"Nangong misses the past! I know that you have sharp teeth, but this marriage is related to the relationship between the two countries, and you are not allowed to destroy it here, do you still want to resist the decree? Ming Hao said with a dark face.

Ming Haoxuan opened his mouth and said: "It's not that Xi'er resisted the will, it's that I absolutely don't accept this will, if my father insists, then abolish me, the idle prince, and I will take Xi'er to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests." ”

"Bastard! Just for the sake of a woman, do you not even care about the safety of the country? Are you ignoring all the responsibilities you have? ”

"If my father retracts his will, just because I didn't say anything just now, won't her princess just take a fancy to my current status? If I were a small commoner, would she still be willing to marry me? ”

Ming Haotian saw that he had a tough attitude and was not good at head-on conflict, in the final analysis, the crux of his problem was Nangong Nianxi, now that this is the case, he turned his head to look at Shui Zijin and asked, "Water Emperor!" If this is the case, is the princess of your country willing to marry a flat-headed commoner? ”

Shui Zijin was uncomfortable by Nangong Nianxi's face just now, and now he can finally have room to return, he raised his head and said, "Of course not!" ”

"Brother Emperor!" Shui Linglong shouted to stop.

"Shut up! How can a high-ranking princess of our Shuiliang country marry a small common man, if the ninth prince really insists on this, then this prince is in charge, and my country will not accept the will just now. After speaking, he peeked at Nangong Nianxi with relief.

Nangong Nianxi was still calm, standing quietly beside Ming Haoxuan unhurriedly.

"No! The holy decree has been issued, I just don't want a concubine, I also want to marry into the palace, the eldest brother I will marry him, you said that you want to help me, and besides, the father and the emperor mean that the two countries will marry, am I not worthy of a princess in your country? Can't I surrender myself and be a side concubine? ”

Ming Haotian was embarrassed after hearing the princess's self-surrender identity, looking at his son in the field, he knew that Nangong Nianxi didn't speak, and there was no room for this matter to be returned, what should I do?

Suddenly, his eyes rolled, and he said in his heart: "Since I can't be the master, you will toss it yourself, and I don't care." ”

So he said, "Xuan'er! The water princess surrendered herself as a side concubine, you see ......"

"I have only one concubine in the Nine Kings Mansion, and I am and will be!"

"Ming Haoxuan! You deceive people too much, I have surrendered my identity, what do you want me to do? Shui Linglong said urgently.

"Water Princess, don't worry! So be it! You just came to Haoyue, and you haven't toured the capital, why don't you stay here after the banquet, I will give you and Xuan'er two months to get along, if the princess gets Xuan'er's heart, the marriage between our two countries will still count, if the time passes, then we will stop this matter, okay? ”

Shui Linglong listened, and with her own strength and charm, she could do it in a month, and then said confidently: "Okay! I agree, two months is two months, and I can definitely do it. ”

"Then the water prince can agree!" Ming Haotian asked.

"Good! If the time passes, then the prince will personally pick up his sister back. Shui Zijin's words represent the opinion of the water country, and everyone is happy now.

Nangong Nianxi also knew that this was the emperor's plan to delay the army, but this was also the only way to solve it.

"But I have a request, I don't know if your emperor can agree?" Shui Linglong said.

Ming Haotian opened his mouth and asked, "What conditions are the water princesses, if it is not too difficult, I can agree." ”

"This princess is going to live in the Nine Kings Mansion for these two months, although he has agreed for two months, but if he closes the door and does not see him, where will this princess have a chance, Your Majesty! You won't disagree with this little request! ”

Ming Haotian listened and said, "Since the princess has spoken, I can still make the decision on this little matter, so it's decided!" Xuan'er! Remembering the past! You won't object, will you! ”

Ming Haoxuan and Nangong Nianxi looked at each other, looked at each other, and then nodded their heads, it's only two months, and when she is bored, she will automatically leave.

The banquet continued, and finally the princes gave birthday gifts, and Ming Hao sent a picture of mountains and rivers embroidered with gold thread.

Ming Haoduan opened his mouth and said: "Father, this is the mountain and river map embroidered by Qingrou and Qianqian for days, I wish my father a long life than Nanshan, a blessing like the East China Sea, and a hundred years of longevity!" ”

Ming Haotian laughed heartily and accepted the congratulatory gift and said, "Duan'er has a heart!" ”

Then the fourth prince, Ming Haoping, sent a red coral in the South China Sea. Ming Haolan sent a crystal clear jade Ruyi, and the birthday greetings read by the little county lord himself tomorrow.

It was Ming Haoxuan's turn, Ming Haoxuan stepped forward, holding a pen holder in his hand, the pen holder is an indispensable stationery on the desk, and he saw that the one he was holding was cylindrical, carved from hardwood, and there were three legs under it. The mouth edge of the pen holder is engraved with a big "longevity" word, the outer wall of the pen holder is carved Xianshan Island, there are pines and cypresses, plum blossoms, vine roses, Ganoderma lucidum between the mountains and rocks, floating clouds on it, the appearance of a map.

Ming Haoxuan opened his mouth and said: "I wish my father the emperor's blessings like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and his longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan!" ”

At this time, everyone present also had a contemptuous attitude, and these nine princes could not use this ordinary pen holder to fill up without gifts.

