Since Princess Mingyue dared to be so arrogant on the territory of Nanqing, then Shen Liuyue could let her know what the price of such arrogance would be.

"What does remembering your face do? Do you think that remembering your face will give you a place in the Regent's Palace? You can't see this, but it's beautiful. ”

When Princess Mingyue heard this, she actually smiled very beautifully, looking at Xuanyuan Zichen's eyes, with undisguised possessiveness, just like the eyes of the eldest prince looking at Shen Liuyue at the beginning.

"Why does the princess speak so harshly, it's a matter of time anyway, I don't dislike having a husband with you, how can you dislike me?"

Shen Liuyue just glanced at Xuanyuan Zichen quietly, and she didn't answer this.

Xuanyuan Zichen spoke: "It is impossible to agree to the marriage, there is no suitable candidate among the Southern Qing Imperial Family, Princess Mingyue should go back quickly, as for the compensation mentioned, it will be according to the previous ones." Nian lacked grain and grass among the Qiang people, so those grains and grasses were converted into gold and sent over, not to mention the rest, 100,000 taels of gold must be sent to Nanqing. ”

As long as you have enough money in your hand, many things will be natural.

This is also what Xuanyuan Zichen thinks.

Before Princess Mingyue could speak, the envoy couldn't bear it anymore: "Is it too much for the regent to say this?" 100,000 taels of gold, you have to go down. ”

Xuanyuan Zichen casually shook the tea cup in his hand, and it happened to splash on the pillar behind the envoy.

"This is what you said just now, 60,000 taels of gold plus new weapons and those 1,000 people, not to mention those grain and grass, you are so brazen, then what do I want to do with this face?"

In the way of the other, return the body of the other.

"This matter is so decided, as for the marriage, the whole Nanqing Dynasty will not agree, Princess Mingyue should go back as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, it is obvious that Xuanyuan Zichen's tone has become a little sharp, as a regent above 10,000 people under one person, his status in the entire Southern Qing Dynasty is very obvious.

The little emperor didn't say much from beginning to end, obviously handing over this matter to Xuanyuan Zichen.

"We Qiang don't have 100,000 taels of gold, so much gold, why don't you grab it?"

Who knew that the messenger was still chattering, and his face, which was already not compatible with handsome, was even more distorted, which was very disgusting.

Xuanyuan Zichen pressed his forehead lightly, but his eyes were looking at Princess Mingyue, whose face was a little cold at this time.

"After arriving at the post station, tell your uncle well, in this Nanqing, it is not that he can be presumptuous casually, if he dares to continue to be presumptuous, this king will let him take Nanqing vertically and go back to the Qiang tribe horizontally."

This sentence can be said to have been unanimously approved by Honglu Temple, and those who do diplomacy do not recognize this kind of thing.

But today, this home is obviously not them, so it is also very low-key, but listening to the words of the Qiang envoy just now, Honglu Temple made up its mind in his heart to give them a little good-looking.

Princess Mingyue glared at the envoy next to her, not saving face for the envoy at all.

"Since you just said that marriage is not allowed, then Princess Ben is willing to stay in the capital as a hostage in exchange for peace between the two countries, this, you should not refuse."

If this refuses again, it will seem that Nanqing is extremely stingy.

This is the same woman, Shen Liuyue naturally understands that Princess Mingyue has another deep meaning in her words.

As long as you can stay, there is a way. If the time comes, the capital and the Qiang people are thousands of miles away, how can there be other connections?

Although Shen Liuyue didn't quite agree, it was obvious that she still had to agree this time.

Even for the sake of the 100,000 taels of gold.

After this matter was confirmed, the dinner party returned to normal, the musicians sang, the dancers danced, and the scene was extraordinarily enjoyable.

But everyone knows that now, it's all false.

Shen Liuyue approached Xuanyuan Zichen and said in his ear, "Do you think this Princess Mingyue is just staying in the capital?"

"Her identity is very special, no matter what, the Qiang people will not give up on her, let her stay in the capital, so that the Qiang people can send the 100,000 taels of gold as they wish, as for what she will do if she stays in the capital, someone will watch."

Xuanyuan Zichen didn't want Shen Liuyue to misunderstand this matter, but there was one thing he forgot to tell Shen Liuyue.

"This Princess Mingyue did have a relationship with me several times when she was a child, but it was a long time ago, I don't remember it very clearly, she wants to use this matter to get closer to me, it is not very useful."

Although he said that, thinking of Princess Mingyue's ambiguous smile just now, Shen Liuyue felt that maybe things were not as simple as Xuanyuan Zichen imagined.

"I know, I'll get people's attention over there in Honglu Temple, but I think that the person has already been delivered, and the Qiang people shouldn't dare to play other tricks."

If one is not careful, just let Princess Mingyue leave her life here.

This scene should not be something that the Qiang people are willing to accept.

