On the streets and alleys of Jin Ling City, the people were waving ribbons and laughing.
The Qin Huai River was playing the zither, and the women in the brothel had a 40% discount on their reception fees to celebrate the return of Canglan City.
This was not just winning back a city. Speaking of which, Canglan City originally belonged to the Chu Country, and the Chu Country did not seem to have obtained any additional gains.
However…
The people of Chu had won their dignity!
Dignity was priceless!
They used their fiercest fists to smash their enemies, who were several times larger than them, and knocked them down with one punch!
This kind of pride could not be any greater, and that Young Master Su, who had created a miracle, naturally became a hot topic in the whole city, and the fishing boat did its best to flatter him.
……
In the resplendent palace, Female Empress Jiang leaned lazily on the throne. She took the jade tea bowl and took a sip.
"Your Majesty, where did you buy the spices you used recently?”The virtuous and lovely Xiao Wan 'er asked carefully.
Jiang Yanwan raised the corner of her eyes slightly and said perfunctorily,
"It's still the old imperial merchant shop."
Xiao Wan 'er didn't believe him. She paced back and forth and said,"
"Your Majesty, just say it."
She was very infatuated with this smell, even intoxicated.
Although the fragrance was extremely strong, it was not strong at all. It was very gentle and comfortable, full of elegant femininity.
Coupled with His Majesty's noble and cold temperament, it highlighted his powerful aura!
"It's too expensive. You can't afford it." Jiang Yanwan opened her red lips and said slowly.
She took out tens of thousands of taels of silver from her private savings and only managed to exchange for seven or eight bottles.
"Your Majesty, can Wan 'er buy some?”Xiao Wan 'er's eyes were attentive.
She came from the Xiao family and naturally did not lack private money. No matter how expensive it was, she could afford it.
"No!" Jiang Yanwan scolded coldly.
"Oh." Xiao Wan 'er nodded her chin and didn't ask further.
Although she had a close relationship with the Emperor, she was still a subject and there was a limit to everything.
Since His Majesty didn't say anything, she couldn't go beyond the rules either. She was just so envious…
At this moment.
"Your Majesty, an envoy from the State of Zhao has come to visit." A palace maid hurried into the hall and reported respectfully.
Jiang Yanwan's eyebrows twitched slightly. Her tone was cold." I understand."”
……
A court meeting was held at the last minute, and all the officials walked into the court hall in an orderly manner.
The ministers looked at the emissary who was in a solemn state and felt a deep sense of pride in their hearts.
He remembered that when the former emperor died of illness, in the entire Nine Regions, only Shu Kingdom symbolically sent a few officials to offer condolences.
Why?
Other than the Shu Country, which was ranked second from the bottom in the Nine Provinces, who else was willing to deal with the Chu Country?
Weakness was the original sin!
No one would care about a country with only eight cities in a cruel war.
Even when the ruler of a country rode the dragon in the sky, they were too lazy to follow the basic etiquette.
And now?
Zhao, who was at its peak in the Central Plains, sent an envoy to Chu. The documents and seals were all in place. It was almost an exchange of equal status.
General Su had made a name for himself in that battle and forged the glory of the Chu Country, so much so that the other countries did not dare to underestimate him!
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Emissary Zhao lowered his head slightly to show his respect. With just a glance, he felt that she lived up to her reputation. In fact, the Nine Provinces had far underestimated the appearance of the Empress of the Chu Country.
It was so beautiful that it was difficult to describe it with words.
"Rise."
On the high and mighty throne, the elegant and cold empress was still expressionless.
The ministers also remained silent, waiting for Emissary Zhao to explain his intentions.
Actually, he could guess it.
General Su's troops at the border put a lot of pressure on Zhou Country's Flying Dragon City.
How could the Zhao Country miss such an opportunity? They definitely had a strategy to take the opportunity to invade the territory of the Zhou Country.
The emissary from Zhao came to Chu to discuss cooperation and achieve their goals.
In fact, the ministers did not believe that General Su could take down Flying Dragon City. This task was too difficult.
As long as the Zhou Country takes the initiative to sue for peace, our Great Chu will be able to show off and vent our anger. We will already have won a huge victory.
The emissary remembered the important task His Majesty had given him and adjusted his emotions. He said respectfully,"
"General Su is not married yet. His Majesty intends to recruit him as a son-in-law and become Princess An Ning's son-in-law.”
His voice was very calm and not too loud, but it was exceptionally loud in the quiet court.
The ministers were caught off guard, and their expressions suddenly became especially shocked.
Fuma?
Jiang Yanwan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and her heart suddenly felt empty. She felt a rare sourness in her life, and even her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.
"Zhen does not agree!"
She quickly suppressed her surging emotions and regained her usual calmness.
However, the exceptionally cold voice was filled with bone-piercing coldness, causing Xiao Wan 'er to be slightly stunned.
Isn't His Majesty too excited?
You don't agree?
The ministers were also a little confused.
The envoy of the State of Zhao said these words only to give face to the State of Chu. In fact, it was fine if he did not give face.
What does General Su's marriage have to do with Your Majesty?
Since ancient times, the matchmaker had always been the one who arranged the marriage. General Su was an orphan, so he could make his own decisions.
" Your Majesty, you..." Emissary Zhao was caught off guard, and he was speechless.
The reason why he announced it in public was purely out of respect for the Chu Country. After all, the general was fighting outside. If he wanted to arrange a marriage, he had to inform the emperor first.
But informing did not mean discussing!
The Emperor of Chu had no right to interfere with General Su's marriage!
