Chapter 275 Princess
Xiao Ling has been restless these days, and Princess Qi has nothing to do with her. Naturally, Nan Wu will not do anything good by sending envoys to Jinling at this time.

Although it looked like a happy event, Xiao Ling looked reluctant. Princess Qi looked at her with her four eyes facing each other, and no one wanted to speak.

Because of the eldest prince's affairs, Princess Qi didn't think about food or tea, so she hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

If Master Wu hadn't prescribed some soothing medicine for her, she wouldn't even have the strength to sit down.

After she finished the fight, she chose a concubine to fight in the harem, and finally she was the only one left in the harem. The position of prince was naturally her prince Xiao Yu. How could he disappear from the world after the battle with Ling Yun?

Many people were sent to Houshu, but none of them brought back any news.

How could a Daqi prince suddenly disappear?

The servants in the palace spread rumors that the eldest prince had actually died in Lingyun Mountain a long time ago. It was just because Prince Qin was afraid of losing the battle that he killed the eldest prince. When the emperor was angry, it would be a crime that would implicate the nine clans, so this happened. As a delaying tactic, he said he was missing.

Princess Qi frowned and held her head. Her green clothes were usually bright and fragrant, but now they looked like autumn leaves, lifeless.

"Mother, how could Nanwu take advantage of the third brother at this time? It's so shameless. Who doesn't know that Li Wenhuo's sister Li Wenshuang is ugly and unruly, and her personality is comparable to that of Concubine Tao in the palace back then."

"Shut up, Concubine Tao, you dare to mention this bitch, you think I can't hit you because your father loves you, don't you?"

"Mom, please calm down. Then please advise your father not to let the Princess of Nanwu marry the third brother. The third brother is so honest. The main purpose of the Princess of Nanwu is to bully the third brother. How many more years can he live? He is frail and sickly, and I am afraid that he will soon be angered to death by Princess Wenshuang."

"Why are you so anxious? He's not your biological brother. You don't have to worry about your eldest brother's life or death. That Xiao Jin just married a princess, so there's nothing to make a fuss about. Why did the emperor want to have children? Part of it was for marriage and avoid war. Meeting each other is your duty as a prince and princess. Can you afford the glory and wealth in daily life, but can't bear a little indifference and savagery in the boudoir? Nothing in this world is so cheap.

Regarding the situation outside, your father lost an army of [-] in the battle of Lingyun. Now if Nanwu raises troops to attack the cities to the south of us, what can we do to stop them? Even if all the troops and horses are exhausted, Hou Shu will probably ride as far as Jinling on horseback. .

So you know how to fool around in normal times, but at the critical moment, it is just a girl's petty thinking, which is not the case.

What is the use? "

"I don't care. Third brother is not in the palace now. My father must ask him before he can make a decision. Besides, third brother will soon be crown prince. I heard that several ministers in the court have already Your Majesty, please consider choosing a candidate for the crown prince."

"Nonsense, the emperor is still young. There is no need to rush to establish a crown prince. It will not be too late in a few years. However, I think the marriage between the third prince and Princess Nanwu should be as soon as possible. It is best to send Xiao Jin directly to Nanwu." Go to Wu."

The more Princess Qi disliked Xiao Jin, the more Xiao Ling felt wronged by her third brother, and the more she felt she should take care of him.

"What do you know? Don't focus on big things. Worrying about that boy's affairs is really full. One day I will ask your father to marry you to Houshu. Just be careful about being sacrificed. More than half a year ago, Prince Li Wenhuo of Southern Wu married Princess Fanli of Yan Kingdom. After Princess Fanli married the prince, the two had a harmonious relationship, and the exchanges between Southern Wu and Dayan became more and more frequent.

It rained again and again, and the epidemic continued in Qi.The red rain in Suishan has not stopped, and flukes are infested in the Dongting area.The people complained endlessly, and many families who had lived in Daqi for two generations also fled to Southern Wu with their families.

The Southern Wu court had already coveted several cities in the south, but now that people's support was changing, the officials tried their best to encourage the prince to persuade the emperor to take advantage of the opportunity to raise troops.

Nan Wu had this plan, and Princess Fanli naturally tried her best to help her husband, so she wrote a letter to inform the Queen of Yan about the revolt. The Emperor of Yan listened to Queen Lin in everything, and Queen Lin doted on the princess. She went to court early the next day. At that time, they agreed to join forces to send troops.

That's how it is.Although it is not appropriate for the harem to interfere with court affairs, after all, these matters are the Xiao family's family affairs, and the Xiao family must step forward to take care of them.Your father is not confused. He has always been very sober. He has just been too lazy to care about many things over the years. The Xiao family's success was not difficult, but the people have suffered a lot. Now, what your father despises the most is the people. If you endure hardships, don't get involved in your third brother's affairs. Don't say you can't control it. It's useless even if I say it.

You can persuade me today, but I will not be able to persuade your father tomorrow.That's it. As a member of the Xiao family, even if he is not favored on weekdays, he still has to do his job well.

Those who deserve to be married must marry happily, and those who deserve to be tolerated must endure with peace of mind.When it's your turn, you won't be able to hide, and your father will send you out. "

Xiao Ling said unconvinced: "No way, my father loves me the most, so he would not marry me to a barbaric place like Houshu. Not to mention me, I..."

"What are you?" Princess Qi noticed something strange about Xiao Ling. There had been intrigues in the palace for many years, and no matter how many thoughts a woman had, she could not escape her eyes.

"It's nothing."

"Are you secretly in love? There are no outsiders in this palace except the palace and the guards. Could it be that old monster from Master Wutian?"

"What? My mother-in-law is talking nonsense about me again. It's nothing."

Xiao Ling had a peach blossom face and lowered her eyes shyly.

"Don't hide it from me, the reason for your marriage is not yours."

"Why can't you help me? If I don't want to get married, my father can't do anything to me? Can my father still force me to marry?"

Princess Qi took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Your life is not up to you, and Xiao Jin's life is not up to him. Even my life and your father's life are not ours to decide. You have the final say on this matter." It's best to figure it out early. I don't care who you like, but if you go against our wishes, no one can help you. You can die, but you can't do anything against the Xiao family. You have to be worthy of your people, for People, you must do things you don’t like, including marrying someone you don’t want to marry.”

Xiao Ling shook her head, unwilling to believe that this was the words of her mother who loved her so much, "No, I won't marry to Houshu, no, third brother can't just marry someone who doesn't love her like this. The woman becomes the prince’s concubine.”
