"This thing, it's really mysterious...... Bai Yucheng slowly stroked the projection, his eyes full of admiration, "There must be many secrets in this thing that have not yet been solved, let's bring this thing back to the prince's mansion for the time being, and the future will be long." ”

"Good ......"

Just as Ji Lianmei put the small box into her cuffs, a figure suddenly flashed behind her, wearing a black robe to hide her face, holding a silver scimitar and stabbing at Ji Lianmei.

"Be careful!" Bai Yucheng stepped forward and took Ji Lianmei into his arms, but he didn't have any weapon in his hand, so he could only raise his arm to block the blade.

The man in black saw that the knife was about to stab Bai Yucheng, and he retracted his strength in time, but the knife still left a deep wound on Bai Yucheng's arm.

"Who are you that you dare to assassinate this king?" Bai Yucheng hugged Ji Lianmei tighter, and asked in a loud voice with sharp eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, but staying with the same maid in the middle of the night, what kind of system." The man slowly removed the veil from his face and took off his black robe, revealing his sun-golden hair.

"Asai Bena, why are you?" Bai Yucheng was a little shocked.

A month ago, Xianbei side plugged.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, I heard that the defeat of the Wu State was the result of the Nine Emperors of the Wu Kingdom, no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Song Kingdom. His Royal Highness Bai Yucheng has returned to the Great Song Dynasty from the State of Wu in recent days, taking charge of the Hanlin Academy and accepting the shocking military power. ”

"Hehe, I know that this man looks elegant, but in fact, he is also an ambitious and ambitious person, and he is even more powerful in terms of strategy. Yes, he deserves to be the man I fancied. ”

The woman leaned on the long wooden chair covered with tiger skin, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her smile was unruly and wild, not stained with the world, and she was heroic in a military uniform, like a branch and a tree, planted in the white water of Black Mountain, and her body exuded a glass-like brilliance. After the blowing of the wind and sand and the baptism of blood, the beautiful face gradually became angular, the original soft skin also became rough, and the blonde hair was tied up, making the woman more heroic and sassy, and the woman did not let her eyebrows be shaved.

This person is the princess of the Xianbei tribe, Asai Beina. Since she was separated from Bai Yucheng at that time, she has been stationed at the border pass, just because when they were separated, the man looked back and smiled.

We are the same kind of people, and he has me in his heart. With this belief, Asai Bena has been guarding the border, thinking: as long as I am strong enough, he will definitely fall in love with me. No matter how good that woman is, in the end, he will still choose a strong person to help him dominate the country.

"Listen to my orders, set off, and go to the Song Kingdom."

Asai Beina smiled, clasped her hands to her chest, and said to Bai Yucheng: "The last time I made peace, I came at the request of my father, but this time, I came by myself. I have met with your father, and he has agreed to make peace. ”

"You'll have to marry me this time, no matter what." Asai Beina stepped forward with a smile, and stroked Bai Yucheng's cheek with her palm, and her somewhat sharp eyes instantly turned into an ocean when she met those unfathomable eyes.

Ji Lianmei couldn't move between the two of them, her chest was a little sad, and she wanted to say something to relieve this embarrassing atmosphere.

"Asaibena, I won't marry you, and you don't have to dwell on it anymore. If I let others know about what happened here tonight, I will definitely be charged with assassinating the prince and conquering the Xianbei territory. Please believe that I have that strength. ”

Bai Yucheng still had a smile on his face, looking like he was winning.

He looked down at Ji Lianmei and said softly, "Let's go." And left without stopping.

"Heh, hahaha, it's kind of interesting." Instead of being angry, Asai Bena laughed, "Bai Yucheng, you are much more interesting than all the men I have ever met. ”

Three days later, Emperor Song held a family banquet in the imperial garden, and Ji Lianmei went to the banquet with Bai Yucheng as a maidservant.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I set up a family banquet today, this is to gather with all the emperors, wash the dust for Cheng'er, this two, I want to announce a happy event. Come, Princess, come to me. Emperor Song smiled and beckoned to Asai Bena below.

Asaibena stepped forward. I saw a touch of bright color slowly coming up to the stage from below, like a blood-colored red lotus blooming in a cluster of flowers. She is wearing a red robe, a red belt around her waist, a red rope hair, and a bewitching red color against her beautiful skin

Her bold and uninhibited depiction is even more wooden, showing her heroic spirit.

Compared to the clothes when I first saw them, this appearance is now more suitable for Asaibena's character.

"This is Asai Beina, the princess from the Xianbei clan, who is friendly with my dynasty on behalf of the Xianbei clan." Emperor Song introduced to the princes.

At this point, the princes sitting below were eager to try, not because of the beauty of this princess, but because she held the power of the tiger talisman in her hand.

In ancient times, marriages were a gentle way to recuperate and recuperate, with the aim of letting the enemy let their guard down, while others were intended to achieve the common good. The Song State had strong economic strength, but there was no place for foreign soldiers, although Xianbei was strong, the economy was underdeveloped, and the marriage was to support each other in order to coexist. The marriage between Liu and Wu was used as an excuse to recuperate and prepare for war in the future.

With such a beneficial and harmless marriage, the princes naturally want to compete for it. Although Xianbei is small, its strength should not be underestimated.

