Emperor Chu looked shocked and everyone was stunned!

It turned out to be Ye Ling? How could it be her?

The marriage between the two countries has always been a marriage between princes and princesses. So, including Emperor Chu, everyone originally thought that it must be Chu Lingyun! But unexpectedly, the candidate for Princess Ye, the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was actually the Princess War of Nan Chu, Ye Ling!

Moreover, after hearing what Meng Yu said, it was because Nangong Heng admired Ye Ling and asked for marriage!

Everyone knows the intersection of Nangong Heng and Ye Ling. The two of them got married in Baili Su in Xixia two years ago, and the two played a zither and flute at the wedding banquet. It is said that the sad song was so sad and graceful that the people present felt sad and fearful, and their bones stood up!

Because of a sad song, Nangong Heng was actually moved by Ye Ling? It was indeed a zither, unique...

Chu Lingyun's face couldn't help but look ugly, and she was extremely angry! This obviously should be her marriage! She is the most noble princess in Nanchu! Ye Ling, a young widow who lost her father and mother, why should she compete with her? Ye Ling... Ye Ling... It's her again!

Chu Lingyun felt extremely hatred and angry! She almost vomited blood!

She took a deep breath and said with a smile on her face: "General Meng is really joking. Ye Ling is the Princess of War of Nan Chu, the widow of King Zhan, how can she marry someone else? Isn't this insulting King Zhan?"

Meng Qi looked indifferent, glanced at Chu Lingyun, and asked, "I don't know this person is..."

Chu Lingyun's expression froze, and she showed her identity: "I am Chu Lingyun, the third princess of Nanchu."

"Can the princess of Nan Chu decide major issues on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of Chu? I am so disrespectful." Meng Qi said expressionlessly.

Chu Lingyun frowned: "General Meng misunderstood, I just kindly reminded me."

"I am here to come to propose marriage and discuss with His Majesty the Emperor of Chu. I don't want to talk nonsense with those who are not doing anything," Meng Yu said coldly.

Chu Lingyun's face seemed to be struck by lightning! A person who was inactive? Nonsense? Meng Yu was humiliating her nakedly!

"Your Majesty the Emperor Chu, what do you think?" Meng Qi asked Emperor Chu again.

He had already stated that he was just doing things on orders, so he had no power to change anything. The Eastern Jin royal family said that they would marry Ye Ling for Nangong Heng. If Nan Chu disagreed, the marriage would not exist. It would be impossible to replace someone.

Emperor Chu understood. But such an unexpected situation made him feel a little upset for a moment, and the smile on his face had long disappeared.

Emperor Chu glanced at Ye Ying, and she sat down with her eyes down, unable to see her emotions.

"General Meng," said Emperor Chu, "Ye Ling is a meritorious general of Nan Chu, and the widow of King Zhan. I don't know if she is willing to remarry, but I need to discuss with her before making a decision."

Emperor Chu was very polite, but Meng Qi said indifferently: "Your Majesty Emperor Chu, I don't think this matter needs discussion!"

Emperor Chu frowned: "What does General Meng mean?"

"Please give me a clear answer now!" Meng Yu said coldly, "If it is done, then set the wedding date. If it is not done, I will leave to the Eastern Jin Dynasty tonight and have important things to do. We don't have to waste each other's time!"

All the officials in Nanchu have changed their expressions!

Although Meng Yu was aloof and cold, he was still quite polite at the beginning. Now, he suddenly became strong, which is in line with the usual style of the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Meng Yu's words were profound and smart people could hear them. The Eastern Jin Dynasty wanted to marry Ye Ling back for Nangong Heng, but there was no room for negotiation. If he agreed, marry, form an alliance. If he didn't agree, he would turn against him immediately. Because the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not have to form an alliance with Nan Chu. This is what Nan Chu expected and needed, and there were other choices for the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

As Meng Yu said, he left and returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and had important things to do. As the commander of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the important thing he mentioned should be to go to war with Nan Chu...

Emperor Chu looked ugly. He wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, discuss it, and ask Ye Ling what he meant, but he didn't expect that the Eastern Jin Dynasty was so strong that he would not leave any room for anything!

Emperor Chu wanted to ask Ye Ying what his opinion was, but when he spoke, he took it back. If Ye Ying expressed his displeasure in public, would he not listen?

After a moment of silence, the Emperor Chu sighed slightly and nodded and said, "I have said that I have no objection to the marriage of a marriage alliance with the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Although Princess Zhan married King Zhan, he had not yet fulfilled his family, and King Zhan had returned to the west. I have always been sympathetic to Princess Zhan's hard work and wanted to find a good home for her. Since the Night King of Eastern Jin sincerely asked for a marriage, I will make it like this!"

Queen Chu said that it was for Ye Ling's good, and was looking for a good look for it.

