When Meng Guxue heard this, her hands trembled and her heart almost jumped out!
The next moment, Baili Chengyou's clear voice rang out.
"His Majesty Yong Huang, I would like to marry your country and work together to build the good of our two countries. What do you think?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the venue had different expressions.
The second princess felt nervous and quickly covered her pale face while drinking tea.
She didn't want to get married, but as a princess, this was also her unshirkable responsibility.
If her father really wanted her to marry him later, she would not dare to complain at all, but... there was too much reluctance...
The third prince clenched his hands, turned to look at the second princess, and then looked at the seat next to him.
He also heard the rumors outside the palace yesterday.
Prince Baili...should already have a favorite candidate for marriage.
Emperor Yong's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he nodded directly the next moment.
"Since your country has such good intentions, I am naturally happy to see it come to fruition."
Seeing that Emperor Yong agreed, Qiao Jiaojiao hurriedly looked at Shen Yuanbai's face.
Before he could sit down, his steps suddenly stopped, his eyebrows lowered, as if he was thinking about something.
At this moment, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
[Will the second prince take action? I have to say that the current situation is really unfavorable to him. 】
[It is reasonable and reasonable for Baili Chengyou to propose marriage on this occasion. If the second prince wants to compete with Meng Guxue, he can only ask Emperor Yong for a marriage. 】
[But today is the Longevity Festival, and there are envoys from the two countries present. It would be too abrupt and inappropriate for the second prince to propose marriage rashly. 】
[However, if he didn't fight for it, Emperor Yong would definitely allow Meng Guxue to follow Baili Chengyou to Nanli Kingdom. 】
[Now, let's see how valuable Meng Guxue is in the second prince's mind, and whether it's worth taking the risk! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts had just reached this point when she suddenly heard Shen Yuanbai's cold voice.
"Father, since there is such a good thing ahead of us, can I also ask for a favor from my father and make a couple of good things come true?"
Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."
[This reason is really blunt. The male protagonist probably said it bravely...]
[It seems that Meng Guxue's trump card is not only poetry, otherwise the male protagonist may not be willing to take this risk! 】
As soon as Shen Yuanbai said this, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on him.
The prince raised his eyes slightly, he did not expect this.
Asking for grace at such an inappropriate time is not at all like the second brother's style.
In such a hurry to say it before Prince Baili, what does the second brother want to ask for?
Shouldn't...
The prince's eyes turned slightly and suddenly fell on Meng Guxue who was sitting next to him.
At the same moment, 10,000 minds were flying in the hall, and the next moment, almost all the spirits in the room reacted.
This... this is really unexpected!
Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows and looked down at his second son.
Shen Yuanbai looked calm and allowed Emperor Yong to look at him without flinching.
Now that you have spoken, this move must be made. Not only that, it must be done beautifully and perfectly!
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai bowed slightly and said seriously and sincerely:
"Father, my son is naughty, young and ignorant, and has unintentionally offended the Sacred Heart. He has been deeply reflecting and regretting his mistakes for the past year."
"The clan house is lonely and cold, but I have survived the Mid-Autumn Festival and the New Year's Eve. I know that I have made mistakes and deserve punishment, and I have no complaints."
"Only when my long life is approaching, I am terrified. I am afraid that I will not be able to congratulate my father in person. I am afraid that the world will think that I am unfaithful and unfilial."
"My father's ability to allow my son to leave the clan's residence temporarily shows my loyalty and filial piety. I cannot express my admiration and gratitude in my heart."
"Father, at this moment, I will never change my behavior."
Having said this, the second prince raised his head and stared at Emperor Yong, as if the words were deep in his words, and his eyes were red when his love became so strong.
"However, there was no news in the Zongren Mansion this year. It was not until just now that I heard that Prince Baili praised Miss Meng's family at the poetry meeting yesterday."
"Father, I dare not hide this from you. During last year's Dragon Boat Festival, I was impressed by Miss Meng's talents and admired her so much. I was afraid that the person Prince Baili wanted today would also be Miss Meng, so I spoke rashly."
"My son is a dull man. He has a virtuous and talented elder brother, and a heroic and enterprising younger brother. What's more, my identity... Identity..."
Shen Yuanbai glanced at the Northern Mission in a panic, his face full of forbearance and cowardice. He closed his eyes for a moment, and then spoke with relief after a long while:
"My son knows that it is difficult for him to ascend to the elegant hall, so he only hopes that Cheng Huan will be at the knees of his father, and he will be loyal and filial. Once he has a close friend, he can live a stable life, and then he will be satisfied."
"I am here to ask my father to please allow me to marry Miss Meng as my wife and grant me the title of second prince's concubine!"
After Shen Yuanbai finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Emperor Yong.
There was suddenly no sound in the hall.
The second prince's words were sincere and seemed to come from the heart. Even the people in the room couldn't tell how true or false they were.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Meng Guxue, but unfortunately she kept her head lowered and couldn't see her expression clearly.
But beside Meng Guxue, the completely different reactions of Meng's father and Meng's mother made everyone deeply interested.
Father Meng's face was glowing red, he was flattered, and he seemed eager to agree immediately.
Meng's mother looked frightened, her face turned pale, and she was obviously very worried.
Emperor Yong looked at his second son who was bowing his head on the ground, his eyes were deep and the meaning was difficult to understand.
These words were so beautiful that he could almost imagine the scene of the second child being alone in the clan mansion when the family was reunited.
Does my son, who considers himself dull but extremely intelligent, really realize his mistake?
Baili Chengyou who was on the side listened to Shen Yuanbai's words quietly, and it was only then that he slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
He carefully inquired about Shen Yuanbai's every move, and he was certain that Shen Yuanbai had never had a precognitive dream.
But now that he cares so much about Meng Guxue, it can be seen that he must have discovered Meng Guxue's extraordinaryness from some clues.
Very good, it would be interesting to argue like this...
Thinking of this, Baili Chengyou took a step forward and said with a smile accompanied by the pleasant sound of bells:
"Your Majesty Yong Huang, by coincidence, the person I want to marry is none other than Miss Meng from your country."
"But there is only one Miss Meng. Now... what should we do?"
Everyone: "..."
What is supposed to come has come!
Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Meng Guxue who lowered her head all of a sudden. Even she didn't know what the next step would be.
[Meng Guxue, Meng Guxue, you have always wanted to be rich and powerful, and you want to be a master among people. Now you can be regarded as benevolent and benevolent. 】
[But now, there are two "jackals" standing in front of you. What will you choose? 】

The scene suddenly froze.
There has never been such a coincidence that two talented men proposed to marry each other at the same time.
The ladies in the palace who came to attend the dinner with their parents were so envious that they all looked at Meng Guxue.
Why did such a blessing fall on her head?
It is undeniable that Meng Guxue's talent is indeed unmatched by anyone, but she is not very old, and she is not a beautiful woman. Do outstanding men value talent so much?
And even if he decides to marry her today, he still has to wait another two or three years before getting married.
The second prince and the third prince are so deeply in love with Meng Guxue, are they willing to wait even three years?
On such an occasion, no one dared to whisper, but this did not prevent them from secretly flirting!
At this moment, Qiao Jiaojiao seemed to see hundreds of eyes communicating through the air!
Emperor Yong obviously hadn't made up his mind yet, so he didn't speak for a long time.
The prince boasted that he knew something about the second prince.
He didn't believe anything he said about his admiration for her.
Last time in front of his father, didn't the second brother also say that he liked Miss Sheng's family? Now there is no news about Miss Sheng's family!
But it was hard for him to imagine that there was anything in Meng Guxue that his second brother absolutely wanted.
However, no matter what the second brother wants to get, he must not be allowed to succeed!
The father must have been deeply touched by the high-profile appearance of his second brother just now.
