The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

At this time, Yu Wenhu gave Concubine Qiao a straight face. He took a sip of the tea brought by Meng Wenyao and said calmly: "Today the envoy from the Southern Tang Dynasty came into the palace and said that they wanted to marry our seventh princess for their prince. Their prince She is only 12 years old, and the age difference between her and our seventh princess is the smallest, so it is the seventh princess they are asking to marry."

Concubine Qiao's face instantly turned pale. She only had one daughter. How could she be the princess in marriage? Seeing how hard Meng Lan had to live her life, she knew how difficult it was to be the princess in marriage.

She hadn't experienced such a powerless moment for a long time. She opened and closed her mouth for a long time without saying a suitable word.

Meng Wenyao, who was sitting aside, hid her smile with her hands. The gift she gave to Concubine Qiao was indeed very important.

"So, our seventh princess will become the crown princess when she marries, and it will also strengthen the marriage between the two countries. This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people!"

"Your Majesty, look, the concubine is so excited that she doesn't even know how to speak."

Concubine Qiao slowly calmed down and said with trembling lips: "Your Majesty, you also know that Jing'er is a bit arrogant and went to Southern Tang. What if she doesn't get along with the Southern Tang Crown Prince and ruins the diplomatic relations between the two countries? ?”

"Oh, the concubine is worried too much. She is the former concubine in our East Palace. When I was in the East Palace, I heard that she was a woman in the Southern Tang Dynasty who could go into battle, bend a bow and shoot arrows. Do you think you have seen us? In the Northern Wei Dynasty, the clothes were not gentle and demure.

Our seventh princess is still young now. As long as the concubine teaches her more, in a year and a half, she will definitely grow into a lady with the temperament of a lady. Don’t you think so, Your Majesty? "

Meng Wenyao directly asked the question to Yu Wenhu, eliminating the chance for Mrs. Qiao to refute again.

Yu Wenhu played with the jade in his hand carelessly. He was worried that Yu Wenjing had a bad temper before, but when Meng Wenyao talked about Meng Lanxin's incident, he felt that Yu Wenjing went to Southern Tang Dynasty, and maybe he really didn't dare to act like this. .

After all, Yu Wenjing had been submissive in the harem for more than ten years. It was only after he ascended the throne that Yu Wenjing began to become domineering.

In the future, when I go to the Southern Tang Dynasty and have no one to rely on, I may be able to return to the past.

What's more important is that he can only have children with Princess Xixia. His marriage with Southern Tang Dynasty was already a bit unstable. If Yu Wenjing marries her, it will make up for his shortcomings.

He smiled and patted Meng Wenyao's head, saying dotingly: "Yao Yao is right."

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Qiao said in a tearful tone.

"I have been living in the harem for half my life, and I only have one daughter. I will rely on her to support me in my next life. If you let her get married, wouldn't it cost me my life?"

Concubine Qiao's pity successfully made Yu Wenhu frown.

Meng Wenyao was immediately wrinkled by Yu Wenhu, and said with some displeasure: "What did the concubine say? You will still have the emperor for the rest of your life. Although you are not the emperor's biological mother, after the emperor ascends the throne, he will treat you like his biological mother." Filial piety, what you said, let alone the emperor, makes the slaves feel chilled when they hear it."

"Besides, as a princess, being supported by all the people means making sacrifices for the welfare of all people. The princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the future princess of Xixia can get married. Why can't we, the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, get married? Princess, you are too petty. Well, you are not an ordinary mother, you are the concubine of the Northern Wei Dynasty. You should not only look at your own immediate interests, but also consider the entire Northern Wei Dynasty."

When the leader is obviously unhappy, the confidants will be even more angry than the leader and will say what they want to say for the leader in order to preserve the leader's dignity.

After she finished speaking, she saw the smile in Yuwenhu's eyes getting thicker, and she knew that what she said had reached Yuwenhu's heart.

Meng Wenyao asked coquettishly: "Your Majesty, are you right?"

Yu Wenhu was very satisfied that Meng Wenyao had made a sharp knife in his hand and prevented him from personally putting pressure on Concubine Qiao. He praised: "It is rare for a palace maid from Yaoyao to understand righteousness better than Concubine Qiao."

After hearing this, Mrs. Qiao slumped down on the armchair and almost cried: "Your Majesty, I treat you like my own son. Don't push Jing'er out for a kiss, okay? Jing'er is my lifeblood. , how can I live without him!"

"Don't be sad, Princess. We know that you love the Emperor as if you were your own child, but you think that even though the Emperor has been a hostage in Xixia for many years, you are still alive and well. This shows that time can heal everything.

Now that you suddenly heard that the Seventh Princess is going to get married, you may not be able to accept it for a while, but as time goes by, you will still be able to live well, right? "

"What's more, the seventh princess is going to get married, not like the emperor, who went to Xixia as a hostage. Why are you crying? How can the emperor harm his own sister?"

Concubine Qiao was dumbfounded now. She couldn't even cry anymore. The more she worried about Yu Wenjing, the more she highlighted her cold-blooded hostility to the emperor.

She stopped the tears in her eyes and forced a smile: "I, I just heard about this and felt uncomfortable for a moment."

Knowing that she would make many mistakes now, Mrs. Qiao quickly changed the subject and said, "I'll go see Jing'er first and tell her the good news."

Seeing Mrs. Qiao being helped away with empty steps, Meng Wenyao wanted to jump up for joy. She smiled wildly, but suddenly found that Yu Wenhu was still beside her, and she had to restrain her gloating expression.

"Your Majesty, is the Seventh Princess really going to marry into the Southern Tang Dynasty?"

Yuwenhu pinched Meng Wenyao's nose and said with a smile: "What, you don't want the seventh princess to marry?"

This question really revealed Meng Wenyao's little thoughts.

"Oh, what I just said to persuade the concubine was from the perspective of the court, but from a personal standpoint, the concubine is very good to me after all. I really can't bear to leave the concubine and feel sad."

Yu Wenhu could understand this feeling very well. He said solemnly: "How could I want the concubine to fall in love with me? Unfortunately, the Southern Tang Dynasty has a tough attitude and insists that as long as the seventh princess gets married, otherwise they will not agree to the marriage between the former crown concubine and me."

"I'm afraid you don't know. My body is a little damaged and it will be difficult for me to have any heirs in the future. If I have no heirs after marrying the princess of Southern Tang Dynasty, the marriage is not strong enough after all. Being able to marry a princess to Southern Tang Dynasty will make the interests of the two countries more stable. .”

As expected, he is an emperor, and his eyes are full of interests. However, as a sleeping slave, Meng Wenyao could only pretend to be surprised and said: "How can it be difficult for the emperor to have heirs?"

She looked at Yu Wenhu affectionately and said sincerely: "You are so lively in bed, you must have planted the child in my slave's belly. I have dreamed of Guanyin Bodhisattva giving birth to my child every night these past two nights."

"Hahaha."

Even though he knew it was a coaxing statement, Yu Wenhu couldn't help but laugh. He said dotingly: "You don't even care about lying. You haven't been able to sleep at night these two nights. How did you dream?"
