"Walking on the streets of the capital, Ye Luhao, the second prince of Western Liao, always behaved very kindly, asking Jiang Jinghui and Xiao Yeyang a few words from time to time.
The eldest prince of Xiliao had a loyal face and remained silent throughout the whole process.
While Yeluhao attracted the attention of Jiang Jinghui and Xiao Yeyang, the eldest prince Yelu Kangda was quietly observing Daxia Kyoto.
Daxia has been at war with the Tatars in the past few years, and the treasury must have consumed a lot of money, but even so, Kyoto in Daxia is still so prosperous and lively.
Thinking of the destroyed Tatar royal family, Yelu Kangda felt a little heavy.
In the past few years, Xiliao has been in civil strife, resulting in a serious loss of national power. If not for this, when Daxia has just finished fighting the Tatars and cannot start another war, Xiliao's cavalry can go north in large numbers and seize The land of Xiliang.
"It's a pity that today's Xiliao also lacks national strength and cannot support large-scale operations.
Xiliao now needs to recuperate. This time, under the pretext of congratulating the queen mother on her birthday, he came to Daxia in person, just to ask to marry the princess of Daxia and buy a few more years for Xiliao.
While Xiao Yeyang silently listened to the conversation between Yeluhao and Jiang Jinghui, he secretly looked at Yelu Kangda, looking at the calculation flashing in his eyes, and thinking about sending more manpower to monitor the Xiliao people after returning.
?¡
On the other side, Yelu Qianhua, the seventh princess of Western Liao, looked unhappy when she saw that Daxia only sent a few minor officials to accompany her.
"You said it was a country of etiquette. Look at this princess, she doesn't understand any rules at all."
"This princess is also the seventh princess of Xiliao after all. Even if you don't send a princess to receive me, you should send a few princesses and county lords to accompany me."
When wandering around, Yelu Qianhua made no secret of his bad mood, and all the officials accompanying him had huge heads.
When returning to the post office, Yelu Qianhua happened to see Jiang Jinghui and Xiao Yeyang who were sending Yelu Hao and Yelu Kangda back. He walked over and said with a sweet look on his face: "Hey, I order you two to accompany me tomorrow. shop!"
Xiao Yeyang looked at her like she was a fool, and then left without looking back.
Although Jiang Jinghui felt that Yelu Qianhua was ill, he still maintained his demeanor and did not just throw up his sleeves and leave.
Yelu Qianhua didn't expect Xiao Yeyang to treat her like this, and stared blankly at his back as he walked away.
Jiang Jinghui was slightly surprised to see that Yelu Qianhua didn't get angry. He went out to the outskirts of the capital to pick up someone, but the people from Xiliao had been getting along with her for a few days, and they clearly knew how unruly this princess from Xiliao was.
Along the way, whenever someone didn¡¯t go his way, he would whip someone, but now that he was treated so slowly, he could bear it!
Thinking of Xiao Yeyang's appearance and identity, and thinking of his cousin Wanying's depression during this period, Jiang Jinghui's heart moved and he said with a smile: "Princess, don't mind, Mr. Xiao is not like this usually, maybe he is in a hurry to go back and build him up" It¡¯s a new house.¡±
Yelu Qianhua immediately asked: "What new house?"
Jiang Jinghui: "Master Xiao got married in December this year and is now preparing to build a new house."
Yelu Qianhua¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°He¡¯s not married yet?¡±
Jiang Jinghui smiled and nodded, but said nothing else. He greeted Yeluhao and Yelu Kangda and left the post house.
Yelu Kangda watched him leave thoughtfully, and then returned to the room with Yeluhao and Yelu Qianhua.
When no one was around, the three of them put away their disguises.
Ye Luhao¡¯s face lost the kind smile, and his eyes flashed;
Yelu Qianhua no longer acted unruly in front of others and became more stable;
Yelu Kangda, on the other hand, put away his loyal expression and suddenly exuded an aura that made people feel oppressive.
Yelu Kangda sat in the main seat, with Yeluhao and Yelu Qianhua on both sides. It was obvious that he was the leader among the three.
¡°Tell me about what you saw today.¡±
Today I just walked around the capital briefly, but didn't gain much. Yeluhao and Yelu Qianhua both said a few words.
Yelu Kangda was silent for a while: "Although Jiang Jinghui is the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, his ability is far inferior to Xiao Yeyang."
