My wife is sick

Chapter 384 Proposing Marriage (25 More)
However, no matter how bitter his heart was, the emperor of the Jing Dynasty had already spoken, so he couldn't stop talking, right?
The head of the Xiyi envoy swallowed the bitterness in his mouth hard, then stood up, and said very respectfully: "My king, Suwen, Princess Jingchao, is elegant and majestic, and she can quite show the style of a great country. For a long time, both the king and the ordinary people are rough and unruly. Even if they admire the culture of the Jing Dynasty, they can only look at the ocean and sigh. Therefore, the king wants to ask to marry the most noble princess of your country, while ensuring the peace of the border between the two countries. , can also allow the etiquette culture of your country to take root in our Western Yi, and I hope that the Holy One will grant..."

This can be said to be an extremely low profile.

It is precisely because of the low posture that people feel Xiyi's determination to win even more.

Think about it, if Xiyi is so sincere in asking for marriage, and Jing Chao is still reluctant to part with a princess, how can the Xiyi people believe that Jing Chao is sincere in wanting to negotiate a peace?
The most important thing is that Emperor Jingwen got the news from Jiang Heng early on. Before he proposed peace this time, the great shaman of Xiyi had already asserted that it would be auspicious if the peace between the two countries can go smoothly. Given the Xiyi people's belief in shamanism, it's hard to say if Emperor Jingwen really rejected the proposal of a marriage, whether there would be any result in the peace negotiation.

Emperor Jingwen frowned more and more.

Empress Fang, who was sitting next to Emperor Jingwen, originally had a faint smile on her face, but now, seeing that Emperor Jingwen didn't say the rejection she was expecting for a long time, the smile on her face gradually faded. become stiff.

Maybe Emperor Jingwen hasn't thought of it yet, maybe Emperor Jingwen has already thought of it, but it is still difficult to make a choice, but as a mother who regards her children as extremely important, Queen Fang thought of it immediately. The princess of the right age, but there is only Princess Fanghua.

The rest of the princesses were either married a long time ago, or they were too young to get married at all.

If Emperor Jingwen really accepted the Xiyi people's marriage proposal, then, her youth, which she held in her hands since she was a child, would actually go to Xiyi and other bitter cold places to marry?
Queen Fang couldn't accept it anyway.

Although she didn't show it on the face, Empress Fang's hands in her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.

At this time, Emperor Jingwen was silent for a long time before he said: "I will discuss the matter of getting married later. Tonight is to welcome the guests from Xiyi. As for the official business, we can discuss it at another time."

The Xiyi envoy heard the words, although he still felt something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything more.

However, the palace banquet, which was originally extremely relaxed and warm, gradually became heavy after this episode, not to mention the courtiers who have already realized what it means to be married, it is the younger generation who have not yet realized what it means They also became quieter.

Although most of these young people are not very old, and they have not yet got a formal job, but no matter what, they still know how to look at the adults. Now the adults are quiet. long eyes?

Sister Tian sat at a table with brother Tao and Lue.

Long before, they had known from Wei Fu that Xiyi would ask Jing Chao to marry the princess, so they would not be surprised when they heard the words of Xiyi's envoy, and they would not discuss it because of it. .

However, Sister Tian heard the conversation between a brother and sister at the adjacent table.

The person who spoke was the younger sister of the two, and she hadn't thought about it so deeply. Seeing the strange atmosphere in the hall at this moment, she couldn't help being a little surprised, "Brother, what's the matter, the Xiyi people want to marry our princess, Your Majesty If you’re not willing to refuse, then that’s fine, why did it suddenly become like this?”

The elder brother tugged at his sister's sleeve, looked left and right, and then lowered his voice to explain to his sister.

"what!"

The lady almost exclaimed, and when the voice was about to escape from her throat, she covered her mouth with her hands in time, so as not to attract the attention of others.

Then, Sister Tian heard her extremely low voice: "How is this possible?"

Her words represented the thoughts of most courtiers and wives.

Princess Fanghua, that is Empress Fang's direct princess, and the only one in the royal family, she has been favored by the Holy Majesty and Fang Empress since she was a child. Words from a most wonderful husband-in-law.

How could such a princess go to Xiyi to get married?

If they really went to make a kiss, how would the Holy Majesty and Empress Fang be heartbroken?
These, everyone can think of.

Sister Tian noticed the silence between the siblings, and followed suit.

Just as she knew that she and her two elder brothers had to shoulder the important responsibilities of their family, she also knew that Princess Fanghua was born noble and had received all kinds of honors, but if one day, she had to make sacrifices At that time, she couldn't refuse.

What kind of honor and favor you enjoy, you should naturally assume what kind of responsibility.

How many years ago, the Jing Dynasty and the surrounding Yi people had no marriages. Naturally, the princesses of the Jing Dynasty only needed to enjoy the honor and favor, and did not have to bear any responsibilities. But now it is different. The Xiyi people Take the initiative to ask for marriage, and the peace negotiation between the two countries is a major event that is extremely beneficial to both countries...

It's Princess Fanghua who doesn't like it, Queen Fang doesn't like it, even the Holy Majesty himself doesn't want to give up, but before such a major national event, what does a woman's wishes and her life's happiness count for?
Thinking of this, Sister Tian's heart is inevitably a little sour.

Obviously, these important family affairs should not have anything to do with their little daughters' families, but if they really got involved, how helpless would this be?

"call!"

It took a long time for Sister Tian to let out such a heavy breath.

She thought, it's better for herself, she doesn't need to be in the position of Princess Fanghua, let alone embarrass herself and her relatives.

Or……

Sister Tian actually believed it. Even if she really stood in the situation of Princess Fanghua, her parents would never sacrifice her for any reason.

This is a kind of intuition, and such a thing never happened at all, but Sister Tian believes it so inexplicably.

As for Princess Fanghua...

Naturally, the Holy Majesty and the Empress would worry about her affairs, she is just a little girl who doesn't understand anything, so don't worry about it needlessly.

Sister Tian stopped thinking about it, but focused on the various foods in front of her.

Leaving aside those completely cold dishes, the dim sum at the palace banquet tasted very good!
Sister Tian thought while eating.
