Emperor Xi and Empress Xiao went to the queen's felt tent, and Concubine Xu Gui could only return to her own residence.
After a while, the second prince arrived.
Concubine Xu Gui had not taken off her hairpin ring, but was pacing back and forth in the tent anxiously.
"You're also very impulsive, don't you see that your father does not want you to marry the granddaughter of Duke Zhen Guogong. This is a test, if you agree, it's a beautiful thing, if it's too much of a hindrance, that's all. Why don't you speak again, lose your dignity and make your father angry."
The second prince stood aside, Jun's face was gloomy, and he did not speak.
He didn't know what he was thinking at the time, but his mind became hot for a while, and he opened his mouth again. Thinking of the woman who was flying freely, his eyes darkened
dark.
Concubine Xu Gui knew that her son had always been arrogant and arrogant, and now she has lost face over and over again because of major events. She was afraid that she would not be able to think about it at the moment, so she comforted her: "Forget it, it's okay to make trouble like this, Ben. Gong was also confused for a while at the beginning, and he agreed to this matter without sending someone to inquire about the character of the girl from the Yan family. Now it seems that the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhen is really an anomaly, and a woman who behaves like this is naturally not worthy of my son. It’s better to choose someone else. Such a woman should be left to the timid and useless coward of the Fourth Prince, but it’s a pity that there is an opportunity to win over Duke Zhen.”
is not that right
It was a good plan, and Concubine Xu Gui and her son also understood that Duke Zhen Guo always stayed out of the way, so they chose such an occasion to speak. It not only gave the girl from the Yan family a great honor, but also gave Emperor Xi and Duke Zhen no room to turn around. Who would have thought that things would turn out like this.
It seems that as long as anything is mixed into the government's mansion, there will be many twists and turns.
Thinking about the previous prince's incident, Xu Guifei's face became even more ugly.
"I angered your royal father today, and it has been quiet for the past two days."
The second prince said with a stern face that his younger brother had quarreled with the fourth prince and Yan Yan, and Xu Guifei frowned even more, "Qi'er is also true, isn't this adding fuel to the fire, you have been watching him these past two days. So, don't let him stab any more."
The mother and son talked a few more words before the second prince left.
"In today's matter, it's your grandfather who has troubled you."
Going to a place where no one was there, Duke Zhen Guo stopped and looked at Yan Yan with complicated eyes.
If it wasn't for the fear that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion would interfere with the disputes between the princes, why would Yan Yan, a little girl, defile herself in front of everyone today.
It is true that the Zhenguo Gongfu does not marry the royal family, but this is just the way the Zhenguo Gongfu has always been in the world. Your Majesty understands their tastes, and they also know not to mix in it. But today's facts are sudden. No one imagined that the second prince would ask for marriage in public on such an occasion. Not only did Emperor Xi find it difficult to step down at that time, but also Duke Zhen Guo.
Fortunately, there were no surprises. Although the second prince was rejected, and the fourth prince came, the fourth prince has always kept himself safe, and there are not so many disputes between right and wrong.
"Grandpa, don't say that. A Yan is both mother's daughter and granddaughter. Since I was a child, my grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins, and cousins have loved me so much. I have enjoyed the honor of the town's government, and naturally I have to put the overall situation first. ."
Grandpa Zhen Guo patted her on the shoulder and sighed, "You can understand this, Grandpa is very pleased, but your marriage was decided so hastily, Grandpa—"
Yan Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "The granddaughter thinks it's good, I don't decide on a marriage day, and my father won't stop for a day. What's more, I have known the fourth prince since childhood, he will definitely treat the granddaughter well, grandpa doesn't have to worry about it. ."
Yan Yan was a little surprised when Luo Huaiyuan suddenly jumped out to make a clearance, but not so surprised.
He said these words once before, but today he said it again in a different way in front of everyone. If it is true or false that she is not moved, this thing always pops up in various strange ways, and then moves her heart.
After all, Yan Yan is not yet fifteen years old, so in such a hasty situation, it is extremely rare to think of a way to reject the second prince's public request for marriage. She is also a girl, and she also hopes that everyone will not look at her with those weird and mixed eyes.
Wouldn't she feel like she was self-defeating in public? Certainly not, it just had to.
In that kind of embarrassing situation, even Duke Zhen couldn't stand up to shield her from the wind and rain. Wouldn't she feel embarrassed to bear the 'embarrassment of not being able to marry' alone? Certainly not, it's just that she is used to treating this kind of situation with a cold and even indifferent face.
