Chapter 29: Forced Marriage 2(1/2)
An Yunmo looked at Fu Pinghua and said in a cold voice.
"I have always made my own decisions about my marriage. I am afraid that the second prince asked the wrong person."
Fu Pinghua slightly cupped his hands towards An Yunmo.
"Of course I know, but our princess came here as a bride, so the regent must not want to ruin the friendly marriage between the two countries, right?"
There is a relationship between the two countries here. Seeing how An Yunmo refuses, even if the emperor does not issue the decree, the ministers of the DPRK and China will definitely criticize him.
An Yunmo's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he looked at Fuping Huadao with deep and sharp eyes.
"Did Fuguo recover from the battle five years ago?"
"What do you mean?"
"Literally, if Fuguo deliberately stirs up trouble, I will tell you that there are many people in the An Dynasty!"
In the war five years ago, no one lost or won. The environment at that time was such that no one wanted to delay it. The emperor and An Yunmo on the An Dynasty side were seriously injured, and they could not delay it due to limited food and troops, so everyone agreed
The war ceased and the two countries signed a peace agreement, so we have lived a peaceful life in the past few years.
An Yunsheng looked at the two people who were about to quarrel and persuaded them gently.
"Second Prince, don't get me wrong. Of course, Anchao and Fuguo must coexist peacefully. Nowadays, marriage is open, and marriages must be based on personal feelings, right?"
Liu Ruyun also echoed, "Second prince, this is not the case. The regent has just married the princess, and now the relationship between the two couples is very close, so it is inevitable that the words will be a little harsh. The princess of your country is extremely smart, decent and generous, and always
You can’t be aggrieved, right?”
Fuxiang heard what Liu Ruyun said and called him softly from the side.
"Second brother?"
Princess Fuxiang is unwilling to marry An Yunmo. She has heard about him on the way here. Now she doesn't know how long he can live. Why should she marry him? It's just that her second brother has to do this, and she
You can only obey orders.
Fu Huaping knew that An Yunmo was difficult to deal with, and he didn't expect to succeed even once. If this move didn't work, he would use the next one. Just for the scene just now, some people must have complained about An Yunmo?
His main purpose of coming to An Dynasty was to mess up the situation in An Dynasty. Only when the situation in An Dynasty was in turmoil could he have the opportunity to use his troops to An Dynasty and gain military exploits. With military exploits, he would be different in the eyes of his father.
, its status in Fuguo is also self-evident.
Therefore, rather than using Fuxiang to win over An Yunsheng or other princes, it is better to shake An Yunmo's position in the An Dynasty. If you can use Fuxiang to shake An Yunmo's position and win over other forces at the same time, it would be the best. According to him
As we know, the princes of the An Dynasty all regard An Yunmo as their enemy. The princes all want to be the emperor themselves. Maybe if he doesn't win over them, they will come to win over him. After all, the power behind him is not small.
Fu Pinghua smiled and said, "I was not thinking well and forgot that the regent of your country just married the princess."
With that said, he walked up to An Yunmo and Duan Qingqian, helped Pinghua look at Duan Qingqian and said.
"I have met the Princess Regent, Fu Pinghua. Just now I had the temerity to forget that the Princess and the Prince were newly married, and privately asked the Emperor for a marriage for my sister. Wouldn't the Princess Regent be offended?"
Duan Qingqian said lightly, "It's not strange. Princess Fuguo can enter the regent's palace. We are sisters, aren't we? There is nothing to be surprised about."
Fu Pinghua said blankly, "Of course it is."
But she had to go through the door. The regent princess was quite calm. It seemed that she was a little clever in escaping from Pang Jide, and she helped Pinghua silently return to her position.
Seeing that it was getting late, An Yunsheng said.
"It's getting late. The envoy to support the country has been traveling all the way. He must be tired. This is the end of the banquet."
The ministers stood up one after another and saluted, "Best farewell to the Emperor and Queen."
After An Yunsheng and Liu Ruyun left, the ministers also retreated one after another.
An Yunmo and Duan Qingqian were at the end. Fu Pinghua saw that An Yunmo didn't step forward and asked.
"The Prince Regent won't leave?"
Fu Pinghua's eyes glanced at the wheelchair beside him intentionally or unintentionally. An Yunmo's legs were fine. He was sitting on a low stool just like before. However, when he pushed the poison to his legs, his legs would become numb and weak, so he needed to sit.
wheelchair.
An Yunmo did not answer Fu Pinghua, but Fu Pinghua admitted that he stayed until the end just to see An Yunmo's joke. When I met him five years ago, he looked high-spirited, but now he has become a needy person.
