Chapter 246 Rong Le and Pro
"Empress, do you think Concubine Cao will listen to us? Let Princess Rongle prepare well?" Lingxi saw that this matter was so smooth, which was somewhat incredible. Not to mention the incompatible relationship between the Queen and Concubine Cao, Concubine Cao has always been known for being cautious, and this time he believed the Queen without any doubt.
"Everyone has weaknesses, and Concubine Cao's softness is Rongle. On the contrary, it involves important people, and the rationality of ordinary people no longer exists. It is not surprising that Concubine Cao has such a reaction. This saves us trouble. Just wait for Rongle to show his performance in the Southern Wu delegation tomorrow." The Empress left a meaningful laugh and turned around and returned to the Buddhist temple.
The queen knelt down in front of the Buddha, and this quiet life on weekdays was about to be broken again. The Buddha who was lofty still had a kind look, but the person who knelt down had a different state of mind. The harem that had been calm for a long time had once again stirred up. She was the winner last time, and this time, she must be the one who won.
The people of the Southern Wu country are fierce, and men have always fallen in love with gentle and quiet women at first sight. If Rong Le disguises himself as a well-behaved and lovely person, they are not afraid that the Prince of Southern Wu will not favor Rong Le.
Concubine Cao returned to the bedroom. Rong Le had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When she saw her mother returning with a smile on her face, she hurriedly greeted her, "Mother, has the Empress agreed to help me?"
"Rongle, don't worry, although the queen did not agree to help you to plead with your father."
"What? I knew that this old witch didn't help me with such kindness. She wanted to see us fall into disgrace and be sparse by our father." Rong Le spoke angrily, and Concubine Cao hurriedly covered Rong Le's mouth.
"Rongle, there are ears in the wall. How many times have I told you this sentence? Why are you still talking nonsense? Do you still think there is not enough trouble now?" Concubine Cao discovered today why her daughter was so disobedient and causing trouble.
Concubine Cao rubbed her temples. When Rong Le saw her mother's expression, she knew that her words had gone too far. She immediately changed into a kind and cute look and said coquettishly, "Mother, Rong Le didn't mean it. You know, I'm also anxious. My father never treated us like this before."
"Okay, I know you naturally, but your temper must be changed, otherwise you will suffer a loss sooner or later." Concubine Cao warned Rong Le earnestly.
"Mother, what should we do now in this situation? Should we let Chen Wanxin do it recklessly? Her injuries really have nothing to do with me. I just scare her, like hitting myself with a stone. Who knew that she would be hundreds of times more cruel than me." Rong Le was still a little scared when she thought of the scene a few days ago. These days she was dreaming every night, and as long as she thought of Chen Wanxin's cruel eyes, she couldn't help but shivered.
"You insisted on interrupting me just now. Although the queen did not agree to plead for you, she told me a message. The mission of Nanwu will come to visit tomorrow. We will attend the banquet at that time, and your father will definitely be there. You are gentle and obedient at the banquet. When your father sees it, he will definitely forgive your previous mistakes. Then we will tell him the truth. Are you still afraid that Chen Wanxin will fail?" Concubine Cao told Rong Le all the time.
"Mother, are you talking about it true? My father will definitely listen to me to tell the truth?" Rong Le asked with some doubts.
"Your father has always loved you, but this time we are too rivals. Who knew that Chen Wanxin was actually a hard rock." Concubine Cao mentioned Wanxin's name and would feel itchy, and she wanted to peel her skin on the spot.
"I listen to you all Mother, I will perform well, so that you and my father will be satisfied. Is it good for me to perform dances at the banquet? If I show my face in front of the delegation, my father will be very happy." Rong Le suddenly suggested when he thought of his Feihongwu.
"This is a good idea. This is the first time the Southern Wu delegation is visiting Beiliang. Your father must attach great importance to it. If you really show your face in front of them, let those people in Nanwu know that our princesses in Beiliang are versatile. Your father will definitely appreciate you very much. Rongle, just do that." When the Western Chu delegation visited, Rongle showed his flying geese in front of them. Everyone present was amazed at that time. Emperor Beiliang was very happy because of this and gave Rongle a heavy reward.
"Mother, it's not time to go back to the palace to practice dance now." Rong Le saw that he had received the approval of Concubine Cao, and went back to get familiar with the dance. This time the dance must not be exactly the same as last time, and the mission will arrive tomorrow, and time is too tight.
