Chapter Summary
If Your Majesty does not agree to marry Princess Binghan to Xiao Chen, I'm afraid it will not end well either!" I have to say that this official was really brave. A decent-looking palace maid anxiously said to Luo Binghan, who was lying on the bed, "Princess, aren't you anxious? How do you know he is better than the talented people in other kingdoms?" After all, the palace maid was just a palace maid, and she didn't know about Xiao Chen's destruction of the Tianpeng Kingdom and the Xianglong Kin...
Luo Binghan, the little princess of the Northern Qi Kingdom.
She is recognized as the most beautiful woman in Northern Qi and the apple of Luoshan's eye. She is now at the age of waiting to be married and has just celebrated her sixteenth birthday.
With her stunning beauty and enviable status, Luo Binghan naturally became the object of pursuit by the sons of major families in Northern Qi, and Luo Shan had been looking for a suitable son-in-law for Luo Binghan.
In fact, if compared with those so-called young talents in Northern Qi, Xiao Chen is definitely a phoenix from the sky.
However, Luo Shan was absolutely unwilling to marry Luo Binghan to Xiao Chen.
A marriage of peace is different from recruiting a prince consort. The status of a prince consort is much lower than that of a princess in the royal family. Therefore, the prince consort will never dare to let the princess suffer any grievances.
But marriage as a foreign alliance is different. No matter in which world, marriage as a foreign alliance is a symbol of humiliation.
If Luo Binghan marries Xiao Chen, who knows how much grievance she will have to endure in the future. How can Luo Shan, who has loved Luo Binghan since childhood, accept this?
Therefore, after the official proposed the marriage, Luo Shan immediately rebuked him, saying, "I don't want to hear such things from you again. Northern Qi is about to surrender to the Great Zhou. There is no need to do such humiliating things."
Facing Luo Shan's reprimand, the official remained calm and said, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, few kings who lost their country have had a good ending. If Your Majesty does not agree to marry Princess Binghan to Xiao Chen, I'm afraid it will not end well either!"
I have to say that this official was really brave. He dared to say such treasonous words in front of the emperor, but he would lose his head.
"Chen Gong, you are so presumptuous! How dare you speak nonsense in front of His Majesty? What is your punishment?"
As expected, some officials couldn't help but jump out and scold the minister named Chen Gong for what he said.
However, he still stood in the center of the palace with a dignified look, gazing at Luo Shan sitting on the dragon throne.
The old Luo Shan looked at Chen Gong standing with his head held high in the center of the palace, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
Since ancient times, the kings of fallen countries have suffered a miserable end. They would be killed by the emperor of the enemy country under various excuses and methods to prevent the other party from making a restoration. Luo Shan knew this very well.
If it was just his life or death, he wouldn't care. He was already an old man approaching his twilight years, so if he died, he died.
But he has many wives and children, and nearly a thousand relatives in the royal family. How can he protect their lives?
As an emperor, Luo Shan may not be very capable in other aspects, but he cares very much about family affection.
He really couldn't completely ignore the lives of thousands of royal family members.
Luo Shan slumped in his seat, a trace of dejection on his face as he said, "I need to consult Han'er on this matter. Ministers from all departments should prepare to surrender to the Great Zhou. Prime Minister Liu should take the letter of surrender to the Great Zhou military camp and ask General Gao of the Great Zhou to stop attacking cities. Alright, let's dismiss the court!"
Seeing that Luo Shan's attitude had softened, Chen Gong was delighted. It seemed that there would be no problem with this matter.
He knew Princess Binghan's character very well, and Luo Shan went to seek her advice, and the matter was settled.
…
The harem of the Northern Qi Kingdom, the palace of Princess Binghan.
A decent-looking palace maid anxiously said to Luo Binghan, who was lying on the bed, "Princess, aren't you anxious? The court officials want to marry you to the Emperor of the Great Zhou!"
Luo Binghan, lying on the bed, was wearing a purple tasseled long skirt with white plum blossoms embroidered on the hem. A white brocade belt bound her slender waist, which was so thin that it could be grasped with one hand. Her face was full of a clever look.
At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were like waves, and there was pity and shyness in her eyes.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Luo Binghan not saying anything and just lying on the bed with a silly smile on her face, the palace maid couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Could it be that the princess has been upset by something?
Hearing the maid's voice, Luo Binghan finally reacted, and then asked blankly: "What did you say?"
The maid said helplessly: "My princess, you are going to be married to the Great Zhou, aren't you worried at all?"
Luo Binghan gave the maid a strange look, then asked, "Why should I worry?"
The maid looked at Luo Binghan as if she were looking at a ghost. After a long while, she finally said, "Princess, you used to get angry whenever His Majesty mentioned marriage. Why is it that this time..."
"hey-hey!"
Luo Binghan showed a quirky smile, and then said: "That's because my father has poor vision. The husbands he picked for me before were too bad. My husband, Luo Binghan, must be a great hero who stands tall and proud."
The maid pouted and asked, "So the emperor of the Great Zhou is the hero? You haven't even met him."
Luo Binghan blinked and said, "Although I have never met him, I know everything about him. There is no young man in the Northern Territory who can compare to him!"
The maid curled her lips and said in disbelief, "Princess, your evaluation is too exaggerated!"
"The Northern Territory has a population of billions, and there are tens of millions of talented young people. Our four northern kingdoms are the weakest among the thirteen kingdoms in the Northern Territory. How do you know he is better than the talented people in other kingdoms?"
After all, the palace maid was just a palace maid, and she didn't know about Xiao Chen's destruction of the Tianpeng Kingdom and the Xianglong Kingdom.
However, as a princess of Northern Qi, Luo Binghan knew all these things well.
This is a living legend!
As a deposed prince of the kingdom, he returned to the imperial capital in just a few months and took back the throne that belonged to him.
Afterwards, he swept through the three great families in the country that no one dared to touch. There were even rumors that Xiao Chen had the upper hand when facing the top families of the dynasty.
If all these happened within the Great Zhou, it was not enough to spread Xiao Chen's reputation throughout the four countries. Then his destruction of the two kingdoms was the real battle that made him famous.
Xiao Chen's strength truly shocked Luo Binghan as he defeated two kingdoms with his weak national strength and completely destroyed the two countries in less than a month.
Luo Binghan's man should be such a hero. What's more rare is that Xiao Chen is about the same age as her. He is simply perfect.
Therefore, when she heard that a minister in the court suggested marrying her to Xiao Chen, she did not feel the slightest bit of panic or fear, but rather more of surprise.
Looking at Luo Binghan's infatuated look, the palace maid knew that her princess had fallen.
However, she still said worriedly: "Princess, the general's son Fei Hong has always threatened to marry you. If you marry the Emperor of the Great Zhou, I'm afraid..."
The first family of Northern Qi was the royal Luo family, and the second family was the Fei family, to which General Fei An belonged.
There were three Marquises of Wu in Northern Qi, two of whom were from the royal family, and the remaining one was the ancestor of the Fei family.
In addition, the Fei family controlled nearly half of the Northern Qi's military forces, and even the royal family was wary of the Fei family. As a result, Fei Hong, the eldest son of the Fei family, became the number one playboy in Northern Qi.
This guy had seen Luo Binghan a long time ago. He was shocked by her beauty at that time and declared that he would not marry anyone else but Luo Binghan.
But, what woman could be interested in a playboy who is a playboy?
Therefore, Luo Binghan had no feelings towards Fei Hong at all, and even felt very disgusted with him.
