Zhou Jing walked into the imperial study and stood with his hands down.

"Prince Zhou has been in my Daqi these days, but it is still going well?" Qi Ning asked.

"It's all good!" The emperor asked inexplicably, and Zhou Jing also answered vaguely.

"I don't know if the prince is married or not?" Qi Ning asked with concern.

Zhou Jing pondered in his heart, and suddenly figured it out, is Qi Ran the emperor's daughter?

"Your Majesty, the marriage between the two countries is a major event, in love, in the intentions of both parties, in courtesy, and in the way of exchanges between great powers. However, bullying the small with the big and pressing the weak with the strong not only damages the prestige of the big country, but also makes the weak country unwilling, please think twice! Zhou Jing didn't want to refuse directly.

Qi Ning gasped, sure enough, he is a civil official, and his eloquence is not an ordinary person's opponent!

Qi Ning smiled bitterly: "What the prince said is very true, but~"

Qi Ning remembered that Qi Ran had gone crazy just now, and he had to marry Prince Hunan.

Speaking of this daughter, Qi Ning also looked helpless. She was her first child, she was still a prince at that time, although she was not favored, after marrying Zhao Ke, she did live a few comfortable days, and Qi Ran's birth also brought him infinite comfort.

It is precisely because of connivance that Qi Ran has become more and more domineering over the years, and now that I see her, I am sometimes afraid!

Seeing Zhou Jing's dignified appearance, he knew in his heart that his daughter was not worthy of him at all, but although this daughter was not good, she was also her own.

Qi Ning thought about it, and said: "Prince, my Daqi has prospered in the past few years, if Hu Nan and my country have a good relationship for a hundred years, I Da Qi will definitely do my best to help Hu Nan prosper!" ”

Zhou Jing said seriously: "Your Majesty, Da Qi helps Hu Nan prosper, and naturally the people will always remember Da Qi's kindness, and the emperor will also be written into my Hu Nan's 100-year history by historians, but if Hu Nan can only prosper by marrying with Da Qi, Da Qi will only help Hu Nan by marriage, and it will only lose the demeanor of a great country in the hearts of the people, saying that Da Qi consolidates his power by marriage!" ”

Zhou Jing bowed his head and remained silent after speaking.

I didn't listen to anything else, but the four words of consolidating the regime made Qi Ning uneasy, but no, why consolidate the regime? The incompetent emperor needs to be consolidated!

Qi Ning's heart was immediately unhappy: "Stop this matter, you go down!" I was a little dissatisfied with Qi Ran in my heart.

Zhou respectfully saluted, wiped his sweat, and finally settled the matter!

The attendants waited outside the door of the imperial study, and the two of them walked out of the Qianqing Palace.

Out of the palace passing through the imperial garden, only to walk to the door, suddenly ran out of a figure from inside, Zhou Jing dodged not in a hurry, straight into a full arms, Zhou Jing subconsciously stretched out his hand to support, and saw that it was a girl wearing a beaded hairpin and a blue jacket.

Because the two people collided together, the few books in the girl's hand were scattered on the ground.

When the girl saw that she had bumped into someone, she glanced at Zhou Jing, and suddenly lowered her head: "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Zhou Jing was taken aback, he didn't expect this girl to know him, and he also replied: "It's rude to bump into the girl, I don't know ...... girl."

The girl hurriedly lowered her body, and Zhou Jing also lowered her head to help her pick up the books scattered on the ground.

When she handed it to her, the girl hurriedly took it, her eyes dodging: "The little girl's name is Qi Xi, and she is the fifth princess!" Thank you, Your Highness the Prince! ”

Zhou Jing swept the books she picked up, "Foreign Objects" and "Guangling Miscellaneous Conversations", although she hadn't read them herself, but she knew that they were all strange and strange conversations, and she was also very curious about the hobby of the girl in front of her who did not match her image!

Qi Xi took the book and didn't move, seeing Zhou Jing looking at the two books in his hand, he said in a panic: "I wonder if the prince likes to read this kind of book?" ”

Zhou Jing shook his head: "I really haven't read it!" ”

Qi Xi suddenly put "Foreign Objects" in Zhou Jing's hand: "You take it and see it, meet here at noon the day after tomorrow, and you will return it to me!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Jing to speak, he turned around and ran!

