royal husband

"Okay, let's do as Shen Youxiang said. Besides, I will also give Shen Youxiang full authority over the matter of receiving the envoys from Dongheng Kingdom."

If it weren't for Gu Cunmo, Ying Yuan might not have been able to guess Shen Chaoyan's purpose, but now it's different. Based on Shen Chaoyan's words, Ying Yuan quickly deduced that there must be something tricky behind this so-called marriage proposal.

After getting the answer he wanted, Shen Chaoyan cupped his hands meaningfully and said, "The emperor is wise."

This is Shen Chaoyan's usual trick against Ying Zhengjing.

As for Ying Zhengjing, although he has deep thoughts, whoever is an emperor doesn't like other people's flattery and praise of his achievements, so the four words 'Emperor Shengming' are undoubtedly the most suitable for Win Zhengjing. Happy.

"Let's retreat if there is nothing to do."

"The minister (minor minister) respectfully sends the emperor off."

Just after the early court, Lord Wang, who was at odds with Shen Chaoyan, approached him, "Shen Youxiang is worthy of being a person who was highly valued by the late emperor. He clearly opposed the current emperor's ascension to the throne last time and wanted to choose someone else. This turn around, I have won Imakami's favor again, which really makes me admire."

Shen Chaoyan stopped, and said righteously, "Lord Wang, be careful, all these things I do are for the future of Great Xia."

"is it?"

Mr. Wang sneered and left in disdain.

The courtiers of Shen Chaoyan's faction were dissatisfied, "What is Mr. Wang doing?"

"Don't worry about him." Shen Chaoyan smiled indifferently, "Compared with Mr. Wang's unimportant words, it is more important for us to think about how to receive the envoys of Dongheng Kingdom."

"Yeah, that's what matters."

With Shen Chaoyan's words, the other courtiers who were traveling with him began to think of a way, instead of continuing to dwell on what happened just now.

If you want to be violent, you can only take advantage of the present. After a while, I will make your life worse than death.

Shen Chaoyan clenched his fists.

the other side.

"Ajin, I'm afraid Shen Chaoyan can't wait, and has to act." Ying Yuan tightly held the empty teacup in his hand, and a look of seriousness flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Li Jin nodded.

"Well, we have to start preparing."

The preparations Li Jin spoke of referred to the preparations for dealing with Shen Chaoyan.

Shen Chaoyan dared to make such swaggering calculations because he was sure that they didn't know the relationship between Shen Chaoyan and Dong Heng.Therefore, for Li Jin and the others, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to completely bring down Shen Chaoyan.

"Ajin..."

Ying Yuan suddenly called Li Jin's name.

Li Jin looked at Yingyuan suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"You have to be careful about Ying Xichen, I always feel that she will do something against you." Ying Yuan can't forget the look in Ying Xichen's eyes that day, she clearly wanted to monopolize Li Jin.

"I'll pay attention."

Seeing Ying Yuan's worried look, Li Jin couldn't help but rubbed Ying Yuan's hair violently.

A Yuan, you actually don’t have to worry about these things. I said that I will always be with you, so I won’t go back on my word.And all you have to do is stay by my side, that's enough.

……

Time is like falling leaves, and it is the day when Dongheng envoys come to Daxia quietly.

"Messenger, the emperor is in front." Shen Chaoyan brought the envoy sent by Dongheng to the palace early in the morning.

"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, but is your emperor alone? He sent you, the right minister?" An arrogant female voice suddenly came from the masked messenger's mouth, from which we can see It turns out that the envoy sent by Dongheng is a woman.

It was Shen Chaoyan who sent someone to bring the female envoy into the capital yesterday, so what the female envoy said just now did not attract the attention of other courtiers. Instead, they felt that Shen Chaoyan was unlucky enough to be targeted by this arrogant woman.

The courtiers who came with Shen Chaoyan suddenly became ugly after hearing what the female envoy said.

Dongheng country/country/power is strong, it is the strongest country except Daxia, but now Daxia has such powerful weapons as fire/powder, it stands to reason that Dongheng should have its tail between its legs, But the Dongheng female envoy who came here was lucky, and she was talking to Shen Chaoyan in such an arrogant manner, obviously she was looking for faults.

Shen Chaoyan smiled and said, "The emperor asked me to come because of the friendship with Dongheng Kingdom..."

"Wait a minute." The female envoy interrupted, "Although we are envoys to your Great Xia for the purpose of peace talks, but we haven't even left in ten days. Where does the friendship come from?"

Shen Chaoyan still smiled and said, "What the envoy said is true, then please invite the envoy to go in and have a detailed talk with our emperor."

"Humph."

The female messenger snorted coldly, and then walked in arrogantly. The attitude of the other messengers who came with her was not much better.

Shen Chaoyan followed closely behind with a good temper.

"Shen Youxiang, what kind of messenger is this? He's clearly here to find fault. It's a good thing he can bear it."

"That's right, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to bear it."

The courtiers who came together with Shen Chaoyan to welcome the envoy from Dongheng Kingdom couldn't help sighing.As everyone knows, all of this was carefully arranged by Shen Chaoyan.

Because he wanted to entertain Dongheng's envoys, Ying Yuan simply chose to meet them at night.

