Chapter 282 The Story of Marriage with the Princess
"The matter of getting married is also for my Nanxi tribe. It just so happens that the position of queen is vacant. If they ask for their first-line princess, even if they send troops to the court in the future, they will be afraid." The king said earnestly, "Although Louguan was taken by you It happened once, but next time it won't be so easy, they will be more cautious and always have a backup."
"Since I can agree, it means that this princess is not as good as Jiangshan Sheji, and will not be of much use." Shen Chun supported the handle of the knife and said, "I have already asked for something and retired. If I ask for it now, outsiders will only hear about it." I feel that my Nanxi people have no credibility and courtesy, and the Shang Dynasty can use this to make a big fuss about commerce. I know whether my father is trying to coerce me or is lustful."
The king clenched his fists: "Mulun, what you said is serious. I'm just a woman, and I'm not so stupid. I have already informed Shang Chao about this, and I can't go back on my word."
Shen Chun looked at him, and smiled after a while: "It seems that we can't reach an agreement, so let Shang Chao make the preparations first."
Now that the grassland is covered by heavy snow, people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in. Even if they want to see off their relatives, it will take until the beginning of spring next year, and there is plenty of time for him to take care of things here.
Without the king, the princess would naturally not have to marry, thinking about it, Shang Chao himself was also very happy.
"What do you mean?" The king stood up and asked when Shen Chun turned around, feeling a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
Shen Chun didn't give him an answer.
The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and the third prince went hunting and died under the avalanche.
When the news spread to the king's tent, the king fell down on the bedside and muttered to himself, "He has started to do something."
It turned out that he was not giving up, but was waiting for an opportunity. Neither his son nor himself could run away.
……
"What's the meaning of father's words?" Qi Yubai knelt on the ground, looking at the noble emperor, the majestic queen, and Qi Siqi who raised his chin high, his heart felt as if frozen in ice at that moment.
"Your age is ahead of Siqi, and you are almost past the age of marriage. Now that Nanxi is hired as a queen, she is also worthy of your status. You will definitely not be humiliated." Emperor Shang Jing said.
Qi Yubai tightened his hands hidden in his sleeves. He always knew that the emperor's favor was different, and it was the same as a child, but he didn't want the difference to be so big: "Father, the Nanxi tribe wants Siqi. The king will think that I am not sincere."
"You are also thoughtful about this matter, but Nanxi's move is a back-and-forth. It is a special kindness to the princess. At that time, you go as Siqi. Even if they really know, they won't say anything." Shang Emperor Jing stood up and sighed, "Yubai, I am also worried about your lifelong affairs. Even if you are a dignified princess, you can't really agree to a low-level family. Isn't it a joke."
"The queen is comparable to the queen of a country. My younger sister is not so lucky, but my elder sister is more blessed than me." Qi Siqi said.
"Siqi!" The queen scolded lightly.
"What Siqi said is also true. If your eldest sister doesn't marry, she, as a younger sister, can't leave the court either. It won't be good to spend the rest of your life with you." Emperor Shang Jing said.
Qi Yubai lowered his head and lightly pursed his lips. Today, he decided not to discuss with him, but to inform him.
This is his biological father, a person connected by blood. In the past, even if he was indifferent, he didn't care. Anyway, he couldn't do the kindness of father and son. Now he realizes that his heart will hurt. This father who should protect him For the sake of another daughter, let his flesh and blood bear the burden on her behalf.
Qi Yubai took a deep breath and tried to relieve the pain in his heart. The extreme desolation was probably disappointment. From then on, he and the people on the throne were no longer father and son, but just strangers: "Dare to ask father, when will Married?"
It is necessary to check the time and be fully prepared. Even if the worst result leaves this place, you must make a plan to come back.
"Now that Nanxi is covered with heavy snow, it is difficult for a carriage to travel. You have to wait until the spring when the ice and snow melt, and you have to be prepared. Your mother will also prepare a dowry for you." Emperor Shang Jing said with a sigh of relief.
"Since it's the surrogate sister's marriage, please don't worry, the queen mother, lest people will notice the clues from the dowry before entering Nanxi." Qi Yubai regained his composure when he got up, "If the jade is returned to Zhao, Siqi will go in person."
The queen was slightly stunned, and looked at Emperor Shang Jing, and took a deep breath when he got the signal from his eyes: "This is natural."
I thought it would be fine to give her away as a random marriage, but now I really have to make proper preparations, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Qi Yubai bowed his head and said.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to wait until the beginning of spring for the wedding. Now that you have prepared it early, it will be the beginning of spring when you send it to Humen Pass." The Queen said.
Qi Yubai's heart sank slightly, and Emperor Shang Jing murmured: "This is also reasonable, the queen should have prepared early."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The queen smiled.
This matter should be done as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.
Qi Yubai bowed his head and said, "Your servant will leave."
There is heavy snow in Nanxi, as well as in Beijing, the breath is like ice, but it is not as cold as the heart.
"Your Highness." The waiting maid brought the hand stove with an umbrella.
Qi Yubai took it, and lowered his eyelashes gently down the steps: "Let's go."
There is no one in the palace.
"Marrying on behalf?!" The maid was shocked when she heard that, "Not marrying in your own capacity, but marrying on behalf of Siqi?"
"What's the difference?" Qi Yubai looked at the mirror and took off the pearl hairpin on his head, and wiped off the lip balm on his lips.
The person in the mirror has black hair scattered, willow-leaf eyebrows curved, a pair of cold and affectionate eyes, and a slender neck. He touches the side of his face, only the shape of the face is a little more masculine, and the protruding Adam's apple reminds him of his male identity.
In another two years, even if the woman's eyebrows and eyes are outlined, there will be a sense of abruptness. If the marriage cannot be stopped, then there is no choice but to take risks.
Maid Lan Yue stood on the side and said: "Your Highness, don't be afraid, even if you arrive at Nanxi, the slaves will definitely not let them discover your identity."
Qi Yubai looked back at her, and suddenly smiled: "How can I let a woman suffer for me?"
Although he didn't like the women in the palace, he felt pity for them. He was surrounded by a man all his life, and he didn't have half the freedom to choose. His mother and queen were, and so was he, but Lan Yue wasn't.
"Your Highness!" Lan Yue opened her mouth to speak.
Qi Yubai stretched out his hand to stop it, and only combed a simple bun, fixed it and decorated it with a slanted hairpin before getting up: "Pay attention to the wedding gift list, if you can cut it off, it can also be a backup."
As for the side of Nanxi, if it can be done, who should be the queen?
……
The dagger pierced through the tent, and a figure quietly entered it, swiping the knife towards the person lying on the bed, but the blade stabbed a few times, but it was all soft, the assassin turned his head, but saw the light of the knife swaying past. My tendons and hamstrings are all broken.
The candles in the tent were lit, and the assassin looked at the person holding the knife, and wanted to bite his tongue, but was stabbed in the mouth by the knife, and before he reacted, his lower jaw had already been removed.
"General." The guard who entered the account knelt down and said, "This subordinate is negligent."
"It doesn't matter." When Shen Chun drew out the knife, he brought out the poison sac in the mouth, "Go to the interrogation, and there will be gains."
The review didn't take too long, and the result came out at dawn. The arrested person and the fourth prince were brought into the big tent, and the deputy general explained the cause and effect, but Shen Chun didn't show up.
"Father, the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother didn't die by accident." The fourth prince said angrily, "You have to be the master for them."
The king supported his leg and looked at his son, he was silent for a while: "Fourth prince, regardless of brotherhood, kill him."
"Father, father!!!" The fourth prince was pulled out in horror.
The king let out a long sigh, his breathing seemed to be stagnant, but in January, his once burly body already felt old.
Life is so hard, old age loses a child, I thought I could bear it, but I didn't expect to see it, only to find that it hurts to the bottom of my heart.
Mu Lun is too ruthless. Even though he has the skills to govern the country and loves the people like his own son, he has no brotherhood.
"Chakru, do I still have the energy to train another wolf king?" The king asked the attendants beside him.
"Is Prince Mulun okay?" the guard lowered his head and asked.
The screams outside were completely lost with the sound of a knife falling, the king spat out a mouthful of blood while clutching his chest and said, "It's not good, it's too cruel."
"My lord, all these things are just paying for the sins." The guard handed over the handkerchief and saluted, "I didn't think about the consequences when I committed the crimes, but now I have received retribution, and I blame others for being cruel. If Prince Mulun is not cruel, he will die. It is himself."
