Seeing Chunyu's face, Yue Rong whispered again: "You don't know, several adults asked the two Pei family members on the spot after learning that the princess only took a third of it as a dowry. The prince’s marriage.”

Chunyu's eyes revealed cold words: "They are just a group of people who are greedy for power and money."

The ministers in the court have never liked Gu Ning. When Gu Ning was the princess, they kept impeaching her. Now that Gu Ning has become the queen, they want to impeach her too!

But they were extremely cautious with other people in the Pei family.

This group of cowardly people only thought that Gu Ning was easy to control, so they targeted Gu Ning alone!

Thinking of this, Chunyu's face became colder.

Yue Rong caught a glimpse of Chunyu's face, swallowed, and cautiously advised: "Don't be angry, His Highness has already scolded you back."

"Also, our General Pei has always been invincible in the court. Even the censors can't scold him."

Hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Chunyu's face.

Yue Rong looked at the smile on her face and finally felt relieved.

At this time, Chunyu suddenly raised her head and looked at Yue Rong. Yue Rong's face immediately turned red, from his cheeks to his neck, everything was red and bleeding.

When Chunyu saw this, she snorted and looked away, but Yue Rong's sharp eyes saw the red color of her ears the moment she turned around.

For a moment, Yue Rong's heart felt as sweet as honey.

Meanwhile, outside the palace.

Chu Shiling was walking around. Ever since Gu Ning entered the palace, her heart had become empty. She couldn't even look at the jewelry shop she had always loved with much interest.

At this moment, she bumped into a man wherever she looked.

When Chu Shiling saw Lu Yu, her first reaction was to run away!

She thought so in her heart, so she naturally did so.

Chu Shiling's movements were fast, and her steps were even faster.

However, just when she was about to escape successfully, someone grabbed her waist from behind.

Immediately afterwards, she was picked up by Lu Yu.

The place where Chu Shiling wanted to escape was an alley.

Therefore, when Lu Yu picked her up horizontally, no one noticed the movement.

Chu Shiling puffed up her cheeks and stared at Lu Yu angrily: "What are you doing! If you come one step closer! I'm going to call someone!"

"Let me tell you! My sister is now the queen of a country! If she knows that you bully me, she will definitely send someone to arrest you!"

Listening to these words, the smile in Lu Yu's eyes became more obvious.

He pressed Chu Shiling against the wall, with a playful smile in his eyes that were quite similar to Chu Shiling's.

"How did I bully you?"

"You were obviously drunk that day, but you wanted to drag me to your house."

Hearing this, Chu Shiling's face suddenly turned red.

On the day of Gu Ning's wedding, she was both happy and sad. She drank a lot of wine due to her mood swings. Who knew that after a night of hangover, she would find Lu Yu in her bed!

At that time, she was so frightened that she quickly sent Lu Yu away.

Who knew that Lu Yu would still remember what happened that day? His die-hard loyalist is still there!

Thinking of this, Chu Shiling stared at Lu Yu angrily and said, "You took advantage that day! What do you want? Do you still want to say that I molested you?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu showed an embarrassed look on her face: "Princess, to be honest, before I met you, I was always a boy and I have never done anything to a woman."

"What's more... you used a knife to coerce me that day." When Lu Yu spoke, he felt extremely aggrieved.

Chu Shiling's eyes widened. She never expected that Lu Yu could say such shameless words!

In fact, in the final analysis, she, as a woman, is the one who suffers!

Thinking of this, Chu Shiling became extremely angry.

She pushed Lu Yu hard: "I am obviously the one who suffered the loss! Where did you suffer the loss?"

"Yes." Lu Yu did not follow common sense. After hearing Chu Shiling's words, he responded.

Chu Shiling's eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief.

And he looked serious: "Since I have taken advantage of you, Princess, I should naturally take the responsibility! I came to see Princess today because I will come to propose marriage tomorrow."

"What kind of betrothal gift does the princess like?" Lu Yu asked seriously, "As long as the princess likes it, I will try my best to get it for you."

Hearing this, Chu Shiling was extremely shocked and stepped back.

However, there was a hard wall behind her, and there was no way to retreat for a while.

Chu Shiling's mouth moved a few times and she murmured: "You are shameless!"

Lu Yu wanted to say something more, but Chu Shiling slapped him in the face: "Wait for me!"

There was only one thought left in Chu Shiling's mind - she wanted Gu Ning's support!

……

Huns.

After a great battle, the Xiongnu royal city was riddled with holes.

It was simply that when he finally caught Yu Wenxu, he used a clever trick and there was not much damage.

A steady stream of supplies was transported to the royal court. After looking at the supplies on the ground, Yuwen Tuo had a complicated expression on his face.

