Chapter 51 Princess Marriage
"Someone from Qiwu is coming?" Xiao Linyuan was suspicious.
The Qiwu Kingdom was surrendered by him personally leading his troops three years ago.
The reason why the regime was not destroyed like other small countries was that there were more women than men in Qiwu State, and women were in power.
If Dali took over, these women would inevitably marry Dali men, and the rulers were worried that these women would break the Dali women's belief in female virtue.
It is extremely difficult to educate people, so the court unanimously disagreed with Xiao Linyuan's plan.
In the end, he had no choice but to follow the Emperor Guangxi's wishes and not destroy the royal family. He only signed the agreement to waive war and required the Qiwu Kingdom to send tribute every New Year's Day.
It's only May now and it's still early for New Year's Day. What are you doing here?
沉卓挑了一下眉头，笑得有些欠揍，“凰栖月也在入京队伍里，听闻她这次是要来和亲呢。”
Xiao Linyuan didn't understand why he was smiling so obscenely.
"What does Huang Qiyue's arrival have to do with me?"
Chen Zhuo waved his folding fan and paced towards the door. When he touched the door handle, he turned back and said, "Huang Qiyue once threatened to marry a man stronger than herself. In Qiwu Kingdom, no one can match her. In all her battles, only the prince defeated her~"
Xiao Linyuan's face suddenly darkened. He subconsciously glanced at the small couch before anxiously saying, "Don't talk nonsense. You're tarnishing the reputation of this woman!"
Chen Zhuo glanced at Song Zijin who pretended not to hear, and then looked at Xiao Linyuan who was trying to cover up his mistake, enjoying the fun.
"Hasn't the prince always been fond of heroic women? Huang Qiyue is unrivaled with her spear, and she's also beautiful, and she's a princess. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, the prince will soon be able to enjoy her...ah!"
The sudden appearance of a military book drove him out of the house.
His handsome face won’t be disfigured!
Chen Zhuo's posture of running away with his head in his hands was very funny, but Song Zijin was in no mood to laugh.
I just feel depressed.
It turns out he likes female generals...
He lowered his eyes to glance at his slender wrists, fearing that he couldn't even lift the spear.
No, why should she compare herself with that stranger woman?
That woman is very good at martial arts, but I have the medical skills from the Divine Doctor Valley, so I am not bad either!
My mother said that everyone is born different, and no matter tall or short, fat or thin, we are the best version of ourselves.
Whether or not someone loves you, you must first learn to love yourself.
Using others to belittle yourself is the stupidest thing to do.
Suddenly, the light in front of her was blocked, and the man's index finger with thin calluses gently lifted her chin and released the brush from her mouth.
"It's dirty, don't bite it." Xiao Linyuan said gently.
Song Zijin leaned back slightly, refusing the touch of his fingers.
"I didn't eavesdrop on the court's secrets! I just don't know what to write next, and I like to bite the pen while thinking." She tried to hide her mistake and forced a smile.
What she didn't know was that this smile was uglier than crying.
"Why are you suddenly sad?" Xiao Linyuan couldn't help but ask.
Is it because you just heard about Huang Qiuyue?
"I miss my mother, I want to see them, and I want to tell them about the grievances I suffered in the Xiao Mansion, but I dare not tell them for fear that they will worry." She made up an excuse.
Xiao Linyuan felt a surge of sourness in his heart. It turned out to be because of his family. His secret expectation just now was just wishful thinking...
Even so, he still didn't want her to misunderstand.
He explained, "Huang Qiyue was the general I fought against when I was on the expedition to Qiwu Country. I have never had any contact with her outside of the battlefield. Chen Zhuo is talking nonsense. Don't listen to him."
Song Zijin's eyes wandered elsewhere, and he said nonchalantly, "I was writing a letter just now, and I didn't hear what the prince and the general said."
"If you didn't hear it, then you didn't hear it." Xiao Linyuan was defeated.
