Emperor Zhaocheng frowned when he heard that Yan Li was the first to resist the imperial decree. He subconsciously felt that Yan Li would not resist the imperial decree.

But since it was Yan Li who resisted the decree, this matter would be easy to handle.

Emperor Zhaocheng picked up the wine cup in front of him and said with a gentle smile: "Don't be upset, Ayi. Mu Cang is very determined about this marriage, and Yan Li is not unmarried. It proves that their love is stronger than gold. Let's not get involved." and--"

"That's my daughter." Jiang Yi interrupted him with a cold voice, "Your Majesty wants Yan Li to stay in the Kingdom of Mu?"

Emperor Zhaocheng pondered for a moment: "Actually, you can go back after getting married."

Jiang Yi remained calm and silent.

"My sister is only ten years old. I wonder why His Majesty the Emperor is so eager to get her married?" Yan Jin at the distinguished guest table seemed puzzled, "Even if the Emperor wants her to marry the heir of the Mu Kingdom's royal family, wait another two years. , is the right age to leave the cabinet, isn’t it?”

Yan Li is only ten years old.

According to the usual practice for daughters from ordinary aristocratic families, marriage discussions begin at this age.

No matter what kind of family it is, it is not a trivial matter for a daughter to discuss marriage. Those who pursue fame and fortune will consider the interests of the family and not bring benefits to the family.

The parents who love their daughter are more concerned about the family background, character, and knowledge of the young masters of various aristocratic families, and choose a reliable one from them.

This process usually takes at least a year.

Therefore, most girls have to wait until they are ten or seventeen years old before they actually get married.

Yan Li was married off at the age of ten, which was obviously too early.

When Emperor Zhaocheng heard this question, he first turned to look at Taifu Jiang at the civil servants' table, and then smiled lightly: "This question is actually a coincidence."

Yan Jin turned slightly and said, "Listen attentively."

Ever since they stepped into the imperial city, the attitude of the Queen of Jin and several princes was a bit aggressive, and their high-handedness had already displeased the civil and military officials.

At this time, I felt more and more dissatisfied when I heard that one of their princes actually talked to the emperor in such an attitude.

"The strength of Jin State is actually comparable to that of Mu State." Prime Minister Gu sat at the top of the list of civil servants and looked up at the Queen of Jin and several princes, "The prince of your country is a junior after all, and his status is slightly lower, Your Majesty It’s better to be polite when speaking in front of others.”

Jiang Yi squinted her eyes, a cold color flashing in her beautiful eyes: "Prime Minister Gu, do you want to teach my son for me?"

"Don't dare."

"Since we know it is the emperor who is speaking, why is a minister like you interrupting?" Jiang Yi smiled coldly, "Do you want to replace him?"

Prime Minister Gu's expression changed: "Queen Jiang!"

"Jiang Yi!" Taifu Jiang said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Jiang Yi was too lazy to pay attention to him.

She will naturally settle her accounts with the Jiang family after the Sun Palace Banquet is over.

"Your Majesty." Prime Minister Gu stood up and left the table, knelt down to plead guilty, "I never dare to show any rebellious thoughts, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhaocheng said calmly: "This is a day for me and Jiang Yi to reminisce about the past. No matter what we say, it is our own business. Others should not ruin the atmosphere."

Prime Minister Gu's face stiffened slightly: "...Yes."

Jiang Yi's face softened slightly and she ordered: "Yan Zheng, take the three emperor brothers to go to the Ninth Prince in person. You must stop the Ninth Prince and Yan Li from worshiping."

Yan Zheng stood up and bowed to accept the order: "My son, I obey the order."

The princes stood up and left one after another.

Emperor Zhaocheng watched them walk out of the palace without saying a word, sighing in his heart, it was okay.

Jiang Yi did not go in person.

With Mu Cang's temper and the guards of the Nine Princes' Mansion, it would be easy to stop this prince.

There should be no delays in getting married on 꿷日꺶.

However, as an emperor, it is a bit regretful that he did not solemnize the marriage that he personally bestowed upon him.

The Queen Mother has lived in the palace for a long time and has not been interested in outside affairs for a long time.

Mu Cang is young but senior, and there are no other elders in the royal family. It turns out that he planned to go to the Jiuwang Mansion to preside over the wedding after the morning court, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yi suddenly appeared...

Emperor Zhaocheng thought of the news he received the day before yesterday. According to the original plan, the Jin envoys should arrive tomorrow night or early the day after tomorrow.

He was still glad in his heart that by the time Jiang Yi and his party arrived in the Mu Kingdom, the marriage between the Ninth Prince and Yan Li had already been completed.

When Yan Li recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, he also happened to have his son-in-law, Mu Cang, meet his mother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, when Jiang Yi and the other princes heard the news about Mu Cang's marriage, they shortened their rest time and rushed to the imperial city of Mu Kingdom day and night in an attempt to stop the marriage.

Well, it seems that Jiang Yi's attitude should have been softened at this time.

"Your Majesty." Taifu Jiang stood up and said as a courtier, "I have too many doubts about what happened ten years ago. I am eager to know what is hidden. I hope the Emperor can clear up my doubts."

Over the years, the Jiang family has been plagued by rumors, but one day he discovered that there was another hidden story behind the matter. He really wanted to know what the truth was.

"Master, please sit down." Emperor Zhaocheng waved his hand, "The truth is actually very simple. The person A Yi fell in love with back then was the seventh prince of the Jin Kingdom and the current emperor of the Jin Kingdom."

If he is already over half a year old, Emperor Zhaocheng still feels a little melancholy when talking about the past.

The woman he loves most doesn't choose him because of him.

She didn't want to be married to so many women.

As for why she married to Jin...it wasn't entirely Jiang Yi's choice.

Emperor Zhaocheng took a sip of wine and said, "I want the marriage between Mu and Jin to be good for both countries, but there are many scruples about the marriage and it is difficult to make it public, so I have kept it secret for so many years."

The truth is of course more than that.

It was just that the envoys from Jin were not present, so Emperor Zhaocheng could not make it too clear.

At that time, the seventh prince of Jin was not of high birth, not only was he not qualified to compete for the throne, but he was also exiled to Mu as a hostage.

It was completely beyond Emperor Zhaocheng's expectation that Jiang Yi liked him. At first, he was so angry that he wanted to kill that person.

But in the end, he did not stop it.

During this period, all kinds of dissatisfaction, obstruction, alienation, and threats were used, but Jiang Yi remained unmoved.

After more than half a year of entanglement, Jiang Yi made a suggestion to him - to support the seventh prince to ascend the throne, and to marry Jin to form a good relationship between Qin and Jin.

He also described the various benefits after the marriage.

After all, Mu was not in an advantageous position, facing the siege of Jin, Beijiang and Jin on three sides, and Beijiang and Jin were ambitious all year round.

Once Jin also wanted a piece of the pie, Mu's situation would be worrying.

Jiang Yi has always been a smart woman.

The various interests she described could not be denied by Emperor Zhaocheng, and he had to consider the importance of marriage.

Among the princes of Jin who competed for the throne, only the Seventh Prince had the easiest temperament to control, and he had nothing. Once he helped him get the throne, at least he would be grateful.

It must be said that Jiang Yi saw through the Seventh Prince fifteen years ago. Over the years, the man who has ascended the throne has never let her down.
