In the imperial garden, Gu Ji walked slowly, followed by a retinue and maidservants, and Li Gongcheng, the leader, nodded and followed beside him.

He had nothing to do, and he didn't want to talk to the harem women about the past, even if there were always people who wanted to hear something from him.

Even the people next to the pillow can't listen to their heartfelt words, which is really a difficult thing, so there are a lot of bits and pieces of gossip, and the emperor will unknowingly confide in Gonggong Li.

He asked, "What do you think of His Royal Highness King Cong's proposal this morning?" ”

Gonggong Li is an extremely shrewd person, and he won't say a word that shouldn't be said, he smiled in a low voice: "This ...... His Royal Highness King Cong is wise and martial, and although the old slave doesn't understand it very well, His Majesty nodded, presumably this is also a good thing for me Tiansheng. ”

The emperor glanced back at the person and snorted: "You will pick up words." ”

Gonggong Li smiled and said, "What Your Majesty said is true." ”

"I ...... There are so many children, but the only one who can't understand it is this Gu Congyuan. His somewhat dazed eyes revealed three points of amazement.

Gonggong Li also said something he wanted to say rarely, and said with a smile: "However, in the eyes of the old slave, His Royal Highness King Cong is the one who is most similar to His Majesty, and he has his own pride and generosity in his bones, which is the most rare." ”

Gu Ji was comforted by the sycophancy, and laughed a few times.

That night, he drew up a memorabilia and ordered someone to send it to Dongying, but within a few days, there was movement, not that the messenger of the Tiansheng Dynasty was fast, but that the Dongying people were faster.

It turned out that they had long had the intention of cooperating with Tiansheng, and when the matter reached Lu Yao's ears, it was said that Dongying had already sent someone over, and they were in a hurry to see the demeanor of the Tiansheng Dynasty.

After another month or so, the visitors from Dongying were late, and they were able to arrive at the palace early the next morning, so someone arranged the mission in advance in a post station outside the capital.

When Lu Yao was arranging Gu Congyuan's collar, Yuan Bao was chattering on the side: "Daddy!" Yuan Bao hasn't seen Dongying people yet! I want to see the ingots too! ”

Gu Cong tilted his head and showed a shallow smile to the person: "When you grow up, you will be able to go to the court." ”

"Hmm......" Yuan Bao couldn't think of the twists and turns, so he bit his finger and asked, "Is that all Dongying people wear black clothes and wear black veils?" ”

Gu Congyuan lowered his eyes slightly and looked at his dark gold-rimmed robe, and was silent.

Lu Yao laughed and said, "Yuanbao, the one in black...... It may not all be Dongying people, and it may be your father. ”

So in the shout of Yuanbao "I want to go too", Gu Congyuan said goodbye to Lu Yao, and hurried to the palace, intending to welcome the visitors from Dongying.

When Gu Congyuan arrived, he saw Gu Ziyan dressed in the Jinluan Palace at a glance, that person was majestic and high-spirited, as if he was deliberately showing off Tiansheng's rich wealth, and he actually wore the most expensive clothes on his body, and he was a peacock shaking his head and tail, showing off silently.

Gu Ziyan's chin was slightly raised, he glanced at Gu Congyuan, and showed a subtle expression: "Why did the second brother come here dressed so shabby?" ”

Gu Congyuan has a straight waist and slender legs

The dark brocade robe of the day was restrained and resolute and handsome, and he stood still and said: "This king is here to greet guests, not to go on a blind date, why bother to make a show?" Do you want to take this opportunity to marry a wife? ”

Gu Ziyan remembered that he had been teased by the court some time ago, but in the end, he was teased, and the matter of trade with Dongying was finally settled, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

The Dongying delegation had not yet arrived, so the ministers standing around began to discuss.

"Lord Wang, have you heard? This time, it turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dongying, it is said that this Royal Highness is a martial artist, handsome, and has studied for several years in Tiansheng Qingxin, and now the speech and demeanor are no different from the Han people. ”

"I really didn't expect the crown prince to come in person......

"That's not all, there is another princess who came with her, and she is also a very smart girl, like her brother, the brother and sister have a good relationship, so they came together!"

With everyone's gossip and discussion, Gu Congyuan saw the envoys who came against the light, and he didn't know who said, "Dongying people are here", and the other ministers who were boiling against Yingtian could only shut their mouths, and in the eyes of everyone expectantly, thirty or forty people came outside the main hall.

About half of them were descendants brought by the crown prince and princess from Dongying.

Because most of the people stopped outside the hall and stopped, only three people slowly walked into the Jinluan Palace, all dressed in kimonos, and the young men led by them were exceptionally delicate, neither humble nor arrogant, and it seemed that it was the prince of Dongying, Akagi Shinyang.

