Reborn as King again

Bi'er became a widow just over two years after she married Zheng Guo, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to her. Jia Wanru loves her daughter dearly, and I also act like a loving father. Naturally, I feel sorry for Bi'er who has returned. To show the importance I attach to Bier, I specially held a banquet in the palace to welcome Bier's return and make her happy.

On the surface, I treat Bi Er as usual, and she is still the apple of my eye.But in fact, things are different, no matter how open the national style of Datong is, the status of men superior to women has not changed. A widowed woman with a dead husband should keep a low profile to avoid bad luck.Bi'er is a widow, and returning to Datong is not an honorable thing at all. There have been many discussions among the people, but now that I welcome you in such a grand manner, I don't know what outsiders will say about her irresponsibility, which will greatly damage her reputation. of.

Bi'er's reputation is nothing to me, so it doesn't matter if it is ruined. I have another purpose for holding a big banquet, which is to observe Ouyang Ji and see where he comes from.

During the banquet, He Wenliu's eyes never moved away from Ouyang Ji's body. In the past, He Wenliu would leave after sitting for a short time at such palace banquets, and only showed up when it was over. Today he is Ding Ding's sitting He didn't move at all in his seat, and he couldn't even hear Li Jue, who was being held by the nanny behind him, calling him.

On the contrary, Ouyang Ji was quite natural, he didn't notice He Wenliu's gaze, he glanced at He Wenliu, he was surprised by the appearance and imagination of the two, there was no other color.

During the banquet, dancers danced, accompanied by musicians, and maids poured wine. This was also a thank you to the Zheng Guo envoys who escorted Bi'er back.

After drinking for three rounds, Zheng Guo's envoy Wang Xiyi got up and went out, bowed and said to me: "I have some words specially entrusted by my Emperor Zheng Guo to bring you."

"Wang Envoy, but it's okay to say." Anyway, I can't guess.

"That's how it is," Wang Xiyi said unhurriedly, "I am asking you to marry me on behalf of Zheng Guo's royal family."

courtship?Did I hear you right? !

As soon as Wang Xiyi said this, everyone was dumbfounded. It's okay for me and the courtiers and concubines to be stunned. Even Ouyang Ji was puzzled.

I thought about it for a while, could it be that Ouyang Heng, the new emperor of Zheng Guo, was unable to deal with foreign enemies due to internal strife, so he proposed a marriage first to ease the relationship between Datong and Zheng Guo. Ties are broken.

I laughed, "I'm really sorry, the only daughter I can marry is Wu Gongzhu Yun'er. She made a marriage contract three years ago, and the other daughter is still young. Choose a princess from here, and I can marry her as a princess."

"No, no, no," Wang Xiyi quickly denied, and said, "Actually, the new emperor already has someone he likes, and I just hope you can nod and agree."

Favorite person?I raised my eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously: "Let's talk about it first, who is the person you like?"

Wang Xiyi looked at me, and replied cautiously: "It's Your Royal Highness, Li Chen."

As soon as Wang Xiyi said the words, the whole banquet was full of uproar. No one expected that Emperor Zheng would make such a marriage proposal.Ouyang Heng came to Datong three years ago, and I specially sent Li Chen to receive him. It was probably at that time that he fell in love with him. With Li Chen's appearance, nine and a half out of ten people would be fascinated.

Wang Xiyi saw that I didn't gnaw, so he continued: "The new emperor has been obsessed with His Highness the First Prince of your country since three years ago. He heard that His Highness has not married yet, and he doesn't even have a concubine. Come and ask for this dear."

Sitting in the guest seat, Li Chen's face was as pale as paper, he looked at me begging for help, afraid that I would agree.

I pretended not to see Li Chen's pitiful face at all. Why did he go so long ago? Since he took up his job, I have often told him about marriage, but he just shunned me and didn't want others to get close to him.It's good now, I have an excuse for outsiders to ask him for marriage, maybe Zheng Guo thought I was trying to get Li Chen married, so I deliberately didn't marry him to the princess.

"Wait...wait a minute," Ouyang Ji said at this moment, interrupting what Wang Xiyi was going to say later, "Why don't I know? Master Wang, has the emperor explained this matter?"

"Of course there are," Wang Xiyi said to Ouyang Ji with a smile: "Your Majesty Ji, you were specially sent by the new emperor to escort Princess Zhen back to Datong, and I was sent by the new emperor to propose marriage. Your work has been completed. Naturally, the humble minister cannot be left behind."

Ouyang Ji frowned at this, but couldn't find anything wrong, so he stopped talking.

Over the years, I have assigned Li Chen to the six divisions to exercise his abilities, hoping not to follow the old path of the previous life.If I really use Li Chen as a political victim for marriage, then what would I ask him to go out of the palace to build a mansion, wouldn't it be better to just raise him in the palace?What's more, he is 22 this year. According to his daughter's family, he has already passed the marriageable age.

