At the end of the son-in-law competition, the contestants from all over the world were ready to leave for their homeland, and Emperor Suyan set up a banquet in the palace to see off the contestants in order to express his gratitude.

The main hall is singing and dancing, and everyone is changing glasses and lamps.

"You are all the pillars of the world, I and the imperial sister are very grateful to be able to take the time to participate in the competition this time, and I would like to give you a glass on behalf of the imperial sister." Fang Jinyue raised his glass at the right time.

Everyone toasted together and thanked them.

"I heard that His Majesty King Mo is already preparing for his return trip?" Fang Jinyue asked.

"Su Yan's people are simple and hospitable, and Lone also wants to stay more time to feel it, but this trip has exceeded the estimated time for a long time, and it can't be delayed, so Lone plans to leave for China in three days." Xuan Yan sat down and gave way.

"Taishi Ling presented a few auspicious days yesterday, I look at the twentieth of next month is good, if His Majesty King Mo is not in a hurry, it is not too late to wait for the royal sister to get married." Fang Jinyue said.

"I have been lonely from the country for a long time, and I can't afford to delay it, I can't participate in the eldest princess's wedding, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." Xuan Yan said.

"It doesn't matter, state affairs are the top priority, His Majesty King Mo is the people of the Western Desert, and I also admire it in my heart, so I will not leave His Majesty King Mo." Fang Jinyue said.

"There are some famous and lonely products in Lone's hands, I thought ......" Xuan Yan said, his face was lonely, he paused, and continued, "Lone can't attend the eldest princess's wedding in person, I'm deeply sorry, it's better to give these calligraphy and paintings to the eldest princess as a gift, congratulations to the eldest princess's wedding, this is also a little bit of Lone's heart." ”

"Since it is the intention of His Majesty King Mo, I will temporarily thank His Majesty King Mo on behalf of the royal sister." Fang Jinyue nodded and smiled.

Xuan Yan glanced at the attendant behind him, and the attendant walked out of the main hall, and after a short time, he brought more than ten big men with four mahogany boxes into the hall.

"Eldest princess, this is a little bit of Lone's heart, please don't dislike it, eldest princess." While Xuan Yan was talking, the big man who carried the box into the hall had already opened the mahogany box, and picked up a few calligraphy and paintings at random and spread them on the main hall.

His unfolding, immediately caused a heated discussion, these are the ancient and modern famous calligraphy and painting, among which there are many lost more than ten years of master pen works, in the market are some valuable treasures, His Majesty the King of the Desert is really generous.

"This is too precious, Guichen can't accept it." Lime hurriedly excused herself.

"Eldest princess, don't shirk it, this is prepared for you by Lonely, and if it can be given to you, it doesn't violate your original intention." Xuan Yan's expression was slightly lonely, but there was a little emotion lingering in his eyes when he looked at the lime.

Didn't go against the original intention? So what was the original intention? As a dowry? As soon as Qiu Chulin thought of this, his heart suddenly became sullen, "Ning'er, she has always been thin-skinned, and she is embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift from others, but she will be her concubine, so naturally she can't let her refute His Majesty King Mo's wishes." In this way, His Majesty King Mo's gift, Ben will take it for the eldest princess, Your Majesty Mo Wang, please rest assured, Ben will take good care of it for the princess. ”

The word "others", the speaker has the meaning of the speaker, and the listener has the understanding of the listener, Qiu Chulin's words to declare sovereignty like this have an ironic meaning in Xuan Yan's ears.

"Lone remembers that when General Qiu first arrived in the main hall, he came to propose to the eldest princess. The eldest princess is talented and noble, General Qiu has come here thousands of miles to propose marriage, presumably she must have come prepared, I wonder if you are lucky enough to be able to see the dowry prepared by General Qiu for the eldest princess? Xuan Yan smiled on his face, but his heart was already occupied by hatred, he was born as a noble prince, and no one had ever been so disrespectful to him!

The dowry he prepared for the eldest princess was a peerless and unique product collected by the whole country, and he wanted to see what this General Qiu had prepared!

Qiu Chulin didn't refuse, he happily took out an ice jade tube from his arms, held it up with one hand and said, "This is the dowry that Shuo Chu prepared for the eldest princess." ”

"Oh? I wonder what this is? Xuan Yan said, his face was already showing disdain, although this ice jade cylinder itself has some value, but it is not a treasure, besides, such a small jade cylinder, what valuable things can be contained in it.

Fang Jinyue, who was sitting on the main seat, sensitively captured the word "Shuo Chu".

"Since it is a dowry for the eldest princess, then the eldest princess will open it." Qiu Chulin smiled and turned to Lime.

Lime looked at the jade cylinder in his hand, and always felt a little familiar, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered that this should be the thing he was holding in his hand on the day he came to propose.

Lime got up and came to Qiu Chulin's side, took the ice jade tube and looked at it carefully, not to mention the people in the hall, Lime himself was also very curious about what was hidden in this small ice jade tube?

"Then I'll open the ......" Lime looked at Qiu Chulin, then turned to look at Fang Jinyue, and only after getting her brother's nod of approval did she carefully open the ice jade tube.

Qiu Chulin couldn't help but chuckle when he looked at her expectant appearance.

Lime opened the ice jade tube and took out the parchment roll placed in it, she only opened a corner to know what it was, she hurriedly closed the corner, and raised her head in surprise, "Childe...... This...... This is absolutely unacceptable! ”

With this as an appointment, how could the court of Yan Qiyang and Shuo Chu let him go!

