The girl is not good in this life

Chapter 458 Who Is He?

Zhou Wanning went to the Shu Palace before lunch.

Jiang Wan heard that she came, and knew why she came, and asked someone to take her to the main courtyard.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing simply withdrew, leaving the room for the two sisters-in-law to talk.

A few days ago Zhou Wanning also came to sit occasionally, but her face was not very good-looking, she was full of sorrow, and Jiang Wan persuaded her for a long time.

At that time, she was worried about Jiang Yuanzhan.

Turks are different from Nanyuan. Once a war really breaks out, how can people not worry?

But she couldn't show it in the Duke's mansion, because she was afraid that Jiang Hu and his wife would have some opinion on her, and felt that she was not worthy of being the Jiang family's bride, and only when Jiang Wan came here did she dare to show those emotions on her face.

Jiang Wan also knew that persuasion was useless, but she would still persuade her every time she came, at least to ease her heart for a while, rather than her being depressed all day long, it was not a problem.

But today, Zhou Wanning's complexion is obviously much better.

Jiang Wan laughed too, and beckoned to her: "Did Aye tell you?"

Zhou Wanning nodded and said yes: "I was afraid that my father-in-law coaxed me to ease my heart, so I came to you to ask. Hearing what you said, it can be seen that it is true."

Jiang Wan shook his head helplessly: "Aye is not that kind of person, what do you want to coax you into doing? Could it be that you don't know if the Turkic peace negotiation mission won't come in a few days? It's all gone."

She joked and teased, but Zhou Wanning didn't take it seriously.

It is said that people are refreshed on happy occasions, and now she truly understands it.

"I can finally sleep peacefully. Although your second brother is still not coming back and will still be separated from me for a long time, at least the Turks have sent a peace mission to Beijing. I'm afraid this war will not happen, and I will Don't worry about him."

Zhou Wanning sighed, and sat down on the Arhat court: "To be honest, I didn't think it was so real when I sent him out last time, but this time I sent him out again, I really don't think about food, and I can't sleep well at night.

Later, I thought, mother-in-law has not been easy these years, and I really admire her. "

Jiang Wan glared at her: "Why don't you tell Auntie about this?"

"I'm not stupid!"

Zhou Wanning also gave her a look back: "But before I came, I went to see Aunt Qing Yuan, and told her about these things outside. She said that the Turkic princess might end up in Su Wang's mansion. I thought about it." Go, to be honest, if I were a Turkic princess, I would be a concubine anyway, between King Su and King Shu, I would rather choose King Shu."

As she spoke, she poked Jiang Wan with her fingertips: "Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? Even if she wants to marry, the second elder brother won't marry her."

"But if it's an official..." Zhou Wanning let go of her own affairs, and began to worry about others, "I mean, what if, what if she really fell in love with the King of Shu and insisted on marrying the King of Shu, and then fight again? Now that you are negotiating peace, if you put forward the idea of ​​equal wives, and enter the palace to sit on an equal footing with you, there is no guarantee that the officials will not agree to her for the peace negotiation.

I know that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has deep friendship towards you, but this is a major national event with great ties to it, and it may not be something that the King of Shu himself refuses to accomplish.

Didn't he tell you? "

"said."

Jiang Wan took a deep breath: "Brother Wang said, he came to marry the Turkic princess, and he made it very clear to his father when he was in Funing Hall, in front of Aye, Uncle, and all the adults in the Ministry of Military Rites. The point is to make the Turkic people give up their minds, don't hit the second elder brother's idea, she won't be able to enter the Shu Palace.

If the Turkic princess refuses to be his concubine, it doesn't matter, we have so many good men in Daye, just ask her to pick one, since it is a marriage, we will follow her.

But only the Shu Palace can't do it. "

Zhou Wanning didn't expect that this was what Zhao Yu said, she thought...

She was slightly surprised for a moment: "Didn't the King of Shu report it in front of the officials?"

"Second brother said that he didn't even have time to open his mouth. Brother Wang has already finished replying. There is no need for him to say anything."

Zhou Wanning said loudly: "Since I was a child, I also know that His Royal Highness Su loves his younger brother, and that he has always protected His Royal Highness Shu, but I thought he would be more rational when it comes to such important matters as his family, country and world.

Seeing how calm and relaxed you are, the official agreed to him, right? "

Of course I will.

Now the father is responsive to brother Wang's request.

And there's nothing wrong with such a thing.

