"Why did you bring me here?" Xiao Mingyue looked at a camellia forest in front of her and said.

Yu Wendi looked at Xiao Mingyue and said, "Because only here, there are only the two of us!" Why are you scared? ”

Looking at the beautiful camellia in front of her, Xiao Mingyue smiled while admiring it: "It was you who abducted people out of the palace without permission, what am I afraid of?" With that, he walked to the stone bench not far away and sat down.

"Interesting, but if anyone knows you'll have to marry me." Yu Wendi also walked over and sat down.

"The dignified Yuwen Gongzi would not do this." Xiao Mingyue said.

"Why are you so sure?" Yu Wendi looked at Mingyue and said.

"If Prince Yuwen wants to marry me, there is a great opportunity at the banquet just now, which can not only add to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, but also save face. If you and I are private now, even if I marry you, it will be disgraceful to your Yuwen family, and maybe the relationship will be affected at that time, Yuwen's family, as the first gate lord nobleman of the Northern Wei Dynasty, should value face the most. With that, he picked up the pastry on the stone table and ate it.

"Miss Mingyue is really smart, but I'm a gentleman, and I can do anything." Yu Wendi smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Mingyue said: "Your image as a gentleman is just to deceive other people, just now at the banquet, Mrs. Xue intended to let me compete with You Lanxin, with Mrs. Xue's clever words, if I don't perform something, he won't let me go easily, but because of your look, he didn't continue." Even people like Mrs. Xue can be at your mercy, it can be seen that you are not a gentleman at all, either pretending or ....... "It's not over yet.

Yu Wendi then said, "Either I want to marry you." As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Mingyue.

Xiao Mingyue pretended not to hear and ignored it.

Yu Wendi continued to add: "Mrs. Xue is mercenary, as long as the benefits are given more, he will naturally be obedient. ”

"So, it's very likely that Mrs. Xue has become one of yours?" Xiao Mingyue said.

"Little girl, don't be too smart, beware of not being able to marry, but don't worry, I will marry you!" Yu Wendi looked at Xiao Mingyue warmly.

Seeing Xiao Mingyue staring at him with dead eyes, he continued to add: "My father asked me to bribe Mrs. Xue, just to ask him to help promote the marriage between the two countries, and I really don't know anything else." But like this kind of old fox, we in the Northern Wei Dynasty will not really trust it. ”

"It seems that Yuwen Gongzi is really pretending to be confused." Xiao Mingyue said while dragging her face with her hands.

"In the court, there is intrigue, and this son is not interested." Yu Wendi said.

Xiao Mingyue said: "That's really a pity, Gongzi is a great talent, if he becomes an official, he will definitely be a strong rival of Daliang in the future." ”

Yu Wendi said: "After the peace is over, I will ask my father to write to Emperor Daliang for marriage." You don't have to worry about the girders. Yu Wendi said.

Xiao Mingyue said again: "I think you should still worry about your Northern Wei Dynasty now." Although the regimes of Liang and Wei were unstable, it is obvious that the contradictions between your Northern Wei and Wei are more serious. Emperor Wei has grown up now, and the contradiction with the Empress Dowager Zheng is deepening day by day, and sooner or later there will be a battle between the two sides in order to seize power. ”

"So, you're already worried about my life or death." The corners of Yu Wendi's mouth rose and smiled.

"I'm just worried about the peace between the two countries, after all, most of the Liang dynasty is a snobster like Xue Taifu, and then they will watch the fire from across the strait, what will you do?" Xiao Mingyue explained.

"That's none of my business." Yu Wendi said.

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, if the Empress Dowager Zheng's faction wins, the two countries will definitely start the war again. When the time comes, will you bear it? Xiao Mingyue looked at Yu Wendi and said.

"Compared with the fate of the world, I want to pursue my own happiness more." As soon as the words fell, he took out a rosewood box from his arms, opened it and took out a white jade phoenix hairpin, took Xiao Mingyue's hand, and put it on.

"I don't want such a precious hairpin. Please don't embarrass me. Xiao Mingyue said as she retracted her hand.

"If you don't want it, I will immediately report to Emperor Wu of Liang and say that you are already my person." Yu Wendi said.

"You dare!" Xiao Mingyue said nervously and a little angrily.

"It's a big deal to ruin the family's reputation, but I can't ask for you to get you." Yu Wendi looked at Xiao Mingyue and said.

"You...... Don't mess around. Xiao Mingyue said with some concern.

"So, you can only accept it, and when you reach the age of Jilu, I will marry you." Yu Wendi said with a smile.

"I won't marry you." Xiao Mingyue said.

"When I go back, I will prepare a dowry, and when the time comes, let you marry into Dawei." Yu Wendi said categorically.

Then, he got up and said again.

