Chapter 683 I promise!
As soon as these words were spoken, the meeting hall fell silent.
Everyone looked at Princess Nanfeng in unison.
She just stood there blankly, as if she was frightened.
The emperor looked into her eyes and asked slowly.
"What do you think, Princess?"
Xiao Xixi felt her heart pounding, and the word "yes" almost came out of her mouth.
Fortunately, at the critical moment she remembered the advice of her senior brother.
She is now the princess of Nanyue. When a princess faces such a situation, she will never agree to it without thinking. That would seem too eager and disrespectful.
She told herself silently -
I am now on a diplomatic mission to Dasheng on behalf of the Nanyue Kingdom, and I cannot bring shame to my master's wife.
Xiao Xixi raised her head, looked at the emperor who was high above her, and asked seriously.
"Your Majesty, do you want to form a marriage alliance with Nan Yue?"
The emperor responded calmly.
"Um."
Xiao Xixi: "As long as I agree, Your Majesty will be willing to send troops to aid Nanyue, right?"
Emperor: “Yes.”
Many of the ministers frowned, obviously feeling that the emperor's decision was inappropriate.
But after much hesitation, no one dared to say anything.
Today's emperor is very different from the previous emperor. The previous emperor was very concerned about his reputation and would tolerate some things. But the current emperor is different. He has a very bad temper.
Not long ago, an imperial censor requested to enthrone the empress, but was rejected by the emperor.
That censor was also stubborn. He started to criticize the emperor in front of everyone, saying that the three unfilial acts were not having a son and the worst of them. The emperor was unfilial and a shame to his ancestors because he had no son yet!
If it were the late emperor, he might have endured this for the sake of his reputation.
But the current emperor will not do that.
He demoted the stubborn censor to a commoner on the charge of misbehaving in front of the emperor, and sent him to the border to open up wasteland.
It's bad enough that he was demoted to a commoner, but he also had to open up wasteland?
This is more painful than death for the civil officials who can't carry anything on their shoulders or lift anything with their hands!
Although some people privately said that the emperor's refusal to listen to advice was not a sign of a wise ruler, they only dared to say it in private. On the surface, everyone would only be more respectful of the emperor, for fear of angering the emperor and being sent to open up wasteland.
Xiao Xixi took a deep breath, as if she had made a huge decision, clenched her fists, and spoke word by word.
"I promise!"
"As long as the people of Nanyue can be freed from the scourge of war, I am willing to marry into the Dasheng Palace and maintain friendship between our two countries forever!"
Yue Gang knelt down on one knee and cried.
"Princess, you are so righteous. On behalf of the people of Nanyue, I thank you!"
The other Nanyue envoys also knelt down and thanked the princess in tears.
When the court officials of Dasheng witnessed this scene, some sighed, some frowned, and some seemed to be thinking about something.
The emperor immediately ordered the Hanlin Academy to draft an edict, ordering the governor of Ningze County to send 30,000 troops to assist the Prince of Nanyue in quelling the civil strife.
The Nanyue envoys all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank the emperor for his grace.
The mission was successfully completed, and the huge rock hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground.
Once this matter was settled, the Nanyue delegation had to go back. They were in a hurry to report to the King of Nanyue, so it was inconvenient for them to stay here for long.
As for Princess Nanfeng, she was left in the Dasheng Palace.
The news quickly spread throughout the palace.
Concubine Jing had expected this and was not surprised.
But she still felt irritated.
Over the past year, the emperor has ignored the concubines in the harem.
Since no one is favored, there is no question of who is favored and who is out of favor. Instead, an alternative balance is created.
But now Princess Nanfeng has shown up unexpectedly, and the balance of the harem will soon be broken.
As for what will happen after it is broken, no one knows.
Concubine Jing said with a sullen face: "Go and find out which palace Princess Nanfeng lives in?"
The chief palace maid Dong Ling responded, "Yes."
In the Misty Palace.
When Concubine Bai learned that Princess Nanfeng had been taken into the emperor's harem, she was so angry that she fell ill.
She didn't care about the balance in the harem, but she cared about the fact that the emperor specifically asked for Princess Nanfeng.
In front of so many people, the emperor specifically asked Princess Nanfeng to marry him.
This is enough to show how much the emperor values Princess Nanfeng.
It was this kind of attention that made Bai Fei extremely jealous.
…
Eunuch Chang asked the emperor which palace he wanted to place Princess Nanfeng in?
Luo Qinghan was reviewing memorials and said without even raising his head when he heard this.
"Let her live in Weiyang Palace first."
"Yes."
Luo Qinghan thought for a moment and said, "Ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some food for her."
"Yes."
So Xiao Xixi was sent to Weiyang Palace.
Mo Hua asked respectfully, "Do you think this room is okay? If you are not satisfied, you can go to another room."
Xiao Xixi is not very particular about where she lives.
She thought this place was pretty good, so she nodded modestly: "Well, let's go here."
Mo Hua asked the palace maid to put the luggage away and said.
"Do you have any other instructions?"
Xiao Xixi: "No more, all of you can leave."
"Yes."
After everyone left, Xiao Xixi sat down on the couch and sighed, saying, "It's so hard to be a princess!"
It’s more comfortable to be a salted fish!
She kicked off her shoes and rolled onto the couch.
Finally I can lie down.
After a while, the sound of Mo Hua was heard outside the door.
"Princess, the royal kitchen has made some cakes. Would you like to try some?"
Xiao Xixi sat up quickly.
There is delicious food!
She jumped to the ground and ran towards the door. After running two steps, she realized that she was not wearing shoes.
She quickly ran back, picked up her shoes, put them on, and ran to open the door.
Mo Hua was standing outside the door, holding a tray with two plates of pastries on it.
Behind her were two little palace maids, each holding food in their hands, including fresh fruits and cool milk tea.
Xiao Xixi's inner world at this moment has been flooded with messages like crazy.
There is milk tea! !
And it’s a super large cup of milk tea!!
She hasn't had milk tea for a long time!
She almost used all her strength to resist pounce on him, barely maintaining her dignity as a princess.
Xiao Xixi turned sideways and let the palace maids enter the room.
Mo Hua placed the cakes on the table and said respectfully.
"Princess, I don't know if you are used to the food here, so I asked the imperial kitchen to make more. Which one do you like?"
Xiao Xixi: Which one do you like? Of course I like them all!!
She smiled. “Thank you. These look good.”
Mo Hua: "Please enjoy your meal. I will take my leave now."
She bowed and retreated with the two palace maids.
As soon as the others left, Xiao Xixi couldn't wait to pick up the cup, bit the bamboo straw, and gulped down a big sip of milk tea.
It tastes so good!
How can it taste so good?
Just for this milk tea, she can live in this palace forever!
Xiao Xixi picked up a piece of mung bean cake and took a bite. It was fragrant and sweet, and melted in the mouth. It was delicious!
At this moment, she just wanted to turn into a groundhog and scream like crazy. This is so delicious!!!
