Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 646 Spoiled (1)
Only then did Han Xiangxiang wake up: "Well, what's the point of this? What can I do."

There was a little contempt in Lu Qi'er's eyes, but she smiled and said close to her ear: "Hey, Miss Han is really a fairy girl who does not touch the dust, she is too simple... I heard that the third master seems to be returning home this evening. If you want to meet him at this time, you should be able to see him by guarding outside."

"When did he see me? Every time I can't avoid it." Han Xiangxiang had a bitter face.

"It's different this time. The third master is just upset. The chances are always bigger than before."

Han Xiangxiang struggled for a while, and finally fell silent.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

On the sick bed, Emperor Ning Xi leaned on the brocade pillow.

Outside the curtain, King Qin, King Jingyang, and Yu Wenping sat down one after the other, reporting to the Son of Heaven inside the curtain about their recent progress.

Emperor Ning Xi was recuperating in the deep pavilion and rarely saw people in person, but every once in a while, he would still call a few people to dictate the recent important military affairs.

Today, Yu Wenping had just finished reading a few memorials when he heard a voice from inside the curtain: "You guys can take care of these trivial matters, so I can rest assured. Now I am only concerned about the northern issue, and I still can't let it go. The matter of the mutual market, What's the matter?"

King Jingyang responded: "If you go back to the emperor, after Qin Wang's proposal, the minister and Yu Xiang jointly analyzed and negotiated, I am afraid that this time the mutual market is deliberately tricked and provoked by Meng Nu. Even if it is a fight, this time is not a good opportunity. .”

After pondering, Emperor Ning Xi nodded: "It is better to wait for the opportunity to act than to act impulsively. Even if you want to fight, you can't let them take the initiative. Then don't act rashly this time. However, the exchange market is invaded by slaves. I declare weakness."

Xiahou Shiting said: "The Mengnu court has sent people to King Yisi's camp to apologize with generous gifts."

Yu Wenping glanced at him, and said in a calm tone, "Just apologizing with a gift, can it be worth the shame of being burned and looted in the exchange market. Although King Yisi is the leader of the border town, could he represent the imperial court? Go privately to King Yisi to make an apology, and just treat it as the end of the matter? People from other countries don’t know, so they think we are easy to bully!”

Emperor Ning Xi also frowned: "What Yu Xiang said is true, third child, Meng Nu must give a clear explanation. You haven't done your job yet, so don't let it go easily."

King Jingyang couldn't help but feel suspenseful, and looked at King Qin.

Xiahou Shiting glanced at Yu Wenping, and clasped his hands: "If you just ask King Yisi to make amends, your subjects will naturally not follow the Mengnu court."

Yu Wenping and King Jingyang cast their eyes on him, and Emperor Ning Xi also braced himself: "What have you done?"

"My son was reckless, and I didn't inform Yu Xiang and King Jingyang in advance," Xiahou Shiting lifted his robe and stood up, "A few days ago, I sent people to Jiangbei in the starry night, so that King Yisi would convey his intentions to the Mengnu court. Being burned and killed is a matter of national humiliation. It is imperative that the Mengnu court send dignitaries to Yejing to apologize in person. The Mongolian court has also agreed. A few days later, they sent someone to King Yisi to reply. Yunhui personally brought gifts to Yejing to plead guilty to this matter, and it is time to leave now. My son is going to wait for He Lianyun and his party to enter the customs before reporting to the father. Since we have already talked about it today, I will report it to the father first. Listen."

King Jingyang Yixi: "This is really great!"

Emperor Ning Xi was also happy with his dragon heart. Unexpectedly, the third child would have settled it long ago, but he was puzzled: "How can Meng Nu be so easy-going and agree with you? How did you negotiate with them?"

Xiahou Shiting's eyes did not change: "Just tell Mengnu, if you refuse, the trade between Daxuan and the small countries affiliated to Mengnu will be stopped, and the trade officials and businessmen in the north will let the news out. After a few days, it will be enough for those small countries The monarch and head of state went to the Mengnu court to protest, but the Mengnu court couldn't stand the momentum of the countries' oppression, so they agreed."

Many of the small countries affiliated to the Mongolian slave border are doing business in line with Daxuan, such as beef and mutton, dairy products, blankets, etc., most of which flow into the Central Plains in exchange for silver and supplies. Trade with the Han people accounts for a large part of the income of the people in the country. , once it is cut off, for some countries, it will be a catastrophe and cannot be accepted.

Although these small affiliated countries are inconspicuous, they still have some deterrent force when they go to Mengnu together to stop the noise.

"King Qin has a plan." King Jingyang laughed.Yu Wenping's face darkened slightly, and he didn't say anything.

A few people discussed what to do when Prince Mengnu arrived, the sun was almost setting in the west, and Emperor Ningxi coughed again.

The three of them didn't stay any longer, they resigned and went down first.

Xiahou Shiting had just left the gate of the palace when he saw the Helian family not far away, accompanied by Zhang Dehai, who had been waiting for a long time.

He walked over, and Helianshi barely pulled himself together, and greeted the emperor's son a few words.

The mother and son walked side by side, Helianshi was absent-minded all the way, approaching the palace gate, Fang raised his head to look at the emperor's son, probing: "I heard that Mengnu wants to send someone to Yejing?"

Although she had taken root in Daxuan as early as possible, her mother and concubine could not escape her identity as a Northerner.

Xiahou Shiting didn't care too much about Helian's sensitivity, and replied directly: "Yes."

Helianshi heard the news from the emperor's mouth, her eyes moved, but her tone was more relaxed than before, and she asked as she walked, "Oh? Who's here?"

Xiahou Shiting glanced at his mother-in-law: "The crown prince in the north, He Lianyun."

Speaking of He Lianyun, he and the Helian family are half-brothers and sisters, and there are some differences between Mengnu and Daxuan Han people.

The system of monogamy and multiple concubines is widely announced. People of different status and status have a certain limit on the number of concubines. The higher the level, the stricter the regulations. For example, the four concubines and nine concubines of the Tian family have a fixed position.

But Mengnu is a system of polygamy and multiple concubines, aiming at the prosperity of the family and the prosperity of the people, there is no limit to the number of concubines. Between the princes and princesses of the ages, not to mention the relationship between brothers and sisters, some of them never even see each other once in their entire lives.

Helian Yungui is the crown prince, born and raised by the empress.

Although Helian Yuyan is the daughter of the monarch and has the title of princess, she was born to a concubine. She is completely different from the prince, and they cannot be matched at all. However, after being favored by Emperor Ningxi, the Helian family was Contributed by He Lianyun on his own initiative.

When He Lian heard that it was He Lianyun who came in person, the embroidered handkerchief was tightened, and it took a while before he hummed.

Seeing her, Xiahou Shiting seemed uneasy, and said: "The imperial court and the north seem to be at war, but if they want to fight, they won't be able to fight for a while, and my concubine doesn't need to worry. Even if there is a war one day, my concubine is Daxuan concubine Concubine, I have long regarded Daxuan as my hometown, and I follow the rules on weekdays, so I will not be implicated."

An inexplicable look flickered in Helian's eyes, but disappeared in a blink of an eye, nodded, and used a smile to cover up his uneasiness: "My wife knows." After a pause, he changed the subject, "It's you, the recent affairs of the court are so uneasy. Too many, but you have to pay attention to your body, you are going to accept a concubine soon."
