The so-called covenant is just a piece of paper.
It's just a piece of waste paper when it's useless!
If Ning Guo cannot become stronger, it is not surprising that Wu State will tear up this piece of paper, seize all the industries in Guiyuan in Wu State, and raise troops to invade Ning Guo again.
If we want to form a real restraint on Wu State, we can only have Ning State become extremely powerful!
It was so powerful that the state of Wu threw itself into a trap.
But now Ningguo is still very weak.
Even if Li Chenan becomes the emperor of Ningguo, it will take a long time for him to make Ningguo rich and powerful.
Therefore, in Zhongli Ruoshui's plan, the future layout of Guiyuan should be mainly in Ningguo.
As for the business of Wu and Yue, the money earned can only be assured when the maximum amount is transferred to Ning.
So how did Li Chenan decide on this?
In the sight of the three beauties, Li Chenan said:
"The headquarters of Guiyuan should be moved to Yujing City in Ning State. This place... will serve as the branch in Wu State."
"As for whether Wu Hui will regret it, I'm not worried about it in the short term."
"After all, even if he does become the emperor of Wu, what he needs to do most is to establish his own court."
"He needs a relatively stable external environment, so he will not easily tear up the alliance agreement."
"As for the future... I am afraid that the future will become more complicated due to the rise of the Great Wilderness Kingdom, and the Ning Kingdom will become even stronger."
"He won't have a chance to break the agreement!"
Xiao Baozi suddenly looked at Li Chenan again and said, "Actually, if you marry that Princess Qin...will this matter become easier?"
"When we return to the garden and have this Princess Qin, Wu Hui will be your uncle."
Xiao Baozi looked at Xia Hua again:
"With Duke Xia's mansion still looking after him, even if Wu Hui wants to touch Guiyuan's business in Wu, he will have to think more about it, right?"
Zhongli Ruoshui and Xia Hua both looked at Li Chenan in surprise.
They didn't know that Princess Qin and Li Chenan had met before!
Li Chenan touched his nose and said, "It's nothing!"
Xiao Baozi's slender eyes opened:
"Man, don't tell lies!"
"You have already accepted the mandarin duck embroidered by someone else, and you still want to cheat?"
Zhongli Ruoshui bit her lip and stretched out her hand: "Let me take a look at the mandarin duck she embroidered!"
What can Li Chenan do?
He took out the white silk scarf from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Zhongli Ruoshui.
Zhongli Ruoshui took it, unfolded it, looked at it carefully, touched it with his hand, and suddenly laughed:
"The embroidery work is excellent!"
"This Princess Qin must be a very clever person..."
She raised her eyes and looked at Li Chenan. Regarding this matter, she was not happy in her heart at least for now.
But as the third young lady of Zhongli Mansion, she understands better than Xiao Baozi and Xia Hua the significance of Li Chenan marrying Wu Qin!
Marriage is a common thing among high-ranking families.
It has nothing to do with their relationship.
It’s just about maintaining the interests between the various families!
Therefore, as women from aristocratic families, they have never been able to make their own decisions about their marriage.
Princesses are no exception!
For example, I should have been like this, just because of my grandma's open-mindedness, and just because I was lucky enough to meet Li Chenan.
Now that Li Chenan is going back to Ningguo to become emperor, Zhongli Ruoshui is more aware of Ningguo's current situation than Xiao Baozi and Xia Hua.
If the marriage with Wu State can really be achieved...at least the beginning after Li Chenan ascends the throne will not be more troublesome.
As for Li Chenan having another woman by his side, if he ascends the throne as emperor, with so many palaces in the harem, there will definitely be many more women!
So what's the harm in having one more Princess Qin who is more useful to Li Chen'an?
"After meeting the Emperor of Wu, if I can invite Princess Qin to sit in the garden... I would really like to learn this embroidery technique from her."
"We may become good sisters, you, you don't have to worry!"
Just then, the carriage stopped.
After a while, Wu Hui brought the eunuch Zhang Jingzhong to Li Chenan's carriage.
