Chapter 98 Birthday Banquet 5
Xiao Jinyi added beside him, "If they weren't stupid, they wouldn't have paid us three cities as compensation. Overall, we still made a profit."
These words were not spoken loudly, and only Shen Shixu and Xiao Yuanqi and the others who were around heard them. If the people of Xidi heard this, they would be so angry that they would bleed on the spot.
After what happened just now, the people of Xidi became as obedient as quails. Gesang Zhuoma and Zhuoer were taken away.
The people of Beirong were honest to begin with, and after seeing the fate of the dishonest Xidi, they became even more honest.
Emperor Wu An was very satisfied with them, and he was so kind that he took the initiative to ask them what they wanted.
Aqi Ke was still young, and when he saw Emperor Wu An, who had been angry just now, suddenly smiled and talked to them, he was a little uncomfortable and stunned for a moment.
Naqi Yuer stood up and walked out of her seat, then knelt in the hall. When Aqik saw his sister do this, he hurriedly followed suit, and so did the other Beirong people.
"Your Majesty, we have come here to ask for something. We want to open up trade with Dagan and exchange our cattle, sheep and horses for salt, tea and herbs.
If Dagan agrees, we would like to form a marriage alliance with Dagan to achieve a stronger alliance. ”
Don’t think too much about what Naqi Yuer said. The fact that she got up from her seat and ran over to kneel down is enough to show that she sincerely wants to cooperate.
When Emperor Wu An heard what Beirong wanted to cooperate on, he was very interested. Beirong’s cattle and sheep were all good things, not to mention horses.
However, after what Xidi had just done, he now had some concerns about the marriage, hoping that it would not be the second Xidi.
"Then I wonder who the princess wants to marry?" Queen Lin saw Emperor Wu'an frowning and knew what he was worried about, so she asked for him.
"My daughter has taken a fancy to the Fourth Prince of your country!"
The fourth prince Xiao Jihe, who was drinking tea, heard that the princess wanted to marry him. He lost his grip on the cup and it fell to the ground.
It is well known that his health was not very good and he was not interested in court affairs. He also turned down the offer from Emperor Wu An to go to court and gain experience in the six ministries.
It can be said that he is the least capable and has the least power among Emperor Wu An's several princes. He doesn't understand why the princess wants to marry him?
"The princess has taken a fancy to the fourth prince?" Queen Lin was also a little surprised. She thought it would be the third prince or the sixth prince, but she didn't expect it to be the fourth prince, the least noticeable among all the princes.
"Yes, I heard that the Fourth Prince has a mild temper, so I'm sure he won't treat me harshly just because I'm from a different race. Besides, the Fourth Prince and I have the same hobbies, we both like to travel."
The fourth prince Xiao Jihe usually indulges in mountains and rivers, and is the second person in the Dagan royal family who likes to run around.
Xiao Jihe then carefully looked at the Princess of Beirong below. Although her face was half covered by a veil, looking at her sparkling and firm eyes, as well as her nose and mouth that were faintly visible under the veil, it could be seen that she was a beauty.
Her figure was even more graceful, like the swan he had seen before. Thinking back on her actions just now, she was not a fool.
Xiao Jihe likes smart people, and the princess just said that she also likes traveling, so he can just think of it as finding a companion for him to go out and play.
So he stood up and bowed to Emperor Wu'an, Empress Lin and the Queen Mother, and said, "Father, mother, and grandmother, Ji He also likes Princess Beirong a little. It's rare to meet someone who has the same interests and hobbies as me."
Emperor Wu An agreed to the marriage when he saw that he had no objection. He thought that if the two of them didn't get along well, they could always divorce later. To him, the happiness of his children was still very important.
With such a happy event, the atmosphere of the birthday banquet finally became lively. After the Queen Mother finished eating the birthday peaches and longevity noodles, she was helped by the Princess to go back to rest.
Emperor Wu'an and Empress Lin also left not long after the Empress Dowager left, using the excuse that they were too drunk.
After the three big men left, the atmosphere in the hall became even more exciting.
Naqi Yuer and Xiao Jihe sat together. They had just been granted marriage and planned to get to know each other first.
They chatted non-stop. Xiao Jihe thought that Naqi Yuer was just saying that she liked traveling, but he didn't expect it to be true.
He listened to Naqi Yuer saying that the sky was high and the grass was low where they were, there were cattle and sheep everywhere, and the air was filled with the fragrance of green grass.
Xiao Jihe, who had never been to the grassland, was yearning for it and thought that he would go to the grassland after he and Naqi Yuer got married.
In return, he also told Naqiyuer about the places he had been to, including snow-capped mountains, valleys, high mountains, and the seaside...
The two agreed to visit these places together again after getting married.
Xiao Jinyi is a little worried now. Just now his father said that as long as he defeats Xidi, he can get married immediately. But now they are not fighting against Xidi, so when can he get married?
Shen Shixu saw him sighing and asked him what was wrong. After knowing that he wanted to get married soon, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, "I've seen people who are in a hurry to reincarnate, but I've never seen anyone who is in such a hurry to get married." I won't run away, so why can't we get married anytime? I think if possible, he would be eager to get married today. I always feel that I am a little dangerous. Should I ask Mr. Baili for advice? After all, he is the doctor who knows more. 】
When Baili Xi heard that Shen Shixu was going to come to him for advice, he couldn't help but clench his sleeves. He thought Shen Shixu saw the difference between him and Xiao Lie, but he didn't expect it was because he was a doctor.
However, just as he relaxed, he suddenly remembered that Shen Shixu had 011 with him, and he might have known about him down there a long time ago. Maybe it wasn't just Shen Shixu who knew about it. So many people present could hear Shen Shixu's thoughts, and his secret might have been exposed long ago.
Xiao Lie noticed that he seemed to be in a bad mood, so he gave him his favorite dish and asked, "Why are you suddenly in a bad mood?"
Baili Xi felt better when he saw the fish meat with the fishbone kicked out of it, and he comforted himself.
Who cares? As long as there is no problem with his relationship with Xiao Lie and they get along well, it doesn’t matter if he is embarrassed!
And he is not the only one who is embarrassed. Those ministers attend court with Shen Shixu all day long, and sooner or later their secrets will be exposed.
At worst, he will settle down in the capital. Although some melons will mature sooner or later, hot melons taste better.
After the birthday banquet, Shen Shixu was going to go back to his own house, but because he had just drunk two more glasses of wine, he was a little drunk.
Xiao Jinyi took this opportunity to kidnap him to Canglan Palace, and sent Mo Yu and Bai He to the Shen Mansion to inform them. Shen Zexi felt a little disappointed when he knew that his brother would not come back.
