451. Chapter 451 Reversed the situation and turned defeat into victory
"What?"
Long Qijin was stunned for a moment, but asked him to get married.
Murong Luozi also looked unwilling.
The emperor didn't care whether she liked Long Qijin or not. He just used her as a bargaining chip and pointed her out to Long Qijin.
However, when the marriage was announced, it also indicated that Long Qijin would marry a princess from another country?
So, what does the emperor think of her Murong Luozi...
But she dared not speak out when she was angry.
The emperor is the emperor, even if he decrees to kill her nine clans, it can still be done.
"Father." Long Qijin's eyes became more determined, "If Jin'er can't even firmly control his own happiness and has to be influenced by others, then how can we talk about bringing happiness to the people of the world? Jin'er
Don't let me... Even if I end up in jail, I have to pursue what I want. Don't compromise."
Long Qijin's words were so clumsy that many people were surprised.
Because even the favored prince never dared to challenge Long Hong's power.
Even the eighth prince, who was the most favored, only dared to have a small temper and had to obey the imperial decree when it came to it.
But Long Qijin's courage today surprised many ministers, and they also admired him even more.
Yes, the person they want to follow is a person who can confront the powerful and even seize more rights from the powerful.
Long Qijin was undoubtedly the candidate they had been waiting for for so long.
The eyes of the officials became a little hotter, and they all fell on Long Qijin.
When Long Qijin said this, frankly speaking, Dongfang Lian was just surprised.
She knew that Long Qijin had his own ideas, and he was also very smart. Although he was obviously at a disadvantage, he was able to take advantage of the current situation and establish an image for himself.
Today's officials are looking forward to someone they can support secretly and take sides.
The officials' choices were erratic between Long Qijin and Long Qihao. They didn't know who Long Hong's final heart was. It seemed that Long Qihao and Long Qijin were both possible.
They don't want to guess, and they want to please the new emperor first, so they need someone who can not be afraid of Long Hong's authority and who can eventually aspire for imperial power.
Even if that person was not what Long Hong had in mind, the struggle for imperial power was an endgame, and the one who had the last laugh was the winner. And Long Qijin gave them hope of winning.
Dongfang Lian smiled. She absolutely did not want Long Qijin's reputation to be established in the hearts of the officials. It would undoubtedly give him a push to reach the highest position.
She just wanted to pull him down.
"His Majesty."
Dongfang Lian knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Lian'er knows that His Highness the Seventh Prince belongs to the whole world and cannot be owned by Lian'er, a mere little girl. But Lian'er is just an ordinary woman, a little willful and selfish.
Lian'er hopes that her future man will be hers alone. I heard His Majesty just now, did you actually want His Majesty the Seventh Prince to become a princess from another country?"
"Do you have any objections?"
Long Hong looked at Dongfang Lian with sharp eyes.
When he saw this woman just now, he felt that she was extraordinary. With Murong's thoughts, Long Hong saw clearly. An ordinary noblewoman would definitely be at a loss.
But she was very calm and collected, and did not get into trouble at all. Instead, she reversed the situation and turned defeat into victory.
To be honest, Long Hong applauded Dongfang Lian's performance.
He didn't know about the grievances between Murong Yi and Dongfang Lian, but when he saw the two women fighting just now, it was obvious that Dongfang Lian was better.
