Chapter 428 Marriage for King Zhao and the Fifth Princess
Chapter 428: Marriage for King Zhao and the Fifth Princess
"Miss Luo Er, in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor of the Dynasty, actually disregarded the diplomatic relations between the two countries, which is also called courtesy exchange?"
"diplomatic relations?"
Luo Jiuli sneered in his heart, "Sangnan Kingdom has brought such a dissolute princess to come for marriage. Are you trying to have diplomatic relations? Or are you provoking me?"
Seeing that neither the emperor nor Xiao Mingxuan spoke, she smiled casually and said:
"As the elder brother, Prince Shan should educate the fifth princess on what diplomatic relations between the two countries mean."
"Diplomacy is about comparing one's heart with another's, and the fifth princess is so arrogant and arrogant. With you, the crown prince brother, you are used to being domineering in the Sangnan Kingdom. Do you still want to come to our Changning Dynasty to dominate?"
"Prince Shan, our Changning Dynasty has advocated peace and friendship since ancient times, but we have never been afraid of incoming invaders, and we have never been soft on enemies who maliciously provoked us."
"If Prince Shan and Fifth Princess don't believe it, you can give it a try."
Domineering, domineering, and fierce, it makes people feel proud just listening to it.
There was silence on both sides of the main hall.
The military generals leisurely picked up their wine cups and sipped their drinks. Luo Jiuli's words truly spoke into their hearts.
The emperor's eyebrows gradually relaxed.
However, some of the envoys from Sangnan Kingdom on the opposite side were unwilling.
"I didn't know that men and women were equal in the Changning Dynasty before, but today I saw such a spectacle. A little girl can actually show up at a man's banquet."
"If it is said that the reason why the emperor is sitting next to the queen is because the queen has the noble status of being a mother to the world, then I would like to ask this Miss Luo Er, what is your status? Do you dare to confront the Nine Princes just because you are the fiancée?
Are we, the crown prince and princess of Sangnan Kingdom talking nonsense?"
Luo Jiuli looked up and saw behind Prince Shan a middle-aged man with a gloomy look on his face. When he saw that man, he was reminded of a snake lurking in the dark, cold and vicious.
Before Luo Jiuli could speak, Xiao Mingxuan pinched Luo Jiuli's hand and asked her to sit down beside him. Then he glanced at the man and said casually:
"Luo Jiuli is the woman that I hold in the palm of my hand. Her words are my words. Seeing her is like meeting me. Who are you? How dare you be so rude to my future princess."
In the hall, the clan ministers had different expressions when they heard this.
In today's occasion of entertaining foreign guests, Luo Jiuli's seat should not be here in the first place, but should be sitting in the back row of the female family members.
However, the Ninth Prince insisted on taking her with him.
And the emperor didn't raise any objections, so what did others dare to say?
However, what Luo Jiuli said today surprised them. A little girl can have the magnanimity of her family, country and world, and can clearly see the true purpose of the Crown Prince Shan and the Fifth Princess. Obviously, she cannot use it.
He looked at her with the eyes of a boudoir woman.
The envoy opposite Xiao Mingxuan, who was scolded by Xiao Mingxuan, was so angry that he almost suffered internal injuries and drank a mouthful of blood.
Your Majesty, the Emperor turned slightly to the side.
"Ninth Prince, please don't be rude. Since the marriage between the Ninth Prince and the Fifth Princess is weak, don't mention this matter again."
Beside her, the corners of the queen's eyes were slightly raised, she lazily lowered her eyes and held the wine cup.
Today’s dinner was really lively!
But such a lively scene ended suddenly like this, which really made her reluctant to let go.
With this thought in mind, the queen glanced at the ministers, then looked in the direction of the fifth princess, and smiled gently and dignifiedly:
"Your Majesty, you see, the five princesses have stunning looks, noble status, and are about the same age as King Zhao. I think these two are a good match."
"Why doesn't the emperor grant the marriage of the fifth princess to Prince Zhao? It can be regarded as a beautiful marriage."
The fifth princess is lustful and dissolute.
Prince Zhao is frivolous and wanton.
These two are a perfect match.
I don't know whether the Queen Mother and Concubine Hu were happy or resentful for giving such a woman to King Zhao.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother sat firmly on one side with a lukewarm expression, without any expression.
Concubine Hu gritted her back molars and clutched the veil tightly.
If it were before, she would have been willing to let the fifth princess marry into Prince Zhao's palace. As long as the fifth princess could become Prince Zhao's help, she could turn a blind eye to the past of the fifth princess.
But Luo Jiuli's words in the main hall just now exposed the fifth princess's dissoluteness and Prince Zhao's scandal to everyone.
This made her look even more embarrassed than eating fly droppings.
The emperor pretended not to see the change in Concubine Hu's face and glanced at the fifth princess. Although there was a smile on her face, the elegant pressure only increased.
"I wonder what the fifth princess thinks?"
When the fifth princess was about to speak, Prince Shan glanced at her and lowered his voice with a threatening tone.
"Imperial sister, you should know that my father never gives useless people a second chance."
The Ninth Prince is a tough guy. If you take him down, you will have to injure at least one thousand people and eight hundred to yourself. What's more, there will be Luo Jiuli and the Duke's Mansion behind her.
But King Zhao is a soft man, easy to handle and easy to use.
Comparing the two, he cared more about the final result rather than her. Who did Shan Baochan fall in love with?
When the fifth princess heard the word father, her pupils suddenly shrank.
When Prince Shan saw that the fifth princess was not talking, he cupped his fists at the emperor and said:
"Your Majesty, since we have entered the Changning Dynasty, Princess Baochan will be a member of the Changning Dynasty from now on. Naturally, His Majesty the Emperor should make the final decision on marriage."
"What's more, my father's original words were that in order to forever be friends with the Changning Dynasty, he was willing to dedicate his sister-in-law, Princess Baochan, to His Highness King Zhao as his concubine."
The emperor looked at King Zhao indifferently.
"In that case, I will grant marriage to Prince Zhao and the fifth princess."
On the side, Concubine Hu looked nervous and opened her mouth as if to say something, but was grabbed by the Queen Mother beside her.
The Queen Mother did not speak, but shook her head indifferently.
The emperor picked up the wine cup and raised his glass to Prince Shan:
Prince Shan felt relieved when he saw the emperor conferring a marriage on the spot. He also picked up the wine cup and signaled to the emperor from a distance.
"Gu, I would like to propose a toast to the Emperor. I hope that the Changning Dynasty and the Sangnan Kingdom will live in peace forever and never fight again."
The emperor nodded and took a moderate sip.
Prince Shan raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone in the hall had different expressions.
The emperor personally granted marriage to King Zhao and the fifth princess. What does it mean?
No one knows the true thoughts of the emperor.
As for the fifth princess, that naturally charming and slutty woman, she lowered her eyebrows and took a sip of the wine without any displeasure on her face.
It's as if what just happened never happened.
As for the person involved, King Zhao, whether marrying the fifth princess will be a blessing or a curse depends on his luck.
At this time, Eunuch Qi, who was beside the emperor, waved towards the door.
The sound of music sounded in the main hall, and a group of young and thin-waisted red-dressed dancers came up to the hall. After saluting the emperor and queen, they bent their waists and fluttered their sleeves in the hall, dancing gracefully. Every move they made was charming.
