Cloud City in the northern border of the Xia Kingdom!

Zhenbei Palace!

In the study, a middle-aged man who looked like Emperor Xia sat at the table and read the memoranda of the northern border.

He is Li Yan, the northern king of Xia Guozhen, and the younger brother of Li Xuan, the emperor of Xia. In the past 20 years, Li Yan has been loyal to his duties, generous and benevolent to people, often helping people in need, and has also won the respect of the people in the northern part of Great Xia.

At this time, the door of the study was directly opened from the outside, and the king of Zhenbei frowned slightly, could it be that he was not strict with the people in the house, and anyone could enter and exit his study casually?

"Father, news has just come from the south that the emperor will be able to reach Cloud City tomorrow!" Li Ziming ran in and said excitedly.

Seeing that the reckless person was his beloved son, King Zhenbei's anger was half a point less. Then as soon as he heard the news that Emperor Xia was going to Cloud City, that half of his anger disappeared.

"Really?"

King Zhenbei put down the pen and ink in his hand, and immediately stood up and ordered: "Go quickly!" Tell the butler to prepare the best room in the house, and leave everything in the house to you, this king will live on the city wall tonight, and he will be able to meet the royal brother as soon as possible tomorrow! ”

When he heard that the king of Zhenbei was going to stay on the city wall overnight, Li Ziming said with concern: "But, father, your body, Dr. Liu said that you can't suffer the cold!" ”

"It's already April, it's almost summer, what kind of wind chill is not wind cold!" King Zhenbei waved his impatient hand and said: "Okay, you go down immediately to arrange, what should be and what shouldn't be prepared must be prepared, don't make a mistake, this king will go first!" ”

"Wait, father!"

Looking at the distant figure of the king of Zhenbei, Li Ziming smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and then called the palace housekeeper to prepare for the drive!

……

Early the next morning, above the south gate of Cloud Mist City in Juque Continent in the north of the Xia Kingdom!

"Report!"

A northern soldier ran over quickly: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty and the 100,000 troops of my Xia Kingdom have entered Pingning Pass, and they will arrive in Cloud City in an hour!" ”

A gleam flashed in the eyes of King Zhenbei, and he smiled heartily: "Haha, then follow this king out of the city to greet Your Majesty!" ”

"No!"

At this time, on the streets of Cloud City, groups of people were talking about His Majesty's going north to the Summit Congress.

"Alas! It is said that at the peak of this year's Congress, His Majesty specially brought Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager to the meeting, and the meaning is self-evident! ”

"No, it won't! Her Royal Highness the princess is a woman, how can she be like this, how can she be ......"

"Look at what you said, the troubled times are at the head, and those who can live in it, except for Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager in Daxia, who else can do this?"

"That's it! The other princes are either honest or intent on rebellion, none of them are good! ”

"Shhhh

When everyone heard the news, they all talked about it, and some didn't believe it!

Hundreds of people walked towards the city gate, only to see Li Yan, the king of Zhenbei, standing at the front in formal clothes, and behind him stood the officials of the north

"Princess Zhenbei has arrived!"

Suddenly, the singer shouted, and saw a middle-aged woman in a command suit walking out surrounded by a group of maids! Although the woman is middle-aged, she still has a beautiful face and a good figure, which is no worse than when she was young!

"Where is Your Majesty?"

Zhao Lanruo walked over and looked at Li Yan and looked into the distance.

"There are still more than a dozen miles!"

The king of Zhenbei estimated it, and whispered to Zhao Lanruo: "Follow this king for twelve miles!" ”

Zhao Lanruo nodded hurriedly: "No!" ”

"Father, Mother!"

When King Zhenbei and Zhao Lanruo were about to walk forward, they heard a voice behind them, Li Yan looked back and said in a deep voice, "Are you ready?" ”

"Please rest assured that the child is doing things!" Li Ziming said with a smile.

"Good!" Li Yan smiled faintly.

Li Siqi saw from a distance the three members of the Zhenbei Wang family and the officials of the entire northern border, but he didn't expect that he would go out of the city for twelve miles, and besides, all the thousands of defenders in Cloud City were brought out!

Emperor Xia had already left Longyuan when he was in Pingning City, and rode on the black wind horse, and the king of Zhenbei saw the figure of Emperor Xia and others, and immediately trotted forward, knelt down on one knee and said: "Brother courtier, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

"Lan Ruo, see Your Majesty!"

"Ministers, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"

Emperor Xia rode a black horse, swept around and laughed, and immediately dismounted in front of King Zhenbei after finishing speaking, and personally helped him up, and said softly: "Brother Huang, I miss you so much!" ”

"Brother Huang, brother is thinking about you all the time!"

At this time, Li Xuan and Li Yan brothers were all hugging each other with tears streaming down their faces, and their daughter's affection does not only exist in men's emotions, but sometimes, the friendship and affection between men are also the same. The royal brothers did not kill each other because of the struggle for the throne, in fact, this is very rare!

"Welcome to the North!"

"The soldiers have worked hard all the way!"

A group of officials from the north stepped forward to congratulate them.

Zhao Lanruo walked over with a smile, stood beside Li Yan, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang, let's go to the city first!" ”

"Yes!"

Only then did the king of Zhenbei remember the most important thing at this time, and immediately waved his hand, and the defenders in the rear immediately made way and said, "Brother Huang, please!" ”

"Hahaha! Good! ”

Xia Huang smiled heartily and walked towards the city, Li Siqi followed behind, Gao Shun and Yue Fei and other generals also followed behind Li Siqi and walked towards Cloud Mist City.

……

The North's Palace!

Li Yan, the king of Zhenbei, specially set up a banquet for the Xia Emperor to catch the wind and wash the dust!

