Chapter 143: Hand to hand

Zhao Xian hadn't finished reading the letter yet, but listening to Zhao Huaiyan's analysis, his brows that had gradually changed over the years instantly twisted, and when he finished reading the letter, he slapped the letter on the table and said, "The Qin State wants to be the overlord and compete with the Yan State." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "This is normal, with the strength of the Qin State, if they don't have this ambition, it will be strange." ”

Zhao Xian pursed his lips and said, "If this is the case, then it is South Korea that is in trouble." ”

Zhao Huaiyan also thinks so, South Korea and Zhao Guo are good, if they are really worried about Qin State, it will be really troublesome, once they are good with Qin, it will be difficult to take care of Zhao State anymore, or in other words, the previous relationship is likely to be interrupted like this, friends can't do it, and they may become enemies.

Zhao Huaiyan sighed lightly, "So my daughter wants to go to Qin State to explore the truth and reality." ”

Zhao Xian thought for a while with a calm brow, and asked, "Did you reply to Emperor Han?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "It's already written." ”

Zhao Xian stood up, "Dad will write another one." ”

Zhao Huaiyan knew what Zhao Xian meant by writing another letter, but she didn't care, but announced that Qu Zhao came over and asked her to prepare for the trip to Qin on the fifth day of the new year.

Qu Zhao listened to it and went down to prepare.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Huaiyan didn't bring anyone else, so he took Qu Zhao alone and went to Qin.

On this day, Yan Xingzhou and his party also arrived in Yan Kingdom, and after sending Yan Xingzhou back to the palace, Zhou Beizhi took Zhou Xiaochan and Jin Ping back to Zhou Mansion first.

Yan Xingzhou didn't communicate with Yan Chi before he came back, and suddenly heard that he was back, Yan Chi immediately ran out of the room and went to the imperial palace.

Yan Xingzhou was tired all the way, and was lying down and resting under Xun An's service.

After Yan Chi entered the door, Xun An saluted him.

Yan Chi walked to the edge of the dragon bed and asked Yan Xingzhou, who was lying there, "Why did Dad come back suddenly?" ”

Yan Xingzhou glared at him, "Listening to your tone, don't you want your father to come back?" ”

Yan Chi smiled, "How can I be, I was an accident." ”

Yan Xingzhou snorted, thinking that today was the fifth day of the new year, and Zhao Huaiyan said that he was going to Qin State, so he frowned and told Yan Chi about it, Yan Chi listened to it, and was slightly stunned for a while, and then said, "Today?" ”

Yan Xingzhou said, "Zhao Huaiyan said that she was going to Qin on the fifth day of the new year, and I invited her to come to Yan Kingdom, but she refused, so I was probably in a hurry to go to Qin State." ”

Yan Chi was silent and didn't say anything, he probably couldn't figure out how Zhao Huaiyan could go to Qin State for a while, he didn't receive Qin Zhi's invitation letter, and I don't know if the royal family members of other countries received it, Yan Chi suppressed this matter, and first asked Yan Xingzhou about the situation, knowing that he was still in good health, but he was a little tired, and after wanting to rest, he retreated again.

Yan Chi returned to the imperial study, and his heart couldn't settle down.

But he couldn't go, in the afternoon, the ministers of Beiyan would enter the palace to face the saints, and he couldn't leave them and run to Qin.

Yan Chi sat in front of the dragon case and pondered for a long time, and asked Yuan Xing to call Yan Guangning over.

After Yan Guangning came, Yan Chi said to her, "You go to Qin State." ”

Yan Guangning was stunned, "Why do you want to go to Qin State?" ”

Yan Chi didn't hide it from Yan Guangning, and said that Zhao Huaiyan went to Qin State, and said that this matter was raised by Yan Xingzhou himself, so there must be some reason, he guessed that Qin Zhi sent a letter to Zhao Huaiyan, and it is difficult to say what the specific content of such a letter is, so let Yan Guangning go and take a look.

When Yan Guangning heard that Yan Xingzhou was back, he said happily, "Dad is home?" ”

Yan Chi smiled and nodded, "Well, but he's very tired, he's resting, don't bother him, wait until you come back from Qin State, and then greet him." ”

Yan Guangning sighed and asked, "Do you want to leave now?" ”

Yan Chi said, "Well, Seventh Brother sent Lou Wei to accompany him." ”

Yan Guangning said okay, Yan Chi asked Yuanxing to pass on Lou Wei, after Lou Wei came, he heard that he was going to Qin State, he was happy to run errands, but he had to let Yan Chi call Huadiao also, the name is how easy it is to do things, Huadiao is the leader of the Golden Spy Network in Yan State, and the leader of the Golden Spy Network on the Qin State must know each other, if there is an accident, it is good to ventilate.

