Chapter 154: Beat Me Down
Sure enough, the matchmaker shook her head, "This is the same thing, but because of the changeable fate, I missed many opportunities for integration." It is not good, it is not good, it is not perishable, but there is no cause and effect. ”
Ma Jingshan was completely depressed, drooping her head and looking sluggish.
The thirteenth princess patted her on the shoulder, and she cried again.
In this way, it was inconvenient for the princess's family to stay longer, and she said goodbye to Guan Qianyi and left the regent palace.
Li Wei's eyebrows jumped, and she almost cheered. When everyone was gone, he followed Guan Qianyi behind him, stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Lord Wang's trick is really good." She whispered her praise.
He turned around and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, his dark eyes tinged with a little sparkle, "You can use it later." ”
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a laugh, "The prince actually wants to recruit a rival for me, right?" ”
He nodded her nose and rested his forehead on hers.
The two of them were tired for a moment, and Cui Yue had already returned to the mansion with the news.
After listening to his report, Li Wei's brows furrowed for a moment.
"King Zongcheng only said that there are many envoys and skilled people, and he didn't mention anything in the end?"
Cui Yue said, "There are four or five good riders, as well as three people with intelligent ears and bright eyes, and he said that he didn't know what projects these people were involved in, so he couldn't know." ”
Li Wei nodded, "According to past experience, the competition is probably just a few items of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and archery, but now it seems that it is not." What weird things would they come up with? ”
Then the palace reported urgently, Li Wei and Guan Qianyi immediately returned to the palace, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites received the news that the envoy from Yinghu Country had also arrived in Beichen in the near future, and the letter said that there was something to ask for.
Li Wei suddenly sat restless, Yinghu Country is a fierce country that is more terrifying than Xiyu Country.
Guan Qianyi said, "Don't panic, it's not a big deal." ”
"Isn't that a big deal? Guan Qianyi, did you read what the letter said? 'Asking for something' must be a pretense. I don't know what the hell I was thinking about when I came to Beichen. It, a country that has never bowed its head, actually said that it had something to ask for? When my father beat them out of the border of the eighteen cities in Northern Xinjiang, they washed a border with the blood of our Beichen boys, saying that he would fight again one day! This group of vicious turtle Sun Tuzi, we can't let them enter Beichen! ”
Li Wei was indignant at the moment. I tore the fold with both hands.
He also understood her anger, and even felt relieved, because it showed that she was really thinking about Beichenguo.
"Lord Wang, I need Cui Yue and Cui Cheng to do something."
"That's what you command."
Li Wei gave him a look of great grace, "The prince is really strong to defend me now." ”
"Cui Yue. You come in for a moment. ”
Cui Yue stepped through the door and lowered his head to listen to her instructions.
"You find a few more people, go out of the palace, and recruit the following talents as a technical class. First, those who have intelligent ears and eyes can distinguish sounds from a mile away; second, those who have sharp eyes and can distinguish various shades; Third, he has a good memory and never forgets the ten elements at a glance; The test method is up to you, and you can find the best person for my ears, eyes, and memory. Like what. For example, the ear test can test his ability to listen to the sound of falling objects falling to the ground, so that he can judge how high it is; Chromaticity identification, look at the color of the fabric in the dyeing workshop; You'll be able to test your memory in multiple ways......"
Li Wei Balabala said a lot, and Cui Yue's head was a lot bigger when he heard it.
"Your Majesty, what is your intention?" These methods she said are really a little strange, how did you come up with these strange methods in your head?
"Find someone first, and I'll test the one you choose."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cui Yue took the order and left. Thinking that the prince is also here, the prince should agree to the approach.
Guan Qianyi asked after Cui Yue left, "Are you looking for someone to deal with the envoys of the Xiyu Kingdom?" ”
"yes, get ready. If they don't agree with their projects, let the talents of our country give them a disadvantage. ”
Guan Qianyi thought that she was angry about the affairs of Yinghu Kingdom, but the next moment she was arranging to deal with the envoys of Xiyu Kingdom, I really don't know whether to say that she can use two things or be orderly.
Li Wei clapped her hands, "Next, let's go pick a sweat-sweated BMW, right?" Where is the best horse in Beichen? Keeping horses in our palace, right? ”
Guan Qianyi's side face. gave her a noncommittal smile.
