"Sister, the husband wants to choose an unmarried daughter from the clan. Daiwen is not from the clan and does not meet the husband's requirements." Xiyao said.
"Hold on!" Yunke suddenly said: "It doesn't have to be a girl from the clan. The reason why my husband chose girls from the clan is because girls from the clan are more likely to obey the court; but if there are others who are close to our family, they are also willing to listen to the court.
, it is not impossible to choose a woman who meets the conditions for a husband. And from the husband’s point of view, Dai Wen is indeed very suitable.”
The more Yun thought about it, the more he felt that Dai Wen was suitable. Needless to say, just saying that Dai Wen's nickname is Xiao Wu Zetian is enough to show that she meets Yun's requirements very well and is suitable to become the royal concubine of the King of Joseon.
"Husband, I think that Dai Wen is not very suitable." Xiyao said: "Although she is called the little Wu Zetian and is very consistent with my husband's requirements in some aspects, since she is Wu Zetian, how can she be willing to obey other people's orders? She will definitely do it.
After establishing a foothold in North Korea, I tried to get rid of the control of the Ming Dynasty. So I thought that Dai Wen was not suitable."
Xiyao does not want her niece to go to North Korea. Although she will nominally become the royal concubine of the North Korean king, it is second only to becoming the crown princess, which is very honorable. Being able to rule North Korea in the future is beyond the reach of ordinary princesses, so it seems like a good place to go.
But there is only one thing missing: the relationship between husband and wife. And this is also the reason why Xiyao does not want Xue Daiwen to become the princess of North Korea.
In Xiyao's view, as a woman, even if she becomes a princess, even if she is in charge of a country, but if there is no affection between husband and wife and no love, then what? Although Wu Zetian has become unprecedented and unprecedented.
The female emperor, but is she really happy? Xiyao doesn’t think so. Daiwen was granted marriage by the Ming Dynasty and became the Princess of Joseon. She will definitely be contradicted by Zhu, and she is destined to lose the love of her husband. Therefore, Xiyao is unwilling to kiss her niece and become the Princess of Joseon.
.
"North Korea and the Ming Dynasty are like candlelight and the bright moon. No matter how hard they struggle, they can never escape the control of the Ming Dynasty. Since Dai Wen is called Xiao Wu Zetian, she can naturally weigh the pros and cons accurately and know what to do. From her temperament,
In terms of ability, I cannot find a more suitable candidate for my husband than her."
"In other aspects, she is also the most suitable candidate. The reason why the husband was originally selected from the clan was because the girls in the clan were more likely to obey the court's words. But as Daiwen is your niece, the three generations of the Xue family will be favored by the court more than ordinary people.
The daughter of the clan is more obedient. And she is nineteen years old this year, only two years younger than Zhu, so her age is very suitable."
"One more point. If a clan girl is chosen to marry Zhu, it will make it clear that although her surname is Zhu, she is not a member of the Ming Dynasty clan. Later, if Wenyuan recognizes his son as his adopted son, it will also cause objections; Zhu Fangyuan first came to the throne more than ten years ago
At that time, I asked my husband to marry me to the Korean royal family, but my husband refused. If I let a girl from the clan marry Zhu now, it would also damage my husband's reputation. But if Dai Wen is allowed to marry Zhu, all of this can be avoided.
."
"So, my husband believes that Xue Daiwen is the most suitable candidate. I'm afraid I can't find a more suitable person even if I search the entire Ming Dynasty." Yun concluded.
Hearing Yun's words, Xiyao had nothing to say or argue. On the contrary, Xiyi understood the matter and said in surprise: "Husband, do you want Daiwen to go to North Korea to become a princess?"
"Why, you don't want to either?" Yun asked.
"Being a princess is a good thing. How can I not be willing to do so? However, I heard from a trance that the current monarch of North Korea already has a main concubine. Could it be that Daiwen should marry her and become a concubine? That would not be a good thing." Xiyi
Said again.
Yun laughed dumbly. Xiyi and Xiyao were completely different. First, it was because of their temperament, and secondly, as a queen, Xiyao had to know something about the government. Xiyi had occasionally heard about what happened in North Korea during this period.
, but I forgot about it after hearing it, and I couldn’t think of it at this time.
