Letting Loose After Marrying A Tycoon

Zhan'er asked her: "Don't you like the prince?"

"We don't know each other, how can we like each other?"

Zhan'er twisted the small handkerchief in her hand and said, "But I heard that the Crown Princess this time was personally chosen by His Highness the Crown Prince." In other words, it was Prince Dugujie who asked Nangong Xian to be the Crown Princess.

Nangongxian was a little surprised.

"Is it?"

Nangongxian shook her head and held her chin with one hand. She said: "Zhan'er, you and I just want to go to battle to kill the enemy and defend the country. If we are lucky, we will find a man we really like, marry him, and live that life." Live a life of two people for the rest of your life."

"Men are just like the territory of my Luo Dynasty. They cannot be divided. It would be disgusting if I were to share a man with others!"

In the Luo Dynasty, not every man had three wives and four concubines, and the wives were in pairs. There are also many couples who live a happy life together for the rest of their lives. But in the imperial palace, there has never been an emperor with only one empress.

Zhan'er didn't answer, just looked at the girl sitting on the wooden stool with her legs crossed in silence. After a moment, she blinked her clear eyes and asked in a low voice: "What if His Highness the Crown Prince only marries a young lady for the rest of his life?"

Nangong Xian seemed to have heard something ridiculous and burst out laughing immediately, "Zhan'er, what are you talking about? Your Highness, that is the person who will be the emperor in the future. He will have three palaces and six courtyards in the future."

Will you only marry me for the rest of your life? Nangongxian stood up and tapped Zhan'er's forehead. She said, "I would rather believe that you are a man than that His Highness the Prince will only marry me."

Zhan'er moved her lips, but still didn't say anything.

Nangongxian suddenly said: "I met His Royal Highness the Emperor that night. He is indeed very handsome, but he looks not in good health. I think I should marry him." Nangongxian pouted and said seriously. : “I doubt boudoir fun would be jarring.”

Zhan'er was frightened by Nangong Xian's bold remarks. She was taken aback and asked in a tone of surprise, "Do you think His Highness the Crown Prince can't satisfy you?" Zhan'er's weird look in Nangong Xian's eyes was still graceful. The heroic body swept across.

Although His Highness the Crown Prince is very weak, he is not unable to satisfy a Nangong Immortal.

"Of course." Nangongxian complained: "It is better to have men in our military camp. All of them are strong, able to eat and do things. I can't bear to let a sick man like His Highness the Crown Prince move more. He should move more." , I feel like I’m shortening his life.”

Listening to Nangongxian's words and seeing Nangongxian's serious expression, Zhan'er's eyes flashed with pain.

She couldn't help but say: "Actually, His Royal Highness was physically strong when he was a child, but after his mother died of illness, His Royal Highness lost support. In the palace, the prince without his mother was very pitiful. Because of the negligence of the servants, His Royal Highness was once given chronic poison. Although he was discovered in time and saved by the miracle doctor Zhou Xiazi, his health was always in bad shape and he would cough in winter."

Zhan'er stared at Nangongxian's swaying legs and said with some envy: "What His Highness the Crown Prince wants most is a healthy and strong body."

If possible, His Royal Highness hopes that he can be a strong warrior in his next life. The life of pampering, fine clothing and fine food was left to Nangongxian, and the heavy responsibility of protecting the family and the country and killing the enemy was left to him.

When Nangong Xian heard Zhan'er speak, he sighed again, "Look, it's so scary in the palace. Even the prince was almost killed. If a woman like me who doesn't understand intrigues enters the harem, she will definitely be chewed to the bone. Nothing left.”

After a moment of silence, Zhan'er said: "Miss, you are right." The palace is indeed a dangerous place, far more terrifying than the battlefield.

"I'm thirsty, Zhan'er."

"I'm going to pour the tea for the young lady." Zhan'er turned around to pour the tea, not noticing how complicated Nangongxian looked at her.

