Chapter 105 It turns out that he was afraid of his daughter-in-law
According to his understanding of his second brother, he would never talk about Beiyan's affairs without reason. Once he mentioned it, it meant that there must be something wrong with it.
Sure enough, Xiao Feng acquiesced to his guess, thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "Although Beiyan has few villains and few people, the King of Beiyan is not a person who wants to be subordinate to others. In order to let us send troops to support, they were forced to
He had no choice but to sign the surrender agreement. Now that Beiyan's crisis has been resolved, King Beiyan may have some thoughts in his heart, otherwise, Prime Minister Beiyan would not be so eager to take Princess Nishang back."
Xiao Shen immediately became angry: "This is unreasonable! They are trying to burn bridges by crossing the river and want to regret it? Humph, there is no way!"
Xiao Feng gave him a look, indicating that he should calm down first, and then said: "The agreement has been signed. If they want to go back on their word, we are not afraid of fighting them again. However, we have spent a lot of money fighting Tianxu Yanye this time.
There are too many financial resources, and Qingzhou and Gangzhou have been experiencing natural disasters in the past few years. It costs a lot of money just to resettle the refugees every year. Now the national treasury is empty, and I am afraid that it cannot withstand another war."
After hearing this, Xiao Shen finally calmed down the anger in his heart and looked worried: "What should we do? Are we really going to kick us away just after seeing Beiyan finish using us?!"
"So I plan to keep Princess Nishang. Isn't she the most beloved daughter of King Beiyan? If I keep her as a hostage, King Beiyan will not dare to act rashly."
It turned out that this was the purpose of letting him marry Yan Nichang! Xiao Shen understood, but still worried: "The King of Beiyan has several daughters. Will he really give up the idea of regretting it just for the sake of this little daughter?"
"Why do you think King Beiyan loves Princess Nishang so much? She is the only flesh and blood left by Queen Beiyan. The relationship between Queen Beiyan and King Beiyan is extraordinary. Since the death of Queen Beiyan, King Beiyan has no plans.
Then appoint another woman as the queen. In addition, Queen Beiyan's natal family is a loyal family with three generations of iron-blooded soldiers. Her family has a very high reputation in Beiyan. If the King of Beiyan can really ignore the safety of Princess Nishang, I am afraid that Beiyan will
The subjects will not agree. When the time comes to cause public dissatisfaction and shake the foundation of the country, King Beiyan will really lose more than he gains." At this point, Xiao Feng raised the corner of his mouth, his handsome face was as calm as the sea, "King Beiyan
Although he is a bit older, he is not an idiot and he still understands the importance of this."
Xiao Shen couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "I really can't believe that Princess Nishang's status in Beiyan is so important. Second brother, we have to find a way to detain her."
"I originally planned to let her stay in Wushuang City in the name of getting married, but it's a pity that you don't want to marry her. Now that the plan has been disrupted, I have to find another way," Xiao Feng looked helpless. The reason why he chose Xiao Shen
In addition to being Xiao Shen's prince, he wanted to be this consort because Xiao Shen was his most trusted brother and would not have any worries. If it were Xiao Yun or other brothers, he would be very worried. Although Beiyan is a small country
, but according to the importance of Princess Nishang in Beiyan, her consort will definitely get a lot of help in Beiyan in the future.
Xiao Yun has always been eyeing his position as the prince, and he will never let Xiao Yun pick up this piece of cake, nor will he let other brothers have this opportunity to increase their strength.
After much calculation, only Xiao Shen was the most suitable for this position, but despite all his calculations, he never expected that Xiao Shen already had someone in his heart who was unwilling to agree to this marriage.
Xiao Feng stared at Xiao Shen for a while, then his cold eyes moved slightly: "I can understand your feelings towards Cabbage, and I don't object to you wanting to marry her, but this does not conflict with marrying Princess Nishang. Princess Nishang
She is the main concubine, and Cabbage is the side concubine. It is a beautiful thing to have two beauties at once and enjoy the blessings of both."
"Don't, don't, don't!" Xiao Shen immediately waved his hands with a horrified expression, as if he was not asking him to get married, but to die, "My good second brother, please spare my younger brother this time! I'm not afraid either.
You're joking, let me tell you the truth. I don't know who said bad things about me and Princess Nishang in front of Cabbage last time. Cabbage was so angry that she scolded me, and she still hasn't forgiven me yet!"
Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and his handsome face was as dazzling as the moonlight: "I didn't know that you were originally afraid of your wife? But then again, before you two have anything to do with each other, Cabbage takes you so seriously, just in case you marry another one in the future.
When the princess goes back, aren't you afraid that Cabbage will make trouble with you?"
When he saw Xiao Shen about to express his feelings, he turned his eyes and stopped Xiao Shen's words: "Don't tell me that you will only marry cabbage as a concubine in the future. This is impossible. Father and Concubine Duan will never
I won’t agree. Don’t even say that you want to go against your parents and elders for Cabbage. If it gets serious, you will be guilty of disobedience and unfilial piety. From now on, not to mention you, even Cabbage will be in bad luck.”
Xiao Shen's eyes slowly dimmed. Although he didn't want to admit it, what Xiao Feng said was true and he had to think about it seriously.
