Chapter 258: Princess Marriage
Su Shengsheng initially thought that Xie Xuan was a broad-minded person, so he was not afraid of others saying that he was henpecked.
But after asking for rewards for several days in a row, she understood it deeply.
After all, men think with their lower half.
The discussion of gender equality swept Nanling within a few days.
The brothers’ channels are so popular that there is no time to collect and organize the content.
In the end, only lucky audience members can be randomly selected to participate.
This novel but unprecedented form of "counterfeit currency for prizes" has aroused widespread interest among the public.
The rave reviews for several consecutive days almost stole the limelight from the open-air cinema.
What was unexpected was that people were talking about how Queen Mother Xia of Shangbai Kingdom crowed at dawn like a rooster and enthroned the young emperor.
Su Shengsheng looked at someone who was lying there doing nothing all day, "You did it?"
It is absolutely forbidden for the people to discuss state affairs.
The brothers would not take the risk of bringing up this topic.
The people of Baishang Kingdom are slightly different from those of Nanling.
If their people joined in, it would be impossible not to attract attention.
Those literati and poets don’t even have the courage to do so.
Even if you have the courage, the slightest noise will scare you back.
But it's like boiling oil on fire, it's clear that someone is playing with fire.
If it were someone else, Xie Xuan would not be so leisurely.
When I think about the dirty dealings he and Prince Jingyuan had, there was no doubt that he was involved.
Xie Xuan felt no guilt, "My wife is the one who understands me."
After taking a sip, his expression turned cold, "It's rude not to reciprocate, but we can't leave them idle, right?"
Su Shengsheng covered her forehead.
Why does he always want to get involved? He's everywhere.
How dare a grown man like him interfere in this woman's affairs?
When Xie Xuan saw her, he immediately patted her waist and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I won't delay your business."
Hearing his confident words, Su Shengsheng just rolled her eyes.
How can this direction of public opinion be controlled?
Although discussing the affairs of Baishang Kingdom is not illegal.
At best, it's just a close look.
But how do you know that this fire won't burn her?
Regarding her, Mr. Rabbit still has a killer trick up his sleeve...
When Su Shengsheng sighed softly, Xie Xuan saw that she still had a cold face, so he quickly peeled an orange to feed her.
"When the water is muddy, it is easier to fish. To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader."
I know he is planning a big move to expose Baishang Kingdom's spy network.
Su Shengsheng could only sigh.
But when he handed her the orange slices in a flattering manner, she still bit them in anger.
Xie Xuan hissed, and when she retreated angrily, he reached back and grabbed her, lowering his head to take the orange juice into his mouth.
"Well, this year's oranges are extra sweet..."
There is a saying that goes, "You lift a rock and drop it on your own feet."
Looking at the letter presented by the envoy of Baishang Kingdom, Su Shengsheng didn't even have the mood to complain.
Bai Mi of Baishang Kingdom has reached adulthood. Because Xie Xuan saved his life, his admiration for him has lasted forever.
In compliance with Queen Mother Xia's wishes, the Baishang Kingdom is willing to conclude a marriage alliance with Nanling and betroth its princess to King Xuanming in order to promote generations of friendship between the two countries and build a foundation for peace.
Of course, as a general at the border, Xie Xuan had no right to review the contents of the official letter.
However, since the matter also involved him personally, he was able to get a glimpse of the contents of the book.
Su Shengsheng had thought that Xie Xuan would have another woman.
But he never thought that he would be noticed by a princess from a foreign country.
There is not a single mention of her in the entire article. Is she supposed to not exist?
Looking at someone who finally realized that he had played with fire too much and was staring at her cautiously, Su Shengsheng wanted to do an MRI on him to see if it was filled with straw.
She held her forehead, unable to complain.
Even with such a major event, the Baishang Kingdom didn't reveal a single word. It can be imagined that Xie Xuan's people were probably exposed as well.
Now, the envoys from Baishang Kingdom have come all the way from the capital, and they want to thank Xie Xuan for sending troops to "rescue Queen Mother Xia."
There is a bit of a sense of impending storm.
Seeing that Su Shengsheng didn't even want to talk, Xie Xuan realized that the problem was serious and threw the book to the ground.
"It's just some divisive talk. When did I ever save Princess Bai Mi? You just don't want to marry that old man anymore, so you're trying to use the beauty trap to drive a wedge between me and the lady."
Su Shengsheng took her hand away and looked at him irritably.
"The honey trap? If you haven't seen it, how can you say it's a beauty?"
Bai Mi, they have inquired and it is indeed the princess.
She is not the daughter of a clan relative or minister, but a member of the royal family.
Coincidentally, Princess Bai Mi and Tuoba Ye are siblings from the same mother, but she took her mother's surname.
It may also be that the two siblings have always been marginalized in the political circle of Baishang Kingdom, so Tuoba Ye was almost invisible in the first half of his life, manipulating the counterfeit currency case behind the scenes, causing chaos in Nanling, and rarely showing up.
And this Princess Bai Mi is not very ostentatious.
This time, I'm afraid that Queen Mother Xia and Tuoba Ye will fight fiercely, and even her own sister will be involved.
Come to think of it, the value of a woman lies in marriage.
But she wouldn't believe that Tuoba Ye was doing this for the alliance.
Now that the military and civilians of Nanling are united, even the Beirong are wary of them.
Baishang Kingdom is likely to become the next target of Beirong.
He did not want to marry into the Beirong clan, but wanted to marry into the Xie Xuan clan.
I'm afraid he's going to flatter Xie Xuan to death.
This made the emperor suspicious of this general who often humiliated him.
In the past, southern Xinjiang had to rely on the imperial court to dispatch food and fodder.
That's why the retired emperor delayed the supply of troops and caused a tragedy.
But now, the second crop of grain for the military and civilians in southern Xinjiang is about to arrive.
How could the emperor not be afraid?
At this time, the emperor had no prince and no adopted son.
Princess Baishang also had an excuse not to marry the emperor and the prince.
As for this life-saving grace...
Su Shengsheng sighed lightly, it was probably true.
However, judging by Xie Xuan's attitude, he probably had no idea when and where he saved Princess Bai Mi.
Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment, then looked embarrassed. "Isn't this what the Art of War says? Women are the source of trouble. Using beauty traps is the source of trouble."
Su Shengsheng glared at him and said, "Whether he was saved or not, why don't you just go to the envoy's residence and ask?"
Xie Xuan's expression turned serious, "I have to ask."
Seeing Su Shengsheng looking at him coldly, he hurriedly explained, "This Princess Bai Mi actually entered the pass without a sound. Shouldn't I ask her about it?"
Xie Xuan stepped forward and embraced the silent Su Shengsheng, kissing her neck. "Could it be that someone has already arrived early?"
The man from the Bai family had been out to sea for some time, and foreign merchants began to flock to southern Xinjiang.
It is normal that the guards failed to notice that the wedding party was disguised as merchants.
The mere thought that he was being targeted made Xie Xuan's dark eyes thick with a storm.
"Leave this matter to me. Don't go out these few days."
Su Shengsheng tried to get out of his arms but failed. "How are you going to deal with this? Another assassination attempt?"
They came to his territory so openly, and stayed in an inn not far from the Xuanming Palace, without even staying at the post station.
If something goes wrong, wouldn’t it be said that the leader of the Qilin Army failed to defend Chiyan City?
Can you kill a princess who is married off to a foreign country whenever you want?
People come to my door so sweetly just to guard against this trick.
The princess's death on the way to Baishang Kingdom and her death inside Nanling Pass are two different things.
If not handled properly, it could become the fuse that ignites a war between the two countries.
