In the palace.

The eldest princess Liu Yi was frowning, looking at the letters coming from the border carefully.

The Huns once again invaded the border, looted villages and towns in Dayan, and kidnapped hundreds of people and thousands of cattle and sheep.

The Loulan Kingdom, which had joined the Great Yan Empire, was even looted and slaughtered a city and rushed to Da Yan for help.

When Liu Yi saw this news, he was immediately anxious.

But she did not immediately go to the emperor to say goodbye.

Border news will definitely be transmitted to the palace, but the speed is unknown.

Her letter was first reported after her confidants in the army received the news. The emperor and the court should have not received the news yet.

She is a general in the army and the only princess in Da Yan who enjoys the fiefs of the princes and has her own military country. Now that she is in a strong reputation, she naturally has to act in a low-key manner and can no longer arouse suspicion.

Liu Yi looked at the letter in his hand and was anxious, but it was useless.

She is now in Kyoto and if she wants to rush to the border, she must obtain the consent of His Majesty.

But His Majesty stopped her marriage.

I don’t know if I really thought about her or listened to Mrs. Li’s words and wanted to tie her to the big tree of the Li family.

As a relative of the outside world, the Li family's power is now at its peak. If they get her fiefdom and army again, they may be able to threaten the imperial power.

Your Majesty is old this year and has many illnesses. If he dies suddenly one day, who can compete with the Li family in this empire?

Moreover, Liu Yi has always looked down on the relatives of the Li family and Li Guangli himself.

So no matter what, she would never marry into the Li family.

"Your Highness."

Just as Liu Yi was thinking about something, the female guard named Ye Yi walked in quickly and said respectfully: "The message from the palace is sent to you immediately. Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Liu Yi's eyes moved, he immediately stood up and said secretly: Could it be that news from the border has been heard?

She didn't dare to delay, so she immediately left the palace, got on the carriage, and drove towards Weiyang Palace.

Except for the emperor, few people who can ride in a carriage in the palace have such honors, even the favored Li family.

The carriage was parked in front of Weiyang Palace.

The eunuch in the palace had been waiting for a long time, but it was Su Wen, the popular eunuch beside His Majesty.

The destruction of Prince Wei Liu Ju made great efforts.

Seeing that the carriage stopped, Su Wen hurriedly bowed to the ground, knelt directly on the ground, bent over, supported the ground with both hands, ready to act as a horse stool, and said flatteringly: "Princess, I'm waiting for you to get off the car."

Liu Yi ignored him and went straight down from the other side.

Su Wen was stunned for a moment, quickly got up, bowed to stand aside, with a flattering and flattering smile on his face, and said, "Princess, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, please."

Liu Yi was wearing a big red dress and her hair was hanging around her waist like a waterfall. She was tall and beautiful, but her expression was majestic. Her whole body naturally exuded a daunting momentum.

Su Wen only glanced at him and immediately lowered his head, not daring to look up.

Without talking to him, Liu Yi got off the carriage and hurried into the palace gate.

Su Wen trotted behind him and smiled, "Princess, don't worry, Your Majesty is talking to the concubine in the back garden, and General Li is also there."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yi stopped immediately, frowned and looked at him and said, "Which general Li is?"

Su Wen smiled and said, "Of course, he is the son of General Li's family, Li Pinggong, the nephew of the imperial concubine, and General Li Xiaojun."

Liu Yi's face darkened, he paused, and continued to walk forward.

Not long.

Su Wen took her to the back garden, quickly went to report, and screamed: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, is here."

An old voice rang out in the garden pavilion, saying, "Please hurry."

Liu Yi looked cold and walked over quickly, stopped outside the pavilion and bowed, "My minister Liu Yi, pay homage to Your Majesty."

In the pavilion, there is a velvet blanket.

Emperor Liu Che, wearing a black dragon-inlaid robe, sat there.

The Great Yan Emperor is now gray and has obvious aging on his face. His eyes, which once had bright taxes and profits, have become a little dim.

