Chapter 253 This Prince is Not Simple
Chapter 253 This Prince is Not Simple
The matter of marriage naturally needed to be discussed slowly, so Bi Heng pulled Chang Ningchen and Tian Yuye together to form a small group in the study.
Chang Ningchen also pulled his family member Dongfang He in. After attending the dinner that gave him a headache and drinking mare's milk liquor, he felt very uncomfortable and nestled in Dongfang He's arms.
Tian Yuye was quite satisfied with this marriage. Moker was just marrying in instead of letting Bi Chen marry out. After all, his health was so poor that he couldn't even leave the city.
As long as Bi Chen marries Prince Moker into the palace, the marriage will be completed, the two countries will become friends, and he will also get fifty Ferghana horses, which is not a loss at all!
Tian Yuye said to Bi Chen, "King Cheng can marry Prince Moker into his palace and provide him with good food and drink. You won't lose out!"
Chang Ningchen looked at Bi Heng and said, "Why don't you marry Prince Moker? It would be nice to have a monkey in the harem anyway."
Bi Heng knew that Bi Chen was unwilling, so he said to Chang Ningchen: "But Prince Moker only likes you, and the position of Achen's princess is vacant. Giving it to him is just a title for the outside world."
Chang Ningchen shook his head and said, "I want to give this position to Fourteen."
Bi Heng and Tian Yuye looked at Dongfang He. They thought that this secret guard must be very capable and had coaxed Bi Chen into being completely devoted to him.
Dongfang He felt that it was okay for him to not have a title, so he said: "Your Highness, King Cheng, do not worry about me. The title of making peace between the two countries is empty. I will always stay by your side."
Chang Ningchen felt very disappointed when he saw that his lover did not stand on his side, so he left the group and chatted privately with Moker.
Looking at Prince Moker, who was smiling like a big dog, Chang Ningchen said, "This prince doesn't like you."
Moker nodded and said, “For the sake of friendship between the two countries, it doesn’t matter whether His Highness likes it or not.
Oh my god! Is this the only way this guy can control him? He's not as dumb as he looks! Chang Ningchen asked, "Doesn't the prince have to go back outside the Great Wall to lead the tribe?"
Moker smiled and said, "My father's throne was inherited by my uncle. I have no status, so I came here to marry."
Chang Ningchen looked at Moker and said, "Then I will help the prince to regain the throne. Can't you go back to the border?"
Moker shook his head and said, "But this prince fell in love with you, Your Highness, King Cheng, at first sight!"
"..."
This guy doesn't make any sense! Chang Ningchen was originally feeling sad because a certain girl was dragged away to marry a foreign prince, but now he feels sad because he himself is being forced to marry a foreign prince. So, don't eat melons carelessly, or you'll become a melon yourself!
For the sake of friendly relations between the two countries, Chang Ningchen also agreed, but he made three rules with the prince. In the palace, Dongfang He was the princess and he was just a concubine. Moker nodded happily.
Then after the wedding, Chang Ningchen observed that the prince was not as honest as he appeared, but a very sophisticated and studious man.
They had never shared a room together. Sometimes when they met, Moker would hold a book in his hand, either asking him questions or wanting to go to the palace's school to study or to the library to read.
Because of his poor health, Chang Ningchen rested in his dormitory, leaving the backyard to Moker. The two lived under the same roof and treated each other with respect. Chang Ningchen often saw Moker studying in the school, and his lustful look had now turned into a studious look.
Moker stayed in the school all day attending classes, and had no hostility towards his competitor Fourteen. He liked reading and sometimes went to restaurants to drink, but he would come back when the time came.
Dongfang He looked at this person and felt that Moker was definitely not a man who intended to join the school fight. He looked like he might have come to China for further studies, but was just studying abroad legally in disguise through the marriage channel.
Because apart from liking to study, Moker did not have any negative influence on Chang Ningchen and the others, so everyone lived together politely.
Ten years later, the Liao tribe where Moker originally belonged was eaten away by the neighboring tribe, and Moker's uncle also died in the battle. The other princes and their cavalry were unable to resist. At this critical moment, they thought of Prince Moker who had married into the Celestial Empire many years ago.
So the Liao people sent someone to contact Moker. Knowing that the time was ripe, Moker and Chang Ningchen wrote a peace agreement and a divorce agreement and left overnight.
After returning to the outside of the Great Wall, Moker used the military tactics he had learned over the years to command the cavalry to merge the surrounding tribes and hunt them down. Within a few years, he developed the Liao tribe into the largest tribe outside the Great Wall.
Chang Ningchen also paid attention to Moker's movements. After all, he was still the princess of Chengwang before the divorce agreement was made public.
Dongfang He warmed Chang Ningchen's hands and said, "That guy has learned a lot over the years, and his learning ability is also very good. He took a lot of books with him when he left."
Chang Ningchen felt that it must have been his plan that Moker wanted to marry him off. This way, no one would have to worry about his identity, and since he was marrying into the Cheng Palace, the palace would definitely be keeping an eye on him.
But precisely because it is Prince Cheng's Mansion, the schools and books are the best, and he is also a princess who likes to study and does not like to go out and play. These literary resources must be the best. Coupled with his own efforts, he really came here to study in seclusion!
Chang Ningchen suddenly felt that people who love to study must be good. While eating the roasted oranges that Dongfang He fed him, he said, "Don't be fooled by Moker's rough appearance. He is very delicate and scheming inside!"
Dongfang He nodded and said, "Indeed, I heard that before every fight he would yell, 'My husband is the King of the Celestial Empire!' He's really good at taking advantage!"
"puff!"
Chang Ningchen suddenly felt that this man was truly a shrewd person. If he led the foreign tribe to become powerful, wouldn't it be like letting a tiger return to the mountain?!
Dongfang He saw Chang Ningchen's worry and immediately comforted him, saying, "He wrote a peace agreement before he left. He knew you would be worried that he would counterattack the Celestial Empire, so he used this as his own amulet."
Chang Ningchen carefully read the peace agreement written by Moker. It mentioned trade and marriage in border cities. It seemed that he had already realized that killing and robbing alone would not last long.
Moker saw a way to integrate the nations. It must be said that this man is broad-minded and far-sighted. He will definitely be a heroic figure in the future!
Looking back at himself and Dongfang He, who looked like two lovers, he said somewhat depressedly, "I feel like we are a bit inferior compared to Moker."
Dongfang He hugged Chang Ningchen and said, "Everyone has a different way of living. Some people are exhausted just by living a good life. I think Achen is not bad."
Over the years, he has managed to restore Chang Ningchen's health to almost normal. He has racked his brains to make Chang Ningchen live a good life. This is a medical miracle in any dynasty!
