When the Ninth Prince heard that Liu Sheng wanted to force Xia Xuejian on him, he quickly came out and said, "Father, I just took a concubine yesterday. If I marry a wife right away, wouldn't people laugh at me and say that I am a heartless man?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng and King Xiang both raised their eyebrows silently, as if you are not the same.
Seeing that they both looked like they were enjoying a good show, the Ninth Prince said, "Father, I think that my eldest brother is brave and good at fighting, and is a better match for the Prairie Princess."
King Xiang:?
Are you okay, brother? Liu Sheng cheated you, and you cheated me?
"Father, I am stationed in the southern border for many years. If I marry the princess, wouldn't it be a waste of time?" The King of Xiang is not a pushover. You can marry her just because I want you to? Who do you think I am?!
This sentence is a double entendre. On the one hand, it means that the princess has been delayed. On the other hand, it tells the emperor and his ministers that he has a large army and if he is given a prairie princess, he will be able to rebel.
When the emperor heard this, he immediately said, "Yes, yes, my eldest son is right." "What the eldest son said is right. We can't wrong the princess of the grassland."
The Ninth Prince was choked and turned his gaze to the other princes. The other princes immediately looked up at the sky. Somehow, the roof looked particularly beautiful today.
No matter if she was favored or not, no matter if she was powerful or not, no one was willing to marry a prairie princess as his principal wife. After all, there was no precedent for a foreigner to be the queen in all dynasties, let alone a prairie person.
Marrying a prairie princess would be tantamount to announcing that they were kicked off the list of heirs to the throne.
In the end, it was the Tenth Master who asked to marry the prairie princess, firstly to help his Ninth Brother out of trouble, and secondly, if he married a prairie person, he would have strong backing and could help his Ninth Brother fight against the King of Xiang who held a large army.
The emperor did not expect that the usually silent Old Tenth would be so useful at a critical moment, so he smiled and asked him to stand up: "Since Old Tenth is willing, then this matter is settled."
After saying that, he looked at Liu Sheng again and said, "My dear Liu, please go and talk to the Princess of the Grassland and the Great Khan about this matter."
Liu Sheng glanced at the relieved and very proud Ninth Prince, and said with a smile: "I obey your order."
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Tao walked in and said that Tuoba Xiong and Xia Xuejian wanted to see him.
Upon hearing that they were entering the palace in person, the Ninth Prince frowned and looked at Liu Sheng instinctively. Liu Sheng smiled faintly and said nothing.
After a while, Tuoba Xiong and Xia Xuejian came in. Tuoba Xiong explained his thoughts: "Ana and Sister Xuejian have been separated for many years. I feel guilty and love her deeply. Now Sister Xuejian only has the Ninth Prince in her heart and will never marry anyone else. Please Emperor Dayu to make it happen."
The Great Khan of the Grassland came to ask for it personally, and the emperor could only agree to it because he couldn't save face. "Since the princess is so affectionate, it would be inhumane to refuse."
"Old Nine..."
"Father, we have just taken in a concubine. If we marry a principal wife right away, it will not only damage the reputation of the Dayu royal family, but will also be unfair to the princess." The Ninth Prince argued vigorously.
Liu Sheng said indifferently, "This is easy. Your Majesty will grant the marriage first, and then hold the ceremony after a year or so. This way, it will not damage the reputation of the Dayu royal family, nor will it wrong the princess, and it will also preserve the princess's affection for the Ninth Prince."
The Ninth Prince glared at him, wishing he could eat him alive.
He is determined to go against me, right?
"Lord Liu is absolutely right. I will leave this matter to you, Lord Liu."
The emperor was very satisfied. I thought I was right in my judgment. It was easy to use the people who had been trained since childhood.
Liu Sheng received the order.
A group of princes breathed a sigh of relief silently.
The Ninth Prince returned home from court in a huff, and as soon as he came in he went to look for Ye Qingwan, who was still in the yard, eating peanuts and watching Qingqing dance with swords.
After the dance, he finished it handsomely and asked her proudly, "How was it? Am I good?"
"Awesome." Ye Qingwan said perfunctorily.
After hearing this, his tail almost went up to the sky, like a proud little princess: "How about comparing with Xingmu?"
Ye Qingwan glanced at him indifferently. Why didn’t he just do something good and instead humiliate himself?
Section 157
Do you understand what it means to take a detour when seeing injustice? The world is dangerous, so you should retreat?
But she still said tactfully: "It's about the same. Xingmu can knock down five people with one sword, and you can knock down five ants with this sword."
Ning Shaoqing: ...
What a pretty little girl, she just opened her mouth...
The two of them were arguing so much that they didn't notice the Ninth Prince coming in. They had a dark face and said, "You guys are so happy."
Ning Shaoqing: ...
Ye Qingwan: ...
After being stunned for three seconds, Ye Qingwan quickly dropped the peanuts in her hand and ran over with a smile: "Brother Mu Yun, you're back?"
"You are already my concubine. From now on, I will call you husband."
Ye Qingwan: ...
Ning Shaoqing: ...
Ning Shaoqing clenched the sword in his hand, "Husband?! It depends on whether I cut you or not.
Ye Qingwan quickly held him down and said, "No, no, no, let's talk it out. We, the supporting characters, don't hold grudges against the protagonist."
"You can leave now." The Ninth Prince didn't care about Ning Shaoqing's anger at all. He directly ordered them to leave and then pulled Ye Qingwan back to the room.
Ning Shaoqing's teeth were chattering, and he was about to chop him to death with a gloomy face. Ye Qingwan was pulled forward, and she couldn't help but turn back and shake her head at Ning Shaoqing, and mouthed to Qingqing to tell him not to get angry with Nangong Muyun, as he had a problem with his brain.
As soon as they entered the room, the Ninth Prince held her in his arms and let her sit on his lap.
Ye Qingwan: ...
Daytime sex, isn't that a good idea?!
Be careful of kidney deficiency!
Fortunately, he just hugged her and didn't make any other movements. He just said in a low voice: "My father has issued an order for me to marry Xia Xuejian."
"Great..." Ye Qingwan's eyes lit up. Isn't the main plot coming?
It was not until the Ninth Prince stared at her sadly that she realized that she was too happy and accidentally said what was in her heart. She quickly made amends: "Brother Mu Yun, it's okay. Wan Wan is the daughter of a criminal. It is a great blessing for me to be Brother Mu Yun's concubine. Wan Wan dare not ask for anything else."
"Besides, Sister Xuejian is so kind and virtuous, she will definitely be able to tolerate Wanwan."
The Ninth Prince sighed helplessly: "When will you treat me like you treat Liu Sheng?"
Ye Qingwan: ...
We are talking about Xia Xuejian, why are you mentioning the old tutor again?
You talk about the old tutor every other sentence. If someone doesn't know, they would think you are having an affair with him.
Fortunately, the Ninth Prince did not continue the topic. He just smiled and put his forehead against hers: "No matter who I marry as my principal wife, you are the only one in my heart."
Ye Qingwan just laughed and said, you are kidding me!
How many women have you said this to? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? I'm Niu Hulu Ye Qingwan now.
But she still pretended to be very touched and said, "As long as the prince has Wanwan in his heart, Wanwan doesn't care about anything else."
What is it like to almost vomit because of yourself?
