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

The Emperor immediately looked at the Crown Prince, and the Empress looked at the Crown Princess. Both the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess shook their heads.

The Crown Princess looked at Princess Pingnan at this time. Princess Pingnan immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "It may be inappropriate for others to ask for this reward now, but I am the only legitimate daughter of my father and mother, so it is very appropriate for me to ask for this reward."

"Since Princess Chang'an is going to marry Loulan, why not give her the Liangzhou land as her fief. If Princess Chang'an misses home, she can come back and visit."

"...the two countries combined their strength to support the princess. This is probably the first time in history."

"Yes, it is such a great honor."

Everyone nodded and admired in their hearts.

Moreover, in order for Zhao Jia to marry him, the King of Loulan was actually willing to marry into Zhou Song's family, which was also unexpected to everyone.

The emperor and the queen had nothing to say. They both nodded and said amiably, "Okay, okay, that's good."

"It's just that... I'll bring the betrothal gifts back to the children later."

"We Zhou and Song are already very wealthy, so asking for Loulan's betrothal gifts is useless anyway."

"Just give them the money and take it back so that they can use it for their daily life. What do you think?"

"Okay, no problem."

Therefore, the betrothal gift of half of the national treasury mentioned by the King of Loulan was just a formality.

When Princess Chang'an returns to Loulan, she will also need to exchange the money for silver to take back with her.

This would also demonstrate their royal family's preference for Princess Chang'an.

Only in this way can Princess Chang'an become more popular in both Zhou, Song and Loulan.

Otherwise, they were actually a little worried. Even though Zhou and Song were the Celestial Empire and superior to Loulan, what if the people of Loulan did not welcome their foreign princess?

Besides, Zhao Jia is still young and a princess. If she is bullied over there...what should she do?

Therefore, they, Zhou Song, must become strong now, and tell the world that their favorite little princess is Princess Chang'an.

After Princess Chang'an marries, she must not be bullied in any way.

If Princess Chang'an was bullied, the entire Zhou and Song dynasties would fight back.

The news that Zhao Jia was going to get married spread throughout the streets and alleys of Zhou Song.

Everyone had been speculating before whether Princess Chang'an would marry the King of Loulan.

Now, it is a done deal.

Everyone couldn't help but feel excited.

"Oh, I was saying... Princess Chang'an and King Loulan would definitely be able to have a happy ending. After all, they loved each other very much at that time."

"When they were very young, when Princess Rongbao came out to give alms, I would often see them together, holding hands and playing together."

"Yeah, I also think they can be successful. After all, we have watched them grow up together."

"...Everyone has seen what the Grand Princess Chang'an looks like. In the Buddhist temple, many people have also seen what the Grand Princess Chang'an looks like. You have also seen the King of Loulan, right? Oh, they are really a handsome man and a pretty woman, they are really a perfect match."

"Yeah, they're a match made in heaven."

"Have you heard that His Highness Ping'an actually wanted to marry our eldest princess by using the Loulan treasury as a betrothal gift? Moreover, His Highness Ping'an is willing to be a subordinate and become the son-in-law of our Zhou Song."

"This... this may not only be for the sake of the Grand Princess Chang'an, but may also be for the sake of our Zhou and Song dynasties, because our Zhou and Song dynasties are now strong and prosperous."

"Makes sense."

"..."

Everyone nodded and said various things.

Nowadays, the streets are full of gossip about the two of them getting married.

At this time, the whole Zhou Song was very happy.

Because the Princess Chang'an of Zhou Song was as beautiful as a flower and kind-hearted, the entire Zhou Song liked this princess very much.

This princess was famous for her beauty, and she was also the eldest daughter of the Ninth Prince and his wife.

They all remembered from the beginning that before the Grand Princess Chang'an came to the Buddhist temple, she would personally take a spoon to distribute porridge every season. She was very kind-hearted.

How could they not like such a princess?

