028: Grasshopper on a rope
The envoy of a great merchant? Akagi was a little nervous in his heart. He didn't know what happened to the envoys of the merchants.
"Where is the envoy?"
The eunuch's face was a little embarrassed, "Told back to the king, it has come this way!"
This made Akagi very embarrassed - where does he look like a king now? No matter who can break into his inner palace, this big businessman doesn't pay attention to himself at all!
Akamu looked back at Qingyun and saw that he had gone to the side hall quickly.
"See King Wu Zhao!" A sharp voice sounded behind Akagi. The man was wearing a big merchant costume. It seemed that it was the envoy. Seeing Akagi looking into the inner hall, the envoy showed a cunning smile on his face, "Is there a guest in King Wuzhao?" It seems that it's not the right time for the lower official to come?"
Lower official. This name is a little harsh. Although it is still lower than its own title, it is no longer a foreign minister, but regards Akagi as a citizen of the big business, not the son of Wuzhao in the past.
The king of a country was defeated, and the envoys of other countries came to his own territory as if he had entered his own house. Akagi had to admit that he had swept the ground with majesty.
Akaki squeezed out an ugly smile, "Where is it? The official came from afar and never greeted him from afar. It was my Wu Zhao's courtesy.
"They are all people of the same country, so there is no need to look outside like this."
This word poked in Chimu's heart, but he couldn't say anything and looked at the official's seat.
"I came here for a big happy event!" The envoy's face was full of a smile. The man had a sharp face and a monkey's cheek, and his voice was as sharp as a eunuch. Especially when it came to this happy event, his voice raised two steps, which made people get goose bumps all over his body.
Akagi couldn't think of anything that could be called a happy event. He looked at the envoy with doubts, "Where does joy come from?"
"Dare to ask, how many children are there under King Wuzhao's knees?"
When it comes to this matter, Akamu suddenly breathed nervously and said to himself, was it possible that the businessman already knew that he was happy about it? Akagi pretended to be calm and his face was gloomy. "Aki only has his beloved daughter cinnabar. Doesn't the official know?"
"Of course I know, of course I know! Since there is only one Princess Qianyi, King Wuzhao must often worry about Princess Qianyi's marriage, right? Now is the right time!"
It turned out that it was not about the red flame, and Akagi's anger was relieved. So, it's the marriage of cinnabar...
Wait, the marriage of cinnabar!?
Akaki's eyes widened, and he couldn't tell whether he was surprised or happy. "You said the marriage of cinnabar?"
The official squeezed his mouth and smiled, like a matchmaker who went to the west, "That's right! What else can it be?"
Earlier, I asked cinnabar to go to the big business to choose a husband's son-in-law, but I haven't heard anything for a long time. Now the news suddenly comes out. How can Akagi not be surprised! Not to mention him, even Shui Yun, who was hiding in the back hall to eavesdrop, couldn't help it. He threw the red flame to the maid and rushed out. "Is it true that my little sand has chosen my husband? Which prince is it?"
"This..."
The official wanted Shuiyun and Akagi to be anxious, but he was interrupted by Shuiyun waving his hand, "Wait, let me guess first! Is it Prince Bai Ze? No, no, although the prince is polite and gentle, his personality is inevitably a little too calm. My little sand is also a shy and delicate. If it were the prince, I'm afraid it would not be so fast! Is it Duan Wang Baiyin? But Xiaosha doesn't seem to like the type of Duanwang very much. She, without me, the Duanwang is particularly popular with women. My little sand may worry that after getting married, she will either jump into the vinegar jar and drown, or be pissed off by those women! So, maybe it's Wen Wang Baihua? Then His Majesty Baishi is really anxious. King Wen is still a child, and he is the same age as cinnabar. I don't think it well. cinnabar doesn't like young men. What's more, King Baishi's masculinity has not yet grown yet. Men who have no taste are usually not very attractive. What's more, women themselves are older than men. When he is in a good mood. At that time, our little sand has already become a yellow-faced woman..."
"Bah!" Akagi stared at Shuiyun horizontally, "It's hard to say that the cinnabar has turned into a yellow face!" Do you want her to be like you!"
"Why do I look like a yellow-faced woman!?"
Shuiyun was about to have an attack, but he was so pressed by Akagi's eyes that he dared not speak. Akagi stared at her and said, "What nonsense here!" The three princes can like cinnabar, which is the blessing of cinnabar. How can you choose here? Don't humiliate me here!"
He was taught a lesson by Akagi, and Shuiyun stopped aggrievedly, but due to Akagi's face, he had to reluctantly drag his steps to the back room.
Akagi smiled awkwardly at the envoy, "The princess's character is a little bold, which makes the official laugh."
The envoy waved his hand repeatedly, "Where is it, each has its own good!" Princess Shuiyun is straightforward. She has one or two things, but it's better than some people who are full of thoughts but refuse to say a word.
Akagi didn't have time to be polite to him. Although he scolded Shuiyun for being reckless, he was also anxious when he was himself. "Do you dare to ask which prince wants to be connected with my cinnabar?"
"Well, I also want to say that King Wuzhao, you are blessed and have a good son-in-law who sends you to your door. That's the dream of girls all over the world..."
The envoy's gasp was really full of twists and turns, more wonderful than the storyteller. Akagi didn't even dare to be angry. "Is it..."
