Yan Chi held Zhao Huaiyan in his arms, kissed her hair affectionately, just after taking a bath, Yan Chi had already sent someone to find Zhu Xuanguang and Zhou Xiaochan, these two people didn't worry about Zhao Huaiyan getting lost, they played by themselves, until Qinghai found them, and said that Zhao Huaiyan was now in the Prince's Mansion, let them go to the Prince's Mansion to meet her after shopping, and the two of them were suddenly shocked.

Zhu Xuanguang blinked and said, "Why did you go to the Prince's Mansion?" ”

Qinghai Road, "I met the emperor halfway." ”

Zhou Xiaochan smiled, "Brother Yan Chi also came out to go shopping?" ”

Qinghai said, "Hmm. ”

Zhu Xuanguang silently smashed his tongue, "There are so many people today, even if the emperor really comes out, he may not be able to meet it, we haven't met it, why let her touch it." ”

Zhou Xiaochan quipped, "Fate." ”

Zhu Xuanguang glanced down at her.

Qinghai thought to himself, when Emperor Zhao met the emperor, the emperor was still dressed in disguise, this is not an ordinary fate.

found Zhu Xuanguang and Zhou Xiaochan, and informed them of the location where they met with Zhao Huaiyan, and Qinghai went back to his life.

Not long after, Zhu Xuanguang and Zhou Xiaochan came to the Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Huaiyan got dressed and got up, and glared at Yan Chi fiercely before leaving.

Yan Chi smiled and took her hand and walked out together.

Seeing the two of them appear, Zhu Xuan's eyes moved, Zhou Xiaochan glanced at Zhao Huaiyan with a smile, and then at Yan Chi, and stepped forward to say good New Year to Yan Chi.

Zhu Xuanguang was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and said a happy new year to Yan Chi.

They were no longer in Yan Country during the New Year, and this happy New Year can be regarded as an auspicious word for the New Year.

Yan Chi responded one by one, replied to them with a good New Year, and asked them if they still wanted to go shopping, Zhu Xuanguang and Zhou Xiaochan both said that they would not go shopping, and the time was not early, they had to send Zhao Huaiyan back, Yan Chi had to reluctantly let go of Zhao Huaiyan.

It was late, and Zhao Huaiyan didn't stay long, so he left directly.

Yan Chi looked at her back without looking back, and his heart was sweet and helpless, but when he thought that after the beginning of spring, he would be able to marry her, and he turned this helplessness into expectation.

After Zhao Huaiyan left, he also returned to the palace.

Before leaving, he left Qinghai behind, and asked him to find Yan Le, Yan Guangning, Lou Wei and Huadiao, and secretly protect Yan Le and Yan Guangning.

Qinghai responded, turned his head and plunged into the lively streets.

Yan Chi returned to the palace and began to be busy, especially after the new year, he became more and more busy, in addition to dealing with the affairs of his country, he also had to deal with the congratulatory notes sent by the royal families of various countries, as well as the celebrations in the land of Northern Yan.

Zhao Huaiyan has also been busy since she was a child, this busy until the New Year, but she has never seen Yan Chi again, the day before the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, she received a congratulatory gift from the Qin State.

When I took it apart, it was a painting.

is a very familiar technique, painting a picture of the rivers and mountains of the Qin State, and with the painting, there is also a letter.

After Zhao Huaiyan finished reading the content of the painting, she didn't need to read the letter to know who gave it to her, it was none other than Qin Zhi, the prince of Qin.

Zhao Huaiyan put the painting aside and opened the letter to look at it.

The letter reads, "Happy New Year, welcome to Qin as a guest, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I will have a banquet for a few members of the royal family in the Prince's Mansion, hoping that Emperor Zhao will also come." ”

The words were very straightforward, without beating around the bush, and without saying some pleasantries and empty words.

Qin Zhi can also be said to be upright, even if he is bad, he is also bad for you to see at a glance.