"Don't worry, Zhu Yuan's royal concubine has been deposed because of serious mistakes. Dai Wen is marrying as a concubine, not a side concubine." Yun replied with a smile.
"Since she is the royal concubine, that is a good thing. Why would my sister object?" Xiyi asked again.
"Sister, please stop talking!" Xiyao said angrily.
"Oh, yes, sister." Xiyi agreed and stopped talking.
What Xiyi said made Xiyao very angry, but it calmed down the slightly tense atmosphere between Xiyao and Yun. Xiyao asked her sister to sit down dumbfounded, turned her head and said to Yun: "Husband, since husband feels that Daiwen
She is very suitable to become the princess of Joseon. The male will lead the outside and the female will lead the home, and I can’t stop her. However, I will send someone to tell my father and eldest brother about it.”
"This is what it should be." Yun said: "Xiran is Daiwen's father, so naturally he must be informed of this matter; the father-in-law should also know where his granddaughter will marry. In addition, Daiwen herself must be informed of this matter.
.If she doesn’t want to, that’s it.”
"What if Daiwen herself doesn't want to?" Xiyao asked.
"Of course." Yun replied: "In fact, it is not very important whether the princess herself has the ability to govern the country. Her husband can send someone to assist her; the most important thing is whether she is willing to cooperate. If she wants to realize her husband's plan, the princess herself must
She must cooperate; if she does not want to become the princess of North Korea, even if she is forced to marry, she will be unwilling to cooperate. If she wants to control North Korea, it will be half the result. If she makes a fuss openly in the court, it will be even more detrimental to the Ming Dynasty. So if
It’s fine if Daiwen doesn’t want to.”
"I will immediately send someone to report this matter back to the Xue family." Xiyao said immediately.
"Don't be busy now. Xiran is still in Liujiagang. Send someone to call him back from Liujiagang and let us know when he comes back." Yin said.
"That's good." Xiyao felt that it was good for the whole family to know about this together and then reject it outright at the same time.
Seeing Xiyao's expression, Yun's mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing, just thinking in his heart: 'It may not be as you wish.'
…
…
"Dad." Dai Wen was surprised to see her father come home and shouted hurriedly.
"Dai Wen." Xue Xiran walked into the house, touched her eldest daughter's head, and said with a smile: "How is your family these days?"
"There is nothing going on at home these days. Dad, why did you come back suddenly?" Dai Wen asked.
"Your aunt suddenly sent someone to call me back, saying that she had something very important to talk to me about," Xiran said.
"Auntie has something to tell daddy? What is it?" Dai Wen asked.
"I don't know. The person who sent the message didn't say what this very important matter is." Xi Ran said. He was also a little confused: what exactly was he wanted to tell him this time?
Don’t even know?
At this time, a voice came from not far behind Dai Wen: "Ran'er, are you back?"
"Mother." Xiran immediately knelt down and said.
"Grandma." Dai Wen also saluted.
"Get up, get up. It's hard for you to come back from Liujiagang, why are you giving so many gifts?" Xiran's mother, Wang, said.
Xiran bowed again, stood up, and walked towards the house with her mother, talking at the same time. The reunion of mother and son after a long absence was a happy event, but Xiran felt strange: When she first saw me, her mother was very happy.
But why is the joy getting weaker and weaker?
He quickly got the answer. He helped his mother to his parents' residence in the backyard, and saluted his father when he saw him. Xue Ning gently patted his shoulder and taught him a few words, and Xi Ran hurriedly agreed.
At this time, his wife Wei, his brother Xue Xiyang and others all came here. Xiran was about to chat with them when he suddenly saw a eunuch walking in. He was also a classy eunuch in clothes. This eunuch was facing a room full of queens.
Her parents-in-law did not dare to take action. After bowing to everyone, they said: "The Queen has sent word a few days ago that she has something very important to tell. It's just because Commander Xue Du and Zhi Zhi are not here. Today, Commander Xue Du
The colleague has returned, and the matter can be discussed." He then took out a letter from his sleeve, respectfully walked to Xue Xiran and said: "Xue Du commanded the colleague, this important matter is written in it."
