Before that, she thought that she would be doing her favorite ordnance development in Dongqiguo, she thought that she would marry the handsome and extraordinary major general Dongqi when she was a few years older, she thought that the future of Dongqiguo would be full of difficulties and obstacles, she would face it with a high-spirited attitude, and her whole person was vigorous and uninhibited.

Before that, he was the only child of the late prime minister, and a child who was only six years old, he was cold and alienated, taciturn, and the whole person was shrouded in a layer of sorrow, he was thin and weak, and behind him was the Wan Qi family, which was about to decline, and he inherited his father's unique appearance, which surpassed men and women, amazing and unparalleled in the world, but in addition to this appearance often made people look sideways, there was no minister and nobleman in the entire Dongqi Kingdom who put him in his eyes, Except that Dongqi Emperor and Xing Ran were a little more attentive to him.

If Princess Xingran is the sunlight fireworks that erupt from the sea level in the early morning, shining on everything on the sea with a bright posture and dazzling light, there is nothing that cannot be infected by her, then Wan Qishu is the last ray of sunlight Although the sun sinks in the west, the vast mist floating on the sea surface, this mist makes there is no trace of color between heaven and earth, leaving only boundless cold silence and loneliness.

But that day on, everything was different.

Princess Xingran has changed from a much-loved princess to an item that can be exchanged for soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom, and even the Dongqi Emperor who loves her the most acquiesce, and the hundred officials looked at each other: I thought that this princess was the pearl of the palm that the Dongqi Emperor was unwilling to give up, but before the country was in danger, the pearl in the palm could also be handed over, Princess Xingran, but that's it.

Wan Qishu was the only one who disapproved of the princess and his relatives, and the three reasons were shocking and sonorous, which shook the court and embarrassed the officials, and everyone began to look at the child again, and all of them felt terrible: Is this really the opinion of a six-year-old child? If he can say these words at the age of six, then after the age of ten or twenty, what kind of point will he lead Jinguo to?

Separated by a few ministers, a few feet away, Xing Ran turned his head and glanced at Wan Qishu in a trance: I haven't seen him for a few months, this younger brother has grown a little taller and more powerful.

Wan Qishu seemed to feel the bright gaze cast not far away, so he raised his head and met Shang Xingran's eyes.

He originally thought that Xing Ran would be surprised, appreciated, and would run over and hug him as before, and say to him, "Brother Xiaoshu, you are so smart!" ”

But no, the Xing Ran he saw was calm, indifferent, without struggling and resisting.

This made him panic suddenly, and then he understood why Xing Ran was like this and what she was going to do, so he ignored the staring eyes of the ministers, shook his head with Xing Ran, trying to stop her-

But it was too late, Xing Ran lifted the silver skirt and knelt down to Emperor Dongqi and said, "Although Brother Xiaoshu is right, Erchen is still willing to go. Erchen thought that it was better to be annexed by the same race than to be slaughtered by a foreign race. Besides, if you don't go to Jinguo to borrow troops and give it a try, how can you be sure that you can't borrow it. ”

Emperor Dongqi hesitated, but Xue Mo bowed again: "The minister agrees with what the princess said." ”

She smiled a little, her eyes swept over Xue Mo, and fell on Emperor Dongqi: "But Erchen has one condition. ”

"Xing Ran, it's okay, I will do my best to satisfy you."

"This time to Dajin, if the son borrows soldiers and horses, he will not come back, and directly keep Jinguo to marry His Royal Highness the King of Chong'an; If you fail to borrow soldiers and horses and return in vain, I hope that your father will allow your sons to marry whoever you marry in this life, and your sons will make their own decisions. "After that, the throne in the palace was upright and made a great salute.

"I'm right." Emperor Dongqi agreed quickly, and promised without even thinking about it, "From now on, if you fancy anyone, I will preside over it for you and recruit him as a concubine!" ”

The corners of Xing Ran's lips curled, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes. She glanced at Xue Mo leisurely, only to see that Xue Mo was also looking at her, and there was a complexity in her deep eyes that she couldn't see through.

She smiled even wider, and she didn't put it away until there was a hint of panic in the eyes that were staring.

Xue Mo, are you so afraid that this princess will marry you? She felt that this matter was a little ridiculous, but when she thought about it, a large piece of sadness arose in her heart.

