Chapter 72
It wasn't until Luo Xiyao sweated from the tip of her nose that Princess Ronghui said quietly, "What an ambitious little girl."

Luo Xiyao squeezed her icy fingertips, smiled and said, "Miss Tao and I have different appreciation for paintings, so she punished me to copy female script. Although I can't understand, I still respect it. The empress arranged for the female teacher to come to Shuyunxuan, and I accepted the empress's wishes, so I obeyed. But the female official Tao did not return after changing clothes, and the maid of Shuyunxuan quietly closed the doors and windows and left the study to me and Princess Ningxin , I have to think about it. Especially when Princess Ning Xin picked up the inkstone with a smile and sprinkled ink on the desk... In this deep palace, if I want to stand alive, I have to resist."

"But who in the palace has never kneeled before?"

"Eldest princess, I have thought carefully about my actions against Princess Ning Xin. If I were just an ordinary girl, I would kneel and kneel in order to survive. If there is something to give, what is there in the world without paying the price? But I am not. , I have Helan Linzhang, the Seventh Prince of Mobei. No, he is the Seventh Prince in Mobei, and the Seventh Prince in Dongqi. There is a difference of one word, but his status is different. The seventh brother is more noble than the prince in Dongqi! Dong Qi may not have a prince, but if something happens to Seventh Brother, Dong Qi will lose more than just a prince. As long as he looks at me and waits for me, then I can live a good life."

Luo Xiyao sighed, and said: "Now that I think about it, I'm really stupid. With such a person behind me, why should I use a needle? Even if I use a dagger to scratch Princess Ning Xin's face, it won't matter if I think about it. Princess Ning Xin will deal with me. If you are young, you are bullying people, but if you are big, you will not take the peace of Dongqi and Mobei seriously, and abandon the dignity of the people and the royal family, isn't it?"

"Your Majesty's decree for me to marry Mobei is not just to stabilize Mobei and leave a way for Dongqi to retreat? If Your Majesty and the common people feel that Dongqi is already a kingdom of God, and there is only prosperity and peace, then the luck of Dongqi is really good." It's over."

Princess Ronghui didn't feel offended, but asked calmly, "Continue."

Luo Xiyao casually drew a few circles on the paper, and wrote Dongqi, Mobei, Ximan and Nanhai in the circles, "Dongqi has a lot of plains and a lot of food. Mobei is in the extreme north, where winter is long and summer is long." It is short, food is not abundant, there are many cattle and sheep, and there are many mountains. Ximan lives in the vast grassland. Although many tribes live in nowhere and nomads live, they have strong soldiers and horses. There is also the South China Sea. It is said that there is a supreme land at the end of the South China Sea The country is rich in gold and jade, very rich, and it is a land of immortals, but none of the people who went there by boat came back alive.”

Princess Ronghui nodded her head. She knew that the Supreme Kingdom really existed, and no one who went to find the Supreme Kingdom came back alive, but the people from the Supreme Kingdom really appeared in Dongqi. It's just that the man was injured too badly, so he left within a few years.

"Not to mention other small countries, these four major countries have their own strengths. In a real fight, whoever wins or loses is possible. In comparison, it is true that Eastern Qi is rich, but Mobei and Western Man are easy to defend and difficult to attack. They can come Dong Qi will occupy it if it wins, and flee if it loses, but what about Dong Qi? If it cannot be taken down, it will always be the people of Dong Qi who will suffer. Why did Emperor Chongyi and Emperor Jingde take the power of the whole country to defeat Mobei and Ximan? The purpose of retiring is to give Dong Qi a chance to recuperate. Now that Dong Qi has recuperated, the same is true for Mobei and Ximan. Today I can kiss Mobei, but how do I know that there will be no daughters and Ximan in the future?"

Luo Xiyao said loudly, "A marriage is just a way to slow down the battle."

