chapter 2(1/2)
Besides, there was no real expectation for this marriage, and Li Fengming was somewhat embarrassed by the newlywed husband's dislike in public.
But now that things have come to this point, if she shook her face to fight back at Xiao Mingche, she would be even more laughed at.
So she steadily held her solemn posture and pretended to be fine and persuaded Xiao Mingche: "Since the border war is urgent, your highness should not think more. I will do my best to the Empress Dowager."
Maybe Xiao Mingche knew that his actions had embarrassed her. After standing for a while, he let out and said, "Okay."
Since he accepted Li Fengming's proposal, the prince couldn't say anything more. He praised Li Fengming for his words and praised her as a wise and wise wife, and the matter was decided.
Due to the urgent military situation, Xiao Mingche and several generals need to set off immediately tonight. Li Fengming can go to the Dicuishan Palace to serve in the morning.
In other words, after completing the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds had to go their separate ways for only two hours.
Fortunately, they are no different from strangers, and they have no worries about parting, so they are even spared from farewell.
After returning to the dormitory, Xiao Mingche quickly took out a robe that was convenient for riding a horse.
When he entered the side room and changed his clothes, a waiter outside the door reported, "Your Highness, you have prepared some clothes for you, and the horses are ready at the door of the mansion. You can set off at any time."
Whether it was Xiao Mingche himself or the servants in the mansion, he was obviously very skilled in the matter of "His Royal Highness Huai went to the front line temporarily".
It only takes two incense sticks to the sky, but everything is ready.
Li Fengming sat on the edge of the bed, with his hands behind him, temporarily forgot the faint embarrassment he had before, and stared at Xiao Mingche's back in surprise.
He didn't respond, and went to the carved chest of drawers against the wall to get something. When he turned around, he saw her tilting her head to look at him.
He had no expression on his face. He strode over and stood still, looking down at her.
"Tonight, thank you for helping me." His tone did not fluctuate much, but his tone was a bit inexplicably dumb.
Li Fengming looked up at him, blinked in confusion, and replied with a smile: "It's really a surprise to be able to get your highness thanks. I thought your highness didn't accept this favor."
"You just paid for your own retreat in order to help me. Are you clear?" Xiao Mingche asked.
Li Fengming felt incredible and couldn't help but chuckle.
Just now, she helped Xiao Mingche in the hall. The fact in the eyes of others was that "she was rushing to please her newlyweds, and for this reason she was not hesitant to lose face to her mother country."
Is this a big deal or a small deal? The other side of Wei will not attack immediately, but I will never forget to remember her.
If you are an ordinary princess, if you can't continue to marry your husband in the future, or if your diplomatic relations between the two countries are broken, you can imagine the outcome.
Xiao Mingche could have pretended to be stupid for this invisible sacrifice.
If he didn't mention it, Li Fengming wouldn't be shameless and would take the initiative to say such words as "I offended my mother country to help you."
As long as he is not clear, he doesn't have to worry about Li Fengming threatening to take this kindness as a threat and ask for it.
But he actually made it clear.
He was afraid that she would just act impulsively and had no idea how much he had paid to help him.
Li Fengming had to withdraw his complaints about Xiao Mingche in the hall earlier. This man was actually intentional.
She smiled sincerely and bent her eyebrows: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about me. Since I dare to do that, I have weighed the pros and cons, and I am not confused and reckless."
Xiao Mingche didn't know, and Li Fengming didn't plan to tell him that he was not an ordinary princess.
Regardless of whether there is any of the previous transactions, the mother country, Wei, is not her way out.
She couldn't go back at first.

Xiao Mingche stared at her smile and nodded slightly, his expression still remained silent.
After rolling lightly in his throat several times, he spoke again: "Sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you on purpose just now. If you have any offense, please forgive me."
Although he apologized, he did not want to explain the reason. As he spoke, he bent down slightly and placed a key and a small gold seal on the edge of the bed.
"As long as you don't touch me in the future, you can take everything in the mansion and make a deal?"
Li Fengming was not a fool, and immediately understood that he was going to exchange the treasury of the Huai Prince's Mansion and form an alliance with her as a "surface couple".
She was filled with joy.
The two of them had similar plans for this marriage. She didn't need to worry about negotiating and got the result she wanted easily. She also unexpectedly had more favorable conditions such as "to take everything in the mansion by yourself." How could she not be happy?
She was much more relaxed, and she changed her solemn and decent look in front of others. She curled her red lips slightly frivolously, and threw her eyes at him with a charming look, which was meaningful.
"Your Highness means that you and I will always be in name but not true in the future. Your bottom line to me is 'I don't want anyone, I want money to take it away'?"
Xiao Mingche's eyes were slightly slight and his face was covered with a faint frost. After taking a step back, he squeezed out the word "Yeah".
Although he only changed from "expressionless face" to "cold and expressionless face", Li Fengming still keenly noticed this difference.
She calmly restrained her indifference from being complacent and replied softly: "Okay."
"You have to work hard to take care of the Empress Dowager. The Ministry of War has a 'Flying Post' in Mulan Town at the foot of Dicui Mountain. If there is any urgent matter, you can use my golden seal to send a message to me."
After Xiao Mingche finished his explanation, he hurriedly left.
****
Xiao Mingche and Li Fengming didn't know that in just one night, the story of "Your Highness and the Princess not fulfilling the house" has spread throughout the Huai Palace.
After all, the prince and his party suddenly visited at midnight last night. After only half an hour, Xiao Mingche left the mansion with several generals.
After careful calculation, the newly married couple Huai Wang was alone in the bridal chamber, which took less than two hours.
This also requires putting aside trivial matters such as "relifting the veil, drinking wine, and narrating and communicating", and adding and decreasing will not be left for a long time, and it is not enough to complete the house.
