Xiao Rui was not sure that he would really be named the prince of Yanwang. However, as long as his name has been included in the clan jade and can appear in front of people as the son of King Yan, he has nothing to worry about. Even if he can't become the son of King Yan, the son of the prince can also be crowned a prince and become an independent door, and he will not go back to be a little concubine in the General Mansion of the Pillar State, and he will be restrained and suppressed by his mother and brother. That's enough for him.

In the past, when he was still the son of the Xiao family, what he hoped most was to get a job as a military attache in a foreign place when he grew up, and when his father Xiao Mingde died, he could officially separate from his brother-in-law, take away his biological mother Aunt Li, marry a satisfactory wife, give birth to a few lovely children, and live a happy life of independence and independence, no longer have to be angry with his mother and brother, and he no longer has to pay attention to the three princes who are weird and yang.

Now he is no longer the son of the Xiao family, but the identity of the son of King Yan is also good. Although he has changed his parents, his parents are undoubtedly better at talking and being closer to him. Regardless of whether he is ordained or not, he will have more autonomy and can decide his own future life, which seems to be a step closer than the life he had dreamed of before.

Therefore, even if the emperor only recognized him as the son of King Yan, but planned to leave the title of the son of King Yan to his own flesh and blood, he felt that it didn't matter.

He also told Xie Mulin his thoughts, and said: "My father comforted me, saying that the emperor was worried that the crown prince would be deposed by the Cao family, and the second prince would also lose the qualification to succeed to the throne because of the crimes of the Lin family. Therefore, at present, it is more beneficial to the overall situation for several princes to mistakenly think that the emperor just promised his father and temporarily postponed the decision on the heir of King Yan. As long as the three or four princes think that even if they fail to compete for the crown, they will only go to the Yan Wangfu as heirs, rather than facing a desperate situation, and they will always act with a little measure. ”

This kind of thinking is actually mainly the three princes, King Yan was impatient to mention the matter of the three princes, only said that he would never accept the latter to become the heir of the Yan Palace, and the emperor also promised not to force him, and the side did not say much. Xiao Rui didn't know why King Yan was disgusted by the three princes, and the emperor still had the intention of cooperating, but thinking about the three princes' usual style of acting, it seemed that it was reasonable to not like King Yan and his wife.

It's just that since the emperor promised King Yan that he would never pass on the three princes to him, and the emperor has already taken a fancy to the four princes as the new princes, it is almost a foregone conclusion that the three princes will lose in the future, and what will happen to him? Stay in the capital and be an idle king with no real power under the nose of the new monarch? He is now eager to stay away from the Yan Wangfu, and when that day comes, he doesn't know if he will regret it.

Xiao Rui did not trust the emperor's promise as much as King Yan, he thought that in the future, when the emperor set the fourth prince as the new prince, it was very likely that the third prince would be passed over: "Although my father already has me, but the emperor just learned about my existence, I am just a strange nephew to the emperor, how can he be willing to hand over the great foundation of the Yan Wangfu to my nephew, instead of letting his own flesh and blood take charge?" At present, he has recorded my name in the clan jade, but since the founding of this dynasty, King Yan, who has been succeeded by the prince, has not all lost his heirs, and there are more than one who still has several heirs, but because there is no son-in-law to attack the prince, the matter of the successor prince was determined by the holy decree. I think...... It is very likely that the emperor intends to do the same, but for now it is just temporarily appeasing his father. In the future, he will probably give me the title of county king, and give me a good fief to make up for it, so that I can obediently give up the throne of the prince of the Yan Wangfu, right? I don't think it's a big deal, but I can't bear to tell them the truth when I see my father and their happy face. ”

Xie Mulin couldn't help but take a breath: "You say that...... It is indeed quite possible. After all, the emperor has always wanted to succeed his own son to inherit the Yan Palace. In the past, King Yan had no heirs, so it didn't matter. Now that King Yan has you, your background is ...... After all, it's not a descendant, and it's not so justifiable. Now that the court situation is not stable, the emperor has a big plan to carry out, so he took the word to stabilize King Yan. In the future, there will be no more relatives such as the Cao family and the Lin family in the court, and the border will be peaceful, and there will be no battle to fight, even if the emperor designates another candidate for the prince, what can His Royal Highness King Yan do? If you figure this out early and see a little bit of it, you won't be too sad when the time comes. Of course, if in the end, the Holy Decree canonizes you as the son of the world, it will naturally be an unexpected joy. ”

Xiao Rui knew that Xie Mulin could understand his thoughts, and he couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart, and couldn't help but take her hand and said: "Good Mulin, there may be turmoil in the capital next, but Beiping should be able to be peaceful for a year or two." Let's just take advantage of this peaceful day to get married first, right?! ”

"Huh?" Xie Mulin was stunned, and he didn't react, why did he suddenly turn the topic to marriage.

Xiao Rui became a little excited the more he thought about it: "Before I returned to Beijing, I had already obtained permission from Uncle Xie, as long as my parents came forward to propose marriage, he would agree to this family business!" Although I have changed my surname, my new parents have a close relationship with Uncle Xie and are happy to marry the Xie family. Just wait for us to return to Beiping, we can come to the door to propose! Next is the three books and six ceremonies, and the wedding will be held in the spring of next year! ”

He looked at Xie Mulin with a blank eye: "When you wrote to me in the past, you once mentioned that you couldn't stand the complexity of a big family's wedding, and when you saw the sin of your cousin when she got married, you were afraid that you would have to suffer it again when she got married. With my current status, I want this wedding to be simpler, but I'm afraid it's impossible. But if I become the prince of Yan Wangfu, even if it is just an ordinary county king, then the wedding will only be more grand and cumbersome! Taking advantage of the fact that I am only a prince and concubine now, and I have not yet taken the name of a prince, I only need to abide by the etiquette of the marriage of ordinary clan children, and I can complete a lifelong event, let's get married first, right? Even if the wedding is really going to be sinful, let's think about it less! ”

Xie Mulin couldn't help but roll his eyes and pulled his hands back: "What good thing do you want?!" I'm only fifteen years old, and I'm getting married now, don't you think it's too much?! "Is she still a junior high school graduate?!

Xiao Rui tilted his head: "Fifteen years old and Xu, isn't this age just right?" I'm eighteen years old, and it's time to get married. If I drag it back, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother or the emperor will give someone down, and it's troublesome if I want to refuse! ”

Xie Mulin was suddenly a little unhappy in his heart: "Will they still give people down?" What about you? Will you happily accept it? ”

"A reward that cannot be refused, no matter how unhappy you are, you can only accept it." Xiao Rui was excited, and said with a great desire to survive, "But when the person is in my hands, how to arrange it is my business, and it is a big deal to send her away." The Queen Mother and the Emperor did not force me to get close to anyone. ”

"Humph!" Xie Mulin was not very satisfied, "It's still early to get married." The young and the old are orderly. I also have two older brothers and one sister above me, and the marriage has not yet been settled. When will it be my turn when they are each married? If you can't wait, then don't force it! ”

Xiao Rui was dumbfounded.
