Wealth and glory seek stability
Chapter 159 Calculation
it is more than words.
Gao Yunhuai followed quietly behind without saying a word.
But my heart has always followed Jian Xi, and I can always see a different side of her every time I see her.
The maturity and prudentness of the first meeting, the careful calculation of the second meeting, and the ruthless determination after that...
When I met her in Pingjiang Prefecture, she was humorous and cheerful, like the wind, invisible, uncatchable and intangible.
Today seemed to be the real her, like a Saker Falcon in the clouds. Every attack was carried out with a clear purpose, and she did not hide her ambition at all.
Calm and indifferent.
She is not a skylark, and the small forest is not what she pursues.
Such a brilliant woman should not be confined to a small world in the backyard.
The only thing he could do was to stay behind her, just like today.
Xuanyuan Zangzhen performed well in the second half, with the assistance of Gao Yunhuai and Lan An, and finally defeated Xuanwu Dynasty with a score of 7 to 6.
The difference of only one point gave Zhang Cen'er enough face.
The Ferghana horse was returned to Xuanyuan Zangzhen, who led the horse to Zhang Cen'er and said, "A horse goes well with a beauty. How about giving this horse to Princess Jiahe?"
Zhang Cen'er raised her red lips and took the reins, "Thank you, Eighth Prince."
Emperor Xuanyuan was very happy. Xuanyuan Zangzhen was not stupid enough. He laughed and said, "Princess Jiahe has come from afar. The Eighth Prince has also reached the marriageable age. The two of you standing together are like a perfect match in a painting. I will help you two to get married. What do you think, Princess Jiahe?"
Zhang Cen'er accepted it with a smile.
She came here to seek peace as a defeated country and had no choice.
At this point, there is nothing Jian Xi doesn't understand.
The outcome of this game was determined from the very beginning.
It is estimated that even that Ferghana horse would be written as a token of love in the writings of historians, and a witness to the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Gao Yunhuai noticed Jian Xi's slightly lost look and pursed his lips.
She is so smart, she should have guessed it.
"Princess Jiahe is as bright as the sunset, and she is a perfect match for my brother."
Lan Mei'er, wearing the court dress of a noble lady, spoke at the right time.
Emperor Xuanyuan also looked satisfied, "Princess Jin is absolutely right."
Xuanyuan Qiyuan didn't want to get involved and just drank alone.
Crown Princess Wei Yuyan is not good at speaking, and she wanted to say something during this opportunity to flatter, but she couldn't get a word in.
Lin Yun was so disappointed with his friend that he turned around and said with a smile, "General Shen's sister really shined today. If the Crown Princess hadn't been unwell, she should have been the one to perform this time." The implication was that Jian Xi had gotten the upper hand.
Lin Yun's words drew everyone's attention to Jian Xi.
Jian Xi lowered her head, accepting the gazes from all directions, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Lin Yun, I'll let you jump around for a few more days.
Emperor Xuanyuan has always liked Shen Nanxing and has a better impression of his sister. In addition, Jian Xi tied the score in the first half, regaining face for the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
"I heard that you and Lord Shen are not biological siblings?"
Jian Xi stepped forward, knelt on the ground in silence, and said, "Your Majesty, yes."
Lin Yun wanted to interrupt, but was glared at by Wei Yuyan. The meaning in her eyes was self-evident: If you want to die, don't drag me into it.
People in the royal family always say they will leave three points when they speak, but Lin Yun always says that he will leave twelve points of leverage when he says he will leave ten points.
Who is Shen Nanxing? People in the court and the country are saying that if Shen Nanxing is Emperor Xuanyuan's biological son, then there will be no chance for the Xuanyuan Dynasty to have the crown prince.
Emperor Xuanyuan invited Shen Nanxing to have meals in the Qinzheng Hall several times, and praised Shen Nanxing for looking like him when he was young. Such favor was something no other prince had ever experienced.
Lin Yun came up without saying a word and attracted some hatred.
