Time Travel Female Queen, Legend of Medicine Saint
Chapter 193 Before the Palace Banquet
After the Ninth Prince left the palace of the Eight Wise Kings, although he felt somewhat confident, he still could not hide his uneasiness.
As he walked along the corridor of the palace, every step seemed so heavy.
The next palace banquet will be a critical moment for his marriage to Qingchen.
Can the Eight Wise Kings realize their wish and let the Queen Mother grant a marriage to Jiang Qingchen?
Back in the palace, the Ninth Prince sat in front of the window, looking at the darkening sky outside the window, with many thoughts in his mind.
He remembered every bit of his acquaintance with Qingchen, and those sweet moments filled his heart with anticipation.
However, he also knew that the power struggle in the palace was complicated and he had to be careful to achieve his wish.
Time seemed to pass very slowly. The Ninth Prince paced back and forth in the palace, sometimes sitting down and meditating, sometimes standing up to look out.
He tried to calm himself down, but the anxiety in his heart refused to calm down.
He was worried that his impatience would be seen by the Queen Mother's people, and he was even more worried that the Eight Wise Kings would not be able to find a suitable time to mention the matter before the palace banquet.
"Bai Xue, do you think the Eighth Emperor's Aunt is discussing the marriage with the Queen Mother?" The Ninth Prince walked around the palace anxiously.
Stopping from time to time and looking out of the hall, his heart was filled with uneasiness and expectation.
Bai Xue is his personal bodyguard and has always been by his side. Seeing him so uneasy, she felt very worried.
"Your Highness, don't wander around. The servants the emperor gave you will be watching." Bai Xue said softly, trying to calm him down.
However, the Ninth Prince didn't seem to hear her words at all and was still walking around, his brows furrowed and an uneasy light shining in his eyes.
"Bai Xue, do you think the Queen Mother will agree?" The Ninth Prince stopped again and asked Bai Xue.
Bai Xue couldn't bear it when she saw the anxiety and worry in his eyes.
She knew that the Ninth Prince had always longed to be with Jiang Qingchen, and this palace banquet was originally a rare opportunity.
Unfortunately, Jiang Qingchen was in danger in Nushan.
"Baixue, why is there no news about Bai Shuang?" the Ninth Prince asked again.
Bai Xue was also very anxious. Bai Shuang had been out for three or four days and had not returned with any news.
Now Bai Shuang hasn't come back yet, and I don't know what Jiang Qingchen's situation is in Yin Zhao Kingdom?
"Your Highness, don't worry, Bai Shuang may still be on the way." Bai Xue comforted.
However, the Ninth Prince seemed not to listen at all. He was still walking around and mumbling to himself, not knowing what he was talking about.
Seeing his appearance, Bai Xue was very worried and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the bell for the palace banquet finally rang. When the Ninth Prince heard the bell, his heart became cold and he immediately stopped. He looked at Bai Xue and said, "Let's go to the palace banquet."
Bai Xue nodded and followed the Ninth Prince towards the palace banquet.
At the same time, the Eighth Sage King was telling the emperor about Jiang Qingchen and the Nine Emperors, "Your Majesty, although Jiang Qingchen is only a doctor, she has the ability to govern. In the future, if the sixteen princesses really want to inherit the throne, Qingchen can do a good job Assist her."
The ninth prince is the half-brother of the sixteenth princess. He is extremely loyal to his mother and the sixteenth princess.
Compared with other brothers and sisters, his loyalty is particularly precious.
Jiang Qingchen is now the adopted daughter of the Eight Sage Kings, and is also the emperor's personally named Princess.
She had a distinguished status, and being assigned to a concubine prince could be regarded as a good match.
After all, in the court, marriage was often an exchange of political interests rather than pure love.
The emperor listened to the words of the Eight Wise Kings without any expression on his face.
He knew in his heart that the Eight Wise Kings were doing the best for the Ninth Prince and hoped to find a good home for her.
However, the emperor also had his own considerations. He once gave Jiang Qingchen a chance to join the court as an official and serve the court.
However, Jiang Qingchen refused. She refused to serve the court, so the emperor would naturally not betroth the ninth prince to her.
In the emperor's view, Jiang Qingchen's refusal was disrespectful to him and disloyal to the court.
At this time, the emperor felt a little dissatisfied.
He glanced at the Eight Wise Kings and said slowly: "Imperial sister, we will discuss this matter after the banquet."
There was a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.
The emperor has made a decision and no one can change it, but the Eight Wise Kings refused to give up the opportunity to persuade. "Your Majesty, Jiang Qingchen's intelligence is beyond the reach of ordinary people. She does not want to become an official in the court, which shows that she has no ambition."
As soon as the Eight Wise Kings finished speaking, the emperor frowned slightly. She knew the intentions of the Eight Wise Kings, but the dissatisfaction in her heart did not dissipate.
She glanced at the Eight Wise Kings lightly and said in a deep voice: "Imperial sister, of course I understand your thoughts. But matters in the court cannot be measured by simple intelligence. I have also heard about Jiang Qingchen's intelligence, but she The choice made me deeply disappointed.”
Seeing the emperor's resolute attitude, the Eight Wise Kings couldn't help but feel anxious.
She was well aware of Jiang Qingchen's talent and character, and she also understood her affection for the Ninth Prince.
She didn't want to give up just like that, so she spoke again: "Your Majesty, please think again. Although Jiang Qingchen refused to become an official in the court, her loyalty to the court has never changed. The reason why she did not want to become an official was just because she I am more willing to do my part for the country and people in my own way."
After hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly, and the dissatisfaction in his heart seemed to ease slightly.
He was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about the Eight Wise Kings' words. After a moment, he spoke slowly: "Imperial sister, I will consider your words. But the prince's marriage is no small matter. I need time to think about it carefully."
The Eight Wise Kings were secretly happy when they saw that the emperor's attitude had relaxed. She knew her words had had an effect.
So, she said no more, just quietly waiting for the emperor's decision.
The emperor stood in the royal study, lost in thought. She thought of Jiang Qingchen's intelligence and talent, and also recalled her firm eyes when she refused to become an official in the court.
She couldn't help feeling a little conflicted, appreciating her talent but also feeling disappointed with her choice.
However, she also understands that marriage matters do need to be carefully considered.
Although Jiang Qingchen's status is noble, whether her personality is compatible with the Ninth Prince is also an issue that needs to be considered.
The emperor did not want to make wrong decisions because of impulse.
After thinking for a long time, the emperor finally made a decision. She told the Eight Wise Kings: "Royal sister, I have thought about it. Jiang Qingchen is indeed a talented woman. But her life or death in Yin Zhao Kingdom is uncertain. If she can come back before the end of the banquet, I will grant her a marriage to the Nine Emperors." "
After hearing this, the Eighth Sage King felt a little disappointed, but she also understood the emperor's intentions.
She took a deep look at the emperor and silently exited the imperial study.
She had tried her best. The emperor was right. Qingchen's life and death were uncertain, so it was too early to talk about marriage.
Do you want her to come back today? How can this be?
