hee hee, I was originally a child, my father's little treasure! Hey~!"

Princess Xingyue kissed the Taishang Emperor on the face, and acted coquettishly to curry favor again, after which she hopped out of Xiyuan and went back to the Princess Mansion.

After Wu Dequan waited for Princess Xingyue to go out, he saw that the Supreme Emperor was still looking at the gate with a smile on his face, so he asked: "Since Long Live Lord doesn't intend to let the princess go to marry, why didn't you explain it to the emperor yesterday?"

The Supreme Emperor glanced at him and said: "Can't you see that the emperor loves to fight? If I rejected him yesterday, wouldn't it just give him a reason to continue preparing for the battle?

Besides, the Russians suddenly proposed a peace agreement and offered to marry the princess. Although we don't know if they are really sincere, we have no reason to refuse.

Therefore, no matter what requests they make, I must first stabilize them!

Everything will be revealed after their princess enters the capital. "

Wu Dequan bowed himself to be taught.

As the eunuch who accompanied the Supreme Emperor for more than sixty years, he could fully understand what the Supreme Emperor meant.

The Supreme Emperor does not want to fight, nor is he afraid of fighting.This time the other party took the initiative to "subdue the softness" and marry the princess, and the court will have face, so naturally there is no reason to refuse.

But if he agreed to marry the princess at this time, the meaning would be different. Wouldn't it mean that he was afraid of Russia?
So Taishanghuang chose to drag.
Drag until the other party's princess arrives to complete the marriage.

At that time, the initiative will be completely in their own hands, and the court will have nothing to lose.

"Then what if Russia is sincerely making peace with us this time, and wants to do business with us at the border, so that we don't violate each other?"

"Then, for the peace and stability of hundreds of millions of people in Dachu, even my most beloved princess should be obliged to do so."

Coming out of Daming Palace, Jia Qing's doubts deepened.

The sincerity of these Russians in negotiating peace must be too much. Today, Princess Xingyue made such a fuss and hurt a few of them. After Emperor Zhengqing promised to pay some medical money, she accepted it graciously.
Forget it, I didn't expect Xingyue, a little girl, to spoil the peace talks between the two countries by making a fuss.

Next, do your own errands.

Jia Qing went directly to the Ministry of Rites, and after a while, he came out with an errand document.

"A welcoming envoy?"

In Jia Qing's study in Ning'an Hall, Yang Xu asked in surprise.

Jia Qing nodded and said: "I'm also very surprised. Today I accompanied the princess to the mansion of Prince Jin Mao to make a fuss. Although I was severely scolded by His Majesty, I turned around and handed over this errand to me.

It stands to reason that there are so many court officials, princes and lords, I never thought that the emperor would entrust me with the task of welcoming the Russian princess. "

Yang Xu thought for a while, then turned to ask Chen Shoudao: "I don't know how Daoist Chen thinks about this matter?"

Chen Shou said indifferently: "Nowadays, the court is full of turmoil, and the elders of the court, the emperor and the Supreme Emperor have different attitudes towards peace negotiations. At this time, any mistake may cause a chain reaction. The emperor's move has actually expressed his desire Meaning, he didn't want to elevate the other party.

The other party sent the princess over. It stands to reason that it is most solemn for us to choose a prince to welcome the bride on behalf of His Majesty.But His Majesty obviously didn't want to do that, and he sent his nephew there because his nephew's title was not high, and he was just in line with the emperor's wishes. "

Jia Qing smiled wryly, he was actually sent to belittle his opponent... I vaguely remember the classic dialogue in "Yanzi Makes Chu":
"Qi ordered envoys, each with its own master. The sage envoys the virtuous lord, and the unworthy envoys the unworthy lord. Infants are the most unworthy, so it is appropriate to entrust Chu."

This is the king of Chu mockingly saying that there is no one available in Qi, so he sent such a thing as Yanzi.
Yan Zi said that each country sends envoys to different targets, the wise ones are sent to the wise king, and the unwise ones are sent to the unwise king. He himself is not a joke, so he was sent to Chu country.

Now that I am here, it should be changed to:
"The envoys of Chu have their own uses. The honorable ones are used to welcome the honorable ones, and the humble ones are used to welcome the humble ones. Qing is the most humble, so he is the envoy to welcome relatives."

It fits the scene so well, but this time it's no longer a retort, but being looked down upon by his own people.

There has never been a time like now, Jia Qing feels that his status is too low to hold his head up
