Chapter 37 Full of Sincerity



To the woman, these words seemed like a provocation.

"I'm so angry!" The woman shook her sleeves and said angrily.

"My name is Zhao Rong, the younger sister of General Zhao Heng. Remember that!" She said proudly with her head held high.

"Zhao Rong has been waiting for Prince Yan for so many years, but Prince Yan refused to give in, saying that he still couldn't forget his deceased wife. Although there have been rumors about him hanging around in brothels over the years, it seems that they are just rumors now."

"Yes, I have heard all kinds of affairs about the Prince of Yan before, but now I know that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan has so many difficulties in his heart! It really makes anyone cry!"

At this time, the court officials and their wives looked at Luo Fanjin with a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes.

It is obvious that Prince Yan is so considerate of their old friendship and has a loving fatherly heart, but Luo Fanjin is being so aggressive here, which is really sad.

"Hehe..." Luo Fanjin laughed sarcastically.

Just by saying a few heartfelt words, these people believed it. Now she understood why the soldiers on the border were saying that the nobles in the capital were selfish and emotional!

They are just sinners who criticize others from a moral high ground. How many of them are innocent?

Seeing the King of Yan with tears streaming down his face and a pitiful expression, Luo Fanjin gradually grew angry. She was not the soul of this body, but she seemed to have taken on his emotions.

No matter what the reason was for the King of Yan to be found back then, so many years have passed and he has not visited his own children, but he is recognizing his daughter at this time. Luo Fanjin felt that even if her brain was hit by the door, she would not believe his current statement.

Just as her mother had been in a coma for so many years and there had been no news from her father, Luo Fanjin had never believed that family love in this world was really so selfless.

Now that the Prince of Yan has recognized her, is it possible that he doesn't value her military achievements?

The world is bustling with people all for profit, and she has seen it all.

"Alright! The recognition ends here, and the Simon Kingdom's worship continues today!"

Emperor Wen's unhappy voice came from the high platform. Since the emperor had spoken, everyone had to return to their seats.

Huangfu Jing saw that no one in Tianqi Kingdom mentioned the marriage again, and he cursed his bad luck in his heart. Now the best opportunity has been missed, and it seems that there is no way to let General Luo marry him.

However, this matter is not over yet!

"Your Majesty, please consider the marriage carefully. After all, my sister's dowry is ten states in the border area. All the sincerity of our Simon Kingdom is here!"

As soon as Huangfu Jing finished speaking, there were several gasps in the hall.

Ten prefectures, that’s a lot of territory, just give it to them as a dowry!

The worry that Emperor Wen had originally felt because of Luo Fanjin's life experience suddenly disappeared.

He has been in power for many years, but has never conquered so much land in Simon Kingdom. If he were to form an alliance through marriage, his achievements would be even more dazzling than those of his predecessors!

Emperor Wen was delighted, but when he looked at Murong Yanche, who was sitting beside him as if everything had nothing to do with him, he immediately felt uncomfortable.

Emperor Wen was also conflicted about agreeing to the marriage. On the one hand, it would make the crown prince more powerful, but on the other hand, the imperial power he held would become weaker. If this rebellious son turned out to have evil ambitions one day, it would be disastrous.

"In that case, I will consider the marriage and discuss it later," said Emperor Wen.

The ministers looked at the emperor with a conflicted expression and realized that "let's discuss it later" was just an excuse and that the emperor was actually already tempted.

"The government affairs of Simon Kingdom are urgent, and it is not convenient for this prince to stay. Please give a deadline, Your Majesty." Huangfu Jing asked.

Emperor Wen pursed his lips, looking unhappy, and said stiffly, "Three days later."

"Okay, in that case, I will wait for three more days!" Huangfu Jing acted calm and composed.

The person being arranged to marry, Murong Yanche, was calmly drinking his tea, as if he didn't care much.

This contrast made the emperor on the high platform seem even more impatient.

The ministers had a vague feeling that since the crown prince came of age, he had increasingly shown the noble temperament of an emperor, while the current emperor had a sense of decline. However, this matter could only be buried in the heart, and no one could speak of it.

Luo Fanjin returned to her seat. Even though everyone believed that she was the real Princess Mingzhu, Luo Fanjin herself felt uncomfortable.

As the dancers entered the room, the sound of stringed instruments wafted into the ears, and an atmosphere of singing and dancing filled the hall. Luo Fanjin lowered his head and began to savor the food.

Luo Fanjin had no intention of listening to the following banquet. It was nothing more than some words of congratulation. The emperor on the high platform was very happy, and all the civil and military officials were smiling.

In the end, no one mentioned how Luo Fanjin's identity would be dealt with. King Yan left early with a sadness on his face, which made people feel that Luo Fanjin was ungrateful and hurt her biological father's heart.

When the banquet was over, Luo Fanjin walked outside the hall and someone soon called her.

"General Luo! Can I see the copper coin?" Huangfu Jing ran over and asked without giving up.

Luo Fanjin raised her head, and the urgency in Huangfu Jing's voice made her pause.

I didn't expect that I would become such a popular person.

She stretched out her hand and placed a copper coin on her palm. Huangfu Jing took it as if possessed by a demon.

"This... this copper coin seems to be a royal item, but I have only seen it on my father." There was some uncertainty in his words.

"In that case, let this general find the answer himself!" Luo Fanjin quickly took back the copper coin, nodded slightly, and walked forward.

She didn't completely believe what Huangfu Jing said. Now, how many people in the entire capital would tell her the truth?

Luo Fanjin strode forward with a grace and determination that Huangfu Jing had never seen before.

"Brother, have you fallen in love with this woman?" Huangfu Lian'er came over and asked playfully.

"Like? That thing is too luxurious!" Huangfu Jing whispered.

"Remember, this marriage with the Tianqi Kingdom is the order of my father, and it is also your chance. When you submit the letter of credence on behalf of my sister in three days, your entire family will be freed from punishment!"

Huangfu Jing turned his head and looked at the "Huangfu Lian'er" who was wearing a veil and had hatred in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. When my uncle died, the state was lost, and the entire Li family was imprisoned. It was all thanks to Luo Fanjin. I will do my best to make Emperor Tianqi die in three days and make Luo Fanjin pay the price!"

"Okay! Then this prince will be waiting for your good news!"

Huangfu Jing raised the corners of his lips and looked at the magnificent Tianqi Palace with ambition in his eyes.

"The time will soon come when the Simon army will crush Apocalypse. Retreating in order to advance is the real opportunity!" The last sentence dissipated in the wind.

In the East Palace, facing Murong Yanche who remained unmoved despite the overwhelming pressure, Ming Yi and Ming Er were as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Master, we don't know what the princess of Simon looks like. Besides, His Majesty wants you to marry just for ten states. This is too..." He didn't say the next words, but everyone in the room knew what Mingyi meant.

"Too superficial, isn't it!" Murong Yanche didn't care at all and simply said what Mingyi was reluctant to say.

Ming Yi lowered his head and said repeatedly, "I dare not!"

"There's nothing I dare not do. He has always regarded me as a disaster. Now that he can exchange it for territory, how can he not be tempted?" Murong Yanche sneered, with sarcasm in his eyes.