"This camellia forest, I just found out not long ago, after I met you in the restaurant that day, I bought it and gave it to you. In the future, during the period of my absence, if you miss me, you can come here to enjoy the flowers, or have someone send me a letter" After that, he put the title deed in Xiao Mingyue's hands.

"It's not too early, I'll send you back." After that, he pulled Xiao Mingyue into the carriage and went back to the palace.

Inside the main hall of the Royal Palace.

Emperor Wu of Liang, Taifu Xue, Dazai of Zhou, Huang Shangshu and several princes were all there, preparing for peace and marriage in order to discuss.

Emperor Wu said: "According to what the Qing family said, how much dowry should I prepare for Daliang?" ”

Zhou Dazai preemptively said: "According to the old minister, my Liang is willing to make peace with the Northern Wei Dynasty, which has already given them enough face, if the marriage is too rich, it seems that we are upside down." ”

Huang Shangshu said again: "You can refer to the previous dowry list between Youlan Jiaer and King Chengjun and his relatives. ”

Mrs. Xue thought for a while, stepped forward and said: "The minister thinks that when my Daliang daughter marries, she will inevitably prepare a bumper harvest dowry, and when she arrives in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Miss Youlan will have status." What's more, this time Miss Youlan married Emperor Xuanwu, and she was even more sloppy. ”

Xiao Jing heard what Mrs. Xue said on the side, and thought that it was his cousin and relatives, so he said: "Erchen agrees with what Mrs. Xue said, only the rich dowry can show that I am rich in land and resources, and the treasury is full. ”

Emperor Wu looked at Xiao Zhong and Xiao Wen again and said, "What do you two think?" ”

Xiao Zhong and Xiao Wen said: "Erchen has no objections. ”

So, Emperor Wu immediately decided to let You Lanxin marry as a princess and set off half a month later.

After the meeting, he went out of the main hall. Xiao Jing teased: "Big brother don't have to be upset, although Miss Mingyue was not selected this time, but there is still a chance to go to Fanbang and other relatives in the future." ”

Xiao Wen listened and hurriedly said for Xiao Zhong: "Sister Mingyue is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she just saves face for others. ”

Xiao Jing sneered when he heard this: "I'm afraid that my talent is not good, and I'm afraid that I will be embarrassed." ”

Xiao Zhong also didn't want his cousin to go to get married, so he said indifferently: "Mingyue is indeed not as good as the Youlan girl, so she didn't come forward to show off." ”

Xiao Jing was quite proud when he heard this, so he left with a "hum".

Xiao Wen took the opportunity to say to Xiao Zhong: "He has relied on the support of the queen over the years, and he has become more and more domineering, and now he doesn't even pay attention to his eldest brother, and he doesn't want to think that his eldest brother saved his life when he was a child." ”

Xiao Zhong listened, and said indifferently: "After all, he is the queen's son and our younger brother, let him do more in everything." ”

Xiao Wen rolled his eyes, and said: "The eldest brother is generous, and he is really an example for me to learn, but the third brother doesn't think so, he has always regarded the eldest brother as a strong enemy." ”

Xiao Zhong glanced at Xiao Wen and said, "I've never thought about fighting with him. Later he will understand. ”

And he left.

Xiao Wen saw that he couldn't provoke, so he left boringly.

A small garden outside Chunning Palace.

Amber is worried about Miss's safety, and on the other hand, she is worried that everyone will find out that Miss and Yuwen Gongzi have gone out.

So I was in a hurry and could only sit on the rockery and throw stones into the lake below.

Fidgeting. Suddenly seeing Xiao Mingyue coming back, she quickly wiped her eyes with her hand and said, "I'm not mistaken, Miss is back." After saying that, he ran down the rockery.

ran up to Miss and said excitedly: "Miss, you're finally back, that Yuwen Gongzi didn't treat you well, right?" ”

Xiao Mingyue smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine!" Didn't I tell my aunt that I was going to Xianfu Palace to find the little princess to fly a kite? Why are you waiting for me here? ”

Amber lowered her head and said, "The slave has never lied, and he is afraid that he will leak his mouth, and he is afraid of the girl's safety, so he does not dare to go back." ”

"Silly girl, I'll be fine." Xiao Mingyue looked at Amber and smiled.

When he returned to Chunning Palace, he invited Concubine Hu to say goodbye, then returned to his room with Amber, took a bath, asked Amber and them to step back, sat in front of the dressing mirror, looked at the hairpin and the land deed, and couldn't help but think of Yuwendi.

So he hurriedly stopped himself and said, "No, how can I think about that gentleman!" With that, he put the hairpin in it and locked it up with the title deed.

Half a month soon arrived, the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty took Youlanxin away, Youlanxin's wedding honor guard was vast, the dowry was also very rich, and the status of Queen Youlan in the harem was also more consolidated.

"Maybe the infighting of the Northern Wei royal family is about to begin." Xiao Mingyue sat alone in the courtyard and thought.