Dawang wiped the blood from his lips and suddenly looked at him, his expression changed a few times and he laughed: "Are you also his?"
"Under the rule of Prince Mu Lun, no one died of starvation this winter." The guard said, "The soldiers even searched and rescued many herdsmen who were buried under heavy snow. The subordinates thought this was a good thing."
The king put down his hand, let go of the veil, his cheeks were agitated, but another mouthful of blood spewed out, and he fell straight down.
"A stroke?" Shen Chun laughed when he heard the words, "What did someone say to him?"
"Your Majesty intends to replace you. Chakru said that the people under your rule are in peace, which is much better than in previous years." The lieutenant general said, "The Majesty fainted out of anger. "
"He pursues the wolf's way of life, but he doesn't know that humans are not animals." Shen Chun said.
This is not only true for the struggle for the throne, but for all herdsmen on the grasslands. Because resources are limited, the strong survive and the weak give up, and an unknown number of people die every year.
Human beings are not plants, so no one can be ruthless. As a king, it is natural to give the weak a chance to survive, instead of taking such elimination as a natural battle between wolves.
"One more thing." The deputy general said after pondering, "It's about Shangchao's marriage."
"What?" Shen Chun asked.
"Their wedding party has already left the capital." The lieutenant general said.
"Emperor Jing dotes on his daughter-in-law, why is he willing to send it so early?" Shen Chun asked.
"This subordinate doesn't know." The lieutenant general said, "Now that the king is not good, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get married."
"Well, that's it." Shen Chun said, "So they don't have to send it."
Nanxi's marriage rules are different from those of the Shang Dynasty. If the king dies, the successor can marry his concubines, except for the biological mother.
The princess came and married him, and his Abai was jealous to death.
"Yes." The lieutenant stood up.
[Host, the one on the wedding car is Bai Bai. ] 521 reminded in a low voice.
"Wait!" Shen Chun shouted from his back.
"General?" The lieutenant turned around with some doubts.
"Forget it, since it's already delivered, there's no need to keep saying it." Shen Chun twirled his fingers and said.
No wonder Shang Chao was in a hurry to send it off, it turned out that he had changed someone secretly, since he had already sent it, there was no reason to return it, but if he wanted to marry, there was absolutely no reason to marry someone else.
The deputy general was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Yes."
The king's tent was warm, and the old man leaned on the bed and was fed medicine, and there was a sound of wind leaking from his throat.
The big tent was opened, and the maid turned her head to salute: "Prince Mulun."
"Let's go out first." Shen Chun walked over and said.
"Yes." The maid picked up the medicine bowl and turned to leave.
Shen Chun stayed by the bed, looked at the man's eyes that could only roll and smiled and said, "Father, are you alright?"
There was a ho-ho sound from the king's throat, but he couldn't speak.
Shen Chun sat on the edge of the bed and smiled, "I forgot that you can't talk anymore, sorry."
The king looked at him, took a deep breath, and there was some desolation in his eyes.
"You should die." Shen Chun said lightly.
The king's eyes widened and his body trembled slightly: "You..."
"I'm not your son." Shen Chun said with a smile, "Mulun died by the snow-capped mountain lake, was tied to the horse's back by your sons, broke his legs and head, struggled desperately, and died. "
Disbelief appeared in the king's eyes.
"Actually, you must have been watching." Shen Chun looked at him and said with a smile, "You saw him when he was bullied and trampled on, but you hated his weakness and left him alone, thinking that he had the weak blood of Shang Dynasty people. , so death deserves it, and it is only natural for a pack of wolves to fight and the weak to be eliminated."
The king breathed tremblingly, barely moved his hands.
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest is right." Shen Chun said lightly, "It's an extremely critical and helpless situation. Naturally, the strong will have the possibility to continue to survive, but he was not treated fairly at the beginning. There was no chance to grow up from the beginning, so it is inevitable to die."
The king was trembling all over, but he couldn't say anything, his eyes were even so wide that they bulged.
"Bloodline... The common people don't care who sits on the throne at all, and they don't want to be the weak who are eliminated." Shen Chun got up, walked to the edge of the tent, opened the big tent and smiled back, "Ah, by the way, you Don't worry, I will send your son to reunite with you after you die."
The big tent was put down, and the man lying on the bed spurted out a mouthful of blood. He struggled on the bed, but gradually lost his breath.
The doctor's diagnosis was shortness of breath, without any poison or scars. The attendants sorted out the remains, Shen Rou knelt aside and cried sadly, relatives and nobles gathered together, and the few remaining princes looked anxious.
"My concubine's condolences. Your Majesty loved Prince Mulun the most during his lifetime, and now the succession is the most important thing." The leader said dearly.
"According to the order, it should be the fifth prince who succeeds." Another relative said expensively.
The other young sons looked over, and the fifth prince trembled a little: "Nanxi has a different dynasty, so the throne is naturally for those who are able, and it is best for the sixth brother to succeed."
Shen Chun looked over, and the fifth prince withdrew his gaze and said, "I have no intention of being on the throne, and I have no ability to govern the country."
"Then invite Prince Mulun to take over the throne." All relatives said.
It is proposed that the five sons are just going through the motions, the king suddenly has a stroke, Prince Mulun is in power, and the battle for the throne is turbulent, but at this time, the strong will still be king.
"Prepare for the funeral ceremony first, the succession is not urgent." Shen Chun said.
"Yes." All relatives said.
King Nanxi died of illness. This is a major event. The news of the funeral has spread throughout the tribe, but few people are sad. All they ask are: "Who ascended the throne?"
"Is Prince Mulun going to be the king?"
"If Prince Mulun becomes the king, wouldn't I, Nanxi, be helped by the gods?"
"Thank God."
Nanxi King's funeral is a state affair, and the news spread to Shang Dynasty very quickly.
"It's a pity, I sent someone to send Wanyi to show my memory." Emperor Shang Jing said.
"Your Majesty, King Nanxi is mourning, and the marriage needs to be discussed again," Wen Xiang said.
Although the matter of marriage on behalf of the royal family is secret, but Princess Siqi stays in the palace well, so the woman to be married is naturally not Princess Siqi.
When he heard the news, the fifth princess had been sent out of the capital, and he couldn't bear any woman to marry her, but this move was too much, and the daughter of the Empress Yuan was tortured by it.
"Since it is dead and the etiquette has not been followed, it should be recalled." Emperor Shang Jing said.
Prime Minister Wen saluted and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Your Majesty, this is impossible. Although the etiquette has not been followed, the princess has already been married, so there is no reason to return it." The queen got the news and said when she left the court, "Even if she comes back, she has been married before. No matter how hard it is To get married, it would be better to send her to Nanxi and become a widow, so as to show the chastity of my daughter from the dynasty."
"I have already promised Wen Xiang in the court, how can I go back on it?" Emperor Shang Jing said, "She is my daughter after all, why can't you tolerate her like this?"
"But Siqi..." the queen wanted to speak.
"There is no need to talk about this again." Emperor Shang Jing got up and shook his sleeves.
……
The wedding carriage moved forward with great momentum, accompanied by dowry vehicles, and the defense was very strict.
"Your Highness, we are already halfway through." Tian Zhan, who was riding beside the carriage, looked ahead and said, "If it is farther away, when we reach the Louguan, there is no room for regret."
"The odds of winning are only [-]% now." A soft voice came from the car, "In three more days."
"Yes." Tian Zhan said.
The car is spacious, covered with soft cushions, and warmed by smokeless charcoal fires, but it is windy here, and the car walls are not thick enough after all. Qi Yubai was not wearing a wedding dress, but wrapped a blanket around his body, leaning against the car window Looking at the book, I repeatedly calculated the odds of winning this time in my heart.
But no matter how he calculates, the chances of winning are very low. If he can wait another year in the capital, he won't be so passive.
The eagle flew up and landed on a tree in the evening. When the bamboo tube was taken off, it was handed to the side of the carriage: "Your Highness, news from Beijing."
Qi Yubai unfolded the note, looked at the handwriting on it, and joy appeared in his eyes: King Nanxi died of illness.
Since you died of illness, you don't need to marry, and you won't have any worries after that.
The fast horse galloped and smashed the flying snow, and the news went straight to Beijing: "Your Majesty, the sixth prince of Nanxi has succeeded to the throne and requested to continue the marriage."
"What?" Emperor Shang Jing frowned, "This marriage is to marry his father."
