Quick Wear: I and the Way of Heaven are one

The Ningguo Crown Prince raised his wine glass and toasted the Qing Emperor with great respect: "I have heard of the heroic demeanor of the Qing Emperor since I was afar in Ningguo. I truly admire him."

Emperor Qing also offered a glass of wine in return, "Prince Ningguo is a young and talented man, and should not be underestimated."

"Haha, thank you Emperor Qing for the compliment." Prince Ningguo changed the subject and looked at Lin Lezhi: "I believe this is the jewel in the crown of Emperor Qing, Her Royal Highness Princess Qing'an."

At first, Prince Ningguo saw that several other princes had arrived, but the so-called Princess Qing'an had not arrived yet.

I thought that Emperor Qing's favor was just an exaggeration, but I didn't expect that when the banquet started, the legendary Princess Qing'an actually attended with His Majesty the Emperor of Daqing.

She was beautiful but not coquettish, gorgeous but not vulgar. Even the gorgeous clothes she wore were just embellishments, not even half as beautiful as the eldest princess.

At that moment, Prince Ningguo suddenly understood why Emperor Qing favored Princess Qing'an's biological mother alone, even though it violated the ancestral laws.

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but compared with this person, they are simply boring.

Lin Lezhi didn't like the look of this so-called prince. He treated him as an object to be stared at, which was really disgusting.

But thinking that he was the prince from Ningguo after all, he raised his glass and nodded slightly.

But Lin Lezhi's actions gave the prince some confidence. He stood up and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Qing, I am traveling to Daqing to establish an everlasting friendship between Qing and Ning."

No wonder the Ning Kingdom sent the prince as an envoy. It turned out that they wanted to form an alliance through marriage. The first reaction of all the ministers was that this was a good thing.

Although Ningguo's national strength is not as strong as Daqing's, it is still a big country after all, and there will only be benefits from the marriage between the two sides.

But there were also some experienced guys who stole a glance at Emperor Qing who was sitting on the high throne, and there was no expression of joy or anger on their faces.

These old guys couldn't help but pray in their hearts, don't let it be Princess Qing'an, don't let it be Princess Qing'an.

If it is Princess Qing'an, then this marriage will bring no good, only bad things.

But the Prince of Ningguo was not as they wished. After seeing the beauty and status of the eldest princess, how could he consider marrying her with anyone else?

"Oh, really?" Emperor Qing replied indifferently, "In that case, the third of my princesses is a virtuous lady..."

Before Emperor Qing could finish, Crown Prince Ning interrupted, "Your Majesty, I wish to marry Princess Qing'an. I was captivated by her beauty at first sight. I beg Your Majesty to grant my blessing and bring our two nations together forever."

The smile on Emperor Qing's face had completely disappeared. Is this prince from Ningguo really stupid? He didn't see Le'er attending the event with him, and didn't hear him mention the third princess before.

What does all this show? It shows that he is unwilling to marry Le'er off.

"I think Prince Ningguo is drunk. Is he talking nonsense?"

Emperor Qing was unhappy, and he naturally had the reason to be unhappy. In one sentence, he was simply defined as being drunk.

The people of Ningguo who came with their own prince to visit understood Emperor Qing's thoughts. They wanted to bring back their own prince.

However, there are few descendants in Ning Kingdom, and this Crown Prince has a good family background and high status, so everyone usually defers to him. This time he followed the delegation just to see the so-called most beautiful woman in Qing Kingdom.

In his smooth life, he has not been rejected many times.

Therefore, regardless of the looks from his own delegation, he shook his head and continued to insist.

Princess Qing'an was favored by the Daqing Emperor, so naturally, it would be difficult to ask for her hand in marriage. But as long as he persisted, for the sake of friendship between the two countries, the Daqing Emperor would surely agree in the end.

Lin Lezhi finally put down his wine glass and looked up at the Prince of Ningguo. "You can ask me to marry you, but my husband, Lin Lezhi, can only have me for his whole life. If you can't do this, or if you break this promise after asking for my hand in marriage, then I will be widowed."

"I wonder if His Royal Highness can do this."

This statement shocked everyone, whether they were from Qing or Ning, they were all shocked by what the princess said.

Ordinary well-off families, if they can afford it, can still have one or two concubines, let alone powerful families like them.

What they value most is family heritage and future offspring.

This statement is simply outrageous.

But in such a situation, the ministers of Qing Kingdom could not kneel down and beg the emperor or accuse the eldest princess.

They could only maintain their composure and cooperate with shock in their hearts.

The Crown Prince of Ningguo said thoughtfully, "Your Highness, there are other people in ordinary families. As the Crown Prince of a country, it is not easy for me to favor only one person. But I swear, no one will dare to surpass you. As long as you marry into Ningguo, besides my father and mother, you will be second only to me and above everyone else."

Lin Lezhi chuckled, "Prince Ning, do you know what my status is in Qing Kingdom?"

Without waiting for the Ningguo Crown Prince to speak, Lin Lezhi continued, "My father raised this princess according to his own rules from childhood. Even if he later appointed a crown prince, he could not surpass me."

As if this wasn't enough, Lin Lezhi dropped another bombshell in front of everyone, "In Qing Kingdom, I'm not even below my father, the Emperor. How can you possibly be so good as to ask to marry this princess?"

For a moment, those who were dancing stopped dancing, those who were distracted stopped distracting, and those who were jealous stopped being jealous.

The entire banquet was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

They all buried their heads tightly, wishing they had one less ear.

"Princess, you are here." Prince Ningguo wanted to say something, but he was shocked by Lin Lezhi's words.

He boasted that he was favored by his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress, and was named the crown prince at birth. But if he dared to say this in front of his own father, he would be finished with the crown prince the next day.

Princess Qing'an, is she so fierce? Is everyone in Qing Kingdom like this?

The Crown Prince of Qing, no, we don’t do that. Only she dares to do that. Even the dumbest person wouldn’t dare to speak in this situation.

The eldest prince was a bit reckless, but he also knew what he could say and what he could not say.

For example, if he had said this sentence just now, there would have been only a good result, that is, he would have spent the rest of his life serving his ancestors and cleaning the imperial tombs; if he had almost run into trouble, he would have had to say goodbye to this beautiful world.

He hasn't enjoyed it enough yet.

The princesses standing by secretly looked at Qing'an with envy, especially the third princess. She did not blame Lin Lezhi. It was because she was not the emperor's favorite daughter. Or rather, their emperor had never favored them.

Will the emperor scold Lin Lezhi? Or will he punish her in some way?
