Chapter 1183: Prince Li’s Extra: Marriage with the Dong Family

Usually, when Concubine Dong cried, Murong Zheng would always feel distressed, and this time was no exception. However, this time, facing Qu Jingze, he could only harden his heart and waved his hand to let the guards take Concubine Dong away.

"Is Lord Qu satisfied with my treatment?"

The screaming voice of Concubine Dong finally faded away, and Murong Zheng spoke with a gloomy face.

Qu Jingze did not speak, but just smiled, and the same mocking smile as before.

Murong Zheng glared at Qu Jingze and asked, "Does Lord Qu have anything else to say?"

Qu Jingze naturally knew what Murong Zheng wanted to hear, singing praises and expressing friendship between the two countries.

But he could not let Murong Zheng get what he wanted, because he still had a task to complete.

"Your Majesty, you just punished the arsonist. Our princess in Bei'an who was frightened and injured in the face still needs your majesty to comfort her."

"Don't worry, I will not let the two princesses suffer in vain. After the court session, I will send the order of comfort to your embassy in Bei'an."

"Your Majesty, your comfort is okay for Princess Jiaoyang, but for Princess Jinxiu..." Qu Jingze was embarrassed and looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.

"When I said to comfort the two princesses, I would definitely offer them the treasures of my Great Zhou. Don't these things catch the eye of your Princess Jinxiu?"

Murong Zheng was a little angry. In his opinion, he had done his best, but Qu Jingze was still asking for more.

"Your Majesty, our Princess Jinxiu injured her face, so this marriage..."

Qu Jingze spoke with difficulty. As soon as he finished speaking, the anger on Murong Zheng's face froze.

He had seen Princess Jinxiu before. She was beautiful, but she was disfigured in the fire?

The princess's appearance was ruined, so the marriage... should continue.

"Your Majesty, the princess was injured in our Great Zhou, and it is our Great Zhou's responsibility. The marriage should continue."

Finally, someone among the court officials could not stand the suffocating silence and could not help but speak up.

"Your Majesty, the prince's wife is the face of the court, and there must not be a disfigured person."

As soon as the man finished speaking, another person stood up and expressed his opinion loudly.

Murong Zheng looked at the two people in front of him with approval, but there was a bitterness in his heart. His court officials would never defend his concubine like this.

"Your Majesty, before, Concubine Dong wanted to let Dong Lanyang and Princess Bei'an marry. The Dong family has guarded Zhenbei Pass for many years, and Zhenbei Pass is close to Bei'an, which can comfort Princess Jinxiu's homesickness."

"Your Majesty, I also think Dong Lanyang is very suitable."

No one was willing to make the Dong family more powerful before, so when the emperor mentioned Dong Lanyang, everyone shook their heads. Now that they think he is the most suitable.

Princess Jinxiu's disfigurement was originally caused by Concubine Dong. It was only natural that her family should bear the responsibility for the trouble caused by Concubine Dong. Besides, their status was very suitable. They had military power in their hands, were extremely favored by the emperor, and were even more powerful in the court.

Although they were not princes and grandchildren, this status was enough to match a disfavored princess from Bei'an, not to mention that the princess was disfigured.

Murong Zheng looked at Qu Jingze with a secretive look. He also felt that Dong Lanyang was a good choice, but the envoy from Bei'an had just forced him to send Concubine Dong to the cold palace and marry the princess to the Dong family. Was there anything wrong with the envoy's brain?

Qu Jingze just smiled at Murong Zheng. He was sure that Murong Zheng would agree.

Although he favored Concubine Dong, the people of the Dong family were still not as good as his princes.

"What does Lord Qu mean?" Murong Zheng spoke slowly, with a tentative tone in his words.

"Our Emperor Bei'an married Princess Jinxiu to the Great Zhou for the sake of peace between the two countries. As long as it is beneficial to the peace between the two countries, it doesn't matter who she marries. It all depends on the Emperor's will."

"Then marry Dong Lanyang, the son of the commander of Zhenbei Pass." Murong Zheng spoke, as if relieved. Qu Jingze's smile remained. Obviously, both parties were satisfied with this decision.
