Tuoba Ling sat next to Qin Yanning. For some reason, he couldn't help laughing whenever he saw her.
When he was in court today, Shaman said that he seemed like a different person. If Amu hadn't reminded him all the time, he would have been afraid to laugh out loud in front of those old-fashioned people in the court.
Unfortunately, his good mood today was ruined by a piece of news from Dazhang.
Tuoba Ling hesitated for a moment before telling Qin Yanning the news, "Da Zhang said they would send someone to the desert."
Qin Yanning nonchalantly played with a handful of oriental pearls in his hand and said with a smile, "Damo is a powerful nation. Since you have just ascended the throne, it is not surprising that they would send people to celebrate. I will then send my mother out of the palace to play for a few days."
"Who is coming? My second brother or fifth brother?"
Although Emperor Dazhang was amorous and left behind many offspring, not many of them survived to adulthood, and many of those who survived were mediocre.
According to the original owner's memory, among the adult princes of Dazhang, only the second prince and the fifth prince were still worthy of being on the stage.
Tuoba Ling had long accepted the fact that the reason Qin Yanning had suffered so much injustice in the harem of Dazhang was because she was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Therefore, when he saw that she knew something about the affairs of the previous dynasty, he did not take it to heart.
"It's the Fifth Prince who's here."
Qin Yanning nodded. She was not surprised. The fifth prince's mother's family was born in the military, and the fifth prince also had a good physique.
Although Da Zhang is now weak, they still believe that the desert is a barbarian land. The second prince is weak, so the emperor will naturally not send this prince out to take risks.
Qin Yanning looked at Tuoba Ling, and seeing that he was a little hesitant, she guessed that he had something else to say.
Qin Yanning waved his hand, signaling the serving palace servants to withdraw, "Anything else?"
Tuoba Ling didn't want to hide it from Qin Yanning, so he whispered, "The Seventh Princess is also traveling with us."
Qin Yanning almost couldn't help laughing when he heard Tuoba Ling's words. The original owner's surname was Six, and the Seventh Princess was born to the Imperial Concubine.
Back then, Lin Yue was working in the Imperial Concubine's Palace. She became pregnant with the original owner after the Emperor visited her while she was drunk. The original owner and the Seventh Princess were born only half a month apart.
After Lin Yue became pregnant with the original owner, the imperial concubine thought she was betraying her master and thought of many ways to torture her. If it weren't for Lin Yue's strong character, she might not have lived to give birth to the original owner safely.
The Seventh Princess and the original owner were born one after the other. Ever since she was old enough to understand, the Imperial Concubine had often told her that Lin Yue was a lowly and treacherous slave. When the original owner was six years old, she had just picked a flower in the garden, but the Seventh Princess ordered her to kneel in the garden for three hours.
At that time, Lin Yue was not favored, and the original owner was an almost invisible princess, so naturally no one would care about the harm she suffered.
Seeing that she had humiliated her elder sister so much and no one punished her, the seventh princess became even more outrageous.
Perhaps because she inherited the Imperial Concubine's cruel methods, the Seventh Princess also had many ways to torture people. The original owner still had a scar on her knee, which was the frostbite mark left by the original owner when she was punished to kneel in the snow.
It was not until the seventh princess was twelve years old that, at the imperial concubine's request, the emperor selected several famous teachers for her, and she gradually gave up the idea of bullying the original owner.
At the beginning, Da Zhang wanted to use marriage to maintain peace between it and the desert. The princess chosen at the beginning was the seventh princess. It was the imperial concubine who pushed Qin Yanning, the sixth princess, in front of the emperor, so she was spared the marriage.
Qin Yanning bent slightly and touched her knees. Although the original owner of this small world did not have any wishes for her to fulfill, since she had used her body, Qin Yanning would not let go of anyone who had bullied her in past and present lives.
She originally thought that she would have to wait a few years until Tuoba Ling's craftsmen officially produced the muskets and they began to unify the surrounding countries before she could see her old friends from Dazhang again. Unexpectedly, Dazhang was so eager to send people to her door.
Qin Yanning naturally understood what Da Zhang was planning by sending the Seventh Princess over at this juncture.
There are tens of millions of miles between the Great Desert and Dazhang. I believe that Dazhang must have heard the news that Tuoba Xiao died suddenly and Tuoba Ling inherited the Khan throne, so they sent the Seventh Princess here and wanted her to take the position of Queen Consort.
For the Seventh Princess, being the Queen Consort to Tuoba Ling is much better than being the Consort to Tuoba Xiao. For Emperor Dazhang, giving away a favored princess in exchange for peace between the two countries is also a profitable deal.
Because the two places are far apart, the transmission of information is naturally not synchronized. Da Zhang must not know at this moment that she has become the Queen Consort of Tuoba Ling. I wonder if the Seventh Princess will leave or stay when she learns the news halfway through her journey?
Qin Yanning thought with some malice.
Tuoba Ling had investigated Qin Yanning before, so he naturally knew about the not-so-harmonious past between her and the Seventh Princess. When he saw Qin Yanning smile, he knew that his little wife had her own plans in mind. Since she was not angry, he felt relieved.
Tuoba Ling also knew the reason why Da Zhang sent the Seventh Princess. "Don't worry, you will not only be my Queen Consort, but also my only wife."
Tuoba Ling was raised by a pack of wolves. He was used to the faithfulness of animals, so he was even more disdainful of humans' fickleness.
Now that he has married the person who makes his heart beat, he will spend his whole life treating her well. He wants his future children to grow up in the love of their parents, instead of having to survive among wild beasts like him.
Life is too short and too long. If you are attracted to everyone you meet, you are not even a beast.
