Chapter 218: Marry Her Through the Door
At this moment, Xu Changping really felt that Mu Fan in front of him was a fake from someone else, otherwise how could he hear such words from his mouth?
"Son", "courtier", "imperial order", "observance"? Are these words uttered by Mu Fan?
Hasn't this master always liked to go against His Majesty the Emperor? Let him go east, he must go west, give him something, even if he likes him, he will not accept it, let alone let him go to the west, if it is Mu Fan under normal circumstances, he is afraid that he will only throw it aside when he sees this letter, and he will not give any response at all.
What's going on today? Could it be that His Highness suddenly figured out and changed his temperament?
Impossible!
Not long ago, he didn't allow anyone to mention his father in front of him, and it's only been a long time, and when nothing happened, why did he seem to be a different person?
Those who know will only think that Mu Fan is very strange today, and those who don't know will think that this is a pair of good father and son who have not seen each other for many years and missed each other and are close to each other.
The sudden answer made Xu Changping really a little incredulous, and he couldn't help but confirm to Mu Fan again: "Your Highness, are you really going to the west?" β
"Of course." The corners of Mu Fan's mouth curved slightly upward, and he looked very happy, "Immediately order someone to prepare, and leave for Beijing to meet my father in five days." β
Laughed! His Highness actually laughed! The laugh is so weird!
What is this master's idea?
Xu Changping's heart suddenly became uneasy, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the west is the land of the border, which is the border between the wilderness and my Huaguo, we have been at war with the wilderness for many years, not to mention the victory or defeat, and there are signs of defeat in recent days." Your Majesty sent you there at this time, I'm afraid there is nothing good to do. β
"If something good happens, will it be my turn?" Mu Fan sneered, "Sending a prince who is only fifteen years old and has never been on the battlefield to fight on the border is something that only my father can do." β
"If you know you're going to war, why do you say yes." Xu Changping didn't want to let Mu Fan take this risk, "You can resist the decree as before, according to my understanding of Your Majesty, he won't do anything to you." β
"yes, you won't do anything to me." Mu Fan's eyes drifted into the distance, as if he was recalling something, "Leave me out for ten or eight years at most." β
"Isn't that what you're for?" Xu Changping couldn't help but speak much faster, "...... back then"
As he was talking, Xu Changping suddenly changed the subject: "I finally achieved my goal, why do you want to go back, and why do you want to go to that dangerous place?" The battlefield is changing rapidly, you are not a child, you have never had the experience of leading troops to fight, how can you deal with danger? β
"I've made up my mind, and I don't need to say it anymore."
Seeing that Mu Fan had no intention of changing his mind, Xu Changping had no choice but to sacrifice a killer weapon: "You are gone, what should Yan'er do?" β
"Ah Yan......" Mu Fan was silent.
"Do you want her to wait for you all the time?" Seeing that Mu Fan was thoughtful, Xu Changping suddenly felt that there was a play, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, "The situation in the west is complex and changeable, no one can say that it will take a few years to go, seeing that Yan'er is not far from Jilu, if you can't come back in time, whether she will keep waiting, or marry someone else, have you ever thought about this?" β
"I'm ......" Mu Fan stopped after saying only one word, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.
Mu Fan didn't reply for a long time, Xu Changping was in a hurry, and continued: "You could have lived like a fairy couple with Yan'er, why did you go back to Beijing to wade into this troubled water?" And why put yourself in danger? Your Highness, you just listen to my advice, why don't you take this opportunity to take Yan'er away and fly away. β
I don't know how long it took, Mu Fan seemed to have figured out something, raised his head, looked at Xu Changping with a smile, and said, "Let's go?" Why go? I want to prove to him that I can do what he can't do in his life. β
"As for Ah Yan...... After only hearing a sigh, Mu Fan clenched his fists, as if he had made a decision, "When I return victoriously, it will be the day I marry her." β
"How long do you want her to wait?" Xu Changping frowned, "What if you can't return safely?" β
"If I can't come back, she'll marry herself." Mu Fan's expression darkened, and he muttered in a low voice, "What if...... If this is really the case, then even if I am responsible for her in this life, I hope that I can compensate her in the next life. To be able to be with her...... I only have one choice. β
Mu Fan's voice was extremely small, but Xu Changping still listened to it clearly. A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he understood as if he had been enlightened why Mu Fan agreed to return to Beijing.
He wanted to give Xia Yan a name!
It's not a side room, it's not a concubine, it's not a country girl who has a private life, but I want her to be a real princess.
Mu Fan is the prince, and the so-called words of the people's parents, the matchmaker, can only be the emperor's personal decree on him.