The topic suddenly returned to the matter of relationships, and the atmosphere became silent for a long time. Finally, Xiao Feng spoke first: "Go to Cabbage and have a good talk. I don't think she is an idiot. Since she can like you, she probably won't."
I don’t understand your difficulty. If she really insists on having her own way, it means that she doesn’t want to consider you. Such an ignorant girl is not worthy of your efforts for her."
What he said was completely from Xiao Shen's perspective. If it were for Cabbage, it was obviously unfair. But there was nothing he could do. He and Xiao Shen were brothers. How could he not think about Xiao Shen?
For whose sake?
Xiao Shen was silent for a long time, and then whispered: "I'll have a good talk with Cabbage later."
Immediately, he hurriedly stated his position: "But I still can't marry Princess Nishang. I've heard about all the good things she did with you, and she even went so far as to bring trouble in front of my father! Such an ignorant woman, even if
No matter how beautiful you are, I can't bear it, so you should leave it to others!"
A royal concubine can be married, but she must not be a woman like Yan Nichang. If he really puts her in the backyard, it will be like placing a time bomb next to him. Who knows whether she will suddenly explode?!
For the sake of his and his family's safety, he must stay away from Yan Nichang, the piranha!
Xiao Feng frowned slightly and looked solemn: "Even you know about Princess Nishang. I'm afraid the boss has also received the news. We must not let him take advantage of it, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future."
Xiao Shen rolled his eyes and asked excitedly: "Second brother, since Princess Nishang likes you so much, you might as well just follow her, so that the wealth will not flow to outsiders!"
"I can't marry her," Xiao Feng lowered his eyes, his handsome face as cold as ice, "My status is quite special, and I absolutely cannot marry her as my concubine. None of her virtues can meet the standards of the future mother of the country.
Even if she is an ordinary concubine, she is the first woman with a formal status in the East Palace. Her status in the future must not be too low. But as she is, arrogant and arrogant, and has a very vicious heart, if she is really allowed to stay in the harem
Here, I'm afraid that the whole palace will fall out with her, and her identity is very sensitive, so I can't even deal with her."
After Xiao Shen heard these reasons, he couldn't help but wink: "You are actually worried that Xiaolezi will not want you after you take the concubine, right?"
Xiao Feng glanced at him calmly and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
He hasn't let Xiao Lezi give up on him yet. If he wants to marry another woman, she will definitely leave him without hesitation according to her weird temperament.
Xiao Shen laughed and gloated: "You also said that Cabbage is ignorant, but I think Xiao Lezi is not much better. This will be something to watch from now on!"
"Okay, stop talking about these troublesome things and think about how to deal with Princess Nishang."
Xiao Shen spread his hands helplessly: "Anyway, neither of us can marry her now. We can only think about whether there are other suitable candidates. This person must be of the same age, have a clean and reliable family background, must not have party affiliation in the court, and have the best personality."
It’s better to be tough and don’t let Princess Nishang get hold of her. The most important thing is that even if this person can’t be used by us, he can’t have anything to do with the boss and the others!”
What he said is all right, but how easy is it to find such a person in such a short time?!
At this moment, Eunuch Xia stood at the door and lowered his head and said: "Your Royal Highness, the censor Song Huaishu is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Song Huaishu?
Xiao Feng and Xiao Shen were both stunned. An idea flashed in Xiao Shen's mind and he slapped his thigh: "I think this Song Yushi is very good!"
Xiao Feng's cold eyes flickered, neither agreeing nor expressing displeasure, he simply ordered: "Please come in, Song Yushi."
"yes."
After Eunuch Xia left, Xiao Shen paced back and forth in the study, with the corners of his mouth raised, obviously very excited: "Song Huaishu was the number one scholar in the new subject last year. Not only was he very good-looking, he was also very talented and learned, and his temper was...
He is notoriously smelly and tough, and the old guys in the court are all afraid of him. In addition, his father treats him very highly, and there is no partisanship. He is simply the most suitable candidate to become Princess Nishang's consort!"
Presumably because of his excitement, Xiao Feng seemed much calmer and calmer: "You also said that Song Huaishu has a very tough temper. If he refuses to agree to marry Princess Nishang, there is nothing we can do against him."
"Why don't you agree?" Xiao Shen stopped and said, "How many men dream of marrying Beiyan's most favored little princess? If he marries her, his future will be very brilliant. This kind of dream comes from heaven.
Only a fool would refuse the good thing about pie!"
Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "If he were the kind of man who could compromise for the sake of his future, he wouldn't become a thorn in the old guy's side just to fight corruption."
Hearing this, Xiao Shen was silent.
At this time, Song Huaishu walked in, knelt down and saluted: "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness, the fifth prince."
Xiao Feng raised his hand: "No need to be polite, just sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Your Highness," Song Huaishu lifted up his clothes and knelt down on the cushions. The winking little eunuch immediately made him a cup of tea.
Song Huaishu didn't say much nonsense and said straight to the point: "Weichen came here this time for matters related to the Ministry of Revenue. You asked Weichen to go home and wait for news. Weichen has been waiting at home for more than a month, but he still hasn't arrived.
It’s because of your summons that I took the liberty to disturb you.” (To be continued)
