Make peace with the Lord of the Prairie

The next day, while Ming Heng was still sleeping, the door of the bedroom was knocked hastily by the waiter.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Something has happened! Something has happened!" Little Fan had never lost his composure like this, and the panic in his voice could be clearly heard through the wooden door.

Ming Heng woke up all of a sudden, hurriedly put on his clothes and sat up, and asked loudly towards the door: "What's going on? You're in such a panic."

The little fan said something about the servant coming in, pushed open the door, walked quickly to the front, and said to Ming Heng with a serious face: "Your Highness, something happened, something big happened!"

Ming Heng rubbed his painful head, and said helplessly: "I know something happened, but you just tell me what happened, maybe I have to guess by myself?"

"Oh, that's right, it's my servant's negligence," the little fan slammed on his head, forcing himself to calm down, "Your Highness, this servant just heard from the little eunuch who served in the Qinghe Palace last night that the queen of the wind banquet yesterday Halfway through, Yerou's envoy said something in front of civil and military officials."

As soon as he heard that it was about the envoy, Ming Heng didn't care about the headache, and hurriedly asked: "What are you talking about?"

The little fan said: "The envoy Ye Ruo threatened in the hall that they are here for nothing but to make them sweat and get married!"

"Marriage!" Mingheng was startled. He didn't expect that the joke with Guan Ze at that time would actually come true. Thinking of the conversation with Guan Ze that day, he hurriedly asked, "Who is the choice for the marriage? They have say?"

The little fan shook his head, drooping his brows, his face was almost wrinkled, and said worriedly: "After the envoy Ye Ruo proposed a marriage proposal, His Majesty's complexion suddenly changed, and all the officials were dismissed immediately. Leaving Prime Minister Wei and Duke Wei behind, they moved to the Imperial Study Room for a detailed discussion with the envoys. It has been a whole night and they haven't come out yet. His Majesty ordered the rest not to trespass without authorization, so no one knows Who is the concubine that the king is looking for, but people in the palace are spreading rumors that it is nine out of ten princesses."

Ming Heng raised his heart suddenly: "Aren't you still discussing in detail, why are you so sure?"

The little fan told him: "Your Highness doesn't know something. It is said that the envoy Ye Rou bluntly said at that time that he would marry the Qin and Jin Dynasties with the Anling royal family. Your Highness, don't you think that the nine princesses are the only women of the right age in the royal family? Isn't she still the one?" who?"

What I was most worried about finally happened.Mingheng's heart was extremely heavy at the moment: "Does Qianqian know about this?"

The little fan frowned and said worriedly: "The news of the marriage has spread in the palace early in the morning, and the ninth princess may have heard of it."

Ming Heng couldn't sit still any longer, hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and ordered loudly: "Changing clothes for me, I'm going to Qianqian's place."

"Yes." The little fan hastily called the palace servants to wait for Ming Heng to change and wash.

Ming Heng didn't even care about having breakfast, and after washing up, he rushed to Wanxiu Palace where his sister lived.However, as soon as one foot stepped out of the gate of the Chonghua Palace, he saw Ming Qianqian in a crimson light gauze skirt running towards him from a distance, crying as she ran, her beautiful little face was already crying up.Behind her were seven or eight palace maids chasing after her.

"Qianqian!" Ming Heng became nervous immediately, and hurried over to support his sister, "Qianqian, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"Brother, brother." When Ming Qianqian saw Ming Heng, it was as if he had seen a savior. He hugged his brother and cried loudly, crying and shouting, "Brother, help me, I don't want to hug me, woo woo, I Don't go to that place."

Mingheng was so distressed that he hugged his younger sister and kept coaxing: "Okay, okay, let's not rub, brother will definitely not let you go to that kind of place. Be good Qianqian, don't cry now, okay? Go back to wash with brother first. Look at your face, you look like a little cat. Qianqian is not afraid, we are not going anywhere."

Under Ming Heng's patient persuasion, Ming Qianqian's crying gradually subsided, and in the end she was just sobbing softly.She came out of Ming Heng's arms, and asked Ming Heng twitchingly with her swollen walnut eyes: "Really? Can you really not go anywhere?"

"Really." Ming Heng just wanted to let his sister calm down first, so he didn't care about whether she was lying or not.

Fortunately, Ming Qianqian believed his words for the time being, finally stopped crying, and was brought back to Chonghua Palace by Ming Heng.

Ming Qianqian was brought into Mingheng's bedroom to freshen up and dress up, and the little cat returned to its clean and beautiful appearance.Mingheng brought some cakes that she liked for her younger sister, and ate them with her.

Ming Qianqian took a bite of the walnut cake, sniffed her nose, and asked Ming Heng in a hoarse voice from crying: "Brother, have you heard about Ye Ruo's marriage?"

Mingheng nodded, reached out his hand to wipe the pastry crumbs from the corner of his sister's mouth, and said, "The little fan came to tell me early in the morning."

Ming Qianqian's eyes turned red when he mentioned the marriage, but he tried not to cry again: "Brother, do you think the father will agree to their request? Am I really going to make a marriage?"

"What are you thinking?" Mingheng comforted, "Father and the others are still discussing in the imperial study room? It is not certain whether the marriage will be successful. Besides, even if the father really agrees to the marriage, whoever tells you must be." is you?"

Ming Qianqian pursed her mouth, looking at Ming Heng whether she wanted to cry or not: "I'm the only girl in the harem, who else would it be?"

