Chapter 216
envious.
In fact, Emperor Pei was not the only one who was envious.
As soon as it came out, there was a lot of commotion, and many people noticed it.
Pei Zhao and Qin Jiao also looked at each other and smiled, with relief and joy in their eyes.
Du Ruoqing and the Queen were filled with envy for those who could not be loved wholeheartedly by their own men.
Pei Jing was disdainful and playful, and he didn't know what bad idea he was planning.
"Prince Shen and Princess Shen have a really good relationship."
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoen spoke.
Suddenly, the tables in front became quiet.
"There is a princess in the big picture. She is very beautiful and lovely. Can she be your wife?"
"I have been in Da Pei for several days, and I have been fortunate enough to travel around Kyoto several times. Da Pei is really a country with vast territory, rich resources, and prosperity. It is really enviable to others." King Cheng said beautiful words to compliment Emperor Pei.
Emperor Pei's face showed joy, and he couldn't be humble even if he wanted to.
"Pei Yan listens to the order." Emperor Pei said.
Among the princes, he was more optimistic about Prince Shen.
They came here this time to promote harmony between the two countries. They said at the reception banquet that they would not talk about state affairs, but they still talked about the relationship between the two countries in a roundabout way.
"Hahaha, don't be envious. If King Cheng likes life in Kyoto, why not stay here? I will give you a house with servants, and I will definitely make your stay comfortable..."
The fourth prince Pei Yan, who has just turned sixteen this year, is still a young boy. Standing in the main hall, he seems a little shy and seems to be in low spirits.
"It's all up to the father." Pei Yan lowered his head shyly, feeling a little nervous and a little excited.
I sighed in my heart, but I also knew that Pei Sheng had a bad temper. If he really went against his will, I didn't know what he would do.
However, if you think that if you send the princess here, they will be lenient in the peace talks, you are totally wrong.
"What an honor." Pei Sheng raised the wine glass in his hand.
Yes, marriage is a powerful way to promote relations between the two countries.
"Yan'er, that is King Cheng of Datu Kingdom, and next to him is Prince Cheng." Emperor Pei pointed to King Cheng and introduced him.
"If I am lucky enough to marry a gentle and virtuous Princess Da Pei back to Datu, I, Datu, will definitely cherish her and protect her."
After the banquet that day, I received various posts from many aristocratic families one after another.
Princess? Emperor Pei hasn't admitted it yet.
When he received the notice from the eunuch, he was so shocked that he came over without even changing his clothes.
"That's natural. My wife and I are unquestionably in love, which is the envy of others." Pei Sheng's voice was filled with excitement, and he looked at Gu Xiaoen deeply.
However, King Cheng also played a trick. Since your Dabai has given birth to such a prince, then the princess of our Datu will also have to be replaced. Fortunately, he did not specify which princess it was just now.
"Haha, good. I like to make friends with gentle people. I wonder if I am lucky enough to be friends with His Highness Prince Shen." Gu Xiaoen smiled and extended an olive branch.
This marriage is related to the peaceful establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in the next few decades. It cannot be careless, and he hopes to maximize the benefits, but Da Pei has not established a prince for a long time.
Even before the peace talks began, the other party promised to send a princess over, which was considered sincere.
From beginning to end, Gu Xiaoen didn't even look at Qi Qi.
Can it still be bad? They are in a weak position on other people's territory, can they still refuse? No.
Pei Yan immediately greeted him.
Emperor Pei was stunned for a moment, then ordered the eunuch on the side to invite someone.
King Cheng looked at the young man in front of him, with disappointment in his eyes. He was really far different from King Shen.
Now that Pei Sheng mentions it, let alone mention it, it is indeed a personal choice.
The two chatted about the customs and customs of the two countries and had a great time.
King Cheng glanced at his son suspiciously, and Gu Xiaoen winked at him and smiled.
However, Emperor Pei looked at Pei Sheng with some reluctance. He really asked him to marry a country widow. Why couldn't he think about his good son?
Even though the woman had some abilities, he still felt that she was not worthy of his son.
A banquet, where the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, started well.
King Cheng didn't know for a while what kind of medicine his son was selling in the gourd, so he stopped watching and started to get close to Emperor Pei.
"My son, accept the order." Pei Yan was still a little confused, but it was not the time to explore, so he quickly knelt down to receive the order before talking.
Qi Qi only occasionally hears Pei Sheng come back and say this, but she is very busy now.
"Fourth prince? I don't know where he is?" King Cheng looked around, wanting to take a look.
"What do you think, King Cheng? Can this be done?" Emperor Pei looked at King Cheng.
Gu Xiaoen also raised his wine glass, and the two of them touched each other in the air and drank it all in one gulp.
"Thank you very much for your generosity, Emperor Pei. However, after all, I am a member of the royal family of Datu. Many affairs of Datu Kingdom are still waiting for me to go back and make decisions. I might not be right if I stay in Datu for a long time." King Cheng declined Emperor Pei's kindness and took advantage of the situation. Another purpose of my visit this time is, "I have a princess in Datu who is lively and cheerful, with a cheerful temperament. She likes some new things on weekdays and has longed for the mountains and rivers of Dapei. I wonder if there is anyone in Dapei who can marry her. A good man?"
"From now on, the emperor's fourth son Pei Yan will be crowned Prince Qing, and he will marry Princess Datu on a certain date to maintain harmony and establish diplomatic relations between the two countries..."
"King Shen's proposal is good. King Cheng, what do you think?" Emperor Pei finally compromised, but only temporarily.
What kind of opinion could he have? The other party was a princess, and he was just a dispensable prince. He had nothing to choose from.
Pei Sheng keenly sensed something was wrong, his eyes flashed, and he spoke first, "Father, I think this is a good thing, and I think it is feasible. As for the candidate, my fourth brother is also old enough to get married."
Pei Yan felt like his head was buzzing. Is he now the King of Qing?
Emperor Pei saw Cheng Wang's hesitation and felt a little uncomfortable. Even if he didn't like his son, he didn't allow others to look down on him. He was just so protective of his calf.
What followed was more than half a month of negotiations, full of talk, back and forth, and it was so lively.
King Cheng's lips twitched slightly, and he smiled awkwardly, "It's very good, very good."
"Hahaha...it's done." Emperor Pei didn't know that King Cheng wanted to change people silently, so he was very proud.
Emperor Pei was slightly startled, what about the fourth child?
The fourth prince, Pei Yan, has always been disliked by Emperor Pei because his biological mother was a palace maid, and his presence in the palace is very low.
"Oh? This..." Emperor Pei looked at Pei Sheng again. If it came to marriage, he still felt that the third child was the most suitable.
Flower viewing banquet, adult banquet, birthday banquet...
At this time, Qi Qi planned to go out for a banquet, representing Prince Shen's Mansion.
At first she was quite stressed, hesitant and did not dare to be careless.
Seeing this, Pei Sheng threw the post away and hugged her, chewing on it, which made her lose her temper. Then he leaned over her and laughed muffledly, "Yeah, my Qi Qi should be so alive." Don’t worry, if these posts make you feel any discomfort, just throw them away, why bother.”