Yan Chi thought about it and felt that Lou Wei's idea was good, so he sent someone to call Huadiao.

After Hua Diao knew that Zhao Huaiyan also went to the Qin State, of course he didn't say a word and agreed.

In this way, the group of three traveled lightly and rode away.

Yan is in the east, Qin is in the west, one east and one west, the distance is very far, in order to be able to reach Qin before dark, the three of them are hurrying to go from Pengji Guangzhou to Qin.

In Pengji Guangzhou, the three of them met Foguang.

Fo Guang left from Yan Kingdom, arrived in Pengji Guangzhou, went underground, and after investigating the situation of the sealing enchantment and demonic qi, he planned to return to the pilgrimage dynasty and report the situation outside to Yizen Ye.

People like Fo Guang shouldn't take the initiative to greet people.

Yan Guangning called out to the master with a smile and asked him where he was going, after Fo Guang said that he was going back to the pilgrimage dynasty, Yan Guangning also said that he was going to Qin State, so he said goodbye, and then rushed to his own way.

At this time, Zhao Huaiyan had already arrived in the Qin State, and at the same time, there were also the royal family of the Wei Kingdom, the royal family of the Zhou State, and the royal family of South Korea, as well as Qin Shuang, who came back with her newlywed husband.

The Prince's Mansion is very lively.

Qin Zhi hoped that Zhao Huaiyan would come, but he also knew that the chance of Zhao Huaiyan coming was very slim, and he didn't have much hope, so when the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion came in and told him that Emperor Zhao was visiting, he was stunned at first, and then overjoyed, and quickly stood up and said excitedly, "Please come in." ”

The butler replied again and again, turned around and ran to the door.

Qin Zhi also followed out the door.

Wei Jing, the crown prince of Weiguo, Zhou Ke, the prince of Zhou, and Han Ye, the crown prince of South Korea, heard that Emperor Zhao was coming, and they also followed Qin Zhi behind him and went to the door to greet him.

Wei Jing came to Qin and only brought a princess, named Wei Zhi, this princess was used by Wei Guo to marry Qin Zhi, so every time he came back to Qin, he took her with him.

Zhou Ke also brought a princess, named Zhou Furong, this princess was also originally planned by Zhou Guo to marry Qin Zhi, so every time he came back to Qin, Zhou Ke also took her.

In addition, Wei Guo and Zhou Guo have always had a good relationship because of the relationship between Qin State, so these two princesses are very familiar with each other, and they also know that each other, like themselves, is going to marry Qin Zhi, and serve the prince together in the future, and they will be a family in the future, and they will get along very well.

The two princesses saw that their brothers had gone to the door, and the two of them were going too, but they were stopped by Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang snorted, "Isn't it just an Emperor Zhao, and everyone needs to welcome him?" Four princes are not enough? ”

Wei Zhi was stunned for a moment, and smiled softly, "What the Ninth Princess said is right. ”

She retreated to her chair and sat upright.

Zhou Furong glanced at Qin Shuang, didn't say anything, and sat back in the chair.

The three princesses of South Korea have been sitting there silently, except for saying hello to everyone when they first came, the three of them basically did not speak, and they were cautious and defensive everywhere.

Qin Shuang had already learned from Qin Zhi what the three princesses were doing in the Qin Kingdom, her slightly cold eyes swept over the faces of the three different looks, and then looked at the door.

At the door, Zhao Huaiyan had already gotten out of the carriage and had just landed on the ground.

The housekeeper of Qin State walked out, Qin Zhi walked out, Wei Jing, Zhou Ke, and Han Ye also walked out, several people covered their faces, first greetings, and then Qin Zhi asked the housekeeper to take the carriage away, and he personally led Zhao Huaiyan into the door.

