Lu Jinping had a close relationship with the Tibetan envoy Yunzi, and this matter quickly spread in the capital. Those gentlemen who had the idea of beating Yunzi before, of course, did not dare to compete with the prince, and obediently retreated one by one, and did not dare to harass again.

Lu Niang didn't live in Lu Jinping's Zhongwang Mansion because she didn't want to embarrass Lu Jinping. Lu Jinping bought a small mansion in the capital for her to practice martial arts quietly, and he would go over to meet her in his spare time.

Xiaoxiao has not been heard. Lu Jinping summoned the snow sculpture and tied a note to her leg, telling her what happened and the change in her position.

After the snow sculpture flew away, he never saw Xiaoxiao come to meet him, and he didn't know where Xiaoxiao went.

By the time everything settles down, it's already a month later.

Autumn has entered, and autumn is crisp.

Lu Jinping officially works in Dali City and Jingzhao Mansion, of course, his main place of work is still Jingzhao Mansion. And only difficult cases in Dali Temple will ask him to discuss together.

On this day, Lu Jinping had just returned home from the Jingzhao Mansion, and the porter told Lu Jinping that Yunzi was here and was waiting in the flower hall in the front yard.

Lu Jinping was a little surprised. In the past, Yunzi went directly to Jingzhao Mansion to find himself, but why did he suddenly wait for him at home today?

So, he walked quickly to the flower hall, and saw Yunzi sitting there in a daze, looking very gloomy, as if he was in a bad mood.

Lu Jinping deliberately smiled and said, "Yo, what is this?" Isn't there something unhappy about it? Let's talk, take your robe and sit on the soft couch beside her.

Yunzi slowly looked up at him, suddenly his eyes turned red, and he choked up and said, "You ......, will you miss me?" ”

Lu Jinping was a little puzzled by his unprovoked words, and said: "You are by my side, I don't have to think about you to see you." ”

"This morning. Your Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has decreed to give marriage to Princess Jincheng to us Zampu, and tomorrow we will leave to escort Princess Jincheng back to Tibet. ”

Lu Jinping sighed, he knew that this matter would come sooner or later, but he always felt that it was still far away, but when it became a reality. Lu Jinping knew that parting was just around the corner, and he was really reluctant to leave this lovely girl from Tibet.

Lu Jinping stood up, walked to Yunzi and sat down, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her little waist, and said, "Can you stay?" You don't have to go back. ”

Yunzi shook his head and said: "My father has already explained, once your emperor gives marriage, I will be responsible for sending the princess back to Tibet safely, this is my duty." If I don't go back, if the princess makes a mistake on the way, then my father and I will be to blame. ”

"What's the hard thing to blame, aren't they here with your master? They can escort them. And there are also our envoys from the Tang Dynasty, escorted by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, how can there be anything? Rest assured. ”

Yunzi shook his head and said, "It's not just that I'm worried about the safety on the road, I'm an envoy, and it's my mission to escort the princess." I have no excuse to stay in Datang. ”

"Marry me. Isn't that just an excuse? ”

Yunzi looked at Lu Jinping in a daze, her eyes full of tears. Suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugged her tightly, and kissed her.

After a long time when the two separated, Yunzi sniffed, smiled and said, "With your words, I will be satisfied." However, I still have to send the palace master back first. If you want to marry me sincerely, you can ask the mediator to come to Tibet to say goodbye, or you can write a letter of plea and ask you to return to Tibet with me on your behalf. Meet my father. If my father agrees to this marriage, can't I just come to Datang to reunite with you? ”

Lu Jinping said: "That's good, I'll write a letter right away and send a team of plum blossom guards to personally send a letter for me to ask for relatives." ”

Yunzi shook his head and said: "You can't ask someone else for such a thing, you'd better find a relative, otherwise it will be too insincere." Yunzi said a little shyly, and couldn't help but lower her head.

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "This is also true." But both of my parents died, and I only had one sister. By the way, I asked my sister and brother-in-law to ask for marriage on my behalf, okay? ”

"Well, that's great, but is it too late?"

"You'd better delay for two days, I'll write to my sister as soon as possible and call her back, and then set off with you."

"There's no problem with this, I have the final say on when I leave, and besides, the emperor will only give marriage today, and it's okay to wait for two days."

This result was what Yunzi wanted to expect most before she came, but she was worried that Lu Jinping would not marry her, after all, she was just a woman from far away in Tibet, but she didn't expect Lu Jinping to take the initiative to talk about it without hesitation, which couldn't help but make her heart flutter. The lifelong event has finally been settled, and my heart is extremely happy. At that moment, he kissed Lu Jinping for a long time, and then separated, saying that he would go back and wait for his news.

After sending Yunzi away, Lu Jinping wrote a letter to his sister and brother-in-law, and sent someone to send them to hurry up and ask them to come to discuss the marriage.

