Chapter Eighty-Four: The Eastern Country
Gu Qianye wanted to knock on Su Xiyan's head again, but her thoughts were all on her face, and those dark eyes wrote all her doubts and puzzles in them, so why do you need to guess.
Forget it, I'll make her cry again later, that's really terrible.
Gu Qianye took a deep breath and began to popularize science for Su Xiyan.
"The country in which we live is called the Eastern Realm, as its name suggests, in the easternmost part of this realm. The current royal family is surnamed Chu, and there have been seven emperors to this day. ”
It is only seven terms, and it seems that the country he is in has not been established for a long time, Su Xiyan secretly thought to himself and did not answer.
"According to the ancestors who opened up the territory to the present, except for the sea area, the place above the north, the south, the left, the west, the right and the east have evolved into four countries after time migration, namely the Eastern Border Kingdom, the Northern Desert Kingdom, the Nanyue Kingdom, and the Western Chu Kingdom. However, the land occupied by the four countries is not the same, and our eastern border country is the most extensive, the first of the four countries. The second is the Western Chu State, and the other two countries are not much different. ”
"The Northern Desert Country is the closest to our eastern border, and the relationship between the two countries is better than that of the other two countries, and there are often merchants and visitors who come and go to each other, and they will also pay tribute to the eastern border every year."
This should be the Friendship State, the north is backed by the east, and the other two will naturally not bully it.
Gu Qianye saw that Su Xiyan was listening carefully, so he continued: "Therefore, the royal families of the two countries will also use marriage to tie up the relationship between the two countries, and my mother is the third princess of the Northern Desert Kingdom. ”
Su Xiyan was stunned! She had heard that Gu Qianye's mother was from the Northern Desert, but she didn't know that she was actually a princess.
She really wanted to know how the princess of a dignified country married the general of a neighboring country, her curious eyes kept blinking, and curiosity was about to overflow from the bottom of her eyes.
"My mother's name is Bai Zhixin." Gu Qianye's eyes were slightly heavy, and he slowly looked up at the moon, his eyes becoming more and more ethereal, as if he was chasing a distant memory.
"Fifteen years ago, the Western Chu State raised troops to attack the Northern Desert, and the Northern Desert and the Eastern Territory were well taught, and the emperor at that time asked my father to lead troops to the Northern Desert to help. My mother has been fond of dancing and writing since she was a child, and that time she appointed the leading general of the Northern Desert, and it was at that time that my mother and father met. ”
Su Xiyan couldn't help but sigh, Madame Bai's women didn't let her eyebrows, she could imagine a woman, wearing armor and riding on a horse, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers going out to fight, no wonder Gu Qianye was able to lead the army to fight with the tiger talisman at a young age, this is all the inheritance of her parents, right? She thought to herself.
"My father and mother fell in love in disguise after that battle, and after my father returned to the dynasty, he asked the emperor of the east at that time for marriage, and also wrote a letter of marriage to the northern desert, but the emperor of the east agreed, but my grandfather was unwilling to marry my mother."
Bai Zhixin is the youngest princess of the Northern Desert, the emperor of the Northern Desert at that time, that is, Gu Qianye's maternal grandfather, loved her the most, the emperor of the Northern Desert at that time only gave birth to three daughters, the eldest daughter had been married a few years ago, he wanted to pass the throne to Bai Zhixin, so he did not agree to this family business.
But the fact that the Northern Desert Emperor wanted to hand over the throne to Bai Zhixin was known to the patriarch of the Bai tribe, and he strongly opposed the passing of the Northern Desert throne to the female stream, so that the Northern Desert Emperor could have another son, if not, he could only pass it on to the eldest son of the Bai family.
You must know that the Northern Desert Emperor was already in his sixties at the time, where would he give birth to a son?
