"Text, what do you mean..."King Jiancheng's expression instantly became very strange.

"That's right, and with Mr. Nasir's envoy busy, he is far more urgent than we are, knowing that once the two countries get married, it will be very important for his future prestige! And all we have to do is temporarily change my royal identity surnamed Li! ”

The old man interjected, "Mr. Li, I understand what you mean, the purer the royal blood of Mr. Li, the more important it is for the marriage between the two countries!" But in this way, Mr.'s wedding ten days later is to be discussed, otherwise there is a lot of disrespect for his Arab Empire, and then it is a barbarian foreign domain, the royal dignity is inviolable, and his beloved daughter is small, I am afraid that it will not be justified! ”

Li Zhi said happily, "The relationship between the big countries is based on real interests, and it can somewhat avoid the frequent wars between the two countries, and I think that the Arab emperor cares more about which is more important!" Moreover, the distance between the two countries is very long, and it will take more than a month for the messengers to come and go, and if there are further consultations, I am afraid that it will be half a year before there is a delay. And I don't want to be bound by my own family affairs, so I don't want to get married, and I can't disturb the marriage I should have! ”

The old man obviously received some kind of special instructions before coming, and his attitude towards Li Zhi was still quite friendly and cautious: "Does Mr. Li already have a longitude and latitude in his heart about this matter?" ”

"The crux of the matter is how Afifa has treated me, and what Nasir can get out of it! As far as Afifa is concerned, I passively accept that Mr. Envoy cares more about his future status in his country! At this time, the Middle East was still in a semi-primitive state of life where parchment was widely used as a writing material, and once I introduced the world's most advanced papermaking technology through me, I could be treated with the same respect and courtesy by that empire without the need for two countries to marry. ”

There is no need for detailed interpretation, Zhengqing Wenqitang Paper has a deep understanding of the great achievements of gradually moving towards modern civilization.

In particular, the barbarians of the Arab Empire, which was located in a desolate region, possessed a level of civilization that was not commensurate with their own strength, and the desire for the most advanced technology was no less than the greed for the expansion of the empire's territory.

Regarding the relative selfishness of the Nasir envoy, whether it is Jiang Gui's nature like King Jiancheng or Bian Jiong, when he gets older, he faintly understands his thoughts.

It's just that they don't know what the true attitude of Princess Afifa, who is more noble, is, although they deeply believe what Li Zhi said, but the half-doubt and half-belief in her expression still hang on her face.

Perhaps Afifa was reluctant to be used as a tool by others, even if her own uncle had asked for it, and the matter was about Islam, which had always had strict rules and regulations on pagan mixing.

The strict system and the restrictions and norms of the faith, and the most real psychological reaction of this woman, are undoubtedly the biggest obstacles to the final union of men and women from different foreign countries.

Although King Jiancheng and the two were extremely eager for this matter to be accomplished, after all, marrying the daughter of a dignified Arab Empire caliph would be beneficial to Li Zhi personally and the entire Tang Dynasty, and would reduce many wars and kill many fewer lives.

"This matter is very important, and I am not allowed to talk about it myself, so it is more convincing to invite the two adults to meet the state guests and distinguished guests, and they will interpret it in person!"

Li Zhi did not involve the old man in his words, the reason is that his identity is deliberately concealed, although he has a good impression of that person Li Zhi, but in his mind, Luoyang or Gaozong himself must have a deep intention, what should be done at this time is to be ignorant on the surface.

King Jiancheng nodded, "Then find a convenient place for me and others, and meet the Nasir envoy as a personal elder, which is reasonable and reasonable!" ”

Diplomacy is no trivial matter, at that time, Datang was faced with a mottled situation of diplomatic countries, and foreign exchanges were intricate, so it cannot be said that every opportunity is precious, and it is normal to need to pay special attention.

At present, diplomacy is actually a macro, intergovernmental contact, and now it is understood by some grassroots law enforcers as ordinary foreigners, resulting in the treatment of Datang people is not as good as that of foreigners, blindly raising the treatment of foreigners, and in the long run, it is not conducive to the opening up of Datang to the outside world.

What's more, it is the only Arab empire in the world that can compete with the Tang Dynasty, and unlike some grassroots officials and ordinary people, the members of the Tang royal family see the world condescendingly, believing that they are the center of the world, and have a deep psychology that other countries should become their tributary countries.

Although the Chinese at this time did not handle such major foreign affairs carelessly, which led to reparations at least and force against each other, and then forced to cede land until sovereignty was limited, the importance of this is also undoubted.

Li Zhi nodded and looked back at the people around him, Yang Gaotang understood in his heart, and arranged for someone to quickly invite a group of people to leave the scene, but Li Zhi himself went straight to the three-layer jade shop.

At this moment, Nasir is not here, it is Amin and Azam, who have been in a good mood and have been watching Princess Afifa with a smile on her face.

