Chapter Ninety-Five: The Marriage Contract

"Liaodong's battle report." Cao Yu walked into Qin Wujiang's room with the battle report.

Qin Wujiang sat up vigorously, still wearing a white middle coat, and rushed over with his shoes pulled: "The Turks have attacked Liaodong?" ”

He and Cao Yu both knew very well when Mu Lang left Chang'an, and Mu Lang couldn't return to Liaodong in such a short time, so didn't that mean that Liaodong was going to be lost?

"Don't worry, he rushed back, the Turks didn't get any benefit from this surprise attack, and they also broke three generals." Cao Yu said, handing over the battle report.

Qin Wujiang had seen it, and he couldn't think of how Mu Lang did it for a while.

"Is this Qing'an County a me?" Qin Wujiang knocked his head and muttered.

He felt that after coming to Qing'an, his head, which could be counted in all Chang'an, suddenly became less bright.

Cao Yu smiled: "Okay, didn't Dao Yan say that your life is hard and poison will not invade." ”

"He also said that you were born rich and noble, and you can marry a princess, have you married?" Qin Wujiang pushed back.

The corners of Cao Yu's mouth twitched: "Hugh is talking nonsense." ”

"Where is this nonsense," Qin Wujiang took two steps in a row, moved to the table and sat down: "This is the truth, eldest cousin, don't say that you don't know what my aunt has in mind." ”

Some time ago, the eldest princess of Pingyang had already given the emperor a lot of hints openly and secretly, and wanted to ask Cao Yu to marry a princess.

The candidate is all set.

Zheng Guifei was born, the seventh princess who was most favored by the emperor, Princess Leyang.

Cao Yu slapped Qin Wujiang on the head: "Just your mouth, see how I sue my aunt when I go back." ”

"Oh, it scares me to death," Qin Wujiang said with a hippie smile, and said while kicking on his boots: "If you want me to say, you don't have to worry, Your Majesty said that she is reluctant to Princess Leyang, but her daughter has to marry when she is older, and with the identity of the eldest princess of her aunt, you don't have to worry at all." The seventh princess will be yours sooner or later, so Dao Yan can be fine, if he doesn't have this vision, will he dare to say this? ”

Qin Wujiang put on his boots, stood up and jumped, full of energy.

Cao Yu shook her head with a smile: "My mother's intention is good, but Princess Leyang is not in my heart." ”

Qin Wujiang didn't care, "She thinks, it has to be done." ”

He shook his robe and put it on, and said: "The people who married to Liaodong in the past generations are all His Majesty's princesses. Now that Princess Changning has died early, although Concubine Zheng Guifei controls the harem, she is not a queen after all, and I am jealous of Mu Lang, and she is the dignified king of Liaodong County, can she marry a princess? ”

Cao Yu frowned and sighed, silencing him.

"Princess Celestia is a scar on the bottom of Your Majesty's heart, and you dare to talk nonsense."

Qin Wujiang rolled his eyes helplessly: "This is not Chang'an." ”

"You can't do it anywhere, Qing'an and the Liu family have a long history, and it's taboo for you to mention the eldest princess." Cao Yu has always been cautious, not to mention that the eldest princess's biological mother, Queen Liu, is General Liu's favorite concubine.

At the beginning, the queen was also assassinated for escort, and together with the eldest princess who had just completed the moon, she stood in front of the emperor and was stabbed to death by thieves.

The emperor witnessed his beloved wife and concubine die for him, and naturally he will never forget it.

According to the system, Princess Changning was originally the fifth princess, but in order to pay tribute to his beloved daughter, the emperor put her in front of the princesses, and now several princesses who have married mention her and call her eldest sister.

If it weren't for the eldest princess of Pingyang, the heartbroken emperor would have added another long word to the title of the eldest princess.

However, even if there is such a mourning, what is the use?

Cao Yu sighed.

When the emperor issued an edict to kill the Liu family, he didn't care about the dead Queen Liu and the eldest princess.

