Chapter 42: The Arrival of Prince Qin Wen's Sickle

"What about you?" Shu Yao suddenly asked Mo Ran.

"Me!" Mo Ran was silent for a while, and said, "Even if I want to die, I don't want to marry someone I don't like." ”

Shu Yao smiled, "If you marry someone you don't like, you can change to the peaceful and prosperous era of Beiliang, don't you want to?" ”

"In this world, how can there be such a good thing, a woman can be exchanged for a peaceful and prosperous world. A woman is just a woman after all, and she can never be worth the benefits. ”

"Then if you are a king in the future, as long as you are close to you, you can exchange for fifty years of peace and prosperity, are you willing?" Shu Yao suddenly asked Mo Ran this question.

Mo Ran didn't think about it, "No." ”

"Really?" Shu Yao couldn't believe it.

Mo Ran nodded firmly, "Seriously." ”

Shu Yao and Mo Ran looked at each other and smiled.

"The old slave sees the eleventh prince, Princess Xu Ming." A father-in-law saluted.

"Flat." Shu Yao and Mo Ran said in unison.

"Thank you, princess."

"I wonder what's going on with my father-in-law?" Shu Yao asked.

"Back to Princess Xu Ming, Your Majesty asked the old slave to inform the prince and the princess that they need to enter the palace to meet the Qin Wen tribe in three days."

"Got it."

"The old slave retired."

It's still here after all.

— three days later

Your Majesty, concubines, princes, princesses, princesses, princesses, and ministers are all waiting for the arrival of the people of the Qin Wen tribe at the palace gate.

Each of them was dressed very ceremoniously, and each of them was dressed in a palace costume.

The representative sent by the Qin Wen tribe was the prince of the Qin Wen clan. He is the crown prince of the Qin Wen clan.

"Qin Wen's sickle welcomes His Majesty Beiliang."

"Prince of the Sickle, please."

Sickle's mother is a woman from Beiliang, so his appearance is from Beiliang.

Because his mother is a woman from Beiliang, he hopes that his wife is also a woman from Beiliang.

"The prince of the sickle has come from afar, and he is tired from a long way, right?" Emperor Wanfei said with a smile on her face.

Xiao Yao looked at the dress of Emperor Wan's concubine, "Presumably you are the concubine of Emperor Wan in Beiliang." ”

"Prince Sickle has a good eye, and this palace is the concubine of Emperor Wan."

"Sickle welcomes the concubine of Emperor Wan."

"The prince is polite."

Sickle glanced at everyone in front of him, but only one caught his attention.

"Prince of the Sickle, please." His Majesty said.

"Your Majesty Beiliang, please."

Everyone entered the Xuyang Hall and sat down.

"The prince of the sickle has come from afar, and I will give you a drink."

"Your Majesty Beiliang will manage Beiliang very well, your Majesty will have a cup of it."

Shu Yao sat next to Nangong and Beiran.

And the sickle sat directly opposite Shu Yao.

Shu Yao, like Nangong Dumping, doesn't want a princess to become a princess and marry the Qin Wen tribe.

The two of them looked serious, and there was not a trace of a smile on their faces. It is a great contrast with others.

"Prince Sickle's mother is from Beiliang?" Nangong asked Beiran in a low voice.

"Exactly."

"Is the mother of the prince of the sickle the princess of Bei Liang?"

"It's not."

"Isn't it?" Nangong looked at Bei Ran in surprise, "Since she is not a princess, how could she marry the Zhou Jun of the Qin Wen clan?" ”

"It is said that Prince Kui's mother saved Zhoujun and almost lost her entire life because of saving him, so she married her desperately."

"I see."

Because Shu Yao was sitting directly opposite the sickle, the eyes of the sickle were on Shu Yao.

And Shu Yao didn't know at all, she just sat quietly, motionless in a daze.

