Not long after Mo Xuetong returned home, Emperor Zongwen's decree came down.
Princess Anping was said to be quiet and virtuous, so she married Prince Xuan, the eighth son of the emperor, on a certain day.
The urgency of this decree was completely beyond Mo Huawen's expectation. Although he knew that Emperor Zongwen intended for Tong'er to marry Feng Jueran, and had secretly been angry with him, on the one hand, Mo Huawen had a crush on Feng Jueran. He was extremely biased. On the other hand, he also felt that since he had to wait for the filial piety, it was impossible to grant a marriage so early. However, he did not expect that the decree came like this, catching him off guard.
"Eunuch Liu, your Majesty, how long does it take to get married?" Mo Huawen couldn't help but asked the eunuch Liu Xi worriedly.
"The emperor's intention is of course that the sooner the better. Mr. Mo, you also know that His Highness Prince Xuan was injured and has not fully recovered yet. If there is a happy event, the injury may be healed immediately." Liu Xi smiled and respectfully handed the imperial edict to Mo Huawen.
Happy? The smile on Mo Huawen's lips became increasingly bitter.
As expected, I heard that His Highness Prince Xuan had been in a coma since he was injured and was in desperate need of someone to cheer him up. He was really unwilling to marry his beloved daughter to her.
Everyone knew that Prince Xuan was seriously injured and whether he could wake up was a question. If he really couldn't wake up, his daughter would be a widow.
"Eunuch Liu, my daughter is still observing filial piety for her mother. Do you think it's possible..." Mo Huawen asked cautiously with a smile on his face.
"No! Mr. Mo, I heard that your eldest daughter has only been married a few days ago. Besides, if His Highness Prince Xuan has any good intentions, who can afford to accompany him? The emperor is extremely worried." Liu Xi refused decisively with a straight face. , Emperor Zongwen had been having trouble sleeping and eating these past few days, but he could see it. If something happened to that one, the Qin State would probably be in chaos. Seeing Mo Huawen's eyes wrinkled, he was worried. A kind words of comfort to Mo Huawen.
"Lord Mo, don't worry. Princess Anping was born blessed. Her horoscope matches Prince Xuan very well. She is the image of a prosperous husband. The emperor had already asked Qin Tianjian to calculate that the two of them would be a match made in heaven."
The Qin Tian Supervisor had already done the calculations, so what else was asked of him. Mo Huawen was speechless and silently followed the imperial edict. He stood up from the ground and asked with a smile: "My father-in-law can give me some guidance on the matter."
"The King of Yan and the King of Chu will be getting married in one month. The Emperor has said that we don't need to worry about the second day. Let's just get together." Liu Xi said with a smile. This was the Emperor's request. He must request that the three princes be married on the same day. The marriage was all arranged, and according to the situation, when the emperor mentioned the marriage, His Highness Prince Xuan actually made some movements.
There is no guarantee that after this month, Prince Xuan will be able to get up.
Mo Huawen was not getting married right away, so Mo Huawen breathed a sigh of relief. After sending Liu Xi away, he sat alone in the study and thought, there is still a month left, if King Xuan can really get better, this marriage will not be in vain. It was a good marriage, except for Prince Xuan himself, who was a bit more romantic, but I had never heard of his bad habit of hitting women. Tong'er was of a dull temper and only needed to firmly occupy the position of the principal concubine.
With him and Duke Fu Guo here, I think His Royal Highness Prince Xuan would be a bit mean-spirited, so it would not be difficult for Tong'er.
If His Highness Prince Xuan dies within a month, the marriage will naturally be abandoned. Before the marriage is over, the emperor will not let Tong'er watch over the widowed family. Tong'er is still young, so he will be sent back to Yuncheng first. After a year or two, she will fade out of the sight of others and then find a wealthy family to marry.
There is no need to have high-ranking officials and generous salaries, as long as you are sincerely good to Tong'er. Also, with yourself here, no one can even think of bullying Tong'er.
