The most romantic little emperor

Yelu Lingxiao's words once again aroused everyone's anger.

"The King of the Southern Courtyard is too rude!"

"This is simply barbaric behavior! Such disrespect for superiors and inferiors is really infuriating!"

"Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to expel the Liao envoys and fully prepare for war!"

……

Many people were outraged and stood up, slamming the table and glaring at Yelu Lingxiao and other Liao people.

Even many people who advocated peace stood up and denounced the Liao people's arrogance and domineering behavior.

Of course, not all peace advocates are traitors; they just look at the issue from a different perspective. However, when it comes to issues concerning national dignity and the new emperor's reputation, they will not tolerate any compromise.

Although Su Zhengfang, this old fox, has always wanted to be a peacemaker, he can only choose to remain silent in this situation.

The little emperor has not yet expressed his opinion. He still needs to observe the situation carefully and weigh the pros and cons.

However, Qin Hao sat on the dragon throne, motionless as a mountain, with a sharp gaze, quietly observing everything. He knew Yelu Lingxiao's intentions, but did not show any emotion.

He knew very well that in this contest, whoever could remain calm and rational would be able to take more initiative.

At this time, Qin Feng stood up, turned to Yelu Lingxiao, and said in a deep voice: "King Nanyuan, you keep saying that you want food, but have you ever thought that the people of Daxia are also suffering from famine? Since you Liao Kingdom claims to be a powerful country, why don't you solve the food problem yourself, but come to Daxia to beg?"

Yelu Lingxiao heard this and sneered, as if he didn't care about Qin Feng's questioning. He said proudly: "Second Prince, you may not know that the Liao Kingdom is now in its heyday, with strong soldiers and horses."

"And the reason we are here is to consolidate the friendship between our two countries and avoid unnecessary wars caused by some small misunderstandings. If you can be generous and give us the food we need, then the Liao Kingdom will naturally remember this kindness, and the two countries will coexist peacefully in the future. Otherwise, it is hard to say. This king does not want the scene of two years to happen again."

This is not the right attitude to use when asking for food; it is clearly naked intimidation and threat.

Faced with Yelu Lingxiao's aggressive momentum, Qin Feng was speechless for a moment and could only stand there awkwardly.

Seeing that he was showing weakness, Qin Hao raised a playful smile. He slowly spoke with a hint of ridicule in his voice: "King of the South Courtyard, who is this beautiful woman behind you?"

Yelu Lingxiao took Yelu Jin'er's hand and strode forward, his expression full of pride and satisfaction. He said proudly: "This is my most beloved daughter, Yelu Jin'er. She is not only outstanding in appearance, but also smart and clever. She can be called the treasure of my Great Liao."

Following Yelu Lingxiao's introduction, everyone's eyes fell on Yelu Jin'er. She had a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and was full of exotic tenderness, which was amazing.

Qin Hao nodded slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Yelü Jin'er, what a nice name, and her appearance is also quite outstanding. What's more, she is the daughter of your King of the Southern Courtyard, and her status and position are definitely not ordinary, and she can barely match my second brother."

"Prince Nanyuan, we can discuss the issue of food. I can also be more generous and not care about your previous rude behavior. As long as you are willing to marry your precious daughter Yelu Jin'er to my second brother as his princess, I can not only guarantee your food supply, but also give you a generous gift. What do you think?"

Everyone present's eyes lit up and they praised in their hearts. His Majesty's proposal not only cleverly demonstrated his own position, but also dealt a heavy blow to Yelu Lingxiao's arrogance.

If Yelu Lingxiao really agreed to this marriage, then he, the King of the Southern Courtyard, would probably be branded as a seller of his daughter and become the object of ridicule throughout the Liao Kingdom.

The Liao envoys could no longer sit still and whispered to Yelu Lingxiao not to agree to this marriage easily.

Yelu Jin'er was even more resolute in her words and clearly expressed her rejection of Daxia's proposal of marriage.

Qin Feng was also confused. He really couldn't understand why his elder brother suddenly proposed to marry him to a princess from a foreign country. He had no such intention in his heart, and he was even more unwilling to let a strange woman become his princess.

Because his position as princess was reserved for his cousin Mei'er, whom he had always been thinking about, he was unwilling to accept any other woman, let alone a princess from a foreign country.

Qin Feng looked up at His Majesty who was sitting high on the dragon throne, trying to find the answer from that majestic and profound face.

However, Qin Hao just looked at him with a smile, as if everything was under control.

Qin Feng shook his head helplessly, smiling bitterly in his heart. He knew that he could not disobey his elder brother's wishes, so he could only accept this sudden change silently, and secretly prayed that Yelu Lingxiao would never agree to this marriage.

Yelu Lingxiao's eyes were fixed on Qin Hao, and he silently recalled every word he had just said. Looking at Qin Hao's calm and rational face, he couldn't help but feel amazed.

It is really admirable that the young emperor of Daxia could use the marriage as a bargaining chip so skillfully and instantly seize the initiative in the negotiations.

At this moment, Yelu Lingxiao was in a dilemma. Deep down in his heart, he naturally didn't want his precious daughter to marry far away in Daxia. That was the treasure in his heart, how could he bear to let her leave his protection and live in a strange country?

Moreover, if he agreed, he would probably be branded as selling his daughter for food, his reputation would plummet, and the dignity of the Liao Dynasty would be seriously damaged.

However, faced with the temptation of food, he felt a little reluctant when thinking about how many people in Liao were still hungry. If he could not borrow food, he didn't know how many people would starve to death this winter.

Yelu Lingxiao's heart was full of contradictions and struggles. He wanted to protect his daughter and save the hungry people. Such a choice was undoubtedly a huge test for him.

Yelu Jin'er looked at Qin Hao with anger in his eyes. If looks could kill, Qin Hao would have died countless times.

At this moment, Yelu Jiner's eyes were burning with rage. She stared at Qin Hao fiercely, as if she wanted to eat him alive.

If looks could kill, Qin Hao would have died countless times.

However, Qin Hao turned a blind eye to Yelu Jiner's hurtful look. He looked indifferent, neither urging her nor showing any reluctance or dissatisfaction.

There was an otherworldly tranquility in his eyes, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.
