Villain: We agreed to cancel the engagement, what are you regretting?

"It's very simple. I want you to be responsible for receiving the foreign envoys." Li Chenghuan said directly

"Isn't this the business of the Honglu Temple? Why should I intervene?"Wang Xuan frowned.

It's not simple, but Wang Xuan thinks it won't be that simple.

"He is a special person, and has a close relationship with your Zhenbei Palace."Li Chenghuan explained

"Who?"Wang Xuan was stunned to think that their palace had any connection with any foreign country.

"Borjigin Ajinai."

Wang Xuan had a strange expression on his face:"Qiyan tribe?"

Li Chenghuan nodded.

It was indeed a bloody relationship with his Zhenbei Palace.

The Qiyan tribe was one of the three major Rongdi tribes.

They had fought with the Zhenbei Palace for more than a hundred years.

Both sides had their hands stained with each other's blood.

It could be said that they were in a relationship of life and death.

In the battle in the north ten years ago, his father Wang Xiang led a lone army deep into the Khan's tent, led 3,000 cavalrymen to surprise attack the Khan's tent, chopped off the head of Gajir, the Khan of the Qiyan tribe at that time, and defeated the invasion of the Rongdi tribe in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for nearly ten years of peace on the border between Daqian and Rongdi.

"��Ajinai is the third son of the previous Khan of the Qiyan tribe, and the younger brother of the current Khan."Li Chenghuan continued to introduce him to Wang Xuan.

In fact, Wang Xuan didn't need her to introduce him, because he already knew who Ajinai was.

In the plot of"The Great Rivers and Lakes", Lin An used Ajinai to frame Wang Xuan for colluding with foreign enemies.

Wang Xuan even knew that Ajinai's purpose of coming to Daqian was not to celebrate the birthday of the empress, but to find out the truth about Daqian and bribe and make friends with ministers. He even tried to alienate the monarch and his ministers.

In the original plot, Wang Xuan could be said to have been tricked by him.

The Zhenbei Palace also fell apart under the conspiracy of him and Lin An.

Even without Li Chenghuan's request, he would have wanted to meet this"grassland wise general".

However, Wang Xuan was a little puzzled. Li Chenghuan asked him to receive Ajinai. Wasn't he afraid that the enemies would be jealous when they met, and then fight?

Even cause a diplomatic incident in the end and restart the border war?

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want me to receive you?"

"Yes, any questions?"

"So if I am unhappy, can I beat him up?"

"It's better not to, the ministers will be dissatisfied."

Wang Xuan understood, the empress meant that if you are not afraid of the ministers' dissatisfaction, you can beat them hard.

This reminded him of the current situation in the Daqian court, which is divided into the pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction.

Now that peace has been going on for a long time, the pro-peace faction has a higher voice. If the Honglu Temple is asked to receive them, they will definitely be afraid of taking responsibility and causing diplomatic disputes, and will be hesitant.

Now inside and outside the court, the only one who can control him and has an equal status is the Prince of Zhenbei, who has a close relationship with the Qiyan tribe.

"The empress wanted him to be her pawn! To discourage the arrogance of the Qiyan tribe."Wang Xuan understood the empress's idea in an instant.

This coincided with his own idea. He didn't mind being the empress's pawn for a while.

But if he wanted to be her pawn, he had to pay a price.

"I can agree to your majesty's request, but I have a small request."Wang Xuan said slowly.

"You are so brave that you dare to put forward conditions to me!"Li Chenghuan snorted coldly

"Isn't that what Your Majesty promised? How can I promise Your Majesty?"

"Humph! Go ahead!" Li Chenghuan wanted to see what kind of request Wang Xuan would make.

""I would like to borrow the True Dragon Map for a look." Wang Xuan said with a smile.

The True Dragon Map is a divine artifact handed down from ancient times. It is said that it contains the secret of the Heavenly Man Realm, and is now used to suppress the national destiny of Daqian.

This is a real divine artifact. Later, Lin An got the opportunity from it by coincidence and directly achieved the Heavenly Man Realm.

Wang Xuan wondered if he could cut off the opportunity in advance.

Hearing this, Li Chenghuan looked at him strangely:"Is that all you ask?"

"That's right!" Wang Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong.

"I agree. The True Dragon Picture can be shown to you for one day."Li Chenghuan did not refuse.

Wang Xuan was a little surprised.

He thought he was asking for too much, but he didn't expect Li Chenghuan to agree without even thinking about it.

Now he wondered if he had made a mistake. Wasn't this True Dragon Picture a divine artifact?

"It shouldn't be wrong. In the original plot, Lin An relied on him to prove his Dao to the Heavenly Man. We'll see when the time comes!" Wang Xuan thought

"I have agreed to your request, so I will leave Ajinai to you."Li Chenghuan said with a smile.

In this smile, Wang Xuan inexplicably felt a little bit of joy.

""If your majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first." Wang Xuan was about to slip away.

But Li Chenghuan grabbed him and said,"Don't be in a hurry to leave, my dear. It's time for dinner. Stay with me until you finish dinner!"

Then she dragged him into the hall without saying anything.

Wang Xuan struggled for a while, but couldn't get away. He could only follow her in.

During dinner, Li Chenghuan kept chatting with him about family matters. At this time, she didn't seem like an emperor, but more like an elder.

Wang Xuan coped with it while enjoying the imperial food, which was also a comfort.

After dinner, Wang Xuan stood up and took his leave. Before leaving, Li Chenghuan asked,"November 7th is your birthday, right?"

""Your Majesty, yes!" Wang Xuan didn't know why Li Chenghuan asked about his birthday.

"You should be coming of age this year! The ceremony will be held here, so I can enjoy the yellow leaves of the ginkgo trees."

Without waiting for Wang Xuan to refuse, she waved her hand and said,"My dear, please go back soon. I'm a little tired."

Then she went back to the palace.

What does this mean?

Inviting me to hold the ceremony in the palace?

Even the princes don't have this treatment!

What does the empress want?

Or is it a sugar-coated bullet to confuse me?

Wang Xuan instantly had a thousand clues, but no definite answer.

This is very different from the empress who executed the entire Zhenbei Palace in the previous life!

He couldn't tell which one was true and which one was false.

"Forget it, I'll think about it later!"

Wang Xuan shook his head and turned to leave.

In the hall not far away, Li Chenghuan looked through the window at Wang Xuan's departing back and couldn't help but sigh:

"Wang Xiang, Wang Xiang, you have hidden him for so long, so what? Some things are destined. You and I are just pawns, we can't hide."......

Wang Xuan originally planned to visit the General's Mansion after leaving Ziwei Palace.

However, after having dinner with the empress, it was too late, so Wang Xuan decided to visit again tomorrow morning.

But the night was long, and Wang Xuan would not waste time. He could not go to the General's Mansion at night, but he could go to another place.

He decided to go to Tianxiang Tower to find Liu Shishi first to see what she wanted to do by looking for him alone.

After all, this might be related to the layout of the world's money houses, not because he coveted her body.

By the way, he could also let the little fairy Liu Shishi help him practice again. The effect of the last practice was quite good.
