Xiao Junyi and Xiao Changde both paid attention to the emperor's expression, and when he said this, it was definitely an exclamation from the heart.

In other words, the emperor may not really know about the fact that Long Weiying was used by Zheng Guifei and the second prince?

Xiao Changde said modestly: "It is the responsibility of my Xiao family to defend the territory of Nanjing without losing a penny. ”

Duan Huan nodded: "Not only do we have to guard now, but in the next step, we have to prepare for expansion." ”

The three members of the Xiao family were shocked, the emperor was not satisfied with the status quo and wanted to invade neighboring countries and expand his territory?

Xiao Changde was thinking about how to persuade him, and the emperor continued to speak: "Yuan Huai has merit in guarding the border pass, and Jun Yi has merit in sneaking into Xiling to pick up Yun Qian, so I will give Jun Yi a grace, and I will do something to you at will!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people present showed envious expressions, and the emperor opened his mouth to do anything at will, what a great grace this is?

Only Xiao Changde and Xiao Yuanhuai don't think so, combined with the emperor's two sentences before and after, if Jun Yi accepts this grace, it means that the Xiao family is willing to support him in invading neighboring countries and expanding his territory.

Just when the two thought that Jun Yi would refuse politely, Xiao Junyi got up and thanked for his grace, and then said, "Please allow Jun Yi to do his own marriage!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire banquet hall exploded.

Xiao Shizi has not yet married a wife and concubine when he is twenty years old, which is a matter of great concern to the entire Xijing, and now, he actually asked the emperor to be the main marriage, is this not a prelude to preparing to become a monk?

Even the emperor was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay, it's accurate!" ”

Although he came today, in addition to giving face to the Xiao family and celebrating the birthday of the prince of Jing'an, he also wanted to point out the princess to Xiao Junyi as his wife, but he never expected that Xiao Junyi would make such a request, and he could only accept it, so the princess's affairs had to be slowed down first.

It would be a pity for a son like Xiao Junyi to be given to anyone's family, so the emperor decided that the best thing was naturally to give it to his daughter first.

Although it is said that he can't get married now, he can still find a way for Xiao Junyi to ask for the princess by himself, so the emperor is not in a hurry at all.

On the side of the women's banquet, the queen deliberately knocked over the tea, and took advantage of the change of clothes to hurriedly make a bowl of longevity noodles for her father in the small kitchen.

After lunch, the emperor and queen returned to the palace, and most of the guests also took their leave.

Because of Xiao Junyi's request, the old prince and General Xiao had no intention of drinking, so they arranged the rest of the guests, so they hurriedly called Xiao Junyi into the study, and Qin Xuezhen was also there.

The old prince's face was solemn: "Yi'er, the emperor's meaning is already obvious, if you respond, our Xiao family will invade neighboring countries for the emperor." ”

General Xiao said: "Yi'er, you are sensible, today, how can you be so confused, Nanjing is vast and rich, when the emperor was alive, he warned future generations that he would never be an invader who destroyed people's homes." ”

As the princess of a country, Qin Xuezhen still knows a little about the political affairs between countries: "Yes, Jun Yi, if you are not satisfied with the candidate chosen by your mother, you can discuss it with your family, even if the emperor is your uncle, you can't make such a request." ”

"Grandfather, father, mother, you listen to me first, if I don't make such a request today, it will be today, and it will be only a few days later, and the holy decree of marriage will arrive at the General's Mansion."

"The decree of marriage? What kind of marriage is given? Xiao Changde asked.
