Chapter 471 Scars
A few days later, the remarks about Emperor Jing Yuan trying to marry the princess and get married became more and more intense.
Some people agree with peace talks and think that sending the princess and relatives can ease the relationship between the two countries;
Some people who oppose the main station believe that the North Vietnamese wolf ambition cannot give up the idea of going south just because of a mere marriage.
The dispute between the two sides was particularly fierce, and the quarrels in the court were a mess, and civil officials and military officials almost moved their fists.
But anyone who knows a little bit of political affairs can see that there is no conclusion yet, because the few people who can really control the matter have not expressed their opinions, and the current noisy is just a formality.
Looking at Emperor Jing Yuan on the dragon throne on the high place, he looked unfathomable. Finally, when the ministers were so quarreled that they raised their hands and said it coldly before discussing it.
That means no denial.
Many ministers in the court had figured out what Emperor Jingyuan meant. The news came back to the harem, and the princesses didn't know whether to be grateful or sympathized with them.
Although Ye Yu acted cautiously, her existence still made the entire harem unable to be ignored. She was the prince's sister and the only legitimate princess. Even if she was favored by the sixth princess Ye Mi, she could not surpass her.
Now this unparalleled princess who was born in the empress is about to marry far away from the bitter and cold places in the north. I heard that those Northern Vietnamese people slept in the wind and were eating raw meat and drinking blood. They were barbarians who did not understand the etiquette of the Central Plains at all. The beautiful flower of Princess Chaoyang went to the north, and I wonder how to grind and withered.
At this time, bursts of laughter came from the imperial concubine's palace.
Ye Mi is like a child lying on Concubine Zhou's knees and acts coquettishly, giggling so hard that she sways gently on her head.
Her beautiful face still has innocence that is ignorant of the world, but this innocence is mixed with indescribable ruthlessness.
Just like after listening to Ye Yu's possible future, she laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight on the spot.
Afterwards, he said with regret: "What a pity."
The tone is light and it’s a pity, but it only makes people see gloating.
Concubine Zhou patted her gently and blamed her: "Restraint, how about you being heard by others?"
Ye Mi fiddled with the tassels on her clothes indifferently: "Who can hear it? In my mother's palace, could it be that the slave in this palace dared to gossip out?"
She stared at the hall with a round eyes and glanced around. The maids of the palace lowered their heads in panic, not daring to look at the princess, for fear of being displeased, so they beat and scolded her.
Seeing this, Ye Mi became even more proud and thought she was very majestic.
"Mother naturally has a mother's reason, can't you listen carefully?"
The familiar voice sounded, and the seventh prince Ye Xu followed in and saw Concubine Zhou, and bowed her as if she was decent.
The boy's body grew a lot, his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Ye Mi, but he was obviously much more stable than Ye Mi. Only when he smiled, the dimples on his cheeks destroyed the calmness and added a little more youthful spirit and purity.
When Concubine Zhou saw her youngest son, she couldn't help but smile on her face, and quickly called him over and asked him about his well-being.
Ye Mi also jumped up from the ground in anger: "Ye Xu! How much older are you than me? You actually taught me a lesson!"
Ye Xu walked to her side slowly and glanced at her side: "It's also a big time to be bigger!"
Ye Mi was so angry that she twisted Concubine Zhou's arm and asked her to make the decision.
"Okay, okay, brother and sister don't quarrel. You are a mother and a compatriot, you should fall in love with each other."
Concubine Zhou pretended to be serious and scolded her, but she did not try to coax her daughter when she saw that she was so arrogant.
She called Ye Xu over and couldn't stop smiling: "I heard from the gentleman that my son has made progress in his studies recently..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw a red mark on Ye Xu's neck with sharp eyes. She was so shocked that she immediately stood up and said angrily:
"What's going on? Who hurts you?"
Ye Xu covered his neck and smiled awkwardly.
"I have been practicing sword skills with my martial arts master recently, but I accidentally got hurt. Seeing that the wound was not deep, I didn't treat it."
Concubine Zhou felt distressed and angry. If Ye Xu hadn't stopped him, he would have called his martial arts master to scold him to relieve his anger.
She was not satisfied with Ye Xu's neglect of the wound and asked the palace maid to bring the medicine for the wound and personally apply medicine for her beloved son.
The wound was not as relaxed as Ye Xu said. When he looked closer, his skin was extremely hideous when he opened it, but for some reason he didn't shed too much blood.
Concubine Zhou's eyes turned red and almost burst into tears.
Ye Xu also comforted her in turn, and did not stop until he made Concubine Zhou laugh.
Ye Mi next to him glanced at Ye Xu, humming twice in dissatisfaction, but did not dare to complain and found an excuse to leave.
When applying the medicine, Concubine Zhou also talked to Ye Xu about Princess Chaoyang’s marriage.
Ye Xu showed regret and sympathy: "However, with the princess here, I will definitely not let Princess Chaoyang get married, so my mother will be relieved."
Concubine Zhou said this not to express sympathy: "Xu'er... has always had a good relationship with your prince, brother, right?"
Ye Xu nodded, his eyes lit up astonishingly: "Brother Prince is a humble gentleman, quick-study and inquisitive, and even the teacher who taught me praised him. He is a role model I should learn from!"
Concubine Zhou pursed her lips and said softly: "No matter how good the prince is, Xu'er, don't forget who your real brother is."
Ye Xu turned around in confusion, as if he didn't understand what Concubine Zhou said.
Concubine Zhou was unwilling to use these things to disturb her son's simple and happy heart. She shook her head and said that it was nothing and wanted to expose the matter.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xu advised her: "If it really doesn't work, your mother can also help me say something. Your Majesty listens to his mother's words the most, and maybe he can change his mind?"
Concubine Zhou put away the jar of wound medicine and touched her son's soft head: "Silly child..." The emperor's heart is not that simple. The so-called obedient and favoritism is just because your mother's actions are in line with His Majesty's thoughts.
However, she still has to persuade her. At least she should take advantage of this matter and make good use of it.
Concubine Zhou's eyes flashed, and she didn't say anything after that.
There are many people like her who have different thoughts. The marriage between Princess Chaoyang is just a rumor, but it still untie the veil of peace on the surface, revealing the undercurrent under the lake.
All parties have different movements and their own calculations. Everyone has their own position and everyone has their own plans. It is like a densely weaved net. Any movement of a thread will involve the whole body.
There was unexpected peace inside and outside the court until a war report from the south broke the peace.
Nansheng, who had always been in trouble on the border under the false name of the bandits, could not hold back after several tests. He even slaughtered two border towns under the name of the bandits. The people were killed and injured, and even the baby was not spared.
Emperor Jing Yuan was furious, and the storm was coming.
Is it a dormant hiding, or is it soaring upward?
