Ximen Zhan Ying hesitated, only took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Long Tai, and arched his hand: "Shengshang, Zhan Ying won by luck, and please think twice about the marriage." ”

Long Tai smiled on his lips and asked: "Ximen Zhan Ying, I have a word first, if you are defeated, I will immediately issue a decree to marry you to the prince of Qi State." Now that you have won, I naturally have to keep my promise, and it is up to you to decide whether you want to marry in the Qi country. He raised his hand to Duan Shao and asked, "Then are you going to Qi Country?" ”

Ximen Zhan Ying said: "Back to the saint, if Zhan Ying can't keep the oath he made back then, he will not keep his word. ”

Long Tai bowed slightly, but Duan Shao had already smiled and arched his hand to Long Tai: "Lord, since Miss Ximen has won, Duan Shao naturally can't be strong." ”

"Duan Shao, since you have asked me for marriage, I will naturally have to consider the alliance between the two countries." Long Tai asked, "In addition to Ximen Zhan Sakura, can there be another candidate?" ”

Duan Shao said respectfully: "Duan Shao hasn't thought about anyone else. ”

"I've thought about you." Long Tai said: "There is no princess in the royal family who can go to the Qi Kingdom, so I thought about it, and I can choose a good mate for you from the family of the hereditary marquis." Glancing, his eyes fell on Su Yu, and said, "Su Aiqing!" ”

Su Yu hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "The minister is here!" ”

"As far as I know, you still have a daughter under your knees, and she is at the age of leaving the cabinet." Long Tai's expression was solemn: "I want to marry her to the prince of Qi State, what is your opinion?" ”

Su Yu was stunned, and even the other ministers were also stunned.

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, but immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The marriage given by the Holy Lord is the glory of the Su family in my martial township, the emperor's grace is vast, and the ministers dare not disobey!" ”

Long Tai bowed his head slightly, and said to Duan Shao: "Duan Shao, the daughter of the Marquis of Wuxiang is of noble birth and noble character, and she is also the age when she is out of the cabinet, but I don't know what you think?" ”

Duan Shao was also a little surprised, but Qi Ning was already on the side: "Your Highness, Miss Wuxiang Hou has a delicate appearance, a gentle temperament, and is knowledgeable, she is really a good girl who is one in a thousand." His Royal Highness asked the emperor to give him a marriage, which was also for the alliance between the two countries to last forever, and having Miss Su become the crown princess of Qi will inevitably make the two countries friendly for generations. ”

Ximen Zhanying was afraid of marrying into the Qi Kingdom, but Su Yu had a different mind.

The four hereditary generations of the empire, the Sima family is now at its peak, and although the people of the Golden Dao Tangtai are low-key, but the Manchu Dynasty civil and military personnel all know the strength of the Golden Dao Tai, even if it is the Jinyi Qi family, although there is a possibility of decay after Qi Jing's death, but Qi Ning suddenly emerged, and won the emperor's respect, and presided over the reconstruction of the Black Scale Battalion, although it is not far from catching up with the scenery of the heyday of the Qi family, but no one in the Manchu Dynasty dares to underestimate the Qi family.

Only the Su family has been declining since the death of the old marquis of Wuxiang.

The old marquis was also a famous general of the Chu State back then, and there was naturally no shortage of strong generals under his command, but it was a pity that Su Yu had no talent, and he only knew that he was drunk and drunk, and he couldn't keep the original power of the Su family, and the forces under the command of the old marquis of Wuxiang were gradually dissolved by other forces.

The Su family is now just suffering from the shadow of their ancestors, relying on the fief to live a rich life, and their strength in the court is already very small.

Su Yu knew this, when the two old marquis married to a baby family, Su Yu was counting on relying on the Qi family to maintain his position in the court, but Qi Jing's death made him feel that it was impossible for a foolish Jinyi family to take on the responsibility of maintaining the Jinyi Qi family, after all, it was a rapid decline, and because of this, he was extremely resolute in breaking off the family affairs between the two families.

