The Protagonist’s Halo - Chapter 138

Not far away, Qi Lingyan couldn’t help but look at the girl who frequently toasted with smiling faces. She looked like a human being, with a golden crown and hair, dressed in a satin dress. Besides, there were not many jade ornaments. Her eyes were bright, bright as stars, nothing. Half a bit drunk, with a calm expression on his face, in the sight of prosperity and wealth, but he doesn’t feel restrained at all, and he is even more calm than others.

She does not have the slightest slender beauty, but no one dares to despise her or despise her.

Qi Lingyan was keenly aware of Xiao Han’s unusualness, but she mistakenly believed that this kind of unusualness was beyond the tolerance of the world.

Now I know that it’s not that the world can’t tolerate it, but that she has a broader sky.

Qi Lingyan envied the princess, because she could easily leave the wealth of the Long Princess and Hou Mansions.

The princess reads the princess day and night, but Qi Lingyan agrees with what Hou Ye said in her heart. Such a woman is not suitable for living here. Even if she stays, the princess may be happy, but the princess It.

She even breathed a sigh of relief. The princess was already the prince of South Vietnam. She was rich in a country and possessed so many things. She didn’t even bother to take a fancy to her, so she didn’t have to worry about losing it.

Qi Lingyan doesn’t know what kind of place Nanyue is. She only knows that she seems to be very rich, but she wants to be able to cultivate a princess like a princess who will always straighten her back without bowing her head to anyone. She should be very different. Place it.

But it didn’t take long before Qi Lingyan saw the protagonist of this palace banquet——Xiao Han slowly got up, and the emperor Qianming who was sitting at the upper seat bowed his hand to say goodbye, “Thank you, your Majesty, for the hospitality these few days. I have stayed in Daxia for a long time, and it is time to go back to South Vietnam.”

The banquet stopped abruptly. Although the music was still playing, no one dared to speak. Obviously many people didn’t expect Xiao Han to offer his farewell so soon, especially the bewildered King Han and the slightly regretful King Wu. It hasn’t been a few days since they made a political performance, and the important figures were about to leave.

But this kind of thing is obviously not enough for them to speak, and it depends on what the person in the dragon chair thinks and says.

Emperor Qian Ming didn’t frown at all, but kindly persuaded him a few words. After seeing that he couldn’t keep it, he smiled gently and agreed. He also asked what needs he could prepare for the crown prince and his party.

Xiao Han thanked him for his kind intentions, and said that he would leave tomorrow, so he would not continue to attend the palace banquet and drink, and he left the table first after convicting him.

Until people left, everyone at the banquet hadn’t recovered. It turned out that this is not a reception banquet, this is a farewell banquet.

King Han also thought about a lot of bitter words to persuade him to let the crown prince of South Vietnam stay in Daxia for a longer time to enjoy the scenery of Daxia, and also wanted to get his father’s favor on this basis.

While holding the wine glass, King Qi looked at Emperor Qianming’s kind smile, and somewhat suspected that his father had known about this a long time ago, otherwise he would not have acted so calmly and calmly.

…

When Xiao Han walked out of the Xing’an Palace, he heard someone calling her from behind. It was a familiar female voice, “Yinghuan.”

She stopped and turned around. She was not surprised to see Princess Zhaohua. Xiao Han said to Han Yu, who was guarding her safely, “I’m talking to her, you can come and wait first.”

Han Yu also stayed in Beijing for two or three days, knowing who this weak, beautiful and graceful woman is, and the biological mother of the crown prince. He nodded slightly and waited by the pool not far away, not to disturb the crown prince talking with the eldest princess, and he could always pay attention to the crown prince’s safety.

“Yinghuan.”

Xiao Han raised her eyebrows slightly, and Princess Zhaohua ran out by herself. Wouldn’t Wei Guohou stay with her? But in this palace, no one dared to do anything to Princess Zhaohua, especially now.

The eldest princess looked at her, feeling a little nervous, “Are you really going to leave.”

