Chapter 471 Don’t Pick Up 28
Seeing that the empress's father's suggestion didn't work, the court officials gradually gave up the idea.
The harem was still empty, so someone suggested expanding the harem so that the empress would have a bond and would have hope of survival on the battlefield and hope to come back alive.
Such a ridiculous reason made Su Lingruo silent.
General Lin just knelt down and hugged her thighs, "Your Majesty, I beg you, please don't die. If I were a man, I would definitely enter your Majesty's harem."
"Let go." Su Lingruo had a headache. General Lin was born with supernatural powers. She was originally the daughter of a blacksmith. She was ridiculed because she could eat ten big steamed buns and five bowls of rice in one meal, and no one dared to marry her.
Later, Su Lingruo discovered that she was born with supernatural powers, so he picked her up and made her a general.
However, General Lin has an androgynous appearance, has been a blacksmith for many years, has a muscular body, and speaks straightforwardly. People who don't know him might think he is a man.
"No, Your Majesty, please let me go to the war. Please expand your harem. Please don't..."
The next second, General Lin's hand that was holding Su Lingruo's thigh was opened, and with a bang, the big General Lin fell to the ground.
"My dear, I will consider it. You can go down first."
General Lin stood up and said, "Your Majesty is so strong. He should eat almost the same meal as her. I really want to know how Your Majesty manages to sit on the dragon throne every day without any exercise."
If Su Ling knew what General Lin was thinking, she would probably be speechless again.
Expand the harem?
Su Lingruo curled her lips and then asked someone to spread the news.
"Your Majesty." Lin Mengguang was very happy. "The harem has been empty for so long, and Your Majesty is finally willing to accept concubines."
She chuckled, "I heard that Prince Qiao likes your majesty very much and has not yet married. Your majesty, why don't you marry him in advance and give him the position of a beauty."
"No rush." Su Lingruo shook her head, "It's not time yet."
"I have several handsome men in my house that I have not yet enjoyed. If Your Majesty likes them, I am willing to give them to you."
Lin Mengguang looked very painful, as if he had made a huge concession.
Su Lingruo felt helpless. Perhaps this female general's skills were all focused on military force. If it were any other emperor, he would probably think that Lin Mengguang was giving her something she didn't want.
Thinking of the thin man that Lin Mengguang liked, Su Lingruo twitched her lips, "My dear, keep him for yourself."
"Ok."
The news has been released for more than a month, but there has been no response.
Su Lingruo was also working on the attack on North Vietnam. She had searched the entire Nanlin but could not find any trace of Xie Chengyao. There was only one possibility, that Xie Chengyao was in North Vietnam.
She was not very surprised. If she guessed correctly, Xie Chengyao should also be a powerful person in the North Yue Kingdom.
Once she kills their king, she won't be afraid of not being able to force Xie Chengyao out.
The army of the Southern Lin Kingdom was approaching, and the army of the Northern Yue Kingdom was also approaching. It was a dark mass, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder on both sides, just waiting for the order from the commanders of both sides to start fighting each other.
But no one expected that at this time, the envoys from North Vietnam asked to see the empress of the Southern Lin Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, the war between Nanlin and Beiyue can be avoided. Our king is willing to cede ten cities..."
As the envoy spoke, his thoughts drifted far away. In fact, it was not ten castles, but the entire North Vietnam. He was just persuaded by the envoy. He and Xie Chengyao said that if it was such a big deal at the beginning, the empress would probably not agree so quickly.
It would be better to wait until the empress refuses, and then slowly increase the stakes.
Xie Chengyao agreed reluctantly.
"Hmph, Beiyue is so kind, but I'm afraid there are conditions?" Prime Minister Yun snorted coldly.
The North Vietnamese envoy hesitated whether to speak or not. The big guy next to him and the woman who was speaking had eyes like swords, as if they would use these swords to cut him into pieces if he couldn't say something nice next.
Calm down, calm down. When two sides are fighting, do not kill the messengers.
It was just his bad luck that he got this job.
Forget it, just die.
"The condition is...marriage..."
With a swish, General Lin drew the long sword from his waist and pointed it directly at the envoy.
"My dear minister." Su Lingruo raised her eyes slightly, and Lin Mengguang put away his sword and snorted coldly at the envoy.
What a nice thought, marriage alliance? It doesn't even consider whether the King of North Vietnam is worthy of the marriage.
Although the eldest princess had been traveling for a long time, Lin Mengguang had met her once when she was the daughter of a blacksmith. At that time, she had just finished forging iron, her face was dusty, and she ate a big bun in one mouthful.
Xie Si'an, who was passing by, was stunned and thought she was a little beggar. He felt sorry for her and asked the maid to give her some silver and money so that Lin Mengguang could buy some food and learn some skills so that she would not starve.
She was so kind-hearted, unlike those dignitaries who looked down on the common people. Lin Mengguang was reluctant to let her go to marry.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to go to war, and not send the princess to marry in North Vietnam."
When the envoy heard the name of the princess, he was stunned, and then he said quickly, "We don't want the princess to marry, the one she wants to marry is the empress..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone looked at the envoy with murderous eyes. If those glances had substance, the envoy would have been killed many times this time.
Lin Mengguang was so angry that she almost died. This was more uncomfortable for her than asking the eldest princess to marry a foreign princess. She immediately wanted to chop off the envoy's head regardless of the consequences.
She had not received much education and had been treated as a boy by her father since she was young. She had always been taken care of by her father to do blacksmithing. Naturally, she did not know that when two countries were at war, envoys should not be killed. She immediately drew her sword and prepared to chop off the envoy's head.
This is simply too much. How dare these people from North Vietnam ask the empress to marry a princess?
Su Lingruo casually picked up the brush on the table and hit Lin Mengguang's sword with it, and the sword shattered.
"Your Majesty!" Lin Mengguang was about to cry out of grievance. Her sword...
"Don't cry. Don't you want the cold sword in my treasury? I'll give it to you and have someone make a few more for you."
Lin Mengguang was coaxed instantly, but he still looked at the envoy with an unfriendly look.
The envoy was so frightened that he didn’t want to die.
He knelt on the ground immediately and said, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. You misunderstood."
He was afraid that Lin Mengguang wanted to chop him again, so he immediately said, "It's not you who is going to marry, it's our king who is going to marry you."
As soon as the words fell, the whole place fell into silence.
Lin Mengguang was also a little confused. This blow seemed to be even greater than her misunderstanding that the eldest princess and His Majesty were going to marry.
Are you kidding me? The King of North Vietnam wants to marry me?
The envoy also felt that it was a bit outrageous, but the king was determined to do so.
At first, they thought that the empress was to come as a princess, and they were very supportive, until Xie Chengyao smiled and said, "My dear ministers, you have misunderstood. It is me who is going to Nanlin Kingdom to be the empress's husband."
So there were endless voices of opposition, but Xie Chengyao was determined and no one could change the King of Beiyue's mind.
No one in the court could persuade him, and the ministers said that it was a disgrace to the ancestral foundation and what a disgrace.
Xie Chengyao raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were extremely cold, "Those who tried to stop me are dead, are you going to go down and accompany them?"
The ministers in the court and the opposition were instantly silent.
