There are currently two princesses living in the Great Xia Palace, and Xiao Huiting is the princess who really has royal blood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info She spends half of her time with the Empress Dowager, helping her with government affairs and managing the court. Everyone in the palace said that Princess Huanting was the shadow of the Empress Dowager and had already had the ability to take charge of herself.

Xiao Bao'er glanced at Xiao Huiting a few more times when she sat down, this person is an out-and-out rival in love in the future.

Xiao Huiting did not inherit the beauty of the Empress Dowager, and living in the deep palace for a long time made her as rigid and boring as the rules in this palace, and her appearance in her twenties was almost the same as that in her thirties. I really want to know how such a person hooked up with Xuan Ze ~ and became a rape ~ , when the two slept in the same bed, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were as boring as now? Thinking of this, Xiao Baoer's heart began to hurt again.

Xuanze, Xuanze, how many women have you deceived for power? In order to become the rightful son of heaven in the Great Xia Dynasty, how will he deal with Xiao Huiting?

"Bao'er, do you remember what the mourning family told you? The women sitting in the Shouning Palace today are the most noble women in our court, and their children and grandchildren are also talented people in the court. ”

The Empress Dowager's words interrupted Xiao Bao'er's thoughts, except for Xuan Ze, she didn't remember any other men at all. The roster sent by Yang Gonggong a few days earlier was casually thrown into a corner and dusted. Raising her eyes to look at the noblewomen, all the women who came into contact with her gaze turned their heads to the sideways of not looking at each other. She is really annoying, and these noble ladies do not want to marry her at all!

"Empress Dowager, Bao'er saw Qingshanjun in the Imperial Garden this morning......" As soon as the words came out, the Empress Dowager's complexion did not change, but Xiao Huiting, who was standing beside her, raised her eyes. Qingshanjun said that the Son of Heaven had summoned the new science and technology scholars today and wanted to compose some excellent poems for the Empress Dowager. Bao Er wants to know if the new science and technology jinshi can be a candidate for Bao Ang's marriage? ”

The Empress Dowager's complexion finally changed, what did Xiao Baoer mean by this? Is this what Xuan Ze taught her? Do you want to get away with it, or do you want to retreat?

"Bao'er, you are the most noble princess in Great Xia, as long as the men of Great Xia have never been married, you can choose. Wan Ting, tell Bao'er about the situation of these new science and technology scholars. ”

The afternoon sun lazily shone into Shouning Palace through the window, and Xiao Bao'er stared blankly at the dappled light on the tiles. Xiao Huiting is well-informed and remembers that the situation of the new science and technology jinshi is catchy without thinking, and the stereotypical voice lingers in Xiao Baoer's ears, sometimes far away, sometimes very close, until Yao Xitong is mentioned.

Xiao Baoer has heard this name, Yao Xitong, alias Feng Gongzi. In a few years, he will be Xuanze's confidant.

A hundred years ago, at the beginning of the Great Xia, Xia Zi granted the land and the people to the royal family, meritorious heroes and nobles respectively, allowing them to establish their own territories and defend the royal family. Time passed, Xia Zi was weak, and the vassal states gradually formed four hegemons after conquest and annexation, namely Song, Qi, Chen, and Liang.

The four tyrants still respected Xia Zi as orthodox, and paid tribute every year until Xuanze led the Song Dynasty to claim the country. This move broke Bactria's rule over the Central Plains for nearly a thousand years, causing dissatisfaction among the other three vassal states, who sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty together. At that time, Xiao Bao'er was already married to Xuan Ze, and she borrowed troops from Northern Liao to defeat Chen Di. After hearing the news, Liang Di did not move, only Qi Di still stared at Song Hu.

Xiao Baoer wanted to take advantage of the victory to take Qidi, and asked Ying to lead the troops to fight several times. Xuan Ze is not allowed, and he will be chaotic in unison...... For more than a month, the land of Qi was attacked by the small barbarian country of Wu, and the lord of Qi and his relatives were all beheaded by Wu. Such an ending was too dramatic, and Xiao Bao'er didn't expect that Qidi would be attacked by a barbarian tribe with a population of less than 10,000.

After listening to Xuanze's analysis, the Lord of Qi has the support of Great Xia, and has been suppressing the small border country of Wu for many years, and he also snatched the princess of Wu a few years ago. What the Lord of Qi did had already aroused Wu's dissatisfaction, and when Great Xia was unable to support Qi, Wu found the right time to attack Qi.

A small tribe of less than 10,000 people can lay down a garrison of tens of thousands of Qi land? Xiao Baoer didn't believe it, and always felt that Xuan Ze still had something to hide from her. Asked again, Xuan Ze mentioned Feng Gongzi, Wu had the opportunity to attack Qi with the help of Feng Gongzi, as for what method Feng Gongzi used, Xuan Ze only said that he was not very clear.

Feng Gongzi, Xiao Bao'er heard of this person for the first time, and she was full of hope to compete with him on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, when she said her thoughts, she was reprimanded by Xuan Ze.

Xuan Ze said that in order to save his life, Feng Gongzi did not hesitate to betray his homeland and teach everything he had learned in the Central Plains to the barbarians. In order to have a better life, he served people with Israel and used slander to persuade the lord of Ukraine to attack Qidi. Such shameless and self-depraved characters are not worthy of Xiao Baoer's action at all.

"Bao'er, Bao'er......" The Empress Dowager called twice in succession before pulling Xiao Bao'er back from her thoughts, "Wan Ting has already finished talking about the situation of the new science and technology jinshi, I don't know if there is a favorite candidate for Bao'er?" ”

Xiao Bao'er looked at the dust that was flying in the sun, and said unexpectedly, "Back to the Empress Dowager, Bao'er wants to choose Xinke Tanhualang as her husband." ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at Princess Huanting, who hurriedly said, "Yao Xitong is a native of Qi, a rich peasant, and because of his outstanding appearance, the Son of Heaven appointed him as Tanhualang." ”

"Well, pass on Princess Bao'er's choice to the Son of Heaven!"

