34. Forced marriage
The project to control the river was completed in its entirety, and due to the fine weather, it took them only ten days to rush back to the imperial city.
Yinyue and Yankai told the emperor that this mission had been successfully completed, and after the emperor heard this, he was overjoyed and asked Yinyue what reward he wanted.
"Your Majesty, the daughter of the people just wants to withdraw her marriage with the prince."
"Father, the son will not retreat."
"Yinyue, why are you retreating?"
"Because the folk girl only envies the marriage of one couple for a lifetime, the prince must also have three wives and four concubines in the future, if you can't get all the love of one person, then I'd rather not."
"This, since ancient times, it is very normal for men to have three wives and four concubines."
The emperor looked at Yankai and then at Yinyue, he really wanted Yinyue to be his daughter-in-law.
"A couple for a lifetime? Is that what you want? ”
"Yes. I don't want to share my future husband's love with other women. ”
The emperor looked at Yinyue, a little distracted, once upon a time there was also a woman who told him that as long as he lived a couple, that woman was Yinyue's mother.
"That's it, Yinyue, I'll give you some time to get along, and if it's not suitable, you can come back to me. I'm a little tired, so get out. ”
Seeing the emperor like this, Yinyue didn't dare to say another word, so she had to retreat with Yankai.
"Whew."
"Huangfu Yinyue, what's wrong with me?"
"You're fine anywhere, but we're not from the same world."
"Is it because I'm the crown prince?"
"It's not. Of course, you think it's okay to be this, if you become the emperor in the future, the harem beauties are three thousand, that's for sure, even if you love me again, but you still have your world, are you willing to give up your world? ”
"Me."
Indeed, being in the royal family, he has to think about his regime, and it is inevitable that there will be some marriages in the future.
"Give up, I'm not suitable for you."
"What if one day I could give up the harem for you?!"
Yinyue ignored Yan Kai behind him and returned to the Cold Moon Palace alone.
The next day, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent people to look for Yinyue everywhere, and Yinyue was woken up by the silver fox.
"I said Xiao Yue'er, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your family has taken the dowry directly to your father's mansion, and your father is looking for you everywhere."
"Don't shake me, I'm so sleepy."
"Hurry up!"
"Okay, what's the matter?"
Silver Moon scratched her head and looked at Silver Fox with an unhappy expression.
"I said your prince is about to marry you!"
"Marrying what? The emperor was not in a hurry. ”
"But your prince is in a hurry. You better get up quickly, the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion are looking for you everywhere with gongs. ”
"Yes, got it."
After Yinyue got up and cleaned up, she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, only to see people in the royal family carrying boxes of dowry gifts to the hall.
"Yue'er, you're finally back."
"Dad, how can you let them in."
"I don't know, I just knew."
"Oh, isn't this Yue'er? You see, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent you a lot of dowry gifts, and I have received them all for you. ”
"Who gave you the right to collect."
"Master, since ancient times, the marriage of children has been decided by their parents, shouldn't I be the head of the house?"
"Heh, the emperor doesn't dare to force me, what are you yelling here? Dad, let the things be returned. ”
"This. Yue'er, I think the prince is indeed happy with you. If you really want to quit, Dad will call the shots for you. ”
"Who wants to return these dowries?"
"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Huangfu Yinshuang immediately ran out to greet him when he heard the sound.
"Fuck off."
Huangfu Yinshuang was very dissatisfied when she heard Yan Kai's unkind words, but she didn't dare to show it, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you see that my sister is not rare about your dowry at all, maybe she already has some wild men outside." ”
"I see you haven't had enough of the lesson from last time." Yinyue sneered, "Besides, compared to you, I really don't know what stealing people is. ”
"You!" Huangfu Yinshuang stomped his feet angrily, and then glanced at Yi Huilian.
"Oh, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you may not know that my Yue'er and the man named the fox are very close, if they don't fall in love with each other, Yue'er will definitely choose His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Shut up." Huang Fucheng looked at Yi Huilian angrily, he didn't expect her to say this.