His Majesty noticed that the sickle was looking at Shu Yao, so he said, "The prince of the sickle looked straight at the other side, but what is there to see?" ”

He got up and said with a smile, "Back to Your Majesty, I just saw a different woman, and I took a few more looks." ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"The woman who sat directly across from the king."

His Majesty looked at it, it was Shu Yao.

His Majesty laughed, "It turns out that Prince Sickle is talking about Princess Xu Ming. ”

When Shu Yao heard someone calling her, she came back to her senses and looked at the sickle.

Xiao Yao looked at Shu Yao and said, "Princess Xu Ming looks very special. ”

"Hahahaha~~~~" His Majesty laughed, "Prince Sickle has a good eye." Princess Xu Ming is not my princess of Beiliang. ”

"Oh?" His Majesty's words aroused the curiosity of the sickle.

"Princess Xu Ming is the daughter of His Royal Highness Aja Jixun Aja Jinglan of the Qinzhou tribe and Prince Manin Wende." His Majesty introduced.

"Qinzhou tribe?" Sickle said in surprise.

His Majesty nodded.

"Isn't it rumored that Princess Xu Ming disappeared sixteen years ago?"

"Yes, but I found it not so long ago."

"No wonder it looks different." He whispered to himself.

When Qian Yao said that he looked at Shu Yao, Nangong poured a sigh in his heart.

Shu Yao was surprised that the sickle actually looked at herself.

With this, it was obvious that he was very interested in Shu Yao. Mo Ran was very nervous in his heart, and his heart was beating "plopping".

Shu Yao got up and said with a reluctant smile, "Xu Ming has seen Prince Sickle. ”

"Princess Xu Ming is polite."

"Your Majesty Beiliang, you have a request, and I hope it will be fulfilled."

"Prince Sickle, please speak."

Xiao Yao looked at Shu Yao and said, "This king hopes that Princess Xu Ming can travel to Beiliang with me in the next few days." ”

Shu Yao's eyes widened as she looked at the sickle.

His Majesty hesitated, because Xu Ming was not the princess of Beiliang, let alone his princess, and he didn't know how to respond.

"Princess Xu Ming is not my princess of Beiliang, I can't make this decision. The prince had to ask Princess Xu Ming for her opinion. ”

Shu Yao was stunned for a moment and said, "Thank you Prince Kui for the invitation, it is Xu Ming's honor to be able to travel to Beiliang with the prince." ”

After Mo Ran heard this, he looked at Shu Yao deadly.

"It is an honor to invite Princess Xu Ming to travel with her."

"Since Princess Xu Ming agrees, this is fine." His Majesty said with a smile.

Shu Yao and Xiao Yao sat down again, and Nangong took Shu Yao's hand.

Shu Yao glanced at Nangong Tilt, and there was some sadness in her eyes.

An hour later

"Prince Sickle is also tired, please move to Wenyuan Hall to rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Beiliang."

After the banquet was dispersed, Shu Yao and Nangong Tanyu walked alone in the imperial garden.

"Why did you agree to travel to Beiliang with Prince Sickle?" Nangong asked.

Shu Yao sighed and said, "He is a distinguished guest of Beiliang, and I have no reason to refuse him." What's more, in full view of everyone, it would be even more inappropriate to reject him. ”

"Then do you know that the prince has something to say?" Nangong said worriedly.

"I know that if the Zhou Jun of the Qinzhou tribe agrees, then I will become a princess and marry the Qinwen tribe."

"Now that you know you're still there."

"Prince Sickle came to Beiliang from such a far away, and asked me to travel with him in Beiliang by name, I can't refuse him like this!"

Nangong didn't know what to say, and Shu Yao had already agreed.

——

When Prince Sickle invited Shu Yao to visit Beiliang together, Concubine Lin had already heard about it.

When Mo Ran returned to the Mojin Palace, he saw Concubine Lin sitting on a stool, waiting for Mo Ran.

As soon as Mo Ran entered, he saw Concubine Lin and said in surprise, "Mother? ”

"You're back."

