This was the first time Xu Yuan saw this woman with sharp features.
Regardless of past life or this life.
Because of the emperor's weird attitude, Xu Yuan could probably guess that he should know the other person in this marriage.
And there is a high probability that she is a princess or a princess.
Now it seems that we do know each other, but it is a one-sided understanding, and we know it from the internal reference of Dibao about the northern border.
Wu Yuan,
Li Qingyan.
Okay, now Xu Yuan understands why the old man of the emperor showed that weird expression before.
The Mu Zhiyun in my memory was a standard good girl, the kind of girl who would make her jump in fright if you poked her from behind.
And Wu Yuan?
Oh, Yuan Hao, the psychopath who killed so far, might be able to make a small fortune in her hands.
Who dares to marry such a woman?
Xu Yuan took a deep breath and asked:
"I remember, weren't you fighting in the north?"
Wu Yuan narrowed his phoenix eyes, and his slightly rustling voice sounded very comfortable:
"The war in the north is not going well. There is a temporary stalemate there due to the weather."
"Weather?" Xu Yuan asked deliberately.
Wu Yuan had no doubt about him and explained carefully:
"A blizzard fell from the sky, a once-in-a-hundred-year blizzard, covering thousands of miles of ice. The scout monsters were completely unable to see in the air. The soldiers could not go out of the military camp at all, and could only temporarily shrink and stay in place."
Although he already knew something about it beforehand, Xu Yuan still nodded pretendingly and then asked:
"So the war in the north is still urgent. What are you doing back in Beijing at this juncture?"
"Of course I have something important to do when I return to the Imperial Capital."
"What's the matter? What's the matter? Are you engaged for this?"
"It's none of your business."
"Tsk"
Xu Yuan smacked his lips, looked at that beautiful face, and said with a smile:
"Although we are not very familiar with each other, there is a high probability that this marriage will fail. In other words, I am your husband, so you can't even talk about this?"
Wu Yuan turned around, with red lips, looking at the man in front of him and smiling every word:
"Okay, once we get engaged, I will tell you immediately why you returned to Beijing."
"."
Xu Yuan was silent and suddenly asked:
"Don't you have any opinions about this marriage?"
"Why should I have any objections?"
Wu Yuan stared at Xu Yuan with a strange look: "I want to recruit a consort after all. You are good-looking. It is enough that I don't reject you."
"."
Another woman who lusted after his body.
Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head, suddenly realizing that the British and American woman in front of him was very tall.
At least about 175, with a pair of long and slender legs that could probably be on eye level with him if paired with high heels.
Looking at each other for a moment, Xu Yuan did not look away and asked with interest:
"I mean, you don't care about my reputation? Or my personality?"
Wu Yuan stared at Xu Yuan for two seconds:
"Why do I care about such a worthless thing? As for your character, I don't care."
"."Xu Yuan.
Wu Yuan pursed his lips and smiled at him:
"Okay, no need to talk nonsense. Xu Changtian, tell me what you think of me. It is unlikely that this marriage will be cancelled."
"."
Xu Yuan's eyes flickered twice: "I wonder what the princess's opinion is?"
Li Qingyan pointed to the path on the lakeshore and said as he walked:
"Anything can be done. You can express your dissatisfaction directly about your temperament, appearance, body shape, etc. I will consider whether I can change it."
"."
These words made Xu Yuan unable to deal with it again.
In his previous life, under the arrangement of the old man, he also had a few perfunctory blind dates.
Marriage, business.
It would be better for both parties if everyone talked everything through.
But he didn't expect that Wuyuan Princess Li Qingyan would be so enlightened.
After two seconds of silence, Xu Yuan slowly spoke:
"First of all, I think marriage requires a little privacy."
"Be specific." Li Qingyan.
Xu Yuan looked serious:
"I have a lot of friends, so sometimes I have to attend dinner and not go home."
"."
Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes narrowed little by little, and his voice was steady: "Well, what next."
Xu Yuan thought carefully about his words: "I am an idle person, and I occasionally go out to relax."
Li Qingyan smiled with a pair of phoenix eyes:
"go on."
"Secondly, I think"
"Yin He, do you think that girl from my family and this boy from your family can make it?"
Standing by the window, the old man in imperial robes stared at the lake in the distance with indifferent eyes.
The breeze blew through the attic. The tableware on the indoor desk had been taken away by Eunuch Nie and replaced by a tea tray.
Xu Yinhe sat contentedly on the futon and poured himself a drink:
"Chang Tian should be willing. As for Wu Yuan, I don't know much about her."
Li Yaoxuan glanced back at Xu Yinhe and said calmly:
"Not so much? Indeed, even I don't understand the character of this girl Wu Yuan very well."
"You don't understand?" Xu Yinhe was noncommittal.
