"Ling Yue, are you willing to marry Keyong?"

In the mansion of the eldest princess of Lanling, Emperor Luo Cheng sat on the warm couch and asked the county lord of Changsha.

Luo Keyong stood on the side, very respectful and honest, without the slightest bit of the fierce momentum on the battlefield, but like a shy young man.

"Uncle!" The county lord was holding Luo Cheng's arm and coquettish there.

On the one hand, Zhou Dewei, the privy deputy of the Privy Council, and the eldest lady of Princess Lanling just looked at the baby eldest daughter with a smile. Regarding this family matter proposed by the emperor, in fact, the two of them have their own thoughts in their hearts. Princess Lanling hopes that the eldest daughter can choose a famous handsome man to marry, but it is not said that there are five surnames and seven families, the five surnames and seven families have been suppressed by the emperor in recent years, and the princess is not willing to mess with it, but it is always better to choose the son of the prime minister of the dynasty.

And Zhou Dewei hopes that his daughter can choose one of his old brothers, and he has a better appetite for these lords and generals. Moreover, the families of the lords are all feudal marquises, which is a title for generations.

Luo Keyong is the emperor's righteous son, but he is a Tiele after all, and now the emperor has also canonized him as Xue Yantuo Khan, they are all worried that their daughter will follow him to the grassland in the future, if he goes, he doesn't know that he can see each other again in the year of the monkey.

"Uncle, why do you ask people like this, why don't you let this guy come and ask me directly. He used to tell me that they were the people of Mobei Tiele, and the habit in the tribe was to get a beloved girl and propose to her on one knee. ”

Zhou Dewei said on the side, "Yue'er, don't mess around, a man has gold under his knees, how can he kneel casually?"

"You just don't like me!"

The county lord of Changsha has always been favored, so he is not the kind of person who completely abides by the rules, otherwise he would not have a personal relationship with Luo Keyong.

"County Lord."

"Will you marry me?"

Luo Keyong really walked in front of the county lord and directly came to propose marriage on one knee.

"Oh, this kid, why is he messing around." Although Princess Lanling said this, she was quite happy in her heart, after all, she was a dignified person, but she knelt down to her daughter, so she didn't have to worry about her daughter being wronged after marrying in the future.

"Tweed, and jewelry, no sincerity at all." The county lord of Changsha pursed his lips, snorted, and twisted to the side.

Luo Cheng looked at this scene with a smile.

"Ling Yue, Xue Yantuo's mud promise to send 10,000 horses, 50,000 cattle, and 100,000 sheep to come over as a gift."

"Even if it is really sent, then this is for my uncle and the court, not for my family."

Roque thought for a moment and removed something from his neck, it was a pendant.

There was a huge pearl hanging from it, and what was especially rare was that it was actually a black pearl.

"This was a marriage proposal from my father to my mother, and then my mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, and she put this pearl on me before she died, and passed it on to me. This is the most cherished thing I have, and the only thing my mother has left me, and now I give it to you as a credit for my courtship. ”

"Ling Yue, are you willing to marry me?"

The county lord of Changsha looked at the black pearl and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Why didn't you ever tell me this, this thing is too valuable, it's the only thought your mother left for you, I can't ask for it."

"Please take it, the mother is leaving, and tell my father, if I find my beloved girl in the future, I can propose this marriage, I hope you like it."

Luo Cheng couldn't help but say on the side, "Ling Yue, if you like this person and think that he is worthy of your life, then you accept this precious proposal gift." ”

The county lord looked at Luo Keyong who was kneeling on the ground, and finally nodded.

"Okay, I promised you, and let your conspiracy succeed."

Luo Ke stood up excitedly, ignoring the emperor and the fact that they were all there, and directly hugged the county lord and spun in a circle.

Bursts of exclamations.

"Let me go, Dengzi, I'm going to die."

Luo Ke put down the county lord, but he couldn't help but be excited and kissed her directly, and the county lord was flushed, and he ran away with the pearl as if he were running away.

And the mother-in-law used by Roque turned her head directly and called it rude.

"Hahaha, worthy of being the righteous son of His Majesty, I want Your Majesty to go on an expedition back then, when I was about to leave, the queen mother rushed to see off, Your Majesty was also in front of the public, kissing the queen mother, I didn't expect that you are like this now." Zhou Dewei said with a smile.

Luo Cheng also laughed again and again when he heard it.

"Alright, that's it." Luo Cheng patted Luo Keyong, "Go back to the house and get ready, don't run here again during this time, and don't secretly meet with Ling Yue in private, according to our etiquette in the Central Plains, this is not allowed and unlucky, the young man has to hold back the excitement, and wait until the day of the greeting, and then come to greet him." ”

Luo Ke nodded excitedly, saying goodbye to Zhou Dewei and they left.

Only Luo Cheng and the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law were left in the house.

"Tomorrow, I will send someone to canonize Ling Yue as the princess of Changsha."

The eldest sister sighed, "The daughter who was raised single-handedly is about to get married in the blink of an eye, and she still wants to marry Xue Yantuo's Khan, so I'm always a little worried." ”

"Eldest sister, don't worry, Keyong doesn't want to go back to Mobei to be a khan, and his uncles and brothers in Mobei don't want him to go back, so I have already told Ni Xiao, and when they send Wan Li, there will be a wedding here, then Ke Yong will pass on the Khan position to Ni Xiao, and Ni Yi will pass the position of Xiao Khan to Ke Yong's brother, even if this matter is decided, Ke Yong and Ling Yue don't have to go back to Mobei in the future, and you don't have to worry, the tender cabbage that you have worked hard to grow has been taken away by the wolf cubs of Mobei."

"It would be nice if this was the case, since this is the case, why let Xue Yantuo prepare so many livestock to send them, it is not easy to travel thousands of miles, we marry our daughter, and we only ask her to marry someone who treats her well, and we don't ask for any dowry."

Luo Cheng smiled, "I am not a person who is greedy for money, but since Keyong is unwilling to go back to be this Great Khan, then the future Xue Yantuo Khanate will not be my own person, so I still have to ask for it, and I have to take the opportunity to ask for a big sum." ”

Zhou Dewei nodded.

He knew the real reason why the emperor wanted such a rare heavy bride price, the emperor wanted a lot, 10,000 horses, 50,000 cattle and 100,000 sheep, and the emperor was in a hurry, so he had to send it before the wedding, and he also specified that it should be sent to Lingwu County.

These conditions are not simple, even if the Mobei Khan Court raises the strength of a country, it is by no means a simple matter to send so many livestock to Lingwu.

This is to take the opportunity to release Xue Yantuo's blood, and even if it is not good, in order to get enough of this batch of livestock as soon as possible, maybe it will also forcibly levy and send herdsmen from various tribes in Mobei because of this, and it will inevitably make the Chinese people dissatisfied, and it will aggravate the chaos of the current situation in Mobei.

The ancients could kill three soldiers with two peaches, and now the emperor's huge bride price can force the chaos of Xue Yantuo's country, which is a very clever plan, but there is no need to tell a woman like his wife.
