Chapter 399 See You Again

"It's better to be beaten to death to be clean!"

Chang Ning also echoed, and then asked Xiao Qian: "What does the emperor mean? Do you really want to marry the Rong people?"

"He hasn't summoned the Beirong envoy for a long time, just thinking about it!" Xiao Qian replied, "How can it be so easy to forget the hatred and reconciliation in a country of feuds? Although there are many ministers in the court who support the marriage, there are also more ministers who oppose it." .”

"Actually, it would be a good thing for the people on the border if we really have friendly relations!" No matter what, Chang Ning didn't want to see war.

"It is estimated that the eighth princess will not be married in marriage. The emperor and empress are reluctant. If you marry a clan daughter, it will not be enough to satisfy the appetite of the Rong people, and it will not be peaceful for a few years."

Xiao Qian sighed and said: "Let's take your time to see the situation. Fortunately, we have the strength to protect ourselves now, and no one dares to bully us."

"Well, as long as I can do this for the rest of my life, that's enough!" Chang Ning knew that Xiao Qian didn't have the ambition to be king or emperor. Like Xiao Qian, she just wanted to be on the sidelines and live her life happily and peacefully.

It's just that other people probably don't think so!

In the prince's mansion, the prince has been bedridden for many days, but he is still listening to the staff's analysis of the situation.

"Xiao Shizi has always refused to have a deep friendship with us. On the surface, he does not seem to have a deep friendship with others. However, the superiority of the Concubine De has made the officials have to worry. Will Xiao Shizi always stand on the side of King Wan?" side?"

"They are cousins, so they are naturally closer than others! With such a large territory in the northwest, if King Anhui has Xiao Qian's support, it will be like a tiger with wings added."

"But Xiao Qian really doesn't have any contact with Prince Wan's Mansion, and he himself is more capable, extremely smart, and can even produce such unnatural things as firearms. I have been worried, will he have the heart of disobedience?"

"This, it can't be!" Someone said in disbelief: "The Xiao family has been loyal and good for generations!"

"Isn't the king of Zhenbei not capable enough? If the firearms are in his hands, I'm afraid that the Zhenbei prince's mansion has already become the Zhenbei kingdom."

An aide advised: "His Royal Highness, Xiao Shizi is unwilling to have deep friendship with any power in the court, nor is he willing to become the son-in-law of the royal family. It shows that he does not want to be restricted by others at all, and wants to be free and independent, so he has to guard against it!"

"Gu's body, I'm afraid I can't defend against it!" The prince took a deep breath and sighed: "Gu knows that his end is approaching, and it doesn't matter who goes to sit in this country."

Recently, the empress has been deprived of the power of the harem, and the implementation of the emperor's grandson has been blocked one after another. People in the prince's line also know that it will not work to push the prince's son to the throne.

However, they are all members of the prince. They are afraid that other princes will be oppressed by them in the future, and they must give themselves some credit or even rely on the mountain, so someone immediately replied: "Your Highness, this is wrong. This is the country of the Jing family. Any child or grandchild can sit, but the surname Xiao cannot be allowed to sit."

"Then what can we do, Northwest is still relying on Xiao Qian!"

The prince is not stupid, he knows that the Xiao family has guarded the northwest for many years, and now Xiao Qian's prestige among the people in the northwest is very high, so he can't be moved easily.

"Your Highness can persuade the emperor to allow the marriage, marry the eighth princess to Prince Yelu Xiaoran, and help him ascend to the throne of Beirong. If the eighth princess becomes the queen of Beirong in the future, with her watching from the north, Xiao Qian naturally dare not act rashly .” An aide immediately expressed a proposal that he had been planning for a long time.

"I'm afraid that the father and the queen will not give up!" Why didn't the prince understand this truth, and still sighed.

"Shu Chen and others bluntly said that excessive doting will only harm the eighth princess. With the princess's current reputation, it is difficult to find a satisfactory consort in Dayu! And as a princess, not only has the right to enjoy, but also should take the responsibility of the princess. Responsibility."

