Chapter 153 Accomplishment
Wu Yaoming's eyes suddenly widened.
"What do you mean, brother?"
The slightly plump young man looked around and whispered, "Prince, do you know that the Beituo delegation wants to ask for the Sixth Princess to marry on behalf of the King of Beituo?"
Wu Yaoming's expression changed instantly: "You barbarians are dreaming! Your Majesty will never agree to this!"
The slightly plump young man sighed.
"If the Second Prince of Beituo had not been in trouble, Your Majesty would have naturally rejected their request sternly. However, he was assassinated on our Daxi territory, and his life is now hanging by a thread. Your Majesty is afraid that you will have to give in."
Wu Yaoming's face darkened.
The slightly plump young man continued, "The only thing that could prevent the Sixth Princess from marrying off is probably an engagement. But the Sixth Princess is still unmarried. If Your Majesty were to find her a consort on short notice, Beituo would certainly not accept it. However, I believe there might be room for maneuver."
"How to turn things around?"
The slightly plump young man smiled and said, "I heard that the Ninth Prince who succeeded the Second Prince of Beituo is a very affectionate person. If he knew that the Sixth Princess already has someone she loves and has secretly pledged her life to, perhaps he would be willing to help the Sixth Princess."
"The Sixth Princess has a lover?!"
Wu Yaoming punched the railing.
“Who is it?!”
The slightly plump young man stretched out a finger, pointed at his face and said, "It's far away in the sky, but it's right in front of us."
Wu Yaoming: “!!!”
"I, I am the Sixth Princess's sweetheart?"
The slightly plump young man said meaningfully, "Maybe not in the past, but in the future...if the Crown Prince can save the Sixth Princess from danger, how can the Sixth Princess not be grateful and keep the Crown Prince in her heart?"
Wu Yaoming suddenly felt enlightened.
"Brother, you are so talented!"
He bowed to the plump young man.
"When this prince and the Sixth Princess tie the knot, I will definitely invite you to sit at the main table!"
The slightly plump young man smiled faintly: "Then I would like to congratulate the prince and the princess in advance and wish them a long and happy marriage. I will definitely ask for a glass of wedding wine when the time comes."
Wu Yaoming returned home in a happy mood.
Wu Si Niang, who had been waiting for him for half a day, came forward and said, "Brother, where have you been? Did you know that the Sixth Princess has something to tell you?"
Wu Yaoming hurriedly stopped and asked, "What does the Sixth Princess want to tell me?"
Wu Siniang: "The princess asked me to remind you to keep your mouth shut and keep this matter about Feng Shi to yourself."
"Princess, please rest assured. Even if I am torn to pieces, I will not reveal a single word."
He swore solemnly.
"By the way, do you have any personal belongings given by the princess?"
Wu Si Niang's eyes widened: "What are you thinking? How could the princess give away something so personal?"
"What about the other items?" Wu Yaoming asked, "You've been with the princess for so long, you must have received some rewards from her, right?"
Wu Si Niang: "A few days ago, when you asked me to find you to handle the Feng family matter, you gave me a set of headgear. You also gave me some agates and pearls as a reward..."
"show me."
"What are you looking at this for?"
"Don't worry about it, just bring it here."
Wu Si Niang reluctantly sent her personal maid to bring the Sixth Princess's reward.
Wu Yaoming picked up a jade pendant and put it in his arms.
Without waiting for his sister to ask any questions, he turned and left the house.
Wu Siniang: "???"
This is ridiculous, you're not going to give the princess's jade pendant to a girl, are you?!
Of course Wu Yaoming wouldn't.
He went straight to Sifang Pavilion with the jade pendant in his pocket and asked to see the ninth prince of Beituo.
"The Sixth Princess and I are in love, but we haven't had time to ask His Majesty to arrange a marriage yet. Please ask the Ninth Prince to choose another noble lady from the royal family for your father so that we can both be happy."
After meeting the person, he took out the jade pendant and spoke straight to the point.
Qi Yu, instructed by Feng Qingsui, glanced at the jade pendant and asked doubtfully, "Are the Crown Prince and the Sixth Princess really in love?"
