Chapter 972: Marriage Alliance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Do you think it’s a good thing?” Emperor Chong’an said coldly.
Eunuch Li laughed dryly. “Your Majesty, what do you think of that little princess and the Xuanyuan Kingdom?”
Emperor Chong’an narrowed his cold eyes. Just from that letter and the 500,000 troops, it could be seen that Xuanyuan Ce valued this daughter very much.
He also had children, but he felt that it was impossible for him to do this for anyone.
If it was an opponent of similar strength, he could indeed use such a hostage in his hands.
Unfortunately, that was not the case. The abilities that the Xuanyuan Kingdom had displayed over the years made Emperor Chong’an deeply understand the difference between Great Xia and the Xuanyuan Kingdom. The Xuanyuan Kingdom was an existence that could not be shaken even if Great Xia used all its strength.
Emperor Chong’an had no doubt that if he dared to attack the young princess or use her to exchange for benefits from the Xuanyuan Kingdom, the other party might agree at first, but the consequences were definitely not something he could bear.
Therefore, apart from supporting her and waiting for the young princess to finish playing in Great Xia and escort her back, there was nothing he could do.
The more Emperor Chong’an thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.
Eunuch Li knew that the emperor had reached a dead end out of anger. He carefully reminded him, “The young princess is a woman. She has to get married in the end. If Great Xia can form a marriage alliance with the Xuanyuan Kingdom..
Emperor Chong’an was stunned for a moment before becoming even angrier. He could not even maintain his dignity as an emperor. He panted heavily and said angrily, “b.a.s.t.a.r.d, are you saying that you want the son of the Song family to marry that young princess?”
The crown prince came from the Song family’s daughter’s stomach. If the Song family formed connections with the Xuanyuan Kingdom, what was the difference between that situation and personally giving Great Xia to the Song family?
“Your Majesty, don’t be angry.” Eunuch Li was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly. He regretted talking too much, but now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to make things clear. He braced himself and said, “I just think that the young princess is still young, so it’s normal for me to be friendlv to Heir Song because of his appearance. However. a child’s
temperament has yet to be determined. Even if she likes him today, it might not be the case tomorrow.”
Seeing that the young princess could praise the Song family’s children for being good-looking in public today and even take the risk of offending the emperor to stay in the Song family, wasn’t she simply acting like a child?
However, Eunuch Li felt that she was unaware that her actions would anger Emperor Chong’an at all. Of course, it was also possible that she did not care, but this was no longer important.
Children were the easiest to coax. She would like whoever treated her well. A marriage alliance was a marriage alliance. In the end, it was unknown who would win the young princess’s favor and her heart.
Eunuch Li was just short of asking his son to seduce the young princess. Unfortunately, such a thing was embarra.s.sing to ordinary people, let alone the princes. He did not dare to do it.
The hall fell silent for a long time. It was so long that Eunuch Li thought that he could not escape this calamity that he heard the person in charge speak.
“You can leave first.”
Eunuch Li heaved a sigh of relief. With his understanding of Emperor Chong’an, he had taken his words to heart.
Emperor Chong’an did listen. He sat alone in front of the imperial desk for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was feasible.
With how much Xuanyuan Ce valued the young princess, once the marriage alliance was established, not only would he not have to worry about the Xuanyuan Kingdom attacking Great Xia, but he might also obtain unexpected benefits.
The most direct thing was that he no longer had to suffer. He no longer had to keep those old things in front of him.
He had so many sons. Apart from the eldest son who was already engaged, the second, third, and fourth sons were all suitable. As for the fifth son, Emperor Chong’an sneered. If he could be on good terms with the Xuanyuan Kingdom, the Bulwark Duke’s Residence would naturally be useless. Wasn’t it up to him to keep the position of crown prince?
The more Emperor Chong’an thought about it, the more beautiful this vision became. Even the anger he had acc.u.mulated from being threatened dissipated completely. If not for the fact that he still had his rationality, he would have immediately gotten someone to call the princes over and teach them a lesson..