The Yong Dynasty is now strong and has no fear of Nanli. This marriage is not extremely necessary.
Thinking about it this way, my father is probably more partial to his second brother.
Thinking of this, the prince's mind was spinning and he immediately raised his eyes to look at the queen.
Now he has no way to intervene in the situation, so he can only place his hope on Meng Guxue.
Take a look at her choices first!
The empress met the prince's eyes, and there was no need for words between mother and son. Empress Kuang was smart and transparent, and she understood everything instantly.
"Your Majesty, the second and third princes love Miss Meng so much. Since you can't make up your mind, why not ask Miss Meng's opinion first?"
The Queen broke the deadlock by speaking directly.
"It is human nature for young people to admire each other, but in the end it is a beautiful thing only if the two hearts are happy."
"No matter what choice Miss Meng makes, the second and third princes will definitely be able to accept it."
Emperor Yong was still a little hesitant when he heard this, but Baili Chengyou immediately echoed:
"The Queen's words are reasonable. I also want to know Miss Meng's thoughts. If Miss Meng is interested in the second prince of your country, this palace will naturally not force anyone to do anything."
Baili Chengyou knew that the Emperor of Yong in front of him loved the country more than beauty. Because of the dead Princess Yuliu, he was not very kind to Shen Yuanbai!
In the dream, the prince died suddenly, the Qiao family was wiped out, and Shen Yuanbai was able to ascend the throne as emperor, all thanks to this eccentric emperor who turned a blind eye and even tried to pave the way for him by betraying his relatives!
Although there are some deviations in reality now, Emperor Yong was willing to imprison Shen Yuanbai in the clan mansion, but people's hearts are unpredictable!
If he didn't agree with the queen, I'm afraid Emperor Yong would most likely reject him and directly promise Meng Guxue to Shen Yuanbai!
Since the Queen and Baili Chengyou had said so, Emperor Yong glanced at Shen Yuanbai and nodded.
"According to what the Queen said, where is Meng Guxue?"
Mrs. Meng trembled when she heard this.
She was really scared.
Since my daughter's temperament changed drastically, she has not been a peaceful person. If she is allowed to marry into the royal family, something will happen sooner or later!
Let alone marrying and going to Nanli Country, wouldn't this cost her the life of a mother!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng held Meng Guxue's hand tightly and gently shook her head with tears in her eyes.
Xue'er, you can't choose anyone!
Some wealth is beyond our ability to bear. Being able to live in peace is already a great blessing to be born as a human being!
Meng Guxue looked at Mrs. Meng's worried and sad face, and saw the tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel sad.
When she lowered her head just now, she thought a lot, from the day she traveled through time to today.
In the era she lived in, she was too ordinary, so ordinary that she disappeared into the crowd when she walked into it.
She is unwilling to be ordinary, but she has to admit her own ordinaryness.
I don't know why God chose her. She traveled through time and changed from an ordinary girl to the most special being in the old era.
She has read too many novels and dreamed countless times that she could become the heroine, a reborn Cinderella, and be sought after and loved by countless people.
When this opportunity really presented itself, she worked hard to express herself and chose a shortcut without hesitation.
——Attachment to a strong and quality man.
When she returned home from the poetry club last year, when she was most frustrated and disappointed, that dream appeared.
The dream clearly told her that she was the worthy heroine of this world!
After that dream, her self-confidence and sense of superiority expanded to the limit, driving her to approach the second prince like a moth to a flame.
However, overhearing the interaction between the second prince and Yu Zhaoyi behind the rockery that day still made her feel a little disappointed and wary.
So when the second prince wanted her poems, she kept an eye out and changed the font from then on.
Otherwise, if the second prince took out those poems and gave them to each other privately today, the charges would be covered up. Let alone the second prince's concubine, she might be directly accused of being the second prince's concubine!
Witnessing Hanya Xian almost being poisoned tonight made her whole body feel cold and frightened!
This incident was like a slap on the face, making her realize that there was an insurmountable gap between dreams and reality.
In the dream, her husband Shen loved her dearly and was perfect, but in reality, the second prince was ruthless and unscrupulous!
As for Baili Chengyou, the second male lead in the dream who had a deep and unrepentant love for her was also full of calculations.
She happily thought that she had a better choice, but she didn't expect that all her trump cards had been clearly revealed by him!
She thought that her dream would finally come true and become the beautiful heroine in the novel, but she didn't expect that she would fall hard in front of reality!
Meng Guxue's heart was desolate, and she no longer had the joy of climbing high.
She squeezed Mrs. Meng's hand gently, and couldn't bear to look at her eyes anymore, and stood up slowly.
"My daughter is here."
Meng Guxue responded lightly and came to the hall under everyone's attention.
Qiao Jiaojiao watched with her own eyes as Meng Guxue walked forward and walked between Shen Yuanbai and Baili Chengyou.
At this moment, Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly realized that she had thought of something wrong.
When she just guessed about Meng Guxue's choice, she also thought about whether Meng Guxue might awaken the pride of a time traveler and choose no one.
But now it seems that she was wrong.
When Shen Yuanbai and Baili Chengyou asked to marry her at the same time, Meng Guxue had no third choice.
If she chooses no one, Shen Yuanbai and Baili Chengyou will not agree, and neither will Emperor Yong.
In this era, above the imperial power, a mere official daughter is really insignificant.
What an honor it is for two princes to propose marriage at the same time. If she, Meng Guxueruo, doesn't choose anyone, she doesn't know how to commend her, or she is slapping the royal family in the face!
With her thoughts at this point, Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Meng Guxue who looked particularly petite standing between Shen Yuanbai and Baili Chengyou, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
[At this moment, has Meng Guxue truly realized the cruelty of this era, realized the danger of human hearts, and reflected on his own stupidity and arrogance? 】

"It is said that a family has a daughter who is sought after by many families. Miss Meng has poetry and books in her belly. She is beautiful and smart, so it is normal for her to be favored by two princes at the same time."
The queen looked at Meng Guxue in the palace and spoke warmly.
"Now the two princes are arguing. Miss Meng, what do you think?"
Everyone looked at Meng Guxue intently.
Qiao Jiaojiao was a little nervous, and her little hands were even sweaty, because Meng Guxue's choice would also affect their Qiao family's next actions!
[Anyway, today is Meng Guxue's catastrophe. 】
[The second prince and the third prince are both the best among men. No matter who Meng Guxue chooses today, the other party will definitely not be able to accept it. 】
[Both of them know or guess that Meng Guxue is special. There is no so-called love bondage. Will they be soft on Meng Guxue? 】
[Obviously, no...]
Meng Guxue's face turned pale. She first turned to look at the second prince on the left.
The second prince looked at her tenderly. Although he had not spoken a word, his watery eyes seemed to have said a thousand words.
The phrase "My heart is still the same" was his statement.
At this time, Meng Guxue was in a trance for a moment.
In the dream, she had already experienced exactly the same scene, and even the position she was standing at was exactly the same as it is now.
Shen Lang also looked at her so tenderly and affectionately, waiting for her to make a choice.
In the dream, she was shy and happy, but at this time, her heart was full of hesitation and fear.
She calmly looked away, then turned to look at Baili Chengyou on the right.
Almost the moment Meng Guxue looked away, the affection in Shen Yuanbai's eyes faded like a tide, and even became cold.
I thought that being banned from the sect's residence for a year would not change much, but now it seems that he was still too conceited at the time.
At least Meng Guxue was out of control.
I hope she makes a prudent choice. After all, if he can't get some things, there will be no need to exist...
Meng Guxue looked up at Baili Chengyou.
Baili Chengyou looked at her with a smile, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his eyebrows arched.
In fact, he couldn't hide his uneasiness.
