Chapter 188
After the palace banquet, officials from the Honglu Temple would take the envoys from various countries on a tour around Kyoto, or arrange various banquets and banquets at the post stations to entertain them.
After Pei Yi and Qin Baiwei's wedding, Emperor Jingde gave him a few days of wedding leave.
In the past few days, he stayed in Tingxueju Courtyard every day in Prince Yan's Mansion, playing chess and chatting with Xie Zhichan, or playing Landlord with Xie Zhichan, and even learned how to kill Werewolf.
Xie Zhichan regrets that the next generation of electronic games, one of the greatest benefits for otakus, cannot be brought to this world to allow Pei Yi to broaden his horizons.
Although Qin Baiwei also stayed in Prince Yan's Mansion every day, Pei Yi had never been to Baizhi Courtyard.
Qin Baiwei had never asked anyone to invite Pei Yi. She spent every day in Baizhi Courtyard, reading medical books to pass the time.
Occasionally, when she felt dazzled by reading medical books, she would feel that she had built a cage for herself. She locked herself in this cage, and all she could see were the grass and trees, the mountains and stones in Baizhi Courtyard, but not the person she loved.
Even the servants in Prince Yan's Mansion knew that the prince never went to Baizhiyuan. Even though the marriage was granted by the emperor and she was a co-wife, Baizhiyuan was actually in Prince Yan's Mansion, just like the cold palace in the imperial palace.
Since he was a person forgotten in a corner by the future master of Prince Yan's Mansion, the servants felt that there was no need to take extra care of him.
Sometimes Gan Cao was so angry that she wanted to argue with the servants, but Qin Baiwei stopped her and said, "The point is not about these servants, but about the attitude of the master of this palace towards me."
Gan Cao was worried about her young lady and said, "Young lady, at least your marriage to the prince was granted by the emperor. No matter what, the prince should consummate the marriage with you. The prince's wife has been married to the Prince of Yan's mansion for quite some time, and there is no news of pregnancy. If you can give birth to a little master before her, will those servants still dare to be disrespectful to you?"
Qin Baiwei just stood quietly in her courtyard wall, looking in the direction of Tingxueju, and seemed to be talking to herself: "The only thing that can make people bow their heads in this world is power. When others ignore you, it's just because your power is not strong enough. But it doesn't matter, one day he will see me."
Pei Yi only sent people to keep an eye on Baizhi Courtyard, but he never cared about what was happening in Baizhi Courtyard.
He and Xie Zhichan really just treated the Prince of Yan's Mansion as if there was just an extra stone lion, and just lived their own lives in Tingxue Residence.
On this day, Xie Zhichan was checking the various account books of the two people's properties in Pei Yi's study, while Pei Yi was flipping through a military book on the side.
The charcoal fire in the house was burning brightly.
After entering winter, the weather becomes colder day by day, and the tea cools down quickly.
Xiao Liuer saw that the tea in the room had gotten cold, and went to bring back a pot of hot tea.
As soon as she left, Dan Feng hurriedly walked into the study.
"Master, Dan Feng has something important to report."
Pei Yi saw his expression and knew that there must be something important, so he said, "Go ahead."
Now, Dan Feng also knew that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were married, so there was no need to hide anything from the Crown Princess, so he said, "The Tubo prince failed to propose to the Gaoche Princess at the palace banquet, so he wanted to propose to the Gaoche King after the matter was settled."
Pei Yi frowned after hearing this. Tubo borders Nanzhao to the south and Gaoche to the north. If they form an alliance with Gaoche and win over Rouran, which borders Gaoche to the north, and the three kingdoms invade Jin together, the west of Jin will be in danger.
These three countries have always been on good terms with the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty did not deploy heavy troops on the borders of these three countries. Once any changes occur, the soldiers in southern Yunnan can only go north to defend. However, once a large number of soldiers in southern Yunnan are transferred away, the barbarian tribes and Nanzhao will probably be ready to move.
Dan Feng did not think as deeply as Pei Yi did. The reason why he came to report the news immediately was only because Princess Gaoche was still in the territory of Dajin. If something happened in Dajin, Gaoche might blame Dajin for her dissatisfaction.
Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi thought of the same thing and said, "The northern border is already unstable. If Gaoche, Rouran, and Tubo are united, once there is unrest in the northern border, the Jin Dynasty will probably be caught in a dilemma."
Pei Yi nodded and said to Dan Feng, "Send someone to keep an eye on the Tubo prince and don't let him accomplish this. By the way, let Princess Gaoche know how much the Tubo prince wants to fall at her feet."
Xiao Liu'er came back with the tea and happened to hear Dan Feng's voice outside the door. She paused and stood outside the door. After everyone in the room had discussed it, she walked into the study with the tray.
He put the tray on the high coffee table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Zhichan, but he was thinking in his heart: How can I convey this news to my brother?
In the evening, Danfeng came to Tingxueju again.
Pei Yi asked him, "Has the Tubo prince's dream been ruined?"
Dan Feng nodded and shook his head.
Xie Zhichan said with a smile: "Is this a failure or not?"
Dan Feng touched his head and said, "The matter was ruined, but it was not caused by us. I was a step too late, and a foreign prince rescued Princess Gaoche."
Pei Yi asked Dan Feng, "Have you found out who that foreign gentleman is?"
Dan Feng shook his head and said, "I haven't found out yet. But judging by his earrings, he looks like a Rouran."
Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan looked at each other, wondering why the Rouran people suddenly got involved in this matter.
Xie Zhichan thought for a moment and said, "Ruoran borders Gaoche. Perhaps they don't want Gaoche to form an alliance with Tubo. Otherwise, the border will be dangerous for Rouran."
Pei Yi nodded: "I hope so."
-
In a very ordinary farmer's home in Kyoto, Princess Gaoche sat weakly on a chair, looking at the person in front of her and said, "Who are you? What do you want to do to me?"
Amugu took off the veil on his face, bowed to Princess Wuya, and said, "I am Prince Amugu of Rouran. Princess Wuya should have seen me."
Princess Wuya finally saw the man in front of her clearly and said angrily, "My Gaoche is adjacent to your Rouran. If you do anything to me, the soldiers of Gaoche will definitely cross the border of Rouran to avenge their princess!"
Seeing Princess Wuya getting angry, Amugu's face that had always given people a sense of arrogance suddenly became more lively, and she explained: "Princess, you misunderstood. The person who wanted to do bad things to you was the Tubo prince. The reason you feel weak now is because you were poisoned by the cartilage powder. The Tubo prince wanted to take this opportunity to make a fait accompli with you and then propose to the King of Gaoche."
After hearing Amugu's account of the Tubo prince's plan, Princess Uya was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and cursed, "This Songtsen is really not worthy of being on the stage!"
But she could only curse like this. Her mother was born ordinary. Although she was beautiful, she was not favored by her father in Gaoche. She was just one of his many daughters.
This time, she followed the envoy to Da Jin in order to choose a suitable husband for herself through marriage, so as to avoid the fate of being sent away for marriage by her father at will.
She looked at the handsome man in front of her and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
"Are you the son of the former king of Rouran? I have heard of you. You are good at archery and horsemanship."
Amugu was suddenly praised by the beautiful princess in front of him. He felt a little embarrassed. Thinking of his sister's suggestion that he should win over the Gaoche princess, he said, "I heard that the princess is also good at riding, archery and horsemanship. If the princess is interested, I would like to exchange ideas with her."
Little did she know that this was exactly what Princess Wuya wanted. She immediately nodded and said to Amugu, "Wuya is always waiting for Prince Amugu's advice."
