"Nothing." Shen Zhe's emotions were complicated, but he remained calm on the surface. He gently said to his daughter, "Don't listen to people talking nonsense outside. Don't you understand that everything in the capital is just a gust of wind?"

"Daughter understands." Little Qing lifted his eyes, and his eyes revealed the same kind of temperament and light as her father. She was a Princess of the Prince Shen’s Mansion, the daughter of Shen Zhe, the country leader of the Daqi.

"Rest early. Don't let your thoughts run wild." Shen Zhe said.

"But, if the wind cannot blow, father, Little Qing is willing to be like you and brother, for the imperial court and Daqi, and for the emperor's brother, I am willing to go the Xiluo to reconcile the marriage." Shen Qing had a resolute expression, she was as brave as her father and brother, smiling as she said, "Father, Little Qing is not afraid."

"Silly girl, how could your parents bear it? Your mother would cry to death." Shen Zhe said, "Stop daydreaming. This matter ends here. Don't let your mother hear it. Don't scare her."

Shen Qing was naturally obedient, but she had already explained everything she wanted to. She only wanted to see how her father would choose, and she was willing to accept any decision.

After sending his daughter to the door of the study, he urged her to return early to rest. Watching his daughter's figure gradually disappear into the night, he let out a long sigh.

But the new monarch had his own way of governing the country. Perhaps today, he would be marrying the daughter of another family, and tomorrow, he would be marrying his own daughter out. His parents were the most common political means between countries.

But that won't do. Shen Zhe made a decision in his heart. Even if he were to give up all of his glory to marry his daughter to such a faraway place, he still wouldn't let her marry him. Otherwise, even if he was still alive, he would be like a living man.

He didn't want to see his wife and children sad. He had dedicated his entire life to Daqi.

It was a deep, dark night. Deep in the palace, the little princess, who was indulged in nightmares, woke up crying. The wet nurse couldn't coax her into hugging the empress's bed, so she could only happily lie between the empress and empress, looking left and then right, beaming.

"Little Scoundrel." The Queen kissed her daughter and patiently patted her shoulders, but the Emperor couldn't help but tease her. He scratched his hands and feet, only to be glared at by Siyan in the end.

However, the little princess was very close to her father. She climbed onto his chest and laid on his chest. After mumbling to herself for a while, it was as if she was talking to her father. She was patted so hard that she finally fell asleep.

"Tell the mama to carry him away. Otherwise, the emperor won't be able to sleep at ease tonight." Siyan said, she gently carried his daughter away, and went in front of the door and ordered the wet nurse to bring her away.

When he turned around, he saw his husband saying dejectedly, "I still want to hug her."

Siyan laughed, "Why didn't the emperor hug me?"

With one hand on his head and the other open, the emperor said, "Come."

The two of them snuggled up to each other and quietly listened to what was happening outside. Their daughter's voice didn't come again.

Xiang Run said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed. "Thinking about it, I can still see the scene of how I was bullied by my royal sister when I was young, but with the flick of a finger, I was so fast that I didn't even have the time to stop and take a look."

No one in the world dared to even touch her. However, ever since she entered the palace, everyone, including the empress, had said that the emperor was bullied by his sister when he was young. She smiled and asked, "How did the royal sister bully the emperor?"

Recalling the past, the Emperor was in an extremely good mood. These siblings were harmonious and loved each other. This was a rare occasion in this world.

It was also because of this that he chose to protect their brotherly relationship as much as possible when facing Bi Zhenye and Ling Yu. Unfortunately, Mrs. Bi was too venomous, which almost ruined his heart.

The couple continued their conversation late into the night. Siyan then asked, "The Emperor allowed that blue-eyed prince to stay in the capital. It's not that I want to interfere in the politics of the court. Your Majesty, there's word circulating outside the palace that you want to choose a lady from a noble family to go to the Xiluo to reconcile with your family. "

Xiang Run asked: "What did they say?"

Siyan said straightforwardly: "The most lively thing is that Little Sister Little Qing might have already been selected."

Xiang Run let out a heavy sigh and held Siyan's hand, stroking her slender and soft fingers, then said: "There aren't many people in the world who knows how Second Sister married her to the Jin Nation. They only know that Second Sister has feelings for her husband, and that's why they followed the fallen prince to that barbaric country.

"Your Majesty …"

"I want to compete with second and third brother." Xiang Run laughed bitterly, "Thinking back, the arrogance you had when you were young, is truly laughable."

"Second royal sister and the emperor of the Jin Kingdom are indeed good words to say." Siyan said, "At least Second Sister married the man she loves."

"Perhaps …" The emperor rolled over and hugged his wife. "But if I stay, I'll meet someone even better."

"Then what happened this time?" Siyan cautiously asked, "Does Your Majesty really have this intention?"

