Chapter 332 I owe you a favor

Zhao Shen shook his head. "According to the information we got from the Mobei Embassy, ​​the King of Mobei didn't ask her to come to Daxia. She was the one who insisted on coming here."

"Sounds like a willful little girl."

Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Yes, if that's the case, then neither the King of Mobei nor she herself would be willing to marry."

Ji Yunshu understood that the other party might really have come to Daxia for fun. No matter what the fun was, it was unlikely that she would stay for a marriage.

"So, those two princes are planning a marriage?"

Zhao Shen nodded: "Nine out of ten."

Ji Yunshu's gaze fell on the two princes. The third prince, Batu, looked tall and strong, with broad shoulders and long legs, and looked very brave.

The fifth prince, Bilige, had a face even more delicate than a woman's. Even from a distance one could see the shadows cast by his long and curly eyelashes in his eyes under the light of the palace lanterns.

He just looked a little thin, his face was pale and almost transparent, and he coughed from time to time, as if he would die at any time.

These two people are two extremes.

She looked at it for a long moment, then narrowed her eyes and said, "It was Mobei who took the initiative to seek peace this time. They were the ones who proposed the marriage, right?"

Zhao Shen didn't know what he was thinking when he heard this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Yes, this is the first time that Mobei has shown weakness to us. In the past, they would never surrender unless they were completely exhausted."

Ji Yunshu understood the implication of his words and knew that some things were difficult to say, so she did not ask any further questions. She just smiled and said, "Since they have bowed their heads and want to marry us, then can we not let our daughter marry them and let their prince stay in Daxia?"

This is actually a proton in another sense.

No matter which of these two people is involved, if she marries into a foreign country, she will have no chance of becoming king.

Of course, the fifth prince might not have had much of a chance from the beginning.

But who knows about this kind of thing?

The people in the Mobei Royal Court were not fools. A child born to a slave girl was so weak and looked like he would die at any time, but he was still alive.

Ji Yunshu never underestimates patients.

To her, this is a world of fiction after all, and based on her experience of reading novels, beautiful, strong and miserable characters are generally of this type.

As long as the noble lady of Daxia does not go to Mobei, even if Mobei tears up the agreement in the future, what happened to Xiao Yue in the book will not happen again.

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Xiao Yue for some time, and she didn't know whether her marriage was arranged or not.

Zhao Shen's eyes lit up when he heard her words: "The Emperor doesn't want a marriage in the first place. He doesn't have a princess of the right age right now. If he were to choose from among the daughters of the royal family, the princes wouldn't be willing either. Your idea is feasible."

Anyway, they didn't want a marriage alliance, so why should they let their own noble daughter suffer?

If the people of Mobei want to negotiate peace, they need to show some sincerity.

At the emperor's birthday banquet, no one was willing to risk their lives to cause trouble, so the atmosphere was harmonious.

Ji Yunshu drank too much soup and got up to leave in the middle of the meal.

It was already the end of May and approaching June. The temperature had warmed up. In the evening, there was a cool breeze and the air outside was very fresh.

She stayed outside by the lotus pond to get some fresh air.

Hearing footsteps behind her, she couldn't help but turn around, and unexpectedly the person coming was Xiao Kun.

"Why did the prince come out?"

Xiao Kun walked up to her and stopped, "Come out for some fresh air."

Seeing his indifferent expression and his dark eyes staring at the water, Ji Yunshu took the initiative to say goodbye: "Then I won't disturb you, my lord. I'll take my leave first."

She subconsciously felt that it was not good for a married woman like her to be alone here with an unmarried man.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard Xiao Kun ask, "Are you happy now?"

There was no emotion in his tone. Ji Yunshu couldn't help but look at him. He was still standing upright by the pool, his eyes fixed on the water surface that looked like it was sprinkled with gold under the light of the palace lanterns. His expression was unfathomable.

Ji Yunshu's heart moved: "Yin Shu, is he yours?"

Xiao Kun didn't expect her to ask this, and after a while he just nodded softly.

Ji Yunshu couldn't tell what he was feeling for a moment: "Why... did you do this?"

Xiao Kun then turned to look at her: "Why do you think that is?"

When he spoke, he had his usual nonchalant smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with endless darkness.

In a flash, Ji Yunshu suddenly understood something and stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning.

Xiao Kun smiled and said, "It's to thank you for reminding me last time."

Ji Yunshu's somewhat dull mind started to work, and he remembered that he had reminded Xiao Kun to pay attention to his mother last time.

She couldn't help asking, "How is your mother?"

Xiao Kun said: "I'm sick, but I'm fine."

He said it lightly, but Ji Yunshu could hear hostility in his tone.

She secretly guessed that there might be some hidden reason behind Princess Yong's illness.

Unfortunately, she only remembered that Princess Yong had passed away, but she didn't know how she died.

Thinking that her relationship with Xiao Kun wasn't close enough to allow such private conversations, she was speechless for a moment and could only say, "Well, thank you for the Southern Xinjiang matter."

Whatever the reason, Yin Shu did keep her safe.

Xiao Kun laughed out loud: "I already said that I am grateful for your reminder. Besides, Yin Shu's trip and other things were not all for protecting you."

Ji Yunshu wasn't the sentimental type. Even if Xiao Kun had something against her, she didn't need to dwell on it since he had said it so thoughtfully. "No matter what, it's a fact that he protected me. I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Xiao Kun shook his head: "Prince Zhao has already paid the due compensation. I have gained far more than I have paid. You don't have to worry about it."

Ji Yunshu was stunned, and Zhao Shen said nothing.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Kun understood what was going on. A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I want to stay here for a while. You should go back."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the pool of water.

Ji Yunshu took a deep breath and walked back.

But as soon as she entered the corridor, she saw Xiao Yue looking at her strangely.

"You...you and Brother Kun...you won't kill me to silence me, right?"

Ji Yunshu covered her face. What was this girl imagining?

Fortunately, she brought Lu Ru and Lan Yin with her when she came out. The two of them were guarding the edge of the pool just now, so Xiao Yue probably only saw her and Xiao Kun standing together and did not hear their conversation.

She was also careless. There were many people at the palace banquet today, and who knows how many people saw the scene just now.

She couldn't help but start to have conspiracy theories, wondering if Xiao Kun did it on purpose?

She glared at Xiao Yue angrily: "What are you imagining? I'm tired of living. Why would I kill you, a girl from the Prince's Mansion, to silence you at this palace banquet?"

Xiao Yue said awkwardly, "I just accidentally saw something I shouldn't have seen."

Ji Yunshu couldn't help but pat her forehead. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could you see something you really shouldn't see? I just happened to run into him and exchanged a few words. We grew up together. You didn't even say hello when you saw him?"
