Female Master: The Cold Prince

After listening to Xiahou Yan's words, the Queen's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

"Okay, Prince Duan and Minister of Revenue, please listen to my order."

"My son is here."

"I'm here." The two men knelt down.

"Tomorrow at noon, the two of you will escort 100,000 dan of grain to Huihe County. There must be no mistake." said the Queen.

"My son, I accept the decree."

"Wei Chen accepts the order."

Xiahou Nuanxi looked at this scene and found it extremely dazzling. She clenched her hands unconsciously at her sides, with the tips of her four fingers digging into her palms, completely unaware of the pain.

Xiahou Jiuyue kept an eye on Xiahou Nuanxi quietly. After not seeing her for one day, she seemed like a different person.

His desireless, cold and indifferent temperament had long disappeared at this moment, leaving only a hostile aura.

It is really sad to see a stern flower on the mountaintop fall into the abyss. Xiahou Jiuyue feels deeply sorry.

After the morning court, in Yuqing Palace.

"What! You're going to provide disaster relief?" Lian Cejun said in disbelief.

"No, you can't go!" he stopped her.

"Why not? Father, could you please not be so short-sighted. Besides, the Queen Mother has already issued an order, and my son's departure is a foregone conclusion. Father, there is no need to say more." Xiahou Yan said with an unhappy look on his face.

"Yan'er, your father is worried about you. I heard that the victims there are so unreasonable and unruly that even the government can't do anything about it. What can you do?"

"Just because the local government doesn't have that ability doesn't mean I don't have that ability either! Father, you underestimate me too much." She retorted with disdain.

"Even if you have that ability, what about the hidden dangers? Have you ever thought about it?"

When he heard that his daughter was leaving the capital, he couldn't calm down at all.

"so what!"

If you are so afraid of death, what are you planning for the future? Wouldn't it be better to just be a free and easy prince for the rest of your life?

"What? If you are in danger, what do you want me to do?" As he said this, his eyes turned red with anxiety.

Seeing this, Xiahou Yan had to slow down her speech and slowly tell him her thoughts.

"Father, looking around the court now, it is only the Crown Princess and the Fourth Sister who control the power. I am alone and weak, so I have to build connections for myself."

"And what the eldest sister did today was already a plan, so how could I fall behind her?"

"Therefore, this trip is very important to me. Father, you must believe in me. I will definitely return safely."

By then, as long as she returns safely, the title of Prince Duan will be further elevated.

No matter how powerful the Crown Princess and the Prince are, as long as she can win the hearts of the people, she can still fight her way out.

As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

As long as everyone supports her and loves her, she doesn't believe that the Queen Mother can still choose to turn a blind eye.

Even though Lian Cejun was extremely reluctant, he had no choice. Since he had chosen this path, he should go on regardless of the consequences.

At noon the next day, Prince Duan and the Minister of Revenue led a group of people and set off towards Huihe County.

Lian Cejun stood on the balcony, looking at the figure walking away, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

"Alright, Yan'er is going to provide disaster relief. She's not going to come back. It's not proper for her to cry in front of all the officials!" the Queen scolded unhappily.

"Your Majesty, I am just reluctant to leave, so I shed tears." Lian Cejun explained with tears in his eyes.

"Go back to the palace." The Queen said impatiently.

She really didn't want to see him look so disgraceful, so she turned around and left resolutely.

The remaining officials looked at each other in bewilderment. They dared not say anything and could only catch up with the Queen.

Seeing this, Lian Cejun felt extremely aggrieved. It was bad enough that His Majesty ignored him, but these petty officials dared to ignore him like this and didn't even say a word of comfort.

He was really pissed off. After his daughter came back, he would deal with these opportunistic villains.

Half a month later, the envoys from the Yuxia Kingdom who came to the Fenglin Dynasty finally arrived in the capital.

The Empress sent the Minister of Rites Pei Yao to be in charge of the reception. Led by Pei Yao, the delegation stayed in an inn in the city and took a short rest.

A few days later, the queen held a banquet in the palace.

In the center of the hall, a man was twisting his waist and turning in circles delicately. The dance was extremely beautiful, unlike the common soft dance that people are familiar with. Coupled with the man's stunning face, everyone was intoxicated by him.

The only exception was that Xiahou Jiuyue was bored and drinking alone, showing no interest throughout the whole process.

After the dance, the man slowly stepped forward and bowed to the queen.

“Prince Yuxia, although your dance is not as soft as my Fenglin’s, it is also shocking.” The Queen praised.

"Your Majesty, this dance was created by Muchen using the dances between the two countries, and it symbolizes the good relations between the two countries." said Zhongli Muchen, the prince of Yuxia.

"Your Majesty, in order to allow the Phoenix Emperor to put aside past grudges, my emperor hopes that the two countries can conclude a marriage, so he specially sent our country's fifth prince to come for marriage."

"In addition, our country is willing to offer five cities as a token of sincerity. We only hope that the two countries can become allies from now on, and the people of the two countries will no longer suffer from the pain of war and displacement." said Zhong Liyue, the prince of Yuxia Kingdom.

"!!!" The officials of Fenglin State were stunned.

Five cities! What a big deal!

"I appreciate the Emperor Yu's kindness. Princess Zhongli, when you return, please tell the Emperor Yu that our country is willing to form an alliance with Yuxia and become sister countries." said the Queen.

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, Mu Chen has an unreasonable request. I hope Your Majesty can fulfill it." Zhongli Mu Chen suddenly said.

"Oh? Prince Zhongli, please feel free to speak."

"Your Majesty, Zhongli wants to choose a wife for himself. I hope Your Majesty will help."

After saying this, he glanced casually at the indifferent Prince Chen.

"Mu Chen, don't be rude!" Zhongli Yue said in shock.

The Queen looked at him with scrutiny in her eyes, and when she saw that there was no fear in his eyes, she immediately became interested.

"I wonder what kind of wife Prince Yuxia wants to choose for himself?" the Queen asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, the prince was able to defeat our army of hundreds of thousands. He is truly a man of unparalleled wisdom and courage."

"When Mu Chen was young, she made a vow that she would marry a man of unparalleled wisdom and courage. Now, Mu Chen has met that man. I hope Your Majesty will grant her wish." Zhongli Mu Chen said with a slightly blushing face.

The Queen looked at Xiahou Jiuyue beside her and saw that she was indifferent and didn't even glance at the prince.

The smile on Feng Jun's face froze instantly. The Queen was slow to respond, probably because she had some concerns.

"Your Majesty, if you can fulfill my wish, our country is willing to offer you five more cities!" Zhongli Yue said for his younger brother.

"!!!" There was an uproar all around.

Is this Prince Yuxia crazy?

Five cities are already terrifying enough, and now there are five more, plus the five just now, there will be a total of ten cities!

Throughout the dynasties, no country has ever been so generous.

Even the queen, as a ruler, was shocked, but it was undeniable that she was moved.

She knew very well what the ten cities meant.

Zhongli Muchen was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the imperial sister would support him so much.

At this point Xiahou Jiuyue finally had to face the fact that if it was just a marriage, it would definitely not be her turn.

But now, with five cities acting as a medium, everything is uncertain.
