Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 88 Li Yunrui: Marriage? Okay! I’ll bring my own dowry!!
The palace maid kneeling not far away shuddered when she heard this, and tried to speak but stopped herself several times.

It was not until Li Yunrui became impatient and looked up that the stern look frightened the palace maid into speaking quickly.

"Your Highness, Northern Qi wants to make peace with my Qing Kingdom, and the one who wants to marry is..."

In the end, the maid still didn't dare to say it out loud.

If she said such words, she would most likely be sentenced to death by the furious Li Yunrui!
Li Yunrui paused while stirring the Tremella soup, raised his head and looked at the palace maid with cold eyes.

"It is Wan'er who wants to marry?"

"Who proposed this? Don't they know Wan'er is not in good health?"

Her voice suddenly rose, anger evident in her tone.

This obviously made her very angry.

The maid serving on the side quickly took the Tremella soup and stepped back.

Li Yunrui stood up, walked to the shivering palace maid, lifted her chin with his bare hands, and forced her to look into his eyes.

"Tell me, who proposed that Wan'er go to marry?"

"You have done a great job in reporting the news. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Just tell me. I won't blame you!"

Her tone was gentle, but her expression was cold.

Although Lin Wan'er basically doesn't recognize her as her mother, she is her own flesh and blood after all!
Some time ago, Lin Wan'er sent her a message, although it was to ask for her help.

But this also eased their somewhat stiff relationship a lot.

She was originally happy that Lin Wan'er called her mother in the letter, but now she heard the sad news that Lin Wan'er was going to marry a foreign prince!
How could she not be angry? She was so angry that she wanted to kill someone!!
The palace maid had a sad face and she didn't dare to say anything even though her chin was pinched. She just kept waving her hands and explaining in a panic.

"It's not Princess Chen. It's not the Princess who is going to marry!!"

Li Yunrui, who was filled with rage, felt his anger extinguished by half upon hearing this.

The tense nerves relaxed instantly.

As long as it’s not Lin Wan’er who goes to marry, what does anyone else have to do with her?
Li Yunrui smiled, casually helped the palace maid to tuck her hair behind her ears, then stood up and walked towards the chaise longue.

"Since it's not Wan'er, then who is going to marry?"

"Princess Jiarou? Or the daughter of some minister?"

Her tone was casual, and if you listened carefully, it sounded a little playful.

When it comes to marriage for a foreign country, no matter who goes, there's basically no return.

Once the war between the two countries resumes, those who go to marry the princesses will basically have no way to survive!

It was called a marriage alliance, but in fact it was more like a humiliation, and those princesses were treated as hostages.

So no one would want their daughter to marry a foreign prince!
She is now very curious about whose daughter is going to marry!

"Your Highness... The Queen of Northern Qi said that the princess cannot represent our sincerity in the peace talks, and specifically requested that she marry my Princess of Qing!!"

The maid's voice trembled, and she knelt even lower after she said this.

Specifically asking the princess to marry?

Li Yunrui, who had just walked to the chaise longue and was about to lie down, frowned and an absurd guess emerged in his mind.

Are there any other princesses in Qing Kingdom besides her?
Combined with the palace maid's frightened look, Li Yunrui's heart sank and the smile on his face froze.

She turned her head somewhat stiffly and looked at the palace maid without any emotion in her eyes.

"Tell me, who is the candidate for marriage?"

"Your Majesty agrees?"

In fact, she had already confirmed her guess, otherwise she would not have asked His Majesty for his consent.

But deep down in her heart she still had a little hope.

It is not reasonable for her to marry a foreign prince!
Even if Northern Qi specifically asked her to go, Emperor Qing would definitely not agree!

After all, she is in charge of the inner treasury and has a lot of say in the court. No matter how stupid Emperor Qing is, he will not let her go to marry!

But it was obvious that the palace maid was so frightened...!
"His Majesty has ordered Your Highness to transfer the power of the inner treasury to Fan Xian, the son of Si Nanbo, and to choose a day to follow the Northern Qi entourage to go for the marriage!" After the palace maid said this, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

It was obvious that he was under too much psychological pressure and was frightened to death.

The maids on both sides quickly dragged the unconscious maid away.

Li Yunrui seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant, and collapsed powerlessly on the footstool in front of the chaise longue, his expression a little dazed.

"Why would you agree?"

"How could he agree to let me marry him? What did I do wrong? Why would he do this to me?"

Seeing this, the maid hurried over and tried to help her up.

But Li Yunrui seemed to come to his senses suddenly. He shook off the maid's arm and turned to look at her.

The crazy look in her eyes frightened the maid so much that she took several steps back and almost fell to the ground.

"Get out, all of you, get out!"

Li Yunrui screamed and roared.

The maids did not dare to hesitate and quickly trotted out of the room.

In a few blinks of an eye, Li Yunrui was the only one left in the room.

After a long while, she stood up shakily and walked to the mirror like a zombie.

Looking at her own flawless face in the mirror, she suddenly smiled, and tears flowed uncontrollably as she smiled.

She didn't even try to wipe them off, just letting the tears flow down her cheeks and drip onto the dressing table.

"You don't know how to appreciate me! You will never see me! Even though I have done so much for you, you still want to abandon me!"

"To you, I am just an insignificant chess piece! I can never compare to Ye Qingmei!!"

"Come to think of it, if Ye Qingmei could be abandoned by you at will, what's the use of me being able to compare to her?"

As if he had figured something out, Li Yunrui laughed at himself.

She picked up a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and her expression gradually turned cold.

After wiping away her tears, she stood up, opened the door, and glanced coldly at the maids who were kneeling in two rows and dared not speak.

"What are you still standing here for?"

"Since you all know His Majesty's will, why don't you quickly invite the best accountants in Kyoto?"

"If you delay my time to go to the imperial court, I will turn you all into fertilizer for the flowers!!"

The palace maids trembled with fear and quickly got up to find the accountant.

Others may not know, but they know very well that the flowers and plants in the yard grow well because of the good application of fertilizers!

Only after all the palace maids had left did Li Yunrui chuckle and turn to look in the direction of the imperial palace.

There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, and even stronger hatred, a hatred that almost became tangible!
"My brother, since you are so cruel to let me marry, it is naturally impossible for you to prepare any dowry for me."

"It doesn't matter. I can prepare a generous dowry for myself!!"

"I hope you don't regret your decision!!"

She uttered the last sentence almost through gritted teeth.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince request to see you!"

A maid ran over and reported anxiously.

Li Yunrui glanced at her indifferently, then turned and walked into the house.

"I will be going to marry a princess soon. I need to sort out the accounts of the inner treasury during this time so that I can hand them over to the next person in charge of the inner treasury."

"Let them go back and don't come again."
