On the day of the trip, the palace held a wedding ceremony. The envoys of the Kingdom of Jin delivered the betrothal gift and agreement to the new monarch. The trumpet sounded, the gongs and drums sounded, and Mei Niang was dressed up, wearing a silk brocade trailing red robe lined with national treasures "

"Colorful Phoenix Reflecting the Moon", wearing a golden phoenix crown with tassels hanging around her ears, and peony embroidered palace boots, she came to the main hall surrounded by Xi Niang to receive the title.

"Blessed by heaven, the emperor issued an edict: In the first year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Song Dynasty, the country's fortunes were prosperous. Today, Princess Anling, the fourth daughter of the late Emperor Shizong, is granted the title of Princess of Qin. She is sent as an envoy to establish diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Jin, and she has established a beautiful marriage with the crown prince of the King of Jin, which is shared by both countries.

The Harmony of Splendid, thank you for this."

"My daughter thanks the Lord for his kindness."

"Imperial sister, no gift." The new monarch personally helped him up, led him outside the palace, and climbed onto the city tower. Ministers and soldiers stood outside the city. Shi Lin and Fan Kun were ready to go, followed by Baoshan. The escort formed a human wall to stop the two swarming people.

The Taoist people, Bilian and Yuyan, lined up in the procession of the royal family members seeing off their relatives.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, the queen is a thousand years old, the princess is a thousand years old..." At this time, everyone knelt down one after another, and loud sounds of worship rang in their ears. Seeing such a grand scene, Mei Mei

In addition to being shocked, my mother's eyes searched uneasily for Shilin's figure in the darkness. The bead chain on her face was shaking and she couldn't see clearly. She was so anxious that her palms were sweating.

"Don't be afraid, my dear sister. This is the minister. The common people are congratulating you. I will send the royal sister out of the city in a moment." The attentive queen noticed the panic on Mei Niang's face and comforted her softly.

"Thank you, Queen." She suppressed her nervousness. After everyone got up, she followed the emperor downstairs and was led by the queen out of the city gate. The sedan chair was waiting at the door, and the people began to commotion, scrambling to see the princess.

appearance, the guards were more vigilant to protect their relatives.

Shi Lin stepped forward to salute and received the imperial edict. The queen and the princess came down from the inner sedan chair. Bi Lian looked up and saw the eye-catching red figure next to the yellow phoenix robe. He had not seen it for many years, but it was still clear to him. He could not help but burst into tears.

"Meiniang...it's Mei Niang."

"Aunt Lian, keep your voice down." Yu Yan saw her excitement and quickly helped her and warned her.

"The auspicious time has come, please get on the sedan chair, princess." The master of ceremonies shouted, and the queen took Mei Niang's hand.

"Imperial sister, today's kindness will be engraved in my heart. May you have a safe journey, always chant the local accent, and take care of yourself." The queen signaled, and the palace maid helped Mei Niang to walk to the sedan chair. Shi Lin was not far in front, seeing her slowly

Coming. Under the red makeup, their lowered eyes gradually rise, and when they meet, they feel like they are in another world.

"Mei Niang." Bi Lian suddenly knelt down and kowtowed heavily to show her unrequited gratitude. Mei Niang swiped her eyes and was shocked to see her giving such a gift. She turned around and ran away without caring about others.

The team was in an uproar.

"Bilian, don't be like this." She helped Bilian up and looked at her with tears in her eyes.

"Mei Niang, tell me what to say, I'm sorry for you."

"Stop saying that, Mei Niang is ashamed. Don't worry, Gu'an and Xiaoshan will return safely."

"Meiniang..."

"Princess!" Xi Niang reminded at the side, Mei Niang quickly let go of her hand, her eyes were red when she saw Yu Yan supporting Bi Lian.

"Imperial sister, take care of yourself." Yuyan's words reminded Mei Niang again that her mutual reluctance was put away in the urging. Mei Niang held back her tears and sat in the sedan chair. Shi Lin and Bi Lian looked at each other, deeply in their hearts, his

Facing his wife, he parted and reunited in front of him, not knowing when. He sighed, returned to the team and got into the sedan.

"Let's go!"

