"I know you're doing it for my sister's good." Ruri smiled, "But ......"

"Okay, okay, not next time." Xiao Man pouted and said.

Unexpectedly, Liuli glared at him and said, "I mean, you did a good job in this matter. However, next time, remember to discuss with my sister in advance, otherwise I won't be prepared, and it's really fake to pretend to be frightened just now. ”

When Xiao Man and Shaoguang heard this, they immediately burst out laughing.

When Liuli saw that Gou'er and Wen Er were not there, she asked them, "What about your two little tails?" ”

"I heard that the flowers and trees in the main courtyard have insect infestations, because it is inconvenient for outsiders to come in, and the maids and sisters are afraid, so we will help catch insects, and we can also feed the eaglet, but Xiaoxian refuses to eat." Shaoguang explained, "When we went out just now, the two of them were afraid that they were still working in the flowers and trees. ”

Liuli looked at a small leather bag hanging from Xiao Man's waist, and seemed to feel that something was squirming inside, and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Go quickly, stay away from me." ”

Xiao Man grabbed the leather bag and gestured to Liuli to scare her. After Liuli's face changed, he ran away with the shaking light.

The days passed like water, like the calm before the storm, with a strange sense of serenity. Then, one day in late autumn, Xiao Shiyi entered the door at noon.

The Ning'an Hou Mansion has been almost repaired, and it is expected to be able to move in before winter. But despite this, Xiao Shiyi still took advantage of this reason to go out early and return late, busy with the things he was secretly planning.

"Something's wrong?" Ruri asked, a little surprised.

"Shui Shi Qiao has a letter." Xiao Shiyi sat casually on the floor, leaned on the pillow, and drank the tea on the small table, and then took out the letter from his sleeve pocket.

Suddenly, Ruri had a strange feeling.

Recently, Xiao Shiyi has become more and more casual and natural in front of her. In fact, think about it, she is the same in front of him. Just like just now. She drank half of the tea, but he drank it as soon as he picked it up, not minding at all that it was the residual tea that the woman had drunk, and he didn't have the consciousness to change the tea. This seems to reflect an indescribable and unclear intimacy, it seems that in addition to the window paper between men and women, the heart-to-heart feeling between loving husband and wife naturally flows between the two.

In the past, Jiulang was natural in front of her, but she felt bored between old husbands and wives. Why did Xiao Shiyi do the same thing. Does it mean something different to her? Could it be that she really likes this man?

"Little Liuli?" Seeing that she was stunned, Xiao Shiyi called her.

"What does the letter say?" Liuli came back to her senses and took the letter casually, but she didn't read it, only asked.

"Let's put Arutai back in Tatar, and sure enough, he is being fought over by various forces, some want to kill him, and some want to protect. Some want to take advantage of it, in short, his life is not good, life is better than death. It is precisely because of him who deserves to die but does not die, that the interior of Tatar is now in chaos. The Xinhuo family army took this opportunity to expand westward. I took some land back, although it was not much, but it was enough for my uncle's subordinates to sing praises. ”

"Xiao Zuo is also very self-aggrandizing, isn't he?" That's good. The more you swell, the faster you die.

"And that's not the main thing." Xiao Shiyi's slender fingers unconsciously pointed at the small table next to him. "The key is that when the Xinhuo family army expanded westward, it found the depths of the northwest. There is a small country called Obir. ”

Liuli was stunned, she had never heard of this small country, and she didn't know what it had to do with her revenge.

"The country is very rich, but the military is not strong, like a piece of fine meat, placed in front of the wolves. Fortunately, all the regimes around it want to eat it, but they are all concerned about others, so they can keep it safe for the time being. Their lord is a knowledgeable person, and he knows that this is not a way to go on in the long run, and he must rely on the big country to survive, so he wants to form an alliance with Da Zhao. ”

"This is a good thing for Xiao Zuo!" Ruri thought for a moment, "He'll agree, and he'll make a big deal about it." ”

But in fact, since the Huo family army is from the Huo family, the loss must be far away in the northwest, and it is actually the Huo family that is attached to it. As long as he operates politically properly, Xiao Zuo can only be the ruler in name, but he is by no means the one who is in charge. Liuli believes that Xiao Shiyi and Shi will not put this great benefit to others to make wedding clothes.

Since Liuli understood, Xiao Shiyi naturally didn't explain more to her, but continued to speak. The two of them now have a little heart-to-heart connection in these "serious things". Compared with back then, Liuli and Shuishi Qiao have never had such a tacit understanding.

"Lost Bi'er invited himself to be a subject country, and invited Da Zhao to garrison. In order to show their sincerity, they sent their princess to Da Zhao and his relatives. I heard that the princess's name is Elimira, sixteen years old, and she is known as the first beauty of Lost Baby. ”

Ruri nodded, frowning slightly, but quickly let go again.

Political marriages were commonplace, and they were the only way to deal with diplomatic relations in ancient times, she understood. She just doesn't like it...... Xiao Shiyi praised the beauty of other women. However, she quickly removed this unhappiness from her mind. The stakes are high, she won't have a small belly.

