Chapter 52 Iron Ore Development

It was a big red brocade robe, Xia Yunxi liked to wear red clothes the most, with a ruby hairpin on his head.

The red color makes her complexion very good.

Su Wan nodded with satisfaction; "You're still good at wearing red."

Xia Yunxi turned around, she liked this dress very much.

Xia Yunxi smiled brightly; "I also think this dress really suits me."

Su Wan walked to the dresser and took out a hairpin from the jewelry box.

It was a ruby walk.

Su Wan put the step on Xia Yunxi's bun.

"Alright, the hour is almost up, you should go, and the carriage sent by the palace to pick you up should have arrived."

The corners of Xia Yunxi's mouth hooked up a shallow smile; "Don't worry, I will definitely convince the emperor."

Looking at the back of Xia Yunxi leaving, Su Wan's heart lifted.

She was really worried about her.

Xia Yunxi sat in the carriage and listened to the clattering sound of the wheels, Xia Yunxi took a deep breath and calmed down his heart.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Xia Yunxi got out of the carriage, and someone from the palace came over.

The palace people saluted her respectfully; "See Princess Xia Liang, love comes with the slave."

Xia Yunxi followed behind the palace people.

Emperor Northern Chu received Xia Yunxi in Zhaoyang Palace.

Xia Yunxi slowly entered the Zhaoyang Palace, and she bowed to the Northern Chu Emperor; "See the Emperor of Northern Chu."

Emperor Beichu raised his hand slightly, signaling Xia Yunxi to get up.

Emperor Beichu's expression was serious, and his gaze fell on Xia Yunxi.

"You said you wanted to see me, what did you do?"

Xia Yunxi thought, this Northern Chu Emperor clearly knew why she came, but he asked knowingly.

Xia Yunxi said respectfully: "I asked to see Emperor Northern Chu because I wanted Emperor Northern Chu to send troops, my father and mother were placed under house arrest by King Ning, and King Ning had bad intentions. ”

Emperor Beichu's eyes narrowed slightly: "You mean you want me to help you calm the civil strife?" That's your Xia Liang country's business. It's not easy for us in Northern Chu to get involved in your Xia Liang's affairs. ”

Xia Yunxi had long guessed that Emperor Northern Chu would say this. He said calmly: "I know that this is our Xia Liang's own business, and Bei Chu is not obliged to help me, but if Bei Chu is willing to help me, I am willing to give half of the mining rights of Xia Liang National Iron Mine to Bei Chu." ”

This condition is extremely tempting.

The iron ore output of Xia Liang is very high, and the annual output can catch up with the annual output of the entire Northern Chu.

For this trading condition, Emperor Beichu was a little tempted.

Tempting is tempting, after all, this is Xia Liangguo's own business, if Beichu is hard to stubble, will it not be the backbone of other countries.

Xia Yunxi saw that Emperor Northern Chu was a little hesitant.

"I know your concerns about the Emperor of Northern Chu, Northern Chu doesn't need to send troops, I only ask Northern Chu for one person."

"Who do you want from me?"

"This person is the fourth prince, Chu Mojing."

Emperor Beichu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This is more effective than thousands of troops." ”

The corners of Xia Yunxi's mouth rose slightly, looking at the reaction of Emperor Beichu now, there is hope for this matter.

Striking while the iron is hot, Xia Yunxi said busily; "It is unrealistic for Northern Chu to send troops to Xia Liang, but Xia Liang invited the prince of your country to go to Xia Liang to discuss iron ore mining, and now it is my father who is still in power, and it is not right to come to the throne of King Rining, and the Emperor of Northern Chu should not let go of this great opportunity."

Emperor Beichu's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze was like a torch, and he looked at Xia Yunxi.

After a long time, Emperor Beichu slowly spoke; "I, I will send someone to Xia Liang to discuss iron ore mining."

Xia Yunxi was overjoyed.

Father, mother, Xia Liang was saved.

In the Nine Emperors' Mansion, Su Wan was eating the osmanthus cake that Xing'er had just made, but before she had eaten two pieces, the plate was empty.

Su Wan looked at the empty plate.

looked at Chu Mohan, Chu Mohan's cheeks bulged, like a hamster.

Su Wan frowned dissatisfiedly; "How can you eat all the osmanthus cakes?"

Chu Mohan looked at Su Wan pitifully like a child who had done something wrong, with tears in his eyes.

Su Wan sighed lightly; "You know pretending to be pitiful, I'm your lady, shouldn't I give you any delicious food?"

Chu Mohan looked at Su Wan as if he didn't understand; "But I'm hungry, when are we going to have lunch?"

Su Wan looked out of the door, it was already past noon, why hadn't Xia Yunxi come back from the palace yet, she was a little anxious.

Su Wan said absent-mindedly; "Xia Yunxi hasn't come back yet, and we'll have lunch when she comes back."

With that, Apricot came in from outside.

"The prince, the princess, someone from the palace."

Su Wan frowned, why did someone come to the palace at this time? Won't it ......

Su Wan hurriedly got up and said anxiously; "Could it be that something happened to Xia Yunxi in the palace?"

"No...... No, Princess Xia Liang came back together. ”

As soon as she heard that Xia Yunxi was back together, Su Wan's heart finally let go.

Su Wan didn't think much about it, she looked at Chu Mohan: "There is someone in the palace, there must be something, you go and take a look." ”

Chu Mohan got up a little reluctantly, his stomach was about to be hungry.

"The princess, it's a father-in-law who is here."

