Chapter 113: Intimate Relatives

  And dear

  The Emperor of Dali received the national letter from the Great Moon Clan and suddenly turned pale with anger. If it weren't for the presence of the civil and military officials, he would have burst out in a rage on the spot.

  Although the State of Daiyue was weaker than the State of Daiyin, it was also a country. When two countries were at war, they would not kill each other's envoys, let alone when they came to propose marriage.

  "Your Majesty, our Great Moon King wishes to marry the eldest son of your esteemed General Yin as a prince consort, in order to strengthen ties between our two nations. Let us establish the young master as the crown princess and have him take charge of the imperial harem."

  The envoy of the Ta Yueh clan wore formal attire and paid his respects with utmost respect. Before he came, he had received the prince's order to complete his mission, so he also carried a twenty-point spirit, hoping that Emperor Tai Lin would agree.

  The words of the envoy of the Dà Yuè clan stopped, and the court was suddenly in an uproar. This Dà Yuè clan was the target of their attack this time. The Dà Yuè clan joined forces with the Dà Jīn to attack the Dà Lín, so why did they suddenly come to propose a marriage?

  Moreover, although Taizu and Xian Emperor had precedents of marrying male consorts in their courts, this Daliang Mou did not. When did the grassland nation change its masculine customs? This is really puzzling.

  This is strange, and the young master of the Yin family followed King Ze to fight a war, how did it become a marriage proposal? Is there any romantic affair on the battlefield that can't be done?

  This is a point that cannot be argued. Everyone was discussing and debating, with all sorts of opinions being expressed.

  "Your Imperial Majesty, esteemed nobles, please do not misunderstand. It is not that my prince has any connection with Yin Xiaohou, but rather that Yin Xiaohou's impressive bearing and demeanor have captured my prince's heart on the battlefield. My prince has clashed with Yin Xiaohou several times, each time suffering defeat at his hands due to being overly enamored, which is why he has sworn to marry Yin Xiaohou."

  These few words, the envoy said with great poetic charm. Not to mention those civil officials, even the military generals felt that there was some meaning in them. Could it be that this prince of the Great Moon Kingdom had fallen in love with Yin Xiao Hou after being defeated?

  Seeing the crowd's expression relax, the messenger coughed lightly twice, "My great King Yue said that if Yin Xiao Hou is willing to marry down, then on the day of their marriage, he will abdicate in favor of the prince."

  As soon as the words were spoken, the grand hall suddenly fell silent. The people who had previously thought that the prince of Dà Yuè was stubbornly insisting on marrying Yīn Xiǎo Hóu just because he saw him on the battlefield were now thoroughly stunned by the actions of the King of Dà Yuè.

  Daiyue Wang was not much older than Emperor Dali, and his prince was only in his early twenties. If we wait for the emperor to pass away and the crown prince to ascend to the throne according to the rules of Dali, it's likely that we'll have to wait another twenty years or more.

  What is this situation where one would willingly yield for their son's marriage?

  Not only were the ministers shocked, but the emperor was also shocked. At least, he asked himself, if his crown prince wanted to marry a princess from a neighboring country, he would never do something like giving up the throne. The throne is not something that can be easily given away, even if the Moon Clan is not as rich and powerful as the Great Lin Kingdom, it is still the master of a country.

  "Is this really what the Emperor Taizong said?" The emperor could no longer hold back.

  "I dare not deceive Your Majesty, it is indeed so." The envoy bowed his head and saluted, "Our great King of Da Yue also said that if the young lord is willing to marry down, he would be willing to join forces with Da Lin to attack Da Jin."

  This is shocking both inside and outside the party.

  What kind of charm does this little marquis of the Yin family have, that he can actually lure the Great Moon Clan to betray the Jin and surrender? At this moment, many people were excited and turned their heads to look at the emperor above.

  If it were possible to avoid war, who would be willing to do this laborious and costly thing, except for those ambitious people. The Da Jin has never had good intentions towards the Da Lin, if this time they can cooperate with the Da Yue Shi inside and out, surround the Da Jin, at least they will be greatly injured, and the border will be worry-free for ten years.

