Zhao Lihua looks like this, even an iron man would melt. Song Zhenzong's anger disappeared instantly, and he said helplessly: "My brother naturally hopes that my little sister can marry the person he likes! But who told us to be in the royal family? Although we have the glory and wealth that countless people are extremely envious of, we have lost the most important thing. The happiness that ordinary people can have! We can’t just think about ourselves! Just like my brother has to make someone he doesn’t like his queen, it’s hard for a princess like you to marry someone you like! Do you understand?”
Zhao Lihua nodded bitterly. Song Zhenzong smiled and said: "Actually, I won't treat my precious little sister badly. Therefore, the husband I chose for my little sister is definitely an outstanding person today!"
Zhao Lihua smiled bitterly and said in her heart: No one can compare to Li Lang!
Song Zhenzong said: "Do you know King Yan? The husband I chose for you is him! I didn't lie to you, right?" Zhao Lihua couldn't help but be moved, "Could it be the King of Yan who recently led the Yanyun Army to defeat the Goryeo and Khitan people? Yang Peng?" Song Zhenzong smiled and nodded. Zhao Lihua showed disdain, "Just a common man!" Song Zhenzong said hurriedly: "Little sister, this matter is related to our great Song Dynasty! Yang Peng is the king of Yan, and his subordinate Yan Yun The army is the best in the world, and even the Khitans are afraid of it! Therefore..." Zhao Lihua sneered: "So I have to use me to win him over in order to stabilize the Song Dynasty!"
Song Zhenzong choked and didn't know what to say for a moment. Zhao Lihua sighed and said resignedly: "Since it concerns the Song Dynasty, how can I refuse?" Song Zhenzong was overjoyed and asked: "My little sister agreed?" Zhao Lihua nodded. Song Zhenzong stood up immediately, "Then I will immediately inform Yousi and prepare relevant matters!" He said before leaving.
"Wait a minute!" Song Zhenzong stopped and looked at Zhao Lihua in confusion. Zhao Lihua stood up and said with a slight blush: "Before that, I want to meet Mr. Ni!"
"Master Ni?" "It's Ni Chengmou who is second in the Enke list this time." Song Zhenzong suddenly realized, "It turns out to be him!" He hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter!" Zhao Lihua said sadly: "Little My sister is willing to sacrifice herself to help her brother, isn't my brother willing to help her this time? I don't want much, I just want to see him!"
Song Zhenzong hesitated for a while, nodded and said, "Okay." He looked at Zhao Lihua and warned, "Just to meet you!" Zhao Lihua nodded. Song Zhenzong returned to his study and sent for Li Te, the minister of etiquette, and ordered him to prepare immediately for the marriage ambassador. Immediately, an imperial envoy was sent to Yanjing by water to inform Chen Xiao about the marriage.
After doing this, Song Zhenzong thought of what Zhao Lihua had asked for and felt very embarrassed. He was really worried that Zhao Lihua would not be able to control herself and do something inappropriate with Ni Chengmou in her emotion. In that case, this matter would become a joke; not only that, he was afraid that King Yan would also become angry with shame. I'm afraid the marriage will be self-defeating. Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty could not decide, so he summoned Grand Master Pang for discussion. Taishi Pang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is easy. Your Highness the Princess just caught a glimpse of Ni Chengmou and fell in love with him when they were parading in the street. It's no big deal. As for Ni Chengmou, I have met this person before. He is a very sensible young man. As long as the stakes are clearly stated, people will never dare to take a step beyond the bounds!"
Song Zhenzong nodded and immediately summoned Ni Chengmou. Ni Chengmou was very excited, wondering if there was any good job about to be sent to him! ? When he saw the emperor, he quickly danced and knelt down.
Song Zhenzong said: "Ni Qing, there is no need to be polite!" "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ni Chengmou stood up. Song Zhenzong stood up and walked to Ni Chengmou. Ni Chengmou quickly bowed down, looking extremely respectful. Song Zhenzong nodded with satisfaction, "Do you know that Princess Lihua likes you?"
