If not for her, he would never have accepted the Son of Heaven into the Feng Country. If not for her, he would not have tolerated the foolish and ignorant Yin Zhun till now. On one hand, it was true that his own ambitions and warlike factors existed in this war, but there was also an important reason. That was because he wanted to create a vast river and mountain for her to become the true princess of the Empire, to be revered and worshipped by the people of the world.
But after doing so many things for her, he couldn't even compare to the result of Yin Zhun accidentally falling to the ground. It was too funny, Tang Yin felt that he was like a monkey who was wearing a collar and was being played with.
Love is more lamentable than not being in love. If these words were to be used on him, it would be perfect.
At this time, many of the ministers of the Feng Country were gathered at the plaza in front of the main palace hall, waiting for Tang Yin's good news. There were even many ministers beginning to discuss on how to prepare for the wedding. In any case, the wedding of the King and the Princess had to be extremely grand and grand. This was not only related to the prestige of the Feng Country, it was also related to the prestige of the Imperial Court. Furthermore, this was a good opportunity to show off the power of the Feng Country to all nations and the citizens of the world.
When Tang Yin returned to the palace, the ministers who were waiting immediately surrounded him and cupped their hands in salute, saying, "Congratulations, great king, you have formed good fortune with the princess ?"
All of their congratulations sounded like a joke in Tang Yin's ears. He stood up from the carriage. There was no expression on his face. It was hard to tell if he was happy or angry, but his eyes were cold and filled with a hint of coldness.
His gaze swept across the faces of each of the officials, and then he said, "Get out!"
His voice was not loud, and all the ministers could hear him clearly. They all looked at each other, wondering if they had misheard. Seeing that everyone was still standing, Tang Yin took a deep breath and shouted: "All of you, get out!"
This roar made some of the more timid ministers kneel down in fear. Now, even those who could not see the situation clearly could tell that something was wrong.
All the ministers looked at each other. They did not dare to delay any longer, and did not dare to ask for the results of the marriage proposal. They all cupped their hands and bowed: "This humble official will take his leave!" With that, the officials scattered like birds and beasts. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared in front of Tang Yin.
"Yuanji, Qiu Zhen, stay behind!" After Tang Yin returned to the carriage, he loudly added.
Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen had not gone far, when they heard Tang Yin's summons, the two of them immediately retreated.
Shangguan Yuan held his brother's hand and said in a low voice, "Big brother, ask the King what happened. It can't be that the princess has another lover, right?"
Shangguan Yuanji was so angry that he raised his hand, but before he could continue, Shangguan Yuan had already disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji came to the front of the carriage and muttered: "King!"
"Get in!" Tang Yin's gloomy voice came out from the carriage.
The two of them looked at each other and entered the carriage. After the two entered, they cupped their hands at Tang Yin and said: "Great King!"
"Have you eaten?" Tang Yin absent-mindedly asked.
"Your subject has yet to eat breakfast!" Qiu Zhen replied.
"That's great. Come have a meal with me!"
Tang Yin lifted the carriage curtain and said to Ah San who was standing outside: "Go to the kitchen. "No, let's go to the study room. Let the kitchen take the dishes to the study room. Remember, prepare more wine. No wine, no wine, just the strongest kind."
"Yes, my King!" Ah San carefully replied from outside.
Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji looked at each other, they had already predicted the outcome of the marriage. There was no need to ask, it was most likely that the King had not succeeded in proposing the marriage to the Son of Heaven. Even if the Son of Heaven was stupid, he shouldn't have obstructed this marriage. The marriage of the King and Princess was beneficial to the Royal Family, and could also help Yin Zhun secure his throne even further, unless he took the wrong medicine or became mad and lost his mind, he wouldn't have objected to this marriage.
Seeing that Tang Yin's expression was not good, and his face was gloomy, the two of them did not dare to immediately ask about the details. The two of them sat opposite of Tang Yin, with their heads bowed and did not speak.
"The two of you are usually the ones who speak the most. Why have you become mute now?" Tang Yin asked with an unfriendly tone.
Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji revealed a bitter smile, the two of them did not know what to say, and were thinking about how to express their thoughts, when Tang Yin angrily said: "Women are truly fickle, and are hard to understand."
"Your Majesty is right." Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were baffled in their hearts, but they still agreed on the surface.
Tang Yin, Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen arrived at the study room, and after waiting for a moment, the palace maids brought the food and drinks over. Tang Yin did not eat anything. Instead, he picked up the wine pot and poured himself a cup.
