Happy days always fly by, and in a blink of an eye, it is the season of spring flowers.

The terrain of Tubo is high and cold, and spring comes later than in the plains, but because the new princess is from Daqi and is not accustomed to the terroir of other places, the king of Tubo took a group of ministers and family members to Linzhou to work, and by the way, he enjoyed the peach blossoms.

The ministers at the bottom have some opinions, and they feel that it is not appropriate to work for a woman and hurt the people's money, and I am afraid that it will arouse public anger.

As a result, they were all rejected by the king of Tibet.

"The prince's original words are that the first king was a beautiful man when he was three or five times, and he often asked for tribute from various places in the name of beauties, but he just married a new wife, and did not have many concubines, saving a lot of money for the treasury, how can he remember the anger of the people? At that time, the minister's face was simply beautiful~" Siluo covered her mouth and snickered.

Su Shi glared at her and scolded: "Little girl, you know how to parrot!" ”

Siluo, Jinxiu and others are naturally happy about her current situation, but this kind of thing is love, and Su Shi is not so cheeky to do it in front of her adult daughter.

Jinxiu seemed to see through her thoughts, and whispered: "The girl can't hear what we're talking about at this time, princess believe it or not?" ”

Su Shi turned his head, looked at Zhi Wei and sighed.

Originally, she and her husband brought Zhiwei over to enjoy the peach blossoms, so that she could enjoy the rare beauty of "Xiaojiangnan" in Tubo, and also to hide from the "marriage urging" of the Great Qi Emperor by the way.

As a result, what she never expected was that after she came, her girl only looked at a stick of fragrant flowers, turned her head and ran to chat with the old flower farmer who was guarding the peach forest.

When Zhiwei returned to the house, she rarely socialized with girls of the same age, but she tossed in the neglected back garden every day.

She didn't plant flowers, but planted the ground, saying that she would choose a better batch of existing Yuanmai seeds and bring them back to Wangcheng to try planting in two months.

Today, the mother and daughter came to the back garden to relax, resting under the flowerless shelf.

Zhiwei couldn't sit still, and walked to the side again to see if the seeds she had planted a few days ago had sprouted.

"Girl, this is too diligent! I don't know, maybe I think our prince treats this stepdaughter badly. ”

Siluo laughed and said, "Since the girl came, many princes and nobles outside want to bribe me and Sister Jinxiu, and want to inquire about the girl's appearance." If they knew that the girl usually didn't like embroidery, but loved farming, they didn't know if they would happily ask for marriage, or they would be so scared that they would run away~"

Jiang Xue glanced at Siluo and Su Shi with a smile, and confirmed from the latter's expression that Siluo was probably not aware of the content of the national letter.

"The girl's appearance is first-class and good, where are you afraid that no one will ask for marriage, but I am afraid that the princess feels sorry for the girl, and is reluctant to ask the girl to marry early, so she deliberately buries the girl like this. I don't know how sad those sons and brothers outside who want to ask to marry will be. ”

Su Shi smiled and did not answer.

Jiang Xue also had a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she was very bitter in her heart.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the slave doesn't fight for you, it's that your new mother-in-law doesn't eat hard and soft, and it's too difficult to buy!"

A month later, Zhi Wei returned to the royal city with the king of Tubo and his party, and still closed the door and engaged in inventions.

During this period, Daqi sent two or three letters, all of which euphemistically expressed the intention of asking the king of Tubo to consider the proposal in the previous letter.

After consulting the princess's opinion, the king of Tubo finally stopped just letting his subordinates ghostwrite Tai Chi, and personally replied to the letter.

Capital.

Huo Yanzhi's expression was a little strange when he received the letter.

Zhao Jiufu's scalp tightened, and he consciously closed his mouth, without any intimate care.

However, Huo Yanzhi refused to let him go, and said quietly: "Zhao Jiufu, what do you mean by me, the uncle of the Tubo prince?" ”

Zhao Jiufu was puzzled, and after receiving the letter thrown by the emperor, his face became sad.

