The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 356
"Second Emperor's Sister-in-Law." When Zhao Yalin saw Sang Youqing, she threw herself into her arms full of grievances, and the tears that had just stopped fell like pearls with a broken thread.

Sang You hugged her with a helpless look in her eyes.At this moment, she didn't ask any more questions, and let her vent her emotions in her arms.

After a while, Zhao Yahou had cried enough, and then raised her red and swollen eyes, looked at Chu Qing from Sang Youqing's arms, pursed her lips and called, "Sister-in-law."

Chu Qing gently nodded.She is not very familiar with Zhao Yazhen, and at this moment, she doesn't know how to persuade her, so she simply left this matter to Sang Youqing.

"If the princess has cried enough, she might tell us what happened? It made you so sad." Sang Youqing and Chu Qing exchanged shallow words, and there was a tacit understanding.

Seeing her silence, she knew that the other party was asking him to ask.

Zhao Yahou looked at Sang Youqing aggrievedly: "My mother said that a minister suggested to my father that he wanted to marry me to North Korea to strengthen the relationship between the two countries."

"What!" Sang Youqing cried out, her lips parted slightly in surprise.

You must know that North Korea and South Chu, although there is no war at present, North Korea has always been eyeing South Chu.If Zhao Yahou really married, it would be a good thing for North Korea and South Chu to reconcile.But if the person is married, but the problem cannot be alleviated, this princess who is held in the palm of Nanchu's hand and cared for will not only have a very miserable life, but even her life may not be guaranteed.

"I told my queen mother that I didn't want to marry, but she said it was my responsibility as a child of the royal family. The people provide for us, so we must sacrifice ourselves when the people need us." Zhao Yazhen is not a coquettish and pretentious person, and she naturally knows that Qiao The Queen is right.

She was so sad, but she was mourning her own fate.

Chu Qing, who was on the side, was also shocked when he heard it.

The matter of marriage has existed since ancient times.

In the world she traveled through, for thousands of years, countless women sacrificed themselves for the so-called peace, married in a foreign land, never set foot on their homeland again, and could not meet their relatives again.

Involuntarily, she thought of what a certain master once said: "The emperors of the past are the ones who protect the barbarians. If you obey them, you will cherish them with virtue, and if you betray them, you will shock them with prestige. Unheard of and marriages."

"It's like protecting the barbarians and the emperors of the previous world. If you obey, you will cherish them with virtue, and if you rebel, you will shock them with prestige. Unheard of and marriage." When Sang Youqing repeated these words in a murmur, Chu Qing came to his senses. He actually read this sentence.

"Sister-in-law, what you said is really good. Why does the country's politics depend on our women? Why does the safety of a country depend on sacrificing women to maintain it!" Zhao Yazhen had already left Sang Youqing's arms. Hearing Chu Qing's murmured words, a burst of heroism suddenly radiated from between his brows.

Her character is inherently heroic.The previous weakness was just a reaction of being overwhelmed.

Now, Chu Qing's unintentional sigh aroused her inner resistance.If the two countries went to war, she would rather put on armor and hang a sword, and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, than put on a dowry and marry the king of the empire in humiliation.

Uh……

The scorching gaze of the two made Chu Qing slightly embarrassed.It seemed that he accidentally misappropriated someone else's words.

It's just that it's really hard to explain this matter, so I can only bite the bullet and accept it.

"The emperor hasn't agreed yet, maybe things are not that bad, and the princess doesn't have to worry too much." Chu Qing also persuaded.

A stern look flashed across Zhao Yahou's red and swollen eyes: "The most abominable ones are those rebellious ministers who speak to the emperor. Before North Korea came, they wanted to send me there to keep them safe."

This is what pissed her off the most.

Others see her as a high-ranking princess, but in the hearts of those ministers, she is just a tool.

"I'm afraid it was someone from Lan Shangshu's school who proposed the marriage proposal." Sang Youqing said after pondering.

"It's that old man!" Zhao Yahou patted the table and said.

Chu Qing didn't really understand the factions in the imperial court, but learned from Zhao Shenghao that Lan Tingzhi and Wen Qingzhu, who had enemies with him, seemed to belong to the third prince Zhao Shenggao.

At this moment, upon hearing what Sang Youqing said, he turned his eyes to the past.

Knowing that Chuqing didn't understand the affairs of the court very well, Sang Youqing explained: "In the court, the affairs of North Korea are divided into the main battle and the main peace, and there are still a small number of people who are neutral. People, most of them are military generals, full of passion, unwilling to live with ease. Those who are in charge of harmony are civil officials, and Lan Shangshu is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he is considered the head of civil officials, so..."

With such an explanation, Chu Qing clearly understood the situation in the Southern Chu court, and immediately said with a smile: "In this way, General Sang is the backbone of the main battle."

Sang Youqing smiled, noncommittal.

"I just don't know who is the leader of those neutral people." Chu Qing murmured thoughtfully.

Sang Youqing also shook her head: "These people seem to be scattered, and they are not easily involved in court disputes. However, if they condense, they will be a force that cannot be ignored."

"Aren't my two good sisters-in-law comforting me? Why are we talking about important national affairs again?" Seeing that the two were getting further and further away, Zhao Yahou hurriedly held one hand and said coquettishly.

The delicate state of this daughter's family made Sang Youqing and Chu Qing smile.

I had no choice but to temporarily put aside my doubts and continue to explain Zhao Yahou.

The three of them talked for a while, and Zhao Yahou's depressed mood gradually improved.It's always something that hasn't been finalized yet, so she doesn't need to worry too much at all.

Suddenly, a servant came in to report that the Queen of Xiliang had come to Furong Pond and wanted to see the eldest princess's autumn banquet.

For this uninvited guest, not to mention that the Zhiqiu Banquet has been cancelled, even Zhao Yalai, who is in a better mood, has no intention of entertaining him, and was about to refuse, when she suddenly heard Moyena's voice from outside the hall.

"My king heard that the eldest princess is holding an autumn banquet here, and came here admiringly. Why is it so deserted?"

Unexpectedly, this Queen of Xiliang, who didn't count as a simultaneous biography, broke in directly.

"My king heard that the eldest princess is holding an autumn banquet here, and came here admiringly. Why is it so deserted?"

The uninvited voice made the three people in the hall frowned involuntarily.A trace of impatience rose in my heart, this Queen of Xiliang was too arrogant.Here, after all, it is Southern Chu, not Xiliang.

However, even though she was unhappy in her heart, as a princess of a country, Zhao Yazhen restrained her emotions, put on a polite and moderate smile, and greeted the visitor: "I didn't know that Her Majesty the Queen was coming, so please forgive me for being too far away."