These materials were all exchanged from the market.

As Gu Ning said at the beginning, the establishment of the market has indeed brought great convenience to the Huns.

The originally rough city of the Huns gradually took shape and took on a serious appearance thanks to the construction of these bricks and tiles from Chu.

Just by taking a closer look, you can find that these buildings, which were originally unique to the Xiongnu, have unconsciously adopted the style of Chu.

Yuwen Tuo closed his eyes and sighed deeply in his heart.

The influence of Chu State is everywhere. Even if he doesn't want to see it, he has to admit that the things Chu State provides are very convenient.

They didn't have to work hard to transport the bricks and stones of the royal city here from the Moon Sea, and they didn't have to work hard to break them apart just to form them into similar sizes.

Not to mention that because the stones are of different sizes, the walls of the royal city are of different heights and shapes.

Yuwen Tuo suppressed these thoughts in his heart and smiled at Hu Yanliang, who was looking at him worriedly.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm fine."

Hu Yanliang sighed: "I know what you are thinking, Khan."

"But the things from Chu are good, so we can't use them." Hu Yanliang comforted him, "We Huns and Chu people have different roots. Even if we use the same things as them, we won't become Chu people."

After hearing this, Yuwen Tuo smiled bitterly: "Uncle, do you believe this?"

Hu Yanliang rubbed his eyebrows: "Even if you don't believe it, we still have to say this to the outside world!"

"The people are ignorant, we just need to turn a blind eye, and they will naturally not realize that they are being assimilated by the Chu Kingdom!"

"What we want is to fundamentally disidentify from Chu!" Hu Yanliang said word by word, "As long as the people do not recognize themselves as Chu people, then Chu's ambitions will never be realized!"

"On the contrary, the conveniences provided by Chu State are enough for us to do many things." Hu Yanliang said word by word, "For example, we need to train the army, or secretly learn their technology so that our people can do it from now on." With enough food and clothing, you will no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold!”

After a moment, Yuwen Tuo nodded slowly: "What uncle said is absolutely true!"

"Don't worry, uncle, I will never dwell on the pain of the past." Yuwen Tuo said seriously, "I will definitely try my best to make the Xiongnu strong and no longer have to be controlled by Chu!"

After listening to Yuwen Tuo's words, Hu Yanliang smiled happily.

At the same time, under the same sky, the country of Yan.

At this time, the Yan State was already snowing heavily.

Yan Yu sat in front of the hall, looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, his eyes finally flickered a little.

"Counting the days, they are already getting married."

After Yan Yu said these words in a low voice, Wenxue beside him gritted his teeth and did not dare to speak. He was worried that if he spoke, he would make Yan Yu angry.

No one answered, and Yan Yu didn't care.

"I never understood why Xie Yan, a guard, has such a noble temperament, and why he is valued by the Pei family."

"All these questions were answered after learning that he was the orphan of the prince."

Seeing the vague sadness between Yan Yu's brows, Wenxue finally couldn't help it anymore and whispered: "Your Highness, you have done a good enough job! Even if he was in Yan Kingdom, he might not be able to do more than you. good!"

A sneer appeared in Yan Yu's eyes: "Really? But if you leave the imperial city, you can see things that belong to Chu State, but things from our Yan State cannot occupy a place in Chu State."

"Since the opening of the market, our silver, iron ore, and even other contraband from the Yan State have been shipped to the Chu State. All the goods from the Chu State that we Yan people buy are food, clothing, housing and transportation. They even bought them at high prices!”

"If things go on like this, Chu State will only need to dump its own goods to us in exchange for our resources. Our resources will eventually be exhausted. By then... we will be annexed by Chu State.

Yan Yu's words made Wenxue tremble with fear.

Whenever he thought of the scene described by Yan Yu, he felt scared in his heart.

"Your Majesty, at this time, the more we should remind everyone to be careful about Chu State." Wenxue whispered, "We might as well issue a ban to prohibit the circulation of Chu State goods in our country."

After hearing this, Yan Yu sneered and said, "This is no longer possible."

"As soon as the market is built, all our advantages will be gone." Yan Yu closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, "We have become accustomed to things from Chu, and they have penetrated into every corner of our lives."

"These things are addictive."

"It will never be forgotten again."

Yan Yu murmured, not knowing whether he was saying that Chu's goods were addictive or that Chu's people were addictive.

Looking at his expression, Wenxue always felt that he was talking about the latter.

However, Wenxue didn't dare to speak loudly, let alone ask questions. He could only look at Yan Yu's increasingly lonely expression with worry on his face.

Yan Yu looked at the bright moon in the sky, finally drank the wine in his glass, and then stumbled back to the dormitory.

There are some thoughts that he can only keep in his heart forever.
