No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 167 Marriage Proposal! (two chapters in one)
Xie Chengyou followed Jingyuan's guards to the door of the study room, and the guards silently bowed their hands to him, then turned and left.

Xie Chengyou, who was left alone at the door, did not go in immediately, but stood at the door and meditated.

Since Xie Yan came back, Xie Chengyou only felt that his life in the Prince Regent's Mansion became less and less interesting.He can't be the master of anything in the Prince Regent's Mansion. It's better to say that he is an irrelevant person who lives in the Prince Regent's Mansion.

But now, Xie Chengyou had no confidence in his grandfather's original hope that he would become the heir of King Chu to inherit the title in the future.

It was really hard for him to believe that Xie Yan would give him such a chance.

"Come in." Through the door, Xie Yan's deep voice came out.

Xie Chengyou gave a jolt and then came back to his senses, quickly tidied up his appearance and walked in.

"Father." Xie Chengyou cupped his hands and bowed in salute.

Xie Yan put down the pen in his hand and looked at him. Under his gaze, Xie Chengyou felt a heavy pressure that made him almost out of breath.

But Xie Yan didn't speak, so he could only stand firm.

After a long time, I heard Xie Yan say: "What did the people from Prince Mu's Mansion tell you this morning?"

Xie Chengyou was startled, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

Xie Yan is sending someone to watch him!

"Father, I..."

Xie Yan said indifferently: "Your yard has been drilled like a sieve, how dare you discuss confidential matters there?"

Xie Chengyou's face was a little pale, he looked at Xie Yan and said in a low voice: "Father...grandfather, grandfather just sent someone over to ask about my studies, and didn't say anything."

"Xie Chengyou, to be honest, it's not difficult, right?" Xie Yan said.

Xie Chengyou clenched his teeth, his face became paler.

Xie Yan didn't care, and nodded slightly, "Then, why did you come to see me today?"

Xie Chengyou didn't answer. If Xie Yan hadn't asked Cai just now, he could have continued to make sidelines according to the original plan.

But now...he felt that as long as he asked, it might be a big joke in Xie Yan's eyes.

"If you don't want to say it, go back." Xie Yan said: "Also, tell the people in Prince Mu's Mansion to calm down. Next time, let me know what they should not say in Prince Chu's Mansion, and you will bear the consequences."

Xie Chengyou's face became more gloomy, looking at the handsome and imposing man sitting behind the desk, and thinking of the news that his grandfather sent to tell him before, Xie Chengyou only felt dizzy and had a splitting headache.

"Father, you... you want to marry Luo Junyao?" Finally, some questioning words came out of Xie Chengyou's mouth.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was so annoyed that he wanted to bite off his tongue.

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

Xie Chengyou said: "How can you marry her?!"

Xie Yan looked at him calmly and said nothing, Xie Chengyou became more and more annoyed, "Father, you know it! You know her..." Xie Chengyou never imagined that one day Luo Junyao could become the princess of Chu.

Be your own titular mother! !
It's going crazy!This was Xie Chengyou's first reaction when he heard the news.

The grandfather's people also said that the Empress Dowager deliberately matched these two people. Doesn't the Empress Dowager mind other people's comments?
Xie Yan can marry anyone, why should he marry Luo Junyao? !
"How is she?" Xie Yan asked.

Xie Chengyou gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words angrily, "She treated me..."

A somewhat abrupt sound of wind broke through the air, Xie Chengyou only heard a whoosh, the invisible strong wind had already brushed against his face, and cut off a section of hair near his ear.

The cold and sharp touch as if a real sword had passed by made Xie Chengyou stiffen instantly in fright, and he only remembered to reach out his hand to cover his face reflexively.

Looking up, he met Xie Yan's indifferent eyes, "You better forget about the past."

"But..." Xie Chengyou still wanted to say something unwillingly.

But Xie Yan said coldly: "Do you want to disobey this king?"

Xie Chengyou hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not."

Xie Yan said: "It's fine if you don't dare, step back. Don't forget to bring this king's words to the people in Prince Mu's residence."

Xie Chengyou exited the study unsteadily, and stood outside the study for a long time before being blown by the cold wind before finally recovering, and thought belatedly: "What Xie Yan means...is he really going to marry Luo Junyao? !"

Looking back at the study behind him, Xie Chengyou couldn't move his legs and turned around to ask for clarification.He had no choice but to grit his teeth, turn around and head out of Jingyuan.

A major event suddenly happened in the peaceful Shangyong Imperial City today. Princess Taihua, who had not been in Shangyong for many years, suddenly returned to Beijing.

Not only that, after Princess Taihua returned to Beijing, she immediately went to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, and then the Prince Regent's Mansion and Princess Changling also came to visit Princess Dachang.

