Chapter 120 Qiong Guo Proposes to Marry Chu Qinglan

The feeling of reluctance gradually turned into longing, so that they stood on the spot for a long time, until those people disappeared completely, and the two of them had to restrain their thoughts, got on their horses and continued on their way.

In fact, returning to Beijing this time is not completely without expectations. On the one hand, they can return to Beijing to clean up Chen Xiong and Chu Yurou, and on the other hand, they can take this opportunity to return to Beijing to get married.

Today's marriage between her and Mo Beiyu has been postponed for too long, and now it's time to get married.

Every time she thought of this, she couldn't help jumping for joy.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven. Just when the two of them returned to the palace full of expectations and were about to mention their marriage to the emperor, a sudden change occurred: Qiongguo asked to marry the princess of Qingguo, and Qiongguo's national teacher will soon marry her. Will come to Qingguo to visit.

It was said to be a visit, but the real purpose was to take this opportunity to secretly investigate Qing's strength.

Forget about such insidious purposes, the truly disgusting thing was that Qiong Guo had already asked Princess Qing to marry her once before, but unexpectedly, she was still so ruthless even now.

What's even worse is that this time, Qiong Guo directly stated that he would marry Chu Qinglan, the eldest princess of Qing Kingdom.

As soon as Chu Qinglan and Mo Beiyu heard the news, they were so angry that they didn't even care to take a break, so they rushed to the imperial study room non-stop to ask to see the emperor.

"Father, my daughter has already been betrothed to the Prime Minister, how can I change it to betrothed to the traitors of the Qiong Kingdom? Once this matter gets out, where is my dignity? Where is the national prestige?" Chu Qinglan said sternly.

Mo Beiyu lifted his robe and bowed, and said: "The eldest princess has already betrothed to the minister, and you have promised before, the emperor, that as soon as the minister and the princess return from Fucheng this time, you will marry the minister and the princess immediately, and I also invite the emperor to marry you." Keep your promise!"

The emperor glared angrily when he heard this: "Mo Aiqing, what are you talking about? When did I say that I would not keep my promise? It's just that this happened suddenly, and I haven't thought of a countermeasure yet."

Mo Beiyu was neither humble nor overbearing: "Since that's the case, I ask the emperor to order my minister to marry the eldest princess now."

After finishing speaking, he bent his body and kowtowed directly.

He looked like he was begging for mercy, but he was actually threatening the emperor in disguise.

The emperor blushed with anger, glared at him fiercely, wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything for a while.

After all, he was the one who ordered the marriage at the beginning, and he was also the one who ordered the marriage for the two of them as soon as they came back.

So after all, it's me who is in the wrong now.

But I am the emperor of the ninety-five supreme, even if I am wrong, as a courtier, I should take the initiative to set up a step for myself, otherwise how would I go down this step!

Fortunately, although Mo Beiyu's attitude is firm, he is not completely disregarding the overall situation.

Therefore, after a short silence, he quickly said again: "Your Majesty, I know that you are naturally worried about offending Qiongguo, which will trigger a war between the two countries, but Qiongguo has repeatedly provoked me, Daqing. Tolerance, who can't bear it? Besides, if the eldest princess is really married there, what is the difference from ordinary people selling their daughters for glory?"

When he heard the previous words, the emperor's face had already softened a lot, but when he heard the latter sentence "what's the difference from ordinary people selling their daughters for glory", his face instantly became extremely gloomy.

He glared at Mo Beiyu angrily, and said, "Do you think I want to marry my daughter to that damned place? It's really a lack of national strength. If Qiongguo takes this opportunity to start a war, how can I, Daqing, fight?"

The emperor's worries were not unreasonable. Daqing's national strength had been severely lacking all these years, and it had been raining heavily during this period. Not only did floods occur in Fucheng, but disasters of all sizes also occurred in other places.

In order to relieve the disaster, the imperial court has already taken out all the change it can get.

This is only on the one hand, on the other hand, food shortages are severe, and winter is coming soon.

Even eating is a problem for the common people in the country. How can Daqing have the spare capacity to fight?
Could it be that the soldiers are going to fight hungry?

I'm afraid that the enemy will starve himself to death before he is killed.

