"Where did Kurihara go? Why haven't you come back yet?"

It was already getting light, but Kurihara had not yet turned around, which made Yu'er feel a little uneasy.

"Sister Yu'er, don't worry." Xiao Mi said while combing her black hair with her hands, "He must have seen someone's beautiful girl and followed her. He won't be able to come back for a while."

"Girl! What are you talking about?" Yu'er knocked on her head and said.

"How could I be lying? Doesn't my sister still know who he is?" Xiao Mi curled her lips.

What Xiaoya said naturally makes sense, and Kurihara is indeed like this.

But now that the matter of Yujue is so entangled, it doesn't make sense for Kurihara to just leave.

Could something happen to him?

At six o'clock that day, Emperor Yongping met with the Mingdan envoy Nizi in the Chongqing Hall.

"Envoy from Nizi, I wonder what important matters come to our Huanyue Kingdom this time?" Emperor Yongping said.

Unless there is tribute or urgent matters, envoys will not be sent all the way to Jingyue City.

What's more, the last visit to the Nizi envoy was not long ago.

It is strange to go to court again so soon.

"Your Majesty, your blessings are profound and your health is as good as before. This is the blessing of my Mingdan." The Nizi envoy said.

"The envoy has traveled a long way and worked hard, but he is still in good spirits and his grace has not diminished." Emperor Yongping said.

"Thank you for your kind words. This time, by the order of King Mingdan Golden Crow, I came here to ask for a rare treasure from the Holy One," said the Nizi envoy.

"Oh? I don't know what you want?" Emperor Yongping said.

"I'm afraid that the Holy One cherishes the treasure so much that he won't be considerate of the lower ones," said the Nizi envoy.

Emperor Yongping went through the treasures in the treasury in his mind, but he didn't know what he wanted.

"The good relationship between the two countries is a blessing for the people of Huanyue and Mingdan, but it will not damage the friendship between the two countries and can be discussed." Emperor Yongping said.

"My King Jinwu is unparalleled in the world, and his bravery and ingenuity are also unparalleled. Unfortunately, the queen was unlucky and passed away two years ago. Now King Jinwu is alone, and he is willing to forever be friends with the Huanyue Kingdom in the Qin and Jin Dynasties." Nizi

The messenger said.

As soon as this statement came out, discussions immediately broke out among the civil and military officials.

Emperor Yongping's expression also changed.

Nowadays, there is some signs of calming down in the troubled times, and the war has been hard and fruitless. It is really not possible to start another dispute, but it is really difficult to give up one's own flesh and blood and weak daughter to get married.

"I wonder who King Jinwu wants?" Emperor Yongping said.

"A few months ago, I saw the beauties of several princesses in the imperial garden. I was astonished. Especially the second princess's figure and grace. She is very suitable for me, King Jinwu. I wonder if your Majesty can part with me?"

Emperor Yongping frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty," Shangshu ordered Zhou Yuncheng to go forward and say, "The second princess has been granted a marriage, and she is a married woman. She cannot grant it to anyone else."

"Yes." Emperor Yongping nodded and said, "Messenger Nizi, what a pity, the two daughters have already been married to someone else."

"May I ask, Your Majesty, have you ever performed a wedding ceremony?" asked the Nizi envoy.

"This is not possible yet," Emperor Yongping said.

"Since we are not married yet, according to the customs of our Mingdan country, we can marry freely without any restrictions." The Nizi envoy said.

"Your Majesty, our Huanyue Kingdom has always prohibited a woman from marrying twice. I hope Your Majesty will think twice." Prime Minister Zhou Ting also stepped forward.

"Exactly, Envoy Nizi, I hope you can understand." Emperor Yongping said.

"Ever since he heard about the immortal beauty of the second princess, King Jinwu has been unforgettable day and night, and his feelings are pitiful. Now that the Holy Lord is so evasive, is he abandoning Ming Dan and ignoring it?" The Nizi envoy said with a stern expression.

Ming Dan has always been submissive since he surrendered.

Today, the messenger is a little arrogant.

Emperor Yongping thought to himself that something had changed during this period.

"Please consider it, King Ronggu. The envoy has come a long way and has a hard time. Please come to the post house and have a good rest." Emperor Yongping said.

"That's fine. I hope the Holy One can give Ming Dan a satisfactory answer," said the Nizi envoy.

The news soon spread to the harem.

Others were fine. After Concubine Ye heard this letter, she immediately came to the side hall to see Emperor Yongping.

"Are you coming?" Emperor Yongping naturally knew that she would definitely come.

"What does the emperor plan to do?" Concubine Ye stared at Emperor Yongping closely and asked.

