The moonlight in Weiyang Palace is dim.
Xiao Hanyi was reading the memorials while Guo Xiner was pacing in the hall. The imperial physician said that it would be beneficial for her to walk more.
Xiao Jiayun fell asleep soundly...
Guo Xiner saw Xiao Hanyi holding a memorial in his hand, frowning in thought, and walked forward, "Your Majesty, are you still worried about the fact that I almost got poisoned?"
Of course she knew he was not, but she didn't dare ask about matters related to state affairs, so she had to find this topic.
Xiao Hanyi turned around, slapped the memorial, and said with a bad look, "Northern Liang wants to marry our Southern Liang princess. The envoy has already set off. Previously, the spies only reported that they were discussing it, but now it has been decided."
Guo Xiner didn't quite understand. She felt that marriage was only a temporary solution, and she had to think of a permanent solution. Looking at Xiao Hanyi's expression, he didn't want to marry his daughter there. "Your Majesty, I don't understand state affairs, but now, the only ones in the palace who are old enough to get married are the eldest princess and the second princess of Concubine Heng. I think if my daughter marries to Beiliang, I, as a mother, will miss her child so much."
You are right. Both Northern Liang and Southern Liang were eager for a war and wanted to unify the Liang Dynasty.
However, now, neither side has the absolute strength to win, which is why the situation is so deadlocked.
Xiao Hanyi closed his eyes and muttered, "Beiliang, marriage."
[What? Beiliang sent someone?]
Xiao Jiayun suddenly woke up. There was this paragraph in the book. This time, the team was led by the Seventh Prince of Beiliang. He showed enough sincerity. Others thought they were coming for the legitimate princess, but in fact, what they really wanted was the Second Princess.
Concubine Heng's mother's family holds military power.
After they arrived, it seemed that they were hinting at the eldest princess, but they deliberately provoked the eldest princess. The eldest princess was the queen's legitimate daughter and had been spoiled by Queen Wang since childhood. She rushed into the royal inn with her guards in the middle of the night and almost killed the seventh prince.
After this incident, the second princess had no choice but to marry, but the second princess had a more violent temper and directly hired someone to castrate the seventh prince.
They had intentionally allowed the eldest princess to break into the inn, but they had not expected the second princess to do this.
After this accident, the two countries had a showdown and fought to the end.
Because Southern Liang was not yet prepared, five years later Northern Liang invaded the capital and abducted the royal family and nobles. If it were not for the third princess and Xie Jin, Southern Liang would have been destroyed.
"Tyrant Father, this time when Beiliang came to the capital, besides asking to marry our Second Princess, the Seventh Prince also has a more important mission. He will summon all the spies in the capital and take over the intelligence network."
[This is a perfect opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop. This is the Seventh Prince, who is brave and resourceful. And beside him is Ge Hu, the future God of War, who is as famous as Xie Jin.]
[Northern Liang and Southern Liang are of the same clan. If they could have kept all those talented people without bloodshed, it would have been great. Unfortunately...]
Xiao Hanyi knew very well that after the bloody battle, Southern Liang would be severely damaged. The Qi State in the south and the Daliang State in the west were eyeing it covetously. This was also one of the reasons why he had not used military force.
Another reason is that he has no money.
Huh? The Second Prince is going to marry Liu Qian?
Let the Second Prince take Liu Qian to Jiangnan? This is a good idea. He was thinking about how to use Liu Qian. Although the Southern Liang Dynasty was open-minded, there was no example of a woman serving as an official.
Since she is talented, wouldn't it be a great advantage to give her the status of a prince's consort?
Xiao Hanyi thought so, very good, ask the little guy.
"I don't want to marry my daughter there, but I'm not absolutely sure about the outcome. Besides, the treasury is empty and we need money."
Xiao Hanyi was just gossiping, and Guo Xiner was listening quietly.
Xiao Jiayun was also listening.
"Some time ago, someone recommended a person to me, Liu Yan's concubine's daughter, Liu Qian. She is a smart and exquisite person, but unfortunately, she is a woman."
"How could I entrust such an important matter to a young girl? Today the Second Prince is here and wants to marry her. I want..."
Xiao Hanyi fell into deep thought.
"What are you still thinking about? Hurry up and agree to it. The Second Prince will be no problem if he is taught well. With the title of Second Prince's Consort, she will be able to do things easily. Tyrant father, you don't know how powerful the heroine is. She makes gunpowder cannons, anesthetics, antibiotics..."
[It's just a tax, no problem. Isn't the Queen of March having a flower viewing banquet? Let her attend and say she fell in love with me at first sight.]
It turns out the little guy thinks so too, so let’s do it!
From what Guo Xiner heard from Xiao Hanyi, he wanted to agree to the second prince, "Your Majesty, a hero is judged by his background. If Liu Qian is really useful, Your Majesty may as well use her boldly."
She never thought that women were really inferior to men.
The two were chatting when a palace maid came to report, "The Empress wishes to see you."
Xiao Hanyi, "Spread it"
What is the Queen doing here at this time? Is she trying to take advantage of Concubine Heng's misfortune?
Xiao Hanyi nodded, he thought so too.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you," Queen Wang said in greeting.
Guo Xiner greeted the queen, "Your Majesty the Queen."
Queen Wang nodded and smiled at Guo Xiner as a greeting.
"The Queen came here so late at night, what's the matter?" Xiao Hanyi asked directly.
Queen Wang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince came to see me and said that he has set his eyes on Liu Xi, the daughter of Liu Yan, the Imperial Physician. I have had people investigate and found that although Liu Xi is a concubine's daughter, she is gentle and generous, and a dignified person, but..."
She secretly observed Xiao Hanyi's expression, and seeing that he was not angry, she continued, "It's just that his daughter is the prince's principal wife, and Liu Yan's official position is a bit lower."
Queen Wang paused. She wanted Xiao Hanyi to continue, but Xiao Hanyi looked at her straight and motioned for her to go on.
"However, having said that, as long as she is a good person and the Second Prince likes her so much, I think it's okay to fall."
"Of course it's fine with you. You're hoping the Second Prince will marry a woman of this pedigree, so he won't have a chance to compete with your First Prince for the throne. However, Queen, you're a step behind this time. While the clans can certainly provide assistance, these are special times. Liu Qian brings a wealth of modern knowledge."
Xiao Hanyi nodded and said "yes".
He had not originally intended to hand over the throne to the Second Prince, and giving him a princess with a simple family background was exactly what he wanted. He was afraid that the Second Prince and Concubine Heng would object, which would cause trouble. But now, the Second Prince chose Liu Qian himself.
Queen Wang was delighted, but she kept it to herself. "I'll hold a poetry gathering the day after tomorrow and have invited the noble ladies from the capital. I've also invited Liu Qian to come. Your Majesty, please come and see it."
If the emperor liked her, Concubine Heng would probably have nothing to say. The key point is that his beloved son has made up his mind.
"Let's do it this way," Xiao Hanyi said.
Then quickly get married and let them go to Jiangnan.
The emperor and empress decided the second prince's marriage with just a few words. Concubine Heng's plan to have the second prince marry the daughter of Minister Chen was going to fail.
Queen Wang chatted with the emperor for a few more words and then took her leave.
【There's something interesting to watch】
[When Concubine Heng finds out, hahaha, she might just go straight to the Queen with a knife in hand.]
Xiao Hanyi was speechless. This little guy loved to watch the fun, but he had to be on guard against what she said.
Fortunately, Concubine Heng is still under house arrest.
