Knowing that Zhao Xiaoxi was invited by his father, Li Qinglu was very curious. I want to know what my father is talking about with Zhao Xiaoxi this time. In the past two days in the palace, Li Qinglu seemed to see that Li Qianshun didn't like Zhao Xiaoxi a little.

It's just that Li Qinglu knows very well that if it weren't for Zhao Xiaoxi who knocked her down that night, the person lying on the sickbed at this moment might be her. Although she has a certain kung fu foundation, she is not mentally prepared at all in the face of this extremely dangerous situation.

Maybe he was saved by Zhao Xiaoxi once, which made Li Qinglu feel guilty. Or perhaps, after a few days of contact, Li Qinglu felt that Zhao Xiaoxi was a person who dared to love and hate. Nor is it like other kings and nobles to treat women.

It was this kind of contact that made Li Qinglu also begin to consider the problem on Zhao Xiaoxi's side. was worried that her father would embarrass Zhao Xiaoxi again, so she quickly followed quietly. For her, the palace was also undefended.

Of course, in order to avoid being reprimanded by Li Qianshun, when she entered the council hall, she still brought a bowl of lotus seed soup from the imperial kitchen. Even if she is seen at that time, she has every reason to use filial piety as an excuse.

Coming to the door of the council hall and watching the guards salute and greet, Li Qinglu nodded calmly. After talking to these guards, the two guards around Li Qianshun are really not easy to stop.

It's just that they know that a big matter is being discussed inside, and now it's really inconvenient to let Li Qinglu in. Regarding this situation, Li Qinglu replied very understandingly, and she stood in the council hall and waited.

Seeing this situation, the guards could only let the eunuchs waiting at the second gate secretly go in and talk to Li Qianshun. At least two guards know that this lotus seed soup should be eaten while it is hot, how can it be eaten after a long time of cold?

Knowing that Li Qinglu sent lotus seed soup, Li Qianshun, who was worried about the stalemate between the two parties. soon understood that this daughter's filial piety was fake. Worried about what will happen to him, Zhao Hyo-seok is real. It seems that unconsciously, her daughter's heart has fallen to Cho Hyo-seok.

After nodding to the eunuch, Li Qianshun suddenly said: "The king of Bashu County, General Tuoba, the two of you must be a little tired from sitting. Why don't you try the freshly cooked lotus seed soup in the imperial dining room first, and then let's talk about it? ”

All when. What else do you drink lotus seed soup?

Not to mention that Zhao Xiaoxi was a little puzzled, even Tuoba Ye was a little confused by this. And not long after, they saw Li Qinglu walk in with three bowls of lotus seed soup.

Seeing Li Qinglu appear here, Tuoba Ye was naturally not stupid, thinking that Li Qianshun wanted Li Qinglu to help say something good. quickly got up and said, "Tuobaya, I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

As the commander of the Western Xia army, Tuoba Ye naturally has some respect for this famous princess of the Western Xia. Like today. It's a heartfelt greeting, and it's the first time. If nothing else, it's for Li Qinglu's upcoming change of identity.

Li Qinglu returned the salute and said with a smile: "Father, this is the lotus seed soup that my daughter asked the imperial dining room to specially boil." Knowing that General Tuoba was also coming, he asked the imperial dining room to prepare an extra bowl and asked the general to taste it.

Brother Zhao, this is yours! These days. You haven't had much rest. This lotus seed soup tastes good and gives you timidity. If not enough. I'll have someone from the Imperial Dining Room bring it later. You must eat more! ”

Looking at Li Qinglu's special care, Li Qianshun, as a father, was somewhat jealous. Even if he knew that Tuoba Ye, who was likely to be captured by Zhao Xiaoxi this time, he was a little surprised by Li Qinglu's attitude towards Zhao Xiaoxi.

Only Zhao Xiaoxi knew that when Li Qinglu was called at this time, it must be that Li Qianshun wanted to take the route of his daughter. Zhao Hyo-seok, who wanted to let Tuoba Jade go. I think it seems to be very good to be able to get more favors.

He took the lotus seed soup with a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

In any case, Li Qinglu can do nothing at this time, but Cho Hyo-seok must show a certain amount of respect. He did this in the hope that Li Qianshun and Tuoba Ye would be clear. He's not a man who bends over beauty.

Wait until the three of them have finished enjoying the lotus seed soup sent by Li Qinglu, Li Qinglu, who had received a message from the eunuch before. He looked very curious and said, "Father, I just heard that my father has something to do with Brother Zhao." I don't know what it is? ”

With Li Qinglu's beginning, Tuoba Ye hurriedly got up and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, in fact, there is a matter for the last general to ask to see His Royal Highness the King of the County. Presumably the princess should know about Yu'er's capture on the battlefield last year.

Now that the patriarch is in poor health, he hopes to redeem Yu'er as soon as possible. The last general learned that His Royal Highness the county king was in the palace, so he came to request. Please also ask Her Royal Highness the Princess, for the sake of the old patriarch and his wife missing their son, to intercede for the last general! ”

knows that the princess in front of her is also a smart and clever person, and Tuoba Ye wants to be in the name of filial piety. Let her say something good for the Tuoba tribe, so that the king of Bashu County, who seems to have a very resolute attitude, is also conditionally released by Tuoba Yu.

For this kind of thing, Li Qinglu understands very well that it is not easy to meddle. But she was willing to come in and act as a lobbyist, largely because she wanted to know. What is the weight of her in Zhao Xiaoxi's heart now.

