The Crown Princess's patience was at an end. After a big quarrel with the Crown Prince, she never came out again.
Not only did the prince lose the fight, but his face was also scratched. This was more evidence that the prince was in poor health.
Although both the Crown Prince and Prince Duan have little personal ethics, when it comes to the city's plans, the Crown Prince is far inferior to Prince Duan.
King Duan is dead. It has not yet been determined whether he was murdered by the enemy or at the hands of others.
The emperor finally handed the case over to King Xin for investigation.
Although he has found the right person, I am afraid that all the evidence that he had originally will be wiped out one by one, and there will be no conclusion in this life.
Although Lin Xi found it interesting that the prince became an eldest son. But I was still a little uneasy.
Her uneasiness came true half a month later...
As the saying goes, if there are no immediate worries, there will be distant ones.
Li State, which borders the southern border of Zhou State, and its ally Beichen State, sent envoys to visit the Emperor of Zhou State.
People are already on their way out.
Lin Xi heard about this and sighed while lying on the bed before going to bed.
"It was already a mess. Who turned him into a boss? This is a complete mess."
The delicate balance maintained is disrupted.
At present, one of Emperor Zhou's sons is dead, one has inconvenient legs and feet, and the other is completely disabled.
It is difficult not to make the monarchs of other countries look sideways and see if they can take advantage of the situation.
Lu Yan: "..."
From now on, this person will be called Da Zi.
Lin Xi: "Forget it, I have offended too many people. I don't know whether the person who did it was a man or a woman."
The person who hit the snake was really cruel.
A dull knife cuts flesh. The eldest son can continue to be a human being, but he cannot be a man.
Lu Yan's eyes flashed: "I guess it was a man who did it. After all, men know how to make men feel better."
Lin Xi: "...What you said makes sense."
Many times, evil words are the truth.
There are legitimate reasons for the diplomatic relations between major powers to be formalized.
It was said that it was to congratulate the Queen Mother of Zhou on her birthday.
Although Emperor Zhou was dissatisfied, he could only agree. After all, if he refused categorically, it would make other countries mistakenly think that they were afraid.
I'm afraid there will be more trouble later.
The two countries said it was to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday... but they didn't hide their intentions.
No birthday greetings come a month and a half in advance.
Probably because he saw a lot of things going on at his neighbor's house and wanted to see if there was any profit.
Lin Xi was also helpless.
She had never wanted to touch King Duan and the Crown Prince. After all, if the Zhou Kingdom was in chaos, the surrounding countries would be ready to take action.
She is most afraid of trouble, so she naturally chooses the lesser of two evils.
It's all their fault, they forced it, and they were not at fault anyway.
In response to the visits from the two countries, the government and the opposition have rarely been harmonious recently.
The birthday of the Queen Mother follows the previous rules, and the feudal king only needs to send someone to the capital to celebrate her birthday on her behalf.
The situation is different this year. Emperor Zhou issued an imperial edict and asked the vassal kings to come to celebrate his birthday in person.
If he can't come, he will send his son over, and the people on the left and right should speak with weight.
Emperor Zhou was usually wary of vassal kings, but he was soft-hearted and generally treated the royal family well.
Even if there are grievances between relatives, it is still an internal conflict, and at this juncture, they will still unanimously deal with the outside world.
These are troubled times, if this diplomatic relationship cannot deter the other two countries.
I'm just afraid that war is about to break out.
Lin Xi figured out the pattern. Every time someone celebrates their birthday, something will happen...
No one can stay out of the situation right now. If a fight breaks out, her uncle will most likely be the leader. How could she ignore it?
Lin Xi didn't like fighting, but she wasn't afraid when trouble came. She just wanted to change her way of life.
The atmosphere in the Duke's Mansion has been a bit heavy recently.
Except for Lin Yan, he still knew nothing about it and had fun every day.
When she had nothing to do, she was either pestering her elder brother or talking to the little poisonous mushroom.
