Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Beitang You and Zhang Yu showed no signs of surprise as they watched both of them walk away.
Yuan Zheng, however, was astonished.
He had no idea that Minister Lin, who had such a domineering presence about him, was so good-natured in front of his wife, and he even allowed Madam Lin to order him around.
Although…
Long Junzhi?
Minister Lin’s na was Long Junzhi?
His surna was Long?
That na sounded a little familiar.
Yuan Zheng thought hard about this and finally realized where he had heard the na before. He stood where he was, stunned.
“He…he’s actually Long Yang, the Emperor of Great Shang?”
With those words, he turned to look at Beitang You, as if expecting to find out the truth from him.
“Yes, he is the Emperor of Great Shang,” Beitang You replied in a low voice.
Yuan Zheng was shocked.
It was no wonder he had a feeling that Minister Lin was an extraordinary character—he was the ruler of Great Shang.
No wonder!
Yuan Zheng tried to process the information.
He had received intel that Long Yang had left for neighboring Danjue’s frontier to reward the soldiers. Why would he be in the Kingdom of Yan?
Soon, he figured out the answer.
Long Yang must be here for his beauty.
“So, Madam Lin would be…”
“Big Sis is the Empress of Great Shang.” Beitang You made no attempt to hide it.
Beitang You now held absolute power in the kingdom, and even if soone found out about the identity of those two, it would be fine because he could help them leave the Yan Kingdom safely.
Yuan Zheng looked at Beitang You in astonishnt. He did not expect the boy to have such a close relationship with the Empress of Great Shang.
Yuan Zheng gave this so thought and said with so relief in his tone, “It’s the great fortune of the Yan Kingdom for Your Majesty to maintain such a close relationship with Great Shang.”
Beitang You might be young, but he understood Yuan Zheng’s words.
“Don’t worry, Pri Minister. Big Sis treats very well. If it weren’t for that, Great Shang’s Emperor would not have given a helping hand. The relationship between the Yan Kingdom and Great Shang will surely last for a long ti.”
Yuan Zheng nodded with a smile. However, another thought made him concerned again. “Looking at the world right now, Great Shang is quite powerful. As Your Majesty is still young and your wings have not fully grown, it would be highly beneficial for the Yan Kingdom to stay under the protection of Great Shang. There shouldn’t be a problem with this since you are on good terms with the Empress of Great Shang, but as ti passes, your relationship might beco distant. If we want to continue the good relationship with Great Shang, the best way is through a united marriage.”
Beitang You understood the first half of his speech, but the second half…
He looked at Yuan Zheng with a confused look on his face. “United marriage?”
Beitang You had not caught the aning of the words, but Zhang Yu understood and knew what Yuan Zheng was planning. Zhang Yu’s lips twitched and he blurted, “His Majesty is still a young boy and the princess of Great Shang is only three months old.”
His words made Beitang You realize what Yuan Zheng had ant. Beitang You’s eyes widened as he looked at Yuan Zheng. “Do you an for to marry Princess Yaoyao, Pri Minister?”
Yuan Zheng brushed his beard with a hand and said with a chuckle, “It’s just a thought that crossed my mind, which was why I ntioned this. Pay it no mind, Your Majesty.”
Nevertheless, he sincerely felt that having a united marriage between the two countries would help tighten their relationship.
If the Emperor of Great Shang loved his Empress that much, it was easy to imagine how much they cherished their little princess. If His Majesty could marry Great Shang’s princess, it would cent the relationship between both countries. This would only prove beneficial for the Yan Kingdom.
However, Zhang Yu was right. His Majesty was only ten this year and the princess of Great Shang was only three-months-old.
His suggestion was a little too early at this point. He would need to wait for Great Shang’s princess to be a little older before ntioning this again.
That was why he had hastily smoothened this over with a laugh.
However, he had no idea that Beitang You had already taken his words to heart.
