Chapter 260 No arrogance but arrogance (three more)
Rong Xuan appeared next to her, hugged her shoulders, and pressed hard on her chest.

Nalan Jing felt like a fire in her cold heart, driving her all the time, allowing her to recover from the nightmares of the past.

Everyone knows that being born in the royal family is the pride of heaven, but who knows the desolation and loneliness it feels like.

In order to get rid of this position, Gu Changping even gave up his favorite relatives.

He has no ambitions, and he is really tired of the flattery of the royal family and the court, and he is too cold at the top.

She felt sorry for him, and also for her former self.

Rong Xuan let go of her slowly, took her hand, and walked on the long palace corridor.

At this moment, Nalanjing was suddenly thankful that he didn't force him to ask.

Don't ask her why she is crying.

He just stood by her side silently, using his body temperature to make her feel the beauty of the world at this moment, which is no longer the loneliness in the deep palace and the withered bones.



The marriage between Daliang and Nanchu was finally finalized after being dragged by various forces.

Emperor Tianshun issued an edict to marry the crown prince and the third princess of Daliang. Unlike Princess Zhaohua who went to Dayan to get married, the third princess of Daliang was in Southern Chu, and his elder brother, Prince Sun, took the place of Emperor Daliang. The two chose a good day to get married.

As soon as the imperial decree was issued, it was immediately opposed by the officials.

Among them, the Liu family is the worst.

Liu He is not a fool who has been an official in the court for many years. Once the crown prince marries the third princess of Daliang, the position of crown prince will be in jeopardy.

What happened in the palace has been blocked, the queen is seriously ill, and the prince is unwilling to see him.

Liu He felt uneasy.



post house.

The eldest grandson Wuyun took the three princesses with him, and the ninth prince received the imperial edict.

Watching Emperor Tianshun's attendants leave, the three brothers and sisters gradually showed expressions on their faces.

The eldest grandson of the Ninth Prince curled his lips in disdain: "A mere concubine of Southern Chu also wronged me, Princess Daliang."

Changsun Qingzi looked at Changsun Wuyun, but said nothing.

She did not have a deep relationship with the crown prince's eldest grandson Wuyun, and the ninth prince's eldest grandson Suilian. It was probably because she came to Southern Chu and had a consistent friendship with the outside world that the eldest grandson Suilian would have such an accent.

The eldest grandson Suilian talked for a long time, but no one answered him, so he gave eldest grandson Qingzi a displeased look: "Third sister, that prince is so useless, do you really want to marry?"

Changsun Qingzi lowered her head and said, "I will obey His Highness."

Your Highness is the Highness of everyone in Daliang Kingdom, not your elder brother.

Eldest Sun Qingzi thinks that she is only worthy of calling him Your Highness.

Changsun Wuyun's thoughtful look faded back to his senses, and he glanced at Changsun Suilian: "Third sister has more important things to do while staying in Nanchu."

The eldest Sun Qingzi is the Princess of Daliang, and the princess's marriage is a state matter, and state affairs naturally cannot be determined by her willingness or unwillingness.

The eldest grandson Suilian naturally understands, but he is used to burying Southern Chu, Shangguo has a deep sense of superiority over small countries, even though Gu Changping is the prince of Southern Chu, he is only the ninth prince of Liang.

The eldest grandson Suilian restrained his temper and shrugged his shoulders: "Understood, Brother Huang just likes this brat who is easy to control, and the third sister can handle things more easily."

Changsun Wuyun couldn't deny it and asked him to go back first.

Changsun Suilian knew that he had something to say to Changsun Qingzi, so he withdrew tactfully.

Changsun Qingzi took a step forward and bowed her head respectfully.

She is the most unfavored princess in Daliang. Although she is the mascot of the two countries, it is her chance to make peace with Nanchu.

The eldest grandson Wuyun waved his hand, and an old mother and four court ladies came out from the dark.

The eldest grandson Wuyun said: "These are people carefully selected by the emperor for you. If you have anything to do, tell them to do it. They know how to help you."

As for what the assistant eldest Sun Qingzi does, they all know it well.

The elder Sun Qingzi knelt on the ground to thank the Lord for his kindness.

Changsun Wuyun watched them retreat before going to General Sima Nan's room.

The general seemed to know that he would come, and had already set up the chessboard, waiting for him to enter the game.

The two held their chess pieces, and neither of them spoke.

Halfway through the game, Sima Nan dropped a sunspot, and the winner was already determined. He raised his head and said, "Your Highness, you have missed your mark."

Changsun Wuyun frowned, not because he lost to Sima Nan, but because of this sentence.

Sima Nan is the most powerful military general in Daliang, and the most trusted loyal minister of the Daliang royal family. He is over sixty years old, but he still holds the military power in his hands, which shows his wisdom and bravery.

Losing to him, Changsun Wuyun was convinced.

Changsun Wuyun looked at him thoughtfully: "The general thinks that Gu Changping is not the most suitable candidate?"

Sima Nan looked out the window, looked at the high mountains in the distance and said: "The Prince of Southern Chu is mediocre and has no arrogance." He commented.

The eldest grandson Wuyun listened attentively.

Sima Nan no longer looked at him with clear eyes, and said: "It's just that this person has arrogance. Your Highness knows that the most difficult thing to break in this world is arrogance."

Without arrogance, but with arrogance... The eldest grandson Wuyun looked at Sima Nan respectfully, and he knew that there was more to come.

Sima Nan sat cross-legged, put his palms on his knees, and looked at him: "Your Highness, do you think you are a proud person?"

Changsun Wuyun looked at him puzzled, sure that Sima Nan was waiting for his response, he pointed to his heart, and said: "Arrogance, loneliness has always been there."

Sima Nan shook his head and said, "Arrogance and ambition have never been the same. Your Highness has ambition."

With ambition, there is no arrogance.

To be proud is not to bow down for power.

Ambition is always bending to power.

There is a big difference.

Changsun Wuyun didn't know if he understood the meaning, so he didn't continue to ask.

Sima Nan has his opinion, and he also has his own plan.

Sima Nan is a great general, he is a prince, he is a minister, he is a monarch, and there are many differences between a monarch and a minister.

In the next few games of chess, Changsun Wuyun killed all sides and won four games in a row.

When getting up, Changsun Wuyun said indifferently: "The general knows countless people, and I also believe in the general's vision. Even though Gu Changping has a proud body, in the court, the royal family, and on the battlefield, arrogance can't block the sword, only ambition can." Invincible, in the vortex of power, once you lose your ambition, you will not be far from being out."

So he will let Changsun Qingzi replace Gu Changping who is out.

Southern Chu is a small country, and sooner or later it will be annexed, whether it is the Great Yan or the Great Liang, who will win, and each will rely on his own means.

Sima Nan looked at the departing grandson Wuyun, he didn't listen to his last sentence.

Proud to win the hearts of the people.

Ambition to power.

People's hearts are power.

Pride is the right way, ambition is just a shortcut.



When people came from the palace, Nalan Jing was having dinner with Rong Xuan.

Since Daliang and Nanchu's marriage was confirmed, apart from the fierce opposition at the beginning, the court gradually accepted the facts, and now it is unprecedentedly calm.

Sometimes turbulence is not necessarily a bad thing, because there are opportunities.

Sometimes calm may not be a good thing, because there is a greater possibility of a bigger storm brewing under the calm.

Dayan and Daliang don't act as demons, Rong Xuan has a lot of time, he eats with Nalan Jing at the house every day, studies with his younger brothers, and plays Gu worms with Gu Yirong.
