Chapter 859 I Must Marry You
After dawn, the news that Dongming Ziyu left the capital and rushed to the fiefdom had spread. King Chu, King Heng, and King Ling also started to prepare for the trip.
They originally hoped that Dongming Ziyu, who was strong and had a good relationship with the emperor, would try to stay in the capital, so that they could borrow money without having to go to the fiefdom.
Unexpectedly, King Xuan was in such a hurry that he set off for the fiefdom on the second day of the emperor's coronation ceremony.
He secretly scolded Dongming Ziyu for being stupid, but he had to go to that barren fiefdom.
Liya was counting on King Xuan and Princess Xuan to support her, but in the morning she heard that they had set off to the fiefdom early in the morning.
She still didn't believe it, so she ran to Prince Xuan's Mansion to find someone, and was told that Prince Xuan and Princess Xuan had already left the capital.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! How could it be like this!" Liya was simply crazy.
When I returned to the inn, I pulled my hair and rolled on the bed irritably.
In Dongming, only Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli were on good terms with him and had enough weight to speak to the emperor.
Once they leave, I'm afraid their wishes will come true again.
A'Zhu stood aside and silently lit the wax for Liya. It looked like they were going back in vain.
"Princess Qi, Emperor Dongming has invited our delegation to enter the palace to discuss matters." Outside the door, an attendant reported softly.
Liya suddenly sat up from the bed, her eyes were bright and frightening, and she laughed and said: "It must be done! Dongming is particular about whether men and women should be intimate, and we all hugged each other, and the Queen Mother saw it, no matter what
He has to marry me too!"
A'Zhu is not so optimistic. Although marrying Liya will gain Miao territory, it is equivalent to becoming Nanyun's enemy. Emperor Kang has just ascended the throne and his foundation is not yet stable. I am afraid he will not provoke a war at this time.
Liya happily had her dressed up, and with her head and body covered in silver ornaments, she entered the palace with a bustle.
When Emperor Kang saw the moving silver ingot, his eyes twitched and he said: "Princess Liya and Miao Jiang adults, please sit down."
Princess Liya glanced at the Dongming officials sitting there and had a bad feeling in her heart.
Sure enough, I heard the Minister of Rites say: "Princess Liya, the King of Miao Xinjiang wants to marry you to our emperor, but we cannot agree to it."
Princess Liya's face darkened, she slapped the table and stood up, and said angrily to Emperor Kan: "Yesterday I left the palace disheveled, but many people saw it, including the Queen Mother. Don't you want to take responsibility?"
Emperor Kang said calmly: "You know what happened at that time! Don't think that I and my ministers are fools, letting you play around with applause!"
Liya's momentum suddenly dropped, she stiffened her neck and said arrogantly: "I, I, I don't care, you have to be responsible for me anyway! Anyway, I have seen your body, I must marry you."
Emperor Kang said calmly: "We were still young at that time, so we had to obey the authority in urgent matters. Besides, the people in Miao territory are civilized. Let alone children, adults don't care about these things!"
Liya's shoulders slumped, she sat down like a deflated ball, and said desperately and resentfully: "You hate me so much?"
The Minister of Etiquette said: "Princess Liya, we in Dongming also have rules that women can only get married after they are fifteen years old and have hairpins. You are only thirteen years old and still a child. Therefore, our emperor cannot marry you as his queen, at least not now."
"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Liya's eyes, "I'll be fifteen in two years, can I..."
"Princess Liya!" Kandi stopped her fantasy, "We will discuss this in two years."
Liya looked desperate, "But in two years, I'm afraid you will become a father."
The official accompanying the Miao people asked: "Is this the end of the matter? After all, they have skin relations, but they just don't take our Miao people seriously?"
The Minister of Rites continued: "Our Holy Majesty is not an unkind person. You are using Miao territory as a dowry because you want to seek the protection of Dongming. This matter is not insurmountable and does not necessarily require marriage."
Liya's eyes lit up, "What can I do?"
The Minister of Rites said: "We can send troops to help you, but there are conditions."
The Miao officials looked serious, "What are the conditions?"
Emperor Kang said: "It depends on what you want, whether to bow down to our Dongming and pay tribute every year, or whether to surrender to our Dongming and become part of our territory."
Liya immediately said: "If you don't marry me, you won't want Miao territory to return to Dongming!"
The Minister of Rites said: "So your Miao territory wants to surrender to us? Your Miao territory is so small, will the tribute you pay us be enough for us to send troops to protect you? You must know that we will incur aggression and retaliation from Nanyun, and the gain will probably outweigh the losses."
"
The Miao border official said: "If the Miao border belongs to Dongming, our Miao border will only be protected by your troops. Isn't it a big loss?"
Emperor Kang shrugged, "Forget it, you can go back and submit to Nanyun. Anyway, it turns out that you belong to Nanyun, and Nanyun also regards Miao territory as its own territory."
If he guessed correctly, Nanyun Youhan had a close relationship with the Black Robe Sect and the black sect of witch doctors. Liya and Dongming Ziyu teamed up to destroy the Netherworld Valley and turned it into an unfathomable cold pool.
It's strange that Nanyun Youhan would spare them.
After the Miao Territory is taken back, there will definitely be no trace left of the Emperor Miao Territory and the witch doctor clan.
Therefore, Emperor Miao Jiang preferred to seek refuge with Dongming, and even gave Miao Jiang to Dongming as Liya's dowry.
The two parties are at loggerheads over the conditions and are preparing for long-term back-and-forth negotiations.
…
Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli encountered several assassinations. Fortunately, they were well prepared and resolved them easily.
Three days later, when they arrived at Pingjin Pier, Xiao Fei, Bai Qingyan and their people had already boarded a large ship from Meihua Pavilion and were waiting there.
Surprisingly, Feng Jinxing and Qingfeng were also waiting on the dock.
Feng Jinxing stood there, the winter wind blowing his hair and white fox fur cloak, making him look like an immortal riding on the wind.
Seeing Shangguan Ruoli holding Dongming Ziyu's hand as he got out of the carriage, Feng Jinxing's eyes turned red, and he lowered his eyes to cover it up. When he raised his eyes again, his usual gentle and indifferent look appeared.
Dongming Ziyu's pupils shrank when he saw Feng Jinxing, and he wanted to slap him into the sea with his palm. It was so annoying.
Pretty boy! Not a good thing!
When Zhuyue saw Qingfeng, a flash of light flashed in his cold eyes.
Perhaps, only when they are about to separate or lose, lovers with slow emotions will realize the importance of each other and realize that they love each other more.
This is the situation now, month by month.
However, she could not leave Shangguan Ruoli at this time.
"I pay my respects to King Xuan and Princess Xuan!" Feng Jinxing led his people a few steps forward and knelt down to salute.
Dongming Ziyu will ignore him and ask him to kneel, kneel, kneel! Hum!
Shangguan Ruoli held up a hand in the air, "Sir Feng, please get up quickly. Why are you here?"
