Chapter 187

"What is Zhu'er looking at? The gift list?" Liu Xiran turned her head to look at Zhu'er again, and found that her eyes still did not leave that thing.

"Xi'er, you are really smart, you can figure it out as soon as you guess it. That is the dowry that the emperor prepared for me. I thought it was nothing, but Zhu'er wanted to see if there was anything wrong. I, The more I look at her, the more I feel like Xing Nuan, although she is so much younger than Xing Nuan, but her personality is the same, so I have to obey her." Ever since she knew that she was going to be sent to marry her, the happiest thing that Ru Wan has encountered It was Liu Xiran who was able to let go and send Zhu'er to her side.Zhu'er and Xing Nuan are very similar. If she didn't know that Zhu'er was just Liu Xiran's maid, she would definitely think that Zhu'er was Xing Nuan's sister who had been missing for many years!

"Just let her take a look. There are men in the court. If you prepare something, you will naturally give it whatever you think is good. But in fact, you don't know the customs of Xiliao. If you give something wrong Things that are in place will become your first threshold, you don't want to be unable to get off the stage once you go to Xiliao, do you?" Liu Xiran felt that Zhu'er's thoughts were really delicate.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Er stood up, brought over the long list of gifts, and said, "It is said that the treasury was empty due to the war, but she refuses to lose face at all, and picks the best for everything." Send it."

"Is there anything wrong?" Liu Xiran took the list and glanced at it, and it was indeed a treasure.

"Aside from feeling that things are more expensive, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that although our princess' marriage needs a lot of pomp, it is for the sake of marriage after all. The country has sent the most precious person, and so many more Things are really not worth it at all." Zhu'er's eyes were deep.

"If Zhu'er was a man, he would definitely be able to lead troops to fight, perhaps more powerful than those generals. If we were not forced to retreat by Xiliao's army, how could we have fallen to this point?" Liu Xiran put away The gift list, after sending away Ru Wan, the treasury is really empty.Sending so many things will definitely make Xiliao feel that we are afraid of him, and it will be difficult to take them in in the future.

Liu Xiran was thinking so, when suddenly the emperor was notified outside.Liu Xiran thought about whether to leave or stay, and finally decided that it was better to stay.So I went to meet Ru Wan together.

"Xi'er is indeed here!" The emperor said such a sentence as soon as he came in, which made Liu Xiran quite embarrassed.Ru Wan didn't give her any face and said, "Brother Huang really didn't come to see me. I'm leaving tomorrow. It's really hurting."

"Ru Wan, what are you talking about? Didn't the emperor come to see you every day? Why are you still playing with your temper?" The emperor lovingly pinched the tip of Ru Wan's nose.

"Anyway, I'm just a bargaining chip, otherwise why would you care about me so much? It would be great if I could really calm down the flames of war in Xiliao. If they don't want to quell the flames of war, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain? Is it?" Ru Wan knew her responsibility, and was even more worried that she would not be able to fulfill this responsibility.

"Xiliao has already promised, and he will definitely not break his promise." The emperor said with certainty.

Liu Xiran glanced at the gift list at the side, and still felt like saying, "In order to quell the flames of war, we have already given away the most precious people, haven't we? The emperor has already given away his own sister, which is enough to show his sincerity, yes ?"

The emperor frowned, "Xi'er, what do you want to say?"

"If the emperor wants to hear what Xi'er has to say, he must first forgive Xi'er's sins. Xi'er is just a woman, and she can't speak nonsense about the affairs of the court, so..." Liu Xiran said calmly.

"Xi'er, that's what you say, I listen, just treat it as listening to a friend, and don't pay attention to whether you are going to court or not!"

"Then Xier spoke bluntly. Does the emperor think that the dowry we gave is too much? I heard that in order to support the war on the frontier, the treasury has begun to empty. We have already consumed so much in the war. In order to end the war, we also We have already sent Ru Wan, the emperor's own sister, our sincerity is enough. So many rare treasures go with Ru Wan, it will only make Xi Liao feel that we are really afraid of them, not only the princess Send them all, and send so many treasures, so that they can return a little peace to our frontier." Liu Xiran looked at the emperor's thoughtful expression, but didn't notice any sullen expression on his face, so he continued.

"The purpose of our marriage is to show our friendship and tell people in Xiliao that war is not a good thing for either country. Isn't that right?" The emperor nodded, "Then, Xi'er has the courage to ask, Your Majesty What is the reason for giving away so many treasures?"

"Because it's Ru Wan's marriage, so I put extra heart into preparing so many things..."

"Use it to enrich the treasury of Xiliao?" After Liu Xiran finished speaking, he regretted that he had spoken too quickly. After all, the person he was facing was the emperor, the king of a country, and he actually questioned his decision here.Liu Xiran was ready to kneel down, but he heard him say——

"Xi'er's words are very reasonable... Those ministers only know how to flatter. Only Zhao Yun raised objections, but they were drowned out by their voices of support. Xi'er, you and Zhao Yun really have one heart."

