famous eldest daughter

Chapter 785
No matter how much the emperor doted on Xiao Yu, he would never let him cause a war between the two countries because of his own joys and sorrows.

But why does Canglan Country do this?

Even if there is a marriage and marriage, does it have to be the direct princess?The status of the direct princess is so noble. Once she marries Xiao Yu and is not treated well, it will be a loss for the entire Canglan Kingdom.

What's more, Xiao Yu's reputation for being unlearned and unruly has long spread throughout the country. The leader of the Canglan Kingdom must have heard about it. How could she be willing to marry her daughter, who represents the royal family's dignity, to such a prince?
Gu Yuqing thought of those people from the Canglan Kingdom's elite camp lurking in Baoding Mansion and the staff of the seventh prince Mo Jin.

Not to mention the extremely high skills of the people in the elite battalion in reconnaissance and espionage, it is not easy to be qualified to be Mo Jin's staff based on Mo Jin's ability alone.

They secretly sneaked into our court and stayed in Baoding Mansion for several days. It was inevitable that they would find out Xiao Yu's details and strength.

Furthermore, if the speculation about Han Chao'en's identity is true, then Han Chao'en will definitely inform the leader of the Canglan Kingdom that the emperor wants to make Xiao Yu his crown prince.

The direct princess of Canglan, no matter how unfavored she was when she married Xiao Yu, she would also be the future queen, with great honor and great power.

Could it be that the other party wanted the new king's position as queen?

Gu Yuqing shook his head again.

Canglan must have made foolproof preparations and arrangements if he was willing to send his princess here. How could they not understand Xiao Yu's temperament? Even now, he has to accept this marriage due to many pressures, but as long as he takes the throne, he will On this day, this marriage that made him suffer all kinds of calculations will definitely be paid back by him twice as much.

And this legitimate princess will be the direct victim, and her fate can be imagined.

After all, no one except himself and Concubine Hui knew the fact that Xiao Yu would never ascend the throne.

The Canglan Kingdom is willing to take risks and play a game with its legitimate princess. If you win, you will gain the most noble status next to the new king. If you lose... you just lose a daughter. It will not affect the entire country's strength. It can be said to do more harm than good. .

Or maybe Canglan Country had other bigger plans that she couldn't think of at the moment!
As her thoughts deepened, Gu Yuqing's heart had already changed from the cold and trembling feeling at the beginning to the current panic.

Like a blind man standing on the edge of a cliff, if he takes one wrong step, he will be doomed.

While thinking, the Princess of Pingxi Palace glanced at Gu Yuqing with a slightly uneasy look. She originally thought that she already knew the news, but now it seems that she has been kept secret.

She sighed deeply and couldn't figure out why Concubine Hui kept it from Gu Yuqing. Could it be that Concubine Hui already had a solution and deliberately didn't tell her because she was afraid that Gu Yuqing would be troubled?
This is not impossible. After all, Concubine Hui sincerely cares for Gu Yuqing. When Gu Yuqing had a typhoid fever a while ago, Concubine Hui even helped her eat vegetarian food for a few days. She sincerely paid homage to the Buddha and asked the Buddha to bless her so that she could recover as soon as possible. This matter, She did it but didn't look like Gu Yuqing mentioned it, which shows her sincerity.

Turning her mind around, the Crown Princess of Prince Pingxi took Gu Yuqing's hand on her arm and said, "In terms of age, if we were to choose from among the princes, the age of the Fourth Highness is the most suitable. Among the others, the oldest is the Ninth Prince. , you are only ten years old this year, so naturally you cannot mention it, but His Royal Highness is engaged to be engaged to you. Your Majesty’s imperial edict is true to his words. No matter how much you consider the overall situation, your Majesty will never go back on the edict he issued. "

"This princess of Canglan, I'm afraid she didn't know about your engagement with the Fourth Highness before she came. If she had known that, with her noble status, she would never agree to be subordinate to others, then she would naturally not agree with the Fourth Highness. Get married."

"What's more, the Queen Mother has always treated you like her own granddaughter, and she will never let a foreign princess bully you. Just relax, it will be fine."

Gu Yuqing had other plans and calculations in her mind, and it was difficult for the Crown Princess of Hepingxi Palace to speak out. So after her words of relief, she pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, "I think so too."

This topic can be regarded as being put aside for the time being, but the conversation is put aside, but it is difficult to let go of the worries in everyone's hearts.

They walked together in silence all the way, and within a moment, they arrived at the inner palace.

I went to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, and sat with her for a while. Then a young palace maid came to announce that the banquet was about to begin.

Gu Yuqing had no choice but to leave together with the princess of Pingxi Palace.

Different from the previous palace banquets, this time in order to welcome the most valued prince of Canglan Kingdom and to show our country's national prestige, the emperor's pomp was extraordinarily grand.

All Kyoto officials, family members and children were invited.

Men and women sat at the same table, facing each other, and there was a huge dance floor in the center. The time had not yet come, and the emperor and the people from the Canglan Kingdom had not yet arrived. The guests took their seats and talked to each other.

The sound of silk and bamboo is full of joy, and the dancers dance with long sleeves and long waists, trying their best to create a festive atmosphere for the banquet.

According to her status, Gu Yuqing was assigned to a group of princesses, princesses and county lords. Among this group of people, Xiao Jingyu was naturally not included. The two princesses beside her were the tenth princess and the eleventh princess.

The two little sisters were whispering. I don't know what the tenth princess said, but the eleventh princess covered her mouth and laughed, and punched her shoulder several times.

Gu Yuqing looked at it and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in her heart. I hope she was too worried about what happened in the mourning hall last time.

Looking away, past the dancer's smoky skirt, Gu Yuqing caught a glimpse of Xiao Ke among the male guests opposite. When she looked over, Xiao Ke happened to be looking towards her. Their eyes met, Xiao Ke Xiyouruowu pursed her lips and smiled, then hurriedly stepped away.

In a flustered heart, Gu Yuqing only felt a little more at ease because of the eye contact with Xiao Ke. In this cold deep palace full of conspiracies and tricks, at least, besides Concubine Hui and the Empress Dowager, she also had Xiao Ke. , her brother, Xiao Ke!

As Gu Yuqing sighed, Xiao Ke, who was sitting opposite her, turned his eyes and fell on Gu Yuqing again. He stared at the sister opposite her. Xiao Ke's hand was lowered under the table and clenched tightly into a fist.

Uncle is not here, and Xiao Yu is not here. He is the only man in the capital who can protect his sister. Without them, he will still protect his sister unscathed.

He had met Canglan's direct princess this morning.

No matter how well-behaved she is or how peerless her appearance is, if Xiao Yu dares to have any undue affection for this legitimate princess, he will definitely make her become a person like the chamberlain from that moment on.

And this princess...

If she is determined to marry Xiao Yu, she doesn't mind fighting to the death and making her a lonely soul in a foreign land.

He came to protect his sister and would never allow anyone to cause her any grievance or embarrassment.