"Something to say! When you're old, what kind of grimace are you doing? ”

Zhao Jiufu wiped his cold sweat bitterly, what did he say!

In the letter of the king of Tubo, he described his deep love with the new princess, and deliberately mentioned that he had been clean and self-conscious for many years, and there was no one else except for the two princesses before and after, and the implication was already obvious.

If he said directly, "Your Majesty, the King of Tubo dislikes your concubines too much and doesn't want to marry his stepdaughter to you", will Your Majesty punish him to go to the cold palace to sweep the floor?

Under the threat of Huo Yanzhi's gaze, he still squeezed out a sentence.

"The slave maid figured out, the king of Tubo loves the princess and loves the house and Wu, I'm afraid I don't want to marry Miss Zhiwei far away......"

Huo Yanzhihu asked, "Really? ”

"This ...... The slave and maid are just guessing randomly, and they can't do it accurately. However, it seems to have been mentioned when the Tibetan envoys came last time that the king of Tubo had a few promising young talents, and he was ready to choose a horse among them......"

"What?" Huo Yanzhi said angrily: "It's not possible, I'm not as good as a few ......"

He snorted indignantly, and did not continue.

Zhao Jiufu gritted his teeth, lowered his heart, and added: "The princesses under Your Majesty's knees, when he grows up, His Majesty chooses a colt, and naturally most of them will be selected among the unmarried young talents with clean nets. You can't let the princesses marry and be the mother of a half-grown child......"

The corners of Huo Yanzhi's eyes twitched heavily, as if he understood what Zhao Jiufu meant.

"Good slave, how dare you—"

Zhao Jiufu knelt down with a thud, but was silent, did not beg for mercy, and only knelt with a melancholy and pitiful face.

It was night, and the lights in the Qiande Palace were on until late.

Ten days later, the king of Tibet received a reply from his nephew.

He opened it with great interest, and didn't pay attention to the small lines of notes on the small envelope inside, almost so that his teeth fell out of his teeth.

"Go, go, go! Send it to the princess and let her see it for herself! ”

The sender didn't know what was going on, and he didn't tell Zhi Wei who sent the letter, and thought that it was a certain noble son in the country who had a love letter in the fold, so he couldn't help but snicker in private, and his eyes were full of ridicule.

Zhi Wei was a little inexplicable when she took the letter, and glanced at the content twice, but her face turned red.

"Well, who wrote this? How did you get it to me? ”

After the messenger relayed the original words of the Tubo King, Zhi Wei's heart jumped.

I am afraid that there are not many people in this world who can convey the letters that can be conveyed by the king of Tubo.

Not to mention, this poem is written about a love, a scene and a person at the Lantern Festival......

The little intelligence head Jiang Xue learned about this for the first time, and was so excited that she didn't sleep all night.

"Your Majesty has finally made a move, I don't have to eat tsamba here anymore, woo woo woo ~ If I don't go back to Beijing, my plateau red will not be able to disappear!"

But she wasn't happy for long.

Because, Zhiwei tossed and turned for most of the night on the day she received the letter, and it seemed to be back to normal after getting up the next day.

A few days later, another letter came from the capital.

This time, the king of Tubo didn't even look at it, and directly asked someone to transfer it to Zhiwei.

When I went back to the room that night, I also talked to Su Shi for a long time, to the effect that he belittled his nephew and bragged about himself.

Half a month has passed, and the secret letter from Daqi has formed a certain pattern, basically there is one letter in about five days, and the longest is not more than ten days.

Zhiwei will also reply to letters, but the frequency of replies is not high, about the rhythm of two letters returning one.

Naturally, no one knows what is written in the letter, except for the person who sent and received the letter on both sides.

However, a new news has quietly circulated in the palace of the Tibetan king.

Their new princess, who is beautiful, good-tempered, and very considerate, may be sent to make peace with Daqi!