One day later, the Southern Wu delegation arrived as promised. Two days later, the Northern Liang Emperor set up a banquet to entertain the Southern Wu delegation. Important concubines in the harem and important officials in the court attended the event. It was a huge momentum and luxurious one.
Princess Rongle's shocking dance at the banquet shocked everyone and praised everyone. The Southern Wu delegation praised even more. There were very few women dancing in the Southern Wu Society. Now when she saw the princess dance in the Northern Liang royal family, she was so exquisite. The Prince of Nan Wu looked straight on the spot. Rongle thought he was amazed by his dance posture, and even threw a proud look at him.
Just when Rong Le left, Emperor Beiliang had already praised Rong Le very much, especially when he saw the Prince of Southern Wu with admiration in his eyes, he looked at Rong Le reluctantly, and his smile became even more satisfied.
As expected, the next day, the Prince of Southern Wu mentioned Prince Rongle to Emperor Beiliang. Emperor Beiliang laughed when he heard this, "I didn't expect that Prince, you actually fell in love with my princess."
The Prince of Southern Wu knelt down on the ground, "The Northern Liang Kingdom is worthy of being a great country. Such exquisite dancing postures are very few in our Nanwu capital. As a princess, she actually has such a skill. I fall in love with the princess at first sight, so I ask Your Majesty to fulfill it."
Emperor Long of Beiliang was very happy. He didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly. "I am dissatisfied with the prince, Rongle has no marriage. I have always been willing to let the princess get married, for fear that she will suffer a grievance."
When the Prince of Nanwu heard that the marriage was a show, he raised his spirit, "Your Majesty is so worried, I will naturally understand. But Your Majesty can't keep the princess for the rest of her life and prevent her from marrying her. If she can marry the princess, she will love her very much and will never let her suffer any grievances."
"Haha, it would be great if this is the case. I also hope that the princess can find someone who truly loves her. Now that the Southern Wu and Northern Liang are in good terms, I would be happy to see it happen if they can marry each other. It is a good thing for both countries." The Emperor of Northern Liang, who was very happy, even if he loved his children, it was not as good as his preference for the country and rights.
"Your Majesty agrees to my marriage with Princess Rongle?" Prince Nan Wu asked in surprise, "If so, I will quickly compile a book to my father and tell him the good news." Prince Nan Wu had already had a strong liking for Rongle and was completely blinded by the illusion shown by Rongle.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that the prince was also a person with a temperament. Well, I admire you the most. There are outstanding young men like you in Nanwu, and the future development of Nanwu will be unlimited. However, this matter is a big deal. I have to tell Rongle's mother to agree to the prince." Emperor Beiliang had no intention of telling Rongle at all. In his eyes, the matchmaker's words were said by his parents. As long as he agreed to the matter, Concubine Cao would agree. Rongle naturally had no right to object.
"I was abrupt and forgot the rules of Beiliang." The Prince of Nanwu looked clear, "Then I will wait for Your Majesty's good news. I can notify my father as soon as possible and prepare for the wedding. The father urged me more than once, but he never thought that when he came to Beiliang and his party, I would meet a real destiny girl. It's really my fate."
After the Prince of Southern Wu retreated, Emperor Beiliang stood up and went to Concubine Cao's bedroom. Concubine Cao was very surprised to see Emperor Beiliang coming and felt that Rongle's affairs should be revealed.
"My beloved concubine, I haven't come here these days and I have neglected you. I'm really busy with official business recently." Emperor Beiliang helped Concubine Cao, who was about to salute.
Concubine Cao hadn't experienced such treatment for a long time. She looked at the man who ignored him a few days ago, "I thought Your Majesty had forgotten me."
"How is it possible that no one can shake the position of my beloved concubine in my heart." Emperor Beiliang hugged Concubine Cao, reached out to pinch her small chin, and said with a little playful look.
"Your Majesty is teasing me again..." Concubine Cao looked shy, completely like a girl who had just fallen in love. It was this kind of girlish feeling that made Beiliang obsessed with her.
"I came here today and had a great joy to tell my beloved concubine..." Emperor Beiliang said happily, "I must be happier than I do when I hear this."
Concubine Cao was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uneasy. Seeing the Northern Liang Emperor looking at his questioning expression, he hurriedly covered his eyes, "Your Majesty, what are your happy events to tell me? There is no major event in the palace recently..."