Although according to his investigation, Meng Guxue and Shen Yuanbai had never been in love, but so far, the dream was still very accurate. Meng Guxue in the dream chose Shen Yuanbai without hesitation.
Even though he had shown courtesy to Meng Guxue yesterday and even promised to be together for the rest of his life, the time left for him was too little after all, and his closeness seemed too abrupt.
When he came to Yong Kingdom on this trip, he had only one purpose, which was to bring Meng Guxue back to Nanli Kingdom.
Even if she still chooses Shen Yuanbai today, he will not let her go!
No matter the conspiracy, overt or covert fighting, as long as he can finally bring Meng Guxue back to Nanli Country and make her his, this is victory and a subversion of the dream!
Meng Guxue slowly withdrew her gaze, looked at Emperor Yong who was sitting in the seat, and saluted respectfully.
The next moment, she took a long breath and mustered up the courage to speak:
"Your Majesty, it is a great honor for me to win the favor of these two princes."
"The Kingdom of Yong is the place where my daughter was born and raised. Her parents and relatives are all here, and my daughter is reluctant to leave."
Meng Guxue's words reached this point, even though he was right under Emperor Yong's nose, a low voice still sounded in the palace.
Meng Guxue has made a choice!
At this moment, the second prince relaxed his eyebrows slightly, but Baili Chengyou frowned.
Qiao Jiaojiao turned her head to look at Meng Guxue, feeling slightly surprised:
[So, did Meng Guxue still follow the original work and choose the male protagonist? I thought she...]
"but--"
Meng Guxue suddenly raised her voice slightly, causing the second prince and Baili Chengyou to instantly exchange looks.
"However, just because the Yong Dynasty is the place where ministers are born and raised, the ministers are like women, and they are as beautiful as a willow tree. There is nothing to repay. I am willing to marry Nanli to fulfill the friendship between the two countries and contribute my small amount to the peace between the two countries!"
"My dear daughter, I'm here, please beg your Majesty for your blessing!"
As Meng Guxue said this, she knelt down and bowed her head, making a great salute.
This reversal was really unexpected, and the low roar sounded again in the palace!
Qiao Jiaojiao was slightly startled at first, and then raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
From her perspective and standpoint, Meng Guxue's choice was naturally in the favor of the Qiao family.
Of course, even if she were to put herself in Meng Guxue's shoes, Qiao Jiaojiao would still choose Baili Chengyou.
Because looking at it now, the second prince is too unfathomable, even to the point of being creepy.
Maybe Meng Guxue had a dream and knew more about the inside story than she did. After all, the dog author didn't write out many facts for the readers at all!
For example, the prince's martial arts training was not mentioned at all in the original work, and the sudden death of the prince was a deep hole!
Of course, Baili Chengyou is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
But comparing the hatchbacks, Baili Chengyou's impression is still relatively good.
If Meng Guxue has other plans, such as getting rid of everything, then there are more unknowns on Baili Chengyou's side, which also means more opportunities!
Of course, all the above are Qiao Jiaojiao's guesses. What the future holds depends on Meng Guxue's own ability!
[The difficulty that is right in front of us now is-the male protagonist will never let her go! 】
[If she is caught by the male protagonist, Meng Guxue will never see the light of day again for the rest of her life. It is estimated that all modern knowledge in her mind will be drained out! 】
Shen Yuanbai's eyebrows were heavy and he looked down at Meng Guxue who was kneeling on the ground, a storm brewing in his eyes.
I really don't know how to appreciate it...
But at this moment, the joy on Baili Chengyou's face was real!
That dream was like a dream coming from heaven!
But at first, not only did he not believe it, he was also very disdainful.
With his character, how could he fall in love with a woman for no reason, and even wanted to give up the fight for the throne at one point, just to stay with her!
It's like being poisoned!
He, Baili Chengyou, is ambitious and never willing to play second fiddle to others!
But later, one thing in the dream was slowly confirmed. After thinking about and reliving it countless times, he finally developed a strong interest in Meng Guxue.
Thinking of this, Baili Chengyou lowered his head and looked at Meng Guxue on the ground.
Coerced by victory and joy, he was indeed very pleased with Meng Guxue at the moment.
He has little interest in women, and even though bliss drugs are prevalent in the country, he has never touched them.
The elder brother is a warning to others. Indulging in female sex will not only lose your fighting spirit, but also drain your body. In the end, you will fall to the point where you can't even keep your position as crown prince!
He didn't care at all about being a couple for the rest of his life.
When the time comes, as long as Meng Guxue can give birth to an heir and have someone to inherit the throne, it doesn't matter whether he has a harem of three thousand or not.
It would be even better if she could follow him in a down-to-earth manner and create a business empire for him, and there was nothing wrong with loving her and pitying her.
Thinking of this, Baili Chengyou looked up at Emperor Yong, his eyes bright and echoed:
"Please also ask His Majesty Yong Huang to grant your permission."
When the queen heard Meng Guxue's answer, she felt slightly relieved. She turned to look at Emperor Yong and whispered:
"Your Majesty, although I have wronged my second son, this is Miss Meng's own choice."
"Look at how beautiful her words were just now, why don't you give her grace and make it come true for her."
"After all, it is a major matter of marriage between the two countries. Once it is decided, it is no longer a trivial matter."
When Emperor Yong heard this, he sighed a little in his heart.
He didn't know whether the second son's request to marry Meng Guxue was sincere or had other motives. He originally wanted to fulfill his wish, but it backfired.
That's all, you have no joke.
"Get up, I agree—"
Chapter 204 This is a reminder!

Emperor Yong made the final decision, and the matter was settled.
Meng Guxue stood up slowly, not daring to look at the second prince standing aside.
She was really scared, afraid of the second prince's unfathomable depth.
If he continues to stay in the Yong Dynasty, there will be a series of events such as the flood in Yuzhou, the epidemic in Minzhou, the sudden death of the prince, the beheading of Qiao Zhongguo, and the dismemberment of Qiao Tianjing by five horses.
In the dream, except for the destruction of the Qiao family, Shen Lang did not do anything else. He just happened to be the beneficiary.
But after witnessing with her own eyes that Hanya Xian was almost poisoned just now, she could no longer believe that the second prince was not responsible for any of these things!
Now after the beating, she really woke up.
Compared with them, I am just stupid!
She just wants to escape now and stay far away from the second prince!
If she could, she wouldn't choose anyone.
But her stupid behavior in the past gradually contributed to today's situation. She woke up too late. Now the situation is forcing her to make no choice.
In comparison, Baili Chengyou has less focus on it. At least in dreams, he has always been a loving character.
She could only stay by his side for now. If Baili Chengyou was so frightened, she could only wait for an opportunity.
There must be a place for her, Meng Guxue, anywhere in the world...
"Miss Meng."
The second prince suddenly called out, which frightened Meng Guxue, who was deep in thought, and turned his face a little pale.
The second prince saw Meng Guxue's reaction and his eyes darkened.
Is she afraid of him?
Speaking of which, Meng Guxue's attitude changed so quickly that it was indeed very strange.
It was clear that during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, she still looked shy and timid in the Yuhua Garden.
During the year he stayed in the clan mansion, something happened to Meng Guxue...
Baili Chengyou saw this scene in his eyes, and just as he was about to block Meng Guxue, the second prince already spoke warmly:
"This is your choice, and this palace respects you. I hope you will go to Nanli Country, Spring will be happy, Xia'an will be safe, Qiu Sui will be happy in winter, everything can be expected..."
After the second prince finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Meng Guxue, then turned around and walked to his seat calmly, showing his demeanor in every word and deed.
Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao shook her head slightly.
【Is this a blessing? No, this is a reminder! 】
Under her sleeves, Meng Guxue clenched her hands tightly, and she was so frightened that a thin layer of sweat broke out on her back.