As for who the object is, Bacheng is the one who sends love letters every three or five times!

Those who can send love letters to the palace, except for the princes and nobles, or the young talents valued by the king of Tubo, no one else needs to think about it!

Besides, although this new princess is not coming in the right way, she has the title of a princess in the end. The king of Tubo also loves the house and Wu, and it is not the best treatment for clothing, food, housing and transportation on weekdays. In addition, Zhiwei's temperament and appearance are all first-class and good, like such a good girl, where can ordinary people think of it?

The children born to the current king of Tubo and the previous princess are all adults, and the children of the former king of Tubo who survived last year's chaos have also been given the mansion and moved out of the palace to live.

As a result, the population of today's Tubo Palace is extremely simple, there is basically no conflict of interest, and the palace people below are living comfortably.

Because the rules are not as strict as the Great Qi Palace, it is more convenient for palace people to enter and exit the court, and there are many people who accept "bribes" like Siluo and try to speak for a certain prince in the country.

Long before the mysterious noble son of Daqi opened the Hongyan biography mode, there were one or two people who did this.

When Zhiwei was flooded with love letters, what these palace people brought was not love letters, but all kinds of small objects that carried the feelings of the admirers.

For example, a small fan, a jade pendant carved by yourself, and a few small fish......

On this day, Zhiwei even received a snow lotus, a rare flower that only grows on the snow-capped mountains that are shrouded in clouds and mist throughout the year.

In Tibet, there is another meaning to send this flower, which is courtship.

After coming to Tubo for a few months, Zhiwei also made up for some common customs, and when she saw this, she hurriedly asked people to "return", and even made a rare face, and moved out of the Su family as a backer.

The palace people looked dumbfounded, so they had to take the precious snow lotus out of the palace and return it to the son.

"It is said that the prince was so angry that he turned his head and went to propose to a little princess left by the previous old king~" Jiang Xue gloated.

Zhi Wei smiled, not caring at all.

Originally, she just didn't like to socialize, and she hadn't dealt with any noble son, and she hadn't even met twice, and it was at the banquet she had to attend. With just one side, I can't even speak, this kind of goodwill is too weak, even if the most precious flowers are used, it can't mean anything.

Jiang Xue recorded all these recent developments one by one, and prepared to report to His Majesty as they were, and mixed in in the name of sending a letter to his family.

She didn't know that the king of Tubo had already set his eyes on her, so he specially intercepted her "family letter", opened it and read it for a while with the afternoon refreshments, and used it as a pastime.

When Huo Yanzhi received this "whistleblower letter", his expression was a little bad.

This letter was obviously opened and read in advance!

After the incident in the middle of winter last year, the whole court was cleaned by him, and there were countless degraded queen mothers, and now, not to mention the singing and dancing of the government and the opposition, at least, no one has the courage to peek at his secret letters, leaving such obvious traces even more!

So, there is only one conclusion.

The king of Tibet did it on purpose!

As soon as Huo Yan became angry, he wrote a letter to this uncle by name, and his words were very intense.

After reading it, the King of Tubo pursed his lips and turned his head to complain to the Su family.

"You see, young people nowadays really don't have any patience, and now they want to threaten me! If you don't marry Zhiwei, you will have to double the border trade tax rate, tsk! ”

As he spoke, the king of Tubo said emotionally: "I think back then, you rejected me more than 20 times, but my heart was still as bright and loyal as the moon in the sky, and I never used power to force you to marry me......"

Su Shi pressed the corner of his forehead, and said helplessly: "Lord Wang, we are all old people, can we not always talk about these......"

The five big and three thick Tubo kings flattened their mouths.

She cleared her throat and said, "Let's talk about Zhiwei." What exactly is the prince going to do? ”

The king of Tubo immediately returned to normal, and said seriously: "It stands to reason that if you don't consider personal feelings, this matter will naturally be beneficial to the two countries." As for Zhiwei's intentions, the princess must have figured out a thing or two in recent months. Therefore, the key to this matter is whether the little emperor is firm in his mind and whether he can endure loneliness......"