Staring at Zhan'er's neat action of pouring tea, Nangongxian couldn't help but ask in his heart: Dugu Jie, Dugu Jie, I have made my words so clear, are you willing to let me live?

As early as the first time the eunuch brought Zhan'er to her palace, Nangong Xian discovered that Zhan'er was disguised as a man. But at that time, she didn't know who Zhan'er really was, so she resisted revealing it.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the palace banquet that Zhan'er suddenly disappeared. Nangongxian saw Dugu Jie at the palace banquet and recognized his eyes that were similar to Zhan'er's. Only then did he guess the relationship between him and Zhan'er. Eighty-eight.

Dugu Jie did all this just to choose a satisfactory crown princess.

Nangongxian didn't understand where she had caught Dugu Jie's eyes, but she hoped that Dugu Jie would spare her life.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Nangongxian received a message from the East Palace that His Royal Highness had prepared a banquet in the palace and wanted to invite Nangongxian to the East Palace to enjoy the moon with him.

The Luo Dynasty did not have a practice of not allowing men and women to meet before marriage. This was the first time for Nangong Xian to get along with His Royal Highness in private. Ying'er valued tonight's date very much and gave Nangong Xian a fairy-like look.

After cleaning up, Nangongxian asked her: "Where is Zhan'er?"

Ying'er said: "Zhan'er has returned to the palace. There are things in the palace that she needs to do."

"oh."

Nangongxian wanted to ride a horse, but her father prepared a chariot for her. "You are about to become the crown princess, so it is better not to show your face."

Nangong Xian got into the chariot and became even more unhappy with the title of Crown Princess.

She arrived at the East Palace, was greeted by the housekeeper, and finally came to a unique courtyard. A vegetable table was prepared on the high platform in the courtyard, and Nangongxian was invited to the high platform by the butler.

"Miss Nangong, you do it first, His Highness will arrive soon."

Nangong Xian hummed, and when she raised her head, she saw the bright moon that was about to rise in the sky. Nangongxian couldn't help but think of the moon in the desert. When she was thirteen years old, she sneaked into the military camp and went on an expedition with her father.

Last year, she spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the military camp. She sat on the Gobi desert with a glass of wine, looking up at the full moon above her head, with only one thought in her mind -

The great rivers and mountains of the Luo Dynasty cannot be divided by anyone!

Nangongxian has a dream. She wants to keep the full moon in the desolate Gobi desert and keep it in the Luo Dynasty forever.

Nangongxian was in a trance and did not notice the approach of His Royal Highness. It wasn't until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat down across from her, picked up the flask and poured her a glass of wine, and heard the sound of the wine falling into the glass, that Nangong Xian came back to his senses.

"I don't know that His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived. Nangong Xian has been disrespectful. I hope His Highness will atone for his sins." Nangong Xian wanted to stand up and salute, but Dugu Jie grabbed her wrist and patted her gently.

"Xian'er, sit down, you and I will be husband and wife soon, there's no need to be so formal."

This shout of Xian'er made Nangong Xian's ears turn slightly red.

Dugu Jie stared at her red ears, and his cold heart suddenly softened. Nangong Xian sat down again, stroking the wine glass in front of her, and heard Dugu Jie ask: "What has Xian'er been doing recently?"

Nangongxian told the truth: "I am learning how to be a qualified crown princess."

Dugujie looked at her deeply and said, "There is no need to study. To be my crown princess, you only need to do one thing."

Nangong Xian frowned slightly and heard Dugu Jie say: "Always be loyal to me, that's enough."

Nangongxian opened her charming and serious eyes and stared at Dugu Jie for a moment. She suddenly said: "Your Highness, I am naturally willing to be loyal to Your Highness forever. But Your Highness."

Dugujie: "Huh?"

"Your Highness, when you married your wife, didn't you think of marrying someone you love each other?"

Dugujie laughed and said, "I like Xian'er very much." He really liked Nangong Xian, otherwise, he would not have disguised himself as a woman to take care of Nangong Xian.

