But Si Tu, who was on the line rationally, keenly grasped the "important matter" in Liang Zhen's mouth, and hurriedly asked,
"What's the matter?"
The official robe on Liang Zhen's body has not been changed, and a black cloak is draped over his shoulders, it can be seen that he hurried back from the palace.
Facing Jebe's provocative gaze, Liang Zhen approached Si Tu sideways, his thin lips curled up,
"Your Majesty called urgently, and please move back to the palace."
Hearing this, Si Tudai frowned suddenly, not noticing that the distance between the two was very close.
Someone hugged her waist, and Si Tu bumped into a firm and warm embrace.
"Speak as you speak, why are you so close to my wife?"
The meaning of the oath of sovereignty was obvious, but Liang Zhen didn't back down, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile that was not a smile,
"National affairs come first, and please forgive me, Your Highness the Ninth Prince."
Oh, Mrs. Huan, I'm afraid he doesn't know what happened at the border
Once this matter is confirmed, the marriage contract between the two is very likely to be annulled.
"Good, you go back first."
Situ gave Jebe the unreleased lantern, and was about to turn around and leave, but he stopped him.
"I'm with you."
Jebe raised his eyes and spoke firmly.
"Please trouble Young Master Liang to let out a horse so that my wife and I can ride together."
He didn't feel at ease letting Ah Tu stay with this wolfish and ambitious person in the middle of the night.
Holding Situ's waist, Jebe flew onto the horse, whipped his whip, leaving only a cloud of dust.
The Liang Zhen people who were eating dirt behind them were all stupid.
He rode a horse in total, okay
The fierce horse galloped, and after Si Tu showed his token, he walked through the long corridor.
The imperial palace at night is extraordinarily oozing, like a wild beast with its bloody mouth wide open.
The Taiji Hall was brightly lit, Xihe's gait was a little anxious, and Dai's eyebrows were tightly frowned.
"Your Majesty, the Third Highness has arrived, and the one from Jiuli has also arrived."
Ah Nian asked the people in the hall if they wanted to arrange Jebe elsewhere.
"Two people came together?"
It's strange.
Si Tu always put state affairs first, so it was rare for him to bring Jebe to the main hall.
"Looking at her attire, she should have come here in a hurry after viewing the lanterns from Suzaku Street."
Ah Nian recalled the outfits of the two of them, so said.
"Then let both of you come in. I just want to know what this Prince Jiuli has in mind!"
The two entered the hall together, fortunately Aunt Fang taught Zhebe the etiquette, and he never left behind.
Xihe handed Situ the urgent report just delivered from Lincheng, but his eyes were sizing up Jebe.
Zhebie, who changed into Da Zhou's costume, was naturally not inferior to the man from Shangjing, and even more brilliant than him.
He raised his eyebrows in a respectful manner, and his posture was neither humble nor overbearing. He seemed to be a law-abiding master.
"Isn't there already a treaty between the two countries?"
Her marriage contract with Zhe is the guarantee of peace between the two countries.
But now, Jiuli has plans to unilaterally tear up the contract, and wants to unite with the Western Regions to counterattack Dazhou.
"The friendship between the two countries, either you lie to me, or I lie to you, Jiuli's move..."
Xihe hesitated to speak, his eyes fell on Jebe, as if he was waiting for an explanation from him.
"There must be a misunderstanding. Dazhou and Jiuli have long been married, and the father is definitely not a treacherous person."
As early as fifteen years ago, Emperor Zhao sent his younger sister to Jiuli to get married, and now she is Jebe's father's second concubine.
"But according to the information I have, the Lord of Jiuli doesn't seem to pay much attention to the covenant between the two countries."
Once Jiuli rebels and the door to the Western Regions opens wide, Da Zhou is bound to suffer a lot.
Jebe lowered his eyes, bowed his hands and said,
"If your majesty trusts me, I can go down to persuade my father on your majesty's behalf."
Jebe put on a particularly respectful posture, and even called himself a 'subject'.
"What if I don't believe it?"
A pair of sharp eyes glanced at Jebe, but his back was still straight, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Then put on the battle armor and fight for the Great Zhou!"
Si Tu suddenly raised his head, just in time to bump into his affectionate eyes.
"The friendship between me and the three princesses can be learned from the sun and the moon, and no one can separate us!"
Zhebe's loud voice echoed in the hall, those firm eyes moved people's hearts.
"Mother, I believe in Jebe."
Taking the initiative to hold his thick and warm palm, Si Tu raised his head and smiled lightly in return.
She believed in his friendship, in everything about him.
The majestic voice came from the dragon chair, Xihe withdrew his gaze,
"Of course I don't want another war to happen. Since my son-in-law has this heart, I will designate you as a special envoy to the Western Regions to go to Jiuli."
"My humble minister, I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty's expectations!"
After receiving the imperial decree, Jebe leaned over to salute, and a dark light flashed across his dark eyes that was difficult to detect.
On the way back, neither of them said a word, they walked towards the stars.
Taking out the two lanterns in his arms, Jebie smiled softly,
"The lanterns haven't been set yet, let's go to the moat."
"Today is your birthday, I listen to you."
Since he wants to set off lanterns, she will accompany him.
When the night was over, there were few pedestrians on Suzaku Street, and even the vendors started to clean up their shops.
The two dismounted and walked to the bank of the moat.
Si Tu lit a lantern, placed it by the river, and gradually disappeared from her sight as the water surged.
Putting his hands together, Situ closed his eyes, and was about to make a wish, when Jepe's teasing laughter came from his ears,
"You Central Plains people seem to like making wishes very much."
Make a wish when setting off fireworks, and make a wish when setting off lanterns.
There are so many wishes to be fulfilled, but the gods are really busy.
"Firework wishing is to bless the country and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is managed by the gods, and the god of flowers is to bless the harmony between husband and wife."
Si Tu patiently explained that she never believed in this before, but now...
Looking up to meet his tender gaze, Si Tu's heart was completely soft.
"Then Ah Tu... what wish did you make?"
But what about his wish
"I have a lot of wishes, so I have to whisper them to the Flower God."
Closing his eyes again, Si Tu folded his palms together and meditated:
I wish you a thousand years,
Two wish good health,
The three wishes are like Liang Shangyan, seeing each other often every year.
"Then maybe I have a wish."
He lit his lantern and placed it by the river, and Zhebe imitated her movements with a pious expression.
On the way back to the Princess Mansion, the two held hands and supported each other as they walked like ordinary couples.
"What did you wish for just now?"
Unable to bear curiosity, Si Tu tugged at his sleeve and asked coquettishly.
The laughter in her ears was as sweet as silver bells, Jebe stopped, leaned over to her ear and said,
"Kiss me once, and I'll tell you."
"That's a good deal, but don't go back on your word."
Si Tu's red lips brushed against his cheek like a dragonfly.
"Okay, tell me now."
He is too tall, Si Tu can only worry about his feet, so that he can feel that he is not inferior to him in terms of momentum.
"Ah Tu is not good, and he is taking advantage of me again."
This kind of... is not a real kiss.