Thinking of this, Mo Huawen's brows relaxed slightly. There is still at least one month of buffer time. Whether Prince Xuan can survive depends on whether his fate is high.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of You Yuecheng. You Yuecheng made it clear that he wanted to marry Tong'er and threatened her as Luo Xia. If he didn't get married but revealed the matter, the consequences would be terrible. It's not something he can afford. Royal battles have never been right or wrong.
He didn't want to ask what the situation was like back then. Now he just wanted to protect his young daughter.
You Yuecheng's cold and stern face came to mind. Such a person would definitely not be able to make him retreat with a simple word.
Think of a way to tell You Yuecheng clearly without making him angry and furious, and reveal the truth about that year! Mo Huawen was the elder of the two, but he felt that Tong'er's marriage was not going smoothly. He thought about it for a while, but even a dinner was useless. Later, Xu Yan came over and cooked two dishes himself. , just eat a little bit.
After I pushed it away, I became troubled again.
"Master, you are here for Tong'er's marriage," Xu Yan said gently. Mo Xuetong had gone to her place just now. She already knew something about You Yuecheng. Today, the imperial edict came down to let Tong'er After marrying Prince Xuan, the master was so worried that she thought Mo Huawen was embarrassed to speak to the Duke of Ming Dynasty.
"If the master is because of the matter of the Duke of Ming, there is no need to worry. Don't worry, even if the master agrees now, it is impossible for the Duke of Ming to marry Tong'er." Xu Yan covered his lips and smiled.
"You Yuecheng vowed to marry Tong'er. Isn't it true?" Mo Huawen asked puzzledly after hearing this. Of course, he would not say what You Yuecheng threatened him. He would only say that You Yuecheng was against Tong'er. My love for my son is as deep as the ocean, and I won't marry him unless she is the one, so I am embarrassed to say no.
"I haven't been out all day today. I'm afraid it's because I don't know what's going on with the Duke of Ming Dynasty." Xu Yan pursed his lips and smiled, secretly praising Mo Xuetong for being really smart. He knew that Mo Huawen couldn't even eat because of this annoying person, so I specifically asked myself to deliver the message.
Xu Yan was somewhat different from Mo Huawen. Although she and Mo Xuetong got along well, she also wanted her to marry a high-ranking aristocrat so that she could at least be reliable for her children in the future. At this time, she listened to the news and naturally came to help Mo. Xuetong handed over the words.
"Is there anything else that could happen when I go to the Peony Garden today?" Mo Huawen's heart skipped a beat and he frowned and asked. He remembered that he asked Tong'er to dress up and go out today just to let them meet in private. If Tong'er My son also likes You Yuecheng, so if the matter is settled, he will send his birthday party in two days.
Unexpectedly, Tong'er had just returned home, and the emperor's decree was issued. Not only did Tong'er marry Prince Xuan Chongxi, but it also had to be completed in about January. The previous private agreement between him and You Yuecheng was considered complete. It was a waste. Could it be that You Yuecheng listened to the training in the peony garden and did something.
"Sir, do you know that the eldest lady of Duke Ding's palace likes the eldest son of Duke Ming's palace?" Xu Yan chuckled and covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
This matter is really not a shameful thing, especially since Ling Mingyan, who was involved in the robbery, was the eldest daughter of Dingguo Gongfu. She had been following a man all day long. Dingguo Gongfu was known as the descendant of the family, and the girl who came out Miss, on the surface she looks as gentle as jade, but somehow Ling Mingyan is an outlier.
Not only did he dare to chase You Yuecheng, but he also ran away for so many years, and he was so surprised that he also worried about his own marriage.
What happened today was a coincidence. Two young ladies were whispering under the peonies, talking about their admiration for You Yuecheng. Unexpectedly, these words were heard by Ling Mingyan who was passing by. She immediately became jealous and went up. So he slapped her twice. The young lady's family was a military officer and she had a very bad temper.
How could I bear it when someone rushed out so indifferently and slapped her twice in the face, and bitten a little whore again, so she started fighting with Ling Mingyan on the spot. The two of them tore their clothes into a mess, and even the maids couldn't tell them apart. open.
