Chapter 252

Du Xiaoli smiled and said, "thank you for your kindness. We're going to the restaurant in front. We'll have lunch and wait for a new carriage. We don't have to bother the Duke."

"Can you have dinner with the princess?" Zhao Zhen asked.

"It's not very convenient." Du Xiaoli declined. "The Duke of Zhenguo is a distinguished guest of Fengming country. How can he go to the restaurant to eat at will. Moreover, the lonely men and women, melon fields and Li Xia, I'm afraid others will drown me with spittle stars. Xiaoli is timid and won't give the Duke of Zhenguo any trouble."

"Really? That's really a pity. Zhen liked the princess's dance that day and wanted to know more about the princess. However, the folk customs of Fengming country are not as open as Beiyuan country, so Zhen won't embarrass the princess anymore. But Zhen will leave in two days. It seems that Zhen's wish can't come true."

Du Xiaoli smiled and didn't speak.

"In that case, Zhen will leave first. In the afternoon, she will discuss the marriage with your emperor. I have to go back and discuss with the envoy again. Goodbye."

Zhao Zhen then got on the carriage and soon disappeared into the street.

On the carriage, Mo Zi looked at Zhao Zhen puzzled.

"Master, if you ask someone to send the nail, can't she guess that we did it?"

"Ben Hou knows. Ben Hou did it on purpose." Zhao Zhen said with a smile.

"Ah?"

"Even if she guesses what it's about, it's just a guess and can't explain anything." Zhao Zhen said, "but in this way, she will remember this time. As long as she remembers this time, she will be an acquaintance in the future, won't she?"

"I see." Mo Zi said clearly.

"Let's go directly to the palace." Zhao Zhen said faintly.

Here, the smile on Du Xiaoli's face disappeared after hearing Zhao Zhen's marriage.

Marriage with Fengming country is marriage! If it's not the people of Beiyuan state, it's the people of Fengming state!

Only Han Mingxiang is in line with the marriage age!

Xia yuan saw Du Xiaoli's calm face and asked anxiously, "Miss, is what Zhenguo Hou said true? Beiyuan state wants to marry us? Princess Changle..."

"Zhao Zhen!" Du Xiaoli bit Zhao Zhen's name and was angry with a flame in her heart.

He did it on purpose! He deliberately told her to marry, but why did he do it?

"Miss, the Duke of Zhenguo just sent us two nails. Just drive the nails on." the coachman came and said.

Du Xiaoli looked at the nail in the coachman's hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his chill rose everywhere. He said to the coachman, "go and install it."

She asked Xia yuan to take the broken nail and take a closer look. It didn't break naturally!

"Miss."

Du Xiaoli pinched the nail in his hand and said, "when we go back, we'll go to our father and ask him to find out if he really wants to marry. Now we can't make a conclusion by hearing Zhao Zhen's words."

"Yes."

Because there were no tools, after a long time, the coachman repaired the carriage. Du Xiaoli got on the carriage and hurried back to the prime minister's house, but found that Du Yunhan was not at home.

"Where's my father?" she asked, holding a bodyguard.

"The master has just been called to the palace," replied the bodyguard.

"Into the palace?!" now it's noon, but Du Yunhan is called to the palace. He doesn't have to think about it.

"Don't worry, miss. Didn't you also say that the matter hasn't been settled yet, and there may be no one in the end?" Xia yuan comforted.

"Well, I know. Let someone guard here. As soon as Dad comes back, tell me." Du Xiaoli said, "forget it, I'd better wait here."

So she waited in Du Yunhan's yard, but Du Yunhan didn't come back after lunch, and didn't come back in the afternoon. Du Yunhan didn't come back until after dinner.

"Dad."

Hearing Du Yunhan's voice, Du Xiaoli came out of the living room and came to Du Yunhan.

Du Yunhan saw Du Xiaoli in his yard and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Dad, did you enter the palace to discuss the peace talks between the two countries?" Du Xiaoli asked.

Du Yunhan nodded.

"Is there a marriage? Do we want to marry Beiyuan state?"

"How do you know?" Du Yunhan asked strangely.

Du Xiaoli knew that the matter had been settled and asked, "Dad, is it..."

Du Yunhan patted Du Xiaoli on the shoulder and said, "dad knows that you and Princess Changle are good friends. Alas, that's her responsibility and mission. You also want to be open."

"Where's Zhao Zhen?" Du Xiaoli asked.

"He said that something had happened in Beiyuan, and he had rushed back all night in the afternoon. In order to go back, he agreed to some conditions without bargaining, and he left in a hurry after noon." Du Yunhan said.

"He left?" Du Xiaoli said in surprise. "He left so soon. Don't you have to continue to discuss the marriage?"

"He was ready for the marriage early in the morning, and even the eight characters and wedding date of the two were calculated." Du Yunhan said, "he exchanged some concessions in other aspects for this marriage." Du Xiaoli understood that he deliberately didn't mention the marriage before, and then secretly got the eight characters of Han Mingxiang's birthday and determined the wedding date. Then he suddenly said that he had something urgent to leave today, Sign the negotiation and agreement soon, and then leave in a hurry. Don't give fengmingguo a chance to repent! For the interests of the country, Han Mingze will certainly choose to give up Han Mingxiang's happiness. This is a common problem of every emperor. Didn't Kangxi also let many of his daughters marry out and marry? Du Xiaoli knew that as soon as Zhao Zhen left, there was no room to turn around the marriage. Han Mingxiang, what she had been worried about, really happened. She suddenly wanted to shed tears for Han Mingxiang and for the uncertain future of women in feudal society. But she couldn't flow out. She just felt her eyes dry. "Dad, the wedding date, when is the wedding date?" Du Yunhan felt her head painfully when he saw Du Xiaoli's appearance. "On the seventh day of January next year, counting the time spent on the road, we will start in late November. At present, it is tentatively scheduled to be November 21, and Huang Li should get married that day." Meng Jiangzhuo's wedding date is November 19. Two days after her marriage, Han Mingxiang will also leave. Du Xiaoli returned to her yard and couldn't tell. Xia yuan didn't dare to talk much when they saw her like this. "Miss, Yingge cooked some porridge for you. You haven't eaten at noon. Now how much to drink." Xia yuan came up with a bowl of porridge and persuaded him. "Put it there. I'll drink if I'm hungry." Du Xiaoli sat in the rocking chair on the balcony and looked at the lonely moon in the air. "You go down and have a rest. I don't need to serve here."
