Both worlds are like dreams

After three more morning court sessions without a final conclusion on the choice of bride, Xue Huang and Su Linjin appeared before the emperor again.

Xue Huang did not adopt Mo Yunchen's suggestion of choosing a son-in-law through a martial arts competition, because Dong Chu had enough confidence.

Any hostile force, when faced with the same oppression from a third party, will first consider cooperation and unite against the outside world.

Therefore, as long as Dong Chu is strong enough, no matter how they quarrel internally, as long as they bring the matter to the court, they will definitely be able to exert pressure.

So after the two sides exchanged a few meaningless words, Emperor Ling asked Su Linjin if he had a woman he liked. Before that, Emperor Ling also sent someone to deliver a bunch of portraits of princesses, princesses and other noble ladies to the Dongchu delegation.

However, Su Linjin didn't look at any of them. During the morning court session today, Xue Huang clearly felt that her junior uncle was starting to get serious.

After all, if he doesn't show the aura of a regent, he won't be able to find a wife.

Facing Emperor Ling's question, he was cold and arrogant yet frank, strong yet graceful, and said: "This king does have someone he likes, and that is your country's Princess Xingyue. Princess Xingyue is dignified and virtuous, kind-hearted, and has a sense of justice for her country and family, and a noble character, so this king is here to formally propose marriage to your country, hoping that our two countries will become closer."

Emperor Ling was a little surprised, "The Prince Regent is attracted to my Princess Xingyue?"

"Not bad!" Su Linjin said.

Emperor Ling smiled. This was a little unexpected. He didn't know that Mo Xingyue and Su Linjin were in love with each other. But this was a very gratifying thing for him.

As expected, Shen Congfeng said, "Princess Xingyue is the most beloved princess of our Majesty. She is a beautiful lady with a noble status. The choice of her consort should not be decided lightly."

Su Linjin glanced at Shen Congfeng, "So General Shen thinks that I am not qualified?"

Shen Congfeng didn't expect him to be so direct and was choked for a moment.

Xue Huang did not give him a chance to speak, and said directly: "Your Majesty, Dong Chu's betrothal gift has far surpassed the national gift for marriage, which shows its sincerity. Princess Xingyue is your majesty's jewel in the crown, and the emperor's uncle is also the regent of a country. Moreover, the two of them are talented and beautiful, and they are a match made in heaven. What do you think?"

"I think this matter..."

"Your Majesty," Shen Congfeng interrupted, "I think this matter should be carefully considered."

Emperor Ling was displeased with his rude interruption, but he didn't say anything. After all, he had gotten used to it over the years.

Seeing this, Su Linjin spoke in a cold tone, "When my princess married Bei Ling, you all said to consider it carefully. Now that I am proposing marriage to your country, you still need to be cautious. Is your country so unwilling to marry into Dong Chu?"

In terms of aura, Su Linjin is definitely not inferior to an emperor. He was able to restore order and rectify the government when the situation in the Dongchu court was in chaos. Naturally, he has considerable strength. You have to know that he is just a young man of only twenty years old.

"If your country really feels so reluctant," Su Linjin continued, "I, Dongchu, will never force you."

"The Regent has misunderstood," said Mo Ruilin. "We have all seen Dong Chu's sincerity, and my father is also very supportive of the marriage between the two countries."

"So, Your Majesty agrees with Princess Xingyue's marriage to Dong Chu?" Su Linjin asked.

"Xingyue is my most beloved princess. Although I am reluctant to let her go, for the sake of the eternal alliance between our two countries, I have no choice but to do so." Emperor Ling said.

Shen Congfeng spoke again, "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate."

Su Linjin looked at him with a half-smile, "General Shen, your emperor has already agreed, but you are opposing it. It seems that you really think that I am not qualified to marry Princess Xingyue?"

"Your Highness the Regent has misunderstood. That is not what I meant."

Su Linjin raised his eyebrows, "Then the general means that you agree?"