"Your Majesty, there is a custom in Nanxi that a son whose father dies can marry his wife. The king of Nanxi said that he was just sending off his relatives, but the ceremony was not completed. The left and right sides will have to marry each other in the future. It is better to do it now, and still use the position of queen as an appointment, so there is no need to go back and forth. Already." The man who reported it said.
"Absurd, how can one daughter serve two husbands? This wind is extremely disruptive to human relations." The minister said, "How can the princess bear it?"
"At that time, I also said that marrying the King of Nanxi, if the etiquette is not completed, the marriage is not considered settled. The King of Nanxi is right." Emperor Shang Jing asked, "How old is the King of Nanxi now?"
"Eighteen." The humane way of reporting.
"It's not better than marrying your predecessor." Emperor Shang Jing opened the memorial and frowned, "He also wants Wen Ruizhuo, the son of Prime Minister Wen, as a dowry?"
Wen Xiang's expression changed drastically: "Why?"
"It is said that Shang Chao is suspected of going back on his word." The person who reported it bowed his head.
Wen Xiang's expression was in a trance for a moment: "Your Majesty, there may be spies from Nanxi Kingdom in the court."
He might have known about the fact that he wanted the princess back that day, so he would say such a thing.
"Sure enough, it's a wolf's ambition, not enough greed." Emperor Shang Jing jumped up against the case, "Mr. Wen, what is the chance for me to win against Nanxi now?"
"I'm afraid it's less than [-]%." Wen Xiang was slumped when he heard the words, feeling quite tearful, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has only one son."
"We are sorry for Wen Xiang, but it is just a dowry. I will make him an uncle. If I want to come to Nanxi, I won't be too hard on him as a man." Emperor Shang Jing sighed.
Wen Xiang sighed tremblingly: "So... Thank you, Your Majesty."
Even the princess can be sent to marry him, so what does his son matter.
When the imperial decree was issued, the young man in the prime minister's mansion was still a little dazed when he received Xie En. When he left, he carefully looked at the imperial decree and said, "Why is this?"
He looks gentle and elegant, very similar to Wen Xiang's temperament. He was originally a celebrity, but now he feels panicked.
"This is my father's fault." Wen Xiangchang sighed, "I thought about King Nanxi's death, so I should let the princess come back, but I didn't want to annoy the new King of Nanxi, Zhuo Er, my father can't help you. .”
"It has nothing to do with my father. The princess and her parents are already in a difficult situation. Now they have to remarry, but His Majesty has agreed." Wen Ruizhuo said while pinching the imperial decree.
"Zhuo'er." Wen Xiang reminded.
"Er is not questioning the Holy Majesty, but lamenting that he will not be able to perform filial piety at his knees in the future." Wen Ruizhuo knelt down.
"Your Majesty enshrined you as uncle. Although it is a dowry, the King of Nanxi should not be masculine. You have to bear with it. There will always be a day of return." Wen Xiang knelt down and helped him up.
"Yes." Wen Ruizhuo replied.
"The capital is in chaos, and the Wen family doesn't want to be in the muddy water. You can go to Nanxi to avoid it." Wen Xiang urged, "Although the princess is a queen, she is in a foreign country. You are a man, although you don't have to Always pay attention, but if you are wronged there, you must protect each other."
"Father doesn't like the queen mother and daughter?" Wen Ruizhuo frowned.
Wen Xiang sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you until now, the married person is the Fifth Princess, don't tell outsiders about this, just know it yourself."
Wen Ruizhuo showed a surprised expression, then suppressed it and said, "Yes, father."
Marriage was on the agenda again. Although Wen Ruizhuo was a dowry, he had to set off as soon as possible. The carriages were all ready. The young man under the new willow stood there and handed the jade pendant around his waist to the man opposite him.
The man was dressed in off-white cloud brocade, without any extravagant accessories, with a folding fan on his waist, and only a silver hairpin on his head. His eyebrows were like stars, but he was extremely elegant. He didn't look like a prince, but like a literati who indulged in mountains and rivers .
"Brother Jin, this is my personal jade pendant." Wen Ruizhuo looked at him and said, "Leave it as a thought for you, if you can come back... Forget it, just think about it."
They have communicated with each other, but they don't know when they will return from this trip, but they can't delay him.
Qi Mujin took it over and said: "You don't have to worry, although it's a dowry, I will beg Wen Xiang to ask His Majesty to let you come back earlier."
Wen Ruizhuo responded, "Yes."
"I have always carried this fan. Although it is not as valuable as your jade pendant, let's think about it." Qi Mujin handed over the folding fan at his waist, "I will wait for you in the capital."
"Okay." Wen Ruizhuo took the folding fan, pursed his lips tightly when he turned around, and stepped into the carriage.
Can't look back, otherwise he must be reluctant.
The horse carriage traveled, and three thousand Imperial Forest Army guards left the capital in a mighty way.
The wedding party stayed where they were and waited for the news. They did not go forward because King Nanxi died, and they did not return at random because they had to obey His Majesty's edict.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the imperial decree to return to Beijing must be on the way." Lan Yue comforted.
Qi Yubai's joy was gone, and he sat in the post station and looked out the window at the branches that had melted the snow, and sprouts had sprouted on them: "Prepare for the worst."
It's spring.
It is good to be able to go back, but just in case, King Nanxi died strangely, and several successors also died one after another. That Prince Mu Lun is definitely not a kind person.
At night, the snow fell, tick-tock, Qi Yubai didn't sleep well all night, and at dawn he heard the sound of soldiers and horses.
When he sat up, Lan Yue dressed and said, "Your Highness, wait a moment, I'll go and have a look."
Tossing and going back and forth, three thousand soldiers had surrounded the station, Qi Yubai's heart sank when he was cleaning up, and the eunuch entered the room to declare: "...the new king of Nanxi is willing to hire him as a queen. The king of the stream has become a ceremony, and I promise to move on and marry the new king of Nanxi, making Qin and Jin a good friend."
When the decree was delivered, Qi Yubai knelt down and said nothing, and reached out to take it after a while: "...Thank you for your kindness."
After the substitute marriage, there will be remarriage, and his father really made the best use of everything.
The Xuanzhi eunuch left, Lan Yue supported him and said, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"Three thousand imperial guards are afraid that I will run away." Qi Yubai stood in front of the window and said, "This time there is no chance of winning."
The trip to Nanxi is imperative, and since he is going, he should do something he should do.
"Your Highness..."
Qi Yubai said: "There is no need to think about this matter."
This matter cannot be escaped. If he escapes, Nanxi will have a hard time. It is a matter of two countries. It is not just that he is alone. He cannot take the throne and can no longer involve the people. Otherwise, even if he takes the throne in the future, he will feel ashamed.
"Yes." Lan Yue bowed her head and stepped back.
The wedding procession moved forward, becoming more and more powerful, and everyone who met them gave way one after another.
"Princess, I have the honor to meet Prince Mu Lun. This man is quite methodical, his emotions are not visible, and his thoughts are deep, but he is more reasonable than the previous King of Nanxi." Tian Zhan said softly outside the window of the accompanying carriage, "He is quite skilled in martial arts, and Lian Chen was picked off the horse in only three strokes. The princess should be more cautious, and he should not make things difficult for you."
"Thank you." Qi Yubai thought about it.
He would let Wen Ruizhuo marry as a dowry just because Prime Minister Wen suggested that he should go back, which shows that he is narrow-minded and reasonable?If you can get him to remarry, you probably won't be able to reason with women.
The snow on the grassland has melted, and the new buds have emerged. The place where the king's tent was buried has changed from the previous funeral. The newly built king's tent is mainly red, spacious and comfortable, and full of joy.
"Prince Mulun really wants to marry Princess Shang as queen?"
"That's the real princess, so it's right."
"Isn't my Nanxi country messing up bloodlines?"
"You still dare to talk about bloodlines, are you not afraid of losing your head? The prince said that in the commercial exchanges between the two countries, we must extract the essence and discard the dross, so as to maximize our strengths and avoid weaknesses. It is even more prosperous than it was in the ancient dynasty."
"Heroes don't ask where they come from, but the blood of the former king is right. Can he feed you and clothe you warmly?"
"The prince said that the more confident people are, the more they will discriminate and look down on others. Those who have difficulties in their hearts are all humble and good at learning. This is still the case. I, Nanxi, don't have to follow their style."
"..."
The surroundings of the king's tent were constantly arranged, and hundreds of fast horses galloped on the grassland, heading towards Humen Pass.
Looking at the city gate, the leader pulled the reins, and the horse neighed. When it landed, the gold, jade and agate beads on the side of the hair were as if in the hair, and the smile was already deep in the eyes.
"Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood." The accompanying person laughed.
"Your Majesty came to pick you up in person, so you are naturally in a good mood." Another person said.
"It is rumored that Princess Na Siqi is the most beautiful woman in the world, so the newlyweds are naturally anxious." The others laughed.
Shen Chun looked back and said with a smile: "You have a good sentence, and the newlyweds are naturally anxious."
The others laughed.
There was a whistling sound from the city wall, Shen Chun responded with a whistle, and the city wall was overjoyed: "It's the king! Open the city gate!"
The gates of the city were thrown wide open, and the knights passed through.
After Shang Dynasty's mighty battle passed Louguan, Tian Zhan sighed softly, knowing that there was no turning back: "Princess, I should arrive at Humen Pass in two days, you should take care of it."
"I know." Qi Yubai knelt in the car and put on his wedding dress. Lan Yue painted his eyebrows and temples for him. Even if he really married in at Humen Pass, I don't know how long he can be fooled by his current status, but these things Time is enough to kill the king of Nanxi and cause chaos in Nanxi.
The people of Nanxi are the people, and the people of his dynasty are also the people. How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch.
With the hijab on, the step rocked as the carriage swayed lightly, the terrain was already uneven.
The sound of horseshoes was heard in front of the convoy, and the guards in the convoy sounded: "Who is it?!"
"Princess, I'm going to find out what happened." Tian Zhance immediately said, "Don't fight yet!"
The smoke and dust billowed in front of him, and hundreds of knights came in the setting sun. The leader rode a black horse with flying mane, and the cloak on his body fluttered accordingly. When he approached, he could already see the lazy and romantic eyebrows.
The fierce horse roared, passed through the soldiers in front, and all the long spears stretched out when he raised the knife were broken.
"Stop! Stop!" Tian Zhan was too late to stop him, and saw the fierce horse approaching the car.
"The King of Nanxi is here to pick up the bride!" The accompanying deputy general was also stunned, and quickly raised his voice.
The two sides stopped, Shen Chun's horse had passed countless soldiers, and arrived at the most conspicuous and spacious car.
At that moment, Tian Zhan felt his head was going to explode. He acted calmly and showed no emotions, it seemed that he was lying. This man was so reckless that he didn't seem to come to pick up the bride, but came to snatch her.
The sound of the horse's hooves stopped outside the car, and after two kicks, Qi Yubai heard the sound of the horse and knew that it was an excellent horse.
"The King of Nanxi came to pick up the bride." Shen Chun looked at the carriage and managed to control himself not to open the door directly.
Lan Yue was originally protecting her, so she inevitably got a little angry when she heard this: "Your Highness, wait a moment."
She leaned out the door and said: "The king is reckless, and he is not afraid of scaring the princess!"
Such turmoil, it is obvious that they are rough guys who don't know how to cherish others, and General Tian Zhan even said they are gentlemen.
However, when her eyes fell on the horseman, her words froze.
The man wears gold and jade and a cape with a fur collar. Although it is different from the Central Plains people's attire, he is handsome and romantic in the setting sun and setting sun, without any sense of roughness.
"Sorry, it's just that the sun is about to set at this time, if it's too late, the icy road will be difficult to walk at night." Shen Chun said.
"...So that's the case." Lan Yue turned her head to look at the people in the carriage, "But there is no need to come near this carriage."
"The wall of this carriage is thin, and it can't withstand the cold wind outside the Great Wall. It's unnecessary." Shen Chun smiled, "Please ask the princess to transfer."
The deputy general handed over the handwriting, and grandiosely took away the dowry.
"The general will still send the princess somewhere." Tian Zhan said with a frown.
"The grassland is full of swamps now, you can't come out after entering." The lieutenant general said, "It's better to stay here."
"Princess?" Lan Yue entered the car door and asked.
"Thank you, my lord, let's change trains." Qi Yubai said.
Although caught off guard, this is just the result, and it is the same at any time.
"Slow down." Lan Yue opened the curtain, Qi Yubai saw a hand stretched out in front of her when she stepped forward.
The man's finger bones are long and slender, covered with cocoons, and he is very powerful at first glance. Once he enters another country, it is the rule according to the people of other countries.
Qi Yubai took a deep breath and climbed up. The first day he fell, his hands were already clenched, and the warm and dry feeling passed through him, which made him a little excited.
"Sure enough, it's freezing." Shen Chun's heart agitated, and he even felt a little impatient. People say that a little goodbye is better than a newlywed, and it really makes sense.
He exerted force on his hands, but before Qi Yubai could answer, he fell into his arms unexpectedly, and subconsciously grabbed his fur collar.
Lan Yue exclaimed: "Princess!"
"I won't fall you." Shen Chun hugged him tightly, wrapped his cloak around him and said with a smile.
Qi Yubai's body suddenly became warm, and he was forced to lean against his arms. He could feel the firmness of his chest, but there was no peculiar smell of raw hair and blood drinking as imagined, only the smell of green grass: "Is this the custom of the king?"
"Didn't Shang Chao pay attention to women not getting their feet off the ground before they get married?" Shen Chun lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the horse walked forward.
"Does Your Majesty want to go to Nanxi like this?" Qi Yubai had never been so close to a person before, and this person's aura was too strong.
"I have prepared a carriage for you, and all your attendants must take it with you. Rest at Humen Pass tonight, and leave tomorrow." Shen Chun rode his horse to the carriage he was carrying, and carried him down when he got off the horse.
The person in his arms is quite light, much lighter than ordinary men, and he must have suffered a lot to pretend to be a woman for many years.
Qi Yubai supported his shoulders, put his arms on the accessories he was wearing, and the next moment he could see his eyes moving, the other party landed on the carriage as lightly as if there was nothing, and put him into the carriage.
The man from Nanxi has ridden a horse since he was a child, and his strength and agility are really extraordinary.
Qi Yubai touched the soft blanket and sat quietly, unexpectedly felt that it was as warm as spring, without the slightest bit of cold wind.
Shen Chun half-kneeled beside Che Huan and looked at the newcomers, he was sitting very dignified, with jade fingers crossed, he really looked like a woman, obviously he had been subjected to a lot of rules in the palace.
[Host, measure. 】07 reminded.
Shen Chun smiled and said: "You rest here, if you feel that the hairpin is thick and can be removed, call me if you need something."
"Yes." Qi Yubai replied.
Although his words were polite, his tone was very cold. Shen Chun put down the curtain and got out of the car, got on the horse, barely suppressed the urgency in his heart, and let out a breath against the cold wind.
The person is about to be obtained, and other things can be done slowly. If he doesn't count on his words, he will be locked up for another ten years when he returns to the original world.
Lan Yue got into the carriage, and there were not many attendants accompanying Qi Yubai, but Wen Ruizhuo had quite a few attendants.
"Everything is packed." The lieutenant reported.
"Farewell." Shen Chun saluted, rode his horse and said, "Let's go!"
The convoy moved on and left the garrison, Tian Zhan looked at the people going away and sighed.
If you are so anxious, you should be more patient with the princess.
But before, he didn't see that he was such a anxious person.
"Princess, this carriage is warm." Lan Yue said while sitting in one of the carriages.
"It should be sealed with fur." Qi Yubai said while touching the soft fur on the bottom of his feet.
This should be wolf fur. There are a lot of wolves herding sheep in the grassland. In such a cold place, it is normal to use wolf fur to keep out the cold.
I don't know how to deal with this thing, it feels soft and has no peculiar smell.
"Are you going to take off the hairpin?" Lan Yue asked.
Qi Yubai noticed that her attitude was slightly different, and said tensely, "No need."
That person seemed to be impetuous today, but he can't pretend to be a man of force. He can attack Humen Pass and seize the throne.
It is such a short period of time that Lanyue's attitude can change, which shows that she has deep thoughts and cannot be fooled by her attitude and slack off.
The carriage entered Humen Pass at nightfall, Qi Yubai relaxed his body when he was carried off this time and said, "Thank you."
"You and I, husband and wife, don't need to thank you." Shen Chun hugged the man and smiled.
Qi Yubai: "..."
frivolous.
He was placed on the couch, and even though he was covered with a veil, he could still feel the scrutinizing gaze, and when he was about to speak, he heard him say: "It's been a long journey, take a good rest."
"Yes." Qi Yubai replied.
Shen Chun turned and left, Lan Yue closed the door when she entered and said, "Princess, do you want to wash up now?"
