Xia Qingyun looked at Tuoya's confident appearance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, you really want to play one out and one play!

"Lord Toya, have you ever thought about what to do if my brother-in-law says he doesn't like you?"

"How could it be! Don't you Qi have a saying that makes heroes sad to pass the beauty pass! Toya stroked the long black hair on her shoulders and smiled charmingly, "Am I not beautiful?" Why didn't he like it? ”

Your princess's illness is really not light, Xia Qingyun got up and said, "Okay, since you insist on going, come with me." ”

Led Toya through the verandah, and before he walked out of the main courtyard, Toya suddenly stopped, "Forget it, I'm still not going." ”

She lowered her head and said a little cowardly: "In case your brother-in-law rejects me, wouldn't it be too shameless." Or let my father Khan go and tell the emperor tomorrow, let the emperor make an order, he must always listen to the emperor's words, right? ”

Xia Qingyun didn't say a word, and Tuoya looked up and smiled: "I'll go back to find Father Khan." Lord Taiping, thank you for your milk tea! ”

Sending Toya away, Xia Qingyun saw Chunxiu standing at the door of the main room and beckoned to her. "Sent away? The lord and the lady are still waiting for the young lady. ”

Xia Qingyun told Tuoya's intention, and Mrs. Zhenguo laughed and said, "The girl on the grassland is really spicy. I have to go and tell Bowen, the provincial Ming she really asked Suhelek to propose marriage to the emperor, so that Bowen could prepare first. ”

Si Hongrui said: "I'll go." The emperor is just getting married, and he has to talk to us in advance, and he won't agree rashly. ”

Xia Qingyun didn't take Toya's matter to heart. She also likes Toya's personality, although she is a little coquettish and reckless. But compared to those big ladies in the capital, it is much more comfortable.

The next day, Si Hongrui and his son went to the morning court as usual. Xia Qingyun accompanied Mrs. Zhenguo and her father and mother to have breakfast, and sent Heixing to find the warehouse. He took Xue'er and Qingmei to sort out the tea leaves to be shipped in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion.

In the morning, Huangfu came to the south again, yesterday he went to the government to handle the transfer procedures of the merchant ship, and this morning he went to get the deed and sent it directly to Xia Qingyun.

Before lunch, Blackstar rushed back and said that the warehouse had been found, not far from the gate of the South City. Xia Qingyun took Xue'er and the others to the warehouse. Move the contents of the treasure cabinet to the warehouse. Let Blackstar inform the car dealer and come here early tomorrow morning to load the car.

At lunch, they found a small restaurant in Nancheng and ordered a few dishes casually. While eating, I heard others talking about the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

"Have you heard? The emperor's newly crowned Taiping county lord is a fairy. Dare to stick your head into the tiger's mouth! ”

"No wonder someone can be the lord of the county. It's spread all over the capital! The emperor's title is up well. Taiping is peaceful, with the immortal county lord, our Great Qi Kingdom can be peaceful! ”

Cher covered her mouth and sneered. Qingmei whispered: "The news spreads so fast, now Sister Qingyun is famous." ”

Xia Qingyun shook his head and said, "I don't want to be in the limelight." People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, but it is not necessarily a good thing. ”

As soon as she returned to the palace, Chunxiu came over to spread the word, saying that the master asked her to go to the study. Xia Qingyun's heart sank, could it be that the emperor agreed to Toya's proposal?

In the study, Zhen Guogong and his wife had solemn faces, and when they saw Xia Qingyun coming in, the two exchanged a look.

Mrs. Zhenguo said: "Qingyun, your father has something to tell you, don't worry about it." ”

Xia Qingyun looked at Si Hongrui suspiciously, "Is Su Heleke really proposing?" ”

Si Hongrui clenched his fist and put it to his mouth and coughed lightly, "Mention it." He glanced at Xia Qingyun, and then said, "However, it's not for the county lord of Toya. ”

Xia Qingyun instantly remembered that Toya had said that she also had a younger sister Una, but Toya also said that Una was still young, and Suhelek would never marry the younger daughter first without marrying the eldest daughter.

She looked at Si Hongrui in confusion, waiting for the following.

"Suhelek proposed to the emperor and wanted you to marry Batu."

"What?" Xia Qingyun was incredulous, "The emperor agreed?" ”

Si Hongrui shook his head lightly, "The emperor didn't agree immediately, but he didn't refuse either. After the next dynasty, the emperor summoned me alone and asked me if I would like to let you marry and marry. ”

"What did Daddy say?" Xia Qingyun settled down, since he didn't agree, there was still room for maneuver.

"I replied to the emperor and said that you and Bowen are about to get engaged, and the emperor has a lot of complaints after hearing it, blaming me for not thinking it through."

Mrs. Zhenguo interjected: "The emperor means that you are our righteous daughter after all, and although you are not related to Bowen, you are still brother and sister in name. Brother and sister blind dates are not allowed in Qi country. ”

Xia Qingyun's heart was half cold, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Doesn't the emperor know Bowen's life experience, doesn't he want his son to marry someone he likes?" ”

Si Hongrui said worriedly: "Maybe it's because the emperor knows that he doesn't want you to get married." After the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the name of the lord of Taiping County spread all over the capital at once. Although Bowen is his own flesh and blood, he is now raised in our family after all. Once you get married, the prestige of the Sihong family will be too great."

Xia Qingyun understood. The emperor is worried that Si Hong Bowen will rely on the power of the Si Hong family and give birth to a transgression heart in the future, even if the Si Hong family is born and dies for the Qi country, the first consideration of being a king is whether his imperial power will be threatened.

Si Hongrui said again: "The emperor advised me to focus on the overall situation. Suhelek promised that if you could make peace with Batu, the steppe tribe and the Qi country would become an inseparable family. Give me three days and let me convince you and Si Hong. ”

Xia Qingyun frowned, "What about Bowen, what does he think?" ”

"Bowen also wanted to plead to the emperor, but I stopped him. He is young and vigorous, and if he annoys the emperor, he may be married in a fit of anger. I asked him to go to the military department to discuss the matter of leaving the fortress, and come back first to discuss with your mother, how to convince the emperor. ”

Xia Qingyun lowered his head gloomily, secretly regretting it in his heart. Si Hongrui told her many times that she should be cautious in her words and deeds, if she didn't come out that day, she wouldn't provoke Batu to notice her.

She remembered the words of the eldest princess again, the princesses and county lords of Qi are just tools used by the royal family to balance rights and interests, and the emperor will not take into account the feelings between the children, he only thinks about how to align the country, which is in the best interest of his imperial power.

The eldest princess also wanted her to protect the county lord of Anping from this misfortune when she grew up, but she didn't expect things to fall on her head first.

It is absolutely impossible for her to marry Batu. Even if he doesn't marry Si Hong Bowen, he won't marry a man who has only met once.

But if he doesn't marry, the emperor will inevitably be angry with the Si Hong family, and Si Hong Bowen will bear the brunt. If Bowen does something too much in a fit of anger, I'm afraid that what awaits him is not just the punishment of dismissal. (To be continued......)
