Xiao An smiled and waved, "Okay, let Jingfeng come in quickly. I haven't seen her in a few days."
Princess Zhaoning walked in quickly, lifted her clothes and knelt down to salute.
Seeing this, Xiao An waved his hand, "Okay, Jingfeng, no need to be polite, just stand."
Princess Zhaoning was not too polite and bowed again.
"Father, I went out of the city early this morning and met a group of bandits in Niutou. I led people to fight off the bandits. Guess what, the bandits actually kidnapped a lot of people, and some of them were actually from the palace. I brought the eunuch back, and they said they left the city last night."
Xiao An's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. Xiao Jinfeng said it very implicitly, but it was such a coincidence that the bandit happened to be bumped into by him. Besides, as a princess, she ran more than ten miles to Niutou Ridge early in the morning. How could this be possible? ?
Then again, the princess said it so implicitly, making it clear that she didn't want to expose the matter.
Seeing through things without telling them is the smart way to deal with things. To save face for the emperor is to leave a way out for yourself.
Xiao Fang looked very happy, "Such a thing happened. Yesterday I sent a few people out on errands. I asked them why they didn't come back at night. It turned out that they were kidnapped. These people are really useless. "
"Father, there are dozens of bandits. It's normal that they can't defeat them. By the way, I've sent them back to you. If you don't have anything else to do, Jingfeng will leave."
Xiao An raised his hand, "Jingfeng, you have made such a great contribution, I have to reward you well. Tell me, what do you want?"
Looking at her father, Princess Zhaoning thought for a while, and suddenly she thought, "Father, Jingfeng has a small wish. I don't want to marry the Great Tu Kingdom. Can you marry the Great Tu Kingdom?" The prince cancels the engagement."
After hearing what Princess Zhaoning said, Xiao An's face darkened.
"How can that be done? Don't forget, I once married the princess of the Great Earth Kingdom, so my daughter must also marry the prince of the Great Earth Kingdom."
Princess Zhaoning had already thought of the reason, "But my father and others invaded our country a few days ago, and we have already been at odds with each other."
"Since they don't follow the rules, why should we keep our promises?"
After hearing Princess Zhaoning's words, Xiao An was silent for a while, stopped for half a stick of incense, and took a long breath.
"Let me think about this matter carefully. Please step back first."
After walking out of the palace, Princess Zhaoning turned around to see her eldest brother. After all, she wanted to ask for favors, so she had to do it while it was hot.
Seeing Princess Zhaoning coming, Xiao Jingyun looked very enthusiastic, "Jingfeng, you are here. They came back just now and said thanks to you for leading the rescue. I was about to go to say thank you, and they said you entered the palace."
Princess Zhaoning smiled and nodded, "Yes, I also saved a few of my father's men. If I didn't send them there first, you would be delayed..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jamel Xiao waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay. It doesn't matter to me. Father's side is more important."
"By the way, how did you discover them?"
Princess Zhaoning smiled slightly, repeated what she had just said in the palace, and pretended to be indignant, "At first glance, those men are not good people. They ran away when they saw me. I followed them. I searched for traces and accidentally discovered a cave, so I rescued your men."
After hearing these words, Jamel Xiao remained calm on the surface, but he knew very well in his heart that his sister was secretive and refused to tell the truth, which was actually saving a little face for herself.
He also showed great anger and hammered the table as he moved forward, "I will immediately arrange for people to go out of the city to search along the way, and we must wipe out these bandits."
Princess Zhaoning took advantage of the situation. She was not reserved or polite towards her brother. "Brother, I saved your life, so you must reward me with something."
Jamel Xiao laughed loudly, "Okay, then tell me what you want."
Princess Zhaoning smiled and said, "Brother, I want to go to Qingniu County."
After hearing what Princess Zhaoning said, Xiao Jingyun was stunned, "Why are you going so far to Qingniu County?"
"Brother, I want to see the dragon veins. Liu Rumei used to be the guard, but she is getting married soon. I think this matter can be left to me."
After hearing Princess Zhaoning's reason, Xiao Jamyun was a little dumbfounded.
"Jingfeng, even if Liu Rumei is married, she is still in Hetou Village at the foot of Qingniu Mountain. She can still guard the dragon veins, so why let you go so far."
Princess Zhaoning looked at her eldest brother and rolled her eyes at him, "This is my only request, eldest brother. You must not turn your back on me."
"Little sister, don't be ridiculous. Your father is the only daughter with a precious treasure. How can he be willing to let you go to Qingniu County? Besides, now that Sun Yuliang has collapsed, even if the dragon vein is placed there, there will be no People are going to destroy.”
Princess Zhaoning's expression became a little melancholy, "Brother, you are wrong. My father doesn't care about me. He just wants me to marry to the Great Earth Kingdom..."
After hearing these words, Xiao Jingyun suddenly came back to his senses. He nodded, "Yes, according to the agreement, the Great Earth Kingdom will come to propose marriage in the spring next year."
After saying that, he looked at Princess Zhaoning and sighed slightly, "Jingfeng, I don't want you to marry so far away, but since ancient times, marriage has been about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. My father agreed to it early. , and I can’t even regret it..."
Princess Zhaoning rolled her eyes at him and sighed heavily, "Your tone is the same as that of my father. You only tell me about rules and conventions, but have any of you thought about my feelings? I ran to the earth alone. My country, even if I want to see you, it will be thousands of miles away, can you really bear it?"
After hearing what Princess Zhaoning said, Xiao Jamyun was silent for a while. Yes, it would be more than a thousand miles to get married in the Great Earth Country. If that were the case, it would probably not be easy for me to meet my sister.
Furthermore, some time ago, the Datu Kingdom and the Dalin Kingdom suddenly invaded the Dacang Kingdom, causing the relationship between the two countries to suddenly drop to a freezing point. So, do you want to continue to fulfill the upcoming engagement?
Seeing Jamel Xiao's hesitation, Princess Zhaoning immediately realized that she had a chance. Thinking of this, she suddenly started crying, tears falling down her cheeks.
"Brother, do you really have the heart to let me go to the Great Earth Kingdom? If I go to the Great Earth Kingdom, I will neither be able to fulfill my filial piety in front of my father nor be loyal to our country. Even my master, who respects him, wants to meet him. That’s harder than climbing to heaven.”
"You said if that's the case, what's the point of my life?"
"I might as well just end it here, so as not to worry my father, worry you, and worry my master."
