Chapter 337: Marriage
Mo Junxing's words completely set Shen Hechuan on edge.
If he did not accept these beauties, it would mean that he was not on good terms with Da Qi.
Even if he disagrees, the ministers will not disagree.
If someone spreads the news to the ears of the people, it will probably cause them to become agitated and lead to unnecessary trouble.
Chen Hechuan couldn't help but clench his fingers, and his fierce eyes fell on Mo Junxing.
But Mo Junxing smiled, curling his lips and continued, "So, Your Majesty, do you want to accept it or not?"
Chen Hechuan raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then looked at Mo Junxing again.
"Since the monarch has presented such a gift, I wonder what he would like?"
He didn't say whether to take it back or not, but instead drew everyone's attention to Mo Junxing again. He really played a good game.
Mo Junxing chuckled when he heard this.
"Since you want to establish friendly relations between our two countries, we must naturally reciprocate. I have given Your Majesty a few beauties. How about Your Majesty return the favor and give me a beauty as well?"
After Mo Junxing finished speaking, Shen Hechuan immediately chuckled.
"Since it is a beauty, my Dacheng will naturally have no shortage of it. Please wait a moment, my Lord. The beauty will be presented to you immediately."
Mo Junxing chuckled.
"No, what I want is not just any beautiful woman."
"What I want is a marriage alliance."
"Marriage?"
Hearing this, everyone present paused.
Luo Ziqian was the first to get nervous when he heard this.
If the two countries were to marry a princess, it would naturally be the princess who would marry.
The only princess left in Dacheng now is Princess Rongyang.
Luo Ziqian would never let Princess Rongyang marry under any circumstances.
So, he immediately said, "No, there has never been a precedent in Dacheng for a princess to marry a foreign princess."
"right."
Situ Qinghe behind him also echoed.
"My Dacheng nation is strong and powerful, so why do we need a princess's marriage to maintain stability? I think your Daqi wants to fake the marriage, and clearly want to use this opportunity to stir up trouble."
Chen Hechuan also pursed his lips tightly, and a coldness suddenly burst out of his eyes, shooting straight at Mo Junxing.
"I'm sure the monarch has heard our Dacheng's attitude. I advise you to retract this idea and return to your Daqi as soon as possible."
It can be said that Chen Hechuan's words did not show any mercy to Mo Junxing.
If it were before, Mo Junxing would have been angry.
At this moment, Mo Junxing chuckled.
"Oh……"
"Do you really think that after experiencing two rebellions and a drought, your Dacheng is still the same Dacheng as before?"
"Besides, are you sure that our Da Qi is still the same Da Qi as before?"
Mo Junxing curled the corners of his lips, but the words he said made everyone present's heart skip a beat.
"How about we have a fight first to test each other's strength?"
After that, everyone fell silent.
All the ministers were trembling with fear, and their eyes were on Shen Hechuan.
Putting aside the actual strength of each other, just looking at the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to fight.
Therefore, the ministers had very consistent ideas.
That is, we must absolutely not fight.
However, Shen Hechuan had a cold face the whole time and didn't say a word, obviously he was suppressing his anger.
The news of the princess's marriage soon reached the ears of one of the palace maids outside the hall.
Lu'er came here today specifically on the orders of Princess Rongyang to guard here.
He was planning to take Luo Ziqian to find Princess Rongyang after the banquet, but he didn't expect to hear this news.
She was so scared that her mouth opened wide, and without caring about anything, she immediately covered her mouth and ran quickly back to Princess Rongyang's palace.
"Oh no, oh no, Princess."
Princess Rongyang was dressing up at this time.
She hadn't seen Luo Ziqian for a long time.
So, I plan to dress up beautifully today to charm him.
While I was drawing my eyebrows, Lu'er came running back in a hurry.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Is the party over? Where's Brother Ziqian?"
She asked several questions in a row and looked back. After confirming that Luo Ziqian had not come, she sighed in disappointment and continued to put the hairpin on her head.
Lu'er stood there for a long time, took several deep breaths, and then she couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke out.
"Princess, it's bad! His Majesty wants you to marry into the Da Qi Kingdom!"
“Snap—”
The hairpin in Princess Rongyang's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
She looked up in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
"Are you serious?"
Lu'er nodded.
"It's true. I heard it with my own ears."
Princess Rongyang stood up, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Then...what did His Majesty and Brother Ziqian say?"
"They refused immediately, and His Majesty even ordered the monarch of Da Qi to get out of our Dacheng."
"Lord Luo immediately refuted this, saying that Dacheng has never had a precedent for marriages with foreign allies, so he naturally wouldn't allow you, the princess, to marry."
"But...but...the ruler of Great Qi threatened war, saying that if we did not agree to the marriage, he would start a war."
"Princess, you are well aware of our current situation in Dacheng. If we really had to go to war, even if we win, the people will still suffer!"
"so……"
Princess Rongyang lowered her eyes slowly upon hearing this and murmured, "So, I must go and marry, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lu'er knelt in front of Princess Rongyang and began to cry softly.
"Princess, what should I do?"
Princess Rongyang slowly closed her eyes, and tears fell instantly.
"Are you going to marry into Da Qi?"
"Then I will never see my grandmother again, never see His Majesty again, and never see Sister Jingchun again."
"And my brother Ziqian, I... I want to marry him so much..."
After Princess Rongyang finished speaking, she lay down on the table and sobbed.
When she was tired of crying, she slowly stood up.
Seeing this, Lu'er immediately handed her a cup of tea.
"Princess, please have some tea first."
Lu'er cried as long as Princess Rongyang cried, and her voice was now very hoarse.
Princess Rongyang shook her head.
Lu'er's tears fell again in an instant.
"Or, Princess, you can go and ask the Queen Mother for help. She loves you so much, she will definitely not watch you marry into the Great Qi."
But Princess Rongyang shook her head.
"It's no use."
"I am the princess of Dacheng. I have enjoyed the love and care of my people, so I must shoulder my responsibilities as a princess."
"It's just a marriage. If it can save the people of Dacheng from war, then I will go."
She said this and stood up.
"Let's go to the main hall and tell His Majesty my thoughts in person."