All the dignitaries and nobles in the capital knew that the three princes had a marriage contract when they were still babbling.
Although he never appeared in front of everyone with his fiancΓ©e, and no one even heard him mention it, everyone knew that this marriage would be completed sooner or later, after all, this was a marriage appointed by the emperor and empress, and the third prince had always been the most filial to his mother, and he would definitely obey her will.
Therefore, over the years, even though Mu Fan has been quite popular with girls in the capital, even regardless of his age, he has prepared to be his side room one by one in advance, and even unscrupulous means for this position.
These noble girls are each gentle, beautiful, and versatile, no matter which family they marry, they are the materials of the housewife, but they fight in order to make a side room.
But even though the head of the fight was bloody, no one dared to think about the position of the third princess.
After all, all the noble ladies knew that it was impossible for the three princes to disobey their mother's orders for their sake, and even if the mother was no longer alive, they had little hope.
The third prince never disobeyed the queen, Xu Changping and the others all knew it, after all, they grew up watching him, and even knew more than outsiders.
From lifelong events to eating, drinking, and Lazar, as long as the queen has opened her mouth, Mu Fan will only complete it without a sound even if she is reluctant, and will never say a word "no".
At the earliest, Mu Fan completed the things assigned by the queen, and would be like an ordinary child, flashing a pair of big eyes around his mother and begging her for praise.
But in Xu Changping's memory, he had never heard the queen praise Mu Fan.
Gradually, Mu Fan no longer tried to please her, her words were more like orders to Mu Fan, no matter what she said, he would numbly complete it, not so much listening to his mother's words, but a habit, a terrifying habit.
For the queen, Mu Fan should complete the task, if he can't complete it, then what awaits him even Xu Changping doesn't know.
He only knew that before the death of the Queen Immortal, Mu Fan often had various large and small scars on his body.
How much of a crime such a child has suffered, I'm afraid only he and the queen know.
Although Mu Fan's marriage contract was given by the emperor, this decision was indeed made by the queen.
Back then, she pointed out the unborn child of Fengyuan Houfu to Mu Fan, which was a real sensation in the capital.
At that time, Mu Fan was the crown prince, and the child of Fengyuan Houfu had not yet been born, and he didn't even know about men and women, so he made a holy decree so easily, what if he gave birth to a son?
Isn't this a joke? Could it be that the crown prince has been left behind?
An idea popped up in everyone's minds: Is the crown prince really from the queen?
But looking at the same appearance, few people have doubts about the prince's origin.
Fortunately, a few months later, the Fengyuan Marquis Mansion won a thousand gold, which made the people who cared about Mu Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and also made the people who were ready to watch jokes and prepare to take this opportunity to change the crown prince to stop thinking.
The strange thing is that she is obviously her daughter-in-law, but the queen doesn't seem to care about the child at all, from her birth to the full moon, she has not seen her once, and she has never been hugged into the palace.
Xu Changping had heard Manager Fan say that the queen had never seen that girl until the day of her death.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the queen doesn't like the child at all, but this marriage contract has always been there, and no one has even heard of the queen having the idea of canceling this marriage contract.
Everyone thinks that the eldest lady of Fengyuan Houfu is out of luck, and they don't know what her father and mother have done, so that the queen can refer to her as a daughter-in-law if she doesn't like it.
More than one person is looking forward to the emperor and queen canceling this damn marriage contract as soon as possible, so that their girls can have a chance to be the crown princess, but they look forward to it day by day, month by month, year by year, until the queen dies, the marriage contract has always been there.
Even when the emperor abolished Mu Fan's position as crown prince, he never mentioned that he wanted to cancel the marriage contract.
Although this gave others the opportunity to be the crown princess, the position of Mu Fan's wife was still not vacant.
Even if you don't rush to the throne, just for that face, and for the legendary wealth of the country, there are countless girls who rush to it.
They really wished that the eldest lady would die as soon as possible so that they could make room for them.
But the reality is cruel, no matter how much they are dissatisfied, Mu Fan is a person with a fiancΓ©e.
They understand that no matter what the relationship between the two is, this relationship will definitely come to pass.
Xu Changping naturally knew why the queen didn't like the eldest lady of Fengyuan Houfu, because it was not the girl who made the marriage contract at all, but the child in Yan Zhixi's womb, the current Xia Yan.
Yan Zhixi has been well-behaved since she was a child, and she is an orthodox daughter. What's more, because she has been afraid of life since she was a child, Prime Minister Yan and his wife have almost never taken her to appear in front of people, so few people in the capital know what Prime Minister Yan's daughter looks like.
Miss Yan doesn't even have many acquaintances in the capital, let alone any friends.
From her birth to her death, there was only one person who could be called a friend.