"Okay, let's go back and rest early, this matter has been decided, we can stay in the capital for a few more days, just to make up for the hard work before."

The two were quietly talking privately, and Princess Mingyue over there kept looking at this side. Sissy

For Xuanyuan Zichen, Princess Mingyue has been inquiring about him for so many years and has never let go.

Originally, I thought that Xuanyuan Zichen was disabled and the residual poison in his body was not cleared, so he was not worthy of his admiration, but he didn't expect to see Xuanyuan Zichen again, he was still so handsome, so he definitely couldn't miss it.

The smile on the corner of Princess Mingyue's lips was full of ambition, especially when she met Shen Liuyue's eyes, she gently raised the tea cup in her hand, full of provocation.

And Xuanyuan Zichen didn't see this scene, but the two maids behind him saw it.

It is said that men look at women, and women look at women differently.

In the face of Princess Mingyue, Xuanyuan Zichen and Shen Liuyue are the same.

When I returned to the Regent's Palace, it was already late at night, and I was going to rest after starting to wash, but who knows, at this time, a special guest was ushered in.

"Lord and Princess, there is a person at the gate of the palace who claims to be Princess Mingyue who wants to see the prince."

Shen Liuyue was about to take off the hairpin on her head, when she heard this, she immediately stopped, and looked at Xuanyuan Zichen from the bronze mirror.

Xuanyuan Zichen obviously felt a little inexplicable, but since someone came, he should always want to see him.

"Did you say why you came to the palace?"

"The subordinates didn't hear it, and they didn't know what it was for, but it should have been a purpose."

The housekeeper has been in the palace for so many years, and it can be said that it is the first time he has seen a princess from another country who comes to the door in the middle of the night.

Originally, Xuanyuan Zichen didn't plan to go out, but after thinking about it for a while, he still planned to go out and have a look.

"You rest first, I'll be back shortly."

Xuanyuan Zichen's decision, Shen Liuyue did not stop it, but comforted him in a gentle tone.

"Then you should hurry up, Princess Mingyue came to the Regent's Mansion late at night, if it spreads, it will inevitably affect your reputation."

Because of this sentence, Xuanyuan Zichen walked back, left a gentle kiss on Shen Liuyue's forehead, and then went out.

This happened, Shen Liuyue no longer had the idea of removing makeup and washing, and looked at herself in the mirror fixedly, feeling that many years had passed.

"Yi'er, you said that this relationship, will it become fading the longer it goes?"

Yi'er simply took over Shen Liuyue's matter and began to remove Shen Liuyue's makeup.

"Wherever the master said, it is said that the relationship between men and women is like that old wine, the longer it goes, the more mellow it becomes, probably because of the sudden appearance of Princess Mingyue, which makes the master feel a little uncomfortable, but you have to believe the prince, there were so many women before, but nothing happened."

Although she said that, as long as she thought of Princess Mingyue's inevitable smile today, and the flash in Xuanyuan Zichen's eyes, Shen Liuyue felt that her heart was beating non-stop.

"But not all feelings are like this, although Princess Mingyue said very directly, there is one sentence that is not wrong after all."

Spreading her hair in a bun, Yi'er asked cautiously, "I don't know what the master said?"

"I have been married to the prince for several years, and I really don't have any children, although it was because the prince was in poor health before, but after that, there are still no children."

This matter has always been a knot in Shen Liuyue's heart, although Xuanyuan Zichen has also comforted her, but because it is a knot, it is impossible to let go so easily.

Shen Yi'er glanced at Ru'er, who was packing up her things next to her, and the eyes of both of them were very worried.

"Master, don't say that, the prince's body has just gotten better, and it will take a while for this to be raised. As for this child, there must be something to be had, and you are all still young. ”

Young? Looking at her face in the mirror, Shen Liuyue suddenly felt that she was no longer young.

And at this time, Xuanyuan Zichen, who went to see Princess Mingyue, was not very calm in his heart, Princess Mingyue herself must not be able to marry, but back then, it was precisely because of the help of the Khan that she was able to win that war.

And in that war, Princess Mingyue also suffered a wound on her arm, and she still has a scar.

Although a long time has passed, there are some things that cannot be forgotten.

At the entrance of the Regent's Palace, in a remote corner.

Xuanyuan Zichen held his hands behind his back and looked at the bewitching and beautiful woman in front of him, and he was very appropriately separated by a distance.

"It's more midnight. Why are you here? ”

"Why am I here? Don't you know? Shouldn't you give me an explanation, not that I'm so aggressive? ”

Princess Mingyue was not as arrogant as she was at the dinner party at this time, and there was a bleak color around her, like a lonely eagle in the desert.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Zichen was silent: "It's not too early now, you better go back quickly, anyway, you stay in the capital from now on, if there is really something, let's talk about it then."