She has not been a qualified noble girl in the eyes of ordinary people since she was a child. Occasionally, she would envy her eldest sister Yan Ru and Liu Shuyi. Although one of them was not of high background, one of them was guarded by the Xue family who might have all kinds of troubles. They live a life of wanton simplicity.
She has never had this before, and now she is a little more comfortable, but she is defending her own territory with the thorns all over her body. As long as someone dares to attack, she will definitely prevent the attacker from retreating.
She has become accustomed to this sturdy attitude towards life, and she is also used to face all kinds of difficulties by herself. Even if her mother has woken up and changed her attitude, she will not learn to hide from suffering and tears. Take refuge under her mother's wings. It's just that occasionally she will be vulnerable, she will also need people's comfort, and she will also need the affirmation of others to strengthen her inner persistence.
There was someone who had been telling her ever since the two met—
You are fine, fine, everywhere. All her deviant and world-shaking behaviors were not a problem in his eyes, and he even told her that he liked her very much and had liked her for a long time.
Is that like liking
Yan Yan knew how much risk Luo Huaiyuan had taken by jumping out to save her. But today, because of her, all the hard work before was in vain. No matter what he does in the future, because he is in a relationship with her, he will inevitably fall into the eyes of others. The days in the future will definitely not be as comfortable as before, and people may even be used as an imaginary enemy to guard against.
In the previous exchanges between the two, Yan Yan knew what Luo Huaiyuan's wish was. His biggest wish was to stay away from the palace, stay away from all this, and do whatever he wanted freely and happily.
And can his wish come true now? Yan Yan didn't quite understand what freedom he was talking about, but it was conceivable that it would not be so easy in the future.
Is that like liking
For the sake of love, give up your hard-earned comfort
He was able to sacrifice so much, and since that's the case, it seems that it's okay to marry him.
Seeing Yan Yan mentioning Yan Ting, Duke Zhen frowned, "That beast is getting closer and closer to the second prince's line now, even if it wasn't him who did this incident with the wolves, at least you know it. what idea?"
In the past few days, not only the prince's family has been investigating the matter, but Duke Zhen Guo has not stopped.
Due to the complete information provided by Yan Yan and several parties involved, and the things that Duke Zhen Guo found out, Duke Zhen Guo was already close to restoring the ins and outs of the matter.
To put it bluntly, this is a set within a set. The previous set was aimed at the prince, but it was a pity that the sudden intrusion of Yan Yan and his party disrupted the layout and allowed the prince to escape. The next set was temporarily laid out according to the situation at that time. Those people wanted to use the prince's greed for life and fear of death and push Shen Qi and the fourth prince to do things for the dead ghosts, to create iron evidence of the prince's lack of morality, and to pull the prince down from power.
There are not many people in Xu Guifei's hands, and the only one who can gain her trust and participate in such confidential matters is her own younger brother Xu Xiangrong.
Yan Ting entered the hunting area with Xu Xiangrong that day, and then appeared so coincidentally. From this, it can be inferred that Yan Ting had been following Xu Xiangrong, and he must have been there that day. In other words, he watched his daughter be surrounded by wolves, and even made the decision to give up her daughter's life, just to achieve the great cause of the second prince and his own future.
That's what the beast of Zhen Guogong said.
Yan Yan pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said, "The granddaughter originally wanted her mother to reconcile with him, but Ah Mo—"
Duke Zhen patted her on the shoulder again, "You don't care about this, Grandpa will handle it."
"Grandpa—"
"Take a good look at your mother and A Mo, and then concentrate on preparing for the marriage. If the imperial decree for marriage comes down, the wedding date will probably be set in about a year. After all, the prince's wedding is unusual, and the preparations by the Ministry of Rites will take a lot of time. Now you go back first, lest your mother be worried."
Yan Yan nodded and walked quickly to the felt tent in Weiyuan Hou's mansion.
Before they got close, they found Cuiping and Mei Xiang standing outside the tent with anxious expressions on their faces. When he saw her coming back, he hurried over and said that Lord Hou was here.
Yan Yan was not surprised that Yan Ting would come. If her grandfather hadn't come, Yan Ting would have taken her away.
What are you here for? It's nothing more than questioning why he messed up his calculations.
The people inside seemed to have heard the movement outside, so Yan Ting shouted, "You wicked girl, don't let me in!"
Yan Yan pursed her lips, lifted the curtain, and stepped in.
I saw Yan Ting sitting at the top, Shen Yiyao sitting aside, Yan Mo was there, looking at Yan Ting defensively.