Ni Chengmou was overjoyed, his heart was beating with excitement, and he felt as if he was flying into the clouds. "But for the sake of the country and the country, I decided to marry Princess Lihua to King Yang Peng of Yan!" When Ni Chengmou heard this, he felt as if someone had kicked him down from the clouds. He was dizzy and reacted for a moment. Don't come.
"I have talked with Princess Lihua. She has decided to marry King Yan, which means that she is now King Yan's fiancée. However, she put forward a condition, hoping to meet you before getting married. "
Ni Chengmou said: "Princess, I really, really fell in love with the wrong person!" "Lihua did fall in love with the wrong person! But Lihua is my favorite little sister, so I have to satisfy her request! But I want to remind you that I will see the princess later. You must not have any deviant words or deeds, otherwise not to mention the fame and wealth you have obtained now, even your head will be in danger!"
Ni Chengmou felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I will never dare to go out of line!" Song Zhenzong nodded, "I'm sorry you don't dare either!" Then he said to the old eunuch Wang Jin beside him: "Take Ni Qing over." The eunuch responded. Ni Chengmou stood up, bowed to Song Zhenzong, and then left with the old eunuch Wang Jin.
Ni Chengmou followed the old eunuch to Zhao Lihua's palace. When the maids saw that he was the old eunuch beside the emperor, they did not dare to neglect and saluted quickly: "I have met my father-in-law!" The old eunuch said: "That's all. Get up." All the maids responded. He stood up with a cry and looked at Ni Chengmou with curiosity and interest.
The old eunuch told several palace maids: "This is the second in the new department. According to His Majesty's instructions, the Zhang family specially brought him to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. You can take him there." Several palace maids responded. The old eunuch turned his head and warned Li Chengmou: "Be careful! Otherwise, you won't get the good fruit!" Ni Chengmou quickly bowed and agreed. The old eunuch waved his hand, and Ni Chengmou followed the maids there.
When Ni Chengmou saw Zhao Lihua, he was immediately shocked. Then he thought that the princess was originally in love with him, but now she had to marry that hateful Yang Peng, and he couldn't help but feel crazy!
"Princess, Mr. Ni is here." A palace maid informed the princess. Zhao Lihua quickly raised her head. Seeing that the person in the boudoir dream really appeared in front of me, I couldn't help but be very excited. Ni Chengmou paid homage and said, "The humble minister Ni Chengmou has met Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Zhao Lihua couldn't help but burst into tears. She felt that although she was so close, she was far away! How fate plays tricks on people! At this moment, how she wished that she was not a noble princess, but a woman from a commoner family. In that case, maybe she would not have such helplessness. Zhao Lihua barely suppressed her excitement and said to the palace maids: "You guys step back." The palace ladies responded and retreated.
After the maids left, Zhao Lihua suddenly threw herself into Ni Chengmou's arms and began to cry. Ni Chengmou was flattered, and then he felt infinite resentment in his heart, blaming Chen Xiao, blaming fate, and blaming the emperor. Zhao Lihua raised her tearful eyes and begged: "Master Li, can you take me away?"
Ni Chengmou was startled, and quickly lowered his head and said: "This, how can this be done!" Zhao Lihua's face turned pale, "Don't you like me?" Ni Chengmou quickly raised his head, "No, no, princess! The princess is in my heart. Just like Chang'e in the Moon Palace, to be favored by the princess is a blessing obtained by the three generations of Weichen!" Zhao Lihua's beautiful face turned red, and her heart was filled with joy. Ni Chengmou couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhao Lihua like this. It's not that he has never seen a beautiful girl, on the contrary, he has even seen the legendary oiran Zhao Xiangxiang. However, Zhao Lihua's appearance is not inferior to Zhao Xiangxiang, and she has a noble temperament that is completely different from Zhao Xiangxiang. In front of her , I am afraid it is difficult for a man to maintain a peaceful mind.
Ni Chengmou suddenly became unwilling to accept that such a peerless beauty was very likely to marry him, but because of Yang Peng, everything turned into a dream. Ni Chengmou felt an impulse surge in his heart and said to Zhao Lihua: "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess favors Weichen, Weichen hereby swears to God that he will take the Princess as his wife and live forever for the rest of his life! Let heaven witness this oath!" Zhao Lihua was so excited! With tears streaming down my face, I felt that my love was not in vain after all!