Zhao Huaiyan smiled, put the letter down, and handed the painting to Zhao Xue and asked her to put it away.

Zhao Xue frowned and asked, "Why does Prince Qin always like to send the emperor to paint, this is the third one, right?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan thought for a while, "Well, it's the third one, let's put them together." ”

Calling the snow, he silently put away the painting and went to find the box before.

Lan Wu pouted and said, "Prince Qin is too stingy, this Chinese New Year, he only gave a painting to the emperor as a gift?" The princes or kings of other countries give much more valuable than this. ”

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the ministers are on vacation, and Zhao Huaiyan, the emperor, does not have to get up early every day to go to the court to deal with state affairs, she has been idle since the 27th, but when she is idle, she can't really have nothing to do, and she will receive a lot of congratulatory gifts and letters every day, all from other countries.

She had to read these congratulatory gifts and letters, and she had to find someone to reply.

Therefore, in the past few days, she has basically been in her bedroom, looking through gifts.

Qin Zhi's New Year's gift is indeed not on the table, but the painting is made by him, or the river and mountain map of Qin, the meaning is extraordinary, although it is not as valuable as other gifts, but it is very rare.

Prince Qin's handwritten calligraphy and painting are still very valuable.

Moreover, Zhao Huaiyan has no special feelings for Qin Zhi, and it doesn't matter whether the gift he gives is good or bad, heavy or thin.

Qin Zhi gave Zhao Huaiyan a painting as a New Year's gift, but Zhao Huaiyan would not return the painting to him, and still returned the most vulgar real money as a gift.

Qin Zhi received the return gift, opened it and saw that it was a golden dun with a golden rooster announcing good news.

Worth is worth money, it's just, no thought.

Qin Zhi put the golden pier in front of the bookcase, touched the slender fingertips, and stroked the magnificent and shiny golden body on it, he was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he said, "I gave her a painting, and she gave me a golden body, what do you mean by her?" ”

Bu Jingtao's thin lips pursed slightly, and said, "It shouldn't be anything special." ”

Qin Zhi glared at him.

Bu Jingtao said in a low voice, "The prince should stop fighting Emperor Zhao's idea, her marriage contract with Emperor Yan is ironclad, there can be no more changes, even if there is an accident, Emperor Yan will solve it by thunderous means, I think, what the prince has to do now is how to awaken the power of the God Emperor in your body." ”

Qin Zhi raised his eyebrows, "Taifu wants me to awaken the power of the God Emperor in my body. ”

Bu Jingtao said, "Of course, with the power of the God Emperor, you have the capital to confront Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan is the reincarnation of King Liuli, his power of the God Emperor has awakened, it is a very strong force, once this power is used in aggression, it is invincible, just like the previous reincarnation of the Northern Emperor Yixiao, mortals in front of him, no matter how powerful they are, they are like ants, they can easily be trampled to death, no matter whether the future prince can use this power or not, he has to wake it up." ”

Qin Zhi frowned, "But to awaken the power of the God Emperor, you have to have Zhuo Ling's help, Zhuo Ling is not here now, even if he is here, he will not help me." ”

Bu Jingtao looked at him and said, "There is another way. ”

Qin Zhi was slightly stunned, "Huh? ”

Bu Jingtao said, "The prince has obtained the universal spar before, and he can use the power of the universal spar to awaken this power by himself." ”

Qin Zhi said, "The universal spar was taken away by Foguang. ”

Bu Jingtao said, "Foguang went to Pengji Guangzhou, we can go there to find him." ”

Qin Zhi clasped his hands, looked directly at Bu Jingtao, and said with a smile, "Why does Taifu look like he is in a hurry to let me awaken the power of the God Emperor?" ”

Bu Jingtao pursed his lips, "Because prevention is better than prevention." ”

Qin Zhi raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything, but he didn't say anything about going to Pengji Guangzhou, he just looked at the golden dun in front of him, and his naturally cold eyes were brewing with incomprehensible emotions.