"She has been following that guy Mu Zhenbei since she was a child. Of course I don't understand him."
Li Yaoxuan's voice contained a hint of an unknown smile: "But when I mentioned this to her before, she immediately agreed."
Xu Yinhe put down the tea cup:
"So, this marriage is considered a success?"
Li Yaoxuan's eyes were a little strange, and he turned around and leaned against the window railing:
"Don't pretend to be confused, I'm talking about temperament.
"Although I don't know much about Wu Yuan's temperament, she grew up in the army and developed a temperament that is not too gentle. And you should be aware of what your son has done in the Imperial Capital over the years."
To translate, let’s put the two violent tempers aside, and you, Xu Xiangguo, can find a way to solve it.
Xu Yinhe thought for a moment and said leisurely:
"Since he started practicing, Changtian's temperament has changed a bit, so he probably won't be able to fight."
Before he finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent.
"." Li Yaoxuan pursed his lips toward the window.
"." Xu Yinhe sighed.
Then,
"boom!"
"Buzz——"
"Li Qingyan, are you sick?! Do you think this is your military camp?"
"boom!!!"
The black dragon carriage was driving on Tianan Road, speeding in the opposite direction from whence it came.
The space inside the car was silent.
Xu Yinhe sat cross-legged with an expressionless expression.
Xu Yuan also sat quietly, with some bruises on his face.
There was an incense burner placed on the tea table between the father and son, with green smoke floating upwards.
Big eyes stare at small eyes.
I do not know how long it has been,
Xu Yinhe's voice sounded faintly: "How is the injury?"
This is a nonsense sentence at the beginning. How could this old man not see that all he suffered were superficial injuries?
Xu Yuan also smiled:
"Wu Yuan strikes carefully."
Xu Yinhe nodded and asked:
"Why did you get into a fight with her by the lake?"
Xu Yuan shrugged, vaguely:
"I made a few jokes with that woman, but she didn't seem to have a very good temper."
Xu Yinhe did not comment on this.
Whether it's true feelings or acting, it won't affect the marriage this time, because up to now, none of the three sons have said they don't want to get married.
Xu Yuan sighed and suddenly asked:
"Father, I asked directly. My engagement partner was Wu Yuan from the beginning, right?"
Xu Yinhe raised his eyebrows:
"Changtian why do you ask that?"
Xu Yuan showed an unknown smile:
"The reason the emperor gave earlier was too lame. Mu Zhiyun is a weak woman, and she cannot do such a thing by forcing her to die."
Xu Yinhe's eyes were strange:
"You are familiar with that girl."
"."Xu Yuan.
With a slight cough, Xu Yuan then said slowly:
"Father, when you were chatting with me on the way to the palace, you said that you haven't seen the emperor for a long time."
"Before you discussed with Marquis Wu Cheng, I guess Marquis Wu Cheng is most likely the emperor's mouthpiece, and you mentioned them as the main ones before, so you should be referring to the imperial party and not the Marquis Wucheng's mansion."
Saying that, Xu Yuan sighed:
"And from the beginning to the end, father, you never said that my marriage partner was Mu Zhiyun, but you always said that I was discussing a marriage with Marquis Wu Cheng."
"There is also the matter of marrying into the family. Although it is an exchange of interests, the Wuchenghou Mansion is not going to let me marry into the family."
"I didn't think so much about it before, but now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed a bit abnormal."
"."
Xu Yinhe sat opposite and listened carefully:
"Changtian, you are half right."
"Half?" Xu Yuan asked.
Xu Yinhe glanced in the direction of the palace:
"My father did want to marry Wu Yuan at the beginning, but the emperor didn't agree, so my father could only settle for the next best thing. Those ambiguous words before were all helpless."
Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice:
"Why doesn't the emperor agree?"
Xu Yinhe taught in a calm voice:
"If you become the consort and give birth to an heir in the future, then your father will not only be the prime minister, but also a relative."
"Li Yaoxuan can endure it, but he also has a bottom line. Imperial power is his bottom line."
"But if my father is willing, after his death, through this relationship and layers of planning, it would not be too difficult for the palace to change its surname."
"."
The words fell, and there was silence.
The imperial power is supreme and there is no retreat.
Xu Yuan digested it silently for a while and said slowly:
"Father, is it true that His Majesty's time is running out?"
Xu Yinhe was ambiguous:
"It's not clear, but it should be soon. But before he dies, he will definitely try his best to provoke a war between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the sect."
Xu Yuan understood quickly:
"Then the emperor agrees to this marriage now because of the war in the north?"
Xu Yinhe nodded:
"Well, now the sects in the three northern continents are constantly increasing their troops, and the scale of the war is constantly expanding. Li Yaoxuan probably wants to completely tie us together through this marriage, at least until he dies. Together."