Ming Haotian also looked at it and said, "Xuan'er! Recently, there has been a shortage of silver in the house, or is this cylinder of special significance? ”

"Father! This is my heart and Xi'er's heart, although it is not as valuable as the few brothers, but it is definitely worth the money! This is also Xi'er's invention, so let's leave it to her! ”

Nangong Nianxi stood up, and heard someone whisper and laughed: "Ninth brother and sister!" This is a lack of living and can't be saved on your father, you just made your father angry, see how you explain the meaning of this little pen holder!

Ming Haotian didn't stop it when he heard it, he almost lost face in front of the foreign envoys just now, but fortunately he thought of a compromise to save face, now look at how she blows out the pen holder.

Nangong Nianxi heard Ji Yuexian's voice, looked at the emperor's unhappy expression, and still smiled and explained: "Father! This cylinder is carved out by the prince one by one, there are mountains and rivers, trees, birds and beasts, as well as our blessings for the birthday of our father, I wish my father to dominate the country and protect our Haoyue great rivers and mountains. ”

Ming Haotian frowned when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face, after all, this was carved by his favorite son himself, and the displeasure just now also dissipated more than half, and some servants handed it over to the emperor.

Liu Qianqian sneered at this time: "Ninth brother! You husband and wife won't just send a worthless pen holder, right? Although the meaning is good, how can you, a gift from the common people, ascend to this hall of elegance? Sister of the past! I'm still thinking about what unexpected expensive gifts you will have, let us open our eyes and see that I look down on you, our prince is a picture of the country embroidered with gold thread, you are ......" After speaking, he covered his mouth and laughed in a low voice.

Nangong Nianxi ignored her, turned around and said, "Father! The pen holder is the prince's filial piety to you, Nian Xi has also prepared a small gift, please open the lid on the pen holder, Nian Xi's mind is inside, I hope my father likes it! ”

Ming Haotian listened, opened the lid in disbelief, and there was an ordinary piece of paper lying quietly inside, Ming Haotian frowned, picked it up unhappily, put down the pen holder, opened it with both hands, looked at it for a long time, his eyes widened, and then raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Nianxi suspiciously, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Ji Yuexian couldn't help but speak: "Nangong Nianxi!" You won't paint another broken picture for your father! It doesn't add up to as much as the base of our red coral. ”

Ming Haoping frowned and said in a low voice: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”

"Lord Wang! I'm here to elevate your status! Okay, just don't talk. Ji Yuexian pouted and said.

Ming Haotian finally spoke: "Nangong Nianxi!" Come with your father! ”

Ming Haoxuan opened his mouth and said: "Father! I'll go too! ”

"Don't follow! I just wanted to make sure, you don't have to worry! After speaking, he turned around and took the lead into the back hall.

Nangong Nianxi gently shook Ming Haoxuan's hand, looked at him with his eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's okay!" Then he followed Gao Gonggong into the back hall.

Walking into the back hall, I saw that Ming Haotian was already sitting on the dragon chair, still holding the paper in his hand, and saw Nangong Nianxi walking in, and said hurriedly: "Don't use those false courtesies, you come to tell me what this is?" ”

Nangong Nianxi looked at it with a calm expression, and then said, "Father has already understood, and he still comes to ask me?" ”

"I just want to make sure, are these really your own research and inventions? How did you draw it, and you explain to me what these pictures mean? ”

"Alright! I remember the last time I was summoned, Nian Xi said to my father, what if I said that I can make the country strong? Will the father still let the princess of Shuiliang Kingdom enter the Nine Kings Mansion? Father, you didn't give Nian Xi a chance to speak. ”

"Then that's what you're talking about, then why didn't you take it out earlier, now my father is also in a dilemma, and the agreement with the lord of Shuiliang Country can no longer be changed, I hope you can understand the past, and my father is also for the people of the two countries to avoid the rights and interests of the war, I hope that the princess will retreat in the face of difficulties, and you will still be Xuan'er's concubine at that time."

"Father! Remembering the past and studying this is just to hope that the country will be strong, and no longer use this kind of harmony to maintain relations between the two countries. I believe that my father also understands that this weapon can make our country strong, and it will not be threatened by other countries! ”

"Good! It seems that Xuan'er's vision is still very unique, you will be his biggest help, but fortunately, he didn't agree to the princess's request just now. Well, since this is your invention, I hope you will guide you when it comes to mass production. ”

"Father, rest assured! I will do my part for the growth of Haoyue. ”

"Good! Then you go out and explain your invention to them. ”

"Please rest assured, father, I will explain these details to the envoys of various countries, and by the way, I will carefully explain its power and power."

Ming Haotian listened, and said in his heart: "This girl is really good at speculating on her own thoughts, she said carefully about the power and power of this weapon, and the envoys of those small affiliated countries will definitely continue to bow down to Haoyue." And the Shui Liang Country and the Qianyuan Country, which are on an equal footing with Haoyue, will also deter them. I didn't expect this girl to have such a talent in the military, no wonder Duan'er persevered in her, and Xuan'er doted on her. ”

After the two came out, they obviously felt that Ming Haotian was in a good mood, and his face was full of smiles, Nangong Nianxi continued to stand beside Ming Haoxuan, and said: "Father, let me explain the content on this piece of paper, then I will be ugly and tell you about my inventions and creations." ”
