When Beiye Hongyao said those words, she didn't even blush. At this moment, when Chu Yunxi asked such a sharp question in such a calm tone, she was caught off guard and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She worked hard to adjust her breathing and quickly returned to normal.
"Queen, I know that since I want to get married to your husband, you will inevitably feel a little jealous and sad.
But the emperor is not an ordinary person. Sooner or later, he will have three thousand beauties in his harem. Today it is not me, but tomorrow it will be someone else.
Don't worry, queen, I'm not here to compete with you for the emperor's favor. I just want to assist the emperor with all my heart and promote peace between the two countries so that the people don't have to suffer from the war."
She spoke beautifully, putting Chu Yunxi in a position of competing for favor in the harem, and putting herself in a position of awe-inspiring justice.
But unexpectedly, Jun Lingyun stopped him with a word.
"When did I say that I wanted to get married to you?"
The smile on Bei Ye Hongyao's face gradually faded away and she glanced at the Northern Barbarian envoy.
The messenger clearly told her that Jun Lingyun had promised good results at the Shangyuan Festival Palace Banquet. Why did he say such things again?
The Northern Barbarian envoys were also surprised and uncertain.
Could it be that Emperor Yunxiao really changed his mind in the past few days and wanted to go back on his word? Or was it just a test to get Qiao?
He cupped his fists and said:
"Your Majesty Yunxiao, this is a matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries. You can't make fun of it. Besides, you kept your word, and at the palace banquet that day..."
Before the messenger finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jun Lingyun.
"The purpose of your coming to Yunxiao Country to get married is just for food, right?"
The Northern Barbarian envoy once again experienced the extent of Jun Lingyun's venomous tongue. Trading the princess for grain seeds was a good idea and a bad idea!
This kind of thing should be tacitly understood, but Jun Lingyun frequently said it openly.
Let a matter that could have been passed down as a good story and be a righteous thing become a piece of cake.
The Northern Barbarian envoy tried his best to try to save the situation:
"The reason for the reconciliation between our two countries is for mutual benefit."
Jun Lingyun didn't like hearing these beautiful words.
"If you don't admit it, then I will pretend that it doesn't happen."
The Northern Barbarian envoy choked and had to admit quickly. Face is not as important as lining.
"We in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom do need food. The people of the Northern Barbarians are suffering from hunger. As long as the Yunxiao Kingdom can help this time, our two countries will be friendly countries in the future. Our three princesses are the two countries who have made friends.
witness."
Jun Lingyun waved:
"It's not necessary to get married. I can lend you grain seeds to the Northern Barbarians, but I have a condition."
Not making peace? Even if they are not making peace, are you still willing to lend them grain and seed to the Northern Barbarians? What is Jun Lingyun’s plan?
Wait, is it a loan, not a gift? The kind that requires return?
If Jun Lingyun doesn't keep their princess for marriage, isn't he afraid that the things he lent will come back?
The Northern Barbarian envoy asked tentatively:
"Your Majesty, Emperor Yunxiao, means that he will not marry our three princesses, but is willing to help our Northern Barbarian Kingdom overcome this difficulty?"
Jun Lingyun nodded: "That's exactly what I mean."
The Northern Barbarian envoy frowned in thought, but Beiye Hongyao's expression changed slightly.
Her father had promised her that as long as she could become Jun Lingyun's favorite concubine, he would abolish the elder and establish a virtuous one.
If she fails to succeed, her biological brother will never be able to replace the eldest son of the queen.
The prince has a sensitive and suspicious personality. If he succeeds to the throne, how can his mother, concubine, and their siblings, who are competing with his mother and queen, have a good life in the future?
What's more, the land of the Northern Barbarians is barren, and in the past winters, they relied on plundering grain and grass from neighboring countries to survive the lean days.
Now the Yunxiao Kingdom, Xizhao, which has been subsumed by the Yunxiao Kingdom, and the Dongyi Kingdom are helping each other and forming an unbreakable alliance in the north. The Northern Barbarians have no chance to take advantage of them.