The step is so big that I don't say more.

Qin Zhi waved his hand and let him go down.

When Bu Jingtao left, Qin Zhi got up, went to Emperor Qin, gave him Bu Jingtao's words, and asked for his opinion.

Emperor Qin pondered for a while and said, "Of course it's good to be able to awaken this divine power, Taifu is not wrong, this is the capital that can confront Yan Chi." ”

Qin Zhi said, "Then I'll find a time to find Foguang?" ”

Emperor Qin said, "Well, forget it during the New Year, the palace is busy, and your sister will come back later, so you have to receive it." ”

Qin Zhi said, "I'll go in the next year." ”

Emperor Qin nodded, rubbed his tired eyebrows, during the Chinese New Year, the ministers of every country will have a holiday, and so is the Qin State, Emperor Qin has not been to the court in the past few days, but he still has to deal with a lot of things, he leaned on the dragon chair and was silent for a while, then he said, "When the power of the God Emperor in your body awakens, you will take over this position of your father, and your father will also go to support the elderly, relax and relax." ”

Qin Zhi was slightly stunned, "Dad is still young." ”

Emperor Qin said with a smile, "I'm not young anymore, Yan Xingzhou has retreated, and my father doesn't want to be strong anymore, this world belongs to you young people, and the future situation depends on you." ”

Qin Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "If Dad really wants to be idle, then his son can only respond." ”

Emperor Qin sighed, and said, "Let's get married before ascending the throne, and choose a princess to come out." ”

After Emperor Qin said this, he looked at Qin Zhi's face, he naturally knew that his son liked Zhao Huaiyan, but it was impossible for Zhao Huaiyan to marry Qin State, nor could he marry Qin Zhi, and he chose the crown princess, firstly, to cut off his thoughts, so that he could devote himself wholeheartedly to the country, and secondly, to win over a powerful ally.

Now the eight countries, Yan is the strongest, Qi has been destroyed, Zhao and Chen are attached to Yan, Han is also close to Zhao, and he also expressed goodwill to Yan, and the remaining Zhou and Wei are his allies of Qin, Chu was originally a friend of Yan, and now it has become an uncertain factor, Emperor Qin wants Qin Zhi to marry a Korean princess, because South Korea is pro-Zhao, and Zhao and Qin have no big grudges, although they are not allies, they are not enemies, and South Korea is because of Zhao to surrender to Yan, in fact, South Korea has no friendship with Yan, and married Princess Han, Then South Korea will become the second uncertain factor.

A Chu state, a Korea, once they become Qin's allies, then Zhao and Yan will no longer be taboo.

Emperor Qin told Qin Zhi about his plans.

After Qin Zhi heard this, his cold brows instantly twisted into a rope, and he said repulsively, "I don't like Korean princesses." ”

Emperor Qin said, "There are three princesses in Korea, you can choose one." ”

Qin Zhi was unwilling.

Emperor Qin sighed, "Then you say, who do you fall in love with?" ”

Qin Zhi pursed his lips.

Emperor Qin said again, "Except for Zhao Huaiyan, whoever you want to marry, my father can agree." ”

Qin Zhi said, "Except for her, I don't want to marry anyone." ”

Emperor Qin said, "Okay, you want to rob a woman with Yan Chi, you have the courage, and your father supports you, but how do you want to rob it?" Hit Zhao or Yan? Now don't talk about fighting Yan Guo, that is, fighting Zhao Guo, Qin Guo also has to weigh and weigh, if you don't use force, you have to use your brain, better than your brain, Yan Chi is not worse than you, Zhao Huaiyan is not worse than you, then take a step back, not compared to your brain, let's talk about feelings, does Zhao Huaiyan have feelings for you? ”

The last sentence really cooled Qin Zhi's heart.

Zhao Huaiyan has no feelings for him.

At least, there is no love.