  A small prince in exchange for ten years of peace on the border is indeed worth it. Moreover, looking at Da Yue Wang's momentum, marrying his prince will definitely be honored to the extreme and won't suffer any loss.

  But there are also people who hold dissenting opinions. This marriage seems too good to be true, has the King of Dali and his prince gone mad, wanting to do something that doesn't seem to have any benefits? It seems like the Prince of Dali has lost his mind, but who can guarantee that this isn't a conspiracy against Dali?

  They had heard that Yin Xiao Hou was exceptionally brave and a rare fierce general, although young in years, but it was precisely this that made his future boundless.

  If this is a conspiracy between Dajin and Damei, wanting to attack Dalin from inside and out. Not only will Dalin not be able to win, but he may also lose one of his brave generals, it's really unthinkable.

  The Emperor also has this concern, and he is more than what others think. Yin Haicheng doesn't need to be told by others that if the Crown Prince of Da Yue wants his sons or daughters, for the sake of the country and the people, anyone can be sent except the Crown Prince.

  But Yin Haicheng was a minister of two dynasties, and he had the merit of following the dragon. In those years, he protected his mother, the empress dowager, the crown prince, and others. Now that he is fighting on the border, how can anyone bear to send his legitimate son as a hostage for marriage?

  Although Dali has a custom of marrying male concubines, and there is also a folk custom of marrying male wives, Yin Ruofei is different from these people.

  He himself is the eldest son of Zhenjiang Hou, even if Chen's family gave birth to another eldest son later, his status would still be different from Yin Ruofei's. This is the original legitimate son, very noble. To say that he and his crown prince are about the same, if someone else asked to marry his crown prince, he might have taken the person out and killed him long ago.

  Apart from Yin Hai Cheng, his younger brother is also a headache for him. Others may not know, but he knows that his younger brother has been raising Yin Ruofei since childhood. It seems like Yin Ruofei is his study partner, but in reality, it's likely that she is almost as close to him as his own children.

  Don't look at him being strict with Yin Ruofei when practicing martial arts, but if anyone touches his little flying one, it's like stirring up a hornet's nest. The emperor thought to himself, if he were to take advantage of Yin Ruofei, wouldn't his younger brother rush to the palace with his sword and fight him to the death?

  Thinking carefully about it, this matter cannot be agreed to. It's all problematic everywhere. If something goes wrong, he will regret it bitterly.

  "The envoy has worked hard, but although this is a good intention of the King of Da Yue, however, as for this marriage matter, I'm afraid it's not that the Matchmaker God is being unreasonable in matching the mandarin ducks." The Emperor stroked his beard and smiled, yet refused.

  "Your Majesty!" The messenger was shocked, having just seen the faces of the people in the imperial court and the Emperor's expression. He had thought that this matter was already settled, but unexpectedly, it was a refusal? Just as he wanted to say more, the Grand Eunuch had already shouted "dismissal of the court", and when he looked up, the Emperor had already disappeared from view, leaving only his back. The messenger sighed, this matter was hopeless for him, so he might as well draft a letter to the Crown Prince first!

  At the same time, His Majesty also personally wrote a letter to his younger brother, Prince Ze.

  A few days later, when Rong Jingze received this letter, his nose almost crooked. He had just coaxed his little flying into his arms, but outside, there was still someone digging at the corner of the wall. This Big Moon Prince, he had also seen him during the observation war, but didn't discover that the opponent had such a sinister mind. At this moment, Rong Jingze listed him as an even more despicable existence than Da Jin Hua Di.

  Rong Jingze called Rong Shi over, and Yin Ruofei walked over with a confused expression, looking at Rong Jingze's gloomy face. Ever since that day when his master uncle confessed to him, he had been smiling at him with extreme favoritism for days, so why was he suddenly showing this kind of expression today? Had he done something wrong again?

