Speaking of this, Duan Jin sighed slightly: "The Great Qi Dynasty is in the southwest and northwest, although there are also some tribes here, but whether it is strength or power, it does not pose any threat to your imperial court at all. Even if there is occasional turmoil, for the Great Qi Dynasty, which is unified from top to bottom and unified government decrees, it is just an itch, and it will not shake your foundation at all. ”

"But there are too many clans in Dali, two capitals, eight prefectures, four counties, six families, four major towns, plus Baiyi, Nanjiang, Nanguang and barbarians, a total of 37 tribes. The six great families competed for power and profit, and among the thirty-six tribes, they were divided into large and small tribes. These tribes have their own affairs, and there are not a few who have a lot of self-respecting troops. ”

"Back then, the Holy Emperor Wenwu of my Dali Kingdom Taizu started by borrowing troops from the 37th Department of Heijiao, and finally laid down the great rivers and mountains of these eight prefectures and four counties. Although these tribes said that they helped Emperor Taizu to settle the country, it was because they were too disappointed in the former Yang Dayi Ningguo, but they may not really surrender. ”

"Except for Emperor Taizu Divine Wenwu, who was extremely martial artistic, and during the reign of the third emperor Emperor Shengci Wenwu, these tribes were still tame. In recent years, whenever there is even the slightest dissatisfaction with the imperial decrees, those tribes have rebelled at every turn. In addition, the two great families of Dong and Yang in the court took power, and the marriage with the other four families became the first choice of the royal family. ”

"Although the Gao family is a rising star, in recent years, there have been many talents and strength. In particular, the prestige of the tribes of Tokyo's Zensu Prefecture is growing. At the beginning, my father chose an outstanding son of the Gao family for me as my concubine. This person, I've never seen before. It's just that I heard that this person is extremely talented, and his wrist is quite good. ”

"The reason why the Gao family was able to control those difficult tribes was that this person was a great contribution. However, maybe we really don't have fate. In the previous future and big wedding, his father died suddenly. After the period of filial piety had passed, when the imperial brother was about to marry me, he was assassinated again. Although Yunying was not married, I became a widow for some reason. ”

"My Dali country is not as good as your Han people, and there are many widows who remarry. It is normal for a widow to remarry, not to mention that the two of us have not yet married, but their family has accepted the dowry. Therefore, in the second year of his assassination, the imperial brother was ready to choose another husband from the Gao family for me. But I was so disgusted with this marriage that I used that as an excuse to run away. ”

"The emperor's brother is dedicated to worshipping the Buddha, and he feels sorry for me, a young sister, so he didn't force me during his reign. After the death of the imperial brother, my nephew just succeeded to the throne, facing the increasingly powerful Gao clan in recent years. He is also bent on strengthening the strength of the royal family through marriage in order to compete with the Gao family. I have been forced to choose a new husband, even to the point of three holy decrees in January. ”

"I really don't want to be a bargaining chip for the exchange of interests, which is why I went to Ailao Mountain. I just hid in Ailao Mountain, and my nephew refused to let me go, and sent people to coerce and lure me many times. In order to avoid forced marriage and those intrigues, I tried my best to barely achieve my goal. ”

"I've seen too many ups and downs over the years. The intrigues and countless rules of the Emperor's House made me feel tired of the life of the Emperor's Family. I've been really tired all these years, and I really don't want to be in the emperor's house. Why do you have to pull me in again? Is there really a difference between your emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty and the Dali Kingdom? ”

Listening to Duan Jin's tone, he couldn't tell the tiredness and sadness. It can be imagined how she has lived Huang Qiong over the years, and she can't help but feel a little distressed. It was an emperor who persecuted him, although that emperor was not as powerful as the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, but he was an emperor after all. There should be no shortage of means. Although her martial arts skills are high, she is only a woman after all.

Although she has the status of an eldest princess, she has no real power in her hands. Facing the coercion of her emperor's nephew, it is conceivable that her situation has been difficult over the years. She was born in Dali Kingdom, Huang Qiong is actually not very clear. Even in previous lives, the history books of the past dynasties did not record this small country on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in China in great detail.

Even the royal tombs of this kingdom have never been found. In the previous life, most people's understanding of the mysterious ancient kingdom was probably more from the martial arts novels of a certain master. And when he came to this era, Huang Qiong had never deliberately understood the southwestern neighbor of the Great Qi Dynasty.

After all, for the Great Qi Dynasty, this almost unknown country in the Central Plains was far less threatening than the Northern Liao. It is not as threatening as the Tubo and Uighur who had hit Chang'an several times in the pre-Tang Dynasty. But after all, it is a country, no matter how small a country is, as an emperor, it is just as angry as a million.

