Chapter 318 Princess Yan

"Close the door!" The mysterious woman who entered the hall whispered.

Niu Youdao was taken aback, is it appropriate for this lonely man and widow to live in the same room and close the door? However, he still closed the door of the main hall.

closed? Linghuqiu and the others who were looking at this side looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what was going on mysteriously.

In the house, no one knew who this mysterious woman was, and Niu Youdao didn't know how to address her for a while.

The mysterious woman got her hands out of the cloak, supported the hijab, and slowly opened the hijab backwards, revealing the shameful face of a closed moon, with a graceful and weak appearance, she seemed young and younger than herself, but There is a sense of maturity different from age in the eyebrows and eyes, as well as an innate nobility.

Although this woman was beautiful, Niu Youdao didn't know her at all, and asked doubtfully, "Who is the girl?"

The mysterious woman asked back: "Didn't the chief executive tell you?"

Niu Youdao: "No, he just said that a man from Yan State wanted to see me."

The mysterious woman said: "My surname is Shang, and my name is Xue."

business? Yan country's national surname! Niu Youdao was startled again, thinking that the person specially introduced by Neng Buxun, the chief executive, should not be an ordinary person, he asked suspiciously: "Are you from the royal family of Yan Kingdom?"

Shang Xuedao: "My husband is Haohong, the second prince of the Qi Kingdom, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom is my father. I have been married to the Qi Kingdom for four years."

Princess Yan? Niu Youdao was stunned, Shang Jianxiong's daughter, isn't Shang Chaozong related to this cousin?

Looking at the clothes on the other party, although the person is beautiful, the clothes are already the clothes of grassland nobles.

Shang Xue added, "What? Don't you think I don't look like it?"

"No, no, I have seen Your Highness the Princess." Niu Youdao came to his senses and hurriedly bowed, and then said with a smile, "I just think the Princess looks young, but I didn't expect to have been married to Qi State for four years."

Shang Xue said with a smile: "Sir, you really can talk, you are not young anymore, you are already nineteen years old, and you are already the mother of two children."

"..." Niu Youdao was speechless, isn't nineteen young? Already had two children at the age of nineteen? In other words, married at the age of fifteen.

He tried his best to regain his composure, and then pulled his somewhat confused concepts back to this era. It seems normal for women to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen in this era. Women like Shang Shuqing who don't marry in their early twenties seem like Has become an old woman.

Shang Xue: "Sir, are you going to let me stand and talk all the time?"

"Huh? Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please sit up, princess!" Niu Youdao hurriedly stretched out his hand to invite.

Shang Xue moved to the upper position, sat down slowly, and sighed with emotion: "In the 520th year of the martial calendar, Yan Guo and South Korea were at war, and my father married me to Qi Guo, and it has passed in the blink of an eye. After four years, I haven't been back to the country of Yan since then, and I can only wander in my mind about the old country, and I don't know what the father and mother are doing now."

A young and mature look.

Yan and Han at war? Niu Youdao understood that this should be the princess who was married to Qi State when she got married. It is said that Emperor Yan married several daughters at the same time.

"Princess seeing me this time, what order do you have?" Niu Youdao asked.

Shang Xue: "Are you from my cousin? I heard that my cousin Shang Chaozong had some conflicts with my father."

Niu Youdao said hehe: "This is your family matter, I don't know very well. You and the prince should be familiar with each other, right?"

The implication is that you know your family affairs yourself, and you still use it to ask me?

Shang Xue nodded: "It's not so familiar, it should be said that I have paid attention to my cousin, and my cousin may not have paid much attention to me, and there are so many princesses, and my cousin may not have paid attention to all of them. I have been in the army for a long time. My father and emperor have many sons and daughters. I am only the daughter of a concubine. Speaking of being a princess, I may not be as good as the daughter of Uncle Ning who holds a heavy army. There are many princesses, but King Ning who holds a heavy soldier has only one daughter. You can imagine how important it is."

"I remember that back then, my mother and concubine often warned me that my father would be courteous when I saw Uncle Ning Wang, so that I should not be rude to my cousins ​​and lower my posture when I saw my cousins. In fact, it is not just me, the concubine princess Seeing my cousin, I am afraid none of them would be polite. Uncle King Ning held the most powerful army in the country of Yan. Later, Uncle King Ning died, and his general Shao Dengyun rebelled, which led to South Korea's attack on the country of Yan. As a result, I was married to Qi State, if Uncle Ning Wang is still alive, my fate may be different."

In Niu Youdao's eyes, there has never been an absolute good person or an absolute bad person. Many things have different positions, and their understanding of right and wrong is also different. The emperor's wife and daughter have to behave with their tails between their legs. One can imagine the mood and understand the worries. But looking at the emperor from the standpoint of Prince Ning and his son, it is estimated that he is worried and angry.

However, from his personal standpoint, each is his own master, he still helped Shang Chaozong complain, "Before the princess got married, the prince seemed to have been imprisoned by His Majesty in the sky prison, and almost lost his life!"

The implication is that Shang Dynasty Zong is worse than you.

