It's just that this is the first city Zhao Yan was forced to come to, and he doesn't have many people with him.
In addition, Dayan and Qi Guozai have been causing trouble, so there is little need for him to take action.
He then had the idea of fishing in troubled waters and wanted to get some benefits from it.
Now it seems that it was his mentality that saved his life.
He asked Tang Miaoxin: "What is the deal reached between Dingbei Palace and First City?"
Tang Miaoxin replied: "My father has a grudge against Dayan. As long as it makes Dayan unhappy, my father will be happy to do it."
"So there is no need for any transaction between Guiqian and First City."
"The real purpose of my visit to the First City this time is to choose a son-in-law."
Zhao Yan was very surprised: "Choose a son-in-law?"
Tang Miaoxin opened her eyes and told lies: "Yes, my father has taken a liking to several young men in the first city and wants me to choose one of them to marry."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out, not caring whether Zhao Yan believed it or not.
After Zhao Yan got along with her during this period, he found that she was very interesting when she spoke.
She told half-truths and half-truths, and no one knew which of her words were true and which were false.
He asked from behind Tang Miaoxin: "So is it true that the princess chose her son-in-law?"
Tang Miao said without looking back: "Of course it's true."
It's just that the only person she chose as her husband-in-law was Ning Guzhou from the beginning.
Zhao Yan said loudly behind her: "May I ask Princess, do I still have a chance?"
Tang Miaoxin had already walked away and was too lazy to look back and tell him. She waved her hand directly, with a clear meaning: He had no chance.
Zhao Yan immediately understood what she meant when he saw her action, and for a moment he didn't know what to feel.
This time he came to the First City and was taught a hard lesson.
The guard beside him whispered: "She is just a little princess, how dare she treat His Highness like this!"
Zhao Yan shouted coldly: "Shut up!"
The guard shrank his neck and did not dare to say any more.
At this point, Zhao Yan will no longer treat Tang Miaoxin as an ordinary woman.
Every time he thought she was just like this, she would always give him another surprise.
If such a woman could become his crown princess, she would definitely be able to help him a lot in the future.
It's just that with her temperament, if she can't make her completely devoted to him, it will probably be counterproductive.
So he had to find a way to make Tang Miaoxin fall in love with him.
Zhao Yan has a noble status and can get any kind of woman he wants. This is the first time he has been so interested in a woman.
Although Tang Miaoxin said just now that she would not consider him, he felt that feelings were extremely variable.
No one knows the outcome until the end, because people's hearts are fickle.
He didn't think Tang Miaoxin would be the kind of person who puts love first. For a woman like her who grew up in power and intrigue, marrying someone was just a means.
She will definitely choose a man to marry who is most helpful to her.
So, he still has a chance.
Zhao Yan did not interfere with the affairs between the First City and Qi State because he knew that Qi State was now at an absolute disadvantage.
He only needs to think about one thing now: how to win Tang Miaoxin's heart.
When Tang Miaoxin rushed to the place where the Lengzhi machine bird crashed, Su Liancheng had already had people stop the machine bird completely.
Those who tried to snatch the machine bird were killed by Su Liancheng and Ning Guzhou together.
Tang Miaoxin soon felt that Su Liancheng was no longer as tit-for-tat with Ning Guzhou as before.
She blinked slightly and did not ask about this matter. Instead, she asked Su Liancheng: "Brother, can the Philosopher's Stone still work?"
Su Liancheng sighed softly: "The Philosopher's Stone has been completely refined and can no longer be used."
When Tang Miaoxin was in Yufang, she saw Leng Zhi turning on the machine bird. The dust was flying at the time and the speed was too fast. She did not see the philosopher's stone clearly.
At this time, there were torches burning all around. She looked at the machine bird and saw faint golden lines on the bird's body.
She asked Su Liancheng: "Brother, are these golden things the philosopher's stone?"
Su Liancheng nodded: "After the Philosopher's Stone is refined, it loses its ability to enhance the toughness of weapons."
"But we can use these things to create some high-quality weapons."
Tang Miaoxin had never quite understood what the Philosopher's Stone was. When she saw the so-called refining Philosopher's Stone, she knew it was some kind of metal.
It's just that this metal looks a little special and she has never seen it before.
She heard the disappointment in Su Liancheng's words and comforted him warmly: "No matter what, I have found the Philosopher's Stone now."
Su Liancheng nodded: "You are right. At least we have recovered the Philosopher's Stone. We will think of other solutions for the follow-up matters."
It would be a lie if he said he wasn't disappointed when he saw the machine bird.
As the Young City Lord, he knew very well what the Philosopher's Stone meant to the First City.
Tang Miaoxin smiled and said: "What the elder brother said is that in fact, the matter is not urgent, there is always a solution."
The machine bird just hit the mountain and was damaged and can no longer fly.
Su Liancheng asked the guards to find a carriage, put the machine bird on it, and then pull it back.
Tang Miaoxin and Ning Guzhou fell behind. She said softly: "Your Majesty, it's not bad!"
"I see that eldest brother's attitude towards you seems to have improved a lot."
Ning Guzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and said quietly: "After we finish dealing with the matters in the first city, we will go to Gui Qian to find your father."
This was something they had agreed upon before, and Tang Miaoxin had no objection.
She chuckled and said: "Don't be too careless here in the First City, uncle and aunt haven't nodded yet!"
Ning Guzhou took her hand and said, "It's only a matter of time before they nod."
Tang Miaoxin raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard his words and glanced at him sideways: "You are too confident!"
Ning Guzhou held her hand tighter: "It's not that I'm confident, but that I know that they love you and will respect your opinions."
Tang Miaoxin snorted and said, "They respect my opinion, but the matter has not been completely settled yet."
Ning Guzhou turned to look at her and saw that her peach blossom eyes were extremely lively, with a bit of feminine anger in them.
If he had heard her say something like this before, he would have either been anxious or angry.
Hearing this tonight, although he was a little panicked at first, when he saw her eyes, he knew that she was just teasing him deliberately.
They have gone through too many things between them. He is cold-tempered and bad-tempered, and does not understand the thoughts of his daughter's family. They had many misunderstandings before.
By now, his temperament has been tempered a lot, and he has become more and more accustomed to the rhythm of getting along with her.
He said quietly: "It's true that it hasn't been completely decided yet. There are still a few people who have signed up to recruit a son-in-law to compete with me."
"But, who are they? Are they worthy of you? Are they worthy of competing with me for you?"
He said this with great pride, showing layers of domineering.
Tang Miaoxin: "..."
She suddenly found that it was difficult for her to accept these words for a while.
She looked at him, and he looked so domineering as he stood there, exuding hormones, which made her heart skip a beat.
