"Prince, don't be like this -" Dai Xiao resisted with some strength.
"Dai Xiao," Ximenzhe looked down at Dai Xiao's eyes, "I can't wait any longer. You were mine five years ago, and you are still mine today. Don't even think about leaving me again."
"Your Majesty—" Dai Xiao was sucked in by those whirlpool-like eyes again, and followed him deeply. She chose to come back here, so she was ready to accept everything here.
Then, just accept it boldly, the prince really loves her, and she also loves the prince.
Dai Xiao closed her eyes, no longer refusing, no longer afraid, everything just happened so naturally...[
"Dai Xiao, I have informed the emperor that I want to terminate the engagement with Li Xueyun." Ximenzhe hugged Dai Xiao in his arms. At this time, she was so petite and lovely, clinging to his side obediently, so happy.
.
"Is the emperor sure?" Dai Xiao asked.
"The emperor said that as long as I can pacify the Prime Minister's Mansion and pacify Li Xueyun," Ximen Zhe said.
Ximen Zhe knew that with the development of the Prime Minister's Office over the years, Ximen Hao, as the emperor, would not be able to smell something. By targeting him, he was not only thinking about his younger brother, but also had the intention of specifically attacking the Prime Minister's Office.
Moreover, allowing the West Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion to destroy the marriage will also allow other courtiers to see that the Prime Minister's Mansion does not cover the sky with one hand and can do whatever they want. In comparison, it weakens the prestige of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Any king likes courtiers who are loyal to him and cannot bear their changes step by step as time goes by.
"Settling it? Is it easy?" Dai Xiao asked softly. She did not underestimate the ability of King Xi, but felt that conflicts between the two major palaces, Xi Wang's Mansion and Xiang's Mansion, were not always easy to resolve.
"I won't let you be wronged." Ximenzhe hugged Dai Xiao tightly, "I have to go to Ping Town to pick up Xiaodie. You are back, and I can't let my daughter still be outside."
"By the way, Your Majesty, hurry up." Dai Xiao urged, she couldn't help but see Xiaodie.
Before Xiaodie came to pick her up, Princess Yao suddenly left the palace and came to the West Prince's Mansion.
Concubine Yao said that Yichen was also back, and she had asked the Empress Dowager to stay in the Xiwang Mansion this winter.
As a result, the Xiwang Mansion was already bustling before the New Year arrived.
It is also worthy of congratulations that the young prince of the West Palace has returned from Yuehua County. In order to help Ximen Yichen understand the relationship between the DPRK and China, Ximen Zhe will prepare a feast and invite all the ministers on the day that Princess Yao comes to the West Palace.
, and also plans to announce his relationship with Dai Xiao to the ministers and guests, so that everyone can get to know the Princess of the West whom he finally selected.
Since the news of the termination of the engagement with Li Xueyun has not been announced to the outside world, Concubine Yao, who lives in the palace, does not know what happened to her son. Therefore, as soon as Concubine Yao came to the West Prince's Mansion, she called someone.
His daughter-in-law Li Xueyun is accompanying him.
Li Xueyun received the message from Princess Yao and rushed over without stopping. She stayed close to Princess Yao and acted like a caring daughter-in-law to win over Princess Yao, hoping to use her identity as Ximen Zhe's mother-in-law to reverse the defeat.
The banquet was about to start, Dai Xiao hid in the corner, not knowing how to meet Princess Yao. Looking at the dignified and noble Li Xueyun, she pales in comparison. Only such a beauty can walk beside Princess Yao to induce marriage.
The young master is flirting.
"Don't be afraid!" Ximenzhe patted Dai Xiao's hand gently. He knew that after Princess Yao stepped into the West Prince's Mansion, she had heard some rumors. Sooner or later, she would ask him about it, so he could let Dai Xiao stand.
In front of everyone, formally reveal her identity.
"Zhe'er!" Seeing her son walking towards her, Princess Yao smiled and went up to meet him, took his hand, and placed it on Li Xueyun's hand as if to intend it.
She has been looking forward to Ximenzhe's marriage for a long time. Although she lives deep in the palace and doesn't say anything, she has been thinking about it in her heart. Moreover, she has also met Li Xueyun. She visits her every time she enters the palace. She is a considerate and sensible person.
Girl.[
Therefore, without knowing it, Princess Yao had identified this daughter-in-law.
"Mother Concubine." Ximen Zhe responded and wanted to pull his hand away. However, Princess Yao held her tightly and could not use too much force.
Li Xueyun smiled gently and stayed beside Concubine Yao, letting her hand be pressed by Ximenzhe's hand and remaining calm.
"Yichen, come!" Princess Yao called to Ximen Yichen who had just returned from the palace.
Ximen Yichen, Ximen Yiqi and Yimeng stayed with the Queen Mother in the palace for a few more days, so they arrived at the Xiwang Mansion a little later than Princess Bi Yao, just in time to catch up with the banquet prepared by Ximen Zhe.
Concubine Yao held Li Xueyun with one hand and Ximen Yichen with the other, and stood together with Ximen Zhe. The four of them stood in the host's position, facing the guests.
Seeing the talented young prince, all the guests were full of praise.
Some people who didn't know the inside story began to compliment the future family.
Mo Qinghan, who was sitting at the bottom, felt uneasy when he saw such a team. He looked around and wondered where Dai Xiao was hiding at this time.
"Qinghan, what are you looking at?" Mrs. Mo asked softly.
Mo Qinghan didn't answer, and turned his questioning eyes to Ximenzhe.
Similarly, on the other side, Xia Feng, who was accompanying Ximen Ji, also cast his gaze on Ximen Zhe, wanting to see through him.
"I would like to thank everyone for coming to attend the banquet of the King of the West." Concubine Yao faced everyone and spoke first, "Everyone knows that I am just a woman living in the palace. Today, I make an exception for my son, the King of the West.
Already."
As she spoke, Princess Yao glanced at Ximen Zhe.
Ximenzhe's heart skipped a beat. Concubine Yao's move was beyond his expectation. He didn't expect that his mother-in-law, who had been silently heard of her, would speak on such a grand occasion.
Prime Minister Li Chengyi stroked his beard and sat quietly aside. Everyone looked at Li Xueyun who was standing next to Concubine Yao, and all noticed the clues. Those who were flattering quietly moved towards the Prime Minister.
"Today it happened that King Xi held a banquet and invited all the guests. I took the opportunity to announce a major event for King Xi that has been delayed for a long time. As a mother and concubine, I really can't wait.
"Taifei Yao said.
"Mother Concubine!" Ximenzhe shouted in a low voice that could not be heard by others, but Princess Yao could hear it clearly.
But Concubine Yao ignored Ximen Zhe and continued, "You must have guessed that I want to urge King Xi's marriage in front of everyone, although I have never interfered with King Xi's affairs before.
, but his marriage is not his political affairs. It cannot be regarded as an old woman like me intervening in politics. If it is left to the people, I, the mother-in-law, also have the right to speak out. Today, this concubine is going to
I will use this power that I have never used before. As a mother-in-law, I will announce that Xueyun is my daughter-in-law. The wedding will be held in three days. I also ask the prime minister to understand my feelings. However, I still want to marry her.
I want to have many more grandchildren in my lifetime! So we cannot delay this matter any longer, and we can only wrong Xueyun in a hurry."
