He already knew the intentions of his father from the old king's gaze. Since it was beneficial to unite with the Huang Kingdom, and he already had multiple princesses, what would it matter if he married another Long Zhaoran?
No?
Zana was a little disappointed. She thought she could get married to Ouyang Xiu today, but...
"So, the marriage between the Huang Kingdom and the Dahe Kingdom has been settled just like that?"
Long Jing raised his glass crazily and paid a distant tribute to the old king, Temulans.
"good."
Temulans answered again, and the old king was also very happy.
…
Although Dongfang Lian, the queen, had no chance to speak during the entire state banquet, she realized from Long Jingkuang's conversation with the old king that he had his own way of governing the country and the political structure of the world.
Unexpectedly, when I accidentally recruited him to join forces to deal with Long Qijin, I found a good king for the Huang Kingdom.
Is this also God’s will?
If God's will is for two emperors to compete for the top, then Long Jingkuang is naturally a good emperor.
…
Ouyang Xiu was a little surprised. He thought he would be coerced by Long Jingkuang tonight into agreeing to marry Zana, but he didn't expect it. Long Jingkuang was smart and didn't do this.
…
After the state banquet.
When Timlans returned to his residence, there was already a friend waiting for him in the flower hall.
"You're back? I heard that your River Country has decided to form an alliance with the Huang Country... Do you want to marry Zhaoran?"
The man's voice was clear and he poured a glass of wine for Temulans.
"Sigh. I didn't expect that Long Jingkuang's eloquence and ideas were good, and he actually impressed my father. In that case, even if I rejected the marriage, my father would definitely let their prince marry Long Zhaoran instead.
I don’t want to miss this contribution to the alliance with the Phoenix Kingdom. I hope you can understand, brother.”
Temulans patted his friend on the shoulder.
"Of course I understand."
The masked man poured another glass of wine for Temulans.
"But, friend, what do you want to do? The person you were waiting for has arrived. If you don't go to see her, your enemy...has also arrived."
"Once you're here, don't think about leaving easily."
Masked man holds wine glass tightly.
Hum, Long Jingkuang...
"But my friend, you'd better not kill Long Jingkuang in the River Kingdom, otherwise my father will not spare me. Now the old guy still has some power in his hands, and I now have soldiers and horses in my hands.
It all depends on the old guy’s face.”
"Of course, I won't implicate you. If Long Jingkuang died in the Great River Country, the Great River Country, let alone the alliance with the Phoenix Country, would become an enemy in an instant. Your Great River Country has treated me well, and I will not be the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity.
.I will never harm you."
"That's good. I believe in you, brother. Come on, cheers..."
The two clinked their glasses and turned to other topics.
…
Dongfang Lian and Long Jingkuang returned to their residence together, chatting while walking.
"You just agreed to let Long Zhaoran marry to the River Country. What if Long Zhaoran doesn't like this marriage?"
Dongfang Lian said worriedly. From her point of view, Long Zhaoran was also a woman with ideas.
"Uncle Four Emperors has been troubled by Long Qijin. He is also a member of the royal family. Logically speaking, after I ascended the throne, I should have made him the king, but I did not make him the king. If Long Zhaoran agreed to marry, I would make the Fourth Emperor the king.
The emperor's uncle is the king. I think for this reason, the fourth emperor's uncle will also convince Long Zhaoran.