She suddenly realized a very serious problem.
If the second prince was really the kind of person she suspected, would he let her come to Nanli alive?
Does Baili Chengyou have the ability to protect her from the second prince?
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue felt as if she had fallen into a quagmire, feeling suffocated and unable to escape.
"Mengjia Guxue, please listen and enjoy."
Emperor Yong's deep voice sounded.
Since they want to marry, they represent the face of the Yong Kingdom, and the status of the daughter of a mere minister is no longer commensurate.
There are precedents for this kind of thing in history, just give her the identity of a princess with a different surname.
As soon as Emperor Yong said this, Master Meng quickly pulled Mrs. Meng out of the queue with joy, knelt down and listened to the appreciation together.
Mrs. Meng lowered her head and bit her lower lip tightly, fearing that she would cry.
She didn't care about the reward. At this moment, her heart was broken!
That was Nanli Country, and the journey was far away. She was afraid that she would never see Xue'er again in her lifetime.
Furthermore, Xueer has a trouble-loving temperament. When she arrives in Nanli Kingdom, no one will protect her or persuade her. What if these three princes bully her and tease her?
Xue'er is her life and her heart!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng's eyes turned red, and she blinked her eyes desperately to prevent tears from falling.
According to the old system, Emperor Yong adopted Meng Guxue as his righteous daughter, gave her the title "Nanning", rewarded her with gold and jewelry, and even promoted Meng's father to two levels.
Mr. Meng's face turned red with excitement and he kept shouting thanks.
Everyone had different thoughts when they saw this.
Some people were envious of Mr. Meng for giving birth to a good daughter who shone brightly, while others were full of disdain.
To put it nicely, the marriage is a good marriage between two countries, but to put it worse, this daughter is just a gift to someone else!
Those families who love their daughters are secretly glad that their daughters have never suffered such a fate.
At this point, the Shura field that Qiao Jiaojiao was looking forward to has come to an end.
However, is the "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight" planned by the Qiao family over?
No, on the contrary, this plan has just begun!
Qiao Jiaojiao secretly geared up.
After the Meng family thanked them, they took their seats again.
The second princess looked up at Meng Guxue's back, feeling both happy and sad at the same time.
If it weren't for Miss Meng's family, the candidate for this marriage would most likely fall on her.
Now that she had escaped death, she only hoped that Prince Baili's high-profile statement was sincere and that Miss Meng's family would have a good ending.
Che Hebi sat behind the long desk, looking at the sad second prince opposite him, filled with displeasure.
This Miss Meng really has no vision and no luck!
No matter whether the young master really admires Miss Meng's family or not, as long as the young master wants it, he will naturally do his best to help the young master get what he wants!
Shen Yuanbai never looked at Meng Guxue again. He lowered his head and his slightly drooped eyebrows looked lonely.
However, behind the case, his fingertips tapped his knees regularly, and he was obviously very calm.
No matter who Meng Guxue chooses today, he has already been mentally prepared.
Meng Guxue has a secret hidden in her body, and she also holds the formula. If he doesn't get it, others will naturally not be qualified to have it.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
At least within the Yong Dynasty, nothing could happen to Meng Guxue, otherwise he would still be very suspicious.
At present, there is another thing that worries him more.
How did Hanya Xian avoid that cup of poisonous tea?
The poison was colorless and odorless after being dissolved in the tea. The maid who arranged the tea was also well-trained and there was absolutely no way she could reveal any clues.
And Hanya Xian won't even feel any discomfort after drinking this tea.
She will only slowly discover the clues as she gets older in the future but still cannot get pregnant.
But by that time, the cold poison had already been completely integrated into her bones and blood, and there was no possibility of recovery!
Thinking of this, the second prince felt very surprised.
Now that he has limited power, he can only disintegrate the Qiao family from within step by step, distract their energy, and then wait for an opportunity.
However, the Qiao family is so weird that they even survived this disaster without any danger!
I heard that tea was even delivered to his father by Qiao Zhongguo.
Fortunately, this cold poison is the secret medicine of the Northern King's Court. Even Zou Qi, who is highly skilled in medicine, can't find the source of the medicine!
The Qiao family is really in trouble. With the emperor's brother having such help, it really makes him sleepless and sleepless.
How can we defeat the Qiao family...
The second prince's thoughts were racing, and his tapping fingertips suddenly paused slightly.
By the way, doesn't Qiao Zhongguo love his daughter as much as his life...
He tilted his head slightly and caught a glimpse of Qiao Zhongguo's long case from the corner of his eye.
At this time, Qiao Zhongguo lowered his head and was smiling as he handed a piece of fruit to his little daughter's mouth.
The second prince raised his lips slightly when he saw this.
It is extremely normal for a one or two year old baby to die young...

In the middle of Xu Shizhong, the Wanshou Palace banquet finally came to an end.
The moment Emperor Yong and the Queen stood up, everyone's tense nerves finally felt relieved for a moment.
Emperor Yong was about to leave when he suddenly spoke again: "Lao Er, Qiao Aiqing and Tan Aiqing are coming with me."
Qiao Zhongguo responded hurriedly, asked Qiao Tianjing to take care of his family, and then left with Emperor Yong.
After the princes, princes, and princesses all left the table, and the envoys from the two countries also left under special arrangements, all the courtiers stood up one after another.
The long case where Meng Guxue was located was immediately overwhelmed by people who came to congratulate her.
At this time, a familiar sound of bells suddenly came from outside the palace. Everyone turned around and saw that Prince Baili was leaving and returning.
"Miss Meng, can I have a few words with you?"
Baili Chengyou tilted his head and asked with a smile, the bells on his girdle sparkling under the light.
After hearing this, everyone moved out of the way.
"nature."
Meng Guxue nodded and walked towards Baili Chengyou under the attention of everyone.
The two walked out of the palace side by side and stood opposite each other under the colorful lanterns. It was the subtle distance that everyone could see but could not hear their voices.
Meng Guxue's mood was complicated. Now facing Baili Chengyou, she no longer had the joy and expectation of yesterday.
"Third Prince, what do you want to tell me?"
Baili Chengyou frowned slightly when he saw Meng Guxue's cold expression.
"You didn't really choose me?"
When Meng Guxue heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at Baili Chengyou. At this moment, she almost wanted to blurt out: Didn't you also pretend to beg to marry me?
But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
She is really good at learning now.
Baili Chengyou didn't know that she also had a dream, maybe he thought he was moved by what he said yesterday.
Therefore, she cannot reveal her feelings easily, and must pretend to flatter and paralyze the other party.
In this way, if she wants to escape from Baili Chengyou in the future, she can get more opportunities for herself!
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue deliberately looked around and said warmly:
"Third Prince, people talk a lot nowadays, and I have been named Princess of Nanning. Naturally, I have to pay attention to my words and deeds."
"What did you want to say to me when you came here specially?"
The third prince looked up and found that the attention of the people in the palace was indeed focused on the two of them.
Because he had something very important to tell Meng Guxue, he didn't want to pursue it any further.
He looked serious and said in a deep voice:
"I will return to Nanli Kingdom in about half a month. I will ask His Majesty Yong Emperor for an order to take you away directly."
"Because you have not yet reached the age of hairpin, we can hold a grand engagement ceremony with you in Nanli Kingdom first to reassure you. We will get married when you reach the age of hairpin."
"In this half month, you should say goodbye to your parents at home, prepare what you need to prepare, and never go out."
Meng Guxue's expression changed slightly when she heard this.
"Why? Why are you so anxious?"
Does Baili Chengyou also think that the second prince will not let her go?
Baili Chengyou didn't intend to hide it from Meng Guxue. He even revealed the dream to her. It's good for everyone to understand some things tacitly.
