Shangguan Ruoli analyzed calmly: "This is the Royal Courtyard. They arranged me here so deliberately. So many assassins came in and made such a big noise, but they didn't even alert the guards in the Courtyard to come to help. Can it be done?

I’m afraid there aren’t many of these people.”

Shangguan Tianxiao's eyes narrowed slightly. Not only did this daughter's temperament change, but her knowledge was also completely different.

Shangguan Ruoli noticed something strange in Shangguan Tianxiao, but there was something she had to say. She had to take precautions to prevent the Shangguan family from being too powerful.

"Dad! The four countries have reached a peace agreement this time, and there is no war at the border. The military power in your hands has become a hot potato. Have you ever thought about handing over part of the military power or laying off employees?"

Qu Xiaohan's eyes lit up, and he obviously agreed with her idea.

But after observing his words and demeanor, he saw that Shangguan Tianxiao looked unhappy, so he gently scolded Shangguan Ruoli and said, "I have a foster father for important matters in government affairs. You, a little girl, don't worry about it."

Shangguan Tianxiao thought so in his heart, but he felt unhappy when someone else taught his precious daughter a lesson.

He gave Qu Xiaohan a slap in the face and said softly to Shangguan Ruoli: "Li'er's words are reasonable. I didn't expect you, a boudoir woman, to have such insight. As a father, you will carefully consider and weigh."

Qu Xiaohan touched his nose awkwardly and opened the fan to fan himself.

Shangguan Ruoli was amused in his heart that this cheap father was so protective of his calf, and he said coquettishly: "My daughter is her father's daughter, so she is naturally very smart. In the past, my daughter just didn't like to talk, but she knew it in her heart."

"Hahaha!" Shangguan Tianxiao laughed heartily, "Li'er is right! Dad is so brave and wise, and his daughter should be like this!"

Qu Xiaohan shook her fan and looked at the sky speechlessly. These father and daughter really don't know what modesty is.

Shangguan Ruoli also laughed infectiously, "Dad, I'm going to see Princess Jinyang."

"Princess Jinyang was picked up by De Fei's people early in the morning, and she will visit Duke Dingguo's house after you recover from your injury." Shangguan Tianxiao now thinks that this daughter is as good as any other man.

"Okay." Shangguan Ruoli agreed obediently. He must go to Duke Ding's mansion. Concubine De is an old man in the palace, so she must know some clues about some things.

Her only niece was injured, why should she check it out, right?

Shangguan Ruoli came out of Shangguan Tianxiao's house and took a deep breath of the morning air with the crisp fragrance of bamboo.

The morning dew shines on the green bamboo leaves, and the morning sun shines through the dense bamboo forest, casting a halo on the busy people in the yard.

This world is so beautiful!

Especially Shangguan Ruoli, who has lived a new life, can feel the preciousness of life even more.

In her previous life, she was an orphan and had no worries. In this life, she has a father who loves him like jewels and has a family.

So she not only has to live a good life, but also protect this family.

Ahem, by this time she had long forgotten her original idea of ​​running away to recover from her injuries.

…

In Yanyu Pavilion, the game has not started yet.

Beiling Mo Xue knelt in front of the emperor and queen, holding a carved white jade box in her hand, "Your Majesty the Emperor of Beiling, Princess Anping is gentle and virtuous. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I would like to marry you."

The emperor's serious face was filled with coldness, "This matter will be discussed later."

Beiling Mo Xue's pale face turned slightly red, looking like she was in love for the first time. She held the white jade box in both hands and said, "These are the thousand-year-old snow lotus and the thousand-year Cynomorium cynomorium, which are our national treasures in Beiling..."

“Thousand-year-old snow lotus and Cynomorium cynomorium?!”

"Oh my god! What a rare treasure!"

As soon as Beiling Mo Xue's words came out, everyone immediately sighed. Those present were all nobles and had seen good things. Naturally, they knew that these two things were treasures.

When the emperor heard about Thousand-Year Cynomorium Cynomorium, his eyes immediately lit up and his expression softened a lot.

Although he was less than forty, he had so many concubines that he was often unable to do what he wanted. The thousand years of Cynomorium Cynomorium had nourished the body and improved a woman's ability to conceive, while ordinary medicines that improve mood were more or less harmful to the body.

"No, you..." The queen's heart froze when she saw the emperor's look. She wanted to refuse immediately. Her daughter could never marry far away to a barren and cold place like Beiling!

In her heart, even if Dongming Yuehua loses her virginity, she will not worry about getting married as a princess. Whether the royal woman can be used is the first priority. It doesn't matter whether she is innocent or not. Shangguan Ruoxian may not be innocent, but she will still be the same if she doesn't.

Crown Princess?

She also wanted to use Dongming Yuehua to win over the ministers of the DPRK. How could she be allowed to marry far away from Beiling?

Whoever falls in love with a young master does not need an imperial edict from the emperor, but only needs her hints. Who dares to disobey?

The emperor glared at her, and the queen was so frightened that she swallowed all the words she had not finished.

The emperor was not only interested in Millennium Snow Lotus and Millennium Cynomorium, but he was also more interested in what benefits Dongming could gain from the marriage between the two countries.

For example, the war horses in Beiling and the iron mines in Beiling!

Of course, Beiling can also get the support of Dongming, but based on Beiling's national strength, it is far from Dongming's opponent, so Beiling can only surrender.

When he found Beiling Mo Xue and Dongming Yuehua rolling together, the emperor had already weighed the interests of the marriage.

But now the emperor did not relent, but said: "The third prince of Beiling is interested. Princess Anping is my beloved daughter, and I can't bear to have her marry far away."

Everyone knows that the emperor mainly wants to bargain. Princess Anping lost her virginity, so she married a low-ranking official who didn't care about reputation. It was impossible to recruit a consort among the upper-class princes.

As for what Beiling Mo Xue said about Princess Anping, no one present believed it.

Gentle and virtuous? You can't even compare to Princess Anping. What do you want?

Beiling Mo Xue was already worried about finding allies, so how could she give up so easily just because of a word from the emperor or the empress?

He repeatedly promised that he was sincere to Princess Anping and that he would treat Princess Anping well and never let her suffer any injustice. Every year, he would take the princess back to Dongming to visit her relatives and give her war horses, fine iron and other gifts.

This means paying tribute every year. Of course, what he didn't say is that the premise of all this is that Dongming can give him enough help to enable him to obtain these things.

Of course, even if he didn't say it, everyone knew it.

The queen's heart sank to the bottom. She knew that there were fewer women than men in Beiling. Women in Beiling were indeed precious because they relied on women to reproduce their offspring.

A woman's main responsibility is to bear and raise children, so if a woman dies her husband can marry her husband's brother or stepson. Poor people cannot marry wives, so it is common for several brothers to share one wife.

How could her precious princess marry into such a barbaric place?

The emperor agreed to Beiling Mo Xue's proposal without any suspense, and the queen no longer wanted to compete, so she made an excuse and went to Dongming Yuehua's courtyard.

Dongming Yuehua had already received the news that the emperor had agreed to Beiling Moxue's proposal, and she sat back on the bed with dull eyes.