For him, relying on Su Zixuan's relatives to climb to a stronger strength is an important means for the Wuxiang Su family to continue to exist.

Longtai suddenly wanted to marry Su Zixuan to the prince of Eastern Qi, Su Yu was surprised, and his heart was immediately ecstatic.

Duan Shao had already told Longtai that once he married from Chu and returned to Qi, he would immediately be canonized as the crown princess, in other words, he would be the queen of Eastern Qi in the future.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for the Su family, which is in the midst of the river.

As soon as this family business is successful, the Su family will become an important link between the two countries of Qi and Chu, and the status of the Su family in the Chu State will naturally rise.

At the moment, he was afraid that Duan Xuan would not agree, and when he saw what Qi Ning said on the side, although he heard a slight hint of ridicule, he felt that it was not a bad thing for Qi Ning to say a few kind words at this time.

Duan Shao didn't answer, and Long Tai had already smiled and said, "If the monarch of Qi knows about this family matter, he must also approve of it, right?" ”

Duan Shao groaned slightly, finally turned around, faced Long Tai, and arched his hand: "Duan Shao thanked the Lord for the marriage!" ”

Longtai smiled: "That's very good. Lang said: "Spread my will, give the daughter of the Marquis of Wu to the prince of Qi as his wife, so as to form a generational alliance between the two countries!" ”

Su Yu showed excitement and knelt on the ground: "Thank you Emperor Longen!" ”

"Marquis Wuxiang, after my wedding, the prince of Qi will return to Qi." Long Tai said solemnly: "There is still some time, you should prepare for this matter immediately." He also said to Yuan Laoshangshu of the Ministry of Rites: "Yuan Laoshangshu, although the time is in a hurry, but the Marquis of Wuxiang marrying a daughter in Qi is also a major event between Qi and Chu, and your Ministry of Rites must also prepare quickly." ”

Su Zixuan married Dongqi far away, so naturally she couldn't talk about it on the same day as the emperor's wedding, Yuan Laoshangshu bowed down and said: "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

Ximen Zhan Ying has been kneeling on one knee not far in front of Longtai, and only then did he say: "Your Majesty, Zhan Ying retires!" ”

"Wait a minute." Qi Ning suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, Miss Ximen is good at martial arts, and the minister is itchy for a while, so I just took this opportunity to ask Miss Ximen for a few tricks and ask the emperor for permission." ”

The ministers never expected Qi Ning to come out like this, and they were even more surprised, and the ministers looked at each other, even Ximen Wuxian seemed to be a little surprised.

Ximen Zhan Ying was already about to retreat, but when he heard Qi Ning's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood something, his cheeks turned red, he lowered his head, and bit his lip.

Longtai knew it and was funny, what happened today, others didn't know, but Longtai knew that it must have been arranged by Qi Ning.

At this time, Qi Ning suddenly proposed to compete with Ximen Zhan Ying, he naturally understood what the purpose was, before he was ready to marry Ximen Zhan Ying to Qi Ning, at this time he deliberately cooperated with Qi Ning to act, and smiled very tacitly: "Jinyi Hou, you want to learn martial arts with Ximen Zhan Ying?" ”

"Not bad." Qi Ning said loudly: "Actually, when the minister went to Xichuan not long ago, he saw that Miss Ximen's martial arts were not bad, so he told Miss Ximen to find an opportunity to learn from her, and today is just the opportunity, so I beg the emperor for permission." ”

Longtai let out an "oh" and asked Ximen Zhan Ying: "Ximen Zhan Ying, Jin Yihou said that he had an appointment with you, but is there such a thing?" ”

Ximen Zhan Ying thought to himself when I had made an appointment with you to compete in martial arts, but at this time, how could I say no, and said stubbornly: "Back to the saint, the brocade clothes are waiting...... Jin Yihou did say it. ”

"Jin Yihou, when you made an agreement with Ximen Zhan Ying, you knew the oath that Ximen Zhan Ying had made." Long Tai pretended to be serious and said: "If you compete in martial arts, you will defeat her, but you will marry her." ”

"Your Majesty ......!" Ximen Zhan Sakura only felt a fever in his cheeks: "Also..... It's not all .......! ”

"Oh, yes, I remember two conditions." Long Tai said with a smile: "In addition to defeating you in martial arts, you also want to be able to look at it." He pointed at Qi Ning and said, "Ximen Zhan Ying, I ask you, can you look down on Jinyi?" ”

The ministers all felt incredible, and no one thought that things would develop like this.

