A Clash of Gods - Chapter 765

[Chapter 761]

Ximen Zhan Sakura’s face turned pale, Qi Ning only thought that his ears were not good enough to hear it wrong, and frowned and asked, “Qiaowei, who did you say the emperor gave the marriage to?”

“Returning to the Marquis, the decree of the marriage has not yet come down.” Qu Xiaocang said: “It’s just that someone from the palace just said that Duan Shao, the prince of Dongqi, had just entered the palace to meet the sage, and begged the sage to marry him. ”

“No.” Qi Ning’s expression immediately became cold: “Duan Shao didn’t say that he wanted to propose to our country of Chu before. Even if he had a temporary intention, he should find the princess from the royal family.

“Master Hou, the first emperor only had the emperor’s dragon blood.” Qu Xiaocang explained: “Most of the royal princesses have already left the cabinet. Although there are still two royal blood princesses who have not left the cabinet, the older ones are less than ten years old. Years old, not yet the age to leave the cabinet, so the royal family does not have a princess suitable for marriage.”

Qi Ning thought to himself that the bloodline of the Xiao family was really not prosperous, and frowned: “Even if the royal family does not have a suitable princess to marry, Duan Shao is the prince of Dongqi. The girl, now that Duke Zhen Guo is the most important minister of our Great Chu, and his granddaughter Sima Wanqiong has yet to leave the cabinet, wouldn’t she be the most suitable candidate?”

Qu Xiaocang said: “I don’t know why Duan Shao thinks of Zhan Ying. But the words from the palace are not wrong. Duan Shao is asking the emperor to ask Zhan Ying to marry him.”

Ximen Zhanying’s pretty face was pale, and her delicate body was trembling, as if she was about to cry. She looked at Qi Ning and said with a weeping voice, “Qining, what should I do, think of a way.”

Qi Ning knew Ximen Zhan Ying’s mood at the moment, and said softly, “Zhan Ying, although Duan Xuan asked for a marriage, the emperor did not issue a decree, this marriage still has a chance, don’t worry, if you don’t want it, I will definitely do it. It’s like the emperor’s advice.” Looking at Qu Xiaocang, he asked, “Lieutenant Qu, does the mistress know about this?”

“Beijing has already sent someone to Xianleju to report to the God Hou.” Qu Xiaocang said sternly: “Master Hou, the Prince of Dongqi is sending his relatives here. It seems that he has been hiding his thoughts for a long time.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, thinking that it was no wonder that the Prince of Dong Qi would send his relatives in person. It turned out that he wanted to play such a trick.

It’s just that even if he takes Ximen Zhanying, what benefit will it be to Dongqi? Is it just to strengthen the alliance between the two countries?

“I’ll go to the palace now.” Qi Ning pondered for a while, and said, “Duan Shao wants to take Zhan Ying away from Da Chu. It’s just wishful thinking.” But he was thinking that Ximen Zhan Ying was already his own woman. , how can we let others take love

He didn’t delay, and with a few words of safety Ximen Zhan Ying, he left the Shenhou Mansion and went straight to the palace.

When he arrived in the palace, he went straight to the imperial study, thinking that Longtai had promised that he would marry Ximen Zhanying into Jinyi Qi’s family. Ying Yuan married Dong Qi, and she had to argue with Long Tai for whatever she said.

I didn’t reach the imperial study room, but I saw several figures in front of them coming towards them. The front one was Fan Dehai, the eunuch chief beside Longtai, and the one behind him was wearing a brocade robe and jade belt, wearing a crown on his head, and his slender figure was Duan Shao, the prince of Dongqi.

There was a stern look in Qi Ning’s eyes, but it flashed by. Duan Shao had seen Qi Ning over there, and said with a smile: “Jinyi Hou!”

Qi Ning stepped forward and cupped his hands: “His Royal Highness!” He thought that Duan Shaoguo was really in the palace, so the news that Qu Xiaocang got would not be false.

Although the Shenhou Mansion has great magical powers, it should not dare to put eyeliners in the palace. Before Duan Shao left the palace, the Shenhou Mansion got the news. It is very likely that Longtai deliberately leaked it out.

“Today, the lord of your country has summoned him, so he entered the palace to meet him.” Duan Shao was graceful and smiled: “Bengong and the lord had a very pleasant talk, and the lord also left this palace to have dinner together. The dishes of your country are really good. Absolutely delicious.”

Qi Ning said with a smile: “It’s a pity that the Jinyi Hou’s mansion is very shabby, and there is no good cook. Otherwise, you must invite His Highness to the poor house and have a few drinks.”

Duan Shao laughed and said: “Jinyihou, it doesn’t matter if you invite me, but you must drink the wedding wine of this palace.”

“wine”

Duan Shao smiled and said with his hands on his back: “This time, this palace is sending my relatives to come to your country,

It is to forge a lasting alliance between the two countries.

In order to make the two countries more intimate, this palace has asked the Lord for a decree, begging the Lord to give me another marriage.

Although this palace is over thirty years old this year, it has not yet appointed a prince concubine. After marrying a beautiful lady from your country this time, she will be registered as a prince concubine immediately. From then on, our two countries are the real A country of in-laws.

”

“So that’s the case.” Qi Ning said calmly, with a smile, “Congratulations, Your Highness.”

“Jinyi is waiting to enter the palace, and I want to come to meet the Lord to discuss something.” Duan Shao cupped his hands and said: “I won’t bother you much, I will say goodbye first, and then go back and drink heavily.”

Fan Dehai also bowed to Qi Ning, which led Duan Shao to leave.

