"I would like to ask the Emperor of Wu to marry a woman!"

When the emperor heard this, his mind immediately began to churn, not knowing which family this Baili Chen was interested in, "I wonder which girl the second prince would like to marry. Please tell me, if that woman has a husband, I won't be able to force her into a corner."

Baili Chen spat out a few words, "It is indeed your Seventh Princess. I have already asked her and found out that she is not betrothed to anyone! "Therefore, I would like to ask the Emperor of Wu to be a beauty in adulthood."

When the emperor heard this, he immediately frowned. If it was anyone else, they would have been fine, but the Seventh Princess was his most beloved daughter. Naturally, she couldn't bear to see her marry so far away.

Thus, he looked towards Baili Chen and said, "There's no rush right now. Why don't we wait for this court to discuss this with the Imperial Consort before we give the Second Prince an answer?"

Baili Chen happily accepted. After the emperor left the palace, he immediately rushed over to Yongan Palace. However, he didn't expect that the Seventh Princess was also there, trying to force him to leave the palace to play.

Imperial Concubine Liu saw that the emperor's expression wasn't good, so she opened her mouth to ask, "What's wrong with the emperor? But what trouble had he encountered? Even though chenqie does not understand the matters of the imperial court, she still wishes to share some of the Emperor's worries. "

When the Emperor heard this, he had a complicated expression as he glanced at Seventh Princess. "The Second Prince of the Liang Prefecture mentioned earlier that he wants to marry Little Seven as the second prince's consort."

When Liu Gui Fei heard this, she was startled in her heart. Although she didn't know about the matters of the Imperial Court, she knew that Liang Guo and Wu Guo had only maintained peace on the surface these years. Liang Guo was secretly eyeing Wu Guo covetously.

Without waiting for Imperial Concubine Liu to speak, Seventh Princess immediately shouted, "I don't want it, I don't want to marry into Liang Country!" As she spoke, the Seventh Princess ran over to the Emperor's side and placed her head on her knee.

Lifting up his head, tears continued to flow down his face, "Royal father, you couldn't have sent Xiao Qi to such a far place, could you? In the future, Xiao Qi will definitely be obedient and not go out to play. Royal father, please don't marry Xiao Qi to that Second Prince, okay? Xiao Qi doesn't want to marry him! "

The Emperor tenderly caressed the Seventh Princess' face and wiped her tears. "Royal Father naturally wouldn't marry Xiao Qi into the Wu Country. Tomorrow, Royal Father will reject the Second Prince."

Seventh Princess immediately burst into laughter when she heard this. She sobbed and said to the Emperor, "Little Seven knew that Imperial Father was the best!" As he spoke, he pounced on the emperor.

The emperor immediately burst into laughter, feigning anger as he looked at the seventh princess. "Look, you've made me look like this. How am I supposed to discuss matters with the court officials later?" Seventh Princess stuck out her tongue in embarrassment when she saw the tears and snot on the Emperor's shoulders.

When the emperor returned to the imperial study, he was waiting for Baili Chen in the side chamber. The emperor looked at Baili Chen and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the second prince. The imperial concubine has already told me that she wants to keep the seventh princess by my side for a few more years.

Hearing this, Baili Chen only smiled, "The relationship between the Imperial Concubine and the Seventh Princess is so good that it's really enviable. Since the Imperial Concubine is unwilling to part with the princess, then Baili Chen can only change his target for marriage. I heard that your princess Jing He is also an outstanding woman. Why don't you just let her marry you?"

Hearing this, the emperor's face immediately changed, "The second prince doesn't know. The young lady of the Prime Minister's Estate disappeared a year ago and has yet to be found. It is uncertain if he is still alive or not. Why not look at the other women?"

Baili Chen shook his head and said firmly, "Emperor Wu can just grant the marriage. As for the young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate, she will send someone to look for her."

Hearing this, the Emperor looked troubled. Seeing this, Baili Chen immediately spoke again, "After our marriage, we are willing to sign a century-old contract with Wu Country."

Although he did not say anything, his heart had already begun to hesitate. He then opened his mouth and said, "That is the Prime Minister's daughter after all. I naturally have to ask the Prime Minister for his opinion. After we discuss it with him, we can give a reply to the Second Prince, how about it?"

Hearing that, Baili Chen did not say anything more. In any case, from his point of view, the Emperor had already started to waver. After that, everything would be easier to handle.

It wasn't easy for him to dispel the idea of the Emperor choosing a wife for him, and now there was a Liang Guo's Second Prince that was asking to marry him. According to his understanding of the Emperor over the years, the Emperor was willing to marry him.

In the end, the Emperor would most likely agree. After all, in the Emperor's heart, if he could exchange this unknown woman for a hundred years of peace between the Kingdom of Wu and the Kingdom of Liang, it would be worth it.

After sending Baili Chen off, the emperor immediately summoned the government and told them about the situation. The emperor asked the government's intentions first, "Prime Minister, what do you think of what the second prince of the Liang Kingdom has said today?"

"Reporting to the emperor, this old official would have definitely agreed to it if it was any other time, but now that my son's life or death is uncertain, this old official feels that it is inappropriate. Perhaps the second prince of Liang Country has just had a whim, if she doesn't find her little girl later on, I can't guarantee that he won't go back on his word. Moreover, this old official will use this as an excuse, and at that time, this old official won't have a third daughter."

Actually, what he said wasn't unreasonable, but the Emperor still didn't want to give up such a good opportunity. As he stood to the side and saw the change in the Emperor's mentality, he immediately said, "Imperial Father, this son thinks what Prime Minister said is reasonable. The Kingdom of Liang has always been eyeing our Wu Country covetously, he definitely hasn't made such an agreement just because of a missing Yu. Moreover, Imperial Father bestowed Jingzhou to be a fiefdom. If it was so, wouldn't it be a waste for the Liang Nation to receive such a huge sum of income each year? "

The emperor frowned as he glanced at Rong Qian. Previously, he did indeed have the thought of marrying Rong Qian in the future, which was why Jing Prefecture was in the future. However, he didn't expect so many things to happen in the future.

Furthermore, he rejected the emperor's offer several times during this period of time. The emperor felt that it was because he didn't have enough money that he became more and more uncontrollable.

Thinking this way, the Emperor was determined to marry off Liang Guo's second prince, so he waved his hand and said, "Alright, I've already made my decision on this matter."

He wanted to persuade the emperor to change his mind, "Imperial Father, if we agree to that Baili Chen's request, wouldn't it be a joke to the people of the world that we, the great powers, would have to rely on a long-lost woman to maintain the peace?"
