Xu Qingmo leaned on the carriage and sighed softly: "Suddenly I feel that pretending to be innocent is really hard work!"
Hua Ying didn't know until this moment that Xu Qingmo's behavior in the palace was all fake: "Girl, why are you making such a fuss in the palace?"
"I just won two games of chess against the Seventh Prince!" Xu Qingmo looked up at Hua Ying and said softly, "Although I changed the chess game later, the emperor may not know it!"
Hua Ying frowned slightly: "But, even if the girl really wins the chess game, what will happen?"
"You can tell people by watching chess. Do you know why my mother doesn't let others know that I can read the stars?" Xu Qingmo said softly, "People always say that it is virtue for a woman to have no talent, but if a person wants to achieve great things, behind him, There must be a capable woman!”
"The one who marries the eldest brother will be Princess Zhengyang!" Xu Qingmo suddenly said.
"Ah?" Hua Ying was a little confused, "Why, isn't it said that Princess Zhengyang is the least likely to marry the prince?"
"Yes, but I can't bear the fact that Princess Zhengyang has fallen in love with my eldest brother!" Xu Qingmo sighed, "Your Majesty's only daughter is Princess Zhengyang. For the sake of the seventh prince, Princess Zhengyang will definitely not have a relationship with the queen. Your Majesty mentioned this matter!"
"Then why did the girl say that Princess Zhengyang would marry the prince?" Hua Ying looked puzzled.
Xu Qingmo paused, then said with a smile: "Because she is His Majesty's only direct princess!"
Hua Ying was still confused and couldn't understand: "Girl, what does this have to do with your affairs today?"
Xu Qingmo paused, then smiled: "Actually, it's okay if you don't understand!"
Hua Ying became more and more strange, but she knew that Xu Qingmo didn't want to talk anymore, so she didn't ask again.
If Princess Zhengyang really married Xu Yanquan, in order to balance the power between the crown prince and the seventh prince, she would most likely become the victim.
So Xu Qingmo now cannot be dignified, sensible, or obedient.
After Xu Qingmo left the palace, Marquis Ningyuan was summoned into the palace.
When Marquis Ningyuan arrived, the emperor was having a meal. He thought there was no taste in his mouth today, so he cooked some Sichuan food. He was sweating profusely from eating. As soon as he saw Marquis Ningyuan, he called him over to eat together: "I remember one time Last winter, we were fighting in the north. The mountains were blocked by heavy snow and it was extremely cold. We just ate these chili peppers to survive!"
Marquis Ning Yuan looked at the red peppers in front of him and couldn't help but laughed: "Yes, at that time, Meng Yi had a weak stomach and couldn't eat spicy food. He would get upset after eating it, but he would feel cold if he didn't eat it. So he would get upset after eating it. Nausea, thanks to him Nausea, we escaped a surprise attack!"
When Meng Yi was mentioned, the emperor paused, and then said with a smile: "When talking about Meng Yi, I think of that boy Meng Hetong, who was really stubborn. He secretly followed you to join the army, but refused to seize the title. He was really stubborn with his father. It’s exactly the same!”
Marquis Ningyuan sat down on the chair prepared by the internal officials: "Today, my daughter and he seemed to have a quarrel in the palace?"
"It's Meng Hetong who deserves to be beaten!" The emperor smiled and shook his head, "I thought he was not too young. It happened that all the ladies in the capital were also there, and they were about the same age as him, so I wanted to ask. Is there someone he likes, but I didn’t expect him to directly talk about your girl.”
"Mo Mo is young and has a short temper. Is it because of this that I might have a conflict with him?" Marquis Ning Yuan looked helpless.
When the emperor thought about what happened in the afternoon, he couldn't help but laugh; "The punch your girl gave me hurt even when I saw it. She was really angry. When I quarreled with him, she was unreasonable and never said a word." Being loose-spoken is quite similar to your temperament."
Marquis Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "I don't think you are praising me, Your Majesty!"
The emperor laughed.
Marquis Ningyuan looked at the emperor and suddenly felt a little dazed. When they were young, they often laughed like this. Later, when the emperor ascended to this high position, he laughed less on weekdays.
After a long time, the emperor suddenly said: "Northern Xinjiang will come to Beijing to worship soon. I have received the secret message!"
Marquis Ningyuan frowned slightly: "Why do you come to worship at this time?"
"Their trip is not just a simple pilgrimage. Northern Xinjiang is about to change its dynasty, and their master is here to ask for help!" The emperor sighed, "They want to get married!"
Marquis Ningyuan frowned: "Promise, which princess are you asking to marry?"
The emperor's face gradually turned ugly: "It's Zhengyang!"
Marquis Ningyuan was not surprised. Princess Zhengyang was your majesty’s only direct princess and had the most noble status. It was expected that they wanted to marry Zhengyang!
For a moment, Ning Yuanhou did not speak, and the emperor also fell silent.
After a long time, Marquis Ningyuan finally stood up. He slowly worshiped, and then said: "Marquis Ningyuan, I would like to propose marriage to Your Majesty for your son, Princess Zhengyang!"
The emperor looked at Marquis Ning Yuan in front of him. After many years of friendship, Marquis Ning Yuan knew very well why the emperor came to him this time. There were many military generals marrying princesses, but there were very few princesses who were legitimate children.
In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Yanquan will only stay farther and farther away from the court in the future, and in the end he may just be an idle prince. Marquis Ningyuan is reluctant to let go, but he has to.
The emperor looked at Ning Yuanhou, stood up, walked to him, bent down and helped Ningyuan Hou up: "Yanquan is a good boy, I will not accept his power!"
Marquis Ningyuan looked up at the emperor in surprise. The emperor smiled and explained: "Originally, I would not have planned for Zhengyang to marry Ningyuan Marquis. But today, I found that Zhengyang's eyes are all filled with the beauty of your family. Boy!"
Marquis Ningyuan's heart pounded, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Lin family's niece who harmed the ministers, the Xu family absolutely cannot be related to the Lin family!"
The emperor looked at Ning Yuanhou for a long time, and finally sighed softly: "You just guessed what I wanted to say to you!"
"Your Majesty, all the other ministers can agree, but Mo Mo, Mo Mo can't!" Marquis Ningyuan said, his eyes slightly red, "She lost her mother when she was young, and the minister has been away all the time. She has been lonely since she was a child, she, she no……"
The emperor had never seen such a panicked Marquis Ning Yuan. He was a little surprised: "I remember that Yanquan was injured once and was unconscious for several days. You have never been so panicked!"
"Your Majesty, please atone for my death penalty!" Marquis Ning Yuan knelt down in front of the emperor.
The emperor frowned: "You tell me!"
Marquis Ningyuan thought about it again and again, and finally said: "The prince is not a good man!"
"Why did you say that?"
"The girl of the Yan family once stayed in the house for a few days, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went in and out with her for several days. Mo Mo is a person who does not rub dirt in his eyes. Her future husband may not be a high-ranking official, but he must be single-minded. The Crown Prince is here Mo Mo is not a good man!" When Marquis Ning Yuan said these words, he was confident and without any guilt.
