"Don't be so impulsive. Do you think that if you don't become an official, you can solve all the problems and go away with Shangguan Qing? You are too naive. Then Shu Rong will still force the emperor to submit on the grounds of war. When the time comes, Shangguan Qing's personality will still be You will come back to Shu Rong, and you won’t even have the leverage to compete with him.

So I think the only thing you can do is to make the emperor feel the threat you pose to him, so that he does not dare to threaten you easily. When the time comes, even if he goes to war with Xuanzhe, he will have a chance of winning and marry Shangguanqing back. Best policy. "

"What are you talking about? You are still talking so softly, why are you afraid that we will hear you?" Shangguan Qing came over with the food.

"No, it's all matters related to the court." Mei Xichen winked at Shen Tingyu, indicating to him not to tell Shangguan Qing.

Shen Tingyu blinked when he saw this, and quickly took the plate and put it on the table.

Both parties seemed very happy at this gathering, but Mei Xichen and Shen Tingyu knew in their hearts that they would have to face the difficult little princess tomorrow.

Do you want to say that men also have a sixth sense? Maybe some people do.

Early the next morning, all the ministers gathered in the main hall again. Yiya came to the main hall surrounded by the maids and her father-in-law. She looked around as she walked, as if she was looking for someone.

Mei Xichen didn't take it seriously at first. The little princess didn't recognize her anyway, so she looked straight ahead.

In accordance with the etiquette of diplomatic relations, the little princess saluted the emperor. After exchanging greetings, the little princess sent a gift list to the emperor. The emperor saw Long Yan's joy and immediately developed a good impression of the little princess.

"I already know the purpose of the little princess's visit. Since Xuanzhe has sent so many gifts this time, we in Kyoto cannot be stingy. What does Princess Yiya want?" The emperor said to Yiya as if coaxing a child. Said with a slight smile.

"The emperor gave us land in the Liren area and doubled the taxes on border trade. We should not neglect it. But when it comes to gifts, His Majesty the Emperor should have known my intention before I arrived. I My uncle asked me to choose a consort here to form a friendly neighbor with Kyoto. This is the purpose of my coming here, and it is also my unshirkable responsibility as Princess Xuanzhe."

Yiya is worthy of being a princess of a country, and she is not afraid at all when facing so many people in the court.

"Didn't the young prince of your country already choose a favorite woman from Kyoto City as his concubine last time?" The emperor's words deeply hurt Mei Xichen's heart.

"Yes, my cousin is very satisfied with her princess." Yiya saluted to express her gratitude.

"When I was in Xuanzhe, I heard my cousin say that he made a friend here. No matter his age, appearance, or family background, he is rare and hard to find, so I was moved by his words." Yi Ya smiled. He smiled and looked at Mei Xichen, who was standing not far from him.

"So I plan to kiss her. I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor can help Yiya fulfill her wish." Yiya pursed her lips and snickered. "

"Oh, I see. So, Princess Yiya is here well prepared?" The emperor stroked his beard and looked at Yiya with a smile.

"Yes" Yi Ya nodded in response.

"Then may I ask who the surname of the person mentioned by the princess is? Is he or she worthy of fame?" the emperor continued to ask.

"Of course there is, and he is right above the main hall."

"Well, that's great. We don't have to worry about it this time." After the emperor finished speaking, discussions began to start in the court, and all the ministers' eyes were focused on Mei Xichen and Shen Tingyu.

Mei Xichen is 28 years old this year, and Shen Tingyu is 27 years old. Apart from them, everyone else can be Yiya's father, so everyone has different opinions and is guessing who Yiya wants.

At this time, Shen Tingyu who was standing aside gently pulled Mei Xichen with her hand and whispered, "I really guessed it right this time."

"Shut your crow mouth." Mei Xichen glanced at Shen Tingyu contemptuously.

"Princess Yiya has good eyesight. Both of them are among the most handsome men in Kyoto, and they are not married yet. I wonder which one you have chosen?" The emperor looked at Mei and Chen.

Yiya strolled up to the two of them, looked at Mei Xichen and then at Shen Tingyu, and thought to herself: "It turns out that this city of Kyoto is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, why are they all so beautiful?"

"His Majesty the Emperor is him, Mei Xichen." As she spoke, Yiya tugged on Mei Xichen's sleeves.

"Princess has good eyesight." The emperor praised.

"My cousin showed me his portrait before I came here, so I recognized him." Yi Ya looked at Mei Xichen with a proud face.

In fact, what Yiya said were all lies. His cousin asked him to come, and the fact that he saw the portrait were all lies. It was he himself who declared the kingdom of Zhe to his uncle, Shu Rong's father. The Lord came on his own recommendation.

Shu Rong didn't know about this at first, because Shu Rong and Shangguanqing rushed to save Rongruo at that time and were not in Xuanzhe. When he came back and learned about this, the team that sent Yiya off had already set off.

Shu Rong originally didn't like him and didn't care who he married. But what she said in court today undoubtedly increased the hatred between the two of them. Mei Xichen must have thought that Shu Rong was instigating his cousin behind the scenes. It was unclear whether this Yiya was a princess or not.

At this time, Mei Xichen became more and more angry as she thought about it. She broke away from Yiya's hand and angrily shouted: "Princess, please respect yourself." Then she returned to her original position.

When the emperor saw that Mei Xichen was displeased, it was hard to say anything. After all, the emperor had been reluctant to do so last time, and it would not be so easy to convince him this time. Moreover, at this moment, Mei Xichen has firmly grasped the military power. If he is angered by this matter, the consequences will be disastrous.

So the emperor pulled back the words again. "Princess, Prince Mei understands your intention, but due to various reasons, he cannot marry you, so please find a lover again. I can also promise you that if the princess can marry you in Kyoto City, No matter who you are or what your background is, I will be able to help you find your beloved, okay?"

"How can that be done? I came all the way here just for him. I don't want anyone else, I want him." As she said this, Yiya pointed to Mei Xichen.

"Besides, isn't his princess already married to my cousin? Doesn't he still want to rekindle the old relationship?" Yiya muttered with a childlike temper.

These words completely angered Mei Xichen. He strode forward and sneered at Yiya: "You will go back to where you came from. Don't tell me that I have someone in my heart. Even if I don't, I won't marry you. And go back and tell your cousin that the grudge between me and him has not been settled yet, and in the near future I will lead troops to fight until you declare war, and let him hurry up and train his troops."

"You?" Yiya was so angry that she couldn't speak. Mei Xichen really made it impossible for Yiya to step down in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

When the emperor heard this, it was incredible. This was not a declaration of war. It was a good thing that it turned out like this.
