Zhao Jinyan's gaze couldn't help but stop on Fu Yuan's face, Fu Yuan didn't know what Zhao Jinyan was thinking at this time, she saw that when she asked this sentence, her face changed uncertainly, and the look on her face ...... It also seems to be a little subtle.

She also thought that the words she asked touched some taboo, and she couldn't help but look at Zhao Jinyan with some apprehension.

And this focused demeanor, falling in Zhao Jinyan's eyes, added a layer of conclusive evidence to some thoughts in his heart.

His expression became more and more embarrassed, and he should have felt embarrassed, although he didn't think of Fleur as someone's woman anymore, but not long ago, he was troubled by this question. And he has always thought that he is frank and open, and he has always thought that he is taking care of Fleur as a sister. But at this moment, when he thought of this thing that should have made him feel angry and even unacceptable, he didn't feel too disgusted in his heart. On the contrary, he looked at the hibiscus in front of him, and there was a little bit of indescribable meaning in his heart.

Zhao Jinyan suddenly had a feeling of wanting to run away from the wilderness at this moment, and the reason why he had such a feeling was not because of what he thought Fu Rui had for him, but because he faintly discovered this panic in his feelings.

However, at this time, it is impossible for him to really run away, this is not his demeanor and principles, and it is not in line with his character.

He took a slight breath, a smile reappeared on his face, and he looked at Fu Hui and said softly: "My cousin is too worried, but a person's identity and status have changed, and his temperament will naturally change." And...... Whether it's for your father or brother, I will take good care of you. ”

After saying this, he couldn't wait to speak at Fu Hui and said: "I've been standing here and saying a lot of things, cousin, go back quickly, otherwise if I get sick, I won't be at ease." ”

"No, I'm in good health."

Fu Yuan didn't think much about Zhao Jinyan's words, so she believed them all, after all, Zhao Jinyan didn't have to lie to her.

Under Zhao Jinyan's repeated urging, she finally got up and walked inside.

But what Fleur didn't know was that Zhao Jinyan, who was supposed to leave, was standing in place, quietly watching her departing figure, with an inexplicable look in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The birthday of the eldest princess of Jinyang, although the most important people in the court are all present, but outsiders do not know, in the eyes of outsiders, the birthday of the eldest princess of Jinyang can be said to be the most miserable in history.

There was no grand banquet, and there were no special grand rewards in the palace, some were just the most ordinary gifts prepared by the Internal Affairs Office, and the people in the palace and the court seemed to have forgotten about this matter.

All of a sudden, the news that the eldest princess of Jinyang had fallen out of favor was uproar, but the three masters of the eldest princess of Jinyang's mansion had stayed in the mansion recently because of the gloomy climate of winter, and they didn't go out, so they didn't seem to have taken the news that spread everywhere in Beijing at all. Of course, knowing or not knowing is another matter.

The news of the eldest princess of Jinyang falling out of favor is also spreading everywhere in this capital, but there is also news that Mobei has come to the messenger.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, neighbors will come to celebrate.

Zhao Jinyan's ascension to the throne is no exception, but other friendly countries have already come, and in the future of Mobei, the entire dynasty does not feel anything strange, after all, over the years, the relationship between this dynasty and the Mobei royal court is very delicate. The border between the two sides has not been at war for some years, but the one who fought the most with this dynasty at the beginning was Mobei. The reason why the friendly surface is maintained now is only because Mobei was beaten hard at the beginning.

Of course, the price paid by this dynasty is not a lot, especially when Xia Jue was the commander of the Yanzhen Army, he was almost wiped out......

Mobei has always been a big threat to this dynasty, it is a wolf lurking in the north, and the reason why the imperial court did not make a ruthless effort to clean it up is naturally a lot of considerations, not to mention the manpower and material resources to clean up Mobei, just talking about the characteristics of the entire nomadic people in Mobei is enough to give the court a headache. The people of Mobei have grown up on horseback since childhood, although the environment is barren and harsh, and even in winter, it is difficult to maintain their livelihood if they do not rob the border people of their finances, but what is indelible is the courage and good fighting in their bones, and they are simply a nation that can be ready to fight at any time. Women and children, all of them can stand up to the soldiers of the imperial army on the battlefield.

