Pei Ding felt bitter. He was reborn, but before he could spend a few days with his daughter, she was about to get married and leave him.

He opened his mouth and was suddenly filled with grief. His bear-like body could not bear it any longer and he threw himself into the princess' arms.

Ahhh, he started crying.

The sound is so miserable that it makes people sad and cry.

Pei Chun: “…” Dad, please stop crying. It felt like thunder was ringing in her ears.

The eldest brother Pei Qing couldn't stand it anymore and explained on behalf of his father: "The emperor wanted to grant you a marriage with the Sixth Prince.

In the end, Daddy said that he would marry my third brother to the eighth princess born to the Queen, in exchange for you going to Xijiang to marry.”

There was a hint of disapproval in his tone towards the end, and he looked at Pei Ding with resentment in his eyes.

This morning, Pei Ding brought several of his sons into the palace to pay their respects to the emperor.

When they arrived at the main hall, they found that there was not only the emperor in the room, but also the empress dowager, the queen, and the sixth prince.

Pei Ding's eyes turned immediately and he understood what this group of people were planning.

Before the Queen Mother could ask, Pei Ding immediately lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a marriage for my third son."

The emperor glanced at Pei Ding who was kneeling on the ground, and said in surprise: "My dear minister, you just returned to the court, why are you so anxious?

Then tell me, my dear, who do you want to ask for your son Mingyu?"

While the Queen Mother and the Sixth Prince were silent, Pei Ding mentioned a candidate that no one expected.

That is: "I would like to ask for the eighth princess to marry Mingyu.

Mingyu has been in love with the Eighth Princess for a long time, and I beg the Emperor to grant my wish."

Now the Queen Mother and the Empress were surprised. They looked at each other and tacitly did not speak.

The Eighth Princess was also born to the Queen, and was the Sixth Prince's biological sister.

The queen thought to herself, since we are going to marry into the Pei family anyway, the eighth princess will do.

However, if one wants to win her over, it is better to choose the daughter of the Pei family. After all, if the Sixth Prince does not like her, he can find a few other beloved concubines.

It is a matter of course, and the Pei family will not obstruct anything.

But her eighth princess is a girl. What if she marries someone and he doesn’t like the third son of the Pei family?

The emperor hesitated and said, "My dear, I was just about to tell you about this today.

A few days ago, I just received a marriage proposal from Xijiang.

As for the candidate, I also want to point to the Eighth Princess. It is really embarrassing for you to come and ask for marriage at this time, my dear. "

Sacrifice a princess, oh no, now it has to be the Pei family's daughter.

Getting a city for free is worth it no matter how you look at it.

In order to marry the princess, you have to give her a city in exchange for a brief period of peace. Anyone who doesn't agree to this condition is a fool!

Anyway, the one sent there was not his daughter.

The emperor didn't want his eighth princess to travel thousands of miles to marry.

Now Pei Ding has taken the initiative to offer the opportunity.

After thinking for a while, he pretended to sigh, and before Pei Ding could reply, he suddenly changed the subject: "However, my Sixth Prince Xu'er, like your Chun'er, will grow up next year.

I think that they are of similar age, and Chun'er and Xu'er have similar personalities, so they are a perfect match."

Pei Ding thought to himself that it was indeed so. If he had been a step slower, his daughter would have been sent into the fire pit.

However, he also understood what the emperor meant. If the eighth princess really got engaged to the third son, there would be no one left to marry.

Haha, the emperor has made it so obvious, who else could go except his Mingcheng!

Pei Ding rolled his eyes in his heart.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, why don't you let Chun'er go to Western Xinjiang?"

After saying that, he took the time to turn his head and gave a look to a few children who were almost unable to sit still.

The emperor seemed hesitant, but he was satisfied with Pei Ding's ability to see the current situation.

The Queen Mother was calm and composed, and did not ask for anything on behalf of her beloved grandson.

The queen silently thought in her heart that it would be good if her daughter married Pei Ding's son.

Being close to her saves her daughter from traveling thousands of miles to marry far away.

We haven't seen each other for ten or eight years.

Moreover, judging from the emperor's behavior in recent years, he will never let go of Xinjiang.

If a war breaks out, the princess who marries a foreign prince will most likely end up in a bad situation.

By then, your life will be in danger...

However, since the Pei family is now in the same boat, I still have to sell them some benefits so that it will be easier to control them in the future.

Thinking of this, the Queen's eyes turned and said, "Your Majesty, since Zhan'er has feelings for the Eighth Princess, we can't be the ones to break up the couple and let the two children live apart.

Besides, we in Zhao State already have a prince from Western Xinjiang who can be married to.”

After hearing this, Pei Ding snorted in his heart.

He knew that the witch Queen would help him succeed!

Seeing that the time was almost right, Pei Ding spoke up, hinting to the emperor: "What the Queen said is absolutely right.

The Western Frontier side did not specifically mention which princess they wanted.

Besides, we had an agreement with Xijiang that the hostages had to stay in Zhao for forty years before they could return..."

So, just like that, Pei Chun became the candidate for marriage to Western Xinjiang.

She looked at Gu Yuan and smiled with joy.

With a look of ecstasy flashing in her eyes, she couldn't help but sneak up to him and pull Gu Yuan's sleeve.

He threatened in a low voice: "Tell me the truth, did you send a letter to Xijiang, asking them to marry the princess?"

Gu Yuan was stunned, and in front of Pei Chun's many brothers, he blushed again in embarrassment. He pursed his lips and was about to explain in a low voice.

Over there, the princess who had escaped from Pei Ding's arms, straightened her messy hair, and said faintly: "You all go back first.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince should also go back home and get some change of clothes.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so His Royal Highness the Third Prince should stay at the Princess's residence and celebrate the festival together.

Let’s have some fun as a family.

Be careful, don't let anyone see you next time."

The eldest princess' words were not tactful and her meaning was very clear.

Gu Yuan understood.

The princess wanted him to go back openly, and then sneak back over the wall...

In order to avoid being seen by others and being accused of bringing shame to Western Xinjiang, he rushed to marry Duke Xin of Zhao before they even got married.

Also, a family?

Gu Yuan appreciated Pei Chun's kindness, so he silently let go of Pei Chun's hand.

He turned around reluctantly, looking back every few steps, and followed Chuyi out the door.

The children in the house scattered like birds and beasts.

They all ran to Pei Zhan's room to comfort the third brother Pei Zhan who was about to get married.

Except Pei Chun.

The eldest princess returned to her seat, picked up the warm teacup, and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Tell me, is Xuan Yan possessed by some lonely ghost, or has he been enlightened by an immortal and reborn into nirvana?"
