Chapter 160 It was inferred that he came from Luoyang, not because Zhao Zheng was watching every move in Luoyang.
But he knew that the Yangxin pear tree closest to here was planted in Luoyang.
He and Jiang He once sat opposite each other and ate under the pear tree.
At that time, Jiang He went to Wei Ji, ate the food he cooked, and asked him to withdraw his troops.
Fortunately, it is different now.
She was his, and the child in her belly was also his. No matter how much Qiuli ointment the kid cooked, he couldn't take it back.
Zhao Zheng picked up the soup bowl and looked at Jiang He slightly.
"Wei Ji asked someone to deliver it."
Jiang He looked at ease and did not shy away from anything.
She reached out to take the pear soup, but Zhao Zheng suddenly withdrew her hand and took it empty.
Jiang He simply smiled and said, "Does Your Majesty want to feed my concubine with your own hands?"
As he spoke, his mouth opened like a baby bird waiting to be fed.
Concubine...
When she said this word, it was so heartwarming and made people feel relieved.
Zhao Zheng was helpless after being teased by her, and hummed in frustration, but his fingers had already subconsciously grasped the handle of the spoon, took a shallow spoonful, and brought it to Jiang He's mouth.
She swallowed it in big gulps, then opened her mouth and said, "More."
"You said...'I want more,' so Gucai will feed you." Zhao Zheng leaned forward, with a domineering aura in his eyes as deep as a pool.
"I...concubine...still...want it, I still want it."
It’s just a matter of words, and it’s not He said a few words in succession, then raised her head and waited for Zhao Zheng to feed her.
Her expression was a little cunning, but she also had a bright face, so even Zhao Zheng, who was good at restraint, couldn't help but get closer.
He lowered his head and placed his thin lips on the corners of her plump lips.
"If your beloved wife wants it, you should be satisfied alone."
The monarch, who was always cold and solemn, held Jiang He's head with one hand, his face burning with kissed her lightly, completely forgetting the passage of time.
When Jiang He refused, he pushed Zhao Zheng and said vaguely: "I want to eat pear soup, not your majesty."
Zhao Zheng stopped and said with some reluctance: "Isn't it delicious?"
"It's delicious." Jiang He looked at the pear soup with a somewhat innocent expression and said, "But Your Majesty, I am my concubine...ahem..."
She coughed, her cheeks were rosy and she patted her chest, seeming extremely uncomfortable.
But even though she was acting, she looked very cute.
"You have to get better soon."
Zhao Zheng had to compromise. He let go of her, held the spoon again, and fed the pear soup to Jiang He.
When dusk began to rise on the third day, Wei Ji received a thank-you gift from the Yong envoy.
The princess of Wei is in Xianyang. If it is Jiang Hexie, Wei Zipei will naturally pass it on to that he has taken such trouble to send it to Luoyang, it shows that this is Zhao Zheng's intention.
Wei Ji did not read the gift list, but simply asked the envoy, "I don't know what I am thanking for?"
"Of course Mr. Xie's Qiuli ointment cured our queen's cough." The envoy said with a respectful expression.
Wei Ji suddenly became nervous.
He was indeed worried that the hard work in the past few months would make Jiang He weak and tired, which could easily induce autumn cough.
And now that she is pregnant, she needs to be careful when taking medicine.
Little did he know that she was really sick.
Just a cough?Or is there something else? "Is it really okay?" Master Wei Yun Danfengqing's face was tense for a moment.
"Healed."
The envoy nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir. Your majesty has already fed the queen a spoonful of the autumn pear paste. Your majesty also said that at this time next year, you don't need to worry about it. The Yong Kingdom has a vast land and rich resources, and it will be necessary to plant a few trees. It’s not difficult.”
"So, it's best."
Wei Ji felt as if his chest was suddenly stood up and walked out, leaving the envoy hanging in the palace.
The prince usually respects the virtuous and courteous people, but rarely behaves inappropriately like this.
Fortunately, the retainers were there, and they came forward to compliment and politely deal with the Yong envoys without losing the etiquette of the two countries' relations.
Before lunch, Lord Long Yang arrived at the Wei embassy.
Wei Zipei was not there, so the people who went out to report found the Qi embassy by familiar long after, Wei Zipei came back with a happy face.
Behind her was Jiang Bi, the young master of Qi State.
Long Yangjun smiled thoughtfully.
"I'm here to see why Your Highness the Princess has been lingering in Xianyang for so long and hasn't returned yet," Lord Long Yang said, "Logically speaking, the Queen of Yong Kingdom has been married for more than ten days. Is there anything else?"
"My princess, cough..." Wei Zipei coughed mischievously and sent his servants out, "Tell the kitchen that coriander and green chives are not allowed in today's dishes. Cook a separate plate of minced meat and sunflower vegetables. The meat must be lean. Yes, there can't be any fat ones." She thought for a while and then said, "Also, get the pot of aged wine that this princess is reluctant to drink. Be careful to get the glass cup that the queen gave you on her wedding."
As she explained this, the smile on Long Yangjun's face grew stronger.
Jiang Ben, on the other hand, frowned slightly and felt dissatisfied, thinking: How do you remember so clearly what other men like to eat?
"That's all," Long Yang Jun looked at Jiang Ben behind Wei Zipei with a free and easy look, and saluted, "Long Yang Jun of the Wei Kingdom has met the Young Master of the Qi Kingdom." Long Yang Jun was dressed in red, blooming like a peony in the palace.