Only when he heard Xiao Han’s words at the banquet, Princess Zhaohua was panicked instantly. She was not ready to lose her daughter again, she had never thought about it. In the past, even though she was worried that her daughter would have deeper feelings for her adoptive mother, she didn’t take it seriously, thinking how an ordinary merchant could steal her daughter.

But now reality tells her that even if she is the eldest princess, she cannot force her daughter to stay or change the decision made by Xiao Han. All she can do is to softly ask her as a mother, “I am your mother, can’t you stay by my side?”

Xiao Han looked at her quietly. She felt guilty and patient with Princess Zhaohua, the person who gave birth to her, but her patience was limited. She whispered, “You are wrong, how is my life? It’s all up to me.”

“I have what I want to do, my responsibility, the thousands of people in South Vietnam.”

She chuckled, “And don’t you have Qi Lingyan by your side?”

Princess Zhaohua’s face was pale, her voice was a bit sharp, “No, you are my biological daughter.”

Xiao Han sighed, “Since you recognize her as your daughter, then treat her well.”

Although a little innocuous and careful, she is also excellent in all aspects, and she is also the type that Princess Zhaohua likes, otherwise she would not be accepted as a righteous daughter. It can be said that Qi Lingyan is the perfect daughter in the eyes of Princess Zhaohua, who made up for her various shortcomings as a mother.

The corresponding love and power were also given voluntarily by the eldest princess, and that was the eldest princess’s own choice. Even if the eldest princess was Xiao Han’s biological mother, she would not interfere.

Xiao Han admitted that she had done her filial piety over the years, and tried her best to preserve the safety and prosperity of her relatives in this world. Even if they didn’t want to stay in Daxia, it would be no problem to come to South Vietnam to find her.

But more than that is gone.

After many lives, one thing Xiao Han has learned is that she can’t afford anyone’s life.

No matter what the relationship between that person and her is, even if she becomes an emperor, it is impossible to satisfy all one’s wishes.

Xiao Han turned and left without any muddle-headedness.

And a beautiful girl came out from the palace lantern. It was Qi Lingyan who came to look for the eldest princess. She didn’t want to hear those words. Even if she knew that her status in the heart of the eldest princess was no better than that of the princess, Qi Lingyan heard the princess personally say it. In this case, I still can’t help but get hit hard and faltering.

Qi Lingyan bit her lip slightly, but she used to hold on to the desperate princess Zhaohua. After leaving the eldest princess, she was just an orphan, with nothing left.

Wei Guohou, who had just been summoned by Emperor Qianming, sighed when he saw the princess who was being helped back.

Their daughter is not an ordinary person. Relatively speaking, both the Long Princess Mansion and the Hou Mansion are too small, and she is destined to stay soon.

Even if the eldest princess is unwilling to face it, she will accept it sooner or later.

…

On the day of leaving Beijing, Emperor Qianming did not personally show up, but he still let the sons of the adult kings see off at the gate of the city. This kind of courtesy is a bit of an exaggeration to the prince of a country, or it may be because Da Xia has not yet decided on the prince, and if he is not good enough, he can only pull a few princes and princes to make up the number.

In addition, Emperor Qianming also ordered people to prepare a lot of rich gifts, and the east and west boxes were vast, and he sent an imperial forest army to **** them out of the country.

Emperor Qianming was probably one of the few people who didn’t want the Crown Prince of South Vietnam to have an accident in Daxia.

King Han still wants to try harder to brush up on his good feelings, but seeing Xiao Hanyun’s breezy appearance still can’t help being discouraged. Fortunately, in only two or three days, the other brothers, King Wu and Qi, have not made much progress. They will get the future friendship of the South Vietnamese monarchs or something. Let his mood not be too bad.

However, as the eldest prince, King Wu can still speak a few more official words on behalf of the Daxia royal family. For example, you can come to Daxia another day to play. They will definitely entertain you. The mansion built by the father of the emperor will be What has been kept for the crown prince, the relationship between the two countries can be maintained in harmony and more friendship can be enhanced.

Xiao Han maintained a polite but reserved smile.

Wei Guohou and his son were also seeing off. After Wu Wang completed his political mission, he knew and wittyly left room for Wei Guohou and his son to talk to Xiao Han.

