Chapter 674
"I wonder what the second prince's plans are?"
Zoe remained calm. She had long heard that several princes of the Bishu Kingdom were fighting over each other, but they still haven't decided yet.
The old emperor also delayed in issuing an edict, which is why he ended up like this.
"As long as the general is willing to help me, what do these dozen cities mean? They are given to the general. Apart from that, I am also willing to dedicate my hands to Si Zhuyuan."
Zoe sat on the chair calmly: "Si Zhuyuan? That doesn't seem to be the property of the second prince, right?"
Zoe also glanced at the woman sitting calmly next to him, she was really calm.
"Although the general knows that Sizhuyuan is not my property, he is leaderless now. Rather than being thrown into the hands of some villains, it would be better for me to be in the handshake."
Zoe picked up the tea cup: "It is indeed good tea, but just testing these things won't impress me."
"These things? I'm afraid the general still doesn't know where that Sizhuyuan is and how big its daily harvest is. Although it has only been established for a few years, it is really hard-core."
"I don't have any doubts about Si Zhuyuan, but isn't it a bit unkind to the prince? Your empty-handed trick has indeed worked."
"These more than ten cities were built by us with our own hands. They originally belong to our country's territory, and that Sizhuyuan has nothing to do with your second prince. Your sincerity in wanting to risk the lives of our country's warriors is really...
Almost."
Zoe stood up and didn't want to say anything more to the second prince. She turned around and went out with Li Yuezhu.
After going out and taking a breath of fresh air, naturally a young eunuch took them to the meeting hall.
Li Yuezhu didn't say a word during the whole process. Zoe looked back at her frequently. This little girl could really keep her composure. Some people had their thoughts on her head, so she wasn't nervous at all!
Following the young eunuch, Li Yuezhu seemed very friendly on the surface, but in fact, he had long held a grudge against the second prince in his heart.
The second prince and his mother, Concubine Wan Guifei, were like bedbugs and cockroaches in the harem. Not only did they make the harem miserable, but they were often under the control of the mother and son.
Concubine Chen was probably heartbroken this time and was actually demoted to the temple. Even the Seventh Prince was not spared.
The little eunuch's steps were very compact and not too slow, and he quickly brought the two people to the main hall.
"The envoy from Dongyue has arrived——"
The sharp and high-pitched voice made Li Yuezhu feel uncomfortable all over. This little eunuch is really a strange creature!
After entering the main hall, I didn't expect that it was quite lively inside, with all the expected people there.
Li Yuezhu just stood behind Zoe. Zoe was still as arrogant as before, and she didn't take the emperor of Bishu seriously.
"It's been really hard for the Dongyue envoys to travel thousands of miles. Come, come, please sit down. I didn't go out to greet you when you came yesterday. It's just that our General Su came back and I really couldn't spare the time."
Of course Zoe understood what the old emperor meant. General Su was a very capable general. He had been stationed at the border for more than ten years and had never been invaded by Japanese pirates. Although everyone knew the difficulties involved, he still admired General Su very much.
of.
Li Yuezhu looked at the people in the field through the white hood.
General Su Zhe, third prince Xiao Yan, chief assistant Zhang De, brother Li Yuelan, Zhao Chuyang, and some ministers I have never met before.
Everything that should be here is here, and I don’t know what they were discussing before.
"Now that the Dongyue envoy has arrived, let's not beat around the bush. To celebrate, our General Su has returned and is hosting a dinner party. Since you are here, you might as well join us."
When General Su returned to Beijing, even the emperor's back was hardened. He seemed to have forgotten that Bishu was a defeated country this time, and negotiations still had to be negotiated. It would never change just because a general came back.
However, His Majesty the Emperor did not seem to realize this. The Bishu Kingdom had indeed lost, but with their current general back, even if they competed again with the Dongyue Kingdom, they would not lose.
"Hahahaha, now that General Su has returned, the marriage with my little daughter should also be put on the agenda."
Some of the people present were looking at the fun, while others were indifferent, and General Su was even more expressionless.
"I hope your majesty will forgive me. Su cannot marry the eighth princess."
"Why is this?"
The old emperor had never thought about this. His daughter was young and beautiful, devoted to Su Zhe, and had a very high status. This was a marriage that many people dreamed of, so how could he refuse it at his request?
"Su already has his choice in mind, and I hope Your Majesty will make it happen."
The old emperor did not expect, Zhang De did not expect, and even Li Yuelan did not expect that Su Zhe could speak out openly in this hall.
Isn't this a slap in the face of the royal family? The eighth princess Xiaona is also an infatuated person. She has been waiting for Su Zhe for so many years, just waiting for him to come back and get married with him. After finally coming back, people say that her heart belongs to the royal family.
Where to put your face?
"General Su, I think you didn't wake up this morning? If you didn't wake up, go back and catch up on your sleep now."
The old emperor was helpless. In front of so many people, Su Zhe really didn't give him face.
"Weichen slept very well last night. Your Majesty does not need to worry. Weichen has made up his mind and will not regret it anymore. The eighth princess grew up with Weichen's childhood sweetheart. Weichen only treats her as a younger sister. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
"Su Zhe!"
The old emperor was very angry now. He wouldn't even go down the steps given to him. He insisted on losing his face. As a generation of emperors, how could he bear it?
"I have been engaged to General Li's daughter for a long time, and the engagement letter was issued two years ago. There is absolutely no possibility of regretting the engagement. No matter whether General Li's daughter is a village girl, a fool, or the actor from Goulan Courtyard, Wei Chen
I have identified her a long time ago."
Su Zhe looked at the girl in white who followed the Dongyue envoy with some strange eyes. Su Zhe grew up in the army and had excellent tracking skills. His grasp of people's physical characteristics was extremely keen. Although the girl in front of him was
His whole body was covered in white gauze, and even his fingers were not exposed, but he always felt a sense of familiarity.
It stands to reason that he had just come from the east. The journey was dusty and he had never seen Dongyue's envoy. How could he look so familiar to a little girl?
"Which General Li is General Li's daughter? You can even compare with my daughter."
The old emperor was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He insisted on hearing which General Li was so bold that he dared to compete with him for his son-in-law.
"That person is none other than my subordinate, General Li Yi."
Su Zhe said confidently: "Your Majesty may not recognize General Li, but his Majesty his son will definitely recognize him."
The old emperor didn't take it seriously at all. How could he recognize his son even if I didn't recognize him?
