Xi Ruyan secretly rejoiced and didn't know what to do, but she always went to the temple to burn incense and make a wish in the past month, and the Bodhisattva Zhenren heard her heart and fulfilled her wish.

Who knew that the royal family was preparing to come to the palace to propose marriage, but before the marriage, the emperor passed Jin Chuanhou himself into the palace. Thinking that it was to discuss the matter of getting married on the second day, Jin Chuanhou happily entered the palace.

Unexpectedly, the emperor said that the prince and the concubine of the Marquis of Jin Chuan may not be able to form a family affair for the time being, because Mu Ting was ordered to send troops to defend the southwest border, at least for a few months, or for several years, which is really not good to delay the daughter of Xi Mansion.

How shrewd Jin Chuanhou is, he knows that this set of rhetoric is just a cover, and as for the reason for the failure, I am afraid that the reason is all on the prince. Jin Chuan Hou is a family of Wenchen, how to fancy face, although the royal family has not yet come to the palace to propose, but the news has already spread all over the city, how should others look at Jin Chuan Hou in the future, and how to see his concubine Xi Ruyan? Qing Gao was as high as Jin Chuan, and Hou Dang's face sank.

In the end, this matter is the fault of the royal family, and the emperor is really ashamed of the Marquis of Jin Chuan.

"Xi Hou, your daughter-in-law is like a swallow and is generous, gentle and decent, she is really a rare daughter-in-law, I am really reluctant to let go, if not, now my eldest son Ling'er Palace also lacks a concubine, since you and I have the fate of being in-laws, don't let it down."

This proposal sounds very ridiculous at first glance, but after thinking about it secretly, Jin Chuanhou understands that the emperor's remarks are enough to give himself dignity, otherwise the royal family will refuse this family business, and Jin Chuanhou, as a courtier, will be helpless, but it will be a great difficulty for Jin Chuanhou's Mansion and Xi Ruyan - imagine who would dare to propose marriage to the eldest daughter of the Xi family in the future? After all, Xi Ruyan is the one who almost marries into the palace as the crown princess, even if the family affair fails, I am afraid that no one will dare to get involved anymore.

So at the moment, conforming to the emperor's wishes, marrying his daughter to the emperor's eldest son Mu Ling is the best and only choice, so as to give the emperor a step, it can be regarded as a royal favor.

Jin Chuanhou said: "The little girl is grateful for the emperor's love, and the Weichen thanked the emperor for his grace on behalf of the Hou Mansion." ”

"Xi Hou, is this the right thing to do?"

Jin Chuanhou bowed down and said: "It is the blessing of the micro-ministers to be valued by the royal family, how can it not be reasonable?"

The emperor was relieved to see that the Marquis of Jin Chuan was so transparent and obedient, and he was very happy: "Very good, tomorrow I will still send a ceremonial envoy to the Hou Mansion to propose marriage, and in the future, I will declare to the outside world that I was originally the choice of concubine for the emperor's eldest son, and the concubine of the Marquis of Jin Chuan is the only candidate." ”

"Everything is up to the emperor."

After returning to the Hou Mansion in the evening, Jin Chuanhou explained to his wife what the emperor meant, and the He family was shocked and reluctant, after all, the prince is the future master, and the daughter is the future queen, and now the son-in-law has become an ordinary prince, isn't it a world of difference?

"How can this be reasonable, the royal family is too bullying, isn't this a joke for others to see our Hou Mansion!"

Jin Chuanhou patted his wife's hand and said, "Madam, the matter has come to this, we have no choice, after all, it is the emperor, can we still go to the main hall to make trouble?" ”

"But ......" Mrs. is still uneasy.

"Among the princes, '嫡' and 'elder' are respected, although they can't marry the prince, but the eldest son is also a noble status, and Ruyan was also a concubine in the past, rather than marrying other eunuchs in the future, it is better to continue to marry into the palace."

Listening to Jin Chuanhou's analysis, Mrs. He calmed down, yes, now like this, who else dares to come to the Hou Mansion to propose marriage? I had to compromise: "That's it, in the end, as the prince's concubine, he will be regarded as the master of other wives in the future, the eldest son of the emperor is different from other princes, and he will be the prince in the future." ”

"Now that the emperor is in the prime of life, who will inherit the unification in the future......" Marquis Jin Chuan's eyes were a hint of cunning, "It is not yet known." ”

"Master Hou is ......" Madame covered her mouth, and her frightened eyes were mixed with a little excitement.

"You can't say it, you can't say it, the most important thing for Mrs. at the moment is to appease Ruyan, that child has a high spirit, and she must be relieved to accept it."

"Yes, yes, the concubine will go here."

Sure enough, when Xi Ruyan heard the news, she was ashamed and humiliated, and when she heard that her father had turned to promise herself to the emperor's eldest son Mu Ling, she was even more ashamed. Even if he is the eldest son, he can't hide his background!

But the royal family has made up her mind, Mu Ting is going to go on the expedition today, even though Xi Ruyan is sad and has no other way, under the unremitting persuasion and comfort of her mother, she finally had to compromise, accept this family business, and marry the emperor's eldest son as a concubine.

At the beginning of marrying the emperor's eldest son Mu Ling, Xi Ruyan still maintained the freshness and happiness of being a new wife, the emperor's eldest son has always been gentle and elegant, which can be regarded as consistent with her previous wishes, and she is regarded as loving and respectful to her, but it didn't take long for her to find that Mu Ling's heart was not as elegant and indisputable as it seemed, but was calculating, and even those favors for himself were based on the help that Xi would bring to him.

She used to yearn for husband and wife and love, and she was harmonious, but now Mu Ling has shattered all her hopes in the boudoir.

And at this moment, the crown prince Mu Ting returned to the dynasty, and Xi Ruyan's heart was even more like being hit by a stone, this is his original beloved, and he has now become the prince's sister-in-law.

Not long after Mu Ting returned to the court, the news that the prince was about to get married, and the person who married him was Qinglan, the daughter of Shangshu Qing of the Ministry of Rites, and Qinglan was the handkerchief hand handed over by Xi Ruyan's boudoir.

Xi Ruyan was shocked to hear the news like a thunderbolt, at the beginning, she simply thought that Mu Ting didn't want to mistake her because she wanted to guard the border, so she refused this family business, but now she feels like a complete joke! Not only that, but there is also a feeling of betrayal in my heart, it would be fine if it was someone else, but the person who is about to become the crown princess turned out to be her close friend Qinglan, so how can she accept this result? Even though he was shy and reserved at the beginning, he never mentioned to Qinglan that he admired the crown prince Mu Ting, but Qinglan should know that the emperor intended to marry Xi Ruyan to the prince as a concubine!

Later, Xi Ruyan learned from others that the prince had fallen in love with Qinglan a year ago before he went to the border, and this time he made military exploits and rushed back to the court so quickly in order to marry Qinglan as his wife.

"What ......" a year ago? Before the expedition? Wasn't that when he and the prince were going to get married?

Scold...... Anything that doesn't want to delay yourself because you want to go on an expedition is all a pretext and a lie! He didn't fancy himself at all, but Qinglan!
