After rebirth, I made the princes cry

"I have a girl I love, so I ask my father not to worry about my marriage for the time being."

This is Liang Hui’s response to Nan Ci.

For such a conversation, the two of them did not need to be on guard against being seen. Shangcai Liang was not one of the Eight Great Clan of Dayu, so the Northern Han would not pay attention to it. Besides, it was very common for men to talk about love, so it would not be a problem if someone overheard it.

"Didn't your father ask Jinyan which girl he liked?" Nanci asked.

Liang Hui, whose courtesy name is Jinyan.

"I did ask, but I refused to tell you. My father knows that I am stubborn, so he won't tell you if I refuse to tell you."

"Your father may not know Jinyan's thoughts. I guess that Jinyan's tea should not be given to everyone for no reason, right?"

Liang Hui smiled: "Your Highness is quite accurate."

"So……"

"Your Highness probably doesn't agree with the idea of ​​following one's parents' orders, right?"

Nanci also smiled.

"I am not afraid that Your Highness will blame me for being presumptuous. I am a soldier who has dealt with many soldiers. I am not used to being tactful in my words and deeds. I respect Master Qiao very much and consider myself to be his junior. I am also a few years older than Your Highness. Since Your Highness is interested in chatting with me today, I will regard myself as Your Highness's elder brother."

"Making."

"Your Highness and I do have many similarities. My father certainly loves me very much, but he and my mother... can at most be described as being on equal terms. The year I was born, my father had just escaped from the battle for the throne among the nine princes, and had the opportunity to retreat calmly and unscathed. My father believed that my birth brought good luck to the family.

I have an aunt who is also lucky enough to be Miss Lu. She and my uncle can truly be called a match made in heaven. My mother is also very fond of my aunt. I have always respected my uncle. Influenced by the two elders, I have had my own opinion on marriage since I was young. I will not just listen to my parents' orders. If I get married, I will be devoted to my wife and will not take concubines. But in the past, there has never been a woman in my life to whom I can devote my wholehearted love. I have only met her recently, and I must fight for her.

But now is not the time to think about marriage. I believe Your Highness can understand what I am saying."

Nan Ci was sent to Northern Han for Ying Shu, and Liang Hui also recommended himself. Who was he for? It must be the one he gave wild tea to.

"I hope your words will be fulfilled."

Nanci was a person who attended Liang Hui’s wedding.

In his previous life, Liang Hui married in October of this year, when he had just returned to Jiankang from Yizhou. Because Liang Hui's niece had become Xinsu Fei, his fourth sister-in-law, he would definitely accompany Sikong Yuehu to drink at Liang Hui's wedding. Liang Hui's wife was not a lady from an aristocratic family, but came from a poor family, and was a survivor redeemed from Northern Qi.

After the Northern Qi Dynasty established diplomatic relations with Dayu, it was the only country among the Yi tribe willing to release the survivors, but it required a ransom of gold. As for which survivors could be released, further negotiations were needed. At that time, Liang Hui was the deputy envoy of the delegation.

At this time in his previous life, Liang Hui was not on a diplomatic mission to Northern Han, he was on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi.

Liang Hui's wife's surname was Bai. She came from a poor family. Her father and grandfather had no intention of moving south. They donated all their wealth to the Northern Qi court and sought an official position. In fact, Bai was not a remnant at all. She should have been an official lady of the Northern Qi. However, such a woman, when she was born, Langya County was already ruled by a foreign race, but she secretly joined the Northern Qi's "Fighting the Barbarians Society".

The Fayi Society was actually a spy organization spontaneously formed by the survivors. They went through great pains to get in touch with the Flying Eagle Department of the Dayu government, and cooperated with the Flying Eagle Department's spy agency to spy on the secrets of the Northern Qi and other barbarian tribes. Bai was the only eunuch's daughter in the Fayi Society.

But she accidentally exposed herself.

She was sent to the Da Ting Prison of Northern Qi by her own father and grandfather. She was tortured severely, but she did not betray any of her colleagues. The reason why Northern Qi did not execute her was that it planned to use her in exchange for a large sum of money from the Dayu court.

If Dayu gave up the Bai family, all members of the Fayi Society would be disheartened. Northern Qi was sure that Dayu must redeem the Bai family at all costs.

Later, Liang Hui married Bai. At the wedding banquet, he swore in front of many guests that he would marry a woman who was as capable as any man. It was his great luck. Nan Ci even glanced at Liang Qin on purpose at that time. Shang Yuhou's smile was really forced.

The course of this life has changed.

Northern Qi might be waiting and watching the establishment of diplomatic relations between Yu and Han, and has not yet proposed that Dayu redeem the survivors. Liang Hui and Bai had never met, but he had already fallen in love with the Lord of Shenyuan Palace. Nan Ci suddenly remembered that he had not told Yingshu about Bai's identity.

At that time, Yingshu probably didn't know that the Bai family was a redeemed survivor.