When he passed the door, Qin Zhi said, "I thought you wouldn't come." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said with a smile, "Your Qin State is a strong country, and I have never invited the royal family of my Zhao State to participate in the gathering over the years, and it is the honor of my Zhao State to invite it this year, how can I not come." ”

The corners of Qin Zhi's mouth twitched slightly, I don't know if her words were flattering or sarcastic, but it didn't sound like a good thing, he smiled faintly, didn't care at all, and just said, "It's not that I didn't invite before, but that you Zhao Guo is too difficult to invite." ”

Zhao Huaiyan snorted lightly, ignored him, turned his head to look at Han Ye, then raised his eyebrows, and pretended to be surprised, "This year, not only Zhao Guo has been invited, but even South Korea has been invited." ”

Qin Zhi also glanced at Han Ye and responded, "Yes." ”

Zhao Huaiyan asked Han Ye, "Why didn't you notify me when you came, I'm with you." ”

Han Ye frowned, "I didn't know you would come too." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said with a smile, "So Prince Qin's request for posting this time is really interesting." ”

Qin Zhi asked, "What's interesting?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "In today's Seven Kingdoms, you have invited four countries, and only two have not been invited, one is the most powerful Yan State, and the other is the Chen State of the weakest country. ”

She tilted her head and looked at Qin Zhi, "Is there any special meaning?" ”

Qin Zhi thought to himself, what special meaning can it be, if he doesn't send an invitation to Yan State, he doesn't want Yan to be late, and he doesn't send an invitation to Chen State, because once Chu State and Korea become Qin State's pro-allies, then Chen State is the country that Qin State must annex, and if it is annexed by Qin State, how can it send an invitation post?

Qin Zhi said, "It doesn't mean anything special, I just don't want to invite it." ”

Zhao Huaiyan smiled and didn't say anything more.

I didn't see the prince of Chu at the door just now, but I saw him after I came in.

He sat with Qin Shuang.

Zhao Huaiyan squinted his eyes, and suddenly sighed in his heart, Prince Chu didn't come to the door to greet her like the other princes, was it because of Chu Chaohuan, or because he had already made up his mind to rebel against Yan and return to Qin? Or is it that the State of Chu is far stronger than the State of Zhao, so he is proud of his identity and can't afford it?

Chu Shang sat next to Qin Shuang and drank tea, quietly listening to her chatting with Wei Zhi and Zhou Furong, until Zhao Huaiyan's figure appeared, he put down the teacup and shouted Emperor Zhao with a distant smile.

He didn't get up, and Zhao Huaiyan didn't care.

Zhao Guo and Chu Guo were not friends in the first place, and she was not friends with Chu Shang and Chu Chaohuan, and she was not familiar with them.

Han Ye is friends with her, and it is understandable that he got up to greet her.

Qin Zhi is the host, and it is reasonable to welcome guests.

Wei Jing and Zhou Ke watched Qin Zhi's actions, and when Qin Zhi came, the two of them naturally followed.

Only Chu Guo, married to Yan and Qin, his position was more awkward, and he didn't greet him, as if he was in the past.

Zhao Huaiyan nodded, then moved his gaze to Qin Shuang.

Qin Zhi glanced at Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang stood up reluctantly and saluted Zhao Huaiyan, "Shuang'er has seen Emperor Zhao. ”

Zhao Huaiyan looked at Qin Shuang, probably because she had just been married, her complexion was very good, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she was wearing a long dress with extremely bright colors, full of golden hairpins, very shaky, probably because the weather was too cold, she put on a silver-gray cloak, which made her look less exaggerated.

Zhao Huaiyan doesn't like Qin Shuang, and she doesn't have any good feelings for her, she has met before, it is impossible for her to salute herself, and in Yan Guo, she still remembers the whip she injured herself.

It's not that she has a good memory, but that she holds a grudge.

Qin Shuang was a princess, so she naturally had to salute her, the emperor, even if she was an emperor with a foreign surname.

Now that she is married to Chu Shang, she is only the crown princess, and she still has to salute her.

But Zhao Huaiyan knew that Qin Shuang didn't like herself, just as he didn't like her, and now he could salute her in front of everyone, which showed that she was not a vexatious and willful person.

She is still very sensible, and she knows when she is doing something.

Zhao Huaiyan hummed lukewarmly, walked into the front hall, and when she passed Wei Zhi, Wei Zhi stood up and saluted her softly, she only nodded lightly.

When passing by Zhou Furong, Zhou Furong also stood up and saluted her, she only nodded lightly, and did not respond to a word.

But as she passed by the three Korean princesses, she stopped and looked at them with a smile.

Han Yuyou got up and shouted with a smile, "Yan'er." ”

Han Xishan also got up and shouted with a smile Sister Yan.

Han Bei also stood up and shouted Sister Yan with a smile.

Han Yuyou is the same age as Zhao Huaiyan and is seventeen years old this year.

