38 The princess does not marry

Xinning's crying was shocking, and only three words were shouted in her mouth - "I won't marry!" ”。

She cried so much that Xiao Yu looked a little overwhelmed. He hugged Xinning in his arms, gently stroked Xinning's back, frowned deeply and asked, "Marry?" Did the queen say that? Who to marry? ”

Xinning's eyes were so swollen that she couldn't see Ren'er: "Queen...... The queen said that the Mongolian Khan wants to make peace with our heaven/dynasty and wants to ...... me Marry me to the prince of the Mongol Khan! ”

Mongolia borders the northern part of the Tian/Chao, and its people are fierce and barbaric, and they have constantly invaded the northern border of the Yan Kingdom, until the Great Tian/Dynasty dominates the world, and then the Tai/Zu Emperor is forced back to the steppe with hundreds of thousands of heroes, and thus submits to the Tian/Chao.

There were only ten days left on Xiao Qing's birthday, and the lords of many neighboring countries of friendly countries had arrived in Beijing to congratulate him, and although the Mongol Khan had not been there in person, he had also sent envoys.

It's just that the current Khan of Mongolia is very different from the leaders of other countries, and it is also different from those Khans of Mongolia before them. He was the leader of the tribe next to the Khan in front of him, and he became the new Khan after cutting down all the generals, occupying the water and grass of the man, and sleeping with the woman.

The new khan can be said to be a vast grassland, and in recent days, he has often led troops to invade the border of the Celestial/Korean Dynasty, which has the meaning of demonstrating against the Celestial Dynasty. The envoy he sent was even more in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, proposing that the prince of the Khan yearns for the princess of the Heaven/Dynasty, and the implication is basically to provoke Xiao Qing, if you don't marry the princess to me, I will keep harassing you on the border of the Heaven/Dynasty.

Datian/Chao is a state of etiquette, the wind and rain are smooth for the country and the people for so many years, there has not been much fighting, and now if you really fight with this unreasonable barbarian, you may not be able to win the battle, so there are ministers in the court to Xiao Qing to mention yì and accept the invitation of the Mongolian Khan.

Xiao Qing also has a few princesses in addition to Xinning, but only Xinning is barely old enough to get married.

Xiao Yu gently wiped Xinning's tears while contemplating: "Xinning, is this what the queen means, or is it the old man's meaning?" ”

Xinning cried breathlessly: "The queen just called me and my mother to go, I ...... I don't know what my father thinks. ”

"Since the old man hasn't spoken yet, then this may just be the queen's meaning, and before the old man nods, the queen's words don't count at all."

Xin Ning raised her eyes and sobbed twice, and buried her head in Xiao Yu's chest, as if she had been comforted: "Fourth brother, I won't marry anyone!" I just like you alone, I just want to be with you and stay with you for the rest of my life! ”

Xiao Yu smiled helplessly and whispered silently: "You and I are brother and sister, a lifetime is so long, if you think like this now, maybe not in the future." ”

Xin Ning stuck to Xiao Yu and shook her head vigorously: "I want to think so!" I want to be with you! I don't care about anything else! ”

"Okay, okay, then you think so." Xiao Yu purred her head, "Tired, sleep?" ”

Xinning nodded and lay down on the bed. Xiao Yu covered her with a brocade quilt, and just as she was about to get up, she suddenly stretched out her little hand and grabbed Xiao Yu's sleeve: "Fourth brother, where are you going?!" You are not allowed to go! ”

Xiao Yu looked back at her with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not leaving, and I have nowhere to go." Sleep, I'll stay here. ”

Xin Ning curled her mouth with satisfaction and fell asleep comfortably.

After Xiao Yu fell asleep in Xinning, he walked around to the table, rolled his eyes with his chin, and quietly pulled the paper, ink, pen and inkstone in front of him.

He closed his eyes and muttered for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes and swept a few wisps of ink freely—he was drawing, and he was painting portraits.