Xiao Huiting took the order to leave, and when she left, she glanced at Xiao Bao'er meaningfully, her eyes full of confusion and worry. She knew her mother, a politically gifted woman who was very controlling and didn't like anything more than she expected. Xiao Baoer chose Tanhualang as her husband, is this Xuanze's instruction? Or is there some news from the King of Northern Liao?

The Empress Dowager seemed to be chatting with the ladies on innocuous topics leisurely, and she decided in her heart that Tanhualang had already belonged to Qingshanjun, and Xiao Baoer's choice was nothing more than two results.

First, Tanhualang refused to marry, and Xiao Baoer took the opportunity to make a fuss. The matter of choosing a husband is not impossible, and Xuanze and the king of Northern Liao are very happy.

Second, Tanhualang refused to marry, and Xuan Ze took the initiative to stand up and ask for marriage, finding an excuse to force her to get married. Either way, it is a provocation to her authority. Thinking that she has been in charge of the government for more than 20 years, she has not experienced any winds and waves, from the first time she saw Xuanze, she knew that this person was not simple.

A lowly concubine with a biological mother was able to hide from the housemother and recommend himself to the palace as the companion of the Son of Heaven, and in a short period of time, he won the love of everyone in the palace, and coaxed the Son of Heaven to ask him about everything. Not to mention that he also hooked up with Xiao Baoer in private, making this barbarian girl obey him. What does he want for such scheming and means?

Northern Liao sent troops to help? Abolish his eldest brother and become the lord of the Song Land? Or ......

The Empress Dowager didn't think deeply, she was just a woman after all, and she couldn't have imagined that the powerless Xuan Ze actually wanted this world. She had already made up her mind that if Xuan Ze dared to stand up and ask to marry Xiao Bao'er, she would send someone to deal with this ambitious man in secret. She hates careerists, all those who don't accept their fate, try to change the rules of the game. She is such a person, and she knows very well how unscrupulous people like them can be in order to achieve their goals.

After a short time, the eunuch brought the reply of the former court to the empress dowager.

"Returning to the Empress Dowager, Tanhualang said: I have studied hard for many years, and I am dedicated to serving the court. If he marries a princess, the concubine is not allowed to enter the court as an official according to the rules, how can he be worthy of the high hall in the family who longs for him to serve the country? If the princess really admires his talent, why not give up the glory and wealth to become a chaimi couple with him? In order to repay the princess for her kindness, he begged the Son of Heaven to send her to a remote town, and he was confident that he could make the princess live a good life with his strength......"

Yao Xitong really refused to marry, and the Empress Dowager said with an unfathomable smile, "What a tanhualang, his speech is as beautiful as the article!" Boa, what do you say? ”

Xiao Baoer blinked, didn't she understand Yao Xitong too much what she wanted to express after babbling so much? She asked the eunuch who passed the message, "What do you mean by Tanhualang's words?" To marry, or not to marry? ”

The eunuch lowered his head and didn't dare to reply, the empress dowager sighed, a barbarian girl is a barbarian girl, and she can't understand the simple meaning, "Wan Ting, tell Tanhualang's words to Bao'er carefully." ”

Xiao Huiting said: "Tanhualang doesn't want to marry the princess, so he can only tell the Son of Heaven euphemistically that if he marries the princess, he will be unfilial to his parents at home." Great Xia pays attention to benevolence and filial piety in governing the country, and the Son of Heaven will not be embarrassed to explore Hualang......" Xiao Bao'er interrupted Xiao Huiting and asked, "How dare he refuse me?" The latter changed his words and continued, "Tanhualang knew that the emperor's order could not be violated, and he did not want to become a concubine, so he couldn't help but propose: If the princess really wants to marry him, she must fulfill his loyalty and filial piety. First, give up the status of a princess and marry him as a wife, instead of recruiting a horse into the palace. Second, stay away from the imperial power and live with him in a remote place. ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at Xiao Bao'er and asked, "Tanhualang replied like this, how did the Son of Heaven react?" ”

The eunuch said: "The Son of Heaven looked displeased, and only said that he had to ask the Empress Dowager and the princess about this matter." During this period, the Son of Heaven asked Tanhualang to transcribe all the poems in the hall into a book, and take them out for the evening birthday banquet as a congratulatory gift. The servant was ordered to return the matter to the Empress Dowager, and before leaving, he only listened to Qingshanjun......"

Xiao Huiting hurriedly interrupted the eunuch's narration, "Queen Mother, Tanhualang just declined, if Princess Bao'er can meet his conditions, it will not lose a good marriage." ”

The Empress Dowager ignored Xiao Huiting and said sharply to the eunuch kneeling in front of the hall: "Go on, the mourning family didn't let you stop." ”

The eunuch shuddered and whispered: "The slave heard Qingshanjun say to the Son of Heaven: Princess Bao'er has a pure temperament, and most of the palace people's evaluations of her are untrue. Since entering the palace, he has always regarded Princess Bao'er as his sister, and he does not want to make the princess sad because of this matter, and if the Son of Heaven allows, he is willing to ask to marry Princess Bao'er. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled, everything was expected. Today's birthday banquet was to catch Xuan Ze's fox tail, and things really didn't disappoint her.

"Passing on my words, Princess Bao'er is the pearl of the king of Northern Liao, symbolizing the peace between our dynasty and Northern Liao for generations. Xuan Ze, the son of Lord Song, if he really wants to marry Princess Bao'er, the mourning family will naturally agree to this marriage! ”
