The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 211 A distinguished guest is coming

The expression on the face of the envoy from Yuan State was indeed somewhat ugly.

"I understand your Majesty's good intentions, but the marriage is indeed difficult to carry out." Wanting to marry the two most favored princes of Mo City may be an attempt to cannibalize his Darong.

Seeing that Mo Cheng's attitude was obviously very opposed to the marriage, the Yuan Kingdom envoy had to make the next best choice: "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean."

"It's just that my country really admires the elegance of the Central Plains. If I can't marry your prince, I wonder if I can marry the princess?"

The envoy from Yuan State still refused to give up, and Mo Cheng and Li Lang looked at each other.

Under the current circumstances, if we reject the statement of the envoy from Yuan State again, it will probably cause unhappiness and the situation will be difficult to handle.

"Princess..." Mo Cheng stretched out his voice, and it was unclear whether he was going to refuse.

The envoy from Yuan State stared at Mo Cheng closely.

Mo Cheng did not answer directly, but winked at Li Lang, who understood and walked up to the envoy of Yuan State: "Envoy, this banquet is a welcoming banquet for the envoy of Yuan State. If you start talking about business right away, Your Majesty may be worried about not entertaining you well. It is better to let Your Majesty think about this matter carefully, after all, it is a matter of marriage between the two countries."

The envoy from Yuan State obviously did not want Li Lang to cover it up.

"The marriage is a major event between the two countries. Your Majesty should also carefully consider the candidate."

We never said we would not marry the princess. If you continue to press on with this matter, you will be intentionally destroying the harmonious relations between the two countries.

The Yuan Kingdom envoy was also a foreign envoy, so he naturally understood what Li Lang meant. What else could he say? He could only smile through gritted teeth: "Of course, your majesty is very busy, so you must consider this matter carefully."

Mo Cheng also smiled: "Thank you for your understanding, Messenger."

The Yuan Kingdom envoy was choked by Mo Cheng's words and quickly stood up and saluted Mo Cheng: "I dare not."

"How is it?" The queen sent someone to check on the banquet. She waited until the banquet was over before she hurriedly asked about the situation.

Bichi first heard the news from the servants, and then replied to the queen: "Don't worry, your majesty, the emperor has not agreed to let the princess marry."

The queen was relieved when she got the accurate information: "That's good, that's good."

"I heard that Yuanguo originally wanted to marry the princess here, but somehow they changed their mind and asked to marry the princess." Bichi said a little warily, "And Yuanguo seems to have set their sights on our Prince Yuan and Prince Luo."

"What?!" The queen was shocked, and her heart was lifted again. "Are you interested in Prince Yuan?"

"Yes," Bichi was worried that the queen would be too excited, so she quickly poured her a cup of tea, "but then the emperor rejected it."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief again and took the tea handed over by Bitch: "What happened next?"

"The envoy from Yuan State wanted to bring up the marriage proposal again, but was rejected by the envoy Li." Bichi was relieved when she heard this.

The queen stroked the edge of the teacup, seeming to think: "Yuan State is so anxious, could it be that they are holding back something?"

Bichi frowned and shook her head: "I'm afraid this depends on the emperor's opinion."

"Although the emperor does not care much about Yuan Kingdom, Yuan Kingdom still has its status. The emperor may agree to marry the princess this time." The queen was still unclear about Mo Cheng's attitude.

Bichi was just a palace maid, and she didn't understand Mo Cheng's attitude.

After seeing off the envoy from Yuan State, Mo Cheng called Li Lang into the Shangshu Room alone.

"I'm afraid the Yuan Kingdom has made up its mind to have me marry the princess this time." Mo Cheng looked at the letter from the emperor of the Yuan Kingdom and snorted coldly.

Li Lang thought for a moment: "What did the Emperor of Yuan say?"

Mo Cheng quickly finished reading the letter, and while putting it away he said, "It was just a chat about some family matters. He also said that his prince was old enough but still couldn't get married, which made him very worried."

Mo Cheng and the Emperor of Yuan had only met once, and their correspondence was very rare. However, this letter from the Emperor of Yuan made it seem as if the two were particularly familiar with each other.

Aren't these words of the Emperor of Yuan State implying that he wants the prince to get married and wants Mo Cheng to marry a princess?

"Your words are earnest and sincere. Haha, you are really a kind father!" Mo Cheng dragged out his tone with ambiguous meaning.

"Now the intention of Yuan Kingdom is obviously to marry a princess back. I wonder what the emperor thinks?" Li Lang was also worried when he saw the attitude of the envoy from Yuan Kingdom.

There was only one daughter of the royal family and the imperial clan who reached the age of 15 among Dayong, the Sixth Princess. What's more, the Sixth Princess was also the legitimate princess. How could Yuan, a small country, be worthy of being the wife of the legitimate princess?

What's more, if he wanted to marry the Sixth Princess to Yuan State, he would have to see whether the Queen Mother agreed.

With the Left Prime Minister and Prince Yuan here, it would be impossible for the Sixth Princess to marry.

"For now, let the envoy of Yuan State not mention this matter. I want to discuss it with the ministers." This matter is not something that Mo Cheng can decide alone. The Queen, the Left Prime Minister and Mo Yuyang must know about it.

"Yes."

"Then while Your Majesty is discussing this, I will volunteer to accompany the envoys from Yuan State to see what Yuan State's intentions are." Discussing things in the court was not Li Lang's strong point, so Li Lang simply did not participate.

Mo Cheng nodded: "For the time being, stabilize the envoy of Yuan State, and there is no need to inquire further."

"Yes."

Although Mo Yuchen was imprisoned in the Dali Temple, he left someone outside for Xia Yanxiang. In addition, Mo Yuxuan was also outside, so Xia Yanxiang got the news in time. She was thinking about how she could enter the palace to meet Concubine Su and Mo Yuanli.

However, Xia Yanxiang's worries soon disappeared. After Mo Yuxuan learned about it, he directly told Xia Yanxiang that he could help her cover and allow her to enter the palace.

It has been a long time since Mo Yuanli was sent to Concubine Su by Shen Zhe. She wanted to go back several times, but was stopped by Concubine Su and Shen Zhe.

"Mother, why don't you let me go back?" Although Mo Yuanli knew that Concubine Su and Shen Zhe were doing this for her own good, she still didn't understand. "Shen Zhe can't attend court, and now he has no real power in the Ministry of Revenue. Why don't you let me go back? After all, I am still a princess with a title, and I can also attend court and speak."

Concubine Su knew that Mo Yuanli couldn't help but want to go to the court to speak for Mo Yuchen, but now the only way to save Mo Yuchen was to keep silent.

"Li'er, don't be willful, wait a little longer." Concubine Su knew that Xia Yanxiang was going to the palace today, but she hadn't had time to tell Mo Yuanli, "There are distinguished guests coming today, maybe there will be a turnaround."

"Turning point?" Mo Yuanli didn't understand what Concubine Su meant.

Before Concubine Su could open her mouth to explain, Mo Yuxuan came first: "Mother! I'm here!"

"..."Mo Yuanli and Concubine Su were both speechless.

Mo Xuanxuan walked very quickly, followed by a little maid.
