Not long after, Princess Natasha was invited over.
Before Princess Natasha arrived, Li Min really had no impression of her.
Of these fifteen kingdoms' princesses, Li Min only had two or three that he remembered.
After seeing Princess Natasha, Li Min couldn't help but look her over.
I saw Princess Natasha with a very fair complexion and a pair of green eyes.
Now Li Min is in adolescence, and his stature has not yet fully grown.
Li Min felt that Princess Natasha was probably half a head taller than him.
The figure is also extremely plump.
After walking in, Princess Natasha felt a little guilty.
He greeted Li Min and said, "Natasha has met His Highness."
Li Min nodded and said to Natasha: "Princess Natasha, please sit down and talk."
After Natasha sat down, Li Min asked expressionlessly: "Princess Natasha, I heard that you have often gone to see my bodyguard Li Yuanfang in the past two days?"
After hearing Li Min's words, Natasha couldn't help but turn pale.
Taking a deep breath, Natasha stood up, looked directly at Li Min and asked, "Your Highness, I wonder how long we fifteen sisters will have to wait?"
Um?
This exotic chick is quite fierce.
Under such circumstances, you actually dare to blame yourself?
Li Min continued to say expressionlessly: "You answer my question first."
Natasha took a deep breath and said bravely: "Your Highness, I like Guard Li, but this has nothing to do with Guard Li. He has been avoiding me."
"Also, this matter has nothing to do with my country. If His Highness wants to punish me, just punish me alone!"
Well, I dare to act, dare to love, and dare to hate.
Just when Natasha was feeling uneasy, Li Min smiled slightly and said to her: "I will call Li Yuanfang here later. No matter what I say, don't speak. Let's see if he has any friendship for you."
.”
Natasha looked at Li Min stupidly, unable to react for a moment.
After a long while, a thoughtful look appeared on his face. He couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise and looked at Li Min in disbelief.
I couldn't help but stammered and asked: "Your Highness, you, what do you mean-"
Li Min waved his hand and said: "There is some misunderstanding in this matter. By some mistake, all the princesses from the fifteen countries were sent to me."
"This is not only irresponsible to me, but also irresponsible to you. Now I really don't know how to give you an explanation."
"It's great if you have someone you like. I hope all fourteen of them can find someone they like."
"Of course, love is a matter between two people. It's just your unilateral wish. Later, I will ask Li Yuanfang for you to see what his intentions are."
"Later, in order to avoid exposing the truth, no matter what I say, you must keep silent. Remember?"
After listening to Li Min's words, Princess Natasha was greatly moved and couldn't help but bow to Li Min Yingying: "Natasha, thank you, Your Highness, for your support."
Li Min smiled slightly and motioned for Natasha to stand aside.
Not long after, Li Yuanfang was also invited over.
When Li Yuanfang saw that Princess Natasha was there, a bad feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
"My subordinate, Li Yuanfang, has met His Highness. I wonder what your Highness has ordered when he summoned me?"
Li Min said to Li Yuanfang expressionlessly: "Yuanfang, this Princess Natasha is not a woman. I am determined to put her to death. I will leave this matter to you. Take her down!"
"
After hearing Li Min's instructions, Li Yuanfang couldn't help being shocked.
Princess Natasha, as for Princess Natasha, had already received instructions from Li Min and knew that King Shu was deliberately testing Li Yuanfang.
Therefore, Princess Natasha couldn't help but look at Li Yuanfang nervously.
At this time, Li Yuanfang was in a state of chaos. How could he still have his usual decisiveness?
"Your Highness, Princess Natasha has been teaching at Yizhou Women's College. How could she do such a thing? Is there any misunderstanding here?"
Li Min said expressionlessly: "But I have received reports that she often comes out to find men. Doesn't this count as unruly women?"
Li Yuanfang took a deep breath and said: "Your Highness, Princess Natasha is the princess of a country. If Princess Natasha is executed rashly, it may cause discord between the two countries. I hope Your Highness will think twice before taking action."
Li Min sneered and said: "Don't worry, they won't fall out because of such a trivial matter! Just carry out my orders!"
Seeing that the King of Shu was determined to execute Princess Natasha, Li Yuanfang couldn't help but become confused.
After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, the man Princess Natasha is looking for is actually a subordinate."
"But I dare to swear to God that I have never seen Princess Natasha. Princess Natasha was wrongly accused of this matter. Your Highness, please look into it."
Princess Natasha was deeply moved when she heard that Li Yuanfang was pleading for her.
At this time, Li Min stared into Li Yuanfang's eyes and said coldly: "Why is Princess Natasha looking for you?"
