Chapter 201 Asking for Marriage

Koda sent his men to deliver many gifts to Shen Tang, including exquisite jewelry, gems, and rare spices from Beidi.

But without exception they were all sent back.

"Prince, the Marquis of Ning'an said that no reward should be given without merit. She cannot accept such a generous gift from you."

"You are such a loser! You can't even get into the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion. What use do I have to you?

It's really shameful that I have to personally take action!"

So, there was a scene where Prince Koda was turned away by Shen Tang.

Thinking of what Longmu had said to him, Koda suppressed his anger and said with a patient smile:

"Since Ning'an Hou is not available, I will come to visit you another day."

Having said that, he led his men away from the gate of Ning'an Marquis Mansion.

"How is it? Has the person left?"

Shen Tang asked Lu Zhu.

Green Bamboo nodded.

During this period, no one knew what was going on with Koda, as he sent people to the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion to deliver gifts every day.

It would have been fine if they had just given gifts, but they even started to publicize it, fearing that people around them wouldn't know.

Those in the court who had just changed their opinion of Shen Tang are now waiting and watching.

Everyone was worried that Shen Tang might accept Koda's gift and change his tone.

Koda returned to the post station with dissatisfaction and vented his dissatisfaction with Longmu.

"Marquis Ning'an is the only female marquis in Da Qi, so it's natural for her to be a little arrogant.

But how can a woman not marry? Since these vulgar things can't impress her, why not try another way, prince? "

Koda looked at Longmu suspiciously, feeling puzzled.

If the Beidi royal family has one advantage, it must be their handsomeness.

After all, the ones picked are all top beauties, and the ones who come down are naturally handsome men.

After realizing what Longmu meant, Prince Koda pointed at him:

"You actually want this prince to face Shen Tang——"

Koda didn't say the rest.

He is the most beloved son of the King of Beidi!

But Longmu defeated Koda with just one sentence.

"Prince, you are not bowing to Shen Tang. You are using Shen Tang to control the royal court and for that supreme power."

These words were indeed successful in enlightening me.

After being rejected, Prince Koda became more and more courageous and positive.

He even asked his men to put things directly at the door without waiting for the other party to respond.

Rumors began to circulate in the court and among the people that Prince Koda was attracted to Shen Tang.

And after Shen Tang started accepting gifts from Koda, the situation became increasingly serious.

"The Emperor truly values ​​our Marquis. Today, Prince Keda sent us a set of pearl headpieces and a coral bracelet from Baohua Tower... They've all been registered."

Shen Tang nodded.

In the past few days, she couldn't figure out the thoughts of the Prince of Beidi, so she reported the matter to Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing sent someone to tell her that since someone gave her a gift openly, she should accept it well and use it as a way to fill her own coffers.

Shen Tang felt that Emperor Jing was a good boss.

After more than ten days, the grand court meeting finally arrived.

The Beidi delegation has been in Da Qi for about a month, and Da Qi must give Beidi an accurate reply.

Prince Beidi and Longmu stood in the center of the front of the court.

"Your Majesty, I have good news to share with you."

Long Mu spoke with a smile on his face.

Emperor Jing was intrigued by this, and the court officials were also curious.

The sun comes out in the west?

This Beidi told their Da Qi that there was good news.

"We, Beidi, are willing to sign a 100-year ceasefire agreement with Daqi. We do not need Daqi to provide Beidi with supplies. We only hope that His Majesty Daqi can agree to one thing."

Long Mu's words made the court officials look at him sideways, and even Shen Tang was a little surprised.

Could it be that the Northern Di people knew about his plan?

Shen Tang glanced at some court officials, all of whom had discussed matters with him at the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion that day. They also had confusion in their eyes.

"I wonder what the messenger is talking about?"

Longmu glanced at Koda beside him, only to see Koda step forward respectfully and say loudly:

"Your Majesty, it's the little prince who has fallen in love with the Marquis of Ning'an!

I also ask His Majesty the Great Qi to agree to marry Ning An Hou to me as my prince consort."

The entire hall fell into an unprecedented silence, which was a bit eerie.

The ministers looked at Prince Beidi and Shen Tang in surprise.

It turns out that the rumors are true, Prince Beidi really likes Marquis Ning'an!

Even Emperor Jing was surprised.

Earlier, Shen Tang sent someone to deliver a memorial saying that the prince of Beidi had sent her a gift. He thought that the Beidi people were just trying to be roundabout and hoped that Shen Tang would withdraw his tough attitude, but he didn't expect that this was their idea.

"Beidi and Daqi have had precedents of marriage since ancient times, but the one Beidi is seeking to marry is not a royal princess, but the Marquis of Ning'an.

At the welcoming banquet, the prince fell in love with Ning'an Hou at first sight, and hoped that the Emperor of Da Qi would agree and fulfill his request.

Beidi is willing to form a century-long friendship with Daqi!"

Koda's voice was still ringing in the hall, completely unaware of Shen Tang's cold eyes.

She asked why the Northern Di people started giving her gifts.

It turns out that the weasel is paying a New Year's visit to the chicken, and has no good intentions.

When several ministers heard this, they became anxious.

The Northern Di people's plan was about to explode in their eyes.

I originally thought you were just a little greedy, but I didn't expect you to be so bold!

He actually wanted to take Shen Tang away!

That’s too bad. We must attack back.

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this kind of marriage has always been qualified only for princesses of the royal family. Ning Anhou is only a marquis now, what qualifications does he have for marriage?"

I'm sorry, Marquis Ning'an, you should know that this is not what I meant.

"Let's not talk about whether Ning'an Marquis is qualified or not. As for this important matter of marriage, I believe that we should consult Ning'an Marquis himself on his opinion."

Someone hit the nail on the head.

The court officials secretly looked at Shen Tang and found that Shen Tang's face was extremely gloomy.

"Shen Aiqing, what do you think?"

Emperor Jing looked at his ministers who were talking at once, and felt a little amused. He asked Shen Tang with a smile.

“Your Majesty, I am grateful that Prince Koda has shown me respect, but Shen Tang is unwilling.

Besides, Shen Tang has no thoughts about men and women, so I’m afraid the prince will be disappointed.”

Koda and others were not surprised. They had expected Shen Tang to refuse.

"Is Marquis Ning'an unwilling to sacrifice himself in exchange for a hundred years of peace in Da Qi?"

Prince Koda looked at Shen Tang and curled his lips.

"If peace in Da Qi can be achieved by relying on a woman like me, then what is the point of Da Qi defending the border for so many years? Your Majesty, Da Qi is a powerful nation. If we can defeat the Northern Di once, we can certainly defeat them a second time.

If the Northern Di want to sue for peace, I think it would be better for them to pay tribute."

Shen Tang was determined. He looked at Emperor Jing at the top of the table, then turned his gaze to Koda. The disgust in his eyes was self-evident.

Finally, he looked away and met several court officials, then lowered his eyes without any expression.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

Someone step forward.
