Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Emperor Hongyuan looked at Chu Xuanchen, and said, "King Li, I heard that the eldest prince of Xueyue Kingdom has also come with you?"

"Yes." Chu Xuanchen immediately said, "Your Majesty, in order to show the sincerity of the alliance, the Eldest Prince has already brought a lot of gifts and is waiting outside, just waiting for the Emperor to summon him!"

When he heard that someone had brought a gift, Emperor Hongyuan's face became a little better.

After all, reaching out does not hit a smiling person, let alone a smiling person with a gift.

He then said, "Okay then, let him have an audience."

"Prince Xuanda sees you." Eunuch Xu immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

Not long after he shouted, a group of people dressed in Xueyue Kingdom costumes walked in outside the main hall.

Among them, Xue Wuxia, who was dressed in purple, walked in the front, and behind him was a group of guards who did not look sideways.

The guards were holding various gift boxes in their hands, and it seemed that the formation was huge.

After Xue Wuxia walked in, she put her hands on her chest, leaned forward slightly, and saluted Emperor Hongyuan, "Xue Wuxia, the envoy of Xueyue Kingdom, pays homage to Your Majesty."

"Exemption!" Emperor Hongyuan said politely, "Prince, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!"

Xue Wuxia nodded lightly, "Yes, this shows that our country and Chu country have a deep relationship."

As he spoke, he continued: "Your Majesty, the state of Chu borders the state of Xueyue, and our princess Ruoyue married King Li of your country as her concubine. The marriage between the two countries is like brothers. They are a family. In order to protect the two The friendly relationship between the two countries, the queen of our country specially ordered her to bring some treasures to her majesty, hoping to form an alliance with the Chu country, so as to form an alliance of friendship and mutual assistance from generation to generation."

Having said that, he looked at the guards behind him and said, "Come here, send the treasure!"

"Yes." After the guards finished speaking, they stepped forward and opened the gift box in their hands.

The moment the gift box was opened, bursts of bright golden light burst out.

I saw all kinds of jewels inside, and these jewels were shining, each of which was a rare thing, which made everyone envious and jealous.

This Xueyue Kingdom is really generous, to give Emperor Hongyuan such a precious gift.

When Emperor Hongyuan saw these treasures, he froze instantly.

Xueyue Kingdom actually offered him so many precious treasures, which shows that Xueyue Kingdom is very sincere about the alliance.

Seeing these treasures made him feel elated and in a good mood.

He immediately laughed and said, "Eldest prince, the queen is too polite!"

Xue Wuxia said: "The queen's move is also a sincere hope that our two countries can have a good relationship forever and be united forever."

"Okay! The eldest prince spoke well!" Emperor Hongyuan stood up and walked down the steps as soon as he was in a good mood.

As he walked towards Xue Wuxia, he said cordially: "Prince, Xueyue Kingdom is so sincere, how can I win your country's heart? The eldest prince is right, our two countries border each other, and Princess Li is the princess of your country , we are really close, like a family."

Having said that, he turned around, looked at the courtiers, and said proudly: "Well, from now on, our Chu Kingdom will form an alliance with Xueyue Kingdom, and the two countries will form a relationship of friendship from generation to generation, as close as a family. From now on, we will help each other , mutual benefit, and jointly maintain the friendly relationship between the two sides.”

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." All the officials immediately congratulated in unison.

Hearing everyone's congratulations, Emperor Hongyuan stroked the stubble on his chin, full of complacency.

Seeing such a result, Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows. It seems that Emperor Hongyuan should not blame him anymore!

At this point, everyone was saying congratulations.

Emperor Hongyuan glanced secretly at Chu Xuanchen. He originally wanted to find an excuse to punish Chu Xuanchen, but now in this situation, he had no choice but to expose the previous matter.

However, even if Chu Xuanchen was not punished, he had already thought of a way to deal with him.

At this time, Li Taishi said: "Congratulations to the emperor for gaining another hard-core ally. This credit should belong to His Highness Li Wang and the two generals. Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness Li and the two generals have made meritorious service, the old minister dares to ask, Is it possible to let them pay off their merits and exempt them from punishment?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately stared at Emperor Hongyuan nervously.

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Hongyuan suddenly smiled and said: "Teacher Li is right, King Li and the two generals have made meritorious service, and they can be regarded as paying off their merits. In this way, then I will see it for the sake of the alliance between the two countries. Forgive the guilt of the three of them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The three of Chu Xuanchen immediately bowed their hands together.

Now, Dong Changfeng and Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

Because they led troops out of Beijing privately, they committed the serious crime of beheading.

The emperor can worry about Chu Xuanchen, but he doesn't need to worry about them, so they were very nervous just now, for fear of being convicted.

But now through the alliance between the two countries, Emperor Hongyuan was in a good mood, and he pardoned their crimes. The heavy stone that was pressing on them was finally removed, and they immediately felt relieved.

King Yan and the others were dissatisfied when they saw the result.

But no matter how dissatisfied they were, they dared not spoil Emperor Hongyuan's interest at this time.

So they had no choice but to suppress the anger in their hearts, and congratulated Emperor Hongyuan with everyone.

King Yan gave Chu Xuanchen a hard look.

This Chu Xuanchen is really an unbeatable Xiaoqiang.

It's not fair that he can be easily exposed for such a big crime.

At this time, Emperor Hongyuan swept away the crowd, and finally turned his attention to King Xian and Chu Xuanchen.

After he glanced at King Xian, he looked at Chu Xuanchen again, and said, "This time, thanks to King Li, I was able to make an ally like Xueyue Kingdom. King Li has made great contributions, and I should reward him!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Did Emperor Hongyuan want to reward Chu Xuanchen?

Chu Xuanchen committed such a serious crime. If he didn't punish Chu Xuanchen, it was already giving Chu Xuanchen face. Now he wants to reward him. What does he mean?

Chu Xuanchen felt a little strange when he heard Emperor Hongyuan's words.

It stands to reason that it is considered very good for the emperor not to punish him, why would he reward him extra?

He always felt that there was a mystery in it.

He immediately stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty, but this alliance is not due to the minister, but to the Emperor. It is the Emperor's wisdom and martial arts that made the queen form an alliance with Chu, so I dare not accept any rewards. "

"Hey! Xuan Chen, after all, it is because of you that Xueyue Kingdom formed an alliance with me, so of course I want to reward you, you must not refuse." After Emperor Hongyuan waved his hand, he said in a deep voice, "Xuan Chen, over the years, you have worked hard for the state of Chu and made a lot of contributions. You have worked hard!"

"I don't dare, these are what I should do." Chu Xuanchen felt a "thump" in his heart, and a bad premonition struck him.

"No, you have been really tired all these years, and you should take a rest. In this way, I will give you a large fief. This fief is in the South Vietnam area. There are seven counties in this fief, and it covers a large area. , the land is fertile, and the folk customs are simple and honest. I give it to you now, you must manage it well and help me guard the South Vietnam area." Emperor Hongyuan said majesticly.
