Although he still remembered Wan'er's advice to him to be patient and accept all the conditions proposed by the Daqiu people, Fu Mingchi still couldn't bear the anger in his heart at this time, and he wanted to kill these arrogant bastards immediately.
Princess Daqiu's words deeply touched Emperor Zhaolie's bottom line.
On the one hand, he had promised Ji Yuan that he would take good care of his daughter; on the other hand, he knew that his time was running out, and like Concubine Zhang, he also hoped to see the Yongning Palace have more descendants as soon as possible.
My nephew has such a personality that he hasn't married for so many years. If Jinghe is really sent to the northern border, this kid may have to wait until a long time to get married.
He would never tolerate this happening.
Seeing the murderous intent in his nephew's eyes, Emperor Zhaolie spoke in a deep voice, "Since Daqiu wishes to submit to the other nations, it should convince them with reason. How can it be unreasonable to forcibly seize another's wife? Princess Helian, I am willing to submit not because I am afraid of you, Daqiu, but because I do not want the people to suffer again once the war breaks out."
"Really?" Helian Jiu looked at Emperor Zhaolie coldly, "I didn't expect the Emperor of Daye to be so lenient."
He glanced at Fu Mingchi from the corner of his eye, and seeing that he looked angry, he suddenly felt a little afraid.
It’s not that I’m afraid of his resistance, but because this face is just too beautiful.
As early as when she was in the Northern Capital, she had heard of this man's name. Although he was only a vassal king of Yuezhou, he was the most capable and handsome member of the entire Fu clan.
Her greatest wish in this life is to marry this man and stay with him forever.
Recently, she had also heard the story of Prince Yongning and his soon-to-be-married princess, and she was probably very much in love with her husband.
It is not easy to make him marry me willingly, but so what.
If he were to marry her peacefully, Helian Jiu would find it boring. It would be more exciting to snatch her from someone else.
"It's not impossible for Prince Yongning to refuse to allow Princess Jinghe to go to Daqiu," Helian Jiu said with a smile. "My father and the Crown Prince only want Daye's submission. As long as you are obedient, there are of course other ways to resolve this matter."
"Your Majesty has agreed to peace talks. From now on, Emperor Daqiu will be the supreme ruler, and we, the subjects, shall submit to him." Li Youzhen asked anxiously, "I wonder what other solution the princess is talking about?"
Helian Jiu's eyes were still fixed on Fu Mingchi. "This princess would like to ask His Majesty to immediately appoint Prince Yongning as the Crown Prince and confer the title of Crown Princess on me."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Fu Mingchi at the same time.
Fu Mingchi secretly clenched his fists and said with a half-smile, "Princess Helian wants to marry me so much?"
Helian Jiu pursed his lips provocatively: "There is no other way. I heard that His Highness's original wedding date is in half a month. Why don't we choose this day to get married?"
"This truly makes everyone happy," Li Youzhen agreed with a smile, "Princess Helian is willing to marry into our dynasty. From now on, there will surely be long-lasting peace between our two countries."
The important officials knelt one after another and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Yongning, please accept Princess Helian's advice."
Emperor Zhaolie was very displeased when he heard this and just glanced at Fu Mingchi silently.
"Okay." Fu Mingchi smiled calmly, "It doesn't matter who you choose to make your consort. Since Princess Helian is so sincere, how can I not obey?"
After he finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Li Youzhen and the court officials and said, "I hope that your wish will be fulfilled and there will be no more wars between our two countries."
Then he took a step forward and walked away.
Although Emperor Zhaolie was reluctant, he guessed that this must have been discussed in advance by Princess Jinghe and his nephew. He immediately agreed to Helian Jiu's proposal and ordered people to draft an edict to confer the title of Crown Prince and Crown Princess.
As soon as the news left the palace, it alarmed the entire Lin'an City, and the Ji Mansion was in an uproar. Aunt Sun, who had originally decided to live a peaceful life, was immediately overjoyed.
"It seems the Third Miss is being a bit too alarmist," Aunt Sun said to Mother Rong beside her. "Prince Yongning's treatment of the eldest Miss is just this bad. His so-called deep affection has now made the eldest Miss a laughing stock in Lin'an City once again."
After saying that, he led Mother Rong directly to Ji Ningxuan's yard.
Because of the sudden disappearance of Aunt Zheng, Ji Ningxuan's uncle and aunt have been feeling uneasy. After learning the news that the eldest daughter of the Ji family had lost power, they rushed to their niece's courtyard as soon as possible.
When Aunt Sun arrived, people in the courtyard were arguing fiercely.
"Ning Xuan, what exactly are you afraid of?"
Zheng Dayi said angrily, "You are my niece. How can you be so disloyal and always side with that orphan girl? Is your cousin's inheritance of the Ji family worse than that wild boy of the Qin family? Why do you want to let an outsider take advantage of it?"
Aunt You also said: "That's right, before the eldest girl wanted to marry into the Yongning Palace, you were a little apprehensive, but now she has become an abandoned girl, and you still support her. Did your head get stuck in the door?"
Ji Ningxuan always felt that things were not that simple.
Although she did not understand the affairs of the court, she was well aware of people's hearts.
If Fu Mingchi didn't care about his elder sister, why would he have gone to Lin'an alone, and he would not have taken the risk of placing the Yuezhou army at Jiayu Pass.
All he did was to stop his elder sister from going to the northern border to marry a foreign prince. How could he suddenly change his mind just because of the arrival of Princess Daqiu?
Not to mention that Helian Jiu is the enemy of Yongning Palace. How could the Zhang family be willing to let Fu Mingchi marry his enemy as his future mistress?
All this could only be the plot of the eldest sister and Fu Mingchi.
Now that she has made her choice, she will not waver in her determination easily.
"Uncle and aunt, please go back soon. I don't know where my mother is, and I'm powerless to help you." Ji Ningxuan's eyes were unwavering. "Dad left a will before he died, leaving it to my eldest sister to take care of all the affairs of the mansion. I can't interfere."
