Be Good Chapter 2575: Princess
Xie Yuanmiao didn't ask this time, but instead said: "The marriage envoys from the Western Regions are coming soon, and the emperor will receive him with a state banquet. According to the time, all the princes and nobles will be present."
Gu Le'an looked at Xie Yuanmiao in surprise.
So fast?
Then why did he tell her this?
She asked him cautiously, "Have you decided on a candidate?"
He did not avoid answering this time, "No, this time the princess of the Western Regions chooses herself and her relatives."
Gu Le'an heard her heart thump, and fell to the ground, and asked: "Will your lord attend?" She became inexplicably uneasy.
Xie Yuanmiao gave her a cold look, "Do you want me to attend?"
"Of course not," she blurted out, but it's not something she can decide. In this way, the little girl should have cried because of this matter just now.
Although she has never met those relatives of the royal family, they have a very bad reputation. She heard a lot about them in the theater, and they are all second-generation ancestors who rely on the protection of their ancestors. If it is out of political considerations, it may be Considering more factors of tradeoffs, Xie Yuanmiao may not be selected, but if the princess of the Western Regions chooses her son-in-law, with Xie Yuanmiao's demeanor, the winning bid rate is almost 90%!
She has just made some substantial progress with him, is she about to be meddled?
At this moment, Gu Le'an understood Xu Xiangyao a little bit. After working so hard for so long, but watching his beloved miss him, this sour feeling is really unbearable.
She said sullenly: "If the princess of the Western Regions takes a fancy to your lord, will your lord just follow her?"
Xie Yuanmiao was a bit hesitant to obey this word, and originally wanted to answer her, but seeing her worried look, he took it back, closed his eyes and rested, and let her guess wildly there.
Gu Le'an went back to the house in a daze, and he didn't even have an appetite for dinner.
Didn't get a good night's sleep, at breakfast, Gu Le'an went to look for Xie Yuanmiao with two big dark circles under his eyes, but heard from Yongyan that he was called to the palace early in the morning.
"Then why didn't you follow?" she asked Yongyan.
Yongyan didn't even give her a good temper, "What's none of your business?"
Seeing that his expression was worse than before, Gu Le'an was surprised, and rolled his eyes, "Has the assassin recruited?"
Yongyan's expression immediately turned cold, "Why are you asking this?"
She pointed to her face, "It's none of my business?" She asked back.
He seemed to be afraid, and immediately closed his mouth tightly, snorted coldly, leaving only the back of his head for her.
This pair of master and servant, who didn't know it, thought they were brothers, and their small movements seemed to be carved out of the same mold.
Seeing Yongyan and Yan Yuese greeting Yongfeng, seeming to whisper something, and then they both looked at her, Gu Le'an laughed angrily.
The two of them don't know what bad things they are planning.
Since Xie Yuanmiao was not there, Gu Le'an went out to look for Xu Xiangyao because he couldn't find anything to ask others.
This time the location is still set at Jinxiang Building, although it is hard to get a seat there, but Ouyang Li said that in order to thank her for her idea, he welcomes her to go anytime.
Xu Xiangyao did not miss the appointment this time, and arrived a little earlier. Seeing that her eyes were swollen like walnuts, Gu Le'an originally wanted to tease her, so she couldn't help but put it down.
I didn't eat dinner yesterday, Gu Le'an was really hungry, and Xu Xiangyao didn't seem to have eaten well either. The two of them looked at the food in front of them as imaginary enemies and quickly eliminated them.
But at the table, you come and go and you still refuse to give in to each other. After a meal, there is an inexplicable feeling of common hatred and hatred.
Gu Le'an was the first to raise his glass generously, "How about a temporary truce between us and annihilate the enemy first?"
Xu Xiangyao also toasted solemnly, "Okay, temporarily truce, annihilate the enemy first."
The glasses clinked, and the two drank their glasses proudly. After putting down the glasses, their eyes met, and they couldn't help laughing.
"Share the information." Seeing that the battle lines have been unified, Gu Le'an hurriedly obtained information.
Xu Xiangyao chuckled, "Okay, you also have to exchange information."
Gu Le'an nodded, "Tell me about the origin of this princess from the Western Regions first."
"I only know her name is Qi Zhiyan, but I haven't found out about the rest." Xu Xiangyao sighed.
"Then do you think this princess of the Western Regions will choose an adult?"
Xu Xiangyao looked confused, shook her head, expressing her ignorance, and then sighed: "This marriage is imperative, if..."
She didn't continue to talk, but Gu Le'an understood. He was depressed for a moment, and said again: "The Western Region is marrying Daqi at this time, is it because Daqi wants to go to war with Beijiang?"
Every political marriage has its own purpose behind it, and Xiyu chose this time to get married, presumably because he is optimistic about Daqi.
Xu Xiangyao nodded, "Since the emperor was assassinated at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the imperial court has started collecting food and conscription, presumably to use troops against northern Xinjiang."
"The emperor was assassinated at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?" Gu Le'an's eyes moved, and everything was right.
Xu Xiangyao nodded, "But the emperor is fine, it will cause panic, and this matter will be kept secret for the time being."
"It seems that this war is inevitable." Gu Le'an let out a deep breath. She was born in a peaceful age, and after coming to this troubled world, she misses the stable world most.
When the war comes together, I don't know what the situation will be.
Speaking of this, Xu Xiangyao's expression turned dark, "In order to welcome the princess of the Western Regions, the emperor postponed the itinerary of the military parade, which shows that he attaches great importance to this marriage."
After hearing this, Gu Le'an had a different opinion. Military parades have always been for the purpose of showing one's own national strength to the outside world. The emperor postponed the time of the military parade, probably because he wanted the Western Regions to come and see how powerful Da Qi is.
"I begged Shi Zigege not to go to the banquet, I can find any excuse, but Shi Zige said that the emperor has ordered him to attend." Unable to suppress the boredom in his heart, he spoke out.
When Gu Le'an heard this, his heart sank immediately. The emperor seemed to have an idea.
"Then this is really difficult."
Xu Xiangyao burst into tears when she heard it.
Gu Le'an couldn't bear it, he struggled and said, "Why don't we spread some rumors, so that the princess of the Western Regions will retreat in spite of difficulties?"
Xu Xiangyao sniffled her nose and pressed back her tears, "Does this work?"
"How do you know if you don't try?" Gu Le'an moved a chair close to her, and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry about what shocking things I said, just don't make a sound, there are people here to thank you."
When Xu Xiangyao nodded, she said in a low voice: "I don't have any manpower now, so I will leave this matter to you. When the time comes, I will tell you, my lord..."
Xu Xiangyao's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets in shock, but she still remembered Gu Le'an's entrustment, and said in a low voice, "Are you all right, spread such rumors."
"This is the most lethal!" After Gu Le'an finished speaking, he carefully glanced at Yongfeng and Xiaoyu who were sent away by her.