Nangongxian believed that Dugu Jie liked her. She smiled and shook her head and said, "But Your Highness, I don't like Your Highness."

Dugu Jie's eyes darkened visibly.

There was no expression on his face, the noble temperament on his body was blurred, but the vicious and domineering air was fully revealed. As expected of His Royal Highness, he possesses an imperial aura.

Nangongxian knew that she had offended Dugu Jie, but she still said boldly: "Although my daughter has followed her father in wielding swords and sticks since she was a child, she also has a yearning for love. My father has only married one woman in this life. The daughter has only one mother. Due to the influence of her parents, the daughter can only accept the life of a couple for the rest of her life."

"And Your Highness, you can't give me what I want. Likewise, I can't give my love to a man with three palaces and six courtyards. Your Highness, if you just need a woman who is loyal to you, then I can do."

"But if you need a woman who is loyal to you, loves you, and cares for you, please forgive me for my incompetence."

She stared at the crown on Dugujie's head, knowing that soon the crown would fade away and the crown would be put on. Nangongxian took out a box from his sleeve and gently placed it in front of Dugu Jie.

Dugu Jie opened the box in confusion and saw a black wooden hairpin inside. The shape was simple, but it was very suitable for Dugu Jie's temperament.

There was some light in his cold eyes. "Is this a gift prepared by Xian'er for me?"

Nangongxian smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, this is the hairpin I carved for His Highness myself."

Although this thing is made of ordinary materials, the hairpins are beautifully carved, and the details are smooth and round. You can tell that care has been taken. Dugu Jie has never received a uglier gift than this in his life.

But he loved it.

Dugujie handed the hairpin to Nangong Xian and said, "Xian'er, put it on for me."

At this time, only parents and bedside persons can touch the hair of men and women. Nangongxian hesitated for a moment before catching the hairpin. She stood up quickly, moved to Dugu Jie's side, and knelt down next to him.

Dugu Jie was too tall, so Nangong Xian had to straighten his back to insert the hairpin into Dugu Jie's head.

"Your Highness, put it on."

Dugujie didn't say anything to ask her to sit back.

If he doesn't say it, Nangongxian can't leave.

Nangongxian kept kneeling with Dugujie, and she was a little flustered. Just when she was about to stand up, Dugu Jie grabbed her waist and brought her into his arms.

Dugu Jie lowered his head and looked at Nangong Xian's beautiful and youthful face. He said, "You said you didn't want to marry me, but you gave me gifts. Xian'er, are you playing hard to get, or are you torturing me?"

It was the first time that Nangongxian was held by a strange man like this. He would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.

When she breathed, her chest rose and fell a little.

Nangongxian put her hands on Dugu Jie's chest. She sat up from Dugu Jie's arms and whispered, "His Royal Highness is the best and most handsome man I have ever seen."

"My daughter is a mortal, so she naturally loves beauty. My daughter likes His Highness the Crown Prince very much."

A smile flashed in Dugu Jie's eyes, "I'm sure you like it."

"But Your Highness." Nangongxian avoided Dugu Jie's intimate gestures, and looked straight at Dugu Jie with her charming and narrow eyes, which made Dugu Jie feel itchy in his heart.

Staring at the black wooden hairpin on Dugujie's head, Nangongxian said: "Your Highness, my carving skills are quite good. As for me, I just want to carve hairpins for my husband for a lifetime. But Your Highness will be the one to wear the crown in the future. My hairpin is not suitable for Your Highness to wear."

Dugujie was stunned.

Nangongxian withdrew from her arms, knelt on the other side of the table, lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, in the prosperous dynasty, there are far more civil servants than military generals. Your Highness, you are a sensible person. I think you have noticed it a long time ago. The neighboring countries are very ambitious and have long wanted to take advantage of this delicious snack of our Luo Dynasty."

