Chapter 175 Why don’t you call me husband first?

Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi helplessly. He was really not afraid of causing hatred by saying such words at this time.

"Get engaged?" Liu Zhaoran looked at Chu Huanyan in surprise, "Huanyan, you and His Highness the Crown Prince want to get engaged?"

Although she had heard many rumors before, she had never believed them. She never expected that Huanyan would actually be with His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Yes, we are going to get engaged." Chu Huanyan nodded, and then added, "If everything goes well."

"Of course it will go smoothly." Xiao Jinzhi walked into the elegant room and stood next to Chu Huanyan. "Even if someone really dares to stop it, I will definitely solve it."

Xiao Jinzhi's eyes were firm and dazzling.

Seeing the way he and Chu Huanyan looked at each other, Liu Zhaoran suppressed his surprise and felt a bit envious.

"It is really enviable that His Highness the Crown Prince can be so determined."

"Does Miss Liu really intend to follow your father's arrangement and terminate the engagement?" Xiao Jinzhi asked.

Pei Zhaoqing suddenly looked at Liu Zhaoran nervously.

Liu Zhaoran frowned, "I, I haven't thought it through yet, and if my father really wants to break off the engagement, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to stop it."

"If I don't agree, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion will never break off the engagement." Pei Zhaoqing said firmly, "My father is not in the imperial city now. Even if he comes back, I'm afraid he won't agree."

"You don't understand my father." Liu Zhaoran shook his head, "If he really makes up his mind, there are naturally ways to terminate this engagement. Instead of waiting for him to take action, it would be better..."

It would be better for them to take the initiative to terminate the engagement and avoid having to deal with Pei Zhaoqing's influence due to his father's plan.

"Zhaoran, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow, no, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet your father in person today. Since this marriage has been decided, no one can ask us to break off the engagement as long as you are not willing." Pei Zhaoqing said without thinking, "By the way, There’s also Brother Liu, I’ll ask him to help persuade your father.”

"No." Liu Zhaoran shook his head to stop Pei Zhaoqing, "His marriage is almost finalized. If we beg him at this time, I'm afraid it will put him in a dilemma."

The eldest brother almost never disobeyed his father's orders. Even when he decided to get married this time, he obeyed his father's arrangements. He could not be allowed to quarrel with her father for her sake.

"But..." Pei Zhaoqing choked. He understood Liu Zhaoran's considerations and concerns, but could it be possible to terminate the engagement according to Prime Minister Liu's wishes?

"How far has Liu Qianran's marriage progressed?" Xiao Jinzhi suddenly asked.

Liu Zhaoran replied: "Although there is no official engagement yet, we are already inseparable. It is estimated that the two parties will get engaged soon, and then the news will be announced to the public."

This also shows that his father does not have much time left for him and Pei Zhaoqing to break off their engagement.

"Since we haven't engaged yet, there is still room for return." Xiao Jinzhi chuckled, "Now there are two ways."

"What can I do?" Pei Zhaoqing asked quickly.

"The first way is to seize the time to make the marriage between you two more solid before they get engaged. For example... find a way to ask Father to grant the marriage. If there is a holy will, even if Prime Minister Liu wants to, there is no way to cancel it easily. engagement."

"A marriage grant..." Pei Zhaoqing thought quickly, "Although I can enter the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor, but I rashly asked him to grant a marriage... Or, I asked my father to come forward and inform him of the matter, and asked him to help write a book to invite the emperor. Decree to grant a marriage?" Chu Huanyan disagreed with this idea, shook her head and said: "Marquis Zhongyong is not in the imperial city now. Even if he rushes to deliver the letter, it will really waste time. And if he knows that the Liu family intends to ruin the marriage, I wonder if he will do it because of this. If you get angry and offend Marquis Zhongyong, I’m afraid the situation will be even more troublesome.”

What's more, the ministers who were far away at the border suddenly asked Emperor Xiao to grant a marriage to their son, and the marriage contract had been made before. This approach was really strange.

If Emperor Xiao was suspicious and sent someone to investigate and inquire, the Liu family would be pushed to the forefront, and Prime Minister Liu would be even more dissatisfied with Pei Zhaoqing.

"Huanyan is right, this method is really too difficult." Liu Zhaoran looked at Xiao Jinzhi again, "I wonder what the other method His Highness the Crown Prince mentioned is?"

"Find a way to stop your eldest brother's marriage, whether it's persuading your eldest brother or starting from Duke Shi's Mansion. As long as the marriage is not finalized in one day, Prime Minister Liu will not be impatient to ask you to terminate your engagement."

Prime Minister Liu is cunning and cunning. He will naturally not reject the good marriage in front of him in a hurry before another better marriage is settled.

Liu Zhaoran struggled for a long time, and when he finally left the teahouse, he decided to find a way to ask his eldest brother to see if there was still room for postponing or canceling the wedding.

"The two methods His Royal Highness just mentioned are just to help Pei Zhaoqing and Liu Zhaoran, or are they also selfish for you?"

On the carriage, Chu Huanyan still asked.

"Sure enough, you know my Yanyan can't help it." Xiao Jinzhi smiled leisurely, showing no dissatisfaction at all because Chu Huanyan doubted him.

"Be more serious." Chu Huanyan's eyes were slightly angry, but Xiao Jinzhi changed his tune quickly.

"It's both. If we really talk about which is more important, I still hope that Pei Zhaoqing can get his wish. I don't care who Liu Qianran marries, but if possible, I really hope that he can get married soon."

After all, he is a potential love rival, although according to Liu Qianran's temperament, it is impossible for him to abandon his responsibility as the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's Palace to please Huanyan.

But a love rival is a love rival, and it would be a great pleasure to watch his love rival get married as soon as possible.

"But if Liu Qianran really marries the legitimate daughter of Duke Shi, and he has taken refuge with the third prince, then he will be the bridge between Duke Shi and the third prince. Is His Highness really not worried?" Chu Huanyan asked.

"Shi Guogong always protects himself in court, for fear of making a mistake. For him, whether it is me or Xiao Rongxuan, as long as he is not completely sure, he will never take refuge in anyone. Even if he has a son-in-law. Bridges, no matter how hard you think about it, can't change his character of not letting go of hawks when they see rabbits."

What's more, he is just a future son-in-law for the time being.

"It seems that His Highness has thought clearly." Chu Huanyan looked away with a smile. In this case, she had nothing to worry about.

"Do you still want to call me Your Highness?" Xiao Jinzhi heard Chu Huanyan's title with a hint of dissatisfaction, "It sounds too unfamiliar. We are about to get engaged. Should we change our title?"

"What does Your Highness want to change?" Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Just call me by name? I'm afraid it's unreasonable."

Xiao Jinzhi is the prince after all. Not to mention that they are not engaged yet, even if they are really married, he should call him His Highness.

"Taisheng, why not..." Xiao Jinzhi lowered his voice, and his laughter contained a bit of bewilderment, "Why don't Yan Yan call me husband first and just treat it as a way to make me happy?"
