"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good! It's not good!"
In Changle Palace, a little palace maid rushed into the palace in a panic, climbed into the small attic where Changle lived, and said in a panic while running.
Chang Le, who was sitting by the window and reading the newspaper, heard the noise and couldn't help but turn around and frowned: "Li'er, what happened to make you so panicked?"
Li'er didn't even care to take a breath, and said hurriedly like pouring beans: "Your Highness, something serious has happened. The prime minister of the Harsha Dynasty proposed to Your Majesty in the court hall. Their king wants to marry Your Highness as his princess!"
"Snapped!"
As soon as the little palace maid finished speaking, the newspaper in Changle's hand fell to the ground with a "pop" sound. Her little face suddenly turned pale, and her spiritual eyes instantly lost their sparkle.
Make peace!
These two words appeared subconsciously in Changle's mind. Although she knew since she was a child that she was born in an imperial family and could never make the decision on her own marriage, she never thought that such a thing as marriage would fall on her. A trace of sadness suddenly arose in her heart.
Who is King Harsha? How old is he? What does it look like? Which country is he the king of?
She didn't know all the information, but she had to accept her father's arrangement and marry a person she said she had met! How sad!
"I...what did my father say?"
After a long time, Chang Le, who was in a state of confusion, raised his head and asked with tears in his eyes.
"Ah? Your Highness... Your Highness, slave... I don't know. I heard the little wheel outside Taiji Hall saying that King Harsha wanted to marry you, so he rushed over immediately. When I came back, Marquis Yong'an was following him. Are the ministers from Honglu Temple making a noise~?"
When Li'er heard Chang Le's question, her little face suddenly wrinkled and she said with a bitter expression.
"Marquis Yong'an? Li'er, are you saying that brother Xiaoxuan also went to court today?"
Chang Le, who had just felt that the world was falling apart, heard the words Yong'an Hou from Li'er's mouth, and immediately seemed to find a faint light in the darkness. Her tone was not as desperate as before, and seemed to have such a strong tone. A glimmer of life.
"Yeah, yes, Your Highness, it is said that His Majesty personally ordered Yong'an Marquis to come and participate in today's court meeting!"
Li'er really wanted to talk about such a big thing as marriage. Even if Empress Changsun came, she might not be able to help. Li Zexuan, a Marquis of Yong'an, had no hope. However, seeing Chang Le's look of anticipation, she still said these words. Buried deep in my heart.
A glimmer of hope rose in Chang Le's heart, and he quickly said: "Then...Li'er, go find out the news quickly and see what my father decided! I don't believe...that my father would be so cruel. !”
I don’t believe that Brother Xiaoxuan would be indifferent!
Of course, the last sentence she just said to herself in her heart.
"Well! Your Highness, please wait, this slave will go right now!"
Li'er responded and immediately ran down to the attic.
Chang Le walked to the window, and a pair of magpies happened to fly on the branches outside the window. They were playing with each other on the branches. Chang Le thought with some sadness:
"Bird, bird, if only I could be like you, find the person I like and live my life freely, how wonderful it would be!"
.............................
Tai Chi Hall.
Basically all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have expressed their stance. As things have developed now, they are just waiting for Li Er to "deliver a verdict".
"Arona, Grand Chancellor, my beloved daughter is still young and frail, so she is not suitable for marrying far away. King Harsha and the Tang Dynasty want to have a good relationship for a hundred years. I have already felt it, but the marriage is still not possible. Longer term planning is needed!”
Li Er looked at Alonashun, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the envoys from other countries who were watching the excitement and did not mind the matter, and said in a deep voice.
The hard-working official translator of Honglu Temple, when he saw Li Er speaking in person, he knew that he could finally return to his normal work, and quickly translated Li Er's original words to Alonashun and other envoys from various countries.
"boom!"
After the Southeast Asian envoys understood Li Er's decision, they couldn't help but started talking quietly. Some were surprised, some were angry, and some were gloating. Of course, most of them were gloating and watching the joke, especially with Jie. Envoys from the neighboring countries of the Japanese dynasty, such as Gauda, Nibala, and Wallabi.
No one who could be sent as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty was an idiot. Anyone with a little common sense could figure out the purpose of King Harsha's desire to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty. If King Harsha really succeeds, then the small countries surrounding the Harsha Dynasty may be in danger of annihilation at any time!
Therefore, after hearing that Li Er rejected Alonashun's request, while they were relieved, of course they couldn't help but feel happy.
"Your Majesty, if Princess Changle is physically inconvenient, other princesses can do it too! My king is very sincere in forming a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty and the Qin and Jin Dynasties!"
Aronas's face turned red, he paused, and still said unwillingly.
Is there really no end to this old bastard?
Li Zexuan on the side couldn't help but frowned. If the situation hadn't been wrong, he really wanted to beat this guy up and then throw him out!
"I have said that we will discuss the matter of marriage later! If Prime Minister Arona Shun has nothing else to do, please step aside first!"
Li Er frowned. To be honest, he felt a little irritable at the moment.
"This... is, thank you, Your Majesty!"
After all, Aluonashun was also the prime minister of a country. Although the translator from Honglu Temple translated Li Er's words very smoothly and naturally, he could still hear the displeasure in Li Er's words, so he decisively stepped aside. Talk again.
After all, he only came to seek marriage, not to make enemies. What's more, the Harsha Dynasty could not afford to make such an enmity against such a giant as the Tang Dynasty.
"Okay! I like the gifts that the envoys brought to me very much. In addition to marriage, if you have any requests for me from the Tang Dynasty, you can feel free to say them here. After discussing with the ministers in the court, I will resolve them as appropriate! "
Li Er nodded and said with a smile to the envoys from the Thirty-Two Southeast Asian Countries.
Having just rejected Alonashun's request for marriage, it's time to give in some benefits. As the saying goes, give a sweet date with a slap. As a monarch of the heavenly kingdom, you still have to have this kind of demeanor.
The envoys looked at each other in confusion after understanding what Lao Li meant, wondering how sincere Li Er's words were.
While the envoys were hesitating, a short man with brown skin came out, slightly arched his hand towards Li Er, and said
"The envoy from Linyi State reported to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty that the Lord of our country hopes to trade with the Tang Dynasty and exchange supplies. The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory and rich resources, and the army can conquer and fight well. The Lord of our country also hopes that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can send troops to ensure the safety of sea routes. He hopes that the Great Tang Dynasty can His Majesty, Emperor Tang, can think twice!"
