Even if Murong Xiao did not marry Qian Yeming, Murong Qingyu still had four daughters to use.
If Murong Xiao marries Xiliang, which has no close relationship with Nanyue, wouldn't Murong Qingyu then have another foreign aid?
"I beg the Emperor of Nanyue to marry the eldest daughter of the Murong Mansion, Murong Xiao, to me. Then, Xiliang will definitely cultivate friendship with Nanyue."
"Father, Queen Mother, I also like Murong Xiao. In this life, I will not marry anyone but Murong Xiao."
As soon as Yelu Boyan finished speaking, Qian Yeming knelt down and asked for permission. His request was like another bomb that exploded in everyone's heart.
You know, although this sickly prince was over twenty years old, no matter how the emperor arranged a marriage for him, he refused on the grounds that he was not feeling well and was not willing to get married for the time being.
Today, he had actually taken the initiative to request permission, and even strongly expressed his desire to marry no one but Murong Xiao. Whether this was more out of admiration or a desire to join forces with the Marshal's Office was unknown.
Qian Yeming's request delighted the Empress and Murong Qingyu most. They had initially feared the Crown Prince would defy the order and refuse the marriage as usual, and had devised various arguments to persuade him. Unexpectedly, Murong Xiao's appearance stirred such excitement in the Crown Prince, who had always been indifferent to women, that he insisted on marrying her.
Although the prince's words had already made it clear that if he could not marry Murong Xiao, the other women in the Murong family would never be able to marry him, as long as he expressed such an intention, the queen and Murong Qingyu would do their best to cater to his taste.
But Emperor De Zheng on the side frowned even more tightly.
This Murong Xiao is simply a disaster. Even the prince who has always been low-key and tolerant is now blatantly rebelling against him when he clearly knows that Murong Xiao does not want Murong Qingyu to marry him.
However, Qian Yeming's words just now also indicated that if Murong Xiao married Yelu Boyang, he would not marry other women in the Murong family. This would not only take care of the prince of another country, but also interrupt the marriage between the Murong family and the prince.
Although this marriage was not what he wanted to see, it at least dispelled his doubts and stopped Murong Qingyu from thinking about it.
"Your Majesty, Ming'er is in poor health and has been alone for so long. I am deeply distressed. I have urged him countless times to marry a wife and take a concubine, but he has refused. Now that he has finally fallen for Xiao'er, I selfishly beg Your Majesty to arrange a marriage between Ming'er and Xiao'er."
"Empress." Yelu Boyan interrupted the queen and said, "Prince Ming is weak and sickly, and he is dressed like this in such hot weather. You asked the emperor to marry Miss Murong to the prince. Isn't this..." Although he didn't finish the rest of the words, everyone knew what was going on.
What it means is: The prince is weak and sickly, and no one knows when he will pass away. How can he marry such a beautiful girl like Murong Xiao to him?
"What did you say? King of Yue, you are so unreasonable!" Yelu Boyan's words infuriated the Queen. For a moment, she even harbored murderous intentions. If the Emperor granted him Murong Xiao in marriage, and the Crown Prince refused to accept other women from the Murong Mansion, she would have no choice but to have him killed before Yelu Boyan left Nanyue.
She and Qingyu had been planning for so many years, and they absolutely could not let a sudden disaster ruin their entire plan.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am speaking the truth and have no intention of belittling or harming Crown Prince Ming!
