Upon seeing this, Prince Ino immediately raised an appreciative smile and echoed: "I admire Prince An's dedication. With Prince An's words, our Gudan royal family can rest assured to entrust the little princess to Prince An."
"Prince Inuo is so complimentary. This is what I should do." Wu Zechen rarely used self-identification, and his tone was full of solemnity, more like making a promise to Prince Inuo.
Prince Inuo smiled and nodded repeatedly, obviously very satisfied with Wu Zechen's reaction.
Seeing these two people singing and settling the matter directly, how could the emperor not see that these two people had discussed it long ago?
At that moment, he was so angry that he almost lost his breath. He held the armrests of the dragon chair tightly with his palms. When he saw that these two people had the nerve to turn to look at him, as if they were waiting for him to make up his mind.
He almost squeezed out three words through his teeth: "It's up to you."
Now that things have come to this, what else can he say? Is it possible to really object to this matter and make Gu Danguo angry, or even turn against him?
This is no longer a question of whether he dares to do so, but it is absolutely not a question of whether he dares to do so!
The Gudan Kingdom is powerful, and there are not many countries it has to face around its borders. The strongest one is the Great Zhou Dynasty, followed by the Northern Barbarians. The other countries are not afraid of the Gudan Kingdom at all.
But the Great Zhou is different. There are many countries bordering it, and the five major countries are eyeing them. Although it seems to be okay now, if the Great Zhou goes to war with any country, the other countries will definitely not stand aside and watch. The only possibility is to get involved and get a piece of the pie.
It was precisely with these considerations in mind that the emperor did not want to quarrel with the Gudan Kingdom. In order to force a woman into Prince An's palace, the price was obviously too high and not worth it.
With these three words "Emperor", the matter of taking in the concubine would just go away.
How big the battle just now was, how painful his face is now. The emperor never thought that the seemingly sound plan would change again, and it would be such an unexpected reversal!
Moreover, after Xia Luotong's identity was confirmed, the matter of inserting women into Prince An's Mansion was completely out of the question! There will be no such opportunity in the future, unless you want to offend the Gudan Kingdom!
Prince Inuo has made his words so clear today. If Da Zhou dares to go back on his word in the future, then Gu Dan will never give up even for the sake of face and dignity. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that Gu Dan is easy to bully?
The emperor was very angry, and he hated Wu Zechen and Xia Luotong even more. He thought that he, the great emperor of Zhou, couldn't even do such a thing as he wished. What's the point? !
In the final analysis, the power in hand is still not enough! Otherwise, we could have forced people into Prince An's Mansion long ago, so why wait until now? By the time Xia Luotong's identity was confirmed by the Gudan Kingdom!
Seeing the emperor drinking one cup after another in a bad mood, the minister of household affairs, who had also lost his face, did not dare to say a word. Even the emperor was at a loss. How could he, a mere minister of household affairs, have the same relationship with Gu Danguo and Prince An's Mansion? Go against the behemoth? Don't want to die?
I was so happy just now, but now I feel so embarrassed, thinking that in order to win the position of Prince An's concubine, I gave gifts to Master Xu and Xia Zhihe, the Minister of Household Affairs. As a result, not only was my money wasted, but my face was also ruined. lost.
Sensing the mocking glances from around him, the Minister of Tobe felt as if he was on pins and needles, so he had no choice but to take his legitimate daughter and hide out of the hall with an excuse, unable to stay any longer.
Everyone looked at Prince Ino and Prince An talking and laughing happily. With their familiar demeanor, it was obvious that they had known about this for some time. Otherwise, how could they be so close?
But the three of them have been holding back such a big matter until today without revealing it. If the emperor hadn't wanted to force the concubine into Prince An's palace, this matter might not have been revealed.
But until now, there are still many people who are bombarded by this incident and can't react. Xia Luotong, who was originally from a humble background, suddenly became the little princess of the Gudan Kingdom. This gap makes many people feel dizzy.
But these people do not include Xia Zhihe.
At this time, Xia Zhihe not only did not faint, he was even extraordinarily sober. Sober that he still remembered that he was now the consort of the Gudan Kingdom!
Thinking that Prince Ino had just said that King Gudan's edict was on his way to the capital, Xia Zhihe's mood could not be described as more than exciting.
With his current status, if he adds another level of identity as the Prince Consort of the Gudan Kingdom, and has Xia Luotong, the daughter of the little princess of the Gudan Kingdom, his status will definitely rise to the next level!
Not only will the prince value him more, he may even surpass his father-in-law Li Ge and stand on a higher ground now!
If that were the case, he wouldn't have to endure Mr. Li anymore! You can even feel proud in front of Mr. Li Ge, and you don’t have to look at Mr. Li Ge’s face anymore!
Thinking like this, Xia Zhihe couldn't wait, and even intervened before Xia Luotong finished speaking.
"Prince Inuo, are you saying that King Gudan's edict is already on the way? Then we should go to Gudan to meet the Holy Spirit? After all, when Sun...and Tong'er's mother and I got married, we had not yet met the king. His Majesty."
Xia Zhihe felt that he had made it very clear. He didn't know Sun's identity when they got married. Now that he knows it, is his father-in-law not allowed to see him?
However, he was even more dissatisfied with Xia Luotong. Why didn't this unfilial daughter know how to tell him about such a big matter? He is her biological father!
As a result, he now doesn't know what Sun's real name is, or even how to address her.
However, just when Xia Zhihe was complaining about Xia Luotong and thinking about a better future and bright prospects, Prince Ino's words knocked him off the clouds.
"What does it have to do with Mr. Xia?" Prince Ino changed his gentle and doting look towards Xia Luotong just now and looked at Xia Zhihe with a cold face.
"What?" Xia Zhihe looked at Prince Ino blankly, without reacting at all.
"What I mean is that my father's imperial edict is for my cousin. What does it have to do with Mr. Xia?" Prince Ino didn't have a good look towards Xia Zhihe.
He felt that he had already demonstrated his outstanding endurance by not drawing his sword and killing this heartless man who had let down his aunt.
And just because the Emperor of Zhou was not easy to show off, it didn't mean that he still took Xia Zhihe seriously. After all, Xia Zhihe was just an official of Zhou, and not from his Gudan Kingdom. Why should he save face for Xia Zhihe?
