The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

After three rounds of drinking.

Xiao Yiyun took out a thick gift list and handed it to the guard beside him, asking him to pass it to Emperor Dong.

After Dongdi took the gift list, he carefully read through the contents and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The gifts on this list are both precious and unique, fully reflecting the wealth and sincerity of the Southern Kingdom.

Looking at the gift list in his hand, Dongdi couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Why was this new Southern Emperor so generous to the Eastern Kingdom? Was it because he had some plans for himself?

Or maybe he has a woman he loves in the East, so he cares so much about this place?

Emperor Dong decided to test Xiao Yiyun to see if he could get some clues from him.

So, he smiled and asked, "Nan Di, I have always been curious, how did you think of giving us so many gifts?"

When Xiao Yiyun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but soon regained his composure.

He smiled and replied, “Your Majesty, you are joking. I just want to express my respect to you.

After all, you are the emperor of the Eastern Kingdom, so I naturally have to express my gratitude. "

After hearing this, Emperor Dong nodded slightly.

He felt that Xiao Yiyun's answer was a bit vague and did not seem to tell the real reason.

However, since the other party didn't want to reveal too much, he didn't ask any further.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Dong spoke again:

"Nan Di, I think it's time for you to consider establishing a queen.

You are young and the king of a country. You should find a suitable woman to accompany you and govern the country together.

Do you have a favorite candidate? "

Xiao Yiyun was caught off guard by Dongdi's question. He didn't expect Dongdi to bring up this matter suddenly.

He secretly complained in his heart, wondering what to do. But on the surface he remained calm, smiled slightly, and replied:

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. However, I have not found a suitable woman yet, so the matter of establishing a queen will be put on hold for now."

A sly look flashed across Dongdi's eyes, and he said with a look of regret:

"That's great, but the harem cannot be left without a master for a day. My princesses are all outstanding people. I wonder if the Southern Emperor is interested?"

Xiao Yiyun was shocked. He understood that this was the Emperor of the East testing him. If he showed interest in any of the princesses, it might arouse the Emperor of the East's vigilance.

He bowed quickly and replied, "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness. But I have just ascended the throne and am busy with domestic affairs. I really don't have the time to think about marriage."

The Eastern Emperor laughed loudly: "Why should the Southern Emperor be so reserved? Marriage can also bring benefits to the country. If the Southern Emperor is interested, I can help bring them together."

Xiao Yiyun bowed his head to express his gratitude, but secretly swore in his heart that he must find out the East Emperor's purpose as soon as possible and never let the Southern Kingdom fall into a passive position.

Xiao Yiyun looked up at the Eastern Emperor with an embarrassed look on his face. "Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, but I think the most important thing right now is to handle the relationship between the two countries, not to form a marriage alliance. If we choose a marriage alliance at this time, it may arouse suspicion from other countries and bring unnecessary trouble to the Southern Kingdom."

The East Emperor frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "What the South Emperor said is not without reason, but I think marriage is not completely unfeasible. As long as we choose the right person, we may be able to achieve a win-win effect."

Xiao Yiyun's heart tightened. He knew that the East Emperor would not give up this idea easily. He had to find a way to convince the East Emperor, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Your Majesty, although marriage can bring temporary benefits, it may also cause many problems. For example, whether the two parties are really suitable, whether they can live in harmony after marriage, and so on. These problems require time and energy to solve, and right now, what our country needs more is stability and development." Xiao Yiyun said sincerely.

Emperor Dong looked at Xiao Yiyun with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He knew that Xiao Yiyun was not trying to shirk responsibility, but was truly thinking about the Southern Kingdom.

"Okay, what the Southern Emperor said is very true. Let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it later. However, I hope that the Southern Emperor can find a suitable method as soon as possible to consolidate the relationship between our two countries." The Eastern Emperor said with a smile.
