Chapter 84 Absurd Marriage
Su Yiqing lowered her eyes. At that time, she was in love with her sister Xin'er. Now that she knew that Xin'er was an undercover agent, she really wanted to say that it didn't count, she was just thinking about it. Su Yiqing really couldn't say such rogue words, so she just said: "
I don’t know if there is anything a commoner girl can do for my empress.”
She didn't agree straight away. She asked first what was going on and it was simple if it didn't violate moral principles. If you really want to be upright, you might not need her.
As soon as she said these words, she immediately felt invisible pressure. Queen Xu's two stern eyes seemed to be able to penetrate her through the veil. This time she had no doubt that the woman in front of her was the original woman and not a substitute. This was a real person.
a feeling.
"You are more courageous than I think." The queen chuckled softly, "What I want is indeed not against morality. It is very simple. I want you to marry the young prince of the Zhou Dynasty."
No matter how Su Yiqing was mentally prepared, the queen's request must be dangerous or tricky. She did not expect it to be such a request. She didn't know what the young prince of the Zhou Dynasty was like, but no matter how bad his status was, he would not be taken seriously.
There is also a prince with the title of prince but he is not a native of the country. How can he be reduced to marrying a woman like her who is about to be divorced? If you want to humiliate the other party, you can just find a woman with a humble status or an embarrassing background to marry you without going to a lot of trouble.
Looking for someone like her who is very sensitive in every aspect?
There is only one use for her: to be a spy and steal secrets. Anyone with secrets must have a high status. How could she agree to marry someone with her status? Moreover, if she really wants to be a spy, her only advantage is her legs and feet.
Lisuo, then you can pretend to be a maid. It won't attract so much attention.
Wait, Su Yiqing felt that she might have thought wrongly. The so-called marriage was not a real marriage, or it was just a beauty toy given by the royal family. In this way, she didn't care much about her identity. She could just find a good citizen status for her so that no one would know that she was.
The young lady from Yuan Ping's uncle's house will do it.
Thinking of this, Su Yiqing immediately gritted her teeth and said: "Mother, I said I will not violate morality. In my opinion, cheating is also an act that violates morality."
"Did I tell you to lie to others?" the queen asked calmly.
"Then how can she match the young prince with her status as a commoner's daughter?" Su Yiqing didn't dare to say that she didn't want to be a concubine.
"Why can't they match? The young prince of the Zhou Dynasty is a relative of the emperor, and you are also a daughter of the uncle's house. How come I, a noble daughter of the Jing Dynasty, am not worthy of a relative of the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty?" The queen said in a faint tone.
Out of majesty.
"But the daughter of the people is engaged to General Zhao." Su Yiqing gritted her teeth and moved out of Zhao Boyang. Although everyone knew that at this point, the marriage would either be canceled or she would become a concubine. But as long as the engagement was not canceled for one day, this layer of skin would not be broken.
After all, Empress Xu is the mother of a country. It is not easy to pressure her with kindness and ask her to give up being a wife and become someone else's concubine. That person's older sister or younger sister even stole her original husband-in-law.
"You must already know about General Zhao and the little princess. To be honest, General Zhao is determined not to marry the little princess, and has made it clear that he would rather die to apologize than let down another innocent woman." Queen Xu said, and paused.
For a moment, he stared at Su Yiqing and saw that there was no movement on Su Yiqing's face. She secretly felt that this was the right step, and said, "The young prince of the Zhou Dynasty is aggressive. General Zhao must be responsible for his sister. What's the point of saying that General Zhao is dead?"
Use? His sister's reputation has been lost. She is born as a member of the Zhao family and dies as a wife of the Zhao family. Once a woman from the Zhou Dynasty identifies with a woman, she is hers for life. So I thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. Since the little princess
I have taken away your husband, so I will give you a husband as compensation. Don’t worry, the young prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not lose to General Zhao in terms of appearance and talent, and I will not humiliate you. I can’t let the Jing Dynasty eat all the losses.
.”
Su Yiqing was stunned for a moment. Is this okay? After hearing the last sentence, she couldn't help but said: "Since the young prince is so outstanding, is he willing to marry a commoner's daughter?"
The queen smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. As long as you are willing and he doesn't, the problem will be solved. General Zhao's incident is not his fault alone. The people of the Zhou Dynasty are also responsible. If he doesn't bear any responsibility, it will be solved."
No, everyone can just ignore it."
"..." Su Yiqing wanted to open her mouth to say something, but found that she had nothing to say. The queen's strategy was quite good, leaving the problem to the other party. If the other party agreed, it would be the best of both worlds. If Zhao Boyang refused to marry the little princess, they would not agree.
By the way, after all, Zhao Boyang was trying to save the little princess before, so he couldn't let the Zhou Dynasty take advantage of it. As the rescued person, the little princess and her family didn't need to pay any price.
Thinking about it, she didn't need to ask whether she was a wife or a concubine. If she was a dispensable concubine, the young prince would definitely agree.