Huang Qiong, who hugged Duan Jin tightly, listened to her and did not answer her immediately, but hugged her tightly in her arms for a long time before saying: "Everything is with me, no one will force you to do things you don't like in the future." Your nephew's hand is stretched out, and it can't reach out to me. ”

"Don't worry about the rest, I grew up in the cold palace since I was a child. In addition to a mother, there is a palace maid who has taken me since childhood, and two deaf and dumb eunuchs. Outside of the first time, I didn't even see an outsider before I left the palace. No one has ever taught me what kind of rules I should pay attention to as a prince. ”

"I haven't learned any of those things, so why should I ask you to do the same? Do you really think that I'm the kind of person who has to follow the rules in everything? In fact, you don't know that what you really attract to me is the sincerity and freedom of your character. If everything was in order, I don't think I would like it. ”

Regarding Huang Qiong's answer, Duan Jin just smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. Looking at the silent Duan Jin, Huang Qiong pondered for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "If you really don't want to go back to the British King's Mansion with me, then after returning to Beijing, you will stay with Hanyan." It just so happens that Sister Xiu is getting married, and you can stay there just in time to be a companion with Hanyan. ”

"Her status as a princess is already certain that she will be deposed after returning to Beijing. So although she will have some rules there, she definitely doesn't have as many rules in the palace and the palace. Stay in the capital, no matter how bold that nephew of yours is, he won't dare to stretch out his hand to Jingzhao. There, no one will force you. ”

"You can also accompany the flowers with Hanyan, she teaches literature, and you practice martial arts. Don't you want to collect flowers as apprentices? I promised, you stay with her, just in time to teach Hua Hua martial arts. However, you must also promise me that you will not leave my sight. This is already my bottom line, if you still don't agree, then even if I use a tie-up, I will tie you back to the British Palace. ”

Huang Qiong knows that this woman looks very approachable, but in fact, she is a rather unbending character. She was born in the royal family, she is the eldest princess of Dali, and she is known as the first beauty and master in Tiannan, and she must have arrogance in her bones. Otherwise, he would not face his nephew's forced marriage, and would rather give up the luxurious life of the royal family, hide in the Ailao Mountain, and have always chosen to fight until now.

Although her martial arts are not as good as herself, she is the highest among the people around her, and even Liu Hu is inferior to her. If he really pushed her too hard, if she really wanted to disappear, he really didn't know where to find her. It just so happened that Li Xiu got married, and after returning to Beijing, Lin Hanyan was not at ease alone.

Putting her on Lin Hanyan's side, in addition to not pushing her too hard, at least temporarily allowing her to stay in his sight, can also protect Lin Hanyan and Huahua, the mother and daughter. In order to keep Duan Jin, Huang Qiong also worked hard. It's just that after he said what he meant, Duan Jin looked at him with a suspicious look, obviously not daring to believe him.

Facing Duan Jin's suspicious gaze, Huang Qiong's face was somewhat unbearable, and he said in a displeased tone: "Why, you don't believe my words either?" When have I never fulfilled a promise I made? Besides, you're already my woman, is it interesting for me to lie to you? Women, don't be pampered. ”

Regarding Huang Qiong's later words, Duan Jin rolled his eyes a little unladylikely, and said very ungracefully: "Phew, is your words so credible?" I have heard Yi Ying say that you clearly promised others that if you were honest with you, you would let them go. But who is the one who finally repents? You've said you're not interested in me, but what did you do last night? ”

"You're too cunning. This time, your guard, along with the villagers here, was obviously used by you, but he still had to be grateful to you. Don't let me see that you are wearing a prince's suit, reading the memorial to Liu Hu's family with great fanfare, and holding a flowing water banquet to invite the villagers here. Even when the villagers of Shili and Eight Villages come to eat, you are just as hospitable. ”

"Those villagers don't know your true identity, but how can the uninvited gentry not recognize your clothes as princely clothes? Not to mention that you yourself are acting, you actually let Lin Hanyan help you act. After you have done this, even if someone sees through your mind, they will have to give you a thumbs up on the bright side and praise you as the most compassionate prince in the court. ”

"You can't find those people who are rumors behind them, so you use this method, spend a little money, and come to the bottom of the kettle. Then spread the word about it, and then cooperate with you in the aftermath. Even if those who spread rumors behind their backs are working hard, I am afraid that what they have done will only be in vain. ”

"A pile of dry firewood that could have been ignited at any time was extinguished by you in an instant, and there will not be even a single spark. If your method is passed on to the Jingshi, I am afraid that no matter how scheming the current emperor is, he will have to give you a thumbs up. You are such a cunning person, how can I know that your promise is not to deceive me to the capital and then change my hexagram? ”

"When the time comes, you will turn your face and deny people, and I will not be your opponent. The Jingzhao Mansion of the Great Qi Dynasty, I can't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and it's not what you say? You can even use your own woman and your own personal guards, who knows if you are coaxing me? Outsiders don't know, but I know that Lin Hanyan has already rolled into the same bed with you. ”

Duan Jin's promise to Huang Qiong shows that he is very distrustful. Looking at this woman, with such a difficult posture, Huang Qiong twisted her brows and said, "Yi Ying's matter is not that I simply broke my word, but that I have other considerations. Don't worry, as long as you promise not to hide from me, I will definitely do what I promised you. ”

Hearing Huang Qiong's promise again, Duan Jin hesitated: "Really? Can you really do it? Well, I'll trust you once. I also promise you that when I return to Jingzhao Mansion, I will be with Lin Hanyan. But if you break your word, I'll keep you from finding me for the rest of your life. My martial arts skills are not as good as yours, but I still have a way to hide from you. ”

Seeing that this woman was finally relieved, Huang Qiong breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Huang Qiong, who was just relaxed, made some small jokes with Duan Jin from time to time to ease Duan Jin's emotions. But the hand holding Duan Jin was very dishonestly stretched into the quilt that Duan Jin was wrapping in. The astonishing abundance in her hands last night made Huang Qiong really miss it.
