Under the scorching gazes of the crowd, Li Siwan couldn't stand it anymore, so he went outside with Xiahou Su.

After finding a secluded place to sit down, Li Siwan told Xiahou Su about the elk.

Of course, the fact that he was almost shot by an arrow was kept secret.

She didn't want to make Xiahou Su worry.

Xiahou Su was a little nervous after hearing this, but when he heard that Qin Rui had already gone to deal with it, he felt relieved.

"Qin Rui, is he your man?"

Li Siwan probably guessed it.

However, Xiahou Su shook his head and said, "He is a good official and a good talent. Such a person should not be swayed by the faction."

Not his people.

Xiahou Su was also a person who valued talent.

"The sun is shining today, do you want to look around?"

Xiahou Su looked at Mao Lin, but Li Siwan looked at Xiahou Su worriedly.

"You just came back from outside, so you should warm up in the temple."

"No need, I've been in good health lately."

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Li Siwan, and walked towards the tall horse on the side.

"Shall we go on horseback?"

"Of course. This forest is so big that I can't walk."

Li Siwan knew that he actually felt sorry for her, so she didn't refute him and climbed onto the horse.

Xiahou Su sat behind her and put the reins in her hands.

Li Siwan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Do you dare to trust me?"

"You saved my life by bumping around. Now that you are an accomplished horseman, what should I be afraid of?"

"Yes, then you better sit tight!"

Li Siwan chuckled and patted the horse, and the horse galloped out in an instant.

On the horse, Li Siwan looked dashing and heroic, and it was hard to tell that he was a new horse rider, and he was no less handsome than other boys.

The scene of the two men riding away on horseback fell into everyone's eyes and turned into envy.

But in fact, Li Siwan only rode his horse for a short distance.

Not for any other reason, just because running too fast will make you too cold.

So in the end, Li Siwan and Xiahou Su just let the horses wander slowly in the woods.

Although it was covered with snow, it didn't feel cold under the sunshine.

With beautiful scenery all around and Xiahou Su's warmth behind him, Li Siwan felt warm in his heart.

She even had a vision of one day traveling with him across rivers and mountains.

"Xiahou Su, when everything is over, what do you want to do?"

This made Xiahou Su stunned.

After all, he never thought about what to do after it was over.

All he wanted was to end it all before his life ended.

"What about you? What do you want to do?"

"Make money, then use the money to travel around the world, but I don't know if I can travel around without any worries in today's world."

"At least there will be no more disputes between the Southern Ji Kingdom and the Eastern Xiao Kingdom in recent years."

Feeling the yearning in Li Siwan's tone, Xiahou Su's eyes flickered.

He also wanted to have such an opportunity to travel around the world with her.

Just like it is now.

Li Siwan and Xiahou Su walked around the hunting ground for a long time before returning to their residence.

Everyone was going to attend the dinner, so Li Siwan simply packed up and attended with Xiahou Su.

This time, Li Siwan finally met the woman in Su Xiaoyao's scandal.

The Queen Mother was dressed gracefully. Although she was quite old, her demeanor was still elegant.

The banquet between the two countries was grand and harmonious.

Everyone was chatting and complimenting each other, but Li Siwan was still hiding in one place.

Just eat and drink.

But there were always some eyes that fell on her restlessly.

When I turned around, it was Song Qiyu.

Turning around again, it was Song Fengsheng.

Turning around again, it was Shaoyang.

Ugh...

I have made too many enemies!

Li Siwan sighed secretly.

"Your Majesty, I came to the court with Prince Heng this time to express our intention of friendly alliance with your country. Secondly, we have another matter to discuss. Your Majesty, please make your decision."

Shao Yang suddenly spoke, and Li Siwan's heart skipped a beat, with an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

"Princess Shaoyang, you can speak freely."

"Since ancient times, the best way for two countries to form an alliance is to exchange hostages and form a marriage alliance. Now that the hostage has returned, in order to maintain the friendship between the two countries, our dynasty is willing to conclude a marriage alliance with your country."

Marriage.

This is indeed a universal method.

"Our dynasty is willing to establish a marriage, but I only have one daughter, who is only fourteen years old and not yet of marriageable age. As far as I know, your emperor has no heir, and all the princes already have wives."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this. This marriage does not involve the little princess. I will complete it myself."

what?