"But I remember that in the last letter, he seemed to promise that if he could get Zhiwei as his wife, he would take you as a model and never lose up. Does the prince think that this guarantee is not enough? ”

"The man's words are not to be trusted...... Ahem, no, he just wants to ask this king to marry the princess, he wants to be beautiful! ”

The king of Tubo swore and said: "Don't worry, princess! The king had already sent a letter to a few people who stayed in the capital, ordering them to secretly make contacts and inquire about the situation in the harem. If he can't wait for these few months, and there is a new beauty or some other good news in the backyard, we can directly choose another good son-in-law. ”

Su had to be patient and continued to wait for a letter from the capital.

As a result, when the summer was almost over, she didn't wait for any "good news", but came with big bad news.

"What? Your Majesty accidentally fell from a horse and was seriously injured? How is this possible? Zhi Wei was shocked, and her little face turned pale.

She panicked for a moment, then quickly regained her senses.

"If it is seriously injured, this matter will definitely be hidden in the palace, how can it be publicized? I'm afraid it's not misinformation? ”

Su Shi said with a sad face: "I also hope it is fake news, but this message was uploaded by a Zhao Gonggong of Qiande Palace to the county king's mansion in person." There are also rumors in the market, but I don't know the severity of the injury. Come to think of it, it's probably true. ”

"Chief Manager Zhao personally went to the county king's mansion to deliver the message?"

Zhi Wei listened with some doubts.

After that, the news kept coming.

The previous rumor of a serious injury was clarified, saying that after all-out treatment, the injury is now fine.

But because of the head injury, it is difficult to get well in a short period of time, so I can only slowly recuperate.

"That's what I said, but I heard that he is now the king of Xinwang and is a member of the cabinet with several senior members." Su Shi said worriedly, "If you are not really seriously injured, how can you be like this?" ”

She was a little lucky, but fortunately she hadn't let go of her family affairs.

Otherwise, if she is a widow or wife before she gets married, or if she marries not long ago, she doesn't want her daughter to repeat her mistakes!

However, since the news came, the girl seemed to have changed as if she had changed and was more silent than before. Every day, I don't think about it, and I will talk to myself to the flowers and plants in the yard, and even the Yuan Mai that is about to mature in the back garden, as if I am talking to someone, and the tone will suddenly become intense because of different opinions.

"If the emperor is really bad, wouldn't he want to make her sad?"

Su Shi was afraid of stimulating Zhiwei, so he didn't dare to tell her in person, so he could only complain to the king of Tubo in private.

The latter's face was a little weird, "The princess doesn't have to worry too much about this matter......"

Su Shi was puzzled.

He looked left and right, deliberately waved everyone back, and only quietly explained behind closed doors.

"Actually, the king received a report that the little emperor was not seriously injured, but only a broken leg. However, he seems to have been thrown out of the way here...... "The king of Tubo nodded his head.

Su Shi was shocked, "What? Fell silly? No wonder you want others to imprison the country......"

"No, not stupid!"

The king of Tubo hurriedly explained, "It's just that there are some gods chattering, and they will talk to the ants on the ground when they have nothing to do, and they are quite normal at other times." The imperial doctor said that a very small number of people will have similar symptoms after hurting their brains, and it may not be when they will get better......"

Su finally put his mind at ease.

I didn't become a fool, but I just became a mute, which is not too bad.

But she doesn't want a mute emperor to be her son-in-law!

No, can a dumb man still be an emperor?

The two of them were pondering about this, and Zhi Wei suddenly came to Su Shi and said that he wanted to return to Daqi.

The two looked at each other and persuaded each other politely.

But Zhiwei was very determined, and she also gave a box of Yuanmai seeds that were said to have a higher yield, saying that this was a gift to the king of Tubo, and it was a thank you gift for her time in Tubo.

