A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

He paused and continued, "Now, Princess Minghua is dead, and the Beirong people just said lightly that she died of illness, but in fact, we still don't know how she died?

She was only seventeen when she got married, and now she is dead before she is twenty. It is hard to imagine what kind of life she led in Beirong?

The Beirong people did not give any explanation for Minghua's death, but instead proposed a marriage alliance with us. If this is not a provocation, what is?

This time, I am firmly against another marriage. However, Prince Rui and several civil officials advocated a marriage, saying that sacrificing a woman would save the people from the suffering of war and chaos, which is feasible. The matter has not been finalized yet. "

Shen Qingqian said: "In fact, the emperor has already made up his mind and has begun preparing for war, right?"

"Ok!"

Zhao Yichen was not surprised that Shen Qian could guess this. After all, she had already guessed what the Ministry of War was going to do with the coal!

He nodded and said, "On the surface, the marriage has brought the two countries closer, but in reality it cannot solve the fundamental problem. Blindly compromising will only make Beirong feel proud!"

Shen Qingqian thought for a while and said, "Is Beirong's request this time just a test? If we, Da Yue, agree to the marriage, they will go further and make more demands!

On the contrary, if we do not agree, they will use this as an excuse to attack Dai Viet. Perhaps the death of Princess Minghua was intentional, just to stir up trouble, anger Dai Viet, and find a suitable reason for future wars. "

Zhao Yichen was convinced by her intelligence. He couldn't help but touch her head and said, "You are right. Beirong not only asked to marry the princess this time, but also asked for two cities as a dowry.

Moreover, three months ago, the old ruler of Beirong passed away. The crown prince of Beirong, Alden, ascended the throne smoothly. He is a warlike man and has long coveted the land of our Great Yue. It is only a matter of time before the two countries go to war. "

Shen Qingqian nodded in agreement, but she just wanted to understand the matter and she had no right to judge anything else.

The two sat down in a hall, and Zhao Yichen started talking about another thing.

"Qing Qian, are you really going back tomorrow? Won't you stay a few more days?"

"Ok!"

Shen Qingqian smiled and nodded, she felt that Zhao Yichen now was a completely different person from before, yes, a little sticky!

The maid brought tea and placed it on the stone table in the pavilion.

Zhao Yichen waved his hand, signaling them to go down and not to serve him.

Zhao Yichen personally poured two cups of tea, brought one of them to Shen Qingqian, and said, "The Royal Grandmother is going to stay at the Summer Resort for a while, and my father said he would personally escort the Royal Grandmother there, and asked me if I would go.

I wanted you to stay a few more days, but I refused. Since you really want to leave, I will go with them tomorrow.

The court has been busy these days, and I haven't mentioned our affairs to my father. I think I can take this opportunity to mention it to my father and grandmother on the way."

"It's up to you to decide."

Shen Qingqian did not force this matter and left everything to Zhao Yichen to handle.

Shen Qingqian knew that in this era, the gap between her and Zhao Yichen's status was huge. Perhaps this gap would become a chasm that prevented the two from being together.

Perhaps in the eyes of the world, she was marrying up by being Zhao Yichen's concubine, not to mention dreaming of having Zhao Yichen all to herself!

But Shen Qingqian never felt that she was inferior to others. Her self-confidence and pride were engraved in her bones.

Love is never everything in life. If you can achieve a happy ending with the person you love and go on smoothly, everyone will be happy.

If she can't, she will be sad and regretful, but she won't be sad for long, nor will she regret it for the rest of her life.

The next morning, Zhao Yichen watched Shen Qingqian get on the carriage and leave before riding to the palace.

royal palace.

After the Qiyuan Emperor finished his morning court session, he returned to the Yangxin Palace. He took the tea handed to him by his personal eunuch Xia Qing, drank a sip, and ordered: "Send someone to ask if the Queen Mother is ready. If she is, we can set off."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."

Xia Qing took the order and left. As soon as she went out, she met Concubine Dong.

"See the Imperial Concubine."

Xia Qing quickly bowed to Concubine Dong.

Concubine Dong said arrogantly, "Stand up! I want to see the emperor, please go and report it first!"

"Yes, please wait a moment, madam."

Xia Qing entered the Yangxin Palace again.

After a while, Xia Qing came out and said to Concubine Dong: "The emperor said please let your majesty in."

Concubine Dong ordered the maids and servants behind her, "You just wait outside. I will go in alone."

After saying that, she straightened her clothes, stroked her hair, and then walked in gracefully.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

Concubine Dong had a clear and pleasant voice and a dignified and elegant demeanor.

Emperor Qi Yuan seemed to be in a good mood, and said in a friendly manner: "Why are you here, my beloved concubine? Hurry up and get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Concubine Dong stood up, put the food box in her hand on the table and opened it.

"I personally brewed some rock sugar and snow pears, and chilled them. Your Majesty, please have some!

The weather is hot, and the journey is bound to be tiring. I am worried about your health. Drinking some rock sugar and pear can prevent heat stroke."

"Well, my beloved concubine is interested."

Emperor Qiyuan took it and drank it in small sips.

Concubine Dong smiled and sat aside to watch. The emperor put down the spoon and asked, "My beloved concubine, would you like to drink some with me?"

Concubine Dong shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, drink it. I didn't have breakfast this morning, so I shouldn't eat sweets."

"Oh? Why didn't my beloved have breakfast?"

Emperor Qiyuan put down the spoon, wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and asked.

Concubine Dong said, "It's nothing, I just have a poor appetite these days and don't want to eat. But the imperial physician has already prescribed medicine for me, I believe I will be fine in two days, I'm sorry to have worried the emperor."

Emperor Qiyuan said, "Well, it's good that you're fine. If you want to eat something, just ask the imperial kitchen to prepare it. You can't skip meals!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I understand."

Concubine Dong seemed to have remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that a new kind of food called hot pot is popular in Ping'an Town. It is very popular among the local people!

I am curious, is this hot pot as delicious as people say it is?"

"Oh? I have never heard of it. Why, my beloved concubine, do you want to try it?"

Concubine Dong smiled coquettishly: "I was just talking casually. Ping'an Town is at least 200 miles away from the capital. How can I run so far just for a bite of food?"

Emperor Qiyuan smiled cheerfully and said, "Isn't this simple? If my beloved concubine wants to eat this, just summon the person who makes this kind of food into the palace and have him cook a meal for her!"

Concubine Dong was immediately surprised. She looked at Emperor Qiyuan with burning eyes and said, "Really, Your Majesty? Can you really call someone into the palace?"