"I've always believed that things change when things are delayed. It will take three years before you get married. If I marry you after three years, there will be too many changes."
"Besides, the Yong Dynasty is a long way from the country to the south. I may not have the time to welcome you personally. I'm afraid your life will be in danger on the way."
When Meng Guxue heard this, her face suddenly turned pale.
really!
Baili Chengyou also had a dream, and even he thought that the second prince would attack her. It can be seen that in the dream, she was really blind and was completely deceived by the second prince!
"Who would want to kill me?" Meng Guxue asked knowingly.
Baili Chengyou slightly raised his lips, "Miss Meng, what do you think?"
"In this world, destroying what you don't get is the only way for the strong. Today, my lord, if you choose Shen Yuanbai, I might...also try my best to destroy you."
Baili Chengyou tilted his head and said, with a hint of joking in his eyes.
Lowering his eyes and seeing Meng Guxue's face turning pale with fright at his words, Baili Chengyou raised his eyebrows and the smile on his lips widened.
"Are you scared?"
Seeing Meng Guxue nodding, he suppressed his smile slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry. Now that you have chosen me, you are mine. I will naturally do my best to protect you."
"So, just follow me back to Nanli Country in half a month."
"Don't run around during this period, be careful of Shen Yuanbai's dirty tricks on you!"
Baili Chengyou said something threatening, and when Meng Guxue nodded honestly, he turned and left.
"I have to make good preparations for my return trip, so I won't visit your Meng Mansion."
Ding-ding-ding-ding——
The ringtone is crisp and fades away.
Meng Guxue looked at Baili Chengyou's back with mixed feelings in her heart.
Originally, I just wanted to take advantage of time travel to become a master and satisfy my long-standing fantasy.
Unexpectedly, he would be involved in the whirlpool of the struggle for power, and it was unknown whether his life could be saved.
After all, the second prince was the final winner in the dream, and even Baili Chengyou was defeated by him.
In order to save her life, should she take the risk and find a helper?
for example......
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue turned her head and looked into the palace, just in time to see Qiao Tianjing walking out with Qiao Jiaojiao in her arms.
Meng Guxue squeezed her hands nervously.
She knows the future direction and knows some secrets about the second prince. I think the Qiao family will be very interested.
But, wouldn't this be too abrupt? After all, it didn't happen, so why should the Qiao family believe her?
There was only half a month left, she really had to think about it...
Qiao Jiaojiao was very focused tonight. Now that she relaxed, she felt very tired.
Especially in the afternoon, her mind was too excited and she didn't take a nap at all. Now her whole body felt limp.
[Ah——it is indeed the body of a baby! 】
[Hey, is Meng Guxue looking at us? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao raised her head inadvertently, and unexpectedly met Meng Guxue's gaze.
Qiao Tianjing also looked over after hearing this, but Meng Guxue immediately looked away.
Qiao Tianjing's eyes flashed slightly when he saw this, and the next moment Qiao Jiaojiao immediately expressed his feelings.
[Oh, Meng Guxue probably realized that her life was in danger. After all, she should know the second prince's methods. 】
[Looking at what she means, does she want to join forces with our Qiao family? 】
[Speaking of which, I'm really curious, does Meng Guxue know some inside information that I don't know? 】
[Seeing that Meng Guxue has not caused harm to our Qiao family in this life, for the final victory and to change the fate, it is not impossible to join forces with Meng Guxue! 】
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but look up at Qiao Tianjing.
[Let's wait for dad and eldest brother to make a decision first. As eldest brother is so smart, he probably knows what Meng Guxue is thinking. 】
Qiao Tianjing's thoughts were swirling in his heart, and he was indeed considering this matter.
Originally I just planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but now it seems that there may be unexpected gains...

On the other side, Qiao Zhongguo and Tan Hanchi were waiting outside the palace, where Emperor Yong and the second prince were talking.
It's getting late now, but the noise ahead can still be vaguely heard here.
Qiao Zhongguo admired the lanterns for a while, then suddenly turned to look at Tan Hanchi.
Tan Hanchi felt something in his heart and turned his head to look over.
The two looked at each other and then looked away, with a hint of tacit smile in their eyes.
Faced with the attitude of the Northern envoys to sow discord, Emperor Qiao Zhongguo said that Tan Hanchi had no credit for this, but he did not believe it.
Although I don't know what method Tan Hanchi used, in short, I am grateful for the kindness. It is a great blessing for the Qiao family to get to know Tan Hanchi!
Tan Hanchi slowly withdrew his gaze, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and then lowered his gaze.
As he had said a long time ago, Tan Hanchi must repay the Qiao family's kindness!
Where is this?
When one day, he can be on good terms with the Qiao family, and can have a casual chat with the two Qiao brothers, then he will really have no regrets...
Squeak——
The palace door was opened from inside, and Huang Pei walked out accompanied by the second prince.
When Qiao Zhongguo and Tan Hanchi saw this, they hurriedly saluted.
The second prince looked calm, nodded at the two of them, and walked out slowly.
Look at that direction, it's not going out of the palace to the Zongren Mansion, but back to Chonghua Palace!
"Master Qiao, please come in first. Master Tan, please wait a moment."
Huang Pei saw the second prince off for a while, then hurried back and introduced Qiao Zhongguo into the palace.
When Qiao Zhongguo saw Imperial Physician Zou standing beside Emperor Yong, he knew that the poison matter must have come to an end.
"Your Majesty."
Emperor Yong looked gentle, "You don't need to be polite if you love me. Doctor Zou, please tell me."
In response, Doctor Zou took a step forward and said respectfully: "Go back to Your Majesty, Lord Qiao. After careful inspection by my subordinates, I can confirm that this poison is not from our dynasty."
"However, I'm sorry to be blunt, but I've never heard of the raw materials, so I can't arbitrarily determine where they come from."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.
Han Yaxian's incident occurred in the palace. Emperor Yong knew that he was in the wrong, and he also felt indebted to Qiao Zhongguo.
Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, Qiao Zhongguo already spoke considerately:
"Your Majesty, I have made too many enemies. This time the thieves are targeting me, I'm lucky to be able to avoid any danger."
"Today, the Holy Lord angrily rebuked the envoy from the Northern Kingdom in the palace, showing his trust in me. I am able to serve the Mingjun, and I am extremely happy in my heart. I have no regrets."
"The Holy One has many things to deal with. If there is no clue about this matter, I would like to ask the Holy One not to worry about me anymore. As for Dalang and his wife, I will definitely convey the Holy One's concern on my behalf."
Qiao Zhongguo's words made Emperor Yong very happy.
Seeing that Qiao Zhongguo was about to kneel down again, Emperor Yong immediately stood up and personally supported Qiao Zhongguo.
"No matter whether you are an official or an official, Qiao Aiqing can help me solve my problems. I feel very relieved."
When Qiao Zhongguo left the palace, Huang Pei saw him off with a smile.
When Tan Hanchi saw this, he knew that there was a lot of joy in the conversation just now, and he knew it in his heart.
Qiao Zhongguo nodded politely to Tan Hanchi, and then walked straight out of the palace.
At this time, Huang Peicai said with a smile: "Master Tan, the Holy One has called you."
Tan Hanchi walked into the hall, where Emperor Yong was rubbing his eyebrows slightly tiredly.
Upon seeing this, Tan Hanchi immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is important. You have been busy all day. If there is nothing extremely important, you should leave it to tomorrow."
Emperor Yong shook his head, "No problem."
Tan Hanchi's expression moved slightly, and he suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Why is your Majesty troubled?"
Emperor Yong sighed softly after hearing this, looked up at Tan Hanchi, and said in a deep voice: "Ai Qing, tell me, how should I deal with the second prince?"
