Chapter 161 The Regent's Next Princess 69
As Gu Yichen said, Shen Zhenyuan did not get involved in the Zhu family's case. A few days later, all of Zhu Gaozhen's "crimes" were in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor was furious. , Zhu Gaozhen completely collapsed.

After bringing down the Zhu family, they were considered to be on the same front as the prince. Although Gu Yichen and Gu Yifeng had never discussed the alliance, they cooperated tacitly and slowly weakened the Shen family. Power in the court.

After several months of peace and stability, a news spread to the capital, that is, King Hun Chu of Zhou State is coming.

"What is the purpose of this prince of the Zhou Kingdom?" Shen Qiuyue asked Gu Yichen before going to bed that night.

Gu Yichen has been busy with receiving Zhou's envoys for the past few days, so he naturally knows them very well, "In name, he came to pay tribute, but in fact, he also has another purpose, which is to ask his father to marry him."

"Proposal?" Shen Qiuyue froze for a moment.

"The state of Zhou lives next to us. There have been wars between the two countries for decades. The two countries signed a treaty of truce a few years ago. This time, King Hun Chu sent by the state of Zhou is the younger brother of the prince of the state of Zhou. He has a very high status. Gao, send him here to show Zhou Guo's sincerity, so correspondingly, the person he proposes to should not be bad, and if there is no accident, it will be the princess."

"Is it possible that Wanling will marry her?" Shen Qiuyue asked.

"Yes, Wanling was born of a queen, and her status is noble, which also shows that we attach great importance to Zhou Guo's courtship." Gu Yichen said, "Wanling married, even if the two countries are married, it can be exchanged for the stability of the frontier. "

"Don't the emperor and the empress love Wanling very much? Isn't it very difficult to meet each other after marrying Zhou Guo, how can they be willing?" Shen Qiuyue wondered.

Gu Yichen explained: "Even if the emperor and the queen love Wanling, she is still a princess, and the emperor will marry her when she reaches a certain age, and this King Hunchu is the prince of the Zhou Kingdom, and his status is considered prominent. Ling marrying him can be regarded as a good match."

"Oh, this ancient woman is really a tragedy." Shen Qiuyue couldn't help but sigh with emotion. No matter how noble her family background, marriage matters are ultimately beyond her control, especially women from the royal family. Most of them are victims of political marriages. Either it is used to win over people's hearts, which is also tragic.

"Okay, don't think too much. Tomorrow night, the emperor will host a banquet for Zhou Guolai's envoy. At that time, let's see what the king of Hunchu is like." Gu Yichen said.

"Yes." Shen Qiuyue said firmly, "If this King Hunchu is not a good man, we will interfere with Huang's marriage." Wanling must not be wronged!
Before they entered the palace the next day, Wanling came to the palace early in the morning. When she saw them, Wanling asked for help with a bitter face: "Brother Huang, sister-in-law, you must help me this time."

Gu Yichen raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Don't want to marry?"

"En." Wanling nodded, "Father and Queen Mother kept talking to me yesterday about how good King Hunchu is, and I have a hunch that they will let me marry him."

Shen Qiuyue asked from the side: "Why don't you want to marry him? Could it be that King Hunchu is ugly?"

"It shouldn't be. I have met King Hun Chu before. Although he is not outstanding in appearance, he is also a handsome young man." Gu Yichen said.

Wan Ling curled her lips and said, "Who cares if he looks good or not, I just don't want to just marry a stranger for no reason."

"Then who do you want to marry? Do you have someone you like?" Shen Qiuyue asked gossipingly.

Wanling shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law Huang, stop joking, I have someone in my heart."

"Then what kind of husband do you want to marry?" At this moment, Shen Qiuyue's matchmaker soul was burning.

Wanling thought about it seriously, "Of course I'm going to marry a great hero."
