After all, Queen Xingwen had already spoken, and it was hard for Xia Houranluo to refuse, and the marriage between Gongguo and Fengguo had always been there, just because Gongguo was dominated by women, and those sent out were all concubines from rich families.
He has never been able to enter the harem. However, in order to strengthen the marriage with Gong Guo, Feng Guo always gave away courtiers' bastards. No matter how bad it was, they could still have a place in the harem. So since the marriage could not be refused, Xia Hou Ranluo took a look
Xiahou Yazou also agreed.
"The Queen is right. This princess and King Pingyang are indeed not suitable for each other. After all, King Pingyang is the vassal king of Feng State. He cannot follow my princess to Gong State. Therefore, I accept King Pingyang's kindness.
.”
After receiving Xia Houranluo's rejection, Fu Siji seemed to have expected it. He nodded generously and silently returned to his seat.
Seeing that Fu Siji had given up, Queen Wenwen continued to speak: "If King Pingyang is not suitable, there will always be a suitable candidate. I remember that Xu Jitong, the third son of Mr. Xu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, happened to be in his weak year, and he was also proficient.
Martial arts are just right for Princess Ruilin, I wonder if the emperor feels the same way?"
"The Queen is right. Lord Xu's third son is also a talented person and a suitable candidate for marriage." After saying this, Emperor Zhan looked at Xia Hou Ranluo and Xia Hou Yazuo, "I wonder what Her Highness the Princess wants."
Xia Houranluo glanced at Xiahou Yazou beside him. After getting the other party's approval, he responded to Emperor Zhan: "Since it is so appropriate, then it all depends on your majesty."
"Okay, then let Princess Ruilin and Lord Xiahou stay a little longer. Early tomorrow morning, I will let Lord Xu bring his son into the palace." After Emperor Zhan said this, he stopped continuing this topic, but he
Looking at His Highness, he saw Fu Siji looking at him with an indifferent smile.
Emperor Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and then Emperor Zhan thought about it carefully, maybe... Fu Siji didn't want to propose marriage today at all...

"Master, I thought you would be jealous and refuse." After returning to the room, Xia Houran lay on the bed and looked at Xia Houyazuo who was sitting in front of the dressing table and letting Ji Yuanqing comb his hair.
"Marriage between the two countries has existed since ancient times. Even if you reject it tonight, it will not disgrace Emperor Zhan and Queen Wenwen, but you will still have to accept it tomorrow. Why do you have to toast and not eat as a penalty? Don't worry about this on other days.
It's better to agree readily." Xiahou Yazuo smiled faintly and gently touched the fiery red mark between his eyebrows with his fingertips, "I am still very confident in my appearance, and even if I am not your imperial husband,
I am still your master, and this relationship cannot be eliminated. As for jealousy... When you inherit the throne in the future, will I be the only one in the harem? The purpose of an emperor's harem is not simply to carry on the family line or to have romantic affairs.
Yes, the harem is also a place to balance the government and power. You have to learn this in the future. As for if I want to be jealous, wouldn't it mean that I will kill myself? "
After listening to Xia Houya's words, even Ji Yuanqing couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, princess. From the moment the master gives me to you, I will be your future husband. If the master is jealous, how can he treat me like a slave?"
I’m giving it to you.”
Xia Houranluo nodded slightly, accepting the reality. Indeed, she was not an ordinary woman, so how could she have an ordinary marriage and love?