"That's right, that's..." The envoy lowered his voice, even narrowed his eyes, and spit out word by word like fried beans. "Prince Bai Ze."
"Oh yeah!" At the door of the back hall, Shuiyun jumped with joy, "I said that my little sand is good!" It really lives up to my expectations!"
Akagi also smiled happily and forgot to scold Shui Yun. He couldn't help rubbing his fists and palms, "Good marriage is indeed a good marriage!"
"That's natural. This matter is the marriage decided by the uncle and Prime Minister Zhuang himself! I also want to say that my uncle has a good vision and looks at Princess Qianyi!"
Hearing this, Akagi's smile gradually solidified.
If this marriage is decided by Bai Shi, it means that Wu Zhao can still live a stable life for at least a few years. But if Prime Minister Zhuang has decided, it will not be that simple.
Akagi has long heard that the big merchants have calmed down on the surface, but in fact, there is constant civil strife and disputes. Let alone those foreign envoys, the bankers who helped Bai Shi win the world in those years also had a rebellion.
As for the reason, I won't delve into it, just talk about the marriage. Zhuang Cheng ordered cinnabar on a blind date. Who cares about the little girl cinnabar? What he value must be the mother of cinnabar, Wu Zhao.
The situation in this matter is in turmoil. I'm afraid that Prime Minister Zhuang's move is to let Wu Zhao lend a helping hand when the banker is against the emperor. If it is in front of you, it is more likely to attract Wu Zhao for the jade of the blue moon.
In this way, Akagi's worries are not without reason.
"What do you think of what King Wuzhao means," the envoy's rat eyes picked up and looked at Akagi unhappily. "It doesn't seem to be very satisfied?"
Akagi quickly waved his hand, "No, no, just flattered. The little girl is not talented. She can enter the eyes of Prime Minister Zhuang, which is really praised by Prime Minister Zhuang.
"That's natural. This is a once-in-a-lifetime good relationship for Princess Qianyi. Once you marry the prince, you will be the princess of this merchant!"
"Yes, yes, it's just that the child incinnabar is also a bold guy. I'm afraid that she can't serve the prince. If she does something wrong, he will be punished..."
"King Wuzhao, it's not good to sell well at a cheap price. How many women dream of becoming a crown princess? Isn't you satisfied with this opportunity to be Princess Qianyi?"
"Of course, it's not that I'm not satisfied, but the cinnabar is still young and really doesn't deserve His Royal Highness."
As soon as he heard Akagi's words, the envoy immediately blew his beard and stared at him. Relying that he was Prime Minister Zhuang, he showed off his power. "King Wuzhao, his advice is against the ear and conducive to action. The subordinate officials are straightforward, and there is a sentence that is not hidden. Not to mention the position of the crown princess, let's just say that Princess Qianyi is now living in the palace, and Prime Minister Zhuang is the uncle of the country. If he refutes his face, it is to refute the face of Queen Chu Yun. What do you think will happen to Princess Qianyi in this harem if you offend Queen Chu Yun?
Chimu was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat - not to mention the big merchant's harem, there were only a few princesses in Wu Zhao's small harem, who fought with each other. He didn't say anything but looked at it in his heart. If he wanted cinnabar to practice Shuiyun's skills, I'm afraid there would be no chance in the next life.
As the envoy said, if you provoke Queen Chu Yun and lose the position of the crown princess in vain, it will be unknown whether she can get married in the future, and it is impossible to say whether she can keep her head...
Prime Minister Zhuang's move simply hit Huanglong's army, making him neither left nor right. In addition to marrying Bai Ze as the crown concubine, cinnabar can only wait to die.
After wiping the bean-sized beads of sweat on his forehead, Akagi laughed repeatedly, "I'm just worried about the wrongdoing of the prince, and I don't mean anything else."
"So," the envoy looked tall, "Is this marriage settled like this?"
Akagi still hesitates in his heart, "Can you... wait for me to hand over a letter to discipline cinnabar?"
The envoy stood up and said, "King Wuzhao doesn't have to do this much. I'll give you a good thought for a few days. Xiaguan has one last sentence. Remember that people who toast and don't eat punishment often hurt themselves.
After saying that, the envoy threw his cold eyes and shook his sleeves away.
"Come on, prepare for the banquet!"
"No, Prime Minister Zhuang told the official that this matter is urgent. Go and come back quickly!"
Looking at the absence of the envoy's shadow, Akagi was a little stunned for a moment. He went to the back hall to have a look. Qingyun had already disappeared. I don't know if he had heard this matter, but the water cloud probe came out with a smile.
"Great! It's still the charm of the small sand, which really made Bai Ze on the hook!"
Akagi was a little annoyed and glanced at Shuiyun, "What's there to be happy about!? You are a woman. You don't know anything.
"What's wrong with women? All I know is to choose a good husband. Don't every woman think so?
"It's just you. The situation of cinnabar is different."
Shuiyun pouted aggrievedly, "What's the difference? Is it right to choose a bad situation for cinnabar?"
"I'm not saying that. It's just that this marriage is not as simple as you think. The banker wants to tie the cinnabar and Wu Zhao to the same rope at his mercy. If he really agrees to this marriage, he can only let the banker lead his nose and leave!"
Shuiyun didn't quite understand Akagi's words. She stuck out her tongue, drilled to the back hall to lay paper and grind, and lay down in front of the case to write a book for cinnabar.
