Chapter 268: Marriage

The imperial brother misunderstood, Qian Qianqian is really just a country woman, she has never been to the capital, and she has never entered the palace. ”

Xiao Mohan bowed slightly, his expression was still calm, and he said it as a matter of course, every word was full of self-humility, so that the emperor was not good at asking again and again.

"Then summon her to the temple, I have rewarded her with so many things, she should always come and thank her."

The emperor is still very curious about Qian Qianqian, he has seen too many women in the harem, and it is the first time he has heard of someone as brave and resourceful as Qian Qianqian.

"The younger brother is willing to thank her again, the country woman has never seen the world, and the palace is not qualified for people of her status to enter, the imperial brother is busy with government affairs, so don't take her to heart."

Xiao Mohan bowed, his tone was gentle, but he was indescribably determined, he couldn't understand the emperor's temperament, if he really let Qian Qianqian enter Beijing, with the emperor's style, she would definitely be included in the harem, Xiao Mohan would not let this happen.

The emperor was very disappointed, but seeing that Xiao Mohan was unwilling to give in, he was helpless, after all, Xiao Mohan was a great hero of Xiao Guo at the moment, and he was deeply loved by the people, even if he was the emperor, he couldn't force himself with Xiao Mohan at this time, and just put the matter on hold for the time being.

"Yang Guo handed over a letter, saying that he wanted to marry Qin and Jin with my Xiao royal family, you also know that now that the war is at the beginning of the peace, Xiao Guo is also in ruins, if we can marry with Yang Guo, then our frontier will be stable for a few years, and the relationship with Yang Guo will ease a lot."

The emperor's words changed, and he no longer continued to insist, his eyes fell on Xiao Mohan, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"If you want to have more peace on the border, marriage is indeed a good idea, I don't know which princess of the Yang Kingdom does Your Majesty want to be a concubine?"

Xiao Mohan asked along with the emperor's words, there was no superfluous look on his face, after a battle for succession before, there were not many children of the royal family for a long time, and the eldest princess of the right age had already been married.

Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, the princes and princesses under his knees were still too young to be suitable for marriage at all, so Xiao Mohan thought about it and felt that most of this in-law would fall on the emperor himself.

"I have enough concubines, there is no need to add more, and the messenger of the central country made it very clear that their princess marrying into the Xiao Kingdom can only be the main room, not the concubine, I have thought about it carefully, in the entire royal family, only you have not yet married, it is better to take this opportunity to welcome a general's wife to you."

A light smile appeared on the emperor's face, it seemed that he had been planning for a long time, Xiao Mohan's face sank, his sword eyebrows were frowned, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

"Thank you for the royal brother's kindness, but the younger brother has no desire to marry at the moment, and the dignified princess of the central country, with the younger brother, is too disappointed, only to become the concubine of the imperial brother is her best destination."

Xiao Mohan lowered his head and replied coldly, although he has been humble repeatedly, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the essay is a martial arts strategy, who can compare to him? The person sitting on the dragon chair in front of him was just a fluke back then.

"The princess of Yangguo doesn't want to be a concubine, I can't abolish her for her, and others don't look down on Yangguo, only you, a general, can enter their eyes, I know that you have always been unwilling to marry, but if it is not a last resort, I will not force you."

The emperor's face was a little embarrassed, he had also rewarded Xiao Mohan with beauties before, but Xiao Mohan refused politely, and he wanted to marry Xiao Mohan several times, but he was also rejected by Xiao Mohan on the grounds of national affairs, this time the situation is special, Xiao Mohan wants to refuse again, I'm afraid it will not be so easy.

"Brother Huang, we can negotiate with the messenger of the Central State again, see if we can take a step back and think of a compromise method, the Central State is now defeated, and they don't dare to go too far."

Although Xiao Mohan was reluctant, he couldn't refute the emperor's face too resolutely, so if there was still room for maneuver in this matter, it would be good over there.

"I have already negotiated with them, and the messenger said that this is what the emperor of the central country meant, and they have already planned to marry the princess to the Xiao country, with a city as a dowry, so sincere, if I bargain with them again, wouldn't it seem that I am too greedy? If you tear your face with them and start a war again, it will be the people of Li who will suffer. ”

The emperor sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, it seemed to be crying, since Yang Guo has shown full sincerity, then he can't go too far, otherwise he will force Yang Guo urgently, and he may have many incidents.

"But the royal brother ......"

It doesn't matter what, Xiao Mohan didn't want to agree to this matter, and when he was about to theorize, he was interrupted by a sentence from the emperor.

"This matter is so decided, I will order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose the nearest auspicious period, it just so happens that you are also in Beijing, get married as soon as possible, there is a lady in charge of affairs in the house, you can also relax."

The emperor immediately finalized the matter, it seems that Xiao Mohan has no room for negotiation here, so Xiao Mohan can only respond first, take a step, and look at a step.

"Brother Chen, thank you Brother Huang." Xiao Mohan stubbornly thanked him.

"I'm a little tired, you can step down." The emperor was very satisfied, and pretended to be tired on the surface, just because he was afraid that Xiao Mohan would suddenly change his mind.