"The purifier is self-purifying, prince, I don't like you, so please take back the dowry."
"If you don't agree, I don't mind marrying you directly now, otherwise you don't want the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Huang Fucheng looked at Yinyue with some embarrassment.
"You, despicable!"
Yinyue had to think about her father, and she couldn't let the entire Prime Minister's Mansion suffer because of her impulsiveness.
"How?"
Yan Kai couldn't help laughing, it seems that this wild cat sometimes has to use strong ones.
"Okay, I promise you, but these dowries will be sent to Tianzi No. 1 Pavilion first."
"Okay."
"Hey, Yue'er, you can't take this dowry!"
"Why can't you take it?"
"I am the head mother of this family, and I must take care of these dowries."
"Really? Daddy, has there been such a rule since ancient times? ”
"I don't think so."
"That's fine. Since it's my dowry, I have the right to deal with it. ”
Yan Kai watched Yinyue finally agree, but with her character, she would definitely not compromise so easily.
"This." Yi Huilian's expression changed slightly.
"That's it, my crown princess can put the dowry wherever she wants, and the rest of the things will be sent to the No. 1 Pavilion of the Son of Heaven."
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." The people in the royal family hurriedly moved the things out of the door, and Yi Huilian hated to tear Yinyue apart on the spot.
The subordinates in the Prime Minister's Mansion looked at Yinyue as if she had changed since she came back, and suddenly didn't dare to bully Yinyue like before.
"Yue'er, you haven't been back for so long, why don't you have a meal at home today?"
"No, the last meal, I ate a little bit."
"Yinyue, can you not be so shameless."
"Hehe, didn't you call me my sister just now? Why doesn't it evoke my name now? ”
Yinyue raised her eyebrows, and Yan Kai looked at Huang Fucheng, "Prime Minister, I think your second lady seems to need to be taught how to learn etiquette, there is a grandmother in the royal family who is a veteran of teaching women's etiquette, I think the prime minister doesn't mind if I send the second lady over." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, really? Can I go to the royal family? ”
"Frost, are you going?"
"Go, definitely go." Huangfu Yinshuang was secretly happy, it seems that this prince still has a good impression of her, otherwise how could she learn women's etiquette.
"Since you want to go, then okay." Huang Fucheng helped his forehead.
"Daddy, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just that I've been a little dizzy lately, and I feel powerless."
"I'll show you."
Yinyue helped Huangfu Cheng into the room and checked his pulse, which was a little messy, a bit like he had been poisoned.
"Master, are you alright?"
"Daddy, don't you get off us."
"You're all going to get me out, it's too noisy."
Yan Kai looked over with a look, "Didn't you hear the words of the crown princess?" ”
"Yes, mother, let's go out."
The door was closed, and it was finally quiet.
"Yue'er, when did you learn to see a doctor?"
"Daddy, don't bother to tell you, I studied medicine with the medical saint before. Daddy, what do you usually eat? ”
"As always, the kitchen is ready and the family sits out together, but recently your mother will bring me lotus seed and peach gum soup every night, and it tastes really good."
"Is that so? If she still sends it tonight, don't eat it yet, I'll see if it's not clean. ”
"Do you suspect your mistress?"
"Daddy, I'm not afraid to tell you that since my mother died, I have basically been bullied by others in the house."
"Why don't you tell Daddy."
"Because I'm not strong enough, don't worry, Daddy, I won't let anyone hurt you now."
"She's usually a little mean, but she definitely won't hurt me."
"Daddy, what would you do if it was really her who did it?"
"If it's really her, I naturally won't be soft-hearted."
"Well, Daddy, I'll have someone decoction for you later, just take one dose a day for three consecutive days."
"Oh, you can let Uncle Li do it, I can trust him."
"yes, okay."
"Okay, Yue'er, let's go out, don't disturb the prime minister's rest."
Yan Kai and Yin Yue walked out of the room, and saw Uncle Li standing at the door, and after Yin Yue whispered to Uncle Li, she left with Yan Kai.