"This this--"
Li Yuanfang didn't know how to answer the next words.
Yes, why is Princess Natasha looking for him?
Can he say that Princess Natasha is attracted to him?
If you really want to say that, although nothing happened between the two of them.
But Princess Natasha actually fell in love with another man. Isn't this betrayal to His Highness?
Thinking of this, Li Yuanfang could not help but feel speechless.
Seeing Li Yuanfang's troubled look, Li Min couldn't help laughing.
There is actually no point in bullying this honest man.
Li Min couldn't help but stood up, patted Li Yuanfang on the shoulder and said: "Yuanfang, Princess Natasha likes you, and you, it seems that you have a crush on Princess Natasha! Let's do this, I'll make the decision to transfer Princess Natasha to
What do you think about betrothing me to you?"
Hearing Li Min's words, Li Yuanfang couldn't help being frightened.
I couldn't help but knelt down on the ground and said decisively: "Your Highness, Natasha is the princess of Guizi Kingdom, and she was sent to marry her."
"This matter is all my subordinate's fault. Please kill me, Your Highness! Never mention this matter again."
Li Min went to pull Li Yuanfang, but he couldn't pull her up.
Li Min couldn't help but patted his shoulder angrily and said, "Yuanfang, what I said is true!"
"You know best why the princesses of the fifteen countries were sent to Yizhou."
"If I were really prepared to accept them all, I would have gotten married long ago. Will I wait until now?"
"And year after year, they waste time, which is extremely unfair to them."
"As for the original purpose of He Qin, it was nothing more than peace between the two countries. This purpose has now been achieved."
"As for the marriage, it is no longer important. Princess Natasha likes you and you are also interested in her. This is a match made in heaven. Why do you have any hesitation?"
After hearing what the King of Shu said, Li Yuanfang actually believed it.
Because at that time, Li Yuanfang personally experienced the matter of the fifteen countries coming to propose marriage.
At that time, these fifteen countries did not want to send their princesses.
Instead, he came to the Tang Dynasty and asked to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
But in the process of courting, after various competitions, the King of Shu tricked them all around.
In the end, it became a matter of the fifteen countries sending their princesses over for marriage.
Moreover, the original marriage partners were the prince and several other princes.
But in the end, no one knew who was behind it, and all of them were sent to Yizhou.
They all asked for marriage with the King of Shu.
At that time, people had already been sent, and the King of Shu had no room for evasion.
Now several years have passed, and the King of Shu has never mentioned the matter of getting married, and it seems that he is not ready to get married at all.
However, even though Li Yuanfang believed that everything the King of Shu said was not to favor him, but was speaking the truth.
But Li Yuanfang still refused to marry Princess Natasha.
Although these princesses can marry anyone, they cannot marry themselves!
Therefore, Li Yuanfang firmly opposed it.
"Your Highness, this matter is absolutely impossible! I will never agree to it! I don't have the slightest objection to Princess Natasha!"
Hearing Li Yuanfang's words, Princess Natasha couldn't help crying.
Feeling sad, he couldn't help but walk to Li Yuanfang.
'choke'!
He directly pulled out the long sword from Li Yuanfang's waist and wiped it towards his neck.
Li Yuanfang couldn't help being shocked.
Fortunately, Li Yuanfang is very powerful in martial arts, has extraordinary skills, and has very quick reactions.
He caught Princess Natasha's hand in time and successfully stopped her from doing stupid things.
Natasha said with tears streaming down her face: "Let me go and let me die!"
As she spoke, Princess Natasha struggled fiercely.
Although Li Yuanfang was very strong, after all, Natasha was a princess, so he couldn't get too close to her.
At the same time, he was afraid of hurting the princess, so he didn't dare to use too much force.
Princess Natasha was determined to die. Although her arm was grabbed by Li Yuanfang, she stretched out her neck and leaned forward.
Li Yuanfang was so shocked that she couldn't care less and hugged Princess Natasha tightly.
"Why are you so stupid?"
Princess Natasha sneered and said: "If I can't marry you, I would rather die. You can save me now, how can you still be by my side and look at me every day?"
"you you--"
Li Yuanfang was angry and anxious.
After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to die, why don't I agree to marry you?"
"Really? You didn't lie to me?"
"Really! I'm not lying to you!"
"Wow! That's great!"
Princess Natasha hugged Li Yuanfang's neck and jumped up excitedly.
Li Yuanfang also laughed.
Huo, what a couple!
Li Min couldn't stand it anymore and left with a dark face.
What's even more outrageous is that neither of the two people at the scene noticed this.
After they came to their senses, they realized that His Highness had actually left.
