Chapter 97 Birthday Banquet 4
Zhuoer panicked when he heard this. He hated Gesang Zhuoma so much at this moment. Why didn't she tell him about this in advance so that he could find medicine to abort the child.
This way he won't be discovered in front of so many people. Now, in order to prevent Da Gan from really sending troops, he has no choice but to sacrifice himself.
"Misunderstandings are just misunderstandings. This has nothing to do with us. She did it all on her own. You can't take your anger out on us because of her, right?"
Gesang Zhuoma was already suffering from a miscarriage, and she was also feeling uncomfortable after being kicked by Xiao Jinyi. When she heard Zhuo Er abandon her like a pawn, her eyes rolled up and she fainted.
The palace servants waiting on both sides stepped forward to drag the man out, but after hearing Zhuoer's next words, they threw Gesang Dolma, who had just been lifted up, back to the ground. Gesang Dolma, who had fainted, woke up again because of the pain.
"Since the princess we sent here cannot be married, I will be the one to arrange the marriage." Zhuo Er said as he looked at Princess Qingyang sitting on the right seat.
"I heard that Princess Qingyang of your country has never been married. This prince is willing to marry Princess Qingyang as his principal wife."
Xiao Jiayi, who was sitting with Xiao Jiayun, was so angry that she stood up when she heard his tone, which sounded as if it was a favor from God. When she was about to curse, Xiao Jiayun grabbed her hand and shook his head at her.
Xiao Jiayun was touched that her sister stood up for her, but she didn't want Xiao Jiayi to curse at that scumbag in front of so many people.
Although it was a relief, it wasn't worth it to spread a bad reputation for such a person, and there were some things she wanted to say herself.
"I can do it myself!"
Xiao Jiayi was stunned when she heard this, and at the same time she hated the Xidi man named Zhuoer even more.
Her sister Jiayun has always been a quiet, elegant and refined person, but now she is so angry that she wants to curse, which shows how angry she is.
“This princess understands that the prince of Xidi thinks that since I am still unmarried in my twenties, I must have some health problem, or I have some other unspeakable secret, so he wants to marry me to appease the anger of my officials.
But I am here to tell you that you have made a wrong calculation. The reason why this princess has never married is because my father and mother love me very much. They hope that I can find someone I like and marry him/her. The same is true for this princess's sister.
So this princess would like to remind the prince not to think about taking advantage of this princess's sister. We two sisters are princesses of the Dagan Kingdom, the royal family of the Empress, and we are not something that anyone can covet.
I hope the prince can have some self-awareness. ”
After Xiao Jiayun finished speaking, she paused and added, "Prince, you may not understand what self-knowledge means, so I will explain it to you. It means that a person knows himself very well and knows whether he is a dragon or a worm!"
When Xiao Jiayi heard Xiao Jiayun's words, she applauded her. Zhuo Er's already ugly expression became even uglier after hearing the applause.
Emperor Wu An was fed up with watching this farce, "Enough!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the palace, which had been bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became as quiet as a chicken, and Emperor Wu An's face turned as black as ink.
It was a lively banquet, but now everyone is feeling upset because of some bad things.
Although the queen mother was kind-hearted, Xidi caused so many scandals at her birthday party. One humiliated her grandson and the other coveted her granddaughter. Even the best-tempered person would be furious with them.
"Emperor, I think the Xidi people clearly don't take our Dagan seriously.
In this case, we might as well send troops to destroy this small country. ”
Since the old man had spoken, Emperor Wu An naturally did not dare to disobey. So, in the shocked and terrified eyes of the Western Di envoys, he pointed at someone and said, "Jin Yi, haven't you been making trouble with me these past two days, saying that you want to marry Ah Xu as soon as possible?
Today I give you a chance. Tomorrow you will lead your troops to Xidi. When you conquer Xidi for me, you will come back and marry Asu. Otherwise, you can just keep thinking about going! ”
When Xiao Jinyi heard this, his blood boiled and he wished he could set off immediately and go directly to Xidi.
The Western Di people did not expect Da Gan to be so cruel, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy. Among the Western Di envoys there was a man of high moral character and whose mind was not completely confused.
He is the uncle and master of the current Xidi Khan. After hearing that Emperor Dagan was going to send people to destroy them, Xidi, he hurried out to beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty, this is all our fault. Please give us a chance. We are willing to exchange the three cities of Xidi for our territory. Please don't let His Royal Highness Prince Jing lead the troops there!"
Emperor Wu'an and the Queen Mother only wanted to cooperate with each other to reduce the arrogance of the Western Di and get some good things back. They didn't intend for Xiao Jinyi to actually lead the troops over.
After all, Xiao Yuanqi's wedding is in two days, and it is not a good time to start a rebellion.
He gave Xiao Yuanqi a look, and Xiao Yuanqi knew it was time for him to come out. "Father, war is very painful for the people, so it is better not to start a war casually."
Everyone who attended the banquet knew Emperor Wu An. When they saw Xiao Yuanqi stand up and request not to go to war, they all understood Emperor Wu An's plan and followed suit.
"Yes, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is right. When two countries go to war, the people will suffer the most. We don't care about the Western Di, but our own people are our treasures. There is no reason to use our treasures to hit their stone eggs."
"What Minister Zheng said makes sense. To put it bluntly, if this dog bites us, can we bite it back?"
"You two lords are right. This is what I mean."
Emperor Wu'an had never really wanted to start a war, and his expression was much more relaxed at this moment. However, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with the Western Di's cession of three cities. It would be better if he could make them bleed more.
At this moment, Shen Shixu stood up and sang a different tune from everyone else.
"Your Majesty, I support launching a war. The Western Di people slapped us in the face but only ceded three cities. They really don't take us seriously. If this gets out, how will the neighboring small countries view us?
Why not just take over the entire Xidi and show off our national prestige! ”
The man who proposed to exchange three cities for Dagan's decision not to send troops almost fell over when he heard Shen Shixu's words.
This is still not enough, how can this person be so greedy!
Emperor Wu An gave Shen Shixu a satisfied look. At this moment, he regretted granting the marriage between Xiao Jinyi and Shen Shixu. He always felt that his silly son was not worthy of her.
That person was afraid that Emperor Wu An would really agree to Shen Shixu’s suggestion, so he quickly added more pressure.
"Your Majesty, of the three cities ceded, Altai will be among them."
Hearing this, Emperor Wu An was satisfied, and Shen Shixu was also happy, so he said, "It seems that the people of Xidi are still very sincere, but this princess and prince are more stupid than each other."
