Chapter 949 In his eyes, is Jiang Shan more important than you?

There were footsteps in the veranda.

Su Jiu subconsciously fell on the soft couch, and pulled the blanket to cover himself.

The sound of unlocking the lock sounded, and the fan was pushed away with a "squeak", she quietly opened her eyes, and the person who came came in a stern and tall silhouette, it was Yan Zhen.

Outside the bead curtain, Yan Zhen caught sight of the girl's fluttering eyelashes.

He stepped into the bedroom pretending not to notice, put the tray in his hand on the small Buddha table, and sat down on the soft couch again.

He lights the candle.

The room was brightened up, the girl was sleeping with her clothes on, the flames danced on her fair and pretty face, the ends of her eyes were smudged pink and crimson, and the water between the eyelashes could be vaguely seen.

Her lips were as gorgeous as cherries, and he probably couldn't get enough of her in his life.

Su Jiu could sense the man's gentle gaze.

Being stared at like this is a very tormenting thing. She was planning how to "wake up" inadvertently, but her already hungry stomach let out a loud cry.

In the empty and quiet dormitory, the two chirping sounds were very clear.

Su Jiu hurriedly covered his stomach, blushing deeply.

Yan Zhen withdrew his gaze, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

He pretended not to hear the embarrassing voice, and said softly: "You Central Plains are very particular about the first day of the new year. I ordered someone to make some dumplings. There are all kinds of fillings. You can try it."

Two large plates of dumplings are served on a red-lacquered tray, along with several bowls of different sauces.

Su Jiu didn't greet him politely, sitting cross-legged on the couch, picked up the chopsticks and stuffed one into his mouth seriously.

She hadn't eaten for a whole day and night, and she was so hungry that she didn't pay much attention to the taste of the dumplings, and quickly ate half of the plate.

After she was full, she looked up at Yan Zhen, who was watching her calmly.

She said softly, "Do you want to try it?"

"I have already eaten."

"Oh……"

Su Jiu picked up another dumpling, and heard Yan Zhen say indifferently: "I have discussed with Pei Qingcheng, and it is absolutely impossible for Southern Border to surrender to Dayong. Xiaojiu, you are the Empress of Southern Border, and the two countries are fighting each other. For the Lord, you should not get close to Xiao Tingchen, let alone like him. Otherwise, you will betray this land."

Su Jiu originally wanted to eat some more, but when he heard what he said, he lost his appetite.

She had thought about this issue when she was by Xiao Tingchen's side. She thought that she would not mention it to others unless she mentioned it. She liked that man with an evasive mentality, but she didn't know that this issue would still be discussed on the stage in the end.

She is the Empress of Southern Border, the rightful owner of this land.

If she leads southern Xinjiang to surrender, then she will be tantamount to betraying her ancestors and her mother country.

She didn't want to bear such a heavy charge, so she handed over the decision of whether to surrender to ten princes.

But now Yan Zhen gave her the answer is no.

The girl slowly put down the chopsticks.

A wordless pain spread deep in her heart. She covered her cheeks. Although her voice was still calm, it was already engraved with strong sadness and sorrow:

"Yan Zhen, you could have been enthroned as emperor, but you put me in that position. Apart from liking me, there is another reason is Xiao Tingchen, right? You know my past with him, you are afraid that I will fall in love with him again , so you asked me to be the king of southern Xinjiang... This position seems to be supreme and powerful, but in fact the emperor's crown is the heaviest shackle in the world... Yuguo and family, I lost my relationship with Xiao Tingchen Qualifications together."

She was too stupid to realize Yan Zhen's intentions at this time.

Candlelight jumps.

Snow fell outside the flower window, and the thin and rustling snow shadows fell on the Korean paper, which has a kind of melancholy beauty.

Yan Zhenning stared at Su Jiu's painful little face, "Yes, I did have such an idea. Xiao Jiu, I climbed up from the bottom of the palace step by step. I don't understand feelings, but I understand how to play with power. If I If I can't control your heart, then I can restrain your feelings. Because I know that there is no other woman in the world who is more rational and trustworthy than you. As long as Nanjiang does not surrender, then you, as the empress of Nanjiang , there is no reason to be close to Xiao Tingchen. Xiaojiu, you and him will never be together."

The man's words are like Ling Chi.

Su Jiu said in a deep voice, "Unless Xiao Tingchen gives up attacking southern Xinjiang."

As long as Xiao Tingchen gave up attacking Nanjiang and formed an alliance with Nanjiang, then he could justifiably ask her to marry her, the common people would have no objection, the whole world would have no objection, and even Qing Shi would praise this marriage instead of scolding her as a beauty.

Yan Zhen picked up Su Jiu's chopsticks.

He took a dumpling and put it in his mouth, "Xiaojiu thinks, will he give up this country after he has reached this point?"

Xiao Tingchen's ambition is well known in the world.

Su Jiu was silent.

Yan Zhen put down his chopsticks, "Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What are you gambling?"

"In Xiao Tingchen's eyes, the country is more important than you."

……

The fifteenth day of the first month.

At dusk, the streets of Jingcheng are already very lively, with all kinds of lanterns roaming around, gifted scholars and beautiful ladies walking among them, and occasionally children running around in groups.

The moat is sparkling, the boats are constantly coming and going, and the sound of the orchestra has a cultural atmosphere of the Central Plains.

Su Jiu sat in front of the makeup mirror and let the maids in the palace dress her up.

She agreed to the bet with Yan Zhen.

Originally Xiao Tingchen sent Xiao Weihua to attack Jingcheng, but she personally wrote a letter to Xiao Tingchen, inviting him to come to the city for an interview after nightfall on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Su Ran is in his hands, so he doesn't have to worry about an ambush in southern Xinjiang, and Yan Zhen has repeatedly promised that it is just a simple bet and will never do the same thing as the Hongmen Banquet last time.

Various documents were posted, and Nanjiang told the world that the emperor of Dayong would personally visit Jingzhou on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to propose marriage to the empress of Nanjiang.

This was also proposed by Yan Zhen.

"If he really proposes marriage to you and really doesn't attack Southern Border anymore, then I respect him as a man who values ​​love and righteousness. I am willing to give up the position of emperor and fulfill Xiaojiu and him. But if he dare not ask you Propose marriage, even threaten Xiao Jiu with Ran Ran, then you must drink this Peach Blossom Gu to completely cool down your love for him."

The man's bet surfaced in his ears.

Su Jiu picked up a pearl hairpin and slowly put it on the bun.

The beauty in the mirror is already at the age of fresh youth.

The distant mountain eyebrows that have been painted with Qingdai are like Qinshui, and the deer's eyes are more tender and graceful.

The carmine red skirt with a stand-up collar was embroidered with dragon and phoenix golden patterns. It was a color that could easily look vulgar and gaudy, but it was worn by the girl with a sense of grace and elegance.

Her red lips parted slightly, "Is the person here?"

"Return to Your Majesty, there is no news from the front yard, and it must still be on the way."

Su Jiu nodded slightly.

She stared at the rhombic mirror, and clearly saw a little joy in her eyes.

It looks like a fish jumping out of the water for the first time, reflecting the golden light in the sunlight.

She has already made up her mind that as long as Xiao Tingchen proposes marriage to her, even if he doesn't bring a dowry and a matchmaker, she is willing to marry him!
