Madam, protect me!

Li Nuo stretched out his hand to the woman in front of him and said politely: "Sixth Princess, please."

Through these few days of contact, he has learned that the female official of the Zhao Kingdom is actually the sixth princess of the Zhao Kingdom.

The fourth prince of Zhao Kingdom is her biological brother from both father and mother.

Zhao Zhiyi walked into the room, first smiled at Song Yiren and said, "Hello, Miss Song."

Song Yiren raised her head and said, "Hello, Your Highness, Princess."

She put the chessboard aside on the table, poured two cups of tea for Li Nuo and the Sixth Princess of Zhao, then walked aside and read a book silently.

After Zhao Zhiyi sat down, he took a sip of tea, and then asked Li Nuo: "I wonder if Mr. Li has thought about that matter clearly?"

This opportunity comes once in decades. In fact, Li Nuo had thought about it carefully when he was in Chang'an.

Along the way, he had been waiting for the other party to speak first.

They were able to keep their composure. They were going to Zhao State tomorrow, so they didn't mention this matter until now.

After thinking for a moment, Li Nuo nodded and said, "I hope Her Highness the Princess will not forget her original promise."

Zhao Zhiyi's face showed joy and he said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, we will definitely do what we promised you."

Li Nuo took a sip of tea and said, "Your Highness can tell you about the situation of the fourth prince in detail."

After drinking a cup of tea, Li Nuo already knew the general information.

The Emperor of Zhao was about the same age as the Emperor of Daxia, but he already had a premonition that his end was approaching.

The emperors of the five dynasties were able to enjoy the most top-notch resources, and many high-level doctors were at their disposal. Logically speaking, they should live longer.

But the fact is that once the emperor lives past the age of sixty years, he will quickly face his end.

Compared to other sixth realms, their strength comes too easily.

Royals never live long, which seems to be the price of supreme power.

When the end of a country's emperor comes, choosing a successor as early as possible and then transferring power will help him live longer.

Historically, there have been emperors who abdicated and continued to live for another twenty years.

And the more reluctant you are to delegate power, the shorter your life will be after you abdicate.

Half a year ago, Emperor Zhao had determined the day to abdicate.

One of the four princes who oversee the country will become the next emperor of Zhao.

Now half a year has passed, and the fourth prince is at an absolute disadvantage among the princes.

He is the youngest and the weakest in the court. He has not had any outstanding political achievements in the past six months and is the least favored among the four princes.

Within this six months, he must improve his political performance as soon as possible and at the same time obtain as much support as possible from important officials in the DPRK and China.

In order to help the fourth prince fight for the throne, Li Nuo's main work must also revolve around these things.

On the surface, it would be easier to succeed by helping the other three princes of Zhao.

But precisely because the fourth prince is at a disadvantage, once he successfully ascends the throne, the benefits derived from him will be greater.

Li Nuo looked at the sixth princess of Zhao Kingdom and said, "I will do my best."

Zhao Zhiyi saluted him and said, "Please, Mr. Li."

After seeing her off, Li Nuo returned to the room and continued to play chess with her.

Li Nuo pretended not to notice the two chess pieces she secretly moved.

There is a bet when the two play chess. If she loses a game, she has to wash Li Nuo's feet. If Li Nuo loses a game, he has to wash her feet. Li Nuo feels that he has not lost anything, so it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses. .

Of course, Li Nuo lost this round as expected.

Song Yiren happily added another stroke to the small book in front of her.

Although she was on the boat these days and couldn't go anywhere, she didn't feel bored.

She even occasionally thinks that it would be nice if she never went back...

Seeing that she had not moved for a long time, Li Nuo looked up and saw that she was holding the chess pieces with a smile on her pretty face. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but she lightly knocked on the table and said, "It's your turn..."

…

Early the next morning, the group finally arrived at the capital of Zhao.

They were greeted by officials from Zhao Guo Honglu Temple.

Many countries on the mainland are similar in the general structure of the court. The central official system is three provinces and six ministries. There may be some differences only in subtleties.

Including Li Nuo, Daxia sent a total of fifteen envoys this time.