What they hope most is that such a kind princess can have a good home.

Now, the Grand Princess Chang'an can finally marry the King of Loulan in a dignified manner, and the King of Loulan is also the Grand Princess Chang'an's consort. Isn't this equivalent to the Grand Princess Chang'an being on top and the King of Loulan being on the bottom...

And half of the Loulan treasury was given as a betrothal gift.

However, the Loulan envoys were obstructive...

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is an alluring love story that will move the entire world."

Just thinking about it, they couldn't help but feel excited.

Although they are not the ones getting married, it does not stop them from being excited.

These people were very gossipy, so these gossips gradually reached the ears of the Loulan envoys.

"..."

The Loulan envoy's mood, which was not very good to begin with, suddenly became even worse.

They were in the palace, in the reception room prepared for them by the emperor, and couldn't help but speak to Jiang Pingan: "...So, my highness, what were you thinking at the time? Why did you do this? Why did you have to give this half of the national treasury to the Grand Princess Chang'an???"

"...If you don't give it to me, I'll say you want to be the consort of the Grand Princess Chang'an. Based on the relationship between you and the Grand Princess Chang'an, will His Majesty and the Queen disagree?"

Hearing this, Jiang Pingan smiled and said to them calmly: "Of course this won't work."

"If we do this, Chang'an will be inferior to Zhou and Song, and will also be inferior when we return to Loulan."

"Now, with half of Loulan's treasury as a betrothal gift, she won't be inferior to him in Loulan."

"You all in Loulan should respect Chang'an more."

"If you don't like the Grand Princess of Chang'an... then you don't like half of Loulan's treasury."

"??????"

"!!!"

After hearing these words, the envoys from Loulan felt that they had no way to refute them at all.

The Loulan envoys looked at each other and finally became discouraged: "... Never mind, anyway, as long as our Loulan King likes it."

Jiang Pingan glanced at them and continued indifferently, "No matter what you think, no matter how unhappy you are, I have already made this request."

"After this, if you say anything in front of Grand Princess Chang'an that you shouldn't say, don't blame me for being rude."

After these words fell, the Loulan envoys looked bitter. They couldn't help but roll their eyes in their hearts, but said respectfully to Jiang Ping'an: "We dare not, Your Majesty."

Even if they were unhappy in their hearts, they couldn't get angry in front of Jiang Pingan.

Alas, Jiang Pingan is right, the Grand Princess of Chang'an is of noble status and worth so much...

If she marries to Loulan, the people of Loulan will have to welcome her even if they don't want to.

There is no way to avoid being welcomed, as she carries the money from Loulan's treasury.

Alas, I don’t know how deep Jiang Ping’an’s thoughts are. He actually started preparing betrothal gifts for his wife when she was so young.

The betrothal gift they brought was not even one-tenth of what he said.

The envoys from Loulan secretly complained about Jiang Ping'an.

"..."

After a while, Jiang Pingan heard a voice coming from outside: "Lord King of Loulan, are you there?"

Hearing this, the King of Loulan glanced sideways and said to the outside: "Who?"

"I am the senior brother of the Grand Princess of Chang'an, the seventeenth child. You can just call me Little Seventeen."

Hearing these gentle words, Jiang Pingan was silent for a moment, then opened the door.

Looking at a bald monk standing outside, he understood everything at that moment.

Maybe it's because they are rivals in love and are particularly jealous of each other.

They looked into each other's eyes, how could they not understand each other's feelings?

Jiang Pingan smiled slowly at Seventeen, and his smile was particularly strange: "...You are here."

Senior Brother Seventeen nodded at Jiang Ping'an with a complicated expression.

Finally, he thought about it, took out a relic from his bag, handed it to Jiang Ping'an and said, "This relic is for you."

"This relic was left for me by my master, Master Kongkong, when he passed away. I will use it for self-defense in the future."

“Now, I give it to you.”

