Chapter 454 Misunderstanding?

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Yang said with cupped hands: "More than a month ago, the conflict between Nanping Kingdom and neighboring Blackwater Kingdom occurred at the border, and the scale continued to expand. Behind Blackwater Kingdom, there was the shadow of Shuiyue Kingdom. Nanping National Day When they were defeated, they asked us for help. However, we had no time to care about anything else at that time, so we let them hold on for a while. When we were free, we sent troops to assist. However, not long after, they came with news that the dispute had been resolved. There is no need for us to send troops, and there is no need to talk about this matter."

The old emperor nodded and said: "It seems that if they want to get married this time, they should want to consolidate the relationship between the two countries, so that when we encounter danger next time, we can help in time."

Several other ministers nodded in agreement, and they had similar thoughts. After all, although some ministers could not understand the princess who was sent to marry her, it was an indisputable fact that she was favored in Nanping Kingdom. Nanping The country was able to send her here for marriage, and the intention of showing goodwill was very obvious.

"Do you know how the conflict between Nanping Kingdom and Blackwater Kingdom was resolved?" the old emperor suddenly asked.

"I don't know, Nanping didn't elaborate." Li Yang said.

The old emperor nodded and didn't take it too seriously. It was just a conflict between two small countries. This kind of thing happened often. There was no need to pay too much attention to it. If Shuiyue Kingdom hadn't been involved, perhaps Nanping Country wouldn't have been involved. Ask for help.

Thinking of Shuiyue Kingdom, the old emperor's face darkened, and he said: "Shuiyue Kingdom is not doing the main business, and they will never be able to do without such small tricks behind the scenes! At that time, the army of the demon world was attacking the human world. They didn't think about it. It’s really abominable to repel the demonic army but instead cause trouble everywhere!”

In fact, all four major countries have done similar things, and the Yanfeng Kingdom is no exception. They are all for the benefit of their own country. However, last time in the wilderness plain, because of the actions of the other three countries, their Yanfeng Kingdom was no exception. The Feng Kingdom's army suffered heavy losses, and the relationship between the four countries has never been very good, so at this time, the old emperor naturally would not forget to scold Shuiyue Kingdom.

After scolding Shuiyue Kingdom for a few words, the matter was temporarily put aside, and everyone returned to the previous theme again.

"Nowadays, there are rebels all over our Yanfeng Kingdom, and there are also demonic armies causing chaos everywhere, which has caused people's hearts to wander. It's hard to guarantee that those vassal countries will not have other ideas. Since Nanping Kingdom has taken the initiative to express marriage, it's better not to refuse." The old emperor said: "Qi Aiqing, you are responsible for receiving the Nanping delegation. According to the time, they should arrive in Yanyang City tomorrow."

If Nanping wants to marry a princess, it is naturally impossible for the princess to come alone. There must be an accompanying envoy and even a dowry.

"Yes, I accept the order." Qi Kai said respectfully.

"Don't make any omissions in the reception etiquette. The Nanping people may have some grudges because they were not able to send troops to help in time last time. What's more, they took the initiative to marry the princess this time to show their goodwill. We can't neglect them." The old emperor said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qi Kai said again.

"bump!"

Just when the old emperor was about to say something more, the door of the royal study room was suddenly pushed open by someone from the outside, and then a person walked in.

The brows of everyone present, including the old emperor, jumped unconsciously. Although they had not seen the person yet, everyone knew who it was.

Seventh Princess Zhao Qi!

In the entire Yanfeng Kingdom's palace, the only person who dared to break into the Imperial Study Room without notification was Seventh Princess Zhao Qi, the princess whom His Majesty the Emperor loved most.

"Father!"

Sure enough, the voice of Seventh Princess Zhao Qi came over soon, and there seemed to be some anger in her voice.

The old emperor's originally serious face showed a helpless smile, and said to the ministers: "That's it for today. You can go down first."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll take my leave!" Everyone responded in unison.

As soon as everyone turned around, they saw the Seventh Princess Zhao Qi walking over angrily. Seeing what Zhao Qi was wearing, everyone was surprised. However, they were all old officials, no matter how surprised they were, the expressions on their faces There was nothing strange about his expression at all.

"I have met Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess." Several ministers said in unison.

However, the seventh princess ignored them and walked straight past them towards the old emperor.

The ministers were not surprised or surprised, so they continued to move forward and left the imperial study.

"Qier, why did you come to see your father? Do you miss your father?" The old emperor changed his serious and majestic expression when facing the ministers, and said to Zhao Qi with a smile.

"Father, I'm just leaving the palace for a few days, why did you send so many people to capture me?" Zhao Qi said dissatisfied.

The seventh princess Zhao Qi who was complaining to the old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom was the "young master" Zhao Qi whom Wu Fan had met before and wanted to help. During the last birthday party, the seventh princess Zhao Qi came to I asked the old emperor to go out of the palace to play, but the old emperor didn't agree.

However, Zhao Qi did not give up. In the following time, she kept trying to sneak out of the palace, but failed. It was not until this morning that she finally succeeded and sneaked out of the palace with her personal maid Xiaoqing.

She was originally in a happy mood, thinking she could have fun and take a stroll, but she accidentally discovered the guards in her palace following her. Zhao Qi thought these people were sent by her father to take her back, so, He wanted to escape, and in a panic, he bumped into Wu Fan's carriage, which led to the traffic accident.

Soon after she separated from Wu Fan in the restaurant, Zhao Qi was found by the guards again. She didn't want to be taken back to the palace, so she wanted to escape again. Who knew that she met Wu Fan and the other two again, which led to the following events.

Zhao Qi was very dissatisfied with her father for taking her back. After returning from outside the palace, she didn't even change her men's clothes, and came to the imperial study to complain to the old emperor angrily.

"No way, I just asked them to follow you secretly and protect your safety. Unless you want to leave the imperial capital, don't show up and bring you back when it's dark. I didn't ask them to catch you." The old emperor was surprised.

Zhao Qi was slightly stunned and thought about the situation at that time. When she accidentally discovered those guards, they seemed to follow her from a distance and had no intention of coming forward. It was just that she was too nervous at the time and thought they were coming to catch her, so she wanted to escape with a guilty conscience. When they met for the second time, her first reaction was to escape, and the direction she fled was exactly the direction of the city gate.

So, it was because of her misunderstanding that all this happened?

Oh, that's not right.

Zhao Qi looked at the old emperor fiercely and said in surprise: "Father, so you knew I had sneaked out of the palace a long time ago?"
