Chapter 1208: The Heart of Defense

Lin Wan took out the letter paper and looked at it at a glance, except for those polite words, Lan Shengtian only said one thing in the letter, that is, he hoped that Zhou Changan would wait for Lan Ziheng to arrive in the capital and get engaged to Lan Ziheng and Lu Manting in the Great Seal Kingdom. Then, let Lan Ziheng take his fiancΓ©e Lu Manting to participate in the concubine selection banquet of Xiling Kingdom.

No wonder Zhou Changan and Zhou Tianqi's faces were so solemn, it turned out that it was because Lan Ziheng and Lu Manting were going to Xiling Kingdom to cause trouble for Lin Wan.

Lin Wan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, why is this Lu Manting so pestering? Why does she always follow her? No, it's the Apocalypse brother who follows her. Thinking of this, Lin Wan couldn't help but glare at Zhou Tianqi hatefully. As if to say, look, it's all the rotten peach blossoms you provoked!

Zhou Tianqi looked at Lin Wan innocently, sighed silently, lowered his eyes, and did not make unnecessary excuses.

Lin Wan stuffed the letter back into the envelope, put the envelope back on Zhou Changan's desk with both hands, and then calmly returned to his seat and sat down, without expressing any opinion.

Seeing Lin Wan's indifferent look, Zhou Changan couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Wan'er, do you have any opinions on Emperor Lan's request?"

Lin Wan smiled faintly and said, "Father, since the emperor of Nanyue is so anxious to marry Sister Lu as his daughter-in-law, of course we have to fulfill him." However, how can it be just an engagement? How could the princess Heshuo of our Great Feudal Kingdom follow Prince Lan in such an incomprehensible way? Of course, we have to marry in a beautiful way. We can hold a wedding for Prince Lan and Sister Lu in the Great Feudal Kingdom according to the ceremony of our Great Feudal Kingdom, and after Prince Lan and Sister Lu return to China, the Nanyue Kingdom can hold another wedding for them according to the ceremony of their Nanyue Kingdom. The customs of the two countries are different, and there will not be much conflict, but Prince Liulan and Sister Lu will stay in the capital for a while longer. However, the concubine selection feast of Xiling Kingdom is on the eighth day of the fourth month, and there is still a long time before now, if everything goes well, they will definitely not miss their trip. ”

Zhou Changan listened to Lin Wan's words, couldn't help but show an appreciative look, nodded with a smile, and said, "What Wan'er said is extremely true, and I also feel that I can't wronged Manting's girl." I will let Cao Jian Zheng go to investigate, no matter what, I will pick a good day at the beginning of next month, so that Prince Lan and Princess Heshuo can get married in our Great Feudal Kingdom. ”

Lin Wan smiled silently, her purpose was just to let Lan Ziheng and Lu Manting not arrive at the imperial city of Xiling Kingdom so quickly, as for how the wedding of the two of them would be held, it was not in her consideration. Of course, if you make some moves on the road, I'm afraid that Lan Ziheng and Lu Manting won't be able to catch up with the concubine selection feast of Xiling Kingdom.

Zhou Changan called to Father-in-law Qi outside the hall: "Qi Hai, come in and obey orders." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Father-in-law Qi immediately received the order and hurriedly walked in from outside the hall at a trot. Standing respectfully in front of Zhou Chang'an, he bowed down and obeyed his orders.

Zhou Chang'an thought for a while, handed the envelope on the table to Father-in-law Qi, and ordered in a deep voice: "Qi Hai, pass on my message, and order Cao Jian to choose a good day in early March to let Prince Lan and Princess Heshuo hold a wedding banquet in the national palace; Please rest assured that Emperor Lan, my Great Seal Kingdom will not neglect Prince Lan and the crown princess. ”

Gonggong Qi took the envelope with both hands, bowed down to receive the order, and said, "Yes, the emperor, the slave obeys the order!" After speaking, he took two steps back, turned around and walked out of the Qinzheng Hall quickly.

The tranquility in the hall was restored, and Zhou Changan looked at the two children in front of him, his eyes were very complicated, some were reluctant, some were not at ease, there was hope, there was expectation, and there was pride and pride.

After a long time, Zhou Changan slowly opened his mouth and asked with concern: "Qi'er, Wan'er, the Yulin Army is already waiting for you outside the palace, and the people of the capital have also gone to the south gate, waiting to see you off, are you all ready?"

Zhou Tianqi turned his head to look at Lin Wan, and saw that Lin Wan nodded, before he bowed to Zhou Changan, and said expressionlessly: "Thank you for your care, Erchen and Wan'er are ready and ready to leave at any time." ”

Zhou Changan nodded, raised his eyes to look at Lin Wan, and asked worriedly, "Wan'er, if Lan Ziheng and Lu Manting also go to Xiling Kingdom, will it affect your plans?"

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Father, Wan'er has no plan, so there is no impact. Wan'er and the Seventh Emperor Brother went to Xiling Kingdom, just to assist His Royal Highness Prince Ximen to regain the imperial power of Xiling Kingdom, and everything was done according to His Royal Highness Prince Ximen's plan. Prince Lan and Sister Lu went to participate in the concubine selection feast, and it had no impact on the overall situation of Xiling Kingdom. What's more, the envoy who is now representing the Nanyue Kingdom to Xiling State is the newly appointed Zuo Prime Minister Xu Nuo of the Nanyue Kingdom, and Prince Lan is just going to Xiling Kingdom to join in the fun at the request of the future crown princess. As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Tianqi, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, Lu Manting was going towards Zhou Tianqi.

Zhou Changan also knew the reason for this, but he still frowned slightly, and instructed: "Qi'er, Wan'er, no matter what, you must not be careless." Although I know that you have a good personal relationship with Prince Simon, you cannot be completely unguarded. In case Ximen Yuqing, out of various considerations, finally fell to the Nanyue Kingdom, it would be very bad for our Great Feudal State. ”

Lin Wan frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "What my father said is not impossible, but with Wan'er here, such a thing will never happen." Moreover, Wan'er believed that if His Royal Highness Prince Ximen wanted to cooperate with the Nanyue Kingdom, he would have already allied with the Nanyue Kingdom, so how could he wait until today? In the first place, the Nanyue Kingdom sent Princess Ziling to the Prince of Ximen for the purpose of marrying the two countries and reaching an alliance. However, His Royal Highness Prince Simon did not agree. Brother Ximen once said to Wan'er that the wolf ambition of Nanyue is not trustworthy, and he will not risk cooperating with Nanyue and finally become the puppet of Nanyue. ”

Zhou Changan nodded slightly, seemed to be relieved, and said with a smile: "Okay, in that case, I wish you success and a triumphant return! ”

"Thank you, Emperor!" Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan were overjoyed, bowed down at the same time, and thanked Zhou Changan in unison.

Lin Wan thought about it, took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, handed it to Zhou Changan with both hands, and said sincerely: "Father, this is the antidote pill refined by Xiao Qi, which can detoxify all kinds of poisons. Please accept it from your father in case you need it. ”
