The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 196 Princess Sincerity
After Ruan Fu led a group of people into the posthouse, Princess Luoxia summoned the grassland envoys to introduce them to Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue.

"This is my cousin, Prince Buda."

Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue had noticed this young man a long time ago. He was dressed in a blue and white prairie robe and was tall and tall, but the golden crown on his head was something that could not be ignored. At the beginning, I didn't introduce this person to them right away, so they were naturally not in a hurry.

What's more, Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue already knew them a little bit, even if Princess Luoxia didn't tell them, they wouldn't be completely ignorant.

Prince Buda is about 26 and seven years old. However, although his appearance is as rough as that of a grassland person, he also has some gentleness of a Central Plains person, which makes him look less like a grassland person and more handsome than a Central Plains person.

Prince Buda smiled, and there was a dimple on his lips, which made people look a little more friendly.

After being introduced by Princess Luoxia, Prince Buda also bowed to Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue, "His Royal Highness, Princess Jin has heard about these two great names, and Buda admires them very much."

Yu Wujue looked at Prince Buda, "The prince speaks the Central Plains very well."

Although Princess Luoxia was able to communicate with them in the Central Plains dialect, she had a strong grassland accent, and this Prince Buda could tell from just these two or three sentences that there was no grassland accent. On the contrary, his accent is very smooth and natural, just like he often speaks.

Prince Buda laughed and said, "Indeed, my aunt is from the Central Plains. I can speak the Central Plains dialect fluently since I was a child, but I grew up in the grasslands, so I don't speak many Central Plains dialects. If it is inappropriate, please also invite His Royal Highness King Jin and Princess Jin Haihan."

Ruan Fu smiled, "The prince was joking. It sounds like the prince's Central Plains language is very good, and he can't say anything wrong."

Prince Buda smiled slightly, "I heard that King Jin and Princess Jin have also been to the grassland, so I think you two can understand the grassland dialect."

Ruan Fu smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to say that my prairie language is not very good. I can only speak simple things, but there is no problem listening. If the prince wants to communicate in prairie language, he has to talk to my prince. .”

Prince Buda didn't seem to mind, and said with a smile, "I've heard that King Jin is a man of unparalleled intelligence. Now I'm lucky enough to visit the Central Plains. I will ask King Jin to give me more advice in the future."

Yu Wujue nodded lightly, "It's easy to say."

Princess Luoxia next to her saw this, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "If my cousin has anything else to say, I'd better wait until later to teach King Jin and Princess Jin, and I will introduce people from our grassland to King Jin and Princess Jin. .”

Only then did Prince Buda get out of the way, but before Princess Luoxia continued to introduce people from the grassland, Prince Buda took the initiative to say, "These two are famous warriors from our chief tribe, Anji and Batu."

The two saluted with Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue one after another. This time when they came to the Central Plains, the grassland was originally dominated by Princess Luoxia, and it was reasonable to say that Princess Luoxia would do the referral, but Buda took the initiative to invite her. The envoys from the prairie next to him frowned slightly and whispered something in prairie dialect, but Princess Luoxia didn't say anything when she saw this, she just stood by the side leisurely, waiting for Buda to general Everyone has recommended.

Buda’s so-called referrals introduced some tribal warriors who followed this time. There are many differences between the grassland and the Central Plains. The status of warriors among the tribes is extremely high. The important ministers or generals in the army are generally.

After introducing several warriors, Buda seemed to realize that he seemed to have done something. He turned to Princess Luoxia and said, "Sister, forgive me, brother can't wait to introduce the warriors of our grassland to King Jin and Princess Jin."

Princess Luoxia didn't say anything, and said with a smile, "These are the best warriors in our tribe, and we really need to introduce them carefully. Later, we will have to compete with the generals of the Central Plains. how?"

"Since the princess has a heart, it's okay for the two sides to discuss each other. After the king presents the performance, arrangements must be made."

"That's good, the princess is looking forward to it."

Ruan Fu glanced at the envoys on the grassland, and after Princess Luoxia briefly explained who else was following, Ruan Fu said, "Today, the princess and you can rest in the posthouse first, and after tomorrow, we will go to the posthouse to rest." Come into the palace to meet His Majesty, at that time, Kingdom Chen will definitely host a banquet for the princess and prince."

