Chapter 263 "No."
Jiang Yingcheng was shocked.
Even though my father didn't finish his words just now, the meaning in his voice clearly showed that he wanted to reject this proposal!
[Is the prince crazy?! ]
The tone was shocking and thought-provoking.
Although the prince may not know Xu Suxue's true identity, his father, the emperor, truly trains him as the crown prince. How could he not know Zhu Jinguo's plans? !
Even Kan Nianzhen couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to hear that?"
Jiang Tinghuai's eyes remained firm, not wavering at all by the reactions of the people around him.
He thought very clearly.
The spies hiding in the dark are spies of the enemy country.
But the spy revealed to the public is the perfect chess piece for them to infiltrate the enemy country!
"My Da Rui and Zhu Jin are closely connected. If we can develop a closer relationship because of this, it would be a great thing." Jiang Tinghuai stood up and walked to the front of Emperor Mingze, saying with his head held high.
Jiang Yanchuan understood all of Jiang Tinghuai's considerations. He raised his eyes and stared at his eldest son, who made him feel mixed emotions of joy and worry, for a long while.
Jiang Tinghuai is gentle, dignified, and humble, which is nothing like him.
Such a crown prince is suitable to be born in a peaceful and prosperous era, but he happened to be born in this chaotic and turbulent era. That is why he has never stopped Jiang Huaian's little actions that are not worthy of being shown in public.
Jiang Tinghuai should understand that appropriate ruthlessness is the way to survive in the long run.
He was very pleased that Jiang Tinghuai could make such a determination, but——
"No."
Jiang Yanchuan turned around and said to the King of Zhu Jin, "The Queen and I have already chosen the Crown Princess. We will hold the ceremony when the two of them are of the right age. I don't want to consider this matter any further before the Crown Princess marries into the East Palace."
Jiang Tinghuai and Kan Nianzhen were both stunned for a moment.
The King of Zhujin State, who was not far away, was unable to control his expression for a moment, and the look of surprise remained on his face for several breaths.
"In that case, I am being rude."
He walked back to his seat unwillingly, secretly cursing the Eleventh Princess for ruining his plan.
If Xu Suxue could successfully dampen Jiang Yuexi's rage, the Crown Prince and the Queen would probably be more satisfied with her.
By then, coupled with the fact that Zhu Jin's national strength is slightly higher than that of the countries present here, the chances of success will be a little higher!
On the other hand, Jiang Yingcheng started a new round of flattery.
【Ohhhh! Long live the emperor!!! Long live the beautiful father!!!】
Although I don’t know why her beautiful father made a decision different from what was in the data, but long live! !
Her handsome father is the one who fell from the sky!!
[That's right. A person with a treacherous heart like Xu Suxue is not worthy of marrying my prince brother, not even as a concubine! ]
Jiang Yanchuan lowered his eyes, stroked the patterns on the glass cup, and slowly raised the corners of his lips.
When he was young, he took many concubines with whom he had no feelings for because of various interests. He was well aware of the frustration and powerlessness involved, so he naturally did not want his offspring to share a bed with a woman with ulterior motives, so he was on guard every day.
[But... who did the emperor choose as the crown princess for my brother the crown prince? Why doesn't this information mention the emperor and the empress's aunt's plans? ! ]
[Forget it~]
[Let's just check who the Crown Prince's future Crown Princess will be! ]
The moment his thoughts fell, the data on the translucent panel in front of him changed to new content. Jiang Yingcheng slyly grabbed a cookie from the table and ate it while happily enjoying the melon-eating.
All the civil and military officials in the court looked at the innocent little boy with sympathy.
Silly child, of course you can’t find it because His Majesty never had this plan in the first place!
It's obvious that this is a lie used to evade the King of Zhu Jin State!
Didn’t you see that even the Empress’ face flashed with shock? !
However...
Everyone rubbed their hands excitedly.
They really want to know such important information as the future selection of the Crown Princess!
The Crown Princess' name was easy to find, and Jiang Yingcheng found the information he wanted in no time, and then -
My eyes lit up immediately!
[It’s actually Sister Zhixi! 】
When she went to Grandpa Tan's house to play before, she thought Sister Zhixi was very beautiful. At that time, she also thought that it would be great if she could see such a beautiful sister every day. Unexpectedly, what she said casually at that time would come true one day!
Jiang Yingcheng was so happy that she was almost bubbling with happiness!
A group of clear eyes looked towards the right prime minister Tan Wenhan.
Although the young man did not mention the name, they had guessed that the candidate for the Crown Princess would be chosen from several famous families, and they had already found out the information of the girls of appropriate age in each family.
——The name Tan Zhigui was at the top of their list at that time!
Duke Wang was sitting next to Tan Wenhan. Hearing this, he raised the glass cup in his hand and sincerely congratulated him, "Congratulations."
Tan Wenhan could not hide his excitement, and hurriedly picked up his cup and drank with him.
This is truly an excellent marriage.
Putting aside Jiang Tinghuai's status as the crown prince, his character alone is enough to make marriage proposals from various families break down his door.
The prince is knowledgeable, kind, and humble. All the beautiful girls in the capital want to marry him.
[Eh? Sister Zhixi doesn’t want to marry my brother the Crown Prince? ! ! ]
"puff--"
Before Lord Wang and Tan Wenhan could catch their breath, they both turned into spray bottles and sprayed out the liquor in their mouths!
“Ahem…”
“Cough cough cough cough!!”
A group of people who could hear the young man's inner thoughts also started coughing violently.
There actually is a silly girl who doesn't want to marry the prince!
The gaze that was directed at Tan Youxiang suddenly withdrew, and then all glanced in the direction of the young man.
Jiang Yingcheng was also shocked by the news and didn't notice the strange looks from his uncles at all.
【Wow!!】
[Sister Zhixi has already found someone so early! ]
[She almost eloped for the person she loved, but in the end, she reluctantly married into the East Palace for the sake of the Tan family! ]
[Wuwuwu, Sister Zhixi is so pitiful——]
Civil and military officials: "!!!"
If I remember correctly, this precious granddaughter of the Tan family is only about eleven years old now, far from the age of marriage, and she already has someone in her heart?!
Veins popped out on Tan Wenhan's forehead and his breathing became rapid.
His eyes were like an eagle, scanning the bodies of his colleagues in the hall.
Who is it?
Which bastard kidnapped my precious granddaughter?
Zhixi usually behaves like a lady from a noble family. She seldom goes out. Even when she does go out, she is always followed by servants, so she hardly comes into contact with strange young men.
He would only get to know the children of his colleagues when he held banquets in his house.
The person that "my heart belongs to" can only be among the descendants of this group of people!
Fortunately, the little guy seems to be curious about this question as well——
[Let Cheng Cheng see which boy is so charming that he can win the heart of my young sister in one move! ]
The ministers couldn't help but slow down their breathing as well.
【Wow!!】
[It turned out to be the eldest grandson of Grandpa Wang, Wang Bingxu! ! ]
“?!!”
Duke Wang's face was frozen with a beaming expression from eating melons. His body was stiff and he looked somewhat comically unnatural.
In the residual light, Tan Wenhan slowly turned around and looked at himself with gritted teeth.
"Oh."
Duke Wang shuddered violently.