"Yeah." Qi Yubai took off the hijab and said.
After a night's rest, after leaving the Humen Pass, you will see the vast grassland, with the sound of the wind whistling, far away
"Since I can agree, it means that this princess is not as good as Jiangshan Sheji, and will not be of much use." Shen Chun supported the handle of the knife and said, "I have already asked for something and retired. If I ask for it now, outsiders will only hear about it." I feel that my Nanxi people have no credibility and courtesy, and the Shang Dynasty can use this to make a big fuss about commerce. I know whether my father is trying to coerce me or is lustful."
The king clenched his fists: "Mulun, what you said is serious. I'm just a woman, and I'm not so stupid. I have already informed Shang Chao about this, and I can't go back on my word."
Shen Chun looked at him, and smiled after a while: "It seems that we can't reach an agreement, so let Shang Chao make the preparations first."
Now that the grassland is covered by heavy snow, people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in. Even if they want to see off their relatives, it will take until the beginning of spring next year, and there is plenty of time for him to take care of things here.
Without the king, the princess would naturally not have to marry, thinking about it, Shang Chao himself was also very happy.
"What do you mean?" The king stood up and asked when Shen Chun turned around, feeling a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
Shen Chun didn't give him an answer.
The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and the third prince went hunting and died under the avalanche.
When the news spread to the king's tent, the king fell down on the bedside and muttered to himself, "He has started to do something."
It turned out that he was not giving up, but was waiting for an opportunity. Neither his son nor himself could run away.
……
"What's the meaning of father's words?" Qi Yubai knelt on the ground, looking at the noble emperor, the majestic queen, and Qi Siqi who raised his chin high, his heart felt as if frozen in ice at that moment.
"Your age is ahead of Siqi, and you are almost past the age of marriage. Now that Nanxi is hired as a queen, she is also worthy of your status. You will definitely not be humiliated." Emperor Shang Jing said.
Qi Yubai tightened his hands hidden in his sleeves. He always knew that the emperor's favor was different, and it was the same as a child, but he didn't want the difference to be so big: "Father, the Nanxi tribe wants Siqi. The king will think that I am not sincere."
"You are also thoughtful about this matter, but Nanxi's move is a back-and-forth. It is a special kindness to the princess. At that time, you go as Siqi. Even if they really know, they won't say anything." Shang Emperor Jing stood up and sighed, "Yubai, I am also worried about your lifelong affairs. Even if you are a dignified princess, you can't really agree to a low-level family. Isn't it a joke."
"The queen is comparable to the queen of a country. My younger sister is not so lucky, but my elder sister is more blessed than me." Qi Siqi said.
"Siqi!" The queen scolded lightly.
"What Siqi said is also true. If your eldest sister doesn't marry, she, as a younger sister, can't leave the court either. It won't be good to spend the rest of your life with you." Emperor Shang Jing said.
Qi Yubai lowered his head and lightly pursed his lips. Today, he decided not to discuss with him, but to inform him.
This is his biological father, a person connected by blood. In the past, even if he was indifferent, he didn't care. Anyway, he couldn't do the kindness of father and son. Now he realizes that his heart will hurt. This father who should protect him For the sake of another daughter, let his flesh and blood bear the burden on her behalf.
Qi Yubai took a deep breath and tried to relieve the pain in his heart. The extreme desolation was probably disappointment. From then on, he and the people on the throne were no longer father and son, but just strangers: "Dare to ask father, when will Married?"
It is necessary to check the time and be fully prepared. Even if the worst result leaves this place, you must make a plan to come back.
"Now that Nanxi is covered with heavy snow, it is difficult for a carriage to travel. You have to wait until the spring when the ice and snow melt, and you have to be prepared. Your mother will also prepare a dowry for you." Emperor Shang Jing said with a sigh of relief.
"Since it's the surrogate sister's marriage, please don't worry, the queen mother, lest people will notice the clues from the dowry before entering Nanxi." Qi Yubai regained his composure when he got up, "If the jade is returned to Zhao, Siqi will go in person."
The queen was slightly stunned, and looked at Emperor Shang Jing, and took a deep breath when he got the signal from his eyes: "This is natural."
I thought it would be fine to give her away as a random marriage, but now I really have to make proper preparations, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Qi Yubai bowed his head and said.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to wait until the beginning of spring for the wedding. Now that you have prepared it early, it will be the beginning of spring when you send it to Humen Pass." The Queen said.
Qi Yubai's heart sank slightly, and Emperor Shang Jing murmured: "This is also reasonable, the queen should have prepared early."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The queen smiled.
This matter should be done as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.
Qi Yubai bowed his head and said, "Your servant will leave."
There is heavy snow in Nanxi, as well as in Beijing, the breath is like ice, but it is not as cold as the heart.
"Your Highness." The waiting maid brought the hand stove with an umbrella.
Qi Yubai took it, and lowered his eyelashes gently down the steps: "Let's go."
There is no one in the palace.
"Marrying on behalf?!" The maid was shocked when she heard that, "Not marrying in your own capacity, but marrying on behalf of Siqi?"
"What's the difference?" Qi Yubai looked at the mirror and took off the pearl hairpin on his head, and wiped off the lip balm on his lips.
The person in the mirror has black hair scattered, willow-leaf eyebrows curved, a pair of cold and affectionate eyes, and a slender neck. He touches the side of his face, only the shape of the face is a little more masculine, and the protruding Adam's apple reminds him of his male identity.
In another two years, even if the woman's eyebrows and eyes are outlined, there will be a sense of abruptness. If the marriage cannot be stopped, then there is no choice but to take risks.
Maid Lan Yue stood on the side and said: "Your Highness, don't be afraid, even if you arrive at Nanxi, the slaves will definitely not let them discover your identity."
Qi Yubai looked back at her, and suddenly smiled: "How can I let a woman suffer for me?"
Although he didn't like the women in the palace, he felt pity for them. He was surrounded by a man all his life, and he didn't have half the freedom to choose. His mother and queen were, and so was he, but Lan Yue wasn't.
"Your Highness!" Lan Yue opened her mouth to speak.
Qi Yubai stretched out his hand to stop it, and only combed a simple bun, fixed it and decorated it with a slanted hairpin before getting up: "Pay attention to the wedding gift list, if you can cut it off, it can also be a backup."
As for the side of Nanxi, if it can be done, who should be the queen?
……
The dagger pierced through the tent, and a figure quietly entered it, swiping the knife towards the person lying on the bed, but the blade stabbed a few times, but it was all soft, the assassin turned his head, but saw the light of the knife swaying past. My tendons and hamstrings are all broken.
The candles in the tent were lit, and the assassin looked at the person holding the knife, and wanted to bite his tongue, but was stabbed in the mouth by the knife, and before he reacted, his lower jaw had already been removed.
"General." The guard who entered the account knelt down and said, "This subordinate is negligent."
"It doesn't matter." When Shen Chun drew out the knife, he brought out the poison sac in the mouth, "Go to the interrogation, and there will be gains."
The review didn't take too long, and the result came out at dawn. The arrested person and the fourth prince were brought into the big tent, and the deputy general explained the cause and effect, but Shen Chun didn't show up.
"Father, the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother didn't die by accident." The fourth prince said angrily, "You have to be the master for them."
The king supported his leg and looked at his son, he was silent for a while: "Fourth prince, regardless of brotherhood, kill him."
"Father, father!!!" The fourth prince was pulled out in horror.
The king let out a long sigh, his breathing seemed to be stagnant, but in January, his once burly body already felt old.
Life is so hard, old age loses a child, I thought I could bear it, but I didn't expect to see it, only to find that it hurts to the bottom of my heart.
Mu Lun is too ruthless. Even though he has the skills to govern the country and loves the people like his own son, he has no brotherhood.
"Chakru, do I still have the energy to train another wolf king?" The king asked the attendants beside him.
"Is Prince Mulun okay?" the guard lowered his head and asked.
The screams outside were completely lost with the sound of a knife falling, the king spat out a mouthful of blood while clutching his chest and said, "It's not good, it's too cruel."
"My lord, all these things are just paying for the sins." The guard handed over the handkerchief and saluted, "I didn't think about the consequences when I committed the crimes, but now I have received retribution, and I blame others for being cruel. If Prince Mulun is not cruel, he will die. It is himself."
Dawang wiped the blood from his lips and suddenly looked at him, his expression changed a few times and he laughed: "Are you also his?"
