After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Minister Zhao bowed respectfully and said, "I will definitely see to it."

Seeing that Emperor Jingyou was determined to grant the marriage, the eldest prince could only grit his teeth and thank him, "Thank you, father!"

Emperor Jingyou smiled brightly, "Very good, your marriage has always been your mother's concern. Now that it has been settled so smoothly, it is also the fate of you and Princess Lanzhi."

The eldest prince gritted his teeth and smiled stiffly, agreeing, "Father is right."

Emperor Jingyou smiled happily and said, "Haha, good, everyone, eat your food. Dancers, start dancing. Everyone in Nanyue, eat and drink well."

The banquet was as lively as when it first started, and the tense atmosphere just now seemed to have never happened.

When the banquet ended, it was already midnight.

At this moment, there was an angry sound of smashing things in the eldest prince's mansion.

"hateful!"

"Why!"

"I've made such great contributions, but my father just doesn't like me. How could he treat me like this? He made me marry a princess for a foreign mission, which completely blocked my path to the throne!"

"How am I any worse than those losers! Why does the emperor favor them so much? Am I not his son?"

The eldest prince slapped the yellow pear rosewood table beside him angrily, shattering it with one palm. His palm was cut and blood dripped out.

"Your Highness! You are injured!"

The eldest prince sneered, "This little injury is nothing!"

He has been guarding the southwest for these years and suffered countless injuries while leading troops outside. He was guarding the safety of the border in the southwest, while the third, fourth and fifth brothers lived a luxurious and comfortable life in Kyoto. Now, he has returned after making merit, but he is still treated so unfairly!

Why!

"Why is the eldest prince so angry? Do you still have expectations for your father?"

"If he really had feelings for you, why would he let his son suffer at the border?"

The voice was soft and clear without a trace of emotion. The man took off his hood, revealing his veiled face.

The eldest prince's expression changed, "Why are you here?"

Princess Lanzhi sat down comfortably as if she were back home and poured herself a cup of tea.

She gently took off her veil, and her peerless beauty still dazzled the eldest prince, who had seen her many times.

"Your Highness, have you not decided yet?"

The eldest prince's expression became stern, and his rage subsided.

"Let me think about it."

Princess Lanzhi frowned slightly, "Your Highness, being so hesitant is not the attitude of someone who wants to accomplish great things."

"Your Highness, don't you understand what your father did today? In his heart, Your Highness was never the right person."

"If he really wanted you to compete on equal terms with your brothers, why would he have allowed you to stay in the southwest for five years? If it weren't for your plan to return to court, Your Highness might have stayed in the southwest for the rest of his life."

Princess Lanzhi put down the teacup in her hand and sighed softly, "Lanzhi is not worth it for Your Highness. Your Highness is wholeheartedly concerned about the safety of Daqing, but your father cannot bear to see your efforts. You are not in Kyoto, not in the court. The officials in the court represent the forces behind your brothers. What capital do you have to compete with them?"

The eldest prince clenched his hands into fists, and his eyes were filled with various emotions that were difficult to discern.

He was his father's firstborn son. The doting he had shown him flashed before his eyes. His mother had always told him that he was his father's firstborn son and would inherit the throne. So, from the moment he could walk steadily, his mother had begun to make him learn all kinds of things. Even though he was still so young, he had to get up before dawn to study and could not fall asleep until midnight. As a child, he had no time to play. All he had was endless books to read and endless martial arts to learn...

So, when Shen Yanli was born, he was named the crown prince just after he turned one year old. Although he didn't understand at the time, his mother no longer forced him to study from dawn to dusk, and the little boy was happy.

However, this period of time did not last long, and he returned to his previous study state. His mother kept telling him that he was the eldest son and that he would have the opportunity to inherit the throne in the future.

In this way, his mother planted a seed in his little heart. It took root and sprouted, and now it has grown into a towering tree, to the point that he can hardly control it.

So, he's back!

Princess Lanzhi noticed the increasingly determined look in his eyes, and she raised the corners of her lips slightly. "It was I who miscalculated. I didn't expect your father to marry me to you. This was beyond my expectation. I thought he would personally take me into the harem."

The eldest prince gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Yanli! If it weren't for him, father would have taken you into the harem."

Princess Lanzhi was calm and composed. "However, there are also benefits. At least, it will be easier for me to meet His Highness."

Princess Lanzhi stood up and performed the proper ceremony for a Daqing woman, then said with a smile, "From now on, I hope Your Highness will give me your guidance."

"I'll be leaving now. Your Highness, please think this over carefully." She leisurely turned and walked to the door, then suddenly stopped and turned to the eldest prince with a charming smile. "Your Highness, please think it over quickly. Time waits for no one."

After saying this, Princess Lanzhi walked away leisurely.

The eldest prince looked at the figure disappearing at the door, his eyes dark and unclear.

At this time, Ye Qingyu and Shen Yanli had not yet come out of the palace. They were both in Concubine Xian's palace to comfort Princess Changning.

The banquet had been over for an hour, but she had not yet recovered from her nervousness and fear. Her face was pitifully pale. With mist in her eyes, she said to Shen Yanli, "Brother, you shouldn't have offended the South Vietnamese envoys for me. And my eldest brother, I can go to the marriage!"

Shen Yanli glared at her coldly, "Who allowed you to go?"

"But, but, if I don't go, what if the peace talks fail? The southwest has finally stabilized. So many soldiers sacrificed their lives to gain this stability. I can't be selfish and only care about myself. Wuwu, brother, I can go."

Even as she said this, Changning was still crying out of fear.

She didn't want to leave Daqing, didn't want to leave her brother, father, Aunt Wei, Qingyu, she didn't want to leave, but if she didn't go to marry, and war broke out on the border again, who knows how many young soldiers' lives would be lost.

Shen Yanli said coldly, "If a country needs the sacrifice of women to survive, then this country is not far from collapse!"

When Consort Xian heard him say such outrageous things, she hurriedly rebuked him, "Li'er, stop talking nonsense!"

"Aunt Wei, don't worry. Father is not one of those incompetent monarchs. He has never thought of sending the princess to marry."

"Well said Li'er!"

Emperor Jingyou's powerful voice rang out, and several people looked up to see him walking in from outside the hall.
