Shu Blossoms

Chapter 259: Misfortune or Lucky Star
"Oh! Who won?" Zheng Wei asked subconsciously, then suddenly realized, she raised her head and asked, "Do you know why they came to Beijing?"

"They were just hired, and they didn't know why they came."

Zhao Bei's explanation was still concise and clear.

Zheng Wei nodded in thought, and after a while she heard Zhao Bei say indifferently: "I won!"

She was stunned and didn't understand what she meant, when Miao'er came in with a steaming pot of shredded chicken porridge, and Aqiao behind her was carrying a bowl and side dishes.

Aqiao smiled while helping to serve the porridge: "Fortunately, the princess didn't have dinner, and Mrs. Wang under the kitchen is worried that you will be hungry at night, so she has been warming this porridge on the stove."

Miao'er and Zhao Bei were indeed hungry, and they devoured a whole pot of shredded chicken porridge.

"Ah Qiao, there are still two vacant rooms in the yard, tidy up and let my brothers and sisters rest temporarily tonight."

A Qiao responded, and then said to them: "Zhao Langjun, Miao Er, follow me."

After setting them up, Zheng Wei finally heaved a sigh of relief and lay down on the couch, but couldn't fall asleep anymore.

These things kept flashing back and forth in her mind tonight.

What Yuan Wang and Uncle Amu said coincided with each other. Those knights in the rivers and lakes were probably targeting themselves. Was Zhang Aru really planning to assassinate me?

It must be too obvious!
If not, then who summoned these people into the capital, and why?
Also, what Xiao Yucheng said before, that Tuoba Yu wanted to get married was already an open secret in Jiankang City, but he said that he was willing not to fight in his lifetime, was this just his sincerity or just a pretext for starting the fight.

These can still be covered by soldiers, but the most troublesome thing for her is the reason for Xiao Yucheng's visit tonight.

She wasn't really stupid, she just pretended to be confused and didn't understand.

In fact, the eldest princess had already sent someone to tell her about Mrs. Xiao's marriage proposal during the day, and she was in a mess when she heard it.

Before she could sort out her mood, Xiao Yucheng chased after her, making her even more flustered.

If it wasn't for Uncle Amu's presence, and she was afraid that Xiao Yucheng would be caught and beaten by Buqu in the house as a thief, she would just pretend to be asleep and ignore them.

"Xiao Yucheng wants to marry me!" As soon as Zheng Wei thought of this thought, Xiao Yucheng's smile that made her dizzy appeared in front of Zheng Wei's eyes, and then her heart was bumping like a deer, and she couldn't calm down no matter what.

"I must be dazed!" She sat up and patted her cheek, trying to get rid of the strange feeling, but her face felt hot.

Early the next morning, Zheng Wei sat in the lobby with dark circles under her eyes, waiting for the imperial decree from Emperor Zhou.

She made an agreement with His Majesty that after Jiji ceremony, Emperor Zhou would send an eunuch to deliver the decree.

If the inner eunuch came to deliver the decree, it meant that Emperor Zhou's intentions had not been shaken, so no matter what Tuoba Yu's plan was, she would not let him succeed.

If the inner prisoner is in the future, I'm afraid I have to make another plan.

She sat there and waited from early morning to noon. The eldest princess and her father came to see her worriedly, but she didn't say a word.

After waiting from noon to sunset, Zheng Wei suddenly stood up and walked outside.

"Stop!" The eldest princess rushed to stop her again, and asked softly, "Wei'er, where are you going?"

"Into the palace, His Majesty Ji Jili rewarded a lot of things last night, and he hasn't entered the palace yet to thank you!"

Zheng Wei thought of an excuse at random, but she was stopped when she reached the door, Zheng Heng rushed back from the imperial army, stood at the door and looked at herself worriedly.

"Brother, what happened?"

Zheng Heng avoided her gaze, and said with a guilty conscience: "Wei'er, you've been exhausted from preparing for the ceremony these days, so you should rest at home and spend time with grandma and mother!"

