Chapter 722 - another plan
Xiao Jiuyuan looked up at the Emperor and his eyes suddenly became as deep as the sea, as unfathomable as the abyss.
The old Emperor’s heart sank as he heard Xiao Jiuyuan’s cold voice,””Imperial older brother can’t wait for me to take this cup of wine, right?”
In this way, as the Prince Consort, he would no longer have the right to meddle in the affairs of the Imperial court. In fact, he would have a reason to take back his personal guards, right?
Don’t even think about it.
Xiao Jiuyuan’s gloomy look shocked the Emperor, and he softened his tone.
“Ninth Royal brother, what are you thinking about? the princess has taken a liking to you. This is a matter of marriage between two countries, so you can’t be careless.”
Xiao Jiuyuan sneered and waved his sleeve, breaking the glass in the princess ‘hand.
He stood up and looked down at Princess Zhao Hua, arrogantly and unruly.
“I, Dong Li, don’t need a marriage alliance between princesses. If you want to fight, I will accompany you.”
His words caused the originally joyous and laughing imperial court to instantly stiffen.
The Crown Prince of Nanzhao slowly got up and looked at Xiao Jiuyuan coldly.
Li Prince, do you think that I, Nan Zhao, am afraid of your Dongli state?”
“Whether you’re afraid or not, let’s try it first. If you want this Prince to marry your Nan Zhao Princess, don’t even think about it. How dare you come to Dong Li and think you’re all that? I’m not someone who can be chosen by just anyone. I have to choose my own woman, not someone else. ”
Xiao Jiuyuan looked down at the woman in front of him. He could see the fear in her eyes.
How could such a woman be compared to his Yu ‘er?
He really overestimated himself.
Xiao Jiuyuan’s arrogant attitude angered the envoy of Nan Zhao.
All of Nan Zhao’s emissaries stood up and looked at Xiao Jiuyuan with hatred. Then, they looked at the Emperor of Dongli.
Your Majesty, if that’s the case, I, Nan Zhao, and Dong Li can’t negotiate for peace.”
“If you don’t want to talk, then leave quickly.”
Xiao Jiuyuan was not polite at all.
He had long been unhappy with the people from Nan Zhao, so he had come to Dongli to talk about peace and even bragged about his arrival in Dongli.
What kind Princess, what all-rounded talent.
This was just a means of publicity. If the princess was really good, her reputation would have long spread.
He didn’t know where this thing had come from, but it had chosen him to be the Prince Consort.
He didn’t feel happy. He only felt that this was a kind of humiliation to him.
In the main hall, Xiao Jiuyuan’s words made the faces of the Nan Zhao people all turn black, and they all stared at Xiao Jiuyuan with angry eyes.
It was as if they were going to start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
The courtiers in the hall were all flustered.
They all turned to look at the old Emperor. The old Emperor’s face was ashen and he was panting heavily from anger. The Empress was consoling him by his side.
When the emperor’s breathing had calmed down, he opened his mouth angrily.
“Xiao Jiuyuan, it seems that I have spoiled you too much. You don’t even care about the country’s Affairs. The peace between the two countries is a National affair. It can’t be taken lightly.”
Xiao Jiuyuan sneered, looked up at the old Emperor, and said faintly.
“What an important matter of the country. Royal brother, you really know how to talk about it in a grand manner. I just want to ask you, why did the Nan Zhao kingdom Come to Dongli to talk about peace? why can their Princess publicly choose a marriage partner?”
“Princess Nan Zhao can freely choose a marriage partner, so should this Prince sacrifice my own happiness to fulfill the so-called national affairs you all speak of? I just want to ask Imperial brother, is Princess Nan Zhao your biological sister or is this Prince your biological brother? are you only concerned with fulfilling Princess Nan Zhao and ignoring this Prince, or is it that Imperial brother has other plans in his heart?”
