Chapter 401 Are you my sister?
The two of them walked into the palace, and a palace official handed Yan Li a mink fur cloak: "My face is cold, please put on the cloak to keep warm, princess."
Yan Li took the cloak and tied it on: "Thank you."
The two of them went to the Imperial Garden together, and the maids behind them automatically held up umbrellas for them.
Snowflakes are flying in the palace, and even though it has cooled down, it still has a beautiful artistic conception.
"You said you are sixteen years old this year?" Yan Li spoke first, with a different kind of familiarity and intimacy in his tone, "You just turned sixteen?"
"Yes." Xuanyuan Jiahe nodded consciously, then frowned, "How do you know my name?"
Yan Li said: "I heard King Feng mentioned it."
"I don't believe it." Xuanyuan Jiahe obviously wasn't that easy to fool, "Brother, why did I tell you my birthday? The twelfth lunar month has not yet passed, how do you know that my birthday has passed?"
Yan Li said warmly: "As the eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty, it is not difficult to know your birthday. What's more, the princess' birthday banquet must be celebrated, and the official ladies will be invited to the palace to participate in the palace banquet. Mu Cang and I came in After the Imperial City, anyone with a little bit of status will know about this if you ask casually."
Xuanyuan Jiahe felt that what she said made sense and did not ask any more questions.
"Sorry." Yan Li apologized, "I should have given you a 눃chen gift."
"No need to be sorry." Xuanyuan Jiahe turned his head and glanced at her, "You even came empty-handed to form an alliance between the two countries, and you brought me a gift?"
Yan Li was silent, shook his head and chuckled: "That's different."
Xuanyuan Jiahe asked: "Why is it different?"
Yan Li said: "The treasury of the Southern Kingdom is rich. It doesn't make any difference whether I give you a gift or not, but I should do my best for your 눃chen."
Xuanyuan Jiahe pouted: "I don't need 놚."
A smile flashed across Yan Li's eyes: "Is there someone you like?"
"No." Xuanyuan Jiahe shook his head, "There are not many reliable men, and I don't want to get married."
"Then recruit a consort." Yan Li said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Just a person with a gentle temperament, good temper, personable demeanor, and understanding."
"I don't want to recruit a consort." Xuanyuan Jiahe frowned slightly, and there seemed to be a bit of worry hidden in his eyes, "꽭떘Good men are rare, and I look down on those who are not outstanding."
"Rarely?" Yan Li raised an eyebrow.
Xuanyuan Jiahe nodded slowly: "Except for the Ninth Prince of Mu Kingdom, the Crown Prince of Zhao Kingdom, and the Emperor of Yong Kingdom, I think there are not many outstanding men in the Nine Kingdoms."
"Then your standards are quite high." Yan Li laughed, "But that's not right."
Xuanyuan Jiahe frowned: "What's wrong?"
"Whether a man is good or not cannot be judged by his reputation." Yan Li's tone was gentle, as if she was teaching him, "You don't see many men in other countries, so it doesn't matter what they are like. Just talk about it. From the perspective of the Southern Kingdom, among the royal families, the Phoenix King and the Yu King are both good, but they are your brothers and should not be judged by the standards of husbands. "
Xuanyuan Jiahe narrowed his eyes and turned to look at her calmly.
"Recently speaking, Feng Mingqi, Lu Chuan, Rong Xiao, and Shen Yanshu are all very outstanding people——"
"Wait a minute." Xuanyuan Jiahe interrupted her suddenly. When he looked at Yan Li, a look of caution and thoughtfulness appeared in his eyes, "Why are you so familiar with them? Have you met Lu Chuan and Shen Yanshu?"
When did you meet?
Yan Li smiled calmly: "I have indeed met Rong Xiao and Feng Mingqi, and I have also talked to them. I had contact with them when I was in the Mu Kingdom. Lu Chuan and Shen Yanshu heard them mentioned by King Yu."
Xuanyuan Jiahe looked suspicious, and after a moment, he slowly shook his head: "That's not right."
Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
"Even if you have met them, you can conclude that they are good people based on just a few words or understanding?" Xuanyuan Jiahe frowned, with doubt in his eyes, "Are you prepared? Come?"
"Are you ready?" Yan Li laughed, "What are you preparing for? Is it possible to capture all of you back to the Jin Kingdom and be my consort's servants?"
"You have a beautiful idea." Xuanyuan Jiahe said this, but his tone was a bit coquettish unconsciously, "I have many outstanding men in the southern country, but they are not my type, let alone marry other countries. "
Yan Li was always calm and calm: "Really?"
Xuanyuan Jiahe was silent for a moment: "Um... you are the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and Mu Cang is the ninth prince of the Mu Kingdom. How will you get together in the future? Will you marry or marry into the Jin Kingdom?"
"you guess."
"I think that with the name of the God of War, the Ninth Prince will not marry the Jin Kingdom." Xuanyuan Jiahe thought, "Our emperors cannot agree. The departure of the God of War is a huge loss to the country, and it means a risk."
Yan Li nodded: "Yes."
"But you probably won't marry to the Mu Kingdom." Xuanyuan Jiahe sighed, "It's a bit of a dilemma."
After all, judging from what Yan Li did after returning to the Jin Kingdom, she should not be a Yong, and she would not simply be a princess.
If she marries and goes to the Mu Kingdom, everything she has done before will be in vain.
Yan Li reached out and touched the top of her head: "It's not difficult."
Xuanyuan Jiahe was slightly stunned, a little surprised by her intimacy.
Raising her eyes slightly, she looked at Yan Li's delicate and beautiful face, and suddenly realized that apart from being younger than Miss Huang, she also had a different appearance from her. In other aspects - whether it was the tone of speaking or the look in her eyes, Her intimate movements, gentle smile, and even the demeanor between her brows are almost the same as those of the imperial sister.
Xuanyuan Jiahe looked at her blankly: "Sister Huang?"
Yan Li was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly and calmly retracted his hand: "Don't you want to call me sister?"
"You are my sister?" Xuanyuan Jiahe frowned and stared at Yan Li without blinking, "Are you my sister?"
Yan Li smiled and said, "You can treat me as your sister."
Xuanyuan Jiahe was silent.
Although she wanted to refute, for some reason, she couldn't say a word of rebuttal at this time.
She really saw the shadow of her sister in Yan Li, which made her a little happy and a little nervous.
"The plum blossoms in the garden are so beautiful." Yan Li walked into the plum garden, raised her hand to touch the white snow on the branches, and the coldness penetrated into her fingertips, "The plum blossoms in the south are better than those in Jin and Mu."
Xuanyuan Jiahe didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly. The more he looked, the more familiar he felt. In a trance, he seemed to see the gentleness of the sister with a bit of coldness and majesty.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Yan Li stretched out his finger and gently tapped her forehead, "I'm so beautiful, why can't you take your eyes off me?"
Xuanyuan Jiahe came back to his senses, and gradually a look of entanglement, hesitation, shock and disbelief appeared on his face: "I... I think you look a lot like my sister..."
Yan Li looked at her steadily, and the corners of his lips slightly raised: "How similar are they?"
