Chapter 196: Harmony

King Zhong, the only younger brother who grew up with the emperor, is a brother with him, and at the same time he is a close friend, but also a monarch and a minister.

Back then, he assisted him to ascend to the throne, and at this time he protected the country.

However, the whereabouts of such a younger brother are unknown at this time.

The emperor's heart was filled with grief and indignation at this time, and it could almost be said that his liver and intestines were broken.

However, political affairs still have to be dealt with, and Da Song still has to count on him to maintain stability.

The Liao army was defeated, and this is a good time to negotiate peace with his relatives, if he misses this opportunity, I am afraid that next time no one will be able to defeat the Liao army in one fell swoop like King Zhong.

Therefore, after thinking about it, the emperor still summoned Princess Baoshou to come and mention peace with her.

Princess Baoshou came quickly, and at this time she had arrived at the door of the Chaoyang Palace.

You'an had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw Princess Baoshou coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Princess, the emperor has been waiting for the princess for a long time, so the princess should go in quickly." ”

With that, Youan personally opened the door for the princess.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Princess Baoshou smiled slightly, thanked You'an, and walked in.

Youan closed the door again.

Hearing the sound of "bang" when the door behind her was closed, Princess Baoshou's heart suddenly rose to her throat.

Raising his eyes slightly, the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair in the main hall at this time, bowing his head and thinking about things, as if he was unaware of the arrival of Princess Baoshou.

"Attend the Emperor." Princess Baoshou stepped forward and bowed.

Interrupted by his train of thought, the emperor came back to his senses and saw that Princess Baoshou had arrived in front of him. He slowly raised his hand and said, "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty." Princess Baoshou stood up as she said.

Stand with your head down, your eyebrows lowered. Princess Baoshou wanted to speak up several times and asked the emperor why he came to her, but she didn't have the courage to open up several times.

She was afraid that the answer would be the worst she had ever imagined.

After being entangled for a long time, the emperor's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"I, you...... Well, go back to the palace for the time being. After a while, the emperor spit out such a sentence.

Princess Baoshou was a little dazed at the moment. I don't understand what the emperor meant.

But it is obvious that the emperor's words carry a lot of loneliness and sadness.

Princess Baoshou didn't dare to speculate too much anymore, and saw that the emperor ordered her to return to the palace. He hurriedly replied, "Yes." After that, he quietly withdrew.

In the end, there are still some words that cannot be spoken.

The emperor sat down on the dragon chair gloomily, his face pale.

Suddenly, there was no news or trace of King Chung. The emperor suddenly attached great importance to family affection. Now that he is going to send his sister to Liao with his own hands, the emperor is suddenly full of sorrow.

These words were suddenly unspeakable.

It is better to send an envoy to Liao to discuss the matter of peace first, and when the dust settles on the matter of peace, it is not too late to issue an order.

Relieved, the emperor let go of the fist that had been clenched tightly, but when he thought of the king, there was no news yet. Suddenly there was another wave of irritability.

"Someone!" The emperor called loudly.

"Your Majesty." You'an pushed the door in and walked straight in front of the emperor.

"Spread the decree down......" the emperor thought for a moment. Said slowly: "Summoning Prime Minister Wang, General Jiang, Situ Jinyu, Li Shaobai and others into the palace to discuss state affairs." ”

"Yes." You'an took the order and turned around and went.

The emperor hung his head indifferently and combined the two battle reports.

Qi'er, no matter what, I will find you!

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes and stared straight at him.

The state affairs were discussed very quickly, and the opinions were almost unanimous, and they all believed that it was the most appropriate time to negotiate peace with the Liao State at this time.

So the emperor immediately decided to send Situ Jinyu and Li Shaobai to Liao as ministers of peace to discuss peace and harmony.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed, and the weather in June can be said to be hot.

On this day, Ru Xuan was instructed by Mama Yan, saying that she was going to send a scroll of scriptures to Princess Baoshou's Water Moon Pavilion, saying that Princess Baoshou asked for it a few days ago, and indicated that she wanted Ru Xuan to send it.

Let yourself send it, is there something to explain?

Ru Xuan thought so on the road, and quickened her steps.

When I arrived at Shuiyue Pavilion, Princess Baoshou was in the courtyard, taking a scroll and reading, but the whole person was absent-minded, and her eyes had already fallen on the yellow bird in the cage under the corridor.

The oriole bird is very beautiful, with bright feathers, jumping around in the cage, chirping a few times from time to time, and combing its feathers from time to time.

I'm about to become such a bird.

Princess Baoshou thought so, and her eyes were a little moist.

"Princess." Far away, Ru Xuan whispered, walked in front of Princess Baoshou in a few steps, and said with a smile: "Slave, I've seen the princess." ”

Princess Baoshou quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, come and sit and talk to me." ”

Ru Xuan walked over as she said, sat next to the princess, handed over the newly copied scriptures, and said, "Princess, this is the Buddhist scripture you want, the slave maid has been arranged according to the number of pages, you can just read it." ”

"Well, I'm sorry for you." Princess Baoshou took the scriptures, but she didn't look at them, and put them aside.

It seems that this scripture delivery is indeed a disguise, and it is true to come to her to talk.

Ru Xuan smiled and said, "The princess specially called the slave maid to come today, not to let the slave and maid send Buddhist scriptures." ”

"I can't hide anything from you!" Princess Baoshou saw that Ru Xuan's eyes lit up, covered her mouth and smiled bitterly, and said, "I do have something to ask you today, because I am afraid that if you don't ask, you will have no chance." ”

No chance?

Ru Xuan chuckled in her heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good.

Could it be ......

Princess Baoshou looked stunned, and said faintly: "The emperor has made an order a few days ago, saying that he is friendly with Liao, and the object of peace is Yelu Junhao, the third prince of Liao, and I will leave for Liao on the twenty-sixth of next month." ”

Sure enough, I want to marry Liao Guo and my relatives far away!

Ru Xuan pinched her fingers tightly, and at the same time comforted Princess Baoshou and said: "The princess doesn't have to be sad, you are also the princess when you arrive in the Liao Kingdom, and the slave maid heard that the third prince is the most likely to inherit the throne, and at that time, the princess will be the queen." ”

Yes, the queen, one person is above ten thousand people, high and powerful, and enjoys all the glory and wealth.

However, Princess Baoshou was reluctant.

Life in the palace is just like that yellow bird, raised by others, without freedom, and when you go to Liao, it will only get worse.

Princess Baoshou smiled bitterly and said, "What about the queen, do you see that the imperial sister-in-law is cold and indifferent from the royal brother?" ”

Princess Baoshou's words are good, if you don't have a good relationship, how can you be happy?

Besides, that Yelu Junhao doesn't seem to be a gentle gentleman, he looks unbearable, and he doesn't look like a qualified husband. (To be continued......)
