Chapter 854 Encounter on the Grassland
Gu Nanxi did not interrupt the banquet to meet the envoys from the Great Zhou.
She did not receive the envoys for several days after the banquet.
However, because the envoys' delegation came with such a huge fanfare, everyone in Kyoto knew that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to marry Su Yunyan as a noble concubine.
No one dared to bring up this matter in the Yongchang Marquis's mansion. In the past few days, Duke Yun's temper had been visibly irritable.
"Lumei, give me a bowl of mung bean paste."
It's really irritating!
Gu Nanxi was very upset that her children were not getting married.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty asked to marry Su Yunyan, which made Gu Nanxi even more worried.
The mung bean soup brought by Green Plum was as smooth as jade, cool and refreshing.
Gu Nanxi took a bite and found it too sweet.
Gu Nanxi changed to a bowl of green plums, but she felt it was too cold.
I always feel upset and nothing I see is pleasing to the eye.
"Master, Yulang wants to see you."
Gu Nanxi waved: "No."
It doesn't take much to guess that Yu Lang's visit this time was simply to persuade him to quickly meet with the Great Zhou envoys.
In the view of some officials, Yunzhou and the South must maintain stability for at least five to ten years. Since the South has taken the initiative to propose a marriage alliance, why not go along with it?
As a princess, it is Su Yunyan's responsibility to marry into a foreign kingdom.
What a good deal it is to exchange a princess for ten years of peaceful development.
Ten years later, when Duke Yun unifies the world, Su Yunyan can come back and continue to be her eldest princess. Wouldn’t that be great?
"Master, you will have to meet the envoys sooner or later, why bother yourself here?"
How could Gu Nanxi be worried about the envoys? She was worried about Su Yunyan!
As for the envoys, Gu Nanxi could send them off with just one sentence: "No marriage."
But what about Su Yunyan?
Gu Nanxi remembered that this little girl had wanted to enter the harem of the Emperor of the Great Zhou and become a favorite concubine since she was a child.
Thinking about the ending of the original novel, Gu Nanxi was like a cat with its fur standing on end, and she felt like she was about to fall ill.
When Gu Nanxi thought that after all he had done, Su Yunyan would still follow her predetermined fate, competing for favor in the harem and not end up with a good ending, he would spit out a mouthful of blood.
After listening to Gu Nanxi's concerns, Lu Mei blinked and said, "Master, why don't you ask the young lady for her opinion?"
Gu Nanxi was worried: "What if she agrees?"
Lumei opened her mouth, then closed it again. After a moment, she couldn't help but sneered, "You are too concerned. I am no longer the young lady who only knew how to compare with others in the Marquis' Mansion."
You were still thinking of letting him fight for the throne, but you ended up having so little confidence in her.
Gu Nanxi rubbed his face and said, "You are right. I will write a letter to ask him. Also, call a few doctors over."
Lu Mei asked nervously, "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Nanxi had a wooden face: "I suspect that I have reached menopause."
…
Looking far into the sky, the sun is rising higher and higher, and the jade dragon is winding and charming.
On the vast grassland, Alechuan was galloping on his horse.
The only thing in his eyes was the graceful figure in front of him.
"Madam Su!"
Su Yunyan raised her hand and waved, with a smile brighter than the sun on her face: "Alechuan!"
Alechuan was too excited and rode too far. He tightened the reins and stared at the girl he had been thinking about day and night.
The lingering look made Wei Muri, who was standing next to Su Yunyan, blush.
Wei Muerer teased, "Yunyan, is he your lover in Yunzhou? He is younger than Li Yuanhao and reminds me of the leader wolf on the grassland."
Su Yunyan laughed and said, "He's not my lover, he's my childhood sweetheart. We grew up together."
Alechuan didn't hear what Su Yunyan said at all. His head was buzzing as if colorful fireworks were setting off, and his heart was beating violently with joy.
The blood in my body boiled because of Su Yunyan's smile.
Seeing that Alechuan was just looking at her and grinning foolishly, without even saying a word, Su Yunyan whipped his arm lightly with the whip: "What are you doing? Don't you recognize me?"
Alechuan just kept laughing. He didn't look like a great general of the Western Route at all. He was more like an impulsive young boy.
Mei Tang at the back of the team rolled his eyes.
Wei Muri covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes full of smiles as if he was enjoying a good show.
Originally, Su Yunyan was frank and open, and didn't think there was anything wrong, but when Wei Muri smiled at her, two red clouds appeared on her face, and she was even afraid to look at Alechuan's eyes.
"Stop laughing." Su Yunyan became angry and embarrassed.
Wei Mu Ri's ears hummed: "Isn't it just a little lover? I'm not competing with you for it, what are you afraid of."
Su Yunyan ignored her, took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and greeted Alechuan: "How have you been recently?"
"very good."
The day was filled with chatter.
Wei Mu Ri laughed even louder beside him.
Alechuan looked at Su Yunyan helplessly. Did he embarrass him?
Su Yunyan said unhappily: "Don't worry about her, just let her laugh, she loves to laugh the most."
"Oh, now that you're back, are you still leaving?"
"Let's go. The affairs of Xixia and Uighur are not yet settled. After the Xixia lord knew that A Niang had taken over Kyoto, he wanted to send an envoy group to Kyoto. It just so happened that Wei Muer'er was very curious about Yunzhou and Kyoto, so I came with her."
When persuading the three kingdoms of Gaochang to submit, Wei Mu Ri's ears contributed a lot.
She wanted to visit Yunzhou, so Su Yunyan naturally wouldn't refuse.
Alechuan was the general of the western route and had his own responsibilities. He could only escort Su Yunyan and his party to Yongzhou, and then they would go their separate ways.
Under the governance of Mr. Zhuge, Yongzhou underwent great changes, and the scene was prosperous everywhere.
The city gates were wide open, and grassland herdsmen and Han people were coming in and out, all with relaxed smiles on their faces.
When they saw Wei Murier and others wearing foreign costumes, they just looked at them curiously and left talking and laughing.
"Well, then I'll be leaving?" Alechuan was reluctant to leave. He really wanted to see the girl of his dreams again.
Wei Muri's ears burst into laughter, making Su Yunyan feel even more embarrassed.
Su Yunyan snorted: "Let's go, let's go quickly."
"Am I really leaving?" There was a hint of disappointment in Alechuan's eyes, and his feet seemed to be stuck by glue, unable to move.
"Um."
Alechuan sighed and looked back every time he took a step, looking pitiful, like a puppy abandoned by its owner.
Su Yunyan felt a little bit reluctant. The man sent her all the way to Yongzhou, but now he was sent away without even having a sip of hot water. Wouldn't that be too bad?
"etc."
Alechuan's eyes suddenly lit up and flickered, looking at Su Yunyan expectantly.
Su Yunyan instinctively wanted to look away, but she controlled herself.
She looked directly into Alechuan's burning eyes and said, "Let's go into the city and rest for a night first, and then set off tomorrow."
"Okay!" Alechuan answered decisively, with the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably.
"Hmm? Madam Su? You came back just in time. The master sent a letter." Zhuge Yu glanced at the two of them and said slowly.
The second update will be available before 5pm.
I'll take a day off tomorrow, so no need to wait for updates.
