Will succeed

"Your Majesty's words are serious. Since this matter was fabricated by outsiders, Xia Houyu will naturally not believe it anymore."

The emperor nodded, feeling very pleased with Xia Houyu's understanding.At the same time, he gave Li Jue a nonchalant look, as if to say that he caused the incident, and now that he lied for him, he must show something afterwards.

However, Li Jue pretended not to see it at all, and he was still the same, so angry that the emperor immediately turned cold.

"Xia Houyu came to Later Tang this time because of the eternal friendship between Later Tang and Da Xia."

After going around and around, Xia Houyu finally got down to business.

The emperor glanced at Xia Houyue who was standing quietly in the hall, and replied, "I don't know how Prince Xiahou wants to make friends with me in the later Tang Dynasty?"

Xia Houyu heard the words, smiled slightly, made a gesture, and then Xia Houyue took a step forward.Xia Houyu pointed at Xia Houyue and said: "As the Holy Majesty has seen, my sister Xia Houyue has reached the age of marriage. For the good of our two countries to marry Qin and Jin forever, I, Da Xia, would like to send Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to the Later Tang Dynasty for marriage."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, Xia Houyu's words made him feel very embarrassed, do I need it urgently if you send it?

With a sneer, the emperor made a hesitant expression: "Alas! I am dissatisfied with Prince Xiahou. My post-Tang prince is full of concubines and concubines. Although Prince Shu has no concubine, he has concubines before the princess. King Qi is also a concubine. Yes, there is only one King Ji...he has not accepted a concubine yet, but he has a confidante. In such a situation, how can I wrong the noble princess of Da Xia?"

Xia Houyu's face changed slightly. If the emperor didn't show him any face, there was a limit to how he could bear it any longer.

"The Holy Majesty is overthinking. Yue'er came here this time to find a good son-in-law who is worthy of entrusting him for life. Yue'er has the final say on the final outcome. If Yue'er likes it, I, Da Xia, will definitely not stop it, no matter what. How many people are there, I believe that Yue'er will not regret it, let alone talk about grievances?" After Xia Houyu said, he looked at Xia Houyue tenderly, seeing the expression, as if he loved her extremely.

"Oh? So that's the case! Then I wonder if the eldest princess has a suitable candidate in mind?"

Xia Houyue raised her head, looked at the emperor on the dragon chair, and there was no emotion in her eyes: "Yue'er has little knowledge, so she doesn't know the style and appearance of the later Tang prince and other princes, so I can't tell who she falls in love with."

"Then I will hold a family banquet in the evening, how about inviting the princess to see me?"

What the emperor said clearly put Later Tang at a disadvantage, but he actually said that Princess Daxia had no sense of shame, and when she came to Houtang and her relatives, she had to visit her husband and son-in-law in person, which made Daxia lose face for nothing.

However, since it was Da Xia who proposed the marriage, why did they care about this little humiliation?

A man can bend and stretch, can become a superior person, and his determination must be different from others, so he knows how to advance and retreat better.Anyway, it wasn't any real harm, and Hou Tang was just trying to talk fast, without any benefit.

Therefore, Xia Houyu talked and laughed as usual: "It's rare for the sage to think about Yue'er's life. Xia Houyu is here to thank the sage."

The emperor laughed, and his dissatisfaction with Li Jue seemed to disappear at this moment: "Haha! Since Prince Xiahou said so, then the matter is settled. Please go to the posthouse to rest first. At dusk, I will We will send someone to pick up the prince and princess, and then we will discuss the marriage together."

Xia Houyu cupped his hands in thanks and said, "That's very good, then Xia Houyu will leave first."

……

At the end of the court meeting, before leaving, the emperor still gave Li Jue a hard look, but Li Jue turned a deaf ear to it.In the palace, Li Jue didn't say a word, and others couldn't see his attitude towards this matter, so they didn't know whether Li Jue planned to marry the Great Xia Princess.

"Brother, stay here."

Just as he was reaching the gate of the palace, Li Jue was stopped by a voice. Looking back, it was Li Xi who was calling him from behind, accompanied by King Qi Li Qi.

"Prince Shu, what's the matter?"

Li Jue's alienated tone made Li Xi feel a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do about it: "Brother Huang must have understood the purpose of Da Xia's visit this morning, I wonder what Brother Huang thinks about this?"

"Father also said that I have all the main concubines and side concubines. If the princess marries me, I'm afraid she will be wronged."

Speaking of this, King Qi was dissatisfied first: "How does the prince know that the princess will fall in love with you? Just now in the hall, Prince Xiahou said clearly that this matter must follow the princess's wishes. Not to mention whether the princess falls in love with you, Even if you fall in love, I'm afraid you won't be able to tolerate it."

"King Qi is right. I think King Qi is determined to win the princess!"

Li Qi didn't answer, but it was not difficult to see from his expression that he thought so too.This slapped him in the face, he just said that everything depends on Xia Houyue's will, but now he is complacent about himself, thinking that he is that lovely husband-in-law.He didn't even think about it, the princess hadn't seen him from the beginning to the end, so she probably didn't know who he was at all.

Seeing such a stupid King Qi, Li Xi felt very uncomfortable.

