Pick all the cold branches

When he entered the palace with Jia Yu, Su Ge Bala always resisted.

It wasn't until Jiayu told her story that she suddenly understood that Jiayu just needed her to make an excuse for this trip, and she had no other meaning of existence other than that.

When the Han emperor came to Chengqian Palace, Concubine Wan Gui was caught off guard and hid her behind a screen.She hid behind this screen and heard every word clearly.

She felt more and more that she didn't understand Han Chinese very well.

They are obviously father and son, but why do they need to use so much effort?

They are obviously husband and wife, but why is there so much indifference and estrangement?

Her brother would often reprimand her as well, despising that she was just a woman and not qualified to participate in the conversations and events of men.

She has never been dissatisfied.

What about women?

Like women, galloping horses, bending bows and shooting eagles, women can also use their wits to subdue these self-proclaimed mighty men.

Think about how smart and brave Mrs. Manduhai is, and sister Yabahudulu is also proud and noble. Without their help, how could he have the great achievements of his brother's dominance of the grassland?

So she would contradict her brother.If her brother made her unhappy, she would not make him happy either, and would always tell him to bow his head in despair or walk away with a blue face and yelled "Wow".

But most of the time, her elder brother just said that, and he just insisted on taking advantage of it to save face.In fact, her brother loves her very much.Although this kind of love may not be what she wants, it does not hinder the relationship between their brothers and sisters in the slightest.

But she saw the two wives of the Han emperor lying on the ground and shivering like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they didn't even dare to make a sound while weeping.

So humiliating.

It's unimaginable for such a thing to be placed on her body.

Jiashou was the only one who thought about helping his mother up.This subconscious action suddenly made Su Ge Bala feel good about this young man who didn't look at him very seriously.

She looked carefully at the boy who was hugging his mother through the gap in the screen.

Compared with the majestic warriors she was used to, Jiashou was really "as weak as a chicken" as her brother said.His appearance hasn't even fully grown yet, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, fleshy cheeks, and two immature canine teeth showing in a grin.

He is obviously not the smartest or bravest among his brothers, and he is not even the most sharp-eyed, and he often makes many jokes at a loss.But there is another kind of warm light on his body, which is clean and pure, which makes people unbearable to criticize.

Is this who she is going to marry?

For the Mongols, it is not a big deal for a wife to help a young husband, not to mention that they are actually about the same age.

Maybe in a few years, when he really grows up, he too will be a strong and handsome man.

It's just that she had never thought about it carefully before.

Unlike some other Mongolian girls, Su Gebala did not object to marrying a Han.

When the girl was throbbing dimly, she also silently yearned for a Han man. In her eyes full of love, he was handsome, tough, omniscient, and omnipotent.

But that person said to her: You are very good, but I already have another person in my heart.

She once thought that the so-called "belonging elsewhere" was just an excuse for "dislike".But when she left the grassland with him, came to the strange Middle Earth, and finally saw with her own eyes the "one and only" person he put in his heart, she suddenly realized.

Everything is traceable, and everything has been explained as it should be. It seems unreasonable, but it fits perfectly.

The strange thing is that she didn't seem to be struggling with the pain, but accepted it very calmly.

Things like fate are really mysterious and cannot be forced.

He's fine, and the people he loves are fine, and that's fine.

His thoughts suddenly drifted away, Su Ge Bala slightly retracted his gaze, and glanced at Jiashou again.

This young man also silently liked her, and would always look at her eagerly.That gaze always subtly made her feel a little bit guilty and uneasy, as if there was some unresponsive expectation that made her just want to run away quickly.

But she was going to marry him.

Can she really do it...?

Su Ge Bala lowered his eyes a little uneasy, and subconsciously clenched his fists behind the screen.

She heard the emperor of Han speak.

"Where is the little Tartar princess? Call her out."

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Wan Gui seemed very hesitant and afraid, she only looked at the screen where she was placed, but dared not tell her whereabouts.

Following Wan Guifei's line of sight, the emperor took a clear look at the screen, "Come out, don't hide."

She didn't want to hide here at first.

Su Ge Baba directly pushed a screen and turned it out.

What an inconceivable girl she was. Although she was still wearing the blue dress of an ordinary court lady in order to hide her eyes, she still couldn't hide the radiant light.

But she stood in front of the emperor with her head held high, like a proud white deer, she didn't have the slightest intention of kneeling down to worship.

Jiashou's eyes lit up immediately, obviously wanting to go up and grab her, but he didn't dare, so he could only look longingly at his father.

The emperor looked at this proud Tatar girl, and then at his son and concubine who were still kneeling on the ground, and suddenly felt extremely glaring.

