Chapter 131: Letters and Replies
On the second day of Qin Zhi's departure, Zhao Huaiyan received a letter from Chu Chaohuan, and when she received the messenger letter, she knew that it was sent by Chu Chaohuan, Zhao Huaiyan was very surprised, and when she opened the letter and read the content of the letter, she became more and more surprised.
Chu Chaohuan wrote in the letter, "I know that you don't want to see my letter, and probably don't want to see my people, and I'm the same, but for Yan Chi, I still have to write this letter, about your marriage with Yan Chi, I don't think you should shirk it like this, after all, it's not your business alone, you can let you mess around, this is a matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the stakes are great, as the emperor of a country, you should know better than me, if you really don't marry because of my reasons, then I don't mind going to Zhao State, In front of the royal family of Zhao State, the ministers of Zhao State and the entire people of Zhao State, I make amends to you, the emperor, I love Yan Chi, far longer than you, I know and intersect with him, and I am far longer than you, you snatch love halfway, I don't pursue it, the matter of sealing the concubine has nothing to do with Yan Chi, as an emperor, he can't help himself in many things, if you blame this matter, blame me, don't bother Yan Chi, if you don't marry, make it clear as soon as possible, don't hang people, seek welfare for your Zhao country, I despise such means the most, I hope you don't let me really put you in the position of contempt, and let Yan Chi despise you too. ”
In the middle, it's a bit aggressive.
The people behind were much gentler, and euphemistically expressed that these words were what she really thought, if Zhao Huaiyan was weird, then she couldn't help it, if she wanted to send this letter to Yan Chi, Chu Chaohuan was not afraid.
In short, the content of the letter is not very good.
However, when Zhao Huaiyan read the letter, he pulled the corners of his lips and smiled.
She called Qu Zhao over, showed her the letter, and asked Zhao Xue and Lan Wu to read it too.
After reading the letter, the three of them looked at Zhao Huaiyan with stunned eyes, and Qu Zhao said, "Your Majesty, this Princess Chu is really outspoken!" ”
Zhao Xue snorted, "What do you mean by snatching love with a horizontal sword?" If she really has true love with Emperor Yan, how can the emperor win it? This is really shameless and skinless! ”
Lan Wu said with a smile, "The content of the letter is a bit angry, but judging from the letter itself, the current Yan Kingdom and the royal family of Yan Kingdom are probably heartbroken for this marriage." ”
She folded the letter and asked Zhao Huaiyan, "Does the princess want to keep this letter?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan propped his forehead and cocked one leg, "Keep it, maybe you can take it out and threaten Princess Chu in the future." ”
Lan Wu raised her eyebrows, not understanding.
Zhao Xue and Qu Zhao glanced at each other, as if they didn't understand anything.
Lan Wu heard Zhao Huaiyan say to stay, so she put it away properly and put it in the letterbox.
Qu Zhao asked, "Does the emperor want to reply?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan touched his chin, "I don't want to go back, but I can make a statement." ”
Qu Zhao asked, "Expressing your stance to Princess Chu?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan said, "Of course, it's not for her, but for Yan Guo, lest Yan Guo really think I'm taking Qiao." ”
After she finished speaking, she asked Xue Xue to study ink for her.
After studying the ink, she lifted the wolf's hair, spread out the rice paper, and wrote a reply.
This reply letter was addressed to Duan Dongli, the left envoy of the Yan State.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't reply to Yan Chi, didn't reply to Chu Chaohuan, and wrote to Duan Dongli, which really made Zhaoxue, Lan Wu and Qu Zhao very incomprehensible.
However, Zhao Huaiyan did not explain to them.
After writing a letter, let Qu Zhao send someone to deliver it.
When the letter was delivered to Duan Dongli, he was not in the palace, today he rested and went to find Duan Langhuan, and the two sisters and brothers got together, and the occasion of the gathering was in Pingfu.
Ping Shuzheng is still in Chen State, but Ping Zhongcheng is at home, and there is also the old prime minister Ping Ruqin, including the eldest daughter-in-law of Ping Mansion, as well as the eldest granddaughter Ping Xiangyun and the second grandson Ping Yufu.
Although there is no flat book, it does not affect the happy gathering of the family.
Duan Dongli was chatting with Duan Langhuan, talking about Zhuo Ling's matter, and the housekeeper of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion came and handed him a letter.
Duan Dongli asked about the source of the letter, and the housekeeper said that Zhao Guo sent it.
Duan Dongli sighed, took the letter, glanced at Duan Langhuan, and then at Ping Ruqin, waved his hand, and asked the housekeeper to retreat.
