Above the palace banquet, silk and bamboo are wrapped around the beams.

The girl in a moon-white dress sat on the side, An Kang's face was as usual, but her hands hidden under the table were tightly clutching the corners of her skirt, and her palms were sweaty.

She tried to make herself look calm and calm, not to be looked down upon by the envoys of Shu.

"Sister," trembled at this soft call, and turned around to see her sister standing behind her. An Ning sat down and held her cold hand, only then did she know that she was overly nervous, and the strings were jumping too tightly, "Don't be afraid." ”

Nodding, An Kang looked at his mother's position and said softly, "Have you apologized to A-Niang?" ”

"Well, I've been coaxed, don't worry."

"Don't make her angry like this in the future, Sister told you that the concubine of the Su family is too shrewd, and she is the prince of the southern country, and it is not a good thing for him to leave such a woman in the harem." Su Su said, as if to explain everything to her.

An Ning remembered that Sister Ah had told her these words before she got married.

But at that time, she was immersed in the sorrow and farewell, she didn't take her sister's words to heart at all, and she was crying and crying about what Sister was gone, and the best thing she could do in the south was Su Jinxiu, who had to comfort her in turn.

"I know, sister, we will have time to discuss these in the future, you don't have to be in such a hurry."

"How can I not be in a hurry, I ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw someone come over, pursed his lips, and swallowed back all the words that followed.

"Sister Kang, Sister Ning, you came so early." The delicate girl's voice was charming, Qi Anle smiled, and she looked like she was watching a play, "Sister, isn't this dress too plain, what you want to see is the envoy of the future husband, it doesn't seem appropriate to dress so plainly." ”

"By the way, I remembered, people say that if you want to be pretty, you are filial, whether the eldest sister is happy about this family business, and wants to make herself pretty, or does she not like this family business, and I wish the king of Shu was dead?"

Before An Kang attacked, An Ning took over the conversation, "I'm afraid you're not blind, don't you see that this skirt is still painted with red edges and embroidered with broken flowers, is it possible that Concubine Qiao's hometown has such a custom, the second sister is well-informed, and our sisters have never heard of it." ”

Yan Bi smiled at her, she was the one who wanted to be a widow in this life.

With a snort, Qi Anle's eyes obviously became a little resentful.

Qiao's pair of children are a good dragon and a man, but the brain is probably called my sister alone. Qi Anyi will only bully people every day, but Qi Anle is different, the surface is silent, but in fact, the most important thing is to compare, and the eyes must be repaid.

At that time, the court was unstable, and Grandpa didn't have the strength to pay attention to the two of them, and turned a blind eye to many things, even though the two brothers and sisters became more and more bold and reckless, and later Changyue Palace even raised a bunch of noodles for them to have fun, and the two even often asked the same person to serve.

Once, after being tossed all night, a new noodle head smashed Qi Anle's vase in a daze, and was ordered by her to pour fierce medicine for a group of internal officials to humiliate, and tortured people to death.

As soon as she thought of this, An Ning was even more determined to send her to Shu.

Maybe you have a good relationship with the other party.

"Look at her, she doesn't care about herself, she wears red and green, and like her mother, she has to be in the limelight in everything." Seeing that the other party was gone, An Ning puffed out his cheeks and scolded.

"Maybe I should be like her, after all, if you marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, no one will choose a woman who is flamboyant to be his wife." Staring at his clothes, Ankang was made even more uncomfortable by the sentence "If you want to be pretty and filial".

"Sister is good-looking, and she wears the same everything, which is called natural beauty and hard to give up." wanted to make her happy, An Ning glanced at her sister's maidservant, but she didn't expect it to backfire.

Xia Ji saw that his master was uncomfortable, and couldn't help but complain, "People say that there are many beautiful women in Shu, why doesn't the monarch of Shu find a daughter-in-law in his own house, and he wants Baba to come to our south to ask for marriage, and Your Majesty is really, since the strength of the two countries is equal, why should our Highness be wronged, it's a big deal to fight." ”

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense." An Kang was afraid that the people in his palace would cause some trouble, so he hurriedly stopped, "What does Grandpa want to do, it's your turn to put the beak." ”

Hearing this, Dong Xi pulled La Xiaji's sleeve and signaled her to shut up, "Fortunately, only the third princess is here, otherwise you will be listened to by someone with a heart, and you are afraid that you will be beaten to death." ”

"What's the matter if the slave and maid don't die, the slave and maid are distressed princesses, the mountains and rivers of Shu are far away, and the princess is pampered, how can she stand it."

Seeing that Sister A's eyes were red, An Ning hurriedly interrupted them, "Okay, okay, you said that the mountains and rivers are far away, don't you still understand why Grandpa agrees to make peace?" ”

Yan Bi really succeeded in diverting the other party's attention, "Why, the third princess knows?" ”

patted the dim sum scum on his hand, and took another sip of tea, An Ning deliberately hung An Xia, for fear that she would talk nonsense again, "Of course I know." ”

Because these Xun domains have told her.

"Shu occupies a dangerous country, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a country of abundance, and there is plenty of food, but there is no barrier in our southern country, so if we really fight, we will suffer."

"Then why don't they send troops?"

Stretched out his hand and knocked on her head, only to realize that he had unconsciously learned all the sets of Xun Yu, stunned for a moment, and then withdrew his hand and continued.

"Because the southern country is well developed, the upper can connect the northern country, and the lower can take into account the clouds, if Shu wants to develop the economy, it can't do without the help of the southern country, and the relatives can make each other scruple about each other, and they will be prosperous, not to mention, the money spent on marrying a daughter-in-law is much less than raising soldiers, and this account can be calculated as long as the other party is not a fool." Those words imprinted in his mind can be said without even thinking about it, and An Ning took a sip of tea, only to feel very bitter.

"It's all to blame on the northern country, why did you send the proton to us, if it is sent to Shu country, don't be afraid."

"Okay, okay, you can say a few words, you will talk more." Dongxi glanced at Natsuji helplessly, for fear that her chatter would attract the attention of others.

The northern kingdom borders Shu is a high mountain, and the king of Shu is not a fool, so there is no need to cross the mountains and mountains to fight a country that does not pose any threat to them, in case the southern kingdom takes advantage of the weakness, then they will be attacked by the enemy.

Xunyu was sent by his uncle along with the three cities on the border, ostensibly in exchange for three years of grain for the northern kingdom, but in fact, it was to give the other party a time and reason to seek power and usurp the throne.

If it weren't for Grandpa's kindness and seeing through this, Xun Yu would not have been able to go back alive.
