Chapter 1169: The topic finally came back
Tang Bao was not surprised by this.
After all, from the perspective of these ministers, they absolutely cannot reject both Western Qin and Northern Qi.
What's more, the one being married off is not one's own daughter!
Tang Bao glanced at Princess Mingli.
As the Princess of Western Qin, do you have a very weak sense of presence?
Princess Mingli: “…”
Well, she also felt insulted.
She, a princess of Western Qin, has already proposed to marry the second prince of Dayan as his principal wife.
As a result, it seems that everyone has forgotten this!
Princess Mingli looked around at the noisy and conflicting officials, each expressing their own opinions. With a displeased expression, she said in a delicate voice, "What do you mean? Do you look down on me?!"
The civil and military officials seemed to be stuck by the neck and suddenly fell silent.
How could they forget that there was a princess from Western Qin who wanted to marry into Dayan on her own initiative?
However, a princess is not as important as a prince!
So, after a moment of silence, the civil and military officials turned their attention back to Tang Bao and Princess Huaning.
Princess Mingli sneered and said, "You probably don't know that my mother loves her most, and it's her daughter, me!"
"If this princess is unhappy, what does it matter if you marry a woman?"
"You treat me so badly. If I say a few words to my mother, the Queen, I'm sure you'll give me the position of Crown Prince Mingxuan! Then... hehe..."
Princess Mingli sneered twice, and the threat was self-evident.
Civil and military officials: "..."
How could they forget that the emperor of Western Qin was a woman?
Who knows, he might really pass the throne to his daughter!
When Prince Mingxuan heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"Royal sister, stop talking nonsense!" Prince Mingxuan said anxiously, "The Queen Mother doesn't like you at all, so she won't pass the throne to you!"
Princess Mingli glanced at Crown Prince Mingxuan and said, "Why not? Have you forgotten that the founding monarch of Western Qin was a female emperor? Historically, the throne has only been passed to a male heir if the royal family has no daughters?"
Prince Mingxuan: "..."
His expression froze.
Because Princess Mingli was telling the truth.
Princess Mingli snorted and added with disdain, "If it weren't for the Grand Duke, who whispered in the Queen Mother's ear all day long, slandering her and inciting her to appoint a fool like you as the Crown Prince, I would have been appointed the Crown Princess long ago!"
"Nonsense!" Crown Prince Mingxuan's face flushed crimson as he shouted angrily, "All you do all day is collect beauties instead of doing your job. The Queen Mother has always hated you. Even without the advice of the Grand Consort, the Queen Mother would never have appointed you as the Crown Princess!"
"What a joke! You're making it sound like you don't like beauties?" Princess Mingli sneered and said, "You just saw a portrait of Princess Huaning and you're so obsessed with her that you're willing to give away half of Western Qin to get her. How dare you criticize me?!"
Prince Mingxuan: "..."
It's been a while.
His face was full of shame and anger.
When the civil and military officials saw the two siblings from the Western Qin royal family exposing each other's shortcomings, they fell silent and just watched the show in silence.
But he secretly mocked himself in his heart, thinking that the prince and princess of Western Qin were both useless!
Although they thought so in their hearts, the civil and military officials also realized that they could not ignore Her Royal Highness the Princess of Western Qin.
After all, the customs of Western Qin and Dayan are different.
According to the tradition of Western Qin, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the legitimate heir to the throne.
In this case, Her Royal Highness the Princess must stay in Dayan.
Otherwise, if she felt that she had lost face in Dayan, she would go back and fight with the crown prince for the throne, and then take revenge on Dayan...
The ministers were startled.
Many dangers must be nipped in the bud!
Prime Minister Zheng stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the Princess of Xi Qin wishes for friendship between Xi Qin and Dayan, and is deeply in love with the Second Prince. This is a match made in heaven, a great joy!"
Once Prime Minister Zheng took the lead, a group of people naturally followed suit.
"Your Majesty, Princess Xi Qin is a gifted and intelligent woman, worthy of being the consort of the Second Prince!"
"Your Majesty, I think..."
One by one, court officials came forward and praised the marriage.
The second prince's face darkened.
Why hasn't the Princess of Western Qin given up yet?
Didn't I already say that I didn't want to marry her?
How can she be so shameless?
And these damn ministers, they are all fence-sitters!
Before the third brother came back, who among them was not respectful to him?
Now that they see that the emperor values the third prince, none of them takes the second prince seriously anymore!
Humph! When this prince takes over that throne, I will definitely punish you severely!
The second prince said harsh words in his heart, but his face showed an extremely sad expression.
"Father, I'm attracted to Fude... No, I'm just unlucky. My two fiancées have passed away one after another. I really don't dare to delay Princess Xiqin."
The second prince stuttered for a moment, thinking of Tang Bao. He was afraid that he had completely given up hope, so he had to change his words and brought out the gimmick of being a wife-killer.
The second prince deeply hoped that he could scare Princess Mingli by using the reputation of being a wife-killer.
But it didn't matter. Not only did these words fail to scare Princess Mingli, they made her very happy.
Very good!
He is unlucky for his wife!
Hahaha……
Princess Mingli was so happy that she was smiling from ear to ear!
It would be best to kill Mingxuan directly!
Princess Mingli then looked at the Second Prince and said with deep affection, "Since this princess is deeply in love with the Second Prince, I naturally don't care about those nonsense! Even if I am really killed by the Second Prince, I will be willing to do so and have nothing to do with him!"
Princess Mingli said the last part with a firm expression, as if she would remain loyal until death.
She almost moved herself!
When the civil and military officials heard that the Princess of Western Qin was so devoted to the Second Prince, they must grant his wish!
Moreover, they said it themselves that they would not blame others even if they died.
Then what is there to worry about?
For a time, all kinds of praise and approval voices were heard.
The second prince's hands and feet were cold, and he felt helpless.
But deep down in my heart, I feel a little proud.
Finally, there was a woman who saw clearly and understood his handsomeness and extraordinary talent, and who was not afraid of death for him...
The Second Prince's hidden vanity as a man was greatly satisfied at this moment.
Xuanyuan Jin saw that the situation was getting heated, and said, "Father, the Princess of Xiqin's feelings for my second brother are truly moving. As the prince of Great Yan, my second brother has always prided himself on his understanding of justice. I'm sure he would be willing to marry the Princess of Xiqin for the sake of the alliance between our two countries."
Xuanyuan Jin said this, looked at the Second Prince, and asked: "Is that so, Second Brother?"
Second Prince: “…”
It's bullshit!
The second prince felt very upset, but he couldn't say the words to deny it.
Otherwise, it would seem that he does not understand the bigger picture.
It can be said that the second prince is now in a dilemma because of Xuanyuan Jin's words.