Duan Langhuan took the letter from Duan Dongli's hand, flipped it back and forth, and guessed, "The person who can write to you at this time is still from Zhao Guo, it should be Yan'er, right?" ”
Duan Dongli responded, "I guess it's also her, but I don't know what Emperor Zhao did when he suddenly wrote to me." ”
Duan Langhuan returned the letter to him and asked him to open it.
Duan Dongli took it and demolished it.
I opened it, took out the letter, and opened it to see.
After reading it, he raised his eyebrows again, and handed the letter to Ping Ruqin with a smile.
Ping Ruqin glanced at him and took the letter.
After reading it, I also smiled.
He handed the letter to Duan Langhuan again and let Duan Langhuan read it.
After Duan Langhuan finished reading it, she also pursed her lips and smiled.
She pressed the letter lightly and said with a smile, "Yan'er ascended the throne as the emperor, and her scheming became deeper and deeper, and this letter was really impeccable." ”
Ping Ruqin stroked her gray beard and smiled, "Yes, my father has never been in contact with this Emperor Zhao, but it is really not easy to have such a level at a young age." ”
Duan Dongli put the letter away and put it in his sleeve pocket.
Duan Langhuan asked, "Do you want to show it to the emperor?" ”
Duan Dongli said, "Yes, wait until you have lunch before entering the palace." He turned his head to look at Ping Ruqin again, "The old prime minister thinks that the emperor will react when he reads this letter?" ”
Ping Ruqin shook her head, "People are old, not a stubble person, I can't guess it, if it was the first emperor, I can still guess one or two, but the new emperor, I really can't guess." ”
Duan Dongli didn't ask, it was a matter of the two countries, and the old prime minister could actually see it, but he believed that the emperor would have his own thoughts and decisions.
Duan Dongli sat with them for a while, had lunch, and went into the palace to find Yan Chi.
Duan Dongli handed the letter to Yan Chi, saying that it was sent by Zhao Huaiyan.
Yan Chi was stunned for a moment, and he was reviewing the folded hand, he raised his eyes suddenly, looked at Duan Dongli, and asked uncertainly, "The letter written by Yan'er?" ”
Duan Dongli nodded, "Yes." ”
Yan Chi was puzzled, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, "How could she write to you?" ”
Duan Dongli saw that the emperor was going to eat his jealousy, and before the emperor changed his face, he hurriedly explained, "The emperor will know when he sees it." ”
Of course, Yan Chi has to watch it, and he has to look carefully.
He snorted and asked Yuanxing to present the letter.
When the letter was in his hands, he squinted, but opened it.
The content of the letter is not much, only a few words, neatly written, the front is a greeting, the back is the main topic, although it is the main topic, but it is not very directly expressed, but in the language of the diplomatic relations between the two countries, to explain the matter.
But in this way, you can see Zhao Huaiyan's attitude and her attitude towards this marriage.
did not write to him, the emperor, but to the prime minister.
The implications are worth considering.
In particular, the content of the letter is also worth scrutinizing.
The letter wrote, "I have just ascended the throne, a lot of things have not been sorted out, I wanted to write a letter to the right minister earlier, I really can't spare time, now I have heard a lot of rumors about the marriage contract between me and Emperor Yan, I feel that I have to communicate with the right minister, so as not to cause a gap between the two countries, about the marriage, I have agreed to Emperor Yan, I will never regret it, the right minister is the head of the hundred officials of the Yan country, and I am also my former mentor and friend, now I really have a headache, I want to ask the right minister, on the marriage of Yan and Zhao, where should I be in Zhao country, where should Yan country be? ”
Zhao Huaiyan's letter was addressed to Duan Dongli, not Yan Chi.
That's where her shrewdness comes in.
If it was written directly to Yan Chi, it would be a bit of a request, but this letter was written to Duan Dongli, and it was just a simple inquiry.
After reading the last two questions, Yan Chi's thin lips pursed slightly, where should Zhao Guo be? Where should Yan Guo be? It turned out that this was what she cared about.
Yan Chi didn't think about this problem, but he didn't take this question seriously.
Whether Zhao Huaiyan is a princess or an emperor, he will keep everything she wants to keep, whether it is her emperor's throne, or the rivers and mountains of Zhao and the people.
Yes, the kings of the two countries become relatives, and the rivers and people are indeed the biggest problem.
Which country belongs to whom?
It is impossible for the Yan State to return to Zhao, and it is impossible for the Zhao State to return to Yan.
Yan Chi will not plunder the country and territory of Zhao State, so he can only govern together.