Even so, King Qi is still standing in his camp, and Li Xi can't ignore him: "Brother Huang, you are joking, the princess is as beautiful as a flower, and her voice is as clear as a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, and it is clear and moving. It is not because of this that King Qi loves the princess." It’s unreasonable, it’s just that you must be sure to get it, so you have to be careful!”

Li Qi's complacent expression froze on his face after Li Xi finished speaking. What he was thinking at this moment was not that Li Xi explained his speech mistakes for him, but that Li Xi also wanted to marry the princess.Therefore, Li Qi's face became gloomy.

I wonder if Li Xi would regret having such a stupid ally if he knew what Li Qi was thinking now.

Seeing Li Qi's expression, Li Jue knew that what he had said just now had worked, so he stopped talking to Li Xiduo immediately, took his leave and went back home.

When he returned home this time, the first thing Li Jue did was to find Fu Li.

He looked at Fu Li standing in the center, without any sharp edges, Fu Li hid all his sharpness and emotions in his heart.Li Jue couldn't help hesitating, whether he really wanted to tell Fu Li the news of Da Xia's arrival.

Because he knew Fu Li's hatred for Daxia people in his heart, Li Jue canceled all the tasks assigned to her a few days ago, and ordered her to practice martial arts and read books in the mansion these days.

And Li Jue, a servant of the Prince's Mansion, has already explained that no one is allowed to mention this matter in front of Fu Li.

Therefore, Fu Li doesn't know that Daxia is coming.She only thought that Li Jue called her here, perhaps because she had a new mission, or even asked her to carry out the mission mentioned a few days ago, and didn't think about other things.

"I've seen His Highness, but I don't know His Highness looking for his subordinates, what is the so-called?"

Fu Li's cold face kept Li Jue from saying anything, but he knew that Fu Li would find out one day, so he didn't hesitate anymore, and asked tentatively, "I know you have some complaints about Da Xia. Xia Lai is an envoy to the later Tang Dynasty, what if it is inappropriate?"

Fu Li was stunned, she hadn't heard the word Daxia for a long time, since Fu Qingshi's death...

Involuntarily, she seemed to see Tianque's blood sprinkled all over the city, and the fiery red color seemed to be right in front of her eyes.

She seemed to see the resolute man, polishing the silver gun and stroking the tassel on it.His eyes were sharp, and he scanned the map of mountains and rivers, his eyes were full of irresistible sharpness.

She seemed to hear his commanding voice calmly, and saw his figure fighting the enemy bravely on the battlefield.

Don't fall down until the last moment!

Fu Li vaguely remembered that these were the last words he said to her ten years ago when he was sent away by Tianque.

However, he fell down, leaving her to live alone in this world of intrigue and deceit, and she was not safe.

Tears, can no longer hold back.At this moment, Fu Li squatted on the ground, crying bitterly.She didn't know why Li Jue brought up Daxia, at this moment, her mind was full of the man who had promised her his whole life, and his eyes full of blood!

Li Jue was at a loss, no one had ever cried so presumptuously in front of him.Without any pretentiousness, he could even feel Fu Li's heart-piercing pain at the moment.

For the first time, Li Jue regretted it a little.

After a long while, Xu Shi finally realized his gaffe, Fu Li changed his knees to kneeling, and numbly wiped away his tears.Perhaps it was an illusion, Li Jue felt that Fu Li was getting further away from him.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for the crime of rudeness!"

After finishing speaking, he knocked his head on the ground with a heavy bang.With just one click, Fu Li's forehead turned red.

Li Jue wanted to help her up, but the alienation in Fu Li's eyes blocked Li Jue's urge to get up. He could only love her silently in his heart.

Li Jue tried his best to make his voice sound stable. He heard about Fu Li and Fu Qingshi from Mu Xi. In order for Fu Li not to be sad, Li Jue planned not to talk about it anymore. Li Jue was shocked.

"I heard that an envoy from Great Xia came to my later Tang Dynasty, and my subordinate has an unfeeling request, and I hope His Highness will fulfill it!"

Li Jue was puzzled, and secretly scolded the person who told Fu Li about this: "How...how did you know?"

There were no tears on Fu Li's face. At this moment, her scars actually made Li Jue feel terrified: "Your Highness, there is no impenetrable wall in the world."

Li Jue frowned, because of Fu Li's indifference, and because of the fierce gleam in Fu Li's eyes when he said this.

Putting down his distress for Fu Li, Li Jue returned to his usual way of treating his subordinates: "Since that's the case, let's talk about your unfeeling favor!"

"This subordinate heard that Daxia came here this time to marry me in the later Tang Dynasty. If it is true, there will be a banquet in the palace for the Daxia envoys who came from afar. I dare you, please allow me Follow you into the palace, and see Da Xia's true face!"

After Fu Li finished speaking, before Li Jue could answer, he kowtowed three more times. Seeing that Fu Li's forehead was almost broken, Li Jue agreed before he was surprised.

Fu Li's expression was serious, an appearance Li Jue had never seen before: "Your Highness's great kindness to Mu Li, Mu Li will never forget it! Please write down what Mu Li said at this moment, Your Highness, maybe the so-called loyalty in the past was all fake. Yes, but at this moment, Mu Li wishes to be His Highness's man in life, and His Highness's ghost in death! As long as His Highness says a word, even if his body is broken to pieces, Mu Li will not hesitate!"
