Prince Xian...
The look of thought appeared on the face of Emperor Chu. After a moment, he nodded and said: Let him go to Beijing.
The Prime Minister said it is right. If you want to select one of the princes of the Chu royal family, you will be the only prince Xian.
The position of the crown prince is not only related to the next emperor, but also has many interests in the court.
He was already very happy with King Xian. As for the officials who supported other princes, he would inevitably feel disappointed.
However, the Prime Minister and His Majesty have already spoken, and the matter has almost been settled.
At this moment, an official walked up and bowed and said: Your Majesty, the envoy of Xiaowan Kingdom, arrived in Kyoto yesterday. Should Your Majesty summon them?
Xiaowan Kingdom? Not only Emperor Chu, but everyone's faces were full of doubts.
Xiaowan and Kyoto are thousands of miles away, and the Western Regions and Chu State have never had any connection. What would Xiaowan send an envoy to Kyoto?
The Prime Minister thought about it and said: Your Majesty, Xiaowan is no longer the same as before. Although he has not established diplomatic relations with us before, he should not treat these envoys lightly.
The Emperor Chu did not think of despising Xiaowan's envoy. Now Xiaowan is no longer much weaker than Chen Chu. He must have enough respect for a great country of the same level as them.
Besides, he never looked down on Xiaowan. Even when they were still a small country in the Western Regions, he attached great importance to this country. Even many of the systems of Chu State were learned from and learned from Xiaowan.
In addition, as an extremely proud person, he also admired the Lord of Xiaowan.
He thought for a moment and then said: Please come to the palace...
Several envoys from the Western Regions, led by two Chu officials, entered the palace.
Several people walked into a hall. Mr. Xu bowed to the man standing above and said: Xu Ling has seen His Majesty the Emperor of Chu.
Several officials behind him also bowed and bowed.
Emperor Chu looked at him, a strange look appeared on his face, and said: It was Prime Minister Xiaowan, I have long admired my name.
Chu State began to learn from Xiaowan intentionally since a few years ago. He naturally knew more about Xiaowan's situation than others.
Among them, the name of Prime Minister Xiaowan
This person is extremely talented, otherwise he would not have become the prime minister of Xiaowan, who even Chu State had to learn from.
It is precisely because of the special identity of the visitor that Emperor Chu had deep doubts about his purpose.
Mr. Xu raised his head and said with a smile: Your Majesty is too honored.
Emperor Chu was curious about their purpose, and had no intention of silence with them. He asked: Xiaowan and Chu are thousands of miles apart, and the prime minister is not far away. Is there anything important?
Mr. Xu did not take a turn and bowed again: I will not hide it from Your Majesty, Xu came this time on the order of the lord and asked Your Majesty for marriage.
Asking for a marriage? Emperor Chu frowned slightly and asked: Whose marriage do you want?
Mr. Xu said: The king has admired Princess Changning for a long time. He is willing to make love with Chu and the State of Qin and Jin. This time Xu came to your country to represent the king and asks to marry Princess Changning...
As soon as these words came out, the hall became a little quiet
The Lord of Xiaowan is already the lord of the Western Regions. The princess who married him was not a commitment. If Chu could make such a powerful ally, it would be very beneficial to the future development of Chu.
However, everyone knew how doting Your Majesty was to this only princess. When Chen State asked for marriage, His Majesty did not agree to the Western Regions?
Sure enough, after hearing Mr. Xu's words, Emperor Chu's face immediately darkened
Could it be that the Prime Minister is joking with me?
Emperor Chu looked at him calmly and said: Xiaowan was able to unify the Western Regions step by step from a small country in twenty years. I admire your king. However, his age should be no less than me. Now he says he wants to marry my daughter. Don’t he feel that it’s inappropriate?
Mr. Xu smiled and said: Your Majesty misunderstood. You are talking about the former king. Now, the young king has taken over the position of the old king and became the master of the Western Regions. The young king's age is similar to the princess...
Xiaowan actually changed his master. Emperor Chu was a little surprised and his anger disappeared. However, even if the matter was not what he imagined, he would not agree to this matter.
Not to mention that Chu and Chen are friendly allies, but the Western Regions and Chen are in a similar situation. If they agree to the Western Regions' proposal, wouldn't they stand opposite to Chen?
If Chen Guo would not be dissatisfied, his stubborn daughter would not agree.
As a father, he knew very well that a few years later, she still had that person in her heart.
However, the person she was thinking of was the prime minister in Chen State, holding a beautiful wife and concubine, and enjoying endless happiness. Whenever he thought of this, he would want to capture him from Chen State and use all kinds of torture on him to relieve his resentment.
No matter what reason, he would not agree to a marriage proposal in the Western Regions. He looked at several envoys in the Western Regions with a calm expression and said: The State of Chu is willing to live in a friendly manner with your country, but it is the current national law of the State of Chu. It is the matter of marriage, so the prime minister does not need to mention it.
Mr. Xu sighed and said: That's so regretful...
The envoys of the Western Regions did not get entangled with this, but it was beyond the expectations of Emperor Chu, but also saved him a lot of trouble. He looked at the few people and said: "A few people come from afar, why not go back and rest first. After a few days, I personally invite friends from the Western Regions...
After several people left the palace, an official looked at Mr. Xu and said: Xu Xiang, there seems to be no room for discussion on this matter. I am afraid that what the king assigned to us this time will be a bit difficult...
Mr. Xu shook his head, smiled mysteriously, and said: Don't worry, the king of the country has his own arrangements for this matter. Calculate the day. The king of the country should have arrived recently...
What, the king came to Chu?
Several people were shocked when they heard this and asked one after another, but Mr. Xu did not reveal any more information.
One hour later, the princess's mansion
A female official stood in front of Li Tianlan and said: Go back to the princess, the news is confirmed. Xiaowan sent an envoy to our Chu State this time to ask the princess for marriage.
She glanced at Li Tianlan and quickly added: But they were rejected by His Majesty as soon as they spoke, so the princess doesn't have to worry...
Li Tianlan nodded and said: I understand, you go down first
The maid responded, bowed and retreated
After her figure disappeared, Li Tianlan slowly walked to the window and looked at the blue sky in the distance. A hint of irritability and a hint of resentment appeared in his heart.
The three-year period has exceeded one year, and during this period, she only received two letters, saying that he had delayed important things and would come immediately after finishing the matter.
This delay lasted for a whole year
It is naturally impossible to say that she has no resentment in her heart. But as a princess, she can never be the image of a resentful woman when she is exposed in front of everyone on weekdays.
After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed the anger in her heart. At this time, a female official walked in and said: Princess, there is a man named Tang Ning outside the mansion. I want to see you.
After she finished speaking, she felt a shadow passing by before her eyes. Looking at the empty hall, she said tremblingly: Mr., Princess...
Outside the princess's mansion, she ran over quickly and hugged the figure who came out of the mansion. Li Tianlan looked at her and smiled and said: I haven't seen you for so long, and you've grown taller again...
Tang Ning walked forward, smiled on his face and said: Long time no see...
Li Tianlan turned to look at him and asked calmly: Who are you, do we know each other?
The look of thought appeared on the face of Emperor Chu. After a moment, he nodded and said: Let him go to Beijing.
The Prime Minister said it is right. If you want to select one of the princes of the Chu royal family, you will be the only prince Xian.