"But princess, with the current situation, even if the minister wants to elope with the princess, I'm afraid he can't do it!" Zhao Lihua was very distressed, "What should we do?" Ni Chengmou said: "Your Highness, for the sake of our reunion in the future, I can only temporarily wrong the princess!..." Zhao Lihua's face turned pale, "You want me to hand it over to Yang Peng?!"
Ni Chengmou said quickly: "This is only temporary! Only when the princess gets there can I try to save the princess from the fire pit! Otherwise, we will be separated forever! To be honest, your majesty has warned you just now, If I have any deviant words or deeds, I will be executed! But I am deeply in love with the princess, how can I ignore my own conscience! That’s why I risked my life to express my feelings to the princess!" Zhao Lihua was extremely moved.
Ni Chengmou said with tears streaming down his face: "Princess, we two have no strength to resist your majesty's arrangement. In order to meet again in the future, we can only ask the princess to temporarily wrong ourselves! I swear that I will rescue the princess in the near future. Then It’s us who travel far and wide to enjoy the carefree life of gods!” Zhao Lihua hesitated for a while, then nodded helplessly.
Ni Chengmou was overjoyed and quickly took off the landscape jade pendant hanging from his waist and handed it to Zhao Lihua, saying: "The road ahead is long, the princess treasures it. An inch of white jade is my true heart!" Zhao Lihua held the jade pendant tightly. …
Ni Chengmou returned to the study and bowed: "Wei Chen has already met Her Royal Highness the Princess! I have explained everything clearly, and the princess will not miss Wei Chen anymore!" The emperor smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, you do it. Very good. Please step back first." "Wei Chen excuses himself." He bowed and then left the study. …
Yang Peng heard that the imperial envoy from the imperial court was coming and hurried to the hall. When he discovered that the imperial envoy was actually Li Te, he couldn't help but be very surprised. He clasped his fists and said, "Brother Li, are you okay?" Li Te clasped his fists with a smile and said, "TOEFL, TOEFL!"
Yang Peng asked Wang Anzhong to sit down, and the two sat down on both sides of a coffee table. At this time, Jiang Li brought two bowls of tea and stood behind Yang Peng. Yang Peng said with a smile: "We don't have any good tea here compared to the south, so you are neglecting us!" Li Te picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then nodded and said: "It's very good, very good! Although it doesn't have the refreshing flavor of the famous southern tea, it still has the refreshing flavor." It has a strong tea fragrance, and it can be said that spring, orchids, autumn and chrysanthemums are good at winning each other!" Then he smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Brother, Brother Yu is here to tell you the good news this time!" Yang Peng asked with a smile: "I'm happy to follow you. Where did it come from?"
Li Te took out an imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Peng, smiling and saying: "I will know after reading it." Yang Peng took the edict with curiosity and opened it to read. The previous paragraph was full of formulaic nonsense, but when Yang Peng saw the sentence "Princess Lihua is specially given to marry King Yang Peng of Yan", he was really surprised. He quickly looked at Li Te, "Brother Li, Your Majesty wants to marry Princess Lihua to me?"
Li Te smiled and said: "Exactly! Isn't this a great joy? Not only is my brother now powerful in the world, but he is also a relative of the emperor!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Brother Li is making fun of you!" When he said this, he felt in his heart But he was thinking about the emperor's purpose of doing this and the possible impact of this matter. Li Te said: "The procession of sending off the bride will leave in a month. I must be prepared to receive the bride. Don't be rude and let some people in the DPRK take advantage of it!"
Yang Peng nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Li, for reminding me!" Li Te smiled and said, "What difference do you and I have between brothers? This 'thank you' is too foreign!" Yang Peng laughed loudly, "Brother Wang said You're right, you and I won't be polite! Brother Li finally came to Yanyun, so he must stay for a few more days! Although Yanyun is not as beautiful as Jiangnan, the mountains and rivers are magnificent and have their own charm. I will accompany you Brother Wang walked around, admiring the local customs and customs here!" Li Te smiled and clasped his fists: "Brother Yu, I understand my kindness! However, the emperor's life is on my side, so I have to return to the court immediately! I'll come back to bother you next time. Bar!"