Seeing everyone's worried and sympathetic eyes, Zheng Wei knew that maybe Xiao Yucheng guessed right, the imperial decree would not come, or before this matter had a clear ending, Emperor Zhou would not rashly issue an decree.

Zheng Wei took a deep breath, a smile appeared on his face, and he only heard himself jokingly say: "But the news that Emperor Wei wants to marry me has spread?"

Zheng Heng showed a serious expression on his face, "Amei, as long as you don't let go of this matter, no one can force you!"

"Yes!" The eldest princess also came in, holding her hand tightly, "Wei'er, I will never allow them to send you to Dawei!"

"Don't worry, Auntie, I've never been the type to do what others tell me!" Zheng Wei patted Auntie's hand comfortingly, and asked Zheng Heng, "Brother, tell me what's going on outside. of?"

Zheng Heng looked at the eldest princess in embarrassment, and Zheng Wei went out again: "Brother, don't tell me, I'll go outside to inquire."

"It is rumored outside that you should marry Da Wei in exchange for a hundred years of stability on the border of Da Zhou." Zheng Heng closed his eyes and said angrily, "They are all those noble families who usually claim to be famous for a hundred years, but they are so spineless. It's a shame for a weak woman to trade for it! "

Zheng Wei looked at him calmly, and said lightly: "Brother, I'm not a weak girl."

Then she got up and walked to her own courtyard. The eldest princess followed her with a worried face, "Don't worry, Wei'er, Auntie will enter the palace tomorrow to seek justice for you!"

"Aniang, I'm hungry!" Zheng Wei suddenly turned around and said to her with a smile: "Let the cook make some food and send it to my room!"

"Hey, good!" The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ordered the maid to prepare food, and when she turned around, Zheng Wei had already left.

The eldest princess looked at her son, ran towards Zheng Ye who had just come back from outside the mansion, and said helplessly, "This girl is so quiet that it makes people flustered."

"We Wei'er's affairs are getting bigger and more stable." Zheng Ye was actually panicking. This time, the incident was too big. Not only Wei'er but also their family were pushed to the cusp of Jiankang City overnight. .

"What's going on outside?" The eldest princess forced herself to calm down and asked Zheng Ye about the situation outside.

"Many people have already entered the palace to see His Majesty, asking whether the matter is true or not." Zheng Ye thought about seeing many horse-drawn carriages from various prefectures hurrying to the palace on the way back.

"Then what did your Majesty say?" The eldest princess asked anxiously. The most important thing about this matter is to see His Majesty's attitude. If he can stand it and firmly disagree with Wei'er's marriage, then no one can force him to come down. Purpose.

At this time, the eldest princess was fortunate that there was no empress dowager in the harem of the Great Zhou that restrained the Emperor of Zhou.

"In the beginning, His Majesty sent Gao Han to reprimand them for listening to slanderous rumors. No matter whether it is the Great Zhou or the Great Wei, the dispute between the two countries cannot be tied to a woman. Later, more and more people came, and many of them were some noble families. It was getting late and the palace gate was locked, blocking them out."

Zheng Heng came back from the imperial army and knew more news than Zheng Ye, so he answered for his father.

"So it seems that things are not at their worst yet." The eldest princess already felt that she would enter the palace early in the morning and block him at the gate of Xianyang Palace after Emperor Zhou came down to court.

But what they didn't know was that at this moment, another piece of news spread among the people in the capital. Someone confirmed from the Wei Dynasty embassy that the Emperor Wei had sent His Majesty a secret letter. The Great Wei, the Great Wei cavalry never set foot in the Great Zhou territory during the lifetime of Emperor Wei.

The news spread like the wind throughout Jiankang City, and the Emperor of Great Wei was willing to marry the Princess Danyang with Jiangshan as his offer.

Miao Er told her the news when she came back over the wall at night, and Zheng Wei sneered when she heard it, "Am I a beauty or a lucky star?"

Miao'er thought about it seriously and returned to her: "For Da Wei, it is a complete confidante, but for Da Zhou, it may be a lucky star or a confidante?"

Then am I at a loss?
