Chapter 154: Prince proposes marriage

Lu Kang seemed to have thought of something, hesitated and said, "Could it be..."
"Do you know why?" Bai Junzhuo asked immediately. (See om the fastest update)
"Look at the phoenix crown on the head of the empress dowager. The skeleton is made of ivory. The boots on her feet are wrapped in elephant skin. This is a birthday gift from the Fourth Prince to the empress dowager."
Bai Jun was horrified, and lowered his voice: "Elephants are social animals, and the death of their companions will make them particularly irritable. Could it be that the four kings mentioned that they knew this before offering these things to the Queen Mother, wanting to murder the Queen Mother?"
Lu Kang shook his head: "Impossible, the Fourth Prince would not know in advance that King Nanban sent the elephant, and if he really planned to murder the queen mother, he would not have rescued her just now."
"It makes sense." Bai Junzhuo nodded: "Could it be that the present prepared by the four princes was discovered by this Urguda, so he specially prepared an elephant in order to murder the queen mother?"
Lu Kang thought for a moment, and reached out to pour a glass of wine for Bai Jun: "Miss Bai, don't worry about this. This is a business between your majesty and the master. It's better for you and me to do things. Eat more and talk less."
"Oh..." Bai Jun opened his mouth unwillingly and took his chopsticks to eat.
During the second half of the banquet, the wind was calm and the waves were quiet. At Xushi, the queen mother and the emperor left first. After a while, the ministers also scattered back.
It was Yin Mu who accompanies the queen mother to return to the palace, but Yin Xun also followed. All the way into the Queen Mother’s bedroom, the Queen Mother walked to the soft couch and sat down and asked them,
What’s the matter with your brothers. I can’t invite my family to invite me on weekdays. Why did you come with me today?

Yin Mu chuckled lightly, and instructed the mother underneath to prepare tea to soothe the nerves, and passed it over to the Queen Mother, saying, "Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, so why should the children stay with the Queen Mother for a while."
The queen mother took the tea and looked up at him and said: "Is there really nothing else?"
Yin Mu shook his head and said, "No."
The queen mother looked at Yin Xun again and asked him, "How about you? Are you just here to accompany Lai's family?"
"Erchen really wants to accompany his mother, but Erchen has something to ask for. (See om for the fastest update Yin Xun said, kneeling down, and without waiting for the queen mother to respond, he said: "Erchen and Bai Junzhuo's two loves are in harmony, and he asks the queen to marry him."
Yin Mu sighed slightly when he saw that he had said it after all. Knowing that this younger brother would not listen to persuasion was a waste of his efforts.
The queen mother ‘handled’ the cup in her hand quietly, and did not respond much, she only asked indifferently: "You really want to marry her?"
Yin Xun said earnestly and nodded: "It's not that she won't marry your son in this life."
The queen mother closed her eyes and seemed to think about it for a while, then raised her hand and said, "Get up first."
Yin Xun looked up at her and shouted: "Mother Queen..."
"The Ai's family also likes this little girl'very well', and she made a great contribution and was sealed off again." The queen mother interrupted him, and Yin Xun's expression of joy appeared on her face when she said this.
"But if you marry you and be a concubine, you would be wronged by her."
Yin Xun was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Mother, the son-chen did not intend to marry her as a concubine, but a concubine."
The queen mother's eyes suddenly sharpened and asked him: "You marry her as a concubine, what about Yunyue?"
"Erchen didn't plan to marry Miss Fujia." The Queen Mother Yin Xun looked at her, her attitude did not give in.
"You..." The queen mother stood up on the couch and pointed at Yin Xun. Yin Mu hurriedly got up to help her and said: "Don't be angry with the queen mother, the ninth brother doesn't mean to disobey you."
The queen mother stared at him for a long time, her expression returned to her calmness, she slowly sat down, and sighed: "The child is older, so I won't listen to my mother."
Yin Xun had to lower his head and softened his tone: "The mother's queen is serious. In the children's mind, the mother's queen has always been the first. It's just this matter, and the children want to be the second master."
The Queen Mother sighed heavily again, and raised her hand and said: "It's nothing, you go back first, Rong Ai's family think about it. (See om for the fastest update
"Are you going to reply to the children in three days?" Yin Xun asked nonchalantly.
The Queen Mother was a little helpless on her face, but after all she just nodded slightly and said, "Three days will be three days."
"Thank you, Empress." Yin Xun got up and left Jingyang Palace.
After he left, Yin Mu asked, "Is the queen mother wanting to mate Bai Junzhuo to the ninth brother?"
"Otherwise?" The Queen Mother asked, "Don't you know his'sex'? The Aijia only complained that he was too petting in his early years, which made him increasingly disobedient."
"Erchen feels that it is not a high climb to match the ninth brother as Bai Junzhuo at this time, maybe it is a good marriage."
"Identity?" The Queen Mother sneered, "Why does the royal family's marriage only depend on identity, but also on the whole family behind that person. What does her Bai family have?"
"Queen..."
"Okay, okay," the queen mother interrupted him impatiently: "Knowing that your brothers are in a good relationship, you don't have to persuade you, let Ae's family think about it. You should go back to rest soon.
Yin Mu had no choice but to stop talking, nodded and said: "The queen should rest earlier, and the children will leave."