"Yes, my brother is retiring." As soon as Xiao Mohan's voice fell, he retreated straight without staying for a moment.

Xiao Mohan went straight out of the palace, the carriage was waiting at the gate of the palace, and he went straight back to the house, sitting in the carriage, his heart was always in a state of flux.

This princess of Yangguo, he can never marry, not to mention that he already has Qian Qianqian in his heart, even if he doesn't have anyone in his heart, he will never marry a Yangguo person.

He has been fighting on the frontier all the year round, and the one who fights the most is the central country, and the central country has long been very dissatisfied with him, if he still marries a princess of the central country and comes back, wouldn't he arrange an eyeliner for himself for no reason? He wouldn't do that kind of thing.

But the emperor has already agreed with the central country, and it is estimated that he will make an order soon, and when the time comes, he will marry if he doesn't want to, unless the princess who came to marry suddenly has something wrong and can't get married.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mohan couldn't help but have an idea in his heart, until the last moment, it was impossible to make a conclusion at all, so no one could predict what would happen in the end.

Back at the General's Mansion, Xiao Mohan passed by the pool in the backyard and saw Qian Qianqian crawling on the edge of the pool, basking in the sun and feeding the fish at the same time.

Qian Qianqian found the shadow behind her, and suddenly turned around, only to see Xiao Mohan appear behind her, and she was a little surprised.

"Why did you come back so early?"

Qian Qianqian put down the fish food in her hand, raised her head, looked at Xiao Mohan's expression, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"In the past few days, I have been meeting with ministers outside, handling official business, and I have snubbed you."

Xiao Mohan raised his hand and touched Qian Qianqian's head, there was tenderness in his deep eyes, and his gaze became softer and softer, making Qian Qianqian still a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you? Why is this all of a sudden? ”

Qian Qianqian retreated a little, but she still couldn't avoid Xiao Mohan's hand, and couldn't help but wonder.

"It's nothing, I feel that I owe you something, you came all the way to the capital, and I can't take you out for a good walk, and I will lock you up in this house all day long."

Xiao Mohan was careful and restrained, and did not tell Qian Qianqian about the marriage, he had already promised Qian Qianqian that he would marry her and be his general's wife, he couldn't let her think that he would break his word.

"What is this? I eat well in this house, live well, and have people to serve me every day, even if I can't go out? ”

Qian Qianqian was suspicious, grinned, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she spoke easily.

"I know you, you are not greedy for such comforts, and you prefer the days of adventure and wandering outside to clothes and food."

Xiao Mohan saw Qian Qianqian's forced smile, and knew that Qian Qianqian was just comforting him by saying this, and the more Qian Qianqian was like this, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart.

"Actually, I can live any kind of life, I know that you are for my good, so I can understand what you do, don't worry, I don't blame you."

Qian Qianqian looked at Xiao Mohan so lold, and her heart was a little unhappy, like Xiao Mohan, a rebellious and noble person, now she bowed her head silently in front of her, and she was a little inexplicably distressed.

Xiao Mohan touched Qian Qianqian's head again, lightly hooked her thin lips, a faint smile appeared on her face, and her deep eyes were sensitive, making people unable to see it.

"Are you hiding something from me? If there is something really wrong, just say that as long as there is something I can help you with, I will do my best to help you. ”

Qian Qianqian looked at Xiao Mohan's expression, and always felt that something was wrong, Xiao Mohan was not usually such a person, but today he was suddenly like this, and something happened to him.

Xiao Mohan made up his mind in his heart, and was about to speak, when Wu Shun ran over from not far away, his steps were hurried, and his expression was full of eagerness.

"General, go and take a look, several adults in the court have sent congratulatory gifts, saying that they wish you a wedding in advance."

Wu Shun ran out of breath, and he couldn't care about saluting, and looked at Xiao Mohan to explain his intention.

Xiao Mohan's face was gloomy, there was no ripple in his eyes, as expected, he still came, and the emperor's decree to Baiguan was also issued very early.

"Big wedding? With whom? When Qian Qianqian heard this, she was suddenly surprised in her heart, looked up at Xiao Mohan, her hands clenched into fists, and her heart hung in her throat.

Although Xiao Mohan said several times before that he wanted to marry her, after all, the emperor has not yet given her marriage, and the eight characters have not been left behind, and now Xiao Mohan is suddenly getting married, is it possible that he really wants to marry her home?

Although Qian Qianqian said that she didn't like Xiao Mohan, she had actually given her heart to Xiao Mohan a long time ago, if she really wanted to marry Xiao Mohan this time, she didn't know how to deal with it.

"Princess Yangguo." Xiao Mohan lightly lifted his thin lips, spit out a few words lightly, his gaze moved downward, and he looked at Qian Qianqian, his eyes were calm and deep, making people unable to see the end at a glance.

When Qian Qianqian heard this, her body suddenly stiffened for a moment, her feet softened, she took half a step back, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from her palms.

She never thought that the person Xiao Mohan was going to marry was the princess of Yangguo, but she thought it was herself just now, so it seems that she is really amorous, if Xiao Mohan really marries the princess of Yangguo, she will never think about Xiao Mohan again.
