The atmosphere in Chaoyang Hall was solemn, especially Emperor Yongding. If he heard any news of the defeat in the war in front of the envoys of other countries, Minglan's face would be greatly lost. One after another, Emperor Yongding had to listen. If he suppressed his orders and discussed it again, wouldn't he feel unsure?

In no way, Emperor Yongding forced himself to hold his body, his face calm, his voice was majestic, "Transferred—"

The eunuch received orders and sang loudly.

Soon, a soldier with dusty appearance entered the Chaoyang Hall with a covered in wind and frost. He knelt down to Emperor Yongding without looking sideways, and his voice was clear, "Report, General Nalan led an army of 400,000 from Qixing City, besieged Chiyang City in three directions, fought bloody battles for three days, and recovered Chiyang. All the enemy troops were annihilated, capturing two enemy deputy generals, and our army suffered more than 30,000 casualties."

"Okay! OK! OK!" Emperor Yongding Longyan was very happy, applauded and praised, "Reward."

The soldier thanked him and retreated.

The ministers below were all happy and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. General Nalan is worthy of being the pillar of the ever-winning general, and he was able to recover two cities in a short time!

"Congratulations to Your Majesty." Murong Bai raised his glass, and there was still no unnecessary expression on his handsome face. Congratulations for this were just out of etiquette.

Emperor Yongding was happy and did not care about Murong Bai's coldness. Since entering the palace, it has been the first time this third prince of Tianli Kingdom has spoken on his own initiative, and he has to say that he will not give face.

"Thank you, the third prince, I will drink this title with you." Emperor Yongding picked up the wine title from the dragon table and wished the distance from afar, looking down on the world with awesomeness.

The ministers raised their glasses and thanked the Lord for their kindness. For a moment, the toasts and chats in the hall were very enthusiastic, and the coldness just now had disappeared.

Ye Shurui raised her glass and drank lazily, but unfortunately she was not here in this scene. If she learned that her father had recovered two cities in succession, she would be very happy.

"Shu Rui, what are you watching?" Emperor Yongding did not hear Ye Shurui's frivolous words today, and he was a little uncomfortable. Seeing that he had been lazy and had just raised his head to patrol the hall, he couldn't help but ask seriously.

Ye Shurui's lips raised slightly, and a trace of evil appeared. "I just sighed that there was no one in General Nalan's mansion to congratulate him here on such a great day of celebration. What a pity."

Yes, General Nalan was on an expedition and his wife died early. Now only the old general and the sick lady were left in the capital. If they were just to welcome the princes and princess of Tianli Kingdom, it would be fine if the two of them did not come, but if half of the banquet was turned into celebrating General Nalan's victory in the flag, there would be no one in the Dingguo's Mansion.

Emperor Yongding deeply agreed and called Eunuch Wen, who was in charge of serving, to the General Ding State's Mansion with the reward, which was a lot of nourishing medicinal materials. The court officials and family members knew it well that General Nalan made great achievements in military affairs, and the direction of the court in the future would probably be different. The Duke of Qin deeply regretted that if he had successfully proposed marriage a few days ago... Alas!

"Your Majesty, Minglan's soldiers are powerful and powerful, and they are singing all the way. Our Tianli Country intends to sign an alliance with your country, not invade each other, and help each other. I wonder what Your Majesty wants?" This should be the longest sentence Murong Bai has said in the hall so far, although there is still no expression on his face.

Emperor Yongding laughed loudly and said, "The country of Tianli is rich and the people are strong, and my country of Minglan is naturally willing to form an alliance with your country."

Emperor Yongding has been governing the country for decades and has never been a powerful king. As long as other countries do not attack, he will not start the war easily. Now, the Minglan Kingdom is fighting with the Southern Barbarians, and Tianli Kingdom is coming with sincerity. How could he refuse?

Murong Bai was not surprised by Emperor Yongding's answer, but it was not a bad thing for both countries. "Since that is the case, my emperor means that the two countries should make the favor of Qin and Jin, and maintain the friendship for generations."

"Oh? Then I wonder what the Tianli Emperor had?" Although he had a guess in his heart, Emperor Yongding still wanted to hear what Murong Bai said.

"Our emperor means that the royal families of the two countries choose a princess to marry into an allied country. To show sincerity, this prince has brought the princess Wenqi to Minglan Kingdom. As for whether to meet the agreement, please let the emperor Minglan consider it." Murong Bai looked completely in business. Although his words were polite, his tone revealed a toughness that could not be refused.

Ye Shurui couldn't help but look at Murong Bai more. If this cold-faced prince ascended the throne in Tianli Kingdom, he would probably have to prosper for decades. However, Ming Lan Kingdom was not patient. Ming Zhao still deserved to behave well, and it seemed gentle, but as the courageous and decisive means needed by the emperor, he did not lack any.

Emperor Yongding was also a little displeased with Murong Bai's toughness, but his expression was as usual, "But as for the candidates to discuss marriage, I still need to consider details. Can the third prince stay for two days?"

From the beginning of being kind to the current business, Emperor Yongding has changed his role very quickly.

"I heard that there are many young heroes in the Minglan Kingdom. I wonder if Your Majesty can let Wen Qi choose a partner for marriage?" Princess Wen Qi spoke for the first time after sitting down, but a layer of stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The princess of marriage chose a marriage partner by herself, which has never been before! Could it be that this princess Wen Qi already has a favorite partner?

For a moment, everyone looked at her and talked a lot. Princess Wenqi was unmoved, and her arrogant eyes were still looking at Emperor Yongding, with vague hope.

"I wonder which young talent the princess has liked in our country?" Emperor Yongding did not agree, nor did he refuse to agree.

Murong Bai frowned slightly, and Emperor Yongding was not easy to answer.

"Wen Qi first came to your country and did not know the princes of the Ming Lan Dynasty. Therefore, Wen Qi wanted to stay some time, learn more before making a decision, and hope that Your Majesty would be right." Princess Wen Qi said bluntly.

After hearing this, not only Emperor Yongding was somber, but most of the court officials sitting were not good-looking. Learn more and then make a decision? To put it nicely, aren’t you the men in my Minglan Kingdom for you to choose? What a big tone!

"What do the third prince think?" Emperor Yongding did not look at Princess Wen Qi and set his eyes on Murong Bai.

Murong Bai turned his head and glanced at Princess Wen Qi, with a expressionless face and a gentle look. "The emperor's sister has been spoiled by her father since she was a child. As her prince, I naturally hope that her sister will marry a husband who is both wise, brave and virtuous. Although the emperor's sister's request is a bit arrogant, please be tolerant of her for being alone and renowned for thousands of miles."

The words that are still polite and tough, Murong Bai is so straightforward that it makes people dislike it, but he cannot directly refuse. He is indeed a tricky person.

"I, Minglan, have great treasures, and are outstanding. If the princess wants to understand them one by one, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve results even if it lasts for a long time. It would be better to draw up a few lists by the Ministry of Rites of my country and choose the princess from this list, how about?" Prince Mingzhao's eyes were gentle, and he looked at Murong Bai and Princess Wenqi and smiled.
