Chapter 139: Marry Prince Lanling
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned and stunned, and the whole garden fell silent again!
Which song is this from? Is it because the emperor is afraid that she will endanger the Chen family as Princess Yunyin said, so he simply marries himself away to Northern Qi?
Among these people, the one who was most surprised and heartbroken was Xiao Xian. He had already guessed that she would go to Qi, but he never thought that it would be under such circumstances and in this way... …
Is she sacrificing herself to protect the Xiao family?
In order to eliminate the Emperor's concerns, and for the Xiao family to no longer be feared by the Emperor...
Li Mi and Cui Heng were surprised, but also felt happy and disappointed.
What I am happy about is that this young lady will go to the land of Beiqi from now on. I thought that they would never see each other again this time in Beiqi. If she marries to Beiqi, there is still a chance to meet.
What's disappointing is that she chose Prince Lanling? But the Gao family of the Northern Qi Dynasty is not a place to live and settle down!
Such a dissolute and cruel emperor's house is even worse than Nanchen!
Although Yu Wenhui and Yu Wenzhi, the envoys of the Zhou Kingdom, looked calm and watched all this silently, they were filled with all kinds of calculations and treacherous thoughts.
Among all the people looking at him with different colors, only King Lanling showed joy after being stunned for a moment.
"Prince, Prince, answer quickly!" Lu Yu was so anxious that he wanted to agree for him.
Gao Changgong just didn't expect it for a moment, so he didn't come back to his senses for a while. After Lu Yu's reminder, he replied with a smile:
"Of course, I have no intention of going back on what I said!"
After that, he also stepped forward and came to Chen Xu, standing side by side with Xiao Jinyu.
"Chang Gong is very pleased with Xiao Jinyu, the daughter of the Xiao family, so he also requested His Majesty Chen to grant her permission. Chang Gong is willing to immediately engage her and marry her. From then on, Qi State and Chen State have formed a friendly state and will not invade each other! If there is any If other countries invade Chen, we, Qi State, are also willing to send troops to support you!"
Now the Chen State is empty of national power and lacks talents. The people need to cultivate themselves and cultivate talents, and it takes time to cultivate talents. If there is no more war in the past two years, this will be a great thing for the Chen State.
In the past, he had repeatedly wooed King Lanling, hoping to recruit her for his own use. Now he actually lowered his status for a woman, proposed an alliance, and promised that Chen Guo would support him if there was any foreign trouble in the future.
This sentence was undoubtedly said to the envoys of Zhou State on purpose.
Chen Xu's eyes were filled with uncertainty and he began to think carefully.
At this time, Yu Wenhui actually teased: "You are a county king, can you really represent Qi State?"
"King Lanling came to Chen this time as an envoy, representing the State of Qi. Yuwen Langjun actually said this. Could it be that when you visited Chen this time, you did not represent the State of Zhou? You went as an envoy without an edict? What are your intentions?"
Yu Wenhui was so angry that he was about to get angry. When Yu Wen stood upright, he stood up, bowed his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yuwen Sanlang didn't mean it this way. Please don't blame me, Prince Xiao! Don't blame me, Miss Xiao!"
At this time, Chen Xu, after pondering for a long time, finally looked at Gao Changgong and Xiao Jinyu and said: "Okay, I'm sure!"
"But Jinyu still wants to ask for your majesty's promise!"
Xiao Jinyu raised her head again and said something, and Chen Xu looked at her.
"Your Majesty, please decree that you will never attack Xiao Xian, his direct descendant...Ling Bing!"
So this is what she wants. She is willing to use the knowledge of the Xiao family to train poor people for the imperial court. She promises that the Xiao family will no longer raise private soldiers, and even marries the Northern Qi to build an alliance between the two countries, just to prevent him from attacking the Xiao family. Soldier?
"If the Xiao family has always been upright and committed no crimes, I will naturally not attack the army. This is my promise today! You are so worried!"
The emperor's promise is as true as his word!
With this promise, Xiao Jinyu is relieved!
But these words were said openly, in front of so many guests and scholars. After all, they were offended by Chen Xu, the emperor.
But she had to use this method to let the world's scholars testify!
Only in this way can Chen Xu be worried!
…
Under the shade of a certain place outside the manor, there was a pair of eyes staring at everything that happened here. Until the emperor left, no one noticed the existence of this person.
"Princess, would you like to go in and take a look? Maybe you haven't seen him for a long time?" Madam Wei held a box wrapped in silk and said next to a woman dressed in black and wearing a silk hat.
