Chapter 1409: Title

To Consort Liu De, being demoted and grounded was already a small matter for the current stage of the game.

This was because the blow she was about to face next was even more heartbreaking than being grounded.

Yuwen Longyan announced his punishment to Concubine Liu in public. Then, he said to Xiao Jingrui of the Black Cloud Nation," Second Prince, Princess Gu is not willing to marry far away, but I still have other princesses. Oh, any woman in my dynasty, as long as Second Prince likes her, I will marry her to Second Prince. What do you think?"

This meant that the princess of Guguo would never marry him. If he insisted on marrying a woman to be the empress, he could choose another princess or even the daughter of a noble or minister!

As soon as Yuwen Longyan's words fell, some of the princesses in the court frowned, some of their eyes lit up, and then they all looked at Xiao Jingrui with burning eyes.

The hint was obvious. They were willing to go through a marriage alliance and become his empress.

Listening to Yuwen Longyan's words, Xiao Jingrui only slightly frowned and resolutely refused," I fell in love with Princess Gu at first sight, so I asked His Majesty to marry Princess Gu! I disdain to marry other women and have no intention of marrying other women!"

He married Lin Yuelan because of her talent and the gold and iron ore maps in her hands!

As for the other women, even if they had the value of a marriage alliance, they had no other value. Using a title of an empress to exchange for a woman of no value was not the outcome he wanted!

Therefore, since he couldn't marry Lin Yuelan, he didn't need to care about other women or princesses.

Perhaps Yuwen Longyan had already expected such a result, but he was not embarrassed by Xiao Jingrui's rejection.

After all, Xiao Jingrui might be even more embarrassed than him! After all, he had been rejected by Lin Yuelan multiple times.

Yuwen Longyan immediately turned to the First Prince of Aduo Chai Kingdom, Henala Azhe, and asked," First Prince, I have a princess. Although she is not devastatingly beautiful, she is still pretty. I want to establish friendly relations with your country. Is it possible?"

The meaning of these words was very obvious. It was a marriage alliance with Aduo Chai Country!

Yuwen Longyan's words shocked not only the Aduo Chai Country's diplomatic corps but also the other countries' diplomatic corps!

They had never expected that the Emperor of the Longyan Kingdom would choose the Aduo Chai Kingdom, the barren and backward prairie country, instead of the Black Clouds Kingdom.

However, the Black Clouds Kingdom's diplomatic mission immediately became extremely furious!

Their second prince had personally asked the Emperor of the Longyan Kingdom to marry the princess of Guguo, but he had been rejected.

Forget about this matter, but what was going on when he turned around and married his princess to another country?

Provocation?

At this time, Xiao Jingrui's face was also unusually ugly!

Although the exchange meeting between countries was held once every three years, in fact, it was just to see if there was any intention of an alliance.

However, the Longyan Kingdom was the target of the Black Clouds Kingdom. If the Longyan Kingdom had an alliance with any other country, it would be a threat to the Black Clouds Kingdom.

The eldest prince of Aduo Chai didn't care about Xiao Jingrui's ugly face. When he heard that Yuwen Longyan intended to become a marriage alliance with them, his eyes lit up, and he said happily," Of course!"

This was a very beneficial thing for their country, so he naturally could not refuse.

Then, he asked curiously," May I know which princess Your Majesty is referring to?"

"It's my ninth princess, Yuwen Ling!" Yuwen Longyan said. "She is also my most beloved daughter!"