Although she doesn't like men either, she doesn't want to be beautiful for the sake of beauty. But any woman wants a man to take them very seriously. Being willing to make some sacrifices for them is a testament to their place in their hearts.

Listening to Tuobaya's request, Li Qinglu also looked a little embarrassed and said, "Ah! How can I meddle in this matter as a woman? What's more, isn't his cousin's whereabouts unknown? How could it be in the hands of Brother Zhao? ”

The whereabouts are unknown, and it was a reply from the Song court to the Western Xia. As for the real insider, the courtiers of both countries probably know it. It's nothing more than that Zhao Xiaoxi feels that Tuoba Jade is a threat and refuses to return it to the Tuoba tribe.

Looking at Li Qinglu's inquiring eyes, Zhao Xiaoxi said lightly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Tuoba Jade is indeed in my hands." It's just that Her Royal Highness the princess should know that last year's incident, I also had a mortal enmity with him.

If Tuoba Yu is put back, and then he sits in the position of Tuoba Patriarch, won't I have one more enemy out of thin air? This kind of thing of letting the tiger go back to the mountain, does Her Royal Highness the princess think I can do it casually? ”

Facing the worry revealed in Zhao Xiaoxi's words, Tuoba Ye quickly said: "Your Royal Highness, please rest assured. As long as His Royal Highness is willing to release Yu'er, I swear that I will never be an enemy of the Great Song Dynasty. How is it? ”

In response to his answer, Zhao Xiaoxi shook his head and said, "General Tuoba, I know that you grassland people keep their promises. But you should know that your current position is only one of the 10,000 generals of the Tuoba clan. You can't represent the Tuoba tribe! ”

The intelligent Li Qinglu's eyes immediately lit up and said, "Brother Zhao, you mean, as long as your cousin swears." Never be an enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, and if you don't seek revenge, are you willing to release him? ”

Listening to Li Qinglu's quick words, Tuoba Ye felt that it was a little unlikely. But he looked at Zhao Xiaoxi very longingly, hoping that this king of Bashu County could give him a little hope. Let's get the Tuoba jade back first!

As for the future, he can't care so much. At least Tuoba Ye knew that if the marriage between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty was successful, there would be no dispute between the two countries in a short time. With this time, it is almost possible to make Tuoba Yu ascend to the throne end.

Regarding Li Qinglu's inquiry, Zhao Xiaoxi did not express his position, and seemed to be silent. Li Qianshun, who knew that the iron was hot, quickly smiled and said: "King of Bashu County, the current situation, I believe you also have this account in your heart."

Last year's incident, although it was said that Xixia accidentally crossed the border first, but after all, it was all in the past. Now that the Xia and Song dynasties have formed an alliance, coupled with the matter between the prince and the little girl, it is presumable that our two countries will join forces to fight against Da Liao in the future.

The Tuoba tribe has always been the main force of the country against the Great Liao. Whether it is stable or not has a direct bearing on the stability of the borders. Therefore, from the standpoint of allies, Yu'er's return is good for both countries.

Doesn't your Great Song often say that it is better to settle a grievance than to settle it? Last year we just had a misunderstanding, but now we are about to become a family. Can you release my nephew who is not a good man in the interests of both countries? ”

With Li Qianshun's addition to the vinegar, Zhao Xiaoxi finally nodded and said: "What the lord said is not unreasonable. It's just that there are some things that can't be said without evidence. In this way, the king can promise to have people send him to the Western Xia Imperial City.

It's just that what this king wants to say is that if the Tuoba tribe and the Western Xia are halfway through, they will also do something to intercept people. This king promises that you will never get a living Tuoba jade. As for what the time will be, it depends on Tuoba Yu's attitude. How is it? ”

Hearing that Zhao Xiaoxi was willing to bring Tuoba Yu back to Western Xia, Tuoba Ye immediately said: "It should be!" OK! ”

For him, what he wants now is to be able to see the living Tuoba jade. Let's see if this former Tuoba Eagle is as healthy as ever. If Tuoba Jade is abolished, then the Tuoba tribe is only afraid that it will be selected as another meritorious.

With Tuoba Ye's consent, Zhao Xiaoxi finally said: "Actually, General Tuoba should know that when the two armies fight, it is a scene of life and death. This king spared his life, and he has already given you a lot of face for the Tuoba tribe.

If it weren't for Her Royal Highness the Princess's intercession, the king would not have considered letting him back. But in order to reassure everyone, this king will also put forward some conditions at that time, which can prove that the Tuoba tribe is really harmless to the Great Song Dynasty.

As for what the conditions, when the king remembers, he will naturally inform General Tuoba. Of course, General Tuoba doesn't have to worry, the king's guards are really on the way to the imperial city. When the time comes, Tuoba Jade will come with them.

In short, this king has released goodwill and sincerity, as for General Tuoba and Western Xia, can they show the same sincerity. It's up to us to see how our cooperation goes! ”

After saying these words of exchange of interests, Li Qianshun felt that this condition would not be too simple. But it is also clear that the biggest key is to let Zhao Xiaoxi send Tuoba Yu back now.

To maintain his dominance in Western Xia, he must also have some tribes loyal to the royal family. And the Tuoba tribe in front of him is undoubtedly the tribe he hopes to woo. Rescuing Tuoba Jade can also show his favor to the Tuoba tribe! (To be continued......)