  Yin Ruofei counted on her fingers, thinking about what she had done in the past few days. Although she was getting more and more spoiled by being pampered, according to her usual standards, she shouldn't have crossed Rong Jingze's bottom line. Especially after they shared their hearts with each other, Rong Jingze's bottom line became wider and wider, making it harder for her to cross.

  Yin Ruofei furrowed her brow in deep thought, while Rong Jingze couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he gazed at his little lover. She was so adorable, no wonder the men outside were itching to make a move on her.

  "Come here, Fei."

  Yin Ruofei obediently pounced over, and in the past few days, he had already been conditioned by Rong Jingze to have a reflexive response. As soon as Rong Jingze opened his arms, he wanted to rush into them.

  "Master Uncle, what's wrong?" Because Rong Jingze didn't want to hear him call him "Wang Ye", and he couldn't bring himself to shout out names like Ze or Zhen Yuan, the two of them had no choice but to compromise and call Rong Jingze "Master Uncle". Although Rong Jingze wasn't satisfied, after all, "Master Uncle" was still closer than "Wang Ye".

  "Do you know Wen Qiong Lei?"

  "Wen Juan Li? The prince of the Da Yue clan?" After half a year of fighting, people on both sides basically recognized each other. As soon as Rong Jing Ze mentioned the name, Yin Ru Fei nodded and remembered who it was.

  Rong Jingze's face suddenly turned black, this kind of wild man, remembering so clearly what he did!

  "What's wrong with him?" Yin Ruo Fei asked in confusion, this person except for the first time they met on a narrow path, later only had a few exchanges on the battlefield. But he always felt that the other side did not use their full strength, as if hiding something.

  Rong Jingze didn't hide it from him either, and after telling him what happened, he suddenly became so angry that his teeth itched, "Tomorrow when I see him, I must beat him until his head is broken and bleeding!"

  Yin Ruofei's attitude made Rong Jingze very satisfied, and he immediately hugged that small face and kissed him. "I'll write a letter to the emperor now, and we'll get married as soon as we return."

  "This..." Yan Ruo Fei's face suddenly turned bright red, "It was too sudden, my father he..."

  "Hmph, your father is not as great as the Emperor." Yong Jingze's face was stern, to be honest, he had never had a good impression of Yin Haicheng. If he were to obstruct him and Xiao Fei from being together, he would absolutely not show mercy. Moreover, he would not foolishly leave many openings for his opponent like in his past life, allowing them to counterattack and gain the upper hand.

  This life he must plan well, must be satisfactory, and be with Xiaofei together.

  Yin Ruofei indeed did what he said, and on the second day, he proactively asked to go into battle, specifically naming Wen Jue and Li Ying.

  Wen Kui also received a letter around the same time as Rong Jingze, and upon seeing that Emperor Da Lin had rejected his proposal, he didn't seem too anxious. If he were to propose to an ordinary person, they would probably have agreed long ago. The more uncertain the response, the more it proves how exceptional Xiao Fei is, and the more precious she becomes. Only such a person is worthy of his pursuit.

  Wen Kui Li was not discouraged at all, and when he arrived on the battlefield today and heard Yin Ruo Fei calling out his name to welcome him, his eyes lit up. No matter what Xiao Fei thought, as long as he didn't hide from him, there would be opportunities, even if he came to fight him, so what? Didn't they have a saying in Zhongyuan that "beating is affection and scolding is love"?

  In the days that followed, Wen Qianlei spent his time in various intimate and loving moments with Yin Ruofei. Although he could face his loved one directly, Wen Qianlei still had to admit that marrying someone like Yin Ruofei was not something an ordinary person could endure. However, for the sake of his happy life, he was willing to hold on a little longer because he really liked Little Fei.

  At the same time, rumors that Wen Kui was not going to take action spread quietly through both armies. Wen Kui was furious but couldn't catch anyone, at first he explained things, but later on he just had a gloomy face and didn't even bother explaining anymore.