Wei Guohou was probably one of the few people who knew why Xiao Han was leaving in a hurry. He also vaguely guessed that this was probably the last time he saw this daughter. There is not much to say, Xiao Han only simply said, “I will have a good time in Nanyue.”

Wei Guohou nodded silently. He could not imagine how his daughter would live and what he would do.

Xiao Han could also understand this father’s silence. Not everyone in this world can do whatever they want.

Zhao Huaiting pressed his lips tightly, “Take care all the way.”

Xiao Han nodded, and said casually, “You can also visit Nanyue in the future, and I will treat you well.”

After saying goodbye briefly, Xiao Han got into the carriage.

Seeing the carriage driving far away, Zhao Huaiting asked his father, “Why not let my mother come to see him off.”

Wei Guohou said indifferently, “It’s just a sorrow for coming.”

…

After May, the South Vietnamese delegation arrived in the capital and was ordered by the new monarch to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations with Daxia.

The news spread all over the government and the people. When Qi Wang Zhaodi heard it, he almost missed the tea cup.

Only then did he understand why his father didn’t leave the people for a while, to draw in and cultivate relationships, so as to lay the foundation for the future.

It turned out to have received the news that the Nanyue monarch was seriously ill and there was not much time, so he sent people back so readily.

And after Xiao Han went back, it was precisely for succession to the throne.

By the way, I also asked the delegation to come over and send a paperwork, indicating that the Nanyue throne has been changed, and she will be the master in the future.

There is no princess Zhao Yinghuan in this world, only Xiao Lingyue, the new Nanyue monarch.

Emperor Qian Ming naturally received the news immediately.

According to the spy’s report, more than three months ago, Crown Prince Xiao Lingyue returned to Nanliang and successfully succeeded to the throne with the support of the elders and the four major families. Although he is still young, no one disrespects himself. This transition of imperial power There are hardly any waves, and now the situation in South Vietnam has stabilized, and its development is flourishing and vigorous.

Emperor Qian Ming originally had some expectations, but he didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. It seems that his niece’s strength should not be underestimated.

He squinted his eyes slightly, and after reading the document covering the seal of the South Vietnam, he immediately drafted a decree that Jin Feng Wei Guohou was the first-class Wei Guo Gong. This is a decree, as long as the crime of conspiracy is not involved in the future, the three generations of Weiguo Gongfu will never fade. Even if the new emperor really wants to move Weiguo’s mansion, he should also consider the Nanyue side.

When the imperial decree came down, Zhao Huaiting was on duty at the official office, and then inexplicably, he did not do anything, so the title he inherited was promoted first, and he still did not lower the title. The news spread quickly, and his colleagues all came forward in a swarm to congratulate the son of the new king.

The newly-launched Guogong Mansion is also a city, and there is a steady stream of congratulations from all parties in Beijing, not to mention the rewards of your majesty. It is not easy to be promoted in Daxia. Even the former defender of the country was granted the title because of his assistance to his majesty, and several times of feats in suppressing the rebellion. Now he is once again promoted to the country’s duke, which is equivalent to the pillar of the country. Chong, envious of the Manchu civil and military, they may not be able to mix in this life.

Zhao Huaiting couldn’t deal with the enthusiasm of various people in the government office, so he had to take leave and return home. He was still young, and he didn’t know the meaning of this grace.

But Wei Guogong understood that Daxia wanted to establish diplomatic relations with South Vietnam in order to maintain harmony with the Southwest, and not to use troops. The best way to show sincerity is to show kindness to Wei Guohou, which should now be called Wei The Guogong Mansion seemed to be promoted without success, but in fact, all these were based on the face of the new South Vietnamese monarch Xiao Lingyue.

For the sake of Daxia, Duke Wei Guo also had to cooperate, and he calmly and respectfully accepted the will. In addition, the queen mother took Princess Zhaohua into the palace to recuperate, and comforted him by the way.

In the past five months, Princess Zhaohua often suffers from insomnia and dreams. She has also been seen by the imperial physician in the palace and prescribed medicines, but the effect is not great, because it is a heart disease and a woman’s disease.