His appearance was graceful and royal, and his gestures were elegant and refined. When Jiang Ben saw him like this, he couldn't help but return the favor.
"I heard that Mr. Long Yang was elegant in literature and superb in swordsmanship, so he couldn't help but come to bother me. I also wanted to see Haihan."
Jiang Ben usually didn't speak very elegantly, but now he said a few words in an elegant manner, which made Wei Zipei look over at him in eyes met and they both smiled.
Long Yangjun suddenly felt that the palace seemed to be brighter.
It was as if someone had lit a candle in broad daylight.
The maid served tea and snacks and candied fruits.
The three of them knelt down opposite each other. After a few polite words, Long Yangjun got to the point.
"In the past few days that Your Highness has been away from home, many people have been to the Princess Mansion to inquire about your whereabouts."
"What are you asking me for?" Wei Zipei looked confused.
"Most of them are here to propose marriages, and a few are here to propose marriages for others." Long Yangjun didn't seem to care about Jiang Ben's presence, and kept talking.
Jiang Ben stopped sipping the tea and glanced sideways at him.
Longyang Jun Shi Shiran continued: "Our princess of the Wei Kingdom naturally has many people asking for her hand in marriage. Your Highness has reached the age and cannot be delayed any longer."
"Is this why my brother called you here?" Wei Zipei was a little embarrassed, and his originally relaxed and naughty expression became tense.
"Yes," Long Yangjun smiled, "Young Master has chosen several marriages for His Highness, and asked me to take His Highness back and pick a date to get married."
Wei Zipei said nothing.
Her pink face was covered with a layer of white as if a disaster had struck her, and she clenched the cup nervously.
After Jiang Ben was injured, she went to her brother in panic for confirmation, and traveled all night to 's impossible for a brother with such an exquisite eyes and ears to know that she belongs to someone who belongs to Jiang Ben.
Now she asked Long Yangjun to take her back in front of Jiang Ben. Does that mean he doesn't agree with their marriage?
Qi State and Wei State have no feud, and Qi State even helped Wei State to resist Chu State.
My brother has no reason not to agree.
Why is this happening now? The atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant. After a while, a person broke the silence and said: "I don't know what the rules of marriage are in Wei. If you want to marry a princess, do you need to visit first?"
Wei Zipei suddenly raised his head, saw Jiang Ben smiling, looking at Long Yangjun calmly, and asked.
Long Yangjun looked surprised, and after a long time he nodded solemnly and said: "Of course, I have to go to the princess's house to hand over the name card first, and then visit the young master. If the young master agrees, he can meet with me, the Queen Mother of Wei, to express his feelings."
Jiang Ben frowned and shook his head.
Just know that these Central Plains people have too many rules.
When Wei Zipei saw him shaking his head, he felt panicked.
She wanted to mention something else to change the topic, but she saw that although Jiang Ben shook his head, he had already taken something out of his sleeve.
He stood up and placed the palm-sized object on the tables in front of Long Yangjun.
"My young master has already met Her Highness the Princess, so there is no need to go to the Princess's residence to submit the name card, right? I will ask Lord Long Yang to act as a matchmaker and present the name card to Mr. Wei for review. If possible, I will ask to see Her Highness the Queen Mother of Wei again."
Although he didn't like that boy Wei Ji very much, he still couldn't be frugal with the etiquette he should have.
"ginger--"
Wei Zipei was surprised and delighted by these sudden words. Her face was so red that she almost forgot to breathe.
Lord Long Yang took the name card An Ran, opened it and looked at it for a moment, then raised his eyes and smiled.
"Mr. Jiang, you want to..."
"I want to marry Princess Wei Zipei of the Kingdom of Wei," Jiang Ben said, spreading his sleeves, "Let the others go."
His expression was solemn, and there was something solemn that he had never seen before.
This girl is not as dignified and steady as other princesses, and her bluffing behavior is almost like a fool. But when I am around her, I feel relaxed and comfortable, and I am very happy for no reason.
Especially when he woke up from a coma after being seriously injured and saw Wei Zipei with a piece of grass stuck in his head and being caught by the guards, Jiang Ben felt that all the haze in his life had dissipated.
How could he allow such a woman to marry someone else? Her short sword once accompanied him to defeat powerful enemies, so let her accompany him for the rest of his life.
He was not afraid of making noise either way, so he reluctantly accepted it.
It was already dark, but the main hall of the Wei embassy was still lit.
The prince of Qi had already left after lunch. Wei Zipei locked himself in the dormitory for a long time. Finally he figured out something and invited Lord Long Yang to come over.
"Brother is anxious to choose a son-in-law for me," Wei Zipei looked at Long Yangjun, took a deep breath and said, "You made it up, right?"
Long Yangjun is not only talented in literature and elegant, but also superb in swordsmanship?He was also a diplomatic envoy of the State of Wei, and he was an eloquent person.
One word can bring peace to the world, and one word can also start a war.
Long Yangjun looked at her with interest and asked, "What does princess mean?"
"You made up a few words to force Jiang Ben to ask for marriage, right? My brother already likes Jiang Ben, right? What is your purpose?"
Wei Zipei looked at Long Yangjun quietly, with an expression that no longer showed the shyness and joy that Jiang Ben had shown when he proposed to marry.
She looked at Long Yangjun, waiting to hear the huge conspiracy.
