"For the sake of my mother and concubine, my children cannot marry far away." Ximen Wan blurted out.
"How do you say this?" Ximen Xianchu asked in a calm voice, making it sound like he was a kind father talking to his daughter.
"Because -" Ximen Wan paused. She just protested the emperor without thinking, not because she was so bold and dared to resist the decree, but because the timing of her marriage was not right at this time. She was about to investigate her mother's concubine.
matter, so she couldn't go to Yuehua Country and couldn't accept this marriage.
Ximen Wan knew that as a princess, she had no choice but to marry whomever she wanted, but as long as her mother-in-law was involved, her emotions would get out of control. She had always been obedient and obedient, so she had the courage to resist the decree in front of the ministers.
However, Ximen Wan couldn't express this reason and stopped himself when he almost blurted it out again.
Only then did Ximen Wan understand why she was the only princess attending the banquet held for Prince Wushan. She originally thought it was just because of the Queen Mother's great love for her, but she didn't expect that she would also be the protagonist of the banquet.
"Because I still want to go to the grave of my mother and concubine every year to worship, I am reluctant to leave my mother and concubine, and I am also reluctant to leave my father." Ximen Wan said sincerely, "If I have to get married, I am willing to choose a prince-in-law in the capital.
, please father not to let your sons and daughters marry far away from home."
"Haha, it turns out that's the reason for the princess." After hearing Ximen Wan's words, Wu Shan stood up and said with a smile, "It's natural for people to be homesick, but Wu Shan is willing to use a gentle heart to resolve the princess's loneliness. Wu Shan married the princess because of
The two countries are good neighbors and friendly, and the princess knows that her righteousness will be praised by both countries. Wouldn't it make the departed Concubine Rong even more happy under the Nine Springs?"
"If my mother-in-law were alive, she would not let me marry you!" Ximen Wan turned to Wu Shan and said unceremoniously, tears welling up in his eyes involuntarily. If his mother-in-law were here, he would definitely speak for her.
But now - Ximen Wan turned his pleading eyes to the Queen Mother.
"Marry as you wish, don't force yourself." The Queen Mother twirled her prayer beads and recited.
No one knew whether she was talking about Wu Shan or Ximen Wan. She spent the whole day meditating and chanting Buddhism in Chumin Palace without expressing any opinions. Even though she doted on Ximen Wan a little, she made him happy with the situation. Because of this
, she had to have some peace and quiet.
Su Ranhua naturally understood the biggest concern in Ximen Wan's heart. Looking at the young girl kneeling in the middle, as frail as a grass blowing in the wind. Although her body was only eighteen years old, she had
It is the heart of a person in his twenties, tempered by many experiences in the world.
After coming to this world, without the order of the organization, Su Ranhua gradually allowed himself to shed his identity as a killer, and he became more like an ordinary person.
She thought that she should help Ximen wait a little longer at this time.
"Father!" Su Ranhua thought of it, and as soon as the voice fell, he walked towards the palace and knelt beside Ximen Wan.
"What's the matter with you?" Ximen Xian asked in a serious voice. Although he looked like a loving father, Ximen Wan's actions had already angered him. He was just used to hiding it. At this time, Su Ranhua stood up again without knowing what was going on.
.
"Father, this news is too sudden for Princess Wan. Maybe Father wants to give everyone a surprise, but when Princess Wan thinks about leaving the capital and going to Yuehua Kingdom, she will inevitably feel the panic of losing her loved ones. Why not give it first?
Princess Wan, please calm down and get along with the prince more during these days in the capital. I think that, just as the prince said, he will show a tender heart and be able to influence the princess." After Su Ranhua finished speaking, he secretly felt for himself
Sweating, she didn't know how much room for negotiation Ximen Xianchu had.
Ximen Xianchu stared at Su Ranhua. He was well aware of Su Ranhua's courage and was not surprised that she dared to stand up and speak. He knew that she was using a delaying strategy.
"What Princess Bei said is reasonable, but I did not take the princess's feelings into consideration. I will leave this matter to you. You must make the princess happily agree to the marriage before Prince Wushan leaves the capital." Ximen Xianchu did not.
He left room for Su Ranhua, but instead threw the problem to her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Ranhua kowtowed and thanked her. This was the answer she expected. She didn't expect Ximen Xianchu to give in. She just bought time for Ximen Wan. If she could get married without worries,
,Will suffice.
The banquet continued, Ximen Wan excused himself from the banquet early due to feeling unwell, while Su Ranhua said he wanted to accompany the princess, and with Ximen Xianchu's consent, he also left the banquet.
Ximen Hao watched what was happening in the palace idly, and looked on coldly at Su Ranhua's attitude as if he was ignoring him.
He knew that today's Princess Bei had already caused a sensation among the ministers, and he no longer had to bear the joke of being forced to get married. Judging from Su Luocheng's expression, he was also unfamiliar with Su Ran's paintings, so he must have been painted by Su Ran.
The move also surprised him.
This made Ximen Hao even more curious, what kind of woman was Su Ranhua?
"You know I won't agree to marry into the Yuehua Kingdom, so why do I have to wade into this troubled waters?"
After leaving the Zhaohe Hall, Ximen Wan couldn't help but question. Although he was grateful to Su Ranhua for standing up, he blamed her for her whims.
Ximen Xianchu didn't say what would happen if the matter couldn't be done, but he would definitely punish Su Ranhua for being meddlesome. If Ximen Wan refused to agree, wouldn't it mean that Su Ranhua would be hurt? This would also put Ximen Wan in a difficult position.
"At least this way, things will have a chance to change." Su Ranhua smiled calmly.
"Is there any alternative? I don't want to get married, but my father wants to get married. The Queen Mother doesn't care about these state affairs. Do you expect Prince Wushan to say personally that he won't marry the princess? Isn't this the biggest purpose of his coming to the Qingyuan Dynasty?" Ximen Wan said
road.
Su Ranhua could also understand the purpose of these marriages between small countries, which was simply to consolidate his position in his own country by drawing closer relations with powerful countries.
"What the princess said is true." The two were arguing when Wu Shan walked out of the Showa Hall and caught up with them for some unknown reason.
Standing in front of Su Ran's painting, Wu Shan shook his beard and laughed, "If Princess Bei agrees to find a woman like the princess for this prince, I will definitely tell the emperor personally that I will not marry the princess. How about that?"
"You are so bold to dare to molest Princess Bei!" Ximen Wan glared at Wu Shan and said to Su Ranhua, "Look, who is he? Can I marry such a person?"
"Princess, this prince just said that he wants to marry a woman who looks like a princess. Is it possible that the princess is jealous? Hahaha!"
Su Ranhua frowned. At this time, Wu Shan showed his rudeness without concealing it. He completely lost the courtesy when he bowed to himself. It was really not worth it for Ximen to marry such a rough man later.
"For a woman like the princess, I can have as much as I want. It's not Prince Wushan's turn to get involved!"
A cold voice came from one side, so cold that it seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
