After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

The fifth princess knew that the third prince of Xiliu would propose to her father, but in order to avoid getting married, she actually had an affair with her own young guard, without caring about the reputation of the royal family at all!

Although the matter had been handed over to Concubine Hui to handle herself, as the highest authority in the imperial court, he was naturally unhappy!

"Tomorrow, let's see what the Third Prince of Xiliu is planning. Ever since Huiren recovered from his injury, why has he been fighting with Marquis Xin'an? Every day when they meet, they are like black-eyed chickens, always quarreling for no reason..."

When Eunuch Ming heard this, he lowered his eyebrows and smiled pleasantly, and his voice couldn't help but tremble:

"Your Majesty, I just heard something yesterday. The people from the Imperial Hospital treated the young master's injuries a while ago. I heard that the young master was poisoned and the poison entered his heart. They finally saved him, but unfortunately..."

Speaking of this, Eunuch Ming seemed to have something to hide and was reluctant to continue!

Emperor Li Zong snorted coldly: "You dog slave, you are still hesitant to speak. Is there anything you can't say in front of me?"

Eunuch Ming then continued to speak awkwardly:

"I heard that the young master had lost the ability to reproduce, and he was thinking of some crooked ways. He heard that the eldest daughter of the river in the Bei'an Marquis's mansion was pregnant, so he set his eyes on her. I heard that on the day of the birth of the child, he ran to her yard and was beaten up by the Xing'an Marquis and his son!"

Emperor Li Zong was interested when he heard this and stood up: "There is such a thing? But which imperial physician said that Huiren could not have an heir? It seems that the Imperial Hospital should also treat him!"

Eunuch Ming's face froze, and he responded carefully: "I just heard it, but I didn't see who said it!"

"You old fellow, you are still so kind-hearted. However, if Huiren wants to marry this young lady, it is feasible. Otherwise, I will grant him a marriage!"

When Eunuch Ming heard me, he hurriedly reminded me, "Go ahead, the most urgent thing is to deal with the Xiliu envoy tomorrow!"

Zichen Hall, this is where the emperor summons court officials and receives foreign envoys!

In the hall, Emperor Li Zong saw the third prince of Xiliu Kingdom, Yelu Xiongqi, for the first time. The man was eight feet tall, with leopard eyes and an eagle nose. His yellow eyes flashed an odd light like a cat's, and his hair was golden curly. He looked very tough!

He felt really uncomfortable watching this. It seemed like the Third Prince was not someone who was easy to get along with. If he really married his Fifth Princess to him, he was afraid that the child would bear a grudge against him!

"The Third Prince of Xiliu, Yelu Xiongqi, pays respect to His Majesty the Liguo!"

Yelu Xiongqi performed a state ceremony and introduced the envoys around Youjiang one by one!

"This is my prince's military advisor Yelu Wen, and this one is the scholar-official Zhuge Wei..."

Prince Duan and Prince Rui were both in the main hall, each with a calm look, as if everything had nothing to do with them!

"...Okay, I have ordered people to prepare a meal in Chaoyang Palace at noon to entertain the distinguished guests from afar. Prince Rui will take charge of the next matters!"

King Rui's face lit up with joy and he performed the full ceremony to accept the offer!

Since being defeated 20 years ago, Xiliu has been gathering strength, and has become restless again in recent years!

The reason for coming here this time was, firstly, to find out the truth, and secondly, the Third Prince felt that if he could marry a princess back home, it would be a great help!

After all, the royal family of Xiliu Kingdom is now facing internal and external troubles, and several princes are secretly competing and making their own plans to seek help for their future!

The banquet started soon. After three rounds of drinks, Yelu Xiongqi stood up, clasped his fists and saluted to Emperor Lizong, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I fell in love with your country's fifth princess at first sight. I came here today to propose marriage. I hope Your Majesty will agree to it."

Emperor Li Zong was shocked but remained expressionless. He looked at the Fifth Princess below and saw that her face was pale and her eyes were full of fear.

Upon seeing this, Prince Rui quickly stood up and said, "The Third Prince has a good eye, but for this important matter of marriage, we still need to ask the Fifth Princess for her opinion."

Yelu Xiongqi smiled and said, "Of course I am willing to respect the princess's wishes. As long as the princess agrees, I, Xiliu, am willing to marry Liguo and live together forever."

Emperor Li Zong frowned slightly. He knew that this marriage was of great importance. If it was not handled properly, it might cause disputes between the two countries. He looked at the Fifth Princess and said in a deep voice, "Old Fifth, what do you think?"

The fifth princess said in a trembling voice: "Your son...your son does not want to."

Emperor Li Zong sighed, a hint of helplessness and displeasure flashing in his eyes.

He understood his daughter's thoughts, but the current situation was pressing and he had to consider national interests.

Yelu Xiongqi's expression changed slightly, but he soon returned to his smile:

"Princess, don't worry. We can discuss the marriage slowly. I believe that with the strength of our Xiliu Kingdom, we can bring happiness to the princess."

At this time, Prince Duan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke:

"The Third Prince has come from afar, so why not stay in our country for a while first so that we can get to know each other better. As for the marriage, it won't be too late to discuss it later."

Emperor Li Zong nodded and agreed, "Prince Duan is right. The Third Prince has been exhausted from all the traveling. It would be a good idea for him to rest in the palace for a few days."

Yelu Xiongqi nodded, with a barely perceptible gloom in his eyes.

He knew that this marriage proposal would not be so smooth, but he would not give up easily. He must get the fifth princess and use the power of Liguo to ascend the throne of the emperor of Xiliu Kingdom.

After Yelu Xiongqi settled in the palace, he often looked for opportunities to get close to the Fifth Princess. The Fifth Princess was always cold to him, but she compared him with Su Mubai in her heart.

One day, the Fifth Princess ran into Su Mubai in the garden, and the two looked at each other in silence. Su Mubai looked at the Fifth Princess's haggard face, and his heart ached.

Just when he was about to speak, Yelu Xiongqi appeared. He deliberately showed his courtesy to the fifth princess in front of Su Mubai, which made Su Mubai very angry.

The fifth princess turned and left, leaving Yelu Xiongqi and Su Mubai confronting each other.

Yelu Xiongqi looked at Su Mubai provocatively and sneered: "You are just a small guard, what qualifications do you have to compete with me?"

Su Mubai clenched his fists and responded with gritted teeth: "The relationship between me and the fifth princess is not something you can understand." After saying that, he left resolutely.

Looking at Su Mubai's receding back, Yelu Xiongqi's eyes became more sinister. Looking at Su Mubai's receding back, Yelu Xiongqi's mouth curled up into a sneer.

He turned to the fifth princess who had not yet left and said gently: "See, he can't protect you at all. Only I can give you true happiness."

The fifth princess looked at Yelu Xiongqi indifferently, "I don't need you to give me happiness. I just hope you can leave the country as soon as possible."

Yelu Xiongqi's face darkened, but then he smiled again.

"Princess, why are you so heartless? I believe you will accept me one day." After saying that, he left the garden.

The fifth princess looked at the direction where Yelu Xiongqi left, her heart filled with helplessness and pain.

She knew she couldn't refuse the marriage, but she didn't know how to end it!

At this time, Su Mubai quietly returned to the Fifth Princess. "Princess, I was a little impulsive just now." Su Mubai said softly, "But my feelings for you will never change."

The Fifth Princess looked at Su Mubai with emotion, tears welling up in her eyes, "I'm afraid I'm going to let you down!"
