The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy
Chapter 162: Marriage between two countries?
"It's still early today, I wonder if Crown Prince Xi can take me and the Seventh Princess out for a walk?"
Prince Fan smiled and spoke first.
The reason why the Crown Prince of Fan State followed the envoy to Li State this time was actually for the marriage of his seventh sister.
According to what his father said, in recent years, the strength of Li State has been growing, while Fan State has remained stagnant and unable to realize its ambitions.
If this continues, even if there is a contract in place, and Li and Rong do not take action against Fan, there will be other countries that want to swallow up Fan.
In order to prevent the royal family of Fan State from declining in his hands, the emperor of Fan State decided to arrange a marriage between the two countries to strengthen the ties between the two countries. If there really came a day when other countries came to attack Fan State, then Li State would definitely send troops to help because of the in-laws.
The Emperor of Fan State had his sights set on Li State.
His plan was to marry his seventh princess into the royal family of Li, and he even sent the crown prince to facilitate this.
The Seventh Princess of Fan State was also told by her father that for the future of Fan State, she was willing to stay in Li State.
However, she still didn't know which prince she would marry...
Hearing her brother's voice, the Seventh Princess of Fan State subconsciously looked up at him, then quickly looked away. A blush appeared on her fair face, and she said with a smile, "I heard that Shengjing has a lot of delicious food. Why don't you take us to taste it, Prince Xi?"
"can."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xi did not refuse, but called Zhai Chengwen, who was standing aside and instructing the servants to serve the envoys of the two countries well.
Xie Xi: "Zhai Shaoqing is quite knowledgeable about food, and knows where the best food and wine are in the capital. Let Zhai Shaoqing lead the way for you two."
After hearing this, Zhai Chengwen nodded in agreement: "Your Highness is right. The food and wine in Zui Xiang Lou in the capital are truly amazing. Once you have tasted them, you will definitely not be disappointed."
"Okay, then let's go to Zui Xiang Lou."
When he first arrived, the Prince of Fan had no objection.
The Seventh Princess of Fan State also agreed.
As for the third princess, fifth prince and sixth prince of Rong State, after they entered the yard, they never came out again.
In order to avoid giving others a chance to talk, Xie Xi specially sent someone to the courtyard of the Rong State envoy to inquire.
After learning that all the people from Rong State were going to stay in the courtyard to rest, Xie Xi took Zhai Chengwen and the other two away, but did not bring any guards with him.
As soon as the four people left the house, the envoys from the Rong State received the news.
After taking a bath, the third princess of Rong washed away her fatigue, but she did not stay in the room to rest. Instead, she took her personal maid to look for her fifth and sixth brothers.
There are many rooms in one courtyard.
The third princess of Rong lived in the main house, and her two younger brothers lived in the rooms on both sides.
The third princess of Rong State knocked on the door on the left and said loudly, "Fifth brother, open the door, it's me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened.
Looking at the fifth brother standing in front of her, and the sixth brother sitting behind him, there were two cups of tea on the table. It was obvious that the two of them seemed to be discussing something just now, but were interrupted by her coming over.
Rong Qianluo curled her lips and said with dissatisfaction: "You actually secretly stayed in the room to discuss important matters without telling this princess?"
As he spoke, Rong Qianluo raised his chin, strode into the room, and snorted at his sixth brother in an unhappy tone.
The Sixth Prince Rong Qianxu said helplessly: "Third Sister, I didn't bother you just now because you were washing up."
Rong Qianluo was speechless for a moment: "..."
"Okay, my sister forgives you."
Rong Qianxu: ...He did nothing wrong, so why should we talk about forgiving him?
But as a younger brother, he never had any chance to refute in front of the third sister.
After the Fifth Prince Rong Qianming closed the door, he turned around and saw the helplessness on the Sixth Prince's face. He couldn't help laughing, "Sixth Prince, we are not in Rong Country now, why are you still afraid of the Third Prince?"
Rong Qianluo narrowed his eyes and said threateningly, "Hmm?"
Rong Qianming silently looked away, pretending to have a sore throat and coughed lightly. He tactfully talked about other things, "Father asked us to come to Li Kingdom, firstly to give gifts for the birthday banquet of the Emperor of Li Kingdom, and secondly to let us secretly find out the true strength of Li Kingdom now. I wonder what Third Sister and Sixth Brother think?"
Rong Qianluo: "If you want to find out about this, why didn't we follow the Crown Prince of Li out just now?"
Rong Qianxu shook his head, his brows slightly furrowed. “Once the Crown Prince of Fan is here, there will be many things that we cannot directly tell the Crown Prince of Li. We still have to find another time to meet the Crown Prince of Li.”
They still don't know what the Prince of Fan is planning, so they should wait and see.
