Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 131 The Princess Gets Married
Not long after Xiang Yingxue returned to the palace, everyone in Yongchun City knew about the emperor's marriage to General Anguo, and even the wedding date was made public.

She even appeared hand in hand with Zhou Jing in markets, restaurants, teahouses, and various aristocratic banquets.

Xiang Junhao turned out to be the last person to know about this.

"When did I grant the marriage to you and Zhou Jing? You should tell me!"

Xiang Yingxue lowered her head, a hint of stubbornness appeared in the corner of her mouth: "If there is a holy purpose, my father must not deny it!"

"Imperial decree? Where did it come from? Why didn't I know about it?"

Xiang Yingxue raised her head, fluttering her eyelashes, trying to persuade her father one last time.

"Father, if my daughter is not wrong, Murong Chen has already started preparing to attack Chu when he returned to Beiyan. In the past hundred years, Chu State has emphasized civil affairs and neglected martial arts, and there are fewer and fewer generals who can fight. Zhou Jing is currently The only general who can compete with King Chen, by marrying your daughter to him is to win the heart of the general at a critical moment!"

However, Xiang Junhao didn't listen at all to this sincere truth.

All he knew was that his dignity had been offended and he was angry.

"I'm asking you, where did the imperial edict come from? Why don't I know it?"

He was so angry that he waved his hand, and the top-quality inkstone on the desk fell down with a bang.

Xiang Yingxue was not afraid, but raised her head slightly, looked directly into her father's eyes, and said word by word:

"As you said, my daughter falsely conveyed the imperial edict with General Anguo?"

Xiang Junhao had never seen his daughter look like this. Her eyes were like sharp swords, piercing people's hearts.

His hands under the desk actually shook slightly.

However, he is the leader of a country and the father of the little girl in front of him, so his majesty was quickly restored.

"Since you know that you are falsely preaching the imperial edict, you must also know the consequences!"

Xiang Yingxue looked at him seriously: "What are the consequences?"

His daughter's calm question actually stunned him.

Yes, what are the consequences?

False preaching of imperial edicts has always been a capital crime.

If he is investigated, his daughter will definitely be killed, and Zhou Jing will be killed at the same time.

But although Xiang Yingxue is not a son, he is far better than all the sons.She holds in her hands the Chu State's farmers, merchants, and military equipment, and even a large number of strangers who are devoted to her.

Not to mention Zhou Jing.

The Anguo Hou Mansion itself had a certain degree of power in the court, and Zhou Jing held the power of the National Guard Army, and the officers and soldiers in the army swore allegiance to him.

If the pressure is severe and these two people join forces, their throne may not be secure.

It was also for this reason that he was reluctant to let his daughter marry into the Zhou family.

Now I am so angry that I have forgotten this level of stakes.

Xiang Junhao's tone became gentle: "Xue'er, you know that no matter how cruel my father is, he is reluctant to punish you."

He got down from the throne and helped Xiang Yingxue up with his own hands.

"It's just that if you and Zhou Jing are in love, you can tell your father, why would you do something like falsely pass on the imperial edict."

Xiang Yingxue didn't say anything, but she felt aggrieved in her heart.

When she first returned to the palace, she also wanted to ask her mother and eldest brother to help her tell her father about the marriage.

But my father always said that he was too busy and Xueer was still young, so we would discuss it later.

However, the spies reported back and forth, saying that the emperor father had sent people to Yangcheng to invite the emperor's uncle to the palace to discuss the marriage between the princess and Zhou Jing.

She was worried that the princess had issued an imperial decree before her marriage, so she hurriedly spread the false imperial decree everywhere, with the purpose of forcing the emperor to recognize the marriage as soon as possible.

Seeing that his daughter was silent, Xiang Junhao knew that he had no other choice but to agree to them.

He took Xiang Yingxue's hand and said, "You have been stubborn since you were a child, and no one can change the things you do."

Xiang Yingxue's eyes lit up: "Did the father promise his daughter?"

"If you don't agree, will I still be willing to punish you?"

"Father, you are so kind!"

Xiang Yingxue happily wrapped her arms around Xiang Junhao's neck like she did when she was a child.

But a complicated light flashed in Xiang Junhao's eyes.