Su Wan was stunned, should the emperor know, all of this was her advice, could it be that she came to Xingshi to ask for guilt?

Su Wan walked into the front hall with some trepidation.

In the hall, Xia Yunxi was sitting upright on a chair.

Seeing that she was fine, Su Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was the emperor's side who came to deliver the decree, and the Xi Gonggong who was cautiously serving.

Father-in-law Xi first saluted the two respectfully.

"Pass on the emperor's message."

Everyone in the hall knelt down.

Xi Gonggong continued; "Passing on the emperor's edict, he ordered the Nine Emperor Princes Chu Mohan to go to Xia Liang to discuss the development of iron mines, and let the Nine Emperor Princesses, anonymous follow and assist."

Su Wan was stunned, how could the emperor make such a will? The person who was going to Xia Liang should be the fourth prince, Chu Mojing.

Su Wan looked at Xia Yunxi, the corners of Xia Yunxi's mouth rose slightly, as long as she was not blind, she could see that this was Xia Yunxi's ghost.

Su Wan hurriedly spoke; "Hello father-in-law, this ......"

Father-in-law Xi knew what Su Wan wanted to ask, and said with a smile; "Nine Emperor Princesses, don't worry, the emperor also sent the four princes to go to Xia Liang with you, after all, this is a major matter between the two."

Hearing what Father-in-law Xi said, Su Wan was finally relieved.

Seeing off her father-in-law, Su Wan looked at Xia Yunxi, who was leisurely sipping tea; "What are you thinking? Why do you want me and Chu Mohan to go to Xia Liang too? ”

Xia Yunxi put down the teacup in his hand and said with a bright smile; "I think it's going to be fun to have you,"

Su Wan hated iron and steel; "This is the best chance for you to be alone with the four princes, such a good opportunity, you just wasted it."

Xia Yunxi doesn't care about the Tao; "I must have been obsessed with ghosts before, otherwise how could I be so persistent in wanting to marry Chu Mojing, and even deceive him into Xia Liang at the expense of design."

Xia Yunxi sighed lightly; "I've figured it out now, the twisted melon is not sweet, if Chu Mojing is my beloved, no matter what happens, we will come together."

Su Wan blinked and looked at her incredulously.

"Have you seen through the red dust, you must not do anything stupid."

Xia Yunxi glared at Su Wan, not angry; "You've just seen through the red dust."

"It's just...... This is not convincing at all when it comes out of your mouth. Su Wan touched her chin, her eyes flashing with shock; Could it be that you empathize and fall in love with someone else. ”

Su Wan's eyes narrowed, gossiping; "Tell me who you have your eye on."

If eyes could kill, Su Wan thought that she didn't know how many times she had been killed by Xia Yunxi's eyes.

Xia Yunxi really wanted to beat her up.

Su Wan smiled, knowing that she seemed to have made a joke.

"I'm just kidding you, don't take it seriously."

Going to Xia Liangguo, apart from the relevant personnel, not many people know.

Three days later, a small group of men and horses left the capital.

Not long after leaving the capital, the news came that Emperor Xia Liang was seriously ill.

In the inn, four people sat in a circle.

Xia Yunxi was very worried about Emperor Xia Liang; "My father has always been in good health, why did he suddenly become seriously ill."

Su Wan comforted; "This may be fake news released by King Ning, in order to better control the government."

Xia Yunxi said worriedly; "Hopefully it's just fake news."

Su Wan looked at Chu Mojing, who was sitting opposite; "We have to hurry to Jinling, the capital of Xialiang."

Chu Mojing nodded.

After rushing day and night, it took half a month to rush to Jinling.

Chu Mojing had already sent someone to Jinling first and prepared a courtyard.

Running all the way, everyone was a little tired.

After a day off, everyone gathered to discuss what to do next.

Su Wan spoke first; "Fourth Prince, when are you going to the palace?"

Chu Mojing spoke slowly; "I have ordered someone to bring our coming here into the Xialiang Palace, waiting for the Xialiang Emperor to summon us."

Xia Yunxi pursed her lips and said with some concern; "What if King Ning doesn't summon him under the pretext that his father is seriously ill?"

"It's certain that we won't see Emperor Xia Liang, I don't think King Ning is stupid, if I guess correctly, King Ning will personally summon us."

Sure enough, as Su Wan guessed, someone spread the word in the afternoon that because Emperor Xia Liang was seriously ill, all the affairs of Xia Liang Kingdom were now managed by King Ning.

King Ning summoned the fourth prince Chu Mojing in the palace tomorrow.

After the messenger left, Su Wan frowned slightly; "Why did King Ning only summon one of the four princes?"

Could it be that she and Chu Mohan are so unimportant.

In the early morning of the second day, Chu Mojing entered the palace.

It was King Ning who met Chu Mojing, King Ning and Emperor Xia Liang are brothers, the two are three years apart, and they look very similar, but King Ning is a little less majestic between his eyebrows.

"See King Ning." Chu Mojing was not humble or unyielding, and saluted King Ning.

King Ning glanced at Chu Mojing; "Give a seat."

As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch came in with a chair, and after putting the chair next to Chu Mojing, he stepped back.

King Ning went straight to the point; "Fourth prince, this time I came here to discuss the development of iron ore with Xia Liang?"

Chu Mojing opened his mouth lightly, looking at King Ning with a pair of dark eyes; "It is precisely that some time ago, your country sent an envoy to Beichu to discuss the joint development of iron ore, after discussion, the emperor felt that this is beneficial to the economic development of both countries, so he sent me to discuss the specific matters of iron ore development."
