The main hall outside was bustling with music and dancing, and the sweet sound of silk and bamboo reached the back hall, but it did not affect Wen Jiaojiao's sleep at all.
The entire Yingbang Palace banquet will last for several days. It is not just about eating and drinking, but also special exchanges such as culture and business from various countries, showing some of the characteristics of the country to Beiyuan. Beiyuan also uses songs, dances, poems and other forms.
Showing it to other countries is a kind of cultural exchange.
In addition to this, each country still wants to marry some Beiyuan women back.
However, Wen Jiaojiao and the others did not dare to propose marriage again.
In previous years, when they asked to marry a Beiyuan woman, the emperor usually would not refuse them directly, but would find a woman who was willing to marry Beiyuan instead.
But for Wen Jiaojiao, they did not want to find another woman. After a short search by their recruiters, they found out that this beautiful and weak girl was the sister of Queen Beiyuan. With this status, even being the queen of their country was not considered high.
.
Normally they would have had to argue with the emperor and it would have been a waste, but it happened that this year Nasara came to Beiyuan with them and asked to marry the Beiyuan girl they were interested in.
Even if the emperor did not reject them, they would not dare to speak again.
Except for the few small countries on the outermost edge of the country, the furthest away from Salo, and some foreign countries outside the Great Wall that have made peace with Beiyuan and established diplomatic relations with Beiyuan, the other countries have to make offerings to Salo every year. Naturally, they cannot rely on Salo.
Dare to rob someone from Salo.
If this woman really marries Beiyuan, based on her status, it is equivalent to Beiyuan marrying a princess to Salo.
One is the most powerful country in the Central Plains, and the other is the most powerful country in the northwest. In the eyes of others, Beiyuan and Salu are getting married.
Fortunately, the emperor and the woman's biological mother politely declined, and now everyone has tacitly agreed not to propose marrying Wen Jiaojiao.
Xiao Yurong sat in front of Wen Jiaojiao's bed, gently stroking her sleeping face, "What happened today really scared my mother. My mother will never let you get married so early. No matter who you are,
Will not work."
Doctors say that Jiao Jiao's body may only be able to survive until she is twenty years old at most. If all the famous doctors in the world still can't save Jiao Jiao, then her marriage won't matter anymore and she can be happy for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yurong felt heartbroken and couldn't hold back her tears.
Xiao Qingyu heard Xiao Yurong's words as soon as she came in. She asked Qingquan to put the food on the table, walked to Xiao Yurong, took her hand and brought her to the table to sit down.
"I heard from my aunt that my aunt hasn't even used the dinner. It's still early and it's still a long time before the dinner is over. My aunt should come in more."
Xiao Yurong took her hand out of Xiao Qingyu's hand and said, "I can't eat, and I'm not hungry."
When Xiao Qingyu saw her aunt like this, she knew that she was angry with her. She smiled and sat down next to Xiao Yurong, "Auntie is still angry with Qingyu?"
Xiao Yurong wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "I don't dare, I am the queen. How dare I be angry with the queen and hurt my wife."
Xiao Qingyu and Aunt Yao who were standing aside looked at each other and said with a smile: "Others always say that Jiao Jiao and I have similar temperaments. How can Jiao Jiao's temperament be similar to mine? I think her temper is obviously different from my aunt's.
Eight-pointed image."
Xiao Yurong raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Qingyu, then snorted softly.
"The Queen is joking. Jiaojiao has a soft temper. If he were like me, he would cause trouble in the palace today."
Xiao Qingyu took Xiao Yurong's hand: "I know my aunt is still angry that I didn't speak out about my proposal to marry Jiao Jiao in the hall today, because Qing Yu didn't want to stop it."
After hearing this, Xiao Yurong couldn't hold her breath in her heart again, "You...you treat Jiao Jiao as your own daughter, how could you bear to let her marry so far away?!"
Xiao Qingyu: "I don't want to get married now."
Xiao Yurong said loudly: "It's only a matter of time!"
