Chapter Fifty-Three: The Prince of the Southern Kingdom
Chapter 53 The Prince of the Southern Kingdom
Shen Yueying pulled Mu Chen all the way to the main hall of the palace, Mu Chen looked around, because he had never seen the palace, so he didn't know whether the palace of the Western Dynasty was big or small, but Mu Chen looked at it and found that the pattern of the entire palace was not very large, which also showed the weakness of the economy and strength of the Western Dynasty.

Following Shen Yueying to the main hall, Shen Yueying walked straight in, and Mu Chen followed Shen Yueying closely behind. As soon as he entered the main hall, Mu Chen saw that there were a total of seven people in the main hall in addition to the guards, two of whom Mu Chen knew, that is, Bian Xiaofeng and Sima Yulan, who had just come in, and there was a middle-aged man sitting on the dragon chair facing the gate when he entered the main hall, wearing a crown, with a serious and upright expression, presumably it was Shen Yueying's father, the emperor of the Western Dynasty, and there was a beautiful woman sitting next to the emperor, wearing a phoenix crown, looking very moving, giving people a sense of maturity, this person was the queen of the Western Dynasty, and a middle-aged man dressed as a military attaché, and a man of the same age as Mu Chen, who looked like an aristocratic and unruly aura, and there is a man standing next to this young man, who looks like he should be a practitioner.
The man saw Shen Yueying coming in, and hurriedly said with a smile, "Yueying, it's coming" Shen Yueying glared at the man, pulled Mu Chen, and walked straight forward, the man saw Shen Yueying pulling Mu Chen, so he looked at Mu Chen with an angry look.
Shen Yueying walked in front of the emperor, made a gesture, and said, "Father" The emperor nodded with a smile, then looked at Mu Chen, looked at Mu Chen with strange eyes, and said, "Who is this?" Shen Yueying hurriedly said, "This is my brother Mu, he is very powerful, I asked him to play with me" The emperor said, "Why have I never heard you say it?" Mu Chen said respectfully, "See the emperor, my name is Mu Chen, the grass people are just a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, and the princess is just a meeting in Pingshui"
At this time, the middle-aged man who looked like a military attache stepped forward and said, "Boy, don't you know that you can't wear a weapon when you enter the palace to see the emperor?" Shen Yueying hurriedly went up and said, "Uncle Wu, don't, Brother Mu is my friend, he won't hurt his father" After speaking, he looked at the emperor, with a pleading look, the emperor saw Shen Yueying's eyes, and couldn't help laughing and said, "General Wu, forget it, since you are a friend of Princess Anguo, don't be too harsh" General Wu wanted to say something, but when he saw the emperor's kind expression, he swallowed his words back.
Mu Chen said, "Your Majesty, I am really offended today, but I also have something important to do" The emperor asked, "What's the matter, tell this king" Mu Chen said, "The two people who just came, one is my sworn brother and the other is the princess of the Northern Dynasty, you know this" The emperor nodded and said, "That's right, it's these two" Then he looked at Bian Xiaofeng and Sima Yulan on the side, and said, "They are here to ask this king for Sima Yunxuan's prince" Mu Chen nodded and said" The purpose of the two of them is the same, because Prince Sima is also my sworn brother, so I hope that the emperor can raise his noble hand."
The emperor said, "It's easy to say, I didn't want to keep Prince Sima, but he refused to marry in the court, causing my royal family to lose face, and I was forced to do so, but now I am waiting for a good life, if so, then I will send someone to release Prince Sima" After that, he waved his hand to General Wu, indicating that he would bring Sima Yunxuan.
Hearing that the emperor was so sympathetic to Dali, Mu Chen was also a lot relieved, and looked at Bian Xiaofeng and the two, both of whom were also relieved.
"Wait" When Mu Chen was secretly happy, he heard a person shouting, and when he looked back, he found that it was the man who had just spoken to Shen Yueying, and said with a displeased face, "Wait a minute, the emperor, I respect you as the emperor, but how can I also be the prince of the Southern Dynasty, but you ignore me for the sake of a prince of another country, is it disrespectful to my Southern Dynasty"
Mu Chen looked at it and thought to himself, "This is what Yue Ying said about Xiao Wenchong, it's really a little unruly" The emperor smiled and said, "Haha, Prince Wenchong is serious, this king is just solving one thing at a time, and things have to come one by one, and besides, this Prince Sima has been in this palace for so long, and he is a little sorry for him, so of course he must solve the matter of Prince Sima first." ”
Xiao Wenchong rolled his eyes at the emperor and said, "Hmph, do you mean that I am not as good as the bullshit prince of the Northern Dynasty?" I have come to propose marriage so many times, and you have refused again and again, shouldn't you feel guilty about me?" Mu Chen felt very funny in his heart when he heard this, how could he blame the emperor for the unsuccessful marriage proposal? The emperor said, "Prince Wenchong, this marriage is a major event, you can't be wishful thinking, and this king can't help it" Shen Yueying on the side stepped forward and said. Little mosquito, why are you so unreasonable, I said that I would not agree to you, you just don't give up, you have so many princesses, do you let this princess be your concubine?"
Xiao Wenchong saw Shen Yueying speak, and hurriedly said with a submissive face, "Yes, yes, Yueying is right, or I will go back and drive my wife away, and marry you as a wife, as for the gift money" After speaking, he clapped his hands twice, and four people carried a big box into the main hall, opened the box, and filled it with gold, silver and jewelry, and said, "These finances can be comparable to your country's military spending for a year, if the two countries marry, our country will continue to support your country"
After hearing this, Shen Yueying looked at the emperor with a panicked expression, as if she was worried that the emperor would hesitate, but she didn't expect the emperor to see the property and said indifferently, "If the happiness of the little girl can be measured by money, then wouldn't it be too irresponsible for me as a father" The queen on the side said, "Prince Wenchong, the princess doesn't want to marry you, so don't make it difficult for you" Mu Chen said in his heart, "It seems that this emperor and queen really love her daughter deeply, and she doesn't want to marry her to a person with bad character"
Shen Yueying breathed a sigh of relief, and said proudly, "Hmph, I heard it, go back quickly" Xiao Wenchong changed his previous attitude and said, "Hmph, Your Majesty, I have already given you enough face, if you insist repeatedly, it will be to look down on my country, if it causes unhappiness between the two countries because of this, it will not be good" As soon as he heard that Xiao Wenchong's persuasion would not work, he was about to threaten, Sima Yulan sneered and said, "Hmph, what a leper dog" Xiao Wenchong said angrily, "What did you say?" Sima Yulan said, "What? Say what's wrong with you, this Princess Duanshu of the Western Dynasty is my brother's future wife, and she is the marriage partner designated by my father, if you dare to move the Western Dynasty, it will be impossible to get along with my Northern Dynasty."
When Xiao Wenchong heard this, he just sulked and said, "Okay, there are a lot of you, I don't have a verbal dispute with you, in this way, how about we gamble, if I lose, I will never bother your country in the future, if I win, then marry Princess Anguo to me, how about it?"
The emperor thought about it for a moment and said, "What kind of gambling method?"