The next moment, the two came to the barracks of the 35th Army on the outskirts of Beijing, looked at the neat and black heads of people on the large field in front of them, sighed in their hearts, and then turned around and looked at the regent in military uniform, squinting at the man who was still handsome and dazzling in the sun:
"Lord Wang, I suddenly feel a little proud."
Guan Qianyi glanced at her and glanced at her dress, "You are an attendant now, where do you come from with all your pride?" With that, he walked forward, leaving Li Wei with a dark sigh: Why did I pick such a low-level dress? If you pick a piece of general's armor, how spirited is it now?
Li Wei, who was secretly annoyed, trotted up in a few steps, and saw that all the soldiers and generals he met greeted Guan Qianyi respectfully, and the pride in his heart rose into the air again.
Our prince is so handsome, this military uniform is dressed in spirit and straight, she wants to reach out and touch it several times.
The horse farm in the barracks is not finely done, but it is solid.
Li Wei really wanted to get close to the horses, but unfortunately the smell still made her a little discouraged.
But fortunately, the sweat BMW is not in the nest, it is all free-range.
Li Wei walked around, looked at the three tall and sturdy war horses with different coat colors, and turned to ask the people around her, "Lord Wang, what is the chance of our war horses being compared to the war horses of the Xiyi Kingdom?" ”
He shook his head, "There's no chance of winning. ”
She turned her head with a bitter expression, "Isn't it at all?" Look at the BMW in front of you, this is a peerless good horse! And they have been fighting with the soldiers for a long time, what difficulties can stump them? ”
"The chances of winning in the West are two, one is that the war horse is the most fierce breed in northern Xinjiang, and they are good at raising and taming horses and are good at keeping domestication information secret; Second, the Xiyi Mission came with a challenge, and how the competition system and rules were conducted were formulated by them, and we at Beichen lost the opportunity at this point. ”
Li Wei nodded, "Then what are they good at in the riding and archery event?" What are we good at? ”
"They're good at hurdle archery and like to change the format halfway through."
Li Wei held her forehead, "They are too shameless." It's not reasonable to modify the competition system or anything, we have a reason to refuse, right? ”
Guan Qianyi coughed, "The emperor was conceited and said that he would meet their challenge. The format is up to them. ”
Li Wei shook her whip, "Then what are our chances of winning?" Isn't this washing the neck and putting it on someone's blade? Even if the emperor is conceited, he can't sell his country's face and dignity like this? ”
"Therefore, this matter needs to be corrected."
"What?" Li Wei was stunned, "Need me to correct it?" She hadn't heard him call her His Majesty for a long time. At first glance, she realized it. I was given a heavy responsibility again.
She scratched her head, "I can't do this, the emperor decided, it has been done according to the rules for so many years, how can I correct it?" ”
He stroked her head, "Don't say no, we still have time to prepare." You can talk to Beichen about this, you have so many troubles, how can he not help share some of the burdens? ”
She took his big hand down. Holding, looking at his sleeve-length fingers, he nodded slightly.
So, in the next time, Li Wei was mostly harassing Beichenluo.
"Imperial brother, there are more than those big families who want to calculate me in this palace, not to mention those who want to kill me openly and secretly, the last palace banquet broke into a foreign man is too unguardable, if I leave the imperial brother, my heart will be empty and uncomfortable."
Beichen Luo knew that the imperial sister was trying her best to keep him. Let him sympathize, let him be reluctant, maybe he still has room to turn around, "Sister Huang." You still have the Lord Regent by your side to help you, and the courtiers are just adding to the chaos. ”
"How can it be the same?" Li Wei squatted in front of him in a few steps, holding his sitting hands, "You are my imperial brother, the two of us are relatives who are related by blood and blood, no matter how powerful Lord Regent is." No matter how close we are with me, we can't replace the blood relationship between our royal brothers and sisters. ”
"That's it," Beichen Luo felt the strength of the imperial sister's hands, and his heart was a little sour, "That's it, imperial sister, can you," he hesitated word by word, and finally choked up and didn't continue.
"What can you do? Say. ”
"Imperial sister, can you not include Lord Regent in the harem?"
When this sentence was asked, the two of them became nervous at the same time.
Li Wei opened her mouth, "Ah, this, I haven't thought about this question yet." ”
Include Guan Qianyi in the harem? No, she always thought that the two of them were married, and there was no such thing as 'inclusion in the harem'. But through Beichen Lu, she seems to realize her identity as the king of a country, and if she wants to get married, she must go through strict court procedures, and she can't go wrong in the slightest.