Tan Hanchi had already thought about it in his mind, but he still pretended to be silent at this moment, and then he spoke cautiously:
"Your Majesty, please allow Chen to say one more word."
"Today, the second prince has admitted his mistake in front of all the civil and military officials. Besides, there are only two months left in the one-year ban, so why not be lenient?"
"After all, that sect's residence is not a good place. If the second prince comes in and comes out twice, it will not be heard well."
When Emperor Yong heard this, his frown slightly relaxed, and after a while he spoke in a low voice: "Then just follow what Aiqing said."
Tan Hanchi nodded in agreement, but his heart was like a mirror.
Looking at the direction in which the second prince left just now, it was clear that he was going to Chonghua Palace.
If the Holy One intends to continue punishing the second prince, he can just take the second prince back to the clan mansion as soon as the palace banquet is over. Now it is obvious that he does not want to pursue the case any further.
The Holy Spirit has already made up his mind, he is just waiting for the next step.
Tan Hanchi's words indeed satisfied Emperor Yong's wishes. Emperor Yong was satisfied and said warmly:
"Ai Qing, do you still remember the bet you made with me?"
Tan Hanchi's heart skipped a beat and he nodded, "I remember."
The corner of Emperor Yong's mouth raised slightly, "Ai Qing is indeed smart, she actually guessed the thoughts of the traitor from the Northern Kingdom."
"In this way, Aiqing can be considered a winner. I... promised to give you a reward."
When Tan Hanchi heard this, he felt warm and his face turned red.
He glanced at Emperor Yong slightly awkwardly, then lowered his head in fear.
Emperor Yong couldn't help but smile heartily when he saw Tan Hanchi's reaction.
"Tan Aiqing is so thin-skinned. She is always very calm and self-possessed, but now she looks like a shy young man."
"Since I promised you, I will naturally not break my promise."
"Tomorrow, I will decree a marriage between you and the young lady from Duke Yanguo's mansion tomorrow. How about that?"
When Tan Hanchi heard this, he felt real joy in his heart. For the first time, he dared to openly recall Miss Zuo's appearance in his mind.
He was naturally very willing, and he could tell that Brother Qiao also wanted to bring him and Miss Zuo together.
From this point of view, Miss Zuo should... not resist him, right?
Thinking of this, Tan Hanchi knelt down and bowed his head, thanking the Lord for his kindness.
"Okay, get up. It won't be too late to salute you tomorrow when you receive the order."
Emperor Yong's words were a bit ironic.
Tan Hanchi stood up with a red face, looked at Emperor Yong who was sitting in the seat, and said sincerely:
"Your Majesty, I was born in a commoner family and started from a humble background. To be where I am today is entirely dependent on the trust and importance of your Majesty."
"The gratitude in my heart cannot be expressed. I will do my best to be loyal and share the sorrow of the Holy One!"
Emperor Yong nodded with satisfaction, suddenly stood up and walked out from behind the case. When he stood in front of Tan Hanchi, there was a profound meaning on his face.
"My dear, the Duke of Yan and the Qiao family are as close as one family. I allow you to get married to the Duke of Yan. I don't need to elaborate on the profound meaning of this..."
Tan Hanchi looked solemn and nodded heavily, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will keep this in mind!"
Emperor Yong raised his hand and patted Tan Hanchi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Aiqing is young and mature, outstanding, I believe in you."
"Qiao Zhongguo is good everywhere, but..."
"That's all, go ahead, don't let me down."
Tan Hanchi quickly bowed in response.
"Your Majesty, I take my leave."
After leaving the palace, Tan Hanchi's mood was ups and downs. Although he was happy, he couldn't help but worry about Qiao Zhongguo.
If he guessed correctly, the unfinished words of the Holy One should be:
Qiao Zhongguo is good everywhere, but... he is too popular with the people.

After Qiao Zhongguo left the palace, he found that his family was waiting for him.
His Jiaojiao was so sleepy that her little head was shaking. When she saw him, she immediately sat upright and raised her little hands to give him a hug.
"Dad! Daddy is back! Hug!"
Qiao Zhongguo's heart instantly softened. He picked up Qiao Jiaojiao and held him in his arms, smiling and saying:
"Let's go home!"
Qiao Jiaojiao was worried about Meng Guxue and refused to fall asleep in the carriage.
When he got home, he "unreasonably" clung to Qiao Zhongguo, not wanting to miss the next study room review.
Qiao Zhongguo didn't want to let Qiao Jiaojiao down, so he hugged her and went with her.
"Madam, if Jiaojiao falls asleep in a while, my husband will bring her back."
Mrs. Qiao nodded in agreement, but felt sorry for the delicate little person who had to worry about so many things.
"You can go on your own. Xian'er was frightened today. As a mother, I have to comfort her."
"Xian'er, come with your mother."
Hanya Xian smiled and took Mrs. Qiao's arm.
When they arrived at the study, Qiao Diyi hadn't returned home yet.
Qiao Tianjing got straight to the point and talked about the speculation about Meng Guxue.
"Dad, if Meng Gu Xueru asks us for help, will..."
Qiao Zhongguo was full of interest when he heard this and said without hesitation:
"Help! Why not help!"
Qiao Jiaojiao raised her head to look at her energetic father and couldn't help but grin.
[My father is indeed a man of great wisdom! 】
Qiao Zhongguo raised his eyebrows, of course!
When he went to war, surrounded and suppressed bandits, he accumulated bloody lessons, and he was born with human lives in mind!
Now that the battlefield has just been moved to the court, you still have to play tricks!
After Qiao Tianjing got the accurate answer, he smiled and said:
"Dad, if this happens, the kid will have an idea."
Qiao Zhongguo was very interested, "Let's talk and listen."
Qiao Jiaojiao became energetic now and looked at Qiao Tianjing with bright eyes.
Qiao Tianjing did not show off, and said directly: "Today Meng Guxue chose Prince Baili, so she and the second prince will completely break up."
"In this case, Meng Guxue should have no worries about saving her life."
"Since ancient times, marriages have been escorted by men and horses. Why don't you let Meng Guxue come before the Holy Lord, and dad will lead the team to personally escort her to Nanli Country."
"The Holy One will not insult Meng Guxue's face at such a moment. He will definitely respond. Then dad can protect Meng Guxue in an upright and upright manner."
"Of course, it's best to bring your second brother with you. The second brother is highly skilled in martial arts. He will protect Meng Guxue personally, making it even more foolproof."
"It's just that, we must put my father and second brother in danger."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo immediately stood up excitedly, his eyes shining.
"More than just being involved in danger, this is simply a feast for the Second Prince!"
"How much he wants to get rid of me. Now it's better. I and Meng Guxue are both together, which saves him a lot of trouble."
Qiao Zhongguo paced back and forth for a few steps, and when he looked up again, he had already made up his mind.
"Boss, just do as you say!"
"If you want to play, play big, I will give the second prince this chance!"
"If he wants to take action, with his current abilities, he can only borrow the power of the thieves from the North!"
"We can't hide this matter from the Crown Prince, and let the Crown Prince take action!"
"As long as the prince can seize the evidence that the second prince is collaborating with the enemy and treason, even if Princess Yuliu is here, she can't even think of protecting his life!"
Qiao Zhongguo has been away from the battlefield for a long time, but his ruthlessness and cruelty are always there.
If you want to change your destiny against the will of heaven, how can you not be involved in danger?
"In this case, I will have to make arrangements carefully!"
Qiao Jiaojiao felt worried and excited at the same time.
[If you really do what big brother said, this will really be a big move! 】
[But the second prince is shrewd. Even if he wants to do it, he will definitely do it beautifully, or at least he will find ways to get rid of his own suspicion! 】
【What will he do? 】
As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao started thinking, she lost all sleep in an instant.