Also sad is Wan Qishu in the main hall.

Although the Emperor of Dongqi praised him: "Wan Qishu, you are smarter than your father, he was six years old, but he was still confined to the pavilions and pavilions, winter to spring, and what he wrote did not involve the family and the country, the world and the people were in danger, and you were six years old in deliberations, you have clearly discerned the situation, to the point, and what you said is deafening and sighing." Your father entered the Criminal Department at the age of ten as a director, was promoted to the head of the Criminal Department at the age of twelve, and became a minister at the age of sixteen. From this day on, I will also put you in charge of the Criminal Department, but it will be up to you to surpass your father in the future. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall shook.

This...... This is the meaning of waiting for Wan Qishu to be the prime minister.

But Wan Qishu just thanked him calmly, looking not happy, and even a little unhappy.

By the time they went to the Chaosan, the last quarter moon had hung in the east sky. Xing Ran ran under the moon, and finally caught up with Xue Mo, who was striding meteors.

"Xue Mo, why are you walking so fast, I can't catch up with you." She pretended to smile lightly, and the moonlight was cool and thin, like a curtain of fine veil, shallow on her face.

Xue Mo quietly stepped back half a step, kept a distance from her, and bowed down, very politely: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's not too early, please go back to the palace early to rest, you have to send an envoy to Jinguo tomorrow morning." ”

"Thank you for the reminder, but I don't know why, I'm not sleepy at all now," she faced him, walked half a step further, looked him in the eye, and asked with a smile, "Young General, do you remember what I said in the palace just now?" If this trip is successful, I will stay in Jinguo and marry King Chong'an directly, and I will not be able to return to Dongqi in this life. ”

It's been a whole night, Xue Mo's eyes finally showed some unbearable, he looked down at her, his brows furrowed deeply: "Princess, Xue Mo is sorry." ”

"Don't say sorry, you have thought of a way for your father, relieved your sorrows, and found a way for Dongqi to live, you have done a good job. It's just ......" She always had a big smile on her face when she said this, but for some reason, her heart was so sour, that emotion bubbled up to the bottom of her eyes, and her eyes began to damp with stimulation, but she still looked at his eyes boldly, "I also want to know why." So, I chased it out. ”

I also wonder why.

Am I not pleased enough with you, don't you know my affection, why do you push me to others?

At that moment, Xing Ran had already accepted the result, but she still wanted to know why.

The night wind swept silently, leaving Xue Mo's dense and long eyelashes fluttering a few times, and he thought for a long time before he said: "Princess, not all men want to be concubines, and not all men should like you. Even if you are indeed smart, you are indeed beautiful. But you still have a chance, don't you, as long as you come back, you can still ask Your Majesty for marriage, and you can also let me be your concubine. ”

Maybe the wind was too cold, or maybe this sentence was too lonely, she couldn't help but shudder, and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Yes, as long as Princess Ben can come back, I can still let you be my concubine." ”

"As long as the princess doesn't mind that I have someone else in my heart, I don't mind being the nominal husband of Her Royal Highness the princess." Xue Mo's tone was full of helplessness.

"Can you tell Princess Ben who that girl is?"

Xue Mo frowned again: "What does the princess want to do?" ”

She chuckled: "The young general thinks highly of me, this princess has never killed anyone so far, and she doesn't dare to kill anyone." ”

……

Speaking of this, Xing Ran suddenly laughed a few times, staring at my eyes through the thick tea mist: "Lord Qin, who do you guess his sweetheart is?" ”

This question made me stunned, and I smiled dumbly: "How can I guess it?" When I was young, I still couldn't recognize the generals, young masters, and princes of the southern kingdom, let alone you who started the country in the east. Besides, I've never met him, and I don't know what kind of girl he likes. ”

"But he's seen you," Xing Ran squinted at me like a joke, "you're his true sweetheart." Princess Ben later learned that in order to keep your southern kingdom for you, he did not hesitate to let this princess go to Jinguo to borrow troops to disperse the forces under King Chong'an, so that they could not break through the southern kingdom in a short time. ”

Ben Shoufu, there seems to be a high wall in his mind, and it collapsed with a bang.

There are only a few sons I dealt with when I was young, Xue ...... Which one is Xue Mo? When did he see me, and why did he look at me?