…
Li Min went to Li Shimin for instructions, and at the same time told Guiziguo about the news.
This is a necessary procedure.
Only when both parties agree can they officially get married.
After all, Natasha is the princess of Guizi Kingdom, and she was not sent here to marry a prince's bodyguard.
If either party refuses to agree, the marriage will not take place.
At least not in a legitimate way.
However, Li Min guessed that there was a 90% chance that they would agree.
Because Li Shimin didn't care about anything at all.
He had done so many things for Datang over the years, so it was naturally impossible for Li Shimin to object to such a small thing.
However, a little surprise happened here.
And this accident was unknown to Li Min.
This little accident was caused by Concubine Cui and Concubine Lu.
These two concubines came from the Cui family and the Lu family respectively.
They were young, beautiful, and elegant, so they naturally attracted Li Shimin's favor.
But when you see new people smiling, you hear old people cry.
Li Shimin wished he could stay with these two concubines for thirty-one days in a month.
Li Shimin usually didn't keep it a secret from them about certain things.
Of course, Li Shimin would not tell them anything very confidential.
And recently, Concubine Cui and Concubine Lu are also ready to make a move.
Because the purpose of the two of them entering the palace was to give eye drops to the King of Shu.
The other one is to protect their Cui family and Lu family.
If the two of them can give birth to a prince respectively, then the status of the Cui family and the Lu family will be even stronger.
In fact, both the Cui family and the Lu family were already regretting it at this time.
In fact, they should have sent their legitimate daughter into the palace long ago.
If she had been sent in early, she would have given birth to a prince.
Then with the push behind them, there is even a chance to get involved in the throne.
And once their nephew can sit on the throne, won't their status become more stable?
Unlike now, these two noble concubines, even if they gave birth to a prince, would not be able to take the throne because of their age.
There is no fight at all.
Of course, these two concubines are not so stupid.
They are all from big families, and those who can be sent to the palace are carefully selected.
These two concubines knew in their hearts that they came from a family with five surnames and seven views.
The emperor only treats them as playthings, and there is absolutely no way he can truly trust them.
Therefore, although they shouldered the mission of overthrowing the King of Shu, they did not speak ill of the King of Shu behind his back every day.
Because they know very well that if they really do this, the result will be counterproductive.
But this time, when they heard that the King of Shu actually asked for permission to betroth Princess Natasha of Guizi Kingdom to one of his bodyguards, Li Yuanfang, they immediately felt that this time it was a good one.
Chance.
So, on this day, Concubine Lu started first.
"Your Majesty, the King of Shu is really considerate of his subordinates! The princess of a country actually gave it to his subordinates without blinking an eye!"
Li Shimin laughed and said: "Of course, how can anyone who can achieve great things be addicted to women?"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Concubine Lu could not help but feel dissatisfied and lightly beat Li Shimin's chest twice.
Then he said coquettishly: "What the Emperor means is that these people are not good people!"
None of the other concubines acted coquettishly in front of him.
Even if there is, I don’t know how many years ago it happened.
Take his favorite Concubine Yang as an example. She is already quite old, so how can she act coquettishly in front of him?
It's unnatural, and old men still do this.
As soon as Concubine Lu acted coquettishly, Li Shimin's heart immediately softened.
He smiled and said: "Fei Lu, you are too worried. Why am I talking about you? It's too late for me to feel sorry for you!"
"Hmph! That's pretty much it!"
"The King of Shu is just like Liu Bei from the Three Kingdoms. Women are like clothes, and brothers are like brothers! When clothes are torn, they can be replaced, but broken limbs are irreparable. In the end, didn't Liu Bei rely on his brothers to achieve the throne of emperor? You
Say yes, Your Majesty?"
"Huh? What a coincidence. Liu Bei achieved his hegemony in Shu! Isn't the King of Shu also in Shu now, and his title is still King of Shu! This Shu is a land of abundance, with thousands of miles of fertile fields, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's really a good place.
What a place!”
After hearing Concubine Lu's words, Li Shimin did not speak, but his face showed a thoughtful look.
When Concubine Lu saw the expression on Li Shimin's face, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of cunning secretly.
The next day, she was replaced by Concubine Cui.
Concubine Cui couldn't help but said to Li Shimin: "Huh? Your Majesty, the King of Shu is obviously a passionate person, how can he be willing to give the princess to his subordinates?"
Li Shimin laughed and said: "How can the King of Shu be a passionate person? If he were, he would have married the princesses of these fifteen countries and brought them home long ago!"