The light in Jiang Wan's eyes dimmed a little: "What if you don't agree? Brother Wang has already taken the initiative to take it on. Even if Father refuses to agree, Father has seen the relationship between my second brother and me these years. The Turkic princess is here, if she really enters the Shu Palace, life will not be so easy in the future.

People are not enough to swallow elephants.

Maybe she didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but as time went by, she developed other thoughts, became jealous, and then told the Turkic Khan about her dissatisfaction and grievances, what was she trying to do?

Since it is a peace negotiation, it is natural to consider the long-term, for the future peaceful coexistence of Daye and Turks, and not to provoke disputes because of this foreign princess.

You should know that Turkic wolves have been ambitious for decades, and negotiating a peace now is an expedient measure. In the future, they feel that the time is ripe, and there is no guarantee that they will not attack Daye.

If there must be another explanation, this Turkic princess is the best excuse. "

She took a deep breath, and leaned back on the soft pillow behind her: "Father is a wise king, wise and powerful for half his life, can he still not see this clearly? He wished that this Turkic princess would stay away from our Shu Palace. Woolen cloth."

·
The Turkic peace negotiation mission entered Beijing half a month later, and they were arranged in the Sifang Pavilion.

At the palace banquet, everyone had seen the Turkic princess, and she specially took a Han name, called Zhaorun, and she insisted on adding a Chinese surname to herself, which was Xu Zhaorun.

Jiang Wan didn't think the name was very nice, but it was indeed suitable for that kind of heroic girl.

Xu Zhaorun looked very Turkic in appearance, and could be distinguished from Central Plains women at a glance.

Her biological mother was also a Turkic nobleman, but she was not raised in front of her biological mother since she was a child.

The Turkic Ke Dun died early, and later Xu Zhaorun's father, Khan, married Ke Dun and had a child, but he probably loved Xu Zhaorun so much that he took her to the royal tent and raised her himself.

What Emperor Jinhe meant was that since Xu Zhaorun came, she would stay in Daye in the future and live in Shengjing forever. The clan's wife and noble daughters of the Chinese gentry often meet frequently, so now they ask Jiang Wan and the others to accompany them more, after all they are about the same age.

In fact, no one sincerely welcomes the Turkic peace missions.

Everyone knows that the Turks did not come here to negotiate peace. In the past few decades, the Turks have harassed the Liaodong border, and even in the most rampant years, the people of Youzhou have suffered a lot and suffered a lot.

Counting forward, in the period of Mingzong Renzong, there were constant wars. At that time, Daye’s military strength was not as good as it is now. In fact, some were no match for the Turks. That was the period when the Turks were most rampant.

Daye and the Turks were originally feuds.

To resolve, it is not that simple.

Everyone remembers it in their hearts, so everyone also has hatred in their hearts.

But on the bright side, peace must be maintained.

Xu Zhaorun has a very familiar temperament, and he takes the initiative to ask Jiang Wan and the others to go out every now and then.

She has never been to Central Plains, and she is curious about everything in Shengjing.

And Jiang Wan was also surprised to find that Xu Zhaorun Han speaks well and knows many things about the Central Plains, such as folk customs and etiquette. She may not be proficient in it, but she can speak it all and do it well.

This further proves the ambition of the Turks.

Either the Turkic Khan has long thought that when Xu Zhaorun grows up, he will let her marry Daye.

Either it was ready to invade the Central Plains early in the morning.

But no matter which one it is, it will not make people happy.

On the contrary, Xu Zhaorun didn't seem to know anything about it. One day he drank tea and tomorrow he listened to an opera. He really didn't treat himself as an outsider.

She may not understand all the libretto in the playbook, and she doesn't know much about the stories in the play.

Downstairs on the stage was singing "Fanli Flower Marches to the West", Xu Zhaorun saw the female general appearing on stage, and pulled Jiang Wan to ask questions.

At the end, he said with a smile: "The princess is the daughter of Duke Pei's mansion, the Jiang family. Father Khan told me long ago that the Jiang family in Daye is very powerful, and the girls in your family should also be very powerful. If there are Opportunity, how about I compete with the concubine on horseback riding and archery?"

Jiang Wan just ate tea and smiled softly: "Princess is a Turkic who grew up on horseback. The ability to ride and shoot is innate and innate. If you want to compare with me, isn't it bullying?"

Xu Zhaorun curled his lips: "Why did the princess retreat without fighting?"

Zhou Wanning frowned and wanted to speak, but Jiang Wan just pressed the back of her hand to signal her that it's okay, and then said: "There is a saying in our Central Plains called self-knowledge, I think it is a good thing for people to have self-knowledge, could it be that I can't beat the princess? Do you still want to be brave?
There is still a certain risk in riding and shooting.

