Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 248 Proton Nanjing
Nanli Palace
In the court hall, Emperor Nanli looked gloomy and frowned.His dark eyes were full of anger, and his lips were tightly pursed.

His Highness and ministers all lowered their heads, all of them stiffened and tensed their nerves.Since the news came from the border, the peace contract will be signed for at least three years, and the worst thing is to choose a prince to be the hostage with Hui Dakun.

"Your Majesty, Dakun's request is really deceiving too much. The border is relatively close to Nanli Country, and Dakun's army stationed at the border will not necessarily lose if we fight a protracted war."

Suddenly an angry voice sounded, and a middle-aged man wearing a red brocade court dress came out.This person is Cheng Jin, the general who protects the country of Nanli, and the general who guards the border is his disciple.He naturally pays more attention to border affairs, and hopes that his disciples will win a big victory, even if it takes a little longer.

"General Cheng, that's not what you said. The two countries are fighting at the border. Maybe the longer the time drags on, we will win, but that won't do Nanli any good. The food, grass and official bank that are constantly being transported to the border They are all a lot of money, these are the second, and the most important thing is. If there is no full confidence that Dakun can be annexed, then the hostility between the two countries will inevitably cause turmoil in the Northwest Region."

An old man with gray hair came out from the other side, and glanced at the man in front of him lightly.

"Your Prime Minister is right. One year later, the Four Kingdoms will compete for the ownership of 'Wind Valley'. If we start a war now, the two countries will lose troops and lose both sides. This way, the other two countries will be in vain."

The middle-aged man who stood on the other side of the prime minister also stood up, and it was obvious that he was on the prime minister's side.

The arguments on both sides are very reasonable, and the ministers in the court began to discuss in a low voice.

Emperor Nanli, who was sitting on top of the main hall, frowned more and more tightly.He really underestimated that Prince Han's son, he didn't expect his thoughts to be so meticulous.Guessing that he proposed to sign a peace treaty was just a pretense, but what he really wanted was to cover up the border affairs, and then think of other methods.

Slightly closed his eyes, when Emperor Nanli raised his head, his face had returned to calm and majesty.

"Okay, don't talk about it anymore. The prime minister is right, the Four Kingdoms Competition will be in one year. The most important thing for us now is to prepare to participate in the competition. Let's do it according to Da Kun's request. "

With a deep and majestic voice, there is an aura that does not allow others to defy.

The emperor had already made a decision, and those who were hesitant about which side to stand on immediately agreed one after another.Another burst of flattery, how wise and decisive the emperor is.

"Since the emperor has made such a decision, who is the prince who will be sent to Dakun?"

As soon as the prime minister's words came out, the hall immediately returned to its previous tranquility, and there was still a depressing atmosphere.

The emperor also frowned, he really couldn't choose this person for a while.Although he had quite a few princes, if he sent an unfavored prince, he would be considered disingenuous by the other party.But if he sent his beloved prince away, he would be even more reluctant.

"I have to think about the candidate for the prince, and I will retire today."

After speaking, he stood up from the dragon chair and left with a few eunuchs.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The ministers sent them off in unison, but Emperor Nanli frowned as if he didn't hear half of it.While thinking about it, he left the hall, and soon disappeared from the sight of the ministers.

When the emperor's figure disappeared, the ministers who were kneeling on the ground stood up.Then they left the hall in twos and threes, and they all left after a while.

"Prime Minister, who do you think the emperor will choose to be the proton in Dakun?"

The middle-aged man who walked out of the hall with the prime minister looked a little dignified. This time may be an opportunity.

"No matter who the emperor chooses, he must be the heir who is sent to Dakun this time."

The corner of the prime minister's mouth curled into a sneer, and there was a sinister gleam in his eyes.Don't blame the old man for being cruel, just blame you for being too favored by the emperor.

The middle-aged man trembled, lowered his head slightly and echoed in a low voice: "The prime minister is right, the hostage to go to Dakun this time must be him."

The prime minister returned to his usual appearance, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth: "Yeah, send a message to the man in the palace. Let her find a way to make him make some mistakes to anger the emperor."

Maybe the emperor wouldn't listen too much to what their ministers said, but there was too much wind blowing around the pillow.Coupled with being offended, the emperor will naturally choose the person who is most beneficial to him.

"Yes, I understand."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he bowed to the prime minister, turned around and left in opposite directions.

In a relatively remote and quiet hall in Nanli Kingdom's harem, there was a man in a light blue robe embroidered with golden dark flowers.His black silk was scattered casually over his shoulders, and his delicate facial features and cute baby face made it impossible to tell his age.