Fortunately, Uncle Jiang, the manager of the royal palace, has always been safe.
Before dawn the next day, Uncle Jiang found that everyone in the mansion was talking about the matter behind his back, and immediately stopped him and imposed a few minor punishments on the most talked, so he barely stopped talking.
At the time of the year, the maid Chunyu Dai was married, and Xin Hui simply packed some luggage for Li Fengming, and then prepared to go to the Dicuishan Palace.
Before leaving, Li Fengming called a waiter in the mansion and asked curiously: "How is the difference between the 'Flying Post' of the Ministry of War and the ordinary poster?"
Her mother country, Dawei, also has an inn, but she really doesn't understand the mystery of the "Flying Post" in Qi State.
The waiter did not answer, but looked up carefully at her, looking a little alert.
Although she was the Princess Huai who was married by the Ming media, she was a foreign princess after all. Everyone in the mansion knew that she and Xiao Mingche had not yet fulfilled her relationship last night, so the waiter was instinctively alert to her problem.
Seeing that he looked strange, Li Fengming immediately understood that he was concerned about his identity as a foreign princess, so he explained with a smile: "Before leaving last night, his Highness specifically reminded me that if the Empress Dowager had an urgent matter, he would ask me to send a message to the 'Flying Post' in Mulan Town, Ministry of War. I was a first-timer and knew nothing about the 'Flying Post', and I was afraid that it would be bad if I got something wrong then."
The waiter suddenly realized and then answered respectfully: "Return to the Princess, the 'Flying Post' was set up by the Ministry of War to facilitate the delivery of urgent military reports. There is a 'Flying Post' inn on all the official roads in our Daqi every twenty miles. The posts are full of the most exquisite 'Snow-traveling horses', which can travel 500 miles a day. If the soldiers who participated in the war had letters at their homes, they could also use the 'Flying Post' to send them to the front line."
"So that's it," Li Fengming asked again, "Then, if I send a message to His Highness with the 'Flying Inn't' in Mulan Town, how many days will it be delivered?"
The waiter giggled awkwardly: "The Princess forgives the crime. I don't read much, especially I don't know how to count. In short, Your Highness is going to the battlefield in the southern border, which is nearly three thousand miles away. The fastest passage of the "Flying Post" is 500 miles a day. Please do you calculate it yourself?"
"Three thousand miles away, six days to reach? Sure enough," Li Fengming nodded with a smile, "Thank you."
****
The Dicuishan Palace is located twenty miles south of Yongjing.
Sitting in the carriage along the way was boring, Li Fengming casually talked to Chunyu Dai and Xin Hui about the "Flying Post" of Qi State.
Chunyu Dai and Xin Hui have been following Li Fengming since childhood, and they are her closest partners.
When there are no one else, the three of them are free from restraint in their conversation.
Xin Hui suppressed her voice and said nervously: "Your Highness still has the heart to miss the 'Flying Post'? Are you not worried about the incident last night? "
Li Fengming lay on Chunyu Dai's lap and asked lazily, "What kind of thing do you need to collect? Have you forgotten why I came to have a kiss?"
Xin Hui was stunned, thinking of some causes and consequences, and immediately looked at Chunyu Dai awkwardly.
Chunyu Dai's view was obviously different from Xin Hui: "Although your highness decided to be a little willful in the matter last night, there was nothing wrong with it. No matter what Your Highness did, there was always someone who didn't want her to go back in the 'over'."
Xin Hui pursed her lips and whispered: "But, the Queen must want our Highness to go back."
"Mother..." Li Fengming hurriedly stopped, slowly closed his eyes, and said again, "Your Majesty the Queen is now also a clay Buddha. It is not easy for her to win a good result of "marriage and protecting her life" for me."
The Great Wei implemented the "co-governance of the emperor and the empress", and the emperor and the empress were both called His Majesty.
After a long time, Li Fengming spoke softly, breaking the suffocating silence in the car: "Xin Hui, what is my current identity?"
Although she closed her eyes and spoke softly, she also smiled on her face, but her tone showed a natural and solemn dignity.
Xin Hui realized her implicit sound, then lowered her head and whispered in a low voice: "Li Fengming, the daughter of Li Dian, the King of Yu of the Great Wei Dynasty, specially appointed Princess Jinping. He married to Qi and became the Princess Huai."
No matter which country the emperor grants his title, every word contains the holy heart, and it is not difficult to guess.
The word "ping" is destined to have no way out from the day Li Fengming stepped out of the border of Wei.
Li Fengming restrained his momentum and smiled softly: "So, yesterday's all kinds of things are like yesterday's death. Now I think about it, my past life was tired and boring. In the future, I just need to live my life with simplicity. Isn't it beautiful? Since I chose to protect my life with my relatives, I didn't plan to go back."
Xin Hui suddenly realized and focused on it: "Then your highness will manage this marriage well and be a loving couple with King Huai."
"Xin Hui, why are you like this?" Li Fengming smiled muffled and slight, "There are so many beautiful men in the world. If you can only favor Xiao Mingche for the rest of your life, I will ask you, are I losing money?"
"Yinghua Treasure Mirror" can be said, Xia Langjiao, Wei Langyi; Liang Lang is elegant and profound, Song Rong is tall and powerful...
"Well? Chunyu, what are you doing when you are photographing me?" Li Feng opened his eyes in confusion and met Chunyu Dai's gaze.
Chunyu Dai lowered his eyes and smiled at her: "I know what Your Highness is thinking. But you are different from the past. If you want to realize the dream of "a beautiful man in the world to visit" in the Qingqiu, then your savings must be at least as many as ten thousand golds, right?"
Although Li Fengming had a generous dowry, if she wanted to live the kind of life she wanted, the dowry would obviously not be able to move.