Of course, it's not that the imperial court is afraid of them, so they don't fight, but a more important reason is meaningless, that is, the imperial army really beat Mobei to the ground, and even invaded the royal court in Mobei, but for a nation like them, a royal court is gone, and a new royal court will be established for you in a blink of an eye, unless all the people in their Mobei are slaughtered, but this is obviously unrealistic.

Therefore, under these factors, even if the people of this dynasty are extremely disgusted with Mobei, the imperial court is also eager to deal with Mobei quickly, but basically they are only passive and will not take the initiative to provoke and attack. After all, many things can be done by using the financial and material resources of Mobei to invest in other aspects of the country.

And over the years, it has been more than ten years since Wen Jinghui personally led the army to attack Mobei, and Mobei may have really learned a lesson, although there are occasional harassment of the border people, but they no longer dare to be as unscrupulous as before, so the imperial court has not taken any measures against Mobei except for letting the army be stationed at the border.

But the two sides are far from reaching the point of becoming friends, this time, although Mobei came late, it will come to celebrate the registration of the new emperor, which is still unexpected by the imperial court.

Anyone who has a bit of brains is probably already thinking about the intention of Mobei's move at this time.

This matter has nothing to do with the Jinyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, after all, the Yanzhen Army, which is now used to deal with the main army of Mobei, is no longer surnamed Xia, and Fu Hui These days, I have heard the little maids in the mansion begin to describe these Mobei envoys who have entered the capital.

"Those Mobei people, with big beards and figures, are even stronger than the two guards in our house, walking on the street like a bear walking."

The little maids are the first to notice, and what will judge is naturally their appearance.

Fleur listened to the descriptions of the little maids, but she was also a little curious. Speaking of which, since she was born, this dynasty and Mobei are almost on the verge of breaking off diplomatic relations, and there will naturally be no Mobei people in Beijing, and she has indeed never seen Mobei people, only seen the description of this place from the book, but the book describes it like that, how can there be the description of these little maids who have seen it with their own eyes.

Hearing the little maids' description, Fu Hui rarely smiled and said: "I have seen it in books before, and it is said that this Mobei people have grown up eating cattle and sheep since childhood, and beef and mutton milk are their main things, so it is not surprising that they are strong." ”

"It turns out that Mobei people are so rich and eat meat every day......"

When the little maids heard this, they couldn't help but marvel. This dynasty is relatively wealthy, but ordinary people do not eat meat every day.

"It's not, it's just that the land in Mobei is barren, there is very little food that can grow, and most of the land only grows grass, so the people of Mobei make a living by grazing." Fu Hui thought for a while and then said: "I heard that the cattle, sheep and horses in Mobei are indeed very good, but they are still very poor, especially in winter, many people will starve to death and freeze to death. ”

"On our side, cows, sheep, and horses are all valuable items, and if they are exchanged for food and clothing, they will definitely be enough to eat for a long time, and they will not starve to death and freeze to death......

The little maid listened to Fleur's words, but she was still a little puzzled. In fact, Fluff herself is a little puzzled, but she knows only a little about it, and she has only seen some of it cursory from books, and there are too many political factors involved in really trading with each other.

But she still smiled and sighed: "Mobei's war horses are indeed very good, my uncle used to have a Mobei war horse, I have seen it, and it is always a little different from other horses, and the horse master in the palace has also thought about breeding Mobei's horses, but I don't know how, the horses born seem to be no longer the appearance of those war horses in Mobei, and there are not many Mobei horses in the court, and it is impossible to conduct experiments to find out the reason." ”

Fu Hui also heard the former emperor sigh, saying that this place in Mobei is poor mountains and bad waters, and there are no good things, but this war horse, we are indeed not as good as others.

The last wish of the emperor is probably also the regret of the imperial court!

And at the time when Fleur was talking to the little maid, what she didn't know was that above the court, a major event was happening that was closely related to her fate.

"Honorable emperor, I, the royal court of the Northern Desert, am willing to hire a thousand war horses to marry you as the queen of the county lord of Chaonanyi, so that the two states will always be friendly."

Three days after the envoy of the Northern Desert arrived in Beijing, Zhao Jinyan aimed at the court and met with the envoy of the Northern Desert, but unexpectedly, when the envoy of the Northern Desert met with Zhao Jinyan, he went straight to the point, and directly put forward the real purpose of the trip in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military faces.

