Make peace with the Lord of the Prairie

"Brother, I want Mingheng." When Tuobahong said this, his eyes were firm.

He Zexi looked at his younger brother for a long time before sighing helplessly: "You really look like Daddy."

The two brothers called He Jinnian Daddy and Tuoba Rongyu Father.Gein He Jinnian has a lively personality and loves his two sons very much, and the relationship between the brothers and him is even closer.But Tuoba Rongyu is cold by nature, and although he loves the two brothers, one of the brothers is destined to inherit the grassland in the future, so Tuoba Rongyu has raised his sons as heirs since they were born, and he is always strict with the two sons. Much harsher.At that time, the two brothers were still young and did not understand the good intentions of their father. They only felt that their father loved them less than their father, so they called him father angrily. Compared with father, the word father seemed much colder.

Speaking of which, He Jinnian and Tuoba Rongyu have completely different personalities.He Jinnian was born in a prominent position. As the youngest son in his family, he didn't have a heavy burden of responsibility on him, so he lived a carefree life, and he naturally developed a free-spirited temperament.On the other hand, Tuoba Rongyu is introverted and deep, with a somewhat indifferent temperament. Before meeting He Jinnian, he was like a lone wolf, indifferent, closed and unhuman. Afterwards, under the influence of He Jinnian, he gradually became more human. .

And their two sons are like two fathers.He Zexi is indifferent to others, ruthless and desireless, he is a complete copy of Tuoba Rongyu.And Tuobahong is open-minded and bold, daring to love and hate.In order to get Mingheng, he even sacrificed land and gave away horses, which is quite like He Jinnian's desperation to elope with Tuoba Rongyu back then.

Seeing that his younger brother was so determined, He Zexi knew that there was no room for change in this matter.Moreover, with the matter at this point, how can he persuade his younger brother to give up—after all, he even has a child.

They themselves are children born by men, and they understand the difficulties and sorrows of men's childbirth best, so they naturally don't want their nephews to lose a father when they are born.

But having said that, what kind of reaction will Ming Heng have when he knows the truth?Will he accept this flesh and blood conceived by a man?

When He Zexi came, he was furious, but when he left, he was full of sadness.He disguised himself as a servant and sneaked in through the back door. Naturally, he couldn't openly walk through the front door when he left.

Tuobahong personally sent him to the back door.He put on the fox-fur coat again. The wide and bloated coat perfectly covered his slightly protruding belly, and nothing unusual could be seen.However, He Zexi couldn't control his gaze down, staring worriedly at the belly covered by the jacket, and after a long silence he said: "It is estimated that His Majesty will make a decision on the marriage in a few days."

Tuobahong raised the corner of his mouth, showing a determined smile, and said firmly: "He will agree."

He Zexi acquiesced, after all, whether it was ten thousand horses or north of Taze, it was not a small temptation.In the history of marriage marriages, no princess has ever been treated like this.

"Tomorrow... my father will enter the palace to discuss the marriage with His Majesty." He Zexi paused slightly, closed his eyes, and said the second half of the sentence with great difficulty, "I will also ask my father to agree to the marriage."

"Brother..." Tuobahong turned his head, his expression surprised, "You agreed?"

He Zexi snorted, and said angrily, "Can I still not agree now?"

Tuobahong smiled deeply, his eyebrows and eyes concealed behind the mask slightly curved, his smile was clear and handsome: "Thank you brother."

He Zexi warned with a sullen face: "Don't be too happy too soon. Even if His Majesty agrees to get married, His Highness the Sixth Highness may not give in. Take ten thousand steps back and say, even if you really get married, what will happen next? How do you hide your identity? How do you explain the child?"

Tuoba Hong didn't care, and said to himself: "As long as Mingheng agrees to go back to the grassland with me, I believe these will not be a problem. I will definitely let him stay in the grassland willingly!"

"Whatever you want!" He Zexi snorted angrily and left after saying this.

The days passed day by day, and it had been five days since Tuoba Hong entered Beijing.During the five days, Emperor Qianyuan entertained Tuobahong every day.The two chatted very happily, and the relationship became more and more intimate visible to the naked eye.

Although these days, neither Emperor Qianyuan nor Tuoba Hong mentioned the matter of getting married again, but Ming Heng knew in his heart that he would most likely want to marry him.Therefore, in the next few days, Emperor Qianyuan asked him to meet with Tuobahong several times, but he did not resist at all, and was very obedient.

So in the eyes of outsiders, Ming Heng seems to have resigned himself to this ridiculous marriage.

And at yesterday's dinner, Emperor Qianyuan promised to Tuobahong in public that he would give Anling a choice in three days, which also indicated that the marriage marriage that had been stalemate for nearly half a month was about to come to an end.

