Chapter 1606 - 1607: The betrothal gift is naturally to be given
The soundproof formation disappeared, and Ye Luo respectfully addressed the Emperor of Great Tang, but after speaking, he first walked over to Xiaoyao King.
Ye Luo’s actions carried a deeper meaning.
On the surface, it seemed like he was undermining the Emperor’s dignity, but in reality, he was protecting the Emperor.
At this moment, those who previously thought the Emperor’s actions were inappropriate, asking the Prince Consort for a bride price, suddenly realized that His Majesty was reminding Ye Luo, along with Xiaoyao King and the Chen Family’s Family Head!
In this instant, some who previously had prejudices against the Emperor felt a slight shame in their hearts. Ye Luo’s words reminded them of many things. The seemingly absurd actions and words of the Emperor of Great Tang actually carried a profound meaning!
The marriage of the three women together, though seemingly absurd, was actually a strategy of the Emperor of Great Tang. With this marriage alliance, the Emperor of Great Tang, the Chen Family, and the Royal Mansion of Xiaoyao King became indirect relatives! Naturally, the relationship became closer, and since the Chen Family is one of the Four Great Clans, they are formidable in military, commerce, research, and more.
Xiaoyao King, overseeing the logistical operations across the realm, has long been deeply rooted, with extensive connections in the court, especially among military generals. Even the brash generals who dare to challenge the Emperor greet Xiaoyao King with smiles!
With one royal marriage, the Emperor secured the backing of two powerful entities!
Moreover, Ye Luo was previously the Ninth Prince. Now, although he is a Prince of Martial Valor, he is also regarded by the Emperor as an adopted son!
Ye Luo is deeply loved by the people, and his iron-fisted methods make all the noble clans wary. Through Ye Luo, the Emperor indirectly gains the people’s support and the noble clans’ caution!
This strategy, where one move achieves two goals, was already set up by the Emperor under the guise of incompetence!
This is the Emperor of Great Tang; this is His Majesty’s intent!
