Chapter 110 Good Counselor
Xiahou Zheng, the third prince of Jixia, has already captured the city of Yansheng and all the affiliated towns of Yantai.
Xiahou Zheng only made one request to the envoy: the eldest princess must wear wedding clothes to Shengsheng, and then the troops will be withdrawn.
Unexpectedly, Duan Ya entered the city.
Xiahou Zheng had just taken off his armor in the big tent. When he heard that Duan Ya had arrived outside the camp, he hurriedly put on his golden armor again.
"How many people did you bring?" he asked the soldier who came to report.
"One...one person."
"Haha, it's her." Xiahou Zheng smiled and was about to go out to greet her.
"Your Highness!" A young man without armor called out to him from behind.
Only then did Xiahou Zheng retract his foot and sit down in the big tent.
Shangguan Li bowed and left the tent.
As soon as he left, Duan Ya entered the big tent.
Princess Duan Ya was wearing a cherry-white Su Xue Juan dress, with a hairpin and a pearl flower. It was unspeakably plain, yet also unspeakably beautiful, a world apart from ordinary women.
She is so different, with a figure that is both graceful and upright, round and smooth but not too plump, and her eyes are sometimes moving and sometimes firm and resolute.
Not to mention the twenty-eight-year-old girls, even the eighteen-year-old girls in the city are not half as good as her.
"Your Highness." Duan Ya opened her red lips and called softly.
As soon as this voice came out, Xiahou Zheng had completely forgotten what Shangguan Li had said before.
He jumped up from his chair and went to help.
Duan Ya let him shake her hand and followed him to sit on the couch.
"Come and sit down! Did you leave early? Was the journey difficult? What kind of car did you take? What kind of food did you eat? Why did you wait until you got to the tent to tell me I'd send someone to pick you up?"
Duan Ya smiled softly: "I am afraid that you will be angry, and I am also afraid that the letter will be delayed, so I came here by myself."
Xiahou Zheng was so moved!
Duan Ya took out the letter written by Xia Hou Zheng to the emperor from her sleeve and placed it on the small table.
"If he knew you were coming, why would he write to him?" He swept the letter into the brazier beside him with a sweep of his sleeve and burned it.
Duan Ya stood up and asked, "Do you have any business today?"
"Your coming is the biggest thing."
She smiled and nodded, walked around to Xiahou Zheng, and began to remove his armor: "Then I will help you remove the armor. This is the first time I see Your Highness wearing armor!"
Xiahou Zheng stood up and Ren Duanya helped him remove his nails. Her hands were very gentle.
When Jia fell to the ground, Xiahou Zheng turned around and hugged her tightly.
"Duan Ya, I'm so afraid you're going to marry Jiu Guang! If that happens, I'll really lead the troops to take you back!"
"Duan Ya will never forget the promise she made to His Highness. Duan Ya will only marry His Highness in this life."
Xiahou Zheng hadn't seen Duan Ya for a long time and missed her very much, but he was still worried about taking the risk this time.
He asked timidly, "You won't be angry with me, will you? I came to Champa all for you!"
Duan Ya shook her head: "How could I blame you? You are saving me! In this way, I can see your sincerity in this chaotic world! In this world, you are the only one who treats me sincerely, my good brother..."
"I knew he was forcing you! There's no way you'd agree to marry that little Hisamitsu Prince!"
"It would have been better if he had just married me to King Jiuguang. He hired someone to attack King Jiuguang and asked me to leave the palace to serve him. He also asked me to take a look at the disaster in Yanzhou and used this as an excuse to give me people, money and food." Duan Ya's eyes turned red and tears flowed down.
Xiahou Zheng looked surprised.
"He did it on purpose! He wanted to blame Prince Hisamitsu's death on you. If you mobilize the army and food because of the disaster, he can charge you with treason!" Xiahou Zheng is not stupid either.
