Listening to the whispers of the kneeling civil officials around him, Qi Deyuan no longer cared about the Guanglu Doctor who was about to die. The princess had made such a loud noise that His Majesty must have heard it a long time ago.

But he has never sent anyone to stop it. His Majesty must want Your Highness to vent his anger. These civil servants are really annoying.

Daxia is His Majesty's Daxia. Whether or not His Royal Highness the Princess marries is His Majesty's decision. What does it have to do with them? They really think they are a dish.

"Shut up, everyone. Listen to me. If the Northern Territory is truly willing to offer the kingdom as a betrothal gift, this is the truth. There is no need for you to force me. For the sake of the people of Great Xia and our future, I am willing to travel to the Northern Territory to marry."

As soon as Liang Chongyue said this, the entire Yangxin Palace fell silent. Everyone thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess was making such a fuss because she didn't want to marry, but they didn't expect Her Royal Highness the Princess to say this at this time.

The sound was so loud that His Majesty must have been able to hear it. Now if the North is really willing to offer the country as a betrothal gift, Her Royal Highness the Princess will have no room for regret.

"Your Highness..."

Qi Deyuan wanted to tell His Highness that there was no need to express his opinion so hastily, as the meaning of "the country is the betrothal gift" had not been clarified yet, and this had put him in a difficult position. However, facing His Highness's determined look, Qi Deyuan once again held back his words.

Liang Chongyue knew what Qi Deyuan was going to say, but some things were not something she would have to do in the future if she didn't say them now. If she said them now, she could gain a good reputation for being loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

"Eunuch Qi."

"Hey, I'm here. What do you want, Your Highness?"

Liang Chongyue's eyes swept over the people kneeling there. His tone was so majestic that it could not be ignored. His words were enough to make these people go back and never sleep peacefully again.

"My Lords, when you were trying to persuade me just now, you were so powerful. Since you are so determined to persuade my father to send me to marry, then please continue to kneel here until tomorrow morning. You can then stand up and attend the morning court directly to show your sincerity."

"Please help me write down the names and official titles of these gentlemen, Eunuch Qi. They want me to marry them because it is definitely better to go to the North than to stay in Daxia. If I go, I can't forget them.

Once the list is complete, please send it in. I will then ask my father for grace to allow all of these ministers to accompany me on my dowry to the northern border."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he left without caring about the reactions of the people present, leaving Qi Deyuan and the ministers kneeling on the ground looking at each other in bewilderment.

Qi Deyuan looked at these people and his face turned pale in an instant. He felt relieved. These people bullied Her Royal Highness Princess Zhenguo, and they didn't even consider their own weight. They were not even worth a kick from Her Royal Highness.

When Liang Chongyue walked to the door of the Yangxin Palace, the door just opened and Little Li came out with pen and ink, followed by a young eunuch carrying a long table and stools.

"Your servant greets Her Royal Highness, Princess. Long live Your Highness. His Majesty is waiting for you inside."

Liang Chongyue's eyes swept over the thing in Xiao Lizi's hand, and the two looked at each other tacitly. Xiao Lizi and his men took a few steps back to let His Highness go in first.

Liang Chongyue walked around the screen and saw her scumbag father playing chess, but there were no chess pieces on the board. It seemed that he was waiting for her.

"Chongyue, come and accompany me for a while."

Liang Chongyue saw that his scumbag father had not had time to take off the dragon robe. It seemed that he had finished the court very late today. Those old pedants must have been arguing fiercely in the court over the marriage issue.

Liang Chongyue put his hands into his sleeves, used the sleeves to cover his face, bought a pair of calming sachets from the mall, and placed them in front of his scumbag father.

"This is a pattern I drew and asked Yunling to embroider. It contains a calming spice, which will come in handy."

Liang Chongyue tied one of them to his scumbag father personally, hung one in front of his scumbag father's dragon table, and replaced the sachet that no longer smelled good, the gold thread had exploded, and needed to be wrapped in a cover, and put it in his backpack.

After finishing all these, Liang Chongyue sat back opposite his scumbag father and began to play chess with him seriously.

Neither of them mentioned the matter of going to the northern border for marriage, but the atmosphere was much better than usual.

Time slipped away quietly during the game. Liang Chongyue's back was aching from the anger he felt at the hands of those pedantic, cowardly and selfish ministers. But after staying with his scumbag father for a long time, his anger subsided and the pain in his back was gone.

When the black piece fell, Liang Chongyue looked up and stole a glance at his scumbag father. He saw that he had a slight frown on his face and was not concentrating on playing chess.

Liang Chongyue withdrew her gaze and said nothing more. She would try to understand and learn from whatever decision her scumbag father made, but no one could stop her from moving forward.

Outside the Yangxin Palace, Little Li, holding a brush and ink, passed by the still-breathing corpse of Guanglu Doctor and kicked it. Meeting Guanglu Doctor's bloodshot eyes, Little Li raised a cruel smile and said to the eunuch on duty:

"Guanglu Doctor is no longer able to do so. Send him back home. As for the princess's dowry and accompanying her in the marriage, choose one of Guanglu Doctor's legitimate sons."

Hearing what Eunuch Li said, Doctor Guanglu was so anxious that he almost stood up. He raised a finger of his right hand and gestured desperately at Eunuch Li. As soon as he opened his mouth, blood spit out. He struggled for a long time but couldn't utter a word.

Little Li handed the brush and ink in his hand to the eunuch beside him, bent down, stretched out a thin white finger, pressed back the finger raised by Guanglu Dafu, and said to him with a smile:

"I know that you have only one legitimate son, who is thirty-five years old. He passed the imperial examination two years ago and is now a sixth-rank Hanlin Academy editor. I believe that in addition to your help, you must have some extraordinary qualities, otherwise how could you have been promoted so quickly?"

"Daxia and the northern border are thousands of miles apart. If Your Highness were to go there to marry, the journey would be long and arduous, and would be truly boring. A capable person like Xiuzhu could help relieve Your Highness' boredom."
