The ministers came and returned enjoying themselves. They only felt that the competition they had just watched was very satisfying.
It is indeed enough for them to be proud that Nanming can produce such a general.
Seeing the Tubo people leaving dejectedly, they felt as if they had won.
Mu Qingchao was also tired, so he got on the sedan chair and went back to Chaoyundian.
Behind her, Su Jingwen put his hand around Jiang Bo's neck: "Brother Jiang, okay, stop looking.
Although I can understand your feelings, there are so many people here, so you should try to avoid it."
After finishing speaking, he smiled obscenely again: "Would you like me to help you invite the little queen mother to the palace, so that you can see her all at once?"
When Jiang Bo heard his words, he suddenly came back to his senses.
"I didn't read it." He still only had two words.
If it weren't for the panic in his eyes, Su Jingwen would have almost believed it.
"Okay, okay, just be tough. Your eyes are almost on the little queen mother, and you still refuse to admit it."
Jiang Bo was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned around and walked out of the palace.
"Hey, Brother Jiang, you should wait for me."
**
After the night banquet, the Tubo began to live in Jinling.
There are dedicated people accompanying them to eat, drink, have fun, and do business with merchants.
I thought that the Tubo King incident was over, but unexpectedly, within a few days, he started causing trouble again.
Early that morning, when Jiang Bo had just finished sword practice and was reading military books in his study, Su Jingwen knocked on the door again.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, something bad is going to happen..."
Su Jingwen was familiar with the road and hurriedly broke into Jiang Bo's study without waiting for the concierge to come back.
"What's the matter?"
Jiang Bo didn't even raise his head, he turned over the pages of the book and said.
"Yes...it's the King of Tubo. He's so shameless. He lost such a big person a few days ago, and today he actually talked about the marriage in front of His Majesty, and...he even used the friendship between the two countries as a bargaining chip."
Jiang Bo's hand that was flipping through the book suddenly stopped.
He thought that the Tubo King was just teasing him with a few words, but he didn't expect that he was serious...
Still so persistent, even if you hit such a big wall last night, you still don't give up?
"Your Majesty will not agree."
After a long time, Jiang Bo finally calmed down his worried heart and pretended to be calm.
As expected, no matter what Mu Qingchao said, her identity was still the Queen Mother of Nanming. If she were to be sent for marriage, wouldn't it be a slap in Nanming's face?
"No, no, your Majesty agreed!" Su Jingwen said loudly.
The hand holding the military book suddenly tightened.
How can this be?
No, no, there must be something wrong...
He is going to the palace!
Almost without thinking, he stood up.
Just as he was about to walk outside, he saw the concierge coming in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here."
"Where?" Jiang Bo himself didn't realize how urgent his voice was.
"Waiting in the front hall. The Queen Mother said she has something urgent to do with you, so I took her to the front hall first and then came to inform you."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Bo said the word "ok" twice in a row.
After saying that, without any hesitation, he walked to the front hall.
"Hey, Brother Jiang, you should wait for me." Seeing this, Su Jingwen quickly followed.
"Brother Jiang, why are you so anxious today? I haven't even heard him finish what he said. It's really not like his usual style." Su Jingwen muttered behind him.
Jiang Bo almost rushed to the front hall. He didn't know why he was in such a hurry, but he felt that Mu Qingchao must have come to him because he had something he couldn't solve.
Is there anything that Mu Qingchao cannot solve?
Are you really going to get married?
Jiang Bo's heart seemed to suddenly sag. He didn't know why, but he thought of her getting into a carriage and traveling thousands of miles away.
Being alone and helpless in that place with no friends or relatives, his heart felt tight.
I finally made it to the front hall, and sure enough, I saw a beautiful figure standing there in the distance.
She wore a long skirt with purple silk and emerald patterns. The hem of the skirt was relatively large and was blown up by the wind, making her figure even more frail and petite. She seemed to know that he was coming and turned her head to look at him.
She shouted: "Your Majesty..."
Her voice was delicate and soft, and her eyes held a sullen look of sadness.
She said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. There is really nothing we can do about the sudden visit of the Ai family today. There is no one else but the Prince who can help the Ai family in this matter."
Jiang Bo's throat was choked, and he wanted to say a few words to comfort her, but he couldn't.
It took a moment to hold back the words: "You said."
It's just that his voice is dry and hoarse, not as calm as usual.
Mu Qingchao had a look of embarrassment in his eyes.
I opened my mouth, but couldn't say anything.
After repeating it several times, he said: "This...it's really embarrassing to say this. Maybe it's too embarrassing for you, the prince, so...just forget it."
What does Mu Qingchao think this matter has to do with Jiang Bo? If it was just in the past, what does it mean now that he is ordered to find someone in danger?
We are individuals, not tools.
But just as she was about to leave, Jiang Bo grabbed her hand from behind.
Turning around, he met Jiang Bo's concerned eyes.
He said: "Anything I can do to help."
"Really?" Mu Qingchao showed a hint of joy on his face.
"Seriously!" Jiang Bo nodded, so solemnly.
It turns out that Jiang Bo is not as unkind as he imagined. Maybe this matter will actually turn a corner?
With a little hope, Mu Qingchao asked him: "Then can you... can you... marry Princess Wan'an?"
"ah?"
Jiang Bo was stunned.
Are these two things related?
But Mu Qing said anxiously: "This is what Princess Wan'an asked the Ai family to ask. The King of Tubo proposed a marriage to Princess Wan'an, and His Majesty has already agreed.
Prince, do you still remember? The Ai family mentioned your marriage to Princess Wan'an before, but you had already refused.
But now that the Tubo marriage is underway, the only one who can help her right now is you, the prince."
"The one getting married...is Princess Wan'an?"
Jiang Bo was stunned for a long time before he finally came to his senses.
Turning around, he looked at Su Jingwen who was catching up behind him.
Su Jingwen felt a knife in his eyes and felt the wind blowing. He shrugged: "Brother Jiang, don't look at me like that. Didn't you leave in a hurry before I finished speaking?"
Mu Qingchao looked on at the side with a confused expression.
"What's wrong? Does the prince already know about this?"
"Your Majesty thought the one you were marrying was not Princess Wan'an? Then who did you think she was?"
Jiang Bo suddenly laughed.
This smile came suddenly, I don't know if it was self-deprecating or relieved.
Yes, he must be crazy. Why did Mu Qingchao go to get married?
All the women in Mannanming were dead, and it was not Mu Qingchao’s turn to marry him. What happened to him just now? How could he suddenly have such a ridiculous idea?
He reflected and made amends in a low voice: "No...no, it's just a temporary difference."
"oh."
Mu Qingchao didn't dwell too much on the question just now, he just asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, what the Ai family just told you..."
"Queen Mother!"
Jiang Bo interrupted Mu Qingchao before she could finish her words.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to ask, I don't want to," he said.
