In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

Emperor Ming's expression turned calm, knowing that they must have some ulterior motive in coming here.

He did not want to marry his daughter to Yuhe, and even if he wanted to marry a princess, he only wanted to send a daughter of the royal family to marry:

"I wonder which young man in Sheng State your Khan wants to marry the princess to?"

Ciye glanced at Li Heng, lowered his eyes and said respectfully:

"Princess Xianli is the apple of the Khan's eye. Khan hopes that Shengguo can have a princess to marry our Yuhe. If the princess can meet her ideal husband in Shengguo, we can discuss the marriage later."

There was a barely perceptible flash of anger in Emperor Ming's eyes. He said:

"Is it your Khan who is seeking to marry our Shengguo princess, or your Gejiang prince?"

Ciye lowered his head silently, not daring to raise his eyes. He said:

"It is Renran Khan"

The court officials were all displeased. How could the Khan Renran marry such an old man and the Princess of Shengguo was young and beautiful?

Emperor Ming said: "I will discuss this matter with my ministers."

Ciye bowed and said, "I will take my leave," and then left.

The hall was silent. Li Huaijin saw through their plot. Li Heng had just returned from Yuhe, and they came to Chang'an to ask for a marriage. He stood up:

"Your Majesty, Yuhe's journey is long and arduous. The princesses are so precious, how can they bear it?"

Minister Lin, Li Heng, and Prince of Qi Li Che have been interacting more and more closely in recent days. They already knew about this plan and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, although Yuhe is a small tribe, it has many brave warriors. If we can marry them, it will definitely benefit our country."

Li Heng raised a barely perceptible smile and stood up:

"Your Majesty, I think you can choose a woman from the clan to marry the princess."

At this time, the princes and nobles were all unhappy. Who would be willing to send their daughters to such a far place? After the Khan's death, the princess would have to marry the new successor, his son.

Li Huaijin felt uneasy. He looked up at Li Heng, his heart pounding. He only wanted to protect Mu Jinan. He thought to himself:

"Little Man"

Emperor Ming glanced at the prince and said coldly, "Prince, what do you think?"

Prince Li Xu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that Shengguo is prosperous and strong, and there is no need to use the princess to maintain the relationship with Yuhe"

How could Li Huaijin let Mu Jinan go to marry? He was ready to kill Li Heng at this moment, and said earnestly:

"Your Majesty, I think Yuhe is just a small tribe. It is safe now. Our country only needs to strengthen the country and enrich the people, recruit talented people, improve the military, and train the troops diligently."

"The other tribes will definitely submit to us, there is no need to use women as marriage partners"

Jiang Yanqing, a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, was also fed up with these old foxes, who always sacrificed women for marriage. Many of them were daughters of the royal family and suffered all kinds of grievances:

"I also think that there is no need for the princess to marry a foreign prince at this time."

Lu Yanci bowed and said, "I second the motion."

Li Heng glanced at Li Huaijin, then looked up at Emperor Ming who was hesitating. He said loudly:

"Your Majesty, if you can marry Yuzuru, it will be beneficial and not harmful."

"I heard that Princess Rongde has a daughter who is beautiful, brave and resourceful. Only such a wonderful woman can marry on behalf of our country and demonstrate our country's prestige."

Li Huaijin's heart seemed to be hit hard, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and then he bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, Princess Rongde passed away early, General Mu devoted his life to our country, and our family has been apart for a long time."

"This lady has lived in the Nangong family in Xuanzhou, Jiangnan for many years. This move must not be allowed. We must not discourage Zhongwu's heart."

The prince bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I also think this is inappropriate."

Emperor Ming pressed his temples and said in a daze: "We can't make a decision today. We can discuss it after the banquet is over."

Emperor Ming stood up and left, and the court officials bowed and left outside the hall.

Li Huaijin walked over, his eyes were cold:

"Prince Rui, can you only vent your hatred on one woman?"

Li Heng took a step closer, putting on a friendly face. He wanted to see who was better, himself, the original male protagonist, or the unknown male supporting role that suddenly appeared:

"Huai Jin is very smart. Anger is useless. You should think about how to reject this marriage."

"Perhaps if you beg me, and she begs me, we can get the marriage done."

Li Huaijin snorted coldly, knowing that he had secretly led Shen Yuyuan to Emperor Ming many times, wanting to let the King of Qi and the Crown Prince fight for it and let Li Che rebel:

"To incite the King of Qi, to deceive him with slanderous words, to do many evil things will surely lead to his own destruction"

He turned and left, feeling disgusted to be around such a villain for even a moment.

