Yelu Nanxian jumped in fright and quickly struggled out of Song Qingshu's embrace. When she saw who it was, she angrily said: "Don't you know that scaring people can scare people to death ah?"
An elegant young girl smiled mischievously at the side, who else could it be but Li Qinglu: "You've never done anything shameful in your life, you're not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. You've done such a shameful thing, of course you're feeling guilty."
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around." Song Qingshu couldn't help but sigh. If an outsider saw Li Qinglu, they would definitely be fooled by her appearance, thinking she was a dignified and quiet young girl. Who would know that she was actually a little temptress who wished for the world to be in chaos?
"You two are really daring, being so lovey-dovey in the palace, aren't you afraid others will see?" Li Qinglu said as she leaped into Song Qingshu's arms, hugging him tightly.
Yelu Nanxian couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking, 'Where did you get the face to talk to me like that?'
Li Qinglu raised her head, caressing Song Qingshu's face with her hand, giggling: "Are you planning to use this identity to participate in the groom selection?" She was after all a princess of a country, she also had to consider the public opinion and the attitudes of other countries. If she directly chose the married Song Qingshu as her son-in-law, it would definitely cause an uproar. She had no choice but to use another method.
Song Qingshu hesitated: "Not necessarily, I'll adapt to the situation when the time comes."
Li Qinglu raised her fist: "I don't care, there are so many countries participating in the groom selection this time, the arrow is already nocked on the bow and has to be released. In the end, I have to choose someone to be my son-in-law. If you can't win and I'm married to another man, I won't keep my chastity for you and make you wear eight or ten green hats!"
Song Qingshu's face darkened. As expected, Li Qiushui's descendants all had the same temperament. Now that he thought about it, although Wang Yuyan looked like a gentle and virtuous lady, could she also have similar genes?
Li Qinglu rolled her eyes and giggled. "I'm just teasing you. Look at how scared you are."
Song Qingshu was so angry that he pinched her face. Even though she had an oval face, the flesh on her face was quite comfortable to pinch. After all, she was young, and her face was full of collagen.
The two of them joked around for a while. A palace maid or eunuch happened to pass by nearby, so the two of them hastily separated from each other. Song Qingshu then said, "Let's talk about the current situation in Western Xia first."
Li Qinglu also put away her mischievous smile and answered seriously, "Big Brother Song, after you left the Western Xia, we sisters have worked together to gradually wipe out the remaining forces of Helian Tieshu. In addition, we've divided and roped in Li Liangzuo's trusted subordinates, and we've gradually taken over them."
Song Qingshu couldn't help but be a little surprised. "The forces that Li Langzuo has managed for so many years have joined your side? You guys are really amazing! "
Yelu Nanxian smiled and said, "In fact, it's not as difficult as you think. After all, Li Langzuo is seriously injured and recuperating in the palace every day. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that he won't live for long. In addition, he doesn't have any children. Even the most loyal subordinates have to consider their own futures and the interests of their families. In addition, Wanqing is Li Langzuo's Empress in name.
"Not only are you all beautiful, but you're also so capable. I don't know what I did in my past life to be able to gain your favor." Before this, Song Qingshu had been a little worried about the situation in Western Xia. Hearing this, he finally felt relieved.
"Don't pretend to be innocent after getting what you want." Yelu Nanxian spat and said, "Although the domestic situation has stabilized, the reaction of all the countries in the Western Xia Country this time is a bit beyond our initial expectations. Even Dong Ying, Korea, and Khwarazm from the Far West have come."
"Khoresm? Wasn't it destroyed by the Mongols? " Song Qingshu was stunned. He had already met the envoys from Dong Ying and Korea, but this was the first time he heard about Khoresm. West
"This country was once powerful in Central Asia, but unfortunately, they ran into the Mongols at their peak. In the end, the country was destroyed, but their prince, Zalandin, escaped and led the remaining forces of Khoresm to continue fighting against the Mongols. A few years ago, they even borrowed troops from the western countries and defeated the Mongols once. However, borrowing troops is ultimately a tree without roots. In the end, they were still defeated by the Mongols. He then led his people into exile in India and Afghanistan, where he obtained the support of the Mughal Dynasty. In addition, the weather there is hot and the forests are dense, and the Mongols' cavalry can't reach them. That's how they managed to survive," Li Qinglu explained.
"How do you know so much?" Song Qingshu was stunned. He didn't know much about the affairs of the western countries. He didn't expect her to be able to explain it so clearly.
"After all, he's in charge of Class One Hall." Li Qinglu rolled her eyes at him. "And this time, when Khoresm's envoy group entered Xingqing Manor, they came to us and we obtained a lot of information from them."
Song Qingshu frowned and said, "But he left his nest and came all the way to Western Xia. Wasn't he afraid that the Mongols would kill him?"
"How could he not be afraid?" Li Qinglu sighed. "On the way, they were chased by the Mongolian Demon Palace. Fortunately, his military counselor, Madam Zhen, had great foresight, and the group successfully came to Western Xia."
"Madam Zhen, a woman?" Song Qingshu was stunned. In his imagination, military counselors were like Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia, with feather fans and silk scarves. This was the first time he heard of a female military counselor.
"Not only is she a woman, but she's also very beautiful. Her skin is white and her figure is great." Li Qinglu praised the other and looked at him with a faint smile. "What, our Young Master Song is tempted again?"
"Uh." Song Qingshu wisely did not linger on this topic with her. "If that's the case, then why did they take the risk to come to Western Xia to find a husband? Could it be that your reputation for beauty has spread to India?"
"This princess was born beautiful and attracted the princes and grandsons of all countries to bow down to me. Is that not okay?" Li Qinglu proudly raised her chin. It was obvious that she also enjoyed the feeling of being pursued by countless people.
It was Yelu Nanxian who was understanding and explained on her behalf. "The main reason is that Zalandin has always been determined to restore his country and is not willing to hide in India. That's why he took the risk to come here and contact the countries in the Central Plains to see if they can fight against the Mongols together."
Song Qingshu's eyes brightened. He could not help but praise. "This Zalandin is really a hero. He actually has such ambition. Then we must send people to protect them."
Li Qinglu nodded. "The first thing they did after entering Xing Qing Prefecture was ask for our help. That's why I've already sent warriors from Class One Hall to protect them. I think the Mongols won't dare to be too presumptuous in our territory."
"That's hard to say." Song Qingshu was not as optimistic as him. "Right, has the Mongolian ambassador arrived yet?"
"They've arrived. It's the Fifth Prince, Xu Liewu. The Mongols are indeed powerful. The warriors under them are all elite and strong. Now, the Mongols have built the embassy into an iron bucket. Our people have no way of finding out what's going on inside." Li Qinglu answered.
"Have you seen Xu Liewu before? How is he?" Song Qingshu was a little curious.
"Previously, when they came to Xing Qing Prefecture, I went to receive them and met them once. This person is handsome and extraordinary. However, perhaps it's because the Mongols have been invincible all these years that he always has an arrogant air of superiority. In addition, he's also a little … overbearing." Yelu Nanxian said with a frown.
"Overbearing?" Song Qingshu was stunned.