"I have seen the Great Xia Emperor."

Although the female messenger looked down on Da Xia, she still hadn't forgotten the courtesy she should have. When she came in, she first bowed to Ying Yuan.

"Excuse me, envoy Dongheng please sit down."

Yingyuan immediately called Dongheng's envoys to sit down.

"Emperor Daxia, the one next to you is your newly 'married' imperial husband, Dingbei King Li Jin?" The female messenger directly challenged Li Jin's existence as soon as she arrived.

Ever since Li Shiyun, Dongheng Kingdom hated him to the point of itch. After all, they had fought with the Dingbei Army all these years, but lost a lot of soldiers. Now it is a rare opportunity to mock the new Dingbei King, and the female envoy will not let it go.

"The envoy's words are wrong." Ying Yuan shook his head with a smile and said, "The imperial husband, the imperial husband, naturally I will marry the king of Dingbei."

Yingyuan doesn't care what others say about him, but Yingyuan cares very much about what others say about Li Jin.

A Yuan angry?

Li Jin quickly heard from Ying Yuan's tone that Ying Yuan was offended by Dong Heng's envoy's words.Immediately, he patted Yingyuan's hand calmly, signaling him to calm down.

Don't worry, Jin, I'm fine.

Ying Yuan gave Li Jin a smile that he was fine.

The female messenger sneered, "Marry? Emperor Daxia, you are both men, don't you think it's embarrassing?"

Ying Yuan replied calmly, "I am in love with King Dingbei, why should I care about such things?"

"Uh..." The female messenger didn't expect Ying Yuan to be so bold, and she was stunned, but soon recovered, "By the way, Emperor Daxia, I believe you should know the purpose of our visit this time. In addition to peace talks, we also want to marry the princess of Daxia for the prince of our Dongheng Kingdom."

"can."

Yingyuan agrees to marry the princess.

"Okay." The female envoy nodded, and then asked someone to hand over the agreement letter they had written to Ying Yuan, "If Emperor Daxia agrees, we will be considered an alliance."

After reading the conditions brought by the female messenger, Ying Yuan said indifferently, "It is impossible for me to agree to the conditions you wrote above."

"Emperor Daxia, what do you mean?"

The female messenger's expression suddenly became ugly.

The surrounding courtiers also looked at Yingyuan, waiting for Yingyuan's answer.

"Literally." Ying Yuan put the peace talks on the table, "The terms of the peace talks given by you Dongheng basically treat our Daxia as a vassal state, and it is impossible for me to agree."

Originally, after learning about the relationship between Shen Chaoyan and Dongheng, Yingyuan knew that Dongheng sent envoys to negotiate peace, but never expected that Dongheng would have the guts to make such a request, and even let them disclose the fire/powder formula Giving them Dongheng is simply too deceitful.

and many more……

Gun/powder is mentioned in their peace book.

"King Dingbei, take a look at this." Ying Yuan picked up the peace agreement book coldly and handed it to Li Jin.

Li Jin took it and opened it to read.

as predicted.

Li Jin also saw something wrong with the peace agreement.

The female messenger narrowed her eyes slightly, and said unhurriedly, "Emperor Daxia means that he is going to fight our Dongheng?"

"If you Dongheng sincerely come to peace talks, I welcome them, but if you have ulterior motives, it's another matter."

"The conditions given by our Dongheng are not too much, you..."

"Your Majesty, I will not marry Dongheng's prince."

It's too late, it's too soon.

Ying Xichen broke in suddenly, and the first thing he said was to refuse to make a kiss.

This time.

Ying Xichen didn't wear a veil, and let Dongheng's envoy look at the freckles on his face.

Ying Xichen used to be very concerned about his appearance, but ever since he found out from Shen Chaoyan that Li Jin was interested in him, Ying Xichen became more confident and did not cover his face with a veil.

"Ying Xichen, who allowed you to come in?"

Ying Yuan's complexion suddenly darkened.

Ying Yuan made a lot of preparations to guard against Shen Chaoyan, but they were all on the periphery. After all, Shen Chaoyan was a deep-minded person. If he did too much and aroused his suspicion, it would not be beautiful.

Therefore, Ying Yuan did not move the guards of the palace.

Didn't think so.

It is precisely because of Yingyuan's actions that Yingxi sinks in.

"Your Majesty, my mother and concubine are in charge of my marriage, and it's not your turn to interfere. Besides, you clearly know that I have someone I like, but you want me to marry you. You clearly want to take the opportunity to 'revenge yourself'. "

When Ying Xishen said the four words of public revenge and personal revenge, he deliberately accentuated the pronunciation.

"Emperor Daxia, what is going on with your princess? What do you mean she already has someone she likes?"

The female messenger seized this point and waited for an opportunity to make trouble.

"To tell you the truth, my current royal husband, Li Jin, is in love with each other." Ying Xishen said this, and immediately pointed to Ying Yuan, "It's him, he only thinks about this, and he insists on forcing him Seeing my father issued this imperial decree, he forcibly separated me from King Dingbei."

Following Ying Xichen's words, most of the people present looked at Ying Yuan with weird eyes.

Ying Xichen is a princess after all, and she was also in the palace when she had smallpox, so her use of the word "forced" is worth pondering.