This is obviously not an ordinary thing. When people were guessing why Princess Taihua returned to Beijing suddenly, Princess Taihua went to Luo's house with people and generous gifts on the third day after returning to Beijing.

It was the first time for Princess Taihua to visit the dignitaries of the capital in person after returning to Beijing. Naturally, it would not be an ordinary visit, but to propose marriage to the Luo family on behalf of His Royal Highness the Regent.

Princess Taihua and her party had just entered Luo's mansion, and the news had already spread to half of the inner city, blowing the heads of all the dignitaries in Shangyong.

Xie Yan... wants to marry Luo Yun's daughter? !
Except for a very few families who have already made up their minds, it is obvious that most of the rich and powerful families in Shangyong today are not very safe.

Luo Junyao happened to not have to go to the academy today, and she was sorting out a thick file in the study when the girl came to invite her.

"Princess Taihua?" Luo Junyao raised his head in surprise, the name was very unfamiliar.

Not to mention Luo Junyao, I am afraid that most of the noble ladies in Shangyonghuang City will feel strange, almost none of them have seen this eldest princess.

The eldest girl of the Su family smiled and said: "That's right, Madam asked the girl to change her clothes and go to Rong Le Hall to meet the eldest princess. Today, not only the eldest princess is here, but also Princess Changling, and Mrs. Lingchuan Hou is also here. Come together."

Luo Junyao remembered what his mother had told him before, his pretty face blushed and his heart beat faster, nodded and said, "I see."

In the Rongle Hall, Mrs. Luo and Princess Taihua sat at the top of the chair, while Mrs. Su, Luo Yun, Princess Changling and Mrs. Lingchuanhou all sat at the bottom.

As for the brothers Luo Jinyan and Luo Jinxing, they can only be further behind.

Princess Taihua is an old man with gray hair in her 70s. Although she is very old and her face is full of wrinkles, her eyes are still very bright.She has a kind and calm demeanor. If you meet her in other places, you may regard her as an amiable and ordinary old lady.

Princess Taihua looked at Luo Yun with a smile and said, "General Luo, we haven't seen each other for nearly ten years."

Luo Yun nodded and smiled, "Yes, I haven't seen you in ten years, and the eldest princess is still in good spirits."

Princess Taihua shook her head and smiled and said, "I'm old, and I can't compare to you in your prime. However, this time passes quickly... In a blink of an eye, it's time for you to talk about the marriage of your children. It's a pity that I don't have a granddaughter, otherwise it will be expensive." I want to snatch these two sons-in-law of the mansion to be my grandson-in-law."

Madam Lingchuan Hou smiled and said: "Princess, please don't say that, there are countless people in Shangyong City who are staring at the two sons of the Luo family. If there is another one you come to rob someone, others will How about it?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, but Luo Jinxing next to him couldn't help but blush a little.

Then look at Luo Jinyan who is also sitting on the side, his expression is calm and calm, as if the female elders present are not talking about their marriage.

Luo Jinxing couldn't help secretly envious of his elder brother's determination in his heart.

Princess Taihua smiled and said, "Although I don't have a granddaughter, I am fortunate to have a nephew. Today, I was entrusted by the Empress Dowager and Zhifei to ask the General to marry your daughter. Zhifei's child and the General are also considered Acquaintances, who know the bottom line, I hope the general will not dislike him. If the general thinks there is something wrong with him, just tell me, and I will let him change it when I go back!"

Now that he has decided to accept this marriage, Luo Yun will naturally not say anything dissatisfied with Xie Yan in front of Princess Taihua.

"The eldest princess is serious. The regent has a noble character and outstanding achievements. I have nothing to worry about."

Hearing that the three honored guests present were all relieved, and only with Luo Yun's personal promise, could this marriage be considered a real deal.

Princess Taihua was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Zhi Fei, that child was also raised by me. Don't worry, General Luo, he will definitely not wrong your girl."

Mrs. Luo, who was sitting next to Princess Taihua, wanted to say something, but she held back her thoughts.

Although distinguished guests came to the door today, Mrs. Luo was not happy, she just felt that she was out of place in this scene.

Previously, Princess Taihua exchanged a few words with Mrs. Luo, but she was a person who had experienced all her life, so she soon realized that this old lady was not capable of doing anything.

After exchanging pleasantries, the rest of the conversation was directly with Luo Yun and Su Shi.

At this moment, the girl outside came in and told, "Second Miss is here."

Su smiled and said, "Second Miss, please come in."

The girl went out in response, and Luo Junyao walked in slowly after a while.

Even though he came out to meet distinguished guests, Luo Junyao didn't deliberately dress up.It's just that there are two more beaded flower hairpins than usual, and the hair is tied in a small bun that noble girls love, and they have changed into a set of light blue clothes, which looks refreshing and elegant yet smart and pretty.

