Female Master: The Cold Prince

Chapter 88 The World's Ambition

"Princess, the Virtuous King, and the Chen King, please come forward."

Xiahou Shaohua ignored the suspicions of the court officials and just wanted to prevent any unnecessary incidents from happening as soon as possible.

The three of them knelt in unison in the center of the hall. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little nervous when they saw this.

Yu Suyuan looked up at the queen who was high above him, and felt a dull pain in his heart. He knew why the queen suddenly did this.

"Where is Wen Jueshang in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Xiahou Shaohua suddenly asked loudly.

Suddenly hearing his own name, Wen Jueshang frowned slightly. Without the time to think too much, he walked forward and knelt beside the three people.

"I am here, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Xiahou Shaohua glanced at him, and there was no emotion in his voice. He said, "Xian Wang, today, I want to grant you a marriage with Wen Jueshang from the Prime Minister's Mansion. As for the wedding date, you can go to Xingyuetai to choose an auspicious day."

Hearing this, Xiahou Nuanxi was completely shocked. Happiness came so suddenly that she couldn't recover for a long time.

She had been fond of that man for a long time, but ever since she was rejected that day, she had never bothered him or paid attention to him. As long as he was doing well, it was enough for her.

Some were happy and some were sad. Wen Jueshang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and instantly lost all his strength. Looking at the majestic empress, he finally closed his eyes powerlessly.

Most people felt that this scene was too unfortunate. The son of the prime minister's family was of noble status and it would be the most appropriate person to marry the princess. However, unexpectedly, he was given to the virtuous king.

Prime Minister Wen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this cannot be done. My son is already engaged. Throughout history, there has never been a precedent for a man marrying two women. I hope Your Majesty will withdraw your order!"

Xiahou Shaohua was already holding back a fire in her chest, and this was like adding fuel to the fire. Her face suddenly became terribly gloomy.

"Wen Rushuang, despite your status as a subject, you have always been by the emperor's side. I think you have been living under the emperor for too long and have completely forgotten what the relationship between an emperor and his subjects is. Stop it now!"

Don't try to fool her with the same tricks as before. You went along with her before only because she had her own plans at that time. Now, she wants to repeat the same trick. Don't even think about it!

Faced with the Queen's sudden rage, the court officials were all shocked.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

In the entire hall, everyone knelt on the ground in fear. For a moment, everyone was in panic.

"Your Majesty, I am terrified, really..." Wen Rushuang still risked her life to say. Although she was terrified in her heart, she was unwilling to back down.

"Mother!"

Wen Jueshang interrupted her at this time. He knew his mother's intention of doing this, but so what? His Majesty's decree has been issued and there is no room for maneuver. If he openly disobeys the order again, he will probably be punished.

My mother cannot bear the charge of disobeying the emperor's order, and the Prime Minister's Office cannot bear it even more.

Wen Rushuang looked at him with eyes full of heartache and said, "Shang'er."

"Mother, it is a blessing for me to be granted marriage by Your Majesty. There is no need for me to say more." His low, clear voice was tinged with sadness.

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue raised her eyes to look at him, and saw that his expression was gloomy and his eyes were dull. Then she compared him with Xiahou Nuanxi next to him. The two were in two completely different states at this moment.

One is like entering hell, the other is entering heaven.

Wen Rushuang finally sighed and said, "Ah! I will obey you as your mother wishes."

"Your Majesty, I was foolish and openly disobeyed Your Majesty's will. I hope Your Majesty will punish me."

Although Xiahou Shaohua was still angry, he was not a cold-hearted person. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the son of the Wen family had no interest in the virtuous king, and given his status, it was most appropriate for him to marry the princess.

Unfortunately, the Fengjun clan is too powerful. If a prime minister is added, it may endanger the existence of other kings.

Yue'er is not a good choice either. She already has a better candidate for Yue'er.

Thinking about it, she softened her expression and said, "Prime Minister, I will forgive you for your hard work today. Get up!"

"Yes, I thank Your Majesty for your grace." Wen Rushuang said.

Xiahou Shaohua raised her hand to let her leave, and then she looked at the civil and military officials below.

Seeing this, everyone's heart was instantly lifted again. After that, the only two people who were granted marriage were the Crown Princess and the Prince of Chen.

The two of them are evenly matched in strength, and neither of them should be underestimated. Although the princess lost power some time ago, she is still the crown prince of a country, and she has recovered her old pregnancy in just a few days.

Therefore, no matter which minister gets close to these two people, it will be a blessing to bring honor to the family.

These two are the only ones they are most optimistic about.

Xiahou Shaohua looked around at everyone, and finally asked in a dignified voice: "Where is Ji Muyan from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes flashed with disappointment, and they all looked in the direction of Ji Mansion.

I saw a young man in a light blue brocade robe stand up calmly, walk slowly and upright to the center of the hall.

"Your Majesty, I am Ji Muyan, your humble servant. I pay my respects to you." His voice was low, gentle, and full of charm.

As a qualified voice controller, Xiahou Jiuyue couldn't help but look at the man curiously.

It turned out that this man not only had a fascinating voice, but also had an amazing appearance. His face was as angular as a sculpture and extremely handsome. Under his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of dark and bright peach blossom eyes, which were full of passion and could easily make people fall for him.

Xiahou Shaohua showed satisfaction in his eyes and said, "Prince Chen, I grant you and Ji Muyan a marriage today. Young Master Ji has excellent character and will definitely become your wise wife in the future and take care of all the affairs of the mansion for you. As for the wedding date, let's set it after the beginning of spring!"

Her words were irrefutable. Upon hearing them, Xiahou Jiuyue narrowed her eyes slightly.

The wedding date was arranged so tightly, it was definitely for her.

"Your Majesty, the ancient sage said, "How can a general care about his family when the world is not at peace?"

"Now, the world is in turmoil, wars are about to break out, and the alliances between countries have long ceased to exist. On the surface, it seems calm, but in fact, it is turbulent. As General Fenglin, I should put pacifying the world first. How can I ignore the wishes of the world for my own selfish reasons?"

"I am loyal to Fenglin and my mother. I only want to conquer the world for you. I have no other intentions. I hope you will take back your order and not waste your youth."

Her passionate words about sacrificing herself for the country amazed everyone present.

Prince Chen has such ambitions at such a young age. How many people in the world today are willing to sacrifice themselves for the country and give up their own lives?

After hearing these words, Xiahou Shaohua felt so upset that she couldn't calm down for a long time. She was right about the person.

She was suddenly moved, as she knew the current situation in various countries very well. But then she changed her mind and thought that if she followed her wishes this time, it might be difficult to arrange another marriage in the future.

Then, she turned to the people below and asked, "Ji Muyan, let me ask you, in the future, if you marry the Prince of Chen, and there is a war in the country, and the Prince of Chen is needed to go out to protect the country and quell the war, then, will you feel resentful and be able to endure the loneliness?"

"I'm sure you know how cruel war is. On the battlefield, swords are merciless and life and death are unpredictable. Moreover, once the war breaks out, you two will be apart for a long time and won't see each other for at least a year or two, or even five years, or even longer."

"Are you willing?"
