Chapter 399: Temptation, Threat
"What do you mean by that?" Xuanyuan Zichen felt that this time Princess Mingyue must have a special purpose.
Princess Mingyue suddenly held her chin and leaned forward, her charming dark blue eyes staring at Xuanyuan Zichen tightly, as if she didn't want to miss any of his expressions.
"Actually, I don't mean anything, I didn't mean that at the banquet, I didn't mean it, although I know that you Nanqing may have special regulations, but in our Qiang people, there are not many such cases."
Xuanyuan Zichen suddenly thought of Princess Mingyue's dangerous speech yesterday, and the hand holding the tea cup suddenly tightened a little, but he didn't reveal any emotion, because the woman in front of him observed very little
"You are talking about sending my princess to the Qiang tribe and relatives, and then you marry me?"
Princess Mingyue suddenly laughed and trembled: "That's what I mean, you, the princess, I also saw it yesterday, beauty is beautiful, but lack of soul, I heard that you have spent several years with such a woman, don't you feel aggrieved?"
Lowering his eyes slightly, Xuanyuan Zichen took a sip of tea lightly: "This kind of thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, since the princess came to Nanqing as a hostage, then try to do what you should do as a hostage, make a vase, and maintain the safety of your Qiang tribe."
Although Xuanyuan Zichen said this, Princess Mingyue was a little unhappy, but who knew that the man in front of her, she liked it?
"Then I won't beat around the bush, I came to Nanqing this time for you."
"For me?"
"Yes, you don't have to be too surprised, I'm for you. After my imperial brother told me that after you led the army of the Southern Qing Dynasty to kill the Qiang army, I wanted to see you, saying that although I was young at that time, I also fell in love with you at first sight, but you just left like that, quietly, I should be sad. ”
In fact, this matter is not a big deal, when Xuanyuan Zichen was sixteen years old, he once followed the generals to crusade against the Qiang tribe, and was injured unintentionally, but was rescued by Princess Mingyue.
At that time, Princess Mingyue knew that this person was from Nanqing, but for the sake of his good looks, he was still saved, but after waking up, he disappeared, and later appeared on the battlefield.
This really annoyed Princess Mingyue.
"The war ended in a hurry back then, just to give you the Qiang people the strength to survive, otherwise, you would be able to develop until now?"
Xuanyuan Zichen raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Princess Mingyue in front of him, with a little warning in his eyes, the grace of saving his life is indeed true, the woman in front of him is indeed captivating, but what does it have to do with him? If it's not him, why should he care?
Princess Mingyue very simply admitted that in the original war, Xuanyuan Zichen did release the water, and estimated that a small half of the Yellow River should have been released, but she didn't want a life-saving grace to end like this.
"If you think that's the end of it, that's impossible. How can my Princess Mingyue's kindness be so easy to repay? I have a request, either let me be your side princess, I don't mind being inferior to your princess. ”
Both knew that this request was impossible, so they could only say the other request.
"What else?"
"And ...... You have to help me get the actual rights of the Qiang people, the princess of the Qiang tribe is not the princess of your Nanqing Dynasty, she can live under the shadow of her father and brother, in the Qiang tribe, the role of the princess is actually not much greater than that of other women. ”
Therefore, although Princess Mingyue was indeed favored in the past, the Khan often took her with her at that time. But now it is no longer the case, and even Princess Mingyue has not been married for a long time, which has caused the dissatisfaction of the Khan and the people in the tribe, so this time she took the opportunity to come to Nanqing.
Xuanyuan Zichen frowned slightly: "How is it possible to help you get the rights of the Qiang tribe?"
"Don't refuse so simply and decisively, I know you will definitely have a way, if you don't agree to me, I will definitely make you regret it."
Looking directly at Xuanyuan Zichen's eyes, Princess Mingyue raised her lips slightly, and the smile was called a beautiful one.
But such a beauty is also dangerous, Xuanyuan Zichen understands, so it is absolutely impossible to get close.
"If you let me repay you like this for saving my life, then my princess, her grandfather has saved my life, and she has saved my life, how can I repay it?"
Compared with the two, it seems that Princess Mingyue's is nothing, but Princess Mingyue doesn't care at all.
"That's your business, what I need is just my repayment, you can think about it slowly, anyway, I will stay in Nanqing for a long time. You don't have to worry too much, although the Qiang people lost 50,000 prizes, but the 50,000 is under the banner of the general, the Khan is old, and the general is a little moved, so you should understand. ”
Xuanyuan Zichen looked at Princess Mingyue in front of him calmly, but he was still a little wary in his heart.
"What do you mean, those 50,000 military horses deliberately attacked Nanqing with a sneak attack?"
