The baby-making system is unreliable

In mid-July of that year, Nanyue sent two royal envoys, who were received by the empress in the imperial city and later lived in the Sixiang Pavilion. The news quickly spread throughout the imperial city, attracting widespread attention from all walks of life.

People were talking about it in the streets, teahouses and restaurants, full of curiosity and speculation about the purpose of the Nanyue Kingdom.

At this time, the young Princess of Nanyue, Zhu Weiyan, formally proposed a marriage between the two countries, intending to marry Liang Kongming, the young master of the Liang family.

Faced with such an important request, the empress sitting high on the dragon throne just smiled slightly and did not give a clear answer immediately. Her attitude was difficult to understand.

Seeing that the empress was reluctant to respond, the anxious Nanyue Princess Zhu Weiyan could not help but plead again. The empress then said, "Marriage is a matter between two countries, but it is also a matter between two people or even two families. Even if I decree the marriage, I cannot control the relationship between the princess and Liang's Kongming."

These words may seem euphemistic, but they are actually reminding the little princess not to act rashly about marriage, but to make a decision after careful consideration, as marriage is not a joke.

Zhu Weiyanli was the most favored princess of the Nanyue royal family. How could she make such a hasty decision about her life-long affairs just on a whim?

If she made the decision without informing her father and mother in advance, I'm afraid that when the news reaches the Nanyue Palace, the Nanyue Emperor will be so angry that he will turn around and tear down the roof! So, this matter is far from as simple as it seems.

"Love cannot be forced. Both parties must be willing. Otherwise, if they become enemies in the future, wouldn't that be a mistake for the princess? It's good that the princess wants to marry, but have you sent a letter to the King of Nanyue?!"

Yun Xirou had said all she needed to say here. The rest depended on what the little princess thought.

The little princess Zhu Weiyan spoke firmly, with a hint of arrogance: "This princess has made up her mind. I will write to my father immediately and he will definitely agree."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern for Yan Li's marriage. This princess understands your Majesty's concerns and also knows that matters of love require mutual affection from both parties. This princess begs Your Majesty to grant permission to allow Mr. Liang to accompany Yan Li on a tour of the capital. The rest depends on our own fate."

As she spoke, the little princess exuded a confident glow and displayed her true nature. She seemed to be fully prepared and confident to impress the other person.

Looking at her carefree and unrestrained appearance, Yun Xirou didn't know what to say and had to agree to her request. She was just doing her duty as a host and she couldn't refuse.

How will love develop? How can she be sure? But when Yun Yurou agreed, she didn't know that Liang Kongming already knew the truth of the matter.

But what worried her was not only this matter, but also the "cooperation" mentioned by Zhu Weiyan. Wen Shengxian had told him about it when he entered the palace. According to Yun Xirou's character, she naturally didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

"Meow meow, this decision will affect the direction of branch line one. Host, please choose carefully." Li Li reminded at this time and explained in detail that branch line one is the marriage between the two countries.

So this marriage is a must? According to Li Li's reminder, she must choose a "marriage" from the royal family of Nanyue. This path can either let Zhu Wei Yanli marry or let her sister Yuan'an marry.

It was true. As soon as this incident happened, before the next day, some ministers in the court could not wait to make a request and talked about the marriage of peace. They argued that the marriage of peace would be beneficial to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

If possible, efforts should be made to promote marriage between the two countries, especially Princess Zhu Weiyanli, who is very favored in the royal family of South Vietnam. Her presence will undoubtedly bring great convenience to this matter.

The ministers discussed the matter but could not reach a unanimous conclusion. In the end, Yun Xirou dismissed everyone on the pretext of waiting for a reply from the King of Nanyue.

Inside the Qiyu Palace, Yun Xirou sat quietly on a gorgeous chair, tightly hugging a raccoon with shiny fur and lively eyes in her arms.

She gently stroked Li Li's soft and smooth fur, as if she could find some comfort from the warm touch.

However, her gentle face revealed a deep sense of embarrassment. Her lips trembled slightly, and she murmured unconsciously, "Really... is it necessary to have a marriage alliance? Is there no other way..."

