The Ninth Prince's sudden request for permission made the excited crowd stop and stare at him intently.

What on earth do you want to do by asking for permission at this time?

The emperor also frowned slightly, obviously unhappy. He had heard about what happened between him and Xia Xuejian a long time ago. Would he come out to cause trouble at this time?

As a prince, how can you be so sentimental?

If it were any other family, it would be fine, but now the person present is a prince of a foreign country, why would he make enemies with a foreign country just for a mere concubine's daughter?

"We can talk about it tomorrow. Didn't you see that Prince Tuoba was trying to confess his love to the girl he liked?"

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince must have something important to say. Why don't we listen to what he has to say first?"

Prince Tuoba found his savior in an instant and spoke quickly.

Here it comes, the classic scene of two men competing for one woman and princes from two countries fighting for the heroine.

Ye Qingwan was watching the show nearby and patted the old tutor: "Master, do you have any peanuts?"

Liu Sheng silently put a handful of peanuts in her palm. At this time, Ning Shaoqing also squeezed over: "Give me some, give me some."

Ye Qingwan didn't even think twice and stuffed a handful into his mouth, just like two spectators who couldn't stop watching a show.

"Do you think they will fight? I have never seen princes from two countries fighting over a woman in my life."

Ning Shaoqing ate peanuts while rubbing his hands in anticipation of the show.

He's not bragging, he can brag about this for a year.

Princes from two countries are fighting over a concubine's daughter. It sounds pretty cool.

Section 106

"Stop making noise. Look." Ye Qingwan stuffed another handful of peanuts into his mouth to block his mouth.

Hundreds of people present held their breath, not daring to breathe, for fear that the princes of the two countries would start fighting in the next second.

They were eager to try and wanted to jump up, wave flags and cheer them on to fight.

Although the emperor didn't want the Ninth Prince to speak, since Tuoba Xiong had said so, he could only suppress his anger and said, "Be careful with your words and pay attention to the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

The Ninth Prince immediately said, "Father, since Prince Tuoba is in love with Miss Xia, why don't you issue an order to marry them? Wouldn't this promote friendship between the two countries?"

Baaaaaa?!

Ye Qingwan's head buzzed. What the fuck? What the fuck are you talking about?

Ye Qingwan pulled Ning Shaoqing aside: "Did I hear you wrong? He said that he wanted the emperor to grant a marriage between Xia Xuejian and Tuoba Xiong? Not to grant a marriage to him?"

Ning Shaoqing was also a little confused, but still nodded.

Damn it! The cowhide I got ran away!

But on second thought, it seems pretty cool and worth bragging about that the princes of the two countries are willing to give way to their beloved women for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Thinking of this, Ning Shaoqing reached out and grabbed a handful of peanuts.

No one present, including Tuoba Xiong, expected that the Ninth Prince would actually say that. Everyone froze, except Liu Sheng, who even wanted to laugh.

"Ninth Prince, what did you say?" Tuoba Xiong seemed not to hear clearly.

The Ninth Prince reiterated, "I say, since Prince Tuoba is deeply in love with Miss Xia, why don't you let your father help you two get married, and our two countries will also be united in marriage."

"Well, my son is right." The emperor immediately struck while the iron was hot and said with a smile on his face.

Tuoba Xiong immediately knelt down on one knee. This etiquette was the highest etiquette on their grassland.

"Please ask Emperor Dayu to withdraw your order. I came to Dayu this time to promote the friendship between the two countries. But I am asking for a Dayu princess on behalf of my father Khan. I dare not go ahead of my father Khan."

Everyone was stunned. Tuoba Xiong was already in his twenties, several years older than the Ninth Prince. His father's hair must have been white. At such an old age, he still wanted to marry Dayu's princess?

Isn't this just a blatant act of the old cow eating the young grass under the banner of friendly relations between the two countries?

That great Khan must have been born from a lotus root, as he has become very cunning.

Ye Qingwan finally understood why Tuoba Xiong was so thick-skinned. It turned out that it was passed down from generation to generation.

I'm sorry!

The emperor was also confused by the sudden change. Before they came, they did not say that they wanted to marry Dayu's princess.

The only unmarried child of mine is the eleventh princess, who has just reached the age of marriage. She is too old for Tuoba Xiong, so why should she marry him to his father, the Khan?

The Ninth Prince thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Prince Tuoba, you don't know that almost all of our Dayu's princesses are married, and only my eleventh sister is left. Now she has already been arranged to be married, and I am afraid that I will disappoint the Great Khan's kindness."

"How about this, let the emperor issue an edict to confer the title of princess on a princess and marry her to the Great Khan?"

Tuoba Xiong knew very well that this was just an excuse. He had inquired clearly before coming here that the eleventh princess had just reached the age of marriage and there was no arranged marriage. But since she was unwilling, he could force her, so he said so.

"Who does Emperor Dayu want to enthrone as princess?"

Before the emperor could speak, the Ninth Prince took the lead and said, "Of course it's Miss Xia. Miss Xia is smart and kind. If she can win the favor of Prince Tuoba, she will surely be liked by the Great Khan."

Tuoba Xiong: ...

Ning Shaoqing: ...

Ye Qingwan: ...

You are such a jerk that you opened the door for me. You are such a jerk.

Ye Qingwan looked around for something handy, and really wanted to take out a frying pan and slam it into the air.

You are so damn poisonous, aren't you?

I asked you to compete for the heroine, not to compete to give the heroine away. Don't let anyone stop me. If I don't beat him into a pig's head today, I will take his surname Nangong.

Ye Qingwan gradually became angry. If Ning Shaoqing hadn't held her tightly, she would have really rushed out and pinned Nangong Muyun to the ground and beat him to death.

Only Liu Sheng burst out laughing. Ye Qingwan stared at him instantly. He immediately stopped laughing and looked up at the sky: "Wow, the moon is so beautiful today, so big and round."

Ye Qingwan: ...

This person is not someone you can get along with. He will take revenge on the spot if he has a grudge.

The emperor thought this was a good idea. First, he didn't have to marry his own daughter. Second, getting Xia Xuejian away would also save her from getting entangled with Nangong Muyun, so he immediately made the decision.

"That's great."

After saying that, he looked at Lord Xia on the side and said, "Xia Qing, what do you think?"

Lord Xia naturally didn't want his daughter to marry an old man in the grassland. But what could he do as he was only a junior official in the Ministry of Rites?

I could only kneel down and accept the order: "I thank your majesty for your grace."

When Xia Xue heard this, she didn't know whether she was sad or shocked, and she fainted.

Everyone hurriedly sent her back to the hunting palace. But the marriage was a done deal, and her dizziness or not could not change anything.

Nangong Muyun lowered his head and smiled secretly where no one could see.

He even turned his head to steal a glance at Ye Qingwan who was furious beside him, with an expression that said "bite me".

Follow the plot?!

Let’s see how you get away.

If you have the guts, kill the Great Khan.

Ye Qingwan's fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.

Nangong Muyun, just wait for me, I will deal with you sooner or later.
