Feng Mo went down the mountain to visit friends, Hyunguang was forced to follow, and Xue Li also volunteered to follow "just in case".

It is rare that the ears are quiet, and Ye Yao has been happily mingling in the library all day.

Lunch and dinner did not see the national teacher and Kunlun disciples, until noon the next day, they still did not return, but there was news of the arrival of King Rui at the bottom of the mountain.

Dressed up under the control of Mama, Ye Yao hurried down the mountain to greet her.

When the scorching sun was in the sky, she hugged her to the foot of Qingjin Mountain, and her legs were almost gone.

From a distance, I saw Meng Xu standing in the shade of greenery, one on the left and one on the right, and the two attendants were fanning, and the leisurely appearance was really suffocating.

"Your Highness—"

No matter how hateful I am in my heart, false courtesy is still inevitable.

Meng Xu'an was not polite, and said straight to the point: "Concubine Xian has taken care of me since I was a child, and she is no different from my biological mother. She sent a message this morning, asking me to take you to meet her. ”

"Is it necessary?"

Ye Yao's implication is that the marriage is fake, and the less people in the palace have to do with it, the better.

Meng Xu'an smiled, "What's the matter? It's too comfortable to live in the national teacher's house, and you are reluctant to go out?"

It's not "reluctant", and I'm tired and half dead when I go out.

"It's not—"

Ye Yao sighed, "That...... Are you okay in the palace?"

"What do you mean?" Meng Xu'an smiled.

"It's ......"

Ye Yao wanted to speak and stopped, her eyes wandering back and forth on the two attendants close to her.

Seeing that she had something to say, and it was inconvenient to say it, Meng Xu'an pointed to the carriageway parked not far away: "I haven't entered the palace for the past two days, what are you talking about...... It's not very clear. If you have anything to say, get in the car and say it.

......

Lonely men and widows, riding in the same carriage, are somewhat embarrassing.

Ye Yao shrank in a corner and pondered for a long time before saying, "Yesterday, a few disciples of Kunlun Xu's came to the National Teacher's Mansion. After breakfast, the national teacher took them into the palace to meet His Majesty, and intended to introduce them to deal with the evil things in the palace. ”

"Hmm?!Didn't he strongly oppose it? Why did he go back on his word now?" Meng Xu'an was quite puzzled.

Early this morning, when Concubine Xian sent an edict, she did not have anything else to say. Could it be that she wanted to see Ye Yao fake, and it was true to call him to discuss the matter?

"The meaning of the national teacher is that he will also let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince participate. That is, my companions. ”

After weighing it for a long time, Ye Yao did not mention any doubts about the identity of the national teacher.

First, Hyunguang is a demon, and his words cannot be trusted; second, Meng Xu'an and Concubine Xian and His Royal Highness King Xian have a mother-son and brotherly relationship, and the national teacher and the prince are not on good terms, and the enemy's enemy is a friend, and the national teacher is likely to be on his side, and the accusation without evidence is afraid that it will make Meng Xu'an unhappy. With a handle in his hand, it is still a ball of harmony.

After her reminder, Meng Xu'an suddenly remembered that he, the prospective princess, had actually always been on the prince's side.

"What did the prince allow you?" he asked with a cold face.

The topic is back to square one, and the prince is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

Ye Yao was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Meng Xu'an stared at her, approaching little by little, "Silk silk, gold and silver jewelry, or a good field and a beautiful house, slaves and maids, ......?"

"No, I didn't ask for that. Ye Yao argued.

After a moment of silence, Meng Xu'an said in a low voice: "Ye Yao——, you are very good. Come to me, and I will give you what he promised you. Even, I can give you more ......."

His voice was a little hoarse, inexplicably good.

As he got closer and closer, the warm breath pressed to his ears, and the roots of Ye Yao's ears suddenly became a little hot.

She stepped back to the door and stumbled, "He'...... They promised that after the deed was done, the demon they caught would ...... It's mine!"

"Demons? ahem-"

Meng Xu'an coughed for a while, hiding the change in his face that was blue and white for a while.

Demon, he really doesn't have ......

"Ahh

The carriage jolted, and Ye Yao almost fell down by the door.

Meng Xu'an stretched out his hand to grab her, pulled her to his side, and retreated himself, leaving her a reassuring distance.

"After the wedding, I will leave Beijing to go to the fiefdom of Gunzhou. Straddling both sides of the Yellow River, it is the section of the estuary where the embankment is most likely to burst. This year, according to Qin Tianjian, it will be a year of floods. The sooner I go, the sooner I can prepare for it. ”

He said to himself, as if he was explaining to Ye Yao why he had to agree to this marriage.

"Why me?" said Ye Yao.

"Your Majesty is a good father, at least ...... Yes for the crown prince. Meng Xu'an's smile was a little bleak, and he said word by word: "As a courtier, the mission of the third brother and I is to surrender, our concubine, only need a good background, and do not need much knowledge, let alone too scheming, the last thing we need is a prosperous mother family." ”

"I see. Ye Yao nodded secretly.

No wonder His Majesty was so happy when he heard that she was illiterate, because the criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law were like this.

Uneducated - what a specialty that makes people unhappy.

"Why did you let me go to the National Teacher's Sect?" she asked again.

There are many choices between the government and the opposition, why is it the national teacher "Lu Guiyi". He is a demon, did the Great Xia Emperor notice it?

Meng Xu'an smiled and took the trouble to explain: "The national teacher is the person of the concubine. The status is high enough, but the six roots are pure, and being his righteous daughter is just to get a name, and it will not be of any practical help. My father was jealous of the third brother and the concubine, and put me in their faction, so he naturally didn't want my marriage to bring them any help. ”

I see!

Ye Yao sighed secretly, she had lived to be more than three hundred years old, and she was not as transparent as the young man in front of her.

She also finally understood that as a descendant of Emperor Gaozu of Great Xia, Meng Xu'an did not believe in demons and monsters, but ...... That's the responsibility of kings. His father did not allow it, so he could not worry about this responsibility.

Such a mutual calculation and need to be weighed from time to time is really chilling.

Although the Terrans are flesh and blood, they are scheming and destined to have a position that cannot be ignored in the Six Realms.

"One last question. Worried that Meng Xu'an would be annoyed, Ye Yao said cautiously.

Meng Xu'an tilted his head, "You want to know what the dowry is?"

was taken aback by what he said, Ye Yao was startled.

Could this person be mind-reading?!

"It was my mother's relic – a peach blossom fan. Meng Xu'an said.

"Fan?!You kneel outside the Taiji Hall, just ask the prince for a fan?!" Ye Yao couldn't believe it.

As soon as she said this, she felt speechless.

Meng Xu'an's nightmare was that his mother was given death, and she must have made a great mistake. A fan may be an object of great significance to their mother and son. If you don't know what happened back then, you shouldn't speculate.

The heart of a mortal is too unfathomable.

I knew that I should have worked more hard and learned the art of divination.