And the girl who followed a small jasper family behind him looked a little shy and scared, and he only followed his brother's steps, this is Her Royal Highness Akagi Sakurako, the princess of Dongying.

And the eldest man was a little domineering, and walked in with a beard on his chin and clogs on his feet, and came slowly, this should be the envoy brought by Dongying.

Gu Congyuan slowly furrowed his eyebrows.

Gu Ziyan snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "It seems that this envoy is more noble than the two highnesses?" I don't feel happy to see him like that. ”

"Not necessarily." Gu Congyuan said lightly, "Those people with honey mouths and swords are often more terrifying than those who are arrogant on the surface. ”

The crown prince raised his golden chin, glanced at Gu Congyuan and said: "It's not that the second brother, you have done a good job, you have to do any trade with Dongying, is it possible that you are now also the head of Tongfu Merchants, and there are only interests in your eyes?" ”

The man replied quietly: "It's good to have interests in my eyes, but it's not only the personal interests of this king, but also the interests of the Tiansheng Dynasty." ”

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say." Gu Ziyan looked at him with disdain and said.

When the two of them were about to choke up again, the three of them had already walked to the front of the hall, and Gu Ji lowered his voice slightly and said, "What are you two talking about?" ”

"Nothing, nothing." Gu Ziyan hurriedly fooled over, after all, he was in front of the Dongying envoys, and he didn't want to lose face after all.

Akagi Xinyang saluted Gu Ji according to Dongying's rules, and then looked at the two people behind him, and introduced: "Your Majesty, this is my sister Akagi Sakurako, and the one next to me is the envoy who is responsible for negotiating with Tiansheng's courtiers this time, and his name is Akagi Hui." ”

Dongying people are really polite, and even Gu Ziyan is a hypocrisy

The serpent's good hand couldn't resist it, so he looked at it leisurely.

Just when Gu Ji was polite with them, the prince caught a glimpse of the little princess from Dongying, what should be the name of Akagi Sakurako......

"Hmm." When the girl saw Gu Ziyan, her delicate cheeks like cherry blossoms were slightly red, and after hitting her sight, she hurriedly dodged, lowered her head slightly, and looked shy and seductive.

Gu Ziyan raised his eyebrows a little puzzled, if he remembered correctly, he had nothing to do with this Akagi Sakura, why did she have a fragrant cheek as soon as she saw her, could it be that Fang Xin secretly agreed?

The prince was a little proud for a while, but he was not a romantic person, and he had no pursuit of women, and the only thing that satisfied him was that Akagi Sakurako did not blush and be shy when she looked at Gu Congyuan.

Gu Congyuan didn't intend to compare these things with the crown prince at all, he swept lightly to Chimu Xinyang, and found that the man's Chinese was even more fluent than the mountain people in remote areas, and he didn't know how long he had lived in the Tiansheng Dynasty.

"This time I came by the order of the emperor, and the trade will naturally be successful, but it's just ......" Akagi Nobuyo wanted to say goodbye.

As soon as the emperor heard that the trade could be done, and the conditions of the two sides were comparable, his heart suddenly brightened, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "It's just what? ”

The handsome man looked a little weak, and when he spoke, he was also roundabout and went around in circles: "It's just that I ask Your Majesty to agree to the next condition." ”

Gu Ji laughed: "Since you have arrived at my Jinluan Palace, why should you be polite?" You can have something to say! ”

Chimu Xinyang smiled slightly, and said softly: "I want to marry my sister to Tiansheng." ”

As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and everyone present was fried for a while.

Akagi Xinyang waved his hand slightly, and the girl behind him who was as bright as autumn water stepped forward and bowed slightly to the emperor.

The envoy also spoke at this time: "The prince of the Tiansheng Dynasty is like a cloud, I don't know which prince of the right age can marry our princess?" ”

Gu Ziyan was still smug just now, but he didn't jump out to snatch the credit now, he was most annoyed that the warblers and Yanyan were jealous of the competition between women, so he didn't plan to marry a few more.

He has the gentle and elegant Zhao Qinghe, and Su Qingyan is also hidden by his golden house, in terms of male and female love, Gu Ziyan seems to have no luxury.

The ministers above the court were worried for a while, and suddenly they started to discuss, after all, there are only a few highnesses who can get on the stage, although they are in the royal family, they can't help themselves, but they can insert a wife in plainly, which highness can adapt to it?

The prince already has a concubine, so let Princess Dongying leave her hometown and marry her as a concubine? This is absolutely impolite.

However, other princes may not be able to succeed, Gu Ji slowly swept around, and his eyes fell on Gu Congyuan, who was calm and relaxed.

Gu Congyuan subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he happened to meet the emperor's gaze: "King Cong, Princess Dongying is beautiful and fragrant, and the position of the concubine in your house is just vacant, I don't know what you think?" ”