She never dared to underestimate the second prince. On the contrary, she always imagined the second prince as a perfect enemy!
[If the second prince wants to completely get rid of his own suspicion, then...]
Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly became excited!
[Wait a minute, what better way to get rid of suspicion than the "victim"! 】
[If the second prince takes the initiative to request an order from Emperor Yong and personally escorts Meng Guxue to Nanli for marriage, then these problems will be easily solved for him! 】
Qiao Zhongguo was slightly startled when he heard this, but Qiao Tianjing instantly understood what Qiao Jiaojiao said!
His expression suddenly changed, this was indeed a brilliant strategy!
If the second prince really requested an order from the Holy Emperor, the reason would be very simple.
He loves Miss Meng so much that he naturally wants to witness Miss Meng's happiness with his own eyes.
Furthermore, the third prince of Nanli Kingdom came to celebrate his birthday this time. Following the principle of reciprocity, it was reasonable and reasonable for the second prince to escort Meng Guxue and pay a visit to King Nanli at the same time.
When the second prince follows the marriage convoy, he will be able to spread the news to the thieves at any time and look for the best opportunity to strike!
When the convoy of the marriage alliance was attacked, the second prince could naturally stage a cruel trick and get seriously injured in order to save Meng Guxue!
How could those uninformed others suspect that the assassin was sent by the second prince?
When the time comes for the second prince to make another scene involving a thief shouting to catch the thief, if something happens to his father and second brother, it will naturally affect the second prince's thoughts.
If father and second brother are safe and sound, then as escorts, they not only failed to save Meng Guxue, but also injured the second prince, they will definitely be punished!
For the second prince, this strategy was really killing three birds with one stone, it was so ingenious!
The more Qiao Jiaojiao thought about it, the more she felt it was possible.
[I feel like I predicted the second prince's prediction! There is no need to even wait for Meng Guxue to ask for an order from our Qiao family to escort him, the second prince will make this request first! 】
[In this case, Meng Guxue will definitely come to our house. After all, the jackal is around, and she has to find ways to save her life! 】
————
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
Huang Pei carefully helped Emperor Yong lie down. He was about to exit, but was stopped by Emperor Yong.
"Huang Pei, I'm not sleepy yet, please talk to me."
Huang Pei paused as he left, quickly knelt back on the pedals, and said with a smile: "Sir, what do you want to say, my servants are all listening!"
Emperor Yong sighed quietly, and after a while he said, "Have you seen the appearance of the second child today? He really looks like Yu Liu."
"Huang Pei, you said that after staying in Zongren Mansion for a year, has the second child really reflected on it?"
Huang Pei felt uneasy, but he only dared to say something nice.
"Your Majesty, didn't Master Tan say today that His Highness admitted his mistake in front of all the civil and military officials?"
When Emperor Yong heard this, he was silent for a long time.
Huang Pei waited for a while, thinking that Emperor Yong had fallen asleep, but the deep voice sounded again.
"Is the second child really so happy about that Meng Guxue? He actually requested an order just now to personally send Meng Guxue to Nanli for marriage."
"If I had known this, I would have rejected Baili Chengyou just now in the palace, and I would have granted him his wish."
"That's all, the marriage intention is out. Since the second brother has this intention, let him go."
"Look at him, he seems to be more well-behaved..."
The voice gradually became lower, revealing a strong sense of laziness.
Huang Pei vaguely seemed to hear a murmur in his sleep, and called "Yu Liu" very softly, and then there was no sound again...

The next day, the Duke's Mansion of Yan Kingdom.
Now Duke Yan does not have to go to court unless called by the Holy Spirit.
This morning, he was sitting in the hall playing chess with Zuo Anning.
Six months ago, Zuo Anning was plotted by the eldest princess in Qiao Mansion and was greatly frightened.
Therefore, Duke Yan did not let her go to this year's Lantern Festival, the Eastern Suburbs Poetry Festival, or yesterday's Wanshou Palace Banquet.
Zuo Anning was happy and free, and picked up the chess skills that had been neglected for a long time.
Playing chess can tell a lot about human nature, and Duke Yan Guo could tell that his family An Ning was calm, intelligent and decisive, and he was an excellent child.
Now he only has one worry. An Ning is already sixteen years old, but her marriage has not yet been settled.
Zhongguo had mentioned Tan Hanchi to him years ago, and he had studied it carefully. Although Tan Hanchi was from a low background, he was highly talented and the most important thing was his good conduct.
It's just that he is now a close minister of the emperor, and is extremely useful to the emperor. Based on the relationship between Yanguo Duke's house and Qiao's house, it will be difficult for this marriage to happen.
The Duke of Yan's palace was about to decline. His son was a good-for-nothing. After being detained for more than half a year, the number of women was reduced, and he became obsessed with collecting jade.
An Ning's future cannot be counted on this useless son. He must find a good home for An Ning before he is buried!
Perhaps he was too worried, and Duke Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing this, Zuo Anning raised his head from the chess game and asked with concern: "Grandpa, why are you sighing?"
Duke Yan looked at Zuo Anning in front of him and smiled gently, "It's okay. Ning'er's chess skills have improved again. Grandpa is thinking about what to do next."
There is no reason to discuss a girl's marriage in front of her children, and Duke Yan also doesn't want to arouse Zuo Aning's worries.
But Zuo Anning is very transparent. She has seen Duke Yan's melancholy in the past six months.
What could I have done to upset my grandfather? It was nothing more than a trivial marriage.
"grandfather."
Zuo Anning suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Duke Yan.
Duke Yan was startled, hurriedly supported Zuo Anning, and asked quickly: "Ning'er, what are you doing?"
Zuo Anning looked calm. An idea had been lingering in her mind for a long time. She mustered up the courage and decided to talk to her grandfather today.
"Grandpa, Ning'er knows that you are troubled by Ning'er's marriage, but Ning'er has no intention of getting married and has no expectations for the marriage."
"Ning'er knows that this will embarrass you and embarrass the Duke of Yan, but after much thought, Ning'er still wants to be selfish."
"Grandpa, can you allow Ning'er to remain unmarried for the rest of her life?"
When Duke Yan heard this, he was shaken all over and looked at Zuo Aning in disbelief.
Zuo Anning felt guilty, stepped forward and took Duke Yan's hand, and said warmly:
"Grandpa, most men in the world must be like dad."
"Ning'er has seen her mother cry too much and heard her parents quarreling too much since she was a child. Ning'er is extremely scared."
"Ning'er doesn't want to end up trusting someone else one day and have to go through the same path as her mother. In this case, it's better not to marry for the rest of her life."
"Grandpa, Ning'er's whole body is filled with the knowledge and principles you taught her. Ning'er has ambitions in her heart and wants to work hard to be a wife and help those illiterate women."
"grandfather."
Looking at Duke Yan Guo's white frost-like temples, Zuo Anning felt extremely sour in her heart, and she knelt down in front of Duke Yan Guo with tears in her eyes.
"Ning'er knows that this is making things difficult for you, but Ning'er just wants to serve her grandfather for the rest of her life and doesn't want to go anywhere!"
When Duke Yan heard Zuo Anning's words, his heart felt sore and painful. Thinking of Zuo Anning's experiences these days, he couldn't help crying.
After all, it was the injustice done by the previous generation that left An Ning with painful harm. It is not surprising that An Ning would have such thoughts.
She must have made a decision in her heart, but she was always worried about his feelings as a grandfather and the face of Duke Yan's palace, so she didn't dare to say it out loud.
Facing this scarred but still kind and sensible child, how could he have the heart to refuse, and how could he have the right to refuse?
"Ning'er, the path you have chosen is too difficult. In the future, there will be countless rumors and cynicism."
"A hundred years after my grandfather, who can shoulder this huge Yanguo Duke's mansion with you?"
