Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 326

[Chapter 326 Father can only help you up to this point]

Want to marry Princess Minghe?

When the Daluo envoy said this, everyone was stunned.

Not only Emperor Xia and Daxia officials were speechless, but even the Dayu envoy was muttering in his heart that the people of Daluo might not wake up yet to marry the princess of Daxia.

Don’t they have any idea in their hearts?

This is Daxia, not Fuso.

Princess Minghe is the most talented genius in the royal family of Daxia, one of the future super powers of Daxia, and can participate in two big competitions. Even if the two countries are allies, Daxia will not marry Princess Minghe.

The Daluo envoy seemed to have expected it, and then he opened his mouth and explained the matter in detail.

As we all know, the dual cultivation of ice and fire can improve the speed of cultivation, and the closer the cultivation of two people is, the greater the improvement in cultivation.

The ability of the Daluo prince is ice, and the ability of Princess Minghe is fire. Whether in terms of status or talent, the two are most suitable as dual cultivation partners.

Moreover, Daluo stated at the beginning that even if Princess Minghe married Daluo, she could participate in the competition as a princess of Daxia in the future, which was different from Fusang Tianjiao marrying Daxia. In addition, if Daxia encountered danger, Daluo would also help it, including but not limited to sending Tianjie strongmen.

This is enough to show that Daluo’s marriage proposal this time was not for the purpose of competing for Daxia’s genius.

This is a deeper alliance.

The purpose of the alliance is naturally self-evident. Today’s Dayou is too powerful. Only by forming an alliance can the two countries compete with it.

Of course, this alliance is more beneficial to Daluo. If a woman marries, she will obey her husband. If Princess Minghe marries, even if she is still inclined to Daxia at the beginning, she will sooner or later become Daluo’s person.

Although Daluo and Daxia are allies, between countries, interests come first. Everyone wants to be stronger. When necessary, they can also weaken their allies and strengthen themselves.

Emperor Xia has never spoken. If Dayou or other countries make this request, he can refuse without hesitation.

But Daluo and Daxia have been allies in recent years and have cooperated in many aspects. He cannot completely ignore them.

Moreover, Daluo was very sincere this time. It not only allowed Minghe to participate in the competition as a princess of Daxia, but also concluded a deeper covenant with Daxia. He could not directly refuse…

Emperor Xia was silent for a long time, but the others in the palace were a little anxious.

The people of Dayou naturally did not want to see Daluo and Daxia marry and have a closer relationship. Isn’t it obvious that they are joining forces to fight against Dayou?

Officials from the powerful families of Daxia did not want to see this scene either. This was not a marriage between Daluo and Daxia, but a marriage between the royal families of the two countries. Even Dayou was afraid of such a behemoth as the Daluo Dynasty, let alone them. If the royal family and the strong men of Daluo joined forces, they could easily clean up their families.

They knew that His Majesty had wanted to do this for a long time.

For them, it would be better for Princess Minghe to marry Lin Xiu than to marry Daluo.

At least in the next ten or twenty years, the Lin family would not be able to become a big climate.

Once His Majesty forms an alliance with the Daluo royal family, the days of the powerful will definitely not be easy.

At this time, the Daluo envoy continued: “The Princess Minghe of your country has awakened the fire art, so naturally she needs to find a genius of ice art to practice with. As far as we know, your country has not awakened the ice art, and there is a genius with similar strength and talent to your Highness. In today’s continent, only the eldest prince is a good match for your Highness, which is also very beneficial to her practice…” After

hearing this, the ministers of Daxia were dissatisfied.

What do you mean that Daxia has not awakened the ice art, and there is a genius with similar strength to your Highness, and only the eldest prince of Daluo is a good match for your Highness—do they think Lin Xiu does not exist?

The eldest prince has good talent and was once a strong man in the top ten of the Tianjiao list.

But is he worthy of being compared with Lin Xiu?

No. 1 on the Tianjiao list, 20 years old, the first dual-ability genius in Daxia, any one of them, the eldest prince of Daluo can’t compare.

Before Emperor Xia spoke, the head of the Zhang family said, “You are wrong, Daluo envoy. Daxia has a genius who, at the age of 20, has already advanced to the upper realm of the earth level and won the first place in the genius list. He also possesses the ice skill. Could it be that the eldest prince is more talented and stronger than him? In terms of talent and strength, I am afraid he is the right match for Her Royal Highness the Princess?”

Although the head of the Zhang family did not say the name of the genius, he was just short of saying the name.

Who doesn’t know that person’s name?

And he is at the scene.

Many people looked at a figure in the hall.

Lin Xiu lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, wondering what he was thinking.

At this time, the Dayu envoy also laughed and said, “Why doesn’t Daxia have a genius who has awakened the art of ice? In terms of appearance, talent, and strength, Lin Xiu, the top of the genius list, is better than your country’s prince in any way?”

The Daluo envoy frowned and said, “What does this have to do with you, Dayu?”

The Dayu envoy shrugged and said, “Although it has nothing to do with us, can’t we tell the truth? Your prince is just not as good as the number one on the genius list…”

“Can your prince be as good as him?”