"Shh! Auntie, please keep your voice down. Don't wake up Jiao Jiao. You are still speaking so loudly at your age."
Hearing Xiao Qingyu's words, Xiao Yurong clapped her hand angrily and lowered her voice: "Xiao Qingyu, don't think that I won't dare to discipline you now that you are the queen. I...I am still your aunt.
"
"Yes, yes, aunt~"
Aunt Yao on the side couldn't stand it any longer and said to Xiao Yurong: "Okay madam, please don't be angry with the queen. How could the queen really not speak up for the young lady? Even though the emperor refused today.
Envoys asking for marriage, but the Emperor also listens to the Queen’s words, not to mention that the Queen has been busy in the palace for a day today, Madam, please don’t be angry again.”
Xiao Yurong sighed softly, looked at the sleeping Wen Jiaojiao and said: "My Jiaojiaojiao has a hard life. I couldn't give her a healthy body. She has suffered from serious and minor illnesses since she was a child. I managed to raise her to such a big age, let alone marry her."
In the land of a great nation, even if I marry into the opposite family, I will not give up."
Seeing Xiao Yurong about to shed tears again as she spoke, Xiao Qingyu stroked her back and comforted her: "Okay, okay, I told you not to get married now."
Xiao Yurong looked at Xiao Qingyu suddenly: "In the future, in the future..."
"What's next?"
Looking at Xiao Qingyu's doubtful eyes, Xiao Yurong still suppressed the pain in his heart. If Qingyu knew about it, it would only make him sad and worried, but it would not make up for it.
What she could do was to search for famous doctors all over the world. The best imperial doctor in the palace also examined Wen Jiaojiao's pulse, and the conclusion she came to was not much different from other doctors.
She also asked the imperial doctor to hide the matter.
Xiao Qingyu saw that his aunt was hesitant to speak, and he didn't know what she was thinking, so he said: "Aunt, I didn't stop those envoys from marrying me before. It's not that I didn't think about Jiao Jiao. Didn't aunt think about it?
But, does Jiao Jiao really have no interest in one of them?"
Xiao Yurong was startled: "What do you mean?"
"Can't aunt understand what I'm saying?"
Xiao Yurong glanced at Wen Jiaojiao, leaned close to Xiao Qingyu and whispered: "Are you saying that our Jiaojiao has someone he likes? Or is it one of those envoys from the country?"
Xiao Qingyu: "Eight and nine are inseparable from ten."
"How could it be? With a temper like that of Jiao Jiao..." She doesn't think about anything else except eating and sleeping. Apart from getting closer to that boy from the Shen family before, she didn't see anyone she had any interest in.
Have a good impression.
Xiao Qingyu smiled and said: "With a temperament like Jiao Jiao's, even if she likes something, she doesn't know it herself."
Xiao Yurong was silent now. She never doubted Xiao Qingyu's words. Even if she was angry with her today, she knew that she would never harm Jiao Jiao.
If she likes it, she will never stop it, but her illness...
Xiao Qingyu looked at her suddenly silent aunt and thought to herself, Ah Wu, I can only help you so much. If I do more, I will be sorry for my aunt and Jiao Jiao.
In fact, Xiao Qingyu is not completely sure that Wen Jiaojiao is interested in Que Wu. After all, Jiaojiao is still young, and little girls are most likely to be deceived by some sweet words, especially Jiaojiao's temperament. Although it is not easy to be deceived, if she is sincere,
Treat, she is very easy to fall.
She believed that Que Wu would not deceive Jiao Jiao, because he was a Sala, and the tradition of the Sala and their character determined that they would treat the woman they liked wholeheartedly, and if they fell in love with a person, they would not change it for the rest of their lives.
But also because she is Que Wu, no woman can resist the way the Salo people love someone so passionately.
As long as she knew Que Wu's thoughts and looked at Jiao Jiao wearing the bracelet every day, she would have a clear understanding.
Sooner or later Jiao Jiao will understand his own heart.
