Chapter 536 Mind

In the posthouse, the minister in charge of communicating with Beiqu envoys conveyed the emperor's intentions.

After hearing his words, the envoy seemed a little embarrassed, and after a long silence, he spoke again, "If I am the first princess, which prince does His Majesty intend to betroth her to?"

The minister couldn't help being startled, he really couldn't answer these words, after all, the emperor's mind cannot be guessed by others.

"What? Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor wants me to be a concubine for someone else?"

Although in Beiqu, the status of women is not very high, but in the end, she is the king's own younger sister, which is not comparable to ordinary women.

If she stays in Beiqu to get married, she will also be the main wife of the nobleman, and the king will restrain the nobleman, and will not let him, like others, put the main wife behind and raise a bunch of concubines.

If you marry into the Celestial Dynasty, there are some things you can't control, but at least, you have to be a regular wife.

If you don't ask the first princess, but other princesses, then it doesn't matter.

"In my dynasty, there are only eleven princes who have never been married. There is also a king of Hunan who reconciled with the concubine before and is now a fief in southern Hunan."

"Even if the first princess can't marry the eleventh prince, it's a good choice to marry the king of Xiang. After all, southern Hunan is very rich."

After listening to the envoy of Beiqu, the minister spoke again, expressing his thoughts.

"Prince Xiang? I heard that King Xiang lost one of his legs because of an injury. Although it's disrespectful to say so, none of the noble ladies in your dynasty are willing to be his concubine, let alone our first princess?"

The envoy was very dissatisfied, and expressed his attitude forcefully, "If the Celestial Dynasty is really willing to marry our first princess, I can go back and tell the king, but if we want our first princess to marry, it must be the first concubine!"

"Otherwise, if the two countries have a good relationship, don't worry about which princess is here for the marriage. Anyway, you don't care so much about the choice of side concubine."

When the envoy said this, the minister was also very displeased. The two people who were arguing did not notice that in the dark, a petite figure was frowning tightly.

When he went to court the next day, the minister reported to the emperor what the Beiqu envoy had said after considering it.

"It's a small country, but it's quite arrogant!" Coughing twice, the emperor's face was not very good-looking.

He already knew about the encounter with the assassin in Prince Yu's mansion, and he was also clear about Eleven's thoughts, plus the Ninth Prince, these days, he felt quite powerless.

Now, with more things about Beiqu, he feels that the marriage can only be with the first princess, but the first princess of Beiqu cannot be the eleventh concubine, but can only be a side concubine.

Even if Eleven said his thoughts, he still felt a little unwilling.

He didn't really want to give the throne to Lao Qi, not just because of the things that An Wu had found out before.

On the way back from Andong Palace, he dreamed of Empress Yu, she just stood there without saying anything.

Even so, he still felt guilty. He thought that only he knew what happened back then, but when he thought of Empress Yu, he couldn't help but think of the Yu family.

He would occasionally think, is it really because Lao Qi wants the throne because he is the first prince?
What happened back then... Did he notice it, and what did he think?
Could it be that he just wanted the world and used it to take revenge on himself?

The emperor didn't know, he couldn't guess what Pei Junyi was thinking.

Occasionally, he would still think of Pei Junyi's eyes when he looked at him, with respect and admiration for his father, but that... is it true?