“Our prince doesn’t want to marry someone else’s princess…”

…

Emperor Xia naturally did not want Ming He to marry Daluo. She was the hope of the royal family. Although it sounded tempting to get help from the royal family of Daluo, which would allow him to start to deal with the powerful and influential people, he was unwilling to use other people’s hands to deal with the internal affairs of Daxia. If he was not careful, he would end up letting the wolf into the house.

As an emperor of a country, he could not completely trust foreign forces.

However, Daluo was now an ally and came with sincerity. As an emperor, he could not speak directly. He had to have a convincing excuse at least. He sighed and made a look of regret, saying, “It’s a pity. I have long planned to betroth Ming He to Lin Xiu. The envoy of Daluo came late.”

Lin Xiu looked up at Emperor Xia with a look of astonishment.

The envoy of Daluo was also stunned and asked, “But doesn’t he already have many wives? Your Majesty still wants to marry the princess to him?”

Emperor Xia said, “It is normal for a man to have many wives and concubines. With his talent and strength, he has a bright future and is worthy of my daughter.”

The princess of Daxia has always been able to become someone else’s wife.

A prince consort can only have one wife, a princess, in his lifetime.

But there are exceptions to everything.

If Daluo had not proposed marriage, the royal family might have opposed Emperor Xia’s decision, and the dignitaries would have certainly opposed it, but at this moment, in the imperial study, the voices of everyone in Daxia were very unified.

“Your Majesty is wise!”

He was number one on the Tianjiao list, the second number one on the Tianjiao list in the history of Daxia, and there were countless princesses in the royal family. With this identity alone, it was more than enough for him to marry a princess.

Although Her Royal Highness the Princess could not be the principal wife, which undermined the dignity of the royal family, no one would think so when they thought about who his principal wife was.

The Daluo envoy felt regretful, but when he thought of Princess Minghe’s prince consort, he had to admit it.

At this time, Emperor Xia said, “If I remember correctly, Princess Natasha of your country is still unmarried. Daluo doesn’t seem to have awakened the genius of the fire art. It’s better to marry her to Daluo, help her practice, and deepen the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Three years later, Princess Natasha can also participate in the competition as a Daluo princess…”

The Daluo envoy hurriedly said, “I can’t make the decision on this matter…” Daluo

‘s marriage proposal failed, and the allocation of resources could not be discussed in a day or two. After a general discussion, Dayu and Daluo’s envoys left the imperial study, and the dignitaries of Daluo also left.

Only Lin Xiu, Zhu Jin and Emperor Xia were left in the imperial study.

Lin Xiu looked at Emperor Xia and said blankly, “Your Majesty, this…”

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, “You heard it just now. Daluo is very sincere this time. If I reject it directly, I am afraid that I will have a rift with the allies. The situation on the mainland is tense now. I can only temporarily wrong you and Minghe…”

Lin Xiu was stunned and said, “What should we do in the future?”

Emperor Xia said, “Minghe is still young and is devoted to cultivation. If she finds someone she likes in the future, it will not be too late for you to divorce. Do you want me to marry her to the eldest prince of Daluo?”

He waved his hand and said, “Let’s not talk about this. What about the meteorite mentioned by Dayu?”

Lin Xiu briefly explained: “They seem to be looking for something from the meteorites, but I have already checked with the Astronomical Observatory. Those meteorites are just ordinary stones, of no use. If we exchange them for a mineral vein, we will make a fortune…”

Emperor Xia asked doubtfully, “How did you know that Dayu needed meteorites?”

Lin Xiu said, “When I was in Daluo, I happened to overhear their conversation.”

Emperor Xia nodded and said, “Fortunately you reminded me…”

In his opinion, meteorites were nothing more than useless stones, which were almost given to Dayu for free. Although Daxia had rich mineral resources, it was not as good as Daluo and Dayu. It was a good deal to exchange a few broken stones for a top-quality mineral vein.

At this time, Lin Xiu asked Emperor Xia, “Your Majesty, what about me and Princess Minghe…”

Emperor Xia said, “Let’s just leave it like this. I’ll let the Ministry of Rites prepare for it. I’ll also talk to Minghe. You can go back first.”

Lin Xiu said helplessly, “I’ll take my leave.”

After Lin Xiu left, Emperor Xia showed a melancholy look on his face. He walked to the front of the hall, put his hands behind his back, took a long breath, and said, “Father can only help you here…”

Zhu Jin came over and asked in a low voice, “Your Majesty, the princess…”

Emperor Xia said, “Oh, can’t you see that Minghe’s heart has long been with someone else. Last time I asked her to marry Lin Xiu, she refused. Now she must be regretting it. She was always unhappy when I saw her several times. She didn’t even notice when I walked past her. “

In terms of understanding women’s thoughts, Zhu Jin knew that he couldn’t compare to His Majesty, so he could only flatter her: “Your Majesty has a good eye. I admire you.”

Emperor Xia showed a meaningful smile on his face and said: “I was just worried about not finding an opportunity, and the Daluo envoy helped me a lot. How can a minister compare to a son-in-law? I prefer to rely on my own people rather than relying on outsiders…”
