Chapter 131 Postponing the engagement
The queen actually has a good impression of Ye Zheng.
He is handsome, has a strong martial arts skills, and has a unique temperament.
Moreover, she was reserved about rumors outside. She had been in the harem for so many years, and her ability to fight had reached the point of perfection. Naturally, it was obvious that the emperor had arranged Ye Zheng to join Jiandusi.
So after Ye Zheng joined Jiandusi, he did so many seemingly ostentatious things, but in fact every step was a result of careful consideration. Especially in the last step, he forced Zhou Xianheng to compete in front of everyone, which made Zhou Xianheng difficult to get on the verge of the tiger and had to agree, which led to the fact that he later defeated Zhou Xianheng and recovered Jiandusi.
At first, even the queen thought that Ye seemed to be a little aggressive, but after the competition, she realized that she had strong confidence in her own strength.
Therefore, in terms of comprehensive force, wisdom and appearance, Queen Ye Zheng's score is very high. And she had a vague premonition that Ye seemed not as simple as it seemed. If Jin Yang could really marry him and gain his recognition, he might have a different bright future.
"I have seen the Empress." Ye Zheng bowed to the Queen.
The queen nodded and smiled and said, "Fan Aiqing, please calm down."
"Empress Xie."
"Come here and sit down." The queen pointed to a seat facing Jinyang on the lower left.
"Yes." Ye Zheng did not refuse, and walked to that position and sat down.
Ying Yue had already called "My Mother" and consciously ran to Jinyang to sit down.
"It's big or small." The queen glared at Ying Yue. Ying Yue knew that the queen was not angry either. She stuck out her tongue, grabbed the dessert on the table and started eating. She had just been playing in the imperial garden for a long time and was obviously a little hungry.
When Jinyang saw Ye Zheng coming in, he kept tilting his head and not looking at him. Even if he was facing him now, he would not give him a good look. Ye Zheng was too lazy to touch his cold butt, and he didn't even say hello, pretending not to see her.
"Empress, I have something to ask for today." Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment and then said.
"What's the matter?"
"It's about engagement."
Before Ye Zheng could speak, Jin Yang suddenly stood up and said coldly: "Fan Wei, you have your heart to die. I will not marry you!"
The queen frowned and looked at Jinyang, and angrily scolded: "How do you say it! Whether you marry or not is not your final say! Why don't you apologize to Lord Fan quickly!"
The queen has also put a good intention. Now that the emperor told the engagement between the two people, it must have been spread now. The wood has been completed. Even if Jinyang doesn't want to marry, it will be impossible for him to lose the royal face and the emperor's face.
The queen can only try to ease the relationship between the two, at least to make Jinyang feel better after marriage.
Ye Zheng smiled indifferently and said, "Princess Jinyang is still young, so the queen doesn't have to blame her more."
"Hypocritical!" Jinyang doesn't like Ye Zheng now, so even if Ye is defending her, she is very unhappy.
The queen glared over again. Just as she was about to speak, Ye Zheng spoke first: "Empress, what I want to ask for is whether I can get rid of this engagement."
"What?" The queen suddenly looked over in shock.
She never expected Ye Zheng to say such words, not to mention the political purpose of the marriage between Jinyang and Ye Zheng, even Princess Jinyang's appearance is the image of his wife that many men in the world dream of, but now Ye Zheng wants to refuse!
Ye Zheng has seen many beautiful appearances. Although Jinyang is beautiful, his temperament is far worse than that of the women in the cultivation world that Ye Zheng has seen. Not to mention Su Liuli, who ranks first in Ye Zheng's heart, she can't compare with Jingyan and Chu Yiyi, so Ye Zheng is not very reluctant to leave.
When Jinyang heard Ye Zheng's words, he felt that he should have been surprised. He was surprised, but he felt a sense of loss in his heart. On the one hand, this loss was a rebellious mentality. He felt that you, an ordinary person, have the right to refuse a princess who is favored by the whole world. On the other hand, it was because his favorite Zhou Xianheng was defeated by him, and he always felt that his idol was destroyed. Since he moved some love to Ye Zheng, she might feel that this love was disgusting, but in fact it was not.
The queen frowned and sighed, "Mr. Fan, you should be very clear about the reason for your marriage."
Of course, Ye Zheng knew that the marriage between the two was entirely a political purpose, and if he refused, it would definitely be impossible.
So Ye Zheng’s purpose was to ask for a price everywhere and pay the money on the spot. “Empress, since she cannot refuse, can she postpone the engagement?”
"Supply the engagement?" The Queen looked at him in surprise. Isn't the result the same?
Of course, Ye Zheng would not tell her that she was not Fan Wei, and that the purpose of coming here was to eliminate the evil demons. When the time comes, he would just escape. Whoever the willful princess likes to marry has nothing to do with her.
"How long do you want to postpone it?"
"At least a year later." Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment. This year should be enough for him to find the evil demon.
A year later, Princess Jinyang was only seventeen years old, but she was not old. She should be fine with this busyness. The queen nodded and said, "I promised you."
"Thank you, Empress!" Ye Zheng said with a smile.
Jinyang suddenly stopped talking, his head lowered with his eyes flashing, not knowing what he was thinking.
...
The news that the emperor gave marriage to the son of the Fan family spread wildly, making all officials who were in the Qingyang officialdom understand one thing: the emperor wants to win over the Fan family and suppress the Zhou family.
Therefore, in order to cater to the general trend, some fence-bearing officials quickly prepared generous gifts and hurried to visit Marshal Fan with their servants.
The originally deserted Fan Mansion has been particularly lively these days. Countless officials of fourth rank and above and some status rushed to come to visit and give gifts. Fan Lian must have refused these gifts, but he couldn't resist the gifts and left immediately after the gifts were given.
Looking at the mountain of gifts piled up at home, Fan Lian shook his head helplessly.
I remember that I returned from victory back then, and the people who came to the door were like leeks, one after another. Later, after I handed over the military power, no one came again.
It is indeed human nature to curb the inflammation and possess the power.