"Why do you say that to A Yan!" Shen Yiyao said dissatisfied.
Yan Ting's face was like the bottom of a pot, it was extremely dark, and the whole person was filled with a violent atmosphere, no longer calm as usual.
"Ask her what a good thing she did! Who gave you the courage to refuse the second prince's marriage? In order not to marry the second prince, you did not hesitate to smear yourself. It's better now, you have a fourth prince who has failed in everything, you Satisfied?"
Shen Yiyao didn't know what happened, only that Yan Ting came full of anger, saying that she would wait for her good daughter, and nothing else.
What's the matter with marriage? What second prince and fourth prince
Yan Yan explained the matter succinctly, and Yan Mo on the side couldn't close her mouth.
In other words, Big Brother Luo will be his brother-in-law in the future
Shen Yiyao listened, her brows furrowed more and more tightly, and then she heard that Xu gave it to the fourth prince, but her expression softened.
"Marrying the fourth prince is better than the second prince."
The fourth prince is the child of Yuan'er. Although he is a little fatter, his character has nothing to say.
Seeing the mother and daughter talking about themselves, plus the sentence that the fourth prince is better than the second prince, Yan Ting could no longer remain silent, and opened the case in front of him.
"Ignorance of women and children, I don't choose the dragon and the phoenix, but choose a stupid as a pig."
Yan Ting gritted his teeth, and his eyes flashed with anger, like an enraged lion.
Yan Yan twitched her lips, "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go and tell the sage, this is a marriage bestowed by His Majesty."
"It's okay if you don't mention these, who gave you the guts to make you look ugly in public? Not only did you devalue yourself to nothing, but your old and immortal wicked mother-in-law said it was your grandmother? You are unfaithful and unfilial. Let's see how I clean up you today!"
The muscles on Yan Ting's face were trembling with anger, and his eyes were filled with fiery stern gazes. Forced to come over, he wanted to slap Yan Yan.
It's over, it's all over, his plans, his dream of being a national husband, and this wicked girl's refusal to marry in public will definitely anger Xu Guifei and the second prince. How should he explain to the second prince? If the second prince annoyed him because of this matter, his future future...
All kinds of chaotic thoughts flooded Yan Ting's brain, which made him gradually lose his clarity, and his eyes became red.
If Yan Yan was hit by him, she should slam into the wall and kill herself.
She dodged away, Yan Ting's hand waved empty.
Only hearing a cry like a mother beast that lost her cub, Shen Yiyao rushed over and knocked Yan Ting away.
She trembled and protected her daughter behind her, staring at each other, "Yan Ting, what do you want to do?"
"Get out of the way!"
Yan Ting pushed Shen Yiyao away and bullied him to beat Yan Yan.
Shen Yiyao hadn't stood firm yet, but after being pushed like this, she fell to the side.
Yan Yan turned around and hugged her with one hand, and blocked Yan Ting's slap with the other.
She sneered again and again, "Yan Ting, you are really skilled, you even beat women."
"I'm your father, you unfilial daughter, you dare to call her by her first name, I have to beat you to death today!"
Saying that, he swung his fist over. This punch is very powerful, and the sound of breaking the wind is faintly visible.
Yan Yan pushed Shen Yiyao to the side of Cui Qiao, who was terrified, and an 'iron bridge' escaped. She bounced up at a very fast speed, and rubbed her body to meet her.
Yan Ting has practiced martial arts since childhood, and was born in the army, so he has a good kung fu. Yan Yan's strength is naturally not worse than his, but she is good at whips and Emei thorns, and is not very good at this kind of head-to-head melee combat.
Yan Ting was in his prime, and he was furious. The strength of a woman was not as good as that of a man. For a while, Yan Yan seemed to be on a par with him, but in fact, she was supported by her internal strength and dexterity.
The two passed a few moves very quickly, and two Emei thorns slipped out of Yan Yan's sleeves and landed in her hands. She jumped back to avoid Yan Ting's knee, and then rubbed her body and stabbed a few times in front of her. Yan Ting didn't dare to resist head-on, and dodged left and right.
Yan Yan pressed hard step by step, the angle of attack was tricky and strange, Yan Ting saw a flash of silver light in front of him, and felt a sharp pain in his throat. He reflexively wanted to step back, but felt something sharp against his heart.
"you-"
His face turned pale all of a sudden, staring at the Emei thorn that stuck to his throat.
"You killed those green-shirted men?" There was disbelief and panic in his voice.