In just a moment, Xinning's appearance was perfectly outlined on the paper, lifelike and radiant. Xiao Yu looked at Xinning on the painting and smiled, and added two more strokes next to Xinning.

This time, he drew himself on paper. This is fun, there are two similarities between the eyebrows of two people, one big and one small, and the expressions of the two people seem to be looking at each other affectionately, and those who don't know will think that this painting is a couple of lovers.

Xiao Yu lowered his head and blew on the ink that had not dried, put the painting aside, and brushed on another piece of white paper.

He still paints portraits, but the person who is painted on paper is no longer Xinning, nor is it his mother.

The person he painted was Tang Ai, but it was not just Tang Ai.

In other words, he did not paint Tang Ai in men's clothes, but Tang Ai in women's clothes with bright eyes.

Tang Ai in the painting is wearing a flowing skirt, beautiful eyes, clever smile, light posture, and moving, which can definitely be regarded as an unforgettable beautiful woman.

Xiao Yu closed the momentum, smiled at Tang Ai in the painting, and whispered to himself: "Tang Ai, when will I see you like this?" ”

It's really funny, Xiao Yu is not the only one who is talking about Tang Ai at this time.

The other person is Xiao Yu's good brother Xu Zhan.

Xu Zhan crossed the street and was heading towards the six doors of the Zongpu Hutong. He clutched something tightly in his hand, his expression was solemn to the point of being slightly funny, and his long legs were gurgling.

The brothers in the six doors saw that it was Xu Commander and hurriedly welcomed him in. Xu Zhan grinned awkwardly, but only asked Xiao Tang.

The brothers shook their heads: "It's really a coincidence that Lord Xu, you are here, our Xiao Tang was invited by Princess Xinning to investigate the case, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back in three or five days." ”

Xu Zhan's face turned faintly blue, and he withdrew from the six doors with a clatter.

After Xu Zhan left, the brothers of the six doors began to talk to each other again.

"Hey, what did you say that Lord Xu came to find Xiao Tang for?"

"Lord Xu is walking beside His Majesty, Xiao Tang has solved so many cases, he must have received His Majesty's attention, Lord Xu is probably here for business."

"I don't think so, you probably didn't look at it just now, Lord Xu is holding two tickets for Xiao/Xiangguan, and I guess I want to find Xiao Tang to listen to the play!"

This benevolent brother really didn't look away, what Xu Zhan was holding tightly in his hand were two theater tickets. He clenched too hard, and coupled with the constant sweat in his palms, the two tickets were already crumpled and unable to read.

After coming out of the six doors, he looked down at the two pieces of rotten paper, and silently threw them behind him.

It's a pity that Xu Zhan didn't know that not long after he left, Yan Diejin's head poked out from the corner of the street. He picked up the two pieces of paper that Xu Zhan had dropped, carefully flattened them, and put them in his arms with great care.

Besides, in the palace, after Xinning returned to Zuiyunxuan, Concubine Qian also returned to the main hall of Yufu Palace, and the mother and daughter closed the door and no one was allowed to enter. The little eunuchs who were urinating and urinating finally took a breath, looked at each other's injuries, and didn't dare to cry out loud when they cried their fathers and mothers.

The little mouse couldn't walk quickly, and was helped back to the ear room by Tang Ai, and when he took the medicine, he howled worse than killing a pig.

Although the other little eunuchs were also pinched by Xin Ning and twisted their thighs, none of the little rats were seriously injured. Tang Ai pondered for a while, and always felt that Xin Ning deliberately sprinkled all her anger on the little mouse.

To say that the little mouse is different from other little eunuchs, that is, he did not serve Princess Xinning at the beginning, but Liu Zhaoyi.

Concubine Qian and Liu Zhaoyi are both the emperor's women, and the concubines in the palace are jealous in order to get the favor of the saint, and make some small tricks, Tang Ai can also think of it. But the position of concubine and concubine, Liu Zhaoyi's position is not high, and the two live in the same palace, it seems that it is not easy for Liu Zhaoyi to fight with concubine.