"And now, except for my father, no one in the imperial court can fight in all directions. If this goes on for a long time, there will definitely be external troubles. And external worries will lead to internal troubles!"

Dugu Jie couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard Nangong Xian calmly analyzing the Luo Dynasty's military strength.

What she said is right. The Luo Dynasty has been strong for too many years. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the court is prosperous. Now it emphasizes civil servants over generals. The surrounding countries all seem to be well-behaved kittens, but who can guarantee that these kittens will not turn into wolves, tigers and leopards after they wake up?

General Nangong is getting old soon. If the surrounding countries are no longer peaceful, who can the Luo Dynasty send to lead the army to kill the enemy?

Seeing Dugujie thinking about his words seriously, Nangongxian knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was a sensible person.

Nangongxian picked up the glass of wine that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had poured for her earlier. She raised the glass respectfully and said to Dugu Jie, "Your Highness, I am afraid that I am not qualified for the position of Crown Princess."

"Your Highness, if you become king in the future, I will serve you as my minister. I am willing to guard the border and protect the territory of our Luo Dynasty! I promise that as long as I live, the territory of the Luo Dynasty will always be complete. !”

After saying that, Nangongxian raised his head and drank the glass of wine completely.

Dugujie looked at her dreamily. The little girl in front of her was not yet fifteen years old. She looked charming, wealthy and graceful in her skirt. But her ambition is higher than the sky and wider than the sea!

Imprisoning such a woman within a high wall is tantamount to breaking the wings of an eagle and forcing it to become a free-roaming chicken.

Dugujie held Nangongxian's hand and sighed, "It would be great if I had a good body." If he had a good body, he could lead troops to fight.

Nangongxian looked at his not-so-robust figure, and she suddenly smiled brightly, as if she had caught a glimpse of him for the first time downstairs at the Qingluo Banquet, her smile was bright and bright. "It doesn't matter. Your Highness will always be my Zhan'er, and I will protect you for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, Dugu Jie suddenly opened his eyes wide. "you"

Dugujie was speechless, but he didn't expect that Nangongxian had already tried on his disguise.

Nangong Xian burst out laughing, "Your Highness, although you are thin, you are really too tall. The palace maids are not that tall."

Dugujie blushed.

Under the black python pattern, his fair skin was stained with a layer of crimson, which was really attractive and delicious. Nangongxian looked away, not daring to look further.

Dugujie suddenly coughed, and Nangongxian quickly helped him.

After Dugujie stopped, he said: "When I am excited, I tend to cough easily."

"Xian'er, please go back first. Let me think carefully about what you said for a while."

"good."

A few days after Nangongxian returned home, he received news from the border gate that the Rong and Di were invading from the west. The attack was menacing and unstoppable.

His Majesty was furious and immediately ordered Nangong Jue to lead troops to attack Rong Di!

Nangong Jue left Kyoto that afternoon and went to fight in the northwest. Nangongxian felt that Rong Di's invasion this time was strange. The Rong Di people had been peaceful for more than a hundred years, so how could they suddenly attack the Luo Dynasty?

Nangongxian went to ask her teacher Li Wei for advice, and the teacher said: "This year is an extremely cold year in the north that is rare in a hundred years. They can't wait."

It is cold most of the year in the north, and it was bearable in previous years. However, this year the cold came extremely early. In winter, it was impossible to grow any grain and grass in the north, and cattle and sheep husbandry could not be carried out.

By then, the Rongdi people in the north will have no food, no cattle, sheep and money, and they will die!

Nangongxian felt that something was wrong.

Since the entire north is about to usher in an extremely cold year, and the Rongdi people in the northwest have begun to attack, what about the north?

Nangongxian told the teacher his worries. After hearing this, the teacher felt something was wrong. Seven days later, officers from the north came to report that a large number of Rongdi people had also invaded the Luo Dynasty in the north and looted food.