The wounds on those dead people are very strange, all of them are a strangely shaped hole pierced with a very sharp weapon. Apart from the fatal wound, there were no other wounds on his body.
The second prince and others suffered a big loss, and naturally wanted to find out what was going on, so the corpses of those people were not only seen by the prince, but also by the second prince.
They were amazed to see such strange scars.
Hearing that Duke Zhen Guo said that among the more than ten guards, several of them were top experts, they thought that the person must have made a weapon with a very sharp and sharp cylinder. The wound was not the one left by the Emei thorn.
Seeing the strange weapon in Yan Yan's hand now, Yan Ting's mind flashed and he immediately understood.
After understanding, looking at Yan Yan's cold eyes, and the two places where he would go back to Jiuyou with a little force, his heart tightened rapidly, his pupils also contracted into dots, it was obvious that Extremely frightened.
"I'm your father-"
Yan Yan chuckled, "You still know that you are my father?"
She exerted a slight force in her hand, and Yan Ting couldn't help but step back, but the two Emei thorns were like ants attached to the bones, like a shadow.
"When you beat my mother just now, why didn't you know that you were my father? When you didn't have any strength to wave your fist at me, why didn't you think it was my father? When you sold me as a tool for climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix to the second prince , why didn't you think you were my father? You guys couldn't design the prince, and you were going to take us as victims, so that when the prince got off the horse, why didn't you expect you to be my father?" Yan Yan smiled brightly, but her eyes were frighteningly cold. "As your daughter, when I was surrounded by wolves, you should be hiding nearby. Why didn't you think it was my father at that time?"
"How do you know?" Yan Ting was so surprised that he accidentally revealed his words, and then hurriedly covered it up, "I didn't—"
Yan Yan kicked him out and hit the screen. With the collapse of the screen, he fell with a bang.
"Don't say you are my father, you make me sick! If I could choose, I would definitely not want a father like you!"
Shen Yiyao's eyes were bulging, her face was full of tears, her face was terrifyingly distorted at this time, where can she see the gentleness and gentleness of the past, "Yan Ting, you bastard, did you do what A Yan was attacked by the wolves? You? Human or not, this is your own daughter."
She smiled hurriedly and coughed twice, "I shouldn't ask this kind of question, you can't even be called a beast, how can you be a human! I, want, and, you, and, leave!"
The last sentence, she said word by word, firmly and decisively.
"Heli? Impossible!"
Immediately afterwards, Yan Ting seemed to react and smiled sarcastically, "He Li, okay, as long as you are willing to give up your daughter and your son!"
Shen Yiyao's blushing face suddenly turned dead gray, and she fell softly on Cui Qiao's body, trembling uncontrollably.
"Get out, get out of here!"
Yan Ting smiled coldly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up from the ground, glanced at Yan Yan, his eyes were like a poisoned knife, and he turned away.
…
At the same time, in Luo Huaiyuan's felt tent.
As soon as he came back, he threw himself on the couch and rolled around with the quilt in his arms, scaring Xiao Anzi to the point where he almost lost his mind.
It wasn't until Xiao Anzi gathered up his courage, walked around to the low couch, and caught a glimpse of the expression on his face, that he realized that His Highness was smiling, and his face was flushed with laughter.
"Your Highness, are you, are you alright?"
Luo Huaiyuan saw the expression on Xiao Anzi's face, grabbed the pillow and threw it at him, "What's your expression? I'm not sick! Haha, Your Highness, I'm going to marry the princess!"
Xiao Anzi's expression suddenly changed into something that was hard to swallow.
princess
He glanced at His Royal Highness's body shape, what little girl can resist the weight of our Highness
Thinking of the girl from the Yan family who made His Highness talk about it every day, could it be that His Highness was unable to court her and was crazy
In order not to irritate the 'crazy' His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, he thought for a while before saying, "That's really congratulations to the Fourth Highness, I don't know which girl it is from?"
"Of course it's your princess!"
Xiao Anzi wiped his face in decadence.
Well, His Royal Highness is too precocious. He started talking about the little girl a few years ago. After talking about it, he kept saying 'This letter is for your princess', 'This meal is for your family' The princess', 'your princess must like such gadgets' and so on, the list goes on and on.
Before the little girl had anything to do with him, he was talking about it in secret, like a fat cat that was always ready to go, just waiting for someone to catch it and run away.
The most difficult thing to tell is that as Luo Huaiyuan grew older, he had all the reactions that a man should have. When Xiao Anzi was terrified, he sternly pressed him, and Luo Huaiyuan realized that he actually had the ill of talking in his sleep. Get used to it.