Holding a twig in his slender hand, he teased the canary in the solid gold cage hanging in front of him.Eyes like obsidian are dazzling, clear without a trace of impurities.

"Master, Dakun asked the emperor to pick out a prince as a hostage to go back with the army."

Behind the man stood a handsome and elegant man in Tsing Yi, his deep eyes flashed with wisdom.His calm temper made him look even more charming.

"Oh? Protons? That seems like a good idea."

The man with the baby face curved his eyebrows and revealed a lovely smile.The obsidian-like eyes shone with dazzling light, as if he was very interested in what the man said.

"Yes, and it seems that Da Kun said that the proton will be treated like a prince."

The corners of the man's mouth curled up in a gentle arc, and his slender fingers rubbed against his perfectly lined jaw.Jianmei twitched slightly: "Master, do you want to play with Dakun?"

The baby-faced man turned around slowly, and looked at the man in Tsing Yi with a smile.

"The one who really knows me is Jin Yan, sometimes I wonder if you are the roundworm in my stomach." Wei Wei pouted, her deep voice seemed to be coquettish and complaining.

The corner of the man's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned his head to the side: "Master, if you want to go to Dakun properly, just put away your current expression and don't act like a baby with me."

The baby-faced man blinked his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "Ah Yan, you are really boring."

The man in Tsing Yi couldn't help but rolled his eyes, a good prince insisted on making people look so childish and ignorant.

Throwing the branch in his hand aside, he reached out and opened the door of the pure gold birdcage.Flapping its wings, the beautiful canary flew out of the cage.It landed on the outstretched hand of the baby-faced man, and rubbed his palm affectionately.

"Leave quickly, don't be caught and locked in this beautiful cage again."

Canary seemed to understand what she said, and flew away with fluttering wings.The obsidian-like eyes quietly stared at the Canary that was getting further and further away, and did not look away until he could no longer see him.

"That's your favorite canary, why are you willing to let him go?"

The man in Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows, and looked at the master in front of him with a little surprise.This canary was brought in by the master at a high price, and it is really precious on weekdays.

"I let it go because I cherish it. What the canary wants is freedom and doesn't like being kept in captivity. Maybe it's safer to keep it in a cage, but it doesn't feel happy."

The baby-faced man raised his head slightly and looked at the clear sky at a 45-degree angle, as if thinking of something.A strange light flashed across his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised a few degrees.

Just when the man in Tsing Yi was about to speak, the little eunuch guarding outside the hall hurried in.

"Your Highness Fifth Prince, Your Majesty invites you to the Imperial Study Room."

Nan Jing, the fifth prince of Nanli Kingdom, showed a smile on his cute doll face, and flicked the dust that didn't exist on the hem of the jersey.

"Ah Yan, come with me to the imperial study."

The corner of Jin Yan's mouth twitched slightly, he could only sigh helplessly for such an unreliable master.

No one knew what the fifth prince, Nan Jing, was sent to the imperial study by the emperor that day, and what the fifth prince, who was most loved by the emperor, did to anger Longyan.The next day the emperor issued an order to send the fifth prince as a hostage to Dakun's military camp.

Since then, the two countries have signed a three-year peace treaty, and the two countries shall not fight for any reason within three years.If there is a violation, ten cities must be compensated to the opponent.

Dakun
Shen Wanyu sat in the box on the second floor of Yu Jifang, looking at the bustling crowd on the street below.Leaning on her chin with one hand, she sighed the No. 90 times today.

"Miss, is there something bothering you? I see you have been sighing."

Lan Jingchu put all the ledgers that Shen Wanyu had read just now into a box, and looked worriedly at her who was wearing a long crimson dress beside the bed.

"When I came out of the palace today, the queen mother said that Nanli Kingdom would send their emperor's favorite fifth prince to Dakun as a proton. You said that since the fifth prince is the emperor's favorite prince, why would he be willing to send him here? ? Although Dakun promised to give him the treatment he deserves as a prince, in the end he is still living under the fence."

Shen Wanyu really didn't understand the thinking of this ancient man, so what if he sent a proton over?

Lan Jingchu was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, she had also heard of the Fifth Prince of Nanli Country.There has been no mother and concubine since he made a sound, but the emperor dotes on him exceptionally.And his mother and concubine have always been a taboo in the Nanli Palace, and no one is allowed to mention it.

"Miss, if you meet the Fifth Prince of Nanli Country in the future, try to stay away from him as much as possible."

Shen Wanyu was taken aback when she heard Lan Jingchu's words, then raised her eyebrows and looked at her.Does Aunt Lan know some secret?