Han Xishan is one year older than Zhao Huaiyan, and Han Bei is two years older than Zhao Huaiyan.

Because South Korea has always been friendly with Zhao Guo, the relationship between the three princesses from the main palace and Zhao Huaiyan is very good, and they often played together when they were young.

Zhao Huaiyan picked a chair closest to them and sat on it, and talked to them with a smile.

Qin Zhi also followed.

And the three princesses, who were originally very talkative, became extremely restrained when they saw Qin Zhi coming, and their words suddenly decreased by more than half.

When the three of them came, their father talked to them, and asked them to be as clumsy as possible when they arrived in Qin.

Emperor Han probably guessed Qin Zhi's intentions, at first he planned to refuse such an invitation and not let the children come, but thinking that if Qin Guo made up his mind like this, he could refuse once, but he couldn't refuse two or three times, and the final solution was to make Qin Zhi die.

How to die?

It's just that he can't be looked down on by anyone.

But Emperor Han wouldn't know that no matter how upset Qin Zhi was with these three Korean princesses, Qin Zhi would still pick one of them out and be his crown princess.

Anyway, if you can't marry Zhao Huaiyan, you can marry anyone.

Now that marrying a Korean princess is beneficial to the Qin State, he will definitely marry a Korean princess.

It's not even comfortable to look at any of them.

After Qin Zhi sat down, Zhao Huaiyan couldn't chat with the three princesses of South Korea, she glared at Qin Zhi unhappily, "Can't Prince Qin sit somewhere else?" ”

Qin Zhi asked, "Can't I sit here?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "No, disturb our chat." ”

Qin Zhi said, "I can also chat with you." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "We are girls, and we can't talk to you together." ”

Qin Zhi smiled, "Why can't we talk together?" He looked at the three Korean princesses, and after looking around, his eyes fell on Han Yuyou, and asked her, "Are you the same age as Emperor Zhao?" ”

Han Yuyou whispered, "Hmm." ”

Qin Zhi lightly tapped the armrest, and his gaze deepened when he saw her.

He stood up with a smile and was about to leave, but as soon as he took a step, he suddenly turned around, bent over, leaned in front of Zhao Huaiyan, his thin lips were very close to her ear, and whispered, "I remember that your birthday is in January, right?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan raised his eyebrows, a little disgusted by his sudden approach, and was about to step back away, but Qin Zhi stood up straight again, he looked at her, didn't wait for her to reply, put his hands behind his back again, and left.

He went to talk to Wei Jing, Zhou Ke, Han Ye and Chu Shang.

didn't say much, the housekeeper came over and said that the banquet was ready, so Qin Zhi beckoned a group of people to go to the big dining hall in the backyard to eat.

After eating, Qin Zhi invited everyone to enjoy the scenery.

Qin Shuang didn't want to go, so he dragged Chu Shang to the palace to see Emperor Qin.

Qin Zhi took the rest of the people to visit the mountains, rivers and waterscapes of the Prince's Mansion.

When I first set off, a few people still walked in groups, but they walked and walked away, some people went to see the mountain view, some people went to see the river view, and some people went to find a gazebo to rest.

As soon as Zhao Huaiyan came back to the Prince's Mansion of Qin State, her interest was still very high, so she pulled the three Korean princesses together, but as she walked, Han Yuyou disappeared.

Zhao Huaiyan sighed and asked Han Xishan and Han Bei if they had seen Han Yuyou.

Han Xishan and Han Bei both shook their heads, and also said that they were still there just now, why did they disappear in a blink of an eye.

Han Xishan and Han Bei were a little worried about Han Yuyou, so they said that they would go to find it.

Zhao Huaiyan felt that since Qin Zhi asked Han Yuyou, who was the same age as Emperor Zhao in the morning, and received Han Yuyou's affirmative answer, Qin Zhi's attitude towards Han Yuyou was different, thinking of Qin Zhi's idea of wanting to fight South Korea, she didn't say a word, and immediately said, "Let's look for it separately." ”

Han Xishan said, "Okay. ”

Han Bei also said, "Okay." ”

After that, the three separated.

Han Yuyou was indeed lost, and the reason why she was lost was not because she was lost, but because she was suddenly attracted to a beautiful rabbit, and then she was taken to a strange yard by it.

There were no guards around the courtyard, and Han Yuyou saw Qin Zhi as soon as he entered.

He sat on the edge of the flower bed, bending down to tease the two young rabbits, and the rabbit that had just attracted her was now being poked in the stomach and scolded.