Princess Ronghui looked at Luo Xiyao in astonishment, "Who told you? Helan Linzhang?"

Luo Xiyao smiled and shook her head, "Isn't the eldest princess thinking too much of me? Brother Seven, even if he likes me, he won't tell me about such state affairs." She tightened her nose, revealing the cuteness of a little girl, "It's not difficult to know about it, just look at the actions of the court."

"Pingcheng is in the north, and living in Anguan is not far away. Whether you are marching or trading, you have to go through Pingcheng to go to Ju'anguan. In recent years, there have been many caravans in Pingcheng. Some people look like they are not ordinary bodyguards. The smell of blood is either soldiers or bandits. If I am not mistaken, Dong Qi should have arranged for a caravan to go to Mobei to secretly accumulate wealth and inquire about news. The eldest princess did not attend the full moon banquet of the eleventh prince, and did not see the second prince send him off. The pair of blood corals that entered the palace, such corals can only be found in the Mobei sea area. The second prince dared to show it out generously, indicating that the source of the blood corals is not a problem, then..."

"What else did you guess?" Princess Rong Hui leaned forward slightly, and the air in the study became tense.

Luo Xiyao combed her long hair that was hanging down her chest, and asked back: "I was born in Pingcheng and grew up in Pingcheng, so what I know is naturally about Pingcheng, Ximan and Nanhai, I can just guess at random. Marriage, doesn't it mean that Ximan is about to move? I've been in the capital these days, and I haven't wandered around. I've asked about the price of rice, tea and porcelain in the capital, and even asked about salt and iron, so I guess ...Your Majesty, if you can accumulate wealth through Mobei, you can accumulate grain through West Man."

"The South China Sea is just a legend."

"Princess Dachang knows that." Luo Xiyao raised her eyebrows, "If it was just a legend, you wouldn't look like this. You must have seen people from the South China Sea."

Before Eldest Princess Ronghui could speak, Luo Xiyao laughed, "I'll say it casually, it doesn't matter if I guess wrong, anyway... that's where I can't go right now."

"You still want to go to the South China Sea?"

"Why not?" Luo Xiyao glanced at the circles drawn, "If you can fly in the sky, who would be willing to be a frog in a well?"

She was testing the eldest princess Ronghui.

If Princess Ronghui lived in Meilin Bieyuan for a long time and did not ask about world affairs, she would not be aware of Dong Qi's activities in recent years. She knew it, and she was not surprised, which meant that she had been watching and listening.It is true that she is the eldest princess of Dongqi, but the person sitting on the throne is no longer her father and brother, but her nephew.

Eagles know how to let go of the young eagles to fly, but Princess Ronghui, who is valued by Emperor Chongyi, doesn't understand?

Is she worried, or reluctant?
From Luo Xiyao's point of view, Princess Ronghui is really too contradictory.

"You don't seem to have no attachment to Dong Qi?" Princess Ronghui suddenly asked.

Luo Xiyao's heart trembled, and she lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, "My parents are both dead, and wanting to see the places they have been to is a kind of...inheritance, right? I hope that I am not only a continuation of their blood, but also a It is the continuation of their will. I heard from my mother that my father rode out of Ju'an Pass and entered Mobei on horseback more than once, so I want to see it."

That's right, she's going to have a look at the ancestral graves in Pingcheng, her father's is a clothes tomb, and so is her mother's.

What about them?

Is there another secret behind the death of the father?
Is the mother's suspended animation to delay the imperial decree of her marriage, or is there another purpose?
In the previous Eastern Qi Dynasty, she died tragically, thanks to the Second Prince and the Su Mansion, as well as the Luo Mansion in Pingcheng, but what about the Eastern Qi court?Are they right?

Why wave after wave of people came to rescue him, but they failed. If the second prince had this ability, he would have been a prince long ago!

Luo Xiyao held her breath, if Emperor Dong Qi also wanted to use her to gain something, she would never have such a miserable end.
