Quick Transmigration: A money-loving man meets a boy who gives away money!

Chapter 48: The Greedy Fox vs. the Princess of Great Chu (18)

In the court, the Five Princes' Party emerged as a new force, and many neutral or wavering officials took sides.

At that time, the entire Great Chu gradually split into three factions: the Third Prince Chu Xiong's faction, which included the entire Central and Southern aristocracy with Concubine De as the bond; the Right Prime Minister and his old Shengjing clan headed by the Second Prince Chu Sheng; and the many poor children who had taken exams and the eldest princess headed by the Fifth Prince!

As for the remaining princes, the oldest is the Ninth Prince, who is only eleven years old and has no competitive edge.

Chu Xiong recovered from his injuries while being held under house arrest by Chu Jiangli in Yongzhou, but his right foot was still a little unsteady. He looked viciously at Chu Jiangli, who was a woman but was allowed to attend court as an exception by his father.

He wants her to live a life worse than death!

"Your Majesty! Timur, the king of the Xiongnu outside the Great Wall, sent people to our dynasty. His king wants to marry my Great Chu princess! To establish an friendly relationship between Qin and Jin!" Zhang Ke, the Minister of Rites who came from a southwestern noble family, stood up and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the court suddenly became quiet, and many officials glanced at Chu Jiangli with a gloating look in their eyes.

There is only one princess of marriageable age left in the Great Chu... and she is almost eighteen years old.

General Chu walked at a leisurely pace, looking steadily towards the stage, and his eyes met the emperor's, which contained loyalty, filial piety and sadness.

"Father! As a woman of the royal family, I should share the worries of the country and father. The Xiongnu are ambitious and growing stronger day by day. The northwest is frequently disturbed. If I can exchange my life for the peace of the people, Zhaoyang is willing to marry!

But! The Xiongnu king of the northwest married my Princess Fanli and ceded two cities to establish a thirty-year peace, but it was broken in just three years. Later, he married Princess Xiahe and ceded three cities for about twenty years, and he broke the oath that year! "

I only hope that after I leave the pass, you will prepare your troops, command your troops and review your generals, and protect the land and mountains of Chu!" The Chu generals cried and bled, all for the sake of sharing the country's worries.

With a move of retreating to advance, the censor who was about to make a remonstrance stopped.

The emperor, who looked haggard and sick, looked at the princess below the stage, then at the officials who were whispering to each other and making mixed looks, patted his chair and said in a deep voice, "Zhaoyang is the eldest princess of our Great Chu.

Do any of you princes have princesses of the right age?"

The first sentence blocked the way of sending Chu Jiangli to marry, and the second half made several princes in the hall suffer, and they all glared at the Minister of Rites hatefully!

……

After the court session, General Li of Chu was extremely nervous. She knew that the emperor kept her because he did not want the court to be controlled by his sons, but the matter of the Huns was not over yet.

Before the Xiongnu of each dynasty prepared to move south, they would always test the Chu Kingdom by asking to marry its princess. This way they could extort a generous dowry and they could have a good year to train their soldiers.

Secondly, if the dynasty agreed easily, it would mean that there was internal chaos, the emperor was weak, and the people lacked courage.

The previous emperor reigned for twenty-three years and lost eleven cities, and most of the northwest was about to be conquered by the fortresses inside the Great Wall.

With those eleven cities and endless resources, plus more than a decade of recuperation, the Xiongnu's ambitions were unprecedentedly huge.

Chu Jiangli was invited to stay for dinner. At the table, the emperor picked up food for his daughter for the first time in his life. His pupils were a little cloudy and his face was pale.

Looking at her favorite broccoli in the bowl, she calmly picked it up and put it into her mouth.

This is a plant from the northwest. When my mother was alive, she would always receive it from General Ning and Major General Ning at the border. It has a crisp taste and a northwest flavor.

Chu Jiangli had never eaten it since his mother died. Unexpectedly, one day it would be put into the emperor's bowl.