Yang Peng sighed, "If that's the case, then I won't keep Brother Li." Li Te stood up, and Yang Peng also stood up when he saw this. Wang Anzhong cupped his fists and said, "Brother, Brother Yu, I'm leaving now!" "I'll see Brother Li off." Yang Peng winked at Jiang Li, who understood and immediately left the hall. Yang Peng and Li Te came to the gate while talking. Li Te remembered something and asked: "I wonder if the supervisor Xue Dongpan is in the city?" Yang Peng said: "He went to inspect the northern line. Brother Li asked him if he had something?" Li Te looked around, leaned closer and whispered He said: "Your Majesty specially ordered me to ask about Xue Dongpan. This was instigated by some ministers in the court. They believed that Xue Dongpan had been killed."
"Oh? I have no grudges against those adults. Why do they want to frame me?" Yang Peng said with some annoyance.
Li Te smiled coldly, "That's how the imperial court is! If there wasn't conflict with each other, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the imperial court!" Then he said, "Brother, don't take this matter to heart. Brother Yu will explain it in front of your majesty for me." "Then. Thank you so much, Brother Li!" At this time Jiang Li came over holding a mahogany box. Yang Peng took the wooden box from Jiang Li and handed it to Li Te. Li Te quickly refused: "This is not good!" Yang Peng said: "This is my idea. Brother Wang must accept it! Otherwise, you don't treat me as a brother!" Wang Anzhong said with a smile: "In that case, then Brother Yu is so ashamed!" He then took the wooden box and handed it to a close confidant beside him.
Li Te turned around and clasped his fists and said, "Brother, Brother Yu, farewell!" Yang Peng clasped his fists and said, "Good go, Brother Li!" Li Te boarded the carriage, waved goodbye to Yang Peng, and then walked among a few cronies and a few He left surrounded by ten guard sergeants.
Yang Peng looked at the back of the carriage and frowned slightly, then ordered Jiang Li: "Go and invite Mr. Qian and Mr. Zuo." Jiang Li responded and immediately left the residence. Soon after, Qian Letian and Zuo Mou hurried to the lobby of the left-behind mansion. When they saw Yang Peng, they all bowed down and saluted.
Yang Peng handed the two people the imperial edict he had just received. When the two saw this, they were curious. Qian Letian quickly took the imperial edict with both hands, opened it, read it over, showing great surprise, and then handed the imperial edict to Zuo Mou. Zuo Mou read it over and said with a smile: "What a great joy! Congratulations, lord!"
Yang Peng said angrily: "Stop talking weird, I want to hear your opinions!" The two looked at each other, and Qian Letian said: "This must be the emperor's way of winning over Lord Ji!" Zuo Mou nodded, " Yes, Yan Yun is now powerful for all to see, and it is reasonable for the emperor to want to win over the lord!"
Yang Peng frowned and said: "I have already thought of this." He raised his head and glanced at the two of them, "What I want to know is, what impact will this matter have on me and Yan Yun?" Zuo Mou thought: " After such a marriage, the lord and Zhao Song will become a family. If the lord wants to replace Zhao Song in the future, it will be morally unjustifiable!" Yang Peng frowned and nodded, "Is there anything else?" Qian Letian said: "It should only have such an impact. This is also the role of the marriage policy!"
"What if I don't accept it?"
The two of them couldn't help frowning, Qian Letian clasped his fists and said: "If the Lord does not accept it, it is tantamount to showing that he does not surrender to the imperial court!" Zuo Mou continued: "In this case, we and the imperial court are not allies, but They are enemies! The situation will be more complicated and unfavorable! My subordinates believe that for now, it is not necessary to break up with the court, and they can use the emperor's marriage policy to dispel the court's doubts!" Qian Letian agreed: "good!"
Yang Peng returned to his desk and sat down, thought for a moment, and sighed, "To be honest, I am very unwilling to accept such a marriage!" He smiled bitterly, "A man and a woman go to bed together because they each have their own agenda. , what’s going on!”