"It's so good." Meng Qi nodded, "My emperor has chosen auspicious day, and March 18th is the wedding date. Next month, His Highness Ye will come to Nanchu in person to marry Miss Ye."

The Eastern Jin Dynasty was completely decisive and everything was planned.

Emperor Chu smiled a little unnaturally: "Okay."

"I am exhausted all the way and want to go back to the inn to rest first, so as not to disturb the elegant atmosphere of His Majesty Chu and you. Say goodbye." After Meng Yu talked about the important matter, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and got up and left.

After the people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty left, Emperor Chu's face darkened and his fists clenched tightly!

All officials were silent, looking at their eyes, nose and nose. Not to mention the Emperor of Chu, they all thought that the Eastern Jin Dynasty was too arrogant! But the Western Xia Kingdom wanted to invade Southern Chu, and Southern Chu would never dare to offend the Eastern Jin Dynasty at this time!

Chu Lingyun's expression changed again and again: "Father! Ye Ling is so capable. If she marrys Eastern Jin, she will definitely betray Nan Chu. It will be extremely harmful at that time! This marriage will never agree to this marriage!"

Emperor Chu was feeling depressed. When he heard Chu Lingyun's words, he immediately became angry and said coldly: "Stop talking! Idiot! You want to marry, but they don't like you at all! They are still making trouble here!"

The humiliation of Emperor Chu's golden words and jade words is extremely lethal.

The officials of Nan Chu looked at Chu Lingyun and couldn't help but feel ridiculed in their eyes. Yes, so what if she is a princess with golden branches and jade leaves? Compared with Ye Ling, who is so amazing, she can be called a vulgar and a waste! Nangong Heng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has always been favored by the Emperor of Jin, and even if he wants to marry, he will never look down on Chu Lingyun! Putting aside Ye Ling's widow identity, she is indeed the most outstanding woman in Nan Chu, no doubt about it!

Many people think that Nangong Heng is definitely true for his love for Ye Ling. It is natural for him to look down on Chu Lingyun! It is reasonable!

Chu Lingyun dressed up so hard that she thought she was the one who was the one who was ridiculous!

Chu Lingyun's face turned pale, her whole body was trembling, her heart was furious, her eyes turned pale, and she fainted!

Emperor Chu looked impatient: "Take her down!"

After Chu Lingyun was carried away, she saw that Emperor Chu looked very bad and was angry, so no one dared to speak nonsense.

Emperor Chu looked at Ye Ying again: "Ye Ying, what do you mean?"

Ye Ying said with a faint expression: "There will be nothing to say."

Emperor Chu had agreed to marry him and asked Ye Ying again, it was meaningless.

The banquet ended, but the princes and important officials in the court, including Song Qingyu and Ye Ying, were left to discuss matters. The Emperor Chu sent someone out of the palace to find Ye Ling.

Before Ye Ling arrived, Emperor Chu asked the people who stayed to express his opinions.

Crown Prince Chu Mingheng was the first to speak: "Father, the Eastern Jin Dynasty clearly wants to marry forcibly! He doesn't take our Nan Chu seriously! Didn't Ye Ling say that the wisest thing about the Eastern Jin and Xixia is to win over Nan Chu, form an alliance with us, and deal with another one? The Eastern Jin Dynasty wanted to win over us and join forces to deal with Xixia, but it was so arrogant! The father didn't agree just now, and the Meng surnamed dared not turn against him!"

Chu Mingyin frowned and said, "I do not agree with what the prince and the emperor said. The Eastern Jin Dynasty planned to form an alliance with Southern Chu, but their strong actions were to tell us that even if they formed an alliance, the Eastern Jin Dynasty would be the absolute dominance. I think Meng Yu's words and deeds were intended to deter. The Xixia army was already at the city, and we were not the Eastern Jin Dynasty who had no choice."

Song Zhao sighed deeply: "Your Majesty, Ye Ling's marriage was decided without her consent. I think it's a bit inappropriate. After all, she is not an ordinary woman."

Chu Mingheng snorted lightly: "What does Duke Song mean? No matter how powerful Ye Ling is, he is still a citizen of Nan Chu. Now the situation in Nan Chu is in critical condition, and she needs to marry her from afar. Does the father have no right to decide? Did Ye Ling say she didn't want to, so she just wait for the Eastern Jin Dynasty to call us?"

Song Feng frowned: "I didn't mean that."

"Father, my son, I don't have to discuss this matter anymore. I will give Ye Ling an imperial edict. She has always been loyal. When the imperial edict was given to marry, she married Zhan Wang Yunyao. This time she married a prince, and she was free from illness or disaster. What's wrong with her?" Chu Mingheng snorted and said, "Ye Ying, what do you think?"

Ye Ying remained silent and ignored Chu Mingheng.