A piece of paper contract between the three countries is not safe.
As a princess, Rong Qianluo has been staying in the harem since she was a child, so she is a little delayed in getting news.
She didn't know much about the affairs of the State of Fan. When she entered the city gate, she inadvertently glanced at the Prince of Fan. He looked handsome and did not seem like a treacherous person. She didn't know that her sixth brother had such a deep prejudice against the Prince of Fan.
Rong Qianluo's eyes turned, and he lowered his voice deliberately and said, "We don't have anything to do right now, why don't we go out and follow Prince Xi and the others?"
Rong Qianxu was surprised: "Third sister wants to follow them?"
Rong Qianluo: "Then are you going or not?"
Rong Qianming took the lead in expressing his thoughts through his actions——
He opened the door again, stepped over the threshold and walked out.
Seeing this, Rong Qianluo hurriedly followed: "Fifth brother, wait for me, let's go together!"
Rong Qianxu: “???”
Can't you wait for him?
-
The city of Shengjing was still bustling with activity and people were bustling about.
The hawking of street vendors and the smell of meat from the stalls made it difficult for the Seventh Princess of Fan State to move forward.
Finally, the Prince of Fan State could no longer bear it, and used a piece of silver to buy a lot of food, and finally he successfully took the Seventh Princess of Fan State away.
Zhai Chengwen didn't expect that the Seventh Princess of Fan State in front of him was so greedy. She wanted to buy everything she saw and try it. Her personality was quite good.
It seems that the task of entertaining the envoys from the two countries should not be difficult to accomplish this time.
Three quarters of an hour later, Xie Xi and his three companions finally arrived at Zui Xiang Lou.
Previously, Zhai Chengwen had sent someone to book a separate private room in Zui Xiang Lou. This time, when they came, they followed the waiter upstairs and entered the private room.
Zhai Chengwen: "What would you two like to eat?"
Prince Fan: "The guest follows the host's wishes."
The Seventh Princess of Fan State nodded.
Zhai Chengwen raised his eyes to glance at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, asking for his opinion.
Xie Xi brushed his sleeves and said calmly, "You decide."
Zhai Chengwen ordered the waiter, "Bring a jar of peach wine and a few of our signature dishes."
In his opinion, all the dishes at Zui Xiang Lou are very good, and he doesn’t know how to choose, so he might as well leave the choice to the kitchen.
The waiter took note of it and turned away.
The private room fell silent for a moment, with only the aroma of food wafting from the arms of the Seventh Princess of Fan State.
The Crown Prince of Fan could not help but take a look and sighed in his heart. The Seventh Princess had such an unconventional personality. Could she really marry into the royal family of Li?
Whether for the sake of Rong Kingdom or not, he hoped that the Seventh Princess could find a husband who would indulge her temper in the future.
But he didn't know much about the princes of the Emperor of Li. What he heard from others was too one-sided. If he had the chance, he would like to meet them in advance.
It would be best if the person that the Seventh Princess will marry could be decided before the birthday banquet of the Emperor of Li begins.
Thinking of this, the Prince of Fan State broke the silence in the room and said, "Prince Xi, if the Emperor Li has not summoned me, can I come to the palace?"
Logically speaking, as envoys from the State of Fan who came to congratulate the Emperor of the State of Li, they could not enter the palace early unless it was an urgent matter. Only on the day of the Emperor of the State of Li's birthday banquet would the eunuchs receive orders to leave the palace and go to the mansion to bring them into the palace.
After hearing this, Xie Xi and Zhai Chengwen were both surprised.
However, despite being surprised, Xie Xi still wanted to make it clear to him, "If the emperor hadn't summoned me, I would have made the decision."
After a pause, Xie Xi continued, "Why would Prince Yu want to enter the palace?"
Prince Fan Yu of Fan State pursed his lips and glanced at Zhai Chengwen who was sitting opposite him calmly, "I wonder if this Shaoqing Zhai could leave for a moment? I have something important to discuss with Prince Xi."
Zhai Chengwen stood up and said, "Okay."
Princess Fan Qi thought for a moment and said, "Brother Crown Prince, what about me?"
Prince Fan: "...You stay."
Princess Fan Qi: "Oh."
After seeing Zhai Chengwen leave, the Crown Prince of Fan State talked about the business: "To be honest with you, Crown Prince Xi, my Seventh Sister and I came here for the purpose of the marriage between our two countries."
"I originally wanted to go to the palace to inform Emperor Li about this matter, but now I think it's a little inappropriate, so I want to confess this to you."
"I wonder if Prince Xi could help me meet other princes who have not yet married?"
The Seventh Princess of Fan State: "!!!"
She is still sitting here, can't Prince let her go away for a while?
