Both worlds are like dreams

Shen Congfeng's face was very ugly. The emperor had already agreed, and it was inappropriate for him, as a minister, to object. After all, no matter how arrogant he was, he could not openly show his disloyalty in the court.

But he just had to watch all the benefits go to Mo Ruilin, and he really couldn't say the word "agree".

Xue Huang said calmly, "General Shen is a man of great integrity, loyal to his emperor and patriotic, and he should be able to share your majesty's worries."

Hearing this, Shen Congfeng looked at her with a gloomy face, "Princess, you are right. As a subject, I should share your majesty's worries."

Xue Huang looked at him indifferently. She clearly saw a hint of viciousness and murderous intent in his eyes, which even seemed to make her feel a chill on her back, as if he was plotting some conspiracy.

She knew that even though he had relented, he might not have other tricks up his sleeve. She was afraid they would have to be more careful in their future actions.

Emperor Ling said, "Since all the ministers have no objection, the candidate for marriage will be Princess Xingyue. Choose an auspicious date and send her to marry Dongchu."

Su Linjin clasped his fists and bowed, saying solemnly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. May our two countries remain friends forever and never have war again."

Emperor Ling and Mo Ruilin both smiled with satisfaction. After all, Mo Xingyue and Su Linjin already had a friendship, so a marriage between them was the best of both worlds.

As for Shen Congfeng's party and the second prince's party, their expressions were mixed, and none of them looked good.

"Your Majesty," Imperial Tutor Zhao said, "The marriage is a serious matter. Both princesses are of noble status and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the marriage. In my opinion, the wedding should be grand. It would be better to hold the weddings of the two princesses at the same time."

Emperor Ling thought about it for a moment and looked at Su Linjin, "Although I am marrying off my daughter, I also hope to see her get married in front of me."

"I understand," Su Linjin said, "If Your Majesty agrees, I am willing to hold the wedding here according to Beiling's etiquette, and after returning to Dongchu, I will hold another wedding according to Dongchu's etiquette."

"That's great." Emperor Ling said with relief. "What do you think?"

The people from Murilin's faction naturally had no objection, but the other two factions said nothing.

Emperor Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Zhenyu, "Second Brother, what do you think?"

Mo Zhenyu was suddenly called out, and was a little dazed, but he quickly reacted, because he knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and he had no reason to object. So he said respectfully as always: "Father, I also think that what Master Zhao said makes sense. Changle and Xingyue are both princesses of Beiling, and they have important responsibilities. Naturally, their wedding should be grand. As for the location of the wedding, I think we should choose a suitable place to show solemnity. Since ancient times, princesses should be sent to marry from the palace. Princess Changle is also a princess of Beiling, and can be sent to marry by father. As for the place to hold the wedding, it can be held in Xuanyuan Terrace. Although Xuanyuan Terrace is the place where Beiling worships Chengtian, it is also a holy place to pray for the prosperity of the country. The alliance between the two countries is also a major event, and holding a wedding in Xuanyuan Terrace is not considered an usurpation."

"Well said," Emperor Ling was very satisfied, "You have always been the most thoughtful."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Mo Zhenyu said quickly.

"What do you think, gentlemen?"

Mo Ruilin said, "Father, the officials of the observatory originally reported that the eighth day of next month is an auspicious day. There is less than a month left. Wouldn't it be a bit hasty to hold the weddings of two princesses at the same time? Should we let them choose a new date?"

Although Emperor Ling was reluctant to let Mo Xingyue marry far away, he knew that the marriage should not be delayed for too long, for fear of accidents, so he said: "Then let's assign more people. You should also go with us to take care of it, and don't be careless."

"Yes."