"You all get up too. Give me your seat." He called with a sullen face.

Jiashou was as happy as falling from the sky, and quickly helped his mother Concubine Liu to get up, and then Concubine Wan Gui, not forgetting to beat his numb knees.

The palace people sent soft stools.

Originally, Jiashou wanted to go to Su Ge's side, but his father cleared his throat and gave him a hard look, so he had to give up.

The emperor once again looked at Suge Baba carefully.

Perhaps because of living in the grassland for a long time, compared with the pampered women of the Celestial Dynasty in the palace, this Mongolian girl's skin is not fair and soft, but her eyebrows and eyes are very bright, with a sweetness that is different from coquettishness, and an atmosphere other than tenderness.

The emperor used to only hear that the Tatars harassed the border and snatched Han women, so he thought that the Tatars were barbaric and primitive. He never thought that there were such beautiful flowers on the grassland.

He also heard Zhang Siyuan talk about the brilliant achievements of the little Tatar princess when she fought against the Japanese pirates that day.Such a woman, if she is not voluntary, Qilang may not be able to surrender her.

The emperor glanced at his youngest son again, and saw that Jiashou was like a dog who could only see the fleshy bones but couldn't get close to him. His whole body was tense on the stool, and he was exuding an anxious breath from top to bottom.

It's true that once the muddleheaded boy grew up and knew he wanted a wife, he just couldn't hold back.No way.

The emperor couldn't help frowning, sighed heavily in his heart, and asked Su Geba: "Would you like to marry my Qilang, so that the two countries can be married?"

Whether as an emperor or as a father, he actually really wanted to know the answer.The kingdom of heaven, the country of etiquette, naturally cannot force a woman to dedicate herself to marriage like the barbarian border country.Of course he hoped that the child Jiashou would find a good match and be happy with each other.

But in the ears of Suge Bala, this is not the case at all.

Just now behind the screen, Su Gebala saw that the Han emperor was moody and rude to his wife, and he already had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.She only felt that the Han emperor was putting on airs, but she didn't really care what she thought.

If you don't care, why ask.

She didn't want to please him either.

"If you ask me about my sincerity at this moment, of course I don't want to. I don't have any love for your son that I want to marry."

She raised her face and answered frankly.

The emperor frowned even more when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, he just stared at her.

On the contrary, Jiashou was stunned for a long time, and his whole body quickly became sluggish, shrinking into an aggrieved ball.

It looked like a puppy abandoned by its owner, ready to cry at any moment.

Brother Su saw it, and for some reason, suddenly couldn't bear it.

Her original intention was not to hurt this innocent and lovely boy.

What's more, she can't go back.She must marry him.

Brother Su let out a sigh of melancholy, lowered his eyes slightly, and continued: "But if this marriage can prevent the two countries from killing each other and enable the people of the two countries to live in harmony and recuperate, then I am willing. I am willing to marry your son and be a bond of peace, which is also sincere."

"Are you willing to treat your life as a deal?" A suspicion flashed in the emperor's eyes.

"Maybe now. But if your son can conquer my heart, it won't be in the future." Su Gebala raised his eyebrows proudly, met the emperor's scrutiny, and asked almost provocatively: "Are you concerned about your son?" Does your son have no confidence?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the bright-eyed girl, remained silent for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed.

"Qilang, listen to it. Concubine Liu, listen to it too."

He turned to look at Concubine Liu and Jiashou with a lot of meaning.

Jiashou's entire face was flushed from the suffocation, and his eyes were about to go straight.

Concubine Liu didn't dare to say anything, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Seeing Jiashou's bright red face, Su Gebala continued to speak: "On our grassland, a mighty warrior would hunt the most cherished beasts, and dedicate their bones and skins to his favorite girl as a gift. A token of engagement."

The emperor nodded and said: "We Han people also have three books and six ceremonies to hire wild geese."

"I don't need the seventh prince's betrothal gift, but can I ask you for one thing?" Su Ge Bala immediately answered decisively.

"Nowadays, due to the war, the two countries are strictly forbidden to trade. But every year, there are still many caravans of Han people who risk their lives to break through the ban, come to do business with us Mongolians, and exchange money, grain and tea for horses. If I marry your son , can I ask you to revoke the ban and allow trade on the border between the two countries? In this way, your people will no longer have to cover up, and can openly sell silk, tea, porcelain and other things that only China has to the north and the north In more distant places, our herdsmen can also sell the horses, wool, and milk tea milk cakes on the grassland to the Central Plains, and even learn Chinese culture."

This was what she had thought about a long time ago. In fact, she had never thought about asking for a dowry gift. Her ambition was far too high.

The emperor looked at the girl in shock.