A good-for-nothing in a wheelchair, he wanted to appreciate the decadent and desolate An Yunmo.
Duan Qingqian was walking beside An Yunmo, half-crouching, "Your Majesty."
An Yunmo understood, because this was a banquet, and A Si and the others were waiting outside. Waiting in the hall were all palace guards and maids. A Si knew that An Yunmo usually left last, and he would also be there.
After everyone else left, he came in. At this time, Asi had not come in yet.
An Yunmo put his hand on Duan Qingqian's shoulder, and with the help of Duan Qingqian's strength, he sat on the wheelchair. He didn't show any signs of losing his composure. He walked like running water, just as natural as normal things. Fu Pinghua wanted to see the decadence.
, the downcast An Yunmo is even less visible. An Yunmo is not affected at all.
After An Yunmo sat on the wheelchair, Duan Qingqian nodded slightly to Fu Pinghua, held the handle of the wheelchair and pushed An Yunmo out of the hall.
Fu Pinghua hesitated for a moment as he watched An Yunmo and Duan Qingqian go away. This was different from what he had imagined.
Fuxiang stepped forward and said, "Second brother, can you leave?"
Fu Xiang was a little afraid of Fu Pinghua, so she just sat there obediently when Fu Pinghua told him to wait before leaving.
"Let's go."
Three days later, everything was still going on normally. The most talked about thing in the streets and alleys at this time was An Yunmo's unwillingness to marry Princess Fuguo. Some people said that because Princess Fuxiang was a foreigner, An Yunmo was unwilling to marry; others said that An Yunmo was unwilling to marry Princess Fuxiang.
Because An Yunmo and Fuguo were enemies, how could he marry the enemy's daughter? Some people said that it was because the regent princess did not agree.
At the Regent's Palace, Duan Qingqian is being troubled by rumors. It is said that An Yunmo does not marry Fuxiang because of her. This is really wronging her. It is clearly An Yunmo who does not want to marry, so how can it be said that it has anything to do with her.
Duan Qingqian was troubled, but the maid next to her didn't see it that way, Xiao Xin said excitedly.
"Princess, why are you unhappy? Everyone outside says that the prince loves the princess so much that he will not marry Princess Fuxiang."
"Xiao Xin, what do you know? Although it is said outside that the princess is favored, but you see that the princess has been in the palace for more than a month, and the prince only came here on the wedding day, and did not stay overnight after that."
Xiaotang sees things a little too far, and the words he speaks are different from Xiaoxin, Duan Qingqian said helplessly.
"It's not what you think."
At this time Butler Jiang entered the room.
"I've met the princess."
"But trouble is coming?"
Duan Qingqian could guess that Butler Jiang must have something to do when he came to her yard.
"Is there an invitation from the palace?"
"Who invites?"
"It's the Queen Mother. The Queen and all the Emperor's concubines are here."
"Can I not go?"
"I'm afraid it won't work. The father-in-law who came here said that if the princess is inconvenient today, she can do it tomorrow. He will wait for the princess in the mansion."
"It's really troublesome. Just let him wait."
"Yes, Princess."
Ci'an Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Liu Ruyun sat next to Queen Mother Xu Jingyi, gently lowering her shoulders for her, while Xu Jingyi half-squinted her eyes and enjoyed it.
"Ruyun, you have met the regent princess a few times. How is she like?"
"She is... hard to say. I can't tell her depth."
"Really? You can't even tell?"
Xu Jingyi didn't believe it.
"My wife-in-law doesn't seem to have any scheming thoughts about her, but people outside are telling her how powerful she is, and my wife-in-law doesn't look like a human being."
"Really? The Ai family will have to take a good look at it later."
Xu Jingyi's slightly narrowed eyes were filled with fierceness.
Fu Guo is a big helper. They want to win over, and other princes also want to win over, but An Yunmo will not win over. Since Fu Pinghua is after An Yunmo's idea, then they will help him and let An Yunmo
It is better for Mo to marry Princess Fu Guo than to be won over by other princes.
Duan Qingqian came in from outside, her father-in-law shouted at the top of his voice, Xu Jingyi sat upright, and Duan Qingqian saluted respectfully.
Xu Jingyi stared at Duan Qingqian for a while before saying.
"Sit down."
Duan Qingqian lowered her head slightly and let Xu Jingyi stare.
"Thank you Queen Mother."
Duan Qingqian sat down without being humble or arrogant.
"Qian'er, do you mind if the Ai family calls you close to me like this?"
Duan Qingqian said gently, "It is Qian'er's blessing that the Queen Mother calls Qian'er like this."