Princess Luoxia also readily agreed, and after the people in the grassland settled down, Yu Wujue and Ruan Fu left the posthouse.

Jin Yun and others were already standing guard outside the post house, and when they saw Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue coming out, they also stepped forward to salute.

Yu Wujue nodded, and said, "Arrange some people to protect, don't be deliberate or too obvious."

Jin Yun nodded.

Yu Wujue said, "You have worked hard this time, you can arrange other things first, and come to the mansion to see me later."

Jin Yun responded in a deep voice, but Ruan Fu said in time, "General Jin hasn't returned home yet, Jin An is now nearly seven months pregnant, and General Jin must be thinking about it nervously, so let's go back to the house first to have a look. It’s okay to come back to the palace later.”

A look of excitement flashed across Jin Yun's eyes, but he still looked at Yu Wujue's expression first.

Hearing this, Yu Wujue nodded with warmth in his eyes.

Jin Yun looked excited, "Thank you, my lord, and my concubine."

After all, he seemed overly excited, turned around and left without waiting for Yu Wujue and Ruan Fu to say anything.

Ruan Fu looked at him, and laughed softly, "General Jin's tough man, at this time, he has more tenderness as a husband and a father."

Yu Wujue was noncommittal, but said in a low voice, "If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wait for a moment."

When Ruan Fu heard this, he glanced at him lightly, but didn't say anything.

The two headed towards the palace gate, they wanted to report to Emperor Yuanchang about the envoy they received today.

Later, Jin Yun came to the Jin Palace. When Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue saw him, it was not difficult to see some joy on his face. Without thinking about it, they knew that it was probably because they had seen Jin when they returned to the mansion. Princess An.

Ruan Fu just smiled knowingly, and after asking Jin Yun a few words about Jin An's situation, he said, "General Jin, how do you feel about escorting the third prince back this time?"

Speaking of business, Jin Yun's expression became more serious again, and he said, "Things are not much different from what the prince and princess had expected at the beginning. When we went north and approached the border between Chen Kingdom and Beiyan, we began to be attacked Frequent harassment, the third prince was secretly assassinated many times, this time, we lost more than a hundred people."

Yu Wujue nodded thoughtfully, this situation was already expected, and the loss of hundreds of people was already the result of careful arrangements.

Ruan Fu sneered and said, "After entering Xiyue, the situation was even worse."

Jin Yun nodded, and then told Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue about the situation after the group of people entered Xiyue. After they escorted Xia Houshu into Xiyue, the assassination they encountered became more and more rampant. I haven't returned to Xiyue for many years, and no one can tell who those people are for a moment, but the interior of Xiyue has indeed been chaotic in the past few years, and after several rounds, it gradually became certain, except for the emperor Xia Houyan In addition to my uncle, there are some other brothers, among them, even in the territory of Xiyue, there are also people from Beiyan.

"People from Beiyan." The corners of Ruan Fu's eyes moved slightly, and when he heard this, he said, "It seems that Yan Jing has joined forces with Xia Houyan."

Yu Wujue said, "Since the alliance of the nations, Beiyan has started to make moves in the northwest of the Central Plains. Since Xia Houyan took the initiative to come to the door, Beiyan will naturally not give up the meat he got. Although Emperor Xiyue did not fight for the throne The heart of the Central Plains even wants to preserve the blood of the tribe. However, Xia Houyan is still young, so he may not have no blood. His blood concept is probably not as good as that of Emperor Xiyue. He wants to unite with Beiyan. There may be something about An Xia in it. .”

Hearing this, Jin Yun nodded and said, "My lord is right, there is indeed An Xia's matter, the Tianxuan Army has been in the north all year round, and the general will be fortunate to see some tricks of An Xia's folk masters. Twice the Anxia people."

Ruan Fu heard the words, only sighed lightly.