"Under the rule of Prince Mu Lun, no one died of starvation this winter." The guard said, "The soldiers even searched and rescued many herdsmen who were buried under heavy snow. The subordinates thought this was a good thing."
The king put down his hand, let go of the veil, his cheeks were agitated, but another mouthful of blood spewed out, and he fell straight down.
"A stroke?" Shen Chun laughed when he heard the words, "What did someone say to him?"
"Your Majesty intends to replace you. Chakru said that the people under your rule are in peace, which is much better than in previous years." The lieutenant general said, "The Majesty fainted out of anger. "
"He pursues the wolf's way of life, but he doesn't know that humans are not animals." Shen Chun said.
This is not only true for the struggle for the throne, but for all herdsmen on the grasslands. Because resources are limited, the strong survive and the weak give up, and an unknown number of people die every year.
Human beings are not plants, so no one can be ruthless. As a king, it is natural to give the weak a chance to survive, instead of taking such elimination as a natural battle between wolves.
"One more thing." The deputy general said after pondering, "It's about Shangchao's marriage."
"What?" Shen Chun asked.
"Their wedding party has already left the capital." The lieutenant general said.
"Emperor Jing dotes on his daughter-in-law, why is he willing to send it so early?" Shen Chun asked.
"This subordinate doesn't know." The lieutenant general said, "Now that the king is not good, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get married."
"Well, that's it." Shen Chun said, "So they don't have to send it."
Nanxi's marriage rules are different from those of the Shang Dynasty. If the king dies, the successor can marry his concubines, except for the biological mother.
The princess came and married him, and his Abai was jealous to death.
"Yes." The lieutenant stood up.
[Host, the one on the wedding car is Bai Bai. ] 521 reminded in a low voice.
"Wait!" Shen Chun shouted from his back.
"General?" The lieutenant turned around with some doubts.
"Forget it, since it's already delivered, there's no need to keep saying it." Shen Chun twirled his fingers and said.
No wonder Shang Chao was in a hurry to send it off, it turned out that he had changed someone secretly, since he had already sent it, there was no reason to return it, but if he wanted to marry, there was absolutely no reason to marry someone else.
The deputy general was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Yes."
The king's tent was warm, and the old man leaned on the bed and was fed medicine, and there was a sound of wind leaking from his throat.
The big tent was opened, and the maid turned her head to salute: "Prince Mulun."
"Let's go out first." Shen Chun walked over and said.
"Yes." The maid picked up the medicine bowl and turned to leave.
Shen Chun stayed by the bed, looked at the man's eyes that could only roll and smiled and said, "Father, are you alright?"
There was a ho-ho sound from the king's throat, but he couldn't speak.
Shen Chun sat on the edge of the bed and smiled, "I forgot that you can't talk anymore, sorry."
The king looked at him, took a deep breath, and there was some desolation in his eyes.
"You should die." Shen Chun said lightly.
The king's eyes widened and his body trembled slightly: "You..."
"I'm not your son." Shen Chun said with a smile, "Mulun died by the snow-capped mountain lake, was tied to the horse's back by your sons, broke his legs and head, struggled desperately, and died. "
Disbelief appeared in the king's eyes.
"Actually, you must have been watching." Shen Chun looked at him and said with a smile, "You saw him when he was bullied and trampled on, but you hated his weakness and left him alone, thinking that he had the weak blood of Shang Dynasty people. , so death deserves it, and it is only natural for a pack of wolves to fight and the weak to be eliminated."
The king breathed tremblingly, barely moved his hands.
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest is right." Shen Chun said lightly, "It's an extremely critical and helpless situation. Naturally, the strong will have the possibility to continue to survive, but he was not treated fairly at the beginning. There was no chance to grow up from the beginning, so it is inevitable to die."
The king was trembling all over, but he couldn't say anything, his eyes were even so wide that they bulged.
"Bloodline... The common people don't care who sits on the throne at all, and they don't want to be the weak who are eliminated." Shen Chun got up, walked to the edge of the tent, opened the big tent and smiled back, "Ah, by the way, you Don't worry, I will send your son to reunite with you after you die."
The big tent was put down, and the man lying on the bed spurted out a mouthful of blood. He struggled on the bed, but gradually lost his breath.
The doctor's diagnosis was shortness of breath, without any poison or scars. The attendants sorted out the remains, Shen Rou knelt aside and cried sadly, relatives and nobles gathered together, and the few remaining princes looked anxious.
"My concubine's condolences. Your Majesty loved Prince Mulun the most during his lifetime, and now the succession is the most important thing." The leader said dearly.
"According to the order, it should be the fifth prince who succeeds." Another relative said expensively.
The other young sons looked over, and the fifth prince trembled a little: "Nanxi has a different dynasty, so the throne is naturally for those who are able, and it is best for the sixth brother to succeed."
Shen Chun looked over, and the fifth prince withdrew his gaze and said, "I have no intention of being on the throne, and I have no ability to govern the country."
"Then invite Prince Mulun to take over the throne." All relatives said.
It is proposed that the five sons are just going through the motions, the king suddenly has a stroke, Prince Mulun is in power, and the battle for the throne is turbulent, but at this time, the strong will still be king.
"Prepare for the funeral ceremony first, the succession is not urgent." Shen Chun said.
"Yes." All relatives said.
King Nanxi died of illness. This is a major event. The news of the funeral has spread throughout the tribe, but few people are sad. All they ask are: "Who ascended the throne?"
"Is Prince Mulun going to be the king?"
"If Prince Mulun becomes the king, wouldn't I, Nanxi, be helped by the gods?"
"Thank God."
Nanxi King's funeral is a state affair, and the news spread to Shang Dynasty very quickly.
"It's a pity, I sent someone to send Wanyi to show my memory." Emperor Shang Jing said.
"Your Majesty, King Nanxi is mourning, and the marriage needs to be discussed again," Wen Xiang said.
Although the matter of marriage on behalf of the royal family is secret, but Princess Siqi stays in the palace well, so the woman to be married is naturally not Princess Siqi.
When he heard the news, the fifth princess had been sent out of the capital, and he couldn't bear any woman to marry her, but this move was too much, and the daughter of the Empress Yuan was tortured by it.
"Since it is dead and the etiquette has not been followed, it should be recalled." Emperor Shang Jing said.
Prime Minister Wen saluted and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Your Majesty, this is impossible. Although the etiquette has not been followed, the princess has already been married, so there is no reason to return it." The queen got the news and said when she left the court, "Even if she comes back, she has been married before. No matter how hard it is To get married, it would be better to send her to Nanxi and become a widow, so as to show the chastity of my daughter from the dynasty."
"I have already promised Wen Xiang in the court, how can I go back on it?" Emperor Shang Jing said, "She is my daughter after all, why can't you tolerate her like this?"
"But Siqi..." the queen wanted to speak.
"There is no need to talk about this again." Emperor Shang Jing got up and shook his sleeves.
……
The wedding carriage moved forward with great momentum, accompanied by dowry vehicles, and the defense was very strict.
"Your Highness, we are already halfway through." Tian Zhan, who was riding beside the carriage, looked ahead and said, "If it is farther away, when we reach the Louguan, there is no room for regret."
"The odds of winning are only [-]% now." A soft voice came from the car, "In three more days."
"Yes." Tian Zhan said.
The car is spacious, covered with soft cushions, and warmed by smokeless charcoal fires, but it is windy here, and the car walls are not thick enough after all. Qi Yubai was not wearing a wedding dress, but wrapped a blanket around his body, leaning against the car window Looking at the book, I repeatedly calculated the odds of winning this time in my heart.
But no matter how he calculates, the chances of winning are very low. If he can wait another year in the capital, he won't be so passive.
The eagle flew up and landed on a tree in the evening. When the bamboo tube was taken off, it was handed to the side of the carriage: "Your Highness, news from Beijing."
Qi Yubai unfolded the note, looked at the handwriting on it, and joy appeared in his eyes: King Nanxi died of illness.
Since you died of illness, you don't need to marry, and you won't have any worries after that.
The fast horse galloped and smashed the flying snow, and the news went straight to Beijing: "Your Majesty, the sixth prince of Nanxi has succeeded to the throne and requested to continue the marriage."
"What?" Emperor Shang Jing frowned, "This marriage is to marry his father."
"Your Majesty, there is a custom in Nanxi that a son whose father dies can marry his wife. The king of Nanxi said that he was just sending off his relatives, but the ceremony was not completed. The left and right sides will have to marry each other in the future. It is better to do it now, and still use the position of queen as an appointment, so there is no need to go back and forth. Already." The man who reported it said.