Ming Heng hesitated to speak, but in fact he knew very well in his heart that if he got married, he would be his younger sister if nothing else happened.But the person in front of him is his dearest sister, how can he bear to use this cruel fact to hurt her again, so he can only insist: "Everything is not yet settled, there is still a chance to turn around. Father loves you so much, you must not I have the heart to send you so far away."

This is Ming Heng's heart.Now he can only pin his hopes on his father.Father loves Jiu'er so much, how can he be willing to let his only daughter jump into the fire pit.

Ming Heng finally appeased Ming Qianqian for the time being, sent him back to Wanxiu Palace, and told the palace servants around his sister not to mention marriage in front of her.After finishing all this, he left Wanxiu Palace with peace of mind.However, just as he returned to Chonghua Palace, the little fan who was sent to inquire about the news also came back, and his face was even uglier than this morning.

Mingheng's heart sank, he already had a bad premonition, and asked in a deep voice, "How's the situation?"

The little fan said with a serious expression: "The envoy Ye Ruo has already left the palace. When he left, his face was full of joy, and he was still muttering that he must hurry up and prepare ten thousand horses."

Thousands of good horses are the dowry gift for Ye Ruo's marriage, and they are all starting to prepare for the dowry gift. Could it be...

"Father agreed to marry?!" Ming Heng asked in disbelief.

"It seems not yet." The little fan replied, "Your Majesty does not allow anyone to enter the imperial study, and even Eunuch Yuan can only guard outside, so no one knows what is going on now. But listen to send the two envoys to leave the palace The eunuch Shuangxi said that the two envoys talked about His Majesty on the way, and it seems that His Majesty is still considering the marriage, but from their tone, it seems that His Majesty will finally agree."

Ming Heng stood up abruptly, and strode out.

The little fan hurriedly followed: "Your Highness, where are you going?"

"The Royal Study Room!"

When Ming Heng came to the imperial study room, Yuan Xi, the chief servant, was still guarding the door, seeing him hurriedly saluted and said hello: "I have seen His Royal Highness Hui Wang."

Ming Heng omitted Xu and Wei Snake, and asked straight to the point: "Grandpa Yuan, is Emperor Father in there?"

"Here." Yuan Xi replied, "Your Majesty talked with Ye Ruo's envoy all night yesterday, and he hasn't come out yet."

Ming Heng said: "Then I would like to trouble Eunuch Yuan to go in and tell him that Ming Heng has something to ask to see his father."

"This..." Yuan Xi hesitated, glanced at the closed door, pulled Ming Heng aside, and said in a low voice, "If your Highness is not in a hurry, please come back another day. Your Majesty is currently worried about getting married. It's better not to disturb."

"I just came here for a temporary kiss." Ming Heng said firmly.Seeing that Yuanxi was hesitant and was about to announce himself, he heard the voice of Emperor Qianyuan coming from the study.

"It's Mingheng, come in and talk."

Ming Heng happily responded and pushed the door open to go in.

In the imperial study room, Prime Minister Wei and Duke Wei had already left, and only Emperor Qianyuan was sitting behind the imperial case, browsing a map of Anling with a solemn face.

Mingheng walked to the center of the study room, lifted his robe and knelt in front of Emperor Qianyuan: "I see my father."

"Get up." Emperor Qianyuan raised his head, shifted his gaze from the map to Mingheng, and asked slowly, "You came here for the marriage, right?"

Mingheng nodded, and asked tentatively: "I heard that Ye Ruo's mission this time is to make peace with our Anling royal family. I wonder who is the princess they chose for marriage?"

Emperor Qianyuan leaned lazily on the dragon chair, and asked, "Who do you think? How many princesses do we have in the Ming family?"

Ming Heng sighed heavily in his heart, and suddenly knelt down again: "Father, An Ling and Ye Ruan have a complicated relationship. They are both enemies and friends. It is a risky marriage. Besides, Xiao Jiu is still young and the only one in the royal family. Princess, do you have the heart to send her to the tiger's mouth?"

Ming Heng was afraid that his sister would really be sent to make love, so he was a little impulsive when he was worried, and he realized his mistake after he finished speaking: "I have made a slip of the tongue, please punish me."

Unexpectedly, instead of getting angry, Emperor Qianyuan chuckled three times, and said unhurriedly: "Forget it, I know you are worried about my sister, so get up first."

"Thank you for your kindness." Ming Heng calmed down and stood up again.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Qianyuan asked: "You don't want Xiao Jiu to get married?"

"I don't want to." Ming Heng replied truthfully, then paused after speaking, and added, "Sending Xiao Jiu to Ye Ruo for a kiss is to send her to death!"

Emperor Qianyuan laughed and said, "Why do you say Yerou is like a wolf's den?"

Isn't it the den of wolves and tigers?Ming Heng answered in his heart like this, but on the face he said cautiously: "Ye Ruo is very different from our Anling in terms of diet, daily life and folk customs. If it had been in the past, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to get used to it. Besides, I’ve heard that Tuobahong is unpredictable and cruel. Xiaojiu is used to self-willedness. If a momentary slip of the tongue annoys Tuobahong, wouldn’t he become a fish on the sword? Please think twice Ah. Xiaojiu, she really can't go for a kiss."

Ming Heng spoke earnestly, his eyes flushed with worry when he thought of the fate of his younger sister's marriage, and he said desperately: "As long as the father does not let Xiao Jiu go to marry, I am willing to do anything!"

After a long time, Emperor Qianyuan spoke again: "Are you really willing to do anything?"

"My son is willing!"

"What if I let you replace Xiao Jiu to get married?"

"What!" Ming Heng raised his head suddenly.

Emperor Qianyuan looked at him with a complicated expression, and sighed: "Tuobahong is looking at you."