"Brother Huang has come from afar, I respect you!" King Zhenbei smiled and toasted to Emperor Xia.

"Imperial brother doesn't need to be polite," Xia Huang said with a hearty smile.

After a glass of wine, King Zhenbei looked at Li Siqi, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect that the emperor's niece, who had not been seen for a few years, would become more and more beautiful and moving, and the word "country and city" was no longer worthy of her!

Indeed, after Li Siqi added points to the system's appearance, she is no longer just the princess who once captivated the country and the city, and now she is not an exaggeration to describe it with words such as fairy and fairy, the "Qi fairy", the first of the four beauties of the Xia Kingdom, has really become a fairy this time!

Li Yan smiled and asked, "Brother Huang, I don't know if Qi'er has any family affairs?" ”

Li Siqi blushed when she heard this, this is a problem she has been avoiding but has to face.

On the contrary, Emperor Xia at this moment frowned slightly, he was very conflicted, he hoped that his beloved daughter could marry a good husband, but he was worried that his daughter would be another man's in the future, and she would no longer be his baby, which was also the worry of fathers all over the world when they married their daughters!

Emperor Xia's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Not yet, I don't know if the emperor's brother wants to...?"

"Lan Ruo has a nephew named Zhao Qiuyun, who is twenty years old this year, quite handsome and chic, both civil and military, and is the top three in this year's imperial examination!" Li Yan kindly pulled the red line and said: "Just three days ago, he came to the north to deal with some miscellaneous affairs of the family, and now he hasn't left yet, why don't you arrange for the two of them to meet and have a look, maybe they can take a look?" ”

Emperor Xia looked at Li Siqi and asked, "Qi'er, what do you think?" ”

"I..."

Li Siqi pretended to be indifferent, drank all the wine in the cup, and said softly: "It's all up to my father!" ”

"This..."Emperor Xia pondered for a while, sighed and said, "Okay, let's have a chance to let them meet!" ”

"No!"

Li Yan is purely kind-hearted, one is the nephew of Zhao Lanruo, the princess of Zhenbei, and the other is also for the marriage of his imperial niece. If this Zhao Qiuyun is average-looking and does nothing, even if it is the family of the princess of Zhenbei, it will not lead this line!

...

At this time, in a guest room in the north of the town!

"Qiuyun, you have to seize this opportunity, if you can get Li Siqi's favor, then the day she ascends the throne in the future will be the time when our Zhao family rises!" Zhao Lanruo sat at the table and said in a deep voice.

"Little aunt, rest assured, I have sincerely admired the imperial princess for a long time, even if it is not for my Zhao family, for myself, I have to pay ten times and a hundred times the effort to pursue, I can be accompanied by this beloved, Qiuyun has no regrets in this life!" The young man beside Zhao Lanruo said with a smile.

"Okay, then it's set for today's dinner, you must dress up better, don't lose the face of my Zhao family!" Zhao Lanruo commanded solemnly.

"Don't worry, little aunt, Qiuyun understands!" Zhao Qiuyun nodded solemnly.

...

When night fell, the Zhenbei Wangfu at this time was still brilliant.

"Brother Huang, you're here!"

Li Siqi followed Emperor Xia to the main hall of the palace, and Li Yan stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

Emperor Xia bowed slightly and said, "Brother Huang, I don't know who the son of the Zhao family is, introduce me to me!"

"Brother Huang, this is Lan Ruo's nephew Zhao Qiuyun!"

Xia Huang and Li Siqi looked at the fingers of King Zhenbei, and it was a handsome man in a gorgeous costume.

Zhao Qiuyun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully and said, "See Your Majesty, I've seen Her Royal Highness!" ”

"Yes, I've seen you, at the time of the scientific examination, you were the top of the liberal arts list, the champion of martial arts, and you were a rare talent!" Emperor Xia bowed his head slightly and praised.

Zhao Qiuyun immediately responded: "Qiuyun is only a shallow learner, and he is not worthy of the word "Tianzhong", but Qiuyun is more grateful for his efforts than people of the same age, that's all!" ”

"Yes, talented but not arrogant!" Emperor Xia bowed his head slightly and praised: "Qi'er, you know each other!" ”

"Hmm" Li Siqi nodded with Emperor Xia, and smiled indifferently at Zhao Qiuyun: "Zhao Gongzi is polite!" ”

In the past, he could only watch from a distance on the street of the imperial capital, but this was the first time Zhao Qiuyun looked at Li Siqi so closely, and the fair-skinned and beautiful girl in front of him saw her figure in her big watery eyes.

Zhao Qiuyun immediately came back to his senses, knowing that he was rude, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager is polite, Zhao Qiuyun of the Zhao family!" ”

"Hehe, don't be polite, I saw you on the day of the imperial examination, I didn't expect Zhao Gongzi to come from a big family, but his kung fu is so good!" Li Siqi said with a smile.

"Hahaha!" Seeing that the two were chatting well, the king of Zhenbei immediately mended the knife: "Qiuyun, take the queen daughter to the backyard garden for a walk, and this king and the royal brother should also have a good reminiscence!" ”

"Yes, uncle!"

Zhao Qiuyun's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he immediately arched his hand towards the door: "Your Highness, let's go to the garden for a walk, I heard that the garden of the Zhenbei Wangfu is full of flowers, and it is very beautiful!" ”

"Good!" Li Siqi bowed slightly, and whispered to Emperor Xia: "Father, I'll go out for a walk!" ”

"Good!" Emperor Xia went with the flow and opened his mouth to answer.

...

(This Zhao Qiuyun is one of the protagonist's suitors, that's all, there will be several more suitors in the future!) ）
