Concubine's poisonous plot

Chapter 406 Proposal

At this time, Wei Shutong's title also changed, not sister, but queen.

It's not that Queen Wei didn't hear it, but she didn't stop it.

"I hope my brother can represent the Wei family to propose marriage to Princess Qing."

Wei Shutong was such a smart person and immediately understood what she wanted to do.

"Do you want to fulfill Wuji's wish and then let the fifth prince marry Xiang'er and let her go to Western Qin to become the queen?"

Queen Wei nodded and said: "Since we have this opportunity in front of us, why can't we seize it? We didn't have this plan before, and we didn't have the conditions... Now the fifth prince has arrived, and the relationship between our Daxia and Western Qin , obviously at the critical moment of the turning point, a legitimate princess marries their legitimate prince, and both parties are sincere enough."

Wei Shutong nodded, he understood Queen Wei's intentions.

"Has the Queen ever thought that Xiang'er doesn't want to...and we haven't trained her in that direction in these years..."

Queen Wei said: "Just because she doesn't want to, doesn't mean she's not suitable. As long as Da Xia is there, Xi Qin won't dare to do anything to her. Becoming a queen can also be learned slowly. As the daughter of this palace, marrying No one can rely solely on their own preferences."

Empress Wei also changed her title unknowingly. After hearing this, Wei Shutong said: "I'm afraid it may not go so smoothly... Princess Qing's marriage is not in the hands of the emperor, and even the queen mother may not be able to tell the story of the eldest princess. "

Empress Wei said: "They don't need to nod. As long as the Wei family asks for marriage, others will know Wuji's thoughts about Princess Qing, and they will also know that this is also what the Wei family means. The fifth prince is with a smart man, facing someone who has made a reservation There is a concubine princess and a legitimate princess without any rumors, so she should know how to choose."

This sentence was full of calculations. She didn't care at all whether Wei Wuji and Princess Qing could succeed. Anyway, reputation didn't have high requirements for men.

If they fail to succeed by then, it will not affect Wei Wuji's ability to marry someone else.

It's just that after Princess Qing's experience, there is no hope if she wants to marry into a family that is too high.

At this time, Wei Shutong cooled down Queen Wei and said, "Have you ever thought about it, if the fifth prince really likes Princess Qing, he will not back down just because Princess Qing already has other suitors. Princess Qing’s marriage has been decided, and she will not continue to choose among other people in Daxia, but will directly return to Western Qin..."

Queen Wei said: "Even so, it doesn't matter. In short, it is to cut off Xiao Luoqing's path to become the queen of Western Qin."

Wei Shutong sighed and said, "Little sister, Concubine De has been dead for many years..."

"She has been dead for many years, but it does not affect the fact that I am still angry when I think of her..." Queen Wei's words, at this time, she no longer had the dignity and grandeur in front of others, she was just a unruly sister who acted coquettishly with her brother.

Wei Shutong had no choice but to say something else, so he could only say: "If you must do this, I will go back and make preparations."

Queen Wei did not tell Xiao Xiang'er what happened because she didn't want to see her go crazy.

As a mother, she had just listened to her daughter's cry and had to take charge of her natal family and help her daughter's sweetheart propose marriage to someone she hated. This should be particularly uncomfortable for her daughter, so she couldn't say it.

She is also at this age. If she really can go to Western Qin to become the queen, she will experience more things in the future, and she will definitely not be able to only think about her own emotions like she is now.

When Wei Shutong left, he happened to meet Wei Lanzhen.

The two briefly talked for a few words, and Wei Lanzhen already understood what Wei Shutong wanted to do and what Empress Wei wanted.

"Second uncle, it's better to discuss it with Wuji first. After all, this is to help him propose marriage. If you bypass him, things will develop differently than everyone imagined. According to his character, it will not be good for us."

Wei Shutong was hesitant at first, but after hearing this, he made up his mind: "Well, we really should tell him. This can be regarded as fulfilling his wish."

Wei Lanzhen looked at Wei Shutong's leaving figure, then looked in the direction of Queen Wei's palace, and thought about it but still didn't go there.

Empress Wei thought the problem was simple this time, mainly because she thought Wei Wuji was simple.

Others may not understand her brother, but he understands that when it comes to Princess Qing, he won't be as calm as usual.

When Wei Shutong returned home, he went directly to find Wei Wuji.

Naturally, there is not so much nonsense between father and son. Wei Shutong asked him directly if he liked Princess Qing, which made Princess Xiang sad.

When Wei Wuji saw that things were already like this, he nodded and admitted.

Wei Shutong sighed and said, "Then there is no need for you to make Xiang'er so angry..."

Wei Wuji said: "Does my father want me to give her hope and keep holding her up like this? What if she really goes to express her feelings to her aunt and says she wants to marry me, and my aunt's decree comes down, wouldn't I have to marry someone who is different from me? Live your life with the woman you like..."

His words must be particularly reasonable when applied to others, but this was Princess Xiang, the Princess Xiang who grew up with him. Wei Shutong was still a little upset.

"So you have identified Princess Qing?"

Wei Wuji had already heard that there was something wrong with his tone, and it probably had something to do with his entry into the palace this time.

He said: "If you have something to say, father, you might as well say it directly. What did your aunt say when she summoned you to the palace?"

Wei Shutong sighed and said: "Originally, your aunt and I were happy to see the matter between you and Xiang'er come to an end, but I already know your thoughts and your character. Your aunt doesn't want to embarrass you. , I don’t want to wrong Xiang’er, so if you really want to marry Princess Qing, I will go to court tomorrow and I will help you propose the marriage.”

Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I won't bother my father anymore. This is not the right time to do this."

Wei Shutong was also a little hesitant. He was actually unwilling?

"Don't you only have Princess Qing in your heart, and you also said that even if she is married, you will silently bless her and always leave a place for her in your heart?"

Wei Wuji did not deny it. He looked at Wei Shutong and said, "Yes, this is indeed what I said, but after my father discussed with my aunt this time, he helped me propose marriage. Isn't this just to make me lose some opportunities?"

Wei Shutong knew that his son was smart, but he was a little surprised that he saw through this plan at a glance.

"You shouldn't ask for this marriage when you go to court. If my father is really serious about it, he should mention it to the eldest princess first. The purpose of mentioning it directly in the court is to let everyone know that Princess Qing is the one our Wei family likes. Yes, no matter what kind of consort the eldest princess chooses for her in the future, they have to pass the test of our Wei family and let them retreat before the difficulties, right? Father, since you don’t respect Princess Qing, then don’t ask for help. I proposed marriage and harmed my sweetheart in the name of fulfilling my wish."
