Chapter Seventy-Four: Yunxi Dowry
After Gao Yan finished reading all the letters, he was stunned for a while, he didn't know what to say, he felt this way when he faced Yunxi many times, after all, he knew in his heart that he owed Yunxi too much.
After Yunxi saw Gao Yan's reaction, he knew what he was thinking, and then said: "I'm showing you this, but it's not to make you grateful to me, and you don't need to feel guilty in your heart, I just want to tell you that my father has actually been urging you to marry each other, so this time my imperial brother sent an envoy to Northern Qi, and I guessed in my heart that my father must be urging you and me to get married as soon as possible." ”
"So even if there is no assassin matter, I think my father will eventually send the imperial brother to the Northern Qi Dynasty, but I just need to find a suitable reason."
Gao Yan heard Yunxi's analysis, and suddenly realized that Yunxi was no longer the little girl who didn't know the world at the beginning, no matter the tone and way of speaking, she had a bit of a questioning look.
Gao Yan understood that Yunxi's character was also very strong, so he didn't need his gratitude and sympathy due to guilt, so Gao Yan didn't say anything, just for Yunxi's next plan.
"Well, it's just that what should we do next...", Gao Yan said halfway through his words, and then took it back, because he really didn't want to trouble Yunxi anymore.
Yunxi knew what Gao Yan was going to say in his heart, and then followed his words and said: "Don't worry, the imperial brother has watched me grow up, in addition to my father in the palace, the imperial brother favors me the most, if I don't want to marry, the imperial brother will not force me, so you don't have to worry too much!" ”
"Yunxi, this time may not be so easy, you also know that the marriage between us is a political marriage, and it can be delayed for so long because the diplomatic relations between the Northern Qi and the Southern Tang Dynasty have always been very good, but the matter of your and my big marriage is now known to the whole world, if it drags on, it will not only affect your reputation, but also make the Southern Tang lose face, so this time no matter what, our marriage will be decided, and this matter is no longer up to us." , Gao Yan said immediately.
"No, there must be room for things to turn around, I know that you are still thinking about asking Sister Jin in your heart, so I will not marry you, and I Li Yunxi will never be strong." , Yunxi said categorically.
Gao Yan was also very helpless in his heart, although he was the prince of a country, but there was nothing he could do about this matter, so he could only comfort Yunxi's emotions for the time being, "I understand your intentions, all of this is our speculation, as for the purpose of your imperial brother's visit this time, it is still unknown." Maybe we're worrying about it. ”
Yunxi was unmoved, because she was no longer the little girl who needed protection before, she didn't need this useless comfort, what she needed was a solution to the problem.
"Well, I know, you go back first, I want to be alone!" , Yunxi said coldly.
Gao Yan then left Yonghua Palace, at this time he was indeed a little depressed in his heart, he didn't want to go anywhere, he wanted to find someone to drink, but in this huge deep palace, there was no one to accompany him to have a hangover.
This is the time he lamented that he was born in the emperor's family, he has followed Gao Yi since he was a child, in fact, he knows the emperor's art well, but it is easier said than done, although he understands this, but when he really needs him to practice, he can't let go of his hands and feet.
He can't deceive his heart, he can't swing his sword to cut off the love thread, he can't get rid of the identity of the prince of Northern Qi, and he can't immediately become iron-blooded and ruthless, so he can only endure the torment...
The next day, Li Yuqi, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, had already arrived in Yecheng, Gao Yan and Yunxi were waiting outside the city together, Yunxi hadn't seen his brother for a long time, and he was naturally very happy in his heart.
Then he stepped forward quickly and walked to Li Yuqi's side, Li Yuqi took a good look at Yunxi, "Father heard that you encountered an assassin in Northern Qi, although it is just a rumor, but my father is very worried, so he ordered me to immediately send an envoy to Northern Qi to ensure your safety!" ”
"You said it was a rumor, how could something happen to me? You see I'm not good, I've been living in Yonghua Palace for more than a year, everything is fine here, please go back and tell my father that I'm okay here. Yunxi said with a smile.
"Well, I know, you haven't married yet, your heart is so towards each other, and if you get married later, you don't know what it will become?" When Li Yuqi spoke, he lightly tapped Yunxi's forehead with his fingers.
"Brother Huang, don't make fun of me, let me introduce you to you, this is Gao Yan, the prince of Northern Qi!" , Yunxi said as he pulled Li Yuqi to Gao Yan's side.
"I have long heard that the prince of Northern Qi has an extraordinary bearing and dignified appearance, and today I saw it really extraordinary, it seems that my father's vision is excellent, and the husband chosen for Yunxi is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people." , Li Yuqi said with a smile.
"Brother Yuqi praised it falsely, but Brother Yuqi, you have a dignified body, outstanding talents, a pair of eyes that shoot cold stars, and there is dignity and arrogance between your eyebrows, but you are the dragon among people!" , Gao Yan said immediately.
Yun Xi was on the side, watching the two of them keep talking politely, and then interrupted them, "Okay, don't praise each other for the two of you, let's hurry into the palace to see Your Majesty!" ”
The two nodded and praised, and then the three of them were like palace saints together, Li Yuqi brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry this time, as well as some local specialties and treasures, Gao Yi understood the purpose of Li Yuqi's mission after seeing it.
These jewels and ornaments are obviously Princess Yunxi's dowry, and Li Yuqi must have come for Yunxi's marriage this time. So after Gao Yi saw the gift list, he said directly:
"Yu Qixian's nephew, the Southern Tang Dynasty and my Northern Qi have always applauded, and this time you personally sent the Northern Qi Mission, which has already demonstrated the sincerity of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Now that such a big gift is given, I will definitely not accept it, unless these are all sent in the name of Yunxi's dowry, then I am happy to accept it! ”
After Gao Yi finished speaking, Yunxi and Gao Yan both looked nervous, and glanced at each other, but Li Yuqi smiled and said: "I really can't hide anything from Your Majesty, this time my father sent Yuqi to Northern Qi for Yunxi's marriage, and these gifts are indeed the dowry prepared by my father for Yunxi!" ”
"Brother Huang...", before Yunxi finished speaking, Li Yuqi interrupted her, and then continued: "Yunxi has been in Northern Qi for more than a year, but he has not yet gotten married, which is also to blame Yunxi for being too willful, always relying on his own temperament, which has caused the marriage to be delayed until now." This time, Yuqi sent an envoy to Northern Qi, and he must see Yunxi's wedding with his own eyes, so that he can return with peace of mind, and it can be regarded as an explanation to his father! ”