This girl finally got what she wanted because of her feelings, and the sincerity of the women around Li Zhi, so at this time, she showed the demeanor of the little woman, and she was coquettish and weird, and she was not disguised after being frightened by all kinds of strange gems and jades, and this woman was in a very happy mood at this time.

Despite this, between her smiles, her noble expression is also naturally revealed inadvertently, which makes people have to marvel at her elegant and delicate light.

Even if the headscarf that wraps her head and drapes it over her shoulders, she hides her long fine black hair, and also shows a different style, occasionally revealing white skin like a freshly peeled egg, big eyes flashing as if they can speak, small red lips and the white of the skin, more distinct, a pair of small dimples evenly distributed on both sides of the cheeks, a shallow smile, dimples looming in the cheeks, lovely as a fairy.

Regardless of making people feel love and pity, Li Zhi stepped forward to explain his intentions, this tall, deep-eyed and high-nosed princess girl smiled back, and her big eyes were so bright that she felt dazzling and palpitating, but she glanced at Qingqi on the side for the first time.

"Then let's go over together, some others are difficult to pay attention to or need to face from time to time, in fact, there is no need to explain too much, seeing the harmony of our sisters, those people will understand!"

Qingqi seems to be the backbone of several women, and there is a kind of inexplicable and unclear cohesion on her body, and she is the extremely noble Princess Afeifa, and she can't help but be convinced.

On the side, Pang Ti never worried about the send-offs that Li Zhi needed to face, but he also knew the necessity of the three daughters accompanying Afeifa at this time, so he smiled and said to the other female guests: "With Sister Yiyi accompanying the sisters, we will come when we go!" ”

Ever since she learned about Afeifa's heart, Princess Yiyi has been in an inexplicable distraction, but fortunately, she has enough plans in her heart, and she can't see anything wrong on her face.

From her pretty face with a bright smile like a peach blossom, without a trace, the three daughters hugged Princess Afifa, whispered the women's fragments, and rushed to the wine shop with Li Zhi.

Located just a few hundred steps away from the East Market, the brewery is home to a variety of buildings and is now home to the headquarters of the East and West Markets.

When he led the group to follow, Yang Gaotang had already arranged the guests to take their seats, and the aroma of more than a dozen kinds of fruit wines of various colors made everyone forget the purpose of their visit for the time being, and they all showed a salivating expression.

It was the king of Jiancheng, who had already been privately supplied by Li Zhi, and it was the first time that he was surrounded by the aroma of wine, and his face was deeply shocked.

However, a group of more than a dozen people in black and white robes from the foreign realm quickly pulled them out of the enjoyment of wine, and with Li Yiyi's introduction, it didn't take long for Princess Afifa to confess her affection:

"Perhaps a few adults think that this will be a political marriage, which will not only save many casualties and loss of homeland and land caused by jihad, but as the daughter of an emperor, of course, she also has the responsibility and obligation to pay unconditionally, even if it is your own life. But the little woman does have a very clear perception of love in her heart, which is a kind of softness after a woman's state of mind is conquered, which is really a sincere love and desire for affection that is not stained with dust, and it is definitely not a deliberate plan for another purpose! ”

Although most of the people who heard and heard it were dozens of years old, few people could hear such an outspoken emotional description from the mouth of a seemingly young woman, not to mention that it was still a powerful emperor whose status was no less than that of the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, I have heard more or less about the personality of the foreign vassals, and the people in the main seat quickly adapted to this legendary straightforwardness and openness.

"So, Princess Afifa entered into this family affair of her own free will? Rather than other unavoidable pressure? ”

King Jiancheng's question caused Princess Afifa's cheeks to blush a little, and her little face was soft and shy, and a delicate and shy blush spread: "It's not a secret, the matter of marriage was mentioned by the little woman on her own initiative, and my Nasir was also touched by this, and it was definitely not his original intention!" I think so, since once the achievement is inevitably put on the so-called political color, although I myself am extremely disgusted with politics, but I can quickly connect Chang'an City with the trade of the Arab Empire, Brother Zhengwen is not only icing on the cake in business, but also the positive influence between the two countries will only be more relaxed, this is not only a matter of the well-being of the entire Arab world, I want to be a powerful empire, and I don't want the livelihood of my subjects to be in the midst of a dire war! ”

"In this way, the coexistence between the two super-empires can also be improved?" The smile on King Jiancheng's face did not disappear.

"That's right, it's just that the three sisters of Qingqi have been taken away by me for some emotional love for no reason. It's also a bit difficult for Brother Zhengwen, after all, because of me, his peaceful life has added twists and turns, no matter what, it's about two powerful empires, and every step of the way must be thoughtful and thoughtful! Helplessly, the little woman was born like this, this is a reality that cannot be ignored, so I feel guilty! ”

Princess Afifa's moist eyes couldn't help but flow with dampness, her red face was quietly pale, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly, which really showed her uneasiness at the moment.
