A quarter of an hour later, Princess Changle, who was dressed as a maid, ran out of the Everpeace Marquis Manor.
Her face was as red as a ripe apple.
"I actually kissed the Marquis of Chang An. Heavens, even if I die immediately, I, Chang Le, won't have lived in vain.”
She jogged all the way, her tears of happiness blurring her vision.
As a result, she did not notice that Li Jing's carriage had stopped in front of the manor.
A tall and fit young lady in purple robes alighted from the carriage.
It was Li Nongyue, who had come to talk to Lu Bei.
When she got off the carriage, she subconsciously glanced at a servant girl who was running past her.
"Greetings, Miss Li!"
Butler Zhang Di saw that things were not good and quickly shouted.
"Your voice is so loud, I'm not deaf!”
Li Nongyue was shocked and immediately reprimanded him.
"Yes, yes, yes, Miss is right. Miss Li, please come in. My master is at home.”
Zhang Di didn't say anything and welcomed Li Nongyue into the hall with a smile on his face.
"Nongyue, you're here?"
When Lu Bei saw Li Nongyue, he quickly walked up to her.
His smile was a little unnatural. He had clearly just received news of his wedding with her, and now, because of a series of events, he was about to have another wife.
This made him feel a little awkward.
"Lu Bei, I came here this time to tell you that I support you!”
Li Nongyue took a deep breath and said cheerfully.
"Ah?"
Lu Bei was stunned.
He thought that Li Nongyue was here to settle the score, but Li Nongyue's first sentence stunned him on the spot.
"Although I, Li Nongyue, have an unyielding personality, I am not a woman who is easily jealous. Princess Chang Le and I do not have any major grudges, so if giving up the position of a common wife can prevent her from marrying the Turks, I am not absolutely unwilling. But let me make it clear first, I'm the one who allowed you to marry her, not the one who was forced to accept it!”
Li Nongyue said solemnly.
"Yes, you allowed it. Thank you.”
Lu Bei said gently, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Li Nongyue, I, Lu Bei, did not misjudge you!
"Lu Bei, it's my fault that you have to come back alive. Back then, I forced you to go to the battlefield. You've already risked your life for me. Now that you're risking your life for Princess Chang Le, I have no right to blame you. At most, we'll be even. But you have to come back alive..."
Li Nongyue was halfway through her sentence when her tears fell like rain.
Lu Bei smiled gently and pulled her into his arms."Silly girl, I'm not only going to the battlefield for the people of the world, but also for you!”
"Really?"
Li Nongyue raised her head and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, a man should protect his country and love his woman. Without you, my relationship with the Great Tang would be reduced to half. Do you understand what I mean?”
Lu Bei's imposing face was filled with deep love.
"Okay, as long as you promise me to be careful and come back alive, I won't feel guilty about angering you to the battlefield. You don't have to feel guilty about Princess Chang Le either.”
Li Nongyue smiled, making Lu Bei feel that all the spring flowers in the garden were blooming towards him.
"Alright, I will definitely do it beautifully and come back alive. It's a deal!”
Lu Bei smiled and opened his palm.
"Deal!"
Li Nongyue smiled and high-fived him.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly relaxed.
……
Meanwhile, in the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
The expressionless Du Ruhui found the Turkic prince Dieluo Zhi and told him the news of the Great Tang's decision to hold a civil and military competition.
"This prince has come with sincerity to allow your Great Tang to marry, but your Great Tang is using this method to stall me?”
Die Luozhi's originally arrogant expression immediately darkened.
"If you don't have the confidence to face the young geniuses of the Great Tang in a fair competition, you can leave. If you deserve a beating, our Great Tang is not afraid of trash!”
Du Ruhui looked at Dieluo with contempt.
"Is your Great Tang rejecting the marriage alliance?”
Die Luozhi asked with a threatening expression.
"Yes, we rejected the marriage alliance, but we gave you a chance to participate in the competition. If you're afraid, it has nothing to do with the sincerity of the Great Tang. You can go back and fight now.”
Du Ruhui smiled contemptuously.
If Dieluo Zhi refused to participate in the competition, then he could only make a move halfway. This was Lu Bei's plan to face the worst-case scenario.
"Hehe, this prince understands now. So if the princess is defeated in the competition, it won't count as a marriage alliance, right?”
Die Luozhi asked with a sneer.
"It's up to you how you interpret it, and it's up to you whether you participate or not. That's your business. Just tell me your decision.”
Du Ruhui replied expressionlessly.
"Hehe, fine. So what if this prince gives your Great Tang some face? This so-called groom search party, just go.”
Dieluo Zhi smiled coldly and agreed to this plan.
The fish had taken the bait.