Shang Xue: "This is exactly the purpose of my coming here. The world is in turmoil, countries are vying for hegemony, and the fates of many people in the world are ups and downs because of this. No matter what happened in the past, everyone is a family in the end. Father, don't you?" I hope that the country of Yan will fall apart. Is it what my cousin likes to see? We are all a family, why bother to fight to the death and let outsiders take advantage of it? I will persuade my father and my cousin. I also hope that my husband will persuade me more, don’t Do what makes the loved ones hurt the hated ones..."

The two talked for a long time, and it didn't end until late at night. Shang Xue gave Niu Youdao a token, and then got up to leave.

Niu Youdao personally sent the man out of the door.

Before leaving, Pei Sanniang looked at Niu Youdao again with deep meaning, and she couldn't understand the changes. First, Bu Xun came to look for him, and then the princess came to see him.

After seeing off the guests and returning to the mansion, Linghu Qiu followed him like a shadow and asked, "The visitor is mysterious, who is it?"

Niu Youdao: "Princess Shang Xue."

Linghu Qiu asked in surprise, "Shang Xue, wife of the second prince Haohong?"

"Second brother is really well-informed." Niu Youdao smiled and asked, "What is the current situation of this princess in Qi?"

Linghuqiu: "I haven't paid much attention to it, and I don't know too well. I don't think it will be too sad. After all, she is the daughter of Emperor Yan. Yan is still a big country with as much power as her mother's family. Qi has no reason to abuse her. But this The second prince is a strong contender for the position of the eldest prince. The reserve position of Qi State has not yet been determined. Have you ever heard of Shang Youlan, the empress dowager of Zhao State? Once the second prince takes the position, this woman might have One day she will become the Queen of Qi, and possibly the second Shang Youlan!"

Hearing this, Niu Youdao was thoughtful.

Shang Xue is here to be a peacemaker, hoping that Shang Jianxiong will make peace with Shang Chaozong.

Therefore, it also made him understand Bu Xun's intention to find him. Hao Yuntu obviously didn't want the Yan Kingdom to be in chaos at this time, and he was probably controlling the situation through various channels, otherwise he would not have found him.

At first, he only thought that Shang Xue's coming here was Hao Yuntu's intention, but he didn't expect that the competition for the crown prince of Qi State would also be involved in it!

Now it seems that Shang Xue's persuasion with all her heart is not only for the stability of Yan State, but also for the consideration of her own interests in Qi State.

Hao Yuntu didn't want chaos in Yan country, Shang Xue didn't want chaos in Yan country, naturally Shang Jianxiong didn't want chaos in Yan country, and Shang Chaozong didn't want to see it either.

However, there are some things that Shang Chaozong is afraid of. The people under Shang Chaozong and Tianyu Gate will probably push Shang Chaozong forward. As for whether the merchants' clans will fight each other, it is not something they care about. Everyone Each has its own interests.

Even if he is a good man, why would he take the risk to get war horses here? I also hope to push the Shang Dynasty to move forward. If the Shang Dynasty does not move forward and the little rich will be safe, Qingshan County will face annihilation sooner or later, which is also a huge threat to Niu Youdao. It can't keep him forever, this is not what he wants to see.

Shang Chaozong embarked on this road, already involuntarily.

Niu Youdao knew in his heart that even if Shang Jianxiong wanted to live in peace, he couldn't do it. Once the conditions were met, the Shang Chaozong would capture Nanzhou sooner or later.

He didn't believe that Hao Yuntu couldn't see this, but this Hao Yuntu gave him a horse on the one hand, and let Shang Xue to be a peacemaker on the other hand, what the hell was going on.

His layout is limited, and the situation of various countries has not been seriously considered in his mind, so it is a bit unclear.

However, after this, his gaze has already started to rise involuntarily, and his mind has begun to wander between countries.

"But let's not say that the Wu Dynasty has been disintegrated for hundreds of years, but the hidden royal status of the Shang family in the hearts of the people of the world is still there. It's like a messy calendar that cannot be unified. What everyone talks about is actually the martial calendar. And Everyone knows that merchant women are beautiful. The merchant's lineage is so strong that no one can match it. Of course, the younger sister of your prince is an exception. In addition, the merchant woman is the descendant of the number one person in the world. People There is an invisible aristocratic woman in my heart, so it seems that there are quite a few people who like to marry a woman from the Shang family, who can show their identity and status..."

Linghu Qiu chattered for a while, and finally got to the point, "By the way, what does this princess want from you?"

"It's fine. She hasn't been back since she left the country of Yan. I heard that I came from the country of Yan, and I miss my home country. In addition, my prince is her cousin. He came to chat with me and asked about the affairs of the country of Yan." Niu Youdao gave him a sideways glance, dropped his words and left.

What should be said, what should not be said, he has his own discretion, he just wants to hang him like this, pick the most important ones to hang.

"..." Linghu Qiu stared blankly at the spot, cursing secretly in his heart, it's almost like cheating ghosts, the dignified princess, staying in the same room with you lonely man and widow at night, just to chat?

Hongxiu leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Sir, it's the chief executive and this concubine again, they must be plotting something shady."

"Hey!" Linghu Qiu sighed softly, "I can understand... It seems that if you want to win this guy's trust, you don't have enough time!"