Song Qingyu sighed slightly: "Your Majesty, it's better to think carefully about the future."

The Emperor Chu's expression was slightly calm, and then Song Qingyu continued: "The general thought that Ye Ling's marriage is better than the princess' marriage. The third princess claimed that Ye Ling was capable and would betray Nan Chu, which was extremely harmful. The general thought was nonsense. The roots of the Ye family were in Nan Chu, and Ye Ling was loyal. Even if she married far away, she would definitely be interested in Nan Chu. With her instructing her to form a bridge, there would be no problem with Nan Chu forming an alliance with the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Even if Nan Chu wanted to turn over, it might not be impossible."

Emperor Chu's heart moved!

Song Qingyu meant that letting Ye Ling marry far away is equivalent to sending Ye Ling to do the work of Southern Chu! With her ability, after marrying to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there is a lot to do!

Chu Mingyin expressed his agreement: "Father, General Song said, is exactly what the son minister wants to say. The son minister believes that the King of Ye Ling in the Eastern Jin Dynasty must have truly admired Ye Ling, so he has this marriage. In the long run, this is a good thing, and the father does not have to worry about Meng Yu's attitude."

Emperor Chu glanced at Ye Ying deeply, withdrew his gaze, and nodded in sighing and said, "Since that's the case, don't say more, just make up like this. Ye Ying, it's too late, and I won't see Ye Ling. Go back, advise me, and tell her the pros and cons. I hope that she should put the overall situation first and not be willful."

Ye Ying lowered her eyes: "Yes."

The meaning of Emperor Chu was that for the sake of Nan Chu, he believed that Ye Ling's lifelong event should be sacrificed. Regardless of whether Ye Ling was willing to marry Nangong Heng from afar, this matter could not be changed. Moreover, after Ye Ling married her, she must continue to plan for Nan Chu. After all, Ye Ying and Ye Jing were both in Nan Chu. Ye Ling should understand and accept such an arrangement.

Ye Ying and Ye Jing left the palace and rode back to the house.

The people who were sent by Emperor Chu to find Ye Ling were withdrawn halfway.

When entering Prince Jing's Mansion, Ye Jing snorted coldly: "Although we know what's going on, the emperor doesn't even plan to ask his second sister if she wants it!"

Ye Ying looked calm: "For the king, his behavior is very reasonable, so don't care."

If their sisters hope that Emperor Chu really cares about their wishes, it would be a joke! It would be stupid!

The difference between the king and the ministers is that the Chu Emperor trusts and value them, the premise is that they are capable and valuable. To put it bluntly, it is to use them to maintain the imperial power of the Chu royal family. Not to mention that the Chu Emperor did not ask Ye Ling tonight and decided on her lifelong affairs again. Even if Meng Qi said that the Eastern Jin Dynasty asked to kill Ye Ling, he would cooperate with Southern Chu, and the Chu Emperor might not refuse.

A good emperor must be cold-blooded and ruthless. The tolerance and kindness shown by Emperor Chu are just means.

Ye Ying and Ye Ling had long recognized this, so they did not hand over their destiny to the Chu royal family. What they did also showed that they were indeed unworthy.

Ye Chen was tired of playing and fell asleep in Nangong Heng's arms.

It was midnight, the lantern festival ended, and there were no pedestrians on the road. Nangong Heng held Ye Chen with one hand and Ye Ling with the other, and returned to Prince Jing's Mansion.

In the Zhuxuan study, Nangong Heng sent Ye Chen to bed, Ye Ying was waiting for Ye Ling.

"Is the banquet fun?" Ye Ling asked with a smile when entering the door.

Ye Ying shook his head: "It's not fun. The marriage matter has been decided."

Ye Ling was a little surprised: "So quickly? The emperor didn't say he thought about it? He didn't plan to ask me what he meant? He just agreed?"

"Meng Yu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was very strong and there was no room for anything." Ye Ying told Ye Ling about the banquet.

Ye Ling nodded: "I am very satisfied with this result." She didn't need to participate in the whole process, nor did she need to pretend. Now in the eyes of many people, she was forced to kiss her, and she even felt a little sympathetic to her?

When Ye Ling returned to the room, he saw Nangong Heng found a bunch of tools and materials for making lanterns from somewhere, and was cutting paper with a focused expression.

Because he promised Ye Chen that he would make him a deer lantern.

"Brother Ghost, my sister said that the emperor insisted, so the third princess could only marry him." Ye Ling sighed.

Nangong Heng didn't even raise his head and said carelessly: "I'll cut Chu Sanba tomorrow! Xiao Yezi, don't be jealous, come and help me."

Ye Ling held his forehead and knew that Nangong Heng didn't believe it at all.

Ye Ling went to help, and the two of them made lanterns together, but they didn't say anything, for fear of waking Ye Chen up.