The king of Tubo didn't care about studying this strange thank-you gift, and began to send Zhiwei back to Daqi.

Zhi Wei was about to refuse, but she couldn't stand Su's request, so she had to reluctantly agree.

She was so anxious that she didn't care about anything else, and when she set off, she was dumbfounded when she looked at the mighty convoy.

This looks like a temporary trip, and it's clearly like a dowry, right?

The king of Tubo waved his hand, saying that although our Tubo is poor, it is not poor enough to ask his own girl to be hard and simple. Not to mention, there are many bandits in Shudi, and if it happens again, it will not be good.

Su Shi coughed twice next to him before he quietly added.

"Half of these things were prepared by your mother, and this time you will be far away, so you can bring them by the way, so that you don't have to go back and send someone to transport them again, which saves trouble! It's also considered prepared, haha~"

Hearing these implicit and ridiculous words, her face was hot, and even the worries in her heart were abandoned.

This time, I'm afraid it's really hard to come back.

The convoy stopped and stopped, driving very slowly, and it took several days before entering the territory of Daqi.

On this day, Zhiwei was drowsy in the car, and when she was half-asleep and half-awake, she seemed to hear a familiar voice calling her to change the tea.

She woke up suddenly, realizing that she had only dreamed of the past.

"Even if that person is here, where can he speak?"

Suddenly, there was a whistle outside, and the frame slowly stopped.

"But to the station?" She asked Jiang Xue, who came in with the probe.

The latter looked strange, shook his head and said, "No." It's just that the road ahead is blocked, and I can't get through......"

Zhi Wei was a little confused, and lifted the curtain to look out.

I saw a young man in front of him, carrying a wooden cage in his hand, containing two big birds with fluttering wings, walking briskly on the yellow weeds, with steady legs and feet, and no weakness that had just recovered from a serious illness.

Because of the backlight, Zhi Wei couldn't see the faces of the visitors clearly for a while, but the familiar shape made her heartbeat suddenly beat out of rhythm.

The man suddenly paused, lifted the cage in front of him, and seemed to say something. Then, the two big birds slowly stopped struggling and stood up obediently.

A faint voice came from the wildflowers on the side of the road: "Tsk, why are these two geese so stupid, I really believe it when I let them go for a while~ Humans can trust it, sows can go up the tree~"

"Hey, that person isn't ......," Jiang Xue exclaimed quietly.

Zhiwei sat there in a daze, speechless.

It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like only a moment, and the wooden cage and the people behind the wooden cage stood in front of her.

"I'm alone, I don't have anything long, I only have a sincere promise with this pair of live geese, I wonder if the girl is interested in accepting it?"

Zhi Wei was stunned, and actually burst out laughing.

"It's just a couple of live geese trying to send me away?"

She turned her head majestically and said to Jiang Xue: "Tell this disciple the identity of this princess!" ”

Jiang Xue nodded bitterly, and smiled apologetically at the previous master.

Huo Yanzhi acted as if nothing happened, and directly leaned on the window of the car, stuffed the wooden cage in his arms, and shocked the second daughter to exclaim.

He smiled and said, "It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the princess who came from a foreign country!" It just so happens that the treasury has been empty recently, and there is only one title left in the poor, I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess is interested in listening to me? ”

As he spoke, he touched the carriage very familiarly.

Under the silent command, the convoy resumed its previous slow pace.

There was a moment of silence in the main frame, and a soft grunt was heard.

"I knew that the king of Tubo and his mother had ulterior intentions, and it turned out that they were teaming up with you to deceive people!"

"Well, it's not a lie, I did accidentally break my hand......"

"What about the king and the country?"

"Oh, I broke my right hand, and my head ......."

The car gradually moved away, and the laughter inside was torn apart by the wheels, and flew away to an unknown distance under the influence of the autumn wind.