The meaning of the queen mother is also the meaning of Emperor Qianming. He didn’t care much before and only allowed the imperial physician to take care of the princess’s mansion, but now Xiao Lingyue has become the monarch of Nanyue, and he still has the real power. Well, otherwise, if you accidentally end up depressed, it’s not easy to explain to the people on Nanyue’s side.

Princess Zhaohua felt bitter in her heart. First, she lost her daughter. After many years of recognizing it, she finally left without staying by her side for long.

Emperor Qianming didn’t care about the imperial sister who had suffered the pain of losing a daughter again. He was more concerned about practical interests. Xiao Lingyue, as the monarch of South Vietnam, had a far-reaching influence on the future of Great Xia, far more than a small princess.

The queen mother also comforted her daughter and asked her to take care of the overall situation and not to miss the peace between the two countries for her own sake.

In fact, everyone knows that the right to choose is no longer in the hands of Princess Zhaohua.

The only person who can decide is Emperor Qian Ming, or Xiao Han.

…

Regarding the establishment of diplomatic relations, there were discussions. In addition, the South Vietnamese delegation also brought gifts prepared by their monarchs, including gifts for Emperor Qianming and the Queen Mother, and gifts for the eldest princess and Weiguo, as well as the palace. A portion of the Nine Princes.

It caused Han Wang and others to feel a little sour. They haven’t had a good relationship with the Nanyue monarch. How could the younger one and a half children still make people wonder.

It wasn’t that he was particularly concerned, but Xiao Han hadn’t forgotten what he had casually promised. Anyway, it was what he ordered when arranging the mission.

When officials from the Ministry of Etiquette sent gifts to the palace of the Ninth Prince and his consort Xu Wanyi, both mother and son were surprised and unexpected.

Xu Wanyi did give birth to the idea of ​​letting her son hold the golden thigh of Nanyue Crown Prince Xiao Lingyue. After all, her son was just an unloved and somewhat stupid prince, not a protégé, nor a sage, and he would never know which poor country it was in the future. However, Xiao Lingyue was the future king of South Vietnam, and he had much more prospects. However, after only one or two days after Nien was born, she resigned and returned to China. Xu Wanyi still sighed that her mother and son did not have this blessing.

I didn’t realize that the crown prince Xiao Lingyue not only succeeded to the throne after returning to China, but also didn’t forget a joke to the Ninth Prince and sent the delegation with a gift.

Although not as precious and precious as the gifts to your majesty the queen mother and the princess, it is also a kind of heart. I learned that the Nanyue monarch also gave Xiaojiu something, and Emperor Qianming gave a lot of rewards. Even the mother and son of the nine princes Xu Wanyi had a better life in the palace.

The Ninth Prince had a better impression of the cousin of the princess in his heart, especially his mother and concubine told him privately at night that if the new emperor treats him badly in the future, he will go to Nanyue to join the monarch. .

The precious gift from South Vietnam gave Princess Zhaohua a little comfort.

In the eyes of others, Princess Zhaohua is so good, she is a princess, she has a husband who loves her in every way, and has two outstanding and talented sons. The righteous daughter is a famous and talented woman in Beijing. The daughter who is living away is still the Crown Prince of South Vietnam. Now she has been promoted to the South Vietnamese monarch. Who can have such a good life.

Xu is a person’s life is too smooth, then the bitterness she has tasted will make her uncomfortable.

…

Since Xiao Han succeeded to the throne, he couldn’t go out and travel like he did when the crown prince.

She originally thought that the Nanyue King could drag on for a few more years. Although it was useless in government affairs, she could be a mascot. In fact, Xiao Han doesn’t think there is anything bad about being a mascot, as long as it is the kind of unfettered and named.

After returning to Nanyue, Xiao Han and Elder Han had a separate conversation.

Elder Han had already guessed about her life experience a long time ago, thinking that it would be Daxia’s noble family. But from the beginning, not to mention, after Xiao Han’s talents were revealed, even more did not want anyone to know, including Xiao Han himself.

He was also deeply worried about whether Xiao Han would not return after going to Daxia.

