Chapter 105 Never Compromise
The Fan family publicized that they were going to marry the princess and threatened the emperor with the princess's reputation. If Chu Tingxiao refused the marriage proposal, the world would think that the emperor was too partial and would beat the mandarin ducks;

And if the emperor agrees to marry the princess to Fan Yunsheng, and the princess of a country to marry the son of the prime minister, both parties will be happy. Maybe the emperor and the prime minister can still leave a good reputation of harmony between the monarch and his ministers.

Ming Jing looked at the emperor calmly, waiting for his answer.

Is it to follow the trend, or never compromise?
Zhang Desheng also looked complicated, looking at the emperor's silent face.

"What does it have to do with my reputation!" Chu Tingxiao's lips curled up coldly, his profound eyes were deep and firm, and he paused every word.

Zhang Desheng could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"If Fan Qian's memorial was presented in private half a year ago, or a few months ago, I might consider it, after all, Liu Liu seemed to like Fan Yunsheng at that time.

But now, my wife just repaired Fan Yunsheng a few days ago and showed her attitude. How could I marry my daughter to a man she hates?
As a man, if he wants to exchange his children's marriage for benefits, then I am worthy to be their father and the ruler of the world! "

The emperor's voice was extremely sharp and resounding, echoing in Qianyuan Hall.

"Your Majesty's words, this slave is deeply moved. Your Majesty stands above heaven and earth, and is a sage king of a generation!" Zhang Desheng heard tears welling up in his eyes, wiped away his tears secretly, and nodded vigorously.

Ming Jing showed a gentle smile and said, "Okay, with His Majesty's words, the Queen Mother can feel at ease."

She watched both the princess and the emperor grow up, and she naturally didn't want the princess to marry someone who was not human. Seeing the emperor said so, she was also very pleased.

"The Empress Dowager has one more thing to tell your majesty."

"Auntie, but it's okay."

"The queen mother said that if your majesty chooses not to be threatened by the Fan family, she will come forward in person and say that the princess voluntarily practices in front of the Buddha and prays for Dayan. According to Buddhist teachings, the princess will not get married until two years later, in order to reject Fan. home. The queen mother is willing to be this villain, so as to calm the storm in the city."

Using this reason to reject the Fan family, although everyone knew it was fake, but no one could fault it, it was nothing more than making the Fan family hate the queen mother and not letting her go, but it had nothing to do with the emperor, and it also preserved the reputation of the princess.

Chu Tingxiao asked, "Auntie, what if I compromised just now?"

Ming Jing smiled slightly: "The queen mother said that her son will not compromise."

"That's right, for Liuliu's sake, I will never compromise!" Chu Tingxiao said in a deep voice with slightly hot eyes.

A young eunuch walked in: "Your Majesty, Princess Yongning is asking to see you."

After Chu Yi got the news that the Fan family had asked Chu Tingxiao to marry her, and found out about the publicity caused by the Fan family outside, she rushed to the Qianyuan Hall to face the saint.

Xiao Yan stood silently at the entrance of the hall. After learning from him that Emperor Yan might let Chu Yi marry Fan Yunsheng, his heart could no longer calm down.

Ever since he became an imperial guard, he never left privately during his duty. Half an hour ago, he went to Jiang Xianying privately, and ordered Jiang Xianying to go out of the palace tomorrow, and use all their forces to investigate. thing.

Xiao Yan didn't know why he did this, but he felt that if he didn't do something, he would regret it later.

When he returned to Qianyuan Hall to continue his duty, he happened to meet Chu Yi.

The young man in a round-neck navy blue brocade robe with a long sword on his waist, with an indifferent expression, stood tall and straight like a bamboo under the eaves. Chu Yi looked at him, his heart moved, and asked, "Xiao Yan, what's going on inside? Is the emperor very serious?" angry?"

"The court lady Mingjing just entered, as for Your Majesty—"

Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but Chu Tingxiao's roar came clearly from the hall: "I will never compromise for the sake of Liuliu!"

Xiao Yan: "That's it."

Chu Yi smiled helplessly: "As expected of the father."

She was about to walk in, but Xiao Yan finally couldn't hold back, and asked in a low and hoarse voice: "Princess, will you marry Fan Yunsheng?"

He didn't ask Chu Yi if he wanted to marry Fan Yunsheng. The news that Chu Yi drove Fan Yunsheng away a few days ago had spread throughout the palace. I don't want to.

He asked if he would.

Xiao Yan grew up in the Yong Kingdom, and like Chu Yi, they were the emperor's children. Later, the third emperor's uncle, Xiao Jixing, was also the emperor, but they used the marriage of the daughters under their knees as a tool to stabilize their status, and either sent them to be married or married to aristocratic families.

Xiao Ji'an had only one son, and when he was very young, one day, Xiao Ji'an suddenly brought a fifteen or sixteen-year-old older sister and said that she would be his older sister, Princess Yong.

Xiao Yan was really happy at that time. He couldn't understand the resentment in Wei Rudai's eyes, and he didn't understand why his parents had to quarrel. He only knew that his sister was very kind to him and would give him medicine gently, but he was puzzled. Why is he locked in a dark room on a regular basis? He will comfort him softly.

Xiao Yan liked that elder sister very much, and pestered her to play with him every day, but within less than a month, she disappeared.

Sadly, Xiao Yan ran to ask Xiao Ji'an, Xiao Ji'an said flatly that she was just an ordinary maid in the palace, she had already been married to the leader of the Shanyue tribe, it was her blessing to become a nominal royal family and do her best for Dayong.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that the reason why Xiao Ji'an recognized her as Princess Yong was just to give her an identity and use her to stabilize his throne.

The leader of the Shanyue people wants to marry a princess, so even if there is no princess in Yong Kingdom, a princess must be created.

A few months later, civil strife broke out among the various tribes in Shanyue. The leader of Shanyue who married the princess of Yong died, and the new leader was the youngest son of the former leader. The princess was forced to become the wife of the new leader and committed suicide because she could not bear the humiliation.

Later, this happened many times.

He never said a word to those new Yong princesses.

When the emperor's uncle Xiao Jixing ascended the throne, Xiao Yan had seen how much Xiao Jixing doted on his two little daughters, called them nieces, and fed them medicine himself. A general with countless wives and concubines in the family, one married to the chief assistant who was over fifty years old.

In Yong Kingdom, no matter how noble one's status is, it is just a tool in the hands of the emperor.

Thinking of that sister, thinking of all kinds of things in Yong Kingdom, Xiao Yan felt a little fear in his heart.

He admitted that he was afraid.

He was afraid that in the country of Yan, everything would happen again, and he was still the child who couldn't change anything.

Chu Yi keenly noticed that Xiao Yan was a little different today, she seemed to feel a bit of tension in him.

"Do you want Ben Gong to marry him?" After Chu Yi asked this sentence, her throat couldn't help but feel a little dry.

It didn't mean anything else, she knew that Xiao Yan liked her in the previous life, but he didn't necessarily like her now.

She just wanted to hear his answer.