If Jun Lingyun is not eliminated, even if her biological brother succeeds to the throne, the tribes of the Northern Barbarians will probably be torn apart.
She had already planned to marry Jun Lingyun first, support her younger brother to inherit the throne, and then look for opportunities to get rid of Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi.
But Jun Lingyun didn't want to marry her, so everything was just a fantasy.
If Chu Yunxi had the ability to read minds, he would definitely tell Kitano Hongyao that he should remember to talk to Concubine Dan and Dongfang Xueer in the future, as they would probably have a lot in common.
Naturally, the Northern Barbarian envoy did not know what Beiye Hongyao was thinking.
On the contrary, he felt that if they could bring back grain and seeds without having to keep their Northern Barbarian princess for marriage, then the Northern Barbarians would make a profit.
"Your Majesty Yunxiao, what are the conditions you mentioned?"
He wanted to hear Jun Lingyun's conditions first, but he didn't know how harsh they would be.
Jun Lingyun fumbled with the jasper ring on his hand.
"My condition is that the grain donated by our Yunxiao Kingdom cannot pass through the hands of your Northern Barbarian royal family. I will send people to personally deliver it to the Northern Barbarian tribes who are short of food."
"this……"
"No!"
While the Northern Barbarian envoy was still thinking about how to bargain, Beiye Hongyao had already refused.
"I dare to ask Emperor Yunxiao, will you allow the troops of other countries to enter and exit your country at will?"
When transporting grain, it must be escorted by the army, otherwise it would have been robbed by bandits long ago.
"Comparing my feelings, this condition of yours is really difficult for others. Hong Yao is willing to stay and serve Emperor Yunxiao wholeheartedly."
Beiye Hongyao glanced at Chu Yunxi and added another sentence.
"With the Queen."
She saw how much Jun Lingyun cared about Chu Yunxi. A good man would not suffer the immediate consequences, so she would bow her head to Chu Yunxi first and get into Jun Lingyun's harem.
"The queen and I have no shortage of maids to serve."
Jun Lingyun was so angry that he would not pay for it with his life, but he restrained himself a little and did not say the second half of the sentence: Compared with a princess who harbors alien intentions, a palace maid can serve her much better.
Chu Yunxi's words before made Beiye Hongyao feel embarrassed. Jun Lingyun's words at this moment really made her feel insulted.
He compared her, a noble princess and royal noble, to a lowly palace maid?
"Does Emperor Yunxiao really think that Hong Yao can't get married, so he came to Yunxiao Kingdom to humiliate himself? Our Northern Barbarian Kingdom has strong soldiers and horses, but it's just temporary difficulties. I hope Emperor Yunxiao will consider it carefully!"
This, this is a threat!
The Northern Barbarian envoy took a deep breath and stood stunned.
Emperor Yunxiao has promised to lend them grain seeds to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom. Even if the third princess does not agree with the method of transporting grain seeds, she can still discuss it with Emperor Yunxiao. Why, how come she is more tough than before?
What if Emperor Yunxiao gets angry and drives the two of them out of Yunxiao Kingdom?
Sure enough, Jun Lingyun narrowed his eyes, and a sense of oppression instantly enveloped the hearts of the Northern Barbarian envoy and the third princess.
"Third Princess of the Northern Barbarians, everyone knows that I have a bad temper and even worse patience. I advise you to think carefully before speaking to avoid a bloody disaster!"
Beiye Hongyao unconsciously took a small step back. As a princess, had she ever seen such a strong killing spirit? She was really frightened at this time.
The Northern Barbarian envoy had a breath hanging in his throat. He was still thinking whether Jun Lingyun would drive the two of them out of Yunxiao Kingdom, but it turned out that being driven out would be a good thing.
Jun Lingyun's attitude has been calm these days, but he has forgotten that Jun Lingyun is a bloodthirsty and murderous god.
They are really going to lose their lives. How can they remedy this?
