After Wei Zhong finished reading the imperial edict, he placed it on the table and immediately said goodbye and left.
He didn't dare to stay a little longer, because Princess Yongle looked at him in a very wrong way.
The same goes for Your Majesty. If you can't issue an order at any time, you have to wait for others to get up and eat.
It's okay to be the Marquis of Anding County, but I can't help Princess Yongle who likes to come to other people's homes for food.
Look at the look in Princess Yongle's eyes when Yaxing almost wants to eat someone because she was disturbed.
I can't afford to offend him, I just slipped away.
Xiao Ruxue blinked, looked at Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing, the emperor asked you to go on a mission to the Kingdom of Zhou."
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Yes, now that the Chu State has won one after another, most of the people in the court are fighting for the war. We need someone who is not a war leader and is good at negotiation to go to the Zhou State to resolve territorial disputes."
Xiao Ruxue blinked her eyes and said, "Sister Mingyue is also in Zhou Kingdom. Will you see her then?"
Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily. Princess Mingyue is not favored and is a concubine. Although she is an adult, she is not qualified to open a palace. She should still be living in the deep palace. And if Mingyue is not allowed by the emperor, there is no way to leave the palace.
of."
Xiao Ruxue immediately lowered her head when she heard Xu Qing's words: "That's it... then Sister Mingyue is so pitiful. Sister Mingyue should not have been allowed to go back in the first place."
Xu Qing shook her head and said: "Your sister Su tried to persuade Mingyue to stay, but Mingyue refused."
Li Mingyue was born to a palace maid, so it was impossible for her to enjoy the treatment of a normal princess.
In the past, Li Mingyue was just a victim of the political game between Zhou and Chu. Fortunately, he was able to escape from danger after meeting Su Qian, Xiao Ruxue and Long Bing'er. Now he is living in the deep palace again, and he doesn't know what happened to him.
Now that winter is about to begin, it is really not a good day to be on an mission at this time.
But unfortunately, territorial disputes will not be alleviated by the seasons.
Xiao Ruxue thought for a moment and looked at Xu Qing and said, "How about I go to Zhou Kingdom with you?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "No."
Xiao Ruxue pursed her lips unhappily and said, "Why?"
Xu Qing said: "Stay at home to help take care of Ning'er. It's very difficult for me to be alone..."
Prince Xian is not going on this mission. Su Qian cannot move to Prince Xian's mansion and take care of Princess Xian together. Now that Xiao Ning'er can crawl, Su Qian will not be at peace except when the child wants to eat.
An An looked at Ning'er steadily.
Ning'er also inherited Su Qian's restlessness and would often crawl around on the bed. Xu Qing was very worried that Xuan'er could not take care of her alone.
Of course, the bigger problem is that Xu Qing feels that the Xianwang will not agree to Xiao Ruxue following him. The Xianwang found out about Xiao Ruxue following him to Liuzhou last time. The Xianwang's face drooped for a long time. This time he
If he dared to take Xiao Ruxue to the Kingdom of Zhou, King Xian would probably dare to lead his troops to pursue him.
What old father would be willing to let such a juicy little cabbage travel abroad with another man?
In this case, Xu Qing might as well find an excuse to keep Xiao Ruxue here, so that when the time comes, Xiao Ruxue secretly follows him and the King Xian chases after him.
After not seeing Li Mingyue for such a long time, Xu Qing wanted to know how she was doing.
Li Mingyue and Su Qian were both children who lost their mothers when they were young. It can be said that they cherish each other and have always had a good relationship.
It would be great if I could see Li Mingyue when I go out this time.
By the way, I can also ask how Li Xun is preparing for the rebellion. Will he be able to become emperor in a few years?
When you become emperor, don't forget him as the major shareholder who provides funds!
After Xiao Ruxue finished eating, she went to play with Xuan'er. When Xu Qing walked to the bedroom, the little one was slowly crawling on the bed.
Nowadays, Ning'er can't take any time off as soon as she can crawl. It is estimated that she will not be at her current speed in a while.
Now that the chief envoy has been decided, the deputy envoy and his entourage have not yet been decided and it is estimated that it will take a few days before he can leave. When Xu Qing told Su Qian about the envoy, Su Qian just nodded and said nothing more.
He just asked him to pay more attention to Li Mingyue when he arrived in Zhou Guo, and told him in a very subtle way that he could catch sheep these nights.
This time Xu Qing was going to the battlefield unlike last time. Xu Qing's mission was much safer than the last time she went to the grassland to fight, and she felt more at ease.
After Xu Qing came back this time, it would only be two months before the couple separated again.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Except for the virtuous king and his family, no one in Chu State will be free to resist the decree.
But Su Qian didn't say anything about this. Although she also wanted to be with Xu Qingni every day, it was such a big deal that she couldn't stay in the Anding Marquis Mansion.
Since Su Qian can't help this husband now, she should give him as much freedom as possible and not make things difficult for him.
She just takes good care of Ning'er at home... ahem, she just watches Xuan'er take good care of Ning'er at home, and by the way, she can improve her martial arts.
Prince Xian's Mansion
King Xian had just finished handling the affairs of the Ministry of War. When he walked out of the study, he saw Xiao Ye, who had finished teasing Xin'er and Xi'er, preparing to accompany Zheng Waner for a walk.
This kid has been doing nothing all day long since he came back from the battlefield. He was either discussing his son's affairs with Zheng Waner, or wandering around with Xin'er and Xi'er in his arms.
Although he is a wise king, he still handles the affairs of the Ministry of War every day, right?
This kid has nothing to do every day!
Why can he be so free every day?
Thinking of this, King Xian asked someone to call Xiao Ye over.
After Xiao Ye came to the study, he looked at King Xian and asked, "What do you mean by the father bringing the child here?"
The wise king coughed and said, "There is some friction between the State of Zhou and our State of Chu over the issue of grassland territory."
After hearing this, Xiao Ye immediately rubbed shoulders and said excitedly, "Is there another battle?"
The Xian King waved his hand and said: "There is no need to fight this time. Your imperial uncle has decided to send an envoy to the State of Zhou to negotiate with the State of Zhou on territorial issues."
Xiao Ye heard King Xian's words and said, "Then why did the father ask the child to come here?"
The wise king said: "Although the candidate for the envoy has been decided, the deputy envoy has not yet been determined. Are you willing to go there?"
Xiao Ye immediately shook his head and said, "I don't want to."
He still wants to have a son at home, why should he go out at this time?
Are you kidding?
King Xian said: "Look at you, and then look at Xu Qing, you said you all have wives and sons, why are you so tired?"
Xiao Ye was startled: "This can also involve Brother Xu?"
The wise king arrived; "Of course, because the envoy this time is Xu Qing, he can uprightly leave his small family and run away from his homeland for the big country. Do you think you have the nerve to stay at home all day doing nothing and doing nothing, so you know how to make a son?"