At this moment, Li Chen couldn't bear it anymore, he also stood up, quickly walked to the center, knelt on the ground, and begged: "Father, my son... my son..." My son didn't want to.

Before Li Chen could speak, I immediately interrupted him, "Chen'er!" After all, foreign envoys are here, even if they refuse, it is not from him, lest people from other countries see the joke.

"The new emperor is very sincere," Wang Xiyi continued, "He promised His Highness the First Prince of your country the position of Empress, that is to say, as long as His Highness the First Prince marries into the State of Zheng, he will be the mother of our country. "

"In addition," Wang Xiyi said, he took out a scroll from his bosom and offered it with both hands, "If you agree, the new emperor is willing to use ten cities as the betrothal gift of His Highness the First Prince."

Wanfu went down, took the scroll from Wang Xiyi's hand, and presented it to me.I opened the scroll, and what was drawn on the scroll was a map, which was the border map between Zheng Guo and Datong. Some places on the map were circled in red. Wang Xiyi explained to me: "The places circled in red are the new emperor's The betrothal gift, the city that I am willing to give up."

I never dreamed that Li Chen's beauty could fascinate Zheng Guoxin into such an appearance, promise me the position of queen, and give me ten cities? !I really don't know whether to say that Ouyang Heng is fatuous and incompetent, or that he loves beautiful women but not Jiangshan.I understand why the courtiers of Zheng Guo are so disappointed with the new emperor.

Zheng Guo's conditions are very attractive. To be honest, if I hadn't planned Li Chen's life in the past, or in this life, I would definitely sacrifice Li Chen and tie him up.

Li Chen listened to Wang Xiyi's words, how could he not be afraid!He doesn't want to marry Zheng Guo!When he saw that I was silent, he thought that I was thinking about this matter. How could he bear it? !

Without saying a word, Li Chen stood up directly, rushed to the maid who was closest to him as fast as he could, and reached out to take off the maid's hairpin. Before we could react, he grabbed the hairpin and directly touched him On the right cheek is a fierce swipe!

All of this happened too fast and suddenly. When we realized it, there was a long gash on Li Chen's flawless face. Constantly bleeding.Li Chen was determined to disfigure his face.

"Father," Li Chen glanced at Wang Xiyi who was terrified first, and then at me, he said: "My son's face has been ruined, so will Zheng Guoxin like such a saltless person?!"

"Come here!" Before I could speak, Jia Wanru immediately called out, "Didn't you see that the First Prince was injured?! Hurry up and help him down, the Imperial Doctor Xuan will come to treat you!"

With Jia Wanru's order, all the people present who were shocked by Li Chen's actions came back to their senses. Two young eunuchs hurried forward and helped Li Chen to leave. Before Li Chen left, he did not forget to slap him Glaring at Wang Xiyi, the hatred really wanted to swallow him alive.

Wang Xiyi also sighed unceasingly, fearing that he felt uncomfortable because he just proposed marriage on behalf of his master, but forced him to destroy his face in order to resist.Wang Xiyi stood there awkwardly, really not knowing what to say.

I smiled, and gave him a step down, "Wang envoy also saw it, Shen'er is not willing, this is what I mean, and I hope you will tell your master about it."

How strong is Li Chen's temperament, I have already experienced it in my previous life, he would rather do things that hurt himself than others to take advantage of him, so in this life he doesn't want to marry a wife or start a family, I try my best to be satisfied, Among the children, I have paid the most attention to him, but his performance has disappointed me. Is my father so unworthy of his trust? !

After the banquet, I went to Li Chen's palace to check on his injuries. At this time, the imperial doctor had just bandaged him to stop the bleeding. The imperial doctor told me that the wound was too deep, and I'm afraid there will be scars in the future.

Led by the imperial doctor, I entered Li Chen's dormitory. He was sitting on the couch with a pale complexion. His face was covered with white gauze, especially the right cheek, which was thickly covered. Li Chen saw that I came to visit him. , immediately got up to say hello.

I walked up to Li Chen, looked at him, looked at my son who is so powerful, suddenly a surge of anger welled up in my heart, I raised my hand directly, and slapped him hard, the slap hit him on his right face.Immediately, the white gauze wrapped around the wound on the right face oozes blood.

Seeing this, the imperial doctor exclaimed: "The emperor calms down, the emperor calms down! His Royal Highness stopped the bleeding just now, if you keep beating like this, the wound will probably get worse..."

"He dared to ruin his face in front of me, why should I be afraid of deep wounds?!" I said viciously, "I can't wait to beat him to pieces!" The one who forced me to attack was Li Ji, and the second was Li Chen!

Li Chen's eyes turned red, knelt on the ground, choked up and said: "Father...Father, I'm sorry, my son...I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?! Afraid that I will marry you to Zheng Guo?!" I stared at Li Chen, who was kneeling on the ground and kept crying, and said with hatred: "If I really have this plan, don't say you are disfigured, even You have been turned into an adult. Shit, I will also send you to Zheng Guo!"
