Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

The Ninth Prince has such a strong character that if anyone offends him, he will never let it go for the rest of his life.

If that’s the case, why is the Ninth Prince in this state now…what’s the reason?

Could it be the relief after disappointment?

Sometimes the prince didn't dare to think too much.

Oh, why think so much?

Anyway, the emperor and the empress are getting along very well with the ninth brother now, and both himself, the eldest brother, and the eldest princess of Pingnan, the elder sister, seem to like the ninth brother very much.

So, this is fine.

It's good that our family gets along harmoniously.

As for Jiang Zhao's heart knot...

To be honest, he felt that no one in this world could solve it.

Even Chen Zhining might not be able to solve it.

If it could be solved, wouldn't it have been solved long ago?

Perhaps people will always have regrets in their hearts throughout their lives.

Just like the regret in my heart, it was that I didn’t meet the Crown Princess at the beginning. Later, a Crown Princess died before I met the current one.

As for Jiang Zhao, perhaps this is his shortcoming.

But Chen Zhining has no fatherly love...

Maybe everyone has regrets.

The prince was thinking for a moment.

Suddenly there was a sound of breaking door outside.

It turned out that it was the Grand Princess of Chang'an who came, and she was holding the King of Loulan by her side.

Seeing the two of them coming over, holding hands,

The emperor immediately jumped up and said, "What are you two doing?!"

"You two are indecent creatures!"

As he said this, he was about to look for something to throw at Princess Chang'an and the King of Loulan.

He searched for a long time and found a sword. He drew the sword and was about to stab the King of Loulan.

Princess Chang'an was startled to see the King of Loulan standing in front of her, stretching out his arms to block the emperor's sword.

The emperor's sword was about to reach the king's throat. The king closed his eyes and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty Zhou Song, I'm really sorry. I want to take Princess Chang'an away with me."

"The Grand Princess of Chang'an...has agreed."

Hearing this, the Grand Princess of Chang'an behind her nodded quickly, then pushed the King of Loulan aside and said, "You are so stupid. How could you run in front of me to help me block the sword? You should know that my father and grandfather will never punish me."

"Even if I did something to make him angry, he couldn't bear to hit me."

"Besides, he didn't object to my marrying to Loulan, didn't he? He even told me to choose whatever I wanted..."

"So now I choose the King of Loulan, so what?"

The emperor and the empress would definitely not object.

"???"

"!!!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard what the Grand Princess of Chang'an said. They instantly felt mixed emotions in their hearts... Woohoo, the little princess they raised ran away...

Jiang Zhao immediately stood up, and at the same time as the prince, he turned his head with a dark face and grabbed the emperor.

Then, Princess Pingnan asked Princess Changan in a gentle voice: "Zhao Jia, how are you? Are you injured?"

"Nothing hurt, aunt."

When Princess Chang'an saw Princess Pingnan coming, her eyes lit up and she immediately stepped forward and threw herself into Princess Pingnan's arms.

Princess Pingnan was very happy when she looked at the child whom she had raised since childhood.

She touched the child's head and smiled at her, "You will soon be a 15-year-old girl. Your aunt will give you a 15-year-old girl ceremony then."

"Okay."

Princess Chang'an nodded with a smile.

Behind him, the queen said calmly to everyone: "Well, this is the King of Loulan after all. How can you use swords and guns in front of the King of Loulan?"

"If they knew, they would know that we are not strangers to the King of Loulan. If they didn't know, it would seem that those Loulan officials really thought that... our Zhou Song was going to go to war with Loulan."

After hearing this, everyone had to sit down, and the situation outside calmed down temporarily.

After Li Haitang came out of the imperial study, he hurried to contact the Loulan envoys.

He quickly smiled apologetically at the Loulan envoys, "Our Majesty is just a little excited. It's okay, it's okay."

"... Oops, it was a bit noisy, but it's okay."

"Although our Zhou and Song dynasties are a nation of etiquette, our Majesty is also a martial artist and fought in battles when he was young."