Qin Zhi's face became gloomy for a moment, he took a sharp breath, closed his eyes and precipitated his emotions for a while, and then slowly spoke, "If you can't marry, then I won't marry." ”

Emperor Qin said, "If you want Zhao Huaiyan, you have to strengthen the country first, and it is not difficult to get her, it depends on whether you can endure the pain for a while." ”

Qin Zhi frowned, he was not a stupid person, of course he knew what his father meant by this, it was nothing more than forbearance first and then erection, and this forbearance was to marry a Korean princess first, get the support of South Korea, and then go east and take the Yan Kingdom.

Yan Guo is destroyed, and Zhao Huaiyan is naturally his.

Qin Zhi clenched his fists lightly and said in a deep voice, "Listen to Dad." ”

Emperor Qin smiled, "That's right, just in time for the Chinese New Year, aren't you going to feast the crown prince and princess of Zhou and Wei on the fifth day of the new year?" Call Prince Han and Princess Han too, I have never dealt with South Korea before, and I haven't sent them any congratulatory gifts, so I will send them once this year. ”

Qin Zhi pouted, "Such a small country, my father is really true." ”

Emperor Qin said, "No matter how small it is, it's also meat." ”

Qin Zhi didn't know what to say, thinking of the princess of Weiguo and the princess of Zhou, he still said the hidden worries in his heart, "Zhou and Weiguo are friendly with our Qin State, and every generation of princes will marry the princesses of these two countries to show their affinity, and now you ask me to marry a Korean princess, they will have ideas." ”

Emperor Qin said, "I, the Qin State, let each generation of princes marry the princesses of the Zhou State and the Wei Kingdom, but the princesses of these two countries are not honored to obtain the position of the crown princess, and they themselves know that with their national strength, it is impossible to sit in the position of the queen of Qin." ”

This is true, in the Zhou State and the Wei Kingdom, the princess may be driven by a daughter, not a concubine, but in the Qin State, it can only be a concubine, the princes of the past dynasties married these two princesses, are only side concubines, none of them are concubines, this is probably also because they can't favor one over the other, because both countries are friendly with Qin, and they are both weak and small countries, giving the princess of Zhou the position of concubine, but not giving the princess of Weiguo the position of concubine, it will inevitably make the royal family and the people criticize.

Qin Zhi stood up, "Then I'll go down to prepare for the ceremony." ”

Emperor Qin nodded and waved his hand to let him go.

Qin Zhi left and went back to his prince's mansion, sitting in the mansion, he sat alone in the warm pavilion drinking tea, Bu Jingtao was not there, standing on his left and right was Guangde, one of the twelve elite guards of the Qin Emperor, and Ruan Jiang, the prince's personal guard, these two saw Qin Zhi frowning, looking preoccupied, they raised their heads one after another, glanced at each other, and then staggered their eyes.

Guangde asked out loud, "Prince, have you encountered any troubles?" ”

Qin Zhi played with the blue and white porcelain cup in his hand, and said lightly, "Which princess in Korea do you want to give a gift to, what gift to give, I don't seem to have seen a Korean princess in my memory, I don't know which of the three princesses is pleasing to the eye, and marrying back will not make me upset." ”

When Guangde heard this, he was stunned.

Ruan Jiang was also stunned, and quickly said, "The prince wants to take a concubine?" ”

Qin Zhi said, "Yes." ”

Ruan Jiang said, "Want to marry a Korean princess as the crown princess?" ”

Qin Zhi hummed again.

Ruan Jiang choked, he was puzzled, "Why South Korea?" Shouldn't it be a noble girl from the Qin State? The queens of my Qin State are all descendants of the nobles of their own country, so that they can maintain the orthodoxy of the Qin royal family and the nobility of their bloodline, and marry a Korean princess, which is incredible. ”

It is true that the queens of the Qin State are all from the nobles of their own country, and they are the nobles who are the most respected.

It's not about love, it's just about maintaining the orthodox heritage of the royal family.