"Absurd, how can one daughter serve two husbands? This wind is extremely disruptive to human relations." The minister said, "How can the princess bear it?"
"At that time, I also said that marrying the King of Nanxi, if the etiquette is not completed, the marriage is not considered settled. The King of Nanxi is right." Emperor Shang Jing asked, "How old is the King of Nanxi now?"
"Eighteen." The humane way of reporting.
"It's not better than marrying your predecessor." Emperor Shang Jing opened the memorial and frowned, "He also wants Wen Ruizhuo, the son of Prime Minister Wen, as a dowry?"
Wen Xiang's expression changed drastically: "Why?"
"It is said that Shang Chao is suspected of going back on his word." The person who reported it bowed his head.
Wen Xiang's expression was in a trance for a moment: "Your Majesty, there may be spies from Nanxi Kingdom in the court."
He might have known about the fact that he wanted the princess back that day, so he would say such a thing.
"Sure enough, it's a wolf's ambition, not enough greed." Emperor Shang Jing jumped up against the case, "Mr. Wen, what is the chance for me to win against Nanxi now?"
"I'm afraid it's less than [-]%." Wen Xiang was slumped when he heard the words, feeling quite tearful, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has only one son."
"We are sorry for Wen Xiang, but it is just a dowry. I will make him an uncle. If I want to come to Nanxi, I won't be too hard on him as a man." Emperor Shang Jing sighed.
Wen Xiang sighed tremblingly: "So... Thank you, Your Majesty."
Even the princess can be sent to marry him, so what does his son matter.
When the imperial decree was issued, the young man in the prime minister's mansion was still a little dazed when he received Xie En. When he left, he carefully looked at the imperial decree and said, "Why is this?"
He looks gentle and elegant, very similar to Wen Xiang's temperament. He was originally a celebrity, but now he feels panicked.
"This is my father's fault." Wen Xiangchang sighed, "I thought about King Nanxi's death, so I should let the princess come back, but I didn't want to annoy the new King of Nanxi, Zhuo Er, my father can't help you. .”
"It has nothing to do with my father. The princess and her parents are already in a difficult situation. Now they have to remarry, but His Majesty has agreed." Wen Ruizhuo said while pinching the imperial decree.
"Zhuo'er." Wen Xiang reminded.
"Er is not questioning the Holy Majesty, but lamenting that he will not be able to perform filial piety at his knees in the future." Wen Ruizhuo knelt down.
"Your Majesty enshrined you as uncle. Although it is a dowry, the King of Nanxi should not be masculine. You have to bear with it. There will always be a day of return." Wen Xiang knelt down and helped him up.
"Yes." Wen Ruizhuo replied.
"The capital is in chaos, and the Wen family doesn't want to be in the muddy water. You can go to Nanxi to avoid it." Wen Xiang urged, "Although the princess is a queen, she is in a foreign country. You are a man, although you don't have to Always pay attention, but if you are wronged there, you must protect each other."
"Father doesn't like the queen mother and daughter?" Wen Ruizhuo frowned.
Wen Xiang sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you until now, the married person is the Fifth Princess, don't tell outsiders about this, just know it yourself."
Wen Ruizhuo showed a surprised expression, then suppressed it and said, "Yes, father."
Marriage was on the agenda again. Although Wen Ruizhuo was a dowry, he had to set off as soon as possible. The carriages were all ready. The young man under the new willow stood there and handed the jade pendant around his waist to the man opposite him.
The man was dressed in off-white cloud brocade, without any extravagant accessories, with a folding fan on his waist, and only a silver hairpin on his head. His eyebrows were like stars, but he was extremely elegant. He didn't look like a prince, but like a literati who indulged in mountains and rivers .
"Brother Jin, this is my personal jade pendant." Wen Ruizhuo looked at him and said, "Leave it as a thought for you, if you can come back... Forget it, just think about it."
They have communicated with each other, but they don't know when they will return from this trip, but they can't delay him.
Qi Mujin took it over and said: "You don't have to worry, although it's a dowry, I will beg Wen Xiang to ask His Majesty to let you come back earlier."
Wen Ruizhuo responded, "Yes."
"I have always carried this fan. Although it is not as valuable as your jade pendant, let's think about it." Qi Mujin handed over the folding fan at his waist, "I will wait for you in the capital."
"Okay." Wen Ruizhuo took the folding fan, pursed his lips tightly when he turned around, and stepped into the carriage.
Can't look back, otherwise he must be reluctant.
The horse carriage traveled, and three thousand Imperial Forest Army guards left the capital in a mighty way.
The wedding party stayed where they were and waited for the news. They did not go forward because King Nanxi died, and they did not return at random because they had to obey His Majesty's edict.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the imperial decree to return to Beijing must be on the way." Lan Yue comforted.
Qi Yubai's joy was gone, and he sat in the post station and looked out the window at the branches that had melted the snow, and sprouts had sprouted on them: "Prepare for the worst."
It's spring.
It is good to be able to go back, but just in case, King Nanxi died strangely, and several successors also died one after another. That Prince Mu Lun is definitely not a kind person.
At night, the snow fell, tick-tock, Qi Yubai didn't sleep well all night, and at dawn he heard the sound of soldiers and horses.
When he sat up, Lan Yue dressed and said, "Your Highness, wait a moment, I'll go and have a look."
Tossing and going back and forth, three thousand soldiers had surrounded the station, Qi Yubai's heart sank when he was cleaning up, and the eunuch entered the room to declare: "...the new king of Nanxi is willing to hire him as a queen. The king of the stream has become a ceremony, and I promise to move on and marry the new king of Nanxi, making Qin and Jin a good friend."
When the decree was delivered, Qi Yubai knelt down and said nothing, and reached out to take it after a while: "...Thank you for your kindness."
After the substitute marriage, there will be remarriage, and his father really made the best use of everything.
The Xuanzhi eunuch left, Lan Yue supported him and said, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"Three thousand imperial guards are afraid that I will run away." Qi Yubai stood in front of the window and said, "This time there is no chance of winning."
The trip to Nanxi is imperative, and since he is going, he should do something he should do.
"Your Highness..."
Qi Yubai said: "There is no need to think about this matter."
This matter cannot be escaped. If he escapes, Nanxi will have a hard time. It is a matter of two countries. It is not just that he is alone. He cannot take the throne and can no longer involve the people. Otherwise, even if he takes the throne in the future, he will feel ashamed.
"Yes." Lan Yue bowed her head and stepped back.
The wedding procession moved forward, becoming more and more powerful, and everyone who met them gave way one after another.
"Princess, I have the honor to meet Prince Mu Lun. This man is quite methodical, his emotions are not visible, and his thoughts are deep, but he is more reasonable than the previous King of Nanxi." Tian Zhan said softly outside the window of the accompanying carriage, "He is quite skilled in martial arts, and Lian Chen was picked off the horse in only three strokes. The princess should be more cautious, and he should not make things difficult for you."
"Thank you." Qi Yubai thought about it.
He would let Wen Ruizhuo marry as a dowry just because Prime Minister Wen suggested that he should go back, which shows that he is narrow-minded and reasonable?If you can get him to remarry, you probably won't be able to reason with women.
The snow on the grassland has melted, and the new buds have emerged. The place where the king's tent was buried has changed from the previous funeral. The newly built king's tent is mainly red, spacious and comfortable, and full of joy.
"Prince Mulun really wants to marry Princess Shang as queen?"
"That's the real princess, so it's right."
"Isn't my Nanxi country messing up bloodlines?"
"You still dare to talk about bloodlines, are you not afraid of losing your head? The prince said that in the commercial exchanges between the two countries, we must extract the essence and discard the dross, so as to maximize our strengths and avoid weaknesses. It is even more prosperous than it was in the ancient dynasty."
"Heroes don't ask where they come from, but the blood of the former king is right. Can he feed you and clothe you warmly?"
"The prince said that the more confident people are, the more they will discriminate and look down on others. Those who have difficulties in their hearts are all humble and good at learning. This is still the case. I, Nanxi, don't have to follow their style."
"..."
The surroundings of the king's tent were constantly arranged, and hundreds of fast horses galloped on the grassland, heading towards Humen Pass.
Looking at the city gate, the leader pulled the reins, and the horse neighed. When it landed, the gold, jade and agate beads on the side of the hair were as if in the hair, and the smile was already deep in the eyes.
"Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood." The accompanying person laughed.
"Your Majesty came to pick you up in person, so you are naturally in a good mood." Another person said.