After hearing this, Xu Yuan asked in a low voice:
"Then we were tied to the ship like this?"
Xu Yinhe smiled when he heard this:
"Why not?
"Nine times out of ten, life will be unsatisfactory. Although the father wants to wait, the general trend can no longer wait."
"and,
"My father and Li Yaoxuan have had the same goal since they were young. Although there are some differences now, they are still the same. Since what he wants to do now is beneficial to the goal, then he and I are still on the same side."
"."
Xu Yuan found that his situation was still small.
Xu Yinhe looked at Xu Yuan and asked every word seriously:
"Changtian, the royal family is not the enemy. Unless absolutely necessary, do not take action against them."
The incense smoke curled up, and the car was silent.
Xu Yuan looked at the serious-faced Xu Yinhe and noticed his father's deep helplessness.
Comrades who have been together all their lives end up killing each other at the end of their lives.
It's cruel, but it must be done.
Because an emperor would never allow himself to retain such a prime minister for his heirs before his death.
If you don't take action, you will be captured without mercy.
If Li Yaoxuan could live longer, there would not be such a tense atmosphere between the royal family and the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if there was, it would definitely be after the sect's troubles were eliminated.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan wanted to rely on the information in "Cangyuan" to try to save the emperor, but suddenly found that there was no way to save him.
Leaving aside whether there is any solution to the information in "Cangyuan", at this point, it is impossible for the emperor to tell them the true condition of his body.
Telling them is equivalent to setting a time for the Prime Minister's Office to start the war.
After a long silence, Xu Yuan laughed twice:
"Yes, father, Changtian understands."
Tianyuan Mountain, behind the mountain bamboo forest.
The sound of clanging could be heard endlessly, and the wind pressure caused by swinging the giant sword almost overwhelmed the surrounding bamboo forest.
The strong old man wielded a huge sword but he was very fast. With a clever move, the black sword flew high and was about to be smashed down with a single move.
The girl in black could not avoid it and blinked her eyes in despair.
The giant sword stopped firmly within an inch of the girl's cold face, and the strong wind pressure blew the three thousand black hairs flying in the wind.
Sheathing his sword, Ran Jianli laughed and patted the girl in front of him on the shoulder:
"Hahahahaha, Qing Mo, you have made a lot of progress. Although you have not used Yuan Qi, you have been able to go five rounds under my master. Are you still coming?"
"."
Ran Qingmo pursed his lips and said nothing. He silently turned around and walked over to pick up his Mo sword, and then walked straight towards his small bamboo house.
"."
Ran Jianli's mouth suddenly froze while he was laughing wildly while carrying the giant sword. After inserting the giant sword into the ground, he quickly stepped forward and followed the girl. He turned sideways and asked cautiously:
"Qing Mo. As a teacher, I can't let my guard down when I'm discussing with you, right?"
"Qingmo, are you angry?"
"Don't be angry. I called you back. Doesn't this mean that Master Miss misses you?"
"Why don't you say something? When your master's wife comes back, she will say that she is bullying you again."
"."
Ran Qingmo stopped and shook his head: "I'm not angry with the master."
After that, he continued walking towards the bamboo house and closed the wooden door with a bang.
"." Ran Jianli.
After rubbing the back of his head, Ran Jianli took a breath and said to himself:
"What kind of trouble is this girl? You wouldn't be so depressed if you lost in competitions before."
"What are you doing, you stupid old man, standing at Qingmo's door?"
Suddenly, a clear voice came from the bamboo forest path outside.
Ran Jianli looked back and saw a middle-aged woman walking in. Time had carved some marks on her face, which was beautiful and gentle.
After exhaling a breath, Ran Jianli walked over and drew out his giant sword, and asked hesitantly:
"Xiaowei, you came just in time. Our good disciple seems to have become a little weird after going out today."
Luo Wei glanced at Ran Jianli and then at her apprentice's small bamboo house:
"What's wrong?"
Ran Jianli said nonchalantly:
"After Qing Mo went out, he kept sparring with me. After losing a hundred times, he got angry and left."
"." Luo Wei.
Ran Jianli quickly explained to his wife:
"Xiaowei, it's not like you don't know Qing Mo's temper. In the past, Qing Mo wouldn't be angry even if he lost for a whole day."
Luo Wei rolled her eyes, took out a newspaper from the Sumeru Ring, and patted it on Ran Jianli's strong chest muscles:
"Let's see."
"."
Ran Jianli took a look at it in confusion. His carefree expression disappeared instantly, and there was a solemn look in his eyes:
"Are Li Yaoxuan and Xu Yinhe still going to take action?"
While the silent war in the frozen north continued, a piece of news quickly spread throughout Great Yan in the form of a world newspaper.
Li Qingyan and Xu Changtian are engaged.