"Why are you giving it to me?" Jiang Ping'an was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Let's talk for a moment." Senior Brother Seventeen glanced at the Loulan envoy who was craning his neck to look inside curiously, and said to Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Ping'an nodded, then took Senior Brother Seventeen to a big tree in the palace.

I have an impression of this big tree.

Jiang Ping'an remembered that a long time ago, when he and Chen Zhining's children were playing together, they often stayed under this big tree to enjoy the coolness.

You can also eat the fruit on it.

This tree was already very tall when it was very small, and now it is even taller, with thick branches. Many small ants have grown under the tree, corroding the branches. If you are not careful, the ants will crawl on your body. Now it is no longer suitable for enjoying the shade.

Jiang Ping'an stared at the ants under the big tree in a daze.

Senior Brother Seventeen felt that the ants were a bit disgusting, so he stepped back two steps, silently handed the relic to the King of Loulan, and said to Jiang Ping'an: "Lord King of Loulan, you have always been a smart man, and you must know that I gave you this relic for a purpose."

"So, what exactly do you want? If you want something, you can tell me. We in Loulan are still very rich."

After hearing this, Senior Brother Seventeen shook his head, smiled at Jiang Ping'an, and said, "Your Highness Ping'an, you have always had everything you need. You are a descendant of the Emperor and are extremely noble. But you don't know that you are destined to have a calamity."

"And this disaster concerns you and my junior sister, the Grand Princess of Chang'an, Zhao Jia."

"Otherwise, why would His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, His Majesty the Ninth Prince's Consort, and the rest of the royal family agree to let her stay in the Buddhist temple for so long?"

"...It is because of this calamity that I have to stay in the Buddhist temple for so long, for several years."

Jiang Pingan nodded. "When I first heard what the outside world said and the letter Zhaojia sent me, I just thought that there was another disturbance in Zhou Song. Maybe there were some criminals or people who wanted to seize power, so they sent Zhaojia away for asylum."

“…I didn’t expect that it would take so long just because of this calamity.”

Senior Brother Seventeen said, "Yes, and during this period, Zhao Jia wanted to come out of retreat countless times, but it was Master Kong Kong who said that her merits for one calamity had not been completed, so she could not come out of retreat."

"It has been nine years now. She has finally completed her merits and can now come out of seclusion. Even if she is about to face a calamity... it won't be a big deal."

"But she didn't, and you did."

As Senior Brother Seventeen spoke, he gave the relic to Jiang Ping'an and continued to say to him, "Just accept the relic I gave you."

"In this way, this relic can protect you from disaster."

"This... is also my wedding gift to you."

Hearing this, Jiang Pingan pursed his lips and said, "But, you should only have one relic, right?"

"Yes, I only have one, and the others are now in the pagoda."

"If there is only one, and I take yours, then you will be gone..."

Seventeen smiled, with a look of relief on his face, "I am a Buddhist disciple, I have redeemed my sins in front of the Buddha, and reincarnation should not fall on the head of a monk like me. If I don't cause trouble, this relic will not be able to save my life or ward off disasters. Then it is useless to me."

"But it's different for you, King Loulan. If you take this, both you and the princess will be happy. So... you should take this relic."

"You and the princess must be happy forever."

After saying this, Senior Brother Seventeen turned around and left.

Looking at Senior Brother Seventeen's back, King Loulan's eyes gradually changed for a long time. He accepted the relic and put it in his brocade bag and wore it close to his body.

I don't doubt that this Seventeen might be deceiving me. If he gives me some other lucky charms, what should I do if I get bewitched? I believe he won't do that. He likes the Grand Princess Chang'an very much.

I had already found out that it was this Seventeen who intercepted all the envelopes I gave to the Grand Princess of Chang'an.

Since he had such thoughts, he would not harm Princess Chang'an.

Moreover, there are also capable people in Loulan. I have appointed a national teacher in Loulan, who is about the same age as me.
