A scoff.
The eighth princess suddenly opened her eyes and shouted angrily: "Meng'e!"
Meng Ao twitched the corners of her lips, leaned forward and whispered: "Xiao Xiaoba, don't force me to beat you up in front of so many people. If you have sense, just shut up, or I will make you look embarrassed to neighboring countries!"
The eighth princess was immediately furious. Meng Ao, a bitch, dared to threaten her!
She opened her mouth to reply with sarcasm, but suddenly a chill ran down her spine, and a cold gaze fell on her.
Turning around, he saw who his grandfather was. To say who she was most afraid of, it had to be her grandfather. Before leaving the palace, her grandfather also sent someone to warn her not to cause trouble, but she ended up... he would definitely skin her alive if she turned around.
The eighth princess swallowed her throat with guilt and had to swallow her anger.
Seeing that she was no longer causing trouble and that the envoy was still there, Meng Ao immediately helped Xie Wan'er up and looked at the emperor: "Brother."
Xiao Huaiyu nodded and signaled the eunuch to send them to see the imperial doctor. He then arranged for the envoys to help Xihe enter the house. A dispute that was about to break out ended in such an anticlimactic manner.
But as soon as they sat down, the eighth princess's grandfather came to ask for an audience.
Xiao Huaiyu said without raising an eyebrow: "Come in."
When people came, they didn't say anything. It wasn't until dusk fell outside the house and the whole "Maoyuan" song disappeared and the envoys left, that they slowly stood up and stroked their sleeves.
"It seems that Mr. Fang has found a new supporter."
Mr. Fang's pupils shrank, and he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"
Xiao Huaiyu fluttered his sleeves and walked away. The eunuchs and guards quickly followed, and Maoyuan was instantly empty.
Lord Fang hurriedly caught up but stopped in front of the door. The eyes of the eighth princess, who had been waiting for a long time, lit up and she quickly caught up: "Grandpa, what did your majesty say...ah!"
Covering his face, he looked at his grandfather in disbelief.
Master Fang stared at her fiercely: "Something that fails to accomplish anything but fails to accomplish anything!"
-
This meeting with envoys was Xiao Huaiyu's first diplomatic trip after he ascended the throne.
Prince Balu's country is not an ignorant and backward small country. On the contrary, the current leader Batu is brave and good at fighting, and has many warriors and counselors under his command. Although the national power is not as good as them, it cannot be underestimated.
Apart from the "Maoyuan" episode, the two sides got along very well and even reached a lot of trade deals.
Xihe hadn't seen Meng Yuchuan for several days. It was said that he was busy with cooperation matters. When the envoy was about to leave, Meng Yuchuan told her that the eighth princess wanted to get married.
Xihe blinked: "Is it done?"
Meng Yuchuan smiled: "Of course it won't happen. Although His Majesty is young, he has great ambitions. He told the envoy that 'trade is allowed, but marriage is exempt.'"
"Whether the two countries can be friendly cannot be solved by marrying someone."
Xihe strongly agreed: "As long as trade routes are opened and cultural exchanges are opened, trade will naturally begin. There is no need for marriage. On the contrary, it would be pitiful to marry a young girl in an unfamiliar place."
There was no need for a marriage. Some people agreed and some refuted it, but once the emperor made the final decision, no one refuted it.
At this point, Prince Balu's mission to visit has finally been completed, and he will leave for home soon.
At this time, the eighth princess and her daughter in the palace were completely dumbfounded. The promised marriage was just ruined? Fortunately for the Eighth Princess, she doesn't like Balu anyway, he has a ragged beard and a big, thick beard, and makes him scared just by looking at him.
But her mother-in-law was not happy. After all, she had a son!
It's a pity that Master Fang's plan was seen through by the little emperor at a glance. It is difficult for the eighth princess and her daughter to leave the palace now, let alone get married.
The Eighth Princess said without hesitation: "That damn girl Meng'an must have complained to the emperor!"
Especially, when she heard that Meng A had followed Balu back to China, she was so angry that she tore her handkerchief into pieces.
He secretly scolded this damn girl for being so cunning, but it turned out that she actually fell in love with Balu!
Not only the eighth princess, but also Xiao Huaiyu thought the same way, with a complicated thought in her heart: "Do I have to go?" The little girl was wearing a red dress, and when she looked at Balu's rough look, her fists were hardened.
Meng Ao raised her eyebrows and said, "I heard that King Batu built a crystal palace out of ice and snow. My sister wants to see it."
Xiao Huaiyu pursed his lips: "If you like it, I can build one for you. It will definitely be more luxurious than his."
"Brother, you are joking again. If dad knows that you are doing this, he will definitely scold you for being ridiculous." Seeing that Xiao Huaiyu still looked unhappy, he tugged on his clothes and started to act coquettishly: "Brother, just let me go, okay? There are guards, there are A master of martial arts, and a maid to serve him, I can’t bear the pain and I can’t throw it away, so I will be back soon.”
The flags outside the city are blazing, the wolf totem of Balu country is waiting in the wind, and everyone is waiting.
Xiao Huaiyu finally shook his head and said helplessly: "There's really nothing I can do about you, but I promise, brother, to come back soon."
Meng Juan nodded hastily: "I know, I know!"
She smiled at him, jumped up and turned around and got into the carriage.
The drums vibrated, and the envoy's motorcade moved slowly, disappearing from sight little by little under everyone's gaze.
Meng Yuchuan held his wife's hand tightly: "You actually let her have her way this time."
Xihe: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let her do whatever she wants."
She always thought that Meng A was a little girl who couldn't grow up, until she came to her that night and said that she wanted to go out to make a living. The little girl smiled lightly and said, "Everyone says that I, the Meng family, are ambitious, but daddy I know very well who my mother is."
If it weren't for her eldest brother, she believed that her parents would choose to live in seclusion in the mountains or wander around the world.
"Now everyone thinks that we are interested in the lower position. I don't want my parents to be criticized, let alone get involved in these things."
"Mom, just let the child go. It happens that the child has grown up and wants to go outside."
Her daughter is so considerate, what can Xihe say? It’s also good to go outside and gain experience.
Meng Yuchuan paused: "You are not afraid..."
Xihe raised his lips: "They are all children. We will talk about the future later."
As soon as Meng Ao left, the whole capital suddenly became quiet, but soon it became lively again. It turned out that the eighth princess was getting married.
Mr. Fang was afraid that his thoughts would be discovered by the emperor, and he was even more afraid that the eighth princess would make a big fuss in Maoyuan and annoy the emperor. He wanted to atone for his sins, so he hurriedly chose a consort for the eighth princess.
Xiao Huaiyu didn't ask any questions. After knowing that the eighth princess had no objection, he casually issued an edict.
However, as soon as this incident came out, all the ministers seemed to have been reminded. They all remembered the matter of sealing the queen, and began to urge it day by day.
Xiao Huaiyu was so annoyed that he simply added more tasks to them. The adults who were so busy that they couldn't touch the ground gradually stopped. However, when they stopped, one of the people involved in 'Maoyuan' began to enter the palace frequently.
Xihe: "...Is there something wrong?"
Gouzi: "Because the heroine is reborn."
Xihe:! ! !
