This son-in-law... is actually not very satisfied...
The daughter is too weak and the son-in-law is too strong. It sounds like this marriage was arranged with difficulty. Thinking of some things in the royal family, Duke Yu couldn't help but frown.
If his daughter had been found earlier, he would definitely not have agreed to this marriage.
But thinking that this marriage was granted by the Emperor, he seemed powerless and secretly sighed...
"Your Highness, this is Prince Qilie of the Northern Frontier." Duke Yu stepped aside, making way for the Second Prince to introduce him.
"Greetings, King England." Prince Qi Lie smiled and stepped forward, bowing in greeting.
Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows and looked at the Second Prince, as if examining him. After a long while, Pei Yuanjun said, "Second Prince, you don't have to be polite. Since you are here in the Great Zhou, you are naturally a guest of the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou treats guests and enemies differently. If an enemy comes... they will never return."
The second prince's face, which originally had a gentle smile on it, stiffened for a moment, and he secretly gritted his teeth and swallowed the anger in his heart.
He has always been able to call the shots in the Northern Frontier. Even Prince Qi Ze is no match for him. He was forced to leave the Northern Frontier for a long time, and now he has just arrived in the Great Zhou, but he has been forced into such a weak position by this King of England.
He really wanted to stand up straight and retort Pei Yuanjun's words, but when his eyes met Pei Yuanjun's gloomy eyes, his heart suddenly trembled, as if a thorn in his back.
The man in front of you is the King of Great Zhou. It is because of him that the northern border has been defeated again and again.
Now he was forced to negotiate. If it weren't for Pei Yuanjun, with his planning over the years, the Great Zhou would have been almost in his hands.
How hateful!
But he didn't dare to show such hatred in his eyes, and his smile became more gentle, "Northern Border and Great Zhou have always been friendly, how could they be enemies."
He himself did not believe what he said, but he had to say it in this situation.
Otherwise, others will only say that Northern Xinjiang is weaker and that it is inferior to Great Zhou as soon as they meet, and the subsequent peace talks will not be so beneficial.
Seeing him say this, Pei Yuanjun's eyes suddenly turned and became gentle, looking quite satisfied: "That's great! The Second Prince can think this way, which shows the sincerity of Northern Frontier. I hope this sincerity can be maintained, otherwise..."
He didn't finish his words, but everyone present understood the meaning behind his words.
The veins on the Second Prince's hands were bulging in his sleeves, but in the end, they gradually calmed down. There was no abnormality on his face, as if he had not heard what Pei Yuanjun said at all.
An eunuch stepped out from behind Pei Yuanjun and announced the emperor's order, which was to respectfully welcome the envoys from the northern border and invite them to accompany the King of England to the capital.
The second prince thanked the Great Zhou Dynasty for its hospitality, turned around and asked the second princess to get off the carriage and come over to greet him.
The second princess bowed to Pei Yuanjun tenderly and said softly, "Greetings to His Majesty the King of England."
"Second Princess, you are too polite." Pei Yuanjun glanced at her and said disapprovingly. He did not elaborate with her and seemed to be treating her very poorly.
The second princess raised her head and looked at Pei Yuanjun shyly. She felt that everything about him was suitable and everything seemed right. There was actually such a handsome man in the world who met her preferences. The most important thing was the King of England.
Before she arrived at the Great Zhou Dynasty, her second brother had told her about several princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty and asked her to find a way to marry one of them so as to bring the two families together and seek peace for the two countries. If she could give birth to a child, she could seize the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and from then on the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Frontier could be unified.
This world originally belonged to them...
Crown Prince Pei Luoan is the first one. She can marry into the Eastern Palace as a concubine. Although she cannot be the principal wife or a co-wife, she is the crown prince of a country and will inherit the throne in the future. There can only be one queen, but there will still be opportunities in the future. As long as she becomes the principal wife, this position will be hers.
The second is the King of England. I heard that the Queen of England is lucky to marry in. If she can marry into the King of England’s palace, the position of the queen will be easily within her grasp.
Now it seems that the two of them are really destined to be together. Compared to that unknown prince, the second princess feels that the King of England in front of her is her perfect match.
What does a little woman with a slightly better fate mean? A strong man like this needs a strong wife, not a delicate lady from a noble family who has to take a breath even when walking.
For this reason, the second princess felt that her relationship with the King of England would not have too many ups and downs. She had her eyes on...
She stood aside, her mind was full of thoughts. She lowered her head slightly because she was shy. It was not convenient for her to say anything at this time. Her silence made her look more gentle. People felt that the princes and princesses of the Northern Frontier royal family were quite good. They heard that the Northern Frontier was barbaric, but the etiquette was also very good.
Both the second prince and the second princess are gentle and amiable people, and they also know the rules.