And the children of their descendants, Yan Chi has long thought about it, the first son is surnamed Yan, and the second son is surnamed Zhao, one is the prince of Yan and the other is the prince of Zhao, he will not embarrass Zhao Huaiyan, let alone let her lose everything because she married him.
She was his wife, the queen of Yan and the king of Zhao.
Yan Chi put down the letter and rubbed his eyebrows, he didn't tell Zhao Huaiyan about this, it was because he thought she would understand, but in fact, she didn't trust him and didn't marry him because she valued Zhao Guo much more than him, and she didn't think about everything he envisioned for her.
Is it because she thinks it's impossible, or is it because she feels in her heart that he, like his father, is a person who values the country more than love?
has Yan Xingzhou's criminal record, as well as Zhao Xian's misunderstanding of Yan Xingzhou, Yan Chi dares to pack tickets, Zhao Huaiyan thinks of him like this!
Yan Chi frowned slightly, pinching the letter, his heart was cold.
He put the letter down and continued to pick up the pen with a blank face to read the folds.
Duan Dongli scratched his hair, glanced at Yan Chi's face, and thought that the emperor was angry? That's weird!
Duan Dongli took a step forward and shouted at Yan Chi, "Your Majesty." ”
Yan Chi didn't raise his head, but only hummed without any emotion.
Duan Dongli asked, "What does the emperor think of this letter?" ”
Yan Chi's pen was slightly paused, staring at the dark pen and ink in the recital, the corners of his mouth were hooked, probably not in a good mood, there was a trace of irritability in his voice, but he didn't get angry at Duan Dongli, only his voice was slightly cold, "It's a letter written by Emperor Zhao to the right minister, the right minister will reply by himself, I am still busy, and the right minister will retreat first." ”
Duan Dongli choked, and his face changed instantly.
He didn't dare to say anything more, took the letter from Yuan Xing's hand, turned around and left.
Waiting for Duan Dongli to leave, Yan Chi raised his hand and shook the Zhu Pen, the Zhu Pen was red, and it was vigorously thrown out, and it was smashed straight to the golden dragon pillar in a parabolic trend, dripping with red juice all the way, and after hitting the dragon pillar, it fell straight to the ground, staining the carpet with a small circle of red.
Yan Chi didn't look at the pen, and only leaned behind the dragon chair.
Yuan Xing's eyes rolled slightly, looked at the pen that was pitifully abandoned by the master, thought about it, didn't pick it up, but asked in a low voice, "The emperor is angry?" ”
Yan Chi raised his eyes and glared at him.
Yuan Xing coughed lightly, "Could it be that Emperor Zhao wants to ruin the marriage?" ”
Yan Chi snorted coldly, "She dares." ”
Yuan Xing chuckled, "Then what is the emperor angry about?" Emperor Zhao is not ruining the marriage, the emperor has nothing to be angry about, there is nothing that the emperor can't solve. ”
Yan Chi couldn't tell Yuan Xing, he was angry, he was angry that Zhao Huaiyan didn't trust him, she didn't think that he would be her dependent, and he could give her enough protection and respect.
Yan Chi squinted, pointed his finger on the armrest of the dragon chair, and after a while, stood up with a calm face.
He walked out of the imperial study and stood on the high stone steps, looking in the direction of Zhao Guo from afar.
About half an hour later, he turned around again, returned to the imperial study, and asked Yuan Xing to call Duan Dongli, Zhu Xuanguang, Zeng Yan, and several other ministers in the court.
Closed the door, not knowing what was said.
When it came out, the expressions on everyone's faces were really indescribable.
In the evening, Duan Dongli's reply was sent, and the next afternoon, before Shen Shi, the envoy arrived at the palace of Zhao and handed the letter to Zhao Huaiyan.
Zhao Huaiyan unfolded the letter.
The letter replied, "Emperor Zhao is worried, my ministers of Yan State and the emperor can understand, but Emperor Zhao is really worried, the return of the country is the land of the people, as long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, I Yan and Zhao will divide each other?" ”
After reading the letter, Zhao Huaiyan thought about it for a long time with his forehead, smiled faintly, and put the letter aside and did not reply to the letter.
In the evening, she went to Zhao Xian first, and had dinner with Zhao Xian, Yan Xingzhou, Zhou Beizhi and Jin Ping, and then went back to the palace to rest.
Still called Xue and Lan Wu to serve her, Qu Zhao went outside the palace to see Changhong.
Changhong has shown his arms, the weather is getting colder, fortunately, Zhao is located in the south, like spring all year round, not afraid of cold, affecting children.