Qi Ning watched Duan Shao go away, sneered, and then went to the imperial study. After passing the report, Long Tai summoned Qi Ning to go in. As soon as Qi Ning entered the imperial study, Long Tai said, “You came very fast.”

Seeing that Long Tai was sitting behind the imperial case, Qi Ning stepped forward and bowed before saying, “The emperor gave me three days, the minister has made a decision, and now I am here to return to the emperor.”

“Don’t be pretentious.” Long Tai said: “Duan Shao just left on the front foot, and you came over on the back foot. Don’t you know what you want to do? You already know that thing”

“I don’t know what the matter is.” Qi Ning shook his head and said, “I entered the palace today because I want to ask the emperor to marry him. I am willing to marry Ximen Zhanying, and I hope the emperor will make it happen.”

Longtai saw Qi Ning’s calm expression, but he couldn’t see Qi Ning’s dissatisfaction. He smiled lightly, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, “Speak slowly if you have something to say, don’t worry.”

Qi Ning went over and sat down, and Long Tai said: “I let people tell the news to the Shenhou Mansion and tell them Duan Shao begged to marry Ximen Zhanying back to Dongqi. Naturally, you already know about this.”

“I’ve heard a little.” Qi Ning said, “But I don’t believe in such rumors. The emperor has promised to give Ximen Zhanying to the minister. If the emperor has made a decision, the minister will naturally ignore those rumors.”

Longtai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Qining, are you mocking me on purpose?”

“How dare you.” Qi Ning looked at Longtai: “The emperor is the son of the emperor, and he can take the head of a minister with one finger, how dare the minister mock the emperor.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Long Tai laughed and scolded: “If you don’t enter the palace, I will also call you over. Qi Ning, Duan Shao really wants to marry Ximen Zhanying, but I haven’t agreed.”

“Your Majesty, Duan Shao knows that you have promised Zhan Ying to me,” Qi Ning asked.

Long Tai said: “I did mention it, but Duan Shao said that since I haven’t made a decree, it is not the emperor’s order. At first, Duan Shao wanted to marry a princess from the royal family, but the royal family did not have a suitable candidate. That’s why I proposed to marry Ximen Zhanying.” Looking at Qi Ning, he said, “Don’t put all your mistakes on my head, if you had agreed three days ago, I would have issued the will at that time, how could I still have it? There are all these troubles.”

Qi Ning leaned back on the chair and said, “How did I know that Duan Shao would come out like this.” He frowned and said, “Your Majesty, with all due respect, Duan Shao is the prince of Dong Qi, and his status is considered noble. Although Ying is the daughter of Ximen Wuhen, the title of Ximen Wuhen is not comparable to that of the royal family, even the four hereditary candidates. The royal family has no princesses to marry, and it is not easy to choose one of the four hereditary candidates. Disaster.”

“You’re right.” Long Tai said: “The Jindao Tantai family and your Qi family have no suitable candidates, but Sima Wanqiong of the Sima family is in the age of leaving the cabinet, and Su Zhen also has a daughter who is also at the age of leaving the cabinet. , these two people are very suitable. Dongqi sent Princess Tianxiang, no matter what the purpose is, at least it is sincere to make friends with my big Chu. Since Duan Shao proposed to kiss and kiss, I naturally can’t refuse, and even promised if He wants to marry the four major hereditary candidates, and I am very happy to see it happen.”

Qi Ning knew very well in his heart that if Duan Shao’s marriage partner was not Ximen Zhanying, but the young lady of other dignitaries in Chu, not only would he not have the slightest disgust, but he would strongly support it.

If Chu and Dong Qi can get married, the alliance between the two countries will naturally be further strengthened.

But when Duan Shao took a fancy to Ximen Zhanying, it was impossible for Qi Ning to watch it become a reality. He was not someone who ignored the overall situation, but if he couldn’t even protect the woman beside him, it would be hard for him to believe that he could still There are greater achievements.

“If that’s the case, why didn’t Duan Shao accept the emperor’s suggestion?” Qi Ning frowned and said, “Why does he have to stare at Ximen Zhanying?”

Long Tai said: “He claimed to be fond of horseback riding and archery since he was a child. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com likes heroic girls, and those weak ladies are not suitable for his crown princess. He has practiced martial arts and has outstanding looks, so he begged me to marry Ximen Zhanying to him.”

Qi Ning frowned, and thoughtfully, Longtai saw that Qi Ning did not speak, and asked, “What are you thinking?”

“Your Majesty, I’m wondering how Duan Shao knew about Ximen Zhanying.” Qi Ning got up and walked over to the case, “Duan Shao’s embassy to send relatives arrived in Jianye in just a few days, why did they know so much about Ximen Zhanying? This time, he asked the emperor to grant marriage, whether it was decided before the trip, or whether it was a temporary initiative.”

Long Tai asked, “Do you think he was just improvising?”

“I’m not sure.” Qi Ning said, “But I always feel that it will not be that simple for the emperor to confer marriage during this period.” After thinking for a while, he said: “Emperor, the former King of Huainan went to the Huaihe River. The embassy greeted the embassy and told me in advance that the emperor might want to bestow the marriage, and the emperor must have told him about the marriage in advance.”

Long Tai said: “I think of the marriage, but I actually have something to do with the king of Huainan. When I sent the king of Huainan to greet him, the king of Huainan said that you have made a great contribution on your mission to Dongqi. After returning to Beijing, I can give you a decree. Getting married is a credit to you.”

“I see.” Qi Ning nodded slightly, “Could the King of Huainan have advised the emperor who he would marry me?”
