Murong Ke said as a warning. Ignoring the others who were still looking at each other, he continued to eat and drink leisurely. When he was full, he swaggered up and left Taoran Residence with Lu Xiangzhi.
"This …" Sun Jiasheng was stunned for a long time. He looked at the others and asked, "What does Sixth Wangye mean?"
"He doesn't seem to care that the young Wangye was ambushed?" The chubby middle-aged man said, "By the way … did Sixth Wangye accept the gifts you gave him these days?"
"It seems that since the young Wangye left, all the gifts were accepted," another person said.
When Murong Ke first came to Nanyue, they tried to test him and the young Wangye with gifts, but no matter how expensive the gifts were, they were rejected. It was not until the young Wangye left Nanyue that Murong Ke accepted their gifts.
Did this mean that … Murong Ke was actually willing to cooperate with them? Was it because of the young Wangye that he didn't accept the gifts?
Sun Jiasheng said, "If Murong Ke is willing to cover up for us, it's naturally good. I heard that someone has impeached Li Jingyao in the court. If something happens to him, who knows who the next governor will be. No matter what, it's better to have one more friend in the court than one more enemy."
"Murong Ke … how much does he know about us?" the chubby middle-aged man asked in a low voice.
"It's not easy to know a lot about Nanyue. You really didn't ambush the young Wangye?" Sun Jiasheng asked with a frown.
The chubby middle-aged man said, "No, if something happens to the young Wangye, won't we have to deal with Nanyue? We're not that stupid."
Sun Jiasheng sighed softly, "Anyway, it seems that Sixth Wangye is temporarily harmless to us. This is a good thing."
"I heard that the Sixth Marquis risked his life to save the Empress. This is a secret of the Imperial Family. It seems that our Sixth Marquis may not be as loyal to the Emperor as he appears on the surface." The fat middle-aged man smiled slyly.
"You can't say that." Sun Jiasheng reprimanded.
The chubby middle-aged man said, "I heard it, but Sixth Wangye really went to Xiliang …"
Sun Jiasheng said in a low voice, "Okay, let's go. Everyone should be careful."
"I'll go talk to Li Jingyao and tell him to be careful."
"No matter what, our Nanyue Trading Company must be of one mind this time. Don't be like the Pan and Feng families of the past …" Sun Jiasheng glanced at them. "As long as we are of one mind, the Imperial Court cannot do anything to us."
After leaving Taoran Residence, Sun Jiasheng did not return home. Instead, he headed in the direction of Jiangwan.
Soon, he arrived at the dock and saw Cao Xingyu, who had been waiting for him for a long time, in a large ship.
"Head Cao." Sun Jiasheng cupped his hands in greeting and said respectfully, "I was drinking with the Sixth Marquis just now and was delayed. I hope Steward Cao can forgive me."
Cao Xingyu waved his hand and gestured for Sun Jiasheng to sit down. "Sixth Prince, what do you think of him?"
"He's already willing to accept everyone's gifts. It looks like he's the same as what Head Cao said. He's not as loyal and devoted to His Majesty as the young prince …" Sun Jiasheng said in a low voice.
…
…
Zhao Yong entered the palace to bid farewell to Mo Rongzhan, even though he knew that Mo Rongzhan definitely did not want to see him.
However, when the envoy left, he definitely had to enter the palace to pay his respects to His Majesty.
Mo Rongzhan looked coldly at Zhao Yong, who was standing below, and resisted the urge to slap him out of the main hall.
"Your Majesty, this prince sincerely hopes that our two countries can form a marriage alliance, to increase the trust and sincerity between the Jin and Qi Kingdoms." Zhao Yong mentioned the marriage alliance in front of all the officials.
Everyone in the imperial court hoped to form a marriage alliance with the Qi Kingdom. After all, it was a good thing for the Jin Kingdom. At least it would be a great help in dealing with the Dark North Kingdom.
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly. "We also hope to form an alliance with the Qi Kingdom and become a powerful nation."
He still did not mention the marriage alliance. He did not want to agree to it just like that.
Zhao Yong smiled confidently and arrogantly. "This prince will wait for His Majesty to personally propose marriage in the Qi Kingdom."
What he meant was that if the Jin Kingdom wanted to marry the princess, then Mo Rongzhan had to personally propose marriage. Otherwise, the Qi Kingdom would not marry the princess so easily.
"Definitely!" Mo Rongzhan's voice was low and cold. Although he had already decided to agree, he did not know why, but when he thought of Yao Yao, he could not bring himself to agree.
If he agreed to marry the Qi Kingdom's princess, Yao Yao would definitely not agree, even if he promised not to let the Qi Kingdom's princess bear a child.
Before bringing the Qi Kingdom's princess to the Jin Kingdom, he had to get Yao Yao's approval.
Zhao Yong smiled and looked at Mo Rongzhan. He cupped his hands in salute and left the main hall with Song Honao.
Their carriage was already waiting outside the palace. Zhao Xin and Zhao Ning were in the same carriage. Hearing the sound of departure, Zhao Ning, who had been sitting quietly, slowly opened his eyes. Finally, they were leaving the capital …
Zhao Xin sat by the window and lifted a corner of the curtain to look outside. Her fair cheeks were flushed and she was trying to suppress a smile.
Even if Zhao Ning wanted to ignore her, he could not bear to see her like this. "What are you looking at?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Zhao Xin snorted.
Zhao Ning glanced at her and walked over to lift the curtain. Seeing Mo Rongyi walking not far in front of her, she laughed coldly and let the curtain down. "So that's how it is. Just a few days ago, you were shouting at me because of Song Honao. Today, you're blushing at someone else. You're really something."
Zhao Xin indeed had expectations for Song Honao. After all, he was the young man that her father liked the most. What was wrong with her not wanting to find a weak and useless Prince Consort? But Mo Rongyi was different. He had even saved her yesterday. A young girl yearns for love, and her first heartbeat had inexplicably appeared. This was different from her expectations for Song Honao. She really liked Mo Rongyi.
"I like him. So what?" Zhao Xin said matter-of-factly. "Us Qi ladies are not as shy as the Jin ladies. Whoever you like, just say it out. When we reach Qi, I will look for my father."
Zhao Ning looked at her coldly. "Look for my father for what? To let you marry Mo Rongyi? "
Dream on! Zhao Ning thought to herself.
"Don't think that everyone will like you. Men care more about their own futures. Do you really think that you're a Qi princess? You came from a fishing village. No matter how beautiful your clothes are in the future, you will always be a fisherwoman. "Zhao Xin said.
Zhao Ning closed her eyes and ignored Zhao Xin. She thought about what Song Honao had said to the others yesterday.
The Qi and Jin countries were going to have a marriage alliance … the Emperor wanted to marry the Qi princess to the Jin country as an imperial concubine.
Marry Mo Rongzhan as an imperial concubine? Zhao Ning felt a surge of warmth in her heart. However, when she thought about the Empress, the feeling quickly disappeared.
She did not want to marry Marquis Anning, nor did she want to marry Mo Rongzhan.
If she became an imperial concubine, then her life would be over. The Emperor liked the Empress. This was something she had always known.