Li Li seemed to feel the pain and entanglement in its master's heart. It raised its head, stared at Yun Xirou with its clear eyes, and licked her palm gently, as if trying to comfort her.

"Yuanning, I heard that a minister of the court has submitted a memorial regarding the marriage of peace with the emperor!?" Wen Shengxian, dressed in a dark robe, subconsciously stretched out his hands and groped forward, walking very slowly and looking calm and composed, as if he was not affected at all.

At this moment, Yun Xirou saw Wen Shengxian approaching slowly, and she hurriedly placed Li Li, who was in her arms, on the soft couch beside her.

Then, she smiled sweetly, as beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.

Then, she stood up lightly, walked quickly towards Wen Shengxian, and took his hand. The moment their fingers touched, it was as if an electric current spread throughout the body, making people's hearts tremble.

"I'm having a headache. What do you think about the marriage?!" Yun Xirou held Wen Shengxian's hand tightly, led him forward a few steps, and then sat down on the carved bench together.

Wen Shengxian nodded, holding her soft and warm hands, sighed and said softly: "There is no need to rush this matter, the result will not come out immediately. I heard that you let Liang Kongming be the host? There is something I haven't had time to tell you."

Seeing that Yun Xirou didn't say anything, as if waiting for him to continue, Wen Shengxian paused for a moment and continued, "That day, after I had a good discussion with Zhu Weiyan, I saw Liang Kongming suddenly appear in the afternoon."

That day, he was covered in rain stains, and he looked wet from head to toe, as if he had just been soaked by a heavy downpour. The rain kept dripping down his hair, soaking his clothes and face.

However, he didn't care about these at all. His eyes were anxious and worried, and he looked straight at Wen Shengxian in the room.

Before Wen Shengxian could react and ask him, he looked very haggard and rushed out, "Where on earth is Wen Shuya? Where on earth is she?!"

Liang Kongming's body trembled violently, his face had already lost all color, and he looked at Han Zhi with empty eyes.

His lips trembled slightly, revealing an extremely bitter smile, and he said in a low and hoarse voice: "She is no longer alive, right?! You are all liars...you are all deceiving me! Isn't that right?!" His words were full of despair and unwillingness, which was heartbreaking to hear.

Wen Shengxian, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel depressed when he heard this and sighed secretly. He naturally understood that Liang Kongming already knew the truth at this moment, but just didn't want to believe it.

"It's true, she is gone." Wen Shengxian sighed heavily. His originally low voice sounded even heavier at this moment, as if every word was squeezed out from the deepest part of his heart.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked through the void in front of him, as if he wanted to travel through time and space to see the figure that had long gone.

Wen Shengxian sighed, shook his head slowly, and said with a faint expression and a somewhat helpless tone: "You! Stop acting like you're dying, okay? Look at what you're saying now! You should have let go of those things a long time ago."

When saying these words, there was not much expression on Wen Shengxian's face, but his slightly furrowed brows and tightly pursed lips still revealed a hint of anxiety in his heart.

"I...how can I let it go so easily!?" Liang Kongming's face turned red with excitement, his eyes widened, veins bulged on his forehead, and his voice almost rushed out of his throat like a roar.

Wen Shengxian pursed his lips tightly, his expression suddenly dazed. He paused for two breaths, opened and closed his thin lips several times, and spoke to him all at once.

"Isn't it obvious enough that she made that decision resolutely and chose to keep it a secret from you by all of us who knew about it? All she did was simply because she didn't want to watch you become what you are now!?"

He is so old, he can't pick it up and can't let it go, why bother? ! It is because she knows that he will be like this that Wen Shuya chooses to keep it a secret from everyone, so that he can always be the one who likes to travel around.

He is now in a decadent state, tormenting himself for love, can this change everything? ? Nothing can be changed, instead he has made himself full of beard, looking as if he has aged by more than ten years.

Liang Kongming's eyes were dim, and unspeakable bitterness surged out, rushing up his throat and leaving a fishy taste at the corners of his mouth. His hands clenched into fists, and veins bulged.