The matter involved the Flying Eagle Tribe. Neither Dayu nor Northern Qi made Bai's true identity public, and Bai herself did not make it public. What everyone knew was that Liang Hui married a woman from a poor family. There were too many poor families, and no one paid attention to which poor family Bai came from. Only a few people knew about Bai's old deeds in Northern Qi.

The reason why he knew this was because his father told them directly and warned them that all the sons of Sikong family must remember to treat Bai family well, even if Liang would break his promise and Bai family no longer had a maternal home to return to, the Sikong royal family was Bai family's maternal home!

Liang Hui did not let Bai down, so he did not tell Yingshu about Bai's background.

But now, Bai Shi will probably not marry Liang Hui, and this matter should not be hidden from Ying Shu anymore.

Jiang Baiji, the Taiwei of the Northern Han Dynasty, was already certain that Nanci and Yingshu were in love with each other, and nothing unexpected happened during the journey. Of course, he would not pay much attention to the whispers between the two during their rest time.

"White Lady is actually... She is one year younger than me. She was not even born when Luoyang fell. She actually joined the Fayi Society secretly?" Ying Shu couldn't believe it. "I still have a vague impression of her. She was weak and taciturn. When she was ridiculed, she never fought back. Sikong Beichen never said that she was actually a spy for the Fayi Society."

"She was severely punished and was actually dying when she was redeemed. Father warned us to keep it a secret, but we had to protect her peace. I only vaguely know that if it weren't for her scheme, Northern Zhao wouldn't have put pressure on Northern Qi, and Northern Qi wouldn't have taken the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with Dayu in order to protect itself. This woman is really amazing."

"Northern Qi has established diplomatic relations with our dynasty and will not break off relations for the time being. Although Northern Qi has temporarily suspended its proposal to redeem the survivors because of the Northern Han incident, since Lady Bai is regarded as a 'rare treasure' by Northern Qi, her life should not be in danger now. However, Liang Hui was supposed to be her good man, but now Liang Hui has fallen in love with Dian Jun. Even if Lady Bai is redeemed and returned to Dayu, how to place her and how to make her happy? We are reborn people, so we must consider more."

Yingshu is really not good at matchmaking.

Her parents were indeed a match made in heaven, and because of this, she had always believed that this was how life should be between husband and wife. However, she was not favored by fate, and her marriage and love were hard to describe. She had thought deeply about it, and what she was sure of was that there were huge problems with her.

She took it for granted that Pei Yu and Sikong Beichen were the same as her father. What she ignored was that she had no understanding of them at all. She was not like her mother, who took the initiative to love, strive for a good match, and firmly believed in her choice. She was not that kind of person.

For her, Pei Yu was arranged by her parents. She admired and trusted her parents. Pei Yu's apparent obedience to her satisfied her vanity. Therefore, when Pei Yu proposed divorce first, she did not feel sad. She just suddenly realized that they were a pair of birds of the same forest who flew away separately when disaster struck.

She had been emotionally moved, but she always loved herself more.

At that time, she didn't care about wealth and fame, but she cared about people and things. As long as the other party touched her reverse scale, she would never sacrifice herself for others. She once relied on Sikong Beichen and was addicted to his pampering of her, but did she really love Sikong Beichen?

No.

A momentary emotion cannot be called admiration.

So she could be extremely calm and watch Sikong Beichen die with his eyes open. She could clearly distinguish between love and hate. As long as she survived, she would let it go. She treated Xuan'er well, even because of Wansu's tolerance towards her, she did not feel jealous or hateful towards Sikong Beichen's wives and concubines.

It's not because she's generous.

Wang Yingshu was once a coward. At one point she just wanted to live a less embarrassing life. Sikong Beichen took advantage of the situation and she started to deceive herself. She paid a heavy price for this. Her father died because of her, her mother endured torture because of her, Nan Ci gave up exposing the enemy's evil deeds because of her, and her daughter died because of her before she could fully experience this world.

She committed many sins because she loved herself too much.

She really didn't know how many other men were reliable, apart from her father, Liang Hui, Nan Ci, and a few others? Who could be trusted by Lady Bai for life? She changed the fate of the Lord of the Divine Yuan Palace, but at the same time, she might also make Lady Bai unhappy. But Lady Bai shouldn't be unhappy.

"Nanci, what do you think..." Yingshu only asked half of the question.

She wanted to ask Nanci whether Sikong Yuehu could bring happiness to the Lord of Shenyuan Palace.

She actually knew that the person Dianjun loved should be Sikong Yuehu.

When Dianjun mentioned Sikong Yuehu, her eyes lit up. She originally thought that Sikong Yuehu was Dianjun's savior, and Dianjun might have mistaken the kindness for love because he was still young and in love. But when Dianjun told her his true feelings, she had already made up her mind.

But in her opinion, the prince's feelings would most likely be wasted.

It is not appropriate for the prince to marry the prince. No matter how Sikong Yuehu looks at it, he does not seem like someone who would abandon the overall situation for personal reasons. But Yingshu still has a glimmer of hope. The course of events has changed, and perhaps His Majesty will change his old opinion. As long as His Majesty no longer objects to the prince's marriage, the prince's wish will still be fulfilled. If the prince's marriage is satisfactory, Liang Hui should not be obsessed with it. Since he was moved by the White Snake in his previous life, even if there are twists and turns now, it may not be impossible to get back on track.