Jin Yun then continued to talk about what happened after Xia Houshu was sent to the capital of Xiyue along the way. The emperor of Xiyue was indeed seriously ill. In the imperial capital of Xiyue, the news could no longer be hidden. After Xia Houshu returned home, What he was facing was the process of directly competing for power with Xia Houyan. When Emperor Xiyue was seriously ill, he could not provide Xia Houshu with much convenience at all. He only left a few confidant ministers for Xia Houshu. , and many people were still dissatisfied with the third prince who came back suddenly. For a while, the situation in Xiyue was a bit chaotic.

After hearing this, Ruan Fu just nodded, "Xia Houshu has already gone back, how well Xiyue's political situation can be controlled can only depend on his ability."

Yu Wujue said, "Let's leave some people in Xiyue, don't worry, Xia Houshu won't be finished so soon, besides, don't forget, Meng Qian has already arrived in Beiyan, and Yan Jing probably won't be able to leave him soon. Too much focus on Xiyue."

Ruan Fu smiled, "I know it." There was a hint of pride in his tone.

After talking about the matter of Xiyue, Ruan Fu thought for a while, and took the time to say, "General Jin escorted the envoys from the grassland to Beijing along the way, did you find anything?"

Jin Yun said succinctly, "There is disharmony within."

"Oh?" Ruan Fu didn't think at all, just asked with a smile, "General Jin, tell me."

Jin Yun frowned subconsciously and said, "On the surface, it seems that Princess Luoxia and Prince Buda are friendly cousins, but in fact, Prince Buda was secretly competing with Princess Luoxia along the way. Among them, nearly half of them are not of the same heart as Princess Luoxia, and together with Prince Buda, they have made a lot of bets on this Princess Luoxia... On this journey, just the halfway escorted by the last general, Princess Luoxia is very happy. There were three assassinations."

Ruan Fu smiled and shook his head, looking at Yu Wujue.

Yu Wujue seemed quite comprehensible, and said, "Prince Buda's father is the chief of the prairie tribe and the younger brother of the prairie king, but this younger brother died young, so Prince Buda has always been by his side. Around me, since the previous generation, the tribe of chiefs has declined, and the chiefs are naturally kings or kings, whether they are righteous or not, especially in this generation, they are even more ignorant, and some are cowardly and stupid. The mother of the prince of Buda is not only a Central Plains It is said that she was a female slave who had a relatively low status after the Central Plains people went to the grassland, so Buda's identity has always been embarrassing, but the only child left by the only younger brother of the king of the grassland made him love him so much that he almost regarded it as his own. From the perspective of children, this prince of Buda is quite capable, but even if he is capable, he is the son of an orthodox prairie king. Besides, he was born of a female slave, so he is rarely respected by prairie people, and the prairie king is just a fatuous man. As a senior, I can’t see Buda’s ambition, or even if I see it, I don’t necessarily have other intentions.”

Ruan Fu understood now, that is, the grassland king raised a white-eyed wolf himself, and now this white-eyed wolf has become his daughter's public enemy. As Princess Luoxia's reputation gradually increased, Prince Buda naturally wanted to share He wanted a piece of the pie, and even wanted to take for himself the achievements of Princess Luoxia's subjugation of the surrounding tribes in the past two years.

If they guessed correctly, since Princess Luoxia made a move, Prince Buda has also been involved in it, and the complexity of it cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

Immediately sighed, and talked with Jin Yun about some things along the way, the sky gradually darkened, Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue let Jin Yun go back, but the two still did not leave the study.

Ruan Fu was thinking about something, Yu Wujue smiled and embraced her, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Ruan Fu rubbed his brows, and said with a smile, "You said that in the grassland, most of them are strong. Speaking of which, the king of the grassland can't do anything, and now there is finally an extra Princess Luoxia, not to mention this Princess Luoxia's mother is also one of the princesses of the tribe, and Princess Luoxia herself has the demeanor of a tribal chief a hundred years ago on the grassland in the past two years. What exactly is it for?"

Yu Wujue didn't seem to have any of her questions at all, instead she said, "If Ruan'er is a prairie person, she must be as determined as a fallen princess to win over the prairie."

Ruan Fu naturally nodded, just like what she was doing now.