Duan Ya wiped away her tears and nodded slightly: "Fortunately, you are here. I can't go back to the capital."
"This bastard is a ruthless person! Doesn't he know his own weight? Without you, he is nothing!" Xiahou Zheng slammed his fist on the table.
"never mind."
"Duan Ya, come back to Jixia with me!" He held Duan Ya's hand tightly and said.
Duan Ya pulled her hand back and shook her head. "If I leave, I'll be fleeing the country and no longer have the status of Princess Zhao Jing. I'm not worthy to begin with, and without my status, won't I be even more unworthy?"
"What do you mean unworthy?! I wonder who dares to say unworthy!"
"Your Highness, only when one day you can influence Jixia can you say such words. Otherwise, anyone can bring you down with just a letter. You can't even protect yourself, let alone me."
Xiahou Zheng was startled, then immediately said, "It won't take long. When I become the King of Jixia, Duan Ya will be the Queen of Jixia!"
"Don't be anxious, Duan Ya, I will wait patiently. Your Highness, don't be anxious either, take your time." Duan Ya leaned against his chest and whispered.
Xiahou Zheng held her tightly in his arms: "What should we do now? You are smart, there must be a way."
Duan Ya shook her head: "I don't know what to do either. Today I just want to have a drink with His Highness to relieve my worries. We can talk about other things tomorrow."
Duan Ya stood on tiptoe and offered her sweet lips.
Xiahou Zheng had always been the one who took the initiative, while Duan Ya had always been distant. Now that she had no one to rely on, she became like an ordinary woman, scared like a frightened little rabbit, and huddled in his arms. He was really flattered.
"Okay, let's talk about everything tomorrow. Duan Ya and I will get drunk tonight!" Xiahou Zheng hugged her tightly, trying to give her a sense of security.
Shangguan Li outside the tent sighed heavily. He also returned to the tent, changed into a plain white uniform, and straightened his silver crown.
Sure enough, Xiahou Zheng sent someone to call him to the big tent.
"Li, come here, this is Princess Duan Ya."
"Shangguan Li, hello to the princess." Shangguan Li said politely.
Duan Ya took a look at Shangguan Li. He was a modest young man, nothing more than that. She was a little disappointed.
But if you look closely, you can see the difference.
He knew that Duan Ya would meet him, so he changed his clothes specially. Duan Ya didn't have to ask any questions because he knew what Duan Ya was going to ask and had already told her.
Where are you from?
He wore the unique jade of Tianyao, and his daily clothes were also the common style of Tianyao Kingdom, slightly different from Jixia's.
Where did you learn from?
He held a blank folding fan in his hand, which he had just opened and waved when he stood up. On it was written: 'Xuanzhi Yizhi, Yuesui Fengfeng'. He studied at the Xuanyue Academy, which is the most famous academy in Kyushu for producing talents who can assist the country.
How old are you?
He wore a black belt and was over 25 years old in Tianyao.
"Among so many counselors, he is the one who pleases me the most. He is both capable and understands me. He told me yesterday that he was afraid that the eldest princess would come in person to help prepare the accounts, but I still didn't believe him." Xiahou Zheng said with a smile.
"Mr. Shangguan has a unique vision. Once he sees the right person, he will naturally give his all to help. All his knowledge will be worthwhile." Duan Ya looked at Shangguan Li and smiled.
Shangguan Li bowed again, the answer had been received.
He said, "Then I will not disturb you two. I have prepared a Peach Blossom Wine, which is refreshing and warming to the stomach. You can have a good time tomorrow without worrying about a headache. It will not delay the important matters of your two masters."
"Where are the dishes? Is there anything the princess likes?" asked Xiahou Zheng.
"Yes, I dare not forget what Your Highness said."
"Mr. Shangguan, you even care about these things!" Duan Ya asked as she watched Shangguan Li leave.
"Many people were afraid to use them on this expedition, and there weren't many close personnel with them. I didn't expect him to be so good."
