Chapter 86: Sleepiness
"Zhenzhen, don't talk nonsense. If someone in the palace hears it, you'll be in big trouble. Besides, the Emperor of Southern Yan is wise, and with the full support of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, you can sleep peacefully." Princess Xincheng Zhao Lian'er said softly.
"Sleep peacefully..." Zhu Huaizhen narrowed his eyes with a smile on his lips.
If she was really at ease, Emperor Xuan of Yan would not have granted her a marriage with Chen Ming'an.
The demise of Southern Wu was led by Chen Ming'an.
As the Princess of Southern Wu, unless she is crazy, she will not fall in love with Chen Mingan.
This was exactly the effect Emperor Xuan of Yan wanted, to use Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen as a pawn at any time.
Therefore, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion should keep a low profile.
However, keeping a low profile may not be feasible.
Princess Pingyang is also a hidden danger.
Hey, why is her head full of imperial tactics?
She is now a princess of a fallen country and doesn't need to use her brain.
"Princess Ronghua, your mother summoned you here today because she has something important to discuss with you." Duke Dingguo coughed lightly and changed the subject.
Although Duke Dingguo is a martial arts fanatic, he also has basic sensitivity.
The Duke Dingguo Mansion has stood the test of a hundred years, but it has few descendants.
"May I ask, Duke Dingguo, what is the matter that is worth you all waiting for so long, and why you are not allowing me to sleep?" Zhu Huaizhen yawned repeatedly, but still remembered the etiquette of bowing.
"Matters concerning the concubine." Chen Ming'an said in a cold voice.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen said "Oh".
"Zhenzhen, I've thought about it. Every girl looks forward to a grand wedding. Unfortunately, I am the principal wife and you are the concubine. If we two get married at the same time, my wedding will definitely overshadow yours. By then, you will be sad, and I will be too busy to take care of you. It's better for us to hold the weddings separately. You go first and I go later. It will be fair to both of us." Zhao Lian'er said softly.
"Zhao Lian'er, aren't you afraid of the long night and many dreams?" Zhu Huaizhen frowned and blurted out.
Zhu Huaizhen certainly understood what Zhao Lian'er meant.
She wanted to use Zhu Huaizhen's wedding to highlight Zhao Lianer's wedding.
Besides, what is done first will always be rushed.
Those who did it later had experience and were able to do it with ease.
"Brother Ming'an won't do that." Zhao Lian'er was choked and her eyes were suddenly blurred with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen didn't want to indulge Zhao Lian'er and continued to tease her, "Zhao Lian'er, your marriage was granted by Chen Ming'an through his military exploits. However, mine was granted by the Emperor of Southern Yan. So, if a princess of Northern Zhou or Northern Jin falls in love with Chen Ming'an, it would also be a casual remark by the Emperor of Southern Yan. If you marry Chen Ming'an, it's fine. You won't be divorced as the principal wife, let alone demoted to a concubine. However, if something unexpected happens and you're caught off guard, you can only be a concubine. It's shameful for a dignified Princess of Southern Chu to rush to become someone else's concubine. It's not like your country has been destroyed."
After she finished speaking, Zhao Lian'er clutched her white handkerchief and cried bitterly.
Chen Mingan could only pat Zhao Lian'er on the shoulder and comfort her.
"Lian'er, don't listen to Zhenzhen's nonsense. There are no princesses of marriageable age in Northern Zhou and Northern Jin." Chen Ming'an said softly.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen just found it funny.
It is true that there were no princesses of marriageable age in the Northern Zhou and Northern Jin dynasties, but were there no princesses of marriageable age among the royal family? In the past, the ones who were married off were not princesses, but princesses or county ladies.
However, Zhu Huaizhen was too lazy to disturb the affection between this couple.
She really wanted to sleep, and she yawned one after another, with tears streaming down her face.