Liu Xiran couldn't understand the meaning of these words, but she had never heard Zhao Yun mention the gift list, it would be too bad if the emperor thought that the two of them colluded together and blamed him.

"Xi'er has never heard the prince mention this matter..."

"Xi'er, you don't need to be afraid, I just said it casually. Since both you and Zhao Yun think it's inappropriate, let Ru Wan see for herself, draw out anything you want to take with you, and forget about the rest! "

"Yes." Liu Xiran agreed, and sent Zhu'er to get the ink pen, spread out the gift list in front of Ru Wan, let Ru Wan read it one by one, and draw out what she wanted.

"It's my good fortune to have a courtier like Zhao Yun in the court, but it's my misfortune not to have someone like Xi'er in the harem." The emperor sighed quietly.Liu Xiran immediately got up and said, "The emperor will definitely find that person!"

"Actually, I have already found it, but unfortunately she already has someone else in her heart. Take your time to read the gift list. I have other things to do, so I will leave first."

As soon as the emperor left the Princess Palace, Ru Wan smiled and said, "Xi'er, you shouldn't show off your intelligence in front of the emperor, he has never given up on you, and now there is no way to let go. Fortunately, ah , I won’t be here in the future, you don’t need to enter the palace anymore, so Brother Huang won’t have a chance to see you.”

"I don't want to show off my cleverness at all! But if I don't say it, I will feel very uncomfortable. After all, your marriage is already a great loss for us. Sending so many treasures there will not only make Xi Liao feel that we are really What is there to be afraid of other than them? This is not a bad thing!"

"Oh, Xi'er! Why did you get so excited when I just said that? Is it okay if I don't say it? I don't think there are many things I want on this gift list! Just take a few things and leave the rest Send it back." Ru Wan took a ink pen and scratched a few things on the gift list. "Actually, I think the best gift is the memories of me and you. Although Xing Nuan and Yin'er are unwilling to come, I can understand their feelings. They must be the same as me. The more this time comes, the more I feel There's really no need to say goodbye. If you don't say goodbye, you'll still feel that that person is by your side, and you won't feel really lost."

"On the contrary, I really don't think there is anything. Saying goodbye is saying goodbye. When there is not necessarily no goodbye, it takes a lot of courage to say goodbye. I will come not because I am not afraid and I am willing, but because I I know, it's inevitable. Since it's inevitable, there's no need to avoid it." Seeing Ru Wan's casualness, Liu Xiran smiled, and took out a box from her bosom.Pass it to Ru Wan.

"What is this?" Ru Wan took it curiously, opened it, and found several seeds inside. "Seed? What?"

"These are all useful things. Pearl will help you plant them. She also knows the specific function of the flowers from these seeds. Anyway, for you, if you want to participate in the harem They are very useful in battles. Even if you don’t want to participate in the harem battles, they are also good medicinal materials, which can let you pass safely.” There is also a peace talisman under the seeds, which is Liu Xiran’s letter to leave Qianming Temple Time is convenient for Ru Wanqi's one.

"Xi'er, since when did you believe in such things as the peace talisman?" Ru Wan took out the peace talisman and looked at it carefully.

"It's not whether you believe it or not, it's just a thought. Since I can't be by your side, let this little thing bring my blessings by your side, and it's also my miss, right?" Liu Xiran said, acting like a magic trick He took out an abacus from his body, leaving Zhu'er on the side dumbfounded.

"Miss, at the beginning Zhu'er thought you were just joking, do you really want to take this abacus away with me?" Seeing Liu Xiran nodding seriously, Zhu'er was even more dumbfounded, "I originally thought that the abacus would stay by your side , you see me occasionally, you will think of me, and you won’t forget Pearl so easily. I didn’t expect that you really want to give the abacus to Pearl!”

"I will never forget you!" Liu Xiran stuck out her tongue, "It's you, Pearl, once you leave me and go to the place you want to go, you don't know if you will have time to think of me!"

"I'm with the princess, so I don't have a chance to forget you! I don't know if we go to Xiliao, will we be inseparable from you!" Zhu'er suddenly became lively, but Liu Xiran didn't. I didn't think of this. Seeing Zhu'er like this is much better than the always cold Zhu'er before.

"I, it's not easy to forget you when I'm with those two girls at home!" Liu Xiran answered her.

"What if Se'er and Xian'er are also married?" Zhu'er asked again.

Liu Xiran really hadn't thought of this.She felt that she was still thinking that they might be back in a few days, not to a place that far away, not to go over mountains and mountains to the desert, and not to never come back again.

"So, miss, you can keep this abacus. In fact, Zhu'er's mental arithmetic ability is also the best in the world. Even if Xiliao doesn't have an abacus for Zhu'er to use, Zhu'er can still calculate everything very well. You don't have to worry too much." Zhu'er pushed the abacus into Liu Xiran's arms and walked away.