This is something that the other eight countries cannot compare.

But when he came to Qin Zhi, the rules were broken.

He wants to marry a Korean princess as the crown princess, and in the future, he will also become a queen.

Qin Zhi didn't answer Ruan Jiang's doubts, but said, "Tomorrow will be the first day of the Lunar New Year, you go to check the three princesses of Korea, it's best to get a portrait, and then find out their temperament, and come back to tell me." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Guangde and Ruan Jiang had not moved, and Qin Zhi said again, "Forget it, I will write a letter to Emperor Han and invite these three princesses and the crown prince to come to Qin for a party." ”

As he spoke, he put down his glass and stood up, and went into the study inside.

Guangde and Ruan Jiang glanced at each other again and shrugged at each other.

Guangde said, "Marrying a Korean princess should be to divide the relationship between Korea and Zhao, and then let Korea get closer to Qin." ”

Ruan Jiang said, "But South Korea has always been good friends with Zhao Guo, I'm worried that the prince wants to marry, but people won't give it." ”

Guangde sneered, "Little Korea, dare to refuse my Qin State's kindness? ”

Ruan Jiang said, "I don't know, when the prince's letter goes, we can know Emperor Han's attitude." ”

What is Emperor Han's attitude?

When he saw the letter, although he was a little surprised, he didn't think about it deeply, because Qin Zhi didn't write anything in the letter, only said that he would invite Prince Han and the princesses to gather in the Qin Kingdom, and that on the fifth day of the new year, he would have a banquet for a few royal family members, and he must invite them to appreciate their faces.

There is no problem with the writing of this letter, and there is no problem with what it says, it can be sent from Qin to Korea, and then from Qin Zhi to Emperor Han, which is a big problem.

He had never exchanged contacts with Qin in South Korea, and the sudden invitation had a very strange atmosphere.

Emperor Han thought about it and wrote a letter to send it to Zhao quickly.

Zhao Huaiyan read Emperor Han's letter, her beautiful brows frowned slightly, she supported her chin with the back of her hand, and after pondering for a long time, she lowered her head and began to write a reply.

After writing the reply, Zhao Huaiyan got up and went to find Zhao Xian.

Zhao Xian was still in the imperial mausoleum, on the three days of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first and second days of the first and second days of the new year, he returned to the palace to accompany Zhao Huaiyan for the reunion year, and on the third day of the first year, he returned to the imperial mausoleum, he wanted to accompany Xian Ruhua, and the opposite of him was Yan Xingzhou, Yan Xingzhou Chinese New Year's Eve and the first and second days of the first and second days of the first year were all in the imperial tomb to accompany Xian Ruhua, and on the third day of the first year, he set off to return to Yan Kingdom.

Zhou Beizhi stayed because of him, he wanted to return to China, and Zhou Beizhi naturally went back with him, as well as Jin Ping.

Zhou Xiaochan stayed because of Zhou Biezhi, and now Zhou Biezhi wants to go back, and Zhou Xiaochan will also go back.

Zhou Xiaochan was brought out by Zhu Xuanguang, although he is now with Zhou Biezhi and Jin Ping, but he still remembers what he promised Yan Chi before leaving, that is, to take care of Zhou Xiaochan, yes, Zhou Xiaochan wants to return to China, and he will go back with him.

The group was about to say goodbye to Zhao Huaiyan, when they saw Zhao Huaiyan slowly entering the imperial mausoleum.

After dinner yesterday, Zhao Huaiyan watched the fireworks with Zhou Xiaochan and Zhu Xuanguang, Zhou Xiaochan said that she was going to leave today, Zhao Huaiyan knew, but she didn't expect it to be so early.

It's just morning.

