The first sweet of the evil king's favorite concubine

Chapter 584 Palace Banquet (2)

However, compared to Huang Ge's worries caused by the abnormal change of Jiuli envoys, the matter of Jiuli Kingdom asking her to marry her for the eldest prince is even more troublesome for her.

The condition offered by Jiuli was quite attractive, especially the fact that there would be no war within a hundred years made the emperor tempted.

Among the many states now, only Jiuli and Yunyue are evenly matched in national strength, and the other states are second.

If Jiuli was willing to quell the war with Yunyue for a hundred years, then Yunyue Kingdom's dependence on Lanjue would not be so strong, and it would be easier for the emperor to handle Lanjue.

Although the other courtiers did not have such concerns as the emperor, the fact that there had been no war for a hundred years was of great benefit to the development of Yunyue Kingdom's national strength and the people's ability to live and work in peace and contentment.

And the other party's request is only for a woman. From their point of view, although Huang Ge has a marriage contract with Lan Jue, if she marries to Jiuli, it can bring such great benefits to Yunyue Kingdom, whether it is Lan Jue or Lan Jue. Huangge should make concessions.

Just when many courtiers of Yunyue Kingdom were eagerly thinking about how to persuade the emperor to accept this matter, the Queen Mother suddenly spoke.

"Princess Mingzhu is already married. If your country wants to marry me, Yunyue, the emperor and the princes still have several princesses and princesses under their knees."

The queen mother's words were full of refusals, and it was like a basin of cold water was poured on the heads of the courtiers in an instant, temporarily suppressing their eagerness to move.

"That's really a pity. Our First Prince is planning to personally bring the peace agreement to Yunyue Kingdom to show our sincerity. Now it seems that His Highness has no such opportunity..."

When the envoy of Jiuli heard the words, he immediately made an expression of pretending to be sorry, and his tone was full of regret.

"Your Majesty, I think Jiuli's request can be considered."

Everyone heard that the eldest prince Jiuli was going to come with a petition for peace, obviously this time it was not just casual talk.

If this is the case, then Yunyue Kingdom must not miss such an excellent opportunity!

"My minister agrees."

"The minister also agrees."

With the first courtier taking the lead, the other courtiers who were already ready to make a move naturally followed suit.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the entire palace banquet suddenly became quite strange, and it was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.

"Emperor, what do you think of this matter?"

The empress dowager cast a sideways glance at those courtiers who jumped out to tease the emperor, and did not argue with them on the spot, but asked the emperor.

"Mother, this matter has a lot to do with it. In my opinion... why don't we discuss it later?"

The emperor looked at the queen mother with a smile on his face. On the surface, the words sounded like a discussion, but in fact, it showed from the side that the emperor was also tempted and was willing to marry Huangge to Jiuli.

"Hmph, Ai's family is old and can't do anything anymore. The emperor can do whatever he wants. It's just that this matter is really important. The emperor should first ask Jue'er what he means!"

The Empress Dowager knew very well who the emperor was, and now she knew what he was thinking when she heard him say this.Now that there are so many pairs of eyes watching, and so many envoys from other countries, even if the queen mother is unhappy, she can only force herself to suppress it, but she just mentioned this sentence in the end.

As soon as the queen mother mentioned Lan Jue, the emperor's expression became a little unnatural. The next moment, he almost subconsciously cast his eyes in all directions. After confirming that Lan Jue was not present, the expression on his face eased a bit.
