Chapter 1487: Requesting for a Marriage

"Princess, the bird's nest porridge is ready. Would you like to apply it to your eyes first or eat the porridge first?"

The palace maid asked respectfully.

"Drink porridge first."

"yes!"

The palace maid immediately came forward with a lacquered red tray and presented the transparent bird's nest porridge cooked in a jade cup.

Ripple drank the porridge slowly to make her stomach feel better, and then said to the palace maid beside her:

"Cui Zhu, help me ice my eyes to ensure that I can see people tomorrow."

"Yes, princess."

Cuizhu immediately went to the side hall to get crushed ice, crushed it and put it into a sewn bag, and applied it on the eyes of the princess who was lying down. The palace was eerily quiet for a while. Everyone in the palace knew that the princess was in a bad mood. No one dared to make a sound.

After changing several ice packs throughout the afternoon, Ripple felt that his eyes could open. After another night's rest, the swelling in Ripple's eyes was completely reduced, but they were still a little bloodshot and red.

Lianyi looked at the princess's beautiful and delicate appearance in the bronze mirror, and felt in her heart that she was born in a royal family. If she were born in an ordinary family, her appearance would definitely be coveted.

Even if Shi Jiu didn't tell her about the tragic experience of the original half of her life, she could still imagine that for such a beautiful woman who disguised herself as a man, it would be a matter of time before she was exposed in the enemy's country. If the enemy found out about her daughter's identity, what would happen to her?

When she returns to Daqian Kingdom in the future, she will no longer be the proud and noble eldest princess. She will only be spurned by her brothers and sisters. If she encounters an unkind person again, the outcome cannot be described as miserable.

If Shijiu were here, he would definitely give Lianyi a thumbs up, because Lianyi's guess was basically correct, but her original body turned completely dark after encountering these, and she ruthlessly retaliated against those who mocked her, and even wanted to kill her own The younger brother ascended to the throne, but eventually died of a man's betrayal.

After Lianyi had eaten the court food, she asked the palace maid to change her clothes, put on the eldest princess's court clothes, and went to the Qinzheng Hall to see the emperor with all the formalities.

The emperor had already heard some things from the queen and knew the reason why his daughter came to see him. However, he was a little surprised that his daughter was so formal. He said to the eunuch beside him:

"Fu Lai, Princess Xuan Anping."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fulai, the mellow head eunuch, bowed and went outside the hall and said loudly:

"Princess Xuan'an Ping has an audience!"

Lianyi straightened her court clothes and then walked into the Qinzheng Hall with a dignified manner.

"My daughter Anping, I bow to my father. Long live my father! Long live my father!"

As soon as Lianyi knelt down, he was helped up by the emperor:

"Anping, why are you so outspoken and dressed so formally today?"

Lianyi followed the opponent's strength and stood up, with a serious and tense expression. After hearing the question, he bowed politely and then said:

"Father, Anping is asking to see you today because he wants to take care of your father's worries."

Emperor Qian sighed, and then said to Fulai:

"Let them all go down! You guard the door and don't let anyone in."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fulai immediately agreed, then waved his hand, and all the maids and eunuchs in the palace withdrew. The guards were the last to go out, and guarded the door of Qinzheng Palace with Fulai, waiting for the call at any time.

Emperor Qian asked his daughter to sit down and then said:

"Anping, what do you want to do?"

"Father, although my younger brother is not your only son, he is the eldest son of the emperor. He is also the eldest son. If he is allowed to go to Luo Pan to be a hostage, I am afraid that he will never come back. It will be an insult to me. Please be with me. It will be very disadvantageous for you if you don't have an adult prince.

It’s just that my mother proposed to let me disguise myself as a man and go to Luo Panguo for my brother. I think this method is stupid. It is simply handing the handle to the other party. Now they are fighting for the throne, so they may not make it happen, but once they wait for their new king to succeed to the throne, , they will use this excuse to start a war with us and carry out aggression again. "

Ripple slowly expressed his thoughts.

Emperor Qian nodded. He also felt that his method of making a wife would not work. It was just that the other party was too eager to keep the eldest prince and was already in trouble, so he did not object.

Now that he listened to his daughter's words, they were consistent with his thoughts. It was also the first time that he discovered that his daughter had grown up and saw things so thoroughly. She was no longer the child who would sit on his lap and draw circles on memorials.

"Anping, do you have any better ideas?"

"Father, my daughter is willing to go to Luo Pan Country to get married, and to go to Luo Pan Country on behalf of my father."

Lianyi stood up, bowed, and revealed his own way to break the situation.

"Marriage?"

Emperor Qian was not surprised after hearing this, because he had discussed it with his ministers who relied on him, and they also proposed the method of marriage, but he was still a little hesitant. Now that his daughter had proposed it, he took advantage of the situation and said:

"Anping, tell me your plan?"

"Yes, Father."

Lianyi sat down again and then said:

"Luo Panguo is now engaged in internal fighting. The three princes are all fighting for the right to inherit the throne. In fact, it doesn't matter to them whether we send a princess or a prince. This is just a kind of evil they have released that will not invade Daqian for the time being. Signals are meant to make us relax our vigilance.

At this time, we can also show the demeanor and sincerity of a big country. The daughter's marriage is just a temporary measure. As for which prince I marry, it depends on who is expected to ascend the throne.

If I want them to fight more fiercely, I need my father to prepare a dowry for my daughter that is coveted by them, so that I have the right to choose and the bargaining chip. "

Emperor Qian understood what his daughter meant and said:

"I will prepare gold and silver for you"

"No, father, these are not enough to arouse their greed."

Lian Yi shook her head.

"What do you want?"

"Cities! My daughter's dowry must be cities, at least three, and they must be cities close to Luopan."

Lian Yi said clearly.

"You are bold!"

Emperor Qian was a little annoyed, this exceeded his expectations.

"Father, do you want to use three cities to exchange for long-term peace and the entire territory of Luopan, or do you want to be coveted by hungry wolves?"

Lian Yi calmly threw out a multiple-choice question.

"How can you guarantee that the three cities will not be gone forever?"

Emperor Qian asked in a low voice.

"My daughter cannot guarantee it, but I will take a gamble. At least three cities will be exchanged for the escalation of the civil unrest in Luopan Country, and Daqian will have a chance to resist. This is worth it.

Father, there is a saying among the people that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Now Daqian is going to do such a thing.

After my daughter enters Luopan Country, I will arrange personnel as soon as possible to collect intelligence and find out the situation of Luopan Country as quickly as possible. At that time, we will cooperate inside and outside and will definitely be able to take down Luopan Country.

This time, my daughter is desperate and will not give up until she achieves her goal. Before leaving, my daughter will drink sterilization medicine and will never give birth to the offspring of the enemy country."

"You"

Lianyi knelt down directly and said solemnly:

"Father, Daqian has given my daughter sixteen years of honor and favor. Now Daqian is in trouble. As your daughter, I can't stand idly by. I just hope that my daughter's sacrifice is worth it. When the mission is completed, I hope you can welcome my daughter back!"

See you tomorrow~
