Chapter 1120 Zhao Yan is coming to welcome the bride
Because Zhao Ye's dream would be shattered as soon as he saw Lu Yingxiu, and he would not be able to help the Dingbei Palace.
Not to mention that the current couple, King Dingbei and Princess Dingbei, have turned against each other.
At this time, Zhao Yan, whom they were worried about, had arrived in Rongzhou.
It can be said that he was mentally and physically exhausted during this period.
He originally thought that with his strength, he could easily pin Zhao Ye to death.
However, Zhao Ye's displayed strength was much stronger than he expected, and coupled with his father's words before his death, his identity was very embarrassing.
Nowadays, some people in Zhao's court have been saying that he is a rebellious official and a traitor.
The current war between him and Zhao Ye has turned into a tug-of-war, with each of them occupying half of the country of Zhao.
Of course, Zhao Yan was not satisfied with this situation. He was eager to kill Zhao Yan, and his return to Dingbei Palace became the most important part for him to break the tug-of-war.
When he thought that he was going to marry Lu Yingxiu, she would definitely be of great help to him with her intelligence.
Zhao Qian followed Zhao Yan as the official who welcomed the bride. He said softly: "Your Majesty, we have arrived in Rongzhou. You will be able to see Princess Lu in a few days."
After the death of the Emperor of Zhao State, Zhao Yan proclaimed himself emperor. He is now the emperor of half of Zhao State.
Zhao Yan sighed softly and took out a very finely crafted hairpin from his arms.
The hairpin looked similar to the one Tang Miaoxin wore in the First City, but it was much more delicate and luxurious.
He asked: "Do you think that when I see Yingxiu this time, will she be very happy to see me?"
Zhao Qian said with a smile: "The emperor is like a dragon and a phoenix. Since the princess agreed to marry the emperor, she was naturally very happy when she saw the emperor."
Zhao Yan was a little worried: "But when we were in the first city, she was not willing to marry me. Instead, she got very close to Qin Wang Ning Guzhou."
Zhao Qian said warmly: "Marriage has been the order of parents and the words of matchmakers since ancient times."
"Since King Dingbei agreed to marry the princess to the emperor, she will naturally have no objections."
"Besides, the emperor has true feelings for the princess, so she can naturally feel his sincerity."
"As for Ning Guzhou, I think he is just a despicable person. He messed with the princess in the first city, and then turned around and went to marry the princess who had returned to Qian."
"Since he has done such a thing, the princess will naturally sever all ties with him and live with the emperor wholeheartedly."
Zhao Yan thought about this and chuckled: "You are right."
"That Ning Guzhou is so stupid. He wanted to marry that ignorant Crown Princess instead of a good woman like Ying Xiu."
"After I marry Yingxiu, I will definitely cherish her and let her know that I am the best man in the world."
Zhao Qian said respectfully: "I would like to wish the emperor and the princess a loving husband and wife and a long life together."
Zhao Yan likes to hear this.
He asked Zhao Qian: "Are those cooks okay now?"
When he was in the first city, he discovered that "Lu Yingxiu" liked to eat and was very particular about what she ate.
So he came here this time and brought some excellent cooks from Zhao State, just so that she could eat delicious food on the way to marry him.
Zhao Qian replied: "Those cooks have been following the wedding procession, and they are all in good condition."
Zhao Yan felt relieved after hearing this. He looked in the mirror and felt that he looked good and Lu Yingxiu might like it.
Zhao Qian glanced at him and reminded him in a low voice: "I heard that the relationship between Dingbei Palace and Lord Gui Qian has been somewhat awkward recently."
He said this cryptically, but Zhao Yan immediately understood the meaning of his words.
Zhao Yan said quietly: "King Dingbei has always been ambitious, I don't think there is anything wrong with this."
"After he helps me destroy Zhao Ye, I will join forces with him to go to Yucheng and kill the leader of Guiqian Kingdom."
This was what he had thought of as the most suitable way for their alliance.
Zhao Qian said softly: "What if the Dingbei Palace asks the emperor to help them kill the leader of Gui Qian first, and then turn around to kill Zhao Ye?"
Zhao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, he thought for a moment and then said: "If Ying Xiu also means this, I will help them kill Gui Qian's Lord first."
"After all, Yingxiu has an excellent relationship with First City. When the time comes, just let Yingxiu find First City and let them hold Zhao Ye back."
The First City was very protective of "Lu Yingxiu" at the beginning, and they all saw it.
The First City is adjacent to the fiefdom where Zhao Ye is located. As long as the First City sends troops to contain Zhao Ye and they attack from the side, it will not be difficult to destroy Zhao Ye.
When Zhao Yan thought of this, he felt that marrying Lu Yingxiu was a great deal. Not only was she smart, she could also help him.
The most important thing is that he likes her very much.
This marriage made him extremely satisfied.
Although Zhao Qian felt that they would suffer a little bit by doing this, it was generally good.
After all, as long as you marry Lu Yingxiu, you can get the support of Dingbei Palace and the First City. This is essentially a good thing for them.
Zhao Yan asked: "How long will it take for us to arrive at Dingbei Palace?"
Zhao Qian replied: "It will probably take another three days."
Zhao Yan breathed out gently: "It only takes three days for me to see her again."
He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
After the matter was discussed, Zhao Yan checked the betrothal gift he had prepared with his own hands.
Many of those betrothal gifts had special commemorative significance and were his best memories after meeting "Lu Yingxiu" in the First City.
He believed that those memories would be unforgettable for her.
Tang Miaoxin heard that Zhao Yan was going to come to Dingbei Prince's Mansion in person to pick up the bride that afternoon.
Because Zhao Yan sent a fast horse to report the news to the Dingbei Palace at that time. When the Dingbei King heard the news, he immediately ordered people to clean the Dingbei Palace.
Even Tang Miaoxin and Shuxiu were assigned the job of cleaning.
Tang Miaoxin frowned when she heard the news.
At this time, Zhao Yan also went to Dingbei Prince's Mansion to pick up the bride, which made her really not know what to say.
Mo Li sighed with some emotion: "That idiot Zhao Yan actually came over to pick up the bride."
"Lu Yingxiu looks so ugly. When he sees it, he wonders if he will be frightened to death."
Shuxiu had heard them talk about Tang Miaoxin pretending to be Lu Yingxiu in the First City before. She was a little worried and said: "If he comes here in person, will he recognize His Highness?"
Tang Miaoxin replied: "Maybe I couldn't recognize him. I was afraid that something like this would happen, so I didn't wear the human skin mask this time."
Shuxiu looked at her and said, "Your way of doing things is quite recognizable, especially to people who are familiar with you."
"The fact that he can come to Dingbei Prince's Mansion in person to welcome the bride at this time is enough to show that he attaches great importance to you in his heart."
Tang Miaoxin touched her nose when she heard this. She felt that Shuxiu's words were relatively pertinent, and she really needed to avoid Zhao Yan.