"It is rumored that Princess Na Siqi is the most beautiful woman in the world, so the newlyweds are naturally anxious." The others laughed.
Shen Chun looked back and said with a smile: "You have a good sentence, and the newlyweds are naturally anxious."
The others laughed.
There was a whistling sound from the city wall, Shen Chun responded with a whistle, and the city wall was overjoyed: "It's the king! Open the city gate!"
The gates of the city were thrown wide open, and the knights passed through.
After Shang Dynasty's mighty battle passed Louguan, Tian Zhan sighed softly, knowing that there was no turning back: "Princess, I should arrive at Humen Pass in two days, you should take care of it."
"I know." Qi Yubai knelt in the car and put on his wedding dress. Lan Yue painted his eyebrows and temples for him. Even if he really married in at Humen Pass, I don't know how long he can be fooled by his current status, but these things Time is enough to kill the king of Nanxi and cause chaos in Nanxi.
The people of Nanxi are the people, and the people of his dynasty are also the people. How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch.
With the hijab on, the step rocked as the carriage swayed lightly, the terrain was already uneven.
The sound of horseshoes was heard in front of the convoy, and the guards in the convoy sounded: "Who is it?!"
"Princess, I'm going to find out what happened." Tian Zhance immediately said, "Don't fight yet!"
The smoke and dust billowed in front of him, and hundreds of knights came in the setting sun. The leader rode a black horse with flying mane, and the cloak on his body fluttered accordingly. When he approached, he could already see the lazy and romantic eyebrows.
The fierce horse roared, passed through the soldiers in front, and all the long spears stretched out when he raised the knife were broken.
"Stop! Stop!" Tian Zhan was too late to stop him, and saw the fierce horse approaching the car.
"The King of Nanxi is here to pick up the bride!" The accompanying deputy general was also stunned, and quickly raised his voice.
The two sides stopped, Shen Chun's horse had passed countless soldiers, and arrived at the most conspicuous and spacious car.
At that moment, Tian Zhan felt his head was going to explode. He acted calmly and showed no emotions, it seemed that he was lying. This man was so reckless that he didn't seem to come to pick up the bride, but came to snatch her.
The sound of the horse's hooves stopped outside the car, and after two kicks, Qi Yubai heard the sound of the horse and knew that it was an excellent horse.
"The King of Nanxi came to pick up the bride." Shen Chun looked at the carriage and managed to control himself not to open the door directly.
Lan Yue was originally protecting her, so she inevitably got a little angry when she heard this: "Your Highness, wait a moment."
She leaned out the door and said: "The king is reckless, and he is not afraid of scaring the princess!"
Such turmoil, it is obvious that they are rough guys who don't know how to cherish others, and General Tian Zhan even said they are gentlemen.
However, when her eyes fell on the horseman, her words froze.
The man wears gold and jade and a cape with a fur collar. Although it is different from the Central Plains people's attire, he is handsome and romantic in the setting sun and setting sun, without any sense of roughness.
"Sorry, it's just that the sun is about to set at this time, if it's too late, the icy road will be difficult to walk at night." Shen Chun said.
"...So that's the case." Lan Yue turned her head to look at the people in the carriage, "But there is no need to come near this carriage."
"The wall of this carriage is thin, and it can't withstand the cold wind outside the Great Wall. It's unnecessary." Shen Chun smiled, "Please ask the princess to transfer."
The deputy general handed over the handwriting, and grandiosely took away the dowry.
"The general will still send the princess somewhere." Tian Zhan said with a frown.
"The grassland is full of swamps now, you can't come out after entering." The lieutenant general said, "It's better to stay here."
"Princess?" Lan Yue entered the car door and asked.
"Thank you, my lord, let's change trains." Qi Yubai said.
Although caught off guard, this is just the result, and it is the same at any time.
"Slow down." Lan Yue opened the curtain, Qi Yubai saw a hand stretched out in front of her when she stepped forward.
The man's finger bones are long and slender, covered with cocoons, and he is very powerful at first glance. Once he enters another country, it is the rule according to the people of other countries.
Qi Yubai took a deep breath and climbed up. The first day he fell, his hands were already clenched, and the warm and dry feeling passed through him, which made him a little excited.
"Sure enough, it's freezing." Shen Chun's heart agitated, and he even felt a little impatient. People say that a little goodbye is better than a newlywed, and it really makes sense.
He exerted force on his hands, but before Qi Yubai could answer, he fell into his arms unexpectedly, and subconsciously grabbed his fur collar.
Lan Yue exclaimed: "Princess!"
"I won't fall you." Shen Chun hugged him tightly, wrapped his cloak around him and said with a smile.
Qi Yubai's body suddenly became warm, and he was forced to lean against his arms. He could feel the firmness of his chest, but there was no peculiar smell of raw hair and blood drinking as imagined, only the smell of green grass: "Is this the custom of the king?"
"Didn't Shang Chao pay attention to women not getting their feet off the ground before they get married?" Shen Chun lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the horse walked forward.
"Does Your Majesty want to go to Nanxi like this?" Qi Yubai had never been so close to a person before, and this person's aura was too strong.
"I have prepared a carriage for you, and all your attendants must take it with you. Rest at Humen Pass tonight, and leave tomorrow." Shen Chun rode his horse to the carriage he was carrying, and carried him down when he got off the horse.
The person in his arms is quite light, much lighter than ordinary men, and he must have suffered a lot to pretend to be a woman for many years.
Qi Yubai supported his shoulders, put his arms on the accessories he was wearing, and the next moment he could see his eyes moving, the other party landed on the carriage as lightly as if there was nothing, and put him into the carriage.
The man from Nanxi has ridden a horse since he was a child, and his strength and agility are really extraordinary.
Qi Yubai touched the soft blanket and sat quietly, unexpectedly felt that it was as warm as spring, without the slightest bit of cold wind.
Shen Chun half-kneeled beside Che Huan and looked at the newcomers, he was sitting very dignified, with jade fingers crossed, he really looked like a woman, obviously he had been subjected to a lot of rules in the palace.
[Host, measure. 】07 reminded.
Shen Chun smiled and said: "You rest here, if you feel that the hairpin is thick and can be removed, call me if you need something."
"Yes." Qi Yubai replied.
Although his words were polite, his tone was very cold. Shen Chun put down the curtain and got out of the car, got on the horse, barely suppressed the urgency in his heart, and let out a breath against the cold wind.
The person is about to be obtained, and other things can be done slowly. If he doesn't count on his words, he will be locked up for another ten years when he returns to the original world.
Lan Yue got into the carriage, and there were not many attendants accompanying Qi Yubai, but Wen Ruizhuo had quite a few attendants.
"Everything is packed." The lieutenant reported.
"Farewell." Shen Chun saluted, rode his horse and said, "Let's go!"
The convoy moved on and left the garrison, Tian Zhan looked at the people going away and sighed.
If you are so anxious, you should be more patient with the princess.
But before, he didn't see that he was such a anxious person.
"Princess, this carriage is warm." Lan Yue said while sitting in one of the carriages.
"It should be sealed with fur." Qi Yubai said while touching the soft fur on the bottom of his feet.
This should be wolf fur. There are a lot of wolves herding sheep in the grassland. In such a cold place, it is normal to use wolf fur to keep out the cold.
I don't know how to deal with this thing, it feels soft and has no peculiar smell.
"Are you going to take off the hairpin?" Lan Yue asked.
Qi Yubai noticed that her attitude was slightly different, and said tensely, "No need."
That person seemed to be impetuous today, but he can't pretend to be a man of force. He can attack Humen Pass and seize the throne.
It is such a short period of time that Lanyue's attitude can change, which shows that she has deep thoughts and cannot be fooled by her attitude and slack off.
The carriage entered Humen Pass at nightfall, Qi Yubai relaxed his body when he was carried off this time and said, "Thank you."
"You and I, husband and wife, don't need to thank you." Shen Chun hugged the man and smiled.
Qi Yubai: "..."
frivolous.
He was placed on the couch, and even though he was covered with a veil, he could still feel the scrutinizing gaze, and when he was about to speak, he heard him say: "It's been a long journey, take a good rest."
"Yes." Qi Yubai replied.
Shen Chun turned and left, Lan Yue closed the door when she entered and said, "Princess, do you want to wash up now?"
"Yeah." Qi Yubai took off the hijab and said.
After a night's rest, after leaving the Humen Pass, you will see the vast grassland, with the sound of the wind whistling, far away
