When Qin Xiao asked this question, King Yongzang was a little surprised. He looked at Qin Xiao and said, "Does His Majesty the Emperor know about her?" But he soon thought of something and felt a little embarrassed.
When he said this, it was like admitting that it was Princess Zhendai who sent her for marriage.
Qin Xiao sighed inwardly, feeling that everything in this world is really unpredictable.
At first, Princess Zhendai was full of hostility towards him and even made things difficult for him. Qin Xiao didn't even want to see her again. Who would have thought that in the end, Princess Zhendai would be personally sent to his door by the Lord of Bohai.
King Yongzang claimed that Princess Zhendai was smart and knew etiquette. Qin Xiao believed that being smart might be really smart, but knowing etiquette was not necessarily true.
King Yongzang was originally wondering why the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty knew about Princess Zhendai, but he immediately realized what was going on. Qin Xiao saw it and knew what was going on.
Princess Jeongdae and Eulji Wonban wanted to offer Qin Xiao as a gift to Yuon Gae Gun in order to assassinate Yuan Gae Gun, so they approached Yuan Gae Gun and launched the assassination, so they kidnapped Qin Xiao.
After the two people returned home about the encounter at sea, they naturally informed King Yongzang behind them.
Qin Xiao blurted out Princess Zhendai, and King Yongzang did not react for a moment. He was surprised how Qin Xiao knew Princess Zhendai, but he soon realized that General Qin was the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Zhendai.
The princess and the Emperor of Tang Dynasty had known each other for a long time.
At this time, the deputy envoy had turned around and made a gesture to the outside of the hall. Soon, he saw a woman walking into the hall wearing a power hat.
Qin Xiao only looked at her figure and confirmed that she was Princess Zhendai.
It's just that Princess Zhendai didn't know the etiquette as King Yongzang said. She took a long step and even waved her arms. The officials looked at each other and looked at each other, thinking that a small country is a small country after all, and the princess is dignified.
She behaves like a common woman in the countryside.
King Yongzang also had a look of astonishment on his face, with a look of displeasure in his eyes.
Princess Zhendai walked to the side of the deputy envoy, raised her head and looked at Qin Xiao across Mi Luo, hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "Bohai Zhendai, pay homage to His Majesty the Great Emperor!"
When the deputy saw Zhendai not kneeling, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly reminded her in a low voice, but Princess Zhendai ignored her.
Qin Xiao felt funny.
He knew that Princess Zhendae still had prejudices against him, and the most important thing was that Princess Zhendae and Eulji Wonban seemed to be quite affectionate.
Looking at Princess Zhendai's attitude, it was clear that she was not willing to marry, but was forced by King Yongzang.
King Yongzang obviously wanted to express his sincerity to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and he also wanted to have the towering tree of Tang Dynasty as a backer.
"Princess, you don't have to kneel now." Qin Xiao said with a smile, "After you enter the palace, there will be someone in the palace to teach you palace etiquette."
Princess Zhendai immediately asked, "Is the Emperor sure you want to marry me?"
King Yongzang immediately stood up, pointed at Princess Zhendai and shouted, "Don't be rude!"
"It doesn't matter!" Qin Xiao said with a smile, "The king wants the two countries to get married and have good relations from generation to generation. I also have this wish. Don't you want the king not to?"
"I want to say that I have a bad temper and am ugly." Princess Zhendai said, "If His Majesty the Great Emperor disdains me, there are many beauties in Bohai, and it won't be a problem even if you want ten or eight."
Qin Xiao laughed and said, "The princess is wrong. I got married to you for the sake of good relations between the two countries, not for beauty. I have so many beauties in the Tang Dynasty and countless beauties in the harem. It doesn't matter that you are ugly. I don't care."
Because of your beauty, if Princess Bohai marries the Tang Dynasty, everyone in the world will know that Bohai is friendly to me, the Tang Dynasty. This is the most important thing."
Qin Xiao definitely has no feelings for Princess Zhendai, but from a public perspective, this marriage is indeed beneficial to the relationship between the two countries. From a private perspective, it is impossible for Qin Xiao to let Princess Zhendai return to Bohai.
with Eulchiwon
Panshuangshuangshuangfei.
Qin Xiao has not forgotten that Su Baoping died because of these people.
Although the biggest reason for Su Baoping's death was Dabasara Zhongxing's entry into the wild, Ulji Yuanban was not exempt from the blame.
Moreover, when Eulji Yuanban kidnapped him, he wanted to exchange his own life for Yuan Gaijian's life. He was full of malice, and Qin Xiao did not have any good impressions of Eulji Yuanpan.
If Princess Zhendai had not come to Beijing, Qin Xiao would not have thought too much about it, but now that she has come, she still imagines that she can go back and renew her relationship with Eulji Yuanban. That is simply a fantasy, and Qin Xiao will never accept it.
