Mu Rong's arrival injected a sense of clarity into the originally quiet room.

After going to court, he was left alone in the study by the emperor to talk for a long time. He did not leave the palace until it got dark.

As soon as he left the palace, Mu Yi came up to him and told him in a few words that Princess Lingxi had gone straight to Zhuxiang Yayuan.

A sharp look flashed between Mu Rong's eyebrows: What does that woman want to do?

"Did you do anything extraordinary?" he asked.

Mu Yi shook his head: "The Marquis ordered not to enter the eldest lady's yard without permission, so the people sent by his subordinates only stayed outside the yard. Soon after Princess Lingxi entered the house, they saw Mrs. Lu coming next door, so they didn't dare After about two cups of tea, the eldest lady and Mrs. Lu sent the princess out together. From this point of view, Princess Lingxi’s trip should not have done anything to embarrass the eldest lady. "

Mu Rong nodded upon hearing this.

But he immediately led people straight to Zhuxiang Yayuan.

As soon as he came in, he saw Xu Rongrong sitting in an armchair, lost in thought, and he was relieved again: "Princess Beijiang did not embarrass you when she came today, did she?"

He knew that his little girl had a strong temperament, but the Northern Xinjiang princess was a stranger she had never met before, not to mention that the other party also showed good skills at the New Year's Eve family dinner. Facing such a person, even She will inevitably feel nervous and uneasy.

Xu Rongrong raised his head and met Mu Rong's slightly nervous face.

She couldn't help but wonder, did he treat her as a child?Did he think she would be in any danger?Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile brightly: "What would she dare to do to me in my house?"

Mu Rong was relieved: "What is she here for?"

"I am also worried about this matter." Xu Rongrong held her chin and told her about Princess Lingxi's invitation to be a complimenter, and then showed a puzzled look, "Although after being rejected by me, she didn't force it, it's just this It happened so weird that I couldn’t figure it out for the moment.”

Mu Rong thought for a moment and then said: "I have some news here, I don't know if it is related to this matter."

"what news?"

"After the morning meeting today, His Majesty summoned me and said that he would strengthen the border defense in the northern border. I think there may be some restlessness in the northern border."

"How could it be? The border between Northern Xinjiang and the Great Zhou Dynasty has been peaceful for decades. Why is it suddenly necessary to strengthen border defense?"

"The desertification of Northern Xinjiang has been serious in recent years. The King of Northern Xinjiang has repeatedly wanted to lead the tribes to move to places with lush water and grass. Your Majesty has allowed it. But last winter, they proposed to live in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This time, Your Majesty She did not agree, and then Princess Nian Guan Lingxi and her party came. Her trip to the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to be to transport tributes, but in fact it was to bring the relationship between Northern Xinjiang and the Great Zhou Dynasty closer, so she deliberately mentioned the hairpin ceremony. But according to I think the wedding ceremony is also a test, and what she really wants to do during this trip is to get married."

"Marriage?" Xu Rongrong was stunned. She was a little unbelievable. "Isn't Princess Lingxi the most beloved daughter of the King of Northern Xinjiang? How could she be willing to marry her away from the capital?"

Mu Rong smiled and said: "Rong Rong doesn't know. Because the Great Zhou Dynasty is rich, it is a hard job for noble girls to marry far away. But for a miserable place like Northern Xinjiang, they are the only ones who can marry into the royal family of the capital. It is a dream, and it is precisely because Princess Lingxi is the most beloved daughter of the King of Northern Xinjiang that she will have such an opportunity."

"I see..." I didn't expect that there would be such a difference when it comes to marriage.

"But before she got there, the King of Northern Xinjiang was so eager to make arrangements. It must be very urgent to come to Northern Xinjiang." She guessed.

"Exactly." Mu Rong nodded, "The third brother is currently in the north. I have ordered someone to send a message to him to come back early."

Speaking of this, he could not help but think of his past life. When His Majesty mentioned the matter of Northern Xinjiang to him in the study today, he was also a little surprised, because he remembered that he did not receive these arrangements in his previous life.

But...at this time in the previous life, it was Lin Yunche who was promoted from the Gyeonggi Guard Lieutenant General to the post of Northern Border Guard, and in the next two years he served as the Northern Border Guard Commander.

Thinking about it this way, His Majesty asked Lin Yunche to solve the crisis of the Northern Xinjiang King in his previous life. But now that Lin Yunche has become useless, this task falls on him.

Just after he put down Wu Tianqi, the King of Northern Xinjiang turned against him... I don't know what role the Lin family played in this matter.

But no matter what, he must solve the hidden danger of the King of Northern Territory as soon as possible to prevent the war from rekindling like in the previous life and causing the lives of the people in the Northern Territory to be devastated.

Xu Rongrong was trapped in the inner house in her previous life. The King of Northern Xinjiang died trying to save Mu Rong before he rebelled, so she didn't know about these things. She only thought of one thing at the moment: "It seems that Princess Lingxi came to the capital for this reason." Kill two birds with one stone: she will personally deliver the tributes to show Northern Territory's sincerity; at the same time, if she can make peace with the Great Zhou Dynasty, she will also make profits for Northern Territory."

Mu Rong nodded.

"It seems that she has to find a suitable royal family for herself during this trip..." After Xu Rongrong finished speaking, looking at Mu Rong who was close at hand, a thought suddenly came to his mind, "This Princess Lingxi... shouldn't she?" Let’s go to the Marquis.”

Mu Rong: "..."

"If not, why would she come here to pester me?"

"What are you thinking!" Mu Rong shook his head helplessly. How much does this little girl don't want to marry him?All hats should be put on him.

He raised his hand and poked Xu Rongrong's forehead with his fingertips: "The whole capital knows about your marriage, how could she get involved?"

Xu Rongrong retreated subconsciously, then glared at him: "Since she is the most beloved daughter of the King of Northern Xinjiang, if she really wants to marry you, it will not be difficult for His Majesty to cancel your marriage out of the justice of the family and the country. What she did today It's just to test the relationship between you and me. If I agree to be her admirer, and if you go together on the day of the ceremony, she will have a chance to get close to you. But if I am the only one who goes, it means that you We have a normal relationship. No matter what the outcome of the trial is, she knows how to deal with it in the future."

After saying that, her eyes were bright: "It seems that I want to congratulate Mr. Hou!"

Mu Rong's face darkened: "Why do you look so happy?"

His voice was hoarse and his eyes were deep, seemingly with a hint of anger.

Xu Rongrong subconsciously wanted to retreat, but the back of the chair was already behind her and there was no way to retreat.

Mu Rong had already leaned forward, placing his hands on both sides of the armrests of her seat, as if he wanted to hold her in his arms.

"Rong Rong really hopes that you and I will end our marriage?" He approached again, looking at the girl who was close at hand with burning eyes, and there was a hint of threat in his voice.

This kind of oppression was something Xu Rongrong had never experienced since her rebirth, and she felt a little flustered for a moment.

Yes, she had forgotten that the person in front of her was a powerful and murderous general, and his momentum could not be ignored.

"Rong Rong wants me to marry someone else? Huh?"
