209 [Benefits]
??A follower who is not astonishingly good at appearance can imagine that a dignified prince is not so superficial?
Princess Mingyue is very beautiful, and the prince falls in love with her at first sight. But that is not enough to fascinate him. When it comes to their status, there is no shortage of beautiful women.
Some things are inconvenient to say more.
In the 14th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (640), Hou Jun gathered to pave Gaochang and set up the Xizhou Protectorate in its place, which was later called the Anxi Protectorate.
It governs the four towns of Anxi, with its maximum jurisdiction including north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, to the west of the Pamir Mountains and to Da Persia. Almost the entire Western Regions are under its rule.
If we use one word to describe it, it is the supreme emperor of the Western Regions.
Kang Guo was naturally among them. He was so desperate that he cursed the Tang Dynasty and was respectful to the officials of the Protectorate and was often filial to him.
Lunis came to Datong to attend the dynasty meeting this time, and was originally to express respect to the Tang Dynasty and gain a lot of experience.
But when he saw Princess Mingyue, he suddenly had an idea, marry her and become the next Songtsen Gampo.
Songtsen Gampo, the founding king of the Tubo Dynasty, asked the Tang Dynasty for a princess after unifying the country. After being rejected several times, he even forced intermarriage by force.
Although the price paid is a bit high, the benefits after success are simply incalculable. With various advanced technology and culture, the Tubo Dynasty can have a prosperous and brilliant situation now, and this intermarriage accounts for at least half of the contribution.
Kang State is a small country, and it is impossible to force intermarriage by force, so he can only ask for a marriage gift. Now that his Majesty finally lets go, he must seize this opportunity. No matter how much the price he pays for it, it is worth it.
It is good that Princess Mingyue likes him, but it doesn’t matter even if she doesn’t like him. Because he is interested in the political wealth behind her, as long as His Majesty opens his mouth, he will already get it.
When we return to Kang State, we wear the tiger skin of the Tang Dynasty, other small countries must respectfully be respected, and there will be a lot of room for operation, and the prosperity and rise of Kang State will not be far away.
…
Princess Mingyue returned to the mansion and saw her father walking around in front of the hall from afar. That was the anxiety that he showed when encountering something difficult to decide.
"Aye, is there something big happening?"
"Oh!" the Duke sighed, "It's because of you."
Princess Mingyue was not calm, "Aye, what is going on? I don't want to be kept in the dark, so I married into the Western Regions in a confused manner."
"Today, I want to discuss with your uncles, but the risk of standing on the Queen's side is too great. I can't do anything about this time."
After saying that, the Duke sighed again. His eyes were filled with reluctance and pity, but there were some things that he could not change.
This is not his own home, with hundreds or thousands of people in his family. A wrong decision may cause the family to fall apart and never be able to turn over.
Few people are optimistic about Empress Wu. This is the Li family's world, the Li family's dynasty, and a woman's regent will never last.
As long as the emperor is in better health, he can attend the court at any time. At that time, those who stand in the wrong team will definitely not have a good ending.
The hope in Princess Mingyue's heart was shattered, and her heart was filled with desolation and sadness.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in her heart. He also participated in the imperial guards competition. It was easy to defeat Prince Kang with his strength and win the first place.
"Aye, you must..."
"Impossible." The Duke of the State interrupted her directly, "Junshi is from Empress Wu's faction, and he is the last insurance for this competition. Unless he is tired of living, he will not dare to do anything recklessly."
Princess Mingyue's smile froze and her heart was filled with bitterness. Unexpectedly, the guy who had always been like a follower was actually the subordinate of Queen Wu.
She knew that Junshi had always liked her, but she was not good at expressing herself. She was also happy to pretend not to know, so as not to lose such a capable subordinate.
Because of the fact that Princess Mingyue usually drives him to do something, and he does it obediently, making people unable to find any fault.
However, she was not sure if she wanted to gamble on her life this time.
The Duke of the State also knew her mood at this time, but it was useless to be sad and she had to take some action.
"Mingyue, how is the polo game today? Is that Prince Kang performing well?"
Speaking of this, Princess Mingyue lost the gloating she had at that time and said lightly: "Jun Shi cheated him. When playing polo, she fell off the horse. It seemed that she had suffered some skin injuries."
"Depending on your appearance, you probably didn't give him a good look." My daughter, Mo Ru's father, was very familiar with Mingyue. "Get two bottles of good golden sore medicine from the mansion and give it to each other, and if you get married, your life will be a little easier."
This is a steady and mature move, staying at the front line of people and meeting each other in the future. You have to take care of such small things, and the Duke of the State has taken great pains to do.
Mingyue was stunned for a moment and nodded immediately. She is also a smart person, and she will not know the benefits of betting on both ends.
However, before delivering the medicine, she still wanted to meet Junshi and see what he thought.
There are flying cavalry on duty in the Duke's Mansion, and Junshi is the commander of this flying cavalry. They are all stationed in the villa outside the Duke's Mansion.
Princess Mingyue did not spend too much effort, so she came to this other courtyard. She said straight to the point: "Junshi, go to the garden, I have something to tell you."
Junshi was not too surprised, as if this was a very natural thing, so he followed from behind and walked towards the garden.
The colorful gardens of the Duke's Mansion are full of flowers. The rockery with mountains, the vast lakes as wide as a mirror, the streams of streams, and the poetic pavilions.
But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is meaningless in the eyes of the two of them. Princess Mingyue crossed the bridge, turned around and looked at Jun Shi, who was standing opposite the bridge, and looked at him quietly without saying a word.
At this moment, she didn't know what to say.
She is selfish, but she is not the kind of green tea bitch with big breasts and brainlessness. Everyone is smart, so it doesn't make sense to say something like letting others die.
Moreover, thousands of words are not as good as one action. If Junshi is willing to sacrifice his life for her, then he will naturally come over.
Unfortunately, this time she was disappointed again.
Junshi stood opposite the bridge and looked at her calmly.
Although there was no verbal movement, judging from his expression and eyes, he was not enough to die for her, nor enough to bring the entire family to die for her.
Is love cheating girls, the adult world, or the interests are in charge.
After a long time, Princess Mingyue smiled slightly, turned around and left disappointed.
And Junshi almost shook his position when he looked at her delicate figure.
He was very sure that he was moved by the smile just now. If he was alone, he would be fine to sacrifice his life for her.
But he was not alone in his own hands. Reality does not allow him to pay for his love by paying for his life. The ending is already destined.
"This dress is really big, white, and round. Oops, okay~_~ It's really beautiful!"
Yuan Pengfei hid behind the rockery, staring at the white, big and round pair, beating as they floated up and down, and sighed sincerely in his heart.
“Who is there?”
The sweet shout sounded, and his eyes swept.
PS: The love logic of this movie is simply terrible. But if it were my game, the profit logic would make sense.
Oh, I can be a screenwriter if I accidentally...(?ゝω??)ゞ
Also, it will be updated later tomorrow.(*^▽^*)
