"You four countries all want to marry the princess, but there is only one princess in Da Xia, and not everyone can get what they want."

Lord Wen looked a little unhappy. Was he going to be rejected by the Emperor?

Xia Zhiye said, "How about this, we will hold a competition in three days, and whichever country wins more will marry the princess."

The envoys from the four countries had different expressions.

The Hun envoy was angry. He thought he had it all figured out, but ended up being humiliated. How could he explain this to the Khan?

The Dayuan envoys were stunned. Apart from people who were good at negotiation and people responsible for protection, they did not bring any scholars with them this time.

The Wusun envoy remained calm and appeared confident among the other envoys.

The Loulan envoys who were on Lord Wen's side were overjoyed.

Loulan was not as strong as the other three countries, and its land was barren, so it did not have much value to Daxia. He never dreamed that it could compete fairly with other countries.

Lord Wen thought that he was a famous scholar in Loulan, and in terms of knowledge alone, he might not lose to other countries.

The Dayuan envoy asked, "Your Majesty, can you tell me what kind of competitions there are?"

"The art of playing the zither, chess, arithmetic, astronomy, and geography."

The four countries all looked unhappy. They did not advocate rites and music education like Daxia did. Wasn't this making things difficult for people?

Xia Zhiye said lazily: "Of course, there are also horse riding, archery, wrestling, Cuju, etc., which your country is good at. Let's compete fairly."

Everyone's faces looked a little better.

No matter whether it is the Xiongnu, Wusun, Dayuan or Loulan, they are all foreigners on the territory of Daxia. Let's compete. Who is afraid of who?

After the court meeting, Yun Yuan was stopped by a eunuch.

"Princess Jiayue, His Majesty invites you to come with us."

There was a gleam in Lord Wen's eyes. Could it be that the King of Daxia had taken a fancy to Yun Yuan?

He threatened in a low voice: "In two days... you know what you should and shouldn't say."

Yun Yuan rolled her eyes. Isn't it just an antidote? She threw the last antidote to the dogs. Did he really think he could control her?

She snorted coldly: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

After saying this, he turned around and caught up with his father-in-law without caring about Lord Wen's expression.

Royal study room.

Xia Zhiye, dressed in a dragon robe, sat at the desk, his eyes as deep as the sea.

"Princess Jiayue, have you ever had any special dreams?"

Yun Yuan knew what he was testing, and said calmly, "No."

Xia Zhiye was disappointed. He looked at Yun Yuan's eyes beyond the veil and remained speechless for a long time.

Is it really not her?

But this feeling of wanting to hug desperately...

Xia Zhiye decided to test it again: "Pour me a cup of tea."

"Yes." After knowing Xia Zhiye's identity, Yun Yuan was more relaxed. After she habitually touched the wall of the teapot with her fingers, her slender arm was grabbed.

Xia Zhiye looked excited, "You still say you are not her!"

Yun Yuan has a habit. She never drinks cold tea, nor does she pour cold tea for others to drink. Before pouring tea, she will touch the wall of the teapot with her hand, and change the tea if it feels cold.

Even when I immerse myself in the plane, this habit still exists, as if it is engraved into my soul, and I do it naturally.

Touching Xia Zhiye's burning and somewhat aggrieved gaze, Yun Yuan dodged: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying."

"How could you not understand, Zhao Qingxue!"

Yun Yuan trembled, and Xia Zhiye pulled her into an embrace filled with ambergris. He growled, "What Dongfang Huaijin could give you in the last life, I can give you in this life too."

"Tang Jingyao, don't do this." Yun Yuan struggled.

Xia Zhiye hugged him even tighter and started crying. It had been a long time since he heard anyone call him by this name.

After Zhao Qingxue died, he entered the imperial mausoleum to commit suicide for love. Who knew that after death he went to another world and became the fifth son of the Emperor of Daxia.

He firmly believed that she was here too, so he worked hard to ascend the throne. On the first day of his reign, he sent people to look for her all over the country, but they couldn't find her.

The world is too big, and there are other countries besides Daxia. Finding a person is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Thinking of his experiences in his previous life, he raised a group of sorcerers.

Unexpectedly, the sorcerer didn't work, and she appeared in front of him on her own as a princess married to a foreign king. He was glad that he was an emperor.

He hugged her tightly, "God wants us to be together, please don't reject me, okay?"

Yun Yuan remained silent. Given his infatuation with her in his previous life, she was not rejecting him. However, the original owner's wish was to make Xia Yanjin and Gu Xiao fall in love with her. She hadn't even met Gu Xiao yet. If she went straight into the palace, could she still win over Gu Xiao?

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Xia Zhiye's face darkened: "Or do you already have a lover?"

"No." Yun Yuan shook her head: "I still have things to deal with."

That’s good, Xia Zhiye breathed a sigh of relief. He had waited for her for two lifetimes. If that was really the case, he didn’t know what he would do.

He kissed her carefully, "What is it? I can help you."

Yun Yuan told Xia Zhiye about the fake princess, but Xia Zhiye didn't care. "If you want to leave, then leave. I'll write a letter to the King of Loulan, and he will be happy to give you the identity of a princess."

"Aren't you angry?"

Xia Zhiye looked at her expression carefully and said, "Then I will destroy Loulan?"

Yun Yuan chuckled. Loulan would be destroyed sooner or later, so there was no need to rush now.

The original owner's mother, Yunmu, was bought by her father, Yunfu. After Yunmu gave birth to the original owner, she could not get pregnant. Yunfu often beat and scolded her. When the original owner was five years old, Yunmu died. She was sold to the palace by Yunfu and took the secret medicine of Loulan for more than ten years.

The original owner had complicated feelings towards Loulan. On one side was the place where she was born and raised, and on the other side was hatred and bad memories. The original owner knew that Loulan was destroyed but did not ask to save it. Yun Yuan just needed to let nature take its course.

No matter how much Xia Zhiye kissed Yun Yuan, it was never enough. In fact, he wanted to do more, but it was not the right time yet.

"Qingxue, my parents are both dead in this life, and the ministers in the court are eager for me to get married and have children. No one will stop us."

"What is the matter with your madness?"

Xia Zhiye said: "I created this deliberately because I don't want other women to get close to me. I'm not sick, really."

The two of them stayed together for a while. Xia Zhiye wanted to keep Yun Yuan until the evening to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet together, but Yun Yuan said that she had to go back to get something.

Xia Zhiye said: "Just let the palace servants get it. It takes time to go back and forth. Don't tire yourself out."

"That's fine. I was originally going to give it to you in Daxia." Yun Yuan said.

Xia Zhiye was expecting: "What is it?"

"These are a few poetry collections I accidentally got from a traveling merchant in the Western Regions. The people of Loulan cannot understand them, so they can only be used to their full potential if they are presented to Daxia."

"If Yun Yuan rated it so highly, it must be a good thing." Xia Zhiye was very excited: "I will ask the Imperial College to print a few more copies so that students all over the country can study together."