Qu Zhao went to the Eagle Mansion in the afternoon, stayed for a long time, and was originally going back to the palace in the evening, but was warmly left by Ying Liu and Changhong to eat, and she didn't be polite to them, so she stayed.
But while eating, I unexpectedly met an uninvited guest!
Who?
Yuanxing!
Yuan Xing suddenly appeared outside the door of Eagle Liu's mansion and knocked on the door, as the housekeeper in the Eagle Mansion, this housekeeper was drawn out of the golden spy network, his name was Zhang Shu, and when he saw Yuan Xing, his eyes were stunned.
Before Changhong married Ying Liu, Yuanxing was left by Yan Chi and lived in Zhao as Changhong's family.
But after Changhong and Ying Liu became married, Yuanxing returned to Yan Kingdom.
This sudden appearance really made Zhang Shu not react for a while, and when he reacted, he hurriedly and enthusiastically beckoned Yuanxing in, and sent someone to inform Yingliu in a hurry.
In the end, Yingliu, Changhong and Qu Zhao all came out.
Seeing Yuanxing, Ying Liu, Changhong and Qu Zhao were all surprised, Ying Liu asked when Yuan Xing came to Yan Kingdom, why did he suddenly come to Yan Kingdom, what happened and so on.
Yuanxing said that it was okay, and after glancing at Changhong's slightly bulging belly, he still said hello and gave a gift.
Eagle Six was really puzzled.
So is Changhong.
Qu Zhao crossed his arms and looked at Yuan Xing, and asked in a very skeptical tone, "You came alone?" ”
Yuan Xing glanced at her and said with a smile, "No, I came with the emperor." ”
Qu Zhao was shocked, "What? Emperor Yan? ”
Yuan Xing said, "Yes." ”
He took his hands behind his back and walked into the courtyard.
Qu Zhao flew over in one step and blocked him, "Emperor Yan is here in Zhao Kingdom?" ”
Yuan Xing nodded, "Well, it should be in Emperor Zhao's dormitory now, I'm so tired, I came all the way, the emperor knew that Changhong was pregnant, so let me come to the Eagle Mansion first, and he will come later." ”
Qu Zhao didn't care about anything else at the moment, and hurried to go back to the palace, but Yuan Xing pulled his sleeve, although he just pulled it gently, Qu Zhao couldn't break it no matter how he earned it.
She shouted angrily, "Let go! ”
Yuan Xing said with a smile, "Qu guard, my emperor wants to say something to Emperor Zhao, it's better not to bother, you don't know the situation in Yan Kingdom, now you are busy inside and out, but the emperor is taking time out of his busy schedule to come to Zhao Kingdom, just because this matter is very important today, uh, have you eaten?" I haven't eaten yet, so let's have a drink? ”
Qu Zhao glared at him.
Eagle Six came over to play the round, "Since Emperor Yan is here in person, this matter must be really important, so let's not interfere." ”
He patted Qu Zhao on the shoulder.
Qu Zhao's anger dissipated a little, she asked Yuan Xing to let go, Yuan Xing shrugged his shoulders and let go.
Qu Zhao slapped his sleeve hard.
Yuan Xing smiled, unimpressed.
Ying Liu beckoned Yuanxing to the dining hall, and the four of them sat down to eat again, Changhong was pregnant and couldn't drink, so the three of them came and went.
On the other side, Zhao Huaiyan had just rested, Zhao Xue and Lan Wu did not leave, and a large number of palace maids and eunuchs were guarding the door, and the Praetorian Guards led by Feng Yan were also patrolling around the emperor's bedroom, two dragon candles were extinguished, and one was faintly lit at the end of the dragon bed.
The yellow gauze and yellow tent fell, and as soon as Zhao Huaiyan closed his eyes, the yellow gauze and yellow tent were suddenly picked up by a pair of big hands with distinct bones.
The Imperial Palace, where no fly could fly, entered a person silently.
Zhao Huaiyan was immediately shocked, she didn't see who was coming when she opened her eyes, she first attacked with a secret palm, her palm wind is not strong, and she has not learned a special palm technique, except for the ethereal palm carried by the too void spirit finger, so this palm wind, if it is really real, it is really powerful.
In the dim dragon bed, the man's head tilted, dodging the powerful little hand, and then he laughed lowly, he turned his backhand, and pinched the little hand that wanted to retract from behind him and give him another palm, and the whole tall body was as strong as a shadow.
For a moment, the familiar atmosphere was overwhelming.
Zhao Huaiyan was stunned, "Yan Chi? ”
Yan Chi chuckled, grabbed her lips accurately in the dark dragon bed, pried it open, and kissed it.
