"How long will that take?" Xia Han stretched out three fingers: "About three months." The envoy who was about to get up fell back in disbelief: "How long?" "Three months." The envoy was immediately angry: "Why do you need three months? I don't think it's going to take three days, the prince is deliberately delaying time, what good is this for the prince? Could it be that the prince already has someone he likes, my princess of southern Xinjiang is virtuous and generous, it's not that one can't be tolerated. ”

The three of them were very surprised, and the envoy seemed to be in a hurry? Sandboarding said tentatively: "I don't know the princess of your country, Princess Baiyi, Fangling?" I feel like I'm a lot older than our prince? "Generally, wives are younger than their husbands, and it is too common for them to be one or two years younger, four or five years old, and there are seventeen or eighteen years younger, but I have never heard of any wife who is older than her husband. When the envoy heard this, he paid it back, wasn't this a refusal in a different way?

It is said that this trip should be very smooth, Southern Xinjiang is willing to marry Northern Yan, shouldn't they burn high incense and invite the old man in and celebrate happily? It's abnormal, it's too abnormal, and at this time, the woman came in with the tonic soup. Approaching Xia Han all the way, there was no sound at all, and the skirt did not wrinkle at all during the walk, which was better than a well-trained palace maid and a well-bred lady. at

Looking up, even the well-informed envoys had to praise her, what a beauty who came out of hibiscus, gentle and polite, and had a degree of advance and retreat. "Your Highness, this is today's tonic soup." The envoy was intoxicated and thought that this voice was clear and clear, and it was really good. When the sound of the door closing, the envoy woke up, and now he was more and more sure of his previous conjecture, and he must be a demon if he is abnormal, and he is a fox spirit.

When he thought that King Jiang had entrusted this important task to himself, he said, "This is a key part of the plan, please help this king achieve his wishes." There are two things on my trip, one is to let Princess Bai Yi smoothly get involved with Beiyan, and the other is to help Princess Kangjia choose a reliable husband in China. As the old saying goes, there are thirty-six strategies, and the easy ones to use are just a few tricks, and seeking cooperation is nothing more than coercion and temptation.

The envoy said with an understanding face: "Age is not a problem, the key is whether the two people have feelings after marriage, feelings can be cultivated, I believe that after the prince and the princess understand each other, they will like each other." Seeing that Xia Han still didn't say anything, he continued to make persistent efforts: "As long as the husband and wife are deeply affectionate in the future, the prince can take a concubine, and the married daughter will spill the water, and my king will not take care of the prince's family affairs." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, their eyes full of surprise, and they moved away without a trace, and lowered their heads to suppress the various emotions rolling in their eyes. Xia Xing sighed good guy, this is equivalent to ignoring Bai Yi, and even caring about his daughter's happiness, will King Jiang still have the heart to help Beiyan? The answer, of course, is no. A waste person with no use value, what does Beiyan want her to do? I'm afraid Baiyi is not as favored as he seems, right?

Matching a princess so far away is like 'out of sight and out of mind', it's like exile! Whose father would be so ruthless? Could it be that something is happening in southern Xinjiang? Oh, fortunately, I didn't rush to agree, and I knew that there was something wrong here. Sand Skier's eyes narrowed slightly, covering the light inside, and asked casually: "Your Excellency should know that Beiyan is a place in the extreme north, and the environment is harsh and bitterly cold, so King Jiang still wants Princess Baiyi to marry?" The princess has been pampered since she was a child, and I'm afraid she won't be able to endure hardship, right? Does the princess know about this? ”

The envoy arbitrarily said: "It doesn't matter if the princess knows or not, since ancient times, the parents ordered the matchmaker to say that this matter is done as long as the prince nods." At that time, the two countries will not only be able to marry Qin and Jin, but our lord Jiang Wang will give Princess Baiyi a rich dowry. "Dowry? Ridiculous, what am I Beiyan, coveting the bride's dowry? Xia Han clenched his fists, lowered his head and took a deep breath to suppress the anger rolling in his chest.

The envoy didn't know that he had inadvertently angered the three of them, and in his usual image of Beiyan being poor and weak, if someone could give something for nothing without asking for anything in return, he was not happy, so it was natural to show off his country's wealth with a little arrogance, thinking of luring the wealth to move people's hearts. But he unconsciously brought out his contempt for Beiyan, as if Beiyan had to beg him, so that Xia Han was even more disgusted with Baiyi.

Xia Xing showed great interest: "Oh, how rich? The envoy looked like he was in his chest, and looking at Xia Xing was like looking at a child in a poor country who had never seen the world. Stretching out a hand, a finger, and a finger bent back to count: "In addition to the routine gold, silver and jade, antique calligraphy and painting, and craftsmen and servants, there are also 10,000 horses of silk, silk, cotton and linen, 200 stones of various medicinal materials, and ...... grain."

After a deliberate pause, he looked at the expressions of the three of them before he was tempted: "As for the food issue, we can negotiate?" Jiang Wang is also very willing to meet the needs of Beiyan. This is not available to other princesses, only the princess enjoys it, and now the prince still thinks that those trivial things are a problem? ”

After saying that, I was already happy, and I thought that I can't hold the three of you, the old man has eaten more salt than you have walked, and you together are not worth the years of the old man's life.

