Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

Zhao Jia, who was standing by, lowered his head shyly when he heard that the King of Loulan had not yet married and did not even have a concubine in Loulan.

I still remember that when the King of Loulan left the capital, he kissed me secretly. I don't know if the King of Loulan likes me now.

......But that's not right. He probably doesn't like me. If he liked me, why didn't he send me a letter?

At this time, the King of Loulan said to Zhao Jia with a smile: "Speaking of which, Princess Chang'an, I sent you a letter during this period...why didn't you reply to me?"

Hearing this, Zhao Jia was completely stunned.

She said quickly: "When did you send me a letter?"

"It's been a long time since I sent you a letter. The last one was two months ago. I sent you a letter as thick as a thumbnail. Why didn't you reply to me?"

"I'd love to know."

"And you haven't replied to any of the letters I sent you in recent years."

The words of the King of Loulan sounded very aggrieved.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, with gossipy gleams in their eyes.

They also wanted to know why Zhao Jia did not reply to the King of Loulan's letter.

Even the emperor and the empress turned their heads and looked at Zhao Jia curiously. Didn’t Zhao Jia like the King of Loulan very much? Why didn’t he reply to his letter?

Zhao Jia was also confused, and Zhao Jia quickly said: "But...why didn't I receive the letter you sent me?"

"You didn't get it?"

The King of Loulan was also stunned, and immediately asked: "Why didn't you receive it? Could it be that there was a problem with the delivery?"

"...No, they have received the letters I sent to His Majesty and the Queen."

The emperor and empress also thought that this was a bit strange.

Jiang Pingan thought about it for a while, and finally smiled at Zhao Jia and said, "I think I know what's going on."

"What's going on?" Zhao Jia asked Jiang Pingan hurriedly.

"There must be someone who doesn't want this letter to be in front of you, right?"

At the side, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining thought that Jiang Pingan was implying something about them.

They came out quickly and said to Jiang Pingan, "Oh my God, Xiao Pingan, this is not us two, we two would never do such a thing!"

"We two did not hide your letter."

Jiang Pingan smiled and nodded, saying, "No matter what happened, now that I have come to Zhou Song, none of this matters."

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, Your Majesty the Ninth Prince's Consort, Chang'an is with the princess. Next... I want to tell you something very serious."

"What?" The King of Loulan said to them bluntly, "The reason why I personally went to Zhou and Song this time is nothing more than one reason. I want to ask for the marriage of your Zhou and Song's Chang'an Grand Princess. I wonder if you can agree to it?"

"If you agree, then... when the eldest princess reaches the age of 15, we will naturally send her a great gift."

"After she reaches the age of 15, we will naturally marry Princess Chang'an back to Loulan."

"..."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but they were not surprised.

After all, Jiang Ping'an has liked Zhao Jia since he was a child, and he had intended to propose to Zhao Jia before, but now he just brought it up openly.

But now, Jiang Pingan is different from before.

In the past, Jiang Ping'an was a king of Loulan, which was just a vassal state at that time, but now... Jiang Ping'an is the king of the entire Western Regions.

He used the entire Western Regions to propose marriage to Zhou Song and wanted Zhao Jia to marry into the Western Regions, which was barely reasonable.

The emperor frowned and looked at Jiang Ping'an, feeling annoyed.

Haha, I didn’t expect this person to be so bad that he wanted to sell his granddaughter to the Western Regions.

What good is there in the Western Regions? It's all wind and sand.

The emperor subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the emperor and the queen looked at each other, they thought about it, and the emperor asked Zhao Jia: "Zhao Jia, are you willing to marry to Loulan? If you are willing, then we have no objection. We will give you a larger dowry later."

"And we do believe that Ping An will treat you well, Zhao Jia, and you will definitely be happy."

But, look at Zhao Jiale, he's not happy about it.

When Zhao Jia heard this, he was stunned and immediately lowered his head. He couldn't tell what he felt.

I don’t know whether I am willing or not.

She thought about it, and said to everyone hesitantly: "...If I marry to Loulan, will I never see my father, mother, uncle, uncle, sister-in-law, grandpa, grandma, and ancestors again?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded, "Probably."

Then Chen Zhining comforted Zhao Jia: "But it's not certain. You know, the Silk Road between Zhou Song and Loulan is so developed now. Maybe in two years, we can still travel between each other."

"We can see each other often in the future, don't you think?"

"Besides, didn't your second uncle say before that he wanted to travel to Loulan in the future? Since he can travel to Loulan, then I guess... we can go too."

"If we miss you, we can just go there."

"Besides, your royal grandfather is about to abdicate. We can go with your royal grandfather and royal grandmother later."

Hearing these words, Zhao Jia's eyes lit up, but...soon the light in his eyes dimmed.

Zhao Jia said hesitantly, "Is that so? Brother Ping An, you wait for me to think about it for a while. When I have thought it through, I will come to see you. How about that?"

Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled happily: "Of course, it's up to you, whatever you want."

"Anyway, I'll wait for your reply."

As he spoke, Jiang Ping'an started chatting with the emperor, empress and others about other topics.

Because of this incident, Zhao Jia's face turned red. He hid in the arms of Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao, and basically didn't look up to see Jiang Pingan, the emperor and the empress.

When Jiang Ping'an saw Zhao Jia's appearance at this time, he couldn't help but find it a little funny. He didn't expect that after not seeing him for so many years, Zhao Jia had become much more shy than before.

However, it is becoming more and more beautiful, just the way I like it.

But no matter what Zhao Jia looks like, I like him very much. So what if he doesn’t look good?

As long as she is Zhao Jia, I am willing to wait.