Prince Dugujie smelled an unusual smell for the first time, and hurriedly entered the palace to see the emperor, asking the emperor to send people to the north to drive away the Rongdi people in the north before they became mature.

The emperor was also a wise king. After listening to Dugu Jie's analysis, he also recognized Dugu Jie's approach and asked him: "Your Majesty, look, who among the people in the court is the most suitable to fight in the north?"

Dugujie thought for a while and said, "General Li Bing!"

Li Bing has been fighting in all directions with General Nangong Jue since he was sixteen years old. His combat experience is very rich.

"We thought of going together."

On the same day, the emperor summoned General Li Bing and ordered him to lead troops deep into the north to drive away the Rong Di traitors. Li Bing accepted the order and was preparing to set off early the next morning, but that night he received an urgent report from the northwest, saying that General Nangong Jue had been hit by an arrow and his life was in danger!

Upon receiving the news, the emperor was surprised and felt bad.

General Nangong Jue has always been the anchor of the Luo Dynasty. With him here, the sky above the Luo Dynasty will never fall! But unexpectedly, Nangong Jue was injured, and his life or death was unknown!

The emperor had to ask General Li Bing to go to the northwest to replace Nangong Jue and continue the campaign.

As a result, no one can lead troops to fight in the north.

In recent years, the imperial court has emphasized civilian officials, and there have been fewer and fewer military generals. Most of the military generals have followed Nangong Jue to the northwest. If he really needs to find a suitable person to go to the north to fight, he can't find one for a while.

At this time, Grand Tutor Chen Kang recommended someone.

"Your Majesty, I think there is still one person who can lead troops to fight!"

Hearing this, the emperor and Dugu Jie both looked towards the Taifu. The emperor asked: "Who?"

The Taifu said: "The only daughter of General Nangong Jue, Nangong Xian!" He glanced at His Highness the Crown Prince, who looked unhappy, and whispered: "She is the appointed Crown Princess."

The emperor said nothing, and the prince was even more silent.

The Taifu continued: "Nangongxian has practiced martial arts with the general since she was a child, and learned the art of war. To be honest, as early as the day the general went to fight in the northwest, Nangongxian found my junior brother, her teacher Li Wei. A few days ago, Nangong Xian analyzed that there will be war in the north."

"In terms of military affairs, Nangong Xian has great foresight. She is not inferior to her father in the slightest! Your Majesty, there are too few generals in the imperial court now. We must train a new group of generals as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the general and Li When General Bing and the others grow old, who will be able to guard the territory of our Luo Dynasty?"

In fact, when the Taifu said Nangongxian's name, the emperor was a little moved.

The emperor watched Nangong Xian's little girl grow up. He often heard Nangong Jue praise his daughter for how powerful she was. He also once said that if Nangong Xian were a man and actually went to the battlefield, she would definitely be better than him. sharp.

The emperor was not in a hurry to make a decision. After the prince left, he stared at his prince. "Your Majesty, you heard what the Master said. What do you think?"

Dugu Jie: "The dignified Luo Dynasty, when did it need a girl to guard the territory!"

The emperor sighed, "It's not that we need girls to guard the territory, but the person who is most suitable to guard the territory, and she happens to be a girl."

Knowing that the emperor was quite fond of Nangong Xian, the emperor softened his tone and sighed: "Your Majesty, I wanted to tell you that Nangong Xian is not suitable to be your crown princess. A girl like her is not qualified to be a crown princess. ”

Dugujie clenched his fists, his eyes full of unwillingness. "But Father, the child likes her."

"But Your Majesty, the eagle is supposed to fight in the sky. It's wrong for you to lock it in a birdcage."

-

"Miss, the father-in-law from the East Palace came here just now and said that His Highness the Crown Prince invites you to enjoy the maple leaves in Yulin."

Yu Lin’s maple leaves?

Nangongxian looked up at the small yard outside the window and realized that the leaves had begun to fall, and autumn had arrived.

Nangongxian said: "Change my clothes!"