The two places were not far apart, and three days later, Lu Jinping's sister and brother-in-law rushed to the capital.

When they learned that their younger brother had become the prince, they couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.

Lu Jinping's sister Feng Niang has more or less guessed the reason, although she has not specifically guessed who Lu Jinping's biological father is, but since she is a prince, she must be a relative of the royal family, so Lu Jinping's parents must be members of the royal family.

They were even more excited to learn that the prince's mansion where Lu Jinping lived was actually the former residence of the current prince. It can be seen that Lu Jinping has a deep relationship with the crown prince Li Longji.

After meeting, Lu Fengniang was so happy that she was in tears, crying and laughing, saying that it was a pity that her parents died early, and she couldn't see Lu Jinping raise her eyebrows and exhale this day.

After telling the parting feelings, Lu Jinping invited the two to sit down, saying that he wanted to invite them to Tubo for him to ask for marriage, and marry Yunzi back to be his bride.

Hearing this, Lu Fengniang and her brother-in-law Jin Dafu glanced at each other and didn't speak.

After a while, Jin Dafu smiled and said, "Lord Wang, it stands to reason that I shouldn't talk too much about this matter, but since you mentioned it, I still think that it is better to discuss this matter in the long run." ”

Lu Fengniang also hurriedly said: "Yes, you are the prince after all, and your princess has the emperor's nod, not her own decision." And you want to marry a Tibetan woman to be the princess, I'm afraid this is a big mistake. ”

Lu Jinping was stunned for a moment, he didn't take his life experience into account in his marriage, ignoring that his current identity is a prince rather than an ordinary person, not that he can marry whoever he wants.

But he didn't have the feudal etiquette in his mind, and he was not subject to all the restrictions of the royal family, so he waved his hand and said, "I don't care about that, I want to marry her." ”

Lu Fengniang sat next to Lu Jinping, took his hand and said, "Brother, you can't be willful. If you really like her, after you marry the princess, it's okay to make her a side concubine. But she must not be your concubine, that is for the emperor to choose for you! ”

Lu Jinping knew that it seemed that he had neglected one of the most important issues, and he had to hurry up to discuss it with Li Longji. So, I asked my sister and brother-in-law to stay first, saying that I had something urgent to go out.

Lu Jinping rode straight to the palace in a carriage, he was a prince, as long as he didn't enter the palace at night, he could enter and leave at will at other times. Therefore, he soon entered the palace and came to Li Longji's East Palace. After the report entered, Li Longji was soon reported.

After greeting each other a few words, Li Longji said, "What seems to be something with your look?" Tell me, what do you need me to do for you? ”

Lu Jinping didn't want to beat around the bush, and said: "That's the case, the envoy of Tubo has a girl named Yunzi, who is the envoy who married Princess Jincheng to Tubo this time. She is my woman, and I am going to marry her as my princess, and I want to hear your opinion. ”

Li Longji's thick eyebrows wrinkled, glanced at him, stood up, walked back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back, and then stopped again, and said: "You know that our princess of the Tang Dynasty can marry Tubo and be their princess, but it is not appropriate for you to marry a woman from Tubo to be the princess of our Tang Dynasty prince." ”

"Why is that?"

"She is not the daughter of Tubo Zampu, but the daughter of the prince. is not worthy of you, we are a dignified Tang Dynasty. - Don't worry, what a good woman has is that you are the princess, I have always been worried about it, and I am giving you a room for a girl worthy of you. Don't worry, if you really like this woman, after you marry the princess, you can marry her as a side concubine, so it's always okay, right? ”

Only then did Lu Jinping know that the pride of Datang was vividly reflected here. He knew that he couldn't convince Li Longji, it involved the majesty of the royal family. So, Lu Jinping said: "Okay, then when will you marry Princess Zheng?" I'm not in a hurry to get the princess, I'm in a hurry to marry the princess, this girl is my beloved, I don't want to delay it too long, I want to send someone to intercede with her father this time. ”

"It's too hasty, your princess hasn't been decided yet, how can you talk about marrying a side concubine. Don't worry, it's still the same sentence, don't indulge in beauty. But any female man who is confused by women's sex will not have any great achievements, I don't want you to be such a person, listen to me, I will arrange it, okay? ”

Speaking of this, Li Longji found that Lu Jinping's face was ugly, so he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "One day I will marry her into the door, will the temporary separation only increase your relationship?" Isn't that right?"

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "Okay, since the imperial brother has said so, what else do I have to say?" However, it is best to ask my opinion before deciding on my princess. ”

"Don't worry about this, you're not a child, of course I won't call the shots for you."

Lu Jinping said goodbye to Li Longji's East Palace with some interest, left the palace and walked back, halfway through, he decided to go straight to Yunzi.

Yunzi lived in the royal post house in the capital, with a separate courtyard. (To be continued.) )
