The woman the prince had broken off the engagement with...

When Emperor Zhao heard this, a trace of guilt and embarrassment flashed across his eyes. It did sound a bit unkind for the woman the prince had broken off the engagement with to be married to Mu Cang.

But Yan Li was not like others.

The emperor really wanted to find a good home for her, so the guilt only flashed through his mind. He was more reminded of the bad things the prince had done, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "Xiu Han really disappoints me."

Mu Cang was indifferent and had no interest in talking about the prince.

"Mu Cang, it's rare to see you willing to consider a woman." Emperor Zhao looked at Mu Cang, "But Yan Li is still young after all..."

"I won't touch her for the time being." ŴŴŴ.

Emperor Zhao was speechless for a moment, "...Okay."

Although I don't know why Mu Cang changed his mind so quickly, Yan Li did have protection after marrying me, and she didn't have to be so nervous and considerate as a king, always worrying that she would be bullied.

Although I still have some hesitations in my heart, since this is Yan Li's own choice and Mu Cang agrees, it seems that there is nothing to worry about.

"Tomorrow I will ask the Imperial Eunuch to pick an auspicious day, and we will do it next month." Emperor Zhao said, and then he paused for a moment, "But there is one thing I want to ask for your opinion on."

Mu Cang said in a light tone: "What is it?"

"I have some ideas about the prince's breaking off the engagement." Emperor Zhao showed a little mockery on his face, "The legitimate son of Empress Xiu Han has always behaved well in government affairs. The ministers all praised him for his prudent behavior, extraordinary demeanor, and the style of a king, but recently I found that he did not have much responsibility."

Mu Cang showed no expression: "I will not interfere in the matter of the crown prince. The emperor can appoint whoever he thinks is suitable."

" I also hope you can give me some advice. "

Mu Cang said calmly: "Send all seven princes to the frontier army to experience some, and you will know who is the most suitable to be the crown prince."

Emperor Zhao was speechless for a moment: "Don't you need to learn how to fight before becoming an emperor?"

"Don't let them learn how to fight, but let them go to the frontier to feel the hardship of the soldiers and see the suffering of the people at the border because of the war. Only when they become kings in the future will they have a broad mind and be kind to the people." Mu Cang's voice was as cold as snow, "Those who have witnessed the suffering of the people and are indifferent, do you think they can be a good king?"

Emperor Zhao was silent.

I know that Mu Cang is a military general with a cold temper and speaks directly, and never beats around the bush.

Going to the border to train is indeed a good training opportunity for the princes, but the princes are spoiled and used to living in a luxurious life. How can they adapt to life at the border?

"It's definitely not possible for all seven princes to go together." Emperor Zhao said, "How about you pick two?"

Mu Cang frowned slightly: "Your Majesty can ask their opinions when you have time to see if they are willing to go to the border. It's better to be voluntary than to be forced."

Emperor Zhao nodded, "You make sense."

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Emperor Zhao frowned: "You came to the palace in person just for the marriage?"

"Nothing else."

"Since you are here, don't leave in a hurry. I have something to talk to you about." Emperor Zhao stepped into the palace, walked to the screen and sat on the dragon couch, and motioned Mu Cang to sit down as well, "There is something I have kept in my heart for a long time. It is a secret between me and Jiang Yi. I have never told anyone before. Today I want to share it with you."

Mu Cang sat on the chair After sitting down, the palace servants served tea and left. Emperor Zhao raised his hand to dismiss all the servants in the hall: "You all go out."

After everyone in the hall had left, Emperor Zhao said: "Yan Li's biological mother is actually not dead, and she did not do anything to ruin the Jiang family. The reason I tell you today is because you are willing to marry Yan Li and will be her backer in the future. I hope you can have no grudges and treat her well."

Mu Cang's eyes deepened slightly: "Jiang Yi is not dead?"

"Yes, not dead." Emperor Zhao showed a bitter smile on his face, "Promise Yan Li to the prince, and fulfill the agreement I made with her. I promised to let Yan Li be the princess of Chu and the queen of Chu in the future. Unfortunately, this agreement was ruined by that rebellious son."

Mu Cang did not expect to hear such words, and he lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"I was thinking that if the prince didn't want to marry, I would depose the crown prince and appoint another one. I would see which prince Yan Li wanted to marry, and then I would appoint that prince as the crown prince. I didn't expect that she didn't choose any prince, but chose you, the Ninth Prince." Emperor Zhao looked up at Mu Cang and smiled helplessly, "I have to say that although she is young, she has a good eye for talent."

Mu Cang's voice was calm and calm: "Being a princess is more comfortable than being a queen."

Emperor Zhao agreed with this. Mu Cang was cold and not interested in women. There were not so many messy people in the backyard. Yan Li could live more comfortably after marrying him.

And with Mu Cang's status, no matter which prince ascended the throne in the future, he would have to give him some face, and Yan Li would not have to be inferior to others. It was indeed much more comfortable than being a queen.

Emperor Zhao drank the tea, "Mu Cang, I'll tell you something."

Mu Cang looked at him expressionlessly.

"Yan Li is actually quite famous, you..." Emperor Zhao weighed his words, trying to be as calm and composed as possible, "You must treat her well."

She is quite famous?

Mu Cang's eyebrows moved slightly, and a familiar figure in red appeared in his mind again. His deep eyes were filled with thoughts, which were bottomless.
