Ximen Zhanying hesitated for a while, then took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Longtai, and cupped his hands: “Sir, Zhan Ying was lucky enough to win, please think twice about the marriage.”

With a smile on his lips, Longtai asked: “Ximen Zhanying, I have something to say first, if you lose, I will immediately issue an decree to marry you to the Prince of Qi. Now that you have won, I will naturally keep my promise. Do you want to? Marrying in Qi is up to you.” He raised his hand to Duan Shao and asked, “Then are you going to Qi?”

Ximen Zhanying said, “Reporting to the sage, if you can’t keep the oath that Zhanying made back then, you will not believe it.”

Long Tai nodded slightly, but Duan Shao had already smiled and said to Long Tai, “My lord, since Miss Ximen has won, Duan Shao naturally can’t be hard on others.”

“Duan Shao, since you have asked me for marriage, I will naturally consider the alliance between the two countries.” Long Tai asked: “Apart from Ximen Zhanying, can there be another candidate?”

Duan Shao respectfully said: “Duan Shao has not thought about other people.”

“I thought about it for you.” Long Tai said: “There is no princess in the royal family who can go to Qi, so I thought about it, and I can choose a good mate for you from the family of the hereditary marquis.” He glanced at Su Zhen. , said: “Su Aiqing!”

Su Zhen stepped forward in a hurry, cupped his hands and said, “This minister is here!”

“As far as I know, you still have a daughter under your knees, who is the age to leave the cabinet.” Longtai looked solemn: “I want to marry her to the prince of Qi, what do you think?”

Su Zhen was stunned, even the other ministers were stunned.

Su Zhen was stunned for a moment, but immediately fell to his knees and said respectfully, “The marriage granted by the Holy One is the glory of my Su family in Wuxiang. The emperor’s grace is mighty, and all the ministers dare to obey!”

Longtai nodded slightly and said to Duan Shao: “Duan Shao, the daughter of Marquis of Wuxiang is of noble birth and noble character, and she is also the age to leave the pavilion, but I don’t know what you think?”

Duan Shao was also a little surprised, but Qi Ning had already said: “Your Highness, Miss Wuxiang Hou has a beautiful appearance, a gentle temperament, and a knowledgeable and reasonable girl. She is really a good girl out of a thousand miles. The reason why Your Highness asked the emperor to grant marriage was also for the sake of The alliance between the two countries will last forever, and if Su girl becomes the prince concubine of Qi, the two countries will definitely be friends from generation to generation.”

Ximen Zhanying was afraid of marrying Qi, but Su Zhen had another thought.

Among the four hereditary lords of the empire, the Sima family is now at its heyday, and although the people of Jindaotantai act in a low-key manner, the civil and military people of the whole dynasty know the strength of Jindaotantai, even the Jinyi Qi family, although they passed away in Qijing There was a possibility of decline later, but Qi Ning suddenly emerged, and he was highly regarded by the emperor, and even presided over the reconstruction of the Black Scale Camp. No one dared to underestimate the Qi family.

Only the Su family has been in decline since the death of the old Marquis of Wuxiang.

The old marquis was also a famous general of the Chu state back then, and there were naturally many strong soldiers under his command. Unfortunately, Su Zhen had no talent. , and was gradually dissolved by other forces.

The Su family is now only under the shadow of their ancestors and lives a rich and noble life by relying on the fief, and their strength in the court is already minimal.

Su Zhen knew this very well. Back then, when the two old marquis had a baby relationship, Su Zhen originally hoped to rely on the Qi family to maintain his position in the court, but Qi Jing’s death made him feel like a fool. It is impossible for the Prince of Jinyi to take on the important task of maintaining the Qi family of Jinyi. After all, he fell quickly. Because of this, he broke off the marriage of the two families very resolutely.

For him, relying on Su Zixuan’s relatives to cling to more powerful strength is an important means for the Su family in Wuxiang to continue to exist.

Longtai suddenly wanted to marry Su Zixuan to the crown prince of Dongqi. Su Zhen was greatly surprised, and was immediately ecstatic.

Duan Shao has already told Longtai that once he gets married from the state of Chu and returns to the state of Qi, he will immediately be registered as a prince concubine. In other words, he will be the queen of Eastern Qi in the future.

This is for the Su family, who is going downhill,

Undoubtedly a good thing to ask for.

Once the marriage was successful, the Su family became an important link between Qi and Chu, and the status of the Su family in the state of Chu would naturally rise.

At this moment, he was afraid that Duan Xuan would not agree. Seeing what Qi Ning said on the side, although he heard a slight sarcasm, he felt that it was not a bad thing for Qi Ning to say a few words at this time.

Duan Shao Shang didn’t answer, Long Tai had already smiled and said, “If the monarch of the Qi Kingdom knew about this marriage, he would definitely approve it too?”

Duan Shao pondered for a while, and finally turned around, facing Long Tai, and cupped his hands: “Duan Shao thanked the Lord for the marriage!”

Long Tai smiled and said, “That’s very good.” Said loudly: “Pass on my will to give the daughter of the Marquis of Wuxiang to the Prince of Qi as his wife, so as to form a good alliance between the two countries for generations!”

Su Zhen showed excitement, and knelt down on the ground: “Chen Xie, Emperor Longen!”

“Marquis Wuxiang, after my wedding, the Prince of Qi will return to Qi.” Long Tai said solemnly: “There is still time, you should prepare for this matter immediately.” He also wrote to the Ministry of Rites Yuan Lao Shang Shu: “Yuan Lao Shang Shu , Although the time is short, the marriage of Marquis Wuxiang in Qi is also a major event between Qi and Chu, and your Ministry of Rites should prepare quickly.”

