The morning glow spreads from the sky, illuminating the grand city of Yanjing and awakening the merchants and farmers in the city.Accompanied by the loud voices of people, the imperial capital of the Great Yan Kingdom slowly woke up, showing its vibrant side.

In the center of the city, the high walls and red tiles on all sides stand upright, guarded by guards, showing the solemnity and inviolability of the imperial palace.

The glazed green tiles of the Chongde Hall in the center, with golden pillars and dragon carvings, are majestic.There are many officials in the palace, all respectful and silent, waiting for the golden bell in the palace to ring, saluting and shouting.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The sound echoed in the hall, and it was deafening, making people feel awe.

Xiao Chuyi strode up to the golden lacquered and carved dragon throne, and sat down with his sleeves waving.The person on the dragon chair has star-eyed sword eyebrows, a high forehead and straight nose, and a pair of phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, exuding a menacing aura that makes people dare not look directly at him.It really is the overlord of the world.

"All loves are flat, let's play."

Xiao Chuyi opened his mouth and nodded slightly.All the talents in the hall straightened up and stepped forward one by one to report.

It is said that all the ministers are dragons among men and have their own integrity, but no one can deny that the men at the top of the team are the most dazzling.

He is seven feet tall, slender and strong, and with the gorgeous court clothes, even the back view makes people unable to take their eyes off it.

The man silently looked at the emperor on the dragon chair, neither humble nor overbearing, with an aura no weaker than Xiao Chuyi's.Bright eyes and thin lips, his face is five points similar to Xiao Chuyi's.It's just that he is a little more indifferent and linglie, and less calm and playful. He is also handsome and handsome, not inferior to his father.

This person is Xiao Haoxuan, the eldest son of Emperor Xiao Chuyi, King Xuan of Great Yan Kingdom.

Xiao Haoxuan silently listened to the ministers' report, his heart was like a mirror.Border patrols, fortification progress, official inspections... I knew all of these in advance, but I raised my eyebrows clearly.

The emperor allocated three-thirds of the political affairs with him to supervise, and in addition, he had news from the Wenli Pavilion.Xiao Haoxuan had sharp eyes and ears in the court, and there was nothing he could hide from him, so it was rare to stop him.

Xiao Chuyi read the brochure while listening to the report, glanced at the eldest son of the emperor below, and raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.This son has always made him proud and at ease. He always looks unshakable, but he looks calmer than himself.

Thinking of the letter of credence he received yesterday, Xiao Chuyi smiled even deeper, will he see Hao Xuan change his face this time?

The early court ended two hours before, and the officials respectfully sent the emperor away from the palace.

Xiao Chuyi got up and glanced at Xiao Haoxuan. "Haoxuan, follow me to the imperial study."

"Yes, father." Xiao Haoxuan straightened up and followed Xiao Chuyi.

Xiao Chuyi entered the imperial study room obviously more casually, and his eyes softened a bit. He sat down at the tea table and signaled the people behind him to sit down.

Xiao Haoxuan nodded and sat opposite the emperor, waiting for him to speak.

Xiao Chuyi took a sip of tea, and said casually, "Yesterday, the envoy of Great Xia Kingdom brought credentials. Xia Kingdom agreed to our border trade agreement, and is also willing to make friends with Dayan."

Xiao Haoxuan nodded.Xia Guo has been Dayan's left neighbor since ancient times. The two countries fought wars and fought together, and the relationship was good and bad.

Until Xiao Chuyi ascended the throne of God.The Dayan Kingdom stabilized the people, the industry, agriculture and commerce flourished, and the territory expanded thousands of miles. The surrounding countries made friends with it one after another, and the Xia Kingdom calmed down.

Xiao Haoxuan had already expected the content of this letter of credence, he looked at Xiao Chuyi, waiting for the man's next words.Shouldn't the emperor only need to communicate letters with him?

Xiao Chuyi tapped on the wooden table with his fingertips, and said in a tone of rare helplessness, "King Xia wants to marry the royal family", and looked at Xiao Haoxuan while speaking.