Zhou Jing couldn't cry or laugh, glanced at each other with the attendants, felt inexplicable, and had no choice but to take the book all the way back to the palace.

Qi Ran was waiting in the side hall of the imperial study, thinking that if his father gave him a marriage, then he could conclude a good relationship with Zhou Jing, even if he went to Hu Nan together, he could accept it.

Fantasizing about being with Zhou Jing, thinking of his heroic and gentle appearance, Qi Ran couldn't help but snicker, listening to the eunuch Laibing, Zhou Jing had already left the imperial study, and Qi Ran hurried to listen to the results.

When he entered the imperial study and saw Qi Ning's calm face, Qi Ran knew that things were not good, lowered his voice, and said respectfully: "Father, ...... emperor"

Qi Ning was choked by Zhou Jing, and his anger was not yet out, looking at his longing daughter, Qi Ning was even more angry: "Don't mention this matter again in the future!" ”

Qi Ran panicked, and begged again and again: "Father, just promise your daughter, your father can give you a marriage directly, Hu Nan doesn't dare to disobey, my father begs you!" ”

Qi Ning looked at Qi Ran's ghost crying wolf, feeling aggrieved, Qi Ran was like Zhao Ke, her facial features were relatively compact, and her perennial personality was domineering, which made her face a little ruthless, she was not very old, but she was not as delicate and peaceful as her daughter's family.

Thinking of Zhou Jingpian's son-in-law, Qi Ning himself felt that it was inappropriate.

"This matter is related to the diplomacy of the two countries, how can you make nonsense, besides, Prince Hu Nan has no intention of you! Don't think about it anymore."

Qi Ning wanted Qi Ran to dispel the idea that he wanted to eat swan meat.

How do you know that Qi Ran didn't listen at all: "Father, let me have a daughter, my daughter can marry Hu Nan, I will follow Prince Zhou!" ”

Qi Ning almost wanted to smash something, beckoned to the palace maid, and rubbed his eyebrows: "Send Princess Changping back to the princess's mansion, then, this matter is over, my father doesn't want you to cause trouble, I heard that you followed Prince Zhou a few days ago, and I don't want to think about what kind of system you will be!" ”

Qi Ran cried and shouted that she was pulled out of the imperial study by the palace maid, and when she got out of the study, she immediately stood up and pulled down her face, and slapped her out of the palace maid, the palace maid covered her face and cried, not daring to speak, Qi Ran let the eunuch carry the sedan chair and leave.

Zhou Jing returned to the palace and fidgeted, holding the "Foreign Object Chronicles" in his hand, he didn't know the situation, he flipped through it casually, he didn't want the content to be interesting, and he couldn't help but read it.

On the third day, Zhou Jing thought about it and thought that he would go to the Imperial Garden at noon, and saw Qi Xi waiting there from a distance.

Zhou Jing was a little at a loss, feeling that this way of meeting was a bit strange.

Qi Xi was still in that panic, Zhou Jing returned the books and wanted to leave, but he didn't want Qi Xi to put two more books in his hands:

"I know that Prince Zhou read this "Foreign Object Chronicles" and found two more books, and the prince must like it too!"

Zhou Jing was helpless, if he wanted to say that he didn't read it, "Foreign Objects" was really interesting, and there was nothing special about coming to Daqi, and he also understood the customs of Daqi after reading the book.

""Foreign Objects" is really interesting, I don't want Daqi to have so many strange people!" Zhou Jing's heartfelt comment.

Qi Xi heard that he was interested in talking to her, and blushed and hurriedly said: "This is my favorite book, I don't know which story the prince likes?" ”

Zhou Jing thought about it: "It's very interesting for the fisherman to make trouble in the Liusha River, but I didn't expect the fisherman to save the life of the East China Sea Sea Maiden, and he actually became the enemy of the West Sea!" The story is bizarre! ”

As soon as Qi Xi heard Zhou Jing's story, he immediately said: "The East China Sea Maiden is the master of the four seas, and the West Sea wants to dominate the four seas, of course I don't want the Hai Mai to live!" ”

Zhou Jing had different views from her, and he didn't want to argue, so he didn't speak, Qi Xi thought that Zhou Jing agreed with her point of view, and he was happy in his heart.
