Steel Dynasty - Chapter 619

[Chapter 618 Gradual state of mind]

“Your Highness, it’s been more than a month.”

Fei Yue’er lowered her head shyly, with a touch of happiness in her eyes.

The melancholy in his heart was dispersed by the excitement of Xidezi. Xiao Ming took Fei Yue’er’s hand and said, “Don’t do anything during this period, just take care of yourself. Xiaohuan, now that the princess is pregnant, you have to “Take care of me carefully.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Xiao Huan saluted.

Fei Yue’er had vomiting reaction six days ago. After the diagnosis, the imperial doctor congratulated Fei Yue’er on her pregnancy. After receiving the news, Fei Yue’er and Xiao Huan were extremely happy.

It has been almost two years since Fei Yue’er entered the palace. Although Fei Yue’er didn’t say it on the surface, she was always anxious in her heart.

From the day she married Xiao Ming, she was no longer the carefree Fei Yue’er, but Princess Qi. She would even become the empress of the world in the future, and it would be terrible to have no heirs in a harem where mother and son are the most important thing. of.

After all, she understood that as an emperor, Xiao Ming could not only have her in the harem. Even for political marriages, new people would be added to the harem. Which emperor in the past dynasties was not like this?

Xiao Ming didn’t understand what Fei Yue’er was thinking. Now that the world was uncertain, he didn’t have much time to waste on the love between his children.

It’s just that Fei Yue’er is pregnant now, and as a father, he also needs to fulfill his responsibilities as a father. Seeing that it was getting late, he went directly to accompany Fei Yue’er to the dormitory.

In the dormitory, Xiao Ming and Fei Yue’er were talking and laughing, and they also shared everything they had seen and heard in the Three Mountain Kingdom. When he mentioned that the Three Mountain Kings were interested in getting married, Fei Yue’er became obviously nervous.

However, she was relieved when he said that he would betroth this girl to the Ninth Prince Xiao Ziyan.

Fei Yue’er’s look made Xiao Ming laugh. In his opinion, no matter how men were superior to women in ancient times, women still wanted to be pampered.

“Zi Yan is now sixteen years old, and it’s time to choose a princess.” Fei Yue’er said.

According to seniority, Xiao Ziyan was called cousin Fei Yue’er, but he was actually his younger brother. Among the many princes, Xiao Ming was the only one he could trust.

After all, Xiao Ziyan has both royal blood and Fijian blood. It would be worthy of him to marry the daughter of the Three Mountain Kings as his concubine. After all, the Mountain King is just a small place, and now he only needs the stability of the island.

Speaking of Xiao Ziyan, Xiao Ming asked: “By the way, what has Ziyan been doing recently?” Xiao Ming asked.

Xiao Ziyan and his mother-in-law came to Qingzhou together after the last visit to Chang’an. After the first day of meeting, he rarely saw Xiao Ziyan.

“Your Highness is such a noble person and forgets things. When he arranged for a group of Chang’an officials to study at Bowen College, didn’t His Highness arrange for him to join them? Now he is studying at Bowen College.”

“What are you studying?” Xiao Ming said habitually asked.

He didn’t think so before, but since Xiao Wenxuan gave him the seat, he has begun to instinctively pay attention to the Chang’an nobles in Qingzhou. Among them, he is most concerned about these young princes.

After all, in the royal family where blood is supreme, any prince may be His rival for power.

Fortunately, after the Chang’an Rebellion, these princes lost their shelter and posed no threat to him because they did not have an army. But in other words, he needed these princes again, such as for marriage. .

Fei Yue’er’s eyes flickered, and she said carefully: “Zi Yan has no ambitions. He just reads some navigation books.”

“Oh? Is he very interested in navigation?”

Xiao Ming said, not knowing why he Suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief. If Fei Yue’er said that Xiao Ziyan was studying government affairs and military affairs, he would definitely have some thoughts in his mind.

“He has always been interested in anything for only two or three days. My aunt said that he might not have any future prospects,” Fei Yue’er said.

Xiao Ming nodded. He understood the meaning of Fei Yue’er’s words. They were protecting Xiao Ziyan, and they were afraid that Xiao Ming would kill Xiao Ziyan if he was found guilty.

After all, the current chaos in the Chongqing Kingdom is caused by the prince’s fight for the throne. If it were not for the prince’s regicide, such a situation would not have happened in the Chongqing Kingdom. Now an adult prince is right under Xiao Ming’s nose. With the power of the officials of the Chongqing Kingdom, The idea must be to keep an eye on this prince.

“Princess, don’t be nervous, I’m just asking casually.” Xiao Ming said, knowing that his words and deeds will be judged by others.

Fei Yue’er felt relieved. Xiao Ziyan was his cousin after all, and the two had a very good personal relationship. She couldn’t bear to see the two brothers fighting each other.

After a pause, Xiao Ming continued: “Tomorrow, the king will go to see him. By the way, let me tell you about the marriage. The daughter of the Three Mountain Kings has arrived in Qingzhou with me. It is time to get married earlier. In this way, the Three Mountain Kings The envoy can go back to deliver the message. “

“Well, if His Highness finds it inconvenient, I can persuade him,” Fei Yue’er said.

“In this case, let him have a meal at the palace tomorrow.”

…

While the two were talking, Pang Yukun had also arranged for the envoys of the three kings to rest in the Wei family restaurant. Since it is a drag, it means it is delicious. Drink and serve.

After drinking for three rounds, the three kings’ envoys went upstairs. After Pang Yukun left, the other two people came out of the room and went to the third person’s room.

“Wang Shilang, you should make up your mind. Our informant clearly said that King Qi is back, but Pang Yukun refuses to admit it. Isn’t it clear that he is holding us back?”

This time, it was still Wang Xi who was sent by King Zhao. The person sent by King Yan is still Cui Zhang, and the person sent by King Liang has not changed either.

Wang Xi frowned and said, “You are right. Pang Yukun is deliberately holding us back. In this case, King Qi must be unwilling to hand over the thirteen states of Wei.”

“Does this need to be said? Is there any reason to spit out what is eaten in the mouth? Wang Shilang, Crown Prince, I think we should not waste time, just go back and prepare for war.” The envoy of King Zhao said.

Cui Zhang clapped his hands and said, “That’s what I mean. Wei is not yet settled, and King Qi’s army cannot be mobilized back from Wei in time. It is most appropriate to attack Yunzhou directly at this time.”

Wang Xi was a little concerned. Now Zhao The king’s army was still fighting fiercely with the army of the king of Shu. At this time, the army could not be mobilized, and the king of Zhao knew very well that even if Xiao Ming was forced to withdraw from Wei, the one who would benefit the most would be the king of Yan.

The most important thing is that their spies learned that King Yan also mastered the technology of making matchlock guns. In addition, King Yan has always been known as a wise king in the vassal state. In King Zhao’s view, King Yan’s threat is no worse than Xiao Ming.

Moreover, King Yan’s fiefdom is the closest to Chang’an, so it would be troublesome if King Yan stabbed him in the back.