“Jiang Li, your mother gave you this name in the hope that you would be separated from the Ning family. This way, you can become my little princess who I love wholeheartedly and grow up without worries under the imperial power and wealth.” When the emperor spoke of his first wife, there was nostalgia and longing in his eyes, but at the same time, there was more deep fear.

He was testing Chu Jiangli, wanting to know whether the child born by that woman was the same as her. It was really worrying!

Chu Jiangli lowered his eyebrows and said, "Father, I was still very young when my mother passed away. Now I have no memory of her."

The emperor did not respond and continued to tell the story about Ning Wei in his mind.

He was the seventh child in the family and his mother's family was weak, so the throne was not originally his. If he had not met Ning Wei, he might have been just a prince living a carefree life now.

But when Shang Linye took a startled glance, he realized that the person riding the white horse with a red tassel might not be a handsome young man, but could also be a woman in red. The young man could never forget the red dress.

In order to pursue Ning Wei, Chu Nanye began to show his edge and gradually embarked on a path of losing himself.

Until he finally married the beauty he had always dreamed of.

When he hugged Ning Wei, what he thought of at that moment was the supreme confidence that the Ning family's 300,000 military power gave him, but there was no longer that kind of passionate love.

He became the emperor and Ning Wei became the queen, but she wanted too much, was willful and domineering, had no manners or manners, and would always go to the northwest to threaten him.

How could an emperor be controlled by a woman, so he ignored her, neglected her, and kept her under house arrest until the red flowers he picked with his own hands turned into spring mud and fell into the earth.

The best chess piece to control the Ning family army is gone, but fortunately, they still have a child, Chu Jiangli.

As long as she is alive, Northwest can still be controlled, and he will never let this chess piece escape his control.

General Chu left the palace. This meal had never been so disgusting to her. As soon as the carriage left the palace, she couldn't stop dry heaving and vomited out all the little food she had eaten!

Chu Nanye is crazy.

There is never any young love in the story, let alone a fleeting glance!

The sixteen-year-old girl in red clothes and riding a fiery horse was thoroughly investigated before she returned to Shengjing!

Rumors spread in Shanglin at night, a beauty saved a hero in the wild hunting ground, and a forced marriage was forced at the Qionghua banquet...

He was the most despicable bug in the gutter, showing his weakness and gnawing on flesh and blood unscrupulously.

After Chu Jiangli finished vomiting, he took the tea handed over by Qingyu, calmed himself down and said, "Stop the car!"

The carriage arrived in front of the fox den and knocked on the door.

"Your Highness? Why are you here?"

"Let me see you..."

Yu Ci opened her eyes wide and opened her hands in panic, not daring to touch the princess who came to "bump" her. But because she was off guard against her, she was hugged tightly.

"Your Highness, have you eaten?"

"Never."

"So do you want to stay for a home cooked meal?"

"it is good."

Yu Ci was embarrassed and annoyed. How could this person not understand her hidden meaning? Wasn't she just being polite? Why didn't he go back to the princess's mansion to eat? Why was he staying here with her?

Although she thought so in her heart, she slowly lowered her open hands and gently patted the thin back, just like the person who had been comforted by her gentle hands at the roadside stall.

Chu Jiangli secretly curled up a smile of success, she was indeed the heir of Chu Nanye. Even if she hated and despised her, she was still good at capturing the person she needed.

And surprisingly similar.

It turns out that foxes are soft-hearted and do not respond to hard things.

After this meal, she couldn't stop and Chu Jiangli even wanted to turn the fox den into her own dining hall.

Yu Ci was very distressed. Why did Chu Jiangli change his personality? His previous aloof and cold appearance completely disappeared, and he became a scoundrel who ate for free every day!

Every time I found an excuse to refuse, she would show a heartbroken expression and become even more fragile.

Fortunately, she only showed up to eat and went back to work immediately after eating.