Ximen Zhan Ying was a little annoyed in his heart, and secretly thought that even if Qi Ning really wanted to marry him, he shouldn't be in front of so many ministers, which was really embarrassing, and it was not easy to answer at this time, so he just lowered his head.

Duan Shao was also stunned on the side, and then frowned, with a hint of discoloration in his eyes.

"Qi Ning, I ask you, you are going to compete with Ximen Zhan Sakura now, have you ever thought about marrying her?" Longtai is young, but he looks old and serious.

But I suddenly heard a person next to him laugh and said: "Your Majesty, Jinyi Hou wants to learn from Miss Ximen, maybe he just wants to learn martial arts, but he doesn't have to marry Miss Ximen." Otherwise, no one who wins against Simon will marry her. Everyone looked over, but it was the king of Huainan who had never spoken.

Qi Ning said with a smile: "Lord Wang, in fact, I have reached the age of marriage. The emperor is about to get married, and the prince of Qi is also going to marry Miss Su, so ..... So if Miss Simon really looks down on me, I'm ......! He deliberately smiled shyly and didn't continue.

King Huainan laughed dryly twice and said no more.

Longtai asked Ximen Wuxian and said, "Ximen Aiqing, you also heard what Jinyi Hou said, what do you think?" ”

Ximen Wuxian arched his hand and said: "Back to the saint, the minister promised the little girl back then, as long as it is the person she fancies, and the martial arts are better than her, the minister will not obstruct it." And Jinyi is young and promising, both civil and military, as long as the little girl is willing, the minister is naturally happy to see it. ”

"It seems that everything still depends on the meaning of Ximen Zhan Sakura." Long Tai smiled and said: "Ximen Zhan Ying, Jinyihou wants to marry you, and your father has no objection, if you are willing, you can try to compete with Jinyihou now." If the brocade is defeated in your hands, this family business will naturally be stopped, if he really defeats you, I will immediately give a decree to give marriage, are you willing? ”

How dare Ximen Zhan Ying raise her head at this time, she only felt that countless pairs of eyes around her seemed to be staring at her, and her pretty face was like a flame, crimson, biting her lip, and said a little vaguely: "He..... He wanted to compete, and I ..... I'm not afraid of him, I'm going to fight ..... If you want to fight, you can fight ......! ”

Long Tai saw it in his eyes, and his heart was even more funny, but he still said seriously: "Jinyihou, Ximen Zhan Ying accepts your challenge to the competition, I want to see how hard you are doing, whether you can let me give you marriage, it depends on your own ability." ”

Qi Ning strode towards Ximen Zhan Ying, looked at the red-makeup beauty with a shy face, and secretly thought that I want to marry you, so that all the ministers of the court and the central government can see it with their own eyes, stopped three steps away, and said with a smile: "Ximen girl, be merciful later, but don't be too fierce." ”

Ximen Zhanying looked up and saw Qi Ning looking at him with a smile, but the bad smile made Ximen Zhanying's heart move, and he bit his lip before saying: "If you don't have the ability, don't fight, I won't show mercy when I fight." ”

"By the way, you just had a fight, do you want to rest?" Qi Ning smiled: "I don't take advantage of people. ”

Ximen Zhan Sakura thought to himself that you were taking advantage of me, so he slashed and said, "I don't need to rest when I fight with you." With a little step, he had already swung his knife and slashed at Qi Ning.