They are mainly responsible for conveying news between the two courts and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of Daxia citizens in Zhao. If some Daxia businessmen encounter any problems in Zhao, they can also approach envoys to solve them.

Of course, this is based on the friendly relationship between Daxia and Zhao.

In addition to secretly collecting intelligence about relevant countries, embassies in some countries also conduct some covert espionage activities.

Fifteen envoys were arranged in special embassies.

After all, this is not Daxia, and the conditions of the embassy are limited. Each envoy can only be guaranteed a room. If you have a wife, you can apply for a small courtyard.

Except for Li Nuo, none of the envoys were accompanied by women.

Although the imperial court allowed wives to be brought along on missions, many envoys regarded this mission as a rare opportunity for indulgence and were naturally unwilling to be restrained.

An official from Zhao Guohonglu Temple took Li Nuo and Song Yiren to a small courtyard and said, "Sir and madam, this is your residence. If you need anything else, just ask and we will help you as soon as possible." You add..."

He looked at the young man and woman and couldn't help but sigh.

After all, they are a young couple, and their relationship is good. This gentleman even takes his wife with him when he is on an envoy.

The middle-aged officials had just put down their luggage and went out to have fun together.

Li Nuo did not correct the official's title. He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, sir. If you need anything, I will apply to the embassy."

He had worked as an errand at Honglu Temple and knew these procedures very well.

The official cupped his hands and said, "This place has been cleaned. You two have had a long journey and have a good rest. I won't disturb you anymore..."

Song Yiren glanced at Li Nuo secretly, muttering secretly in her heart, that person just thought she was his wife, why didn't he explain?

Li Nuo noticed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong? Do you think this place is too small? This is not Chang'an. It can't be like home. During this period, we can only make do with it."

This courtyard is indeed very small, less than one third of the courtyard where she lived in Chang'an.

But compared to the envoys who live in the same courtyard, having a separate small courtyard is already very good.

Song Yiren walked straight into the room without saying anything.

After looking around, the expression on her face was startled.

Then, she turned to look at Li Nuo and asked, "Why is there only one room?"

Li Nuo said: "This place is for couples. Whose couple sleeps in two rooms?"

Song Yiren looked at Li Nuo and said, "You and Song Jiaren."

Li Nuo waved his hand and said, "It doesn't count at that time."

Song Yiren no longer struggled with this problem, looked at Li Nuo with some confusion, and asked: "What should we do now?"

You can't sleep in the same bed with him, right?

Li Nuo thought for a while and said: "This room is not small. I will ask them to bring another bed later and block it with a screen in the middle. Is that okay?"

This cannot be blamed on the envoys of Zhao State. After all, they may not have thought that someone would go to other countries as an envoy without a wife or a sister-in-law.

Song Yiren was stunned when she heard this.

Isn't this still in the same room?

Thinking of what Fenghuang said before leaving, Song Yiren lowered her head and said, "Well, then..."

Then, she added: "That's good. Even if you encounter any danger, I can protect you as soon as possible... Well, that's it."

After convincing herself, she didn't feel anything.

Although the officials of Zhao Guohonglu Temple didn't know why the couple wanted two beds, there was no need to inquire into the root cause of such a small request. They arranged for someone to handle it as soon as possible. As for the screen, they also had someone buy it back.

Li Nuo quickly decorated the room.

His bed is on the left, and Yiren's bed is on the right. A few steps in front of Yiren's bed, there is a screen, which just blocks her bed.

Li Nuo moved his desk in front of his bed, forming two independent private spaces.

After a long journey, he soon felt tired after doing all this. Through the window, he glanced at Yiren who was practicing swordsmanship outside. He lay on the bed peacefully and fell asleep soon...

After a while, Song Yiren walked into the room and was about to speak when she saw Li Nuo sleeping soundly on the bed. She swallowed back what she was about to say and walked to the bed softly.

She stood next to Li Nuo and just looked at him.

A smile appeared on her face.

The husband you choose will look good no matter how you look at it.

Song Jia and Li Anning were thousands of miles away, so there was no need to worry about them suddenly breaking in. She looked at the sleeping Li Nuo, and a thought suddenly came to her mind.

Kiss.

Just for a moment.

My husband-in-law, what’s wrong with kissing me...
