What Murong Jin said was still as usual with a calm smile, which made people feel like a spring breeze.But Shen Peiyao, who was walking towards him, visibly froze. She looked at the man, her big watery eyes filled with tears of sorrow.

She stood there neither advancing nor retreating, she could only look at Murong Jin helplessly and then turned to look at the Queen Mother.

The queen mother is naturally angry, but she is not easy to get angry, so she can only suppress her anger and say: "Of course the Ai family knows the prince's feelings for the nine girls, but the marriage contract between the prince and Yao'er was made by the previous emperor, and the prince can't let it go." Ignore the late emperor's will."

Murong Jin was still drinking the wine gracefully, and after a while he continued casually: "It was the emperor's will that Miss Shen marry me when she is of marriageable age, and there has always been a law in my dynasty that clearly says that a woman who is over 20 years old is not allowed to marry me." It is illegal to get married, and her parents and brothers will go to jail for her. Miss Shen is probably already past the marriageable age, so if I don't marry her, how can I be disregarding the late emperor's will?"

The queen mother was stunned, and it took a long time to react, and said with a sneer: "It is true that the first emperor said that he would marry you when Yao'er reached the age of marriage, but Yao'er is filial and can't bear to leave Shen Guogong sick alone, isn't it true? Did you tell the prince? How can the prince refuse the marriage contract with Yao'er just because of this kind of thing?"

Murong Jin smiled and said: "Yes, I know that Miss Shen is filial, so whether she wants to stay with Duke Shen for a few more years or be filial for Duke Shen, I don't stop her, but the engagement was indeed broken when she was 20 years old."

"My lord, this..."

"Empress Dowager!" Murong Jin rarely interrupted the Empress Dowager in public. The smile on his face was as calm as ever, but there was unquestionable firmness in his calm eyes, "Let's put it this way, even if I and Ms. Shen has a marriage contract first, and now I will not fulfill it. I said, I want to marry Yun Qinghuan, and no one else. If Ms. Shen feels that I am sorry for her, I apologize here, but only That's all."

Murong Jin's words have reached this point, even if the queen mother wants to help Shen Peiyao, she can't speak up.She winked at Shen Peiyao and told her to step back first, but Shen Peiyao stood there motionless.

She kept staring at Murong Jin. She had been thinking about that face day and night for the past three years, and finally after these three years, she thought that nothing could stop her from marrying this man, but once she returned to Beijing, she Only then did I know that her fiancé was going to marry another woman.

She has no father and no mother, and the only elder is the queen mother in the palace, so she hurried into the palace to find the queen mother to help her decide.Fortunately, the queen mother is on her side. They came here day and night, and she finally met the man she had been thinking about day and night, but not only did he not marry her, he even humiliated her in public!

In fact, even if she was humiliated, she could bear it, but she couldn't bear that her fiancé cared so much about other women.

She was married to this man when she was 13 years old. At that time, this man was the sky in her eyes. She adored him and admired him, and she didn't even dare to approach him.He was not close to her, but gentle.She has been very satisfied, because she will live with this man for the rest of her life.This way she is already very satisfied!

But now she knows that this man is different from what she thought. It turns out that he also has a side that cares about a woman so much that he wants to let everyone in the world know that he likes Yun Qinghuan. Do not want any.

She couldn't describe the pain in Shen Peiyao's heart, but she couldn't help laughing, and then slowly took out the scissors she had prepared from her sleeve, and said lightly: "My lord is right, I ruined it. The marriage contract comes first, so I can’t blame the lord. My parents and brothers will go to jail if I don’t get married at the age of 20. Unfortunately, I don’t have parents and brothers, and I don’t want to go to jail. So starting today, I will cut off my marriage, which can be regarded as my own punishment. "As she spoke, she grabbed the scissors and cut off her black hair under the exclamation of everyone.

When the second cut was made, the queen mother had already ordered someone to go up and snatch the scissors from her hand, and she even rushed down and took Shen Peiyao into her arms, crying, "You silly girl, this is Why bother? You are the niece of the Ai family, even if the lord does not marry you, the Ai family will make decisions for you and help you find a good family. Why are you so reluctant?"

Shen Peiyao tried her best not to let herself cry. She buried her face tightly in the Queen Mother's chest, "Auntie, don't stop me, okay? Since I received the imperial decree of marriage at the age of 13, There is no other man in my life. Now the prince doesn't want me anymore, I would rather stay with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng and die alone, and I will definitely not marry anyone else."

Seeing Shen Peiyao being so determined, the queen mother felt even more reluctant, she sighed helplessly, "Silly girl, since you are so determined, Aijia has no choice but to put down this old face and beg the prince for you." Let go of Shen Peiyao, and turned to Murong Jin and said: "My lord, Yao'er has already made up her mind that you will not marry her. If my lord insists on not marrying her, wouldn't you force her family? Our Shen family has only this bloodline. Can the prince marry Yao'er for the sake of the Ai family? The Ai family knows the prince's thoughts on the nine girls, why don't we just marry the two together, both of them will be princesses, regardless of who is superior, okay?"

This condition should already be very good. Marrying two beauties at once can be regarded as enjoying the blessing of being equal.Therefore, everyone present felt that the queen mother's proposal was desirable, and even the emperor, who had never been in troubled waters, began to persuade Murong Jin.

However, Murong Jin stood up leisurely, walked in front of Shen Peiyao, and said with a gentle smile: "Ms. Shen, why must I not marry? If I remember correctly, the number of times I have met with Ms. Shen can be counted on the fingers, and what I have said is more important." It's very rare. Miss Shen knows me so much that she decides not to marry me? Isn't such a decision too hasty?"

Shen Peiyao's hand was tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, but she didn't dare to look up at that man. She is the daughter of Shen Guogong's family, the niece of the empress dowager, and she was once hailed as the most talented woman in the capital. So disregarding face, embarrassing yourself so much for a man?

But, she really couldn't live without such a man!

Murong Jin didn't seem to see her embarrassment, and said leisurely: "If Miss Shen simply feels that it is shameful to ruin the engagement, you can ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict, saying that I am not worthy of Miss Shen, so the engagement Cancel."