However, Yu Wujue shook his head, "But not all the tribes in the grassland want to be unified, not to mention that there are less than 100 tribes left because of Princess Luoxia. The grassland has been divided for a long time, and gradually A large tribe, with its own interests, naturally does not want to be subordinated to the chief tribe and become a courtier. This is just one of them. It has nothing to do with them whether the grassland is unified or not. Some people have been eating vegetarian meals for many years, and they have already had channels to obtain their own interests. The mediocre Prairie King probably doesn't understand as well as his current incumbent, probably he doesn't want to let his daughter become the king, otherwise why Princess Luoxia has been fighting alone for the past two years, but there is no news from the Prairie King..."

Ruan Fu was taken aback, and she guessed most of them. As for the intention of that stupid Prairie King, she didn't think about it for a while, and then she smiled, "What about the third one?"

Yu Wujue looked down at her, "The third is that there is something about Princess Luoxia that makes most people in the grassland want to restore unity, but they still can't be convinced and have ambivalence."

For the first two reasons, Ruan Fu didn't need Yu Wujue to talk too much, and she could quickly think of all kinds of things related to each other, but the third answer made her a little confused.Is really puzzled.

"Like?"

Yu Wujue shook his head, expressing that he didn't know either.

Ruan Fu's face was slightly gloomy, and he didn't want to look at him.

But Yu Wujue smiled and said, "I don't know now, but I will know soon."

Forget it, Ruan Fu sighed lightly, but still said, "As you said, the King of the Grassland is nothing, and I don't know how this Princess Luoxia came out to provoke this important task. State visit, but the peace of the Central Plains in the past few years is certain. It seems that Princess Luoxia wants to unite with us and take over the grassland. Now that the grassland is falling apart, it may not be a good thing for the Central Plains. If it is too unified, It will also become a trouble, what do you think the father thinks?"

"Whether the grassland is unified or not is both beneficial and harmful to the Central Plains. It only depends on the relationship between the two parties after the unification. Even if Princess Luoxia is really capable, it will not be three or five years before the huge grassland wants to be subdued." If we don't intervene, it's possible that Beiyan and even Anxia will intervene. In this case, how can it be easier for others, let alone..." After a pause, Yu Wujue said , "If we form an alliance with the grassland, we also need some mutual agreement."

A mutual agreement... Ruan Fu frowned, "Marriage?"

Yu Wujue was noncommittal.

"If this is the case, neither side seems to have any suitable people."

Yu Wujue smiled, "Even if it's not a marriage, there are always other ways. In this world, the strongest and most durable but also the most fragile and simple is the transaction of power and money."

Ruan Fu was taken aback, and sighed softly, "Wu Jue, I think that after I married you, my head probably still stays in Tongzhifu."

These words made Yu Wujue chuckle, and lovingly caressed Ruan Fu's cheek, "It doesn't matter, as long as I have a husband."

Ruan Fu glared at him angrily.

But Yu Wujue said, "At any time, peace cannot be maintained forever, but within a period of time, there is no problem, Ruan Er, we can't control the affairs of the ages, and even in this life, we can only control the affairs of the three or five. load."

Sighing faintly, Ruan Fu said, "I know." She knew in her heart that regardless of whether the alliance with the prairie, no matter whether the prairie agrees or not, the competition between ethnic groups is like the establishment of a dynasty in the Central Plains for thousands of years. Like the change of regime more than a dozen times, it is impossible to maintain peace forever. It can only maintain some affection and interests for a period of time without touching their respective interests.

But this is a historical necessity. Both she and Yu Wujue knew this in their hearts, so Ruan Fu didn't think too much about it, and said, "Princess Luoxia is a very interesting person. Although I went to I have been to the grassland, but I have never heard of her name, during this period of time, I will treat her well."

Speaking of this matter, Yu Wujue thought of Princess Luoxia's joy in speaking to Ruan Fu today, a dark look flashed across her eyes, and she glanced at Ruan Fu, her expression was still gentle, and she didn't say anything, only a flash of light flashed across her eyes. consider.

==
On the second day, Emperor Yuanchang held a banquet in the palace to receive the grassland envoys.