Zuo Mou couldn't help sighing: "This is the helplessness of the superior!" Then he clasped his fists and said: "Please put the overall situation first and accept the marriage from the court!" Qian Letian also requested: "Zuo Mou is right. , Lord, please put the overall situation first!" Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment and nodded helplessly. The two couldn't help but feel happy. Yang Peng looked at Zuo Mou and ordered: "Zuo Mou, prepare yourself, and then go to Bianjing for me to thank me!" "Yes!" Zuo Mou clasped his fists in agreement.
Yang Peng came to the back garden, strolled while thinking, and walked into Zhao Jinxi's yard unknowingly. I couldn't help but stop, raised my head, and saw the beautiful figure under the moon cave window from a distance. Zhao Jinxi was sitting in a daze under the moon cave window, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yang Peng walked into the embroidery building. At this time, Xiaofang was leaving in a hurry. She looked up and saw Yang Peng. She was startled and quickly bowed her head. Yang Peng found that her expression was a little strange. Coming behind Zhao Jinxi and looking at her soft and peaceful back, Yang Peng's heart was filled with tender feelings. He gently hugged Zhao Jinxi's slender waist from behind. Zhao Jinxi came to his senses in shock and said angrily: "Why did you come to see me?!" Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Why are you so angry! Who on earth offended our Jin Xi?" Zhao Jinxi pushed Yang Peng away and said angrily: "You are you and I am me! Don't talk as if we have anything to do with each other!"
Yang Peng was already a little upset. He originally expected to come here to relax, but he didn't expect to be met with such a disgrace. He immediately became angry and roared: "Well said! Since it doesn't matter, I will take care of you tomorrow." Send it to Tianjing New City!" Yuluo left angrily.
Zhao Jinxi was stunned for a moment, and then he was overcome with sadness. Tears welled up uncontrollably, and he lay on the dressing table and began to cry. Xiaofang rushed in. Seeing the young lady like this, she couldn't help but panic. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Miss, why are you crying?" Zhao Jinxi became even more sad when he heard this and threw himself into Xiaofang's cry. Said: "Big brother doesn't want me anymore! Big brother doesn't want me anymore!" Xiaofang was startled, and then quickly comforted her: "Miss, please stop thinking so wildly! How could King Yan not want young lady? King Yan likes young lady so much. !" Zhao Jinxi cried and shook his head.
After a while, Zhao Jinxi's mood calmed down a little, and he left Xiaofang's arms, sobbing with red and swollen eyes: "Xiaofang, go clean up, let's go to Tianjing New City." At this point, tears welled up again. Xiaofang was surprised when she saw that the young lady was actually leaving. She quickly comforted her: "Miss, please don't act out of anger! You love King Yan so much, you will definitely regret it in the future!" Zhao Jinxi said angrily and sadly at the same time. : "Since he doesn't want me anymore, why should I stay here? Since he wants me to leave, then I will leave. I never want to see him again!" He stood up and stumbled towards the closet. Xiaofang quickly stepped forward to help.
Zhao Jinxi threw all the clothes that Yang Peng had given her these days on the bed, and only packed away her few old clothes. Seeing this situation, Xiaofang couldn't help but sigh secretly, but she was helpless. "Xiaofang, go and pack my jewelry. Remember, I only need the few pieces of jewelry I have, and I don't need the rest." Xiaofang responded and ran to the dressing table. Looking at the various splendid jewelry on the dressing table, I can't help but be filled with emotion. Looking at so many beautiful and exquisite jewelry, we can see how much King Yan loves the lady, but how did the two of them get into such a quarrel? Xiaofang sighed while picking out the old jewelry and wrapping them up.
Turning around, I saw the young lady sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze holding a silk handkerchief, tears constantly falling from her eyes. Xiaofang recognized the silk handkerchief. It was the lady's treasure. It was embroidered with two love poems given to the lady by King Yan! I think how good the two of us were back then! Hey, why did all this change suddenly? ! Xiaofang couldn't help but hate the emperor, and then she hated Yang Peng!
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
