The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

All the civil and military officials in the court as well as the concubines and princesses in the harem were looking at the door.

Soon, a man with an imposing appearance and handsome features appeared at the door. He was wearing a black robe, had a hairstyle commonly seen in TV dramas, and walked in with a folding fan in his hand.

Behind him, there were five or six men, some old, some young, but without exception, they all looked smart and capable. These were the Prince of Ye State and his envoys.

The prince of Ye State walked into the hall and bowed:

"Zhaonan has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Yin Dynasty and the Empress. Congratulations to both of you on the birth of your prince. Zhaonan has specially prepared gifts to celebrate the little prince's full moon."

After saying this, he asked the person behind him to carry out a small box.

The small box is filled with all kinds of very exquisite toys, which are obviously made by someone who is proficient in Lu Ban's mechanical engineering. The structure is complex and exquisite, and the surface is polished very smoothly, which is very suitable for children to play with.

It seems that the gift sent by the Prince of Ye State was thoughtful.

The emperor's expression softened slightly:

"The Crown Prince of Ye is very thoughtful. I accept the gift. Since you have come to congratulate me, please take a seat and have a drink together."

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Ye smiled and waved his hand:

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I am on a diplomatic mission to Dayin this time mainly for two things. The first is to congratulate the little prince on his full moon, and the second is to discuss the marriage."

"I have already done the first thing. Why don't we discuss the second thing while everyone is here?"

After hearing this, the emperor said coldly:

"Prince of Ye, today is a great day. I do not want to discuss state affairs. The marriage will be discussed in detail another day in the court. Please take a seat."

"Your Majesty, it seems that you are not in a hurry at all." The Crown Prince of Ye State ignored him and said, "The three border cities are in my hands, but Your Majesty is busy holding a full-month banquet for your son. Isn't this abandoning your own people? If Your Majesty doesn't want to talk, then I will send someone to order the massacre of a border city to congratulate the little prince. How do you think?"

"Are you threatening me?" The emperor narrowed his eyes.

"I dare not. I came to negotiate with Your Majesty with a sincere attitude." The Crown Prince of Ye said, "My conditions are very simple. I only want a princess to marry, and I can return the three border cities. Why, Your Majesty is unwilling?"

After the Prince of Ye brought up the topic of marriage, the Fourth Princess's face turned pale.

She and Shi Lidie sat together. They were two unmarried women of similar age and their relationship had made rapid progress during this period, so they sat together at the full moon banquet and chatted.

But unexpectedly, the Prince of Ye State appeared and even mentioned the idea of ​​using the princess as a marriage partner.

"Xiao Die, am I really going to marry?" The fourth princess held Shi Lidie's hand, a little apprehensive, "The Crown Prince of Ye is so aggressive. If father doesn't show an attitude, will the people of the three border cities really be in trouble?"

"Don't worry, His Majesty hasn't spoken yet." Shi Lidie comforted.

At this time, the emperor spoke:

"Prince of Ye State insists on discussing this here, so I will discuss this with you. Since the founding of the Great Yin Dynasty, there has been no precedent for princesses marrying off to foreign countries. Why don't you propose another condition, Prince of Ye State?"

"Gold, silver, treasures, or preferential border trade, as well as the iron ore that is in short supply in Ye State, I can make concessions as appropriate and use these conditions to redeem the three border cities. What do you think, Prince?"

The prince of Ye State shook his head and said:

"No need to talk. Either you send the princess to marry, or you go to war and take back the three border cities."

"As for a war, I am not afraid. After all, it is not Ye's territory. At worst, I can send people to rob and kill everyone and then retreat. It depends on whether the Emperor of Dayin Dynasty can bear the loss."

Now the three border cities are in the hands of the Prince of Ye State. He doesn't care about the lives of the people of Dayin Dynasty at all, so he is like a scoundrel, unyielding and nothing can control him.

As the court officials listened to the words of the emperor and the prince of Ye, they gradually split into two factions.

The civil officials advocated peace, fearing that the Prince of Ye would go crazy and really massacre the three border cities. They thought that they should focus on peace through marriage and take the cities back first. The military officials advocated war, as they could not stand this humiliation. What a bullshit prince! They just wanted to kill him back and be done with it.

The emperor must have wanted to advocate war in his heart, but he could not gamble with the lives of the people in the three border cities.

At this moment, the fourth princess took the initiative to stand up:

"Father, I am willing to marry you!"

"As a princess of the royal family, I have grown up in luxury and have been supported and loved by the people. Now it is time for me to contribute to the people. Please send me to marry the princess. I must take back the three border cities intact."

The emperor did not expect that the fourth princess would have such a big idea and suddenly stand up and say these things.

His expression was somewhat moved, and he was about to say something to comfort the Fourth Princess, but he heard the Crown Prince of Ye State laughing and saying:

"The princess I want to marry is not you!"

"If I exchange a woman for the three border cities, it has to be the woman I want, not just anyone. This princess is too self-indulgent."

The Fourth Princess's face turned red and white at the words of the Crown Prince of Ye.

She had never been ridiculed like this in her life, not to mention that she had finally mustered up the courage to agree to the marriage, but in the end, this damn Prince of Ye State didn't want her. It was simply too much!

"Prince of Ye, be careful with your words!" the emperor said, "Among my daughters, the only one who is of marriageable age and has not yet married is the Fourth Princess. Even if we really want to negotiate, she will definitely be the one to marry."

The prince of Ye State smiled and shook his head, then slowly walked to the front of the fourth princess and pointed at Shi Lidie:

"Who said there was only the Fourth Princess? Isn't there still her?"

"What I have always wanted is only her, Princess Yun'an, the adopted daughter of the Queen. This is almost the same as a princess. Moreover, if the Emperor really wants her to marry, would he not even be willing to give her the title of a princess?"

Shi Lidie didn't expect that the melon would fall on her head. She widened her eyes in shock:

"Is this the person you want to marry?"

"It's you." The prince of Ye looked at Shi Lidie affectionately, "I have been looking for you. Since I separated from you, I have sent many people to the Great Yin Dynasty to look for you, but I could never find you. It was not until Xuanyi Tower withdrew from the capital of the Great Yin Dynasty that I learned about you from those people."

Shi Lidie just felt puzzled:

"What's the difference? What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever met you before?"

The prince of Ye State did not care about Shi Lidie's disrespect to him. He took out a silver hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to her:

"Look, does it look familiar?"

"You gave it to me personally a few years ago, and told me to pawn it to buy medicine. You were so kind-hearted that I could never forget you, so I tried every possible means to marry you."

Shi Lidie looked at the silver hairpin in the hands of the Prince of Ye State and wanted to deny it, but a certain picture seemed to flash through her mind. That was the memory that the original owner had buried deep in his mind.

She recalled how the Crown Prince of Ye had called himself the Emperor, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she blurted out:

"Zhaonan, you are...Ye Zhaonan?"
