"Ning Liu, hurry up and prepare the betrothal gift. I'm going to the Su Mansion to propose marriage. Hurry up." Baili Yu returned to the house in a hurry and ordered Ning Qi when he was still at the door.
Everyone in the palace was stunned for a moment when they heard Bai Liyu's words. When they reacted, they were all excited and wanted to conjure up the betrothal gift right away.
Their prince is finally going to marry the princess, can he not be happy? Maybe there will be a heir apparent next year.
The people in the palace followed Bailiyu when he was ten years old. It can be said that they watched Bailiyu grow up.
Especially the elderly people in the palace simply regard Bailiyu as their biological son.
They were originally worried that Bailiyu would not be able to find the princess, but they did not expect to hear such great news today.
"Uncle Wang, you first look at the palace, I'll go into the palace." Bailiyu didn't even change his clothes before entering the palace again.
Today alone, he has entered the palace three times, and he has not even been so active in completing the errands assigned to him by Emperor Yihong.
…
The next day, Su Mansion
A well-known official media in the capital and a father-in-law were sitting in the flower hall. Su Changyun was sitting at the top of the flower hall with a serious look on his face.
There are also more than a dozen big red boxes in the flower hall, with red hydrangeas tied on them, which look like betrothal gifts.
Su Changyun looked at these dozens of betrothal gifts and suddenly felt a headache. Early this morning, the father-in-law brought the official media to propose marriage to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince had already married a concubine, and there were also a number of concubines in the palace who were living together. This clearly meant that Su Qing was allowed to join the palace as a child.
No, his precious daughter must not marry someone else to raise her child. He did not agree to the marriage. Just as he was about to refuse, Su Qing came.
"Dad, this is..." Su Qing woke up in the morning and found that the atmosphere in the mansion was a bit tense, and the servants were coming and going in a hurry.
"I have met Princess Anle. I came to the Su Mansion to ask for your hand in marriage for the eldest prince on the orders of the Queen."
The father-in-law said with a drake voice. The voice was high-pitched and dry, which was not pleasant to say the least.
Su Qing knew as soon as she heard the purpose of her visit that he was someone close to Queen Liu, and maybe a confidant.
"Where's Yizhi? Let me take a look." Su Qing found a seat and sat down. The servant was very discerning and immediately served her a cup of tea.
"Princess, this..." The father-in-law looked at her with some embarrassment. The empress did not write an edict at all. He just wanted to use the empress to suppress her so that he could complete the errand.
If other people heard that it was the empress's decree, they would be extremely happy immediately, and they would not care about the edict.
But Princess Anle doesn't play her cards according to common sense. What should I do?
"Princess, it's not important whether you agree or not. What's important is that the Queen wants you to marry the eldest prince."
The matchmaker has a big matchmaker mole on the corner of her mouth. She looks to be in her thirties. She is dressed in silk and satin. At first glance, many people come to her for matchmaking.
"As far as I know, the eldest prince already has a concubine. Does the queen want me to be the eldest prince's baby?"
Su Qing took a sip of tea and asked. There was no anger on his face, but it made the two of them feel suppressed invisibly.
King Pingnan wanted to kill her, the Liu sisters also wanted to harm her, and Queen Liu wanted her to be a slave. I really don’t know what their family was thinking, and they insisted on having a hard time with her.
Is it possible that she didn't deal with them and treated her like a soft persimmon?
"Princess, what are you talking about? They are all married to the eldest prince, so don't mind, Princess."
The matchmaker played haha and smoothed things over, playing with the bright red handkerchief, and a sweet smell of fragrant powder came out.
Su Qing looked away with some disgust. The matchmaker smiled awkwardly at Su Qing's reaction.
"You have also seen that my father is the protector of the country, and I am the princess personally appointed by the emperor. The queen is looking down on our Su family."
Su Qingfeng said calmly, as if she was a bystander, just discussing the matter.
But the words in it made people feel even more stressed. For a moment, the father-in-law and the matchmaker didn't know how to answer the conversation.
"Besides, the Ming Dynasty has always had a clear distinction between concubines and concubines. Moreover, concubines are lowly people. Let me, a legitimate eldest lady, be a concubine and have the same status as concubines.
What is the queen’s intention? Or does she want to give the Lord Protector a blow?”
Although Su Qing had a smile on her face, to those two people, she was simply a devil.
Every word was directed at the Queen, and every hat was knocked down. Wouldn't this cost their lives?
Cold sweat broke out on the father-in-law's forehead. Princess Anle was not easy to serve at all, and she was afraid that she would not be able to complete this task.
The matchmaker didn't dare to speak easily. She was wrong when she opened her mouth. However, this was the first time she met her daughter's family and discussed her own marriage.
The door of the Su Mansion was wide open, and many refugees gathered in front of the Su Mansion to receive porridge. Those with sharp ears heard what was going on inside. Once they talked about it in private, Queen Liu's image in the hearts of the people immediately changed.
"The imperial edict arrives——"
At this time, there was a commotion outside the door. The refugees were separated by officers and soldiers, leaving a passage. The prince came in holding the imperial edict.
