However, he did not want to form an alliance with the Han family, which had been extending an olive branch to him. How could they form an alliance when they had different political views and could not communicate with each other
Yi Chongxuan nodded. He fully understood this logic and he didn't want his family to be in turmoil.
He was just asking for advice, and he was relieved when his father said he would not marry her, because Miss Han, who had once been considered pretty in his mind, was no longer pretty at all.
"Xuan'er, in my opinion, you should take some time to meet Miss Lin! It's not that Daddy has to force you to marry her. If you really don't like her, Daddy won't force you anymore."
In Yi's father's opinion, the rumors about his son and Miss Han were probably true, and his son was probably lying to him.
The relationship between the Han family's daughter and her son must be extraordinary, and it's not just a few chance encounters.
Otherwise, the girl from the Han family would not have done such an extreme thing.
Fortunately, her calculations and attempts to murder all ended in failure. Otherwise, her son might have really married that scheming woman back to the Yi family.
Fortunately, the girl from the Lin family is smart enough.
Bai Chen had no idea that he had already received the approval of his future father-in-law before he even got married.
Then, Yi's father said earnestly: "Before I arranged a marriage for you, I also asked someone to look for you. The girl from the Lin family is also a rare beauty. She is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she never shows off.
Although she lost her mother when she was young, she had always been raised by County Master Yan Ming.
She is well-educated, gentle and kind, and is no worse than the girls from the Han family in any way.
As a father, I have to say this: you can only marry one wife. You can take concubines as you like, but I think the eldest daughter of the Han family may not be willing to be a concubine."
After Yi's father finished speaking, he turned around and left angrily.
Yi Chongxuan curled the corner of his mouth without commenting. He thought that being well-educated, gentle and honest was just on the surface!
Who spread the rumors in the capital? Wasn't it her
If we talk about someone with deep scheming minds, maybe the girl from the Lin family and the girl from the Han family would not give in.
Or maybe the girl from the Lin family is even better, otherwise the girl from the Han family would not have lost so badly.
However, he did not dislike such scheming, because the future Hou Mansion would need a skilled and calculating mistress to manage it.
Of course, he also hoped that the mistress of the house was kind and could tolerate his concubines and the children born to them.
Yi Chongxuan lay down on the couch, rubbing his temples. His head was hurting more and more.
He had suffered many injuries on the battlefield in the past few years. Whenever it was windy or rainy, he always felt like being pricked by needles, and his headaches became more and more severe.
In the more than half a year since he returned from the battlefield, he has been suffering from injuries, and his life is not as good as it seems.
He didn't even tell his father about this.
He fought for the title of God of War with his life, and he also fought for the glory of the Wan family with his life.
Although it seems that the Yi family is in a very prosperous period now, nothing lasts forever. I cannot act on my own or be blindly arrogant.
My father has already worried a lot about the Wan family, and I can't make things difficult for him anymore.
Perhaps it is time to investigate the girl from the Lin family. Now that things have come to this point, it seems impossible to cancel the engagement. He must marry the girl from the Lin family, otherwise he might really confirm his reputation as a traitor.
Just when he was absorbed in his thoughts, a guard came to report, "My Lord, the Emperor invites you to the palace for a chat."
When Yi Chongxuan arrived beside the emperor, the old man indeed asked about that very thing.
"If you really like the girl from the Han family, I can grant you a marriage. Why did you make things like this?"
The emperor was already in his fifties, tall and majestic. He seemed very kind when he looked at Yi Chongxuan, but Yi Chongxuan still sensed a sense of blame in his words.
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no relationship with Miss Han. I am already engaged, and it is impossible for me to have an affair with another girl. I hope Your Majesty will investigate this clearly."
Yi Chongxuan quickly knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation.
"Oh! If that's the case, why did the Han family insist that you and Miss Han were already married? Duke Han even cried in front of me."
"this!"
Then, Yi Chongxuan simply told the emperor what happened after he returned to the capital.
“Your Majesty, I have already rejected her. I never expected that she would never give up. What happened later was all her crazy wishful thinking.
I am very scared of such a woman and dare not marry her.
What's more, I already have an engagement and am preparing for the wedding."
"Look at how capable you are! You're still afraid of a woman!" The emperor's beard twitched and his eyes became much kinder.
In his eyes, Yi Chongxuan was just a child. Having entered the military camp at a young age, he had never seen some women do such bloodless things in order to win favor or for their own interests.
“Back off!”
The emperor turned around and walked towards the inner hall. In his opinion, the hero he created was too successful, which is why he was targeted by certain families.
How could a little girl be so brave as to play tricks on the God of War like this
There must be someone behind this!
The emperor thought conspiratorially that there must be a force trying to bring down the hero he had created.
And the Han family is the backbone of that force.
The suspicious emperor didn't expect that this was really just a crazy thing a woman did because of her love for a man.
…
After dinner that day, Bai Chen sat in front of the piano and played a song that Lin Xuezhi liked very affectionately, and then he started to sing while playing.
A few days ago, she was inspired and wrote down the lyrics. She sang it softly a few times until she knew it by heart.
The moonlight is just right tonight, and singing to the moon has a special mood.
In her previous life, although her voice was a little hoarse, she actually loved singing very much. She would sing a song at any time to express her happy or depressed mood.
Even at the moment of his life ending, he was still singing happily.
The maids and old women who were performing their duties were attracted by the singing and became still.
It seemed as if they were all mesmerized by what they heard.
In the past, their girls would hum quietly and dare not sing out loud, but today the girls actually sang loudly.
It's really rare.
The girl's voice is so beautiful, it's lingering in the air, like the sound of nature.
Yi Chongxuan, who was preparing to meet his fiancée at this moment, did not follow the usual practice of going through the Lin family's main gate, but flew over.
For a martial arts master like him, it is too easy to understand a person.
In fact, in the past two days, he has sent several waves of secret guards to investigate.
The secret guards all said that his wife was extremely beautiful and advised him not to lose the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds.
The eldest daughter of the Lin family is not a boring person as rumored by the outside world.
The secret guards' words made him a little skeptical. He felt that even if the girl from the Lin family was not as bad as the outside world said, she could definitely not be as good as the secret guards described.
He felt that what he saw with his own eyes was more credible.
So he quietly flew to the Hou Mansion and then hid in the tree in front of the courtyard where Bai Chen lived.
As soon as I climbed up the tree, I heard a clear and pleasant sound of a piano echoing in the air, and an even more pleasant singing voice echoed within the sound of the piano.
When he heard the singing, Yi Chongxuan couldn't help but get drunk on the spot.
This singing voice seems to come from the boudoir of the eldest daughter of the Jin family. So is this beautiful singing voice sung by Miss Lin
Bai Chen, who was singing happily in the house, of course noticed the person in the tree. In the past few days, there have been uninvited guests coming here to investigate.