"Little mouse, when Liu Zhaoyi was still alive, did she offend Concubine Qianniang?" Tang Ai asked tentatively.

The little mouse shook his shoulders, looked around with frightened eyes, and begged in a low voice: "Little man, I beg you, don't mention those words again." If you mention it again, my life will be over sooner or later! ”

He didn't need Tang Ai to help with the medicine anymore, climbed into the shop, covered his face with the quilt, and ignored what was going on outside the window.

The little mouse was injured like this, and he would definitely not be able to serve his master for a while, and his usual work was all on Tang Ai.

Xin Ning lost her temper and made the Yufu Palace full of messes, and someone had to clean it up. Tang Ai had the pure heart of arresting the murderer with six doors, but he did the drudgery of the little minions doing miscellaneous and boiling water, and he was really aggrieved and had no place to reason.

She gritted her teeth, and the dirty work was done, and while she was working, she was still thinking about where Xiao Yu's guy would go.

It happened that there was a shortage of manpower in the palace of Concubine Qian, so Tang Ai and a few little eunuchs went to help again.

Concubine Qian couldn't tell if she was still angry now, and the little eunuchs saw her sitting quietly in front of the dresser, with a graceful back, but they couldn't see her face. On the one hand, she asked the little eunuchs to clean the inside and outside of the Yufu Palace, and on the other hand, she asked the little palace maids to give her a careful makeup, and when she spoke, she kept speaking softly.

The little palace maids changed her hair bun, but she was not satisfied with the mirror, and asked the palace maids to comb it again. The palace maids combed it again, but she was still dissatisfied, so the palace maids combed it a third time.

Tang Ai and the little eunuchs were busy with a lot of work, but the little palace maids were still dressing up Concubine Qian. Tang Ai was very puzzled, so he asked the little eunuch beside him.

This little eunuch is not familiar with Tang Ai, and he is not as talkative as the little mouse, but he just explained in a whisper that every time Concubine Qian went to see the emperor, she had to dress up so carefully.

Sure enough, Concubine Qian dressed up properly and took the two palace maids out of the palace, while the little eunuchs continued to clean up the mess left by Xinning outside the palace.

At this time, it was getting late, Tang Ai cleaned all the way with his head bored, and unconsciously arrived at the vestibule of Zuiyunxuan.

Xin Ning has not come out again since she beat back to Zuiyunxuan, and the little palace maids were also bombarded away by her, at this time there was no one in front of the hall, and it was very peaceful.

Tang Ai didn't know why Xinning was angry until now, she was still thinking about the case Xinning confessed, so she wanted to take advantage of no one to come and see Xinning.

Zui Yunxuan's doors and windows were closed tightly, Tang Ai's ears were good, and when he walked to the door, he could hear someone whispering in the room. She is a little strange, Xinning locks herself in the house, can she still talk to herself?

Tang Ai stood still, and when he listened carefully, he found that something was wrong-Xin Ning was definitely not alone, there must be someone else in the room!

Xinning was not talking to herself, but to another person. But who this person is, and why he can also be summoned by Xin Ning alone, Tang Ai is unknown.

Because Xinning's voice was too small, it was difficult for Tang Ai to tell what he said. She only heard Xinning say a few sporadic words such as "like", "don't leave", "don't marry", and the other voice was even more inaudible.

From the words Tang Aishan heard, he couldn't think of the conversation between Xin Ning and another person at all. Of course, she didn't dare to knock on Xinning's door rashly.

At this time, Xin Ning's voice suddenly became clear, and Tang Ai heard Xin Ning's question to the other party.

Xinning asked, "Are you going to like me all the time?" Like me for the rest of my life? ”

This question was asked so explicitly, it really surprised Tang Ai. She instinctively reacted that Xinning's question was for someone she liked. In other words, there is a man in Xinning's room now!

After that, another voice sounded in the room, clear and clear, and it was very pleasant.

The voice replied affirmatively, "Of course I will always like you, and the day I live, I will like you for a day." ”
