Above the court, the four seats were all sitting upright, and the current saint was leaning on the chair, staring sharply at the several foreign envoys who were standing under the stage.

"What is the purpose of Qing coming to my Celestial Empire now?" The emperor played with the string of beads in his hand, and the sound of the jade beads being plucked was particularly piercing in the dead silence of the court.

The envoy dressed in bells and whistles under the stage did not feel the solemn atmosphere of the court at all, and still smiled: "The minister came from Yanjing Kingdom, I heard that Chu Xinying, the eighth prince of the Celestial Dynasty, rushed to the northwest for disaster relief recently, and the merits were obtained, and the lord of Yanjing Kingdom was amazed by the talent of the eighth prince, and specially sent his ministers to come all the way to the Celestial Empire, just for the marriage of our princess." As he spoke, he presented a picture scroll with both hands.

The emperor's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and motioned to the eunuch standing on the side to take the scroll. The eyes of the woman on the picture scroll are full of affection, and there is some pungent and unconcealed straightforwardness in her eyes, wrapped in a red dress, outlining a graceful figure, although she is holding a horse whip in her hand, and she looks like a horse trainer with a slight eyebrow, but the flamboyant smile at the corner of her mouth is something that a woman in the Celestial Empire can't have.

"Good!" The emperor closed the scroll with a wave of his hand and laughed twice, "If our marriage is successful, the Celestial Empire is willing to give two cities, and five hundred taels of gold and silver each as a bride price to Yanjingguo." ”

When the messengers heard this, they were all overjoyed. But then he was interrupted by the emperor: "But after all, this is the marriage of my son Xingze, although the words of Gu Youyun's parents and the order of the matchmaker, I still have to listen to the opinions of the eighth prince himself, right?" As he spoke, he set his eyes on the Eighth Prince, who had not looked good since just now.

When Chu Xinying heard this, he rushed out of the minister's seat with an arrow step, standing alone in the center of the court, his thin lips pursed slightly and seemed to be a little embarrassed, his sword eyebrows were tightly locked, and the eyes of the slightly raised Danfeng flashed, and his white and handsome face was covered with dark clouds.

"Father, the princess of Yanjing Kingdom is talented and intelligent, and she is very good at kung fu, but her sons are not worthy of her. Besides, Erchen now has a wife, Qin Xuechu, if the princess marries Erchen, she can only be a concubine, which is really not in line with the status of the princess, please forgive Erchen for not being able to agree to this marriage. ”

Chu Xinying's head was slightly lowered, he seemed to have felt the surprised gazes of the other ministers, those eyes pierced him like a man's back, but he couldn't make his tense back bend down half a minute, the whole person was still standing there straight, with a firm and slightly sharp gaze looking straight at the man sitting on the dragon chair, his father, who was also the emperor in power today.

The emperor bowed slightly, waved his hand to signal Chu Xinying to retreat, and the other party bowed and withdrew from the court.

"You have also seen that my youngest son is not a man who is bound by rules, and if he insists on marrying, it must be inappropriate for both the princess and my son, and besides, you all know that this An family is not an idle person, and I can't do anything about it. Although this marriage failed, I am willing to reach a friendly relationship with Yanjing, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will visit Yanjing and have a good time with the lord of the country.

The corners of the emperor's mouth hooked slightly, but his expression was undeniably majestic.

Hearing that the Eighth Prince and the Emperor were so resolute, the envoy couldn't say anything, so he had to play haha, and the matter was over.

Chu Xinying walked out of the Qianqing Palace quickly and prepared to go back to the dormitory to rest for a while, the fight with the assassins under the queen really consumed a lot of his physical strength, and it was inevitable that he would be injured by the knives and guns that greeted him during the fight, he endured the pain and returned to the dormitory, and as soon as he pushed open the door of the house, the name he called out of his mouth choked in his throat.

What caught her eye was not Qin Xuechu's arrogant and domineering appearance, a strange woman was sitting at the table drinking tea slowly, and when she saw Chu Xinying, who was tense up instantly, she just smiled slightly, and then bowed her head slightly.

