Chapter 706: At Least 16 Years
Xu Qing said: "Of course this Marquis knows, but if the second prince of your country wants to marry my princess of the Central Plains, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while."
Hearing Xu Qing's words, Agula said, "We've been talking for more than a month. At worst, wait another two months. My mission can afford it."
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not just two months."
Agula was stunned and said, "Isn't it two months? How can it take a few months?"
Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "It will take at least sixteen years."
"Sixteen years?!" Agula's eyes widened: "Is Hou of Anding County entertaining me?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "Don't dare, it's just that all the princesses of my Chu country have already married, and there are no more princesses under your Majesty's knees except for a few underage princes. Even if I start working hard towards your Majesty If your country wants to marry our princess, I’m afraid you need to wait for the princess to be born and then grow up? And there is no guarantee that the princess will be born.”
Agula: "..."
After all his calculations, he never thought that such a situation would happen, that there would be no princess in Chu country!
What can I do?
Xu Qing looked at Agula and said: "If your country insists on using in-laws as the bond of alliance, I am afraid that you can only marry the prince and daughter of your Khan, but now the adult princes of our Chu country are already married. Marriage, I am afraid that the main concubine will not be able to become a concubine, but the side concubine can still be a side concubine."
Agula couldn't help being a little dumbfounded when he heard this, they can only be side concubines when they get married in the grassland?
This is a little underestimating their grassland, right?
Although the nominal princess who married was actually the Khan's adoptive son, how could it mean that their in-laws in the grassland could only be concubines on one side?
It’s fine if their grassland is weaker than Chu, but now their grassland dominates the north and is not much weaker than Chu, which has firearms, and its territory even surpasses Chu. It would be too small to be a side concubine. Prairie?
Xu Qing looked at Agula and continued: "By the way, as far as I know in Chu, the Khan of your country doesn't seem to have a daughter, right? Since neither your country nor ours have daughters, how can we talk about two in-laws? Is it possible?" Our country of Chu randomly picks a court lady in the imperial city to marry as a princess? Doesn’t this show that our country is very insincere? Your country will not accept it, right?”
Hearing Xu Qing's words, Agula's expression became more and more embarrassing, because they planned to marry a beautiful woman from the tribe in the grassland...
Now people have already said it in advance, not to mention that we don't have a princess, and you don't have a princess, it seems disingenuous to just find a woman to be a princess.
The more Xu Qing said that, the more Agula's face hurt.
Looking at it this way, the second prince's visit was for nothing this time, and the beautiful woman Khan picked from the Wanyan Department was also useless.
Originally, they had prepared double insurance, thinking that if this one didn’t work, they would buy another one, but they never expected that Chu State would directly dismantle their double insurance without losing any of them.
At the same time, Agula was also horrified by Chu State's intelligence capabilities on the grasslands. They even knew whether their Khan had daughters. You must know that their grasslands knew very little about the children of the emperor of Chu State.
Moreover, the Marquis of Anding County said these words this time. Could it be that he already knew through intelligence that Khan wanted to adopt a daughter?
What he said today was to embarrass their grassland and give up?
Just when Agula's mind was full of thoughts, Xu Qing continued to speak: "Since neither the Khan of your country nor His Majesty has daughters of the right age, they can't form a friendship between Qin and Jin, and can only take the road of exchanging protons." , but we still have a lot of issues that have not been settled, and it would be too hasty to directly transition to the exchange of protons at this time."
Agula sighed and said: "What the Marquis of Anding County said is true, this envoy is reckless this time, don't blame him."
Xu Qing said with a smile: "Where are these issues that both of us will have to face sooner or later, so the envoy raised it first so that my court can consider it earlier. After all, if the two countries form an alliance, it will be beneficial to both of us and will not cause any harm. I only hope that the hopes of our two countries can converge and negotiate a win-win situation."
Xu Qing dismissed the desire to marry and be married in the prairie. Of course, there is no other way. I am afraid that the prairie mission will have to stay in Chu for another sixteen or seven years. Xu Qing is quite looking forward to it. In this case, Xu Qing You can procrastinate as long as you want.
Delayed until King Xian got impatient.
But it's a pity, Xu Qing can wait for these sixteen years but the grassland can't wait.
After sixteen years, attack Zhou again?
The day lily is cold!
Maybe the Emperor Zhou and Khan of this term have been boiled away.
Now the situation between Chu State and Grassland is quite clear, Chu State desperately delays, and Grassland can't afford to wait.
Of course, it’s not that the grassland can’t afford to wait, but that Wanyan Khan can’t afford to wait. After years of fighting, the troops of Wanyan’s tribe and the tribe they are loyal to must be exhausted. It’s definitely beneficial to recuperate for a month or two at this time. Harmless, but Wanyan Khan, whose ambition has been expanding all the time, obviously doesn't want to let the army he has trained so hard on the battlefield continue to cultivate like this.
After Xu Qing directly vetoed Agula's idea of getting married, she went home to cook for Su Qian. Now she can't starve her wife, because starving a lady is equivalent to starving a child.
Moreover, Su Qian's consumption these days is not ordinary, because after giving birth to the burden in her stomach, she has lived a life of practicing martial arts all day long.
Every time Xu Qing wanted to stop her, she would say that it was just a moderate amount of exercise, and she didn't want to stop until she was taken away.
This made Xu Qing quite helpless.
But seeing the lady practiced for so long but still doing nothing, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
But I have to say that Su Qian's martial arts practice is also very effective. Her body is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye every day.
Of course, Martial Dao's level is also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There is nothing that Ning'er can do with such an irresponsible mother, except when eating, there is no one to be found at other times.
Xuan'er now probably knows better than Su Qian how to be a good mother.
Anding Hou Mansion
after dinner
Xu Qing walked into the bedroom and asked, "Where's Ning'er?"
Su Qian sat on the edge of the bed with Xu Qing on her back as she straightened the quilt and said without turning her head, "After eating, Xuan'er carried her into the cradle and fell asleep."
Xu Qing leaned forward and put her chin on Su Qian's shoulder, put her arms around her waist, and said, "But my husband is not full yet..."
