Wisps of multicolored sunlight penetrate the layers of leaves and fall to the ground, forming a dazzling golden spot that moves with the wind.

On the bustling streets, Bai Yun's expression was gloomy and his eyes were deep.

Soon after he first came to this world, he was tired and tired every day, and he only got more than 100 yuan a month, and even sometimes met some bullies and black-hearted bosses who deducted their wages.

As a result, his life was very hard, because he didn't want to continue to live a bitter life.

He purified salt and sugar again, and planned to stop with a big vote, buy a big house, marry a few concubines, and live a beautiful life.

But I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet.

During a transaction with the head snake, the other party suddenly became difficult, planning to eat black and black, and wanted to catch him and force him to ask about the origin of fine salt and white sugar.

Fortunately, he was alert and was not caught red-handed, but the other party was outnumbered, and he was not an opponent and was seriously injured.

In a panic, he fell into the lake for a while, thinking that his life would end here.

When he woke up, he realized that he had been saved by a woman named Yoyo, who was the Oiran of Hualou.

After going back and forth, the two fell in love with each other.

As a man, Bai Yun definitely couldn't accept that his woman was in Hualou, so he wanted to redeem the other party.

But the value of the Oiran was ridiculously high, and in desperation, he had to choose to pay a few hundred taels of silver a month in installments to delay the other party's days of Izumo.

The so-called Izumo means that after a certain period of time, the Oiran must choose a man to be the guest of the scene, that is, a one-night stand.

Fortunately, Youyou has also saved some silver over the years, and in this way, under the two-way rush, a few years have passed, and there are still seven hundred taels of silver left to redeem her.

"Hey, there are still seven hundred taels of silver missing, and it is too difficult to pull them out of these people; You can only start with the rich, but these people have guards around them, and if you meet a gentleman, you will suffer."

Bai Yun muttered, very bitter.

If you can't get together 700 taels of silver, wait until next month, that snobbish old bustard will definitely let Youyou Izumo make a lot of money before he is "old and decrepit".

Although the Oiran is very famous, ordinary people have to call a fairy when they see it, and it seems that the scenery is infinite and high.

But in fact, it is no different from the wildflowers on the roadside, and under normal circumstances, the most valuable years of an Oiran are only five years.

After five years, she will be replaced by other women, fall from the altar, and become an ordinary woman.

Just like this, every Oiran will find a man who is good in all aspects to be a concubine at the last moment, while he is still valuable, so that he can have a stable life in his old age.

"Huh"

Just as Bai Yun was pondering, suddenly his eyes went dark, like a solar eclipse, and instantly turned into night.

"Woo woo"

Just as he was struggling, he vaguely heard "go quickly", "don't let others find out", etc., and then he reacted.

Was this hijacked?

………………

Palace.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

On the dragon chair sat a middle-aged man wearing a crown and a dragon robe, his eyes were sharp and deep, and he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

This person is the current emperor, Emperor Wen Yuan.

Below, there are three people standing, namely Prime Minister Zhao Zhi, Guogong Li Ke, and Tianwei General Xiao Linfeng.

At this moment, these big people who stomped their feet, and the country had to tremble, gathered together, discussing the matter of the Northern Barbarian envoys coming to ask for relatives.

"Your Majesty, this move of the Northern Barbarians, on the surface, is to marry Qin and Jin with my Celestial Empire, but in fact, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to let us give them food for the winter at a low price or even for free" Zhao Chengxiang was like a fire, and he said a word.

"Your Majesty, if you want the old minister to say, let the old minister send troops and teach these barbarians a hard lesson, just a barbarian person, and also want to marry my princess of the Celestial Dynasty, it's really beyond my strength"

Although Xiao Linfeng, the general of Tianwei, has not been to the front line for many years, he has always had a desire in his heart, that is, while the old bones can still move, he will take the soldiers to beat the barbarians and play the supreme momentum of the Heavenly Empire.

"No, now the people have finally lived and worked in peace and contentment, and once the war starts, it will surely cost the people and money, and the misery will be unspeakable; Moreover, the matter of harmony has always been the best way to appease the barbarians.

If we refuse, we will certainly give this barbarian a reason to send troops to invade the border; At this moment, if we go to war, we will fall into disadvantage, and the people will surely have criticism in their hearts."

Guogong Li Ke disagreed, war is not child's play, once it starts, it will be a catastrophe, whether you win or lose, it will deplete the treasury, and let the people live in misery again.

Therefore, if you can, you can't fight.

"You can't fight, you can't fight it, so what do you say?"

As the head of the generals, Xiao Linfeng was immediately dissatisfied.

As soon as these words came out, the hall instantly fell silent, and the three of them looked heavy, all waiting for Emperor Wen Yuan to speak.

"Although I am not pleased with the Northern Barbarians, the other party is full of sincerity and sincerity on this trip; If I refuse for no reason, I will definitely be in trouble again, and I don't know how many people will die and how many families will be torn apart.

Among my daughters, only Princess Zhaoyang is now at the right age.

Zhao Xiang, together with the Ministry of Rites, you will prepare for the matter of harmony."

