Chapter 1429: Choosing Another Person
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said," There won't be a chance!"
Xiao Jingyu was stunned by Lin Yuelan's straightforward rejection.
However, she did not say anything else.
Instantly, the entire venue fell silent again.
At this moment, Xiao Jingrui spoke.
He said," Your Majesty, the imperial sister of the imperial palace, has completely given up on General Jiang, and three days ago, she has a special liking for Your Majesty's eldest grandson, Yuwen Xuhong. Therefore, I, the prince, have decided to let my sister marry Yuwen Xuhong, the eldest grandson of the emperor, in order to form a good relationship between the two countries. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter.
Xiao Jingrui's face suddenly turned black, and he looked at Lin Yuelan and the others who were laughing.
Lin Yuelan seemed to know that she had lost her composure. She waved her hand and said," Oh, Second Prince, please continue. Please continue! This princess only thought of something funny just now. That's why I couldn't help but laugh!"
However, everyone knew that what she said was funny. A few days ago, Princess Linglong had fallen in love with General Jiang at first sight, but in the blink of an eye, she had fallen in love with another man.
This was really… What a joke. It was as if she couldn't wait to get married.
Although everyone knew why Lin Yuelan was laughing, no one was so stupid as to point it out.
Xiao Jingrui just lightly asked,"Oh, really? It seems that the princess of Guguo is really free to be thinking about these frivolous things!"
Lin Yuelan nodded and said," This princess is indeed very free! However," she changed the topic and said," Of course, I'm freer than you, Second Prince! Unlike you, a good Imperial Brother who worries about your Imperial Sister's marriage all day long! Second Prince, open your eyes wide and choose a suitable husband for your sister!"
Xiao Jingrui said coldly," Don't worry, Princess!"
Then, he asked Yuwen Longyan," Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Yuwen Longyan said with some difficulty," Second Prince, Hong 'er already has a wife…"
This time, Xiao Jingrui said firmly," Since he already has a wife, then just demote her! Isn't this also for the sake of the friendship between the two countries?"
Xiao Jingyu could marry Jiang Zhennan as an equal wife to Lin Yuelan. However, even so, it was also because Jiang Zhennan had such value.
However, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, Yuwen Xuhong, did not have this value. Therefore, Xiao Jingyu must be the main wife!
"No!" Yuwen Longyan didn't say anything. Yuwen Xuhong stood up angrily and refused," I will never depose the princess consort!"
When Yuwen Xuhong's Consort, Ye Jing, heard that the Second Prince of the Black Cloud Kingdom, Xiao Jingrui, had told the Emperor that Princess Linglong had a special liking for her husband, her expression suddenly changed. She felt very uneasy!
As expected…
Yuwen Longyan was furious. "Sit down!" He shouted at Yuwen Xuhong.
Immediately, he said to Xiao Jingrui," Second Prince, you have seen it. My eldest grandson has a sincere relationship with his first wife. It is not good to abolish her position directly like this, right?"
Xiao Jingrui was still unyielding." This is your business." I only want my sister to marry him!" It meant that she would be demoted no matter what!
Xiao Jingyu was the princess of the Black Clouds Kingdom, the strongest country. It was already a grievance for her to come to another country for a marriage alliance. How could she be allowed to marry another person as a concubine?
"No…" Yuwen Xuhong wanted to reject again but was stopped by his wife, Ye Jing.
She stood up and said," Imperial Grandfather, I am willing to step down and give up my seat to the princess!"
She was a very sensible and good wife and mother.
She knew that since the Black Clouds Kingdom had taken a fancy to her husband, even if she did not take the initiative to withdraw, she would still be deposed by His Majesty. This was the trend of the situation. She had no choice but to lower her head!
If she took the initiative to step down, she could still give everyone the image of a reasonable and magnanimous woman. This would also win everyone's sympathy and pity and make the Emperor and her husband feel guilty. In the future, whether it was her or her family, the Emperor and his eldest grandson would definitely do their best to compensate her.
It would be best if Ye Jing could take the initiative to step down.
However, Yuwen Longyan was still a little hesitant." Granddaughter-in-law, this…"
"Imperial Grandfather, I have already decided. Imperial Grandfather, please issue the decree!" Ye Jing knelt down and said firmly.
Yuwen Longyan said," In that case, Imperial Grandfather will give the order!"
Yuwen Longyan first issued an edict to let the eldest granddaughter-in-law abolish her position and then issued an edict to let Xiao Jingyu become the new grand prince consort.
This was a major matter of the two countries forming an alliance. Although the eldest grandson was furious, he could only accept it.
In this matter, only the Black Clouds Kingdom had the initiative.
Because not everyone was the princess of the Guguo and had the guts to reject the Black Clouds Kingdom and be safe.
However, reality proved that she had the confidence to do so. Behind her was his fiancé, General Jiang Zhennan, the richest man in the country, Liu Yichen, Miracle Doctor Wu Yazi, and even His Majesty.
Now, the only person backing the eldest grandson of the emperor was His Majesty. Moreover, His Majesty had to consider the country!
Therefore, Longyan Kingdom had no choice but to accept the fact that the eldest grandson of the Emperor had deposed his original consort and made Princess Linglong his new consort.
