Li Mu, who had changed his clothes again, received a handwritten letter from Tieniu in the front yard, which was sent by Yinchai's maidservant to the backyard.

Chapter 158 Princess Wencheng

"Brother Mu Xueyan has left and is going to a distant place. I heard that it is very close to the sky. It is the closest to the gods in the sky. Xueyan will pray for Tang and the father there. Of course, I will also pray for Brother Mu."

Little tears, soaked rice paper.

"It's just a pity that I will never see Chang'an City again, and I will never be able to celebrate the Lantern Festival in Chang'an City anymore, and I will never be able to see the gorgeous fireworks in Shoushanbo Mansion again."

With the faint fragrance of daughters, wisps of sorrow vividly appear on the paper.

"I don't know if I can go back to Datang again, take a look at the scenery of Chang'an City, enjoy the gorgeous fireworks, maybe this will be Xueyan's extravagant wish."

...

Signed, Xueyan.

After Li Mu read the content and Xueyan's signature, he suddenly realized that something must have happened to Li Xueyan at the Shangyuan Festival banquet, and then he ran out of the palace halfway for no reason.

Holding Li Xueyan's handwriting, Li Mu turned around and came to the hall in the front yard, and asked Tieniu for questioning.

"My lord." Tie Niu walked into the hall with a puzzled look on his face.

"Tie Niu go and see what happened to Jiangxia King Li Daozong's house." Li Mu ordered when he saw Tieniu walking in.

"My lord is asking about the Jiangxia Palace?" Hearing that Li Mu asked him to check the situation in the Jiangxia Palace, Tieniu felt relieved and reported.

"What the Lord Sir wants to ask is that at the request of Lu Dongzan, the envoy of Zanpu of the Tubo Kingdom, Tang Dynasty finally agreed to marry a princess to Tubo at last night's court banquet during the Yuan Festival. The Great Tang and Tubo will forever be friends with Weng and his son-in-law."

...

"This princess is Li Xueyan, the daughter of King Jiangxia, who was specially named Princess Wencheng." Li Mu interrupted Tieniu, and said the following.

At this time, Li Mu's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Yes sir, today should be the day when Princess Wencheng departs from Chang'an. When Tieniu went out this morning, he saw the Ministry of Rites and Jiangxia Palace were preparing. He said that it was the Yuan Festival banquet last night. Lu Dongzan Once again, I request His Majesty to advance the date of welcoming the relatives, so today is the day for the Ministry of Rites to send the relatives off."

Tieniu thought that Li Mu also attended the Shangyuan Festival banquet, so he reminded: "Your Majesty should know."

"Yeah, I should know." Li Mu said so, but he knew in his heart that he withdrew halfway from the court banquet yesterday, so things should have happened in the second half.

But why did Li Xueyan go out of the palace with him?

It seems that Li Xueyan should have gotten wind of it a long time ago. Li Mu remembered that Tubo's courtship to Tang Dynasty was not a successful one in history.

It seems to have begged several times, and the last time Tubo used its military power. Although the Tang Dynasty won in the end, it also met Tubo's request.

That is to marry a princess to Tubo.

Because Li Er's own daughter hadn't grown up at that time, he chose a [-]-year-old daughter of the clan from the clan, canonized as Princess Wencheng, and married Tubo far away.

Li Mu knew that with Li Er's pissing nature, even if his daughter could marry someone, he would not let his daughter marry to Tubo.

After all, even the emperor is selfish.

It's just that Li Mu didn't expect that it would be the Li Xueyan he knew, or Li Daozong's first daughter, remembering that there is no clear record in history who is Princess Wencheng's father.

It is only recorded that the envoy who sent off his relatives was Li Daozong.

Thinking of this, Li Mu looked at the handwriting written by Li Xueyan in his hand, hesitantly wondering whether to change history.

While hesitating, Meier and the four daughters heard something happened in the front yard. After recovering a bit, they came to the front yard and heard Tieniu talking about Li Xueyan's marriage to Tubo.

In a hurry, Ju'er, who came to play with Li Xueyan the most, said: "Master, Xueyan is going to marry Tubo far away? Can you not go?"

"Ju'er!" Meier scolded Ju'er when she saw Ju'er talking too much.

"Mei'er, stop scolding Ju'er." Li Mu defended after recovering.

Seeing that it was the first time for Meier and the four daughters to walk, it was not convenient for them to walk, Li Mu took a step forward and asked them to sit down and explained.

"I can't decide this matter. It's a matter for the court, and it's a matter for the royal family. Even Jiangxia King Li Daozong didn't say anything. It's not suitable for me to intervene."

"Oh." Seeing this, Ju'er pouted a little sadly.

"Ju'er, this is an important matter for the court, not a joke, how can you have your temper." Lan'er comforted Ju'er from the side.

At this time, Zhu'er, who has always been quiet and reticent, said: "Master, I heard that Tubo is far away, and life there is very hard. Even food is very scarce, and those Tubo people don't take a bath all year round. There must be a strong stench."

"Well, it shouldn't be. Xueyan married their Zanpu, not an ordinary person. Presumably, she wouldn't suffer." Li Mu explained, although even he didn't believe this explanation.

As evidenced by history, after Princess Wencheng married Tubo, she was not Songtsan Gampo's official wife but a concubine, not to mention receiving any attention.

Because Tubo and Datang are on an equal footing, there is no need for Tubo to attach importance to a daughter of the Tang clan.

What Tubo pays attention to is the dowry of the Tang Dynasty, tens of thousands of various craftsmen.

This is why Tubo doesn't care about Li Er choosing a clan girl. What Tubo cares about is not the princess, but the advanced technology obtained from Datang through this marriage.

"Then why did the snow geese marry to Tubo?" Ju'er was full of puzzlement and doubts.

This question was well asked, so Li Mu didn't know how to answer it, so he could only say: "It should be for the purpose of establishing friendly relations between Tang and Tubo and maintaining peace."

Picking Ju'er's chin with her finger, looking at Ju'er who was still puzzled, she said: "Because Tubo and Tang Dynasty have been fighting for years, the court needs Xueyan to marry to ease the relationship."

Ju'er, whose chin was raised, looked at Li Mu and asked sincerely: "Then, can't Master Datang's army protect Datang? Do you need snow geese to protect Datang?"

Hearing Ju'er's question, Li Mu was obviously taken aback.

Tieniu, who was still in the hall, heard Ju'er's words, immediately knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness is guilty."

Tie Niu said he was guilty, not that he was guilty, but because he used to be a member of the Tang Dynasty army. After hearing Ju'er's words that he wanted Xue Yan to protect Datang, he felt ashamed as a former Datang soldier.

Yes, when did Tang Heping rely on a woman to protect him?

"Ju'er, shut up, this is our women's life and our glory." Mei Er, who knew what Ju'er said was wrong, looked at her severely.

In an instant, Ju'er shrank her neck in fright.

Not caring about Meier scolding Juer, Li Mu was in a daze, and sat back in his seat in a daze, looking at the sky outside the hall.

Yes, it seems that this country in the Central Plains often needs women to protect it. I don't know when it started.

At this time, Li Mu's cheeks suddenly felt warm, that special icy warmth, and he knew that this feeling was what Li Xueyan felt when he kissed him.

The appearance of Li Xueyan when she ran out of the palace alone appeared in front of her eyes. At that time, she should be very helpless, but she was so happy under the fireworks.

Under the brilliant fireworks, Li Xueyan was so bright in the dark night.