When she came in, she saw a few people dressed up and smiled, "Are you leaving?" ”

Yan Xingzhou said, "I'll go back and spend a few days with the children, and then come back." ”

Zhao Xian stood there with his hands behind his back, and snorted when he heard the words, "Do you think that my Zhao Kingdom is a place where you can come and leave when you want?" ”

Yan Xingzhou ignored him, and only said to Zhao Huaiyan, "Anyway, it's okay, there are still a few days to leave the court, do you want to go to Yan Kingdom with us?" ”

Before Zhao Xian got angry, Zhao Huaiyan had already smiled and shook his head and refused, "I have to go to Qin State on the fifth day of the first month." ”

Originally, Zhao Huaiyan didn't plan to go, although Qin Zhi wrote an invitation letter, but she didn't plan to give him face, but after receiving Emperor Han's letter, Zhao Huaiyan still felt that it was better to go, Qin Zhi suddenly invited the Korean prince and princesses to the Qin Prince's Mansion as guests, which was really incredible.

What is Qin Guo calculating, what kind of medicine is sold in Qin Zhi's gourd, I don't know until I go.

As soon as Yan Xingzhou heard that Zhao Huaiyan was going to Qin State on the fifth day of the first month, he frowned at the moment and snorted, "What are you going to do there?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "Prince Qin is in for a treat." ”

Yan Xingzhou squinted, but didn't say anything more, put his hands behind his back, stepped away, and left.

Gonggong Xun hurriedly said goodbye to Zhao Huaiyan, said goodbye to Zhao Xian, nodded to Gonggong Zhao, and chased Yan Xingzhou.

Zhou Beizhi and Jin Ping followed.

Zhou Xiaochan stepped forward to take Zhao Huaiyan's hand and said, "I'm leaving." ”

Zhao Huaiyan smiled and shook her back, "Don't forget to take the fox fur and cotton clothes that are ready for you, the climate of Zhao Country is mild, but after entering the Yan Country version, it will be very cold." ”

Zhou Xiaochan pointed at Ning Yue, who was carrying a bag in her hand, and there were these thick clothes in it.

Zhao Huaiyan let go of her with confidence, and said to Zhu Xuanguang, "Take good care of Xiaochan on the road." ”

Zhu Xuanguang responded, "I know." ”

He actually wanted to hug her, but with so many people, and Zhao Xian, Zhu Xuanguang really didn't dare.

He had to withdraw his gaze and turn away.

Zhao Huaiyan went out to see them off, all the way out of the palace, and when she came back, she saw Zhao Xian standing there, she was stunned, stepped forward to take Zhao Xian's hand, and asked with a smile, "Why did Dad come to send it too?" ”

Zhao Xiandao, "Seeing Yan Xingzhou leave, my father is happy." ”

Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him amusedly, and quipped, "We've been together for so long, isn't your relationship very good after Aunt Zhou came?" ”

Zhao Xian's nostrils snorted, "Who has a good relationship with him." ”

Zhao Huaiyan smiled, "Okay, good, the relationship is not good, so who are you going to send?" ”

Zhao Xian hummed again.

Zhao Huaiyan chuckled, shook his hand, and shook it all the way into the palace.

Zhao Huaiyan thought that Zhao Xian would go to the imperial mausoleum again, but he didn't go, followed her into the dormitory, and then sat there, flipping through a few calligraphy and paintings, and asked casually, "Why did you go to Qin on the fifth day of the first month?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan put away her smile, found the letter that Emperor Han wrote to her, and showed it to Zhao Xian.

When Zhao Xian looked at it, Zhao Huaiyan said, "My daughter guesses that the letter written by Qin Zhi to Emperor Han must have something else, South Korea is good friends with my Zhao State, this is something that the other eight countries know, and Emperor Han is a cautious person, except for Zhao State, he has never been infected with other countries, and the kindness of Yan State is also completely based on the behavior of my Zhao State. But Qin State, a country that can't be wiped out, suddenly came to such a letter, thinking that there was Qin Shuangxia marrying Chu State before, this time, it is very likely that Qin Zhi wants to choose one of the Korean princesses to be his crown princess, so as to control South Korea and form an alliance. ”
