Mistress of the Mysterious Inn - C206
Before, when the emperor and Siyan were discussing, he was thinking about how Wei Tengfei would use tricks to keep Hanxi here, or secretly take away without telling him.
They had prepared all sorts of ways to deal with this situation. Never would they have thought that Wei Tengfei would actually bring this person over and openly tell everyone that they had already reached an agreement with him long before he had requested for their marriage alliance. They had begged the emperor to give them Bi Hanxi for marriage.
At this time, everyone was embarrassed, but Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi was afraid that his daughter would cause a conflict between the two countries. He immediately stood up and angrily rebuked Wei Tengfei for going back on his words, saying that he had rejected the marriage right in front of his face last year, that even the emperor was in front of him, and so on.
The Emperor was naturally angry, this old fellow actually dragged him in, the matter could have gone in another direction, how would he appear now that the Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi was in trouble?
Fortunately, Bi Zhenye was beside him. Seeing his sister carried over by the General Wei and his proposal, he was incomparably excited. Right now, he could only hope that his sister didn’t go to the Xiluo, and that she would marry any random commoner. Naturally, this was in a rush, so how could he not hope for his sister to marry a good man?
However, seeing that his father was about to mess things up, he steeled his heart, stood up, and clasped his fists towards the emperor. “My father is very happy today. I beg your pardon, Your Majesty, but I will take my father back with me. ”
The Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi looked at his son in anger, but he was old in the end. Bi Zhenye ordered his subordinates to help him, but it would be more accurate to say that they would help him, or help him drag him away.
The Emperor secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing the general and duke of Xiluo, who did not understand Chinese, asking what happened to Prince Haas, the Prince of Haas instead said to Xiang Run: “Your Majesty the Emperor, I did not pass on the words of the old man just now.”
Xiang Run raised his eyebrows slightly, but Prince Haas said: “I have a woman I like at the Xiluo, waiting for me to marry her. I don’t want to marry any woman from your country.
The emperor was startled, but Prince Haas was very quickly pulled back to continue his conversation. He was about to say something, but Xiang Run was so furious that he discovered that there weren’t many people who could speak the language of Xiluo fluently.
They were indeed too conceited, and if this carried on, their Daqi would definitely suffer the punishment of being conceited. Xiang Run finally understood what kind of responsibility he had to shoulder to succeed the next powerful empire.
Hanxi stood beside Wei Tengfei while trembling. He tightly held onto her hand, not allowing her to struggle free. As matters stood, if she continued to resist, if she continued to accuse Wei Tengfei of going back on his words like father had done, she would only harm this man. At this point, the only thing she could do was to fight for himself and for the two of them.
The people from the Xiluo had finally understood what was happening before them and were all extremely shocked.
However, the culture of Xiluo was different from that of Daqi. In that place, if there was no politics, if there was no royal power, how could anyone marry a person they liked? They didn’t need the words of the matchmakers, and they didn’t even need the consent of their parents. Although above all this, there was also the concept of sect level, nobles not marrying commoners, and so on, but compared to Daqi, they were much more open-minded.
The unrestrained Xiluo people wanted Wei Tengfei to duel with Prince Haas.
The emperor heard his wife whisper beside him, “Are they planning to send Prince Haas to his death?”
He coughed dryly and shot Siyan a rebuking look: “Don’t let others hear.”
