The wicked female cannon fodder has arrived home

"I'll have to trouble my brother to draft an imperial decree and grant Xianyu the marriage."

"Even the nobles dare not disobey the orders of my brother the emperor."

"Humph, you actually want me to bear the name of the villain."

"Which young man do you fancy?"

Yun Jinghua's eyes flashed.

"I think Mr. Xie Wu of the General's Mansion, Xie Xiu, is quite good."

Emperor Xichuan was so angry that he laughed.

"Xie Xiu? You really dare to think about it."

His shrewd and mercenary sister is definitely eyeing the Xie family's money.

Xie Xiu was in the tobacco business, and it was no exaggeration to say that he made a fortune every day.

One can imagine what the purpose of choosing Xie Xiu was.

They are trying to take advantage of the Xie family.

But this only works if the Xie family is happy about it.

Moreover, the purpose of Xie Xiu's business was to feed the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Xie family in the military camps on the outskirts of the city.

The defense of the imperial city depends on these 100,000 Xie family troops.

Even if the Xie family was willing, he would still not be happy.

How could he allow anyone to use the Xie family's military pay to fill the hole in Zhaoyang's family?

Zhaoyang is simply a bottomless pit that can never be filled.

"Brother, I am thinking about this for your sake."

"Once we have a closer relationship with the Xie family, it will be very beneficial to our royal family."

"I think this is good for you, so I can fill your hole!"

"If you were to fill your stomach with all the money earned by the fifth son of the Xie family, what would you let the 100,000 Xie family soldiers in the suburbs eat and drink?"

"Don't worry about the Xie family. I will take care of Xianyu's marriage."

The Min family is a money-eating beast. If Min Xianyu were placed in any family, they would be hated.

This matter is indeed a bit difficult to handle.

Emperor Xichuan was also worried.

Such troublesome matters would be discussed with Queen Ji Xunyan.

Ji Xunyan has been ill and bedridden since she was scolded by Jin Tiantian at the banquet.

There was still a sickly paleness on his face.

"Yan'er, what should I do about Xianyu's matter?"

Ji Xunyan curled the corners of her mouth.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Dongqing intends to form a friendly alliance with Xichuan through marriage."

"How about marrying Xianyu to Dongqing?"

"Although Lan'er and the third prince of Dongqing cannot be together forever, Xianyu can be married to another prince of Dongqing."

"In this case, even if Zhaoyang has other ideas, he can't go to Dongqing. He is so far away that he can't count on his son-in-law."

"As for the dowry, it will come from the palace, and I will also contribute some money, which can be regarded as solving a problem for Zhaoyang."

Emperor Xichuan nodded thoughtfully.

"That's a good idea."

"But she can marry to Beiliang. Previously, the relationship between Princess Beiliang and Long'er fell through. What a pity."

"Although Beiliang seems to be at peace on the surface, they have not yet reached the point where they have no grudges against our country. I do not want to start a war again and make the people living on the border miserable."

"It would be a wonderful thing if we could eliminate the chaos of war!"

"How about marrying Xianyu to the Third Prince of Beiliang? What do you think, Yan'er?"

Ji Xunyan smiled slightly.

"So, very good."

……

"What? My uncle wants me to marry that Beiliang hostage?"

"I do not want it!"

"He has no power or influence, he's just an unpopular prince, what good will it be for me to marry him?"

Upon hearing this, Min Xianyu almost went berserk and couldn't even maintain her pretended calmness.

"Mother, I don't want to marry the powerless Third Prince of Beiliang. What else does he have except a pretty face?"

"If I really follow him, won't I be laughed at to death by the circle of noble ladies in the imperial city?"

Yun Jinghua frowned, feeling extremely reluctant.

What benefits can you get from marrying the third prince of Beiliang?

The third prince of Beiliang was brought to Xichuan early on and became a hostage.

There must be no place for him in the court of Beiliang.

There will be no power or influence.

To put it nicely, he is a prince of a country, but to put it practically, isn't he just a powerless and useless prince?

Since she is going to marry the Prince of Beiliang, why not marry the Second Prince Rong Qian?

At least he has status and position. In Beiliang, he not only controls a certain amount of financial resources, but also a certain amount of power in the court.

He is a royal merchant and a good candidate for a son-in-law who has the potential to become emperor.

Once her daughter marries into the family, she can live a life of extravagance.

No need to worry about financial matters anymore.

Moreover, it is said that the Crown Prince of Beiliang has been deposed, so it is now the turn of the Second Prince to become the Crown Prince.

The second prince will be the emperor in the future.

Although it is not absolute, the general trend is correct. At least there is a chance for him to ascend the throne and become emperor.

"Mother is naturally not happy with this kind of marriage, but it's not our turn to be picky."

"Your uncle is extremely reluctant to arrange this marriage for you."

"I dare not say much in front of your uncle."

Min Xianyu burst into tears.

"Mother, I don't want to marry that useless Third Prince. What should I do? Once my uncle issues an order, my life will be over. I won't have the chance to say no."

"Mother, can you please ask my uncle for help?"

"I want to marry someone else, even if it's someone of lower status, at least someone with real power. Otherwise, my life will be so difficult in the future!"

"No wealth and no power."

"Mother, are you going to watch me being pushed into the fire pit?"

Yun Jinghua frowned and hesitated.

"This……"

**

"What? Mother, you said... Father wants to marry cousin Xianyu to the Third Prince of Beiliang?"

Do not!

No!

This is absolutely not okay.

The one who will become Rong Yin’s wife in the future is her, Yun Lan!

She and Rong Yin had made a private promise to be together for life.

"Mother, Rong Yin cannot marry cousin Xianyu."

What would she do if Rong Yin married Min Xianyu?

Originally, she hadn't planned to tell everyone that she liked Rong Yin.

She always felt that the time was not right, but now she had no time to delay any longer.

If you delay any longer, it’s not that the time is not ripe, but that the man you dream of will become someone else’s.

She didn't expect that the marriage would come so early.

So soon, Rong Yin’s marriage has been put on the agenda.

If negotiations are made with the Emperor of Beiliang and the two countries issue an imperial decree, the marriage will be set in stone.

She must stop it before her father issues an order.

"Mother, please help me. I have never asked you for anything in my life. Can you please help me? I don't want Rong Yin to marry another woman."

"I like Rong Yin. He is the man I want to marry in my life."

"How could the emperor arrange the man I love for my cousin Xianyu?"

Ji Xunyan was stunned and shocked, and even couldn't believe it.

"Lan'er, you...actually like him? How could you like him?"
