Snowy Chang'an Road

It has been a long time since he lived such a shameless life. For Wei Shao, there was a kind of magic in Pei Ying that deeply attracted him and made him unable to help but want to get closer.

"Pei Ying, this matter still needs to be resolved. It's okay if I don't express my position, but when the Huns' envoys arrive in Chang'an, they will force your Majesty to express his position."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he keeps his word. Regardless of whether he was forced to do so, he agreed to marry Chanyu, so naturally he will not fail to do so. Both princesses are His Majesty's daughters. Mrs. Fu herself is weak, but she treats the Queen She only obeys orders. Ban's roots in the court are very deep. Your Majesty must think twice before making any decision. Madam Bo is favored by His Majesty and has the support of countless aristocratic families behind her. Her power cannot be underestimated. Isn't this the old and new forces? Confrontation?"

"It's painful for your majesty to think about it. Can't we fight across the north? No matter how strong the Xiongnu is, our Wei Dynasty is not weak. Why do we have to sacrifice the princess to get married?"

"It is cost -effective. With a princess, you can exchange for the harmony of the north border. Compared with the military expenses spent by the Great Wall, the Army, and the expenditure spent in the years, are you not cost -effective?"

Wei Shao did not answer. Although he was unwilling to admit this reality, it was really more cost -effective.

Seeing that he did not speak, Pei Ying continued: "Since the matter has been finalized, Your Majesty cannot be unfaithful, but he is reluctant to part with his own daughter, so why not select a woman from the clan named Wei to be a princess? It would also be a good idea to send it in the name of a lady in the palace and go to get married on behalf of the two princesses."

"But this is so unfair to this clan woman."

Hearing Wei Shao say this, Pei Ying smiled.

"Wei Shao, I thought you were born in the royal family and have always been aloof. I didn't expect you to know the word fairness."

"Are you in need of cleaning up again?"

Wei Shao held Pei Ying tightly in his arms. Pei Ying tried to break free, but to no avail.

"Wei Shao, you reckless man, let me go."

"You beg me, beg me and I will let you go?"

"Pooh"

Wei Shao took advantage of Pei Ying's little temper. He enjoyed the ambiguous and natural atmosphere when the two of them got along.

"Don't make trouble, say something, in fact, this is very simple. Jiang Taigong fishing, the willingness to hook it, as long as the conditions given by His Majesty are tempting enough. Fair dealing under the premise of forced will.”

"Will Your Majesty agree?"

"Why not? Even if tiger poison does not eat its own children, how could your majesty refuse to agree to the two princesses' wealth and wealth for the rest of their lives? I think your majesty does not want any of his daughters to marry Hunan Chanyu, otherwise he would not He will always hesitate. The result His Majesty wants to see is that both daughters can avoid this marriage. What he is waiting for is a solution to the problem."

"Then I will go to court the day after tomorrow. If His Majesty asks me, I will answer like this, okay?"

Pei Ying shook her head and said, "Of course not. Tomorrow morning, we will enter the palace together. You go to His Majesty to discuss the matter, and I will go see my mother and sister."

"it is good."

Early the next morning, Wei Shao and Pei Ying entered the palace after breakfast, and they went separate ways.

Pei Ying first went to Yueyang Palace, chatted, drank tea with Deng Shou, and tended flowers and plants, and then went to the East Palace to visit Pei Sheng.

When I came last time, Pei Sheng's belly was not obvious. This time I saw Pei Sheng, she was already pregnant. After listening to her sister's words, she walked in the palace every day, and her body was much lighter than before, and she didn't look bulky. .

In the dormitory, the sisters talked and laughed. As time went by, the relationship between the two became better and better, and Pei Ying gradually began to accept this sister from the bottom of her heart. If so, it wouldn't look so annoying.

While the two sisters were talking, the palace servants sent word that Yong Qiang came to visit.

"Invite her in."

"promise."

"Meet the Crown Princess and the Princess of Peking."

"How did you come?"

Since Pei Ying told Pei Sheng to be more careful with Yong Qiang last time, Pei Sheng has become increasingly alienated from her.

This is also the background of Pei Sheng's character. If she likes someone, she can't wait to get along with them day and night. But if she hates someone, it will be very obvious on her face, and her happiness and anger will be completely reflected in her face. Just like her guard against Yong Qiang at this moment, it was completely written on her face, and she couldn't hide any emotion at all.

"Return to the Crown Princess, I am very happy."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Sheng's eyes widened like bells. She had only been in the palace for a short time and she was pregnant. She was speechless for a moment because of the shock.

In comparison, Pei Ying was much calmer.

"This is a good thing. Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Princess."

"Have you asked the imperial doctor to check your pulse?"

"Please pass."

"How many months old is the child?"

"Two months."

"Then take good care of it. Have you told Your Majesty and the Queen about this?"

"As I said, my father and mother are very happy."

"That's good. The two of you will work together to spread the branches and leaves of the Wei royal family. It's really great joy."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words. Seeing that Pei Sheng looked bad, Yong Qiang asked to leave.

Pei Ying sent her outside the dormitory and said a few more words of advice. Watching her walk away, a crisp sound suddenly came from behind.

Pei Ying walked into the palace, and it turned out that Pei Sheng dropped the tea cup again. She signaled the maid to leave first.

"Why are you still like this? You don't grow up at all. If you are uncomfortable, you will fall. When can you change this bad problem?"

"Sister, how could she be pregnant?"

"Why can't she be pregnant? You are pregnant now, and Wei Huan often stays at her place. There is a male-female affair between the two of you, and she is also the crown prince's concubine. It is strange that she is not pregnant."

"But this way, my child won't be the only one."

"Pei Sheng, your child was born in the royal family, what do you want from me? This Yongqiang is just the beginning. If Wei Huan ascends the throne in the future, there will be many more women in his harem. What will you do then?"

"But sister, I am not willing to accept it."

"What are you not willing to accept? You are the head wife, and your child is not only the eldest son, but also the legitimate son. You have taken advantage of all the advantages. Who can be more noble than you?"

"But I, I can't stand her look."

"What can you get used to? When I got married with you, didn't you also get used to me?"

Hearing this, Pei Sheng lowered his head guilty.

"Since you have chosen to be the Crown Princess, you will encounter these things frequently in your future life. You must learn to be tolerant. Just like just now, you dropped the tea cup before Yongqiang had gone far. , if she hears it, she will only despise you even more. I heard that she is pregnant, look at your stinky face, it is simply ugly, you really can’t even act."

"She did it on purpose."

"She did it on purpose, to provoke you on purpose, so what should you do?"

"Ignore her."

"That's right. Your top priority now is to give birth to this child safely."