Princess Luoxia was still dressed in red, but she was much more solemn. She even wore a feather pattern representing the chief princess of the tribe on her head. She was wearing a bright red dress of a prairie princess, making her look very bright.

Behind her was a group of envoys from the prairie. As soon as they entered the main hall, they saluted Emperor Yuanchang, "Luoxia greets His Majesty the Emperor Chen on behalf of the King of the Grassland, and wishes His Majesty the Emperor Chen a long and prosperous life." .”

Emperor Yuanchang smiled loudly, "Princess Luoxia is indeed a heroine, please hurry up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Princess Luoxia got up, but she didn't go to her seat, but still stood in the hall and said, "To express my sincerity, this time, Luoxia brought a big gift to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Oh?" Emperor Yuanchang looked at Luoxia and the people behind her with great interest, and said, "Princess also brought me a gift?"

"Exactly." Princess Luoxia nodded, and after she finished speaking, she raised her hand, An Cheng gave him a very perceptive wink, and saw a man who was as tall as a grown man and as wide as a man walking in at the gate of the palace outside. A five-foot box.

Emperor Yuanchang watched this scene with a smile, "Is this the gift the princess is going to give me?"

"Your Majesty, please accept it with a smile." Then, Princess Luoxia opened the box. As soon as the box was opened, a golden light shone out. In the box that was one person tall, there was a shimmering golden plant. Gold carvings, embellished with pearls and jade, are lifelike and gorgeous.

The ministers gasped when they saw it.

The smile on Emperor Yuanchang's lips froze for a moment.

Then I heard Princess Luoxia say, "The eagle and the eagle are the sacred objects on our grassland, and only the king can rival them. Now, my grassland tribe, with the golden eagle as the town, now sends the golden eagle to Chen Kingdom. Protect the country of Chen and our grassland for a long time to repair, and also protect His Majesty and the people of the country of Chen for a long time to be healthy."

After hearing this, Emperor Yuanchang smiled loudly, "Okay, okay, I really like the gift prepared by the princess, please take your seat."

The corners of Princess Luoxia's lips curled up, as if she was quite satisfied with Emperor Yuanchang's attitude, and from the very beginning, the golden sculpture presented also showed the attitude of Princess Luoxia and even the grassland.

Princess Luoxia sat down on her own seat, facing Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue, and the position next to Yu Wujue and Ruan Fu was Yu Wuhan's.

After Princess Luoxia sat down, she smiled happily at Ruan Fu, her smile was bright and friendly, but her eyes quickly spotted Yu Wuhan sitting next to Yu Wujue, with a bright smile There was a sudden pause, and a flash of astonishment, disbelief, and excitement flashed across his eyes...

Her expression was completely reflected on her face, she stared blankly at Yu Wuhan's direction, Yu Wuhan naturally noticed it, but looked over calmly, with a gentle smile on her lips, but her eyes There is no wave in the eyes.

Emperor Yuanchang also noticed it naturally, and couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong with the princess, could it be that she met King Qing?"

Princess Luoxia was withdrawn from her thoughts by Emperor Yuanchang's words, and all the original emotions disappeared completely in her eyes. She nodded slightly to Yu Wuhan, but said, "Luoxia just arrived in Yongjia yesterday, but I have heard a lot about it outside. The people of Chen Kingdom praised the several princes in the court, so it turned out that this is the elegant and carefree Prince Qing."

"Haha, King Qing has indeed got the nickname of Young Master Xiaoyao among the people. The princess has grasped this on the first day she came here. Could it be that she has taken a fancy to my son?"

Yu Wuhan was a little helpless, "Father..."

The children of the prairie dare to love and hate, these words fall into the ears of women in the Central Plains, and they must be shy for a long time, but Princess Luoxia does not, and said with a smile, "Luoxia naturally appreciates His Royal Highness King Qing, if His Majesty wants Luoxia Bring back a husband-in-law from the Central Plains, but you have to beat Luoxia first!"

Her words were quite forthright, without any coercion, but Emperor Yuanchang laughed heartily.

However, even so, Ruan Fu was sure that he did not misread Princess Luoxia's complex emotions when she saw Yu Wuhan, and immediately looked at Yu Wujue without saying anything.