And in this matter, what are the chances of changing the rules of the ancestral dynasty?
"Doesn't the royal sister like the regent? How could it not have been considered? ”
Li Wei felt bitter in her heart: she wanted to accept it, but Guan Qianyi didn't necessarily agree. Although the prince of her family looked usually cold and silent, but in this matter, she felt that he would not agree.
She originally thought that after cultivating Beichen Luo in the past few years, she would leave the Zen position and go back to Guan Qianyi in a chic manner, but now that the court is very eventful, she can't leave for a day and a half.
The little ancestor in front of her was making a fuss about studying abroad, which completely disrupted her life happiness plan.
Li Wei was silent, stood up and paced back and forth, this upset appearance made Beichen Luo a little ashamed.
"Imperial sister, the courtier doesn't want to stop you from being with the regent, it's just... The younger brother believes that the imperial sister should also know more or less about his life experience. His identity is too special, and his younger brother doesn't want the imperial sister to take this risk. ”
Li Wei turned a few steps, her head suddenly flashed, and her eyes turned back to shine again:
"I promised you that you wouldn't include the regent in the harem. In this way, you don't have to think about going on a study tour or something. And if you stay in the palace, you have to follow the arrangement of the imperial sister as soon as you teach and learn, how about it? ”
For her such a reversed promise, Beichen Lu subconsciously felt cheating, but what the imperial sister said was right. His original intention was to prevent the imperial sister from falling deeper and deeper into Guan Qianyi's feelings, and now that he has received the imperial sister's promise, he naturally has to promise the imperial sister to stay in the palace.
"The younger brother is at the mercy of the imperial sister's arrangement." Staying in the palace, he can also monitor the regent's actions at all times. If he dared to get too close to the imperial sister, he would not let him go.
However, the next day, when Li Wei called him up from the bed, and went to Chongming Hall after washing up, he was a little confused.
"Sister Huang, what are you bringing your courtiers here for?"
"Go up to the court and review the content of the excerpt."
Beichen Luo was immediately shocked, "Emperor, imperial sister, courtier brother can't go to court with you." ”
Li Wei reached out and touched his head, "I didn't say that you should go to the court together, just to see the twists and turns." ”
Despite this, Beichen was still in a state of flux all morning.
Lu Xiao entered the palace half an hour earlier than the rest of the ministers to sort out the affairs of the previous dynasty for His Majesty.
When he saw that Beichen Luo was also among them, his eyes flashed, he didn't say anything, he quietly greeted him, and then prepared candles, rice paper and red pens for His Majesty in front of the desk, and calmly put the folded folds arranged by His Majesty on the tray, and listened to what the two sisters and brothers were talking about, mentioned a few words of family life, and mentioned the big and small matters in the court.
"Sister Huang, the barbarians of the Xiyu Kingdom, the younger brother doesn't want to see them."
"Then I don't want to see it, what do you say?"
"Then it's gone?" The tone was full of doubts and inquiries, but the next moment he said, "Eh", "Sister Huang, why are you beating me?" ”
"If you don't see it, you can't see it, are you the second son of Mrs. Wei's family or the stupid son of the old farmer? You are the seventeenth prince of Beichen Kingdom, everyone respectfully calls you Your Highness, this title is not for you to play around, nor is it for you to play prestige, you are enjoying the identity of Your Highness to bring you brocade clothes and jade food at the same time, but also to support the responsibility of defending the reputation of this Your Highness, you know? You usually have so many ideas, just put half of your mind on dealing with them. ”
"Sister Huang, are you sure, half of your mind?" Beichen Luo thinks that the imperial sister's confidence in him is too high?
"Yes. You can think about what we're good at first, and then find an opportunity to bring it up and fight with them. ”
"But aren't all the rules set by them?"
"Hmph, the competition system or something, I'll leave it to your imperial sister."
"How can the barbarians of Yinghu Country be received?"
"You can receive you as much as you want, and you have the imperial sister to support you."
Beichen Luo glanced at her suspiciously, today he always felt that the imperial sister's thinking was too simple?
"Sister Huang, my brother thinks it's better for us to gather the ministers of the court and the central government to discuss together, including Lord Regent."
Li Wei's eyes lit up: "The emperor's brother knows how to work together, not bad!" (To be continued.) )
