Chapter 944 The Prince Regent's Little Princess 29
Because he was afraid that the little princess would sell her out if she couldn't wait any longer, Rong Tingyun could only speed up the marriage.
This day.
In the court, Jiang Li's people once again brought up the matter of marriage.
"The envoy replied and said that the king of Xiaoba Kingdom is very happy about the princess's marriage. He also said that he is willing to have good relations with me for a hundred years and asked the envoy to tell him that he will send an envoy to deliver the betrothal gift on a certain day."
The little emperor glanced at Rong Tingyun subconsciously.
The regent was holding his head in a daze as usual.
The little emperor asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare in advance to welcome the envoys, and began to prepare the dowry for the princess's marriage.
One month later, the envoy from Minibus Country arrived.
The envoy brought with him a lot of betrothal gifts, including hundreds of war horses.
All the officials in the DPRK did not show it on the surface, but in private they were all happy.
Therefore, the marriage was basically decided without much discussion.
In the court hall.
The chief eunuch is reading out the decree.
"To express the harmony between the two countries...because I have no children, I specially give Princess Chaohua to marry far away. I hope to build a good relationship with the Xiaoba Kingdom for a hundred years."
Gracilaria behind the curtain suddenly raised her head when she heard this.
"Wait a minute, why is it...Princess Chaohua?"
There is only one Princess Chaoyan left in the Gu dynasty. Even the deceased prince does not have the title of Chaohua!
Jiang Li said softly: "Your Majesty, have you made a mistake in your decree?"
"That's right." Although the little emperor's voice was childish, it was resounding, "That's Chaohua."
"Can……"
Before Jiang Li finished speaking, she was interrupted by Rong Tingyun.
"Princess Chaoyan is almost in her prime years, and Xiaoba Kingdom is kind and sincere in making good friends with our court. How can we be so perfunctory and negligent? We need to find a young woman with excellent appearance who can embody the spirit of our court.
Sincerity.”
All the officials below nodded in agreement.
Jiang Li frowned slightly: "If you can arbitrarily seal a princess and send her for marriage, wouldn't it make Xiaoba Kingdom feel that our government is too perfunctory?"
Historically, marriage has involved selecting a princess from the royal family.
One is to show their closeness, and the other is that they all know in private that the princess they married is just a hostage to hold both parties in check.
If a girl is randomly selected and banned, how can the Minibus Kingdom just let it go?
Jiang Li was reminding the officials that they should not be fooled like this.
Unexpectedly, Rong Tingyun raised her lips slightly when she heard this: "How could she be a princess arbitrarily named? The Princess Chaohua in our court is Jiang Suwen, the cousin of the Queen Mother."
"What?!" Jiang Li opened her eyes wide in shock.
Then Jiang Suwen arranged for her to enter the palace as her queen!
Jiang Li: "How dare you..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Rong Tingyun slowly: "The Queen Mother has both political integrity and talent and takes into account the overall situation. She is willing to share your worries for Your Majesty. I would like to thank the Queen Mother here."
Jiang Li: "..."
I almost broke all the teeth in that mouthful of shells!
But the imperial edict has been issued, and even if she wants to oppose it, she can no longer control it!
After the chief eunuch announced the marriage, the little emperor spoke again.
"As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. The regent came to me personally a few days ago, hoping that I would grant him a marriage. So I shamelessly acted like a moon elder and granted the regent a marriage."
Hearing this, all the officials in the hall were surprised.
Even Gracilaria behind the curtain secretly bit her lower lip.
Only the little emperor and Rong Tingyun's expressions remained unchanged.
The little emperor: "My imperial sister, Princess Chaoyan, is both talented and beautiful, gentle and kind-hearted. She is a perfect match for the regent. I specially give it to them to get married after the national mourning."
Little Emperor: "Prince Regent."
Rong Tingyun leaned forward slightly: "I'm here."
The little emperor: "The regent is as open-minded as a grain of salt, upright and loyal, and he is my eyes and ears. Now I am entrusting you with the imperial sister, and I hope you will cherish her like a pearl."
Rong Tingyun: "I thank the Lord for your kindness."
Then there were congratulations from all the officials.
Only Jiang Li behind the curtain had a gloomy expression and her armor was broken off.