Otherwise it will be as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
Even if Princess Zhendai is allowed to guard the empty palace alone in the harem, Qin Xiao will not be so generous as to fulfill Yi Zhi Yuanpan.
Princess Zhendai wanted to say something else, but Qin Xiao had already told King Yongzang, "Your Majesty, I am very satisfied with this marriage. Don't worry, I will treat her well and will not let her be wronged!"
King Yongzang hurriedly thanked him.
Princess Zhendai bit her lip, and then she saw Qin Xiao smiling at her. The smile seemed friendly, but it was indescribably hateful. Princess Zhendai almost cried, but she was helpless.
, knowing that he would definitely not be able to escape Qin Xiao's grasp this time.
"When the king comes this time, he will stay here for a while." Qin Xiaodao said, "My enthronement ceremony will be held in two months, and the king will attend. In addition, I will also attend the ceremony before the king returns.
, complete the marriage with the princess, so that the king can rest assured."
King Yongzang thanked her again, and then cast a glance at Princess Zhendai, asking her to thank her immediately.
The princess had no choice but to bite her lip, and finally knelt down to Qin Xiao to thank him.
Kyoto in late autumn is different from summer. The air is as clear and cool as dewdrops, and the azure blue sky is as clear as if it had been washed.
The streets around Zhiming Academy seemed to have been covered with a layer of golden clothes, with leaves falling to the ground one by one, and yet there was something magnificent amidst the desolation.
Beside the bamboo forest in the academy, two old men were sitting by the pond fishing.
Nearby a bamboo house not far away, there was a chessboard on the floor. Two women were sitting opposite each other, holding chess pieces and playing chess.
Qin Xiao stood far away on the edge of a rockery, looking at one of the women playing chess in surprise.
He finally found time to leave the palace today and came to the academy in disguise to visit the two great masters.
The lifelong skills of the two great masters had been acquired by Qin Xiao, and Qin Xiao also knew that such a loss would be a fatal injury to the two old men who were more than seventy years old.
Mr. Er also made it very clear that Master’s lifespan is only two years at most.
Regardless of the master or the fire god, Qin Xiao deeply felt the kindness of the two of them and had long wanted to come to visit him. However, after sitting on the throne of the emperor, especially when he had just ascended the throne, he seemed to have too many things to do, and it seemed that everything was
They all have to be done.
If it weren't for Mei'er by his side, Qin Xiao didn't know if he would have been able to survive.
I finally found some free time today and immediately sneaked out of the palace.
But when I arrived at the place where Master De lived, I was stunned for a moment when I saw the two women playing chess.
One of them was Du Hongye, and the other turned out to be Hanizi.
He really didn't expect that Hanizi would be in the academy. For a moment, his mind was a little dazed, and he only felt that he was in a dream.
Honey
Zi was under the command of the old man of Zhongshan and appeared in Xiling as a secret agent, so he became associated with Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao later took Hanizi to the Utuo Khanate, but he also asked Hanizi to return home with an elite caravan.
That was many years ago.
He still remembered that because the poisonous murder of Prince Xiye was discovered, Yuwen Chengchao and others tried to kill her, but Qin Xiao finally saved her and left a bag of gold coins for her to leave. From then on, heaven and earth were separated from each other.
I haven't heard anything from the other party either.
Who would have thought that Hanizi would appear in front of him.
He was in a daze, and Hanizi finally raised his head and glanced this way. When he suddenly saw Qin Xiao, he was also stunned for an instant.
Hongye turned around and saw Qin Xiao looking straight at Hanizi, and couldn't help but frown.
Hanizi is so stunningly beautiful and full of exotic charm that every man will look at her more than once.
Hongye didn't know that Qin Xiao and Hanizi were old acquaintances, but when she saw Qin Xiao staring at a beauty so unscrupulously, she thought Qin Xiao was greedy for beauty, and she felt a little unhappy.
But suddenly he saw Hanizi stand up, float out like a butterfly, and fly towards Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao stood by the rockery and did not move. Only when Hanizi arrived in front of him did he see Hanizi's eyes filled with tears.
"Little brother!" Hanizi looked at Qin Xiao and asked as if he was dreaming, "How are you?"
Hanizi is still as bright and beautiful as before, but her charming aura has disappeared a lot, and she has become a bit more mature.
The sudden encounter made Qin Xiao feel unreal.
"I'm fine, how are you?" Qin Xiao came back to his senses and sighed softly, "Why are you in Kyoto?"
"I returned to Jingjue and met my family." Hanizi said, "I thought I would never see you again." Thinking of Qin Xiao's question, he turned around and pointed to the fire god by the pond, "I met the old man.
, he wanted to find the old man in the mountains, and I took him to find him. He wanted to go back to Datang, and I wanted to find you, so I came to Datang with him."
When Qin Xiao heard this, he felt even more incredible.
The Western Region has a population of one million, but the Fire God happened to meet Haniz, and even got help from Haniz to find the old man in the mountains.