"it's okay no problem......"

"Oh, it's okay. Didn't you hear that the Grand Princess of Chang'an is going to marry your King of Loulan?"

"Our princess has already married your King of Loulan, what else do you want?"

Li Haitang suddenly changed her attitude, pinched her orchid fingers, and spit at the Loulan envoys: "Hey, if you want to marry our Chang'an Grand Princess, don't you have to suffer a little?!"

"Why, you want to marry this beautiful woman home without any grievance???"

"I tell you, the title of our Chang'an Grand Princess and the position of Grand Princess are absolutely not given easily! If you want to marry our Chang'an Grand Princess home, you will be severely punished."

As she spoke, Li Haitang pouted and looked very angry.

He was really angry. After all, their Princess Chang'an was so good, why did she have to marry far away?

Alas, the Emperor and the Empress had not shown any signs of objection before, so I guess they really wanted to agree to let the Grand Princess Chang'an marry far away.

If she really married off to Loulan, it would be difficult for Princess Chang'an to return to Zhou and Song.

Obviously, they gave Princess Chang'an such a title in the beginning in order to avoid a marriage with a foreign prince, but unexpectedly, Princess Chang'an, the person who was least suitable for a marriage with a foreign prince, would go for it.

Alas, this is also what the Grand Princess wants.

Anyway, it won't be a loss for her to go to Loulan.

For the little princess, love is something that she can experience.

After all, Princess Chang'an has everything in her life: family, money, power, beauty, and intelligence...

It's always good to try something that doesn't exist, isn't it?

"..."

In the imperial study, the emperor and the empress listened to Princess Chang'an with serious expressions.

"Grandfather, grandmother, father, uncle, aunt, I really want to marry Brother Ping An. Brother Ping An is really good to me, and we have loved each other for so many years... and we really like each other. I still want to marry him, why don't you agree?"

Having said that, she immediately knelt down with the King of Loulan.

Seeing how infatuated they were, the emperor said angrily, "You guys, you really make me mad!!!"

"Zhao Jia, there are so many noble princesses and princes in the royal family, why did they give birth to someone as love-brained as you?"

Zhao Jia blinked.

I think the term "love-brain" was mentioned to me by the Queen Mother before.

The Queen Mother used to often go to Buddhist temples and tell herself something like... Master Kongkong was a love-brained man when he was young, so he became a monk and never returned. She told herself not to be love-brained, otherwise she would really shave her head and become a nun.

Unexpectedly, I have now become a negative example and become love-brained.

Princess Chang'an was a little unconvinced. She pouted and said to the emperor and the empress, "Grandfather and grandmother, please don't be anxious. There are still some things to say."

After hearing this, the emperor and the queen were stunned, and then they heard Jiang Ping'an say, "If such a noble person as Princess Chang'an is allowed to marry to Loulan, it might be a bit unfair to her."

"So, I plan to marry into Zhou Song's family and become the consort of Princess Chang'an, instead of letting Princess Chang'an become my princess of Loulan."

"...Of course, if Princess Chang'an wishes, she can keep the title of Queen of Loulan."

"But if I marry into Zhou Song's family, then Princess Chang'an can go back to her parents' home whenever she wants."

"And we also plan to use half of Loulan's treasury to give Chang'an Grand Princess a dowry, and use the treasury money to ask Zhou and Song to allocate the fiefdom of Liangzhou to Chang'an Grand Princess. In this way... both sides will be her home, and she will be the princess of two countries."

"??????"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Jiang Pingan quietly and said in disbelief: "You... this is..."

“Are you crazy???”

"No, this is such a serious matter, call Zhining over immediately."

Jiang Zhao immediately stood up, waved his hand and told Princess Pingnan to go and call Chen Zhining over.

The Grand Princess of Pingnan nodded and accepted the order, and also called the Crown Princess over.

"..."

When they hurried over, they saw that the emperor and empress's faces had changed.

