Chapter 991 Wang Yuyan Enters Beijing

Su Mingzhe and Duan Zhengchun were chatting, and when they heard Ruan Xingzhu's crying, they suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Duan Zhengchun is indeed the most romantic man in Tianlong. When he heard his woman crying, he immediately felt sorry for her and felt uneasy. He hurriedly bowed to Su Mingzhe and apologized, then went into the carriage to coax his woman.

When he entered the carriage, he saw Ruan Xingzhu holding a gold medal in her trembling hands.

Duan Zhengchun took it and looked at it. On the gold medal were engraved the twelve big characters "Stars in the sky, shining brightly, forever brilliant, everlasting peace". Only then did he burst into tears and burst into tears.

Su Mingzhe stood outside the carriage, listening to the crying of the family of three inside, and could only smile awkwardly with Chu Wanli, Gu Ducheng, Fu Sigui, and Zhu Danchen:
"I didn't expect that the King of Zhennan would be such a passionate person..."

After a while, Duan Zhengchun and Ruan Xingzhu were still sad about Ah Zhu's injury, but Ah Zhu was mature and steady, and persuaded her parents to calm down.

Duan Zhengchun then remembered that Su Mingzhe was still standing outside waiting for him.

After getting out of the carriage, Duan Zhengchun thanked Su Mingzhe again and apologized:

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Su!"

"The reunion of the Prince of Zhennan and his family is a cause for celebration. There is no need to be so formal about these trivial matters!"

Su Mingzhe smiled and changed the subject, handed the carriage to Chu Wanli, and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Duan Zhengchun quickly called Su Mingzhe and said:
"Mr. Su, I am in a hurry today and cannot be polite. Please forgive me. In two days, Duan will definitely come to visit you. I hope Mr. Su will be willing to meet you."

I have to say that Duan Zhengchun really kept a low profile. Even when facing a little-known person like Su Mingzhe, his attitude was overly nice.

Faced with Duan Zhengchun's goodwill, Su Mingzhe had no intention of refusing.

According to state etiquette and ministerial principles.

Su Mingzhe is now a minister of the Song Dynasty and should not have any interactions with other countries in private.

However, Su Mingzhe, relying on the protection of the 'little emperor', did not care about these details at all.

After saying goodbye, he returned to his own residence.

During the few days he was away, Qin Hongmian would definitely miss him. It was even possible that Qin Hongmian wished he would never come back.

However, Mu Wanqing stayed in the front yard every day waiting for the man to come back.

Su Mingzhe asked the people from the Imperial City Bureau to go back and report, and he went straight back to his residence. After seeing Mu Wanqing, he carried her back to the backyard to rest.

On the second day.

Duan Zhengchun sent someone to deliver a visiting card and arrange a time to visit.

Su Mingzhe agreed and asked his servants to prepare the welcoming ceremony early the next day.

The next day.

Duan Zhengchun came with a valuable gift.

Su Mingzhe took the gift list and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile:

"Prince Zhennan, you are too polite. Dasong and Dali are brothers and friends. We are just doing what we can. There is really no need for you to be so polite."

The gift list included 108 sea pearls, a three-foot-tall fiery red coral tree, valuable gold, silver, jade articles, tea, BMWs, magic weapons, etc.

If estimated based on market prices, these gifts are worth at least 100,000 taels of silver.

Duan Zhengchun saw Su Mingzhe accept the gift list, then he smiled warmly and said:
"Mr. Su saved my daughter's life. I will never forget this. These are just small gifts to show my appreciation."

The two chatted for a while.

Su Mingzhe noticed that Duan Zhengchun seemed to want to say something, but perhaps because he was hiding something, he swallowed his words back.

Considering the generous gift from Duan Zhengchun, Su Mingzhe took the initiative to ask:
"Does the King of Zhennan need me to do something? Our two countries have friendly diplomatic relations. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"I dare not hide it from Mr. Su. There is something I don't understand. If I don't ask, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night after I go back."

Duan Zhengchun smiled awkwardly, then asked:
"Mr. Su, I wonder how your country knew that Ah Zhu was the daughter of Xing Zhu and I. I don't know what Duan is questioning when he asks this question, but Xing Zhu and I had two daughters who disappeared together. Since your country was able to find Ah Zhu, I wonder if there is any news about our other daughter."

"This...I'm afraid King Zhennan will be disappointed."