"If I want to marry you, I will give you the best." Qiu Chulin raised his hand to soothe her tightly locked eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "This is what I mean, and it is also what my father-in-law meant, it is Shuo Chu's gift for you, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Lime nodded suspiciously, but her heart was still uneasy, she put the parchment roll back into the ice jade tube, called the big eunuch, and presented it to her brother.

After all, Fang Jinyue is a person who has experienced the battlefield, and as soon as Fang Lime took out the parchment roll, he recognized it, which was the map of Lu and Wan provinces that he failed to recover when he went to the border to recover the lost territory.

Qiu Chulin's move was to return these two provinces to Su Yan as a dowry gift.

"General Qiu, you just said that this is the dowry that Shuo Chu prepared for the imperial sister?" Fang Jinyue asked after carefully inspecting it.

"Yes." Qiu Chulin said.

"With Lu and Wan provinces as the hires, it seems that Shuo Chu attaches great importance to the family affairs of the general and the imperial sister." Fang Jinyue said.

When Xuan Yan heard this, his face became surprisingly ugly.

The hall was in an uproar, and it was unheard of to hire the country, and Shuo Chu's move like this could not be said to be a big deal! Where can this be compared to a few ancient paintings!

"This is not only a dowry, but also a salute for my Shuo Chu to share peace with Su Yan." Qiu Chulin arched his hand.

"I Su Yan people are simple, I have always loved peace, I don't like war, Shuo Chu has the intention of maintaining peace with me Su Yan, I and the people are happy to accept it, but ......" Fang Jinyue's words changed, a cold light shot out of his eyes, and his tone became sharp, "The relationship between the general and the imperial sister is not a harmonious relationship, and the imperial sister is not married to Shuochu as a princess." The reason why I agreed to marry the royal sister to you is not only because you won the competition, but also because of your character and your affection for the imperial sister. General, I have entrusted the imperial sister to you, can you love her, protect her, and stay with her, even if the two countries go to war with Japan, you will never hurt a hair of her! ”

"I swear here, for the rest of my life, for eternity, to marry her alone, to love her, protect her, respect her, and stay with her, even if the two countries go to war, I will never allow anyone to hurt her in the slightest." Qiu Chulin said loudly, "If you violate this oath, you will not be a human again!" ”

"Good!" Fang Jinyue clapped his hands and applauded, he raised his glass and said loudly, "General, this cup, I respect you!" ”

"Your Majesty, please!" Qiu Chulin took the wine that the eunuch poured for him, and drank it all together with Fang Jinyue.

Qiu Chulin's oath was resolute, and when he heard it, Lime's heart throbbed, Lime had never felt so sorry for someone, as if he had lost himself, and he couldn't pay back his love.

"Ling'er, Fang is Shuo Chu's dowry for you, and this is what I prepared for you." Qiu Chulin said, took out a bottle from his bosom and handed it to the lime.

It was the bottle she used when she gave him the wound medicine outside the autumn of that year, and Lime took it, feeling very heavy, and couldn't help but raise her head to look at him again, but inadvertently saw the roots of his ears that had been burned red.

Lime hung her head, and her face turned red.

"Open it and take a look." Qiu Chulin couldn't help but urge, he was looking forward to her reaction.

Lime shook it in her ear curiously, only to hear a few muffled noises from inside the bottle, and she opened the cork to find that the mouth of the bottle had been modified and made larger. She held the bottle in one hand and poured it gently, and several copper coins that had been broken in half with her bare hands fell into her palm.

When Tongcheng met three years ago, he gave her such a half copper coin.

The half copper coin was the basis for her later plans to enter Shuochu without fear, and it was her talisman.

The words he had said back then rang in her ears as if they had happened yesterday......

"The girl's great grace, there is no retribution in the next, if the girl needs to be in the next place, please take this copper coin to Shuochu Chu'an City, tie this copper coin to the wrist, and someone will contact the girl."

It's strange to say, she forgot many things, some of which were vague even if she remembered, but when Kiritsu first met him, his gentle and decisive voice that was different from the philistine was engraved in the bottom of her heart, lingering.

Lime laughed out loud, and she hurriedly put the copper coin back into the bottle, and held the bottle tightly in her arms, and said coquettishly, "They are mine now, and you are not allowed to go back!" ”

"If you like it." Qiu Chulin couldn't help laughing when he saw that she liked it, but he didn't realize that his ears were already red.

"What is it that makes the royal sister so happy?" Fang Jinyue rarely saw Lime exuding such a delicate appearance of a daughter's family, and she couldn't help but be curious about the bottle.

"It's a promise full of bottles." Lime thought for a moment and said seriously.

Fang Jinyue didn't understand the riddle between the two, so she smiled helplessly and said, "It's rare that you like it, just be happy." ”

The banquet was coming to an end, and Lime was tired and ready to leave the main hall first, when he met the eunuch outside the hall and hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, Ke Zhifeng, the city lord of Xiaoyue City, is coming to visit, and he is now waiting outside the palace gate." ”

The young city lord of Xiaoyue City had already spread the news of the attempted assassination of the eldest princess the day before yesterday all over the capital, and this time the city lord Ke Zhifeng visited in person, so he didn't have to think about it to know what was going on.

"Then bother the City Lord to wait, I am busy and have no time to receive it." Fang Jinyue drank the wine in the cup and commanded calmly.

This time, everyone clearly understood that Emperor Suyan's reverse scales were not easy to touch, otherwise he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die.
