On the day of the emperor's birthday, the prince held a banquet in the "Zhen Yu Zhai", in order to celebrate the emperor's birthday, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the royal family, and the lords of various territories all sent heavy gifts, and everyone wished the emperor a long life and eternal blessings.

At the banquet, one after another delicacies were served, a pot of agar syrup and jade liquid was pushed and replaced, and the emperor and the queen also attended the birthday banquet.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Ling Xia took Xia Ning'er and got up to toast the emperor, looking at the pair of beauties in front of him with a smile, the emperor took a sip of the wine glass, and after Ling Xia and the two drank the wine, the emperor said with emotion:

"Oh, time is not forgiving, in a blink of an eye, Ning'er has already become a family, ordinary people, fathers and mothers, help their children to complete the marriage, just wait for the old age to enjoy happiness, if according to the people, the current task is also completed.

I had promised that when the princess got married, I would give her a territory as a dowry to the princess, as the saying goes, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and now that you big guys are here, I simply fulfilled my original promise. ”

Hearing the emperor's words, the hundred realm lords on the scene all chuckled in their hearts, how could the good emperor mention this matter? If the emperor really wants to fulfill his promise, it means that one of the people will say goodbye to his own territory.

Not only the lords of the territory were worried, but the bigwigs in the various camps on the scene also pricked up their ears, and no one wanted the territory in their camp to be picked up by the princess, so they could only pray silently, praying that the princess could pick up the territory controlled by others.

After a faint glance, the emperor set his eyes on Xia Ning'er, looked at her with a kind face, and asked softly: "Ning'er, tell me, which territory did you fall in love with?" As long as it is you like, I will give it to you as a dowry. ”

"Thank you, Father." After getting up and thanking her, Xia Ning'er groaned slightly, then hugged her fists and replied: "Enlighten the father, the daughter has fallen in love with the Liulijiang, if the father allows, he will also give the Liulijiang to the daughter of the father." ”

"Liulijiang?" After hearing Xia Ning'er's choice, the emperor showed a trace of surprise on his face, his eyes were a little suspicious and puzzled, he glanced at Ling Xia not far away, looking at Ling Xia's calm and relaxed expression, he seemed to have guessed something.

Not only was the emperor puzzled, but the people at the scene also looked dazed, it stands to reason that Xia Ning'er, as a girl, should choose those territories with pleasant scenery, why did she finally choose the cold and frozen realm of Liulijiang.

Liulijiang is the place where the military generals are powerful, because it is located at the border boundary, so there are ten integrated legions stationed in the ten provinces in Liulijiang all the year round to prevent it, the original Xinjiang lord is a first-class military marshal, and now Xia Ning'er has chosen Liulijiang, the other party can only abdicate and make way for Xian.

There was no imaginary dissatisfaction, when the governor of Liulijiang heard that Xia Ning'er had taken a fancy to his place, he immediately expressed his willingness to hand it over, and after handing over the tiger talisman and Xia Ning'er to transfer troops, the other party retreated to the side.

It turned out that according to the policy of the imperial court, the funds for the war guards and the salaries of the soldiers in each territory were prepared by the governors and yamen of various regions themselves, and to put it bluntly, they let the yamen in various places find ways to raise money and food to raise soldiers and hoard soldiers.

The former governor of Liulijiang couldn't sleep for a long time, because he had no money, he couldn't afford to raise soldiers and horses, and the soldiers of the war guards in the territory had not received their salaries for half a year, and now they could barely maintain themselves, and they would have to run out of food next month.

Just when he was feeling anxious for the military salary, he didn't expect the princess to fall in love with his territory, sighed with relief, hugged his fists to congratulate Xia Ning'er, toasted Xia Ning'er and Ling Xia with a glass of wine, and the other party left in style.

"Liulijiang, since Ning'er likes it, then I will reward Liulijiang to the princess." Speaking of this, the emperor was about to stand up and prepare the decree, but as soon as he moved, at this time, the emperor saw Ling Xia quietly tugging the corner of Xia Ning'er's clothes, and then Xia Ning'er spoke again:

"Father, Liulijiang is the dowry you gave to your daughter, and now your daughter has a dowry, but the colt has not yet received your reward, and the losers in the finals can still be promoted several levels, but the colt has only been promoted by one level, and it is not as good as those who are unsuccessful.

According to the daughter, the brothers have territorial jurisdiction, and the daughter now has her own territory, and now there is nothing left for the horse, father, there is a way to be a son-in-law and half a son, you can't treat the horse badly.

I heard that the outside world is rumored that her daughter is bullying the donkey, and now the daughter is asking for a reward for the donkey, hoping to use this to correct the name, so that those who chew the root of the tongue will shut up. ”

"What? Do the horses also want to reward the territory? ”

"Isn't this another frontier to be carved out?"

"The princess can have a dowry, what kind of colt does it matter."

Xia Ning'er's request was obviously unexpected by the emperor, after listening to Xia Ning'er's words, the emperor fell into deep thought, not only did the emperor not expect it, everyone didn't expect such a thing, especially the nine princes, all of them showed a thoughtful look on their faces.

Although everyone was playing their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, no one dared to stand up and refute it, the prince originally wanted to say something, but seeing that several brothers and ministers were all silent, after a little thought, he also chose to be silent, and everything was decided by the emperor.

Seeing everyone's reflection in his eyes, the emperor looked at Ling Xia, felt the emperor's gaze, Ling Xia smiled and looked at the emperor, the two looked at each other for a moment, and then, the emperor retracted his gaze, thought for a moment, he smiled:

"It is said that I have some ability as a colt, not to mention the previous achievements, the performance in the finals alone is very eye-catching, winning Zhuge Qing in the competition, winning the Qiankun by drinking, I heard that he can also write poems and write pairs.

Since today is my birthday, let's have some interesting shows, just now the princess begged for a reward for the horse, so I simply took out another territory as a reward, but whether I can take that territory depends on the horse's ability?

This program is called one enemy hundred, I looked at it, among the people on the scene, it happened that there were more than 100 Wenchen and military generals, and later, the horse first said the territory he liked, if the governor of the territory was a civil minister, then the horse would confront more than 100 Wenchen on the scene.

If the governor of the territory chosen by the horse is a military general, then he will fight against the more than 100 generals on the scene, whether it is a civil minister or a military general, as long as the horse wins, he will reward him with that territory, how about it? ”

After hearing this program, everyone at the scene looked at each other, and then everyone knelt down and bowed together, and at the same time shouted loudly: "We will obey the emperor's holy decree." ”

"Okay, let's get started." When the words fell, the emperor looked at Ling Xia with a smile: "Donkey, choose a territory." ”
