Peace reigns throughout the world, the new emperor ascends the throne, and the reign is named the first year of Longguan!
The recently abdicated Emperor Chongde packed his bag, looked back at Qi Nanyuan, and said:
"That kid from Daqing, was he favored by your sister in his early years? He wants to marry you?
It is common for two countries to marry each other!
Do you believe this kindness?"
Now that the world is at peace and Han Lan is no longer a threat, he simply doesn't want his girl to marry so far away!
Although, he himself didn't plan to stay in Jianzhou City!
This is not the point. The point is that the guy from Daqing doesn’t look reliable!
He coughed lightly and continued:
"That's the situation. You can decide for yourself and don't hurt the relationship!"
He picked up the package, put it on his shoulder, glanced at Eunuch Zhang, and said:
"If you are alright, go back and review the memorials.
Today, I'm moving to Yi Garden to live with the concubines. Don't send me off. My father-in-law and I can go there on our own!"
As he spoke, he took Eunuch Zhang towards the palace gate.
Qi Nanyuan turned around calmly and said to Emperor Chongde who had just stepped out of the palace:
"Father, your girl seems very satisfied with Prince Ling from Daqing!"
Emperor Chongde paused, thinking, "Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up!"
He waved his hand without turning his head and said:
"You are her brother, you will definitely not treat her badly, just do as you wish!"
After he finished speaking, he hurried out and whispered to Eunuch Zhang:
"How's it going? Have you made an agreement with the old man from the Si family? Tell them to wait for me!"
Qi Nanyuan looked at Emperor Chongde who was gradually going away and shook his head helplessly.
He beckoned over two secret guards and said:
"Send more people and make sure the Emperor is delivered safely!"
He paused slightly, then continued, "What is the Grand Empress Dowager doing today?"
The man hesitated and said:
"The Empress Dowager left Yiyuan early in the morning and went to the Si Mansion."
Qi Nanyuan sighed upon hearing this:
"Send more people to deliver the Empress Dowager safely!"
He had only been on the throne for two days, so why did these two just abandon him?
During lunch, Queen Du Anlan said:
"Your Majesty, after all the foreign officials who came to the capital to pay their respects have left, I would like to go out for a walk."
Qi Nanyuan, who was putting a piece of bamboo shoot into his mouth with chopsticks, regretted being the miserable emperor when he heard this!
Anyone can leave!
He can't do it alone!
At this time, outside the east gate of Jianzhou, five carriages were slowly heading east!
In the carriage, Emperor Chongde muttered:
"Oh no, I didn't bring my mahjong!"
Eunuch Zhang quickly comforted him:
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten who gave you the mahjong?
You're going to her place, and you can't do it without a set of mahjong tiles?"
Emperor Chongde felt a little relieved and said:
"I heard that Old Man Lan is practicing his card skills at home. I'm afraid I'm no match for him!
When the time comes, you should cooperate with me!"
Jianzhou City, the crowded Yaxu Lao.
A man and a woman sat opposite each other and had a hearty meal!
The man looked at the unrestrained woman opposite him and found her amusing.
She has the spirit and wisdom of Si Jinxing, and is also a bit straightforward and cute.
He handed over the napkin on the table and said:
"Sister Xing, this hot pot is really good. No wonder the princess didn't get tired of it even in the capital!"
This person is Ling Yu, Prince Ling of Daqing, Nan Rongling!
Opposite is the eighth princess, Qi Nanling!
She took the tissue, wiped the red oil off her lips, and looked up at Nan Rongling.
Eight years ago, when he was praying at Linxiang Temple and read out loud his wish, he was mocked by several sons of wealthy families for having a lame brother.
The subordinates of those noble sons surrounded him.
At that time, she happened to pass by and rescued him.
She was only ten years old that year, but she felt at first sight that this man was so gentle.
Qi Nanling had kept this man in his heart for eight years. Just when he was about to forget him, he came to propose marriage to his own royal brother?
She concealed her joy and said:
"If you are just looking for a way to repay a favor, there is no need to risk your position as princess."
Nan Rongling smiled slightly when she heard this and said:
"Princess, you're worrying too much. I'm certainly not doing this to repay you.
As a neighboring country of Longyin, Daqing is willing to establish friendly diplomatic relations with Longyin.
Long Yin destroyed Han Lan, he is indeed powerful, but my Daqing is not weak either, we can destroy a city without losing a single soldier!
Two days ago, after the emperor's coronation ceremony, the dozen or so tribes in the south were obviously afraid that Longyin would expand his territory and annex them as well!
Once they unite and take the initiative, Long Yin may not be able to withstand it!
I, Daqing, am naturally also worried about this matter, so I thought that if our two countries were to form an alliance, we wouldn't be afraid of the southern coalition forces!"
He paused slightly, looked up at the girl with bright eyes and white teeth in front of him, and said gently:
“Before I came here, I didn’t know that the princess was the little girl from back then. I just wanted to make peace between our two countries!
If the princess was a tyrannical and domineering person, I would naturally not mention the matter of marriage.
What I care about is the kind, chivalrous and sincere you!
Of course, if the princess is not satisfied with me, you are free to refuse. I have no intention of forcing you."
Qi Nanling felt her cheeks getting hot as she listened to the words of the man opposite her.
He seems to be different from ordinary men!
Maybe, he can.