Xiang Run laughed: "It's not that I have that intention, it's that the king of Xiluo wishes to marry us, but look at that blue-eyed prince. Among all the countries of the Central Plains, his position in the clan of Xiluo is equivalent to a concubine that is born in a concubine. Do you know, the succession to the Xiluo has been in line since birth, men and women can all be emperors, regardless of virtue or folly, according to the status and age of their birth, as long as they have royal bloodline, they can even inherit the throne to become a member of the royal family? This way, this blue-eyed prince can be ranked who knows where. Although it is honorable, it is insignificant in the Xiluo. To go to sea and travel such a dangerous place, no nation would send their important Crown Prince there. "

Siyan understood and asked seriously, "So the Emperor doesn't think much of it?"

The emperor shook his head. "Of course he has to speak. He should have given the marriage contract to me the moment he arrived at the capital. If he does not speak, then what is there for me to be anxious about?" If you don't like it, then say something else. "

Siyan muttered to herself for a while and asked, "If they say yes, will the emperor agree? But the Emperor … That is a distance that we will never be able to return from, and any girl from any clan will be innocent. "

She even stood up and kneeled beside the emperor, "Your Majesty, chenqie knows that everything should be done by the imperial government of the country, with the greater picture as the priority. But chenqie is the empress, and chenqie has the responsibility to protect the women of Daqi. Your Majesty, please allow this concubine to plead with you in her mother Daqi Nation to not sacrifice any of us girls. Our Xiluo is too far away, we will never be able to return once we go. "

The emperor patted the back of her hand and said, "Yan'Er, go to sleep."

Although the two of them were lying down, Siyan was unable to sleep. She looked at her husband, not knowing whether he was asleep or not.

She felt that her husband was working very hard as an emperor. It wasn't because he was busy with government affairs or worrying about his country's plans. Just like how he had confessed to her before, he couldn't let go of the burdens in his heart.

Siyan's heart ached, and she turned his body, sticking to his own body. As expected, Xiang Run did not sleep, and so she took the opportunity to embrace her.

The night passed, and within the valley, the chirping of birds woke people up from their dreams. Xiaowan and Hanxi tidied up for a bit and then came out, only to see that the soldiers were already ready.

The warriors under the General Wei were truly disciplined and well-trained.

Ling Chaofeng then said to the two of them: "Today, we are going deeper so it would be inconvenient to bring you two along. There will be two soldiers here to guard you two, please do not run away. If you are unlucky enough to run into a beast, don't run away with your back to them. It would be better to face them head on. If our auras are frightening enough, perhaps we might have a bit of hope. "

Xiaowan was afraid in her heart, and did not want Ling Chaofeng to worry about her, so he only asked, "Husband, will you be coming out today?"

Ling Chaofeng nodded: "If you're fast, you'll be able to come out after noon. If you're slow, no matter what, you'll be out before nightfall."

Hanxi stood at the side and did not say a word, but unconsciously, she raised her eyes and looked towards the distant Wei Tengfei.

The mighty and domineering man inadvertently turned his gaze away. Their four eyes met, and Wei Tengfei smiled.

This smile made the timid girl feel overwhelmed. Hanxi hurriedly retracted her gaze, her heart thumping hard, not knowing what had happened.

"Husband, be careful with the general and everyone else." The Xiaowan warned repeatedly with worry, "Don't try to be brave."

Ling Chaofeng laughed: "I know, listening to my wife's words is a blessing, isn't it?"

Hanxi had seen the two of them acting in such a sweet manner. After the men left, they stood under a nearby tree and picked wild fruits, although Wei Tengfei had brought enough food and fruits to kill the hour.

After chatting for a while, Hanxi said: "Manager Ling dotes on sister-in-law. The way he looks at you and calls me a unrelated person, makes my heart warm. I've never seen a man look at his wife like that. "

Xiaowan laughed: "Where's Ershan, isn't he like that?"

Hanxi shook her head: "Brother Xingye naturally dotes on sister-in-law. It's just that the house is a mess, I don't have the heart to pay attention to the way he looks at sister-in-law."

The Xiaowan said: "There will definitely be people who will look at you like this in the future. Hanxi, you are really good-looking."

When she talked about how it looked good, she asked Hanxi, "Before you left the capital, have you ever seen a blue-eyed prince? He came from Xiluo, and stayed in our inn for the night before he went to the capital. I've never seen a man who was so beautiful. He's a man, why do I only want to say he's beautiful when I see him? "

Hanxi had heard of it, but she had never seen it. Now, she was no longer able to enter and leave the Royal Banquet as she wished, because her brother was a fifth grade teacher, so he was not qualified to bring his family to the banquet. Her father's resignation was also forbidden, and for the rest of the summer, she only cared about going back and forth from the prison everyday to serve her mother.

"It's quite lively in the capital, all the servants in the mansion are talking about it." Hanxi replied, "But I've never seen him before."

"He's been here for a long time. I thought …" Xiaowan did not finish. She still understood the logic and swallowed the words of the marriage alliance.

She took the initiative to say: "That prince, should be coming to Daqi Nation to propose marriage. It's a pity that we don't have any princesses of the same age, but if we were to choose from amongst the women in the aristocratic families …"

Her eyes lit up as she suddenly thought of something.
