"So you mean to say that you, Young Master Shen, are going to marry Li Le'an? So I can only obey the arrangement of the imperial brother and marry the Northern Yan Dynasty? Ok, good, good! Shen Gui, the slave family has thanked you for your great kindness in advance! If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid that the slave family would have been burning dung and grazing sheep in the Mobei grassland by now; Now I, Yan Shuqing, can marry into the colorful and busy Yanjing City, and it all depends on Shen Gongzi's care! Your 'grace to reinvent the slave family' really makes the slave family unforgettable! In the future, the slave family will definitely be in that distant Zijin Palace, praying day and night that you and your wife can live a long and blessed life, and have a hundred sons and grandchildren! ”

Yan Shuqing, who calmed down, immediately made Shen Gui realize what the textbook-like 'yin and yang weirdness' is! Although Shen Gui doesn't like the way she speaks, after all, what people say is the truth, and she really has nothing to argue with. So he could only bite the bullet and tell Yan Shuqing the stakes in this affair......

However, those reasons that sound above board are no less than adding fuel to the fire for Yan Shuqing at this moment.

"Good, good! What a Youbei Pillar Stone, Zaifu's talent! Why didn't the slave family see it before! Shen Gongzi actually has a living bodhisattva heart! Of course, you and the Imperial Brother have very good ideas and reasons, but there is only one thing that seems to have been deliberately left behind by you......"

Shen Gui heard the change in color, and asked her very 'modestly':

"What?"

"Although my Yan Shuqing is the eldest princess of Youbei, it is true that she is also the people of Youbei! What you keep saying is for the sake of the overall situation of Youbei and for the sake of the poor people, but which of you has thought about me Yan Shuqing? Since ancient times, the Huayu Continent has been a male farmer and a female weaver; Now you men don't have the ability to 'support your family', but you want to 'pawn' a weak woman like me to 'pay off the debt' for you! It's really unthinkable, before the two of you brothers gained power, they did not hesitate to bear the felony of being a rival because the slave family was unwilling to marry Mobei; But now that you have gained power, you have to personally send me, a weak woman, to Beiyan to seek more benefits! What is the difference between your approach today and that of the former emperor and Yan Day? …… Oh no, it's the slave who said the wrong thing! You two brothers are indeed better than them! At least you'll ask me what I think before you 'sell' me! The slave family is here, and I have to thank the two for their grace! ”

Yan Shuqing's words directly smashed all the 'abdominal drafts' that Shen Gui had typed before! What else could he say? Even if there are thousands of reasons, they want to use Yan Shuqing, a weak woman, in exchange for a short period of peace with the Northern Yan Dynasty, that is also an ironclad fact!

After being silent for a long time, Shen Gui raised his head, looked at the library building in his courtyard, and muttered to himself:

"It seems that after reading a few more books, this woman is indeed not easy to deceive......"

Yan Shuqing, who was still sneering and yin and yang just now, instantly 'broke the gong' after hearing Shen Gui's 'big truth', and covered his small mouth and 'giggled'......

"Shen Gongzi...... The slave family doesn't care if you and the eldest lady of the Li family are married or not, and you are not allowed to marry the slave family to the fourth prince of Beiyan! As the so-called helping people to the end and sending Buddha to the west, since you have helped the slave family once, this time the slave family can only rely on you..."

People often say, 'A woman's face is like a June sky'; this Yan Shuqing just now accused Shen Gui and Yan Qinghong in a weird way; now after laughing, he grabbed Shen Gui's right hand and staggered and pretended to be pitiful......

Shen Gui also frowned when he heard this, and just wanted to say something to Yan Shuqing, but he was immediately 'stared' back by her pitiful gaze like a 'wounded young beast'......

However, even if Yan Shuqing didn't pretend to be pitiful, relying on her previous reprimand, Shen Gui's heart began to waver.

In fact, Shen Gui had already heard of the fourth prince of Beiyan; And in his mind, he also thinks that the prince who is most likely to inherit the throne of Beiyan is not the crown prince Zhou Changyong, who is in charge of the household department of Beiyan; On the contrary, it is the fourth prince - Zhou Chang'an, the king of Anping. Therefore, if everything can develop according to Shen Gui's prediction, then once Yan Shuqing successfully marries into the Anping Palace, then it is very likely that he will become the master of the harem of the Northern Yan Dynasty in the future, and the mother of the world!

As for the proviso conditions such as trade and mutual markets and the division of the Eastern Customs, Shen Gui didn't take it to heart at all! Because in his opinion, all the big pies that fall from the sky will be sandwiched with poison that kills people without exception; And this way of getting off the sleeve was originally a 'little trick' that he Shen Gui played badly.

As for saying that he will decide to marry Li Le'an immediately at this time, he also has a plan to 'swing a sword and cut the love thread'.