As he grows old, he is also his former wisdom and soberness.

Next to him, a woman who was only in her twenties was elegant, luxurious, graceful, and beautiful. She deserves to be the protagonist of "there is a beauty in the north, and she can look back and smile."

Standing beside him was a tall and handsome young man.

It was Li Pinggong, the son of Li Guangli.

Liu Che hurriedly smiled and said, "Ai, come and sit down quickly. I will introduce you to you. This is General Li Pinggong, the only son of General Li. When I talked about you just now, Pinggong highly praised you. He said he wanted to meet you for a long time, but unfortunately he didn't have that opportunity. I heard that he wanted to see you several times when he was at the border, but he refused. You, you, so arrogant."

According to seniority, Liu Yi is his aunt, but he is much older than Liu Yi and he grew up watching her grow up, so he usually calls her "Ayi".

Mrs. Li, who was standing beside her, smiled and said, "Ayi has the capital of pride. Your Majesty, look at my nephew, who is several years older than Ayi, but now he can only work behind his father. Not like Ayi, he led the army alone as a teenager and killed more Xiongnus than his father."

Liu Che glanced at her and smiled and said, "Is the beloved concubine blaming me for not giving Ping Gong the opportunity to lead the army alone?"

Mrs. Li's face changed and she quickly apologized: "Your Majesty atones, I don't think so."

After saying that, he quickly scolded Li Pinggong who was standing beside him and said, "Pinggong, why are you still standing there? Why don't you go see the eldest princess quickly!"

Li Pinggong just took a look and then stayed there.

He had already heard of the eldest princess' beauty, so he was prepared for it, but at this time he saw it with his own eyes, he was still shocked.

Of course, what shocked him was not just the beauty of this strange woman, but also her unique temperament. One glance made me fascinated and unforgettable.

He thought his aunt was already the best beauty in the world, but unexpectedly, the eldest princess was better.

My aunt's beauty may not be much inferior to her, but her unique royal temperament and powerful aura are far inferior to her.

"My minister Li Pinggong, pay homage to the eldest princess."

At the reminder of his aunt, Li Pinggong woke up in shock, quickly bowed and bowed deeply, feeling nervous and nervous for the first time.

Liu Yi glanced at him lightly, ignored him, but looked at Liu Che and said, "Your Majesty summoned me, is there any important matter?"

Liu Che smiled, picked up the wine pot himself, poured a glass of wine for her, and said, "If there is nothing to do, I can't call you here to chat? Ai, you and I have the closest relationship. You have been on the border for many years, don't be unfamiliar."

When Liu Yi heard him mention the border, his brows frowned slightly, but still couldn't help but feel anxious and said, "Your Majesty, I have been back from the border for many days, and I really can't let it go. I don't know when I can set off?"

Liu Che picked up the wine glass, drank it all, then sighed, and said, "Ai, it's not that I won't let you go. I have told you that you are already twenty-two years old this year. If I don't find a prince consort for you, I'm afraid that my father will know about it, so I will blame me."

Liu Yi frowned. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Che waved his hand and said, "Ai, you don't need to say more. I have decided on this matter and I have told you very clearly. After you get married, you can go back to the border. If you insist on not getting married, then I can only let you stay here forever and choose a prince consort for you."

Mrs. Li, who was standing beside her, also smiled and persuaded, "Ai, what Your Majesty said is that you are not young now. If you don't get married, people will gossip. People think that Your Majesty is too harsh on you and let you serve the country, but they won't let you get married."

Li Pinggong stood aside, bowed down, unable to see the expression on his face.

Liu Yi was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I can promise you. I can get married within three days. But..."

“But what?”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she was delighted and hurriedly said, "Ai, you just say it's okay. If Your Majesty doesn't agree, I won't accept it."

Liu Che also smiled and said, "Ai, as long as you are willing to get married, I will promise you no matter what the conditions are, and you will not be joking!"

This is what Liu Yi wants.
