Zhao Mingyue's days of fasting and reciting Buddha do not seem to be peaceful, at first it was her mother, brother and sister-in-law who looked for a husband for her, and finally persuaded them to stop, and some ministers who had sons began to worry about it again, and asked people everywhere to give the queen mother and the emperor a little talk.

Of course, although these people are troublesome, they can finally get rid of it. What gives her a headache is that she can't get away these days.

That day, she was copying scriptures in the study, and a guard passed a famous post inside, and Zhao Mingyue instructed the sword to open it and take a look. Shi Jian frowned and said, "Princess, it's Duan Jinyan, he wants to see you." ”

Zhao Mingyue also frowned slightly: "Why did he come with him again?" ”

"Princess, what then, or I'll turn him down." Squire asked.

Zhao Mingyue nodded and said, "Okay, you go out in person and tell him that I am not feeling well and it is inconvenient to meet guests." ”

The servant sword took the order and went to the palace gate to salute Duan Jinyan, saying that the princess had been ill recently and it was inconvenient to meet guests, so he asked Prince Duan to forgive him.

Duan Jin was in a hurry and said, "Since the princess is in poor health, I have to go in and take a look." ”

Although the sword salute was thorough, his face was very cold, and he said coldly: "Prince Duan, that's what the princess ordered, and our subordinates can't do anything, please understand." ”

Duan Jinyan snorted twice and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll come back tomorrow, the princess will always heal one day." Then he departed.

The servant sword went back and told Zhao Mingyue about Duan's strict attitude, and Zhao Mingyue sighed: "This Duan prince is thick-skinned, and he can't shake it off if he gets contaminated, so it's better not to see it." ”

"Then if you don't see it, can he still break into the palace?" Shi Jian said angrily, she didn't have a good impression of Duan Jinyan. Of course, except for Ling Kun, the little girl has no good impression of anyone.

Zhao Mingyue pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, come back later, you don't need to inform me, just ask the guards to stop you." ”

Duan Jinyan returned to the inn and slapped the table angrily: "What is not feeling well, it is completely an excuse, Yan Shu said yesterday that she was fine in the palace." ”

Gao Zhongming persuaded on the side: "Then the princess and Ling Kun are fighting hotly, why should the master be uncomfortable, tell me to go, there are so many beauties in the world, why stare at her?" ”

"No, I, Duan Jinyan, have recognized Zhao Mingyue in this life, and she and Ling Kun have already broken off

It's a good opportunity for me, and I'm not going to give it up. ”

"What is the son going to do, will he go again tomorrow, if he goes again tomorrow, the result will be the same." Gao Zhongming spread his hands.

Duan Jinyan held his head in his hands and thought, but there was no foolproof plan at all.

At this time, Li Cangshan on the other side said: "Master, if you have to marry this princess, your subordinates will have an idea." ”

"Oh, tell me about it." Duan Jin said urgently.

"Let the emperor come forward and send a messenger to open the cover to see Zhao Heng and ask for peace, Zhao Heng is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and he must be very eager to form an alliance with us, so he will definitely agree."

Duan Jinyan frowned and said: "This method is good, it's just that Zhao Mingyue doesn't want to see me in the first place, so even if you marry back, you may not be happy." Actually, I mean that as long as I can see her, I have a way to make her feel genuine. ”

Gao Zhongming said: "It's better to be like this, I will go back to Dali to bring the letter of state, and the prince will personally hand it over to Zhao Heng, and at the same time propose to discuss the culture of the Great Song Dynasty with the princess, and Zhao Heng will not refuse, and then the master will have a chance." ”

Duan Jinyan stroked his palm and said: "This plan is very good, just do it, Gao Zhongming, you rush back to Dali immediately to bring the national letter, I will wait here." ”

Gao Zhongming received the order, rushed back to Dali in the starry night, and played the Ming Emperor Dali. The emperor of Dali never had the heart to expand outward, and he also wanted to make friends with a behemoth like the Great Song Dynasty, so he wrote a letter of state and handed it to Gao Zhongming.

A few days after Gao Zhongming left, Duan Jinyan still went to Wan'an Palace every day to ask to see the princess, but he was rejected every time, but he had patience.

On this day, Gao Zhongming returned, Duan Jinyan was overjoyed, and immediately went to the palace to ask to see the emperor.

Zhao Heng was embattled, when he heard that Dali came to submit his credentials, and it was the prince who came in person, he was overjoyed, and received Duan Jinyan with the most solemn etiquette, and arranged a state banquet to welcome him.

During the banquet, Duan Jinyan said: "Your Majesty, I have admired the culture of the Central Plains since I was a child, and this time I came to Kaifeng, and I saw that the Great Song Dynasty was prosperous and politically harmonious, which was far from being comparable to my small country in Dali." So I plan to live in Kaifeng for a period of time to learn the emperor's concept of governing the country. ”

Zhao Heng was overjoyed, and said modestly: "Prince Duan has won the award, as long as you are willing to live, you can live for as long as you want, I will arrange the best pavilion, the best."

Wizard. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Duan Jinyan stood up and bowed in thanks, and toasted Zhao Heng. After sitting down, he said: "Your Majesty, there is still one more thing to ask for below." ”

"Prince Duan said yes."

"I have an old acquaintance with the princess of your country, Zhao Mingyue, who once went to Sichuan from Xiangyang, and the princess's knowledge and demeanor make me very admired, if it is appropriate, I want to meet the princess and ask him about the essence of the Central Plains culture." Paragraph is strict with the wording of Ai Aidi.

Zhao Heng waved his hand and said: "What's so difficult about this, since you know each other when you leave, go directly to Wan'an Palace to find her." ”

"Hey, don't hide it from the emperor, I've been visiting for several days in a row, and the princess said that she was unwell and not suitable to meet guests." Duan Jinyan sighed.

Zhao Heng looked at Duan Jinyan and immediately understood. He has always wondered how Dali took the initiative to submit his credentials when he was in turmoil, it turned out that he wanted to see Mingyue being rejected, so he thought of this method.

He stared at Duan Jinyan, the prince of a country, dignified, elegant in conversation, and also a good young man, if it matches Mingyue, it is a good thing for the country and Mingyue.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter to the princess, I'm really worried about it." Duan Jinyan asked when he saw that Zhao Heng didn't speak.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, Mingyue hasn't been in a good mood lately, I'll persuade you tomorrow, how can Prince Duan give face." Zhao Heng said with a smile.

Duan Jinyan was overjoyed, thanked him for his kindness, and greeted Zhao Heng with joy.

The next day, Zhao Heng took the concubine Liu E to Wan'an Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, since Zhao Mingyue came back, the emperor came to Wan'an Palace more and more times, the mother and child filial piety, family happiness, for a while as a good story.

After greeting peace, the family sat together and chatted, during which Zhao Heng said: "Mingyue, I heard that the prince of Dali asked to see you several times, but you refused?" ”

Zhao Mingyue frowned and said, "Brother Huang, how do you know?" ”

Zhao Heng smiled and said, "He handed over his credentials to me in order to see you." ”

Zhao Mingyue raised his forehead and sighed: "He really does everything, but I just want to be quiet, I really don't want to see people." ”

Zhao Heng sighed: "Mingyue, you can't be willful in this matter, you still have to have the number of courtesies you should have, after all, he is the prince of Dali." ”
