The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 522 Are you willing to let the emperor bestow a marriage?

Lin Qingqian found an excuse to lure the old lady over, and walked out together with Su Yingxue. Seeing Shen Fei standing worriedly outside the hall, she frowned slightly and asked, "Shizi Shen, where is Brother Chang Geng?"

Shen Fei said: "Chang Geng hastily went to the emperor, and I couldn't stop him just now." He lowered his voice, "It should be because Prince Hao wanted to accept you as his side concubine and Murong Jing asked to marry you. of."

Having said that, Lin Qingqian couldn't help feeling worried.

Seeing this, Su Yingxue comforted her: "Qing Qian, don't worry too much, Chang Geng has always been a prudent person, nothing will happen to him, if you are worried, we will wait outside the palace gate for him to come out."

Up to now, this is the only way to go, Lin Qingqian nodded, followed Su Yingxue out of the palace, boarded the carriage and waited for Gu Changgeng outside the palace gate.

……

Murong Jing took Gao Qixuan back to the post station, Gao Qixuan followed behind him, hesitated to speak, hesitated again and again, but couldn't help asking: "His Royal Highness, what you said to Emperor Beiming just now, is it true?"

Murong Jing asked instead: "Master Gao thinks what Gu said is true or not?"

"This... I don't know, but just now, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion looks like... She doesn't seem to want to be our Western Chu Crown Princess."

Murong Jing said: "It's within Gu's expectation."

"If Bei Ming does not agree to the marriage, will the crown prince give up on renegotiating a peace contract with Bei Ming?"

"Gu came here this time for this purpose, how could he give up."

Gao Qixuan asked in bewilderment: "His Royal Highness wants to..."

Murong Jing curled his lips into a wicked smile, and said, "If the renegotiation of the peace contract is to be completed, this person... Gu will also be taken away."

Gao Qixuan looked at Murong Jingxin's long back, completely unable to understand what Murong Jing was thinking.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that it was expected by him that the Third Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion did not want to be the Crown Princess, but if the marriage cannot be achieved, how can the peace contract be renegotiated?How did he take this person away?
Under the mask, Murong Jing's slender Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, with a confident light shining in them.

Lin Qingqian was unwilling, as he expected, because he knew that she would never be willing to be the princess of Xichu, so he deliberately asked for marriage in public, using this as a prerequisite for renegotiating the peace contract, posing as if she only needed to be married. Beiming agreed to the marriage, and Xichu's attitude was negotiable.

But if Beiming can't do it, when negotiating a peace contract, Beiming will be the one who is not sincere. At that time, Beiming will not dare to go too far if he makes a request.

Murong Jing's move was nothing more than placing the disadvantaged Xichu on an equal footing with Beiming to negotiate a peace contract.

And before he came to Beiming, he was fully sure that the marriage would definitely not happen, let alone Gu Changgeng, that girl was very smart, if she didn't want to, she would have a way to stop the marriage between the two countries .

As for how to bring people back to Xichu...

Murong Jing raised the corners of his lips and smiled inexplicably.

……

Qianqing Palace.

The emperor ordered An Yirou to come back with him, and An Yirou poured a cup of hot tea and served it, "Your Majesty, my concubine saw that you drank a lot of wine in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it would be more comfortable to drink a cup of hot tea."

The emperor took a sip from the teacup, put down the teacup, held An Yirou's small hand and rubbed it, "My concubine danced in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today, but I was dumbfounded. How good are you at dancing? Why did I never see you when the concubine performed the dance?"

An Yirou lowered her eyes and said: "My concubine's family is in the south of the Yangtze River. I learned how to dance when I was a child. I didn't dance well, so I didn't dare to make a fool of myself. Today... I want to make the emperor happy, but before I danced, I was very worried that the emperor would dance." dislike."

"Hahaha... I like it! In the future, my concubine can do whatever she wants! I like everything!"

An Yirou pretended to be shy and said: "The emperor likes to make fun of his concubines."