"Haha, I know you can't guess that this matter is about you." Emperor Beiliang reached out and scraped Concubine Cao's firm nose.
Concubine Cao was even more panicked, "Your Majesty, don't be playing a puzzle with me. You know, my mind has always been dull and I can't guess."
"Okay, it's Rongle's business if I don't tease you. I've found a good marriage for Rongle. Do you think this is a big happy event?" Emperor Beiliang smiled and looked at Concubine Cao's reaction.
"What?" Concubine Cao suddenly exclaimed, and immediately changed her tone when she saw Emperor Beiliang's expression. "What I mean is, why did Your Majesty suddenly find a marriage for Rong Le? Your Majesty should know Rong Le... She has not forgotten Liu in her heart..."
When Emperor Beiliang heard that Concubine Cao dared to mention Liu Fanchen, he was furious, "You have the face to mention this matter? I can pass on the past of Rongle, why are you still stubborn?"
Concubine Cao knew that Emperor Beiliang was already angry and immediately softened his voice, "I don't have that meaning. What kind of marriage did Your Majesty find for glory and joy?"
"This marriage will definitely not insult my Beiliang royal family. The other party is the prince of Nanwu. Do you think this is a marriage that is a matchmaker?"
"Prince of Nanwu?" Concubine Cao exclaimed again, with some answers in her heart, "How could this happen? I mean, will the Prince of Nanwu agree? After all, Nanwu is our friendly diplomatic relationship, and this matter must be safe with the consent of Prince of Nanwu."
The Emperor of Northern Liang, who was originally angry, suddenly softened his expression when he heard Concubine Cao say this, "The beloved concubine was very comprehensive. What you must have never imagined was that this matter was mentioned to me personally by Prince Nan Wu. The flying hongdance of Rongle shocked everyone that day. The Prince of Southern Wu was because of this love. Prince Nan Wu will be the king of Southern Wu in the future, and Rongle will become the queen of Southern Wu. This will not only benefit Rongle, but also the people of the entire Northern Liang. When Rongle married Nan Wu, our two countries will definitely be close to each other, and good, so that the two countries will be able to live in peace and without war. Do you think this is a good thing?"
Seeing that Emperor Beiliang had already raised this matter to the affairs of the two countries, Concubine Cao knew that he was powerless to turn the world around. "Rongle didn't know about this matter yet, and I thought I should tell her first."
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. I know that you can't bear to leave Rongle, but as the Princess of Beiliang, it is her responsibility and obligation. Besides, the Prince of Southern Wu also favors Rongle, and Rongle will not be wronged even if he marrys him. So I think this matter should be done as soon as possible." Emperor Beiliang patted Concubine Cao on the shoulder, which made Concubine Cao, who was depressed, put the overall situation first.
"Your Majesty also knows Rong Le's temper. I'm afraid she will resist and reject her. And is this matter so urgent? Can't you take it slowly?" Concubine Cao already knew that Rong Le's marriage would become a tool for Emperor Beiliang in the future. Therefore, Rong Le was concerned about Liu Fanchen, so she vigorously promoted this matter. Otherwise, with Liu Fanchen's original life experience, she would not be attracted to her at all, just because she wanted to keep Rong Le by her side. Now it seems that everything is empty. Even if Rong Le doesn't agree, there is no other way. After all, dealing with the country is the responsibility of the princess of a country, but she always feels that something is wrong.
"It depends on how you, the mother, convince her. No matter what, I will hear good news. If she is stubborn and unsatisfied, don't blame me for using other methods!" Emperor Beiliang said a word and walked out of Concubine Cao's bedroom. "I want to hear your news as soon as possible. The Prince of Southern Wu can't wait for that long. I hope my beloved concubine will not disappoint me."
After Emperor Beiliang left, Concubine Cao fell to the ground powerlessly. The palace maid beside him quickly helped Concubine Cao up. Concubine Cao sat blankly on the bed, looking at the front with empty eyes, and tears couldn't stop crying. Her Rongle was her treasure. If she really married to Nanwu, it would be like a separation from life and death. Maybe she would not have the chance to see Rongle in this life.
I thought that Rong Le was attracted by the Prince of Southern Wu because of Fei Hongwu, and the initiator of this incident was the queen. "Lin Jiayi! It's you again! This time you actually used such a vicious method! This palace makes you unable to eat it and take care of it!"