Emperor Wen Yuan made a final decision and agreed to make peace.

There is no way, he is the emperor, his words and deeds affect the whole world, and he must start from the overall situation.

If you refuse this marriage, you will be tongue-in-cheek, then once the war starts, the people will definitely not stand on the side of the court, the army will be unstable, and the people's will will be discouraged.

For him, for the imperial court, and for the country, it is a huge danger signal.

What's more, marrying a princess to the Northern Barbarians is already a custom, which has existed in all dynasties, and even when an emperor is in power, he can marry several princesses.

And, of course, the rewards are huge.

At the last time, the border can be stabilized for ten years without any chaos, the world is peaceful, the four seas are peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

I can also leave a good name in the history books.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Yes"

The emperor has opened his mouth to agree, and the courtiers will definitely not refute it.

Subsequently, the three of them left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Zhao Xiang went to work out the detailed process and scale of the princess and relatives with the Ministry of Rites, which is a big deal, and there can be no sloppiness in the slightest.

It is precisely because of this that the news of Zhaoyang's main peace came out.

Soon, the crown prince learned the news, and came to the Ziluo Palace worriedly to tell Ye Ruoshui the news.

"Impossible, impossible, I don't want to be close"

When he learned that he was going to marry the distant Beiban, Ye Ruoshui was shocked, his pupils widened instantly, and the whole person was panicked as if he had been struck by lightning.

"I'm going to go to my father and ask him to take back his fate"

After that, he trotted all the way to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Father, my daughter is unwilling to marry into the Beiban, please take back your life"

Ye Ruoshui knelt on the ground, crying, tears slowly flowing down his eyes, looking pitiful.

Beiban is an extremely bitter and cold place, and marrying into that kind of place is simply a sin; And since he was a child, he has lived in the royal family, and he has no good impression of Beiban in his heart.

Looking at Ye Ruoshui, who was raining pear blossoms, Emperor Wenyuan frowned and sighed: "Zhaoyang, I don't want you to go to Beiban, but I am the Son of Heaven, and I am responsible for the dawn of the people in the world."

If they refuse the Northern Barbarians' courtship, they will inevitably be given an excuse to go to war, and then the catastrophe will arise, and the people will be miserable."

"Father, you also know where the Beiban is, if your daughter goes, she will definitely not live, can you bear to watch your daughter suffer there?

You can find a palace maid at will, make her a princess, and marry Beiban," Ye Ruoshui said unwillingly.

Substitution of marriage, this is also a way to get married.

The dynasty that first appeared five or six hundred years ago, when the emperor had only one daughter under his knees, and he was very loved, so he was naturally reluctant to marry the Xiongnu (the predecessor of the Northern Barbarians).

Later, I thought of a way, that is, to make the palace maid a princess and marry the Huns, so that it can be regarded as keeping its promise.

When the time comes, it will be discovered, and the king of the Huns will have to swallow this breath.

If you start a war, then it is not right.

If the name is not right, the word will not go well, and if the word is not good, it will not be done.

Gradually, this method was handed down, but the last thing that the emperors lacked in later generations was their daughters, so this method was basically not used.

"This time, the Beiban Mission is ready, although it didn't ask you by name, but it almost meant that."

"Father, my daughter is unwilling, you are the emperor, the world is yours, as long as you don't agree, what is a mere Northern Barbarian" Ye Ruoshui was sad and angry, and begged Emperor Wen Yuan to take back his fate.

"Presumptuous"

Emperor Wen Yuan's face instantly became gloomy: "I have already agreed, and I have also asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the matter of harmony; You want me to lose my trust to others, and be ridiculed by the world and untrustworthy.

You're a princess, you're in royalty, and that's your life.

Pack it up well, and after a while, I will return to the Beiban with the Beiban mission."

Rumble!

These ruthless words were like mountains, which made Ye Ruoshui breathless, cold, the world was dark, his heart was like a knife, and he ran away crying.

Back in the Violet Palace, Ye Ruoshui howled and cried, tears were like rain, non-stop, and his eyes revealed a blue and gray color, like a walking corpse.

Half an hour later.

"Princess, your eyes are red, and it will not be good to cry any longer," the maidservant persuaded.

"Blind is blind"

Ye Ruoshui didn't care at all, and then added: "If I'm really blind, maybe I won't have to kiss him."

And kiss, this is a nightmare for the princess.

The servant girl is naturally really unwilling in the other party's heart, no one, no one is willing.

Beiban, that's not a place for people at all.

"There is only one princess of marriageable age in this palace, if only you had a marriage contract," muttered the maidservant.

The master is going to Beiban, and as a subordinate, she naturally can't escape.

Ye Ruoshui, who was crying, pouted for a moment and muttered: "Marriage contract"?

That's right, if I have someone I like, then I definitely don't have to kiss, otherwise if it spreads, it won't be laughed at, and my father will definitely have no light on his face, and he won't agree.

But...... Who would dare to marry her now?

Mu Ran, a dumbfounded, looking around, appeared in her sight.
