Chapter 308 of the Ruyi Little Man Chapter 308: The Emperor is Ruthless Tang Ning has met many princes from the Chen royal family, including Prince Duan, Prince Kang, and Prince Huai. Not to mention their character and abilities, based on ordinary people's aesthetics
Look, their looks are also outstanding.
Even Prince Run, who has a broad heart and a fat body, is quite handsome in appearance. Before he lost weight, he had already attracted the attention of many palace scholars. Once he loses weight, he will surely be a big scourge to the capital.
The concubines who can be included in the harem are all beauties carefully selected from major families. From generation to generation, it is not easy for the royal family to produce a few weird and cracked dates.
Although the princess Zhao Yingying has a bit of a bad temper, her appearance cannot be criticized. She looks petite and cute, although she is actually not petite or cute at all.
On the first day of the New Year, she put light makeup on her face, wore a pleated Ruyi moon skirt, and a Lingxu bun. The crystal light in her hair was shining. I don’t know how many beads she had on her hairpin. Her whole body was...
It seems to have a more bulingbuling feeling.
Zhao Man was dressed beautifully this morning. She wanted to show off, so she came over to block Tang Ning, but she didn't expect him to be indifferent.
She was slightly annoyed and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, I'm talking to you!"
I have to say that regardless of her princess temperament, Zhao Yingying can be regarded as a little beauty. Tangning came back to her senses and nodded: "Good-looking."
Normally, he might have hit her a few times, but today he didn't have that intention.
Just now, the Chu State envoy asked for marriage on the spot. Although Chen Huang did not give an immediate reply, Tang Ning was not the first brother who had just entered the court. If Chen Huang did not agree, he would definitely reject it on the spot, "We will discuss it later".
, even if it does not mean that he agrees, it means that there is still room for discussion on the matter.
She is so happy now that when she hears the news, she may just cry.
"You have a good sense." Zhao Man was finally satisfied. She turned the corner of her skirt and said, "This is fabric from Jiangnan. It is made by the maid with the best craftsmanship in the palace."
After showing off her new clothes and getting the results she wanted, Zhao Man waved her hand generously and said: "Okay, you must be very tired after standing for so long in the morning. Go back and rest."
"I'm not tired." Tang Ning shook her head. Although he and Zhao Yingying had some disagreements at first, they are now considered friends. It seemed a bit unreasonable to abandon her at this time.
He looked at Zhao Man and asked: "Princess, are we friends?"
Zhao Man glanced at him and said: "Barely, it will be an advantage for you to be my princess's friend."
Tangning looked at her and asked, "Since we are friends, can I ask the princess a question?"
Zhao Man said casually: "Ask."
Tangning thought for a while and asked, "What kind of person does the princess want to marry in the future?"
Zhao Man's face turned red, "Why do you ask this?"
Tangning waved her hand and said, "I'm just curious. If the princess finds it inconvenient, just forget it."
"Forget it, what's the inconvenience of saying this?" Zhao Man thought for a while and said generously: "The person I want to marry is better-looking than you, better in literary talent than you, and better in martial arts than you.
The most important thing is that you won’t always be angry with me like you..."
Tang Ning finally understood why she still couldn't get married. The person she liked didn't exist in this world. If she didn't lower her standards a little, she would only be an old girl for the rest of her life.
"Why did you suddenly ask me this?" Zhao Man seemed to realize something, and suddenly looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
At this point, there was no point in making insinuations. Tangning could only tell the truth.
He looked at Zhao Man and said, "I heard some news during the court meeting just now."
Zhao Man's heart skipped a beat and she immediately asked, "What's the news?"
"The envoys from Chu State came to Beijing a few days ago..." Tangning paused before continuing: "They came to propose to His Majesty."
Zhao Man was startled at first, and then his face immediately turned pale.
She was the only unmarried princess of the royal family's age. Who else could they ask for a hand in marriage?