Princess Shaoyang personally arranges the marriage?

Everyone was shocked, but Li Siwan subconsciously looked at Xiahou Su.

Sure enough, Shaoyang immediately turned around and looked at Xiahou Su.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that when I was traveling, I was saved by Young Marquis Su. At that time, I spent many days with Young Marquis Su and developed a new admiration for him. Now if Your Majesty can help us, it will be beneficial to both countries, and it will also help me personally."

When these words came out, everyone took a deep breath.

The engagement between Xiahou Su and Li Siwan was personally granted by the Emperor, and they have already been engaged.

Now that his future wife is sitting next to him, it is really puzzling that Shaoyang is interfering.

Li Siwan's face turned dark and he almost jumped up from his seat.

My goodness, he's pretending she doesn't exist.

Just rob it directly?

At this moment, Li Siwan felt her palms warm. Xiahou Su had already reached out and gently held her hand.

When she turned around, Xiahou Su chuckled and nodded at her, telling her to rest assured.

Then he stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have been granted marriage by Your Majesty, and I have already fallen in love with Wanwan. Men in our dynasty all value love and loyalty, so in this life, I will only have Wanwan as my wife, and I will not marry anyone else."

Xiahou Su's expression was resolute and everyone could see how much he doted on Li Siwan.

Therefore, as soon as these words were spoken, many people spoke up to dissuade him.

"What Young Marquis Su said is true. His engagement with Miss Li is granted by the Emperor's will and cannot be cancelled suddenly."

"Although marriage is a state affair, if the couple is not in harmony, it will also affect the relationship between the two countries. Therefore, the in-laws do not require love and affection, but at least they should live in harmony. It is not appropriate for the young Marquis Su to have a lover in his heart."

"That's right. For a big marriage, Princess, please don't let your personal feelings affect the overall situation."

Everyone made their presentations, and the situation became a little tense for a while.

Shaoyang was not affected by these remarks at all and continued to look at Xiahou Su.

"Young Marquis Su, they said that I asked for marriage due to personal feelings, which affected the overall situation. Then, if you refused the marriage due to personal feelings, wouldn't that also affect the overall situation?"

"The princess came to our court this time, is she asking for trouble? But we, A Su, will not take the blame!"

The person being discussed finally spoke.

Li Siwan knew that Xiahou Su wanted to help her deal with all the matters.

But she has never been the type to hide behind others.

He stood up and bowed to the princess, then spoke, "I was granted marriage before, and I have already been engaged to A Su. You knew that we were in love, but you still deliberately asked for this marriage. I really don't know if the princess really loves A Su and has selfish motives, or if she is deliberately making things difficult for His Majesty and causing discord between the two countries?"

Just one sentence, it makes sense.

At the same time, he threw the blame that Shaoyang wanted to throw back to him intact.

Everyone looked at each other with different expressions.

They were originally from a foreign country and had suspicions of each other, but now that they were being led in this way by Li Siwan, their suspicions were magnified.

Li Siwan also knew that the diplomatic relations between the two countries were imperative and would not be destroyed by a mere marriage.

She did it on purpose.

Use the overall public opinion to force her to step down on her own.

Shao Yang's expression changed again and again, and his eyes darkened when he looked at Li Si Wan.

"Miss Li is really born with a sharp tongue!"

"You are too kind, Princess. It's a pity that I can't compare to your noble status."

This implicit sarcasm made Shaoyang clench his fists.

Then a light flashed in his eyes and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Since you and Young Marquis Su love each other, I will not separate you."

Just when everyone thought she was going to give up, the smile on her lips became more eye-catching.

"But state affairs are not to be trifled with. As the eldest princess, I cannot forget the responsibilities I bear. The marriage is imperative. Why don't you and I enter the mansion together? You continue to have a loving relationship with Young Marquis Su, and I only want to have a status for the sake of the country. As for this status..."

Shaoyang sighed, looking quite helpless.

"Just like you said, after all, I am the eldest princess of a country and I represent the face of the country, so I can only let Miss Li down. I will be the principal and you will be the concubine."