Not only Zhao Jinyan was caught off guard, but the other officials above the court were also a little stunned.

However, when they heard clearly what the Northern Desert envoy said, almost all the people in the court did not show an angry look on their faces, and some even nodded approvingly. Just because of this time, the envoys sent by the Northern Desert Royal Court were rare to be so courteous, and put forward an idea that was extremely beneficial to them.

Even in the early days of the establishment of this dynasty, every few years, a princess would go to the northern desert to exchange the border tranquility for her relatives, in exchange for a period of rest and recuperation.

It was only later that the country gradually became rich and strong, and the previous emperor of the Zhao family was extremely iron-blooded, that this humiliating way of making peace with relatives was completely changed.

Of course, this time, the method of harmony proposed by the envoy of the Northern Desert Royal Court did not want to be so humiliated as before, and not only sent women, but also sent money and tribute. On the contrary, in order to promote this peace, the Northern Desert Royal Court paid a much heavier price, not only sacrificed the most precious war horse, but even made a promise.

Of course, the promise is just to listen, but these thousand war horses are enough to impress.

I am afraid that most people in the court think the same, the price of using a woman is too slight, and it is simply taking advantage. Thinking like this, they naturally looked at the emperor sitting on the high dragon chair with courteous eyes, and only waited for the emperor to agree, and the matter was settled.

But the emperor sitting on the top did not show any joy and excitement on his face, he even looked at the envoy of the Northern Desert Royal Court with a somewhat expressionless face, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "I don't know, my reputation as the lord of Nanyi County has spread to the Northern Desert Royal Court. ”

It would not be surprising if this Northern Desert envoy only said that he wanted to make peace, or that he wanted the princess to make peace, but why did he point directly at Xia Furui, which is very meaningful.

When the Northern Desert envoy heard this, he was not flustered, but replied with a light smile: "The emperor doesn't know, back then, my Northern Desert royal court asked you for a kiss, and the person who asked for it was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Jinyang, but at that time it failed to promote this marriage, and now it is just to make up for this regret on the children." ”

As soon as this Northern Desert envoy talked about this incident, many people also recalled that there was indeed such a thing.

It's just that the original thing is still a little difficult to talk about. When the Northern Desert Royal Court came to ask for marriage, the eldest princess of Jinyang had already married Xia Jue, and this plea of the Northern Desert Royal Court looked more like a provocation. Now who would have expected that the other party would say this matter so beautifying, most people are actually shameless in their hearts, but when they thought of the bargaining chips brought by the Northern Desert Royal Court to ask for marriage this time, no one debunked this fact.

After listening to the words of the envoy, a civil official under Yang Ming also stood up in line, and said to Zhao Jinyan with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Northern Desert Royal Court's courtship this time is a great happy event, not to mention, it is also a reparation for the friendship between our two countries that we have not been able to conclude by marriage and neighbors......

Before the civil official's words fell, suddenly Ji Donghai suddenly stood up with a sneer, and after he saluted Zhao Jinyan respectfully, he said in a cold voice: "Lord Wang is not joking, when the Northern Desert Royal Court came to ask for marriage, our eldest princess of Jinyang was already married, and it was clearly ill-intentioned, why did it become a regret when it came to your mouth?!" ”

That Lord Wang has been an official in the court for decades, and naturally he clearly remembers the truth of the Northern Desert's courtship, when the Northern Desert came to ask for marriage, there was indeed a provocation, and after being rejected, he violated the border on a large scale, and Xia Jue, who was still newly married at the time, in order to fight for a breath back, but a few days after the wedding, he put on his armor and rushed to the battlefield, and the result was unsatisfactory, not only defeated, but also defeated......

But as an official in the court, if there are some hurtful scenes, they will never be able to say it, and what they are best at is naturally whitewashing the peace.

Lord Wang only squinted at Ji Dongming, and responded with the same sneer: "General Ji's words are wrong, the Northern Desert Royal Court was one step late, isn't it a pity?" Now they are coming with sincerity, the lord of Nanyi is not married, and the queen of the Northern Desert is waiting for him, which is not a good thing. ”