"No need, so what if we meet each other, do we still want to recognize each other? He has good vision and has found a powerful woman for himself. However, marrying such a woman will definitely make him the target of public criticism. What will happen in the future? It’s hard to say whether it’s a blessing or a curse!” “Princess, this little lady, I have dealt with her before. She is very smart and resourceful. It may be a good thing to have her by the prince’s side, but human relations... …”
"You don't have to say it anymore. It's his Gao family who failed me first. Besides, the Gao family is so ridiculous. Do I have to stay there and end up like Li Zu'e?"
Seeing that she was angry, Mrs. Wei's tone was full of resentment and sorrow. She sighed slightly and then said:
"The crowning ceremony for the distinguished groom of the Xiao family..."
"Prepare a gift to send! After all, we are both members of the Lanling Xiao family. Although they are from different sects, this Xiao family's distinguished man does have the style of my uncle, the prince! If he can be used by us in the future, That’s the best!”
As he spoke, he spoke softly and smiled softly, "There is also Xiao Jinyu, the young lady of the Xiao family. From now on, Xinghua Yanyulou will cooperate with her and give her three shares. Whatever information she wants, she will also provide it." Give it to her, but at the same time, I also want to know all the news about her.”
"Yes, princess!" Mrs. Wei said happily, "In fact, you still think of the county prince!"
The woman in black didn't answer, she just said: "Go and give me a gift! I have my own things to do, so I won't go in!"
…
After the crowning ceremony was over and the guests dispersed, Xiao Jinyu and Xiao Xian immediately went to check out the Xiao family's assets. They were all relieved when they saw that all the books in the library were intact.
Xiao Qilangjun returned to the direct lineage of the Xiao family in Lanling, and the fact that Xiao Jian pretended to be a concubine and pretended to be his wife, Princess Yunyin, also spread throughout the Xiao family. Princess Yin's servants and maids who had done all kinds of evil were all panicked.
But what surprised them was that Xiao Xian, the newly appointed young head of the family, did not kill or punish them in any other way. Instead, he returned all the deeds and asked them to leave on their own.
Some of the concubines and concubines of the Xiao family were also anxious, waiting for the new head of the family to make a fortune.
Because Xiao Jian was not of the Lanling Xiao family, the identities of these concubines and concubines became a very embarrassing mystery.
It was not until he was silent for a long time in front of the ancestral temple that Xiao Xian spoke: "I will move the Xiao family's ancestral hall to Wuyi Lane, the new Xiao family mansion. I will not take this house back. You can still live here. But From now on, I, Xiao Xian, will no longer have anything to do with you.”
"Eleventh Lang, come with me to the new Xiao Mansion!"
Hearing this, Xiao Lang, the crestfallen Eleventh Man, suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "Seventh Brother... No, Patriarch, are you willing to accept me as a descendant of the Xiao family? Don't you care about my true identity? I am most likely not …”
Xiao Xian smiled and nodded: "What I care about is not status, but character! As long as you are willing, of course you can be a descendant of the Xiao family!"
"That's great, seventh brother, thank you..."
With the Eleventh Man as a special case, the other concubines and concubines were also ready to turn their attention to Xiao Xian.
"Master, we also want to follow the master, and we are willing to be loyal to the master forever!"
Among the crowd's shouts, only Xiao Liu Niang and Xiao Qin were wringing their hands, hanging their heads in fear and not daring to speak.
Xiao Jinyu saw her at a glance and called out: "Xiao Qin!"
"Yes!" Xiao Qin suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Xian who was sitting in the hall, as well as Xiao Jinyu, Xiao Yuanshi and Xiao Ruoling standing beside him.
"Family...owner!"
She looked at Xiao Xian and tears fell down.
At this time Xiao Xian said: "Xiao Liu Niang stays, everyone else disperses!"
Are you not planning to take them in? Then they will no longer be descendants of the Lanling Xiao family, and will they no longer enjoy the honors brought by the Lanling Xiao family?
“Master!” These concubines and concubines shouted in panic.
At this time Gong Yizhong came over with several tribesmen and drove them all out!
Xiao Qin was the only one kneeling in the hall, under the cold eyes of several people.
"I have only one question. If you answer it truthfully, we will let you go free. Whether you want to get married or stay in this house, it's up to you!" Xiao Jinyu asked at this time.
"Okay, if you ask, I will answer truthfully!" Xiao Qin said immediately.
"Who is the person who gave Princess Yunyin the poison? Who is assisting her, or controlling her to poison the Xiao family's heirs and kill them all!"