Wu Yaoming said firmly: "Of course."
"Already decided on a lifelong commitment?"
"That's right."
Qi Yu sighed slightly: "Why didn't the Third Prince tell my brother before? He almost caused my brother Beituo to break up a pair of lovers."
Wu Yaoming laughed and said, "Perhaps they are afraid that your country will mistakenly think that Daxi despises your father, and they don't want to cause trouble."
"We, the people of Beituo, are not unreasonable barbarians. We wouldn't be unable to understand even this little bit of love between men and women."
Qi Yu smiled.
"Don't worry, I will change the marriage candidate during tomorrow's meeting."
Wu Yaoming was ecstatic.
He actually got it done!
He solved the problem that the imperial concubine and the third prince were unable to solve with just a few words!
He and the Sixth Princess are indeed meant to be a couple!
"Thank you, Ninth Prince, for your help!"
He grinned.
"If the Ninth Prince is still in Daxi when the Sixth Princess and I get married, please be sure to come to the wedding banquet."
Qi Yu nodded: "I am looking forward to it too."
The next day, he brought his officials to the Daxi Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive my brother's rudeness. I didn't know that the Sixth Princess was already engaged, so I asked for her hand in marriage for our father."
The emperor was slightly stunned.
Is Xiaoliu engaged?
How come he doesn't know?
"How did the Ninth Prince know this?"
Qi Yu replied, "The Marquis of Wu'an came to see me yesterday at the Sifang Pavilion and said that he and the Sixth Princess had already secretly decided to spend their lives together, and asked me to grant their blessing."
"He also showed me the token of love given to him by the Sixth Princess. Seeing his sincerity, I believed him."
"Is this true?"
The emperor's mind raced.
The imperial concubine has been looking for him frequently recently, and her words and actions show that she is reluctant to let Xiaoliu marry far away. Her intention is obvious.
If he had a choice, he would naturally hope that Xiaoliu would stay in Xi Country.
However, the Second Prince of Beituo must have Xiaoliu, and he almost lost his life in Daxi and has not yet regained consciousness. If the Beituo delegation insists on marrying Xiaoliu, it will be difficult for him to refuse.
I didn't expect that the Prince of Wu'an would suddenly intervene.
He had heard that the Prince of Wu'an was in love with Xiaoliu, but he was uneducated and had an ugly appearance. He looked disgusted whenever Xiaoliu was mentioned, and he had never thought of arranging a marriage for them.
But at the moment, although the action of the Marquis of Wu'an damaged Xiaoliu's reputation, it also helped Xiaoliu out of the predicament.
Since the Ninth Prince of Beituo believed what he said, he arranged a marriage between him and Xiaoliu. After the Beituo delegation left, he found an excuse to cancel their engagement, and Xiaoliu was able to get rid of the marriage.
It also solved his urgent problem.
He smiled and said, "They have known each other since childhood and do have some friendship. I originally wanted to arrange a marriage for them, but I didn't expect that as soon as your brother arrived, he wanted Xiaoliu to marry..."
Qi Yu chuckled: "The Sixth Princess is a beautiful and graceful woman with a kind heart. My brother doesn't know that she has a lover, so he naturally hopes that she will come to marry. However, we will not separate lovers."
The emperor nodded and said: "The Ninth Prince is young and promising, knowledgeable and respectful. It is admirable that Prince Tuo has such a son."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Qi Yuqian smiled. "I wonder when Prince Wu and the Sixth Princess will get married? I have never attended Daxi's wedding banquet and I would like to have a drink before leaving."
When the emperor heard this, he knew that he was probably skeptical about the matter and was testing its authenticity.
If you hadn't seen Xiaoliu and the Marquis of Wu'an get married with your own eyes, you probably wouldn't have believed their affair and would have thought it was just an excuse for him to prevent Xiaoliu from getting married.
Anyway, Xiaoliu is a princess and she can change her prince consort at any time.
It's nothing to just go through the motions.
Then he said, "We need the cooperation of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to know the horoscope. I will let them choose a good day nearby so that you can have the wedding wine."