The emperor raised An Yirou's chin, and was about to kiss it, when Li Quan came in and said, "Your Majesty, General Gu is asking to see you outside the hall."

The emperor frowned and said: "I'm tired today, let him go back, we can talk about things tomorrow."

An Yirou's eyes moved slightly, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, this General Gu hastily came to ask for an audience. It must be because of the affairs of the palace today. It is really rare for General Gu to be so worried about state affairs. Why don't you meet with the Emperor?"

The emperor thought for a moment, sighed softly, and said, "Forget it, let General Gu come in."

Li Quan: "Yes, Your Majesty."

An Yirou got up and retreated temporarily, Gu Changgeng was always calm and calm, his face could not hide his anxiety, entered the hall, bowed his hands and said: "The general will see the emperor."

"General Gu is exempt."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor asked: "Just after the banquet, General Gu came to see me in such a hurry, but for today's matter in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

"That's right, the last general came here precisely for this purpose. The last general thinks that we must never agree to a marriage with Western Chu. The evidence for the alliance between Western Chu's prince Murong Jing and the Bada tribe is conclusive. Let Murong's eloquent denial. Facts are facts! He has obvious ambitions and has harmed our people in Beiming. If he agrees to marry him, it will make our Beiming weak and deceitful, and lose the majesty of our country!"

The emperor frowned, pondered for a moment, and said: "Prior to this, General Gu thought that if the peace contract was renegotiated, the conditions offered by Xichu would be beneficial to us, Beiming. Under the current situation where it is not easy to fight, it is not unacceptable, no? ?"

Gu Changgeng was at a loss for words for a while.

If he knew that the premise of Xichu's renegotiation of the peace contract was that Murong Jing asked to marry Lin Qingqian, even if the two countries turned against each other, he would never say such words!
Gu Changgeng's complexion changed, and he said: "The general did not expect Murong Jing to despise our Beiming so much, and his sophistry in the hall just now obviously did not take us Beiming seriously, so even if we have to renegotiate the peace contract , the emperor can't agree to his request! If you want to make a request, it can only be made by us, Beiming!"

The emperor remained silent, his expression thoughtful.

Gu Changgeng clenched his palms tightly, anxious, he wanted to blurt out several times, but finally managed not to say it.

The emperor pondered for a long time, and said: "I will think about this for myself. Now that it's getting late, General Gu should go back to the residence first."

Gu Changgeng said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the general thinks..."

"This matter will be discussed at the Golden Luan Hall tomorrow, General Gu should step down."

Li Quan stepped forward and said: "The slave will send General Gu out."

Gu Changgeng had no choice but to say, "The last general will retire first."

Gu Changgeng had no choice but to leave Qianqing Palace first, and stood outside the gate of Qianqing Palace, he pursed his thin lips tightly and his face was gloomy.

This is the first time Gu Changgeng regretted it so much. If he had known that today, when the emperor was about to send troops to attack Western Chu, he would have simply not stopped him.
Gu Changgeng left the palace with a heavy heart, and just after he left the palace gate, he heard a familiar voice.

"Brother Chang Geng."

Gu Changgeng raised his eyes and saw Lin Qingqian standing in front of a carriage, he walked over with a complicated expression.

Seeing him coming, Shen Fei said wittily: "Chang Geng, you can send Qingqian back to the house, it's getting late, I'll send Yingxue back, we'll go on horseback first."

After the two left, Gu Changgeng and Lin Qingqian got into Su Yingxue's carriage.

In the carriage, Lin Qingqian asked: "Brother Chang Geng went to see the emperor, but for the matter of the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

"Ah."

"Then what does the emperor say?"

Gu Changgeng was restless in his heart, he raised his eyes to meet Lin Qingqian's, his handsome face showed a trace of panic, he held Lin Qingqian's hand firmly, and said: "Qingqian, let me tell the emperor that we are in love with each other, I beg the emperor Give us a marriage, are you willing?"
