The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 417: Marriage is settled in negotiation 20
Yan Xiaoye is a straightforward person. She said, "I don't hate him, but I don't admire him to that extent."

"I understand what my cousin said. Since His Majesty said that Chen Hong and I are engaged, and Chen Hong has acknowledged it, and the Emperor and Prince of Jiang were also there, then I can only marry Chen Hong in this life."

"Since I have to marry him, I must know if he really likes me. If he has someone else in his heart, wouldn't it be pitiful for me to marry him?"

"And if he really has another sweetheart, I know about it in advance, so when he wants to take a concubine in the future, I won't be caught off guard and unable to accept it."

Yan Ning raised his eyebrows and thought about it carefully. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

But upon further consideration, there are still some problems.

Yan Ning asked: "Do you like Chen Hong?"

Yan Xiaoye suddenly became anxious: "No!"

Yan Ning smiled and said, "Since you don't like him, why do you care whether he has a sweetheart or a concubine?"

"If you really don't like him, you won't be unable to accept it no matter how many concubines he takes."

"The reason why you can't accept it is because you actually have him in your heart."

Yan Xiaoye frowned: "I didn't..."

Yan Ning looked at Yan Xiaoye's reaction and guessed that Yan Xiaoye actually had a good impression of Chen Hong, but this kind of affection was not enough to reach the level of love.

Or maybe Yan Xiaoye herself is ignorant. She likes Chen Hong, but she doesn't know it.

Yan Xiaoye is still young, so it is normal that she is not very smart.

But Yan Ning was still very pleased that Yan Xiaoye could think of so much.

However, Yan Xiaoye's worries were unnecessary.

Chen Hong is young, so how could he have a lover?

Although Yan Ning had nothing to do with Chen Hong and had never used his magical powers to peer into Chen Hong's heart, Yan Ning understood Chen Hong.

Chen Hong's current thoughts are the same as Yan Lang's. He only wants to achieve success in his career and has no romantic feelings.

Yan Lang has a lover, and he fights hard for her, but Chen Hong has no lover, and he fights hard for the entire Chen family.

Yan Ning trusts Chen Hong very much.

Yan Ning was very relieved that Yan Xiaoye married Chen Hong.

Yan Ning said: "You guys should handle your own affairs. I just told you to let you know about this."

Yan Xiaoye nodded.

Soon Yan Xiaoye received the token of love from the Chen family.

Chen Hong was still at the border, and this token of love was sent by Xie.

The Chen family also received the token of love sent by the Yan family.

With these two tokens of love, Chen Hong and Yan Xiaoye's relationship was settled.

But in order to prevent Uncle Jiang from having any chance to steal the girl, the two families met quickly and settled the matter once and for all.

Zhou was determined to get Yan Xiaoye into the palace, but Yan Xiaoye didn't listen to her. Now when she heard that Yan Xiaoye was going to marry Chen Hong, Zhou was not very happy about the marriage.

Even though the Chen family is prominent and Chen Hong is young and promising, compared with the king, the Chen family and Chen Hong are nothing.

Zhou wanted to object, but after reading the letter, her face changed drastically and she dared not object anymore.

The result of her opposition was that her daughter married into the State of Jiang and became a pawn in the marriage alliance.

It's about marrying into the State of Jiang and becoming the queen of Jiang, but Zhou is not stupid.

Although she was selfish, vain, and eager for her daughter to enter the palace, she was Yan Tai's wife and the daughter-in-law of the Yan family after all. She knew the grudges between the Yan family and the State of Jiang, and between the State of Qi and the State of Jiang.

The Yan family and the Jiang state will fight to the death.

The Qi State and the Jiang State were fighting to the death.

It seems that they have made peace and are no longer fighting each other, but who can guarantee that Qi and Jiang will not go to war in the future?

Once the war breaks out, her daughter will become the meat on the chopping board! No matter how vain Zhou is, she will not push her daughter into the fire pit.

Marrying Chen Hong is to save Yan Xiaoye, so how could Zhou object?

Zhou actively cooperated in arranging the engagement between the two families.

After going to the Chen family, Zhou truly experienced what it meant to be a noble family, especially Chen Kang and Xie, who were very polite and friendly to her.

Zhou's vanity was infinitely satisfied, and she was very satisfied with Chen Hong.

No matter what, the Chen family is prominent, Chen Hong is of noble status, and he is young and promising. It would be a honor for Yan Xiaoye to marry him.

The two families quickly got engaged, and the news soon spread throughout Guiyang City.

After knowing the inside story of this matter, everyone came to congratulate.

They must support His Majesty and fight against the State of Jiang and must not let the Jiang people's conspiracy succeed.

Uncle Jiang also received the list sent by Liu Guoxiang.

The one who delivered the list was Xiao Huaiguang.

After being defeated by Qi Hengyuan, Uncle Jiang and Jiang Chengchi decided to choose a girl from the Ning family for marriage.

As soon as they got the list, the two of them started looking through it.

As a result, from beginning to end, I didn’t see a girl with the surname Ning.

Uncle Jiang didn't give up and looked again, but still couldn't find it.

Jiang Chengchi also looked carefully several times, but did not see the girl from the Ning family. He was extremely angry and asked Xiao Huaiguang.

"You Qi State, do you think that we Jiang State are easy to fool and the list you gave us is incomplete?"

Xiao Huaiguang immediately said, "Your Majesty Jiang, what do you mean by this? We in Qi have compiled the list sincerely and have achieved all your requirements. The list is here, and it was compiled according to your requirements. You say this now because you think that we in Qi are easy to bully, right?"

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Chengchi fiercely.

Now Xiao Huaiguang is not afraid of the Jiang people at all.

Not to mention now, even in the past, I was not afraid.

However, Qi had been defeated in the past, so Xiao Huaiguang would not have the confidence to face the people of Jiang.

Even though they hated the Jiang people, they were still a defeated country and would feel inferior to others.

But it's different now.

If the Jiang Kingdom had not taken the initiative to seek peace, why would Your Majesty pay any attention to them?

With Qi's current prestige and strength, it is only a matter of time before it destroys Jiang.

The Jiang people must have seen this clearly, which is why they were so eager to request peace talks.

Since they have something to ask for and are still putting on airs, it would be strange if Xiao Huaiguang could indulge them!

Xiao Huaiguang glared at him, thinking that the Emperor of Jiang was deliberately looking for trouble.

And Xiao Huaiguang's last words - that he thinks our Qi State is easy to bully - clearly gave Qi State a good excuse to disrupt the peace talks.

Uncle Jiang immediately pulled Jiang Chengchi behind him, fearing that Jiang Chengchi would lose control of his temper and cause trouble.

Uncle Jiang smiled and said, "Your Majesty has no other intentions. Marquis Xiaoguan must not misunderstand. Your country is sincere, and so are we."

After hearing this, Xiao Huaiguang snorted and did not pursue the matter any further.

He was just an official, and the peace talks were a matter between two countries. No matter what secrets were involved in this matter between the two countries, it was not something he could destroy.

He glared at Jiang Chengchi angrily, simply because he could not show weakness.

Although he was just an official, when he stood in front of the people of Jiang, he represented the State of Qi.

He would never allow the people of Jiang to humiliate the State of Qi.

Seeing that the matter had been dealt with, Uncle Jiang smiled and said, "We have already seen the list. I want to meet with His Majesty the King of Qi. Please help pass on the message, Marquis Xiaoguan."