Then You Yuecheng came forward to stop the fight. A few people pushed and pushed Ling Mingyan into the lake on the other side. Ling Mingyan was not the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo, so she was really going to be under You Yuecheng's nose. If something happened, the two houses couldn't get into trouble, so You Yuecheng had no choice but to go into the river to fish her out.
I don’t know whether Ling Meili’s clothes were loose during a fight or whether she was struggling in the water and her clothes came apart. Anyway, when she finally rescued You Yuecheng from the river, most of her clothes fell off. , revealing the brocade red bellyband underneath, and You Yuecheng's hands were still pressing on her chest...
After something like this happened, the Duke of Ming Dynasty couldn't even say anything back. In full view of everyone, You Yuecheng and Ling Mingyan were hugging each other in disheveled clothes. They were already like this. How could they not get married and go home? So this At that time, the two families were discussing the matter of getting married, and You Yuecheng's own admiration was nothing compared to the reputation of the two princes.

"So, sir, don't worry. The Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty will never come to ask for Tong'er's hand in marriage again." Xu Yan imagined the scene at that time and smiled a bit messily. Just now, when Mo Xuetong described it to her vividly, he had also sighed at Ling'er. Mingyan finally managed to keep the clouds clear and see the sunrise.
Now that I think about it, it’s not like that.
Duke Dingguo's mansion had been waiting for this belated marriage for more than a day or two.
But some people's plans are destined to be disrupted, and this night will be another sleepless night.
Prince Yan's Mansion
"Your Highness, please explain the situation to the Queen. Ling Mingyan tore the clothes herself." You Yuecheng's cheeks twitched and he gritted his teeth. He never thought that Ling Mingyan, a brainless woman, would frame him, and he I just got fooled.
"Yuecheng, this is the end of the matter..." King Yan Fenglei was also in a dilemma. He must not be the Queen's biological son. Some words could only be understood a little bit. The Queen had previously agreed to let You Yuecheng marry Princess Anping to increase her wealth. With such strength, if something like this happens now, if she doesn't marry Ling Mingyan, the entire Duke's palace will be embarrassed, and the Queen's face will be equally tarnished.
"I just don't want to marry this woman." You Yuecheng said coldly. If he hadn't been warned by his status as a son of a noble family not to scold women, he would have lost control now. He never thought that Ling Mingyan could plot against him. Said, he gritted his teeth in hatred that even that stupid woman could plot against him.
"Miss Ling is certainly not a good match, but with Duke Dingguo's support as your backing, Yuecheng, your career will only be brighter in the future." Feng Juelei advised, why would he want You Yuecheng to marry Ling Mingyan? Although the eldest lady in the Duke's Mansion is good-looking, she is of no use at all. A good political marriage was ruined by this silly woman. It's strange that King Yan is in a good mood.
But no matter what, he and the Queen are on the same side. Now that the Queen has this intention, there is no point in him trying to hold the Queen back. The overall situation is still undecided. He has to rely on the Queen and Dingguo Duke's government to work hard. How can he really get rid of them? The embarrassment really made the queen angry, and he had nothing to eat. Thinking that the queen still had to support her, it was all because of this woman Ling Mingyan, and King Yan felt a little uneasy.
You Yuecheng also understood this. It was just a feeling of resentment that made him want to explode on the spot. He turned around in circles with a sullen face, as if he was about to explode, but in the end he had to endure it. He gritted his teeth and sneered with his white teeth exposed: " Since the plan didn't work out, I don't feel comfortable at all. It's hard for me and she can't even think about it."
Feng Juelei was stunned and looked at You Yuecheng without knowing why. Suddenly a guard ran in. After bowing to Feng Juelei, he said to You Yuecheng: "Your Majesty, someone from the house will take you back. Tell me about your There was a leak in the study, and everything in it was burned down. Please go back and take inventory."
"What did you say?" You Yuecheng's face was ugly, and his eyes were more frightening than ever before. He didn't even bother to say goodbye to Feng Juelei, and walked out angrily. (To be continued)
