I had heard that the Khitan king was riddled with illness, and I didn't see the envoys of the Great Zhou, I was afraid that it was because my body could no longer see.

The disputes in the Khitan royal court were no less than those in the Great Zhou. The third prince who is interested in Changle has a heavy army and is brave and good at fighting, but his biological mother is a slave and has a low status, so there are not many supporters, but the eldest prince is more powerful.

The third prince asked to marry Changle, because he wanted to take advantage of the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the noble and favored princess of the Great Zhou to fight for a good name.

As if sensing something, as if being targeted by an eagle falcon for a moment, he unconsciously looked up at the temple - their people live on horseback and die on horseback, and have a beastly intuition about danger.

Therefore, just by that glance, not by the crown prince clothes, he also recognized the prince of the Great Zhou who had made the Khitan suffer a lot.

During the four years that the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty was stationed in Yunfeng, they suffered countless losses for the siege of the city, and even almost were counterattacked - fortunately, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not close to the prince, and choked the prince's wings in time.

King Jing's words were exactly what the emperor wanted, and the emperor took the opportunity to say: "Changle is indeed still young, and he is used to messing around on weekdays, and he is not stable enough. It's not as calm and generous as the lord of Pingyang, I have always regarded Pingyang as my own, and I ...... as a princess."

came to make a lame official speech, and interrupted before the emperor settled the matter: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. The third prince saw the immortal appearance of Princess Changle from the portrait, and vowed not to marry the princess. Although my Khitan royal court is not as good as the Central Plains, it will never treat the princess badly. In order to show sincerity, the Khitan is willing to retreat hundreds of miles to welcome Princess Changle. ”

"I can ensure a hundred years of diplomatic relations between the two countries," he paused, and pointed the finger at Changle, who was not present: "I have heard for a long time that Princess Da Zhou understands the righteousness, and she will definitely not refuse." ”

The Emperor's mind moved slightly. If the relatives are successful, the Great Zhou can help the third prince seize the throne, and with these two layers of relationship, I want to be able to ensure the peace of northern Xinjiang for decades.

Seeing that the emperor was hesitant, he came to the palace with Khitan etiquette and saluted, with a very respectful attitude: "I am fortunate to be summoned by His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and today is also the day when my Khitan army will be launched." The third prince led his troops, and he could reach the foot of Yunfeng City in two days. ”

There was an uproar.

This is a clear threat.

Ning Zhen shouted, "Bold!" Before he could say anything, he was stopped by the emperor with his hand.

I have heard for a long time that the third prince is good at fighting, and judging from the current situation in Yunfeng City, I am afraid that he really can't hold it. The emperor closed his eyes, and faintly regretted that he had transferred Song Xuan away at that time.

East Palace.

The title pool first listened to the news that Ning Xun ordered people to come back, and waited for half an hour before waiting for Ning Xun to come back.

She waited for him under the verandah, and the moment she saw him, her originally restless heart suddenly calmed down. She looked at him from a distance, and vaguely saw the gloom in his eyes.

Rank Chi stepped forward quickly and took the initiative to take Ning Xun's hand, and the palace people naturally slowed down and separated themselves from the two.

"Your Highness...... Have you ever seen Changle? ”

The meaning of the Khitan envoy is clear - either marry Princess Changle and kiss her, or start a war immediately.

Say it's two days, but there's no room for hesitation. The news passes, and it takes time no matter how fast it is. Yunfeng City is such a piece of fat in front, she doesn't believe that the Khitan people can wait a little longer.

Ning Xun gave a brief "um", "In the palace, the emperor finally said that he wanted to ask Changle what he meant. ”

The rank pool lowered his head - the saint said this, I am afraid that he has already made a decision in his heart.

said that he was asking Changle, but Changle had no choice at all. Whether it was war or peace, no one had ever asked her what she thought, but in the end, the burden suddenly fell on her alone.

The military affairs of northern Xinjiang suddenly became her sentence, a sentence of "wishing" can ensure the tranquility of northern Xinjiang and save the lives of countless soldiers, so it takes too much courage to say "unwilling".

"I rushed to see Changle before the emperor summoned her."

