Emperor Lintian looked at Long Qi and the others, and said with a pointed smile: "Qi'er, you guys are not young anymore. My father's health is getting worse day by day, and my father also wants to see you earlier." If you marry a concubine and start a family, your father can have grandchildren earlier."
Concubine Lian smiled and added: "Yes, Your Majesty, our dynasty has no worries about beauties. If you look around, the whole Chang'an Street is full of beauties of all kinds. No, the second young lady of Zhang Yuanwai's residence is beautiful and gentle, and she is quite beautiful." Is the Seventh Prince a perfect match?"
The emperor looked in the direction directed by Concubine Lian and saw a woman in a purple gauze skirt standing at the crossbar in front of the corridor. She looked very gentle and quiet, and she seemed to get along well with Long Qi.
Emperor Lintian smiled and asked Long Qi: "Qi'er, what do you think of Zhang Yuanwai's daughter? Do you like her?"
Long Qi perfunctorily glanced at the woman in the purple gauze skirt following Emperor Lintian's gaze. He only glanced at it lightly, then withdrew his gaze and replied calmly: "It's okay."
Emperor Lintian knew about Long Qi's temperament. He remembered Feng Xi'er's refusal to marry and knew that Long Qi had finally come out of the gloom. He didn't intend to pursue the question any further. He turned to Long Shi and asked, "Xiao Shi, what about you, do you have your eye on any family?" girl?"
Long Shixiao replied evilly: "Father, there are so many girls that I like. It would be great if every one of them could be brought back to the house."
Long Ba beside him laughed.
Emperor Lintian glared at Long Shi and said seriously: "Nonsense, such a big man is not serious. He is either drinking or going to the dance studio all day long. Father, I see you. I just need a woman to take care of you."
Long Shi pouted mischievously, knowing that talking more would be useless, so he kept silent and waved his fan to look around, but Feng Xi'er never appeared.
Emperor Lintian changed the topic to Long Ba and said: "Ba'er, do you know the purpose of my father's holding this happy party? When my father came, he wanted to get closer to the people. The most important thing is... this time the emperor and the emperor wanted to get closer to the people. The marriage of the Nanyang Kingdom is no small matter. My father welcomes Princess Jingya with such a grand ceremony. You should know that my father attaches great importance to this alliance with the Nanyang Kingdom. General Yelu is here not only for the marriage, but also in front of everyone. In the face of the people of the Celestial Dynasty, they have allied with the great power of Nanyang. The Prairie King has become more and more rampant and has begun a secret alliance with the Sheng Kingdom. This is a great threat to our dynasty."
"Shengguo? Is it an independent country that has never had contact with the outside world?" Long Ba asked.
Emperor Lintian nodded: "Long Changwei of Shengguo is a tough guy with tough political methods and a strong military spirit. This Long Changwei climbed up from the bottom to the position of monarch at a young age without relying on any country. With the support of Shengguo, Shengguo became independent and independent. It relied on its own rich resources to become rich and powerful. It did not interact with other countries all year round. Long Changwei fought many victorious battles and defeated many invasions by foreign countries. Because of his strong and independent methods, the people of Shengguo People worship this Long Changwei very highly. Long Changwei's style of governing the country is clear between loyal and traitorous. He has killed many treacherous ministers and was named the King of Hundred Killers by the people. The other world is frightened by the news. No one has dared to invade the Sheng Kingdom for many years... "
When Emperor Lintian said this, Long Ba already knew what Emperor Lintian wanted to express.
"Father is worried that the powerful alliance between the Grassland King and the Hundred Slash King will threaten the dynasty? So he wants to form an alliance with the Nanyang Power!" Long Ba said the answer in his heart.
Emperor Lintian nodded: "The dynasty seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is troubled both internally and externally. Because of corruption in your uncle's family, I had to reluctantly eliminate the civil strife. The Queen's party was secretly killed. Now the dynasty only relies on your sixth brother to guard the borders. There is only Deputy Wei, but if we have General Yelu as an ally, we will have an extra layer of protection."
Long Shi had heard a little bit about this King of Hundred Slashes, and then said: "Father, I heard that this King of Hundred Slashes' political methods are more powerful and domineering than the King of Prairie, but this King of Hundred Slashes is really good to the people, and always considers the people. , are two extreme contrasts with the Prairie King. I went to Shengguo by chance and learned that the people of Shengguo extremely worshiped and respected the King of Hundred Slashes. The King of Hundred Slashes had an excellent reputation. The people said that this King of Hundred Slashes was upright and loyal. , I’m afraid it will be difficult for the Prairie King to win over the Hundred Slayer King.”
"In politics, there are only interests, no justice, and no guarantees. The dynasty must not sit idly by and wait for death. Marriage is the best guarantee," Emperor Lintian explained majestically.
Long Shi thought it made sense. He had never cared about politics and didn't understand it.
Long Shi saw Long Liu riding a horse from Chang'an Street and was so excited: "Brother Six is back..."
To express his gratitude, Emperor Lintian ordered Long Liu to go to the border to personally greet General Yelu and Princess Jingya.
The people on both sides of Chang'an Street watched with curiosity and surprise as Long Liu and General Yelu arrived on horseback. Both of them were excellent battlefield elites. They were sitting on white horses, with tall bodies and steady demeanor. They were riding together and talking. , seemed friendly and pleasant. The people around saw this and ordered them to cheer and whisper in whispers.
Princess Jingya was sitting in the carriage, listening to the lively sounds of joy outside. She couldn't help but curiously opened the curtains of the car to look out. She happened to meet Long Shi's unintentional gaze. The two looked at each other, one shocked and the other shy.
Long Ba was shocked by the beauty of Princess Jingya. The rumors were indeed true. This Princess Jingya had a noble and dignified temperament, and her facial features were stunning at first glance, especially those big bright eyes, which seemed innocent and innocent, giving people a feeling of innocence. Especially good.
Long Ba was even more surprised as to why Princess Jingya looked at him so shyly. The unabashed admiration in his eyes made Long Ba feel baffled.
Long Ba clenched his fists at the corners of his mouth to hide the embarrassment in his eyes, and quickly looked away.
Princess Jingya peeked at Long Ba's cute move, she grinned brightly, put down the curtain with a shy smile, straightened her body, held her chest with both hands, her face turned red, and her heart was beating fast.
Princess Jingya was surprised and at a loss. Next, she would see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince soon. She was so excited that her face was red and her heart was about to jump out. It's almost here, it's almost there. Princess Jingya's heart was filled with time. Spending every minute and second, thinking silently.
Emperor Lintian winked at Longba, who nodded knowingly, got up and walked down the stairs, stopping in front of Princess Jingya's carriage. Princess Jingya opened the curtain and looked into Long Ba's bright starry eyes. Her heart beat uncontrollably and her face turned red.
Long Ba saw Princess Jingya looking at him with a blushing face. He rolled his eyes in embarrassment and chuckled politely: "Princess Jingya, please get off the carriage."
Princess Jingya reacted and lowered her eyebrows shyly. Then she raised her head and smiled and put her hand on Long Ba's palm. Long Ba smiled back and held Princess Jingya's hand thoughtfully and gentlemanly. The two of them had a tacit understanding, and Jingya didn't hesitate. Not delicately, he took Long Ba's hand and jumped out of the carriage with a swift movement.
Long Ba glanced at Princess Jingya with admiration, and without hiding it, directly praised: "I didn't expect that Her Highness the Princess looks petite and exquisite, not delicate at all, but much neater and neater."
