Emperor Shaowu couldn't help but touch her sister's head.

It is said that Imperial Family is ruthless. He has never been a decisive king and he values family ties very seriously.

But after ascending to the throne, he naturally distanced himself from the relatives around him.

Even Emperor Shaowu himself cannot change such a change.

Now in the Ouchi Imperial Palace, the only one who can truly be regarded as his relative is the biological sister of his compatriot.

As for Empress Dowager, who eats food and chants Buddha's name in the ancestral hall all year round, but never gives up interfering in the harem, Emperor Shaowu only has awe and no feeling of intimacy.

It is precisely because of this that he loves Princess Qingyun so much that he is almost obedient. "What's the matter?"

Princess Qingyun glanced at Emperor Shaowu secretly, then lowered his head and said, "I just went to see that Crimson Cavalry Commander Wang."

"Crimson Cavalry Commander Wang?"

Emperor Shaowu was stunned for a moment. "Are you talking about Wang Chen?"

"Yeah."

Princess Qingyun nodded, suppressing the excitement in his heart and said, "Brother, do you know? Commander Wang helped me penetrate the meridians. He is really powerful!"

Emperor Shaowu was shocked. "He helped you connect your meridians?"

This Great Liang Son of Heaven never expected that his little sister would be so courageous!

To be precise, Qingyun and Wang Chen are too brave.

One dares to think and the other dares to do it, without considering his own identity at all, and he is not afraid that something will happen and he can't explain it!

"Brother, don't blame Commander Wang."

Princess Qingyun observed his words and said quickly, "I asked him. Now I feel very good, and I have also learned Qi-guiding technique, so I can learn Daoism in the future."

Emperor Shaowu took a deep breath to calm down.

He has a generous temperament. Since the deal is done and his sister is safe and sound, he doesn't get angry. "Remember not to be reckless in the future, just in case something happens..."

Emperor Shaowu shook his head. "I won't punish Commander Wang this time, but I won't reward him either."

Princess Qingyun said weakly, "Brother, I want to worship Commander Wang as my teacher and let him teach me the Daoism."

"No!"

Emperor Shaowu refused without hesitation, and his attitude was even a little rude. "Don't even think about it!"

Princess Qingyun was startled, his eyes immediately turned red, and he pursed his lips, feeling aggrieved.

Seeing her sister's appearance, Emperor Shaowu's heart softened again.

This Great Liang Son of Heaven took his sister's little hand, just like he did when he was a child, and led her to sit down on the soft couch next to him.

"Qingyun, you are fourteen years old, I should tell you some things."

Emperor Shaowu smiled bitterly, "About your marriage."

Princess Qingyun suddenly changed his expression. "Brother Emperor, I don't want to get married, and I don't want to leave you!"

She was still at an innocent age, and when she suddenly mentioned her marriage, she instinctively felt great resistance.

Emperor Shaowu sighed, "I don't want to either."

Princess Qingyun's marriage was actually decided ten years ago, and it was Empress Dowager who made this decision.

Although Emperor Shaowu had already ascended the throne at that time, his throne was not stable and he needed Empress Dowager's support and help in many matters, so there was no possibility of opposition.

The most important thing is that the person engaged to Princess Qingyun is Great Yan Third Prince, which is a marriage between the two countries.

Great Yan is a neighboring country of Great Liang, and its national power is almost the same as that of Great Liang.

But thirty years ago, Great Liang was defeated in a battle with the powerful enemy Great Qi in the north, which resulted in the loss of the country and a sharp decline in strength. It has not yet recovered its strength and is no longer as good as Great Yan.

Fortunately, Great Qi's power has continued to expand over the years, posing a huge threat to both Great Liang and Great Yan, because the two countries have formed an alliance to jointly curb Great Qi's ambitions.

The marriage of Princess Qingyun and Great Yan Third Prince came about under this background.

Nowadays, Great Liang is suffering from internal and external troubles. In addition to Great Qi, a feuding and powerful enemy, Southern Barbarians in the south is also extremely restless and often harasses border counties, which involves a lot of military and financial resources.

Therefore, no matter how much Emperor Shaowu loves his sister, it is impossible for him to regret his marriage.

Otherwise, once Great Yan is offended, it will not be a problem for the latter to join forces with Great Qi to destroy and annex Great Liang.

Of course, Great Yan will not fail to understand the meaning of death, but the impact of regretting the marriage is too bad, and the consequences are not something he can bear.

"Great Yan currently has no crown prince..."

Emperor Shaowu said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, Third Prince Yin Zhen is very promising and has the support of many ministers and generals. If he can really become the master of Great Yan in the future, then you will be Empress!"

"At that time, we Great Liang and Great Yan can join forces to attack Great Qi, regain our homeland, and completely eliminate this powerful enemy..."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, but he didn't notice Princess Qingyun looking at him.

"Qingyun, don't blame brother."

Emperor Shaowu touched Princess Qingyun's head again and said, "Although you and I are royalty, we can't help ourselves."

"Yeah."

Princess Qingyun responded softly, lowered his head and extinguished the light in his eyes.

Emperor Shaowu felt guilty. "If there are no accidents, you will go to Great Yan to get married after the Chinese New Year."

Princess Qingyun was shocked. "So fast?"

"No way."

Emperor Shaowu explained; "King of Yan sent me the letter of credence, and I have already replied and agreed."

Princess Qingyun lowered his head again.

Emperor Shaowu sighed, "Qingyun..."

"Brother!"

Princess Qingyun suddenly interrupted him, "I am willing to go to Great Yan to get married, but before that, I want to marry Commander Wang cultivate Daoist magic so that I won't be bullied after I marry Great Yan Third Prince."

Emperor Shaowu was stunned.

Emperor Shaowu wanted to say that no one would bully her, but she swallowed her words again.

After all, this girl is born with a weak body and does not know the art of palace fighting. If she goes to a foreign country, she may be bullied!

Thinking of all the things that happened in his childhood, this Great Liang Son of Heaven's heart softened again.

"Okay, I promise you, but you also have to promise me that you must not mess around before we get married."

Princess Qingyun nodded vigorously. "Yes."

"Brother Emperor, then write an imperial edict to Commander Wang. He said he would not teach me without your permission."

This Wang Chen is quite sensible.

Emperor Shaowu thought to himself, got up and went to the desk, took the paper and pen and wrote an imperial decree in hand.

"I will announce that Wang Chen will enter the palace tomorrow and fulfill your wish."

"Brother!"

Princess Qingyun pursed his lips and said, "I don't want other people to know about this, especially Empress Dowager. I want to learn Daoism from Commander Wang outside."

"Huh?"

Emperor Shaowu is very embarrassed - how can this be done!

Princess Qingyun pulled his dragon robe and begged, "Brother, please!"

Emperor Shaowu hesitated again and again, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, it's up to you."

Even if Princess Qingyun is willful, it will be the last time she will be willful!