Xiao Haoxuan frowned lightly, and immediately let go of it the next moment, looking calm.

Xiao Haoxuan understood the emperor's short sentence.

Xia Guo wants to marry, one is to establish a more stable alliance, and the other is to cultivate influence in the court.This is a condition of trade, and it is not easy to refuse in any case.

Xiao Chuyi specially called him to the imperial study instead of discussing with the princes and nobles in the early court, which means that Da Xia is seeking the prince and princess who is his direct relative.The prince and princess under me are not yet ten years old, so I can't marry, let alone marry, then...

Xiao Haoxuan nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Father, please send an envoy to propose a marriage right away. Xia Guo should be satisfied with the title of Concubine Xuan."

Xiao Chuyi was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud. The person opposite was still expressionless, and it was impossible to see that he had just set a lifelong event for himself.

Xiao Chuyi's words were full of ridicule, "You don't even ask if it's a princess or a prince, what's his name, and whether he looks good or not?"

Xiao Haoxuan didn't change his face, "These are not important, the important thing is that this is a marriage between Yanxia and Xia, and it is an agreement that can ensure the stability of the border."

Xiao Chuyi sighed slightly in his heart, Hao Xuan was indeed his son, very much like his 20-year-old self.Marriage is regarded as a transaction, and there is no room for anyone in my heart.If he hadn't met Gu Yao, he would never have imagined that he would have a day of infatuation.

Thinking of his queen, Xiao Chuyi's eyes instantly softened, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Xiao Haoxuan looked at the changes in his father, his eyes darkened a bit, and he avoided looking directly at him.

Xiao Chuyi sighed, "Gu Yao knows that you have no one you like, and he never forced you to get married. He has been waiting for you to choose someone, and he will propose marriage to you right away."

After hearing this, Xiao Haoxuan showed a faint smile, which disappeared for a moment, "I know, Gu Yao never imposes on me, but not everyone can meet Gu Yao like Father Emperor. I don't reject finger marriage, for me This marriage is the best choice." It was a deal that maximized profits, Xiao Haoxuan kept this sentence in his heart.

Xiao Chuyi stopped laughing, and looked serious, "I didn't ask you to agree immediately, but this marriage is really difficult to shirk."

Xiao Haoxuan nodded, of course he knew the importance of the benefits.

"The other party is the twin sons of Empress Xia, Xia Chenyu, and your identity is not bad for you. I heard that he is very handsome, and he is proficient in ancient history and music theory. He is gentle and general. I wanted you to see the portrait before you think about it. "In the end, Xiao Chuyi felt that he was funny, and his words were like a matchmaker.

Xiao Haoxuan shook his head indifferently, "Father, please make an order. I agree to this marriage, so there is no need to think about it."

Xiao Chuyi looked at him for a long while, then nodded, "Okay, the wedding date can be settled in about two months, and then the Ministry of Rites will take care of it, so you don't need to worry about it."

Xiao Haoxuan got up and saluted to thank you, with a calm and breezy appearance, "Thank you, father, for your kindness."

"Well, you should go to Weiyang Palace to see Gu Yao, and it's been a long time since I went to pay my respects." Xiao Chuyi waved his hand to make people retreat.

When Xiao Haoxuan came to Weiyang Palace, he happened to meet Gu Yao who was teaching the four princes and five princesses to study.

The man was not wearing the queen's ceremonial attire, and he was dressed in a green suit to complement the wind.The exquisite brows and eyes were slightly frowned, as if dissatisfied with the copying of the little naughty boys, they knocked two heads each, and smiled helplessly.

Xiao Haoxuan's eyes wandered, but he couldn't move them away.Years seem to have forgotten Gu Yao, this person is still the same as when he first met, beautiful and unreal.

Xiao Haoyuan and Xiao Haojun pursed their mouths, and stretched out their hands to touch their heads at the same time.The expressions of grievance are exactly the same, for fear that others will not know that they are twins.

