Lou Duhuan nodded: "Yes, he was also trying to save you at that time, do you want to settle accounts after the autumn?" ”

The emperor frowned and said, "Is this kind of person in your heart?" ”

Lou Wanhuan didn't speak.

The emperor was helpless, and said in a low voice: "He did save my life, I can give him a title and give him a lifetime of glory and wealth, but he is still a little worse than you, you are the eldest princess of my Dayan, and you can choose all the sons and daughters of the world, do you want to think about it anymore?" ”

"What does it look like to be worthy or not? Family? Ability? Or physiognomy? ”

Lou Wanhuan fell silently, blocking Bai Zi's way, "Although Xiao Qi does not have a strong family background, I am the eldest princess, do I still care about his power?" Is there any son in the world who can be more noble than me? Since they are not as good as me, why should they be divided into three, six, nine and so on? ”

The emperor wanted to speak and stopped, but he was blocked and couldn't speak.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he still felt unwilling, and said: "I still think he is not worthy of you, you are my favorite daughter, I hope to find the best horse for you, Xiao Qi...... No way. ”

"You only say no, and you can't say what you can't do, father, are you making trouble unreasonably?"

Lou Duhuan slowly raised his head and looked at the emperor, as if he wanted to see the bottom of his heart through his eyes, and the emperor felt a little uncomfortable being seen through for no reason.

"You can't be lawless with my favor." His tone was very helpless, and there was not much reproach.

Lou Duhuan put down the chess pieces in his hand, got up and said seriously: "Father, it is precisely because I am your daughter that I dare to talk to you like this, because I approve of you, if you are a monarch and minister, I should abide by my duty." ”

The Emperor was stunned, "You-"

"I and Xiao Qi are a friendship of life and death, no matter what you say, I will not change my mind, love the house and Wu, if you can accept him the best, if not, I will take him away, you will naturally see his ability later, why rush to make a conclusion?"

The emperor's brows furrowed, "There is no room for negotiation?" ”

"Nope." Lou Duanhuan said categorically: "My meaning has been expressed very clearly, father, I hope you can listen to my words, put aside your prejudices and get to know Xiao Qi well, he is not as useless as you think, and marriage is a lifelong thing, the family is far from life and death, how many of those people you fancy are willing to die with me?" Can you name one with certainty? ”

The Emperor was silent, and the handsome men he favored flashed through his mind, but none of them could make him speak.

Lou Wanhuan smiled and didn't say more, "Let's play today's chess here, my father must also need time to think about it, so my son won't bother." ”

After saying that, she owed a debt and left.

The palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside didn't dare to breathe, and they admired Lou Duhuan from the bottom of their hearts, and dared to talk to His Majesty like this, and they could come out with all their beards and tails, I was afraid that the eldest princess would be alone.

……

Lou Duhuan wasn't sure if the emperor could listen to it, after all, these emperors, especially the older ones, liked to say more and more, and it was difficult to listen to others, but her attitude was already very clear, if he really couldn't listen, she didn't just have to be a princess.

However, for a long time after that, the emperor did not mention this matter again, and the invitations to various flower-viewing banquets disappeared overnight.

In this way, summer went to winter, and Lou Duhuan finally received a letter from Xiao Qi, a total of two, one for Xiao Ning and one for her.

Xiao Ning winked ambiguously at the building, "Sister-in-law, look slowly, I'm back in the room~"

She took her letter and slipped away, laughing happily, and sat down on the circle chair, rubbing the envelope, which was not opened for a long time.

[Why don't you look at it, I'm in a hurry! ] 】

[It should be a feeling to be more timid with the hometown, when the distance is far away, I can only miss, I wish I could see people, I can receive a few words, but I really got it, and I began to worry about some of the no, people in love are like this]

[Really? I don't read much in front of me, don't lie to me! But Lou Lou's eyes are so gentle when he looks at the envelope. 】

Lou Duhuan read the words on the envelope several times, and finally couldn't hold it back, and gently tore it open, there was not only a letter paper but also a plum blossom that had been dried, and the envelope was fragrant.

She took out the red plum and looked at it in the palm of her hand, carefully put it aside, and unfolded the letterhead, Xiao Qi's words were very delicate, and the contrast with him was quite large, every word was written very neatly and clearly, but the more she went to the back, the more sloppy it became, and it seemed to be very urgent.

It can be seen that this letter was also written in time.

"Happy to be happy: it snowed in the north yesterday, I don't know how the capital is? It must be cold too, right? Remember to wear more when you go out, be careful of catching a cold, during my absence, I don't know if you are okay? I'm not very good, every day after the separation is very tormenting, but fortunately, I can still vent on the battlefield, but every time in the dead of night, the picture of you and me getting along always appears in my mind, and I suddenly feel lovesick and unbearable, and the night is long. ”

"The New Year is approaching, but I can't go back to Beijing to meet you, you and Xiao Ning are companions, it's not lonely. I heard that many people came to say goodbye, I wonder if the princess has a favorite candidate? If so, don't write to me......"

Lou Duanhuan couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and the sour taste came out of between the lines.

"I couldn't sleep last night, I traveled with candles, and suddenly saw the red plum blossom at night, and I was very happy, so I picked a flower with a letter to give to a beautiful woman, and I hope that I would see flowers like seeing people. When the spring flowers bloom and the grass grows and the warbler flies, I will ride the horse and return with the wind, don't worry, don't read - Xiao period. ”

In just a few lines, she flipped through them several times, and when she saw that she didn't recognize those words, she carefully folded the letter paper and put it back in the envelope and put it in the box.

She picked up the dry red plum, gently dropped a kiss, and laughed, "Seeing flowers is like seeing people." ”

Finally, the little red plum lay on top of the envelope and was sealed in a box.

She wrote a reply and wrote three pages, not expressing her feelings much, mainly talking about Xiao Ning's situation, saying that she had publicly stated her intentions, and the position of the colt had been reserved for him.

She didn't know how excited Xiao Qi was when she received the letter, but she could guess one or two from the rising favorability.

In this way, the two spent the New Year in two places, each with their own busyness.

In the blink of an eye, it was the spring of the second year, and when the peach blossoms were scorching, Xiao Qi came back as promised.

The young general rode through the streets, without squinting along the way, and went straight to the eldest princess's mansion.

At that time, Lou Duhuan was not in the house, the emperor was infected with a cold some time ago, Lou Duhuan was left in the palace to take care of him, and he has not come back for a few days.

She took a nap on the sedan chair, and no one called her when the sedan chair stopped, and she didn't open her eyes until the curtain was lifted, "It's here—"