"Will the Huo Jiajun send someone to send the princess to Da Zhao and kiss?" Ruri asked.

"I'm afraid that at this time, we are almost in the territory of Dazhao." Xiao Shiyi held his cheeks, revealing a curious look. But in Liuli's eyes, this appearance has become the meaning of yearning, and I am depressed for no reason.

"The northwest is far away from Jingli, and the letter was delayed on the way, so we only knew about it a little earlier than the imperial court. I heard that Huo Jiajun escorted the princess all the way, and encountered a lot of assassinations and interceptions, which was very hard. However, after entering Dazhao and taking the waterway, depending on Shui Shiqiao's ability, it should be much faster and safer. ”

"Does this have any effect on what we planned?" Specifically, there must be a connection. Otherwise, it's just an unexpected help.

"Xiao Liuli, as I said before, the so-called plan is to be constantly adjusted according to new events." He suddenly smiled like an elegant and cunning fox, "I think that the person you want to hold is not high enough, and he is going to go to the altar, but in the end he falls and gnaws on the stinky mud, then it is called fun." ”

Looking at his appearance, Liuli couldn't help but purse her lips, "What bad idea do you have?" ”

"Obviously your little head already has an idea, and you come to ask me, like how bad I am. In fact, compared to the bad water in the stomach, my little glass is called powerful. Xiao Shiyi blinked, "If this matter is planned well, my imperial uncle's attention will be firmly attracted." If you harm people in the front, I can find a way to make the edict public. ”

Sure enough, it's a serial scheme! Ruri thought to herself. Xiao Shiyi is too much, one stone to less than two birds, sometimes a group of birds.

"Come here, tell me what you've come up with?" Xiao Shiyi saw Liuli turning his head sideways and pondering, and his face couldn't help but show a little smug smile, and his heart itched again.

Alternatively, he could use this opportunity to let Ruri take another step towards him. Between them, after a few months of slow running-in, it is just such a small step.

In the near future, in the winter, Tokyo is bustling with activity.

It's not that there is any celebration among the people, but that the princess Ilymila of Misadventure entered Beijing under the escort of Huo Jiajun. A month earlier, the imperial court had received news that Xiao Zuolong, who had been struggling in the whirlpool of internal affairs and edicts recently, felt that he must be the true dragon emperor. Otherwise, why is it that whenever he is trapped in a difficult situation and can't get out, there will always be unexpected happy events to divert his pressure? He believes that in time, the Great Zhao Kingdom will definitely return to the prosperity of Qicheng ten years ago.

No, it's better than that. Nowadays, shipping is becoming more and more prosperous, and the right to operate mines in Linshan County has also been withdrawn, which is equivalent to three times the annual income in the national treasury. When the country is rich, he can strengthen the army, sweep the world, and achieve his fame.

He felt that he had outstanding political achievements and could surpass the famous monarchs of the ages, after all, since the founding of the Great Zhao Dynasty, no emperor had been able to expand his territory and accept one or two small countries as vassal states. For this reason, as early as the day after receiving the news, he ordered the Ministry of Rites to start preparations to welcome the princess, and it must be perfect, so that the princess can admire the elegance of the great country, and she will never miss it.

The only remaining adult prince is eager to try, no matter who can marry the princess of Lost Baby, it is equivalent to a great diplomatic help, and he will have a great advantage in the competition for the crown prince. They didn't know that Xiao Zuo himself hadn't expanded his harem for a long time, wasn't this a good opportunity?

"Your Majesty, what he thinks is quite beautiful." In the Jinyun Palace, Concubine Cui said to her personal palace maid while casually dyeing her nails, "But I heard that although the lord of the country who lost his son sent his own daughter and relatives, he allowed Princess Elimira to choose her own son-in-law, can he still force someone to be a concubine?" ”

"Mother, what should we do then?" The palace maid asked worriedly. In the harem, how important it is to fix a pet. It was not easy for the lady to win back the emperor's grace, and now that she has no son by her side, she must be careful.

"What to do!" Concubine Cui Shu sneered, "The emperor and the palace have been in love for more than 20 years. This palace believes that the affection will only fade, but it will not disappear. In that case, what is the urgency of this palace? This palace has been quiet in this palace for so long, do you really regret what you have done? But for the sake of my son, I endured! A man is never as reliable as a son. ”

"But His Royal Highness the Ninth is far away in the southwest......

"So, it's better for the emperor to keep an eye on the princess. If you are cold in this palace, this palace is easy to do. Concubine Cui Shu took out a letter from under the pillow, "As the master of the harem, Princess Elimira is here, and it must be the palace that is responsible for the entertainment arrangements." She has a noble status, and she is a woman, so the Ministry of Rites can't interfere. At that time, the palace will arrange for the princess to live in the palace, and the emperor must be happy. At that time, you took advantage of the chaos, found a way to leave the palace, and handed over the letter to my mother's house. Take your time for the following things. ”