As the appointed day approached, the Chonghua Palace became more and more gloomy day by day.In the afternoon of this day, Ming Heng woke up from a nap, Xiao Fan came in to change his clothes, his eyes were red, when he saw him, he knelt down on the ground, hugged his legs and cried loudly: "Your Highness, what will you do in the future! "

The cry was earth-shattering, and Ming Heng's head, which was still not sober, was instantly sobered by the cry. He lifted the man from the ground with the collar of the small fan, and asked dumbfoundedly: "Your Highness is not dead, why are you so good?" Just started crying? Don’t cry anymore, your face is covered with snot and tears, it’s so ugly.”

Under the warning of her master, the little fan didn't dare to cry any more, and tried her best to cover her mouth tightly, but because she was crying so sadly, her body still trembled.

Ming Heng shook his head and laughed, sitting on the edge of the bed and asked lazily: "What were you crying for?"

The little fan wiped away tears with the back of his hand, and replied sobbingly: "The slave just passed the imperial study, and heard two little eunuchs who are serving His Majesty chatting."

Ming Heng had the bottom line in his heart, and asked calmly: "What did you hear?"

"My servant listened to what they said—" Little Fan stammered, "Your Majesty summoned Duke Wei and Prime Minister Wei today to discuss a marriage."

Ming Heng's expression was as calm as usual, and he asked calmly, "How was the result?"

"Prime Minister Wei doesn't seem to agree with the marriage, saying that the prince's marriage really hurts the face of our big country Anling."

Ming Heng was not surprised. Although Prime Minister Wei said he knew people well, he was very face-saving and somewhat pedantic. It was reasonable for him to refuse.As for Wei Guogong - because this person has been guarding the border all year round, Ming Heng doesn't know much about him, so naturally he can't guess his thoughts.However, I heard that he was the most friendly official in the court towards Ye Ruan. It is said that he was the first to persuade Emperor Qian Yuan to cease fighting with Ye Ruan Zhige and shake hands to make peace.Perhaps out of the standpoint of maintaining the relationship between the two countries, he might agree to make a marriage.

And Xiao Fan's next words just verified his conjecture.

"Prime Minister Wei strongly opposes the marriage, but Wei Guogong strongly supports the marriage, and he keeps praising King Yerun, saying that he is brave, resourceful, and courageous, and he is worthy of our Anling in terms of talent and character. It is not too embarrassing for the prince to get married. He also said that the harem of King Yerou has been empty so far, and His Highness used to be the queen, and he will not treat us badly."

"..." Ming Heng couldn't stop twitching the corners of the queen's mouth when she heard it, and asked calmly, "Duke Wei really said that?"

"It's true." The little fan said, "Actually, the Duke of Wei still disapproved of the marriage a few days ago, but today he went uncharacteristically and directly overturned his views a few days ago, so he gave Prime Minister Wei a sigh of relief. The two adults insisted on their own opinions, and almost quarreled in the imperial study."

Ming Heng couldn't help but chuckled lightly.

The little fan was out of breath, and complained: "Your Highness, why are you still in the mood to smile! I heard that His Majesty originally intended to agree to this marriage, but he didn't make a decision because he was worried that the ministers of the court and the Central Committee would object too loudly. With Wei Guogong's support, I'm afraid there are nine out of ten marriages. Your Highness, is it possible that you really want to tuck in?"

"The emperor's order is hard to disobey." Ming Heng smiled faintly, and said calmly, "If the emperor orders me to marry, what position do I have to refuse?"

"But, that's Yerou." The little fan almost cried again when he thought of the rumored Yerou and King Yerou, and choked up, "Your Highness has been living in the palace, well-clothed and well-fed. If you go to Yerou in the future Ruo, how could he endure the harsh environment over there? I heard that Ye Ruo’s house is full of cloth bags, not to mention the cramped space, and there is no jade bed. His face is dry and hurts, His Highness is delicate and fleshy, what can we do? And that King Yerou, who is cruel and violent, does not seem to be a hurtful person at first glance, His Highness has nowhere to complain if he is wronged."

The little fan chattered on and on, and Ming Heng became more and more helpless the more he listened, so he interrupted helplessly: "It's alright, alright, in your eyes, your Highness is a delicate and weak woman? Why do I need a big man? He hurts?"

Little Fan knew he had made a slip of the tongue, slowly lowered his head, and defended in a low voice: "Isn't this servant also worried about His Highness?"

Xiao Fan has been with Mingheng since he entered the palace at the age of 11. He is one of the few people in the palace who really cares about himself. Shoes."

"Yes." Little Fan put away his thoughts, knelt on the ground and put Ming Heng's shoes on.

