Chapter 151 Marriage Alliance
The drug Qin Jinzhi gave Huangfu Nanfeng should have worn off by the time he was carried in.
Huangfu Nanfeng had been awake since the moment he entered the palace.
He truly never expected Qin Jinzhi to humiliate him in such a way.
Huangfu Nanfeng chuckled and removed the red cloth from his eyes.
Her eyes sparkled, captivating all who beheld her; she truly possessed a beautiful appearance.
Even while wearing the dancer's costume, there was not a trace of shame or anger on her face.
"Ninth Brother!"
Huangfu Dai and Huangfu Nanying were anxious to step forward.
Huangfu Nanfeng smiled slightly, "I'm fine. Why didn't you tell me earlier that Jinzhi likes this? If I had known, I would have worn it long ago to please you."
The expressions of everyone in the hall changed. What did this mean?
Is the princess having an affair with Huangfu Nanfeng?
Huangfu Nanying trembled with rage, and he said through gritted teeth, "Release my Ninth Brother now!"
Qin Jinzhi ignored him and turned back to her seat.
She sat down and said as if watching a good show, "The key is on Huangfu Nanfeng. Whether he comes out or not is up to him."
Only then did everyone notice that each of Huangfu Nanfeng's jingling ornaments had a key attached to it.
Moreover, Huangfu Nanfeng must stand up in order to obtain all the keys.
This outfit would be more interesting if you stood up.
Huangfu Dai said to the envoy behind her, "Why don't you go find a cloak!"
Huangfu Nanying glared at the leisurely Qin Jinzhi and said fiercely, "This is outrageous!"
The Chu delegation rushed over to stop Huangfu Nanfeng's bleeding.
On the other hand, Huangfu Nanfeng didn't seem to care much.
"Get out of my way, you're blocking my view. I can't see my Golden Branch."
The emperor's face immediately darkened. "Ninth Prince, watch your words! My granddaughter is of marriageable age. Do not speak nonsense that will damage her reputation!"
The Chu delegation's eyes widened. "Now you've finally spoken."
You were like a block of wood when Qin Jinzhi was humiliating people!
Huangfu Nanfeng stretched his limbs and then stood up.
Huangfu Dai shouted, "Ninth Brother! Your foot!"
Qin Jinzhi answered enthusiastically, "He tried to escape, so I severed one of his Achilles tendons."
The emperor raised an eyebrow. Hmm, it seems he wasn't fooled by this ugly face.
The Chu delegation glared at Qin Jinzhi, wondering how a woman could be so vicious!
She even had a bright smile on her face when she said this.
Huangfu Nanfeng said once again, "Scatter!"
Huangfu Nanfeng slowly began searching for the key on his person.
This movement made the Chu people's faces darken even more.
The sleeves and hem of the skirt were not sewn together, so the arms and legs would be exposed when the wearer moved.
Huangfu Nanfeng then inserted one key after another into the lock.
Before his father found him, he had endured all sorts of strange looks.
Disgusting, lewd, greedy.
How could his daughter be so naive, thinking that this would humiliate him?
Huangfu Dai was so angry that she burst into tears. Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow at her and asked, "Why are you crying? Did someone in your family die?"
"Don't stop me, I'm going to fight her."
An eerie silence filled the main hall.
Everyone just watched this farce unfold.
Many people were puzzled by Qin Jinzhi's actions, but some people just smiled.
This ninth prince was highly respected in the army.
Now that he's dressed like a court jester, who will fear him in battle? This humiliation will damage his reputation when it reaches the State of Chu.
What good is a genius if he can't win people's hearts?
Their gazes toward Qin Jinzhi were also filled with deeper meaning.
Was it just a child's mischief, or was it intentional?
This is something worth investigating further.
With the last key falling to the ground, none of the keys could unlock the cage.
Huangfu Nanying asked, "Are you playing us?"
Qin Jinzhi seemed to suddenly remember something, "I forgot, that lock was just for decoration and couldn't be opened at all. He could just push the door open; it wasn't locked."
Even Huangfu Nanfeng, who had been calm and collected just moments before, darkened his expression.
I watched as he pushed open the cage door and came out.
Qin Jinzhi laughed loudly, then staggered to one side, clutching her stomach.
It's like saying, "I'm just messing with you, so what?"
I don't know which official couldn't help but laugh.
The people in the hall burst into laughter one after another.
This little princess is really crazy.
But it really felt so satisfying.
After all this, anyone who still thinks Qin Jinzhi and Huangfu Nanfeng have an affair is out of their mind!
The emperor pretended to scold, "How old are you to still be acting like this? Ninth Prince, please take a seat."
Huangfu Dai brought a cloak and draped it over Huangfu Nanfeng.
The State of Jin has gone too far. Sooner or later, the iron cavalry of the State of Chu will trample the entire State of Jin.
Huangfu Nanfeng looked at Qin Jinzhi, who was eating happily, as if nothing had happened.
"Your Majesty, now that our alliance has been established, why not discuss the matter of a marriage alliance?"
The emperor frowned, then casually asked, "What are your thoughts, Ninth Prince?"
Huangfu Nanfeng looked at Qin Jinzhi like a venomous snake eyeing its prey.
"This prince is willing to offer three more cities in exchange for Princess Jinzhi's hand in marriage."
What!
Everyone in the hall stared at Huangfu Nanfeng as if they had seen a ghost!
Three cities plus the Wind Prison Pass!
Marry a scourge.
Huangfu Dai asked Huangfu Nanying in a low voice, "Has Ninth Brother gone mad?"
Huangfu Nanying, however, kept his eyes fixed on Qin Jinzhi.
Suddenly, he pointed at Qin Jinzhi and said, "You are Qin San!"
Huangfu Dai also turned her head sharply!
Qin San's bland, almost forgettable face simply couldn't match the beautiful face before him.
From the moment Huangfu Nanying saw Qin Jinzhi, he felt that Qin Jinzhi looked somewhat familiar.
However, Qin Jinzhi's appearance was simply too stunning.
He didn't even consider her to be Qin San.
The most important person who captured Huangfu Nanfeng alive was Qin San.
They had considered that Qin San was a spy for the State of Jin, but they never expected that she was actually Qin Jinzhi.
Ninth Brother was tortured and humiliated in her hands, yet she still wanted to marry him.
Back then, Ninth Brother said that if Qin San were to hold a high position, he would surely be granted a title and become a prime minister.
He certainly held a high position, a damn high position in the State of Jin!
Who would have thought that a princess of noble birth would disguise herself and go to the Chu Kingdom's military camp to work as a groom!
She was just like a lowly soldier.
She doesn't have the slightest bit of the pampered demeanor of a princess!
The emperor's face was ashen. "I'm sorry to disappoint the Ninth Prince, Jinzhi is already engaged."
Huangfu Nanfeng said calmly, "A marriage in exchange for three cities, surely Your Majesty can't be unaware of this deal?"
His gaze fell on Qin Jinzhi, who was happily eating.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Qin Jinzhi smiled.
She pointed with her chopsticks to the cage that had not yet been removed.
“Go back to the cage now, and I will cancel the engagement and marry you.”
