Li Qingyi followed Princess An Cheng to Linhua Hall on the way to meet the third princess.

Last time, Xu Xiangfu held a spring banquet, and the eleventh princess wanted to expose the private relationship between the third princess and Huang Painter in public, and instructed the palace maids around her to hide beside Guo Zier by pretending to be maidservants.

The scimitar had played a role in a critical moment, so Li Qingyi saluted the third princess very respectfully.

The third princess nodded at her and looked at Princess An Cheng, "I haven't talked to the imperial sister for a long time, would the imperial sister invite me to sit in the Linhua Palace?"

Princess An Cheng was a little surprised.

are both princesses loved by their fathers, but they don't have much contact with each other.

The third princess has a cold and strong temperament, and she doesn't like to compete with other princesses for favor and socialization, and other princesses don't dare to provoke her, so the eleventh princess always likes to say goodbye to her. Look at the book

Today, she took the initiative to go to Ancheng Palace to sit down, and Princess Ancheng inevitably felt strange.

"The royal sister is coming, and my sister is naturally welcome."

The three of them returned to the Linhua Hall together.

The third princess and Li Qingyi exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then got straight to the point, "Huang Cai and Miss Li went to the Qiongxian Palace?"

Princess An Cheng nodded, "Yes, just go and see the excitement."

The third princess said, "You can see the five princes of Chongnan?"

Princess An Cheng was a little surprised by her question, but still replied, "I only glanced at it from a distance, and it wasn't really real."

The third princess didn't ask again when she heard this, but Li Qingyi felt a little strange from it, "What did Her Royal Highness the princess hear?"

"Hmm."

The third princess let out a soft "um" and frowned unconsciously, "Chongnan's military strength has grown rapidly in the past ten years, and it is increasingly comparable to my Dajing, the Chongnan royal family has straightened their backs, and their attitude towards our dynasty is no longer groveling, and even frequently disturbing the borders, repeatedly provoking disputes, but this diplomatic relationship reveals an unusual kindness......

Princess An Cheng pondered, "Sister Huang said this, it is true...... The gifts they brought this time were unusually valuable, more than twice as much as usual."

Li Qingyi suddenly realized something, and sure enough, he heard the third princess say, "You say, does Chongnan have the intention of being friendly?"

"Kiss?"

Princess An Cheng's face changed.

As a princess, the most sensitive thing is the word "harmony".

The third princess's face was not very good-looking, "I met Eleven by the Taiye Pool last night, and you know, she has never had anything good to say when she saw me, I didn't bother to pay attention to it, so I didn't see it, but she muttered behind me, 'It's a pity it's not her.'"

It's a pity it's not her?

The "she" in the mouth of the eleventh princess obviously refers to the third princess.

So what makes Princess Eleven feel that it's a pity that it's not the third princess?

Li Qingyi's face also changed: "The princess is saying that Chongnan intends to be friendly, and what the eleventh princess said is the candidate for harmony?"

The third princess exchanged glances with Li Qingyi.

Concubine Hui and Princess Eleven, mother and daughter, have always been close to Concubine Mu and support the four princes.

It is very likely that Princess Eleven overheard something.

It's a pity that it's not the third princess, so who is the candidate for harmony?

Princess An Cheng also reacted at this time, and her face became calm, "Even if it is a kiss, my father will not let me go to kiss......

The third princess said: "The status of the royal sister is noble, if it is just a kiss, of course my father will not let the royal sister go, but if the other party asks to marry the princess, you are the only candidate."

Princess An Cheng said angrily: "Chongnan is so face-saving, when will our princess of Dajing ask whoever they want?"

The dignity of a princess of a country is not something that anyone who wants to come and ask for a marriage can ask for marriage, let alone marry a distant relative, unless the national strength is weaker than the other party, and only the princess in the palace is of the right age.

Although Chongnan's national strength has a tendency to surpass Dajing, it has not yet reached that step after all, if he really hands over the princess to make peace, it is tantamount to Dajing bowing to Chongnan

, acknowledging the weak.

Li Qingyi also said: "This move is tantamount to a provocation, if they really make such a request, is there any certainty that we will be forced to agree to this request?"

"I don't know about this, I just heard Eleven say that, I'm just suspicious." The third princess looked at Princess An Cheng, "You have to be prepared in your heart, even if your father will not agree to Chongnan's request, this matter will definitely cause a storm."

An Cheng also regained his composure at this time, "No matter what, thank you for telling the Imperial Sister."

The third princess left the Linhua Palace, and only Princess An Cheng and Li Qingyi were left in the palace.

Princess An Cheng's face was calm, and she asked Li Qingyi, "Yi'er, what do you think?" Tonight, I am going to have a banquet for the envoys of Chongnan at Yunjingtai, and I am about to mention the matter of peace, how should I deal with it?"

Li Qingyi pondered and said: "As soon as Chongnan's envoys entered my Dajing, they said that they had lost the treasures of the town and country, and they must have a plan, and now they said that they wanted to make peace, but they may not really want to make peace, just like the third princess just said, Chongnan is afraid that he wants to cause dissatisfaction in my court by asking to marry the princess, and then take the opportunity to make trouble. According to me, the emperor is at the helm of everything, and the princess should not be disturbed by them, just wait and see what happens."

Princess An Cheng's brows relaxed, "You're right, we can't fall into their trap."

*****

At the time of the unitary, Yunjingtai set up a banquet to invite the envoys of Chongnan.

Today's moon came out very early, and half of his face was already revealed before it was dark, and the bright halo reflected the glazed palace lamps hanging on the cloister of the palace courtyard and the tulle blowing in the hall, which was beautiful.

In Yunjing Taizhong, the emperor sat high on the top of the golden palace, smiling as he listened to Helian Rong and his envoys praising the customs and customs of Dajing. Empress Wang and Concubine Mu Guifei accompanied the emperor on the left and right, with gentle faces and dignified manners.

A concubine and a maid of orders sat in the side hall, saying that it was a side hall, but in fact it was only separated from the golden palace by a thin layer of brocade, and the outside could not see the inside, but the inside could clearly see the outside.

Li Qingyi sat next to the county lord of Yuanheng, and saw that Queen Wang's expression was very cautious, while Mu Guifei's movements were naturally relaxed, but she refused to let go of a word that Helian Rong said.

And outside the thin brocade, there was a vague figure, his eyes were hidden in the slightly drooping eyes, hiding the things in the depths of his eyes, and the whole person looked more cold and handsome, a little colder than the solitary moon behind the fog in the heavenly palace.

The other party seemed to feel her gaze, tilted his head slightly and looked back, and the lonely moonlight instantly became soft and delicate.

Li Qingyi couldn't help but smile slightly, and Qin Zeng's gaze moved elsewhere.

On the top of the main hall, the eight women sent by Chongnan to Da'an Palace, at this time, half a thin gauze covered their faces, like smoke and fog drifted into the main hall, knotted sleeves and beads, sang and danced, Jin Ling on the ankles made a crisp and pleasant golden sound, tickling people's hearts itching and instigating.

Xiang Lan whispered in Li Qingyi's ear, "Girl, the eleventh princess is here."