The imperial heart is always the most unfathomable.

Qin Wujiang finished tossing, and seeing that he was still in a daze, he sat on the side, rarely quiet.

"What do you think?" Cao Yu asked.

Qin Wujiang looked at him sympathetically: "You should give up the Seventh Princess." ”

"I didn't want to marry her." Cao Yu smiled bitterly.

Qin Wujiang obviously knew that this was all arranged by his mother, what could he do.

"I'm glad you have this self-knowledge." Qin Wujiang patted him on the shoulder.

Cao Yu was stunned.

Qin Wujiang had already run out of the smoke.

"Okay, you Qin Wujiang, you dare to ridicule me for being inferior to others?!" Cao Yu chased two steps, and the man had already run away.

He shook his head and smiled.

Indeed, although he is already a rare noble son in Chang'an, compared with Mu Lang, he is inferior everywhere.

It's no wonder that the seventh princess didn't want to marry him, but was dedicated to studying how to marry Liaodong.

But Cao Yu is not jealous, let alone resentful.

"I only take my share, whether Mu Lang is good or not, what does it have to do with me."

He is generous by nature and has a natural peace of mind.

"Go and pass the good news of Liaodong to the soldiers," he ordered, in a very good mood: "My Great Chu has won two great victories in a row, and if the Turkic prince wants to commit another offense this year, he must first think about whether the wound is healed." ”

Cao Yu smiled, this is still Mu Sheng's credit.

The news spread quickly, but at noon, the fathers and elders of Qing'an County knew about it.

"Mu Lang, isn't it the one that the Turks wanted last time?"

"Yes, it turns out that he is the king of Liaodong County, oh my mother, what a big official this is, how can he go to our small place in Qing'an."

The people talked a lot, how did they, the small people, know about Liaodong so far.

But as soon as this good news spread, someone brought the gossip news of the king of Liaodong County.

"There was a great victory in Qingshan Pass before, but the lord of the county fell from the sky and killed the Turkic dog crying and calling his mother."

"I also heard that it is also the idea of the county king to recapture Qingshan Pass this time."

The ability of the people to spread false information is always surprising.

Soon, Mu Lang was rumored to be a god with three heads and six arms.

Who let Da Chu inherit to this day, and the hereditary throne with a different surname is left with only one king of Liaodong County.

"Let's pay our respects to the prince of the county, and beg him to bless us so that the Turks will stop calling." I don't know who mentioned it first, but someone really took the trouble to burn paper money.

Changning walked on the street and saw it, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

The king of Liaodong County has only been a knight for three years, and he is about twenty years old, so he will burn paper money, hoping that he will not die?

Changning smiled bitterly, the Mu family has guarded Liaodong for generations, and it is the most reliable barrier of the Great Chu Dynasty in the east, she doesn't want Mu Lang to die early.

"Hey, do you know, the lord of the county seems to have a marriage contract with our majesty's princess, said by a cousin of mine who worked in the Chang'an Hou Mansion."

Changning is stumbling.

"Girl, are you alright?" Qiyue looked at her nervously, there were no stones on the ground.

Caiyue has been recuperating from her injuries for the past few days, so this time it was Qiyue who accompanied her out.

"It's fine." Changning waved his hand, and sighed psychologically.

It is precisely because of the merits of the Mu family that in addition to the emperor's generation, the eldest princess of Pingyang fell in love with Sui Anhou, and the emperor had to be fulfilled first, and the emperors of the past dynasties married the princess to the king of Liaodong County without exception to calm the hearts of the people.

So this marriage contract was set from the day she was born.

This is also the only bond between Changning and the king of Liaodong County.

But when she was going to withdraw from the marriage, he wrote it beautifully, and he promised it simply, and it was no problem to come to this life.

Changning comforted himself.

I heard the man next to me say, "It seems to be a marriage contract with the seventh princess." ”

Changning smiled and turned his head to look.