I'm married, I have a husband at home, and a son who is less than one year old. There is nothing wrong with being careful.

In case of injury, how bad it is, the princess said, right? "

Her attitude is gentle, and there is nothing wrong with what she said, but Xu Zhaorun is not stupid.

She squinted her eyes to look at Jiang Wan: "Princess seems to have a lot of hostility towards me."

Not asking Jiang Wan, but simply stating a fact.

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhaorun clicked his tongue: "I didn't intend to rob the concubine of your husband and son-in-law. Even if your Jiang family defended your family and defended the country, and your father was stationed in Liaodong for several years, he also fought against us Turks, but now the two When the country negotiates peace, the past should be put aside.

The princess is targeting me like this, she has inexplicable hostility towards me, isn't it the way to treat guests?Do you emperors of the Central Plains know?
I also learned a word from your Central Plains, which is Yang Feng Yin Violation.

Are you talking about the behavior of the princess? "

Eating tea and listening to the opera, naturally, they broke up after a bad fight.

Jiang Wan was restrained, and he didn't really want to satirize Xu Zhaorun when he spoke.

What she said was true.

And since it's a peace negotiation, why go to the battle to compete in riding and shooting?

Xu Zhaorun did it on purpose.

Because she noticed it, she simply took advantage of it, followed Xu Zhaorun's words, argued with her a few words, and pulled Zhou Wanning out the door and went downstairs.

But met Jiang Yuanhui downstairs again.

Jiang Yuanhui seldom came to this kind of place, even to listen to operas, not often.

In the past, it was said that his body was weak, and it was best not to go to places with many people, so as not to be bumped into by others.

Now that he is in better health, and since he investigated Pei Qingyuan's fall from the cliff, he has handled a lot of things, and people around him have gradually discovered that he is also an indomitable gentleman, so there is no need to treat him like a weak child.

But even so, Jiang Wan was still a little surprised: "Why did the third brother come here? Do you want to listen to a play?"

"I'm here to buy two operas. The eldest brother is not at home, and Zhao Ran is also busy these days. My cousin said that he wanted to read operas and scripts, and my mother asked me to come out and buy two for her. I should have gone to the study, but there were no plays in the study. The ones bought in the building are fresh and rare, so I came here."

These theater buildings in Shengjing do sell opera scripts, which is also a way to make money.

After Jiang Yuanhui finished speaking, seeing the hidden anger on her face, he thought for a while: "You and the second sister-in-law came out to listen to the play?"

Jiang Wan immediately said no, and looked back upstairs, and Jiang Yuanhui understood everything.

He frowned for a moment: "Let's go, I'll take you home, I've already sent the boy to buy operas, I've told you what to buy, I don't need it anymore."

Jiang Wan remembered Xu Runze's sudden attack, and called him, "Is Aye at home?"

Jiang Yuanhui said, "Anything to say?"

She nodded and said yes, and Zhou Wanning also agreed: "It's better to talk to father-in-law."

The foreign princess—

Jiang Yuanhui narrowed his eyes: "Okay, then go back to the Duke's mansion first, I'll send someone to the mansion to say something, lest the lord look back and miss you, you should be in a hurry."

Jiang Wan led Zhou Wanning out of the gate of the theater, and Jiang Yuanhui followed behind them.

When he was about to go out, he would turn his head and take a look in the direction of the second floor.

Just when Xu Zhaorun came out of the private room, he was standing in the corridor, half leaning on the railing, and looking downstairs.

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Yuanhui quickly looked away, without even looking away.

It was Xu Zhaorun upstairs who hesitated for a moment and asked the maid beside him, "Who is that? Aren't Jiang Wan and Zhou Wanning married already? That is not the King of Shu, and it doesn't mean that the young general of the Jiang family went back to his ancestral home to visit relatives." Sick, not in the capital?"

In fact, they should have seen each other at the palace banquet, but Xu Zhaorun didn't pay much attention to anyone that day, so he didn't recognize him. He just thought it was the first time she saw Jiang Yuanhui.

The maidservant behind the back naturally saw Jiang Yuanhui's face clearly, and tucked her hands back to her: "That's Mr. Sanlang of Duke Pei's mansion. The princess probably didn't pay attention. I saw him at the palace banquet. He was sitting next to the son of Duke Pei. , is the third brother of Princess Shu."

The third son of Pei Guogong, Jiang Yuanhui, was weak and sickly, vulnerable to a single blow.

This is what Father Khan told her.

But Father Khan didn't say that he was born so beautiful.
