The envoys of Zhao came this time to make peace with relatives, and married in order to seek peace between the two countries and no more war, Liqing is not a warlike person, since Zhao sincerely seeks peace, how can he refuse to war, that is, he received the letter of state handed by the envoys of Zhao, and then ordered him to enter the palace to meet him.

Although it is an envoy sent by a defeated country, it is still a proper courtesy, and Liqing has given enough face to meet the envoy, but the matter of peace that the envoy talks about is not a thing. They were originally a defeated country, what qualifications do they have to preach benevolence, righteousness and etiquette in front of Jiang Guosheng, that is, except for the matter of harmony, the rest will be returned to the occupied city, and Liqing should not be.

It was the first difficulty of Zhao State, and he joined forces with the court officials to trap Jiang Guo's city, and Liqing only took his debts that had been paid off for many years in a few cities, and did not let King Chong directly attack the capital of Zhao State, which can be regarded as giving Zhao State enough face. The envoys of Zhao State have a three-inch tongue, but it is a pity that it is really difficult to fight the important ministers of Jiang State with his own strength, that is, Liqing's previous lack of meeting for more than half a month has made him restless and restless, and now he is besieged by the ministers under the clever tongue. The envoys of Zhao State were finally defeated by the ministers, and except for the matter of harmony, they never talked about anything else.

Now that the matter of reconciliation has been approved, a marriageable woman must be selected from among the royal family to be worthy of the reconciliation of Zhao State. The matter of Zhao Guo has been settled, but it is really difficult to choose this person who is close to him. Liqing also made a mistake for this, after all, there are too few marriageable women in the palace, and if you choose a palace maid at random, you are afraid that Zhao Guojun will feel that they are intentionally insulting. Because of this incident, Liqing was also upset.

Today, Yanying Hall was waiting, and Qin Shujiu saw Liqing frowning many times, and asked out loud because he was worried: "Your Majesty, but you are upset because of the marriage?" After the inquiry, Liqing raised his head, met Qin Shujiu's inquiring eyes, and Liqing said: "Nothing is more difficult than Shu'er's eyes, I have been really upset about this matter recently, there are too few school-age women in the palace, and I really don't know who to send." ”

The only women of the right age and marryable in this palace are the eldest princess of Tongyang and the princess of Anping, but it is difficult to give up among the two, and it is also to see what Liqing thinks in his heart, Qin Shujiu said: "This matter is indeed difficult to do, if it is destined to Princess Anping and relatives, the princess is the body of a daughter, how can she bear this grievance, even the princess of Zhao Kingdom who can't stand up to His Majesty." There is only this princess left in the palace, and even if Her Majesty is willing to do it, I am afraid that the queen will not be willing to give up. As for the eldest princess of Tongyang......"

After a pause, Qin Shujiu continued: "As for the eldest princess, King Chong is the most distressed sister of this sister, that is, King Chong's expedition, but it can be seen that his sister is still in Kyoto and can return to Beijing at any time, and his heart will be at peace." If the eldest princess gets married, I am afraid that it will be rare to see her again in this life, and I am very anxious to come to Chongwang. ”

The two school-age women in the palace, Qin Shujiu felt that it was incomprehensible, and Liqing naturally thought the same way. However, because of Qin Shujiu's words, Liqing said: "I also mean this, but I have already agreed to Zhao Guohe, and I will finally be elected as a person." ”

"Of course this person should be chosen, but His Majesty doesn't necessarily have to be the eldest princess and princess." After saying this, he saw Liqing's eyes flickering, and then said: "Shu'er said this, but ......" After laughing, he saw Qin Shujiu and smiled faintly, and then said: "Zhao Guo is asking for harmony, and His Majesty is marrying the peace of the two countries, since what Zhao Guo is asking for is a relative of the emperor, Majesty Xià will give him a relative of the emperor." ”

After saying this, he was humble and smiled, Qin Shujiu said this indifferently, but it made Liqing's eyes even heavier, and then said: "Give him a royal relative, who is Shu'er referring to?" Seeing Qin Shujiu, he raised his eyes to greet him, and then said: "The concubine is not clearly pointing at anyone, but she suddenly remembered that the daughter of the Southern King, Jingling County Lord, seems to have grown up, and now it is the twenty-eighth good year." King Nan suffered such a big grievance at the beginning, and now the princess is in charge of the palace alone, and the county lord has also reached marriageable age, and the concubines also remember it. ”

The words are also tactful, but how can Liqing not understand the meaning of Qin Shujiu, there is already a smile in his eyes at the moment, Liqing said with a smile: "Yes, because of the jealousy of the Hou family, he rebelled against his ministers and sought merit, but he wronged my sixth brother and made him end up unjustly." Now that a few years have passed, and the Jingling County Lord is also older, even at her age, I should also think about marriage for her. ”

Liqing was still worried about the lack of a suitable candidate just now, Qin Shujiu's memory of this time solved the current problem for Liqing, but he couldn't help laughing in his eyes, Liqing looked at Qin Shujiu and said: "Shu'er is worthy of my interpretation flower, she really understands my thoughts, but she ......"