On the way to Changle on the initiative to go to the main hall.

If Changle is determined not to go, he can also leave her behind. Find a place for her to take refuge in the Taoist temple for two years, what the third prince wants, you can also give it in another way, but it will take some troubles.

It's really not good, Ning Xun said to Changle in a deep voice: "This battle can also be fought." ”

"Although Changle doesn't know how to march and fight, he also knows that the imperial brother has lost the opportunity at this time." Changle shook his head, "It's too difficult. What's more, the imperial brother has to worry about more than just the Khitan. ”

This is not far from the main hall, so her words are to the point.

"What's more, even my father and the emperor are relieved, and they will go, I heard that the people over there are fierce, and I am more comfortable. It's not a big deal. She smiled indifferently, "My aunt hasn't been there like this, and now she is very happy." Turkic or Khitan, what is the difference. ”

"Changle knows that the imperial brother will take me back. Five years, five years will not work, just ten years, twenty years. When the Hu people bow their heads, the imperial brother should receive me with a big gift. It's just that before this, my mother still needs to worry about the royal brother's care. ”

After she finished speaking, she saluted Ning Xun, didn't stop any longer, and walked straight towards the Qianzheng Hall.

The title pool slowly squeezed Ning Xun's hand, "It's not Your Highness's fault. ”

Ning Xun stopped his steps, slowly exhaled a breath, and seemed to chuckle: "Sheji is stable, and he wants to exchange the princess." ”

After a pause, he suddenly stood on tiptoe and hugged him.

Not only is she close to Changle, but between Ning Xun and Changle, the blood is thicker than water that is rare among other princes and princesses.

Even when she first got the news, she was wondering if it was because of herself, what was happening now was different from her previous life, so that Changle had reached this point - the self-blame in Ning Xun's heart would only get worse.

She knew that no matter what she said at this time, it would seem hollow and powerless, so she only held on hard. Ning Xun pressed her thin back, leaned over slightly and leaned himself against her, as if supporting, as if it was a chimer.

After a while, I heard her voice softly and firmly: "This was the case in the past, but since Your Highness, it will not be like this in the future." ”

However, after Changle left the Qianzheng Palace, he immediately made a will to be friendly - all the ceremonial guards were according to the highest, and the palace people who accompanied the marriage were also doubled.

Changle has been favored for so many years, and at this time, it is still the only honor among the princesses. The biological mother Rou Concubine was named Rou Concubine in one fell swoop, not only that, but even her mother's family was rewarded.

As soon as the decree was issued, the Khitan envoy immediately sent a message to the third prince.

On the same day, he first received an urgent military report from northern Xinjiang, saying that the Khitan army was faintly encircling Yunfeng City, proving that what the previous envoy said was true, and the news of the Khitan withdrawal was received on the second day.

The matter of Changle and his relatives was completely settled, and Ning Zhen was afraid for a while, so he couldn't help but go to Xining.

No one knows how he suffered in the main hall that day.

- He was afraid that his father would not be willing to be happy. The third prince of Khitan clearly wanted to marry a noble-born man who had an inseparable connection with the Great Zhou royal family, so that he could help him. Changle is the best, but if you can't marry Changle, it's hard to guarantee that the next one won't be Xining.

Ning Zhen remembered what her mother said that day, if he could marry Xining......

If he marries Xining, at least he doesn't have to worry about it at this time. It doesn't hurt if the imperial grandmother wants to keep her for another two years, as long as the marriage is agreed to be ......

Xining glanced at him and said angrily: "You just came to talk to me about Changle?" ”

Ning Zhen hesitated for a moment, and before she could speak, she heard her say in a light tone: "Isn't it good for her to marry the Khitan?" ”

She never concealed it in front of Ning Zhen, and spit out the words in her heart: "I've been stealing the limelight with me since I was a child, and I'm a princess, and I'm pressed everywhere." Now marrying into such a wild place, see what limelight she can have. ”

Ning Zhen sighed, "You haven't thought about it, in case this fire burns on you?" ”

Xining didn't think about it: "Then I forced Zi'an to admit it, and said that my marriage had already been decided." ”

The Queen Mother has always been accustomed to her, even for the sake of the Queen Mother, the saint will not suddenly marry her, let alone go away and kiss.