"Jun Yao has met the eldest princess of Taihua, the eldest princess of Changling, and Mrs. Lingchuanhou." Luo Junyao entered the Rongle Hall and saluted respectfully.

Then they greeted Mrs. Luo, Luo Yun and Mrs. Su respectively.

Princess Taihua looked at the pretty and delicate girl in front of her, and couldn't help but narrow her eyes with a smile.

"Good boy, your name is Jun Yao?"

Luo Junyao responded crisply: "Yes, my minister Luo Junyao."

Princess Taihua nodded, turned her head to Luo Yun and said: "The general has a good daughter, look at this girl... I haven't seen such a beautiful little girl for many years."

Princess Changling also smiled and said, "Auntie, let me tell you, Jun Yao is a rare beauty, you still don't believe me."

Princess Taihua said: "When did I stop believing? How can the girl from the Luo family be so bad? Girl, come to me."

Luo Junyao walked to Princess Taihua, "Princess?"

Princess Taihua withdrew a bracelet from her wrist, took Luo Junyao's hand and put it on her wrist, and said with a smile: "This was given to me by Emperor Gaozu when I was canonized as a princess. Now I'm getting old, and you little girls still look good with these bright things."

"Here, Princess Dachang..." Even if Luo Junyao didn't study these things carefully, he knew that the imperial gift from Emperor Gaozu was definitely a precious thing.

Princess Taihua pressed her hand to prevent her from taking it off, and said with a smile: "Take it, this is also a gift for my future nephew and daughter-in-law. Or is it that Jun Yao thinks this bracelet is not good?"

Luo Jun shook her pretty face and blushed hurriedly, saying that she didn't dare, and turned her head to look at Su's next to her.

Su Shi nodded slightly towards her, and Luo Junyao said: "Jun Yao thanked the eldest princess."

"That's good." Princess Taihua said with a smile, "I like lively and bright girls the most. Jun Yao may as well come to my house to play when you are free. We will be a family from now on, don't be polite."

Luo Junyao thanked again in a low voice.

Princess Taihua also knew that the little girl was thin-skinned, so she stopped mentioning this matter soon, and just pulled Luo Junyao to sit beside her, continuing to talk to Luo Yun and the others.

On one side of the Luo family, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves happily, but on the other side, the atmosphere in Prince Mu's Mansion was so gloomy that it was about to drip out of water.

King Mu angrily led people into the small courtyard where Princess Mu lived, and kicked open the door of the Buddhist hall without anyone telling anyone.

Princess Mu, who was chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, was startled, and she fell on the futon with a crooked body.

When she saw that it was King Mu who came in, she couldn't help but feel a little more joy on her face, and quickly got up to greet her, "My lord, why are you here?"

Although Princess Mu is nearly fifty years old, her face looks as if she is only in her 30s, and she also has a beautiful face that can be called peerless.Such a beauty greeted her so tenderly, most men in this world would probably be overwhelmed by flattery, let alone harden their hearts to break her heart.

However, King Mu seems to be really hard-hearted, turning a blind eye to Princess Mu's joyful tenderness and stunning appearance.

Raising his hand, he waved away the hand that Princess Mu stretched out to grab his sleeve, and King Mu said coldly, "Do you know what your son did?!"

Concubine Mu looked at a loss, and said in a somewhat dull tone: "Zhifei...what's wrong? Did he, make the prince angry again?"

King Mu snorted coldly, glanced disgustedly at the Buddhist hall filled with a faint sandalwood fragrance and turned around, "Speak in another place!"

Concubine Mu lowered her head resentfully, and silently followed.

When she walked out of the door, she suddenly heard a sneer, Princess Mu looked up and saw the woman who was following King Mu looking back at her mockingly.

Princess Mu couldn't help lowering her head, her knuckles holding the handkerchief turned white from too much force.

That was Prince Mu's side concubine, Xie Heng's biological mother, and Xie Chengyou's grandmother.

Mu Wang's side concubine is actually not a very beautiful woman, at least she is far worse than Mu Wang's concubine.

However, no one knew what was the reason. King Mu had spoiled her for decades, and he was not only indifferent to his wife who was once known as one of the twin sisters of Dongling, he could be called abandoned.

A group of people entered the flower hall and sat down, and Princess Mu asked timidly: "My lord, Zhifei...what's wrong?"

As soon as King Xie Yanmu was mentioned, he was instantly furious. He slapped the table next to him fiercely, and said angrily, "How dare you ask him what's wrong! He wants to marry Luo Yun's daughter!"

"What?" Princess Mu was a little stunned. She had been locked in the courtyard for decades and ignored the outside affairs. In fact, she couldn't immediately understand whether it was good or bad for Xie Yan to marry Luo Yun's daughter.

only……

"Does the lord not want Zhifei to marry?" Princess Mu asked softly.