It is estimated that she is a little tired, Princess Mingyue is lying on the couch with her chin propped up, but there is a key problem, there are some differences between the costumes of the Qiang people and the costumes of the Southern Qing Dynasty. happy
"It can be said that whoever made you Nanqing worry about internal and external troubles at that time, we don't intervene, we feel sorry for us."
Xuanyuan Zichen lowered his eyes in time, and did not take another look, Princess Mingyue in front of him was not the person he liked before, and she will not be in the future.
"Then your Qiang tribe is indeed powerful, but I also told you that it is impossible for you to become my side princess, as for the latter condition, it is impossible for me to agree to it now, wait until I go back and think about it."
"Of course you can, anyway, this matter depends on whether you agree or not, and I don't care about myself. If you don't agree, I'll let you know what the price will be if you don't agree to my request. ”
If you say you like it, Princess Mingyue must like Xuanyuan Zichen, how can she not like such power and appearance?
It's just that there are more important things than power and appearance, that is, the power in his own hands, although there are rebels in the south of the Southern Qing Dynasty now, it is not important, Princess Mingyue knows that Xuanyuan Zichen will definitely solve them.
From the time he entered the tea room to the present, Xuanyuan Zichen has only drunk a cup of tea, he came over secretly this time, Yue'er should not have found out, but just in case, it is better to leave as soon as possible.
"I will go back and think about this matter, but you must be extremely low-key during this time in the capital, if you cause any trouble at that time, I will let you Qiang people make amends for you."
If it weren't for the vast territory of the Qiang people, which were basically grasslands, and the people of the Southern Qing Dynasty didn't like this, the price they would have to bear would not be as simple as recovering the lost land.
Expanding the territory is the favorite of the royal family, and Xuanyuan Zichen, who is the regent, is naturally no exception, especially surrounded by strong enemies, and it is necessary to be cautious, only by constantly improving the strength of the Southern Qing Dynasty and arousing the jealousy of others can it occupy a place.
But what Princess Mingyue has always cared about is not the Qiang tribe at all.
"If I cause any trouble, someone will naturally clean it up, and now I am still the princess of the Qiang tribe, they naturally want to respect me, you don't need to care about this."
Although there are more rights to be enjoyed in this position, although there are also some obligations, it is not important.
"By the way, I forgot to say, your princess doesn't look interesting, although her appearance is indeed good, but such a look, is there still less in this world? Are you willing to guard such a person? ”
As long as Shen Liuyue was mentioned, Xuanyuan Zichen couldn't help but mention his vigilance, mainly because Princess Mingyue in front of him was too careless when she did things, and even didn't hesitate to lose both, to be able to achieve her goal.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, you must remember your identity, if you dare to be against her, I will make you regret coming here."
Xuanyuan Zichen's strong maintenance is even more envious of Princess Mingyue, when will she be able to have such maintenance?
"Don't worry, I don't have this plan right now anyway, but if you can't make a decision, I'll let you know."
Although she doesn't have much contact with Shen Liuyue's personality and doesn't know very well, according to the previous investigation, this is a person who has a very clear love and hate, and has said that once she notices what Xuanyuan Zichen has in mind and gets substantial evidence, she will throw her hand and leave.
"Your princess has always been very popular, you must be optimistic."
After seeing Xuanyuan Zichen leave, Princess Mingyue smiled more and more charmingly.
Originally, I thought that he would not come over today, but as long as he came, this matter would not be unsuccessful.
I heard that when the regent and the princess got married, they made a decision to live as a couple for the rest of their lives, and if he didn't agree to her request, she would make this decision an illusory promise.
Anyway, such a decision is quite popular in the Nanqing Dynasty, and I heard that no one should swear it.
As for what happens after death, no one knows what it's like to die anyway, so let's do that.
No matter what Princess Mingyue thought, Xuanyuan Zichen led people back to the barracks immediately, and Shen Liuyue already knew about it at this time.
When Yi'er came back, her face was worried, and after saying it carefully, Shen Liuyue just put the medicinal herbs that were accidentally torn off in her hand next to her, and then went back to work.
Originally, I wanted to explain a few words to the princess, but when Yi'er saw the princess like this, she suddenly didn't dare to say anything.
"Today, it's the shadow and the shadow who follow him, it should be found on purpose, so that you can report back to me, it's okay, I'm fine, you go and rest first."
Yi'er could only leave nervously, and when she left, she deliberately glanced at Ru'er, hoping that Ru'er could take care of Shen Liuyue.
Looking at the large pile of medicinal herbs in front of her and smelling the medicinal fragrance in the air, Shen Liuyue only felt that her mood was on the verge of being irritable.
She has done so many things for him, and even came to the barracks to take care of her, but he has been hiding this matter from her, could it be that there is really some unsavory relationship between them?
