Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Hearing these shouts, Dongfang Wuxiang dismissed them in her heart.

This Emperor Hongyuan could only speak fake Dakong words, he didn't realize his mistake at all.

If it weren't for him, Chu State would not have become like this.

Chu Xuanchen and Xian Wang attributed the reason for the refugees to natural disasters, and they were just saving face for the emperor.

However, King Xian and Chu Xuanchen were both aware of the country's shortcomings, and they were not as closed-eyed as Emperor Hongyuan was, which made him jealous.

They are broad-minded, seriously thinking about his problems, and thinking about trying to change the status quo and develop national strength, which really surprised him.

In the past, he always underestimated the Chu people, after this incident, he dare not underestimate them at all!

Thinking of this, he raised his head and said politely: "Your Majesty, your country is full of talents, and His Royal Highnesses Li Wang and Xian Wang are the dragons among men. I admire you. What they said just now has benefited me a lot. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely Talk to them a lot.”

As he said that, he picked up a glass of wine and said to Emperor Hongyuan: "Your Majesty's fine wine is really delicious, I couldn't resist drinking a few more glasses just now. If I have offended you just now, please forgive me. Come, Your Majesty, I respect you You drink."

Although Emperor Hongyuan was dissatisfied with Dongfang Wuxiang in his heart, he held up his wine glass on the surface and said indifferently: "Prince, you are welcome! I like to listen to the truth the most. Next time the prince has any opinions, just ask me directly!"

As he spoke, he drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.

An imperceptible sneer flashed in Dongfang Wuxiang's eyes.

If Emperor Hongyuan really listened to his opinions, he wouldn't be ashamed just now!

After sitting down, he glanced at Chu Xuanchen and King Xian again.

These two people are so powerful, with them, what will happen if the state of Chu rises again in the future?

It seems that he must contain the development of Chu State.

He happened to be able to take advantage of the marriage between King Xian and Nalan Meng to stay in Chu State, so as to disturb the muddy waters of Chu State, and he also took the opportunity to provoke the relationship between Chu Xuanchen and King Xian, causing them to fight among themselves.

Only when two people fight among themselves, they have no time to take care of Donglin Kingdom and develop themselves.

After the banquet, Emperor Hongyuan called Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue to the imperial study room, and looked at the saber carefully.

After looking at it for a while, he found that the knife was really sharp, so he asked Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue to forge this knife immediately.

He also delegated a lot of power to Chu Xuanchen, asking him to handle this matter quickly.

With the power given by Emperor Hongyuan, it will be much more convenient for Chu Xuanchen to do things.

There are many mines in the state of Chu, among which several iron ore mountains have been discovered.

With the ready-made raw materials, Yun Ruoyue told the swordsmith about the sword casting process, and asked the swordsmith to try to forge a sword according to her method.

A few days later, the swordsmith cast a refined iron sword.

When Yun Ruoyue saw the sword, she was surprised.

It was a gleaming sword with a cold light.

Chu Xuanchen tried it, and found that the sword was very sharp, it cut iron like mud, and its sharpness was overwhelming.

Its toughness, hardness, and firmness are far superior to the Longque Sword. Although it cannot be compared with Yun Ruoyue's saber, it is already the best sword at present.

Chu Xuanchen was very satisfied to be able to reach such a level.

He immediately sent people to increase the casting, striving to equip everyone in Xuan Ce's army with such a sword.

If all the soldiers can use it, then the Chu army will be indestructible and impregnable.

Li Wangfu

On this day, Chu Xuanchen came back to the palace, and Moli's voice came from outside, "My lord, the prince of Donglin is here! He brought a lot of gifts and said he wants to pay a visit to you!"

"Dongfang Wuxiang? Why is he looking for this king?" Chu Xuanchen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Mo Li said: "I don't know, but my subordinates are sure that nothing good will happen."

Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows, "Okay, let him come in!"

"Yes." Mo Li said, and then backed out.

Soon, Mo Li invited Dongfang Wuxiang into the flower hall of Prince Li's Mansion.

Mo Li cupped his hands towards Chu Xuanchen and said, "My lord, the prince is here!"

As he spoke, he said to Dongfang Wuxiang: "Prince, please come in."

After Dongfang Wuxiang nodded, he walked in and cupped his hands towards Chu Xuanchen, "Li Wang, I hope you will forgive me for taking the liberty to visit."

As he spoke, he pointed to the gift in the hand of the guard behind him, and said, "These Donglin delicacies are specially prepared by the Palace for Princess Li and the children, please accept them."

Chu Xuanchen looked at Dongfang Wuxiang, and said with a faint smile, "The one who comes is a guest, why should the prince be so polite? Prince, please sit down."

As he spoke, he pointed to the seat in front of him.

"Thank you, please." Dongfang Wuxiang said and sat down.

After Dongfang Wuxiang sat down, Chu Xuanchen also sat down opposite him.

Then, he said: "Come here, let's have some tea."

"Yes." After the servant finished speaking, he hurried to serve tea.

At this time, Chu Xuanchen smiled slightly, and said lightly, "I don't know what the prince wants to do with this king?"

Dongfang Wuxiang smiled softly, with a kind smile on his face, "At the palace banquet last time, I saw His Highness's talent with my own eyes. Your Highness is well-informed and capable. He is a rare talent in the world. After the palace banquet, I will say goodbye , I really want to make His Highness a friend again, but I have never had the chance. Today, I happen to be free, so I came here uninvited, just hoping to have another chat with His Highness."

A smile curled up on the corner of Chu Xuanchen's lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

This Dongfang Wuxiang is quite good at pretending to be a good person, but he doesn't want to play tricks with him.

He said: "These are all false names, not worth mentioning. This king likes to get straight to the point. What's the matter with the crown prince, you might as well speak up."

Seeing what Chu Xuanchen said, Dongfang Wuxiang frowned, and said with a smile, "Okay, King Li is straightforward, so I won't go around in circles with you, I will speak straight."

As he spoke, he said: "To be honest, I came here this time to discuss cooperation with the prince."

Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What cooperation?"

Dongfang Wuxiang said: "As we all know, you are a high-ranking lord, with power over the world, and you are deeply loved by the people. But according to my understanding, you have a very powerful opponent, and he is the virtuous king. The virtuous king is quick-witted, wise and brave. , is highly regarded by Emperor Hongyuan, and his recent development momentum is very strong, which cannot be underestimated."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Chu Xuanchen said lightly.

Dongfang Wuxiang looked at him meaningfully, and said, "King Li, originally the virtuous king was not as powerful as you, but now he has an extra Nalan Meng. Once he is married to Nalan Meng, his strength will become even stronger. Take it to a new level. At that time, he will definitely be able to fight against you. The Nalan family is extremely powerful, and even my father was supported by their family, which shows how powerful this family is."

"If the Nalan family supported the virtuous king, not only would the virtuous king be able to compete with you, but he might even have a slight upper hand. At that time, your situation will be in jeopardy, my lord. Don't you worry?"
