Chapter 114 The 3rd Princess of Qi Kingdom Falls in Love with the War King
"Princess Chu Yunxue of Qiguo pays respect to His Majesty."
It was not until Chu Yunxue's cold voice sounded in the hall that everyone reacted.
"Stand up and take a seat." Emperor Qianyang showed admiration on his face.
At this time, Wang Jiang spoke again, "Your Majesty, our country's third princess has passed the age of marriage and has not yet married. This time she came here, she hopes to have a lasting friendship with the Kingdom of Li."
Emperor Qianyang became interested after hearing this. "Oh? Our country of Li is blessed with outstanding people and talents. Every one of them is a young hero. I wonder who your princess is going to marry?"
Emperor Qianyang knew in his heart that this was an apology gift sent by Qiguo, so naturally it would enter the harem.
But you still need to say a few polite words, otherwise you will be labeled as being greedy for beauty.
"Your Majesty, the Third Princess is the favorite princess of our Emperor. It all depends on the Princess's wishes."
Before coming to Li Kingdom, the Emperor of Qi Kingdom specifically called a few people for individual talks. The candidate for marriage was naturally Emperor Qianyang, but it was best to hear Chu Yunxue say it.
Among the many young talents, the princess only took a fancy to Emperor Qianyang. On the one hand, she complimented Emperor Qianyang for his wisdom and bravery, saying that he was superior to others. On the other hand, it also showed that Princess Qiguo had vision and only admired Emperor Qianyang.
Emperor Qianyang also understood the other party's plan, but this matter was harmless and everyone just kept it to themselves.
So he said, "Then the Third Princess, do you have anyone you like among all the people present? Tell me and I will grant you a marriage."
Both sides had their calculations made very good sense, but neither of them had anticipated that Chu Yunxue might change her mind.
Chu Yunxue's cold eyes slowly swept around.
Ling Yueqing suddenly had a bad feeling. It wasn't that she was narcissistic and thought Xiao Mingchen was outstanding, although he was indeed very outstanding.
Out of a hunter's intuition, she could clearly feel that Chu Yunxue's gaze lingered on Xiao Mingchen and herself for a second longer.
As expected, Chu Yunxue pointed her hand directly at Xiao Mingchen, "Your Majesty, I want to marry him!"
Officials: “?!”
Ling Yueqing was neither panicked nor afraid, she just looked at Xiao Mingchen with an expression as if she was watching a show.
Xiao Mingchen looked helpless.
"Do you know who you are referring to?" Emperor Qianyang asked quietly.
The marriage between a favored princess from another country and a prince with military power was not a good thing for him.
"Yunxue didn't know that this young man was so handsome that Yunxue fell in love with him at first sight."
Chu Yunxue's cold voice and coy words sounded strange.
"That is our Li Kingdom's God of War Prince. He is already married now. Princess Three should choose another one."
After a brief moment of surprise, Chu Yunxue's firm voice sounded, "It doesn't matter, I don't care, I am willing to marry the King of War as his equal wife, and serve the King together with my sister."
Everyone unanimously ignored the repeated coughing of Wang Jiang, the envoy of Qi State.
Wang Jiang felt like the sky was falling. His mission in Li State was about to be completed, but suddenly such a move happened.
However, no one paid attention to his crazy coughing. He looked so depressed at this moment that he didn't know how to explain himself when he returned home.
Everyone was silent for a while. How could such a beautiful and charming princess be so depressed? She didn't want to be the principal wife, but had to go to the Zhan Palace to be the secondary wife. To put it nicely, her status was equal to that of the prince, but to put it bluntly, she was still a concubine.
Ling Yueqing stared at Chu Yunxue with a playful look. This princess was really interesting. Although her face seemed surprised, her eyes were calm, which showed that she already knew their identities.
There was no admiration or calculation in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Mingchen, and it was really hard to tell what she was trying to do.
The Queen Mother spoke up, breaking the silence.
"Your Majesty, why not ask the War King what he thinks?"
"Yes, Queen Mother."
Emperor Qianyang cast his gaze towards Xiao Mingchen, "Brother, the Third Princess is in love with you and is willing to marry you into the palace as a co-wife. What do you think, brother?"
Xiao Mingchen didn't even look at Chu Yunxue, and said in a calm tone, "It's not a big deal. I already have a princess and I don't plan to take a concubine."
"Your Majesty, Yunxue just loves you. After marrying into the palace, she will not disturb the relationship between you and me..."
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Xiao Mingchen, "Qingqing married me for the purpose of getting married, so she can be considered my lifesaver."
"I made up my mind at that time. If I could escape this disaster, I would never take a concubine again. There would only be one mistress in the palace, Qingqing."
"If you break this oath, you will not die a good death. I'm sure the Third Princess doesn't want to be a murderer, right?" Xiao Mingchen was talking about the Third Princess, but his eyes swept across everyone present.
Ling Yueqing didn't expect him to say that. She wanted to see how he would respond first. If that didn't work, she would pretend to be a jealous woman who wouldn't allow him to take a concubine.
I didn't expect that he could think of such a permanent solution. People in ancient times attached great importance to oaths.
Ling Yueqing couldn't help but feel a little moved. She quietly held Xiao Mingchen's hand and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
The unmarried men at the banquet lamented that Xiao Mingchen did not know how to enjoy the beauty, but on the other hand they were happy that they had another chance.
The women all looked at Ling Yueqing with envy, and of course there were also some jealous people among them.
Ling Yueqing keenly sensed a hint of mockery in the gaze. She looked over and saw that the person was actually the Queen Mother. In just a moment, she returned to her kind and amiable appearance.
The movement was so fast that Ling Yueqing thought she was dazzled.
At this time, the Queen Mother in the hall had a kind face, but her heart was full of darkness. "As expected of that woman and the son of the late emperor, she is used to acting affectionate and disgusting."
Emperor Qianyang was somewhat surprised by Xiao Mingchen's words. Not only could he win the beauty, but he could also get help from her. There was no reason for him to refuse.
But he didn't care why Xiao Mingchen refused, as long as he was satisfied with the result.
Emperor Qianyang was in a good mood and said, "Third Princess, since my brother has said so, for my brother's health, you should choose another man."
Chu Yunxue's tears slowly flowed down her beautiful cheeks. She covered her face with a handkerchief and said sadly, "Your Majesty is right. Even if Yunxue loves the prince, it is not as important as the prince's health."
"But now Yunxue is thinking only of the prince, so it is difficult for her to choose someone else."
Seeing the beauty crying, everyone felt heartbroken and secretly regretted that they did not have such good luck.
Emperor Qianyang saw this and could not bear to force her, so he said, "Then the third princess should stay in my Li Kingdom first. When I find a satisfactory candidate, I will arrange a marriage for you."
"Yunxue thanks the emperor for his consideration." Chu Yunxue bowed gratefully, and from a perspective that no one else could see, the corner of her mouth curled up into a triumphant smile.