Yin Mu left Jingyang Palace. The queen mother closed her eyes and thought for a while, then called the superintendent Madam Cao to wait for her to rest, but when she saw the palace people came in and said, "The queen mother, the king of Nanban, please see me.
"He?" The queen mother frowned. It's so late, he still doesn't leave the palace, what will he do with her?
"If the queen mother is tired, the servant will go out and let him leave." Madam Cao said immediately.
The queen mother hesitated for a while, shook her head and said: "No, let him in."
The palace man went out and soon welcomed Urguda in.
When Uguda saw the queen mother, his ‘fat’ body "poofed" to the ground and knelt down. He bowed his head, not looking at the queen, nor talking.
When the queen mother saw him, she came over alone, without any entourage, so she asked him: "It's so late, what's the point for you to come to see Aijia?"
Only then did Uguda raise his head, full of guilt and sadness, and said to the queen mother: "The queen mother, I am here to apologize specially. When I chose an elephant in the Southern Barbarian country, I specially chose a young one. The mother elephant is afraid that it will scare the queen mother by being disobedient. I didn't expect that just now... if it really hurts the empress mother's body, I, I will have no face to go back to southern Xinjiang!"
"Haha," the queen mother sneered, looking at him with a knife in her eyes, and said: "I didn't hurt the mourning family, so I didn't have the face to go back to Nanjiang."
"No, no, how could it be possible?" Urguda said with a hippy smile: "The empress dowager is like a in the hearts of the people of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. Who in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom doesn't know that the Queen Mother of Lebanon is the real ruler of the Queen Mother. Every mother, a "female", has taken care of one of Noda's Li Guo in good order. It is simply a "female" god!"
The queen mother still sneered, turning her head to no longer look at him, and said coldly: "Since the family of Ai is like a in your Southern Barbarian country, why is your father sternly and aggressively trying to annex the southern part of Li Kingdom A small country between the southern barbarian country?"
"Nothing!" Urguda quickly denied, "It is normal for small frontier countries to have frictions, and for so many years, our southern barbarian country has never crossed the border of Lebanon privately for half a mile. There is absolutely no ambition. , No ambition."
"You didn't cross the border of Lebanon, not because you had no ambition, but because you were afraid of General Weiyuan." The queen mother interrupted him calmly.
"No, no! We have no ambition and no courage," Uguda shook his head like a'wave' drum, and said to the queen mother: "Our southern barbarian country is now busy with internal'chaos'. The queen mother also knows, definitely There won't be the trouble of trying to find Li Guo."
"Yes, the Ai family knows that the king of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom is seriously ill, and several princes are busy fighting for the throne." The queen mother's eyes are sharp, and she seems to be able to see through him: "But who knows that you didn't want to come here to assassinate the Ai's family for meritorious service and win the Southern Barbarian King. s position?"
Uguda lowered his head and dared not speak, completely frightened by the queen mother's momentum.
"As long as the Ai family sends troops now, it will be a matter of hand to take the Nan Barbarian Kingdom." The queen mother paused and changed her tone of voice: "It's just that the Ai family is getting older, so it will inevitably be soft-hearted. Thinking of you Nan Barbarian and Li Guo also A country of brothers, we must be in harmony with each other and keep the two countries peaceful. Don’t be ignorant of you!"
"I, we..." Urguda was blushing and couldn't say a word.
"The Aijia just reminds you, your little Nanban country don't want to play any tricks, honestly, the Aijia will naturally not move you." Then the queen mother raised her hand and said, "Okay, get up. , Let’s talk about why I came to see Lai’s family so late."
Only then did Uguda show a smile again, and his expression was a bit wretched: "Since ancient times, the two countries have had a lot of friendly relations with each other. My Uguda is thirty years old. I didn’t even marry the princess. I want to ask a princess from Li Guo to be the princess, so that I can join the Qin and Jin Dynasties forever. If I become the king of Nanban in time, then the princess must be the princess of Nanban. Please also ask the queen mother to complete!"
"Do you want to marry our Li State princess?" The Queen Mother looked at him up and down, with some contempt in her eyes, but she didn't show the slightest in her tone, and said: "I have always had many princes and very few princesses. There are only two princesses, one is the three-year-old grandson of the Ai family, and naturally cannot marry you. The other is the general Hongyin who kicked his legs away at today’s dinner, more than you Five years older, do you want it?"
Uguda's eyes rolled, and the ‘female’ general looked pretty good despite her age. But her foot strength is too amazing, like her legs can be kicked open, let alone his body? What if he kicks him to death if he doesn't go as he wants?
He shook his head quickly and said, "No more, no more."
"That's it, there is no princess suitable for you in Ai's family." The queen mother teased: "If you are good at Longyang, Ai's family can also reward you with a good-looking clan king of the same age."
Wu Gu Da waved his hand again and again: "No no, I don't like the butt-playing one."
His language is so vulgar, the queen mother was irritated by him, and she smiled and said: "If this is the case, you should not kneel here and delay Lai's rest anymore, go down."
Uguda seemed a little disappointed, patted her knees and stood up, looked at the queen mother pitifully, and turned away helplessly.
He was just about to leave the big ‘door’ of the bedroom, the queen mother seemed to think of something, and suddenly shouted to him: "Hold on!"
