The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

The envoys from various countries left Kyoto on a sunny day in winter.

At the palace banquet before leaving the capital, Emperor Jingde recalled the Tubo prince's proposal to Princess Gaoche, and asked Princess Gaoche: "Princess, have you found any other men in the Jin Dynasty who are suitable? If they are suitable, I can also be a matchmaker for you."

Princess Gaoche's mind flashed with the handsome face and figure of the Rouran prince, but her expression remained expressionless.

She stood up and thanked Emperor Jingde, saying, "Although we in Gaoche are not like the Great Jin, where marriage is decided by parents. However, I think your Dajin people's insistence is not completely unreasonable. I thought about it, my father and mother are older than me, so they must be better at judging people. So I decided to ask my father and mother for their opinions after returning to Gaoche, and then let my father arrange a marriage for me."

The Gaoche envoy translated these words to Emperor Jingde.

Emperor Jingde nodded with satisfaction. When he returned to his country, he would most likely look for a son-in-law among the Gaoche people, thus avoiding the worry of marrying into a neighboring country.

He said: "In this case, I wish the princess to find a good match and the king of Gaoche to find a good son-in-law."

Wu Ya bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your blessing, Your Majesty."

The Tubo prince almost crushed the wine glass, staring angrily at Amugu who was sitting at the seat of the Rouran envoy, his eyes emitting a venomous light. Although he did not see clearly the person who took the Gaoche princess away that night, his intuition told him that the person was Amugu.

When he returns to Tubo, he will definitely find a way to make this person pay for his mistake!

That day, Xiao Liu'er was bored behind the counter of the jewelry store.

Hua Manxi saw her like this when she entered the store, walked up to her and knocked on the counter in front of her.

A few thumps brought Xiao Liu'er back to reality. Seeing that it was Hua Manxi, she showed some joy on her face and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Hua Manxi replied: "I have a distant cousin who is getting married soon, and I want to pick a gift for her as a wedding present."

Then he asked Xiao Liu'er, "What's wrong with you? I see you look a little depressed."

Xiao Liu'er was thinking about her brother in her heart, and she didn't know when they would meet again after today's separation.

But her identity as a Rouran princess could not be made public for the time being, otherwise, she would not be able to explain the long time she had spent as a maid in Prince Yan's mansion. The Emperor of Jin was a suspicious person and might arrest her as a Rouran spy.

She knew that the Crown Princess would not think of her this way, but she did not want to cause more trouble for her.

She couldn't even tell Hua Manxi her true identity, nor could she share her depression with him.

She shook her head at Hua Manxi and said, "It's nothing, probably because of the weather."

Hua Manxi looked outside. The weather in winter was indeed gloomy. It was said that girls were more sentimental, so Xiao Liu'er was probably unhappy because of the weather.

After thinking for a while, he said to her: "The only way to relieve worries is to drink Du Kang. Come on, I'll treat you to a drink. After drinking a pot of pear blossom white wine, I guarantee that all your bad moods will disappear."

Xiao Liu'er was pulled out of the counter by him. She shouted to the clerk in the shop, "I'm going to be out for a while, keep an eye on the store." Then she was pulled out of the jewelry shop by Hua Manxi.

Hua Manxi took Xiao Liuer to a pub they had both been to before.

This tavern mainly supplies some big restaurants. The store itself is not spacious, with only a few small tables, each with a small stove for warming wine.

Hua Manxi took Xiao Liu'er to sit down at a table, asked the boss for a plate of peanuts and a dish of crispy pork, and then started drinking and eating snacks with Xiao Liu'er.

By the time it got dark, Xiao Liu'er was already drunk and dizzy.

Hua Manxi was a little surprised, as he had never seen Xiao Liuer drunk before.

He could only helplessly carry the person on his back through the alley towards Prince Yan's Mansion, feeling extremely at ease in his heart.

As he walked, he heard the person on his back mumbling something. The voice sounded familiar, like the Rouran language. He couldn't hear it clearly. He shook his head and thought he must be drunk - how could Xiao Liu'er speak the Rouran language?

After carrying the person back to Prince Yan's Mansion, Xie Zhichan took the person back with a smile, looked at Hua Manxi and said with a smile: "When are you going to come to Prince Yan's Mansion to propose marriage?"

Hua Manxi said shyly, "We have to choose a good day to propose, let's wait until next spring. I will save more money, add the dowry left by my mother, and some of the property of the bride, and I will guarantee to give my daughter a decent betrothal gift."

Xie Zhichan nodded with satisfaction and said, "I plan to take Xiao Liu'er as my adopted sister. If she marries the adopted sister of the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Yan's Mansion into the Hua family as a daughter-in-law, it will not bring disgrace to your Hua family."

Hua Manxi said: "I don't care about her identity. But since it is the kindness of the Crown Prince's Consort, I still thank her."

The light snow in winter gradually turned into heavy snow.

All the roads in the capital were covered with heavy snow, and even the swings in Tingxueju were weighed down by a heavy pile of snow.

Xie Zhichan was sitting in front of the bedroom window, looking at the white snow in the yard.

Pei Yi walked behind her, put his arm around her waist, put his head on her shoulder, and asked, "Ayuan, what are you worried about?"

Xie Zhichan said: "The snow is a bit too heavy."

Pei Yi glanced at the snow in the yard and said, "This year's snow is heavier than in previous years. I'm afraid the people in Northern Xinjiang will have a hard time."

Both of them fell silent and stopped talking.

The people in the northern border had a hard time, but what about the Turkic people? If they didn't have food for the winter, they would raise their scimitars and come to the Central Plains to rob.

The remote northern border is shrouded in darkness.

In an ordinary small village, after a burst of barking dogs, various wailing sounds from men, women, the elderly and children were heard in the village.

People wearing Rouran, Gaoche, and Tibetan costumes raised their swords and chopped at ordinary people in a small village in the Central Plains. Then they emptied the village and burned it to ashes.
