To be on the safe side, the prime man changed his residence as soon as he saw off the Kaman envoy, and although he thought that the possibility of the Kaman betraying himself was almost non-existent, it was not in his disposition to let the ill-intentioned opponent know his whereabouts, and he would rather put in a little more effort.

Looking out the window at the dark night, the middle-aged man's mind fell to the south again. It seems that the gang in the south has also been quite active recently, otherwise the junior brother would not have been without news for so long, but he is also full of confidence in his junior brother, with years of experience and his extraordinary ability, he believes that he can handle the affairs of the south well. Qiankun Road?

What kind of organization is this? Is it a secret society with the same goal as the Holy Sect to overthrow the rule of the Great Qin Empire, or is it the spokesperson of some foreign forces? I really want to see how these people can compete with the forces of the Holy Sect in the south!

Qin Dui was personally given a banquet by the emperor Xià immediately caused an uproar in the court, and even several concubines also participated in the banquet, which is a rare encounter for many years, and now even a fool has figured out the holy will of the emperor's majesty, and another concubine is about to be produced! Moreover, he was a big celebrity who was in charge of the military and political power in the northwest and northern Loulan regions of the empire, and this news immediately caused a sensation in the upper class of the empire.

The nobles and ministers of all parties consulted each other one after another, asking how successful this matter was, because it was almost an open secret that the eldest princess of the empire had a deep dislike for Qin Dui, and the eldest princess openly expressed her contempt for Qin Du on several public occasions, and the marriage of the eldest princess had been widely circulated in the imperial high society a few years ago.

Because the only request made by Zhao Zirou at the coming-of-age ceremony at that time was that the marriage should be decided by herself, and His Majesty the Emperor also readily accepted her strange request, and now there is such a turmoil, could it be that this is just a smokescreen? With the identity of the eldest princess, her appearance and talent, it is really a match made in heaven to match Qin Duan. But it's a pity that the eldest princess is not interested in this Lord Li, this is really a knot that is difficult to untie.

Soon there was news in the harem that the princess of Duke Qin Dui, who was married to the Northwest Military and Political Festival Envoy and the Governor of North Loulan, was likely to be the seventeenth princess Zhao Yutang, who was three years younger than the eldest princess. Intelligent, although he is not very old, he is very decent, and he is very popular with people in the palace, and his evaluation is also very good.

But immediately an insider retorted that when the third prince of the Doton Kingdom went to the imperial capital to meet the emperor Xià last year, he saw the seventeenth princess, and was shocked, and immediately asked the foreign affairs etiquette personnel of his country to propose to the empire. But he didn't say death, he just said that he would think about it when the seventeenth princess became an adult.

The third prince of the Doton Kingdom has never given up, determined to marry a beautiful woman, and has come to the imperial capital three times to stay in just half a year. You must know that although the third prince of the Kingdom of Doton is not the crown prince, if this marriage can be formed, it will definitely greatly promote the further development of relations between the two countries, and it will also be of great help to improve the increasingly severe northern shape of the empire. Therefore, many officials in the court supported the marriage.

Then there was gossip that His Majesty the Emperor intended to marry the eighteenth princess Zhao Yuzhen, but it was immediately refuted by many people. The reason is that although the eighteenth princess is the same age as the seventeenth princess, she is not inferior to the seventeenth princess even in terms of appearance and literary talent. But the identities are very different, and the eighteen princesses have never been loved by the emperor. If the eighteenth princess is married to Qin Du, it may arouse the dissatisfaction of the people in the northwest and northern Loulan regions.

Because the mother of the eighteenth princess was originally a red singer in the imperial capital, in the early years, the emperor Xià had a dewy relationship with her during a private visit to Weifu, who knew that when the palace deacon made routine records, he found that this red singer was actually pregnant with a dragon seed. So he had to take him into the palace and canonize him as an ordinary concubine. At the beginning, His Majesty the Emperor was still attracted by his glamorous style, but later gradually fell out of favor, and because of his humble background. Even the eighteen princesses were not loved by the emperor.

Finally, there was another piece of gossip circulating among the nobles, saying that in view of the fact that there was no suitable princess to marry in the palace at present, His Majesty the Emperor discussed with the concubines in the palace that he intended to select a girl with outstanding conditions from the noble children of the imperial capital, including the imperial family, to be accepted by the Emperor as his goddaughter, and then married to Qin Du.

The sensation and controversy caused by this news in the upper class of the empire far exceeded the previous ones, and many nobles and princes immediately took action to inquire about the accuracy of this news, and some even suggested that even if the emperor did not have such intentions before, he had to find a way to make the emperor consider the feasibility of this plan.

Just when the entire imperial capital was in a mess of high society, the parties involved in time were still enjoying a happy life leisurely without noticing. It's the end of the year, and the street vendors are still shouting and trying to sell their goods at the end of the year, and many shops on the streets have closed early to prepare for the new year. The sound of firecrackers came and went, and the children got the New Year's money from their elders and began to extravagantly squander the annual generosity.

All households have hung up all kinds of lanterns of different styles, and the entire imperial capital is shrouded in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere at this moment.

Qin Dui's mansion is also very lively, although it has not been long since it moved in, with the efforts of the subordinates, the entire mansion has already been cleaned, under the auspices of Charlotte and Wei Xianxian, in addition to the guards on normal duty, the other guards have also been pulled in, acting as free labor, and happily arranged.

Charlotte even cooked the dishes herself, preparing a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the New Year's Eve. It's just that Master Li was too injured the night before, and he has not recovered yet, and it is a little difficult to even walk, so he has to sit in the lobby and direct everyone to be busy, preparing to celebrate the most important festival of the Great Qin people.

At this moment, Qin Du was rarely leisurely for half a day, quietly sitting in the study and thinking for a long time.

Another year has passed, but the shape is not a little relaxed, the matter of being trapped in the imperial capital has been as foregone conclusion, although outsiders can't see anything, but they can no longer understand that if there is no major change in this, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not agree to take half a step out of the imperial capital.