Zhao Huaiyan stretched out his hand to hit him, and he fixed his hands and kissed until he was suffocated.
When the kiss was over, Yan Chi also hugged Zhao Huaiyan with the quilt, he kissed her cheek, got up and took off his shoes, took off his clothes, went to bed, lifted the quilt, and fell asleep with Zhao Huaiyan in his arms.
Zhao Huaiyan was stunned, "Why are you here?" ”
Yan Chi hugged her, only feeling that the fragrant fragrance was spreading her nose, and sleepiness was coming to the sea, in fact, with his ability, it was not a matter at all to go back and forth between Yan and Zhao overnight, at most, it would consume physical strength and internal strength, and it would be more exhausting, but there would be no sleepiness like this.
Probably because he has been really busy recently, he has stayed up almost day and night, she is not around, he feels that there is no difference between sleeping and not sleeping, but as soon as he holds her, feels her softness, and smells the fragrance on her body, he just wants to sleep.
He sighed, leaned in and kissed her on the lips, and circled her so tightly that her whole body fell into his arms like a kangaroo, and was enveloped by his whole chest.
He kissed her very comfortably, then pressed her head so that her little head rested on his chest, and he rested on her pillow with the tip of his nose against her cheek and fell asleep.
Zhao Huaiyan poked his chest with his fingers, "Ask you!" ”
Yan Chi whispered, "Let me sleep for a while." ”
Zhao Huaiyan was angry, "You came all the way to me to doze off?" ”
Yan Chi heard her say this, pure laughter overflowed from his throat, he opened his eyes slightly, and reluctantly looked at Zhao Huaiyan's face in the dim night, reached out and touched it, and lowered his head to kiss uncontrollably.
Zhao Huaiyan stretched out his hand to block it, Yan Chi didn't kiss her soft lips, and she didn't get angry, she kissed her palm for a while, and then said sleepily, "Come and talk to you about something." ”
Zhao Huaiyan thought of the letter she wrote to Duan Dongli, raised her beautiful eyebrows, and asked, "About marriage?" ”
Yan Chi whispered, "Hmm." ”
He didn't seem to want to say it now, he just wanted to sleep, and when Zhao Huaiyan opened his mouth to ask questions, he raised his index finger and pressed her lips, "If you talk like this again, I'm welcome, although I'm very sleepy now and want to sleep, but I want to kiss you even more." ”
Zhao Huaiyan blushed and scolded him for not being in shape.
He only laughed, kissed her forehead hard, and at the end, fixed her head and kissed her lips.
It seems that no amount of kisses can be kissed.
I haven't seen him for almost two months, and Yan Chi doesn't know how he has spent these days and nights since he left Zhao and returned to Yan Kingdom, as if he spent all these days and nights in the imperial study.
Thinking that she didn't understand his hard work, he unceremoniously put his hand into her clothes.
Zhao Guo's landscape is good, the climate is good, it is not cold at night, it is not hot at noon, Zhao Huaiyan does not wear thick clothes when he sleeps, occasionally he wears a complete underwear, occasionally it is a simple clothes, but today Zhao Huaiyan is wearing a jacket, Yan Chi probes his hands, and his hands are full of softness.
He sighed contentedly and took off his shirt with his backhand.
Zhao Huaiyan's pores stood up like thorns, and her face became redder and redder from the hot temperature, "You put on your clothes!" ”
Yan didn't wear it for a long time, so he hugged her so unabashedly.
The arms are getting tighter and tighter.
The voice became deeper and deeper, "It's not that I haven't slept like this, it's just one night, I'm going to leave before dawn, just squint for a while, don't move." ”
His breathing tightened suddenly, as Zhao Huaiyan turned his body and his ass was facing him.
God, it's torture.
He resigned himself to letting go of her, moved to the side, exhaled heavily, and said depressedly, "Don't hold you, let me sleep for a while." ”
This time, he just closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Zhao Huaiyan pursed his mouth, but didn't harass him anymore and let him sleep.
Yan Chi slept deeply, and the sound of light breathing was very even, but Zhao Huaiyan couldn't sleep, and looked at him sideways for a long time, although she couldn't see clearly, she only saw the general outline, she still looked at it for a long time, and then her neck twisted, so she lay on her back.
He rested early today, and there was still a long time before the time of the last court, which was enough for him to sleep for a long time.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't sleep, and when it was almost time for her to wake him up, she couldn't let him come out of her dormitory in broad daylight.
About two hours later, Yan Chi woke up.
