#470 - You will love it

“……”

When Xu Ming heard the Martial Emperor say this, he was dumbfounded.

Xu Ming even suspected that he had misheard.

What did the Martial Emperor just say?

Co-wives?

The Martial Emperor is really a genius…

You can even come up with the idea of co-wives.

Indeed, whether he marries Yan Han or Tang Ningzhi, it will cause dissatisfaction in both countries. If he marries Yan Han, it will be difficult to explain to Tang Ningzhi's country.

After all, their national strength is equal to yours, and they are marrying their eldest princess to you, even condescending to do so.

Rejecting the marriage like this is basically no different from breaking off the engagement.

If he marries Tang Ningzhi, then the Wu Kingdom will have even more trouble explaining.

Your own daughter hasn't married out, but you're marrying the daughter of another dynasty. What will the people of Wu Kingdom think?

Moreover, during this period, various stories circulated in the Wu Kingdom, all of which portrayed Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan as the male and female protagonists, who eventually became a couple.

These story novels are deeply loved by the talented scholars and noble ladies of the Wu Kingdom.

Moreover, this kind of arrangement of the royal family is basically forbidden, but the Wu Kingdom's officialdom has not made any statement, which undoubtedly shows that they have acquiesced to the relationship between the two people.

It can be seen that the Wu Kingdom still has high expectations for this marriage.

But if they are co-wives, there is basically no such trouble.

The status of the two princesses is equal, and neither the Chu Kingdom nor the Wu Kingdom can find fault with it.

If you insist on finding fault, then my daughter is also in the same position as your daughter.

What?

Could it be that your daughter is more honorable than my daughter?

So at this time, it is equivalent to throwing the problem to the Chu Kingdom.

Are you willing for your daughter to be co-wife with my daughter?

If you are willing, then marry your daughter over.

If you are not willing, then go back, and we will pretend that this matter never happened.

Even the Chu Kingdom has to give some compensation, after all, I have agreed to you, but as a result, you just go back, it is unreasonable not to give some compensation.

Xu Ming admitted that this was indeed a good countermeasure, and if it were an ordinary dynasty, it would probably disagree.

But the problem is that the other party is the Chu Kingdom, and they have even done such a thing as letting their daughter condescend to marry over.

It's not certain that the other party will really agree.

To be honest, even if the other party agrees, Xu Ming doesn't think there is anything strange about it.

“Your Majesty, I don’t think this matter should be decided so quickly, and not to mention anything else, that princess of the Chu Kingdom and Yan Han probably won’t agree.”

Xu Ming politely refused.

Moreover, Xu Ming felt that what he said was very reasonable, fully considering the relationship between the two of them.

Even if I am willing to marry both of them, what if the two of them don't want to be co-wives?

Moreover, in any case, Xu Ming really has no plans to get married now, and Xu Ming really doesn't want to marry someone he doesn't even know.

Although this princess of the Chu Kingdom does look quite beautiful, the problem is that many things cannot be ignored just because of beauty.

He just wants to be responsible for Yan Han now, but not at this time.

If he marries Yan Han now, it would be irresponsible to Yan Han. He will go to the Southern Border Demon Kingdom and the Northern Wilderness afterwards, and these things are very dangerous.

He might even end up in that place.

To be honest, whether it is going to the Chu Kingdom or the Southern Border Demon Kingdom, Xu Ming doesn't think he can come back alive in the future.

What Xu Ming actually hopes is that he can finish dealing with these things before marrying Wu Yanhan.

Of course, before marrying Wu Yanhan, he must also give Qingwan an explanation.

However, the Martial Emperor gave him a very good idea.

That is, he simply shouldn't establish a legal wife.

As long as he doesn't establish a legal wife, then they are all his legal wives.

So now he has no way to marry Yan Han, let alone now that Tang Ningzhi has come.

If he marries her, he will really be unable to leave.

Listening to Xu Ming's words, how could the Martial Emperor not know that Xu Ming was refusing him?

But this time, the Martial Emperor will not be so easily rejected.

This time it concerns national affairs, it is not the nature of his previous marriage decree.

Even if it is not handled well, the already bad relationship between the two countries is likely to explode.

“I will go and talk to Yan Han and that princess of the Tang Kingdom about this matter, you don’t have to worry.” The Martial Emperor said, “But if it succeeds, Xu Ming, you need to be prepared.”

As he spoke, the Martial Emperor patted Xu Ming on the shoulder: “To be able to marry two princesses, in today’s Ten Great Dynasties of the Human Race, you are still the first.”

Xu Ming's eyebrows twitched: “……”

Xu Ming really doesn't want to be the first.

But the Martial Emperor has already made up his mind, and it seems that he really can't refuse this matter.

However, Xu Ming is not worried.

Yan Han and that princess of the Tang Kingdom will definitely not agree to this matter.

In Xu Ming's view, Yan Han and that princess of the Tang Kingdom have one thing in common, that is, they have a very high arrogance.

Of course, they also have this strength.

“Alright, you have worked hard these days, you can go down first, just wait for the imperial decree.” The Martial Emperor directly asked Xu Ming to go back, and it seemed that there was no room for accommodation.

After Xu Ming left the palace, he couldn't help but sigh, feeling quite helpless in his heart.

Xu Ming walked on the streets of the imperial city, intending to find a teahouse to have some tea.

Xu Ming went to a teahouse that he had heard of before.

When he returned to Wudu before, Xu Ming would go to listen to storytellers when he had nothing to do, but the places he went to were not fixed.

It is said that the storyteller in this teahouse is very good, so whenever this storyteller is on stage, there are many people in the teahouse.

Of course, this time Xu Ming went to drink tea, not just to listen to the storyteller.

Xu Ming walked into the teahouse, and soon, the waiter in the teahouse greeted him: “Young master, please come in quickly, I don’t know if you want to go upstairs or sit.”

“Upstairs, I heard that your Mr. Chen’s storytelling is not bad, I want to come and listen.”

Xu Ming said.

“Aiya, guest, you really have good eyes. Our Mr. Chen’s skills and level are definitely first-class in our Wudu. It’s just that many people don’t know it, and only think that the storytellers in those big teahouses are good.”

The waiter said proudly, looking very admiring.

“Come, come, come, guest, please go upstairs, Mr. Chen’s performance is about to start, you will definitely like the repertoire today.”