Li Chenan and others got out of the car.
Zhang Jingzhong bowed and said, "Your Majesty has ordered that the Regent and his entourage come to...Princess Qin's Mansion to meet you!"
Xiao Baozi stuck out his tongue and muttered:
"You haven't learned embroidery yet. Could it be that you are about to enter the bridal chamber?"
She glanced at Li Chenan and muttered:
"You can conquer Huanglong with just one spear..."
Xiao Baozi's thinking is so magical.
Zhongli Ruoshui and Xia Hua looked at each other.
Zhang Jingzhong was stunned for a moment, looking at Xiao Baozi with his old eyes, he felt that this girl was very different from ordinary people.
…
…
The Emperor of Wu met with the Regent of Ning and chose the Princess Qin Mansion as the venue for the meeting!
This was beyond Li Chenan's expectation and beyond Wu Hui's expectation.
Princess Qin Wu Qin has not yet reached hairpin age.
According to the rules of this world, strange men are not allowed to go to her princess mansion!
But Emperor Wu did just that.
Then the taste becomes different——
This is no longer a state exchange.
On the contrary, it was more like an ordinary family dinner.
It's just that although the location of this banquet was incredible, everyone understood what Emperor Wu was thinking!
The alliance between the two countries is confirmed!
Even the marriage between the two countries will be put on the agenda after Princess Qin and Ji!
Li Chenan's entry into the palace could have been carried out secretly, but Emperor Wu did not do so.
When Li Chenan and his entourage were about to arrive at the palace, Emperor Wu was convening ministers in the political hall to discuss state affairs.
When the news that Li Chenan and Prince Wu Hui of Heping were arriving at the south gate of the palace reached the Council Hall, Emperor Wu did not say anything more about state affairs.
He stood up, glanced at the ministers, and also glanced at Wu Qian who was standing in front of the Council Hall.
Today, he asked the prince Wu Qian to come to the political hall to listen to the government.
This originally rekindled Wu Qian's heart.
Let him think that his father still has no intention of deposing the East Palace.
But Emperor Wu's understatement crushed his hopes once again——
"I, Prince Xuanping returned to Beijing because I haven't seen Prince Ping for more than ten years."
"The Western Region is bitterly cold, and I miss this son very much."
"In addition, Li Chen'an, the regent of Ning Kingdom, is in Dongxu City... I think that since Wu and Ning have formed an alliance, I should invite Li Chen'an to the palace for a cup of tea."
"After all, after the alliance is formed, there are still many things that are beneficial to both countries that need to be discussed."
"So I asked Prince Ping to go to Guiyuan and invite Li Chenan...I am old, and I can no longer care so much about the future affairs of the Wu Kingdom."
He took two steps on the stage with a smile on his face:
"Then let the young people do it!"
"Zhang Jingzhong!"
"The old slave is here!"
"Take Prince Ping and Li Chenan...to Princess Qin's Mansion. I will be there in a minute!"
When Emperor Wu said these words, everyone in the court was shocked!
Wu Qian's heart felt cold.
He knew that he, the prince, was finished.
Because my father asked Prince Ping to do such an important thing!
His head was buzzing, and he didn't even hear what Emperor Wu said next.
The ministers in the court also knew that the East Palace was finished.
This matter is actually nothing new.
The emperor's various behaviors since these days indicate the downfall of the East Palace.
Ever since the Emperor and Prince Xuanping returned to Beijing, they had smelled something different.
But they never expected that the emperor would choose Princess Qin's Mansion as the place to meet with Li Chenan...
The ministers looked at each other in confusion, and when they looked at Wu Qian's back, the last trace of desolation showed in their eyes.
At this moment, Wu Qin, who was in the princess's residence, did not know that her father had made such a shocking decision.
She was sitting on the covered bridge next to the lotus pond.
A purse is being embroidered stitch by stitch.
The purse is still embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks.
The girl's face was peaceful and joyful.
The pair of mandarin ducks became lifelike under her needles.
