Rebirth as the post-GL

"That's very good." Seeing that the prince took the initiative to act, the empress secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she still had nothing to do with Shen Chen, as long as he made a request, she would still unconsciously soften her heart.

When the music sounded again, everyone started clinking glasses and chatting again, intentionally or unintentionally downplaying the stalemate atmosphere just now.

Shen Chen dragged Cangwu Jingyuan back to his seat as if no one was around.

"I really thank you just now." Cangwu Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Shen Chen and said sincerely.

"Thank you, this is what I should do as a father."

Shen Chen picked up the fallen leaves from Cangwu Jingyuan's temples: "Where did you go to play wild again just now, why is your hair so messy?"

Bai Qian also cast a curious look. Cangwu Jingyuan hadn't returned for a long time just now, and she was almost going out to find her, but now that she came back, her body was covered with mud, and her bun was a bit messy. I asked, but because of your nobleman, I didn't speak again.

What happened with Shen Ye just now is obviously not suitable for explaining now, Cangwu Jingyuan waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just accidentally fell down."

Knowing that Cangwu Jingyuan was not telling the truth, Bai Qian was about to ask, but she heard the Queen say: "Shen Ye, what's wrong with you, why are your nose blue and eyes swollen?"

The queen's question made everyone look at Shen Ye, and then everyone noticed that the corners of Shen Ye's mouth and forehead were bruised, and the clothes on his body were also wrinkled, as if he had rolled on the ground.

"Shen Ye, you just went out for a while, why are you in such a mess, what happened?" Shen He couldn't help but ask, he wished that this matter had something to do with Cangwu Jingyuan who just came in.

Shen Ye bent his lips, but accidentally pulled the wound on the corner of his mouth. He took a breath, cupped his hands towards the Queen, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I drank a little too much today. I stumbled over a stone, it's okay."

Guessing a little bit of the whole story, Bai Qian slightly lowered her eyes and looked at Cang Wu Jingyuan, "It's a coincidence that both of you can fall together in this wrestling."

Knowing that Bai Qian must have been thinking wildly again, Cangwu Jingyuan opened her mouth and couldn't explain now, so she could only breathe a sigh of relief and pick up the wine glass to drink.

The queen was not suspicious when she heard his explanation, and joked: "Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise I, Cangwu, would lose another good minister."

Everyone chuckled a few times, and did not avoid Shen Ye's entanglement and looked away.

Prince Beiyuan glanced at Cangwu Jingyuan and Shen Ye with deep meaning, and when he looked at Shen Ye again, there was a bit of hostility. He pondered for a moment and stood up and cupped his hands at Queen Cangwu, saying: "Queen Cangwu, why don't you give up?" To show my sincerity, Beiyuan is willing to cede the three cities of Jiufan, Yangyu and Qinbi to Empress Cangwu as a proof of diplomatic relations between the two countries."

"It seems that Beiyuan is sincerely asking for peace this time." Hearing this, Bai Qian said to Cangwu Jingyuan, "Although the three cities of Jiufan, Yangyu, and Qinbi are not the core towns of Beiyuan, they are still very important. Cities and towns. From the geographical point of view, these three cities have traffic on both sides, which is very convenient for trade. If you can master the trade routes of these three cities, it is tantamount to breaking through trade obstacles with other countries.”

Cangwu Jingyuan nodded and said, "From the perspective of military strategy, this Qinbi is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is self-sufficient and has sufficient supplies. It is very beneficial to defend the city. From the perspective of culture, most of Yangyu is from the North Plains. The people of Cangwu live in mixed communities. If this part of the people of Beiyuan can be localized, even if the city is taken back in the future, they will still be resisted. This is really an attractive condition.

"Beiyuan is indeed very sincere." The queen nodded, but she didn't say yes or no, she just said flatly: "But maintaining these three cities will also consume a lot of manpower and material resources of my Cangwu. Investing a lot of military defense, I'm afraid..."

"Empress, don't worry, in addition to these three cities, Beiyuan will also offer some money and jewelry, and I hope the Empress will not be too little."

Empress Cangwu still didn't express her position. She knew that after such a generous gift, there must be conditions.

Sure enough, the prince of Beiyuan said: "Since Cangwu negotiated peace with me in Beiyuan, I also hope that Cangwu will interfere less in Beiyuan's internal affairs in the future. Can the empress agree?"

"If Beiyuan's state affairs are naturally decided by Beiyuan." After receiving an affirmative answer, Prince Beiyuan showed a satisfied smile. He raised his glass and stood up with a smile: "Then I wish the friendship between Cangwu and Beiyuan to last forever." Let’s create a prosperous world together.”

At the end of the banquet, Cangwu Jingyuan wanted to send Bai Qian back, but was stopped by Prince Beiyuan, who made his face even more jade-like, and his eyes were as clear as washed.

Cangwu Jingyuan still wanted to refuse, but he heard him say: "I should leave Beijing and return to Beiyuan in a few days. You said you wanted to go shopping with me last time, but you haven't done it until today. Can the Fourth Princess Cangwu be a People who don't speak words."

Cangwu Jingyuan glanced at Bai Qian with some hesitation, and Bai Qian left first understandingly.

Seeing that no one was bothering him anymore, Prince Lian Mo of Beiyuan looked at Cangwu Jingyuan and said: "Although I am not the most beautiful man in Beiyuan, I am also good-looking. In addition, I have both civil and military skills and a distinguished status. , I don’t know how many daughters of famous families have sharpened their heads and wanted to marry me.”