"Second brother, this woman is not simple, she is the only daughter of King Xianbei, and her ability to lead troops and generals is even no less than that of a man, Tuoba Han loves her very much, and wants to train her to be his heir to the throne." The Seventh Prince, who was sitting on the side, took advantage of the gap when Asai Bena came to the stage, and quietly whispered to the prince Yuxin on the side.

"Heh, if you win her over, it is equivalent to having half of the Xianbei royal family's troops. This woman, this king is bound to win. Childe Yuxin looked at Asaibena's back and smiled confidently.

"Xin'er, you come over too." Emperor Song smiled and asked Gongzi Yuxin to come forward, holding Asai Beina with one hand and Gongzi Yuxin with the other, overlapping the hands of the two together.

"Princess, Xin'er has managed the affairs of the court in an orderly manner in the past few years, and this talent and appearance are one in a hundred among the princes. Shall I make the decision for you two and marry you to him? ”

Childe Yuxin smiled slightly, showing that she was very fond of Asai Beina.

Asai Beina glanced at Gongzi Yuxin with disdain, withdrew her hand arrogantly, and said, "Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness, but my husband, naturally I have to choose." Asai Bena's gaze gradually drifted to Bai Yucheng, and then spoke, "I hate those people who form gangs in private and make small moves behind their backs the most, and they don't have a bit of manliness. The man I want, a man with extraordinary timing and great wisdom. ”

"Oh? Listening to the princess's meaning, it seems that there is a candidate in mind. Don't be shy, say it, I'll call the shots for you. ”

With a shy face, Asai Bena walked up to Bai Yucheng and said to Emperor Song: "I have taken a fancy to him, Your Majesty, please point me out to him." ”

Childe Yuxin's gaze gradually became sharp, and the green tendons of his clenched fists burst out.

Why, it's him again. Why did you choose this person who was trampled under my feet, one by one?

Bai Yucheng, why are you robbing me everywhere?

Emperor Song smiled heartily and said, "It turns out that the princess is Cheng'er." Yes, Cheng'er is calm by nature, the princess is free and generous, and she is really a beautiful couple. Cheng'er, you are also twenty-two years old, and you have reached the age when it is time to get married, and your father will make the decision for you this time, you are not allowed to shirk it. ”

Bai Yucheng kowtowed in front of the hall, and the smile on his lips was still unwavering.

"Since my father has this intention, Cheng'er is not easy to shirk, everything depends on my father."

At this time, Ji Lianmei stood aside, watching the warm candlelight gently sprinkle on the body of the young man in white, and watched him take the hand of another girl and thank him together.

At this moment, for the first time, she felt that these two people were such a good match, and she was no longer the high-flying princess of Liu Guo.

In fact, what separates us is far more than those love and hatred, but also the gap in identity.

But what does this have to do with it? He's going to marry someone else, and I have my own life to live. Ji Lianmei comforted herself, as if thinking about it like this, the congestion in her heart would be reduced a lot.

"Long time no see, I said I would definitely let you marry me." Asai Bena looked at Bai Yucheng's ancient waterless eyes, tiptoed, and said in his ear.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please don't get so close to the main hall, it's immoral. In this situation, I don't want to embarrass the princess too much. ”

In front of the beauty, Bai Yucheng had no joy on his face, although the tone of these words was soft, but there was a sharp edge in the words.

Today's Hongmen banquet is calm on the surface, but it is an undercurrent surge. Emperor Song wanted to test the minds of these two sons, whether it was Bai Yucheng or Gongzi Yuxin, they were not idle, if they were not loyal to his father, or tried to disobey his orders, then he would definitely try his best to win one side against the other.

Bai Yucheng and Gongzi Yuxin have been mortal enemies since childhood, and they married Asai Beina to Bai Yucheng, and the strength of the two is equal. When the two tigers competed, Emperor Song was able to survive in the cracks.

A person in a high position, how can he not have a little calculation in his heart, but compared with Bai Yucheng, Emperor Song's careful thinking is simply an axe.

Therefore, after all kinds of experiences, Asai Bena once again lived in Bai Yucheng's mansion. Last time, she was an uninvited guest, but this time, she lived here as the hostess of the Prince's Mansion.

"Bai Yucheng, Bai Yucheng, you wait for me." Asai Bena trotted behind Bai Yucheng and followed him into the Qinxue Garden.

"I have ordered someone to arrange the princess's residence, and she will stay in my residence before she gets married, and I am afraid it will not be good to spread it." There was no smile on Bai Yucheng's face.

All the way back to the prince's mansion, Asai Bena chattered with him all the way, and his ears were buzzing when he heard it, but Ji Lianmei was still pretending to look at the scenery as if nothing had happened, ignoring him.

Although his face was calm, the boredom of his mood and the noise in his ears had pulled him to the brink of an outburst.

"What are you shy about, anyway, after seven days, you will be my person, why should you care about what others say." Asaibena said disdainfully, "By the way, I want to renovate the palace, you have no opinion." ”

"Except for Qinxue Garden and Fangcao Pavilion, in other places, you can toss as much as you like." Bai Yucheng threw down these words and strode towards Fangcao Pavilion.

In the Yerba Grass Pavilion, Ji Lianmei took off the mask on her face and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Looking back on the past 24 years of life, I suddenly miss it incomparably.

There, every day was very tired and hard, but at that time, she was still her, not like now, living with the mask of others every day, trembling.