Concubine Cui smiled and said: "But, Wu Meiniang of the Wu family, and that Xu Hui, weren't they all taken into the palace by him? People also heard that when Sister Shiniang was in college in Yizhou, she had an affair with the King of Shu
What about the irreversible relationship?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression suddenly changed.
"You're talking about Cui Shiniang who was kidnapped?"
Concubine Cui nodded and said, "Exactly!"
Li Shimin asked calmly: "Cui Shiniang, why did you go to Yizhou to go to school? Why didn't I know about this? Furthermore, even if Cui Shiniang went to Yizhou to go to school, she could only go to a women's college, so how could it be possible?
Are you on good terms with the King of Shu?"
Concubine Cui could not help but whisper: "Your Majesty does not know that when Sister Shiniang went to Yizhou to study, the women's college in Yizhou had not yet been established! At that time, Sister Shiniang went there disguised as a man in order to enroll."
"I heard that Sister Shiniang has very good academic performance. The King of Shu admires her very much and treats her as a disciple and personally teaches her for a period of time!"
After listening to Concubine Cui's words, Li Shimin's face suddenly turned ugly.
Cui Shiniang actually went to Yizhou to study and had a very close relationship with the King of Shu.
And just some time ago, Cui Shiniang was kidnapped when she was sent to the palace.
And they were kidnapped with great fanfare, without leaving any trace.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, if there was really someone who could do this, then there is no doubt that this person must be the King of Shu.
Because the King of Shu has done many more magical things than this.
Was this really done by the King of Shu?
Li Shimin thought for a long time, and then asked nonchalantly: "Since Cui Shiniang has such a good relationship with the King of Shu, why didn't your Cui family think of giving Cui Shiniang to the King of Shu as a concubine?"
"this……"
This question is really not easy to answer.
You know that Cui Shiniang has such a good relationship with the King of Shu, but instead of helping them, you sent her to the palace. What are your intentions?
Then, Li Shimin asked: "Concubine Cui, what are your intentions in telling me this matter?"
These words are truly heartbreaking.
For a moment, Concubine Cui felt like she was breaking out in a cold sweat.
However, those who can be selected by the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes and sent to the palace are all thousand-year-old foxes.
Although Concubine Cui was shocked in her heart, her face didn't show it at all.
Instead, she asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, isn't this just a casual chat? What are your intentions?"
Li Shimin stared at Concubine Cui for a long time, just when she was almost suffocating and losing all strength.
Li Shimin snorted coldly, waved his hand, turned around and walked out.
After leaving Concubine Cui's place, Li Shimin went directly to Concubine Yang.
In the palace, after Li Shimin left, Concubine Cui couldn't help but collapse on the bed.
Before I knew it, my clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
As expected, being with you is like being with a tiger!
At the same time, Concubine Cui only realized the truth belatedly.
It turns out that the emperor is the old fox!
It's ridiculous that they think they are smart. I guess their little cleverness has already been seen through by the emperor, right?
However, the news she revealed tonight was not false at all.
If the emperor sends people to investigate, they will definitely find out that this is the truth.
When the time comes, I believe it will definitely put a thorn in the emperor's heart, right?
With this thorn, some things are enough.
The next day, Li Shimin responded directly to Li Min.
As long as Guiziguo agrees, there is no problem on his side.
This will be the case for the princesses of the other fourteen countries in the future. They no longer need to specifically ask him for instructions, they only need their country's consent.
After more than ten days, Guiziguo's reply also came.
Although I sounded a little unhappy.
Well, their majestic princess actually married a guard in the Tang Dynasty. No one else would be happy.
If it had been Li Min, he probably could have led his troops to attack right away.
However, although Guiziguo was unhappy, it was obvious that he had no intention of falling out with Datang.
Finally, they agreed to this matter.
Since both parties have agreed, there is no obstacle.
Li Min decided to arrange the marriage for them early next month.
They also decided that their wedding should be grand and grand.
It's less than a month before the wedding, and the time is still very tight.
Li Min immediately ordered people to start preparing all the supplies for the wedding.
This incident was well known throughout Yizhou, no, the entire Jiannan Road that quickly spread.
And where are Yizhou and Jiannan Road?
That is the only 5A-level scenic spot in the entire Tang Dynasty!
When everyone mentions tourism, no need to ask, the first thing that comes to mind is Yizhou.
The second one is probably Jiannan Road.
There is so much traffic here!
Therefore, people in Yizhou and Jiannan Province know about this matter, which is almost equivalent to everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty knowing about it.
Li Min also took this opportunity to announce a news to the other fourteen princesses and others.
That is, he was not prepared to accept these fifteen princesses.
But it gives them a lot of freedom, they can get married!