"Best farewell to the princess. May you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."

The wedding team of the Kingdom of Jin opened the way in front, with the sedan in the middle and the Song Dynasty guard at the end. They drove mightily to another strange country. The two people in the sedan couldn't help feeling sad. They let the hot tears fall behind them and burst into tears.

In the hearts of loved ones.

A wisp of wind and sand flies thousands of miles,

Thousands of miles of loess covers my heart’s infatuation,

I am so crazy that I don’t know when I will return,

When will the moon be bright and regretful...

Border, forbidden room.

Although they were prisoners, they were treated well. Gu'an and Xiaoshan were locked up in a closed room, with a narrow skylight letting in the peripheral light. The room was fully equipped with three meals a day, plenty of clothes, and no shackles or shackles.

, all treated as guests.

"A few months have passed, and I don't know how the situation is." Gu'an held the tea cup and frowned, adding a bit of vicissitudes to his thin face.

"It's almost time. The peace negotiation troops should arrive at the border soon. As long as the marriage is successful, we can go back." Xiaoshan is still strong and strong, with a little more stubble on his chin and cheeks.

"I really want to go back soon, I miss my children so much."

"Me too. Do you think we can get out safely?"

"I don't know, I'm afraid it's not that simple. The court's peace negotiations have always been about changing the soup without changing the medicine. People come in and people go out, only based on sincerity, not the life expectancy."

"Hmph! It was all because of my carelessness that I fell into the thief's scheme. When I get out, I must report to the emperor the conspiracy of King Lu to collude with the Jin soldiers and usurp the throne in a certain dynasty."

"Be gentle, be careful that the partition wall has ears."

"What are you afraid of? If you have the guts, come in and kill me now. It will be easier to go to Bijuan here. At worst, you can fight them and die. It's better than letting the fourth princess fall into the tiger's mouth and being bullied by the bastard prince." Xiao Shanyue said.

The more excited he became, when he learned that the imperial court would not fight but negotiate for peace, he became furious. As a military general and the emperor's consort, his life had to be exchanged for a weak woman. Thinking about it, he suddenly felt ashamed.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you die, what about the living people? You just don't care? Yu Yan and the child are waiting for you to go back, and you forget them so quickly?"

"Hey! It's just thinking about them that I've survived until today, otherwise I would have risked my life long ago."

"Haha, this is nonsense. My father has brought the princess to negotiate peace. The imperial court is determined to save people, how dare you betray the holy will?" Gu'an took a sip of tea and spat out a disdainful taunt.

"If you want to save people, you should fight and kill them. What does it mean to exchange for the princess? Am I, Qi Xiaoshan, such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? How can I survive if the princess falls into their hands? Is that Wanyanji out of the blue?

He is known for his frivolous heart and ruthless nature. No woman he likes can escape. How could the fourth princess, who is so weak, withstand his torture? It’s scary to think about it."

"Everyone has his own destiny. If you are born into an emperor's family, your fate will not be much better. Yu Yan is an exception. He asked you to be your consort and lived outside the palace."

"How long has it been? You still have the heart to tease me? Why don't you think more about Xiaorou, her sentimental character, I don't know how many tears I will shed for you." After Xiaoshan finished speaking, he climbed onto the bed, crossed his legs, and

He put his hands on his head and closed his eyes to rest. Gu'an poured another cup of tea and drank alone. From the time of the war to being captured, it had been a year since he had been separated from his family. The elders, wife and children were not sure if they were well. There was not a day when I didn't miss them. I once thought that I would never see them again.

He couldn't see her anymore, but after learning about the peace agreement, he rekindled hope. As long as he could get out, he vowed to stay by his family's side. Here, he saw too many cruel killings, and he completely understood human nature, and he longed for it several times.

Returning to his own world. Looking at Xiaoshan again, he is still ambitious, generous and cynical, and the general's fighting spirit can be easily aroused. However, as brothers, he also knows that Xiaoshan is also homesick at this time, and his heart is as fast as an arrow.

.

"Prince Consort, Doctor Xu, our prince has invited you." Suddenly, the cell door opened and the guard came in to announce. Xiaoshan sat up from the bed and winked at Gu'an warily.