Xia Han shook his head and said: "My lord misunderstood, this prince can't be the master himself, it's the so-called parents' orders and matchmakers' words." For three months, I also want to take a leave of absence to ask my father and queen mother's opinions. "This person didn't match the preface, and began to say that he admired the family style of the royal family of Beiyan in the past dynasties and did not accept concubines, so he promised me the noble princess, but now he said that he would take concubines with me and marry grain.

began to say that King Jiang loves his daughter, the princess has been pampered since she was a child, and she is unwilling to give three wives and four concubines. Isn't it really bitter for a woman to marry at will regardless of her wishes? Why did you give it up? There is also the bitter cold of the north, marrying in the past is a real suffering, and King Jiang doesn't care about it.

The bamboo leaves outside the window are rustling, and you come and go indoors. Xia Xing held the cup and stared at the tea leaves without blinking, occasionally blowing to watch the water waves swaying and the tea leaves swaying, and he didn't know who drove whom. Xia Xing doesn't like to drink tea very much, and she doesn't drink tea after dinner, but she just wants to have something in her hand to divert her thoughts, and she vaguely feels that Jiang Wang's move seems to be in a hurry to get rid of a big trouble, and he will throw a burden on Beiyan with a lot of money.

Generally, no one will make many big profits at the beginning, and they are afraid that they will not be able to collect it in the future, but the profits given by Southern Xinjiang this time are too great, just like that. Money and goods! Xia Xing was shocked by his thoughts, Southern Xinjiang is calculating Northern Yan, and the grain of Baiyi and Southern Xinjiang is like a twin, and Beiyan must leave Baiyi if he wants food.

But I am afraid that Baiyi is a cyst, if he accepts cysts for the sake of a small seed, then he will bury the granary of a country, and although he agrees to marry to get food for emergency relief, he will undoubtedly drink to quench his thirst, and he will never ignore the long-term for the sake of immediate interests. Xia Xinggang wanted to get up and refused to go sand skiing, but handed over a fresh peeled orange, and put a small piece of orange peel into her teacup in Xia Xing's surprised eyes.

Xia Xing's face immediately turned black, he was originally holding the cup in both hands, but because the orange that was broken turned into an orange in one hand and a teacup in the other, he couldn't protect his cup in the end. Sand Skating seemed to know what Xia Xing was thinking, and hurriedly said, "That orange peel is washed." After Xia Xing's face softened slightly, he said, "The princess knows that orange peel is also known as tangerine peel, which has the effect of burning fire, and the older the tangerine peel, the better the curative effect." And it tastes good, you can try it. ”

What does that mean, the older the year? Time? Yes, orange peel needs to be dried for a long time to become a medicinal herb. Are you trying to make me wait? Xia Xing pouted and muttered: "I also know that oranges are on fire, and the fruit is also on fire with its special flesh and peel." Then he looked at what he was holding in both hands, and was this a neutralization?

Lowered his head and sniffed the tea with orange peel exuded a faint fragrance, tasted it novelly, sour, ate the petal orange, not sweet, or the flesh was delicious. In this way, Xia Xing went to the fire and lost the fire at the same time. On the other side, Xia Han and the envoys were still pulling the three months of thinking time.

After hearing this, the envoy muttered: "This is also as it should be, the lower officials believe that Emperor Yuan and Empress Yuan will definitely want to see the prince start a family, and with the relationship between your father and son for many years, Emperor Yuan will be truly pleased with the wife chosen by the prince, so the prince can still make his own decision on this matter, after all, it is your own lifelong event." Again, even if you have to stay in China to get married, you can take this opportunity to return to China, prince. ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked to Xia Han's side, "It's been six years since I left Beiyan, right?" Prince, do you want to see what your homeland looks like now? Princess Baiyi is now twenty-seven years old, and she can get married at any time, as long as the prince responds to this matter today, and uses the princess's time in China to make her like you, it is best not to marry. When the lower officials bring the two princesses back to China, they will invite King Jiang, and then the marriage letter will go directly to Beiyan. ”

And slowly leaned over Xia Han's shoulder, "Naturally, your long-cherished wish for many years can be achieved, and you will return home with the goodwill of southern Xinjiang." At that time, you don't want to come back to Huaguo, my lord Jiang Wang is willing to reconcile in the middle, and after Huaguo and Southern Xinjiang have in-laws, Huaguo Beiyan will also become a friend, maybe Beiyan's food problem will be solved. And you are the hero of Beiyan, which only requires you to take this step today and enjoy it. ”

Xia Han looked at the envoy in a daze, so eloquent, but unfortunately he couldn't impress this prince, and he was embarrassed to hit you, if this prince is really looking forward to the benefits you said, it will save more trouble to directly give Xia Xing to a certain Ming prince, why do you need to go around a big circle to climb the brother-in-law relationship from southern Xinjiang?

I wasted my time listening to what you said, and I didn't hear anything I wanted to hear, and the condition for the marriage between the two countries was naturally to help each other, and you didn't even mention it? Do you really don't know or fake don't know, the union of Northern Yan and Huaguo is complementary, and the union of Southern Xinjiang and Huaguo can be mutually reinforcing, and in the eyes of Emperor Jing, Xia Xing of Northern Yan is more valuable than all the princesses in Southern Xinjiang combined. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to become a vassal of a country, why would Beiyan be like this?