"What on earth is so mysterious?" Xiran muttered, took the letter from the eunuch, opened it and took a look, and was stunned. The eunuch hurriedly left the room.
"What's going on?" Seeing her husband's expression, his wife Wei couldn't help but ask.
Xiran came back to her senses, with an angry look on her face at first, and then became a little depressed, and said: "Your Majesty wants to make Dai Wen the princess."
"Is it a good thing to be a princess? Which prince should I marry?" Wei asked happily.
"King of Korea."
"What? King of North Korea?" The happy expression on Wei's face froze for an instant.
"That's the King of North Korea." Xiran said dejectedly and handed the letter to Wei.
Mrs. Wei hurriedly took the letter and read it for a few times, and the expression on her face became very ugly. She would not know what happened in the neighboring country, but she also understood that things in North Korea were making a fuss in the past few days.
However, I know that although there is currently a vacancy for the royal concubine in North Korea, it is definitely not a good thing to marry her.
"My son!" She couldn't help but hugged her daughter and cried. Of course she didn't want her daughter to marry to North Korea, but when she thought about it, although the decree had not been officially issued, since His Majesty had such thoughts, they
Can the family still object, and dare to object? Dai Wen will get married sooner or later. When thinking of this, Mrs. Wei felt sad and couldn't help but cry.
The expression on Daiwen's face was a little strange. When she first heard her father's words, she also showed a painful look on her face, but slowly, the expression on her face changed. Sometimes she seemed very angry, and sometimes she seemed a little regretful.
.I don’t know what she is thinking.
"How could this happen? How could Dai Wen be chosen? Is there no one of the right age in the clan?" Xue Xiyang shouted. "I want to go to the palace and ask my sister and brother-in-law what is going on!"
He turned to leave.
"Come back!" Xue Ning shouted. Xue Xiyang did not dare to go against his father's words, so he could only stop and turn around.
Are you my sister?"
"How could my son have such thoughts?" Xiyang said quickly.
"If you don't have such an idea, just stay at home!" Xue Ning said to Xiyang again, and then said to Wei: "Show me the letter."
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Wei handed a page of paper to her father-in-law. Xue Ning picked up her glasses and put them on, carefully read all the words on the paper, and said: "Although His Majesty has the intention of letting Dai Wen go to North Korea to become the king's wife, but
At the end of the letter, His Majesty said that if Daiwen herself does not want to, she may not go."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Wei immediately raised her head.
"Why are you all panicking?" Of course Xue Ning would not answer her daughter-in-law's words, but said: "The last few sentences are written clearly. If you read them from beginning to end, you will definitely be able to see them. You only read the first few sentences.
Just panic, how can you get things done by doing things this way? Xiran, you have been an official for almost twenty years, and you can’t even remember this!"
"My son has realized his mistake." Xiran immediately admitted his mistake. But even when he admitted his mistake, he still had a smile on his face. "Since Your Majesty has written it, if Daiwen would not force her to become the Princess of North Korea if she did not want to, then His Majesty would certainly
I won’t force Daiwen to do it.”
"I said that my brother-in-law would not harm Daiwen like this. Among the younger generations in our family, my brother-in-law likes Daiwen the most. How could he push her into a pit of fire?" Xi Yang also said with a smile.
"Okay, this matter is settled." Xiran said again: "Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see your majesty and tell your majesty that Dai Wen is not willing."
"That's right, let's go to the palace tomorrow and tell Daiwen that she doesn't want to." Mrs. Wei said quickly.
"It is really the son's fault that he has disturbed his parents and disturbed their rest because of their grandchildren. My son will go back now. Come back tomorrow to say hello to your parents." Xiran saluted her parents again and was about to leave with Mrs. Wei and Daiwen.
In this courtyard, Xiyang also hurriedly bowed and excused himself.
"Slow down." Xue Ning said: "In the letter, His Majesty said that Dai Wen was unwilling, not that you yourself said Dai Wen was unwilling, so you can't go. You must ask Dai Wen herself about this matter.
mean."
"My son knows." Xiran heard her father say this. Although she felt that it was unnecessary, she still turned to her daughter and asked: "Are you willing to go to North Korea and become a princess?"
But to his expectation, Dai Wen was silent for a while and whispered: "My daughter is willing to go to North Korea."