After a while, Liqing took over and said: "It's just that Princess Nan is an orphan and widow, and now there are only two princes and county lords under my knees, if I marry the county lord of Jingling to Zhao State, I am afraid that because of the distance between the two countries, Princess Nan will be reluctant." ”

Even if the king of the south is really ambitious, he also has the intention of rebellion, but the rebellion is finally violent under the design of the auxiliary general, and now the auxiliary general has been defeated, and everything he has done is leaked, and the rebellion of the king of the south has to be wronged and redressed. It's not that Liqing is unaware of the ambition of King Nan in his heart, it's just that this holy monarch doesn't like to do things that are criticized, even if he approves of Qin Shujiu's method in his heart, but this is difficult to do, and he has to think about it.

This thing is really difficult to do, even if Liqing can make an order to obey Princess Nan as a king, but it is inevitable that he will not care about family affection, so that he can't be called a holy king.

Explain the things that your majesty can't understand, only then can you call your majesty's interpretation flower, Liqing's words are clearly said and Qin Shujiu can hear, that is, understand the meaning of Liqing, Qin Shujiu immediately retreated in front of the palace and then bowed and said: "The concubine has no virtue and no talent, but I also look forward to being able to solve the worries for His Majesty, if His Majesty can trust the concubine, the princess of the south can be said by the concubine?" ”

This Jingling County Lord's marriage, there should always be someone to be this lobbyist, Qin Shujiu is the most cunning and eloquent, and this method was mentioned by her in front of the saint, and she should be this lobbyist.

Best.

Since Qin Shujiu had already asked for the will, Liqing didn't say anything more, but just responded and said: "Since Shu'er is willing to share my worries, I will leave this matter to you, and I have to do it." ”

His Majesty's instructions, he should do it with his heart, and at that moment, Secretary Qin would respond: "The concubine should receive the order, but the concubine still wants to ask His Majesty for something, and I hope that His Majesty will be granted." Before the matter was done, there was a matter of grace, and Liqing immediately said: "Whatever is the matter, let me say it bluntly, why should you be so polite between you and me." But because of these words, Qin Shujiu smiled again, and then said.

"The concubine's will is also invited in advance for the county lord of Jingling, and I hope that His Majesty Xià will be gracious, if the county lord agrees to the kiss, you can stay in Kyoto for a few more days, and it is also a lot to accompany Princess Nan." Her thoughts are a little far-reaching, but such thoughts are also appropriate, that is, after hearing this, she nodded her head, and Liqing said: "Zhao Guo has a long way to go, and I am afraid that there is no possibility of seeing each other again this time. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine is here to thank Her Majesty for Princess Nan and the Lord of Jingling."

For the sake of the Jingling County Lord, it was not Qin Shujiu's original intention, all she asked for was that the Jingling County Lord stayed for half a moment, that is, the Jingling County Lord stayed, and the envoys of the Zhao State would have to wait for a long time, and then the good show would end completely.

Princess Nan was persuaded by Qin Shujiu, and it was for this reason that Liqing sent a decree to invite Princess Nan and the prince to enter the palace. Since the king of the south was unjustly killed, the princess of the south and the prince of the county have no longer entered the Taiming Palace, and today they are called to re-enter, although the will is just an ordinary family banquet, but the princess of the south is inevitably a little worried in her heart, but she is also reminded from time to time, afraid that the prince will do something disobedient.

Taiming Palace is not an ordinary person to compare, how can the temperament is still young is the skin is inferior, this is just said before entering the palace, as soon as I entered the palace to see all kinds of freshness, but they all left Princess Nan's advice behind, and also called Princess Nan a lot of helplessness.

but can only follow closely, lest one not do anything that does not collide with each other. The scenery in the Taiming Palace can be compared with the non-Nanwang Mansion, although the Nanwang Mansion that was seized after the South Wang's injustice is also returned to the South Princess, but the scenery in the palace and the palace are not the same.

The child is the most indefinite, once he starts playing, how can he stop with a few words of persuasion, and it is also the interest of the palace to play, that is, when the palace is running crazy, this one accidentally startled Qin Shujiu. Smelling that Princess Nan and the prince of the county had entered the palace, Qin Shujiu went to take a look, but who knew that this had just arrived here, but the naughty boy who rushed out suddenly was shocked. This sudden shock, if it weren't for Nanzhi guarding him, I am afraid that he would have been injured.

was shocked, and the prince was also frightened, that is, the princess of Nan, who followed later, saw that the prince had made such a big disaster, and her complexion changed suddenly, and she immediately ordered the prince to stop and then bow with the county lord to ask for sin. It is a big mistake to collide with the concubines, and it is also Qin Shujiu's temperament and smoothness, and he was not angry because of the stubbornness of the prince, so he smiled and invited them to get up and then looked at the prince, Qin Shujiu said.

"This blink of an eye, the kung fu world has grown so big, and the last time this palace saw it, it was only like that." Shocked by the child's soaring, Qin Shujiu couldn't help but sigh, that is, after sighing, he saw Princess Nan owing, and then looked at the prince and said: "The child is the lord who grows up when he sees the wind, and this glance is so big." After speaking, it was as if he remembered King Nan, and a few tears oozed from his eyes.