Fortunately, because of habit, Luo Huaiyuan had never liked to keep others vigil over the past few years, that is, Xiao Anzi slept on the low couch beside his bed every day, in case he was suddenly hungry and thirsty at night. Except for Xiao Anzi, no one knew that he had such a strange problem.
This is not the end, he not only talks in his sleep, but also occasionally has a spring dream. According to Xiao Anzi's observation, the heroine in it is not only Miss Yan but also Miss Yan.
Of course, Luo Huaiyuan definitely wouldn't shout like that, it's all Xiao Yanyan, my careful liver and the like, not Luo Huaiyuan himself, but Xiao Anzi. What's more, as long as something like this happens at night, Xiao Anzi will secretly change the bedding for the fourth prince the next day, which is simply frustrating.
As a result, Xiao Anzi saw Yan Yan a lot of times, but she was always ashamed to face it, so that Yan Yan's impression of Xiao Anzi was that of Luo Xiaopang's little follower, a rather timid and insignificant person. baby.
Xiao Anzi was so ashamed that it was hard to say it. Could it be that His Highness thought that the little girl was going crazy and was stunned
With a sad face, he comforted: "Then what, Your Highness, if you really like Miss Yan, let's go and beg Your Majesty, you are always a prince, Your Majesty might make your wish come true, so don't think about the devil all day long. Startled!"
Luo Huaiyuan got out of the quilt, the ecstasy still stayed on his face, adding a hint of anger.
"You, your master, am I so frustrated?! Hey, I'll tell you, your princess is destined to be your highness!"
Xiao Anzi just thought he was talking nonsense. He went to eat a feast and became crazy like this. Could it be that he was stimulated by something
Luo Huaiyuan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and wanted to drag his shoes to sleep, but he was so dry that he couldn't calm down. He could only circle around the low couch excitedly for a while, and then asked Xiao Anzi to find him a mirror. Xiao Anzi brought the mirror, he held the mirror and posed in various poses to look at it, and he didn't know what to say.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and many people have trouble sleeping.
The next day, the imperial decree for marriage was issued.
Emperor Xi's speed was astonishingly fast, and what happened at the banquet that night was also spread throughout the Mengshan paddock, causing everyone to discuss in private.
Yan Yan's words on that day were also broadcast, and people were ecstatic about this shocking little girl. Of course, there is always a bit of discussion in private, but no one talks about it in front of people. I haven't seen His Majesty's performance that day. Unless you don't want to live, you will fight against His Majesty, not to mention that they still have a big backer. , Duke of Zhen Guo.
For Yan Yan's rejection of the second prince and the fourth prince, some people laughed secretly, laughing at her for throwing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds.
People with discerning eyes naturally understand the reasoning. A foolish person is still a prince even if he is not favored by His Majesty. In the future, he will be a prince with an iron hat. If not, ridicule can only be hidden in the dark.
After the imperial decree for marriage was issued, Yan Yan was the appointed fourth imperial concubine.
Unless she dies, otherwise this marriage is a sure thing, and there will be no repentance. To put it in the most ugly words, even if the fourth prince died accidentally before marriage, she was also the fourth prince concubine, but the fourth prince concubine who was a widow.
Following the imperial edict of marriage, Emperor Xi also rewarded a large sum of money, and there were no more rare and exotic treasures.
Everyone naturally sighed that His Majesty valued this woman, and they dared not take it lightly. In fact, only people inside know that Emperor Xi is trying to make up for it.
With Yan Yan's light, Yan Mo, a little-known ten-year-old child, won the title of Yunqiwei from the sixth rank. This is a false title, and there is no errand and only a salary. Even so, it shows that Emperor Xi sees him differently.
Shen Yiyao cried all night that day, and the next day she got up and took care of things like receiving the imperial decree and entertaining female relatives from all over the world to celebrate.
In fact, no matter what, life will always go on, and you can't sink into pain because of a momentary unhappiness.
Yan Mo became more prudent, and every day he urged Yan Yan to take him out to practice riding and archery. If Yan Yan is not free, he will go to Shen Qi.
He knew that the reason why Niang was so miserable that day was all for his sister and him, and the most important thing was him, because her sister would get married soon, and he was still young, even if his parents reconciled, he could not leave Weiyuan Houfu. of.
Yan Mo never hated why he didn't grow up as much as he did at this time!
All this, Yan Yanju saw it.