But in the end, she was the most unlucky person. The young prince was forced to marry her. How could he treat her well? Take her back to Dazhou, just throw her into a corner and let her fend for herself.
, I'm afraid that she will feel it is a shame and take it out on her whenever something goes wrong. Being a first wife in name only makes life much harder than an ordinary concubine who is not favored.
But as Empress Xu said, this incident did not violate morality. On the contrary, it was regarded as sacrificing for the country. After all, she did owe Empress Xu. There was no way to repay her gratitude easily without sacrificing anything.
Su Yiqing didn't speak, but she didn't agree immediately. She just stood with her eyebrows lowered and her head lowered.
The queen was silent for a moment, and said with a just right smile: "I am also a woman. The greatest happiness in a woman's life is not glory and wealth, but finding a man who treats her sincerely. Now I can only say that you and General Zhao have no fate, and I also
I'm not a heartless person. I was originally worried that I didn't know how to speak, but today I saw that you were planning to run away from home, and I felt that you were not an ordinary woman. Don't worry, I didn't want to exchange a bottle of antidote for your happiness in life. As long as you
The reason is to marry the young prince and preserve the relationship between the two countries. After returning to China with the young prince, it is entirely up to you whether you want to stay or leave. I believe that if you don't want to, no mansion in the world can lock you up."
After hearing this, Su Yiqing suddenly raised her head, her mind was spinning. After a long while, she finally nodded, but she had something to say first. She said seriously: "The daughter of the people hopes that the empress will agree to the request of the people of the people. That is, if the time comes
Disappearance, please don’t implicate anyone.”
"Don't worry about this. I can certainly guarantee that even after you get married, I will make arrangements for the people you marry and will never implicate innocent people. These things are not difficult for me." Empress Xu
I agreed immediately.
"Thank you, empress." Su Yiqing bent her knees and saluted, then fell silent. She really had nothing to say.
"Feel aggrieved?" Queen Xu seemed to be able to see through her thoughts.
Su Yiqing remained silent because she felt aggrieved. If she was involved in such a marriage for the sake of her truly loyal Xin'er, she had nothing to say. However, she was aggrieved by making such a sacrifice for a craftsman. But what could she do if she felt aggrieved? It couldn't be said that it was because of her.
If she felt that the original deal was not a good deal, she would regret it, not to mention that now she has no right to regret it at all.
"What if General Zhao doesn't agree?" As soon as the words came out, Su Yiqing was stunned. It turned out that she was still unwilling to give in, or she still had a little hope in her heart.
Empress Xu showed an obvious sneer in her eyes, and said slowly: "Do you want me to make a bet with you? Bet on whether General Zhao will persist to the end? Or you can offer to give up the position of the principal wife to the little princess.
, I am willing to be a concubine, this matter can be solved, man? As long as you feel guilty, you will try your best to make up for it in other ways. I will definitely love you far more than the main wife. Even in the eyes of the world, you are still a person who has to compromise for the sake of justice.
You are a wonderful woman, no one dares to bully you, the court will compensate you, and you can also ask for a concubine. Except for the difference in status, everything you get will be better than that of the little princess."
Su Yiqing slowly shook her head. There must be a stake in gambling. Now she has nothing to lose. She can't afford to lose anything anymore. As for being a concubine, let alone being a concubine. It's not a matter of low status, but two people like this again.
Women's war continues to the next generation, repeating the tragedy of the previous generation.
What's more, if the initiative in this matter lies with Zhao Boyang, if Zhao Boyang insists on not marrying the young princess even without her, there is no need for her to do anything. If Zhao Boyang does not insist, even the queen will not be able to save the day.
"You are a smart man. You will live a good life. Women, you can live a good life as long as you are not obsessed with love." The queen seemed to sigh.
Su Yiqing said softly: "Love is not the only thing that can make people sink into hell. I believe you, my lady, should understand this deeply."
She didn't know much about this legendary queen, but she knew that such a person would not have all desires. Even if this queen was really a wise queen and was in the center of power, she had seen sordid things.
It's also more popular than others.
The queen's eyes flashed slightly, but she said nothing. She raised her hand slightly and let her go.
Su Yiqing let out a long sigh.
Back at Uncle Yuanping's Mansion, everything was still the same. The little maid was dozing off. No one noticed that in this dark night, something that could shake up Uncle Yuanping's Mansion happened just like that and then passed quietly.
She was the only one to bear all the horror.
She lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, so she kept her eyes open until dawn.
The two big black circles under her eyes frightened the little maid the next day, but no one was surprised. At this time, it would be strange if she could eat well and sleep soundly.
For three days in a row, everything in the house was as usual, but not everything was normal. Even her small courtyard was so quiet that the maids and wives didn't dare to say a word, and walked deliberately softly. Even Jiang, who usually liked to add insult to injury, taunted her.
It's rare for me to be smart enough not to provoke her at this time. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
