Chapter 247
Ruan Ningxiang dares to put pressure on her. Does this mean that she can achieve success if she works hard?
Chu Yu's eyes reflected the lake water, as dark as the abyss, and so bright that it was scorching.
As soon as the banquet was over, he went to his father, knelt down and said that he would never marry anyone other than Ruan Ningxiang in this life. If his father insisted on breaking them up, he would never marry again. If anything happened to Ruan Ningxiang, he would go down there to accompany her.
she.
If Chu Yu blocked it again, his father would still have a trace of compassion for him.
Finally, the emperor was silent for a long time before asking him to call Ruan Ningxiang over again.
The official boat slowly arrived at the shore.
Chu Yu tucked a strand of Ruan Ningxiang's hair that was blown up by the wind behind her ear, "Father wants to see you later."
"See me?" Ruan Ningxiang became inexplicably nervous, "You're not going to check my pulse now to see if I'm pregnant, are you?"
"No." Chu Yu squeezed her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, you are now a hero of Chu, and you are also the princess who has just been canonized by the father. The father will not embarrass you."
Ruan Ningxiang breathed a sigh of relief, "How about you show me what if, what if, by accident, I'm really pregnant?"
Ruan Ningxiang touched her belly again, hoping to take a chance.
Chu Yu chuckled and said, "Madam, it's been less than a month since you came back and we were together. How do you want me to diagnose you?"
Ruan Ningxiang got off the boat in despair and came to the side hall of Yong'an Hall.
The emperor, who was sitting on a high dragon chair, looked at Ruan Ningxiang who was kneeling on the ground.
He said for a long time: "Get up."
Ruan Ningxiang stood up with her skirt in hand, but kept her head down.
Then I heard a majestic voice coming from above me, "Raise your head."
Ruan Ningxiang raised her head again, but she didn't dare to look directly at her, but felt the eyes scrutinizing her, and beads of sweat dripped from Ruan Ningxiang's forehead nervously.
"I heard that it was you who came up with the idea of Tea House Street?" the emperor asked.
Ruan Ningxiang slowly loosened her hand holding the cuffs of her clothes, "I just made a suggestion, the rest is handled by the Eleventh Prince."
"What do you think of the Wuzi Kingdom and the Beidu Kingdom?" the emperor asked again.
Ruan Ningxiang doesn't know much about these two countries at all.
She speculated on the holy intention and suddenly raised her eyes and looked over, "I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will not forgive them!"
"Hahaha, if someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend others." The emperor laughed heartily, and suddenly his smile faded, and he looked majestic again, "But now, the prince of Beidu intends to maintain the relationship between the two countries through marriage."
Ruan Ningxiang muttered in a low voice: "As for the marriage, why don't they marry the princess of their own country?"
The old eunuch on the side reminded, "Princess Zhao'an doesn't know something. The emperor of Beidu Kingdom has seven sons, but no daughter. Even if they want to marry, they can't make a princess."
That means the marriage can only be done by marrying a princess in Da Chu.
There are only sixteen princesses left in Dachu who are of right age to be married. It turns out that the eleventh prince said that the emperor made her a princess because he wanted her to get married. It turned out to be true.
Since ancient times, the emperor's heart has been unpredictable.
Ruan Ningxiang didn't know what the emperor was thinking at the moment. Since Chu Yu said that on the boat, the emperor probably wasn't trying to trick her.
Could it be that the emperor wanted her to lead troops to fight again?
So you're testing her?
Ruan Ningxiang thought and thought and speculated before she said weakly, "Actually, marriage is not necessary to maintain the relationship between the two countries."
"Is there any better way?" The emperor looked over with unpredictable eyes.
Ruan Ningxiang tentatively asked: "How about reaching a commercial strategic partnership?"
"Oh?" The emperor seemed to be somewhat interested. He picked up the tea beside him and gently stirred the tea soup, "Tell me more specifically."
What should I say? She didn't do her homework at all. It seemed she could only make it up on the fly.
Ruan Ningxiang straightened her back, "The people of Tianyu have been eyeing our great Chu for decades. Why?
Why would even a small country as big as a palm like Dongdao try to sneak in and get a piece of the pie?
Why are the small country of Uzi in the south and the country of Beidu in the north taking the initiative to please our great Chu?
Our country is vast, has a large population, and is rich in resources. On the one hand, they are greedy for us, but on the other hand, they are afraid of us."
"You mean to fight?" the emperor interjected.
Ruan Ningxiang shook her head, "No fight!
Over the years, wars have continued in Da Chu, and most of the newly recruited soldiers in the military camps are teenage boy soldiers.
Fighting wastes people and money, and may even turn things upside down.
Why so many bandits emerged in the southern border in the first place was not because they wanted to rebel, but because of years of grain levies and high taxes, which forced them to have no way out.
Even if we take a step back, even if we are lucky enough to defeat them, we still need a large number of soldiers and horses to be stationed there.
Nowadays, the emperor should know the manpower, material resources, and these resources of Da Chu better than I do.
What we need to do most now is to recuperate and focus on developing national industries."
The emperor listened attentively.
Ruan Ningxiang went around in a long circle eloquently before returning to the topic, "As the saying goes, the bustle in the world is all for benefit; the bustle in the world is all for benefit.
Whether it is war or marriage, it is all for the sake of profit.
War wastes people and money, and now cooperation is a win-win situation.
I suggest that we do business with Uzi Country and Beidu Country. However, I need to have a general understanding of the neighboring countries on how to cooperate specifically."
"Win-win cooperation?" the emperor muttered silently.
He has been troubled by this matter recently.
His ministers either suggested a fight or a marriage.
Damn, he has naturally considered the issues that the girl in front of him mentioned.
Originally, he also wanted to consolidate the relationship between the two countries by making peace.
But there was a problem. There was no princess in Beidu, and there was only one princess of the right age in their country.
He was afraid of the power of the Shen family army and intended to marry the sixteenth princess.
Then there would be no extra princess to marry, so he canonized a princess.
Now, the princess in front of her was attracted by her own son, and she even threatened her with death.
Now looking at the girl who could speak well, he really couldn't bear to give her to another country.
The emperor sat upright and said: "Since the idea is yours, I ordered the Beidu Kingdom and the Uzi Kingdom to write out a detailed win-win cooperation plan before they leave."
Ruan Ningxiang could only agree.
After leaving Yong'an Hall, Chu Yu and Su He were waiting for her outside.
Chu Yu stepped forward and said, "How is it? Father, is there anything in trouble for you?"
Ruan Ningxiang shook her head, "No." She was just given a difficult task.
The young father-in-law from Yong'an Palace ran out and said, "His Royal Highness King Yu, Your Majesty, please come in."
Chu Yu leaned over and said in Ruan Ningxiang's ear: "Go back home and wait for me. I will take you to Yundu Villa in the evening."
Taiwong.
The princess stood outside the door, listening to the lingering gasps in the room.
What shameless little bitch actually seduced the prince in her dormitory in broad daylight!
The princess pushed the door open violently.
He walked forward angrily. The two people in the room seemed to be still trapped in lust.
The Crown Princess lifted the beaded curtain and approached, and when she saw clearly the person under the Crown Prince Cheng Huan, she was stunned for a moment, and then her blood surged.
Chapter completed!