Su Zixuan’s marriage to Dongqi is far away, so naturally she can’t talk about the same day as the emperor’s big wedding. Yuan Lao Shangshu bowed and said, “Old minister obeys the order!”

Ximen Zhanying had been kneeling on one knee not far in front of Longtai, and only then did she say, “Your Majesty, Zhanying retire!”

“Wait a minute.” Qi Ning suddenly called out, “Your Majesty, Miss Ximen is very skilled in martial arts, so I just took this opportunity to ask Miss Ximen for some advice and ask the Emperor’s permission.”

The ministers never expected that Qi Ning would suddenly come here, and they were even more surprised. The ministers looked at each other, even Ximen Wuhen seemed a little surprised.

Ximen Zhanying was already about to retire, but when she heard Qi Ning’s words, she froze for a moment, then realized something, her cheeks flushed, she lowered her head, and bit her lips.

Longtai knew it well, and he was amused. What happened today is unknown to others, but Longtai knew that it must be arranged by Qi Ning.

At this time, Qi Ning suddenly proposed to compete with Ximen Zhanying. He naturally understood the purpose. Before, he was planning to marry Ximen Zhanying to Qi Ning. At this time, he deliberately cooperated with Qi Ning in acting, and smiled very tacitly: ” Jin Yihou, do you want to learn martial arts with Ximen Zhanying?”

“That’s right.” Qi Ning said loudly, “Actually, when I went to Xichuan not long ago, when I saw Miss Ximen’s martial arts skills, I told Miss Ximen to find a chance to learn from her. I have a chance today, so I beg the emperor for permission. .”

Longtai made an “oh” and asked Ximen Zhanying, “Ximen Zhanying, Jin Yihou said he had an appointment with you, is there any such thing?”

Ximen Zhanying thought to herself when I had an appointment with you to compete and compete, but how could I say no at this time, and said bravely, “Reporting to the sage, Jin Yihou… Jin Yihou did say it.”

“Jinyihou, when you made an agreement with Ximen Zhanying, you knew the oath Ximen Zhanying once made.” Longtai pretended to be serious: “If you compete against her, you will beat her, but you will marry her.”

“Your Majesty…!” Ximen Zhanying only felt a fever in his cheeks: “Also…it’s not all the same…!”

“Oh, yes, I remember two conditions.” Longtai said with a smile: “In addition to surpassing you in martial arts, I also want you to look good.” Pointing to Qi Ning, he said: “Ximen Zhanying, I ask you , can you see Jin Yi Hou?”

All the ministers thought it was unbelievable, and no one thought that things would develop like this.

Ximen Zhanying was a little annoyed, thinking that even if Qi Ning really wanted to marry her, she shouldn’t be in front of so many ministers.

Duan Shao was also stunned by the side, then frowned, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

“Qining, I ask you, you are going to compete with Ximen Zhanying now, have you ever thought about marrying her?” Longtai was young, but he looked mature and serious.

However, someone next to him laughed and said, “Your Majesty, Jin Yihou wants to compete with Miss Ximen, perhaps just to learn about martial arts, but it is not necessary to marry Miss Ximen. Otherwise, no one can marry Miss Ximen. Be a wife.” Everyone looked over, but the one who spoke was the King of Huainan, who had never said a word.

Qi Ning said with a smile: “My lord, in fact, I have reached the age of marriage. The emperor is about to get married, and the prince of Qi is also going to marry Miss Su, so…so if Miss Ximen really likes me, I will …!” He smiled shyly and didn’t say anything.

The King of Huainan laughed twice and said no more.

Longtai asked Ximen Wuhen, “Ximen Aiqing, you heard what Jin Yihou said, what do you think?”

Ximen Wuhen cupped his hands and said: “Reporting to the sage, the minister promised the little girl back then, as long as it is the person she likes, the martial arts surpasses her, and the minister will not obstruct it. Moreover, Jin Yihou is young and promising. , both civil and military, as long as the little girl is willing, the minister will naturally be happy to see it.”

“It seems that everything depends on what Ximen Zhanying means.” Longtai smiled and said: “Ximen Zhanying, Jin Yihou wants to marry you, and your father has no objection. If you are willing, you can compete with Jin Yihou now. One. If Jin Yi Hou is defeated in your hands, this marriage will naturally be abandoned, if he really wins over you, I will immediately decree the marriage, are you willing?”

How dare Ximen Zhanying look up at this time, she only feels that countless pairs of eyes around her seem to be staring at her, a pretty face is like a flame, blushing, biting her lip, she said vaguely: “He… ..he wants to compete against each other, I…I’m not afraid of him, if I want to fight…if I want to fight, I will fight…!”

Longtai saw it in his eyes, and his heart was even more funny, but he still said seriously: “Jinyihou, Ximen Zhanying accepts your martial arts challenge, I would like to see how your kung fu is really good, if you can let me give you a marriage, just do it. It’s up to you.”

Qi Ning strode towards Ximen Zhanying, looked at the beautiful lady in red makeup with a shy face, and thought to herself that I want to marry you as a wife, just to see all the ministers in the court with their own eyes, stopped three steps away, and said with a smile, “Ximen Girl, be merciful later, but don’t be too aggressive.”

Ximen Zhanying looked up and saw Qi Ning was smiling at him, but that wicked smile made Ximen Zhanying’s heart move, bit her lip, and said, “If you don’t have the skills, don’t fight, I won’t fight if you fight. Will be merciful.”

“By the way, you played a game just now, do you want to rest?” Qi Ning smiled and said, “I don’t take advantage of others.”

Ximen Zhanying wondered if you were taking advantage of me, so he slashed his sword across, and said, “I’ll fight with you, there’s no need to rest.” One step down, he slashed at Qi Ning with his sword.