"What if Archer doesn't want to?"

"Impossible!"

"I said what if."

She glared at him, and didn't want to say more to him: "If you can't marry Shen Zi'an, who won't you marry?" ”

Whoever marries is not marrying.

Ning Zhen's heart moved slightly, and after his heart beat for a beat, he violently pumped his blood and rushed to his head. But he still didn't dare to be straightforward, only joking: "If there is really that time, why don't you choose me for the time being?" ”

Xining sneered, obviously not taking it seriously: "Then I might as well go to get married, and I can earn a name in history." ”

She sat and talked to him, and after sitting for a long time, her waist was a little sore, so she grabbed his arm through her sleeve and stood up, as usual.

She didn't even say a word to him, this level of contact, she was used to it for a long time.

And he doesn't shy away from it.

Ning Zhen lowered her eyes and looked at her wrinkled sleeves, and pulled the corners of her mouth silently.

After the matter of harmony was decided, the title pool met Changle. Sure enough, as Ning Xun said, Changle was calmer and more transparent than ever.

Suddenly disappeared from the original babbling appearance, and seemed to be calm and reliable overnight - but she still didn't feel at ease when she saw her like this.

The pond sharpened ink for Ning Xun in the study, and also used it to calm down some of his mind. She has been bored for the past two days, she doesn't like to talk much, Ning Xun knows that she will only get better after this period of time, she is bored, it is better than forcing a smile, so she let her go.

The atmosphere in the study room was a little heavy.

Therefore, Huaihe's communication became more and more abrupt: "Your Highness, Lord Ruan Yuanxiu Ruan asks to see you." ”

The author has something to say:

Thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2023-09-17 01:13:17~2023-09-18 01:11:44~

Thanks to the little angel who threw the landmine: excerpt 1;

Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: Luioy 9 bottles; Eucalya 3 bottles;

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

Chapter 87

◎ Lord Ruan is really, grateful for the gratitude. ◎

The ink ingot in his hand was stunned, and he looked at Ning Xun.

That day, Changle told Ruan Yuanxiu that all her funding for him was the prince's intention, no matter whether Ruan Yuanxiu was clear in his heart, he could only accept the prince's affection.

Ruan Yuanxiu is upright and old-fashioned, not like a person who will fall into partisan disputes, Ning Xun did not use this matter to pressure him, but he still threw himself under Ning Xun, and it is difficult to say that there is no reason for Changle.

But the heart of the chichi is biased towards Changle, and it is inevitable that it is not worth it for her - in the past, I felt that the future would be long, and Changle could always meet someone more agreeable, but now that this matter comes out, it is inevitable that I will think that Ruan Yuanxiu would have responded to Changle at that time......

The Qionglin banquet has only been five months since now.

If Changle had decided on the marriage earlier, it would have been impossible for her to be a candidate for a close relationship.

She let out a deep breath and threw the ink ingot down, "I'll go back first." ”

"Don't want to see him?" Ning Xun guessed what she was thinking, took a handkerchief and slowly wiped her hands for her, and shook it tightly twice before raising his eyes and instructing Huaihe: "Tell Ruan Yuanxiu to go to the main hall and wait." ”

She lowered her head, Ning Xun got up and pulled her into her arms, raised her hand and slowly rubbed the back of her neck, "I know you're sad, but don't be depressed in your heart, what if you get sick?" ”

Jack nodded, leaning lightly against him.

She remembered that day when she and Changle were walking back from Ruan Yuanxiu's residence, Changle hugged her and said, "Outsiders say that in my life, I will have to be windy and rainy. Only I don't think so. ”

And the angry sentence "But he doesn't want me, then I don't want him either." ”

She suddenly looked up at Ning Xun: "Since Lord Ruan is here, why don't Your Highness send someone to ask Changle?" ”

There are too many things in this world that cannot be controlled, but at least, it is good to have a little regret.

When Ning Xun went to the main hall, he had already asked people to wait for half an hour.

There was no one left in the hall, and even Huaihe stopped outside the hall.

"Wechen knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince."
