You don’t know if you don’t read. The royal family was shocked after reading the mind.

As the prince's wedding banquet got closer, envoys from Zhao and Lu also came.

From the State of Zhao came Lang Botao, an important minister, and a second prince who was not very favored - Zhao Yi.

From the Kingdom of Lu came the general: Pu Tairan and the second princess, Lu Jiayan.

In recent years, the relationship between Zhao and Lu has been relatively close.

The princes and princesses of the two countries knew each other, but there was no marriage.

Everyone knows what it means to have a prince and a princess come this time.

If they can get married, it might be possible to ensure the short-term peace of Xiao country.

If not, if the two countries unite, even if Xiao State has a strong military, it will still need to spend a lot of manpower and financial resources to resist.

As Xiao Lin got older, he no longer had the fighting spirit he had before.

Naturally, if things can be solved through marriage, they don't want to resort to fighting.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor was discussing this matter with his ministers.

"Everyone knows what it means to have a prince from the Zhao Kingdom and a princess from the Lu Kingdom. If you have any good suggestions, please tell them."

"Your Majesty, marriage is naturally the best way. Now that the world is peaceful and peaceful, no one wants to have another war."

"Marriage is only a temporary stabilization method. Zhao and Lu are very ambitious. Even if they marry, they may not let go of Xiao's territory. Sooner or later there will be a war. Our army has a solid foundation. Only unification can eliminate our worries."

"Master Yan, if that's the case, then you're going to fight?"

"A war has its own warriors. If I let my own officers fight, what will the generals be used for?"

Civil servants have the function of civil servants.

"You can't say that. Mr. Yan has never fought in a war. How do you know how difficult it is to fight!"

"You have never been a civil servant, and you don't know the hardships of being a civil servant!"

Naturally, there are factions in the DPRK and China.

Some factions advocate peace, and some factions advocate war.

No one is right or wrong, it can only be said that each has different interests.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin understood that the discussion would yield no results.

He waved away the officials with some disinterest.

Now the only princesses and princes of the right age in the palace are Xiao Ye'er and Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Yifei holds an army, so naturally he cannot use it for marriage.

It’s impossible to go anywhere.

Xiao Yifei's marriage would be to find a family with a lower family background and marry a sensible girl. In short, it was absolutely impossible for someone like Yin Qinglian.

Xiao Lin would not train a rival for the throne for the prince.

Even though he now has many bloodlines, there has always been only one heir to the throne - Xiao Yitu.

Now he knew exactly where the children were thinking.

Xiao Yifei focused on the frontier and wanted to protect his family and country.

Xiao Yifeng wouldn't go into details. If there wasn't an intelligence center to manage, he would probably be away from home every day, not knowing where to go.

Some of the other young princes have been taught by their concubines to behave in a low-key manner and do things in a high-profile manner, for fear that he would not see them.

No matter how great the difficulty was, it passed four years ago.

Everything after that is nothing.

In the past two years, Xiao Lin has no more nightmares.

"Go and call Feng'er over." Xiao Lin thought for a while and added: "Call Fei'er too. The prince is currently busy with the wedding. Don't let him be busy with such matters as receiving foreign ministers. "

Avoid extraneous problems.

It is most suitable for Xiao Yifeng to receive foreign ministers.

The third son's style of doing things is to tell the truth and not give anyone face.

If people from Zhao and Lu want to cause trouble, Xiao Yifeng will definitely let them know why the flowers are so red.

In the past few years, Xiao Lin has gotten used to his third son's style of doing things. If one day he becomes gentler, he will really not get used to it.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Rong turned and left.

@@@@

In the Ruyi Palace, Concubine Ru finally saw her son whom she had not seen for a long time and scolded, "Are your wings stiff now? You ignored my orders when you became a deputy general! I asked you to come to Ruyi Palace to see me, but you actually He ran away halfway!"

Xiao Yifei explained: "At that time, the prince asked the child to drink."

Concubine Ru snorted coldly, "Drinking? Can't you come over after drinking? Why do you want to spend the night in Jingyang Palace? The two brothers, the prince and Xiao Yifeng, were afraid that you would seize the throne and deliberately led you astray. You are really as stupid as a pig. You have to step in.”

"The child has not gone astray," Xiao Yifei insisted, "the child has the ability to distinguish."

Concubine Ru raised her hand and wanted to slap Xiao Yifei, but was interrupted.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Rong said that Your Majesty would like to invite the Second Prince to visit the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Concubine Ru held back her raised hand.

She slowly put down her hand, "Your father should have asked you to be the receptionist to receive the princesses and princes of Lu and Zhao. You must perform well this time and try to marry the princess of Lu, you know!"

Marrying a princess means that her son has a certain amount of power behind her.

It’s hard to say who will win the throne in the future.

After all, the emperor is now in good health. Maybe when Xiao Yitu turns thirty, he won't have the chance to ascend the throne.

When Xiao Yifei's wings are full, it will be easy to seize the throne.

Concubine Ru was unwilling to be just a concubine.

Over the years, she has worked hard without any merit, but His Majesty did not even give her the position of a noble concubine!

Xiao Yifei refused: "I only want Awen to be alone and will not marry another wife. Concubine, you should give up these unrealistic ideas!"

After saying that, he left before Concubine Ru could continue to curse.

Concubine Ru looked at Xiao Yifei's back and was so angry that she swept all the jewelry on the table to the ground.

"Unfilial son!"

On the way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xiao Yifei met Xiao Yifeng coming from the other way.

"Third brother, did my father call you too?"

With the Third Emperor's brother here, he felt relieved.

Xiao Yifeng nodded, "Well, my father probably wants me to receive the princes and princesses of Zhao and Lu."

【What’s there to welcome? 】

[The princess named Lu Jiayan had an affair with the general who was escorting her all the way. The two of them were not innocent and wanted to take advantage of the second emperor brother. 】

Xiao Yifei: "..."

[There is also the prince of the Zhao Kingdom. No one cares about him in the Zhao Kingdom. He is always bullied and his life is even worse than that of the second emperor brother. He came here just for refuge, not for marriage at all.]

[I don’t know who has bad ears, so I just spread it randomly. 】

Xiao Yifei: "..."

It seems that Zhao and Lu are not sincere at all!

"Here we come," Xiao Lin smiled with satisfaction when he saw his two outstanding sons.

The two brothers said in unison: "My sons and ministers will see my father."

"Excuse me. I'm asking you to come this time. You should have guessed what's going on, right?"

"Father, please make it clear."

[Father, please stop being so secretive. It is impossible for the second prince to marry Princess Lu, and it is impossible for me to treat the princes and princesses of these two countries in a good manner. If they offend me, I will let them walk away without finishing their meal! 】

Xiao Lin: "..."

Although, can you save some face?