Soon after, he poured another cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Without any intentions of drinking with Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen, Tang Yin drank four cups of wine in a row. Shangguan Yuanji bowed forward and advised in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please eat something first. You can only drink.
"Who cares!" Tang Yin mumbled and poured the fifth cup into his stomach.1
It was easy to get drunk when drinking alcohol, not to mention the continuous drinking. After five cups of strong alcohol was drunk, Tang Yin's head had started to feel dizzy and his face was flushed red unnaturally.
Seeing that Tang Yin was about to pour more wine, Shangguan Yuanji could not sit still anymore. He stood up and pulled him back, and asked: "Is the king not willing to propose to His Majesty?"
Tang Yin waved his hand and opened Shangguan Yuanji's hands, pouring himself a cup of wine. He slowly picked it up, looked at the wine inside, laughed, and said: "If it's just Yin Zhun that doesn't want to, then it's him that is stupid. How would I take it to heart?
"That's ?" Shangguan Yuanji was confused, while rubbing the back of his hands, that were hurting from Tang Yin's slaps, he asked.
"It's Rou Er."
"Huh?" The King liked the Princess, which was something everyone could see. The Princess also liked the King, which was something that everyone knew, in the imperial family, everyone could object to the marriage, but the Princess could not. Why did the King say that the King was against it?
Qiu Zhen also walked over and asked with concern, "Great King, what happened? Is it... Does Your Highness have any misunderstandings with the King? "
Tang Yin was unwilling to speak further, he waved his hand: "What are you saying? You two just have to drink with me. " While speaking, he made Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen sit on his left and right sides, and had the maids bring their wine cups over.
Before long, the three of them had already finished five jugs of wine, and more than half of the wine had entered Tang Yin's stomach. Just then, Tang Yin felt dizzy, the scenery in front of his eyes turned into two shadows, he sat there, his body swaying uncontrollably.
"Great King, don't drink anymore!" Seeing that Tang Yin was about to pour wine for himself again, Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen stopped him at the same time. He had never seen Tang Yin when he was drunk before; his self-control was too strong, and no matter what kind of social interaction he faced, he would maintain at least five percent of his consciousness. But now, both Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen could tell that he was really drunk, and from this, he could also feel that something must have gone wrong between the King and the Princess.
Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen looked at each other. The former took away the cup in Tang Yin's hands, while the latter helped him up and said in a low voice, "The King is drunk.
Saying that, Qiu Zhen waved to Ah San who was standing at the door of the study, asking the two of them to come over and help him.
Ah San stepped forward quickly and propped Tang Yin, who couldn't even stand up straight. Taking advantage of Tang Yin's confusion, Qiu Zhen asked the two of them: "What exactly happened? What happened between the King and the Princess? "
"This ?" As someone close to Tang Yin, Ah San knew clearly that there were some things they could say, and there were some things that they couldn't tell others. The two of them seemed to be hesitating.
Seeing that, Qiu Zhen frowned, and said: "The King has already turned into this, what more do you two want to hide?"
Ah San's body trembled, and in the end, it was Ah Si who narrated everything that had happened in the Imperial Palace to Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji. When he finished speaking, Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen finally understood what was going on, the two of them sighed, the King was too anxious, and was indeed too rude to His Majesty.
"This is just a small matter. There is still room for negotiation." It was unknown if Qiu Zhen was comforting the dazed Tang Yin or comforting himself.
However, Shangguan Yuanji heaved a sigh of relief, he had thought that something big was going on, but it turned out that it was just like that, in his opinion, it was nothing, as long as the King came to his highness the Princess to speak some soft words, to accompany her, to sweet talk, it would be fine.
At that moment, there was a burst of tassels outside the study room. A woman walked in, escorted by a few palace maids.
This woman was dressed extravagantly, and her figure was tall, slim, slender, and extremely well-proportioned. Although her appearance couldn't be considered exquisite, it carried a wild nature, and was completely different from the young family's jade-like, graceful, and noble temperament.
Shangguan Yuanji knew this woman, she was the wife that Tang Yin had brought back from the Zhen Country, Pang Li.
Towards Pang Li, both Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji did not like him much. They felt that this woman was too scheming, had a low birth, and did not match the King.
That time, he had rushed to break through the Zhen Country's capital so he had no choice but to accept Pang Li's conditions. After she had helped him to break through the city, he had accepted her as her wife.
Right now, she was already one of the Monarch's wife in the Feng Country, but in the eyes of Tang Yin and all the other ministers, no one treated her like a wife.