This is a win-win outcome that has the best of both worlds.

But Yingshu didn't want to talk more about Sikong Yuehu with Nanci. She knew that Nanci had not let go of his suspicion of Sikong Yuehu, and she might not have really let it go either. If Tian Shishe really obeyed Sikong Yuehu's orders and forced her to death in Taiji Palace, then when Sikong Beichen forced her into the palace, ordered Pei Yu to kill Changle, and even left a will for her to be buried alive, behind these events, perhaps there was Sikong Yuehu's hand secretly pushing her. She could admit defeat in the arena of power, but she would not forgive the person who pushed her into power, used her, and then abandoned her.

As long as she doesn't step into power, her friends and relatives who she cares about won't be implicated by her.

That day, Yingshu thought about Jiankang City, which was separated from the city by huge mountains and rivers. She wondered how many changes had taken place in the capital of Dayu and inside and outside the imperial city as spring turned to summer. Sikong Yuehu should have received the intelligence that they had arrived safely in Meicheng, but she also wondered whether he had successfully sent Bai Meng and Xuan Meng to Chang'an first.

Going through Hanzhong, passing the Baoxiade Road, and then out of Meicheng to reach Chang'an is actually a detour. It is more convenient to go from Xiangyang to Chang'an through Wugu Pass, a fortress in the southeast of Guanzhong. However, Wancheng is now under the rule of Northern Zhao. If Dayu's delegation goes through Wugu Pass to reach Han, they will be ambushed by Northern Zhao, which is too unsafe. They have to take a long way, but Sikong Beichen wants to arrange spies to enter Han, so he cannot go through Hanzhong.

Dayu and Northern Han have only just begun to negotiate peace and establish diplomatic relations. In the past twenty years or so, the two countries have actually not had direct trade. The various passes from Hanzhong to Chang'an have very strict checks on merchants coming and going. Not only will Northern Han not let people from Yu enter the pass, it will naturally not let people from China leave the pass either.

Even if the spies of the Flying Eagle Division were holding talismans that were realistic enough, the people of Northern Han could not enter Bashu through Hanzhong. Naturally, no one was allowed to enter Hanzhong from Bashu. Unless the spies of the Flying Eagle Division could really turn into flying eagles, it would be impossible for them to enter Guanzhong through the Shu Road.

However, Northern Han had diplomatic relations with Northern Zhao, Northern Yan, Northern Qi and other countries.

The scouts from various factions of Dayu can sneak into Northern Han under false identities by relying on the fake or real tokens of the barbarian countries obtained through various channels. Compared with entering Han through Hangu Pass, for Dayu, the Wugu Pass route is both safer and more convenient. Yingshu guessed that although Bai Meng and Xuan Meng set out later than her, they should arrive in Chang'an earlier. They should be holding the tokens of Northern Qi now. Northern Qi was the first to establish diplomatic relations with Dayu, and was relatively more sincere. With Sikong Beihu's means, it would be easy for him to obtain the tokens of Northern Qi.

The people of Northern Qi would not be subjected to unwarranted persecution in Northern Han, and there were also spies from the Flying Eagle Tribe to cover for Bai Meng and Xuan Meng. The safety of the two should be guaranteed, at least not more risky than following her into Han.

However, Yingshu had not yet arrived in Chang'an, so she naturally could not contact Baiying and her two maids while on the way.

Chang'an was finally within sight.

For Yingshu, this city was something she had only seen in history books and poems. She had copied words about it repeatedly with pen and ink, and imagined a majestic city in her mind. It was an ancient capital, the old capital, where the greatest dynasty of China was born. After thousands of years of prosperity, she thought it was bound to decline and decay. But now she stood here, looking at the city walls not far away, which were still strong, the gate towers were still majestic, and the wind was different from that in the south of the Yangtze River. Only then could she clearly feel the difference.

The Lord of Shenyuan Palace also stood beside Yingshu.

She was not born in this city, had never drunk the Wei River, and had never even dreamed of returning here. After the Daji Dynasty, the palaces in Chang'an were abandoned and the people moved away. After hundreds of years, Chang'an has become too unfamiliar to the descendants of the Xuan family. Even the word "nostalgia" seems ridiculous. This place should not have become her haunted hometown, but now she stands here, and the sigh of someone seems to echo in her ears - you're back, you're back.

"This is Chang'an."

"This is Chang'an."

This is the former capital of thousands of Chinese people, but now it is the Hanjing that the people of Dayu cannot reach. It is still as majestic as before, but the country has changed hands. They are now standing outside the city of Chang'an, only as guests, admiring the glory that no longer belongs to the Chinese nation. They are not returning, but one day, Chang'an will return and China will be unified.

"We are about to enter the city. Please get in the carriage, my Lord and Deputy Envoy Wang." Gao stepped forward and pointed at the magnificent carriage.
