There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Princess Lekang walked aimlessly on the corridor in the palace, thinking of what she had just overheard outside the political hall, a sarcastic smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Regarding her relationship with the Western Liao Dynasty, her grandfather's family, which was very powerful in the court, did not raise any objection. Instead, it was Xiao Yeyang, a cousin who was not very close, who stood up and said something for her.

No wonder the queen mother always avoided seeing the Jiang family all these years, no wonder the queen mother often told her not to get too close to the Jiang family. Until today, she found out that the Jiang family was really cold-blooded.

father emperor

Will the father emperor agree to the request of the first prince of Xiliao?

"Princess, it's getting late, shall we go back?" Seeing that it was already dark, the palace maid had to remind her.

Princess Lekang gave a faint "um" and continued to walk slowly.

The emperor did not give a clear response to Xiliao's request for a marriage. In the early days of the past few days, the civil and military officials were arguing about this matter. Most people felt that for the stability of the northwest frontier, they should agree to marry.

Yan House.

Garden gazebo.

"Xiao Yeyang, will the emperor agree to marry?"

Daohua handed the re-added and subtracted drawings to Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang took the blueprint and looked at it, then smiled lightly: "No."

Hearing that he was so sure, Daohua was a little surprised: "Why?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Uncle Huang is a brilliant and talented emperor. He will not be like the short-sighted officials in the DPRK, who advocates a few years of stability in exchange for marriage."

"If you want to maintain the stability of the frontier forever, it is useless to have a relationship with relatives. It is fundamental that the country is strong and the army is strong. Even I understand this, and the royal uncle will naturally know."

Daohua was puzzled: "Then why didn't the emperor directly reject the first prince of Xiliao?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "Xiliao's request for marriage is actually a disguised test."

"If you agree directly, the people of Xiliao will feel that Daxia is also eager to maintain peace. After the war with the Tartars, they have no fighting strength."

"If you decide directly, you will feel that Daxia is so strong. Can you still raise troops against Xiliao? This will undoubtedly stimulate Xiliao's vigilance against Daxia."

"No matter which one it is, Xiliao will make corresponding deployments."

"Now that they are uncertain about our actual situation, we can have more initiative."

"Come on, Uncle Royal must have other considerations for him. Princess Lekang is from the queen, the only daughter of the queen, and the queen is from the Jiang family. This time the Jiang family has nothing to do. What will the queen think? Will she be with the Jiang family? One heart?"

The stability of the harem is also very important to the royal uncle.

Daohua's face was stunned.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "Okay, don't talk about these things, did you eat the fruit I sent to you yesterday?"

Daohua suddenly laughed: "Well, I ate it." After speaking, she turned to look at Wang Man'er, "Go and bring a plate of durian mousse I made in the morning."

Xiao Yeyang looked surprised: "Are you used to eating it? That fruit called durian, many people say it smells stinky."

Daohua smiled and said, "I think it's delicious. You can try it later."

Xiao Yeyang had a little resistance on his face, and he was a little unfamiliar with the fruit. It was obvious that Daohua wanted to share the food with him, and he silently swallowed his refusal.

At this moment, Yan Wenxiu and his wife and three sisters Yan Yihuan came over.

"Big brother, big sister-in-law, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, how did you get together?"

Daohua got up and ushered people into the pavilion, but Xiao Yeyang didn't move. Since the emperor ordered the marriage, he and the Yan family didn't avoid it as deliberately as before.

Han Xinran smiled and greeted Xiao Yeyang before saying, "We just came from our grandmother."

Yan Wenxiu walked towards Xiao Yeyang, and the two stood by the pavilion talking.

Daohua saw that Yan Yihuan and the three of them were all dressed in new clothes, and asked with a smile, "Grandma has a guest?"

Han Xinran glanced at Yan Yihuan with a smile and nodded.

Daohua saw Yan Yihuan's blushing face and lowered her head, and suddenly remembered what Mrs. Li had mentioned to her two days ago, saying that her father had a crush on a family and was going to tell Yan Yihuan, could it be that the family came to the door today?

The matter has not been settled yet, and Daohua didn't ask, and chatted with Han Xinran about other things.

Han Xinran: "Mother said that the Su family will be going to Beijing in the next two days."

Daohua smiled and said, "It's already July, and October is only three months away. It's time to come to Beijing."

Han Xinran smiled: "There are several happy events in our family this year."

At this time, Wang Man'er came over with Liuli Mousse.

"This is my new dessert, everyone try it!"

Daohua is very enthusiastic to sell desserts to everyone.

The Yan family all know that Daohua likes to come up with new tricks from time to time, so she used a bamboo stick to insert a piece of dessert for the sake of face.

However, Yan Wenxiu and the others did not move their mouths when they smelled the dessert.

"Eat!"

Daohua ate a piece, and seeing that Xiao Yeyang didn't move, he quickly inserted a piece and handed it to his mouth: "Try it, it's delicious."

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, opened his mouth and ate the dessert.

When Yan Wenxiu and the others saw it, they all looked at Xiao Yeyang with a questioning face: "Is it delicious?"

Xiao Yeyang's face was a little stiff. In Daohua's expectant eyes, after chewing and swallowing it a few times, he nodded affirmatively: "The taste is very good, let's try it."

Yan Wenxiu took a small bite with the mentality of trying it out, and immediately ran out of the pavilion and vomited on the ground.

Daohua was speechless when she saw it: "Brother, your reaction is too big." After saying that, he inserted a piece into his mouth again, and then turned to look at Han Xinran and the others.

Seeing Yan Wenxiu's reaction, Han Xinran didn't have the courage to try, and silently put the dessert back.

Seeing that they didn't eat it, Daohua looked regretful: "Durian is a good thing, it's a pity not to eat it."

"Give me another piece." Xiao Yeyang said suddenly.

Daohua's brows suddenly twitched, and she inserted a piece and handed it to Xiao Yeyang, but she took it back when she was about to put it to his mouth: "Do you really like to eat?"

Xiao Yeyang sullenly said, "Of course, I think it's not bad."

Daohua Mianlu researched: "Everyone's taste is different, if you are not used to it, don't force yourself."

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua: "I like to eat everything you make." He took her hand and ate the dessert in one bite.

Yan Wenxiu and the others looked in admiration when they saw Xiao Ye swallowing the dessert without changing his face.

Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang's stiff cheeks, smiled silently, put down the bamboo stick, and let Wang Maner carry the dessert down.

Xiao Yeyang: ".I can eat a few more pieces."

Daohua said with a smile: "I'll give you all the delicious food. I have to keep it to honor my elders."

Xiao Yeyang: "Well, I won't eat it."

Listening to the conversation between the two and watching the two accommodate each other, Han Xinran was a little amused and envious.

In fact, she had a really good life after she got married. She was considerate and gentle, and there was no concubine sharing the room, but she always felt that something was missing.

She and Xianggong will not get along like the eldest sister and the little prince. Even if the two bicker and get angry, the atmosphere is sweet and warm.

Yan Yihuan was also looking at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang secretly, with longing in her eyes.

Thinking of the lady I saw today, and the young master of the You family who she was full of praise, I couldn't help but have a lot of expectations for the future.
