When Du Wanchun looked sideways, he realized that she had a dimple on the right side of her face, but it was not as obvious as her dimples. It was only revealed when she was laughing.
She looked at the little dimples and smiled knowingly.
At this banquet, apart from the small interlude between Concubine Li and Mr. Liang, Lu Yan and Miss Mo discussed a serious matter.
"Ruiyuan, Nanyi wants to make peace with us."
In recent years, Zhou Zhao, Lu Yan and General Mo have been resisting outside the pass from the people of Nanyi Kingdom. ?.?????.???
The war between the two countries has been on and off for at least thirty years, leaving Yanzhou and Xuzhou on the border in poverty.
This time Nanyi proposed peace, which was indeed a big deal for them.
Zhou Ruiyuan smiled and said: "This is a good thing. What are the conditions for them to make peace?"
Lu Yan lowered his head and darkened his face, "They want to make peace with us."
Zhou Ruiyuan secretly felt something was wrong, "Marriage?"
Lu Yan's face became darker, "That's right."
The third prince on the side listened half-comprehensively, and took over the words: "Getting married is also a good idea. It was the same in Dongling Kingdom before, but I don't know which princess they want to marry."
Lu Yan put down the cup in his hand and said slowly: "They want us to marry a princess."
As soon as these words came out, the originally lively banquet suddenly became quiet.
Everyone was stunned in place.
Du Wanchun was also surprised.
Only a few children still had no idea what was going on.
Now the only one in Xuanyue Kingdom who can be called a princess is Mianmian.
After a while, Zhou Ruiyuan said coldly: "The princess is still young, how can she go and get married."
Lu Yan replied: "They said that we can get engaged first and then send someone to take the princess to Nanyi after she has her hair."
At this time, the third prince suddenly stood up, slapped the table hard, and said, "They are so brave, and they want us to marry the princess!"
"Forget it, let Zhao'er step over and destroy them!"
Zhou Ruiyuan's face was obviously angry, and he asked Lu Yan, "Did they really say that?"
Lu Yan responded: "Yes, they also specifically stated that the princess can only be a princess. If they were replaced by a palace maid, it would be disrespectful to them."
Zhou Ruiyuan spread his hands, his eyes full of coldness, "If you don't disrespect me, you are disrespectful. Go and tell them that our princess of Xuanyue Kingdom will never get married."
Lu Yan bowed to Zhou Ruiyuan and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
At this time, someone in the crowd said, "But the war..."
Although there were only three words, they still fell into the ears of Concubine Li. She said unceremoniously: "Are all the men in our Xuanyue Kingdom dead? We have to rely on a woman to sue for peace. Besides, this little Nanyi is nothing. We have been fighting on and off for more than thirty years, but we have never made it past Xianggu Mountain."
Xianggu Mountain is the border between the two countries.
Li Fei's words blocked the man's words.
Mr. Liang also stood up and said: "Getting married is indeed not a good idea. Not to mention that the princess is still young. Even if she can get married, it will not be possible. In the future, other countries will only think that we are easy to bully, and will follow suit one after another, and even go further. "
The third prince nodded in agreement.
Zhou Ruiyuan turned his head and looked at Du Wanchun who was standing aside.
Du Wanchun nodded knowingly towards him.
Zhou Ruiyuan gently placed his hand on the back of her hand, and then said to the people below: "That's it. It's a family dinner tonight, let's continue to eat."
No one dared to discuss this matter anymore.
Lu Yan felt much better after hearing Zhou Ruiyuan's words. He was unwilling to marry the princess out.
After the family banquet, word gradually spread that Nanyi wanted to marry the princess.
It only took three or four days to spread to Beidi Kingdom.
In Beidi, Xiao Qing'er was practicing martial arts. When she heard the news, her foot slipped and she almost fell down.
The young eunuchs surrounding him quickly gathered around, "Your Highness, are you okay?"
Xiao Qing'er shook her head, stood up quickly, and went to his mother's house.
Xiao Qing'er is older than Mianmian, and has changed a lot this year. Not only has her temper become calmer, but her appearance has also changed a lot. She is walking down the corridor in a gorgeous outfit, and she seems to have the high spirits of a young boy.
He strode into Madam Wu's palace and said quickly: "Mother! Mother! That Nanyi man wants to marry Mianmian!"