He didn't understand why this little thing was playing dumb.
Later, an oral order came from the palace, ordering Xiao Linyuan to enter the palace before noon tomorrow.
——
When the princess of a vassal state came to pay homage to the emperor, Emperor Guangxi would of course receive her personally with full fanfare.
Unlike previous times, this banquet was held in the Qingying Palace.
This palace was originally the private racecourse of the Emperor of the Kai Dynasty of Dali. It covers a very large area and it takes a stick of incense to ride a horse back and forth.
Later, the royal family gradually turned to literature, so many trees were planted here. In addition to raising horses, it was used for hunting every autumn.
The soldiers would first go to the mountains to capture some wild animals that would not harm humans, so that the frail royal family members could satisfy their hunting cravings.
Pushing open the last wooden door, the cool river breeze blew in her face, ruffling the hair on Song Zijin's forehead, and she shivered suddenly.
Xiao Linyuan gave Chunsheng a wink, and Chunsheng quickly put the cloak in his hand on Song Zijin.
"Your Majesty, I'm not cold."
Even the prince doesn't wear it, but she, a maid, wears it, which is too eye-catching.
Xiao Linyuan whispered, "We are all the emperor's people here. This is not the place to discuss cloaks. Be good."
Song Zijin immediately fell silent, not daring to refuse any further, for fear of causing trouble for him.
The wheelchair went along the city wall to the banquet hall. Song Zijin followed behind. Curiosity drove her to take a sneak peek at the bottom of the city wall. The height was at least ten feet!
No wonder they climbed so many stairs just now.
This dog emperor must have chosen this place on purpose, wanting to humiliate Xiao Linyuan again for his weak legs.
He is so evil!
When he arrived at the Yaoxin Terrace in the middle, Song Zijin saw the woman standing at the entrance at a glance.
She was wearing a bright red outfit, a high ponytail, and a golden crown at the roots of her hair. Her eyes were bright, like a leopard on the plains, and she looked energetic and dazzling.
It was the first time Song Zijin saw a living female general, and he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
The more I look at it, the more familiar this outfit seems.
She turned around and looked at Shen Zhuo, who was disguised as a guard and following him around. Isn't this what General Shen usually wears?
At this moment, Shen Zhuo was also looking at the heroic woman not far away. Why did she look so familiar?
The next moment, the woman walked towards them, placed her hand on her chest, and gave Xiao Linyuan the Qiwu Kingdom salute, "Huang Qiyue greets King Jinyue."
Xiao Linyuan replied calmly, "Princess, there's no need to be so polite."
Huang Qiyue immediately straightened up and looked at Xiao Linyuan's legs. "I haven't seen you for three years. Why did the prince suddenly change? Are the people of Dali so unfriendly?"
"Now that you've arrived in Dali, Princess, you must abide by Dali's rules. It's inappropriate to discuss our dynasty's affairs in the palace."
Huang Qiyue shrugged unconcerned, "There's a saying in your Dali...chatting about family matters. I'm just concerned about the prince's health, not discussing political matters."
Xiao Linyuan raised his hand, and Chen Zhuo immediately pushed the wheelchair forward.
"This king is not only the king of Dali with a different surname, but also the general who assists the country, so this king's health is considered to be the government."
"King Jinyue said yes, so it is."
Huang Qiyue followed beside him, first sniffing the scent on Song Zijin's body, then quickly walked to Chen Zhuo's side and sniffed Chen Zhuo's scent.
"Is the etiquette of Qiwu Country to smell everyone you meet?"
"Hehe, there are many men in your Dali, and I heard that they don't like to take a bath. This princess is curious, so I just smell it more!" After saying this, she gave Chen Zhuo an intriguing look.
"This guard smells great!"
Xiao Linyuan pursed his lips tightly.
This Huang Qiuyue is really just a tiger with all the energy. She has a dull brain and a dull nose. It's obvious that Zijin smells the best.