After a long while, he seemed to calm down. He suppressed the ups and downs in his heart and said in a clear and cold voice with a little hoarseness: "No, never again, but before that, let me be willful for the last time!! Yanzhi, I beg you, I have never begged you for anything in my life!!"

"..." Wen Shengxian's mouth twitched slightly, and after a pause, he slowly continued, "She is on Tiaolu Mountain, not far from my little house, about three or four hundred feet to the west."

"I...I, understand." Liang Kongming felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, which was bitter and unbearable. Even though he tried hard to hide the pain in his heart, he could not escape the chaotic memories in his mind.

After a long time, my heart has become numb, but tears still flow unconsciously. Once missed, it is missed, and nothing can be done about it.

At that time, her pulse... was indeed a sign of impending death, but he doubted himself and did not suspect that she was lying to him.

Cold tear marks unconsciously appeared on his face, and bitterness spread in his mouth again, like a worm or a wolfberry, stripping him of his breath, and in an instant he felt excruciating pain.

After hearing this, Yun Xirou couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in her heart, and the details of the past gradually became clear to her.

She frowned slightly and murmured unconsciously, "So that's how it was... I really knew too little about the story between the two of them before."

Thinking of this, Yun Xirou's mood became heavier, especially when she realized that the marriage might bring huge troubles and pressure to that person, her heart was filled with worry and uneasiness.

After all, if he was forced to marry the South Vietnamese princess, it would undoubtedly be an extremely difficult and inhumane thing to do, and it would be too difficult for him.

"Let the marriage take its course. I don't think the King of Nanyue would agree to his favorite daughter marrying far away."

At this time, Wen Shengxian's hand gently rested on the corner of Yun Xirou's clothes, as if wanting to give her a little comfort.

Yun Xirou nodded, but did not notice this subtle movement, because her mind had already been immersed in thinking about this matter.

And on Wen Sheng's handsome face, an indescribable expression inadvertently revealed, as if he was helpless and heartbroken.

"Hey, don't think too much. We haven't seen each other for such a long time, don't you miss me?! I miss you so much that the sachet you gave me is almost worn out."

Isn't it?! He was playing with the scent bag on his waist, thinking about it day and night, how could it not get old quickly?

Yun Xirou smiled and said softly, "Yes, but if I want to see you, I can summon you anytime. When next spring comes and Xiao Yuze goes to school, it will be easier to see you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she flew into his broad and warm arms as light as a butterfly, and her arms tightly wrapped around him, as if he would disappear without a trace if she let go.

"Yuan Ning, I miss you too. You don't know how boring my life is at home. I get anxious when I feel bored."

Wen Shengxian subconsciously tightened his arms, feeling her presence. He took a deep breath and greedily sniffed the familiar scent on Yun Xirou's body. This scent seemed like a dose of good medicine, which instantly made him feel at ease.

Yun Xirou hid her head in his arms, listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat, her heart filled with reluctance and cherishment.

At this time, the breeze was blowing gently, blowing up the hair and clothes of the two people, and the atmosphere between them seemed particularly intimate and warm.

Later, I heard that Liang Jiakongming was alone, wearing white clothes and with a sad face, and went to Tiaolu Mountain, where he stayed alone in front of the lonely grave for one night.

No one knew what he had done. All they knew was that when he came out of the mountain, he seemed like a different person, with all the sadness on his face gone.

Liang Kongming shaved off the beard on his face that had not been trimmed for many days, changed into a simple set of white clothes, cleaned himself up, smashed the wine jug around his waist, and buried it in front of someone's grave.

From then on, he no longer had a wine jug around his waist, but instead had a string of colorful ropes around his wrists, which he never took off for many years.

In early August of that year, the King of Nanyue sent a letter stating that if the little princess Zhu Weiyanli could find someone to rely on, the two countries could form an alliance through marriage.

It seems that the King of Nanyue has agreed to the marriage, and Princess Wei Yanli will ask Liang Kongming to go out whenever she has time. Although the two of them are not very affectionate during these days, they get along well and there is no great resentment or obstacles.