He looked at Tang Ning, raised his hand and hit him, and said, "Don't scare me. If you scare me, I, I will let my father hit you..."
She said threatening words, but her voice became lower and lower.
Tang Ning sighed softly and said, "At the court meeting just now, the Chu envoy has formally proposed for marriage, but His Majesty has not agreed yet."
Zhao Man stood there blankly for a moment, then quickly ran towards the imperial study room.
Tang Ning watched her disappear, sighed again, turned around and took two steps, then stopped and stood still.
At the door of the royal study, a eunuch stopped Zhao Man and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, please wait a moment, I will go and inform your Majesty..."
Zhao Man pushed him away, pushed open the palace door with all her strength, and strode in.
Chen Huang sat at the table, looked up at her, and asked: "Man'er, what do you want from me?"
Zhao Man raised her head and said in a trembling voice: "Does your father want to marry me to the Chu Kingdom?"
Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "I and the courtiers will discuss this matter carefully. You can wait for news in the palace."
Zhao Man trembled and suddenly felt cold all over.
How could she not understand the meaning of the discussion? What they were discussing was not whether she should marry or not, but what benefits and bargaining chips the court could get from her marriage...
She knelt on the ground and said sadly: "Father, I don't want to marry to the Chu Kingdom..."
"How can national affairs be trivial?" Emperor Chen looked at her and said, "You are not only my daughter, but also the princess of the Chen Kingdom. The marriage between the two countries will be of great benefit to the country. How can I abandon the entire country because of you?
regardless of?"
Zhao Man raised his head and looked at the man above the hall. He could no longer see any shadow of his former father.
"When you marry the Chu State, you will become the queen of the country, and they will not treat you lightly." Huang Chen walked to her side, said something in a deep voice, and strode out of the imperial study.
Wei Jian walked to the hall, paused in his steps, sighed softly, and then walked out of the hall.
…
Tang Ning waited there for a long time before she saw Zhao Man walking out in despair, swaying like a zombie with his soul removed.
The emperor is ruthless. In the heavenly family, brother-killing and father-killing often occur, and family affection in the human world is even rarer.
The marriage between Chen and Chu was related to the relationship between the two countries in recent years. Sacrificing the happiness of a princess' marriage was not considered a choice at all from the emperor's point of view.
Seeing Zhao Man walking over in a daze, Tang Ning sighed and said softly: "Princess, things are not settled yet. Maybe there will be a turn for the better, so you don't have to be too sad..."
Zhao Man raised her head and realized that he was still standing there, feeling aggrieved as if she had found an outlet. She buried her head on his shoulder and cried "Wow".
"Father really wants to marry me to the Chu Kingdom..."
"Father doesn't like me anymore, wuwuwu..."
"I don't want to marry into Chu State, you crow's mouth, crow's mouth, oooooo..."
…
Zhao Man was really sad, and her "嘤嘤嘤" turned into "woo woo woo". While crying, she hit Tang Ning's chest with her small fists.
Fortunately, this place is relatively remote, the courtiers have dispersed, and no eunuchs or maids passed by, otherwise they would have thought he had done something to her...
Princesses also have the same helplessness as princesses. They are well-dressed, well-fed, and prosperous. But when the country needs it, a piece of edict will send them across thousands of mountains and rivers, and they may never have the chance to come back in this life.
The area on Tangning's chest was wet with her tears in a short while, and he could only pat her shoulder gently.
Zhao Man raised her head, looked at him with tearful eyes, and said, "You are so smart, is there any way to prevent me from getting married?"
Zhao Man rarely praised him for being smart, but Tang Ning really didn't have any good solutions for this matter.
Both countries are happy to facilitate this matter, and there is almost no force majeure, unless the prince of Chu suddenly dies, Emperor Chen dies suddenly, the Emperor of Chu dies suddenly, the two countries go to war, and Zhao Yingying becomes pregnant...
Any of these things is almost impossible to happen.
Looking at her expectant eyes, Tangning could only helplessly shake her head.