"You came to Datang to find me?" Qin Xiao asked in shock.
"When we parted, I promised you that if I owe you a life, I will definitely pay it back to you." Hanizi's eyes were like the bright moon, staring at Qin Xiaodao, "I have found you and am willing to become your slave."
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want a slave, and I don't want anyone to be a slave." After a pause, he finally asked, "Has your sister been redeemed?"
Qin Xiao also vaguely remembered that Hanizi's sister was sold into slavery, and Hanizi returned to his hometown in the hope of freeing his sister.
"Use the gold coins you gave me to redeem her." Haniz said, "She married a good man. I have nothing to worry about."
Over there, Hongye saw Hanizi and Qin Xiao looking like they were reunited after a long separation. Their beautiful big eyes widened and they were in disbelief.
She came over, saw Hanizi crying, and saw Qin Xiao with a sigh on his face, a little confused, and asked, "Do you know each other?"
"My little brother saved my life back then." Hanizi said seriously, "I said I would repay him."
Hongye looked Qin Xiao up and down, and kindly reminded him, "Hanizi, look carefully and don't mistake him for the wrong person."
"No." Hanizi said, "His appearance is engraved in my heart. I will think of his appearance every day. I will never forget it and I will never admit my mistake."
Hongye suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He glanced at Qin Xiao with complicated eyes, but without saying much, he turned around, crossed his hands behind his back, and walked away slowly.
"Hahahaha!" Suddenly, they heard loud laughter. The two of them followed the sound and looked over, only to see that the fire god had already pulled up the fishing rod and caught a fish.
Qin Xiao said softly to Hanizi, "Let's go over and have a look." He walked over quickly and saluted first to the Master and then to the God of Fire.
"Being an emperor is tiring, isn't it?" The Master stroked his beard and said with a smile, "There was only one fish in the pond, but it happened to be caught by your master. How could he not be happy?"
But the Fire God said proudly, "Little apprentice, come and see, this old guy is not as capable as me. He said there is only one fish in this pool, come and see, I caught it."
"Master, it's true that a god descended from heaven." Qin Xiao also laughed and said, "I will personally cook and make fish soup for you tonight."
The fire god said happily, "Okay, okay." But he took off the fish and handed it to Qin Xiao, "Bake it into fish soup and divide it into two!" Seeing Hanizi behind Qin Xiao, he changed his words and said, "Cut it into three!" But he saw Hanizi behind Qin Xiao again.
When the master looked at him with a smile, he hesitated and said, "Divide it into four parts, one for each of the four of us."
Qin Xiao looked at the small fish in his hand and couldn't help but smile.
"Little girl, I'm sleepy, take me to bed." The Fire God was about to get up, but maybe he couldn't get up because he had been sitting for a long time. Hanizi hurriedly stepped forward, and Qin Xiao also stretched out a hand, both hands
The man helped the fire god up.
Although the Fire God was in a good mood, his face was haggard and dull. Qin Xiao saw it and knew that this was all due to the loss of skill.
At the beginning, the God of Fire was majestic and unstoppable with his martial arts skills, but now he is just a haggard old man, and it is difficult to even stand up.
"I'm going to sleep!" The Fire God said to the Master, "Tomorrow I will put a fish in the pond and we will compete again."
The Master smiled and said, "As you wish."
Hanizi then helped the Fire God to rest.
Qin Xiao put the fish in the water dish next to him and asked softly, "Master, how are you doing?"
"Don't worry." The master smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how long you live. What matters is whether you have no regrets when you die."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly and said, "Master's complexion doesn't look very good!"
The master looked calm and said warmly, "I was once ashamed of Emperor Dezong, but I finally paid off my debt. Now I only owe your master a debt, but I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in this life."
Qin Xiao felt quite sad when he heard this.
"Don't think too much." The Master said softly, "Just do what you should do and be clear of your conscience." After a pause, he pointed to the bamboo house not far away, "There is a kitchen behind the house. Your master wants to cook for you.
You should also contribute your share to the fish soup."
Qin Xiao knew that there was no need to say more nonsense. He would definitely not tell him to govern the country well and bring peace to the world. He immediately picked up the water dish and went to make soup.
As the sun set, Qin Xiao finally brought a bowl of fish soup into the bamboo house and saw Hanizi sitting at the door and the Fire God lying down on the floor inside the house to sleep.
Seeing Qin Xiao bringing the bowl over, Hanizi stood up to take it. Qin Xiao shook his head, walked quietly to the room, and put down the soup bowl. Suddenly he realized something, his body shook, he looked at the God of Fire, and called out softly.
"master!"
The fire god was lying there quietly, making no sound.
Qin Xiao couldn't detect any breath from the Fire God at all.
He walked to the Fire God and knelt down gently, but he already understood that the Fire God passed away quietly in his sleep and did not drink the fish soup.