Now it's in the palace, not the South Palace, and these tears don't fall when they want to, but they lost their manners before the shocked concubine, and Princess Nan hurriedly wiped her tears and then bowed: "The concubine is out of shape, and I hope that the mother will forgive." Seeing that Princess Nan owed herself and asked for the guilt, Qin Shujiu hurriedly said: "It's all sisters, why should the princess be like this, hurry up and don't always practice these false courtesies." Besides, children are not sensible to be fun, if they have known knowledge since childhood, law-abiding and restrained, then they have developed a gentleman like the prince of the country, and they know it all day long, and they are very interesting. ”

The gentlemen of the country have always been good at learning the Tao and teaching etiquette, but now they have become annoying people when they come to Qin Shujiu, which also makes people feel that Qin Shujiu is a kind and casual master. Especially Xiao Shizi, Xu Shi recently asked Princess Nan to be sent to the Guozi Prison to study, and suffered a lot of hardships from the husband of the Guozi Prison.

"That's it, those gentlemen of the country are the most pedantic, and those who are all day long are boring, and it makes people annoyed to look at them." The words he said at a young age were like this, but he was a little like the temperament of King Nan. The child spoke by nature, but the adult had to pretend not to understand, the prince of the world could make Princess Nan frightened when she heard this, and she was busy pleading and saying.

"Mother, the child is not sensible, don't listen to his nonsense. He is lazy and playful, doesn't like to read, and always asks the husband of the country to scold, and he is really angry. "The words in front are not for Xiao Shizi, but there is a little blame in the back. But if you blame her, the son of the world is her blood after all, and she is responsible, and there is inevitably a little tenderness in her eyes, but she is reluctant to scold.

As a mother, Qin Shujiu is self-conscious, and he also smiled and said that it doesn't matter, but after a laugh and looking at the world, Qin Shujiu moved his eyes and then seemed to notice something. It was to take a careful look at Princess Nan, this careful look could make Princess Nan feel uneasy, and when she touched her face, Princess Nan asked softly.

"But what did the concubine have on her face?" After whispering inquiring, he saw Qin Shujiu and smiled.

"It's not that it's stained with anything, it's just that when I look at it this time, I feel shocked. The princess has not entered the palace for several years, and this age seems to be fixed on the princess's face, and she has not felt anything from a distance, but now she feels that it is no different from the palace when she first entered the palace. What kind of method did the princess use, but the more she looked at the palace, the more she was amazed, but she was willing to teach the palace. ”

In addition to her husband and her own children, the most important thing for a woman is that face, seeing that Qin Shujiu praised with envy, Princess Nan was also a little surprised here, and she was busy saluting at the moment, Princess Nan replied with a dry smile: "Niangniang's words are tormenting the concubines, how can the concubines have any secret recipes for rejuvenation, but they are just ordinary things." However, the mother is more and more delicate and moving, and the years are like a freeze frame in the mother, and half a point does not decrease. ”

Qin Shujiu is a saintly woman today, any ordinary woman, even the concubine of the prince's family, must not be more charming than her, this is a must in the palace.

Because only the things in the emperor's hands can be the best in the world, although Princess Nan is widowed, she is not one of those ignorant lords, at least she understands the rules of this palace very well. Seeing that Princess Nan was so cautious and cautious, Qin Shujiu also smiled loosely, and said: "If there is no good way to stay beautiful, I think it is the princess's natural beauty, and I am afraid that others will not be able to learn this natural beauty." The princess is like this, and so is the county lord Jingling, this palace has seen the current appearance of the county lord, and it should have inherited the princess's appearance. ”

When Dao said this, he couldn't help but look up and down at the Jingling County Lord, I have to say that compared to the newly grown Princess Anping, this Jingling County Lord has her own beauty, peaceful and elegant, completely different from her father. is such a peaceful and lovely beauty, it stands to reason that she should find a good family, but it is a pity that the lord of Jingling County has a thin life, and she met such a monarch and such a father in her life, and she is destined to have no choice in this life.

It was also because of seeing the Jingling County Lord that he remembered himself back then, and couldn't help but sigh a little bit of pity. Compassion was raised, but Qin Shujiu didn't have so much thought to pity a person who had nothing to do with him, even that kind of thought also rose for a moment, and then Qin Shujiu pressed down.

It was Guan Yan who smiled again, Qin Shujiu said with a smile: "It's also a long time since I saw the princess, today the princess is rarely summoned to the palace, if you don't think about sitting in the palace on the side, how about it?" It just so happens that this palace has recently received some rewards, all of which are new things, and I am happy to think of the next life. ”

As soon as he heard that there was that new thing, Xiao Shizi was interested, and he also asked Princess Nan to go with him. In this palace, Princess Tounan didn't want to add more side matter, but it was not easy for this concubine to ask her to refuse, and the prince didn't even look like a person with bad intentions when he asked Qin Shujiu, so he responded at the moment.
