One month later.

Wei Shuying, Lin Shian and others entered the capital with the team of princesses who were marrying in the desert.

The capital city also ushered in unprecedented grandeur and cheers.

Today, Su Yun also wore the queen's court dress and sat firmly on the dragon throne with Xiao Lusheng.

The Desert Princess was wearing a red and green outfit, with her long hair braided, and was clasping her fists in front of the emperor.

The Imperial Envoy, Qing Chengshi, reminded: "Princess of the Great Desert, you must kneel and bow before our Emperor and Empress."

The Desert Princess didn't look very happy. As a child of the Desert, she would never kneel to anyone easily.

She looked directly at the Emperor and Empress of Cangyun Kingdom sitting on the dragon throne, "Dear Emperor, I am here to marry a foreigner. Is this how you treat guests?"

The left prime minister smiled and said, "What my Cangyun Kingdom received was a letter of peace. It was the Great Desert asking for peace with Cangyun. The princess is a princess who is to be married. If she does not kneel when she sees the emperor, she can go back to where she came from."

"You..." Xiya frowned and looked at the emperor sitting on the main seat.

He seemed calm and even looked at the queen beside him, and did not seem to take the peace proposal seriously.

The maid beside her gently tugged at her sleeve and said, "The king said that when we come to Cangyun Country this time, we must abide by the etiquette of Cangyun Country."

Xiya took a deep breath and finally knelt down.

Yes, she came to ask for peace.

It is not like before where they come to ask for compensation. If you don’t get it, they will send their army to harass the desert country on the border.

"Hilya pays respects to the Emperor and the Empress. May our two countries establish friendship and cease fire from now on." Hilya knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.

Xiao Lusheng hummed, raised his hand and said, "Princess Damo has come from afar and has worked hard on the journey. Please take a seat."

The voice just fell.

A eunuch came over with a chair.

Afterwards, envoys from the desert presented a letter seeking peace.

The Left Prime Minister took it personally, and after confirming it, he passed it up again. After Xiao Lusheng had looked at it, he stamped it with the imperial seal.

The letter of peace has been approved by the Emperor.

The next thing is the princess' marriage.

The princess knelt down and said, "I have heard of the emperor's reputation in the desert, and today I see that he is indeed extraordinary.

The girls in the desert all admire heroes. A man as heroic as the emperor is exactly what Xierya likes. It is Xierya's honor to be a concubine in the emperor's harem."

Xiao Lusheng said: "Princess, wait a minute."

Xierya was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but remember that Xiao Ling once said that the emperor would most likely not take her as a concubine.

So, let her focus on people like General Xie’s Mansion or General Wei Shuying.

Although I know it clearly in my heart.

But Xierya still asked: "Why is this happening, Your Majesty? Do you still think that I, Xierya, the princess of the Great Desert, am not worthy of Your Majesty?"

"Princess Xiya."

Su Yun, who was sitting with Xiao Lusheng, spoke at this time.

It's a good thing that the two of them have stopped fighting. Didn't Xiao Lusheng ask her to come here today just for this purpose?

She smiled, and when she saw Xierya looking at her, she said, "There are many good men in my Cangyun country, including civil and military officials. If there is anyone you like, I can help you get together."

Xierya had noticed Su Yun a long time ago.

She looked to be no more than twenty years old, but she exuded an air of elegance and grace. How could such a woman become the emperor's favorite?

He didn't even have a concubine.

All I can say is that this woman is a ruthless character and is very good at controlling her husband.

Xiya looked around.

Everyone looked unhappy.

Jian Shun finally read out a list, which was probably a list that Xierya could choose to marry.

Finally, the list was handed to Chan Yuer, the maidservant beside Xiya.

"The emperor's meaning is very clear. The princess has traveled a long distance and it is very tiring. After you have rested well, you can slowly choose a suitable husband. At that time, the emperor will grant the princess a marriage."

Xi Ya clasped her fists in the direction of Xiao Lusheng and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

She said she came to choose her ideal husband for marriage, but in fact she was chosen by the men of Cangyun Country.

Before leaving the court.

When Xierya heard that the emperor was consoling the two generals who had made great military achievements, she turned around to look in the direction of Wei Shuying and Lin Shian before walking away.

Royal study room.

Xiao Lusheng called Wei Shuying and Lin Shian over.

The two men bowed respectfully and waited for the emperor's instructions.

"You two generals have worked hard and made great contributions, and you are also people I trust. What do you think of the princess of the desert coming to marry?"

Lin Shian: "If it weren't for the vast desert with few people, changing with the seasons all year round and being difficult to manage, I would really like to capture him in one fell swoop to prevent him from harassing the border and causing trouble in the future."

Wei Shuying also said the same thing.

Xiao Lusheng naturally knew this, and only said: "Now that we can have peace for a while, our Cangyun Kingdom must also recuperate and strengthen its national prestige."

After a pause, he continued, "Then Princess Xierya, do you two have any crush on her?"

Lin Shian lowered his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.

He also knew that the emperor might interfere in his marriage. Now, this Desert Princess...

Although she looked very different from the image of his wife in his mind, she was a princess after all, so he would not let her down.

Sure enough, General Chen Wei was right.

Lin Shian was the first to speak: "I will follow the emperor's arrangements."

Wei Shuying: “…”

"Your humble servant also obeys the emperor's orders." I finally have the chance to be granted marriage and end my years of single life. I can't let Lin Shian snatch it away.

Lin Shian is younger than him, so he can still wait for a year or two.

"You two both have your eyes on the princess of the desert?"

Lin Shian smiled and said, "The princess came all the way here to marry, but she doesn't look delicate at all. I admire her for what she has done."

Wei Shuying said: "I think so too."

It is said that the Princess of the Desert will choose.

In the end, doesn't it still require the Emperor to grant the marriage?

I finally waited for the emperor to think of his marriage, how could I miss it, especially when the other party is a princess of the desert.

Just marry him.

There is no such thing as a Princess of the Desert, only his wife, Wei Shuying.

Now, Xiao Lusheng was in trouble.

He cleared his throat and said, "Okay, you two go back home and rest first. In this month, you are allowed to come to the palace at any time and have more contact with the Desert Princess. When the time comes, let the Desert Princess make her own choice."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Now, the choice is back in the hands of the Desert Princess Hillya.

Walk out of the imperial study.

Wei Shuying complained, "General Lin, you are young. If you meet a girl you like, the emperor will still grant you a marriage. You don't have to fight with me, right?"

Lin Shian shook his head. "General Wei, you and I have both been single for many years. It is not right for us not to have a family. You don't have any relatives urging you to get married, but it's different for me. My father has been urging me to get married for a long time."

Thinking about it, Lin Shian felt somewhat helpless, "I have always been too embarrassed to ask the emperor if he wants to arrange a marriage for me."

Wei Shuying: “…”

Coincidentally, so is he.

Looking at the blue sky in the imperial city, Wei Shuying said, "Hilya is the princess of the desert after all, so she may not have a good temper."
