The marriage between the Liao and Jin states has been decided. Zhao Yue, the fifth daughter of Emperor Xingzong, will marry the Liao Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty's Qi King Tu Meng.

Although the matter was decided more than a month ago, the marriage between the two countries, especially the two major countries, is not a trivial matter. The constitution and etiquette of all aspects are very complicated, and political marriages are of interest. Therefore, before the marriage is completed, the two sides will exchange interests. Of course, the equality of the exchange is equal or inequality, based on their own strength.

Changle Palace.

Two women were kneeling outside at this time.

"The Empress Dowager, Princess Changqing, has been kneeling outside for the whole afternoon. She has a weak bone. If she continues like this, she may not be able to bear it."

Wanniang walked to Li Yi and whispered to report.

Li Yi was kneeling in front of the Buddha, chanting with her eyes closed. When she heard Wan Niang’s report, the voice in her mouth paused for a moment, and then said, “Go and persuade her.”

"Yes, the Queen Mother."

Wanniang bent over and then turned around and left.

The two women kneeling outside, one of them was Princess Changqing. This name sounded a bit strange, but her name was Zhao Yue. Princess Changqing was Zhao Yue. With the decision of the marriage between Liao and Jin, Zhao Xun quickly appointed Zhao Yue as Princess Changqing and rewarded a large amount of money. This was Zhao Yue's dowry to marry Liao. Of course, these things were not in Zhao Yue's hands. Although Zhao Yue was named Princess Changqing and her status was greatly improved, there was no change in fact. She still lived in that cold palace, and she was still accompanied by Xiao Qiu, and her life was still so hard.

Zhao Yue looks weak outside, but in fact, her personality is extremely strong. Many people come to persuade her for the whole afternoon, but it is not without reason.

She was about to be close to Liao Kingdom. She would probably never come back in her life after leaving. So before leaving, Zhao Yue hoped to leave the city once and go to her parents' tomb to fulfill her last filial piety, but her request was ruthlessly rejected by Zhao Xun.

After the fifth request was rejected, Zhao Yue did not go to ask Zhao Xun, but came to Changle Palace directly and couldn't stand up, hoping that the Empress Dowager could satisfy her small request.

After Wanniang came out, she tried hard to persuade her, but Zhao Yue never said anything. Zhao Xun was already desperate for her coldness and ruthlessness. In the huge palace, who else can she ask for help besides the empress dowager?

At this moment, an eunuch hurried over.

"Auntie Late, the emperor is here."

The eunuch approached Wanniang and whispered.

Wan Niang nodded and said to Zhao Yue: "Princess, you have heard it too. The emperor is here. If he sees you like this, he will definitely not be happy."

Zhao Yue said in a plain tone: "The emperor is not a tiger, he comes when he comes. What's there to be afraid of?"

Wan Niang smiled bitterly on her face, shook her head, said nothing more, and turned around and left.

Zhao Xun arrived soon. When he passed by, Zhao Yue fell to the ground and shouted loudly.

"Zhao Yue pays homage to the Emperor."

Zhao Xun glanced at Zhao Yue with an expressionless face, said nothing, and kept leaving.

When he walked to the gate of Changle Palace, Zhao Xun suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at Zhao Yue who was kneeling there, and then said indifferently to Xiao Lezi beside him: "Send Princess Changqing back."

"Yes, the emperor."

Xiao Lezi bowed to accept the order.

Zhao Xun walked into Changle Palace.

Xiao Lezi came to Zhao Yue and whispered: "Princess, go back. You are here and you will only embarrass yourself."

Zhao Yue said silently: "Is the emperor so ruthless?"

Xiao Lezi remained silent.

Zhao Yue suddenly smiled. She struggled to stand up. Xiaoqiu, who was beside her, quickly stroked her and got up.

"When my father was there, he was cold to me, but he occasionally cared about my warmth and coldness. But what about the emperor? It's my closest bloodline, but it's not as good as a stranger. It's ridiculous."

Zhao Yue said this with a smile, but her smile was full of despair and coldness.

Shaking his head, Zhao Yue turned around and left, and finally said in his mouth: "The most ruthless imperial family."

Xiao Lezi remained silent. He could not do or say something, and he could not help.

Xiao Lezi turned around and said indifferently to the eunuchs: "What have you heard?"

The eunuchs quickly lowered their heads and said in unison: "Princess Yue didn't say anything."

Xiao Lezi glanced at them and walked towards Changle Palace.

"Mother, I'm here to pay your respects to you."

"The Emperor is here."

Zhao Xun stepped forward and helped Li Yi up.

Zhao Xun helped Li Yi sit down, and said with a smile: "My mother's complexion is getting better and better."

Recently, Li Yi has felt a little uncomfortable, so for the past month, Zhao Xun has come to pay tribute almost every day at dusk.

"Your Majesty, don't take some minor problems to your heart."

Li Yi looked at Zhao Xun, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "This child Zhao Yue is about to get married to the Liao Kingdom. It is probably difficult for him to come back."

Zhao Xun was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "My mother, I heard that your shoulders were a little sore these two days. I will rub them for you."

Li Yi sighed in her heart, knowing that the knot in Zhao Xun's heart could not be untied.

Li Yi could only change the topic: "You are the emperor, but the Ai family can't afford to do these things."

Zhao Xun rubbed Li Yi's shoulders and smiled and said, "I am the emperor, but I am also your son of the mother."

The mother and son chatted there for a while. At this time, Xiao Lezi came in and bowed and said, "Emperor, Empress Dowager, Duke Songping County is here."

The Duke of Songping County was Li Mancang. Li Xun was named Duke of Zhao because of his military achievements in the Western Regions. His father was honored by his son. Li Mancang's title was also promoted. He was promoted from a marquis to a Duke of County and was rewarded with 5,000 mu of fertile land and 100,000 taels of silver. However, under Li Xun's persuasion, Li Mancang refused to accept land and money.

After a while, Li Mancang entered the room and saw that Zhao Xun was also here, so he quickly knelt on the ground to salute.

"See the Emperor."

"Get up quickly."

Zhao Xun strode forward, helped Li Mancang up, and said in a gentle tone: "There are no outsiders here, so my uncle doesn't need to be polite."

"I dare not, I dare not."

Li Mancang was timid. He was an honest man. The emperor was too polite to him, and Li Mancang was a little at a loss.
