However, now he is destroying his own future for a stupid woman. How can she not be sad and angry
Seeing that she was so angry, Xi Muyan hurriedly poured her a cup of tea: "Mother, I know I was wrong. Mother, please calm down. Be careful not to get angry and hurt yourself."
Seeing his sincere attitude, the anger in Consort Yun's heart subsided a little: "From today on, you stay away from that crazy woman Su Yuxin and coax that girl Su Qiao."
Xi Muyan frowned slightly, and the resistance in his eyes was obvious: "Mother, are you really going to let me marry this cripple?"
Imperial Concubine Yun took a sip of tea, slowly put down the cup, and glared at him unhappily: "Humph, if you don't want to marry her, there are plenty of people who want to marry her."
"Even if you want to marry her now, you may not be able to marry her."
"Mother, what do you mean by this?"
Because of what happened before, Xi Muyan was unable to attend today's banquet, and later he took his men into the woods.
Firstly, he wanted to relieve his anger, and secondly, he wanted to see if there was a white fox and catch one for Su Yuxin as a pet.
After coming back, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before his mother called him into the tent, so he had no idea what happened at the banquet.
Noble Concubine Yun's anger, which had just subsided, rose again.
"What on earth are you doing every day? Such a big thing happened at the banquet, and you still don't know about it? Don't you know to send someone to keep an eye on it when the people are not here?"
"I always thought I had taught you very well, but I didn't expect that you would focus all your attention on a stupid woman. You... you really disappoint me."
Ximuyan knew that she was in the wrong, so she didn't argue, "Mother, is there anyone else who wants to marry her besides my son?"
A cripple, even if she is good-looking and has a decent social status, how could anyone want to marry her
Could it be that some ordinary official wanted to get promoted overnight by marrying her
But that's not right. Many people in the capital know about his marriage with Su Qiao, and ordinary people don't dare to think about it.
Royal Concubine Yun was so angry when she saw her son who was still at a loss for words, that she felt even more disgusted with that woman Su Yuxin.
"Humph, not only has the crown prince set his sights on her, but even the two largest tribal leaders outside the Great Wall have openly pleaded with the emperor to marry her to their heir. One even proposed to marry her for life, and the other proposed to pay 30% more war horses every year in exchange."
"Thirty percent war horses?" Ximuyan was shocked.
Thirty percent of war horses is not a small number.
And it was a war horse, not an ordinary horse.
Apart from his good-looking face, the cripple is cowardly, lifeless and has no opinion of his own. Why is he worth fighting for
"Mother, is this true?"
It’s not that Ximuyan didn’t believe it, but that he didn’t dare to believe it.
"Do you think I would lie to you?"
Imperial Concubine Yun glanced at him and said, "Now you know how popular she is, right?"
Xi Muyan frowned, something must have happened that he didn't know about.
"Did the emperor agree?"
Imperial Concubine Yun took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Your father is not a fool."
"Since they were so eager to marry Su Qiao, there must be something special about her. Plus, the Crown Prince was strongly against it, so your father refused."
Xi Muyan suddenly had an idea: "If my son marries her, wouldn't it be possible for him to indirectly win over the two largest tribes outside the Great Wall?"