She looked a little younger than his youngest son, but what she thought and said, Jiashou was hard to follow.

But opening up trade is a major event, and the cabinet must discuss it before making a decision. Even if he is the emperor, he can't promise her casually.

"Among all the requests made by your brother, this one is not included." The emperor responded noncommittally.

"This is my request."

Brother Su was not guilty at all, he still held his head high.

"My elder brother is the Great Khan who ruled the grassland. Your son defeated him. Although he admits defeat, he will never admit defeat. So he asked you for food, money, and treasures to save face. Once in the future, Once he catches this breath, he will raise the flag again and win again. My brother thinks war is a man's glory and merit. But I don't think so. I hope not only in my life, but in all generations, we always There is no need to fight anymore. Let our people be friendly neighbors, treat each other well, and live a better life together."

When she said this, her eyes shone brightly, as if she had seen a beautiful vision.That look made her whole body seem to be glowing.

The emperor once again looked at Suge Baba carefully.

"Who taught you these things? I have also dealt with the Tatars for many years. You Tatars believe that the wolf eats the sheep. The wolf will not want to be friends with the 'two-legged sheep'. I will kill them all this year." I'm just afraid that I won't be able to eat next year." He suddenly asked her.

Brother Su was slightly taken aback.

In fact, there is no deliberate teaching.

But at that time, she often chatted with Brother Zhen about these things, about her unsolvable confusion and vague expectations, and Brother Zhen would tell her that there is a way that will surely bring peace to all generations.It was her dream hometown.

Maybe this is just precepts and deeds.

But why did the emperor of the Han people suddenly ask?

This person killed all of Big Brother Zhen's family members, she knew it.

So can she tell him everything about Brother Zhen?If she said it, would it be detrimental to Big Brother Zhen?

Brother Su thought for a moment, "I'm afraid His Majesty won't want to hear this person's name."

"It's Zhen Xian."

The emperor had no surprise on his face.

"What did Zhen Xian do when he was with you?" He continued to ask her.

Brother Su's eyes flickered, and he curled his lips slightly, "I didn't do anything, my brother always scolded him, thinking he was ignorant of current affairs, 'Su Wu shepherds the sheep'."

The emperor asked again: "Why did he teach you these things?"

Brother Su thought for a while, "Because Big Brother Zhen said that he hoped my brother would 'never go south'."

This little girl is so smart and careful.

She is protecting Zhen Xian.

The emperor suddenly felt curious.

His impression of Zhen Xian was still that of the handsome young man handpicked by Tanhua in the Golden Luan Hall back then.

What kind of person, what kind of ability, can conquer people's hearts so easily?

Not only Jiafei, but also the princess of Mengyuan, and even Jiashou praised him non-stop, "Mr. Zhen".

But thinking about it carefully, he is Yun Li's son after all, so there's nothing strange about it.

Or should I say, as expected of Yunli's son...

Feeling melancholy suddenly, the emperor looked dignified and sighed slowly.

"'Never Go South.' Do you think it's possible?"

Brother Su Bala thought for a moment, then asked: "It is impossible for people to live forever, but will you not want to live hard because of this?"

She is right, people always have desires, and it is impossible to completely sever their obsessions. They want a living person to be completely rational, and never do things that they know are impossible, even if they are impossible.

On the contrary, sometimes, knowing that you can't do it is the ultimate courage.

The emperor smiled wryly for a moment.

He suddenly understood Jiayu's real intention to take Su Gebala into the palace.

If it wasn't arranged by Jiayu, he might not be interested in summoning this marriage tool from the grassland at all, and naturally he would have no way of knowing how smart, brave, dignified and beautiful she is.

In this way, Jia Yu is forcing him to face up to it and admit that, on the surface, it may seem that Jia Fei will do things from time to time that are out of line, out of control, or even should not be done at all.But Jia Fei has always been measured and considerate, especially not to hurt his brother seriously.

What's more, he could also see the temperature in Jiashou's eyes.

Those were the yearning and affectionate eyes of the young man.

Jiashou loves this girl so much.

Although these children caused him too many accidents, even troubles, there were also many surprises.

They really have all grown up and started to break free and make a big splash.

This feeling is too complicated, joy mixed with worry, it is difficult to express.

But maybe he can expect that this girl from the grassland may bring about completely different changes to Jiashou.

"I know Mrs. Hai Duman from Tatar. I heard that she once put your brother in a quiver and led him to fight on the grasslands. She helped him kill his enemies and conquer all the tribes. She assisted your husband in accomplishing great things. She is a famous empress. I hope you have her demeanor."

The emperor took a deep look at Suge Bala and Jiashou.

Of course, he said these words after Kai Kai Jiayu.
