Chapter 307: Convincing His Majesty to Change Personnel
Ji Yao frowned, and her calm voice showed no emotion: "Don't you know, Lord Feng, that I intend to have Xue'er and Zang Rong marry?"
In that case, how dare you disobey her orders?
Murong Hua's face turned pale, and she concealed a smile: "Your Majesty, I...I am also thinking about your Majesty."
Seeing that Ji Yao was not angry, he continued, "Think about it, the fact that General Xiahou saved Xue'er must have been known to everyone, and Yu Xue'er's reputation has been damaged. It is only a matter of time before this matter reaches the ears of the Tibetan Rong envoys."
"If the Zang Rong knew that we wanted to marry Xue'er to them, they might be angry and say that we don't value them and casually marry a prince with a damaged innocence to them. Wouldn't that give them an excuse to send troops?"
Murong Hua knew that the Tibetan Rong had always been a major threat to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. They had harassed the border many times over the years and did not take the alliance seriously at all.
It seems that he has been eyeing the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for a long time. It is precisely because of this that Murong Hua dared to make an article about this matter.
After hearing what Feng Jun said, Ji Yao's eyes became gloomy and her expression was cloudy, as if she was lost in thought.
What Feng Jun said is not without reason.
The Zang Rong came here for marriage alliance. If the candidate for marriage is a prince with a damaged reputation, it might cause dissatisfaction among them, and they might even take this opportunity to send troops.
only……
If she were to replace him, where would she find a prince of the right age to take his place?
I still feel it's not right.
"No, I have already decided to let Xue'er marry. If I change the person now, where can I find another prince of the right age? Besides..."
Ji Yao paused for a moment, as if remembering something, and frowned: "I remember that Xiahou Zhen is Xiaoliu's fiancée, right?"
"This elder brother stole his younger brother's fiancée. What kind of rumors would this spread?"
Murong Hua's heart skipped a beat. It was so hard to get His Majesty to make up his mind, how could he give up halfway?
His mind turned slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, but his face maintained a dignified and benevolent smile.
"Your Majesty, I have an idea."
"Why not change the candidate for marriage to the Sixth Prince and announce to the public that it is Xue'er who is engaged to General Xiahou. This way, Xue'er's reputation will be preserved and the envoys will not be able to accuse her of anything."
Hearing this, Ji Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and she glared at Feng Jun with her deep eyes, snorting coldly. "You are so calculating."
"Your Majesty~"
Murong Hua's face turned pale, and he knelt in front of Ji Yao with his legs bent, looking panicked.
"I...I am doing this for your majesty's consideration. Which is more important, losing Xue'er's innocence or marrying the Sixth Prince in exchange? I'm sure your majesty has made a choice in his mind."
Murong Hua wiped her tears silently with a handkerchief, and said aggrievedly: "I am indeed reluctant to let Xue'er marry. If it is for the sake of Dong Zhou, I have to bear the pain and let her go."
"But Xue'er's reputation is damaged now. If I force it, it will inevitably lead to gossip. If it angers Zang Rong, won't it be my fault?"
"Your Majesty, Xue'er, you have watched her grow up. Are you really willing to let her travel thousands of miles to marry?"
Murong Hua wiped her tears and was about to cry.
Ji Yao's eyes flickered slightly. She was indeed reluctant to let go, but what was the use of being reluctant?
Compared to the stability of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, she would be willing to exchange the prince for peace.
Although Feng Jun has some selfish motives, his starting point is good.
Although Xiaoliu is also her son and she feels sorry for him, he is still inferior to Xueer.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Feng Jun who was still kneeling, stood up and helped him up: "Get up first."
Murong Hua was helped up by His Majesty, feeling uneasy.
Ji Yao looked at Feng Jun and sighed solemnly, "Let me think about this matter again."
Patting Feng Jun's hand gently, he said, "Take good care of Xue'er."
Murong Hua was slightly stunned, and lowered her eyes: "I obey your order."
