Chapter 191 The So-Called Face of a Great Power
"That play..."

Before the habitual words could even escape his lips, he felt a gaze filled with coldness.

Du Ziteng: ...

"Okay, okay, she's not an actress, is she?"

Du Ziteng: (/"≡_≡)=
Look at how fiercely he protects his wife!

She's not even married yet!
Only he can speak about his feelings; no one else can, right?

He would never believe it if you told him there was nothing between them.

"In short, I won't go into details, but I agree to the marriage."

It will only benefit you and cause no harm. Carefully weigh the pros and cons.

Du Ziteng stood up, raised his groping hand, and was about to pat the man's shoulder.

He was so frightened by those eyes that held a chilling coldness that he withdrew his hand.

He gazed at the man's handsome face, which revealed no expression, and sighed.

"At worst, you can marry the princess from the neighboring country first."

"Once we're in the manor, we can marry that Miss Xi Lu, and enjoy the beauty of two women at once! Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"roll."

A single word escaped from her thin lips.

The man's eyes were lowered, revealing no emotion; only his pale fingertips held the delicate teacup.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave, I'll leave."

Du Ziteng, holding a fan in his hand, walked towards the gate.

Just as he was about to step out the door, he abruptly pulled his foot back.

"Sir, I'm not trying to be mean, but those old foxes will definitely come to pressure you tomorrow. You should make a decision as soon as possible."

After saying that, he slipped away as fast as he could, as if his feet were oiled.

Bo Yeyuan: ...

The man's bony fingers reached into the hidden pocket of his wide-sleeved robe.

He pulled out a carefully packaged small wooden box from inside.

The wooden box contained the very piece of mutton-fat jade with the inscription that had been there all along.

Her deep, peach-blossom eyes gazed at the jade pendant in her hand, her fingertips gently rubbing the characters on it, the movement so practiced it seemed she had done it countless times.

In particular, the lettering 'LY' on the back of the jade pendant has been worn away to the point of being barely visible.

It was clearly caused by the force of an external object. 'Time is peaceful, and I am with you.'

Time flows gently, but I will stay with you through it all.

When the splendor fades, I'll grow old with you.

In this life, I only wish to be with you, to grow old together, and to remain faithful until death do us part.

His thin, cool lips spoke slowly and deliberately, as if they held endless tenderness within them.

Each word was carefully considered and pondered over for a long time.

The next day.

Inside the magnificent, golden hall.

"Recently, a neighboring country has expressed interest in establishing good relations with our country."

Therefore, envoys have been dispatched. What do you, my esteemed ministers, think?

Sikong Dui looked at the civil and military officials below with a smile.

He sat on the dragon throne, a symbol of supreme power, dressed in a bright yellow robe.

The surrounding environment was decorated with extravagance and waste everywhere.

"Our country is a great nation and a land of etiquette, and has always treated others with courtesy."

Now that our neighbor is willing to exchange fifteen cities, why not do something that promotes mutual benefit and is in our common interest?

"Yes, and besides, this also brings many benefits to Prince Bo."

I've heard that the princess from the neighboring country, though somewhat arrogant and domineering, is also quite charming and knows how to behave appropriately.

“Your Highness, you cannot disregard everyone’s lives for your own selfish reasons.”

As soon as Sikong Dui finished speaking, many ministers stood up and began to righteously criticize him.

For a moment, the scene descended into chaos.

"Ah."

A clear, cold laugh, tingling with a tingling sensation, echoed in the main hall.

The noisy hall immediately fell silent.

"I never knew that the Northern Sheng Kingdom was so weak that it needed to rely on marriage alliances to maintain its so-called great power image."
