If you can't come up with the betrothal gift, you can't publicize it, and you can't tell the person you like. This is a matter of a man's face. Even if Xie Jue is smart and decisive, he doesn't want to be known, so Xie Jue secretly prepares the betrothal gift.But it was also difficult for him to prepare a betrothal gift. It was too expensive for him to prepare. He couldn't ask the second king for money. The second king was well informed under the guidance of the princess, so he used the excuse of Xie Jue to reward him for his meritorious service. He has a lot of gold and silver, and it should be enough to use this money to prepare betrothal gifts. In addition, Xie Jue is running a business with Du Fang and others outside, so money is not a problem. The palace will bear the responsibility for the wedding preparations, and the princess does not want her sister. Feeling half aggrieved.

The second king laughed at him for paying too much attention to etiquette. Xie Jue replied seriously, "I don't want to wrong him."

"That girl can't wait to marry you. She doesn't feel aggrieved at all."

Having said that, Xie Jue still needs to make good preparations, but spring is about to begin. The Northern Barbarian King has appointed two kings to go to the battlefield with him. The two kings also need to make military exploits on the battlefield. Even if the Northern Barbarian King does not want him to accompany him, he Also go along.The eldest prince's leg bones have not yet been completely healed, so this is the best opportunity for the two kings to make meritorious deeds. Dugu Jing also fights with the Northern Barbarian King. Although Xie Jue and Lan Ningzhen's marriage has been decided, they still have to wait for the two kings to return from the battlefield.

So he had a long time to prepare for the wedding, and after the second king went to the battlefield, the real crisis in the second prince's palace was about to come. Therefore, Xie Jue had to make complete preparations, not only to ensure that the second king returned safely from the battlefield, but also to To ensure that the power of the Second Prince's Palace is not eroded by the eldest prince during this period, the only person who can help him, besides the princess, is the Lan family.

With Lan Ningzhen's relationship, Xie Jue is no longer an ordinary counselor, it is easier to do things, and his status is higher than the counselors in the mansion.In addition to visiting Lan Ningzhen in the past few days, he and the second king have been locked in the room with the counselor to discuss the summer affairs. The eldest prince will definitely snatch back the baggage transportation that the second king has just received. If he wants to find a way to keep it, Lan Ningzhen is indispensable. The general mediates.

But how to do it without looking conspicuous will test the counselors in the mansion.

In mid-March, the army of the Northern Man King set off and crossed the Shaling Tianshan Mountains to rush to the front line. The two kings and Dugu Jing also went to the front line with them.

Dugu Jing came to see Lan Ningzhen once after being punished that day. Unfortunately, Lan Ningzhen did not see him. Dugu Jing was also a strong-minded young man and did not bother Lan Ningzhen anymore, nor did he come to trouble Xie Jue. .Xie Jue had a peaceful life, but he didn't expect that after the army left for the battlefield, Xie Jue would take over many things in the house. The six kings sent people to find him, hoping that he could come to the house to talk.

Xie Jue had this intention and expected it. After talking to the princess, he went to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to keep the appointment.

In mid-March, the winter snow in Fox City has melted. Spring is blooming everywhere in Fox City. Teenagers are already playing in the streets. Various shops are opening one after another and it is very lively. This should be the busiest season in Fox City. The beginning of spring every year is always exciting. After a winter outing, even he feels that being locked up at home for several months in winter is particularly boring.

Xie Jue was quite surprised when the six kings came to greet him personally. When he served tea and water in the mansion, he had never seen the six kings treat anyone so politely except for his elder brothers. He looked flattered.

Although it was the beginning of spring, it was still very cold in Fox City. The six kings were wrapped in thick fur robes and coughed slightly. Xie Jue quickly said, "Your Majesty is not feeling well, just wait in the study. If the wind catches the cold, then It's not mine anymore." The Sixth King waved his hands repeatedly, "Helian is serious, this is an old problem, it will happen for a while in winter and spring, it's okay, Helian hasn't been to the palace for a long time, come on, come on, please come inside .”

Xie Jue exchanged some polite words with him and followed him to the study. The servant who used to serve him in the study was still waiting outside the study. When he saw Xie Jue, his eyes paused slightly and he lowered his head hastily.

The two people who used to serve together in the study are now in completely different situations. It is inevitable that there will be a gap in their hearts, some envy, and some jealousy. Why do they not have such fate and intelligence?

Xie Jue is also very familiar with Liu Wang's study. He has cleaned here and entered it countless times.When he came in, he smelled a strong aroma of medicine. This was the medicine that the Six Kings had been taking all year round, and there was also a hint of medicinal wine for bruises. Xie Jue had visited Lan Ningzhen several times and recognized the smell. He remained calm. He looked behind the screen.

There is a very exquisite screen at the east end of the study, and behind the screen there is a small table. It is the place where the Six Kings took a nap when they were tired from dealing with official duties. Many important letters from the Six Kings are also placed on the bookshelf behind the screen. When he was waiting in the study, Not allowed behind the screen.

"Helian, sit down!" The six kings offered a seat, and Xie Jue was not polite. He sat on his left hand side, and soon someone came to serve tea. The Northern Barbarians are good at wine, but not good at tea, but the six kings are weak. It is rare to drink less alcohol and use tea to entertain guests, which is exactly what Xie Jue wants.

The attendant served the tea and walked away in small steps. Xie Jue drank the tea and got straight to the point, "The six kings came to me for some errand. If Helian can handle it, I will definitely work for you."

"Helian is now the second brother's guest. I don't dare to bother you with anything. I invite you to come over today to discuss the frontline supplies." The Sixth King's brows were gentle and he smiled like a scholar. Perhaps it was because of this. Due to his weak body, he does not seem as oppressed as his brothers, "Second brother will leave all the affairs of the house to you before he leaves. The military rations have always been supervised by the eldest brother, but this year the weapons belong to the second brother. This matter I will discuss it with you in advance and then summarize it and report it to my brother."

"The army has just set off, so there is no need to be in such a hurry for summer ordnance, right?" Xie Jue was confused. The Northern Barbarians had a great advantage in the field of ordnance, because they had red sand mines, which were the core of the Northern Barbarians' ordnance. The two kings had been firmly He has control in his hands. He once had part of it taken away by the king, but under Xie Jue's planning, he can completely control it. Xie Jue is also very jealous of the red sand mines in the Northern Barbarians. He has been to the mines in person and wishes he had the power of nine cows and two tigers. Transport the red sand mine to Ningzhou.

If Xie Jue is jealous of the Northern Barbarians, it's not that the Northern Barbarians have produced generations of talented generals, but that this red sand mine is unique to the Northern Barbarians and deeply loved by nature.

"Helian doesn't know anything. My second brother was in Fox City for the whole last year. He was fully responsible for the baggage. I didn't need to worry about everything from military rations to ordnance. This year he went to the battlefield. The military rations and ordnance were supervised separately, making overall planning difficult. I can only ask and prepare in advance to avoid mistakes. If Helian feels embarrassed, or feels that the baggage is a big deal, he can just leave it to the great king brother, so that I don’t have to call you over for discussion from time to time."