"You really don't want to get married?"

Shen Gui, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked with no head and no brain.

"Hmm!"

Yan Shuqing's voice was not only fast and crisp, but also mixed with some joy in his tone.

"If, I mean if...... Can I guarantee that after you get married, you can become the queen of the Northern Yan Dynasty? ”

"You just let me be the ancestor of their Zhou family, and I won't marry!"

"You're eighteen years old this year...... It's time to get out of the cabinet......"

"yes, yes! Then you don't want to marry Li Le'an! ”

“……”

Then there was an awkward silence. It wasn't until the sun was three poles up that Shen Gui slapped his thigh and said ruthlessly:

"It's okay not to marry, but you still have to go to that Yanjing City in person......"

"I'm not going to ......"

"Listen to me first! Strictly speaking, between us and Beiyan, we are still at war at this time, and the gate of the East Customs has not yet been closed at this moment. From the perspective of the Northern Yan people, the reason why they will 'secretly' ask us for marriage in Youbei is to preserve the face of their so-called 'great power in Shangbang'; if we directly refuse to propose peace with relatives, they may free up their hands at any time to wave the Northern Expedition under the annoyance and anger; Once this is the case, then with the current national strength of Youbei, it will definitely not be able to compete with the Northern Yan army......"

Shen Guiyi changed his tone, and instead began to talk about state affairs seriously with Yan Shuqing. With this kind of serious attitude, Princess Fengyang also fell into thought; After a long silence, she spoke again and asked:

"Then what changes can I bring to Yanjing City this time?"

"Silly girl, think about it! Emperor Tianyou pretended to use the mouth of the four princes to make peace with us; That is to say, on the bright side, we still have the last retreat between each other; If we want to refuse to be friendly now, the best way is to go to Yanjing City in person and negotiate with the other party in person. In this way, it not only shows the sincerity of our desire for peace in the three roads of Youbei; It can also allow you to see the four princes with your own eyes, if you can fancy ......"

Hearing this, Yan Shuqing immediately interrupted:

"I don't like it!"

"Okay, good, you can't see it! In this way, this trip to the Northern Yan Dynasty, I will personally accompany you to go there. As for me, I am the secret envoy sent by your royal brother to negotiate peace; As for you, just pretend to be my entourage......"

"But on what grounds should we refuse to be reconciled?"

"Isn't that easy? The first emperor has just died, you are the beloved daughter of the first emperor, and the three-year filial piety period has just begun, how can you talk about marriage! They Beiyan people attach great importance to etiquette, and for the prince's wedding, it must be much more troublesome than our Youbei; Besides, in three years' time, who knows what else will change? Moreover, the last time Mobei and Qin's affairs were in place, didn't we drag it over like this? ”

After hearing this, Yan Shuqing first showed joy, and then muttered with a low expression:

"Drag it over...... I don't know how long it will last......"

Yes, the youth of my daughter's family passed away in a hurry like a white horse......

At the same time, the door of the main house in the prime minister's mansion was pushed open; The eldest lady Li Le'an, who had just woken up, walked out of the door rubbing her confused eyes, but was stunned by the joyful arrangement in her eyes!

At this time, the men and women in the family were like busy ants, constantly rushing back and forth in the prime minister's mansion; And this elegant mansion with red walls and black tiles is now also dressed in red and hung everywhere, and it is very lively.

The new chief housekeeper, Shan Qingquan, was standing in the middle of the flower courtyard with one hand at this time, nagging and directing those subordinates...

“…… Shan Da Butler, your good things are coming? But I haven't thought of a way to heal your hidden wounds...... Whose girl is so unlucky? ”

Shan Qingquan didn't care about Li Le'an's teasing, but turned around and clasped his fists with both hands, and said to her with frowns:

"The person who is about to do good things is not my old single, but you, the eldest lady! Today, before leaving the house, the 'aunt' had already instructed me to send someone back to my hometown in the Great Wilderness City to take the Prime Minister back to Fengjing; ”

Li Le'an, who had just woken up, obviously couldn't fully accept such a huge amount of information; She looked at Shan Qingquan suspiciously, and then rubbed her little round face. On her face, instead of a trace of shyness or happiness, there was also a hint of indifference:

"Married? Who did he consult? ”

Shan Qingquan was also a little stunned when she asked this; However, after thinking about it, he thought of the letter that had turned into ashes, and then said to Li Le'an uncertainly:

"Maybe it's the letter left by the Prime Minister, right? Anyway, after reading the letter, that's what my aunt told me......"

Li Le'an tilted his head and looked at the bright sun in the sky, and then said in a flat tone:

"I see...... Uncle Shan, let people pick all these things. ”

"Why......?"

"Because even if Shen Gui and I want to get married, it shouldn't be the reason for that letter!"
