Chapter 736: Granting Marriage to King Ping

Many officials were in awe of this young woman who dared to refuse the emperor, but some people were secretly sneering and gloating over her misfortune.

Ever since Prime Minister Zhang was humiliated in the General's Mansion, he has hated everyone in the Mansion, and he hated that stinky country girl who made him lose face.

As the prime minister of a country, he had worked hard to maintain an image of fairness and integrity for more than ten years, but it was destroyed in an instant by that hateful little country girl.

For a long time, he felt that his colleagues were talking behind his back.

His daughter Zhang Yunwan was gentle and intelligent, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was a famous talented woman in the capital. Several sons of ministers with good family backgrounds had come to propose marriage to her, but they were all rejected by him.

Because he and his daughter both wanted their daughter to marry a prince or a king, so that the Zhang family's position in the court would be more stable.

As a result, because of the family recognition banquet at the General's Mansion, both daughters made a fool of themselves, and even his own image collapsed among his colleagues, and he was reprimanded by the emperor.

He knew that his dream of marrying his eldest daughter to a prince or a king was shattered, and a daughter with a damaged reputation would not be accepted by the royal family.

He began to consider the sons of those ministers who had previously expressed their desire to propose marriage, but he did not expect that those people who had been so enthusiastic and flattering to him before would now avoid him. No one mentioned the matter of marriage at all. He tried to test them, but they just evaded the question, obviously unwilling to bring it up again.

In desperation, he had to let his eldest daughter study in a nunnery outside the city for two years. When people gradually forgot about those things, he would find her to marry into a family that was not as good as his own.

His own reputation was damaged, his daughter, whom he had high hopes for, was also ruined, and the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion suffered a great impact. How could Prime Minister Zhang not hate such a deep hatred to the core?

Now seeing that his enemy was about to be punished by the Emperor, Prime Minister Zhang was extremely excited and wished he could immediately see the scene of the Emperor getting furious and that stinky girl's head falling off.

Just as Prime Minister Zhang was getting more and more excited, with a smug smile on his face, he heard the still calm voice of the little village girl:

"Please, Your Majesty, please grant me your permission!"

Here it comes! Here it comes! The emperor is going to be angry, and the little girl is dead!

Prime Minister Zhang was so excited that he almost laughed out loud. He quietly raised his head and glanced at the emperor sitting on the high throne.

The emperor's face was already filled with gloom, and a violent storm was about to break out.

However, when Prime Minister Zhang held his breath, thinking that he was about to see the emperor get furious, he saw that the emperor just narrowed his eyes and looked at the arrogant little girl for a while, and the tense expression on his face suddenly relaxed.

"It's rare that you have such filial piety, so I won't force it. My Great Viet has always attached great importance to filial piety. You can refuse to enter the palace to serve as an official for the sake of your family elders. This filial piety deserves praise. However, since you are the princess of Manju Kingdom, other rewards are insignificant. Now my Great Viet and Manju Kingdom are going to establish a friendly alliance. In order to have a closer relationship between the two countries, I want to marry you to King Ping and make you King Ping's wife. You won't refuse, right?"

"Wow!"

There was a small commotion in the hall.

No one expected the emperor to suddenly say such a thing, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Prime Minister Zhang suddenly raised his head and looked straight at the emperor in disbelief, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.

What did the emperor say? Grant a marriage to Prince Ping? To this stinky, rude, and barbaric little village girl?

King Ping!

That is the emperor's most beloved prince!

Although Prince Ping is not the crown prince, it is unknown whether he will be able to sit on the supreme throne in the future.

However, given the emperor's love and favor for Prince Ping, marrying into Prince Ping's palace would surely bring wealth and glory.

Why could a lowly commoner village girl marry into Prince Ping's palace?