Su Mingzhe naturally knew where Ah Zi was now, but he would not tell Duan Zhengchun. "The story about Ah Zhu's life experience is actually related to another secret, which should not be disclosed. But the King of Zhennan is not an outsider now, so he will definitely not disclose the secret. It doesn't matter if I tell you now!"

"Actually, Ah Zhu's life story is related to a major treason case in the Song Dynasty. Ah Zhu originally settled in Yanziwu, Gusu."

"The Yanziwu is the descendant of Murong clan of Yan State during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Since the destruction of the country, Murong clan has been obsessed with restoring the country. To this end, they have committed many sins."

"When the Imperial City Division investigated the Murong family, they discovered that Miss Azhu was a leader of the Murong family. By some strange coincidence, they found out that she was the princess who was lost outside by the Prince of Zhennan and Madam Ruan."

When Prince Zhennan heard that his daughter A'zhu was one of the perpetrators of treason in the Song Dynasty, he was immediately frightened and panicked.

Fortunately, Su Mingzhe comforted him in time. Although Ah Zhu was one of Murong's retainers, she did not commit any serious mistakes.

The most important point is that Ah Zhu is not very old and has not been involved in Murong family affairs for a long time.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty decided to let Azhu go this time for the sake of the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

"Oh, right, Prince Zhennan, according to our investigation, Miss Azhu was injured because she followed the order of Gusu Murongfu to go to Shaolin Temple to steal the Yi Jin Jing. She was discovered by Shaolin Abbot Xuanci and accidentally injured. Since Miss Azhu was seriously injured, we can't ask her about the whereabouts of the Yi Jin Jing. Please ask you to return Miss Azhu when you go back, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Shaolin Temple."

When Duan Zhengchun heard that his daughter had actually gone to Shaolin Temple to steal the Yi Jin Jing, a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead:
"Don't worry, Mr. Su. After I go back, I will definitely ask my daughter to hand over this [Yi Jin Jing]!"

There has always been a saying in the Central Plains martial arts world that "all martial arts in the world come from Shaolin."

No wonder when Ruan Xingzhu and I asked her who had beaten her, she didn't dare to name the murderer.

"Then I'll trouble the King of Zhennan!"

Su Mingzhe and Duan Zhengchun chatted for a while, then served tea and sent the guests away.

Before Su Mingzhe had lunch, Duan Zhengchun hurried back and personally delivered the copy of Yi Jin Jing.

Su Mingzhe then nodded with satisfaction and expressed his appreciation for Duan Zhengchun.

If Duan Zhengchun had sent it back a little later, Su Mingzhe would have suspected that he had copied the text of the Yi Jin Jing.

Several days followed.

Su Mingzhe was either at home accompanying Mu Wanqing and Qin Hongmian, the "master and apprentice", and exchanging feelings, or going to the palace to cultivate relationships with the daughters of noble families who had already entered the palace.

this day.

Wang Yuyan was finally sent to Kaifeng Prefecture.

After a series of formalities, Wang Yuyan entered the palace and met the Grand Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang.

When Wang Yuyan, who had a fairy-like appearance, slowly came in front of the two palaces, before she could open her mouth to salute, the Empress Dowager could not help but exclaim:
"Yes, she is worthy of being named by the emperor himself. She is indeed extraordinary and has a beauty as beautiful as a fairy!"

The Empress Dowager praised him, but she secretly said "Oh no" in her heart.

When choosing a concubine for the young emperor this time, the Empress Dowager had already decided on the candidate in her mind. She was the daughter of an extremely polite and respectful official family.

Mrs. Meng not only understood the etiquette of a wife, but also had a dignified, graceful and elegant appearance, with the temperament and demeanor of a model mother of the country.

Unfortunately, this Meng’s temperament is too dignified.

There were several daughters of aristocratic families whose looks were extremely beautiful, and they far surpassed Meng in terms of beauty.

The Empress Dowager knew that if she insisted on making Meng the Queen, the little Emperor would probably not say anything but would definitely be unhappy in his heart.

By the time I pass away, I don’t know what kind of conflicts will arise.

In order to avoid unexpected events in the future, the Empress Dowager would have better let the young emperor make his own choice.

Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager also had a stubborn temper.

"The emperor is still young. Since I am in charge of the government, I must help him protect the family business and not let him act willfully."

"This way, a hundred years later, I will be able to face my ancestors with dignity."

"As for what the government wants to do, just let it be. I can't care about that..."
