Chapter 964
Finally, the Sixth Prince smiled and said, "Your Highness, you flatter me. We are old acquaintances. Although things weren't very pleasant before, we have known each other for a long time. So, when I come to visit, I should naturally show you all the proper etiquette."
"That's really thorough."
It's quite interesting that the two sides were fighting so fiercely not long ago, but now they can sit together and talk so peacefully.
“Prince Huo, our two countries will soon be united by marriage, and we will be one family. Why are you so cold to me?”
Huo Yue didn't even raise an eyebrow: "Since we've come this far, then I'd like to ask Your Highness, which princess do you intend to send for this marriage alliance?"
The Sixth Prince smiled impeccably: "Our Great Chu has no princess of marriageable age. I'm afraid that in the future, your princess will have to be forced to marry into that family."
"But don't worry, since we're family, once the princess marries into the family, we'll naturally treat her well and ensure she doesn't suffer any mistreatment."
Huo Yue smiled with a smirk: "If there are no princesses of marriageable age, then there are even fewer princes of marriageable age. There might be quite a few new princes."
In the past two years, the Chu Emperor has become increasingly absurd in his behavior. It is said that he has forcibly taken many young and beautiful women into the palace. Now that he is nearing the end of his life, he wants to have more children.
Upon hearing Huo Yue's words, the Sixth Prince's face inevitably darkened.
Huo Yue's expression darkened further.
They are all rivals. Even if they are to form a marriage alliance in the future, there are still many things to discuss before the alliance takes place.
In any case, we cannot give an inch.
The two stared at each other from a distance, neither willing to give in.
Just then, the princess spoke up: "What Prince Huo said is quite right, but let's stick to the facts. We don't have any princesses of marriageable age to marry into our country. It seems that this is the only solution to this problem."
Huo Yue leaned back: "What the Crown Princess said is inappropriate. If we really can't reach an agreement, there is another solution."
That means we should keep fighting.
The Sixth Prince is now besieged on all sides, but they are not.
If Southern Chu refuses to agree, and war breaks out again, they might be able to take over a few more territories.
However, this is the last resort.
Because every war inevitably results in casualties, and behind each of those cold, hard numbers lies a warm home.
But regardless of whether a fight breaks out in the end, this attitude must be made clear first.
The Sixth Prince and his wife exchanged a glance and said with a smile, "Your Highness, we didn't come here today to discuss these important national affairs."
"We're new here in Luoyang City, and you're the only people we know. If it's convenient, would you, Your Highness or Princess, be willing to show us around the city?"
"You two are distinguished guests. The imperial court has arranged for someone to guide you, so there is no need for our family to help you."
"Look at what you're saying. What's the point of having the person in charge just doing official business?"
Huo Yue and Zhong Jie exchanged a glance.
These two are really troublesome.
After a moment, Zhong Jie spoke up: "Then let's go and invite the princess over."
A short while later, Huo Zhao arrived.
This was also the first time Huo Zhao had seen the rumored sixth prince and princess, but after a careful look, he did not find any difference in their appearances.
She curtsied gracefully.
"You two have come from afar, why don't you rest a bit more at the Sifang Pavilion before coming out for a stroll?"
Huo Zhao spoke much more gently.
The Sixth Prince's Consort smiled and said, "I've seen many magnificent sights along the way, so I don't feel tired."
Huo Zhao sat down next to Zhong Jie.
Zhong Jie grasped her hand: "Now that the Sixth Prince and Princess Consort are here, Zhao Zhao, why don't you take them for a walk around the capital?"
