Chapter 422: Agreeing to the Competition

The princess thought of what Mama said that a mother is more expensive than a child, she didn't hesitate, she wasn't impressed, she just ...... If he really did this, the distance between her and An Mingchen would get farther and farther, and at that time, it seemed that he had got everything he wanted, but he also lost everything. She loves his people, not a reason to stay by his side, if he doesn't love him, even if he stays in Beichu for a lifetime, it is not what he wants.

On the contrary, if he loved him, even if it was only for a short moment, she would be satisfied and die without regrets. During the time she came to Beichu, she watched how their husband and wife got along, and she could see how much they loved each other, although she didn't want to admit it, but he was really jealous, jealous of their relationship, jealous of the love between them, she didn't want to give up, but she didn't want to use despicable means. What she wants, must be willing.

Therefore, knowing that the mother concubine had good intentions, she still refused, "Mother, I'm sorry, I still want to try again, even if the final result is still not what I want, but I won't regret it." ”

"Forget it, the concubine can't do anything about you. You don't regret it. The princess had not been long in the inn and then left. An Mingchen was rarely in Anfu on this day, the princess was very happy, and personally boiled the soup and sent it over, but the guards didn't even let him in the door, "The prince ordered, no one is allowed to enter without permission, the princess should please go back." ”

"Presumptuous, what are you, our princess is the mistress of this house, the wife of the childe, she wants to see the child, and she is also an idle person? Don't get out of the way yet. "Mama came out of the palace, very majestic, a sentence frightened the little girl back again and again, pushed open the door, the princess walked in, An Mingchen sat in front of the desk and didn't know what she was thinking, and when she saw them come in, her face immediately changed.

"Whoever let you in, get out." An Mingchen was upset as long as he thought of today's events, and now when he saw the princess, his face became more and more ugly. The princess didn't think so, she thought that after today, their relationship should go further, she took the tray and stepped forward with a smile, "Xianggong, I heard that you are useless for dinner, you are busy with official business, you must also remember to eat, don't pay attention to your body because you are young, my father ......"

"That's enough, you didn't understand what I said, did you?" An Mingchen strode forward to stop him from taking another half step, and the princess raised her head aggrievedly, "Xianggong, what are you doing, I heard that you didn't have dinner, I was very worried, and I came over to bring you some ginseng soup, I ...... I don't mean anything else, you...... Why do you have to do this to me...... If it were my sister, would you be the same? ”

"Don't compare you to him." An Mingchen turned around and returned to the desk, "Okay, you can go back." Don't make me say it a third time. ”

The princess has a strong sense of self-esteem, she was already holding on to it just now, and now when she heard the words, she cried and handed the tray to the maid, and trotted out of the room, and the grandmother was dissatisfied, and stepped forward and said, "Lord An, the old slave knows that you are really helpless to marry the princess, and you have to do it, and you are very angry in your heart, but the matter has come to this, the princess is pure and kind, why doesn't Lord An try to accept the princess, does Lord An want to see the two countries go to war, and the people are in misery?" ”

An Mingchen looked at his grandmother, suddenly a cold wind blew, I don't know when it snowed outside the window, An Mingchen remembered that Huangfu Xue liked to watch the snow very much, got up and came to the window, and secretly thought, if he was in the capital at this time, he would definitely accompany her to see the snow, but it's a pity......

"I know what Mama said, you can go." If he is not for the people of the world, why did he come to this point now, he knows very well that Mama is reminding him that since he made a good sacrifice at the beginning, he should not regret it now, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses, but if people are unwilling, how can they want to cover up, hide can cover up, he will be like a thorn, always remind you that he is in your body, as long as he does not leave for a day, he has no way not to mind for a day.

That night, An Mingchen couldn't sleep all night, stood in front of the window, and watched the snow all night. At dawn, the snow finally stopped. The emperor proposed to hunt, although the ministers were unwilling, but did not dare to propose a rebuttal, the king of Nanyue heard this, very happy, "Okay, good, Lone's favorite is to ride a horse and shoot arrows, if you can, Lone hopes that you can live such a day every day." ”

When the king of Nanyue did not become the king of Nanyue, he led the troops to fight all the year round, and since he ascended the throne, such opportunities are rare, and now he is just hunting, and his heart is also happy. The princess has been with Concubine Hua, but her mood is not very high, Concubine Hua can see it early in the morning, but he doesn't say anything, she pretends not to know anything.

Around noon, the princess couldn't help it, and took the initiative to take some food to An Mingchen's camp, "Xianggong, I see that your appetite is not very good today, this is the porridge I asked the kitchen to prepare for you, you can drink a little more." It's very cold today, and when you go into the mountains to hunt, it will definitely get even colder. Drink some porridge to warm up your body. ”

"No need." An Mingchen didn't raise his head and refused directly, Pei Sinan is Concubine Hua's guard, and has had a crush on the princess for many years, since the princess came to Beichu, Pei Sinan was worried, this time she deliberately followed Concubine Hua to Beichu to see if the princess was doing well, and I knew early on that the person the princess liked didn't like the princess, and I guessed that the princess was not doing very well, but when I saw this man who didn't care about the princess at all, I was very sad and even angry.