As soon as the two clever ghosts looked up and saw Xiao Haoxuan standing outside the hall, their round eyes lit up, they dropped their brushes, jumped off the chair, and ran towards Xiao Haoxuan with their short legs, "Brother Haoxuan, brother Haoxuan...! "

Xiao Haoxuan slightly bent his phoenix eyes, showing a rare smile, even if the iceberg melted.He picked up the babies who were bumping into his arms, and walked into the inner hall one by one.

"Brother Haoxuan, you haven't come to see us for a long time, I miss you." Xiao Haojun rubbed against Xiao Haoxuan, smiling brightly.

"Brother Haoxuan is very busy going to court." Xiao Haoyuan looked at his sister with contempt.Although he also misses brother Haoxuan very much, it is impossible for him to act like a baby.

Gu Yao came over and pretended to be angry and put the two little guys on the ground, "Don't think that Haoxuan can stop practicing calligraphy when he comes, go to the study and practice calligraphy before coming out."

Haoyuan and Haojun blinked aggrievedly. Although mother is usually very gentle, she never said anything different, even her father was obedient!

Hey, the two turned their heads three times at each step, waved at Xiao Haoxuan, and went into the study to practice calligraphy.

Xiao Haoxuan suppressed his smile, followed Gu Yao to the table and sat down.He knew that this person wanted to send the baby away, and he must have asked about his marriage.

Sure enough, Gu Yao smiled, and said cautiously, "Did your father tell you? The Great Xia Kingdom asked for a marriage."

Xiao Haoxuan nodded, "Well, I have already agreed, Father will immediately send envoys to propose marriage."

Gu Yao was stunned for a moment, lost his smile, and frowned in disapproval, "How can you rush into marriage? I understand your considerations in state affairs, but after all, you are a person who needs to get along day and night, the princess in name. See you first and see you later." ..."

"It's not necessary," Xiao Haoxuan interrupted Gu Yao, "You know I don't have a favorite person, and this year I've already lost the crown, so it's time to accept a concubine."

Gu Yao sighed, Xiao Haoxuan should have gotten married a long time ago, at the age of 20, he should have been the father of several children in ancient times.Gu Yao always thought about freedom in love, and he didn't want to force it to him, but he got the reputation of being an unkind mother.As Haoxuan's mother in name, he doesn't care about his child's marriage, isn't he not doing his duty?

Gu Yao laughed out loud as he thought about it, causing Hao Xuan to look at him suspiciously.

"I know, but at least I can point you to someone I know well, and..."

Xiao Haoxuan received it, "They say that Xia Chenyu is extremely handsome, knowledgeable, gentle and kind, and as the son of a country, he is not bad for me. How can you find a better one?" Xiao Haoxuan didn't say that he didn't care about Xia Chenyu at all. So, he just wants to close the deal.This trick worked for his father, but not for Gu Yao.

Gu Yao curled his lips, Hao Xuan was very stubborn, and made a decision that even ten bulls would not be able to pull back.Gu Yao stopped talking, but he was still eager to protect the calf. The news spread thousands of miles away, and the devil would know whether it was gentle or domineering!

Why didn't Xiao Haoxuan know what was going on in his heart, he finally smiled and joked, "Okay, hurry up and prepare the betrothal gift, and you'll know if you're pretty when you get married."

Gu Yao rolled his eyes, and just about to refute, the two little guys rushed out one after the other.

"Mother, we're done writing!"

"Brother Haoxuan, why don't you accompany us to see the horses!"

"Yeah! Go with Brother Nianyi and Sichu!"

Xiao Haoxuan stood up and nodded to Gu Yao, who waved helplessly, and then he picked up Haoyuan and Haojun and went out.

Gu Yao anxiously looked at the distant figure.

Forget it, Haoxuan is no longer the child who needed his own protection back then.Maybe marrying a princess will make Prince Xuan's mansion no longer deserted.
