Later, the emperor learned that Zhao Lan had given birth to a baby boy, so the matter was naturally dropped.
But now, Xia Chu is a woman, and if the emperor wants to fulfill his promise, then her husband can only be the prince.
After the battle in Chang'an, Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai supported Xiao Zimu. However, long before that, General Zhao had already held another edict from the emperor to establish the crown prince.
These days, General Zhao has no dissatisfaction with Xiao Zimu.
He could also see that Xiao Mubai had no intention of becoming the king, but now that Xia Chu was a woman, it seemed to General Zhao that it was okay for him to declare an edict that Xiao Mubai should succeed the crown prince and marry Xia Chu.
But this proposal was categorically rejected by Xiao Mubai.
He made up his mind and felt that the matter was of no importance, so he brushed off Xia Chu's suspicious questions and made fun of them.
Fengwu is located in the middle of Chang'an and Xincheng from the capital. Although we have to hurry along the way, we must also take into account the endurance of Wuma and Huacai.
Therefore, I walked for half a month before returning to Kyoto.
Xiao Zimu had already received the good news from General Zhao. The news of the great victory was announced after Zhao Xingwen was buried.
This move was also to buffer the city's sluggish atmosphere. Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai kept a low profile when they came to Beijing, and only informed Bingwen and Xu Wenlan.
Xian Li set off from Tianlu of Liang State and arrived in Yucheng first before rushing to Chang'an. In fact, he only arrived a few days longer than Xia Chu and the others.
When the two met again, the waves that surged in Xianli's heart were much stronger than those of Bingwen.
Bingwen had never experienced her hesitation and struggle, but he was still immersed in the grief of Zhao Xingwen's burial.
In the past few days, Xian Li helped Xia Chu interrogate Miao Heng.
Originally, when I left Beijing in the early summer, I was in a hurry to go to the Western Regions. I planned to take a trip to Wanzhou when I returned to Beijing.
Who would have thought that he would not have time to find Hu Yingmao when he left the Western Regions. After leaving Fengwu, Xiao Mubai sent a letter asking Hu Yingmao to escort Miao Heng back to Beijing directly.
Xian Li finished interrogating Miao Heng, and they were about to arrive in Beijing at the beginning of Xia. There was no letter informing them of the result, so they followed Bingwen and Xu Wenlan to wait in Yayue Pavilion.
Xu Wenlan still didn't know that Su Qian'an was suspected of being Xian Li's brother. He saw Xian Li looking around at Yayue Pavilion, and he looked much more anxious than himself and Bingwen.
He couldn't help but look at Bingwen: "You are quite calm. I didn't expect this girl to be so eager to wait for Mu Bai."
After all, the matter of whether they are siblings is not yet certain, so Bingwen did not waste any time on it. He glanced at Xu Wenlan lightly and said, "Worry about yourself more. Is there a way to get Mr. Xu to agree to the marriage?"
The letter of credence held by Yue Feng had already been sent to the Xiao Kingdom.
Xia Chu also mentioned this matter to Xiao Zimu in a letter. Naturally, he had no objections. Xu Wenlan was also willing to go. However, Xu Wanjun learned the news and did not agree with it.
The Xu family is a powerful and scholarly family. If Lan Yuying marries into the Xu family as the daughter of a marquis, Xu Wanjun will naturally be extremely happy.
But if Xu Wenlan is asked to marry into the Western Region, not to mention the poisonous obstacles in the Western Region, which are filled with snakes, insects, rats, and ants, and are frightened by hearing about it, Xu Wanjun will never be able to accept the marriage.
For a high-ranking family, it is a great shame and humiliation to let the legitimate son of the Xu family marry into the family.
Xiao Zimu did not expect Xu Wanjun's reaction to be so violent. What he thought was a matter of course, he would kneel down every day to ask for orders to withdraw his orders.
If Bingwen hadn't come to pick him up today, and absolutely guaranteed that he would not be allowed to run away to marry in the Western Region, Xu Wenlan would still be in confinement in the Xu Mansion.
Xu Wenlan just made a joke. Bingwen and Xianli, except for themselves who did not pierce the window paper, outsiders like them had already seen it.
Seeing Xian Li looking through the autumn water at this moment, I just wanted to stab him.
I never thought that Bingwen's reply would almost make me choke to death.
He coughed lightly with a scared look on his face: "Once this scholar becomes pedantic, it will be really scary. I don't expect Mu Bai to come back and give me advice."
While the two were chatting and laughing, they saw Xian Li hurriedly holding up her skirt and stepping down from the pavilion. Looking up, Xiao Mubai, Xia Chu and the other six people could be seen outside the North City Gate.
"Xianli, please slow down... I'm not in a hurry even if I'm back." Bingwen chased Xianli and took a step forward.
Xu Wenlan looked at the hot tea on the table that was still steaming. He was the only one left in Yayue Pavilion in an instant. As he walked out of the pavilion, he thought suspiciously, shouldn't he be the one who is the most popular? Urgent person
Xian Li ran all the way to the North City Gate, but after Xiao Mubai and his party entered the city, he timidly retreated and hid behind Bingwen.
Xia Chu knew that she was more timid because she was close to her hometown and didn't dare to ask the visitor.
He simply asked Su Qian'an to carry Xianli and go to Mingxiang Garden together.
Su Qian'an was suddenly called out among the crowd, and she was a little confused. She was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing. She looked at Xia Chu and said, "Master, men and women are not allowed to be intimate, so you should be the one to carry her..."
"Is it okay to kiss him if he accepts it?" Bingwen still didn't know that Xia Chu was a woman, so he immediately refuted his words.
Su Qian'an was teased by him and realized that Bingwen didn't know yet.
He couldn't make any judgments on his own, so he just kept mumbling, "He, he... I, I..." for a long time without even being able to formulate a complete sentence.
Xia Chu saw Xian Li silently take half a step back, turned to Su Qian'an and said, "Just let me carry you. Why are there so many nonsense? Chi Yi has a fierce temper and can't stand others riding on her."
Seeing that his words suddenly became serious, Su Qian'an did not dare to hesitate anymore and quickly reached out to Xian Li.
Bingwen pulled Xian Li out from behind and gave him a gentle push from behind: "Go quickly."
Su Qian'an on horseback had a smile on his face and looked like a warrior. He had broad shoulders and a tall figure. He looked very reliable and very masculine.
The outstretched hand is covered with wrinkles, which shows that he has been practicing diligently.
Although this was not the first time she met Su Qian'an, she had been an acquaintance with Su Qian'an in the past and rarely talked to him. Now she was filled with different emotions in her heart, and her eyes suddenly filled with mist.
Su Qian'an was startled when she saw this, and looked up at Xia Chu: "Young... Young Master, Miss Xianli is unwilling, how about we find a carriage to take..."
Before he finished speaking, the palm of his hand was tightened, and Xian Li had already taken his hand to fly into the air, straddling him gracefully.
Bingwen also got on Hansha's horseback to join him. Xia Chu asked Raven to send Wuma Hua off before returning home so that he could say hello to the Marquis.
When the two of them were riding away, Xu Wenlan happened to come over. He looked at the two horses in front of him, glanced at Xia Chu, turned to look at Xiao Mubai, and said with a smile: "How about me and the young marquis?" Sharing a ride?”
As soon as Xu Wenlan finished speaking, while Su Qian'an and Han Sa hissed, Xiao Mubai had already leaned over, picked him up and placed him on Zang Hong's back. He spurred his horse and whip, and at Xu Wenlan's cry, A great ride...
