Xiao Yu gave five cities to Emperor Xia Ming as a birthday gift, with one condition, that is, Emperor Xia Ming should give Feng Qingluan to him as a marriage partner.

As Xiao Yu finished speaking, the hall fell into dead silence.

Normally, if a young lady from a marquis's mansion was chosen to marry a foreign prince and exchanged for five cities, Emperor Xia Ming, as the monarch, would certainly agree.

Especially since this young lady from the Marquis's Mansion has no father or mother and no one to support her, it is not difficult to send her away just by wanting to.

But the problem is, two months ago, Prince Rong personally came to the palace to ask His Majesty to marry Feng Qingluan as his wife, and Prince Rong's wedding will be held after Emperor Xia Ming's birthday celebration.

At this critical juncture, a prince from another country proposed to marry Feng Qingluan.

Not to mention that Feng Qingluan is a woman who dares to divorce the royal family and will not agree. She is Prince Rong's fiancée. Will Prince Rong agree to hand her over to a prince from another country?

Absolutely impossible!

Therefore, when Xiao Yu stated his request, the whole audience was shocked.

Emperor Xia Ming was also shocked by Xiao Yu's request, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses:

"Sixth Prince of Anyi, the person you want to marry is Feng Qingluan?"

Xiao Yu looked at Feng Qingluan with burning eyes, and his eyes said it all:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After receiving his definite answer instead of mistaking him for the wrong person, Emperor Xia Ming's expression showed a hint of teasing:

"Sixth Prince, it's not that I don't want to agree to your request, but you don't know that Miss Feng is Prince Rong's fiancée, and I personally issued an imperial decree to grant the two of them a marriage.

If you want her to marry, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. I have princesses or daughters of princes and nobles. If the prince likes one of them, we can replace them."

The two princesses present, Qingyang and Chaoyang, both looked panicked when they heard that they might be chosen to marry the prince of the western country. They looked at Emperor Xia Ming with resistance and asked their mother and concubine for help in panic.

The Queen and Concubine Ru had not expected that such a nice gift would go wrong, and were about to speak up for their daughter.

However, their worries were unnecessary. Xiao Yu said firmly:

"I appreciate your kindness, Your Majesty. I fell in love with Miss Feng the first time I saw her when I came to Beijing. Miss Feng is kind and righteous, with a strong character, and she is very much like a girl from Anyi.

She is as beautiful as a fairy, and she has the gentleness and charm of a Central Plains girl. I fell in love with her at first sight and only want her."

He insisted on choosing Feng Qingluan. Now the hall became lively and everyone looked at Xie Jin and Feng Qingluan at the same time.

The two parties involved were calm and composed, as if it had nothing to do with them and were just listening to Xiao Yu talking about other things.

They remained silent, but Xie Yan was the first to stand up and say:

"Prince Anyi, my father said that Feng Qingluan and the Eighth Uncle are engaged. Why do you still insist?"

Xiao Yu said: "King Chu, Miss Feng's ex-husband, the woman that His Highness likes, I naturally admire as well."

As he said this he turned to Emperor Xia Ming.

"Your Majesty, I will offer the five cities with both hands. This is my only request. If Your Majesty disagrees, I will take back the five cities as a token of my intention to make peace with you."

Zhang Zhen, who was standing next to his seat, was almost upset by his restless master.

They came to Daxia to celebrate the birthday, but did not mention the marriage.

There was no mention of giving five cities to the Great Xia Kingdom in exchange for a marriage.

Therefore, when he heard his master make this request, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.

His master was acting on his own initiative. He did not report such a big matter to the king. He said this just to teach Xie Jin and Feng Qingluan a lesson. He was so bold!

Zhang Zhen was sweating profusely. When he heard Emperor Xia Ming politely reject his master, he immediately wanted to take it back. This made his heart rise up and then fall heavily to the ground.

Does his master think that he is bargaining for vegetables?

He simply doesn't take his life seriously!

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, the hall fell silent again.

This time even Emperor Xia Ming showed annoyance on his face:

"Sixth Prince, are you kidding me?"

Xiao Yu was humble:

"I dare not. This is my request. If we cannot reach a consensus, you cannot blame me for withdrawing my sincerity."

There is nothing wrong with what he said.

Emperor Xia Ming tightly gripped the armrest. This Xiao Yu was really a bold and reckless person!

He goes back on his word in public and is completely self-centered. He is freer than even the emperor himself!

Emperor Xia Ming was about to say something to him, but Xie Jin, who had been silent the whole time, spoke calmly:

"Prince Anyi, you said you wanted to exchange five cities for a marriage with Miss Feng. But you have the seal signed by the King of Anyi. Take it out. This matter is not without room for negotiation."

Xie Jin's words caused a huge uproar.

The civil and military officials whispered to each other:

"From what Prince Rong said, does he agree to give away the future princess in exchange for five cities for the Great Xia Kingdom?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Rong has always believed that the interests of Daxia are the most important. If he sacrifices a woman in exchange for five cities and diplomatic relations between the two countries without having to fight, he is likely to make concessions."

Everyone was talking in private, but Xie Yan pointed at Xie Jin angrily:

"Eighth Uncle, what do you mean? Are you going to agree to Prince Anyi's unreasonable request? Feng Qingluan is your fiancée, and you're giving her away. You have no shame, but the Great Xia royal family still has some dignity!"

He was really mad at Xie Jin and looked at Feng Qingluan who was next to Xie Jin.

Feng Qingluan was calm and composed, and even picked up the melon seeds on the table and ate them slowly.

Xie Yan was furious. What a stupid woman! Xie Jin was about to sell her out, and she was still standing there watching the show?

He asked her to promise to marry him again but she refused. Now, the Eighth Prince, whom she chose, wants to give her to another man in exchange for a city. Her seemingly smart eyes have been wasted!

Xie Yan kept complaining in his heart and wanted to jump into the hall to beat up Xiao Yu, who was like a troublemaker.

After hearing Xie Jin's question, Xiao Yu smiled mischievously:

"I don't have the seal document yet. When I return to Anyi, I will immediately ask my father for permission and send it to Daxia."

"Please ask the king? Sixth Prince, that means that when you proposed the city in exchange for marriage, you just said it casually, and it has no practical benefits, so it doesn't count?"

Now everyone understood why Xie Jin asked him this question. He had already seen that Prince Anyi was talking nonsense.

Xiao Yu's face turned ugly, and he was about to refute, but Xie Jin continued:

"As far as I know, the King of Anyi has eleven princes. The sixth prince is the son of the king and a palace maid, and is the least favored among all the princes. You proposed to exchange five cities for a marriage, but the one you chose is not a princess or a princess of Daxia who can match your status as a prince. Do you think your father will agree or will punish you severely?"

"Click."

Feng Qingluan bit open a melon seed. When Xie Jin's heart-piercing words fell and the hall fell into complete silence for the third time, the sound of the melon seed breaking was heard by everyone. It seemed so funny and ironic.

Feng Qingluan looked at the man next to her with a smile in her eyes.

As expected of the Prince God of War, he is good at leading troops in battles and also good at verbal battles. He can hit the opponent's weak spot as soon as he opens his mouth.

His attack was murderous and heart-breaking, and it completely hit Xiao Yu's sore spot.

How will the madman Xiao Yu go crazy again?

She was looking forward to it.
