Agula frowned when he heard Xu Qing's words and said: "The Marquis of Anding County is from the Central Plains. He should know that in-laws are more reliable than protons."
Xu Qing said: "Of course I know this, but if the second prince of your country wants to marry me, the Princess of the Central Plains, I'm afraid he will have to wait for a while."
Agula heard Xu Qing's words and said, "We have been talking about it for more than a month. At worst, we have to wait another two months. My mission can afford to wait."
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't just be as simple as two months."
Agula was stunned and said, "Not two months? How many months?"
Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, "It will take at least sixteen years."
"Sixteen years?!" Agula's eyes widened: "Is the Marquis of Anding County just having fun with me?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Don't you dare? It's just that all the princesses of Chu State have been married off. Apart from a few underage princes, there are no princesses left under your Majesty's knees. Even if I start working hard for your Majesty now, your Majesty
If the country wants to marry our princess, it will have to wait for the princess to be born and grow up, right? And there is no guarantee that the child born will be a princess."
Agula: "..."
He never imagined that it would be like this. There would be no princess in Chu State!
What should I do?
Xu Qing looked at Agula and said, "If your country insists on using marriage as a link to form an alliance, I'm afraid you will have to marry the princess of your Khan, but now all the adult princes of our Chu country have already
When it comes to marriage, I'm afraid the main concubine won't be able to become one, but the side concubine can still do it."
Agula couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he heard this. If they marry someone from the grassland, they can only be concubines?
This is a bit underestimating their grassland, right?
Although the nominal princess she married was actually the adopted daughter of the Khan, it also meant that their in-laws from the grassland could only be one concubine?
It would be fine if their grassland was weaker than the Chu State, but now that their grassland is in the north, they are not much weaker than the Chu State with firearms, and their territory exceeds that of the Chu State. If they are just a concubine, it would be too much to look down on them.
Is it a grassland?
Xu Qing looked at Agula and continued: "By the way, as far as I know from Chu State, your country's Khan doesn't seem to have a daughter, right? Since neither your country nor our country has daughters, how can we talk about two in-laws? Is it possible?
I, the State of Chu, randomly pick a maid in the imperial city to marry as a princess? Doesn’t this seem like our country is very insincere? Your country won’t accept it, right?"
When Agula heard Xu Qing's words, his expression became more and more embarrassing, because their grassland planned to select a beautiful woman from the tribe to marry...
Now, people have already said it in advance, let alone we don’t have a princess, you don’t have a princess either, it would be insincere to find a random girl to adopt as a princess.
The more Xu Qing said this, the more pain Agula felt on his face.
Looking at it this way, the second prince's visit this time was in vain, and the beautiful woman selected by the Khan from the Wan Yan Department was of no use.
I originally prepared double insurance, thinking that if this one didn't work, I would use another one, but I never expected that the Chu State would directly remove all their double insurances.
At the same time, Agula was horrified by the Chu State's intelligence capabilities on the grassland. They even knew whether their Khan had a daughter. You must know that their grassland knew very little about the status of the Emperor of Chu's children.
Moreover, when the Marquis of Anding County said these words, does it mean that he already knew through intelligence that Khan wanted to adopt a daughter?
What he said today was to embarrass their grassland and make them give up?
Just when Agula was thinking a lot in his mind, Xu Qing continued: "Since your Khan and our Majesty don't have daughters of the right age, they can't marry Qin and Jin, and can only take the path of sending protons to each other.
, but we still have many issues that have not been settled, and it would be too hasty to directly transition to exchanging protons at this time."
Agula sighed and said, "What the Marquis of Anding County said is true. I was reckless this time. Don't blame me."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "No, no, these are issues that both of us will face sooner or later. The messenger raised them first so that our court can consider them earlier. After all, if the two countries form an alliance, it will be of great benefit to both of us.
I only hope that the hopes of your two countries can converge and negotiate a win-win situation."
Xu Qing gave up his desire to marry and be married to the grassland. Of course, there is no way out. Then the grassland envoy may have to stay in Chu for another sixteen or seventeen years. Xu Qing is quite looking forward to it. In this case, Xu Qing
You can delay it as long as you want.
This was delayed until the wise king became impatient.
But it is a pity that Xu Qing can wait for these sixteen years, but the grassland cannot wait.
Sixteen years later, will we attack Zhou again?
The day lilies are already cold!
Maybe both the Zhou Emperor and the Khan were pushed away this time.
Now the situation between Chu State and the grassland is quite clear. Chu State is trying its best to delay, but the grassland cannot afford to wait.
Of course, it's not that the grassland can't wait, but that Wanyan Khan can't wait. The troops of Wanyan tribe and the tribes he loyal to are definitely exhausted after years of fighting. A month or two of rest at this time is definitely beneficial.
It's harmless, but Wanyan Khan, whose ambition has been growing, obviously doesn't want the army he finally trained on the battlefield to be so cultivated.
After Xu Qing directly rejected the idea of a marriage with Agula, he returned home to cook for Su Qian. Now he couldn't starve his wife. Starving his wife meant starving his children.
Moreover, Su Qian's consumption these days is not as high as usual, because after giving birth to the burden in her belly, she has been practicing martial arts all day long.
Every time Xu Qing tried to stop her, he would say that it was just a moderate exercise, and she wouldn't want to stop until he took her away.
This made Xu Qing quite helpless.
But seeing that the lady still had nothing to do after practicing for so long, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
But it has to be said that Su Qian's martial arts practice is very effective. Her figure is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye every day.
Of course, the level of martial arts is also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There is nothing that Ning'er can do about such an irresponsible mother. Except when eating, there is no one to be found at other times.
Xuan'er probably knows how to be a good mother now than Su Qian.
Andinghou Mansion
after meal
Xu Qing walked into the bedroom and asked, "Where is Ning'er?"
Su Qian sat on the bedside, straightening the quilt with Xu Qing on her back, and said without looking back, "After eating, Xuan'er carried me to the cradle and fell asleep."
Xu Qing came up and put his chin on Su Qian's shoulder, put his arms around her waist, and said, "But my husband hasn't eaten enough yet..."
