Chapter 1160: Prince Xiao asks for marriage
Originally, this matter had been debated many times in the court.
Those who support marriage have always had the upper hand.
After all, there are many people who support marriage.
Prime Minister Zheng originally also agreed to the marriage between the two countries.
However, at this time, he did not speak up. His eyes were dim and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
As the emperor's right-hand man, Prime Minister Zheng is not only talented, but also has a way of understanding the emperor's intentions.
The emperor had an inexplicable look on his face, but he always took good care of Princess Fude of the Su family.
Moreover, at this time, the Su brothers and sisters were brave and meritorious, so it was really hard to say what would happen to this matter.
King Cheng'en looked at the ministers who supported the marriage with disdain.
Then, he said loudly to Prince Mingxuan: "Prince of Xi Qin, since you are interested in forming a friendly relationship with Dayan, why do you insist on marrying our Dayan princess to your Xi Qin?"
King Cheng'en said this and expressed his opinion with confidence.
"In my opinion, if you are truly sincere, you should marry your princess from Western Qin to my Great Yan!"
As soon as King Cheng'en finished speaking, Princess Mingli walked over with a proud look on her face.
"This prince is very reasonable." Princess Mingli raised her chin and said, "My mother, the queen, has already agreed to allow me to choose my own prince consort in Dayan!"
"As a princess of Western Qin, marrying into Dayan is also a way to establish good relations between the two countries. It is no different from my brother marrying a princess of Dayan..."
Princess Mingli said this and looked at the second prince.
The second prince felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.
As expected, Princess Mingli saluted Emperor Tianxi and said, "Your Majesty, since Mingli came to Dayan, I have looked at all the young men in Dayan and found that only the Second Prince has a noble appearance and a graceful figure, which makes people admire him. Mingli begs Your Majesty to grant Mingli to be the Second Prince's principal wife!"
As soon as Princess Mingli finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.
Although everyone knew that women from Western Qin were open-minded, no one expected that Princess Mingli would say such shocking words in public.
An unmarried girl actually keeps saying that she has a crush on someone. She is really... shameless!
Not only that, he also belittled other young talents, and his hatred was very high.
Many people couldn't help but show disdain in their eyes.
Princess Mingli doesn't care about all this. She won't stay in Dayan anyway.
What's more, in their Xi Qin, as a princess, she could naturally summon whoever she liked to her princess's mansion.
Prince Cheng'en laughed heartily and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I believe that this Princess Xiqin is a sensible woman and is worthy of being the Second Prince's principal wife!"
The second prince's face turned dark and he stepped forward with his arm supported.
"Father, I already have someone I like."
After saying that, he looked at Tang Bao.
Tang Bao's face turned dark.
As expected, the Second Prince shouted, "This son admires Princess Ford. Please grant us marriage!"
Although he was originally disappointed, the Second Prince would never give up without a final struggle.
What if the emperor agrees?
What's more, he would never marry Princess Mingli!
Princess Mingli was unhappy. She pinched her waist and said loudly, "Second Prince, I am a princess of noble status. Is it possible that I am not worthy of you?"
The Second Prince thought to himself: If you, a princess of a foreign race, marry me as my principal wife, can I still be crowned Crown Prince? How can the Crown Princess of Dayan be a foreigner? If they give birth to a child, wouldn't that taint the royal bloodline?
Of course, the Second Prince’s concerns were very reasonable.
"Thank you, Princess Mingli, for your kindness. However, marriage cannot be forced!" The Second Prince bowed and said, "I am sorry to disappoint the princess."
After hearing what the second prince said, Princess Mingli glared at Tang Bao with anger on her face.
Tang Bao: “…”
Well, the acting was good.
Tang Bao is very confident in Princess Mingli's acting skills.
"Hmph! It's no use for you to like Su Tang!" Princess Mingli said arrogantly, "She lost the bet with me and has promised me that she will never marry you in this life. So forget about marrying her!"
Upon hearing this, the Second Prince gritted his teeth in anger and said, "How can a bet between girls in the boudoir count? Moreover, the princess won in an ignominious way. As long as the emperor grants her marriage..."
"Second Prince." Tang Bao interrupted the Second Prince and said, "I've already said that although I'm not a real man, I also know the principle of keeping a promise. Since I've promised Princess Mingli, I must abide by it, even if it means-"
There was a look of determination and resolve on Tang Bao's little face.
"Give up your life!"
Second Prince: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Everyone looked at the Second Prince and then at Tang Bao.
Finally, he looked at Emperor Tianxi.
Emperor Tianxi's eyes were cold and his face had an expression of majesty without anger.
No one could figure out what the emperor meant.
But everyone feels that these things today are getting bigger and bigger.
Xuanyuan Jin stepped forward and said in a cold voice, "Second brother is not worthy of Princess Fude, so stop dreaming!"
When the second prince heard this, he almost got angry.
This is too disrespectful to him!
He is a prince, but he is not worthy of a little girl from the countryside?
After hearing Xuanyuan Jin's words, the others also showed incredible expressions.
If even the prince is not worthy of her, who else in the world is worthy of her?
Doesn’t the Third Prince think too highly of Princess Fude?
Isn't she just a little girl?
Not convinced!
I really don't accept it!
Not only the Second Prince was dissatisfied, but many of the ladies present were also dissatisfied!
Naturally, Princess Linghua and Xia Siya both felt that what Xuanyuan Jin said was absolutely right.
The Second Prince's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Then, in my opinion, who is worthy of Princess Fude?"
Xuanyuan Jin said frankly: "I haven't seen anyone worthy of her yet."
Tang Bao stroked her forehead.
Really, I feel so embarrassed.
Even if you are thick-skinned, you can't help but feel your cheeks getting hot.
Prince Xiao of Northern Qi stepped forward and addressed Emperor Tianxi, saying loudly, "Your Majesty, I have only been in Dayan a short time, but I am deeply impressed by Princess Fude's intelligence. I hereby request that Princess Fude be my principal wife. I also ask Your Majesty to grant this marriage. Northern Qi and Dayan are committed to a lasting friendship and to signing a border peace agreement. Northern Qi will never invade Dayan..."
Following Prince Xiao's words, the Second Prince and the others were stunned.
Then, who was worthy of Princess Fude? The prince of Northern Qi came to propose marriage.
Xuanyuan Jin's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, the veins on his forehead throbbed, his fists were clenched tightly, and he looked like he was about to rush over and beat up Prince Xiao.
Su Laowu's face was also as dark as water, and he looked at Prince Xiao with cold eyes.
What a toad wanting to eat swan flesh!
How could such an old man be worthy of my precious sister?
It's simply humiliating my own sister!
Well, Prince Xiao, who is about thirty years old, is already an old man in Su Laowu's eyes!
