Chapter 169

"The Emperor is here—"

Accompanied by the eunuch's sharp voice, Emperor Qi Zhaodi made his final appearance. The originally soothing music suddenly turned into a grand and solemn tune.

Then there was the sound of long live mountains, and the rustling sound of clothes rubbing when everyone saluted.

"Flat body!"

Emperor Qi Zhaodi was full of smiles, sitting on the dragon chair and looking down at the bottom, then placed his kind gaze on Ling Zhen and his sister, and it was a greeting.

What, how is your Father Emperor now? When we talked by candlelight during the meeting in the past, how compatible we were, etc.

As a prince of the Feng Kingdom, Ling Zhen's answer was naturally very decent.

What, Father Emperor has always missed the Qi Emperor, often recalling the meeting ten years ago, etc.

Obviously, when they met, the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Feng brought enough troops to prevent each other from stealing, but they had to pretend to be friends of life and death.

Lin Qingyue felt hypocritical watching it, thinking it was still happy when she was emperor, killing when she was happy, and killing when she was unhappy, who dared to play that virtual set with her?

It's better to eat. The food at the palace banquet can be seen to be very careful, one is more beautiful than the other. Unfortunately, it was cold when it reached the mouth, and only three points were left for deliciousness.

Lin Qingyue couldn't help but want to cry for the imperial chef in the palace.

Just when Lin Qingyue was immersed in food, she heard Ling Zhen say to Emperor Qi Zhaodi: "Your Majesty, the Feng Kingdom intends to marry the Qi Guo, I don't know if the Crown Prince has a marriage contract?"

Lin Qingyue's chopsticks paused, turned to Dongfang Qi and said: "Are you not going to send you to marry?"

Dongfang Qi was shocked, just about to speak.

Emperor Qi Zhaodi's words came out first: "The Crown Prince does not have a marriage contract yet, I don't know which princess the Feng Kingdom is going to marry?"

Ling Zhen looked at his sister Ling Xue: "My country's Sixth Princess Ling Xue has always admired the Crown Prince, and our Feng Kingdom also hopes to form a hundred-year friendship with the Qi Guo."

Ling Xue looked at Dongfang Qi with shyness and expectation.

Lin Qingyue chewed and swallowed the food in her mouth, wanting to see Dongfang Qi's reaction, but found that he was in a light and breezy look at this moment.

Could he also be willing to marry?

Princess Ling Xue is beautiful, and although her personality is too lively, marrying her will have the absolute support of the Feng Kingdom, and even if there are noble families and vassal kings in the future, there will be absolute advantages.

As a ruler, this is definitely a benefit.

But I don't know why, Lin Qingyue felt a bit of displeasure in her heart.

Maybe it's because she really treats Dongfang Qi as a friend and doesn't want his marriage to be linked to interests.

Or, is it for other reasons?

Dongfang Qi saw Lin Qingyue change from a lazy look of not caring about anything at the beginning to a dignified expression.

—Does she not want me to marry Princess Ling Xue?

As the Crown Prince, Dongfang Qi's marriage is like a delicious piece of fat, everyone wants to take a bite. Over the years, he has also had his own set of coping methods.

"Prince Ling Zhen." Dongfang Qi stood up, and when he bowed, his posture was elegant.

"It's a coincidence, two days ago the Chu Guo also sent a letter saying that their country also has a princess of appropriate age and intends to marry."

"Although Princess Ling Xue is talented and beautiful, if I marry her, it will be difficult to explain to the Chu Guo. They will definitely think that the Qi Guo despises the Chu Guo in order to marry the Feng Kingdom."

"If they suspect that our two countries are deliberately squeezing out the Chu Guo by marriage, it will be even more troublesome."

"Alas!"

He sighed, looking very helpless: "I really don't want the Chu Guo to hate the Feng Kingdom, thinking about state affairs. This marriage..."

"If Brother Qi is embarrassed, then why not marry both princesses!" Ling Xue didn't open her mouth, and it was amazing.

The girl's face was red, but the words she said were very bold: "Men can have three wives and four concubines, and Brother Qi is a crown prince of a country. Marrying two princesses at once is nothing, I am willing to share the autumn colors with the Chu princess!"

Dongfang Qi didn't expect Ling Xue to say such things, and was speechless for a while.

The Chu princess was originally fabricated to push off the marriage. However, the Chu Guo does have a princess of appropriate age.

Dongfang Qi didn't want to marry two wives at the same time.

But the words have already been spoken, and Princess Ling Xue is in this posture, making him a little difficult to ride a tiger.

He gave a look to Emperor Qi Zhaodi on the dragon seat, but Emperor Qi Zhaodi deliberately ignored it.

In his view, his son is the one who marries, and if he can marry, it is naturally the best, better than marrying a woman who has been divorced.

Especially Princess Ling Xue is affectionate, and it is easier to cultivate feelings.

"Brother Qi, why don't you speak?" Ling Xue looked at him, seven points of admiration, three points of grievance, "For the sake of marriage, for the sake of the friendship between the two countries, I am willing to marry you with the Chu princess."

Not far away, Dongfang Yan's lips hooked secretly.

At this moment, the dilemma Dongfang Qi is facing is naturally Dongfang Yan's credit.

He approached Princess Ling Xue at first, wanting to win her favor.

After his divorce, he had no princess. If he could marry the Feng Kingdom's princess as his princess, he could get the support of the Feng Kingdom, and even if he had no hope of ascending the throne, he could dominate one side.

Unfortunately, Princess Ling Xue clearly stated that the object she admired was Dongfang Qi, and the purpose of this visit was to marry the Crown Prince.

Dongfang Yan was disappointed and asked Ling Xue: "If the Crown Prince has a sweetheart, what should you do?"

Ling Xue said arrogantly: "As long as you are not officially married, it doesn't count! So who is Brother Qi's sweetheart?"

Dongfang Yan smiled and turned to look at Lin Qingyue: "It's that one, the first female prince in the history of our Qi Guo. Why was she sealed as a prince, do you know? It was all promoted by the Crown Prince, which shows that her status in the Crown Prince's heart is extraordinary."

Ling Xue also fell on Lin Qingyue: "So it's her, no wonder I saw them together just now. The night banquet is so close again. I want to ask the Crown Prince, which point is that woman better than me!"

Dongfang Yan stopped her and said: "Princess, being so impulsive will only make the Crown Prince annoyed. As a man, he likes women to be obsessed with him and dedicate everything to him, but he doesn't like them to fight for favor."

"Since the Princess admires the Crown Prince, why not show love bravely."

He also calculated that Dongfang Qi would not accept it. He even thought of the reason for his refusal and taught Ling Xue Princess how to deal with it.

In this way, Dongfang Qi was successfully made difficult to ride a tiger.

If Dongfang Qi agreed to the marriage, it would be equivalent to pushing Lin Qingyue away from his side.

After all, a woman who doesn't even care about the position of Princess, how can she be willing to be a concubine?

Sure enough, Lin Qingyue's expression was no longer as light and breezy as before, she looked up at the Crown Prince, not knowing what she was thinking.

And all this, obviously provoked by Dongfang Yan, couldn't help but be jealous when seeing Lin Qingyue's reaction.

—You like him so much? But you turn a blind eye to my infatuation! Lin Qingyue, even if I can't get you, I will never let you and the Crown Prince go together!