"You are the Eighth Prince Chu Xinying, my future husband?" The woman put the teacup in her hand on the table with a "snap", and looked at the thin man opposite with a pair of peach blossom eyes, "I heard that you were stupid, but now it seems that the rumors may not be true." ”

She frowned slightly, circled around Chu Xinying, carefully looked the other party's clothes up and down, a faint smell of blood lingered on the tip of her nose, and Yun Jinjia raised her eyebrows.

When Chu Xinying heard this, her tense expression relaxed a little, and she sighed slightly: "It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess, forgive me for not knowing Mount Tai with my eyes, I can't afford the word husband." ”

"Ah, that's what I said. You should already know, I guess it won't be two days before our wedding will be held, but I don't know when I will have the opportunity to go back to Yanjing, this capital is not more fun than Yanjing, and it will ...... then."

Before Yun Jinjia could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold voice.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please forgive me for saying that I have rejected this marriage in front of the envoy and the emperor in the court, and this matter has come to an end."

Chu Xinying stared at this princess who had the same arrogance as Qin Xuechu, and felt that the wound on her arm began to bleed slightly, and the pain of tearing spread.

Yun Jinjia watched Chu Xinying's arm gradually get wet, and the other party's forehead was also sweating, and poured him a cup of tea and motioned for him to sit down and chat with him.

"Why, do you think I'm not worthy of you? Isn't it possible for my dignified princess of Yanjing to marry you, the once stupid prince? ”

"Not really, Your Highness." Chu Xinying explained, "It's not a secret, I've already married a wife." And her background is also very prominent and Her Royal Highness the princess is no different, as the saying goes, one mountain does not allow two tigers, I can't give two women the same name at the same time, Her Royal Highness the princess married me is just a concubine, and the princess's identity is really not equal. Besides, the princess has a noble status, and if she is a star, she is not worthy of a princess. ”

Yun Jin Jia looked at Chu Xinying opposite steadily, and found that the other party's eyes were full of sincerity and firmness, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.

But she likes the sword to go sideways, just like when hunting, she likes to chase the fastest prey that runs, Yun Jinjia squinted her eyes slightly, and looked back and forth at Chu Xinying with interest.

"Don't call me Her Royal Highness the Princess, it sounds too raw. My name is Yun Jinjia. She bowed her head slightly, lowered her eyes to look at the broken tea leaves floating in the teacup, "You say you're not worthy of me?" It's just some excuses, I ask you, how much true affection do you have for your wife? ”

Seeing that Chu Xinying was about to open her mouth to refute, Yun Jinjia waved her hand to stop, "Who said that you can decide the marriage alone?" I think you're a good match for me. I will also try to get you to agree to this marriage, and even if it doesn't work out, I don't want to miss out on a friend like you. ”

Chu Xinying chuckled, feeling the warm liquid on his arm gushing out continuously, he subconsciously covered the source of the pain, and a trace of pain passed through his eyes.

Yun Jinjia watched Chu Xinying's painful expression, smiled helplessly, and then couldn't help but pull Chu Xinying's arm, the satin fabric was already soaked, and even Yun Jinjia felt that her hands were soaked.

"Got a knife, right?" Yun Jinjia raised her eyes and saw Chu Xinying's surprised gaze, and smiled slightly, "I have lived in the Western Regions since I was a child, and I have seen a lot of wars, so it is not unusual to be able to see it, so the prince doesn't need to be so surprised." I don't think your injury is very serious, but it hasn't been dealt with well, and after I leave, you can let the maid bandage it well, and stop doing strenuous exercise. ”

Standing up as he spoke, he nodded slightly at Chu Xinying.

"I won't be going home for the next two days, and I'm sure we'll see each other again in a few days." Yun Jinjia said, picked up the horsewhip on the table and walked away.

Chu Xinying watched the red disappear around the corner and sighed lightly.