The emperor and the empress also asked the Grand Princess of Chang'an and the King of Loulan to stand up instead of kneeling on the ground. Moreover, the King of Loulan was still sitting in a seat near the main position at that time.

When Chen Zhining saw this seat, he fell into deep thought.

On the way, Princess Pingnan had told Chen Zhining the whole story. Chen Zhining already knew that the King of Loulan had actually made such an exciting offer.

However, Chen Zhining had some doubts. The King of Loulan made such an awesome decision. Wouldn’t the people of Loulan object?

Wouldn’t the people of Loulan be angry?

Won’t Jiang Ping’an’s position be shaken?

What's more, half of Loulan's treasury belongs to the country, and it is not Jiang Ping'an's own private treasury. Could it be that... he can use the treasury at will?

This...is definitely not going to work.

Even if Jiang Ping'an could successfully marry into the Zhou Song family and make Loulan suffer this great humiliation, the money in the national treasury could not be touched.

However, what is mentioned later about allocating Liangzhou to Princess Chang'an as a fiefdom is feasible.

I guess the emperor and empress would agree.

The emperor, the empress, Chen Zhining and the crown prince had discussed it earlier. If Princess Chang'an Zhaojia really married into Loulan, then they would have to do this: give the fiefdom of Liangzhou to Princess Chang'an. This way, Princess Chang'an could be protected for the rest of her life.

This is also the only confidence they, as parents and royal family, can give to Princess Chang'an.

When a daughter gets married, you always have to help her.

In fact, Jiang Ping'an is just a little far away, otherwise... whether in terms of ability, familiarity, or character, Jiang Ping'an and Zhao Jia are very compatible.

......

But as a human being, there are always some flaws. If she hadn't married far away, she might not be as capable as Jiang Ping'an.

Anyway, Chen Zhining felt that it would be a good thing for Zhao Jia to marry into Loulan.

"......"

Chen Zhining sat down at this time, took a sip of tea, and slowly said to Jiang Pingan: "Since you have already proposed to the Grand Princess of Chang'an, then as the biological mother of the Grand Princess of Chang'an, I would like to ask you some questions at that time."

"King of Loulan, I wonder what kind of betrothal gift you can use."

"Is it a betrothal gift from the national treasury? Of course we Zhou and Song cannot afford it."

Jiang Pingan nodded, and said to Chen Zhining expressionlessly, "In reply to Princess Rongbao, if we take out half of the national treasury... it's naturally not possible. The Loulan people will definitely not agree."

"But if I prepare the betrothal gift worth half of the national treasury in advance, then they won't say anything."

Hearing this, Chen Zhining and everyone else were stunned. They quickly asked Jiang Pingan, "What's going on?"

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said to Chen Zhining, the emperor, and the empress, "Your Majesty, the empress, the ninth prince, the ninth prince's wife, the crown prince, and the crown princess, I have been fighting in the Western Regions and the north and south over the years, and I have made some military achievements. A large part of them were obtained by me, the king, in person, so I have naturally received a lot of rewards for my merits, and there are also many heirlooms, which are now collected in the palace by me."

"If we can sell all these heirlooms, then it will be no problem to collect a betrothal gift that is equivalent to half of Loulan's treasury."

After listening to Jiang Ping'an's detailed description, Chen Zhining immediately nodded with satisfaction, turned to Jiang Zhao and said with a smile: "This son-in-law is not bad."

Jiang Zhao also nodded. At this moment, even if he wanted to embarrass Jiang Ping'an, he had nothing to say.

I didn't expect Jiang Ping'an to be so thoughtful. He had been thinking about Zhao Jia for a long time and started preparing a betrothal gift for Zhao Jia.

Jiang Zhao couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, so he said directly to the emperor and the queen: "I have no objection, I... also agree."

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining, the parents, said they had no objections, so the emperor and the empress, the royal grandfather and grandmother, naturally would not say anything either.
