Chapter 60 The Childless Emperor 59

Not only was her figure out of shape and she was physically exhausted, but she also worried about her child and her husband's evasive eyes. All these things would make the princess' mood fluctuate, and her body would feel even more uncomfortable due to her unstable emotions.

Under this vicious cycle, the princess's mansion had not been at peace for a long time, and the prince consort came back even less often.

Doctor Li has already warned that if this continues, there is a high possibility that the situation like Xu Chengqian will occur again, with difficult labor and a weak child.

How could Yu Wenyue be willing to accept this? She had paid so much just to have a healthy child. She could not tolerate Cheng Qian's situation happening again.

So, after reason prevailed, she refused the visit from her husband's wife and asked Xiangling not to tell her any news about him, and she must give birth to the child safely.

In retrospect, it really worked. The princess' mood was no longer up and down, and in order to supplement the nutrition for the child, she was willing to eat and drink, forced herself to eat small meals frequently, and drank bowls of medicine. Finally, she managed to hold on until the birth!

The princess has been staying at home to take care of her pregnancy for a while now, and she didn't even care about the news that the Northern Di delegation was coming to Beijing.

The peace talks ended successfully. Beidi used a large sum of money to redeem the third prince Tuoba Yan and the territory, and compensated for the war losses. The two countries also discussed alliance and trade matters. Generally speaking, Da Qi won a great victory this time!

Emperor Yuwen Ze was in a good mood and hosted a banquet for the King of Beidi in the palace.

The palace was decorated with lights and was magnificent, like a dream castle. The maids moved lightly between the palace and served the guests wine and food, like beautiful butterflies dancing. Yuwen Ze and the King of Beidi sat opposite each other, chatting and laughing, like old friends.

The palace was filled with melodious music, singing and dancing, like the sound of heaven, making people intoxicated. The guests and hosts enjoyed the joyful atmosphere to the fullest, as if they had forgotten all the troubles in the world and immersed themselves in a sea of ​​happiness.

After three rounds of drinking, the King of Beidi's face flushed, and he looked at Yuwen Ze with a little drunkenness, saying, "Your Majesty, I have an unreasonable request."

Yu Wen Ze put down his wine glass and looked at him with interest, his eyes full of anticipation.

The King of Beidi continued, "For the sake of the permanent peace between our two countries, I would like to present my daughter Tuoba Jiao to Your Majesty, and I hope that our two countries can form a marriage alliance."

Yuwen Ze smiled slightly, with a hint of understanding in his eyes. When he received the message from Su Mu saying that there was a woman in the delegation, he had already guessed this in his mind, and it turned out to be just as he expected.

He looked at the King of Beidi and said, "I appreciate the King of Beidi's kindness, but this matter still needs to be considered carefully."

At this time, Tuoba Jiao, the princess of Beidi, walked into the palace. She was graceful and beautiful, like a blooming flower, exuding a charming fragrance. She took off her veil, walked towards Yuwen Ze, knelt down and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, Tuoba Jiao is willing to marry and contribute to the peace between the two countries. May Daqi and Beidi be reconciled forever, and the people can live and work in peace and no longer be troubled by war."

Yuwen Ze stared at Tuoba Jiao, secretly admiring her bravery and intelligence. He stood up, helped Tuoba Jiao up, and said, "The princess has a heart for the world, which is admirable. I will carefully consider the matter of marriage."

The atmosphere in the palace became increasingly tense, as if it was about to freeze. When Tuoba Hong, the King of Beidi, saw this scene, he secretly wondered how to break the deadlock.

In a moment, he made a major decision and prepared to increase his stakes.

Tuoba Hong stood up, looked at Emperor Yuwen Ze of Da Qi with a firm gaze, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, to celebrate the upcoming alliance between our two countries, I am willing to offer a hundred fine horses. These horses will become my daughter's dowry and be given to Da Qi!"

This statement shocked everyone present, especially the ministers. They knew that these 100 fine horses were of great significance to Da Qi. If they could get these 100 fine horses, Da Qi would be able to breed better horses than the ones it currently had, and horses that could rival those of Bei Di!

After that, on the battlefield, Da Qi, with its own cavalry, will be even more powerful.

After hearing this proposal, the ministers present began to discuss it.

Some people thought this was a rare opportunity for Da Qi to obtain a batch of high-quality war horses; while others worried that accepting this gift would bring more trouble.

However, everyone understood that the Northern Di people had great ambitions, but if this proposal was rejected, it might cause dissatisfaction among the Northern Di people and even affect the relationship between the two countries.

At this time, Gu Taifu stood up, saluted Yuwen Ze and Tuoba Hong in turn, and said, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the King of Beidi is so sincere, the princess is such a smart and outstanding woman, and she is so destined to be with your Majesty, the two of them are a perfect match!"

As the Queen's father, Gu Chenyan had already spoken up and offered a ladder, so Yuwen Ze followed suit and said, "Since the King of Beidi is so sincere, for the sake of the alliance between the two countries and eternal friendship, follow my order..."

Under the temptation of huge profits, Yuwen Ze finally compromised. He did not bother to consider what the King of Beidi was actually trying to do. He just wanted to fight again.

Finally, Tuoba Jiao entered the palace with a dowry of 100 horses and became the concubine of the Emperor of Daqi. She was named Li Fei and granted the residence of Lizhu Palace. However, it was not until the second day after she entered the palace, when she went to meet the Queen, that she learned a shocking fact: the Emperor of Daqi actually already had a prince, and this prince was the legitimate son of the Queen. This news was completely inconsistent with the intelligence they had received before, which made Tuoba Jiao realize that their original plan had to be significantly adjusted.

After returning to her palace, Tuoba Jiao immediately ordered her men to pass this important information to Tuoba Hong so that he could understand the situation in time and take corresponding measures. At the same time, she also began to think about how to deal with the new situation and re-strategize to ensure the interests of herself and the country.

Post

After receiving the letter from his daughter, Tuoba Hong also received a letter from an old friend, along with a familiar crescent-shaped jade pendant.

This jade pendant suddenly brought his thoughts back to twenty years ago, when he was still a young boy and came to this country for the first time with his father. At that time, he was young and full of curiosity about this country, but he didn't like to be followed by others all the time, so he often left his entourage and accompanying personnel behind and wandered around the capital alone.

Once, he met a young man of the same age as himself, and they hit it off immediately and had a great time talking. The young man was named Gao Yue, a nobleman of Da Qi who ran away from home because he was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by his family.