Pei Yuanjun didn't pay any attention to the Second Princess standing aside. He just glanced at her when she came over to pay her respects, and never took her to heart since then. However, he could also sense the sticky gaze of the Second Princess of Northern Frontier falling on him from time to time, which made him inexplicably uncomfortable.
A dark mist welled up in his eyes, and he wanted to kill the person...
After the team was reorganized a little, they went into the city together.
The city gate had already received the news and opened the main gate to welcome the envoy from Northern Xinjiang, which was considered as giving the envoy from Northern Xinjiang face.
Seeing the envoys from Northern Xinjiang entering the city, the people were talking about it. The chaos in Northern Xinjiang has lasted for so many years, and peace talks now would be a good thing for the people. But they didn't know if the people in Northern Xinjiang were sincere in the talks. They heard that they had negotiated in the past, but the people in Northern Xinjiang were cunning, and it always ended in nothing...
Pei Yuanjun brought them to a place that had been prepared long ago, and after leaving the second prince and the second princess behind, he left, leaving the second prince, who wanted to say a few polite words, hanging there in embarrassment.
"Second Prince, you must be tired from the journey. Take a rest first." Fortunately, Duke Yu came to his rescue and said.
"Thank you, Duke Yu." The second prince suppressed his anger and bowed deeply to Duke Yu.
"You're welcome, Second Prince." Duke Yu bowed to the Second Prince and said goodbye. He was eager to return home. There were still some questions in his wife's letter, and he had to meet his wife in person to clarify them.
"Please do as you wish, Duke Yu!" The Second Prince said with a smile, his hands behind his back.
After watching Duke Yu and his son leave, he brought the second princess into the yard.
The yard had been cleaned up long ago, and the two men each chose a yard to live in. During this period of time in the Great Zhou, they lived here.
After the servants had arranged the formalities, and the Second Prince and the Second Princess had washed and changed their clothes, the Second Princess could not wait to go to the Second Prince's courtyard.
The Second Prince had just packed up and sat down to rest and drink some tea when he heard the guard come to report, and he was very surprised.
He had been paying attention to Pei Yuanjun before, but he didn't realize that his sister was already in love.
He waved his hand to let the second princess in.
As soon as the second princess came in, she said, "Second brother, I want to marry the King of England."
"Plop" the teacup in the second prince's hand fell on the table, and the splashing water dropped onto his clothes.
"What did you say?" The second prince didn't even bother to wipe his clothes. He frowned and looked at the second princess with disapproval.
"Second brother, I am willing to stay for this marriage. I want to marry the King of England." The second princess said excitedly. How could she not be excited when she thought that she would be able to be with the King of England in the future and have such an outstanding man accompany her? Her life would not be in vain.
"He has already married?" asked the second prince.
"So what? Aren't those people all married? Except for the King of Wei and the King of Yan." The second princess said disapprovingly, "I heard that the King of Ying's wife is very sick and weak. I guess she won't live long like the King of Wei. But even if she can live, so what? Just let her die."
She just glanced at the information at that time without paying much attention and only vaguely saw these few sentences.
After all, at that time she felt that the person least likely to marry was the King of England.
The King of England has a very bad reputation in the Northern Frontier. When people mention the King of England, they think he is the killer of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Who would dare to bump into him for no reason
Before the second princess came, she felt that marrying anyone in the Zhou Dynasty would be better than marrying the King of England.
But now... she thinks the King of England is good in every way!
"No, King of England can't do this!" The second prince's face sank.
"Why not?" The second princess's face was frozen with joy. She was very unhappy and stamped her feet vigorously. "When I came here, didn't you say that I could choose one of them? The King of England is the second one. Why can't I choose him? Second brother, you promised me at that time that no matter who I choose, it's fine."
"I thought at that time that you would not like the King of England no matter what." The second prince stroked his head. Pei Yuanjun was too dangerous and too strong. Before he met him, he didn't think it was a big problem. Now after meeting him, he felt that it was a big problem. He was not a good match at all.
Even if his sister married into the Prince of England's Palace, she might not be able to control the King of England well, and might even cause trouble. His sister looked gentle and kind, like the women of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but she was actually domineering. If she entered the Prince of England's Palace, the Princess of England would definitely die, and she must make way for her.
"Second brother, I didn't think of it before, but now I think the King of England is the best. Only a hero like him is worthy of the good sons and daughters of my Northern Frontier. The others... are too weak." The second young master curled his lips. Even if he had never seen them, he had heard about them.
No matter how you look at it, he can't compare to this unparalleled handsome British king.
She is the princess of the Northern Frontier, so of course she wants the best.
"Second brother, if you don't agree to me, then go back. You can ask my eldest sister for the marriage!" Seeing that her brother was still wavering and seemed unwilling to help her, the second princess stomped her feet in anger. She didn't believe that her second brother would not help her. Anyway, she had set her eyes on the King of England.
She has to marry the King of England anyway, and the position of the Queen of England can only be hers in the end. Other women... are not worthy at all...