Mo Beiyu didn't take it seriously, and responded with his head raised: "Insufficient national strength, strengthen the national strength; insufficient food, find a way to increase food! Anyway, no matter what, you can't send the eldest princess to such a place!"

His voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm, sonorous, like a bell ringing in the morning, with an inspiring force.

The emperor was very angry at first, but seeing him like this now, his anger instantly turned into helplessness.

"Hey!" The emperor sighed for a long time, "Mo Qing, Mo Qing, do you think things are as easy as you say? If the national power is really so easy to increase, I will still be so worried that I can't sleep well Is it not good?"

"Man will conquer nature. I believe that as long as we work hard, there will be a solution. No matter how bad it is, we will fight with them. The left and right Qiong Kingdoms have been thinking about my Daqing for a long time. Sooner or later, this battle will break out."

The emperor didn't answer when he heard the words, but turned his head to look at Chu Qinglan who had been standing silently by the side, and asked, "Lan'er, what do you think of this matter?"

Chu Qinglan's answer was very simple and direct: "My daughter will not marry unless she is the prime minister in this life!"

The emperor let out another long sigh when he heard the words.

He has many princesses under his knees, but the eldest daughter is the one he loves the most.

If it is possible, he also wants to follow his own daughter, so that his daughter will be in the hands of a trustworthy person.

But the daughter is his daughter, and the people in the dawn of the world are his people.

He can't ignore the people of the world at dawn for the sake of a princess!
Chu Qinglan knew what the emperor was thinking.

It's not that she wants to rule the world and disregard the common people, it's just that she doesn't want to sacrifice her own happiness, and secondly, she doesn't think that even if she marries to Qiongguo, Qiongguo will fulfill her promise to reconcile with Qingguo and stop aggressing Qingguo wantonly. country border.

So after she finished answering, she immediately replied: "Father, my daughter knows that as a princess of a country, she should be a country and think about the people of Daqing. However, those Qiong people have always been treacherous and cunning, and they are definitely not kind. So my daughter is worried that their so-called marriage is just a cover, and their real purpose is to take this opportunity to find out the truth about my Daqing, and take this opportunity to attack me in one fell swoop. Therefore, please think twice, father, and don't fall into the trap of the enemy country !"

As she spoke, she made a special obeisance to the emperor.

Seeing this, Mo Beiyu, who was still kneeling on the ground, immediately echoed: "Please think again, Your Majesty, don't fall into the trap of the enemy country!"

The emperor had a splitting headache when he heard this, and hurriedly covered his forehead with his right hand.

Seeing this, Eunuch De immediately trotted over to support the emperor.

"Your majesty, are you alright? Do you want me to ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look at you?"

The emperor waved his hands weakly, and then asked Eunuch De to support him, and sat down on the chair. When he looked up, he found that Chu Qinglan and Mo Beiyu were still in their original posture, bowing their waists, begging look like.

The emperor felt even worse when he saw it, so he simply waved his hands and let them go out, so as not to make his head hurt even more by staying here.

"Father..."

Chu Qinglan refused to go out right away, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something more, but the emperor directly waved her hand to signal her not to say any more.

"Lan'er, Father knows what you're going to say, how about this, I won't agree to them for now, wait until the Qing Kingdom envoy arrives."

"But……"

"Get out!"

The emperor issued an expulsion order directly.

Seeing this, Chu Qinglan couldn't say anything more, she gave the emperor a reluctant look, then turned around and followed Mo Beiyu and silently exited the imperial study.

As soon as the two of them left the imperial study, they found that Concubine Shu had been waiting outside the door, but she didn't know how long she had been here, and how much she had heard what they said in the imperial study just now.

It's just that now because the two of them are preoccupied with Qiongguo's marriage with Qingguo, they just cast a glance at Concubine Shu, and they don't take Concubine Shu seriously.

After seeing the ceremony, the two turned around and left on their own.

Little did they know that as soon as the two of them left, Concubine Shu brought white fungus soup into the imperial study to see the emperor.

"Your majesty, my concubine proudly asked the imperial chef to boil some white fungus soup for you, so you should drink some quickly." Concubine Shu said delicately, while hurriedly handing the white fungus soup to the emperor.