Wei Yuyan just felt tired and could only wait until she returned to the East Palace to react.
Emperor Xuanyuan thought for a moment, "You are so heroic on the horse field, and you have the demeanor of a woman of my Xuanyuan Dynasty. You can be a role model for women. I will confer you the title of Rong'an County Lord."
County Lady was a title given to the wife, mother, and sister of an official, and was of the fourth rank.
Jian Xi was surprised and pleasantly surprised. She saw from the corner of her eye that Lin Yun was about to speak again.
She kowtowed and thanked him, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your reward. May your Majesty be blessed!"
As expected, he saw Lin Yun tightening his handkerchief in anger, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
I really don't know when I offended this girl and she won't let go of me like this.
When others heard about the reward and title, they would refuse it again and again before accepting it. It was rare to see Jian Xi thank the honor so readily.
Emperor Xuanyuan was shocked for a moment but recovered immediately, "Like brother, like sister, so be it. Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Xuanyuan didn't tell her to leave, so she didn't dare to go down.
All I heard was Zhang Cen'er saying, "Since Your Majesty is interested in forming an alliance with the Xuanwu Dynasty, and my fourth brother is both talented in civil and military affairs, why don't Your Majesty let the best woman in the Xuanwu Dynasty be his match, so as to have the best of both worlds and also promote friendly relations between the two countries?" Her voice carried the unique charm of the grassland.
The sharp tone was directed at Jian Xi. Jian Xi had just been awarded the title of County Lady, and Zhang Cen'er proposed a marriage. The meaning was self-evident.
Zhang Xuanyu, the fourth prince of the Xuanwu Dynasty, stepped forward and saluted, "Zhang Xuanyu pays his respects to Your Majesty." He was one of the people who had just played polo with him.
Zhang Xuanyu is tall and has an exotic appearance. If you look closely, you can see that his pupils are brown, just like Zhang Cen'er's.
The Xuanwu Dynasty asked for peace and not only sent the princess, but also the fourth prince Zhang Xuanyu as a hostage.
The Xuanyuan Dynasty has always wanted to enter the circle of old dynasties, and this time is an excellent opportunity.
Xuanyuan Qingqing didn't care about etiquette and suggested, "Father, isn't the Rong'an County Lady you just appointed the best candidate? Father just said that Rong'an County Lady is a role model for women in the entire Xuanyuan Dynasty."
She was extremely dissatisfied in her heart, but in order to trick Jian Xi, she kept praising her.
Jian Xi stood below, her hands clenched into fists under her sleeves.
Reluctance and anger were intertwined. The sun was high in the sky and he didn't even notice the sweat running down his hair.
Son of a bitch!
Everyone thinks she is a soft persimmon, and everyone wants to squeeze her, just wanting to squeeze out all her value, but no one asks about her wishes.
Lin Yun looked at Jian Xi leisurely, seeming a little embarrassed.
"The Lady of Rong'an County is a heroine. She played a brilliant polo match just now. The establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries is nothing special. Father must think twice."
Seeing that something was not right, Zi Cui quietly retreated and went to inform Dongfang Wenying.
Zhang Cen'er knelt on the ground and spoke earnestly, "Your Majesty enjoys the nine states and has found a good son-in-law for Jiahe. You are truly a rare saintly monarch. Fourth brother and Jiahe are brothers from the same mother. Jiahe has found a good man. I hope Your Majesty can also find a confidant for Fourth brother. Jiahe will definitely write a letter and send it back to the motherland so that everyone in the Xuanwu Dynasty will know that Your Majesty is kind-hearted, treats the hostage well, and has the demeanor of a great country."
If the previous sentence was a test, this one was a threat. If Emperor Xuanyuan did not agree, it would give the Xuanwu Dynasty an excuse.
The Xuanyuan Dynasty was arrogant and treated its hostages harshly, while the Xuanwu Dynasty had just fought a frustrating battle and was worried that it had no excuse to send troops.