Xiao Han is his student and the crown prince he is looking forward to. Although young, every decree issued is of great benefit to South Vietnam. If there is anything that is above all to Elder Han, it is only the interests of South Vietnam.

He hopes to realize the glorious era of Nanyue, and he can see it in his lifetime.

Xiao Han smiled, “If I want to stay in Daxia, I won’t be back.”

She looked calmly at the magnificent blue sea and blue sky before her eyes.

Extraordinary————

For the rest of her life, Princess Zhaohua would remember her daughter in Nanyue from time to time, and also named her granddaughter Sihuan. There was nothing left for Duke Weiguo and her two sons.

Qi Lingyan married in the second year after Xiao Han left. Although the other party was not a nobleman, he was also a gentleman from a family. Although the mother-in-law pays attention to the rules and somewhat dislikes the fate of Qi Lingyan’s parents being dead, she is afraid of the eldest princess in the Palace of the Guardian. Therefore, Qi Lingyan’s life went smoothly. After the princess became seriously ill, she personally came back to attend her illness, and the outside world praised her for her filial piety.

Even the two wives of Zhao Huaiting and Zhao Yanqi are very grateful to her, it is because the eldest princess and mother-in-law are too delicate and more difficult to serve after being sick, and her temper is always good and bad, so Qi Lingyan can be as gentle and filial as ever. Considerate and respectful.

What she got now was all because of the princess, and it was nothing if she got angry, so many people couldn’t ask for it. Qi Lingyan smiled sarcastically in her heart.

She would occasionally think of the princess, who now sits on the king of a country.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Daxia and South Vietnam, new technology and culture have continuously flowed into Daxia, which also brought some atmosphere of openness in South Vietnam.

This openness is not the ignorance that sour scholars despise.

But after the development of navigation technology in South Vietnam, it has expanded its territory, and has been constantly exposed to new lands, new countries, and all kinds of new things. Not only has it spread to South Vietnam, but also has established diplomatic relations with South Vietnam.

The men of Daxia gradually have many people who want to go sailing and open up new territories. The women of Daxia gradually changed many habits, such as foot binding, after being constantly influenced by new and open things in the whole society.

Qi Lingyan’s husband, after making some friends who have had sailing experience, took the initiative to insist on not allowing her little daughter to bind her feet, even if Qi Lingyan’s mother-in-law was so angry that she was sick.

Emperor Qianming had an unexpectedly long life, but in his later years, the prince fought endlessly under his knees, and the dying of flesh and blood made the court turbulent. Fortunately, for some special reasons, the Weiguo Palace was able to stay away from the whirlpool and don’t have to worry about being dragged into the water. Be safe.

The final winner was unexpectedly the Ninth Prince, who everyone thought was stupid.

Although the ninth prince was not smart enough, he was kind-hearted and eager to learn. Even after he succeeded, he did not cruel the brothers, but only raised them, and the officials in the court who supported the prince did not. Be convicted of conviction. These actions not only did not destabilize his throne, but on the contrary, the turbulent Daxia Dynasty was finally able to recuperate for decades, and the new emperor was very willing to learn and introduce new technologies from South Vietnam, actively communicate with South Vietnam, and abolished it. Many bad habits, such as foot binding and festivals.

Historical records:

Xiao Lingyue, the fifteenth monarch of the South Vietnam, had both literary talent and military strategy when he was young, possessing the talents of leisure group, free spirit, and easy to travel through the mountains and rivers.

After succeeding to the throne, he will make great efforts to govern, and his talents will be great. It made South Vietnam enter the era of maritime colonization, and expanded the territory of South Vietnam.

During his reign, numerous scientific and technological achievements appeared, glass, shipbuilding and navigation, planting and improving agricultural tools, and medical technology were countless and prosperous. According to future generations, it has succeeded in leading other countries by 200 to 300 years.

In the thirty-two year of Qing’an, the Central Plains was in a war and the Great Xia was subjugated, and Wei Guogong was rescued and treated favorably by fleeing to the land of Nanyue. Later they were divided into two groups, one stayed in Nanyue as an official to preserve the blood and thrive, and the other chose to return to the Central Plains.
