The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Chapter 175: Son-in-law of Yan State

Oh? The two asked curiously, "Is Fugui City really comparable to a fairyland?"

"Yes, mother. In that wealthy city, every family lives in a building and everyone has a job."

"Children and the elderly don't have to go out to work, so they have money to spend and food to eat."

"In Fugui City, whether it's flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, nothing has ever been seen in this world."

"Even the food, drink, and daily necessities are very different from those in Yan State."

After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and immediately, several guards carried in several large boxes from outside the hall.

Ji Xiang opened one of them and took out some snacks from it.

"Brother King, Mother, this is what Xiang'er brought back for you, please try it!"

After saying that, she opened the packaging of two bags of potato chips and handed them over.

Ji Kuan and Madam Yu looked at the snack packaging and asked in surprise, "Xiang'er, what is this?"

Ji Xiang smiled softly, took out two pieces and stuffed them into their mouths: "These are called potato chips, they are delicious, you try them."

After putting the potato chips in their mouths, the two of them started to chew them with a crunching sound.

"Girl! It's delicious! Mmmmm! Xiang'er, it's so delicious!"

So, the two of them praised the potato chips and couldn't help but take a few more pieces and put them in their mouths.

Ji Kuan said with a smile: "Sister, let me take a few bags away later. I want to give them to my concubines to try."

Ji Xiang grinned, "Brother King, why do you need a few bags? Just carry a few boxes away. Xiang'er brought several carts this time."

"Okay, okay! Xiang'er loves her brother the most. By the way, Xiang'er, does Fugui City export these things?"

"Export, export. Not only food, but also grains, oils, fruits, and vegetables!"

"Oh? Really? That's great! I'll order Zhao Yan to handle this matter tomorrow."

"This time, we in Dayan won't have to worry about having no food to eat, and the people won't go hungry!"

Ji Xiang said with a smile: "Mother, Big Brother King, Xiang'er also had a happy event, can you guess what it is?"

They both answered in unison: "No idea!"

Ji Xiang said boredly: "Oh, it's so boring, why are you so lazy, you don't want to use your brain at all."

"Well, I won't keep you in suspense. Xiang'er has found a son-in-law for you in Fugui City this time!"

"He is... He is the second son of Zixuan City Lord of Fugui City!"

Ji Kuan scratched his head and said, "Isn't the second son of City Lord Zixuan Gongzi Ri?"

Ji Xiang patted her eldest brother's shoulder and said, "Congratulations, you got the answer right!"

"Sister! I heard that Gongzi Ri already has a fiancée. Didn't he bring her here when he came to our Yan State?"

Madam Yu also quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, Master Ri already has a fiancée."

Ji Xiang rolled her eyes: "Brother, mother, who says that if you have a fiancée, you can't marry again? It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines."

Ji Kuan shook her head: "No, no, sister, you are the thirteenth princess of Dayan!"

"As a princess of Great Yan, marrying down is fine, but how can you become someone else's concubine? I don't agree!"

Madam Yao also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Xiang'er, we can't lose the face of the royal family!"

Ji Xiang laughed and said, "My dear brother, who said I want to be someone else's concubine?"

"When we were in Fugui City, Xiang'er had already been granted marriage by City Lord Zixuan, making her and Peng Ruo equal wives, with no distinction between high and low."

After hearing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, that's pretty good."

Ji Kuan thought about it for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Sister, if that's the case, then Gongzi Ri will soon be able to become our son-in-law!"

Ji Xiang smiled and nodded: "Yes, my king brother!"

Ji Kuan stood up suddenly, rubbing his hands excitedly and pacing back and forth in the room.

Sister! You have made a good marriage! In this way, Gongzi Ri will become the son-in-law of Yan State! "

"Let me see which country dares to bully us! Hahahaha..."

After saying this, Ji Kuanle danced with joy and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing for a long time, he asked Ji Xiang: "Sister, when do you plan to get married?"

Ji Xiang sighed and said, "Alas, my eldest mother-in-law said that we can't get married until Zi Ri turns twenty."

Ji Kuan waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just a year or so."

"I will choose an auspicious day to arrange your marriage. As soon as you reach the age of marriage, we will get married!"

At the court meeting the next day, Duke Jian of Yan announced the matter.

When the ministers heard that the Thirteenth Princess had been found and that the king had arranged for her to be married to Prince Ri, they were overjoyed.

Some ministers were already dissatisfied with Prince Ri's appointment as general, and now the king has done this again.

Someone immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, this cannot happen! The Thirteenth Princess has already been betrothed to the Chanyu of Shanrong."

"If the king goes back on his word and gives the princess to Prince Ri in marriage, Shanrong Chanyu will surely be furious when he learns of this."

"If this angers the Shanrong, I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to attack Dayan."

"If a war breaks out because of a woman, the people of Yan will suffer the pain of war again!"

When Duke Jian of Yan saw that it was Prime Minister Zizhi, he felt a little unhappy. Why do you always come out to oppose every decision I make?

He said with displeasure, "Prime Minister, you know that because of your bad advice, my sister refused the marriage proposal and ran away, and she almost died outside."

"If Young Master Ri hadn't rescued her, she would have died long ago!"

"Today, I have decided to annul the marriage between the Thirteenth Princess and the Shanrong Chanyu!"

"I will choose another son, Young Master Ri, as my consort. Seven days from now, I will hold an engagement banquet for the two of them in the palace. You can all attend then!"

The ministers were speechless and quietly returned to their classes.

That afternoon, Zi Ri received an imperial edict from Duke Jian of Yan, stating that an engagement banquet would be held for them in the palace seven days later.

Zi Ri and Peng Ruo were dumbfounded when they heard this. It seemed that they couldn't avoid this matter.

Zi Ri slapped himself and muttered to himself, "Why did I save her in the first place? Now I have brought myself into such a big trouble."

Peng Ruo lowered her head in silence, thinking. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and said, "Fuck brother!"

Zi Ri looked at her with a guilty look: "Ruo'er, it's all my fault!"

"If I hadn't rescued you back then, this wouldn't have happened!"

Peng Ruo shook his head: "Brother Ri, you can't be blamed entirely. It was my idea to take her in."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Ruo'er has made up his mind. Brother Ri will marry the princess as his co-wife!"

"This... Ruo'er, isn't this unfair to you?"

Peng Ruo wiped her tears and forced a smile: "It's okay, I've thought about it."

"We have no other options now, this is the only way to go."

"Brother Ri, let's do it this way. As long as Brother Ri treats Ruo'er well in the future, that's all that's fine!"
