Chapter 1170: The Second Prince’s Marriage is Decided
The second prince grunted for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and uttered a word.
"Third brother, what you said is absolutely right."
After the Second Prince said this, his stomach seemed to be filled with coptis water.
It's so bitter.
As a royal heir, he naturally understood that whenever the interests of the family and the country were involved, some things could not be denied.
Just like Princess Huaning, even though she and Su Laowu had a common understanding, she still agreed to the marriage with tears in her eyes for the benefit of Dayan.
After all, having enjoyed the glory bestowed upon her by the royal family, she must shoulder the responsibilities of being a royal daughter.
The second prince should naturally do the same.
Xuanyuan Jin forced the Second Prince to confess against his will. Then, looking at Emperor Tianxi, he said, "Father, my second brother agrees with this marriage. Please grant the order to allow it!"
As soon as Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking, Prince Mingxuan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, on behalf of the Western Qin royal family, I would like to ask for the hand in marriage from the Second Prince of Dayan."
"Oh my God!" Tang Bao exclaimed, blurting out: "He likes the Second Prince! He wants to ask for his hand in marriage!"
Everyone: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched.
immediately--
“Puff!”
“Ahem…”
Some people tried to hold back their laughter, while others tried to hold back their laughter by rubbing their lips and coughing.
Prince Mingxuan's face suddenly turned red.
So angry!
He couldn't help but shout in anger, "Nonsense! I'm speaking on behalf of my sister!"
Tang Bao: "...Oh, but you didn't explain yourself clearly, it's easy for people to misunderstand."
Tang Bao spoke slowly, with an innocent look on her face.
Prince Mingxuan felt a lump in his throat and was extremely angry.
However, in order to successfully marry Princess Mingli to Dayan, he didn't bother to argue with Tang Bao.
The slight good impression I had for Tang Bao because of that bottle of ointment was gone.
Tang Bao didn't care.
Anyway, she was just laying the groundwork so that if one day the Second Prince's wife suddenly became the Crown Prince Mingxuan, there would be a reason.
After all, he proposed to me in person, didn't he?
Although this excuse is far-fetched, it is better than nothing.
"Your Majesty, my elder sister is in love with the Second Prince. The Second Prince is moved by my sister and is willing to marry her. I think this is a good match. I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to grant the marriage immediately!" said Prince Mingxuan.
And learned the lesson, and said it clearly.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianxi first looked at the Second Prince with approval.
The second prince felt very disappointed.
For the first time in his life, he was not happy about the emperor's approval.
Emperor Tianxi naturally would not object to such a thing that was agreed upon by all the ministers, and was satisfactory to both parties and a natural outcome.
After all, things have developed to this point, and as the emperor, it is not easy for him to act on his own and oppose this marriage, right?
"In that case, Xuanyuan Ming, Princess Mingli, please come forward to receive your title." Emperor Tianxi said.
Upon hearing this, Princess Mingli walked forward briskly.
The second prince felt as if his steps weighed a thousand pounds.
He hesitated, but had to go forward.
Emperor Tianxi was the second prince's biological father after all. Seeing the second prince's appearance, a trace of guilt appeared in his eyes.
I was thinking in my heart that I should make it up to this son in the future...
Emperor Tianxi said in a clear voice: "My son Xuanyuan Ming has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and Princess Mingli of Western Qin has a cheerful temperament and extraordinary intelligence... They are a match made in heaven. Let us choose a day for our marriage!"
As soon as Emperor Tianxi finished speaking, Princess Mingli immediately expressed her gratitude happily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
The second prince was swallowing his bitter water and looked like he was about to cry.
"Thank you, Father."
Woo woo woo… He wanted to cry.
"Congratulations, Second Prince!" Prime Minister Zheng immediately bowed and said.
"Congratulations, Second Prince..."
"Congratulations……"
Others also congratulated the second prince.
For a moment, it seemed quite lively.
The second prince was full of anger and didn't like anyone!
Emperor Tianxi looked at Xuanyuan Jin with a dark look in his eyes.
It must be said that Emperor Tianxi had not anticipated the development of this matter.
He was also unaware that Xuanyuan Jin was planning to plot against the second prince.
After all, the Second Prince was his son, so he naturally felt sorry for him.
However, in the situation just now, even if he was the emperor, it would be difficult for him to object.
Xuanyuan Jin looked back at Emperor Tianxi with a frank expression.
Emperor Tianxi was so angry at Xuanyuan Jin's self-righteous attitude that his face turned black.
Tang Bao winked at Princess Mingli.
"Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Princess for getting her wish!" Tang Bao said with a smile.
Princess Mingli raised her head and raised her eyebrows at Tang Bao with a look of pride on her face.
It seems to mean, what do you think, is she awesome?
She was the first one to be granted marriage!
Then, he glanced at Prince Mingxuan arrogantly.
Although Prince Mingxuan was very active in promoting this matter, since the two siblings had already fallen out, Princess Mingli did not want to gloss over the situation.
Prince Mingxuan was very satisfied with getting rid of Princess Mingli.
As a result, he didn't pay attention to Princess Mingli's provocation, and said with a fake smile: "Congratulations, my sister!"
I thought to myself: Humph, now that you marry into Dayan, I wonder how you will ever compete with me for the throne?
Princess Mingli also replied with a forced smile.
"Congratulations, brother."
Congratulations on staying in Dayan as the Second Prince's Consort!
Prince Xiao of Northern Qi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, good things come in pairs. Western Qin has already formed an alliance with Dayan. I, Xiao, would like to marry Princess Fude. Please grant your decree to grant this marriage."
As soon as Prince Xiao finished speaking, the pretended lively atmosphere on the scene immediately disappeared.
"Your Majesty, I would like to marry Princess Huaning. Please grant me the marriage!" Prince Mingxuan said hurriedly.
Su Laowu also said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I sincerely ask to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess. Please grant us the marriage!"
Everyone: “…”
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm getting back to the main story?
Emperor Tianxi felt a pain in his head.
One problem solved, three more to go.
Even the emperor had not expected that Su Laowu would suddenly ask to marry Princess Huaning, and that Prince Xiao would set his sights on Tang Bao.
For a moment, Emperor Tianxi was hesitant, thinking about the pros and cons.
The emperor was silent and his expression was unpredictable. His ministers also did not speak. The atmosphere was indescribably weird.
Bai Shuqing stood beside the second wife of the Bai family, secretly glanced at Prince Xiao, bit her lip, and unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes with her fingers.
Then, he moved his feet and took a step forward.
At this moment, a voice of greeting was heard.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
Following the sound, Princess Huaning supported the Empress Dowager and walked slowly over.
The Empress Dowager was dressed in a phoenix robe and wore a golden-winged phoenix crown on her head. She was graceful and elegant, and exuded the majesty of the royal family.
By the way, except for the time when she brought Xuanyuan Jin back to the palace, the Empress Dowager rarely dressed so grandly.
His arrival at this moment immediately made people look solemn.
Bai Shuqing took the step forward and then retracted it.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen Mother, may Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
All the civil and military officials bowed to the Empress Dowager together.
A palace maid had already brought a carved chair made of golden nanmu wood and placed it next to the emperor.
Emperor Tianxi reached out to help the Empress Dowager sit down.