After they finished chatting and left the palace, Jiang Ping'an quietly pulled Zhao Jia aside and explained to her: "Every year, I sent you many letters, but you replied to me in the first few years, but in the last few years, you didn't reply to me at all."

"Over the years... the number of letters I've sent you, big and small, must be around three to five hundred."

"What's going on? Why don't you reply to me?"

"..."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Zhao Jia said in a somewhat strange tone: "I don't know either."

"By the way, could those letters you mentioned have been hidden by someone close to you?"

"For example, Master Kong Kong."

"Master Kong Kong is my master. This is absolutely impossible. My master doesn't have that much free time. How could he hide my letter?"

Zhao Jia immediately shook his head and said to him: "It should be those letters... that were lost."

Zhao Jia had a terrible idea in his mind, but he didn't dare to believe it.

How could so many letters be lost?

The emperor and empress both received the letters, but I didn't. The only possibility is... someone close to me hid all my letters.

But the people close to him...if Master Kongkong would not do such a thing, then the other close people would be his senior brothers, right?

Among my dozen or so senior brothers, who on earth did such a thing?

The closest person among them is only Senior Brother Seventeen. Could it be Senior Brother Seventeen? !

Oh my God, I really can’t imagine why Senior Brother Seventeen would do such a thing.

What good is there for him to do such a thing?

What is his purpose?

Thinking of this, Zhao Jia felt his breathing stagnate.

Zhao Jia took a deep breath and felt very confused.

At this time, Jiang Pingan was still talking to Zhao Jia for several words, but Zhao Jia didn't have time to respond to him and let everything go in one ear and out the other.

Looking at Zhao Jia's dazed look, Jiang Ping'an knew that she must be thinking about something at this moment.

It has been like this since she was a child. When she is thinking about something, she always pretends not to hear when someone around her talks to her.

Jiang Ping'an smiled, his handsome face radiant, which stunned Zhao Jia.

He touched Zhaojia's little head with a smile, and the two looked at each other. Jiang Pingan asked, "Zhaojia, what are you thinking about?"

It took Zhao Jia a while to come to her senses. She quickly pushed Jiang Ping'an's hand away and said with a blushing face, "Brother Ping'an, what are you doing?"

"How can you touch my head with your hands?"

"Now that we are all grown up, men and women should not touch each other."

"Now that you've grown up, you've become a stranger to me."

"... Never mind, then let's just keep men and women away from each other."

"It's fine if you don't touch anyone else, but why do you touch Brother Ping An?"

Jiang Ping'an smiled and teased her, "When you were little, you were often hugged and kissed by your brother."

"Oh, those were our childhood days, how can we confuse them? We are both grown up now."

When Zhao Jia heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he quickly said to Jiang Pingan: "Brother Pingan, if you say this again next time, I will be angry."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, don't be angry."

Jiang Pingan said with a smile, "I saw that you were frowning and seemed to be worried, so I wanted to tell you a few words."

Zhao Jia's smile immediately fell when he heard this, "Well, Brother Ping An, I've thought about it and now I have to apologize to you."

"What's going on?" Jiang Pingan was stunned.

Then Zhao Jia lowered his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I didn't expect...you actually wrote to me during this period, but I thought you didn't write to me...I hope you won't be angry with me for my attitude towards you at the beginning."

"Hey, why should I be angry with you? I know my sister Zhaojia won't do anything to me."

"It's just that Brother Ping An is not good, so you are angry."

"But Brother Ping An will reflect on what he did wrong in the future and make my sister Zhao Jia angry."

Having said that, he immediately tentatively said further: "...Zhao Jia, let's go around the palace together."

"This palace...I haven't been back for a long time. I wonder what it looks like now."

Zhao Jia was very happy. He nodded, and skipped away to visit the palace with Jiang Ping'an.

The Loulan attendants were all stunned as they saw their King of Loulan strolling happily around the palace with Princess Chaoyang not far away, and he didn't seem to be reluctant at all.

"Doesn't our King of Loulan hate wasting time the most?"

"This mission to Zhou and Song was only for a short month, and he still had to deal with government affairs when he returned. But now... he actually started to tour the palace with the eldest princess without any hurry."

But after thinking about it, they realized that Alba Khan probably wanted to marry Princess Chang'an back to Loulan.

Since you want to marry the princess back to Loulan, you will definitely have to put in some effort.

It's impossible to just ignore everything and marry the little princess back to Loulan.

As soon as the King of Loulan arrived in Kyoto, he played with the little princess.

The news that the two of them strolled around from morning to night and played from day to night reached the ears of everyone in Kyoto.

The people of Kyoto have watched the little princess grow up. On weekdays, these Kyoto citizens love to listen to gossip about princes and nobles, especially gossip about King Jiang Ping'an of Loulan and Zhao Jia, the eldest daughter of Chen Zhining.

The love story between the two of them has been passed down for the longest time.

They heard that the reason why Princess Chang'an entered the Buddhist temple and practiced in the temple for so long was for the King of Loulan, Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Ping'an left Kyoto and returned to Loulan. He unified the Western Regions in a short period of time, and his momentum was almost comparable to that of Zhou and Song. This was just to come back and marry their Princess Chang'an.

These gossips in Kyoto soon reached the ears of the emperor and empress.

It had been three or four days since Jiang Ping'an's diplomatic mission to Zhou and Song. The emperor and the empress were currently in the imperial study, sitting face to face with the crown prince next to them.

The emperor smiled and handed a piece of cake to the empress, and the empress gently gave the emperor a piece of cake as well. The prince next to him was reviewing memorials with a bitter look on his face.

Since the emperor grew old, his eyesight became less clear, and the task of reviewing memorials was usually done by the crown prince.

Now the emperor thought that since he was about to abdicate anyway, he might as well leave the task of reviewing memorials to the prince.