The territory of the Kingdom of Jin is a vast prairie used for military training. On one side there is an awning, drums, and weapons on the side. There are three red-heart log targets in front of the soldiers. The soldiers carry bows and arrows on their backs. Jin Shizi Wanyanji sits firmly among them.

Under the thick sword-shaped eyebrows, he has piercing eyes, a straight nose, and plump lips, slightly raised. The north wind blows in the sky, causing the cloth tent to flutter violently. He is wearing a gray wolfskin jacket, shirtless,

Wearing only iron wrist guards, long braids combed behind his head, and a velvet sable felt hat, he glanced at Xiaoshan and Gu'an who were brought there with cold eyes. When he saw that they were tied up, he became furious and dropped the wine glass in his hand.

.

"You bastard, why don't you let go quickly? Drag out these idiots who have made their own decisions and beat them fifty times."

"My lord, have mercy! My lord, have mercy!" Several guards were dragged down. Wanyanji stood up and walked to Gu'an and Xiaoshan, looking at them carefully.

"I didn't expect that the Prince Consort and the Imperial Physician of the Song Dynasty were so young. I have been busy with government affairs and only now have time to meet them. I'm neglecting them."

"Is this an interview?" Xiaoshan responded. Gu'an was unwilling to speak at all. The prince in front of them was barely a few years older than them.

"My guards don't understand the rules and have wronged you two. Xiao Wang is deeply sorry."

"No, please tell us why the prince comes to us."

"Just do it! I admire the straightforwardness of my consort." Although he punished his subordinates, Wanyanji's mood today was not affected at all, because according to the spies' report, the princess' face was half-covered, but her beautiful face could not be concealed.

, which made him very satisfied, and he wholeheartedly waited for the day when he would be able to embrace his beauty. Wanyanji was the second son of the King of Jin, who had just passed away. He had practiced martial arts and swords since he was a child, and was good at riding and shooting. He joined the army to fight at the age of sixteen.

Outside, he conquered border countries and countless vassal territories, and conquered many kingdoms for the King of Jin. His achievements were outstanding and he was highly regarded. In Kyoto, he married a main concubine, who died of illness the year before last. He also had two side concubines and three concubines.

There are three sons and two daughters. Because of their marriage, they were given the title of prince, rewarded with a city, and their status was almost equal to that of their eldest brother, the prince.

"I heard that my consort's riding and archery skills are among the best in your country, so I have taken the liberty to invite you two here today. I want to see the real skills. I wonder if you two are willing to reward me."

"Your Majesty, thank you. Qi never shows off with force or competes with the enemy." Xiaoshan refused, and a dark cloud appeared on Wanyanji's sunny face.

"My Prince Consort has misunderstood. This is not a show off. I have been fond of riding and shooting since I was a child, and I have admired Central Plains Kung Fu. I have long wanted to appreciate and learn it. Today, let's put aside our identity, nationality, and all other distractions, and have a simple archery competition.

How about it?"

"Qi said not to compete with the enemy."

"An enemy country? Have you forgotten, my consort? In a few days, the Jin and Song Dynasties will get married. I will marry the princess of your country, and we will become royal relatives. How can we still be an enemy country?"

"Humph, at least for now."

"Your Majesty, you are being too serious." Wanyanji's request failed, and his face was very unhappy. Xiaoshan ignored him and still had no intention of compromising. The soldiers around him drew their swords one after another. Seeing the stalemate, Gu'an suddenly picked up the weapon next to him.

The bow and arrow, at lightning speed, aim at the bull's-eye in the middle and shoot.

With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew out from Xuan and pierced the center.

"Good! Mrs. Xu has good eyesight." Wan Yanji suddenly cleared up and applauded.

"It's nothing. In our dynasty, there are many people who are better than Xu in riding and archery. If the prince doesn't mind, how about letting Xu's consort compete in the competition?" Gu'an put down his bow and suggested with cupped fists. Xiaoshan looked sideways.

He will understand what he means.

"How presumptuous, who do you think you are to compete with our prince?" A guard suddenly spoke, but before he could finish speaking, he was slapped in the face, and blood immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Drag the unruly things out and slap them in the face."