"Xianggong, I know that you are still angry about yesterday's incident, but yesterday's situation, if I don't do this, with my father's temper, I will definitely not let you go, and when the time comes, ......" An Mingchen sneered and raised his head, "What about the time, will you use Nanyue to attack Northern Chu as an interface?" Princess, do you think that the last time I was scared, this time I will be afraid? ”

"You...... What do you mean by this, I was kind enough to help you, but I was wrong? The princess was also aggrieved, "Do you know that I am a daughter's family, and in that scene at that time, in front of so many people, how much courage did I have to make such a move, but I am for you, I ...... I gave up everything, I thought you were happy and moved, but I didn't expect ......"

Pei Sinan was distressed, and took the initiative to stand in front of the princess, "Don't be sad, princess, no matter who bullies you, just tell your subordinates, and your subordinates will teach you a lesson." ”

"Pei Huwei, no need, this princess ......" The princess doesn't want to cause trouble at this time, it is not good for Nanyue and Northern Chu, and she doesn't want to embarrass An Mingchen." Forget it, since you don't want to drink, you just don't drink it. But there is a sentence that I have to say whether you want to hear it or not, I am your lady now, before Beichu did not have the strength to fight against Nanyue, I have always been, if you really want to break off the relationship with me as soon as possible, you can speak with strength. ”

The princess left with Pei Sinan, but Pei Sinan did not follow her to find Concubine Hua, but appeared in front of An Mingchen again, "I heard that Lord An has superb martial arts, archery, and riding skills, and I don't know if I dare to compete with the next one?" ”

An Mingchen glanced up at her, it was the guard just now. It seems that he should have come to fight the princess, closed the book, and became interested, "How do you want to compete." Pei Sinan had already thought about it before he came, and when he heard the words, he spoke directly, "What we Nanyue people are best at is archery, and I think that archery skills are good, and Lord An is also the best among people, why don't you compare it to this?" ”

"Why does this official want to compete with one of your subordinates?" An Mingchen looked like he was talking very well just now, but his face suddenly changed, and Pei Sinan's face changed suddenly, "Lord An, you have obviously promised your subordinates just now, but now you want to go back on your word, this move is not a gentleman's doing." ”

"When did this official promise you? It's you, a princess's guard, who has to compete with the official. Where the hell does the confidence come from? Also, I am the prime minister of Northern Chu, I compete with a subordinate, I lose or win, I can't get any benefits, why should I do such a laborious and thankless thing. "Get up and walk outside. Pei Sinan's face was very ugly.

"How can Lord An compete with his subordinates?" An Mingchen glanced at the camp tent in front of him, "Since you are Concubine Hua's subordinate, you naturally have to ask for his consent before this official can agree." Pei Sinan saw that An Mingchen didn't look like a joke, and after thinking about it, he turned around and went to Concubine Hua's tent, Concubine Hua was chatting with the princess, and when she saw her come in, she didn't look up.

Pei Sinan stepped forward and knelt down, "Niangniang, my subordinates have something to ask for." Concubine Hua didn't have the mind, she just waved her hand randomly, "If there is anything, just say it directly." ”

"My subordinates heard that An Da is both humanistic and martial, and his archery skills are even more powerful. The subordinates appreciated it very much, and wanted to try it with Lord An, and asked the mother for permission. ”

Pei Sinan wants to compete with An Mingchen? Concubine Hua glanced at the princess and turned to look over, "Are you completely sure?" "If they just compete in private, there is nothing to win or lose, but if he instructs it, this competition will rise to the strength of the two countries, and this matter must not be sloppy. Pei Sinan thought of An Mingchen's weak physique, and his heart was full of disapproval, and then he swore to Concubine Hua, "My subordinates will live up to expectations." ”

"In that case, let's go. Don't lose Nanyue's face, if you lose, you know what will happen. "Even in the Nanyue Palace, Pei Sinan competed with others, and if he lost, he couldn't stay with Concubine Hua anymore, let alone now. The princess wanted to stop it, but when she saw Pei Sinan's face determined to win, she suddenly hesitated.

On the other hand, the emperor also heard that An Mingchen was going to compete with Concubine Hua's guards, and his first thought was to mess around, An Mingchen explained with a smile, "The emperor's micro-ministers are wronged, and the micro-ministers are sitting in the camp tent well, and people come to provoke, if I have been hesitating, wouldn't it seem that we are very incompetent?" ”

"You, you have a reason all the time. If you want me to say, you were calculated by Nanyue yesterday, and you are unwilling, and you want to get it back today. "If it's really just to prove his ability, why do you have to ask Concubine Hua to agree, in this way, a small competition will rise to become a matter of the two countries, An Mingchen has always been cautious in doing things, why is he reckless today, you can guess if you think about it carefully.