When Nangongxian walked out of the General's Mansion, he saw a luxurious chariot parked in front of his house.

She got on the carriage and saw a person sitting in the carriage.

Dugu Jie was wearing a white slim-fitting straight-skirted uniform today. His black hair was draped and embellished with a black wooden hairpin. He was sitting on the soft stool, stroking a jade pendant in his hand.

Finding that the sedan curtain was opened, Dugu Jie raised his head, with red lips on his fair cheeks. Nangongxian noticed that His Highness's complexion was not very good and was paler than usual. She sat next to His Highness the Crown Prince and asked him with concern: "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"

Dugujie shook his head.

He continued to rub the jade pendant without saying a word.

When they arrived at Yulin, His Royal Highness held Nangongxian's hand and took her to admire the red maple leaves all over the mountains and plains. Nangongxian was wearing a crimson skirt and standing in the maple leaf forest. She was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.

Dugu Jie stared at her young and beautiful face, and he suddenly called: "Nangong Xian."

Nangongxian was stunned for a moment when his full name was suddenly called.

She looked up at Dugu Jie and asked respectfully: "Your Highness, do you have anything to say?"

Dugu Jie said: "Nangong Xian, how good are your archery skills?"

"His Royal Highness should know whether my archery skills are good or not." After all, she had trained with His Highness.

Dugu Jie picked an apple from the food box carried by his father-in-law. He tossed the apple with his hand and said, "Nangongxian, let's compete, okay?"

"Compared to what?"

"Archery competition. We put an apple on each other's head, and then shoot arrows at each other. Whoever hits the apple on each other's head loses. The winner can make a request to the loser. Regardless of whether it’s too much or not, the loser must agree.”

Nangongxian finally understood the reason why His Highness the Crown Prince asked her to meet. If she wins, His Highness the Crown Prince will agree to all his requests. If she loses, then His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely ask her to be his Crown Princess!

Nangongxian: "Okay!"

The two of them each held a bow and an apple on their heads, facing each other a hundred meters apart.

Nangong Xian once heard someone say that His Highness the Crown Prince's archery skills are very powerful. In previous years' hunts, His Highness the Crown Prince always came out on top. Nangongxian and Dugujie raised their bows at the same time and pointed them at the apple above each other's head.

Nangongxian looked at Dugu Jie with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

The father-in-law stood aside and counted down ten numbers.

"Nineteen eight seven six five four"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

Nangongxian suddenly let go of his right hand!

The long arrow shot through the air and towards Dugu Jie.

But when his father-in-law finished counting the last number, Dugu Jie suddenly lowered his arms and gave up shooting.

After Nangongxian saw Dugu Jie's movements clearly, his eyes widened.

Nangongxian's long arrow hit the heart of the apple on Dugujie's head. The apple split into pieces, and the long arrow shot into the maple tree pole behind Dugu Jie, and then stopped.

Nangongxian strode up to Dugu Jie. She looked up at Dugu Jie's handsome face and asked puzzledly: "Your Highness! Why don't you shoot the arrow!"

Not firing an arrow means giving up!

Dugujie said resignedly: "I, Dugujie, have done many ruthless things in order to sit on the throne of the East Palace and become one person above all others. I have never been a good person, but I was shocked to realize at this moment that I I can't even shoot you."

He raised the bow with red arms in his hand, picked up the carving knife he carried with him, and carved the words "Nangong Immortal" on the corner of the bow arm.

Putting the bow into Nangong Xian's arms, Dugu Jie said, "It's called Zhuri, and it's my weapon. But it followed me and has lost its use. Xian'er, today, I give Zhuri to you as a gift."

Nangong Xian held Zhuri tightly and heard Dugu Jie say: "Little General Nangong, I hope that this Sun-Chasing Arrow will accompany you into battle to kill the enemy and gallop on the battlefield! I am alone in the capital. I wish you an invincible army in all directions and return as a young man." !”
