428 Threat

"Your Majesty, calm down. Please listen to Ning Que's words." After a pause, Ning Que said, "At today's banquet, Ning Que saw the demeanor of the noble lady of Da Yue. As the prince of Beiyan, I think that the noble daughter of Beiyan Slightly inferior."

Emperor Xuanzheng twitched the corners of his lips, not paying attention to Ning Que's compliment.

"I don't know if Your Majesty has ever heard a saying that you only take one scoop of three thousand weak waters to drink. Every noble lady has her own style, but none of them are destined for Ning Que."

Emperor Xuanzheng raised his eyebrows and waited for the next sentence.

He didn't believe it, Ning Que had prepared so much, and it was over.

Sure enough, Ning Que said again: "Earlier, Ning Que fell in love with a woman on the streets of Shangjing, and his love was already deep. Please also believe in Ning Que's sincerity in asking for a noble girl from Da Yue. His Majesty decreed a marriage for Ning Que."

After finishing speaking, Ning Que knelt down.

Emperor Xuanzheng frowned as he watched this extremely familiar scene.

It was the same with Jiaorong back then, but today, Ning Que repeated the same old tune...

Emperor Xuanzheng had a faint guess in his mind, and asked lightly: "Which family's daughter is so unlucky to be favored by Prince Beiyan?"

Ning Que pretended that he didn't hear the word "unlucky", "I also ask Your Majesty to give Ning Que a marriage."

"Your words are interesting. Don't say who the daughter is, but let me marry you blindly. This marriage is all about mutual affection. If it's just Prince Beiyan's wishful thinking, if I don't know anything about it, , Blindly bestowing a marriage, wouldn't it harm the other girl?"

Emperor Xuanzheng could not be fooled by Ning Que, said coolly.

Ning Que didn't show off anymore, his cheeks were slightly red, and his brows were full of affection, "Ning Que's sweetheart is the Second Miss of Ye Mansion."

Second Miss Ye Mansion?
Emperor Xuanzheng didn't think about it for a while, but Guo Yuan reminded him, "Your Majesty, you are Miss Ye Er, the granddaughter of General Zhen Guo."

Speaking of Qi Jiren, Emperor Xuanzheng knew it.

Bang!
"Ning Que, you are so brave. How dare you covet my daughter-in-law? Do you, Beiyan, think that I, Da Yue, must negotiate peace with you?"

Ning Que knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. As far as Ning Que knows, Second Miss Ye is not married, and she is still in her boudoir. How can she become His Majesty's daughter-in-law?"

Emperor Xuanzheng sneered, "You brothers and sisters are really good at it. A brother who likes others keeps saying that his innocence has been tarnished by him. Now, you, an elder brother, has taken a fancy to someone else's younger sister. I can't see you brothers and sisters. Little Jiujiu?"

"Today I will tell you that my Da Yue has tens of thousands of daughters, anyone can do it, but my daughter-in-law can't. Whether you, Beiyan, fight or make peace, I and Da Yue will accompany you to the end!"

Ning Que still knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please calm down. If Your Majesty is worried about brother marrying sister or sister marrying brother, Ning Que will make the decision for Jiao Rong today. As long as Your Majesty agrees with Ning Que and Second Miss Ye, Jiao Rong will leave Da Viet tomorrow." Go back to Beiyan."

"What if I don't allow it?"

Ning Que smiled, "Father entrusted all the marriage between Ning Que and Jiaorong to His Majesty, so His Majesty should help one of our brothers and sisters, right?"

Emperor Xuanzheng smiled instead of anger, "What if I don't allow it?"

"Your Majesty, when the war started, it was the people who suffered. Presumably, no matter whether it is the people of Beiyan or the people of Dayue, they don't want to see the flames of war that have just been extinguished rekindled?"

"Ha! Are you threatening me?"

"Ning Que dare not, Ning Que is just telling the truth!"

……

"Your Highness, Director Guo is here, His Majesty declares you to enter the palace quickly."

Director Hai hurried in.

When Wei Yun heard this, a deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

Today the palace set up a grand banquet for Ning Que to choose a concubine, and at this time, the emperor sent Mr. Guo, and the matter may cause another disturbance.

Thinking about it, he went to the inner hall and changed his clothes.

On the way into the palace, Guo Yuan told Wei Yun verbatim what Ning Que had asked for according to Emperor Xuanzheng's instructions.

After hearing this, Wei Yun got out of the carriage with a sullen face, snatched Nan Feng's horse, and walked into the palace first with a whip.

"Father."

Closing his eyes and meditating, Emperor Xuanzheng heard the voice and opened his eyes, "You are here, did Guo Yuanke tell you all about it?"

Wei Yun nodded, "Beiyan has identified the Qi family."

Emperor Xuanzheng squeezed his forehead, "That's right, either Jiaorong should marry Ye Cibai, or Ning Que should marry Ye Chaoge, otherwise, the people will panic when the war breaks out, he is clearly threatening me!"

Either one is allowed, or one is not.

For the former, whether Jiao Rong is married to Ye Cibai or Ning Que is married to Ye Chaoge, everyone is happy.

And the latter...

Emperor Xuanzheng's eyes turned cold.

He will announce this matter to the public, so that the people of Dayue will be in chaos first, and once the people are in chaos, he will be forced to make a choice.

The common people are simple, they will never want to see the flames of war, in their view, this is a problem that can be solved by sacrificing one Ye Cibai or Ye Chaoge.

I have to say, Ning Que is a scheming person!

No matter which one he chooses, Bei Yan will succeed!
"Father, this matter must not be agreed, not to mention the affection between the minister and the song, just because of his threat, you can't just let it go, otherwise, the blood of the soldiers who died in the previous battle between the two countries, wouldn't they be in vain? !"

Emperor Xuanzheng nodded, "I will not agree. Letting you enter the palace at this time is not for you to compromise, but for a total of one or two, how to deal with this matter, and how to solve it."

Emperor Xuanzheng was not confused, he knew very well the reason why Beiyan held on to the two siblings of the Ye family, once one of them was sacrificed, Qi Jiren would be constrained, and even swallowed by Beiyan's princess or prince.

Once Qi Jiren fell, Da Yue would sooner or later be in Bei Yan's pocket.

Perhaps, Ning Que's threat, in the eyes of ordinary people, was something that could be solved by sacrificing Ye Chaoge or Ye Cibai, but he knew very well that it was not that simple.

It was Qi Jiren that Beiyan focused on at the beginning!
……

In the evening, while eating, someone from the palace came, and Xuan Qi Jiren entered the palace.

The moment the palace visitor Xuan Qi Jiren entered the palace, Ye Chaoge frowned fiercely.

The bad premonition from before lingered in my heart again.

After eating absent-mindedly, Ye Chaoge didn't care to gossip with Qi Shi, and hurried back to his yard.

"Hongmei, why don't you go to the East Palace..."

"Miss, what happened?" After Hongmei left, Hongchen asked tentatively.

Ye Chaoge shook his head, "I don't know, but I don't feel very good."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking and waited with restraint.

About half an hour later, Hongmei came back.

"Miss, His Highness entered the palace an hour ago, and Nanfeng didn't know what happened. He only said that His Majesty sent Mr. Guo, who was by his side, to invite someone from the East Palace in person."

"Nanfeng asked the servant to pass on the message. If the young lady is worried, he holds a few eyeliners in the palace."
