Chapter 1410 Because of You

"Sister Yuanxiang!" Zhao Qi said loudly: "I don't want to talk about the poetry meeting now! I just want to know what you meant by what you just said. Do you know anything?"

"This..." Yuan Xiang looked embarrassed, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Yuan Xiang's reaction made Zhao Qi even more sure that the other party must know something, and moreover, it was something he didn't understand.

"Sister Yuanxiang, just tell me what you know." Zhao Qi said.

"But, your Majesty didn't tell you about this. If I tell you and your Majesty finds out, I will definitely be punished by your Majesty." Yuan Xiang said in embarrassment.

"It's okay. It's just you and me in this room. As long as I don't tell you, my father won't know." Zhao Qi said.

"this......"

"Stop it, my sister Yuanxiang, do you want to kill me?" Zhao Qi was anxious.

The more Yuan Xiang hesitated to speak, the more Zhao Qi wanted to know.

"Well, you must not tell His Majesty that I told you this." Yuan Xiang said to Zhao Qi as if he had made a lot of determination.

"Yes, yes, I promise!" Zhao Qi said quickly.

Yuan Xiang subconsciously glanced in the direction of the door, as if she was afraid that someone would hear her. Then she whispered to Zhao Qi: "Sister Qi, you don't know something. Not long after you left the imperial capital, the emperor of Tianji Kingdom wrote Letter to Your Majesty, hoping to marry Your Majesty."

"Marriage?!" Zhao Qi exclaimed.

"Yes, it is a marriage." Yuan Xiang said: "The emperor of Tianji Kingdom wrote to His Majesty, hoping that his second prince can marry the princess of our Yanfeng Kingdom to enhance the friendship between the two countries. This Tianji Kingdom is a place for You know that the second prince who is bullying our Yanfeng Kingdom is just the second prince, not the crown prince of their country. Moreover, the second prince is already married and has a main concubine. In the past, our princess could only be a side concubine. This marriage request is They are insulting our country, Yanfeng."

"Did my father agree?" Zhao Qi looked at Yuan Xiang angrily.

Regarding Tianji Kingdom's marriage request, Zhao Qi, as the princess of Yanfeng Kingdom, was naturally very angry. This was a clear insult to their Yanfeng Kingdom. The dignified princess of Yanfeng Kingdom could only be a concubine in the past, and... She was just marrying the second prince.

"Of course Your Majesty will not agree." Yuan Xiang said.

"I knew my father would not agree." Zhao Qi said.

"But among the ministers in the court, many people are in favor of this marriage." Yuan Xiang said.

"Ah? Why? Don't they know that Tianji Kingdom is humiliating our Yanfeng Kingdom? Once we agree to this marriage, our Yanfeng Kingdom will become a laughing stock and even be infamy for thousands of years." Zhao Qi said anxiously.

Although Zhao Qi usually doesn't care about the affairs of the court, she also knows that this kind of thing is related to the face and honor of the entire country and cannot be agreed to. Why, she understands this truth, don't those ministers not understand?

"The ministers naturally understand this truth, but they have to agree." Yuan Xiang said: "Successive natural and man-made disasters have led to loneliness and emptiness, no money and no food. Moreover, rebels are everywhere in our Yanfeng Kingdom, and there are The demon army is raging, and the internal situation is very unstable. At this time, it is not appropriate to offend the Tianji Kingdom. I heard from my father that the Tianji Kingdom’s army is gathering. Once we reject their request for marriage, they will use it as an excuse to attack us. Yanfeng Kingdom, and Tianji Kingdom has also roped in Shuiyue Kingdom as an ally. With the current situation of our Yanfeng Kingdom, it is simply not enough to fight against two superpowers at the same time. Therefore, for the sake of the entire country, ministers have no choice but to Agree with this marriage request.”

Zhao Qi's brows furrowed deeply. She knew better than Yuan Xiang and many ministers what the current situation was in their Yanfeng Kingdom. When she went out, she saw with her own eyes the people who were displaced and victims of disasters everywhere. Having experienced the siege by the rebels, she knew how rampant the rebels were. Therefore, the worries of the ministers were not unreasonable. In this case, it was indeed not appropriate to offend the two superpowers.

"Your Majesty also understands this truth, but he still resolutely rejected the marriage request." Yuan Xiang continued.

"Why?" Zhao Qi asked subconsciously.

At this time, her thoughts on the marriage were a little shaken. It was not that she really agreed with the marriage, but that reality forced her to consider the marriage.

"Because of you." Yuan Xiang said.

"Because of me?" Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something and turned pale.

"Because there is only one marriageable princess in our Yanfeng Kingdom right now, and that's you!" Yuan Xiang didn't seem to see the change in Zhao Qi's expression, and continued: "Your Majesty is reluctant to marry you far away, let alone such a kind of marriage. It is a distant marriage in the nature of 'marriage'. Therefore, even though His Majesty understood the bad consequences of rejecting Tianji Kingdom's request for marriage, he still resolutely rejected Tianji Kingdom's request. Judging from His Majesty's forcing you to marry as soon as possible, His Majesty obviously wanted to This matter must be settled as soon as possible to prevent the ministers from the court from trying to persuade him to accept the marriage. "

"This... this..." Zhao Qi felt her head buzzing, and she lost the ability to think for a moment.

When she first heard about the marriage, she had not connected it with herself, but after Yuan Xiang's reminder, she understood that it was actually related to her!

If you think about it carefully, she is indeed the only one in the entire Yanfeng Kingdom royal family who is suitable for marriage. The other princesses are either already married or are too young and are not suitable at all.

"Sister Qi, sister Qi, what's wrong with you?" Yuan Xiang saw Zhao Qi was stunned and shook her twice.

"I'm fine." Zhao Qi shook her head. This news was too explosive for her. She couldn't react for a while.

"Actually, you don't have to worry so much. His Majesty loves you so much. Everyone knows that for you, he even ignored the opinions of the ministers in the court, and was not afraid of the attacks of Tianji Country and Shuiyue Country. He also asked you to choose someone to marry as soon as possible. This is to protect you. You will never be married to Tianji Country." Yuan Xiang said.

Zhao Qi also understood her father's good intentions at this time, but she didn't feel happy. First, she didn't like the choices her father gave her. Second, if she really got married, her father would ignore the safety of the entire court for her, and even cause their Yanfeng Country to fall into war. She felt very uncomfortable.

"So, Sister Qi, you can't blame His Majesty for urging you to get married as soon as possible. He is doing this for your own good." Yuan Xiang said, "Choose one quickly. Once you get married, the ministers in the court will no longer be able to persuade His Majesty to agree to marry you to Tianji Country."