Two hours later, the entrance of Queyue Tower was colorful and magnificent, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Mu Jinan was completely unaware of this at the moment. She was still happily waiting for the banquet to begin. This was the first time she saw the court receiving the Yuhe tribe since she returned to Chang'an.

Today, all the ministers, princes and nobles in the court have come to the banquet.

Mu Jinan saw Li Huaijin coming over. He looked at her and found it difficult to speak.

Mu Jinan saw that he had a complicated expression. He hadn't seen him for a few days and felt that he looked thinner, as if he had been seriously ill, but he didn't take it seriously.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Li Huaijin paused and lowered his eyes: "Today, the Yuhe tribe asked your majesty to grant a marriage alliance and marry the princess to Renran Khan."

Mu Jinan was surprised and said: "Renran Khan is so old, and he still wants to get married?"

"Did your Majesty agree?"

Li Huaijin's eyes flashed with sadness: "Your Majesty cannot bear the princess's suffering, this matter needs to be discussed again"

Mu Jinan sighed: "Emperor Ming still has some love for the princess."

Li Huaijin's eyes flickered, and he had to tell the truth:

"Li Heng slandered you and asked you to marry on behalf of the princess."

Mu Jinan was in a trance, as if she thought she had heard it wrong, and her eyes, like the water of a peach blossom pond, became dull.

His smiling face was stiff, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his brows furrowed, and he said in disbelief:

"What did you say?"

Li Huaijin comforted her: "Jin'an, don't worry, I will never let you go to marry"

Mu Jinan's legs and feet went limp with fear, and he retreated to sit on the crescent stool, muttering:

"how can that be"

"In the original text, I was asked to marry a member of the Qingque tribe. How come it became a member of the Yuhe tribe, and at this time?"

Li Huaijin didn't understand what she was saying, so he bent down and looked into her eyes:

"Jin'an, don't be afraid. Even if you disobey my order, I will protect you."

Mu Jinan looked at him. She didn't believe anyone at the moment. She calmed down and thought:

"I have never enjoyed the dignity of a princess, but I have to marry off as a substitute and be treated as a sacrifice. I don't accept it."

I only heard the eunuch say loudly: "Open the banquet!"

Li Huaijin had no choice but to leave and return to his seat.

Emperor Ming was in a high position, and said peacefully: "Our Sheng Kingdom and Yuhe are close friends and neighbors. Today, Prince Yuhe and Princess should not be shy at the banquet, and enjoy yourself."

Everyone picked up their glasses and said, "Long live the Emperor!"

Li Heng glanced at Mu Jinan from a distance, motioned for Eunuch Gao to come over, and whispered:

"That is Princess Rongde's daughter, Mu Jinan."

Mu Jinan took a long breath and said in his heart:

"At this time, Emperor Ming is a little confused. What should I do?"

"In this feudal dynasty, talking to a man of supreme power will only anger him. What if he issues an imperial decree asking me to marry him? Can I still rebel?"

Eunuch Gao whispered to Emperor Ming and pointed to Mu Jinan in the distance. Emperor Ming understood and a shrewd look flashed in his eyes.

Emperor Ming did have the idea of ​​letting Princess Rongde's daughter marry the real princess instead, but after all, she was just his granddaughter and did not grow up with him, so he had no feelings for her.

They won't even care about how she will live in a foreign country in the future.

Mu Jinan was nervous. Seeing Emperor Ming looking at her, was he going to issue an imperial decree for a marriage? She tightly grasped the wine glass in her hand, and heard the high eunuch say loudly:

"Madam Mu Er, His Majesty has summoned you, please come forward."

Mu Yun watched from afar with a hint of displeasure on her face. With so many princes and nobles around, Mu Jinan had to steal the limelight. She gritted her teeth and drank a glass of wine, looking at Li Heng from time to time.

Mu Jinan walked carefully in front of His Majesty, his bright eyes turned slightly, he bowed his head, and said softly:

"Your Majesty, I, Mu Jin'an, pay my respects to you. May your Majesty live a long and healthy life, and enjoy eternal youth."

Although she didn't remember the original text, she knew that in history he was greedy for his son and daughter-in-law, wanted to live forever, and often took elixirs.

Emperor Ming was amused by her words:

"I have never seen anyone who is immortal in this world."

Mu Jinan raised his eyes to look at Emperor Ming, his eyes were resolute, and he said:

"I recently saw a god in my dream, soaring over the Donghuang Chaos Bell, with the sun, moon and stars shining around him, and the sound of the bell shook the sky and the earth."

"When the bells stop ringing, I will ask, what is the matter with the gods summoning me?"
