Chapter 378 He Doesn't Sell His Body
"I knew Wujina was a good girl, willing to sacrifice herself for Mobei. But don't worry, you are of noble birth, and you can choose any of the talented young men of Daxia in this hall today."
Wujina cursed in her heart, but on the surface she looked like a sister relying on her brother: "I'm not familiar with these Daxia people. Who do you think is suitable for me to marry, Brother Third?"
The third prince really hadn't thought about the fact that he didn't know much about the Daxia people, and the only purpose of doing this was to keep Wujina here.
It doesn't matter who you marry.
As long as she doesn't return to Mobei, it will be a fatal blow to the queen's line.
In fact, it would be better if the person could be killed, but the tribe behind the queen is really not easy to deal with.
Besides, he is already a cripple now. Why should he offend the queen and make things difficult for others?
Thinking of the news he had recently received, he couldn't help but look at the fifth prince. Could he really be the heir to the throne chosen by his father?
The third prince was actually not as stupid as Wujina thought. He had so many thoughts in an instant, but he still managed to put on a look of guilt towards his sister in time.
"It's already unfair for you to come to Daxia, why are you still considering whether it's suitable or not? Whoever you choose is who you choose."
His tone was doting, just like a good brother.
Wujina said gratefully, "Third brother is the best to me."
The fifth prince felt something indescribable strange when he saw this loving scene between the brother and sister.
Regardless of what Wujina was like, just looking at the Third Prince's behavior, he felt that he had no right to accuse others of being hypocritical.
It is a good thing that Wujina agreed to the marriage, but the choice of the bride cannot be casual.
He didn't want Wujina's marriage to bring strong support to the Queen's family.
Originally, the people of Daxia had no right to control the succession of the Mobei throne, at least not openly.
But if Wujina married a Daxia man, her husband could still do whatever he wanted.
He was about to say something when he heard Emperor Jingming from above suddenly say, "The Third Prince of Mobei proposed to me today that Princess Wujina of Mobei should stay in Daxia for marriage. I wonder what Princess Wujina thinks of this?"
Of course, the emperor would not decide on his marriage partner at will.
I'm afraid none of the noble families in the capital would be willing to marry a princess from Mobei.
Not only is it useless, but once the two countries go to war, it is easy to be implicated, and it is not impossible to be accused of treason if you are not careful.
So this is actually a difficult problem for the emperor.
He couldn't force others to marry the princess of Mobei.
Wujina stood up and said with a smile: "Of course I am willing. The men of Daxia are good-looking and I like them very much."
Emperor Jingming met her serious and sincere eyes, and for a moment he could not tell whether she was serious or mocking the appearance of the Da Xia man.
The smile on his face froze for a moment. "It's naturally a good thing for our two countries to form an alliance. Most of the young talents of our Great Xia are here. Is there anyone that Princess likes?"
Wujina's eyes swept across the hall, and when she saw Ji Yunshu, she deliberately winked at her.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but look at Xiao Yu, feeling a little sympathetic towards this unfortunate child.
Sure enough, the next moment, Wujina said, "I want to marry him."
She stretched out a finger and pointed at Xiao Yu.
Although Wujina had said this to Xiao Yu before, he was a careless person. At that time, Wujina acted too casually, so he just thought she was joking.
Now seeing the other person's finger pointing at him, he was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses: "Are you talking about me?"
Wujina looked at his dumbfounded expression and smiled brightly: "It's you."
Xiao Yu immediately went to see the emperor and said he would not sell himself.
His expression was so obvious that Emperor Jingming could hardly hold back his laughter.
But then I discovered one thing: Xiao Yu was indeed suitable.
The reasons I used to consider Xiao Yue also apply to Xiao Yu.
He was born into a royal family, had sufficient status, and was someone he trusted very much.
The only trouble is that the Princess of Mobei cannot be a concubine, but if she is the principal wife, the direct line of the Lin'an Prince's Mansion will have the blood of the Mobei royal family, which will be a problem.
Emperor Jingming was a little embarrassed for a moment.
As if he understood what Emperor Jingming meant, Xiao Yu immediately said, "No, Your Majesty, I am not worthy of the princess of Mobei."
Are you kidding? If he marries this princess, he will have to worship her like an ancestor. How is he going to live the rest of his life?
He originally thought that the emperor would not agree.
But then he thought, who else could it be if not him?
So his tone of voice was a little hollow.
Xiao Yue was also shocked by this unexpected change. She had always thought that it was natural for her to marry into a foreign kingdom, but when it came to her brother's turn, it didn't seem right no matter how she thought about it.
She couldn't help but whisper to Lan Ting, "There are so many people here, why did Princess Mobei choose my brother? Is she taking revenge on me?"
Although Lan Ting showed no emotion on her face, she felt a little complicated in her heart. Everyone said that this Mobei princess was the pearl of the grassland. She was raised in the palm of the hand of the Mobei king and queen and had a simple heart.
It turns out that no one born in a royal family is truly stupid.
"You don't have to think too much. She might have chosen your brother simply because he's suitable."
"suitable?"
Xiao Yue was puzzled.
"Yes, you and he are born of the same mother. He has everything you have. Why would the emperor consider you as a marriage partner and him as well?"
Xiao Yue was a little anxious: "How can this be the same?"
My brother is the only legitimate son of our father and is the one who will inherit the palace.
Lan Ting smiled and said, "Yes, he is different. Perhaps it is this difference that made Princess Mobei choose him."
Seeing that Xiao Yue still didn't understand what he meant and looked anxious, he could only comfort her: "Don't worry, this Mobei Princess is very smart, she won't stay in Daxia."
He was not sure about the princess's plan before, but now, he suddenly felt that the fifth prince might not be a match for this one.
Wujina was qualified to be the queen of Mobei, so why did she stay in Daxia to get married and have children?
Xiao Yue was now even more confused: "You said that Princess Mobei is smart?"
She had heard a lot of rumors about this princess these days and had met her a few times. It was clear that she was a girl with a personality similar to hers.
She never thought of herself as smart.
Lan Ting smiled and shook his head: "It's more than just cleverness, you will understand later."
He pretended to be a pig and wanted to eat the tiger. He even fooled the King of Mobei and the fifth prince, not to mention Xiao Yue.
Wu Rina ignored everyone's discussions and said to Xiao Yu: "It is me who wants to marry you. I think you are worthy of me. Are you saying this because you look down on me?"
Ji Yunshu also felt that she had really underestimated Wujina. She was so bold in thinking and doing things, and was indeed the material to be a queen.
If Prince Lin'an didn't have only this one son, she really wanted to ask Xiao Yu to obey her.
Anyway, Xiao Yu is not the kind of person who strives for success, so it is not easy for him to have such an opportunity to lie down and do nothing.
Xiao Yu opened his mouth: "I... don't look down on you."
His words were not convincing. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Prince of Lin'an stood up and bowed to Emperor Jingming, saying: "Your Majesty, I... only have this one son."