Several staff members said in unison: "It is better for the eighth princess to marry Bei Rong far away. Right now, only His Highness can persuade the Emperor! Besides——"

They changed their voices and said again: "Your Highness should also think more about the little county king, if in the future someone can't tolerate him because of the grandson's affairs, if there is a princess in the North Kingdom, those people will be more afraid."

This last sentence really touched the heart of the prince, the imperial power is the bloodiest, and there is no family affection at all.If after his death, several vassal kings were fighting for the throne, his son would inevitably be pushed out again, and it would be really dangerous at that time.

Thinking of this, the prince immediately decided to persuade the emperor and empress the next day that he must marry the eighth princess to the prince of Beirong.Firstly, to guard against Xiao Qian, secondly, for his children, and by the way, give the Eighth Princess a good name for the country and the people.

Early the next morning, Chang Ning got up and had breakfast, Xiao Qian went to court, and she drove to Wendao Hall in the west of the city alone with her maidservant.

The west of the city belongs to the slums, and most of the low-level officials live here, and few princes and nobles come here.Therefore, every time the carriage of Changning's Zhenbei Prince's Mansion came, it would attract many people's attention.

Especially in front of Wen Daotang, knowing that she was going to get off the bus, it was often crowded in the alley, full of people wanting to see her appearance.

This time was no exception, there were still many people surrounded in front of the Wen Dao Hall, but the sharp-eyed guards found that there were Bei Rong people inside.

"The people from Beirong have come to Wendaotang, is it Yelu Qingcang?" Chang Ning was startled immediately, afraid that something might happen to Wendaotang.

"Ma'am, there is no grievance or enmity between Beirong people and Wen Daotang, they must be directed at Madam, and this is a school, so they don't dare to make trouble here if they think about it." Xiao Shiba immediately persuaded: "Madam should go back first. Let's avoid the house!"

"This--"

Chang Ning was a little hesitant, because she wanted to study hard, and Qin Xiucai and Chang Xi also came from Kaoshan Village yesterday, how could she not look at her father and younger brother?
What would others say about her if they all went to the door?

If Yelu Qingcang was really in the Wen Dao Hall, some unhappy things would happen if she saw her, but if she left now, others would definitely say that she was guilty of not wanting to meet Beirong people, so the rumors would be confirmed.

She didn't care about the rumors, but she didn't want Xiao Qian and his family to continue to be affected by the rumors.

"Forget it, let's go and see what kind of tricks Yelu Qingcang is playing!" Now that you are here, face it well, hiding will not solve the problem.

Thinking of this, Chang Ning got out of the carriage without hesitation and walked straight into Wen Dao Hall.

At this time Yelu Qingcang was really inside, he was standing with a few Rong people, he was negotiating with Mr. Shen, when he heard the movement, he turned his head and saw the woman who came in, and he was stunned instantly up.

Under the sun, Chang Ning, surrounded by guards and maidservants, wore an orange-red tulle dress and a fragrant concubine-colored smoked veil skirt that stretched across the floor. The neckline, cuffs and skirt were embroidered with golden flowers and plants. It is paired with a shawl of golden floral yarn on a white background.

The clothes are light in texture and bright in color, with a slender waist when walking, wide sleeves fluttering, and an elegant and calm manner in every gesture, giving people a sense of being out of the world.

A three-tailed ruby ​​phoenix hairpin is inserted obliquely between the shiny black hair, and a long string of tassels hangs from the wind mouth, just swaying on her white and tender cheeks, complementing the drop-shaped ruby ​​pendant hanging from the ear, Bright luster.

The luster of the gemstone further highlights her skin as delicate as jade, as soft as greasy and creamy as skin.Matched with exquisite and flawless facial features, although there is no trace of makeup and powder, the lips are not red, the eyebrows are not painted but green, the eyes are shining and looking forward, and they are charming and charming.

If the Qin Changning that Yelu Qingcang saw was a beautiful little white lotus that just bloomed, then she is now a peony that has just bloomed.
