Chapter 203 Everyone has their own destiny
However, the ministers were shocked for only a short time.
They quickly guessed that the Ninth Prince was going to marry Princess Nanyang tomorrow, and he knew that the assumption did not exist, so he said that, right?
After all, the Southern Kingdom was much stronger than the Mu Kingdom, and it was not good to openly slap their Queen in the face.
His purpose was just to avoid dissatisfaction with the Southern Kingdom's envoys.
Yes, it must be like this.
The ministers convinced themselves in this way.
How could the iron-willed Ninth Prince be easily threatened by the Southern Kingdom?
He must be considering the overall situation of his family and country.
"My emperor ordered me to tell you that she promised to marry the ninth prince of Mu, the god of war, forever." Rong Xiao said calmly, "Even if the ninth prince gets married or dies in the future, this marriage will never be counted."
"General Rong!" Emperor Zhaocheng frowned, his expression was almost unexpected, "Princess Nanyang is still young and is about to get married, what General Rong said is really inappropriate."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Rong Xiao bowed slightly, "The reason why I said that is because Princess Nanyang is short-lived."
"General Rong." King Jing frowned, "You are a general leading troops, not a quack, how can you make such an assertion about Princess Nanyang's life span?"
The atmosphere in the palace was a little tense.
Emperor Zhaocheng's expression was not very good, but Prime Minister Gu eased his expression because of this, and looked at Mu Cang and Yan Li calmly.
Princess Nanyang is short-lived?
Is this a curse, or is it really true?
"You may think that what I said is not appropriate, but it is true." Rong Xiao turned around and saluted Yan Li, "Princess Nanyang, please don't blame me."
Yan Li smiled faintly: "Since General Rong said that this princess will die young, then this princess is curious and asks, I wonder how old I can live to?"
"Yan Li." Emperor Zhaocheng frowned, "Don't let your imagination run wild, and don't believe these things-"
"Not necessarily." Rong Xiao ignored the thoughts of the monarch and ministers of Mu State, and looked at Yan Li directly, "Maybe he can live another three to five years, or maybe only three to five months."
The implication is very clear, your majesty can borrow this body for three to five years at most, or three to five months at most, and there is no clear time to return to the South Country for the time being-what he said today is naturally the intention of the South Country High Priest.
Yan Li looked calm, not at all uneasy about his short life, and even had a calm smile on his face: "Thank you, General Rong." m.
"Yan Li." Emperor Zhaocheng's expression changed, but he couldn't help but speak, "I don't believe this, and you don't have to believe it either."
"What did the Ninth Prince say?" Rong Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Mu Cang.
Mu Cang's expression was always cold and indifferent, and he looked three times colder than Rong Xiao.
"I don't have any ideas." He said, his tone calm, "Everyone has their own destiny. If Yan Li's fate is really like this, I will accept it."
Emperor Zhaocheng's expression was pale, and the other civil and military ministers had strange expressions.
What on earth did General Rong of the Southern Kingdom come to the Mu Kingdom for?
One moment he said that Princess Nanyang had a noble fate, and whoever married her would be either rich or noble, and the next moment he said that Princess Nanyang had a short life and could only live for another three to five years at most?
Which one is true and which one is false?
The Ninth Prince's reaction is also strange.
He clearly wanted to marry Princess Nanyang before, and he seemed to love her so much. But today, when he heard the general of another country say that she would die young, he reacted so calmly?
"General Rong." King Jing put down his wine cup and said seriously, "Just now you clearly said that Princess Nanyang has a noble fate. If she is a noble person, how can she die young?"
Rong Xiao never sat down, and even kept leaning forward: "The mystery here cannot be seen by ordinary people."
"Your Majesty." Xiao Changhai leaned over and whispered in Emperor Zhaocheng's ear, "Should we set up seats for the Ninth Prince and Princess Nanyang?"
Emperor Zhaocheng came back to his senses: "Come here! Set up seats for the Ninth Prince and Princess Nanyang."
"Yes."
The palace servant added Mu Cang's seat in front of the prime minister, and the prime minister and King Jing moved down accordingly - civil officials and military generals each had their own ranks.
The reason for this arrangement is that the first seat opposite is Rong Xiao, a military general of the Southern Kingdom.
Military generals have more topics to talk about, and everyone can see that Rong Xiao has no good face for Prime Minister Gu.
After being blocked several times in a row, Prime Minister Gu has lost interest in talking to Rong Xiao, and he wants to give this position to Mu Cang.
But today's palace banquet is obviously a bit overwhelming.
After Mu Cang and Yan Li sat down, Rong Xiao followed and sat down.
"The young general came here this time with sincerity to form an alliance with the Mu Kingdom." Rong Xiao looked at Mu Cang opposite him, "If the Ninth Prince can marry into my Southern Kingdom, my emperor will be even more powerful."
Emperor Zhaocheng raised the wine glass and wanted to salute the envoy of the Southern Kingdom. Hearing this, his expression froze for a moment, and the smile condensed at the corner of his mouth.
Mu Cang is the god of war of the Mu Kingdom.
The border of Mu State depends on him to guard it. In recent years, the Northern Frontier has been defeated by Mu Cang many times, which has slightly suppressed their arrogance.
If Mu Cang really marries the Queen of the Southern Kingdom, Mu State will lose its general. He dare not imagine who can resist their cavalry after the Northern Frontier comes back.
Although the Ninth Prince can join the army, he lacks combat experience after all, and it is not known for the time being that he is not capable of becoming the second Mu Cang.
Therefore, he would never want Mu Cang to have any relationship with the Queen of the Southern Kingdom, let alone be a son-in-law.
"Why is Aunt Nine not talking?" King Jing turned his head and looked at Yan Li, "The Queen of the Southern Kingdom sent an envoy to ask for marriage, and the one asking is Uncle Nine. Does Aunt Nine have no crisis at all?"
Yan Li glanced at him: "Whether it is marriage or life span, it is determined by fate. Whether I oppose or praise it, it cannot change the final result."
King Jing choked and then retorted: "If everyone relies on God to arrange their destiny, then what's the point of working hard? I don't like what Aunt Nine Emperors said."
Is it determined by nature?
Although you have to believe in fate, you can't believe everything.
Especially the Nine Emperors Uncle, a military commander on the battlefield, he should believe in himself more than he believes in fate.
"The arrival of distinguished guests today should be the glory of the Kingdom of Mu." The Minister of Rites stood up with a wine glass and raised his glass to the envoys of the Southern Kingdom one by one, "As an official of the Kingdom of Mu, I only wish that the Southern Kingdom of Mu will be friends forever. Well, let’s create a prosperous world together. Here’s a toast to all the envoys.”
He took the lead, and all the civil and military officials stood up with winks, holding wine glasses one by one, and toasted to the envoys of the Southern Kingdom without invitation: "Everyone who has come from afar must taste the fine wine of the Kingdom of Mu."
"Her Majesty, the Empress of the Southern Kingdom, is a heroine. Women all over the world look up to her existence, making men like us feel ashamed."
"If I get a chance in this life, I will definitely go to the Southern Kingdom to admire the empress's grace."
"Come on, come on, drink, drink!"
"Sing and dance, get up!"
The officials exchanged words with each other, and finally the topic changed from marriage. The singing and dancing continued, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was intoxicated, and no one mentioned the marriage again.
