"Although Qinghe Barbarian is a bit barbaric, he is naturally beautiful. All the women from the Central Plains like him very much."
Lin Jinxiao heard that she was complaining about him and deliberately joked.
"You are so beautiful."
Although Chu Nanzhi would not admit it, none of the princes and Qinghe dignitaries she had met these days were handsome and strong, and that was indeed the case.
The three states of Qinghe almost sounded like cocoons in her ears, and she really wanted to visit this land of abundant resources and treasures.
Thinking about his plan, Chu Nanzhi suddenly had an idea and asked: "Lin Dalang, you said that you are also of royal blood. Your family has been exiled to Luyan Port for many years, and now you have finally regained your title."
, have you ever thought about returning to the land of Qinghe one day to return to your hometown and worship your ancestors?"
If you are an ordinary family, you can naturally go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors.
But if the royal family wants to return home to worship their ancestors, most of them are privileges only available to the emperor.
Only with the emperor's permission can other relatives and nobles accompany him.
Lin Jinxiao didn't quite understand the meaning of her words, but he always felt that there was something in them, so he replied hesitantly: "The current situation is chaotic, and even His Majesty himself may not dare to talk about the matter of returning to Qinghe to worship ancestors."
After a pause, he placed his chin on Chu Nanzhi's forehead and said with a gentle smile: "What, you really want to follow me back to Qinghe to worship your ancestors?"
"Well, I will marry a chicken or a dog. Your wish is my wish. If you want to go back, I will accompany you."
Chu Nanzhi said very cryptically.
Lin Jinxiao, however, looked confused and shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get what I want. Returning to my hometown to worship my ancestors is not a trivial matter. Now that I have inherited the title, I have been criticized. Your Majesty has no children. If any prince can return to Qinghe to worship his ancestors on your behalf,
This will undoubtedly lead to groundless suspicion again."
Chu Nanzhi nodded understandingly.
At this juncture, Your Majesty will certainly not give anyone the opportunity to speculate on His will.
But His Majesty's health was deteriorating, and she felt extremely anxious.
Anyway, today the two of them have become a couple, and even the letter of separation has been burned. Chu Nanzhi did not want to leave a way out for herself anymore, and firmly decided to spend her life with him.
There are some things that he must know.
"Lin Dalang, Shaofu Yin mentioned your Majesty's affairs a while ago. Your Majesty's health is getting worse day by day. If anything happens to Your Majesty, have you ever thought about where this family will go?"
Looking up at him, Chu Nanzhi asked bluntly.
How she hoped that the pretty boy would be like her and not be a foolish and loyal person.
"Your Majesty treats me well. Even if he is really evil, I will do my best to defend the southern border for him and ensure peace."
Lin Jinxiao's tone gradually became deeper: "This must be the reason why Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager fought against all the odds to restore the title of King Pingning and promoted me to be the governor of Pingning Prefecture. All the counties and counties that are now included in Pingning Prefecture are
As long as Ping Ning Prefecture is safe for the fortresses extending from south to north, even if there is turmoil in Jinling City, it will not lead to invasion by foreign enemies."
At this point, he suddenly looked at Chu Nanzhi with a smile, and said in a relaxed and humorous way: "Look at our Luyan Port, it is really a land of abundant resources and treasures. It is the granary of Jiangnan and is protected by natural barriers everywhere. As long as we will
With all the military power of the Duwei Mansion in our hands, no matter how firmly we guard Pingning Prefecture, I am afraid that when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will not dare to mention the issue of reducing the vassal vassal again."
Chu Nanzhi quite agrees with this point.
She has studied the current landscape of the entire Pingning Prefecture, and has added many dangerous passes on the basis of the original fiefdom of King Pingning. If the passes are closed tightly and guarded by heavy troops, neither foreign enemies nor the imperial army will be able to defeat them.
Enter the hinterland.
I'm afraid this is also the escape route that the Empress Dowager is leaving for her grandson.
If it is really impossible to welcome him back to Beijing, letting him guard Pingning Prefecture can indeed challenge the imperial court.
But after all, this is a matter of risking the disapproval of the world.
Furthermore, there are too many variables.
Even if he and Lin Jinxiao can hold Pingning Prefecture in this life, they still have to make some plans for a few little ones.
Now that I have become their mother, I cannot just watch them sit and wait for death in the future.
It was also seen that Lin Jinxiao had no intention of looking northward at the moment, so for the present plan he had to go to Jingling City to meet the Queen Mother before making any plans.
"It's getting late, let's get up and go out to take a look."
Chu Nanzhi wisely stopped discussing this topic with him and motioned for him to get up together.
Inadvertently looking at his strong yet beautiful figure, Chu Nanzhi took a piece of handkerchief and wiped his sweat stains. She couldn't help laughing and said, "I'll be miserable for a long time now, and then I'll take a bath and change my clothes when I get home at night."
.”
These days, if word spreads about the affairs of a boudoir in broad daylight, it will always arouse gossip, and she will be the one to be criticized, and she does not want to suffer this.
Lin Jinxiao smiled lightly, and then understood what she meant. He picked up the bellyband and clothes on the ground and dressed her up neatly. Chu Nanzhi also put on the clothes for him, put on makeup, and the two walked out hand in hand.
Inn.
As soon as I arrived in the garden, I saw Sang Kun, brother and sister Sang Qi and housekeeper Zhao leading a group of boys, making a noise with others.
Chu Nanzhi looked carefully and saw that the visitors were none other than Princess Qian and Aunt Tang Yuanxi. They were heading straight into the garden with their guards.
"King Pingning, you are so brave. You dare to make my sister cry. Do you really think that now that you have become the king, you can do whatever you want without restraint?"
Seeing the couple, Lin Jinqian ran up to them angrily and started to accuse them.
"Princess, if you have anything to say, let's talk inside."
Chu Nanzhi had just forgotten to ask who the court was planning to marry to the pretty girl, but she didn't expect it to be Tang Yuanxi.
This made her feel much more relaxed immediately.
I thought it would be Princess Wanying or another relative of the imperial court.
If that were the case, she would really have a lot of worries.
Let's talk about Princess Wanying. This woman is already very scheming. She is also the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager and the cousin of Lin Jinxiao. It would be really difficult to deal with her if she were to be forced into the palace.
Princess Yuanxi is a different matter.
No wonder Lin Jinxiao was so angry when he came over.
He and the Tang family regarded each other as a serious enemy, and Tang Yuanxi still jumped into the fire pit, not intentionally making her feel uncomfortable.
After looking at the aggressive Princess Qian, Chu Nan Zhiwen spoke to Sang Kun in a gentle voice: "Big shopkeeper, clean up the pavilion yesterday and take the princess and the princess over to sit down and watch tea."
It's dinner time. If you encounter such plague gods, don't ruin the restaurant's business.
Sang Kun first took people to the pavilion to stop the craftsmen who were working, and cleaned the surroundings again, and then came over to lead everyone there.
When the group sat down, Lin Jinqian said arrogantly and forcefully: "King Pingning, this marriage is a foregone conclusion. Princess Yuanxi, you have to marry me or not."
Glancing at Tang Yuanxi who was still crying, Lin Jinxiao felt bored just looking at it.
He and Chu Nanzhi looked at each other in disbelief, but the couple couldn't help but smile at each other.
Lin Jinxiao suddenly replied knowingly: "Marry, of course I have to marry. The court granted me the marriage, and the princess is the daughter of the Tang family, but she committed herself to the palace to be a side chamber. How dare I be so ignorant of promotion."
