There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 226 Let him marry me, please?
"The king of Tubo, Anlutqi, and his little daughter, Ansaiya, pay homage to Emperor Daxia!"

"Be flat, give a seat!"

Xia Houjue was dressed in the dragon robe of the Ming and Yellow Emperor, sitting high on the dragon chair, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, his face was slightly sunken, and with a slight lift of his hand, the little eunuch led them to their seats.

"Thank you, Emperor Daxia!"

After being seated, Xia Houjue exchanged some polite words, the king of Tubo also had questions and answers, and the ministers also talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

For an emperor, it is not a bad thing for the surrounding vassals to come to seek refuge, but it is still a good thing. It is much better than the Tubo king leading the tribe to seek refuge in other countries.

Xia Houjue didn't intend to treat them badly, but this princess...he absolutely couldn't have it.

Thinking of this, the king of Tubo suddenly got up and said that he would let his daughter come forward to dance a dance to cheer him up.

"No need!" Xia Houjue waved his hand.

"How can a princess with a daughter of gold be suitable for dancing on such an occasion? Even if I don't understand etiquette in Daxia Dynasty, I definitely can't wrong the princess like this!"

"Li Dequan, hurry up and bring the dancing girl up to help the King of Tubo drink!"

"Yes!"

Li Dequan went down, but the ministers below were a little confused.

'What's the matter, Your Majesty?It's just accepting a concubine, even in the filial piety period, it doesn't matter, after all, it is for the Great Xia Dynasty! '

'That's right! '

'Refused to dance, this is a blatant refusal to make a kiss! '

'Isn't it? ! '

All the ministers were dumbfounded, and so was the king of Tubo. In the audience, only Xia Houjing had a smile as warm as jade on his lips.

With a pair of knuckle fingers, he was holding the wine glass, and while enjoying the singing and dancing, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

'Brother Huang, you are a good person. My younger brother didn't misread you, and neither did Wan Wan! '

He knows that no one can change the decision of the emperor's brother, and there is no such thing as being persuaded and then agreed. Now that he refuses in front of all civil and military officials, he will never change it again.

Xia Houjing thought she was the only one who breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, there was another one, but she was wearing a red veil and couldn't see her expression.

Ansaiya didn't know that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had rejected her, but she was very happy without dancing.

That emperor was good-looking, but his eyes were cold, and he didn't even look at himself. To marry such a man, it would be better to marry an ice cube.

No matter how brave he is, I don't like him. Xia Houjing is better. He is dressed in white, just like a crane. She has never seen such a good-looking man.

The king of Tubo was a little worried, what should he do if his daughter can't get married and get married?
But he thought about it carefully, and he didn't worry about it anymore. If Da Xiachao refused to make friends, what would he do to meet him? Just blast him out soon?
After thinking about it, he finally gave up. It's hard to guess what the new emperor is thinking.

After drinking for three rounds, watching the singing and dancing almost, the banquet is over, the atmosphere is very good and enjoyable.

Anyone who knows well knows that this business is about to be completed, but the emperor doesn't want to accept a concubine, why is that?
……

At the end of the banquet, Xia Houjue stayed with the Tubo king to go to the imperial study to discuss state affairs, along with officials from the six cabinet ministries who held great power.

Xia Houjue took a look at Xia Houjing and felt that he was too busy, so he called him too.

Xia Houjing has a headache, why can't he take a break?

In the imperial study room, everyone took their seats, and Xia Houjue didn't bother to beat around the bush, so he directly distanced himself to negotiate conditions.

"My Daxia guarantees the food supply of your people every year. You only need to exchange jewelry, cattle and sheep of the same value every year. There is another crucial condition, that is...to ensure the peace of the people on the border of my Daxia Dynasty! "

When the two countries border, there must be a border place. The common people here are far away from the emperor, and are most likely to be affected by the relationship between the two countries.

If the relationship between the two countries is not good, the common people will be unlucky. If the relationship between the two countries is good, there will be mutual trade here, as close as a family, and both sides will benefit.

Xia Houjue proposed this condition for the sake of the peace of the people on the border. As far as he knows, there are three counties and six counties on the border with the Tubo tribe, and there are tens of thousands of people there.

"Emperor Daxia's words are serious?!" The king of Tubo didn't believe in such a good condition. There was no increase in the price of food and equal exchange. Isn't this equivalent to mutual trade?

He was ready to negotiate terms, but the other party came to an equal exchange, which...

"Naturally!" Xia Houjue smiled faintly: "You are not joking!"

"Good! Good! Emperor Daxia is really courageous, and he really loves the people like a son!" The Tubo king was so excited that his heart almost jumped out.

It's like you exchange your own special products for other people's hard currency. If they don't increase the price for you, they are willing to trade with you on an equal footing. How good is this relationship?

They have all broken off diplomatic relations with the Great Xia Dynasty for more than ten years, which is too surprising.

"Emperor Daxia, don't worry, now that our two countries have re-established good relations, the people on the border will be able to trade with each other, and the people will get what they need, and they can make some money by doing business, and the lives of the people will be improved!"

"This is a good thing, a good thing!" The Tubo king was so excited that he almost cried.

When he took over the tribe from his father Khan, he had already broken off diplomatic relations with the Great Xia Dynasty, and he had survived all these years alone.

Now that he has finally made it through, he no longer has to worry about food, and this tough man also shed tears.

"Don't worry, don't worry! Don't worry!"

"Since this is the case, then we have nothing else to discuss, everything is equal, as long as you meet my conditions, I would like to be friends with you forever!" Xia Houjue's tone was light, but his eyes were domineering.

Da has a pair: I don't care about your little benefits, I only have one request, that is, my people should be safe and sound.

The king of Tubo was grateful again, and he didn't complain at all, nor did he resent why God didn't give him a piece of land that could grow food.

It was good that his own people were well fed and clothed, and there was nothing to be ashamed of.

After thanking him again and again, he hesitated to look at the location of the West Wing, and hesitated to speak.

"Emperor Daxia..."

"You should take your princess back, my Great Xia Dynasty has no shortage of women!" Xia Houjue refused ruthlessly and did not even let him finish his sentence.

"But……"

"But I don't want to marry you either!" Ansaiya ran out from the west wing. She was anxious and even tore off her veil, and only looked at Xia Houjing with a pair of eyes.

"Emperor Daxia, tell me, can I marry him?"

"Ansaiya, pay attention to the rules!" The king of Tubo had a headache, this daughter was really spoiled by him.

Ansaiya remained indifferent, still only staring at Xia Houjing.

"Emperor Daxia, you don't want to marry me, so let him marry me?"

"In this way, our two countries can make peace again, do you think it's okay?"

She said this to Xia Houjue, but her eyes never left her sweetheart for a moment.