Yeluhao nodded: "Although Xiao Yeyang is the son of a prince, his ability to serve as the commander of the Jinling Guards is entirely due to his own hard work. Jiang Jinghui has never been on the battlefield with a real sword or a real spear."
Yelu Kangda: "We should be more vigilant about this person in future contacts." After saying that, he was silent for a while and looked at Yelu Qianhua.
"Among the princesses of Daxia, it is now appropriate toThe only one who is suitable for marriage is the princess. The emperor may not be willing to accept our request for marriage. If so, then we need you to stay in Daxia. "
Yelu Qianhua¡¯s expression tightened: ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry, I will shoulder my responsibilities.¡±
Yelu Kangda nodded with satisfaction: "If you have the opportunity, you'd better get in touch with the princes of Daxia."
?¡
On the first day of July, after the Xiliao delegation stayed in the capital for a few days, they were summoned again by the emperor.
During this period, Yeluhao made a request that Xiliao wanted to form a good relationship with Daxia between Qin and Jin.
As soon as the news came out, the court suddenly became excited.
The emperor's descendants are quite prosperous, and there are many princes and princesses. But now, the only princess of marriageable age is Princess Lekang, the daughter of the queen.
As soon as Princess Lekang heard the news of the marriage, her face immediately turned pale and she looked at the Queen in panic: "Queen Mother"
The queen¡¯s face looked so good that she hugged her daughter tightly and kept repeating: ¡°Lekang, don¡¯t be afraid, the queen will never let you kiss Xiliao.¡±
After comforting Princess Lekang, the Queen hurried to Cining Palace to find the Queen Mother.
"It's a pity that the Queen Mother did not wait for her to speak, but she took the lead and said: "It is difficult for the Ai family to talk about important matters in the court, so you should go and ask the emperor."
The Queen looked at the Queen Mother blankly, with blurry tears: "Why, does Lekang also have the blood of the Jiang family flowing on his body?"
The Queen Mother did not like the accusation implicit in the Queen's words and said indifferently: "Lekang is the emperor's daughter. It is the emperor who can decide Lekang's life, not the Ai family. What's more, you don't know that the relationship between the emperor and the Ai family is In a real relationship, if Aijia talks about some things, it will have the opposite effect."
With that said, he said he had a headache and went to the inner room to rest with the support of his grandma.
The Queen stubbornly knelt in the Queen Mother's Palace for a long time, until it got dark and the Queen Mother did not come out to see her again. Then she stood up, wiped away her tears, turned around and left the Cining Palace.
"He's gone?"
After the Queen left, the maid immediately went to report it to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother sighed: "This time, the Queen may hate the Ai family to death."
She also didn¡¯t want to see Lekang marry Xiliao, but she knew that if a woman could be exchanged for border stability, the emperor and all officials would be happy to see it.
Now that Daxia has just finished fighting the Tatars, the treasury is empty, and Xiliao intends to make good friends. If she stands up to oppose it and causes instability on the border, then she will be a sinner.
You must know that the previous emperors had three princesses who were married off one after another.
If the queen is to blame, she can only blame Lekang for his poor life. The emperor has several princesses, who made her just catch up?
?¡
When Princess Lekang saw the queen coming out of Cining Palace with a pale face, she understood everything immediately. She didn¡¯t want to get married, so she turned around and ran to Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, we have been at odds with Xiliao for many years. Now that Xiliao is willing to make good friends, we also ask the emperor to agree to the marriage proposal of the eldest prince of Xiliao."
"Yes, Your Majesty, there have been constant small wars in the Xiliang border area in recent years, and the people's lives are difficult. If the border area can be stabilized by the princess's marriage, it will be a blessing for the people of Great Xia."
Outside the palace gate, Lekang listened with a pale face as the ministers inside encouraged his father to agree to the marriage, feeling unspeakable despair in his heart.
Just because she is a princess, she should get married?
Shouldn¡¯t it be a man¡¯s job to defend the country? Why should she bear it?
At this moment, a voice of opposition sounded.
"Uncle Huang, Xiliao doesn't dare to go to war with us now. There is no need for a marriage! Besides, if you push a woman out in exchange for border stability, what else will Daxia's soldiers do?"
Recognizing that the speaker was Xiao Yeyang, Princess Lekang was stunned for a moment. She remembered that when she was a child, she and others bullied him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
