Xiang Run laughed: ”It's not that I have that intention, it's that the king of Xiluo wishes to marry us, but look at that blue-eyed prince. Among all the countries of the Central Plains, his position in the clan of Xiluo is equivalent to a concubine that is born in a concubine. Do you know, the succession to the Xiluo has been in line since birth, men and women can all be emperors, regardless of virtue or folly, according to the status and age of their birth, as long as they have royal bloodline, they can even inherit the throne to become a member of the royal family? This way, this blue-eyed prince can be ranked who knows where. Although it is honorable, it is insignificant in the Xiluo. To go to sea and travel such a dangerous place, no nation would send their important Crown Prince there. ”
Siyan understood and asked seriously, ”So the Emperor doesn't think much of it?”
The emperor shook his head. ”Of course he has to speak. He should have given the marriage contract to me the moment he arrived at the capital. If he does not speak, then what is there for me to be anxious about?” If you don't like it, then say something else. ”
Siyan muttered to herself for a while and asked, ”If they say yes, will the emperor agree? But the Emperor … That is a distance that we will never be able to return from, and any girl from any clan will be innocent. ”
She even stood up and kneeled beside the emperor, ”Your Majesty, chenqie knows that everything should be done by the imperial government of the country, with the greater picture as the priority. But chenqie is the empress, and chenqie has the responsibility to protect the women of Daqi. Your Majesty, please allow this concubine to plead with you in her mother Daqi Nation to not sacrifice any of us girls. Our Xiluo is too far away, we will never be able to return once we go. ”
The emperor patted the back of her hand and said, ”Yan'Er, go to sleep.”
Although the two of them were lying down, Siyan was unable to sleep. She looked at her husband, not knowing whether he was asleep or not.
She felt that her husband was working very hard as an emperor. It wasn't because he was busy with government affairs or worrying about his country's plans. Just like how he had confessed to her before, he couldn't let go of the burdens in his heart.
Siyan's heart ached, and she turned his body, sticking to his own body. As expected, Xiang Run did not sleep, and so she took the opportunity to embrace her.
The night passed, and within the valley, the chirping of birds woke people up from their dreams. Xiaowan and Hanxi tidied up for a bit and then came out, only to see that the soldiers were already ready.
The warriors under the General Wei were truly disciplined and well-trained.
Ling Chaofeng then said to the two of them: ”Today, we are going deeper so it would be inconvenient to bring you two along. There will be two soldiers here to guard you two, please do not run away. If you are unlucky enough to run into a beast, don't run away with your back to them. It would be better to face them head on. If our auras are frightening enough, perhaps we might have a bit of hope. ”
Xiaowan was afraid in her heart, and did not want Ling Chaofeng to worry about her, so he only asked, ”Husband, will you be coming out today?”
Ling Chaofeng nodded: ”If you're fast, you'll be able to come out after noon. If you're slow, no matter what, you'll be out before nightfall.”
Hanxi stood at the side and did not say a word, but unconsciously, she raised her eyes and looked towards the distant Wei Tengfei.
The mighty and domineering man inadvertently turned his gaze away. Their four eyes met, and Wei Tengfei smiled.
This smile made the timid girl feel overwhelmed. Hanxi hurriedly retracted her gaze, her heart thumping hard, not knowing what had happened.
”Husband, be careful with the general and everyone else.” The Xiaowan warned repeatedly with worry, ”Don't try to be brave.”
Ling Chaofeng laughed: ”I know, listening to my wife's words is a blessing, isn't it?”
Hanxi had seen the two of them acting in such a sweet manner. After the men left, they stood under a nearby tree and picked wild fruits, although Wei Tengfei had brought enough food and fruits to kill the hour.
After chatting for a while, Hanxi said: ”Manager Ling dotes on sister-in-law. The way he looks at you and calls me a unrelated person, makes my heart warm. I've never seen a man look at his wife like that. ”
Xiaowan laughed: ”Where's Ershan, isn't he like that?”
Hanxi shook her head: ”Brother Xingye naturally dotes on sister-in-law. It's just that the house is a mess, I don't have the heart to pay attention to the way he looks at sister-in-law.”
The Xiaowan said: ”There will definitely be people who will look at you like this in the future. Hanxi, you are really good-looking.”
When she talked about how it looked good, she asked Hanxi, ”Before you left the capital, have you ever seen a blue-eyed prince? He came from Xiluo, and stayed in our inn for the night before he went to the capital. I've never seen a man who was so beautiful. He's a man, why do I only want to say he's beautiful when I see him? ”
Hanxi had heard of it, but she had never seen it. Now, she was no longer able to enter and leave the Royal Banquet as she wished, because her brother was a fifth grade teacher, so he was not qualified to bring his family to the banquet. Her father's resignation was also forbidden, and for the rest of the summer, she only cared about going back and forth from the prison everyday to serve her mother.
”It's quite lively in the capital, all the servants in the mansion are talking about it.” Hanxi replied, ”But I've never seen him before.”
”He's been here for a long time. I thought …” Xiaowan did not finish. She still understood the logic and swallowed the words of the marriage alliance.
She took the initiative to say: ”That prince, should be coming to Daqi Nation to propose marriage. It's a pity that we don't have any princesses of the same age, but if we were to choose from amongst the women in the aristocratic families …”
Her eyes lit up as she suddenly thought of something.