Xie Xi: “…”
Xie Xi had never expected that the Emperor of Fan State was actually planning a marriage between the two countries!
But it is also true that the faster the strength of the State of Li grows, the more panic the other two countries that signed the contract will feel.
However, there are only a few princes who have not yet married.
Xie Xi: "My fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers have not yet married. As for the other princes, they are too young to leave the palace and do not have residences."
"Even if the two countries really want to marry, my father will not consider those younger brothers who are too young."
Prince Fan: "May I ask Prince Xi, what are the temperaments of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Princes?"
Xie Xi was silent for a moment.
Xie Xi only had a very superficial impression of his fifth and sixth brothers.
The fifth prince was born to Concubine Qin, who was not favored and did not receive many rewards. The fifth prince had a hard life in the palace since he was young and was bullied by palace servants from time to time.
Once, Xie Xi saw this and stepped forward to punish those palace servants on behalf of his fifth brother. He also reported the matter to his father. After that, whenever he entered the palace again, he never saw his fifth brother being bullied.
Later, the fifth brother left the palace to set up his own residence, and specially sent a letter to Xie Xi, wanting to invite him to his residence for a gathering, but at that time Xie Xi was busy working for his father and was busy everywhere, so he was unable to come to the house for the appointment...
After that, the fifth brother never sent him a message again.
As for the Sixth Prince, Xie Xi remembered that the Sixth Prince was too cowardly and had no opinions of his own. Even before having meals, he had to seek the consent of his biological mother, Concubine Lan.
When the Crown Prince of Fan saw that the expression on Crown Prince Xi's face was slightly gloomy, his heart skipped a beat. He looked at his Seventh Sister again and met her worried gaze. He paused and called out again, "Crown Prince Xi?"
Xie Xi came back to his senses and said calmly, "I can't say for sure. If Crown Prince Yu is interested, why don't I arrange for the three of them to meet with Crown Prince Yu?"
If the Kingdom of Fan really wanted to form an alliance, Xie Xi felt that the fifth prince would be a good fit.
Although the fifth prince has left the palace and set up his own household, he still has no concubines and has not married a princess, so his backyard is peaceful and quiet.
"No."
The Crown Prince of Fan State felt that it was inappropriate. As a crown prince of a foreign country, he met with the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince alone. If this matter were to be spread out, he was afraid that something strange would happen.
To be cautious, he cannot see it.
As soon as Xie Xi heard this, he could guess what the Crown Prince of Fan was thinking. He then made another suggestion: "Tomorrow I will ask my father for permission to take a few princes to the hunting ground. I wonder if Crown Prince Yu wants to come with us?"
Hearing this, the Prince of Fan State was delighted: "If you go to the hunting ground, I will definitely accompany you to the end!"
Xie Xi: "Okay, then let's settle this matter first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter's voice rang out from outside, "Master Zhai, why are you standing outside the door and not going in?"
Then came Zhai Chengwen's reply: "Come out for some fresh air, give me all the wine and food, I'll take them in, and you can leave now."
The waiter heard this without thinking much. He handed the tray to Zhai Chengwen and left.
Zhai Chengwen knocked on the door: "The food is served."
Just as Xie Xi was about to speak, he suddenly saw the Seventh Princess of Fan Kingdom quickly stand up and said excitedly, "I'll go open the door."
Xie Xi: “…”
The Crown Prince of Fan was too weak to hold his forehead. When the Seventh Princess heard that there was food to be eaten, she completely forgot about the etiquette of a princess.
The Seventh Princess of Fan State opened the door, and only closed it after Zhai Chengwen came in with peach blossom wine in one hand and a tray in the other.
Zhai Chengwen placed the wine and food on the table and said with a smile, "Seventh Princess, Prince Yu, would you like to try this jar of peach blossom wine?"
Prince Fan pushed his wine glass over and said, "Pour it up."
Zhai Chengwen opened the seal of the wine jar, picked it up and poured a full cup for the Prince of Fan State, then pushed the wine glass in front of him, "Prince Yu, please."
Prince Fan picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The strong aroma of peach blossoms filled his nose. After taking a sip, there was a light fragrance, sweet but not astringent.
"Good wine!"
The seventh princess of Fan State's eyes lit up, and she said anxiously: "Zhai Shaoqing, pour me a glass quickly!"
Zhai Chengwen was about to pour the wine, but was stopped by the Crown Prince of Fan State, "Seventh Sister, you are not allowed to drink!"
The Seventh Princess of Fan State: "Why? I can drink quite well!"
Prince Fan: "No means no, don't even think about drinking secretly!"
The Seventh Princess of Fan State snorted unwillingly: "Brother Crown Prince, you are so biased..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard a "bang" and the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Who on earth has taken over this young master's place?"
