On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Lin Zhen almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

They had to cede cities, pay compensation in the form of grain, and now they were also going to give a princess of Chu to them.

"Chu Batian, oh Chu Batian, how could you be so foolish? Do you think that if I marry a princess, I will follow her to the State of Chu and serve you? You are too naive, aren't you?"

Or was this Gu Beichen's own idea?

Impossible. Gu Beichen has always regarded himself as the most annoying person and would never give himself any sweetness.

It seems that Chu Batian miscalculated.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhen lowered his head, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably, and he almost laughed out loud.

Seeing this, Lin Zhenxian coughed twice calmly and kicked Lin Zhen lightly with his toes under the table.

Lin Zhen understood what he meant, sat up straight, put away his playful expression, and met Gu Beichen's angry glare.

Gu Beichen gritted his teeth and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at the wisdom and might of His Majesty the Emperor of Chu!"

"So do you agree or not?"

Lin Zhen said calmly, "Since we are working to improve the relationship between our two countries, marriage is not a bad idea. However... I have to choose the princess."

Gu Beichen couldn't help cursing, "Are you fucking choosing a concubine here?"

"Eh? That's not right. You want me to marry a princess, but you won't let me choose carefully? Let's be reasonable."

When Gu Beichen heard this, his face turned pale and red.

Reasonable?

Did you, Lin Zhen, behave reasonably when you broke into my residence with the Eight Ox Crossbow and killed my retainers?

Did you, Lin Zhen, show any sense when you beat me in public again and again, relying on the authority of the palace?

Now you are telling me to be reasonable, when the hell have you ever been reasonable?

Gu Beichen felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

But now that Chu has been defeated and the situation is pressing, he must buy enough time for Chu, otherwise continuing the war will do no good to Chu.

Besides, Chu Batian only told Lin Zhen to marry a princess, but he didn't say which one. That old lecher has more than thirty princesses, so it doesn't matter which one he uses.

Besides, princesses are used for marriages, besides winning over ministers.

Gu Beichen had unknowingly brainwashed himself, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "Okay, as long as you are willing to accept this marriage, Director Gong, you choose!"

"Great!" Lin Zhen saw Gu Beichen agree, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips. He struck while the iron was hot and said, "In that case, let's sign the armistice."

After saying that, Lin Zhen pushed a ceasefire letter that he had prepared long ago onto the table.

He also ordered someone to bring pen and ink and added a new item at the bottom - the State of Chu required that Lin Zhen choose a princess from the Chu royal family to marry.

The ink was not dry yet, and it glowed faintly under the candlelight.

Gu Beichen picked up the ceasefire letter and examined it word by word, fearing that he would fall into a trap.

After half an hour, he confirmed that everything was correct. He made up his mind and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Lin Zhen, don't regret it!"

Haha, there is no Lin Zhenxian in Chu State. When you come, I will show you how I will deal with you!

Gu Beichen thought secretly, then picked up his brush and signed his name.

Seeing this, Lin Zhen signed his name without hesitation.

At this point, the battle between Qian and Chu came to a temporary halt.

Just as he put down his pen, Gu Beichen seemed to remember something and looked up and asked, "Which princess do you want to marry? Tell me so I can go back and report to His Majesty."

Although Chu Batian did not specify a princess, the temperaments and status of the more than 30 princesses were different. If Lin Zhen chose a favored one, he would have to go through a lot of trouble to explain when he returned.

Lin Zhen picked up his own ceasefire letter, covering half of his face, revealing only a pair of smiling eyes, and slowly uttered four words: "Princess Qingqiu."

When Gu Beichen heard this, his pupils shrank instantly and the blood drained from his face.

Princess Qingqiu Chu Xiling! ?

No, absolutely not.

What should I do if you marry Chu Xiling? I'm still waiting for her to come back from Qian Country!

Gu Beichen immediately slammed the table: "Impossible!"

"why?"

"Because..." Gu Beichen paused, "Because Princess Qingqiu is our Majesty's most beloved princess, she will never condescend to marry you!"

Lin Zhen spread his hands and said in a very aggrieved way, "I could choose not to marry you, but you forced me to!"

"you!"

Although Gu Beichen has already married a princess, how could this be too much?

Moreover, Chu Xiling has been smart and beautiful since she was a child, and is the most famous beauty in the Chu State.

A woman like this should be matched with a rare talent like me.

Who the hell are you, Lin Zhen?!

"Lin Zhen, you must find someone else immediately. Princess Qingqiu will never marry you!"

"Then don't change it. Strike out that clause."

"No! You have to change."

"Gu Beichen, I'm giving you face, right?" Lin Zhen's face turned cold, and his voice was low: "I originally wanted to talk to you properly, but you broke your promises time and time again. What's the meaning? Do you think I dare not kill you?"

"When two countries are at war, envoys are not executed. Moreover, our treaty is still under negotiation. How could I have violated it?"

Lin Zhen picked up the armistice letter and shook it: "It's clearly written in black and white. I get to choose the princess myself. I've changed my mind now. I must marry one of your princesses, and it must be Chu Xiling!"

Gu Beichen originally wanted to ask His Majesty to marry Chu Xiling after the war was settled.

Although Chu Xiling couldn't come back in a short time, with Chu Batian's nod, it was a done deal.

But now, he was intercepted by this idiot Lin Zhen, how could he not be angry!?

"I repeat, impossible!"

Gu Beichen blurted out, his voice trembling slightly with anger: "Although Princess Qingqiu is a hostage in Qian Kingdom, she will return to Chu Kingdom sooner or later. Our Majesty will never allow her to marry you!"

Lin Zhen didn't want to discuss this with this mentally ill person.

When it comes to slapping someone in the face, sometimes you just need to be decisive.

So Lin Zhen clapped his hands lightly, and in an instant, the door of the box was slowly pushed open, and a touch of elegant blue light came into everyone's eyes.

Chu Xiling moved lightly with lotus steps, wearing a light blue long skirt that dragged on the ground. The delicate patterns embroidered on the skirt were like twinkling stars. A moon-white ribbon was tied around her waist, which made her slender waist look even more slim. Her cloud-like hair was tied into an exquisite bun and pinned with a mutton-fat jade hairpin. The hanging tassels swayed gently with her steps.

Her skin is as white as cream, her eyebrows are as dark as distant black, and her eyes are like a pool of autumn water. The shimmering light reveals her innate nobility and coldness.

Gu Beichen was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

He never expected that Chu Xiling would appear here, and judging from the situation, she seemed to have a tacit understanding with Lin Zhen.

Could it be that... during the time I was away, Chu Xiling also became Lin Zhen's woman?

No, it's impossible! Absolutely impossible!

This is the woman I like!

Gu Beichen stared at Chu Xiling, trying to find a hint of reluctance or grievance on her face.

But since Chu Xiling entered the door, she looked at Lin Zhen calmly with a faint smile on her lips. It was a gentle expression he had never seen before.