Hearing someone flattering her without any shyness, the corners of Cangwu Jingyuan's lips twitched, "You want to ask me why I don't want to marry you?"

Prince Beiyuan looked at her noncommittally.

Cangwu Jingyuan lowered her eyes and said lightly: "I don't hate you, but I don't want to marry you either. In order to get something, I have sacrificed a lot. I can no longer gamble my feelings."

"Your words are really bold." Prince Beiyuan seemed to be touched by something: "Since ancient times, the ruthless emperor's family, the world has known that we enjoy all the glory and wealth, but we must be manipulated by others."

Cangwu Jingyuan nodded.

"In your heart, is there someone you can't live up to?" Prince Beiyuan suddenly stopped and looked at Cangwu Jingyuan seriously.

Cangwu Jingyuan thought for a while, and seemed to feel that pointing out this matter could be regarded as dissuading him from thinking about him, and nodded solemnly.

Unexpectedly, Cangwu Jingyuan agreed so quickly, a look of disappointment flashed in Lian Mo's eyes, he looked at her and said, "Is the person you admire Shen Ye?"

Cangwu Jingyuan smiled helplessly and said, "The prince should stop thinking about it and go back to rest."

Hearing this, Lian Mo pretended to be coquettish with a smile and said: "I also think that guy who is not as handsome as this son, and whose face is not as good-looking as the prince, is not good enough for you."

Hearing this, Cangwu Jingyuan finally couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips, this Prince Beiyuan is also a free and easy person, he can afford it and let it go, it would be good to make friends with him.

Lian Mo seemed to feel it too, and he sighed and said, "To be honest, I have traveled all over the world for a long time, and you are the first person who can make me feel relaxed, but since Jing Yuan already has someone I like, I also know One word from you Beiyuan is that a twisted melon is not sweet. But if you can't be a husband and wife, if you are a friend, Jing Yuan shouldn't refuse again!" Lian Mo smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to Cangwu Jingyuan.

Cangwu Jingyuan bent her lips, took Lian Mo's hand and said with a smile: "Jing Yuan also has this intention."

The two of them chatted happily here, but there were two people whose lungs were about to explode.

In the Palace of Fenghua, Shen He was annoyed because the empress blatantly favored Shen Chen at the banquet, while Cangwu Jinxiu was still complaining loudly over there.

Cangwu Jinxiu frowned fiercely, if she lost to Cangwu Lingxue tonight, then she admitted it, after all Cangwu Lingxue has always been excellent.Although he didn't want to admit it, the queen's love for her was as much as her own.

When she saw that the prince Beiyuan was indifferent to Cangwu Lingxue's performance, she was lucky, but she never expected that he would ask the queen to marry Cangwu Jingyuan in the end.

The jewel-like Prince Beiyuan and the fish-like Cangwu Jingyuan are not a good match, and what is even more hateful is that Cangwu Jingyuan dared to reject the Beiyuan Prince.

Cangwu Jinxiu complained beside her for a long time before realizing that her father didn't listen to her words at all, and she shouted angrily: "Father!"

Shen He woke up from his own thoughts, Cangwu Jinxiu thought he would comfort her, but she didn't expect Shen He to say: "You still have the face to complain, I worked hard this time to help you win the job of receiving the mission , thanks to you being the person in charge, let’s see what impression you made on Prince Beiyuan. Either the prince was almost killed by an assassin, or he was almost poisoned to death by someone around you, and you don’t know how to be vigilant. Become the eldest princess!"

Cangwu Jinxiu was overwhelmed by these harsh words, she said a little wronged: "I also want to impress the prince, but that Cangwu Jingyuan has been stealing my limelight. Father, you don't know, that Cangwu Jingyuan Yuan seems to be a completely different person now, she can speak eloquently and understand people's hearts."

"That's enough, don't grow up with other people's ambitions, and destroy your own prestige." Seeing that Cangwu Jinxiu looked like she was about to cry, Shen He sighed helplessly: "Jinxiu, Cangwu Jingyuan now has Shen Xiu behind her back." Chen, we have to be careful when dealing with her now, and Cangwu Jingyuan is not your only enemy, you can't just focus on her."

"Then what should we do now?" Cangwu Jinxiu finally sensed a hint of crisis.

"You don't want to get into trouble any more recently, just concentrate on pleasing the empress, and don't make her suspicious of you. As for the rest..." He narrowed his eyes gloomily, "Father will help you solve it."

Cangwu Jinxiu nodded with a half understanding.

The peace negotiation and marriage proposal finally came to an end, that day Cangwu Jingyuan was burning incense and practicing calligraphy, when she heard a few birdsong from the roof, she knew it well, so she sent Lvhe out.

Seeing all the maids leave, Wuying jumped into the room in a flash, and respectfully said to Cangwu Jingyuan inside the room: "My subordinates will see the princess."

"Excuse me." Cangwu Jingyuan looked at the Wuying who was pretending vigorously and said in a deep voice: "But what did you find?"

"Back to the princess, my subordinates have already found out who was behind the assassination on the day when the mission came."

Seeing that Wuying hadn't finished speaking, Cangwu Jingyuan said with certainty: "It's Cangwu Lingxue, right?"