"The lonely king will consider it carefully." Emperor Yongping said.

"What do you think about it?" Concubine Ye asked closely.

"Allow me to discuss with the ministers again," Emperor Yongping said.

"Does your Majesty just want to deal with me like this?" Concubine Ye raised her voice.

"Fei Ye," Emperor Yongping said, "I know how you feel. However, this matter is of great importance, so you must give me some time to think about it."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Ye knelt down and looked up at Emperor Yongping and said, "No matter what, Ning Yang must not be allowed to go! Please promise me!"

"Fei Ye, you get up first." Emperor Yongping said helplessly.

"Has your Majesty promised me?" Concubine Ye looked at him closely and asked.

"Ningyang is also my daughter. Of course I don't want her to marry a foreigner and leave her hometown." Emperor Yongping said, "But how can we do this without hurting Huanyue and preserving Ningyang? The lonely king is indeed

It takes time, so don’t be impatient.”

Concubine Ye was still looking at him.

Emperor Yongping helped her up and patted the back of her hand: "You should go back first. The lonely king still needs to discuss this matter with the ministers."

"Okay, I hope the emperor can take good care of my mother and daughter." Concubine Ye said, and bowed deeply to Emperor Yongping.

After that, the ministers came up with some excellent ideas to get Ming Dan to give up his intention of getting married.

"Messenger Nizi, there are many rare treasures in our Huanyue Kingdom treasure house. You can choose a few of your favorites and bring back the Ming Dan to King Jinwu to show the friendship between the two countries." Emperor Yongping said.

"Nizi is deeply touched by His Majesty's good intentions. However, I, Mingdan, do not covet rare treasures. I only wish that my king will be safe and happy." Nizi's envoy said.

"How about giving another three thousand taels of gold as a gift?" Emperor Yongping asked again.

"Precious gold and silver are just external possessions. If I can marry the princess of your country and have descendants, it will be my Mingdan's blessing." The Nizi envoy spoke sincerely and with affection.

Emperor Yongping looked at the ministers in court.

Prime Minister Zhou Ting stepped forward and said: "Since the two princesses have already been engaged, why not choose a daughter with both virtue and talent among the ministers' daughters, and marry Ming Dan forever in the Qin and Jin Dynasties. Then select a team of singers and dancers, and then

To Ming Dan, to help this great joy."

"Your Majesty, am I, King Jinwu, worthy only of marrying the daughter of a minister?" the Nizi envoy said with an angry look on his face.

"Your Majesty, we in Huanyue have a good harvest every year, and we all rely on the providence of farming. It is better to select farming talents to Mingdan and grant them farming skills, so that both countries can share the prosperity." Zuo Yun, the Minister of Rites, came forward and said.

"Very good," Emperor Yongping nodded with satisfaction, "What does the Nizi envoy think?"

"Mingdan has flocks of cattle and sheep, and does not rely on farming. It only has some thin land in the land adjacent to your country. Nizi understands the good intention of the Holy One."

The Nizi envoy made sense, but this good idea was immediately sentenced to death.

All the ministers were talking and making plans, but the Nizi envoy refused to let go and decided to ask the second princess Ningyang to be his queen.

Jingye Palace.

"Mom, what should I do? My father will not really marry me to that Ming Dan, right?" Ning Yang grabbed Concubine Ye and said.

Concubine Ye looked at her carefully and said slowly: "The Ming Dan envoy said he had seen you."

"Have you seen me?" Ning Yang asked curiously, "No."

"He said it in a meaningful way. How could he not? Think about it carefully." Concubine Ye said.

Ning Yang walked back and forth in the hall several times and finally remembered.

"Ah! Yes, yes, I think I met him once." Ning Yang said, "It was in the Imperial Garden. My eldest brother took him on a tour, and he happened to meet Ning Jia and Ning Bo."

"As expected." Concubine Ye nodded.

Looking at Ning Yang, he asked again: "What was the situation at that time?"

"It's nothing special." Ning Yang shook his head.

"It's nothing special. Why don't I want all the gold and silver treasures and only ask you to be my queen? Think about it!" Concubine Ye said sharply.

Ning Yang sat at the table, resting his head on his hands, frowning and thinking carefully.

"It's really nothing special. It's just that everyone greets each other and says hello." Ning Yang said, "The eldest brother will still only protect the third sister."

Concubine Ye stared at Ning Yang's face again and said, "This is strange."

His eyes inadvertently fell on Ning Yang's exposed jade wrist. A string of bright purple jade bracelets made her skin look like jade.

Concubine Ye suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly: "Is this the purple jade bracelet that Ming Dan paid tribute to?"
