Chapter Seventy-Three: The Prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty
However, Gao Yan knew in his heart that whether it was done by Beiyan or not, he was now facing a big problem, that is, when Li Houzhao knew the news of Yunxi's assassination, he would definitely send someone to envoy to Northern Qi, so his wedding with Yunxi would be unavoidable.
This is a very tricky question for him, he doesn't want to marry Yunxi in his heart, but this is not something he and Yunxi can decide, after all, it involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Gao Yan suddenly felt ridiculous at this time, the secret game between the big countries actually took advantage of his marriage with Yunxi, he really felt that it was too ridiculous.
Wen Jin saw Gao Yan's thoughts on the side, but she couldn't help in this matter, after all, her situation in Northern Qi was also very embarrassing, and the reason why she was able to make a deal with Gao Yi before was because Gao Yi knew in his heart that Gao Yan and Yunxi didn't want to get married at the moment, so he agreed to postpone the wedding.
But if the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty arrived in the Northern Qi Dynasty, then everything could not be changed, after all, Yunxi had been in the Northern Qi for more than a year, if he didn't get married, he was afraid that he would be ridiculed by the world, so Li Houzhao did not allow this marriage to be delayed for the sake of himself and Yunxi's face.
However, Wen Jin still comforted Gao Yan with a few words, "All this is still our speculation, as for how things will develop in the future, we still need to wait and see what happens!" ”
"You don't have to comfort me, I know that I will definitely not be able to escape this political marriage this time, in fact, Yunxi hates political marriages like me, but we will eventually fall victim to political marriages." , Gao Yan said a little angrily and helplessly
"Actually, it's not entirely like this, although you are a political marriage, but Yunxi is sincere to you, you should try to accept him, in fact, you will still be very happy in the future!" , asked Jin Ben didn't want to say it, but finally said it.
After Gao Yan heard this, his eyes kept staring at Wen Jin, with a hint of chill and grievance in his eyes, "You know that the person in my heart is you, how do you let me accept Yunxi, I don't want to deceive Yunxi, let alone deceive myself!" ”
After finishing speaking, Gao Yan pressed step by step, Wen Jin immediately retreated step by step, and finally Wen Jin was forced to lean against the wall, Gao Yan saw that he was getting closer and closer, and Wen Jin had no way to retreat, Wen Jin's face was red at this time, and her heartbeat accelerated a lot, she had never felt like this.
Wen Jin was a little afraid to look at Gao Yan's eyes, and then Gao Yan suddenly left with a smile, Wen Jin didn't know what Gao Yan was laughing at, but she thought back to what she looked like just now, and it was indeed a little too cowardly.
She usually gives people the impression of a high-spirited and majestic female general, even if she faces tens of millions of enemy troops on the battlefield, she has never been afraid, but just now in front of Gao Yan, her heart beat faster, not like a female general, but like a little girl who has nothing to do.
Wen Jin has always been reluctant to think back to what happened just now, but Gao Yan was on the way to the East Palace at this time, but he was full of spring, because he actually saw Wen Jin's shy side, he had never seen Wen Jin's appearance just now, especially after the last defeat of Wen Jin, he has always been cold and cautious, and even a smile is rare, let alone the coquettish appearance just now.
However, as soon as he returned to the East Palace, he was summoned by Gao Yi, and what happened next made him unhappy.
Because the time to come is still here after all, after Gao Yan arrived at the main hall, he found that Yunxi was also waiting on the side, and Gao Yan knew that maybe what he was most worried about was about to happen.
"Yan'er, I just received the letter of state from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and recently the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yuqi, will send an envoy to the Northern Qi, but in the letter, there is no mention of what happened, this time you and Yunxi are responsible for receiving the crown prince Li Yuqi, remember not to neglect the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty." , Gao Yi didn't have any intention of negotiating, it was completely an order tone.
"Erchen obeys the order, please rest assured that the son-in-law will definitely entertain the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty!" , Gao Yan also knew in his heart that he had to come forward in this matter, and it was impossible to shirk it, so it was better to agree directly.
"Well, you can rest assured!" After finishing speaking, he turned towards Yunxi, "Princess Yunxi, you have lived in the Floating Cloud Palace for more than a year, you must miss your father and brother, this time your imperial brother personally sent an envoy to Northern Qi, you can also catch up with the past!" ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your compassion, Yunxi really misses his father and brother, this time the imperial brother sent to Northern Qi, please rest assured, I will assist Gao Yan to receive the imperial brother together, and I will never make the imperial brother too embarrassed Gao Yan!" , Yunxi also understood that Gao Yi didn't really care about her, but wanted her to assist Gao Yan and stabilize the diplomatic relations between Northern Qi and Southern Tang.
After hearing this, Gao Yi immediately laughed, "Yunxi, you are really sensible, Gao Yan can marry a wife like you, not only for him alone, but also for my Northern Qi!" ”
"Your Majesty praised it falsely, Yunxi is just doing his own thing!" After finishing speaking, she and Gao Yan retreated.
Gao Yan was very grateful throughout the whole process, everything Yunxi said in the hall just now, he wanted to thank Yunxi, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yunxi.
"Okay, I know what you're going to say, I'm not doing all this for you, I'm thinking about the people of the Southern Tang and Northern Qi countries, if the Southern Tang and Northern Qi go to war, it will only be the people of the two countries who will suffer!" , Yunxi said with a serious face.
Gao Yan understood what Yunxi meant in his heart, Yunxi has always been this kind of character, and he doesn't like others to be too polite to him, so even after helping others, he doesn't want to listen to too many words of thanks.
So Gao Yan also put away what he wanted to say, but there was one thing, he had to inform Yunxi, that is, the purpose of Li Yuqi's trip to Northern Qi.
Then Gao Yan briefly told Yunxi that he and Wen Jin had investigated the assassin before, and also told Yunxi that the main purpose of Li Yuqi's envoy to Northern Qi this time was to promote the marriage between the two of them.
After listening to this, Yunxi did not have any surprised expression, which was beyond Gao Yan's expectations, and then Yunxi asked Gao Yan to go to Yonghua Palace with her, she had something to show Gao Yan.
After arriving, Yunxi took out a lot of letters, and then showed them to Gao Yan, after Gao Yan read them, he found that these letters were all written by Li Houzhao to Yunxi, except for daily care, the rest of the content is urging Yunxi to get married quickly.
However, Yunxi finally gave it down, and every time she replied to Yunxi, she said that Beiqi had prepared everything, but she didn't want to get married yet, and she still needed time to adapt to the living habits in the Beiqi Palace, and then put the marriage on hold for the time being.
Gao Yan only then realized that Yunxi had silently borne so much for him, and he felt guilty in his heart, as a man and as the prince of a country, he had let a woman bear all the pressure, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.