He just didn't get close to Lin Xi anyway. After all, others just criticized him casually, but his sister really hit people.
——
Liang Qian received the letter and read it several times, but still couldn't believe it was true.
But this handwriting and tone can only be attributed to He Zhixing.
The bad qualities that others cannot imitate have not changed at all.
He read the letter, and then looked at the memorial tablet he had set up for his good brother. There were three burning incense sticks on it, and white smoke curled up.
Fortunately, he got up every morning to burn a stick of incense and set up a tomb.
It turns out that the other party is not dead.
Not only did she become a woman, she also became the rich daughter of the Duke's palace.
Looking at the pitiful Zhao family in front of him, Liang Qian tried hard to recall what a good brother looked like in his mind.
They say that they are good brothers and this girl has a very similar facial features... Why doesn't he think so?
It's obviously two people.
Although occasionally he felt that the other party was quite beautiful. But I didn't even think about it being a woman.
After all, she looks more ferocious when killing people.
How could it be a woman? But it's a female...it seems pretty good.
How could you not contact him for so long?
We haven't seen each other for half a year, why are we getting married and having a husband?
Since Liang Qian received the letter, he has countless questions in his mind.
After receiving the imperial edict from the vassal king to go to the capital to congratulate him, Liang Qian arranged all the matters and set off for the capital as soon as possible.
Because of his "filial piety", my father is now dying and his mind is not very clear.
Naturally, he has the final say on all matters in the domain.
Liang Qian kept on traveling day and night, disabled several horses, and was the first among the vassal kings to arrive in Beijing.
Following etiquette, he immediately entered the palace to pay homage to the emperor.
Emperor Zhou was very touched by this man's positive response and kept him talking for a while and even had a meal together.
After coming out of the palace, Liang Qian wanted to go to the Duke's Mansion without stopping.
But thinking of the reminder in Lin Xi's letter, he restrained his impulse.
I went to Qionglou as an ordinary guest.
Lin Xi said that it is best not to let others know that they are old acquaintances and have a good relationship. To avoid unnecessary trouble.
If you want to find her after arriving in the capital, just go to Qiong Tower.
Find a waiter in green clothes in the lobby and give her the secret code. Someone will naturally notify her.
Liang Gan avoided the eyes and ears and found the waiter in green clothes.
Then, he was led to the private room on the fourth floor.
In the private room, Liang Gan was waiting around. His patience was about to run out and he was thinking wildly when he finally heard footsteps outside.
Liang Qian held his breath when he saw the person walking in, and his heartbeat suddenly beat like a drumstick.
She has picturesque eyebrows and a slender figure. She is wearing a yellow blouse and her black hair is styled into a beautiful bun. The hairpin on her head sparkled under the light.
The corners of his mouth were upward, but his eyebrows seemed to be covered with ice and snow, with a bit of coldness.
Like a fairy in a painting.
Lin Xi has to be dressed up every time she goes out, and today is no exception.
Although Texue is not in the capital right now, her team is still there, and all the girls are very stubborn.
Liang Qian stared straight at him, and for a moment he didn't dare to recognize him.
This is not even remotely similar to what I remember.
Lin Xi laughed loudly and opened his arms: "What do you mean, you suspect that I am a man disguised as a woman?"
Liang Qian came back to his senses: "That's not the case. It's just too unexpected."
Lin Xi: "Do you think I am different from before?"
Liang Qian: "The difference is huge. Your eyebrows were not like this before."
When Lin Xi heard what he said, she even bent over with laughter.
Well, she used to do this in order to avoid being recognized as a woman and to save herself from trouble... After all, men who look too delicate are not comfortable in the military camp.
At that time, Lin Xi painted her eyebrows so thick and black that they almost became a line.
This kind of vegetable dye does not fade for a long time, and you only need to reapply the color once a month, which is very convenient.
When his eyebrows change, his whole personality changes.
