Compared with Xiao Chengyi, she is really not worthy of the position of the king of a country. It is precisely because of her shallow knowledge that she almost made a big mistake.
Duan Qingli took a deep breath and said: "The Regent has a long-term vision. I have learned from it. Now that I know the Regent's thoughts, then the marriage matter, is it..."
Xiao Chengyi interrupted her and said: "Only a marriage can stop everyone in Youyou. My visit to southern Xinjiang cannot be returned without success.
Otherwise, how will you explain to the courtiers after you return? Moreover, Your Majesty understands my king's thoughts, but the courtiers and people in southern Xinjiang do not understand.
If they are frightened and cause trouble, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
Duan Qingli thought about it and felt that it made sense. Now that Nanyue's tens of thousands of elite soldiers were still waiting at Luoxia Pass, they should give an explanation to the courtiers and the people.
She looked at Xiao Chengyi and said: "I have no objection to the marriage, but this matter requires Ru'er's consent.
If she doesn't want to, I, as a mother, can't force her, and I've been negligent in disciplining her before, so I want to make up for her and find a good match for her, instead of making sacrifices for the interests of my family and country."
Xiao Chengyi said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. If the second princess doesn't want it, I won't force it. If she is willing, I will let her choose the son of the Nanyue Royal Family."
Duan Qingli nodded, feeling relieved.
Just thinking of Ru'er's thoughts, she asked curiously: "I wonder who Mr. Ye is with the regent?"
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and said in a faint voice: "He is from the world of martial arts and is also my cousin.
His biological father is the late Emperor Beichen, my uncle, and he wandered around the world since he was a child and became the leader of the Juesha Sect. Why does your Majesty ask this?"
Duan Qingli was a little surprised. She didn't expect Ye Xiuchen to be from the Beichen royal family. She said: "To be honest, I thought there was a relationship between him and Ru'er. I entrusted Ru'er to him before, and he didn't refute and explain.
Today I heard that he brought back an injured girl from outside the palace, and thought she had betrayed Ru'er. Does the regent know whether there is an affair between him and Ru'er?"
Xiao Chengyi shook his head and said: "I have never heard him say anything about the second princess. If he was interested in the second princess, he would have told me long ago. I think your majesty has misunderstood."
Duan Qingli didn't know what to say after hearing what he said?
I think Xiao Chengyi suddenly asked for a marriage just to explain the relationship between Ye Xiuchen and Ru'er tactfully, right?
She sighed: "That's all."
Since the man named Ye doesn't have that intention for Ru'er, why should she force her?
Duan Qingli said: "I will give you an answer after I ask Ru'er what she means."
Xiao Chengyi nodded slightly, then said goodbye and left.
Inside Jingyang Palace.
Mu Yun'an was waiting for Xiao Chengyi in the room. When he came back, she rushed to greet him and asked, "What did you say to His Majesty?"
Xiao Chengyi pulled her to sit down at the table and said: "Go to His Majesty to discuss the peace between the two countries."
Mu Yun'an was startled: "Marriage?"
She turned her eyes slightly and suddenly understood what he meant: "Let the second princess marry Nanyue?"
Xiao Chengyi smiled slightly: "There is no other choice except her."
Mu Yunan tilted her head and looked at Xiao Chengyi. She smiled and took Xiao Chengyi's arm and asked, "Then who do you plan to let her marry?"
