Chapter 1091: Chapter 1082: Full Authority

Swish.

A sharp dagger plunged directly into the chest of the Eldest Prince of Beimo.

The Eldest Prince of Beimo was speechless.

Wasn’t he just unable to go against his own imperial sister?

This time, even his father and mother supported him, which made him a bit more resolute.

The Eldest Prince of Beimo looked at them, as if he had found kindred spirits, "Is this your experience?"

"No," said Prince NanAn.

"None of us have legitimate sisters; this experience comes from seeing others."

"..."

Prince NanAn is an only child.

Of course, the status of this only child isn’t much, especially now that he has a son, even less so.

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion has two half-sisters; one is married, and the other is still young and not close to him, her big brother.

The half-sister of the Heir of Marquis Beining married nearby, just two streets away from the Beining Marquis Mansion, but after getting married for half a year, she went with her husband for an official post outside and hasn’t been seen for two years.

Chu Shun has no half-sisters, but a half-brother.

The feeling of holding a sister dearly in your palm, none of the four of them have experienced it.

But just because they haven’t experienced it themselves doesn’t mean they haven’t seen it.

Take Su Chong, for example, or Prince Yun, which elder brother could go against their sister?

This kind of breaking up a sister’s romance is undoubtedly digging one’s own grave.

The Eldest Prince of Beimo had an unhappy face, "In the end, aren’t you still pleading for Young Master Zhao?"

They had come all the way to Beimo just to plead for Brother Zhao, what else would they talk about?

The Eldest Prince of Beimo grew more envious of Zhao Xu having so many brothers. He said, "I also know my imperial sister truly likes Young Master Zhao, but with his current status, can Beimo marry my imperial sister to him?"

"Just set the engagement, and it won’t be too late for Brother Zhao to marry her once his major affairs are settled," Chu Shun said.

Currently, Zhao Xu is in a fierce battle with Nanliang, and it’s uncertain whether the bridal sedan from Beimo can even reach Zhao Xu.

Certainly, it wouldn’t do to have Princess Jing Mountain sneak to the Zhao family and have a perfunctory wedding, would it?

You definitely can’t do such a grievance-causing thing.

On this point, Prince NanAn and the others were firmly siding with Princess Jing Mountain.

Because of their good attitude, the Eldest Prince of Beimo’s resistance somewhat subsided. He said, "After the engagement, then what?"

"Let my imperial sister wait endlessly?"

"Who can guarantee Young Master Zhao won’t have a change of heart while waiting?"

"Even if he doesn’t, how many years do you intend my imperial sister to wait?"

Chu Shun poured wine for the Eldest Prince of Beimo and said, "We can vouch for Brother Zhao’s character; he is not someone who would easily change his heart."

"If he dares to change his heart and wrong Princess Jing Mountain, we would never forgive him."

On this point, Prince NanAn and the others were confident it wouldn’t happen.

As for how many years to wait...

This is not an issue at all.

Chu Shun looked at the Eldest Prince of Beimo and said, "Beimo Cheng King colluded with Nanliang, setting Beimo up. Although ultimately there was no loss, I’m sure Beimo will definitely seek an opportunity for payback."

"Now that General Shi from Nanliang has defected to Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao has wings like a tiger. When Nanliang can’t hold on, they will definitely force Beimo to send troops in return for past assistance."

"This is almost foreseeable. I believe Beimo will strike before Nanliang makes such a request to avoid ridicule."

"In such a situation, it’s hard to say if Nanliang can last half a year. The Eldest Prince should worry not about Princess Jing Mountain waiting long, but marrying too soon."

In short, except for the unresolved issue of Zhao Xu having beaten the Eldest Prince of Beimo twice, everything else was not difficult.

Regarding the matter of beatings, Prince NanAn and the others had discussed it.

If the Eldest Prince of Beimo held back from acting due to future relations with his brother-in-law, they could act on his behalf.

Two beatings or three or five, to what extent, it’s just a matter of saying a word.

With such a light tone, one would think they were talking about inviting someone out for a few meals.

The Eldest Prince of Beimo gave them a sideways glance, "Why do I feel like you guys eagerly want me to entrust this matter to you?"

Prince NanAn and the others exchanged glances.

Did they make it that obvious?

The Eldest Prince of Beimo swept his gaze across.

He was confident he wasn’t mistaken.

When they mentioned beatings, the four of them simultaneously sparkled their eyes.

The Prince NanAn lightly coughed and said, "It’s not like we especially want to; we’re just curious what it’s like to beat an emperor."

The Eldest Prince of Beimo, "....."

The guard, "....."

Although Zhao Xu isn’t one yet, they believe he will be sooner or later.

This unseemly thought was learned from Marquis Dongxiang.

Ever since they learned that Marquis Dongxiang had beaten the Emperor, their admiration was like the unending waters of the Heavenly River.

Of course.

Even if lent a few guts, they wouldn’t dare beat the current Emperor.

But they can beat those of Nanliang and Beimo, can’t they?

Not only can they, but who knows, perhaps after beating them, the Emperor might even reward them.

Ever since they heard Zhao Xu intended to raise an army against Nanliang, this thought arose and couldn’t be suppressed.

While they spoke, they kept looking at the Eldest Prince of Beimo, causing the prince to feel uneasy.

Although he wasn’t yet the Beimo Crown Prince, that position would surely be his.

If Princess Jing Mountain marries Zhao Xu, his position as a brother would grow more unassailable.

He is the next King of Beimo.

Beating him might actually feel quite satisfying.

The guard of the Eldest Prince of Beimo almost wanted to advise their master to leave early.

These people’s thoughts are too dangerous!

Of all people to beat, why go for an emperor!

Where on earth did Young Master Zhao find such brothers?

This is too tricky, isn’t it?!

The Eldest Prince of Beimo raised his hand to rub his forehead, and Prince NanAn and the others withdrew their gaze and continued drinking.

After a sip, Prince NanAn looked at the Eldest Prince of Beimo and said, "What demands does Beimo have for Brother Zhao? Feel free to state them."

"Brother Zhao has entrusted the entire matter of marrying Princess Jing Mountain to Brother Jingchen, and now the four of us are in charge."

"As long as Beimo nods in agreement, Brother Zhao would agree to any condition."

When it comes to proposing, Prince NanAn and they were genuinely sincere.

Sincere enough to lay all their cards on the table.

Prince NanAn’s face might as well have the words "make whatever outrageous demand you like" written all over it.

At this moment, the Eldest Prince of Beimo really doubted whether Prince NanAn and they were truly good brothers of Zhao Xu.

This looked more like they were siding with his imperial sister.

Prince NanAn and his companions took turns offering drinks to the Eldest Prince of Beimo, hoping he could help bring the couple together.

What could the Eldest Prince of Beimo do? Prince NanAn and they were sincerely being sincere to the utmost.

But regarding the marriage of Princess Jing Mountain, it was really beyond the authority of an imperial brother to consent, so the Eldest Prince of Beimo said, "Let me go back and consult the opinion of Father and Mother."

"My wife is pregnant, so it’s inconvenient for me to stay in Beimo for long; I hope Eldest Prince won’t keep us waiting," Chu Shun raised his cup and said.

The Eldest Prince of Beimo smiled, "I will give you an answer tomorrow."

"It’s rare for you all to come to my Beimo, come, taste the culinary delights of Beimo."