These rabbits were probably raised by him, raised for a long time, the rabbit was poked and scolded by him, did not run or frightened, went down to the nest, nested next to the two young rabbits, and as soon as it nested, the two young rabbits arched into her arms.

Han Yuyou watched it for a long time before she realized that they were looking for milk.

Han Yuyou's face flushed, and she turned around to leave.

But he didn't want to, a man's deep voice came from behind him, "Princess Yuyou, do you like these rabbits?" ”

Han Yuyou gently clenched her little hand, slowly turned around, and shook her head.

Qin Zhi smiled and got up and walked towards her.

At that moment, Han Yuyou was inexplicably flustered, she grabbed the hem of her skirt and stared at the man walking towards her with extreme defensiveness.

Qin Zhi walked up to her and glanced down at her, his brows furrowed slightly, very reluctant, but he had to reach out and hold her hand lightly.

Han Yuyou was taken aback, only to feel that the man's hand wrapped her little hand, and the slightly high body temperature also came from his palm, making her brain blank, and she forgot to react.

When she came back to her senses, she had been taken by Qin Zhi to the three rabbits.

He pulled her down and squatted down, pointed to the big cute rabbit, and said, "You'll like it, touch it." ”

Han Yuyou didn't touch it, Qin Zhi took her hand up.

The big rabbit felt that someone was touching it, and immediately opened its dark and round eyes, and when it saw Qin Zhi, it closed its eyes again.

Han Yuyou felt that it was amazing, and exclaimed lightly, "Did you raise it?" ”

Qin Zhi said, "When you're bored, raise it to pass the time." ”

But in fact, he was raised for Zhao Huaiyan.

These two cubs, a male and a female, he will keep it by himself, and he plans to give it to Zhao Huaiyan on her birthday.

Now, I have to give it to Han Yuyou.

Han Yuyou was nervous and scared at first, but after touching the soft fur of the big rabbit several times without provoking its hostility and running away, she let go of her courage and reached out to hug one of the two cubs when they were sucking and snoozing on their stomachs.

The she-rabbit glanced at her, lowered her ears again, and nested there still.

Qin Zhi saw that Han Yuyou liked it, so he said, "I'll give it to you." ”

Han Yuyou was stunned, "How embarrassing is this." ”

Qin Zhi pointed to the other one, "I still have it." ”

Han Yuyou still felt very embarrassed, but Qin Zhi insisted on sending it, and she liked it very much, so she had to agree.

Qin Zhi shouted and prepared the cage.

Han Yuyou hugged for a while, and after the next person brought the cage, she let go.

Qin Zhi didn't let her look at the scene behind, pulled her, walked out of the yard, and when he came to the door, he said, "Put it on your carriage, and the female rabbit will be with you, so that you won't be lonely on the way back." ”

Han Yuyou smiled shyly and said thank you.

Qin Zhi looked at her and asked again, "Do you like Qin Guo?" ”

Han Yuyou blinked and looked at him puzzled.

Qin Zhi said, "Are you willing to marry into the Qin State?" ”

Han Yuyou was stunned for a moment, and after a while, after reacting to what he said, he was shocked, "Prince Qin, you, what did you say?" ”

Qin Zhi clasped her hand, dragged her into his arms, hugged her, and whispered, "I don't know why, I like you very much when I see you, are you willing to marry me?" ”

Han Yuyou was so shocked that she forgot to resist, and from a distance, she was willing to be held by Qin Zhi.

And this scene happened to be seen by Zhao Huaiyan, who came to find her.

Zhao Huaiyan paused, stopped there, and did not step forward again.

She quietly looked at the scene in the distance, her eyes were cool, she was guessing before she came, but now, she was very sure of Qin Zhi's ghost idea.

Among the three princesses in South Korea, Han Yuyu is the youngest, with the softest ears, and she is the youngest, so she is naturally deeply loved, and she has basically never been in contact with the outside world, nor does she know the sinister outside.

Qin Zhi wanted to capture her, but he was able to capture her.

Zhao Huaiyan sighed lightly and coughed heavily, then he walked over like someone who had nothing to do and shouted, "Yuyou, why did you come here alone?" I'm looking for you with Xishan and Beibei. ”

Qin Zhi heard Zhao Huaiyan's voice and let go of Han Yuyou.

Han Yuyou seemed to wake up at this time, and jumped away all of a sudden, far away from Qin Zhi, her cheeks were flushed, her heart was beating non-stop, her hands had nowhere to put them, she stood there, embarrassed to death.