Ming Heng dressed neatly and stepped out of the dormitory, and met the little eunuch of Qinghe Hall head-on.

"I have seen His Highness Hui Wang," the little eunuch saluted and said in a respectful voice, "Your Majesty Xuan saw you in His Royal Study, and we have important matters to discuss."

Ming Heng was taken aback for a moment, the little fan behind him nervously approached, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be about a marriage?"

Nine times out of ten.Mingheng had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't show any displeasure on his face, he smiled slightly and said, "Understood, let's lead the way."

The little eunuch answered yes and then led Ming Heng to the direction of the imperial study.

Standing at the door of the imperial study, Mingheng sighed in his heart.The number of times he went to the imperial study these days was more than the sum of the previous 20 years.In the past, he also envied his elder brothers who could enter the royal study to talk with his father from time to time, but now that this wish has come true, he is not happy at all.

After sorting out his mood, Ming Heng pushed open the door of the imperial study.This time, Emperor Qianyuan did not sit behind the imperial case, but was holding a pair of scissors to trim the orchid branches and leaves beside him.

"I will see my father." Mingheng was about to salute, but Emperor Qianyuan turned around and stopped him: "Stop kneeling, come here."

Mingheng agreed, walked quietly behind Emperor Qianyuan, and asked softly: "What's the important thing for the emperor to ask his son to come over?"

Emperor Qianyuan turned his back to him, did not turn around, and said in a deep voice: "Just now when Tuobahong entered the palace, I have already agreed to the marriage."

Although he already knew that this would be the result, when he heard Emperor Qianyuan say this answer in an extremely indifferent and unhesitating tone, Mingheng still couldn't help but sink, not to mention anger or disappointment, Just feel sad for myself.

There are still two days before the agreed date, but the emperor can't wait to agree. Is it because Taze's temptation is too great for him to resist, or is it because the marriage partner is his unemotional son, even if he sends it out, he will not be able to resist. Won't you feel bad?

Ming Heng smiled bitterly in his heart.

Seeing Mingheng's silence, Emperor Qianyuan turned around, gave him a complicated look, and asked without any guilt: "You don't want to?"

Ming Heng lowered his head: "I dare not."

Emperor Qianyuan was very satisfied with his attitude, nodded, and put on an expression that I had no choice but to persuade him earnestly: "Mingheng, don't blame your father. I think Tuobahong is very sincere and treats you as well." It's not that you don't have feelings. When you arrive at Yerou, he won't treat you badly. Besides, the current relationship between Anling and Yerou is not strong. It would be a great blessing to sacrifice you to make the relationship between the two countries even closer! "

Ming Heng listened with a blank expression, without any disturbance in his heart, but respectfully agreed: "What the father said is true, and I understand it. Everything is decided by the father."

Only then did Emperor Qianyuan show a gratified smile, and sighed with emotion: "You are a good boy, father will not wrong you. At that time, Wei Guogong will personally escort you to tuck, Zexi I will also go as a peace envoy."

Mingheng's indifferent face finally changed.

"Ze...Master Xiaohe is going too?"

"Well," Emperor Qianyuan was a little confused when he thought of He Zexi's abnormal behavior just now, "Just before Tuobahong entered the palace, he came to me and offered to escort you as an envoy. His attitude was very firm, so I had no choice but to agree. gone."

Ming Heng silently lowered his eyes and looked at the ground with a secretive expression.

Emperor Qianyuan asked him to come here at this time to inform him about the marriage. After the notification was in place, he pretended to pull him and said a few words about himself before letting him go.

Ming Heng walked out of the imperial study room, Xiao Fan and Qing Feng were waiting at the door.

The little fan looked at him anxiously, worried that Emperor Qianyuan in the study did not dare to speak out, so he could only ask with his eyes—what did His Majesty talk to His Highness?

Ming Heng didn't answer, and told Yuan Xi not to take the two of them away first.After leaving the imperial study room for a distance, he said, "Father has already agreed to marry."

When the two people behind heard the news, they looked at each other tragically as if struck by lightning.

"Your Highness..." The corner of Xiao Fan's mouth drooped and he was about to cry again.

Ming Heng was really not in the mood to coax people at the moment, so he stretched out his hand and patted him on the back, threatened him not to cry with his eyes, then rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly, and told Qing Feng: "Go and prepare the carriage, I have to leave the palace a trip.

Qing Feng looked slightly stunned: "Where is Your Highness going?"

"The Palace of the Duke of Wei!"

The author has something to say: Before marrying:

Mingheng: The man I love wants to send me "married" in person, my heart is dead, I will never love QAQ again in this life

After marriage:

Mingheng: When I see someone I want to marry, I am confident! Hi~ Wife~