King Mu sneered and said, "How can I control him? He didn't even say anything to my father, so he invited Princess Taihua to the Luo family to propose marriage!"

"This..." Princess Mu hesitated a little, since Xie Yan came over to get angry at her last time, she never visited her again.

Maybe she didn't feel anything before, but after Xie Yan returned to the capital five years later, Princess Mu knew that she was actually a little afraid of this son.

The side concubine sitting next to King Mu hurriedly said: "Sister, the lord also wants to know the truth. That girl from the Luo family is really not good. Knowing that the king is the regent, you can't marry such a girl."

Hearing the side concubine call her elder sister, Princess Mu's eyes flashed with anger but she didn't dare to explode in front of King Mu, "What's wrong?"

The side concubine snorted softly and said, "I don't know if my sister doesn't walk around outside. That girl has a bad reputation. Besides, that girl has been chasing Xuan Yu before, and now she is going to marry into Chu Palace again. Wouldn't she live together as mother and child?" Embarrassing? At that time, outsiders still don't know how to arrange it?"

Xie Chengyou's expression on the side also became very ugly, obviously thinking of what the side concubine said.

After hearing this, the concubine looked at the cold-faced King Mu and said without thinking, "Then just tell Zhifei that he won't marry that girl."

The side concubine lowered her eyes, concealing the contemptuous smile in her eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "My sister is really virtuous to think about the prince and Zhifei. But where is Zhifei..."

Princess Mu turned her head to look at King Mu. King Mu said coldly, "Go and tell him that Prince Chu's mansion must never marry the Luo family! I will never recognize this daughter-in-law!"

Concubine Mu was a little embarrassed, but she felt very wronged when she saw her husband's indifferent expression, "Zhifei...I'm afraid he won't listen to me. Last time...he was a little angry."

King Mu became even more angry when he heard the words, "You can't even control a son! What use are you!"

Concubine Mu was frightened by his sudden reprimand and took two steps back hastily. Fortunately, she was supported by the nanny behind her so she didn't fall, "My lord, my lord..."

"..." King Mu didn't feel distressed at all when he saw the beauty cry, he just felt agitated.

A woman who is almost 50 years old, does she think she is still a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old?
Hypocritical!

King Mu looked at Princess Mu indifferently and said, "I don't care what method you use, Xie Yan will never marry a girl from the Luo family! If you can't do it, you will stay in the courtyard for the rest of your life."

Concubine Mu felt bitter, last time she even said the words that threatened her own life, Zhifei didn't soften her heart at all.

Thinking of the ruthlessness of her husband and son, Princess Mu just wanted to find a place to cry bitterly.

Why is her life so hard?

The side concubine looked at Princess Mu with disdain in her heart.

If Yao Yun didn't have a good appearance and a good family background, how could it be her turn to be Princess Mu?Even if the Yao family fell, she still had a good son, so King Mu still didn't dare to touch her.

Just like that, she still felt that her fate was miserable. Did those people who were truly miserable have to live?

"Sister, the prince was also very angry for a while, and he didn't want to get angry at you." The side concubine persuaded softly, "It's just that this matter really affects the face of our Mu Palace and Chu Palace. Think about it, if the second girl of the Luo family really How can others laugh at Zhi Fei and Xuan Yu? Even if they are not father and son, they are also uncles and nephews, this principle of ethics must always be talked about."

Xie Heng next to him also persuaded: "Princess, mother is right. If you don't say anything else, if this thing really happens, father and king may have no face to walk around in the imperial city. Even if you have been doing it all these years Don't walk around outside, you always have to attend Zhifei's wedding, right? When the time comes...do you think what other people will say about us?"

"This..." Princess Mu looked at King Mu, lowered her head and whispered, "I will tell Zhifei."

"What are you talking about?" Xie Yan's voice suddenly sounded at the door, and before he finished speaking, he had already appeared at the door.

He was wearing a black golden python robe, and his hair was tied with a jade crown. It was obvious that he had just come out of the palace.

Xie Yan was tall and slender, and his momentum was even more astonishing.Obviously the gate of the flower hall is not narrow, but when he stops there, it seems to block the entire gate.

Mu Wang's face was gloomy, and he said angrily: "Who let him in?! Are there any rules!"

The guards of Prince Mu's Mansion who followed Xie Yan felt bitter, fell to their knees with a plop and dared not speak.

How dare they stop His Royal Highness the Regent?

Xie Yan ignored King Mu's anger and stepped into the flower hall.

Glancing around the crowd, he finally turned his gaze to Xie Chengyou who was standing behind Xie Heng, chuckled softly, and Xie Yancai said indifferently, "What does my father want to say to this king?"
