"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a Crown Princess. How can that be the same as the Third Prince? Isn't that right, Miss Qin?"
As soon as the words fell, Princess Xinya looked towards the owner of the voice with some embarrassment.
"So it's Miss Sun from the Xiangfu. Although what you said is correct, there's no need to say it so obviously."
"A gentleman of modesty is a lady who is easy to please. Let alone the fact that Miss Qin came for this princess, even if she came for the Third Emperor, there is nothing wrong with that."
"Besides, everyone here has the same idea. Why put it so bluntly? Don't you think so, Miss Sun?"
Although Princess Xinya didn't like Qin Yuan very much, they all came here today for Dugu Xin.
And she had promised Dugu Xin to entertain the guests, so how could she let someone lose face in front of her?
Miss Sun from the Prime Minister's Mansion was speechless after being confronted by Princess Xinya and could only smile awkwardly.
"Princess, that's right. I just don't know if I'll be lucky enough to meet the Third Prince today."
Princess Xinya smiled faintly, "I can't say for sure about this matter."
"Third Brother has a good temper, but he's a bit mysterious. No one knows what decision he'll make next."
"However, everyone here today is a guest. This princess will entertain you well. The banquet will begin soon. Please take your seats."
Qi Yuan and Sun Miaomiao looked at each other, neither of them willing to give in, but in the end neither of them said much.
The food was served quickly, and everyone sat down according to their family background. Princess Xinya invited singers and dancers to come and chat while they ate.
The ladies and young ladies on the female side were secretly competing with each other, while the officials on the male side were already vying to win over Dugu Xin.
Dugu Xin chatted with them with ease, neither refusing nor agreeing. His attitude left many officials confused for a moment.
While they were entertaining others, Queen Dayu went to the emperor crying and complaining.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has only passed away a few days ago, and the Third Prince is already hosting a banquet in the mansion. This is truly disrespectful of the Crown Prince."
Although Emperor Dayu had high hopes for Dugu Rui, he was very disappointed with him after this battle with Daxia.
In addition, people have forgotten about him since he left. Although Emperor Dayu was sad, he also knew that it was irreversible.
Now, several of Dayu's princes are suppressed by the queen and cannot achieve anything.
If he caused Dugu Xin and Dayu to become estranged again, he couldn't guarantee what Dugu Xin would do to Dayu.
"Queen, the Third Prince has gone through so much hardship to return to Dayu. Furthermore, he has saved so many Dayu soldiers and saved so many families. It's only right to hold a celebration banquet."
"Besides, I heard that they didn't do anything excessive, so there's no need to make such a fuss."
The queen was filled with resentment, but she also knew that this alone would not do anything to Dugu Xin.
"Your Majesty, my son is gone, but I am still the queen."
"So, I would like to transfer the Second Prince to my name. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The emperor had actually considered this a long time ago, although the second prince was slightly older than Dugu Xin.
But the second prince was timid and cowardly by nature, and was simply a person who could not be helped.
However, although the queen has lost her prince, her family should not be underestimated.
Thinking of this, the emperor frowned, but finally agreed.
"The Second Prince's mother passed away early. It is a blessing for him to have you take care of him now."
When the queen heard this, she immediately thanked him happily and then mentioned another matter.
"Your Majesty, now that the Crown Prince is gone, even though we have signed a contract with Daxia, there is no guarantee they will not violate it."
"I have another idea, I wonder if it's feasible?"
The emperor wanted to say that it was not feasible, but the queen's words made sense, so he asked her to speak quickly.
The queen walked happily to the emperor and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, after the last epidemic, our Dayu was severely damaged. Now the position of Crown Prince is vacant. I would like to..."
Before the queen could finish her words, Emperor Dayu's brows were already tightly furrowed. The queen was startled and hurriedly explained.
"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. I dare not make rash comments on the matter of appointing a crown prince."
"I just want to say that since the Third Prince is close to Daxia, why not let Daxia and Dayu marry?"
"The Third Prince is not young anymore, it's time for him to consider choosing a concubine."
"His mother died early, and as his mother, I should naturally give him more consideration."
The emperor's brows gradually relaxed, and he actually began to seriously consider the queen's words.
However, he not only planned to let Dugu Xin marry the princess of Daxia, but also planned to select a princess to send to Daxia as a marriage partner.
With both sides restraining him in this way, he will have more time to consider the issue of appointing a crown prince.
The Queen had long understood Emperor Dayu's thoughts clearly, and when she saw his brows relax, she knew that he had agreed.
"Your Majesty, I heard that many women from aristocratic families went to the Third Prince's residence today."
"If Your Majesty intends to have the Third Prince marry the Princess of Daxia, you should make plans early."
The emperor nodded and immediately sent his personal eunuch to convey the message to Dugu Xin.
After Dugu Xin understood the emperor's meaning, he nodded and agreed to the matter.
"Please inform the Emperor that I am willing to depart for Daxia at any time."
"However, I'm afraid I won't be able to marry the princess of Daxia, because I already have someone I love."
"As for who this beloved is, I will personally report this to my father later and ask him to grant me a marriage."
