Yan Qing nodded slightly: "What His Highness the Crown Prince said is that even though it is a marriage between the two countries, Yan Qing naturally hopes to find someone who is destined to be with him. As a member of the royal family, the love between children is always beyond his control. Now, he dare not do it in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. To hide it, Yan Qing hopes to marry a dignified and sensible princess who can help me realize my wish as soon as possible. I also hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will make it happen."
Yan Qing's answer already shows his ambition. Sooner or later, he will inherit the throne, but who doesn't want to realize it as soon as possible. Even the prince himself, didn't he want to be crowned the great treasure sooner? After all, only when you stand in that position can your power reach its peak.
But what princess can't do this in a dignified and sensible way? They all learned palace rules from childhood and women who grew up in the palace, the most important thing is education. Therefore, what is important is not this one, what is important is what lies behind. Who has the ability to be the prince and concubine well and can help Yan Qing become a great treasure as soon as possible is the most important thing. Only then can we be considered to be on the same page and have the same goals.
The prince nodded: "The eighth prince has great ambitions, and I deeply admire him. However, the matter of marriage still needs to be decided by the father. No matter which princess the eighth prince marries in the end, we, the Yan Kingdom, will fully help."
Yan Qing immediately clasped his fists to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince."
"Eighth Prince, have a good rest. Let's go to Father's side first and see you at the banquet later." The prince stood up to say goodbye, and the princesses also stood up to say goodbye.
After walking for a while, when he saw that he was about to reach the pavilion where Emperor Yanyun was resting, the prince turned around and said, "Do you have the answer in your mind? Do you need me to explain it to my father?"
"Jiu Mei, what do you think?" Yan Yao asked.
"It seems that the eighth prince of the Yi Kingdom wants to marry the fifth sister. After all, with the help of the queen and the prince's brother, he can realize his ambition earlier. He knows very well that he wants to marry a good wife, not a sweetheart. So the fifth sister , are you willing?" Yan Shu couldn't help but worry for Yan Yu.
"What does it matter whether I am willing or not? Isn't it like this for everyone I marry? This is my fate." Yan Yu replied calmly.
"What about you, Sixth Sister? Do you still want to fight for it?" Yan Shu asked Yan Shu again.
"Forget it, I'm afraid my ability is not worthy of his ambition. Without Fifth Sister and your resourcefulness, I'd better find someone who suits me." Yan Yao is very self-aware.
"Jiu Mei, what about you?" the prince asked.
"Brother Prince, are you joking? I'm still young and I'm not in a hurry to get married. I just came here today to accompany the fifth and sixth sisters." Yan Shu replied with a smile.
The prince nodded, indicating that he knew what was going on. Then she looked back at Yan Yu: "Fifth sister, have you really made up your mind? If you don't want to get married, I'll go talk to my father. This may not be the only way to go."
Yan Yu shook her head and looked decisively: "Brother Prince, I have already thought about it. If this is my destiny, being the prince concubine, queen, and empress dowager of the Yi Kingdom is actually not bad. At least it is more interesting than other small countries."
Now that they had reached a consensus, the prince said no more. The group went directly to see Emperor Yanyun.
Later at the banquet, Yan Qing expressed his intention to Emperor Yanyun again and wanted to marry the princess of Yan Kingdom. Emperor Yanyun asked several times and decreed that the fifth princess Yan Yu should be married to the eighth prince of Yi Kingdom. The prince returned to Yi Kingdom to issue a letter of engagement and discuss the wedding date. Yan Qing knelt down to thank Emperor Yanyun, and toasted to the prince and the fifth princess. During the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
In the blink of an eye, the good news spread to every corner of the palace, and everyone was filled with joy. Finally, another happy event was approaching.