"Mother, why are you here?"

"The mother concubine has already heard that the prince of the sickle invited Princess Xu Ming to visit Beiliang together."

Mo Ran smiled reluctantly, "Hmm." ”

Seeing Mo Ran's calm answer, Concubine Lin said anxiously, "Princess Xu Ming may be this year's princess and princess, are you so not in a hurry?" ”

Mo Ran sat down, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Prince Xuming invited Princess Xu Ming in front of everyone, and no one else could refuse. If Princess Xu Ming is really this year's princess of Heqin, then the Qinzhou tribe must agree. ”

Mo Ran pretended to be calm, but he was actually nervous.

"You may not know the situation of the Qin Wen tribe, the Qin Wen tribe is only a little weaker than the Qinzhou tribe, not very weak. It's also a standout. Do you think it is difficult to get the Zhou Jun of the Qinzhou tribe to agree to this marriage? Concubine Lin said loudly.

Mo Ran held the teacup in his hand and trembled slightly.

"I think Prince Xuming's mother is a woman from Beiliang, so she should respect Princess Xu Ming, right?"

He knew that this sentence was impossible to achieve, but he still wanted to be lucky.

"If there is so much respect for other people's opinions, there will not be so many princesses, do you still want to be lucky?"

Mo Ran smiled reluctantly, "So what, I don't like her again." It doesn't matter to me who she's going to marry. ”

When Concubine Lin heard Mo Ran say this, she was annoyed.

obviously cares so much about Princess Xu Ming, and she has her place unknowingly in her heart early on.

"Really? Is that really what you think in your heart? ”

"Of course!" There was a slight tremor in his voice.

Concubine Lin smiled, this smile was very sarcastic, "Mo Ran! Are you really a blind and foolish concubine? Concubine Lin yelled.

Mo Ran chose to be silent and not to speak.

"For so many years, except for the pear blossom cake made by Hongu himself, you have never eaten the pear blossom cake made by others. But you asked Princess Xu Ming to make you pear blossom cake. When you were young, in order to let your mother make pear blossom cake for you, you said that the pear blossom cake made by others was not delicious, so you loved to eat what this palace made. Do you really think what others are making is unpalatable? The pear blossom cake you said was not delicious, but Hongu tasted it every time. It's obviously similar to what Hongu does, but you say that it's unpalatable to someone else's. You are clearly because of the flower language of pear blossoms, innocence, and the most romantic love. I never eat the pear blossom cake made by others, but you let the princess make it for you. If others don't know, they think you've changed. ”

"For so many years, you've never quarreled or fought with that girl. But these all appeared in Princess Xu Ming. Because of her, you're hurt. Do you remember the last time you were injured while saving a woman? You're hurt on a woman, and you can count on five fingers. ”

"Later, you said that you wanted to stay with the person you like, and that happened after you met Princess Xu Ming. You've lived in this deep palace for so long, don't you have a count in your heart? You know that it is impossible to stay with the person you like. But that's what you told Hongu. That also happened after you met Princess Xu Ming. ”

"Do you want this palace to continue?" Concubine Lin roared loudly.

After Mo Ran heard this, her eyes were full of tears, and she choked up and said, "Even if the mother concubine tells her sons one by one, what is the use?" Princess Xu Ming may become a princess in the near future and marry the Qin Wen tribe. And I, as my mother said, listened to the arrangement. ”

Concubine Lin stood up, walked in front of Mo Ran, grabbed him and said, "But now the person you like is Princess Xu Ming, not someone else." As long as you work hard, maybe a miracle will happen, you know? Concubine Lin tried to persuade Mo Ran.

Mo Ran smiled, "Mother, aren't you joking?" Could it be that the mother concubine is not more sober than the son? ”

"Now the prince of the sickle is just inviting the princess to travel with him, just to travel together, and everything is not finished, and it has not yet begun. Why can't you just fight for it for yourself? Don't wait until you lose it to start regretting it. ”

"But ........."
