Xuanyuan Chen and Xuanyuan Jing stood behind a tree as Xuanyuan Jing asked, "Third brother, what do you think about this matter?"
Xuanyuan Chen frowned and said: "This time's bandits, it seems that it is for the money. However, when we fought with them, we did not use our full strength.
Xuanyuan Jing raised his eyebrows, and in response to Xuanyuan Chen's words, he could not deny it, and said with a smile: "What, Third Brother, could it be that you're afraid?"
Xuanyuan Chen smiled lightly: "How could that be?" Finished speaking, he shot a glance at Xuanyuan Jing.
The capital was under the watch of the Emperor, so how could there be so many bandits? The person behind all of this must have some sort of motive.
Xuanyuan Chen and Xuanyuan Jing returned with a great harvest, the civil and military officials of the imperial court were welcoming the two princes back to the Qing He Hall, boxes after boxes of stolen goods were sent to the treasury, filling it up.
Emperor Xuanyuan's determined face had a happy smile, his golden mouth opened wide, "On the official purchase deal, Chen Er and Jing Er have contributed greatly, if you need any rewards, just ask."
Xuanyuan Chen respectfully saluted towards the Emperor Xuanyuan, and humbly rejected this rare opportunity, "To be able to serve royal father, is it really your son's duty to do so, why do you need to bestow me such a gift?"
"Father, this son has heard of Prime Minister Ye's daughter, Ye Ningyu, and has a reputation that stands above the rest of the capital. This son had once been fortunate enough to see her daughter here, and was very pleased to see her like this. Therefore, in front of the Qing He Hall, he asked to marry the Prime Minister's daughter, Ye Ningyu. I hope that royal father can grant my wish. "
Even if Emperor Xuanyuan had the whereabouts of these few princes firmly within his grasp, he had no choice but to sigh. This Xuanyuan Jing was still far beyond his expectations, to actually take this opportunity to marry Ye Ningyu.
This clearly showed his ambition.
"Oh? Jing Er had thought about it carefully. Ye Qing, do you think that it is possible for our Jing Er to be compatible with your little girl? " Emperor Xuanyuan suddenly turned and asked Prime Minister Ye.
Prime Minister Ye was just sighing at Xuanyuan Jing's boldness and bravery. Who would have thought that the emperor would turn around and throw this hot potato to him? As his official, he had no choice but to accept it.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this old subject thinks that my daughter's looks are average, and is not what King Jing said. This old subject is afraid that my own daughter is not worthy to be with King Jing." Prime Minister Ye wiped off the cold sweat that did not exist, and hesitated for a while, not knowing how to answer.
"Then according to Ye Qing's idea, for this marriage, your Ye Family cannot compare to Jing Er? But we thought that within the Miss Ye, Jing Er was extraordinarily handsome, and was in fact a good match. How about we pass down the decree to her today, I wonder what Ye Qing thinks about this? " Emperor Xuanyuan suddenly said these words, causing all the court officials to be shocked.
The Prime Minister Ye was both sad and happy as he said, "We will depend on the Emperor."
Emperor Xuanyuan laughed until lines appeared at the corners of his eyes: "Since it's like this, I will make the decision and bestow Ye Qing's beloved daughter to Jing Er."
Prime Minister Changsun was surprised, he felt that with the Emperor's actions, the situation was not good. If the Ye Family and the King Jing got closer, wouldn't the King Jing's help be more stable?
Fortunately, the Prince Chen still had the support of the General's Estate. The two factions could be considered to be able to contend with each other.
Xuanyuan Chen remained calm and collected as he looked at the expressions of everyone around him. A few were happy while others were worried. However, they never expected that Xuanyuan Jing would actually plan ahead of time.
"According to the heavens, this is the Emperor's edict. Ever since the twenty-ninth year of the Heaven Realm, officials who bought things with Liu Yu as the leader had been doing so many times in the imperial government, causing extensive influence and vile behavior. Violation of the Heavenly Sage Kingdom Law. With the matter of the Nanping's water hazard, the case of the buyer was brought up. The Prince Chen and the King Jing did not sleep at all throughout the night. "Therefore, we celebrate the same day in the world. With an annual tax payment, everyone will receive twenty percent of the income."
The matter of buying an official from the water calamity in Nanping, after many years, had finally been completely eradicated.
This vast and mighty case had instantly spread throughout the entire Heavenly Sage Kingdom.
Countless corrupt officials and countless bugs in the imperial court had all been uprooted. When the poor citizens, who had been tormented by corrupt officials, heard this, they all jumped in joy, crying out in delight.
A greedy official would be killed, especially this serious atmosphere, it enveloped the entire Heavenly Sage Kingdom in a atmosphere of someone who could buy anything with just a bit of money.
It was only when the imperial edict was passed down that the atmosphere gradually disappeared within the Heavenly Saint Realm.
And at this moment, in the Right Prime Minister Palace, Ye Ningyu found out from her father that Xuanyuan Jing was actually requesting for an imperial decree to bestow upon him a marriage, he was extremely shocked.
For a moment, she lost her composure and shouted, "I don't want to marry Xuanyuan Jing! Daddy, can you tell the Emperor about this? I really don't like the Lord King Jing, if the decree is passed down, then it would be too late. "
Prime Minister Ye had long anticipated his daughter's reaction, but never would he have thought that she would completely forget her proper etiquette and start shouting like a mad person who had lost his mind.
Prime Minister Ye was helpless. He grabbed Ye Ningyu's arm and advised: "Daughter, once the emperor opens his mouth, it will be a foregone conclusion. Moreover, this Xuanyuan Jing is a prince after all, there is no need for you to be like this. It would be better for me to give up earlier and prepare to marry to King Jing. "
"Father, I know that King Jing is not bad, but from the first time daughter saw Prince Chen, she had liked him. I've loved it like this for more than ten years. How could I give up so easily? "
After that, Ye Ningyu could no longer contain any men in her heart. Even though she knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to be with Xuanyuan Chen, he still could not help but daydream.
Seeing her daughter, whom she doted on since she was young, crying like she was about to cry, Prime Minister Ye was also extremely reluctant. However, he clenched his teeth, intending to let her see the reality of the situation and completely give up on Xuanyuan Chen.
If it was some king, he would give it his all to fight for his daughter, but she should not have fallen for that Prince Chen!
"My daughter, there is no way to save this. You'd better get ready. Maybe tomorrow the Uncle Fu would come to the Prime Minister to announce the decree. Today, the emperor was going to hold a welcoming banquet for the Prince Chen and her. Wash yourself properly, and come with me to the palace. "
Ye Ningyu clenched her teeth, and with great unwillingness, she raised that peerlessly beautiful tear-stained face and retorted, "Father, I don't care, I just don't want to marry Xuanyuan Jing!"
