Chapter 314: Your Majesty, Don’t Bother with the Marriage
Seeing his expression, Emperor Ming felt for his loss of both his wife and his son, so he suppressed his anger and showed a rare fatherly kindness on his face. "The Princess of Qi and the Crown Prince know that you are so loyal and righteous, and they certainly don't want you to indulge in grief."
There was kindness in Emperor Ming's words, but the look he gave him was unquestionable.
Whether he likes it or not, he has to accept this arranged marriage.
Beigong Xian knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter. After a moment, he accepted the order and thanked the emperor, "Thank you, father, for your grace."
Emperor Ming then nodded with satisfaction and looked at Prince of Wei Beigong Sheng.
He turned the ring on his hand, feeling a little thoughtful.
This son was held hostage in Dayan for ten years. Although spies reported to him about the situation during these ten years, he did not know much about this son.
Looking at Beigong Sheng's current appearance, one can still vaguely recall the time when he was thirteen years old and cried and refused to leave Beiliang.
Ten years of being a hostage is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in a person, not to mention that he now has the princess of Nanxun.
Judging from the fact that he presented the picture of hand guns at the Wanshou Festival, the King of Wei might have had other thoughts in mind.
Even if the King of Wei had any idea at this time, as long as he was still alive, he would not give the King of Wei a chance.
Emperor Ming's thoughts turned around and suddenly fell on Princess Nanxun who was sitting below him.
This Princess Nanxun is quite favored by the Queen of Nanxun and is the candidate for the next Queen. Now she has traveled thousands of miles to Beiliang with the King of Wei and even claimed to be the future Queen of Wei. If Beiliang can marry Nanxun, it will be an extra layer of protection.
When Princess Nanxun returns to Nanxun to inherit the throne, I am afraid that King Wei will have to leave with her.
Emperor Ming's plan came to fruition in a flash, and he said, "The King of Wei has been in Great Yan for ten years, and I am sorry for wronging you."
Beigong Sheng stood up, full of respect, "For Beiliang, I will not be wronged."
Emperor Ming looked indifferent, "Before, Beiliang was weak, and I had no choice but to send you to Dayan as a hostage. In the past ten years, I have often felt guilty about you, and I have wanted to take you back many times. Unfortunately, the two countries have an alliance, and I, as the ruler of a country, cannot break the agreement. Do you blame me?"
Beigong Sheng knelt down to express his loyalty, "Father, your words are really embarrassing. As a minister, I am honored to share your worries. How can I have any resentment? Not to mention being a hostage, if I can exchange my life for the safety of Beiliang, I will not hesitate."
"I know you are a good kid."
Emperor Ming nodded, his expression becoming more relaxed. He glanced at Princess Nanxun and said casually, "I heard that Princess Nanxun took good care of you. King Wei was lucky to have the help of the princess. I would like to thank the princess here."
Princess Nanxun, who was called, stood up.
Lin Miaoyin now had an excuse to look at her openly. Looking at this face, she felt mixed emotions.
No matter how you look at it, she looks exactly like Fanfan, even her temperament is the same. At first glance, she looks exactly like Fanfan.
Princess Nanxun has a rather childish face and looks as harmless as a rabbit at first glance, but her temperament is rather cold and hard, and her every move is graceful.
She performed Nanxun's etiquette to Emperor Ming, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty's words are serious. We are both hostages in Dayan. If it weren't for the King of Wei, Nanxun would not be able to move forward. The King of Wei is smart and kind, and Nanxun and the King of Wei also support each other."
Emperor Ming glanced at the two of them and asked, "Princess, have you come to Beiliang? Has the King of Wei failed to entertain you well enough?"
"The King of Wei treats me very well."
Princess Nanxun responded gracefully, "Nanxun has been in Beijing for many days, and the King of Wei has taken me to visit various places. Nanxun likes it very much."
Finally, the conversation turned to the main topic. Emperor Ming asked what he was thinking, "In this case, I wonder if the princess would like to stay in Beiliang? If the princess is willing, Beiliang is willing to form a good relationship with Nanxun."
Speaking of marriage, Princess Nanxun's face was a little shy. She raised her eyes to look at Beigong Sheng, her cheeks slightly red, "Nanxun thinks that the King of Wei is...very good."
Emperor Ming looked at Princess Nanxun's reaction and became more confident. He looked at Beigong Sheng and said, "Prince Wei, are you willing to have a good story with the princess?"
Beigong Sheng looked at Princess Nanxun with deep eyes, as if he was thinking, but in the blink of an eye, he smiled and said with joy: "I am overjoyed to be favored by the princess, and of course I am willing."
"good!"
Having achieved his goal, Emperor Ming praised and said, "Such a great happy event, tomorrow I will send an envoy to Nanxun to discuss the marriage between the two countries with the Queen of Nanxun."
"Princess Nanxun's marriage does not need the Emperor of Beiliang to worry about."
A resounding voice came from outside the hall, instantly breaking the harmony inside the hall.
Emperor Ming lost his lenient demeanor, and with a sullen face, he looked at the people standing outside the palace with sinister eyes.
The emperor's majesty emanated, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly became oppressive.
Everyone even breathed lightly, not daring to act rashly. They could only secretly glance outside the hall to see who was so ignorant of his own life that he dared to refute the emperor in public.
The eunuch at the door was also terrified, and after taking a few breaths he sang loudly, "The Prince Regent of Nanxun has arrived!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked outside the hall with a look of disbelief on their faces.
who?
Nanxun Regent Prince You Yungui has arrived in Beiliang?
When did this happen?
Although Nanxun was ruled by an empress, the regent should not be underestimated as he controlled half of Nanxun's government.
You Yungui is of humble origin, but he is ambitious, ruthless, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
He first gained fame on the battlefield, and after establishing his reputation in the army, he personally built an iron-blooded army that only obeyed his orders.
This team has never been defeated, and its fighting power is so terrifying that no one dares to offend it lightly.
After returning to the imperial capital of Nanxun, he plunged into the struggle for power again. He relied on the power in his hands to eliminate dissidents and killed or exiled court officials who did not obey him. In serious cases, he killed people for three days and three nights. The entire imperial capital was a sea of blood. It was not an exaggeration to call him the God of Killing.
Queen Nanxun had no way to deal with him and could only turn a blind eye and share some of the government affairs with him.
Why did You Yungui suddenly come to Beiliang?
Do you want to take action against Beiliang?
The court officials began to feel uneasy. Now that Prince Ning was in poor health, they had no one in Beiliang who could be his enemy.
Lin Miaoyin listened to everyone's murmurs and looked outside the hall.
The man was about twenty-five years old, very tall, and wearing a black cloak. He had a stern face, sharp eyes, and unmelted ice and snow between his brows, which added a sense of coldness and unattainability.
His whole body was filled with intimidating aura, and his powerful aura made the eunuchs around him tremble. The guards turned pale and clenched their swords.
This is the regent who stirs up the situation and makes things happen at will.
Why did the regent come to Beiliang instead of staying in Nanxun, and publicly opposed the marriage between Prince Wei and Princess Nanxun at the Beiliang state banquet, disregarding Emperor Ming's face?
Isn’t he afraid of Emperor Ming’s wrath, which would prevent him from leaving Beiliang?
Lin Miaoyin took a look and then looked away. Nanxun’s affairs had nothing to do with her, so she left it to Emperor Ming to worry about.
Emperor Ming stared at You Yungui, rubbed his fingers, and murderous intent emerged in his eyes.