Duke Yan's voice trembled slightly and he held Zuo Anning's hand tightly.
Zuo Anning had tears in her eyes, but a smile on her face.
"He lets him be strong, and the breeze blows on the hills. Ning'er lives a magnanimous heart and an upright person. How can other people's words hurt Ning'er in the slightest?"
"Grandpa, Ning'er only feels guilty for your upbringing and your expectations."
Duke Yan's heart went back and forth a thousand times, feeling distressed and relieved at the same time. After hesitating for a long time, he finally felt relieved.
"When you live your whole life, you don't dare to ask for too much. If my Ning'er can live as he pleases, my grandfather will have no regrets."
Zuo Anning's eyes suddenly heated up when he heard this. At this moment, he couldn't express the gratitude and respect in his heart.
"grandfather!"
Zuo Anning leaned her head on Duke Yan's knees, tears rolling down her face.
The grandparents and grandsons in the hall were in agitated moods when Butler Xi suddenly came in a hurry, shouting: "Master! Master! There is an imperial edict from the palace!"
This sound shocked both Duke Yan and Zuo Anning.
How could there be an imperial decree issued for no reason?
Zuo Anning hurriedly wiped away her tears and stood up. Duke Yan's expression was solemn, and he was secretly worried:
Could it be that something happened to the Qiao family?
In this capital, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. Today, you are blessed with endless grace, but no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
"Let's go to the front to meet the imperial edict!"
Duke Yan was about to leave in a hurry, but Butler Xi hurriedly added: "Master, the people in the palace specifically said that we girls should go and receive the order!"
"I?"
Zuo Anning stood there, confused.
Upon hearing this, Duke Yan suddenly turned around and looked at Zuo Anning, his heart skipping a beat.
Could it be...
"Ning'er, go clean your face quickly."
Zuo Anning didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly called Nanny Zhu, cleaned her face and tidied up her appearance, and then hurried forward with Duke Yan.
Butler Xi is an old man in the family, and he is very considerate in his affairs. He received the people in the palace into the main hall early and served them with good tea and water.
Duke Yan led Zuo Anning to the main hall, and then he discovered that the eunuch who announced the decree was actually Eunuch Huang who was beside the emperor!
Huang Pei took the initiative to greet him with a smile on his face, "My lord, this is a good thing. Come and receive the order."
Seeing this, Duke Yan felt a little relieved, and pulled Zuo Anning to kneel in the main hall. Huang Pei opened the imperial edict and said in a loud voice:
"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:
I am very pleased to hear that Zuo Anning, the grandson of Duke Zuo Yongling of the State of Yan, is virtuous, generous, gentle, honest, and has outstanding appearance. Today, there is a good minister, Tan Hanchi, who is in charge of the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy. He is extremely talented and has good looks, so he can be a good match.
The two of them have a perfect match, and today they are specially decreed to get married. The prosperity of the country is related to the prosperity of the people. I hope that you two will work together and respect the country and do not disappoint me.
Admire this. "
"Miss Zuo, please accept the order." Huang Pei leaned forward slightly and said with a smile.

Zuo Anning raised his head blankly, almost losing the ability to think for a moment.
She had just confessed her true feelings to her grandfather, saying that she would never marry, so why did she get this decree of marriage?
Moreover, it is Mr. Tan...
Zuo Anning's mind flashed through several encounters with Tan Hanchi, and she was instantly confused.
Has Mr. Tan received the order? Is he willing in his heart?
"Miss Zuo?"
Huang Pei saw Zuo Anning stunned and couldn't help but give a gentle reminder.
Zuo Anning was shocked when she realized that she had neglected the imperial edict. She quickly reached out to take it and expressed her gratitude.
Eunuch Huang smiled warmly, with no displeasure in his heart.
After all, she is a young lady in the boudoir, and this imperial edict came without any warning. It is completely normal for Miss Zuo to be unable to react for a while.
Furthermore, the Duke of Yan's house is the in-laws of the Qiao house, so he naturally has to show more respect in his heart.
"My lord, please get up quickly."
Eunuch Huang handed over the imperial edict and hurriedly went to help Duke Yan.
Duke Yan stood up, pulled Eunuch Huang aside, and asked in a low voice:
"Eunuch Huang, please let me know. This marriage decree is..."
Eunuch Huang understood the idea and replied in a low voice: "My lord, this will was obtained with great difficulty by Tan Xiuzan!"
When Duke Yan heard this, his brows suddenly relaxed, and he quickly stuffed a purse into Eunuch Huang's hand.
"Thank you very much, father-in-law. Please reply to Your Majesty. I am grateful for Your Majesty's great kindness and I am very happy in my heart."
Eunuch Huang did not refuse, and nodded with a smile, "My lord, please feel free to bring me here!"
The people in the palace cheered and left. Duke Yan turned around and saw Zuo Anning unfolding the imperial edict, looking down at it carefully, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Duke Yan's lips raised slightly, and his heart was filled with true joy at this moment.
He just went to ask Eunuch Huang specifically because he wanted to confirm Tan Hanchi's thoughts.
If he asked for the marriage himself, then we can get a glimpse of his sincerity towards An Ning.
After all, the Yan Kingdom Duke's Palace and the Qiao Palace had a very close connection. As Tan Hanchi was a close official of the Emperor, this marriage was originally impossible.
Now that it's possible, it shows that the kid really put in all the effort.
so good.
He had just made preparations for An Ning to remain unmarried for the rest of his life.
Now if he could have a sincere person to protect him in peace for the rest of his life, he would be able to rest in peace even if he was buried immediately.
Now... I just don't know what An Ning is thinking.
"Ning'er."
Duke Yan walked forward and patted Zuo Aning's shoulder gently.
Zuo Anning raised his head in confusion, "Grandpa, what... what on earth is going on?"
Duke Yan asked, "Ning'er, you should have met Tan Hanchi. My grandfather heard that he also helped Tian Jing get married. What do Ning'er think of Tan Hanchi?"
Zuo Anning looked slightly dazed, and the first thing that came to his mind was the high-spirited scene of Tan Hanchi wearing a red robe and riding a horse through the streets last year.
Then when the Han family was giving away their wedding, Tan Hanchi grabbed her hand in the crowd and protected her.
Also, in the Qiao family's new house, she and Tan Hanchi were pushed and stood together...
When Duke Yan saw Zuo Anning's ears slowly turning red, his heart suddenly became certain.
From this point of view, An Ning also had a good impression of Tan Hanchi, but the unhappiness of her son and daughter-in-law made An Ning fearful of getting married, and she began to think about avoiding marriage.
Thinking of this, Duke Yan touched Zuo Anning's head and said warmly:
"Ning'er, my grandfather just asked Eunuch Huang. Tan Hanchi asked for this decree himself."
Hearing this, Zuo Anning suddenly raised his head.
Did Young Master Tan ask for it himself?
So, he...he actually...
Duke Yan Guo said with a smile, "Our Ning'er is so outstanding, but that boy Tan is really discerning."
"Ning'er, how you live your life is never decided by the previous generation. Your father and mother each have their own shortcomings. It's because they themselves can't live a good life."
"But look at your aunt and your uncle, don't they live a happy life?"
"Don't be afraid, Ning'er. Grandpa will invite that boy Tan over for a chat in a few days. If he treats Ning'er badly, grandpa will be the first to refuse!"
Hearing this, Zuo Anning had countless thoughts passing through her heart. She couldn't help but clenched the imperial edict in her hand and secretly made up her mind.
"Grandpa, if it's possible, can Ning'er have a few words with Mr. Tan?"
Duke Yan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Of course you can."

When Qiao Jiaojiao learned about the news of the marriage, she was so happy that she almost jumped up!
【Ah ah ah! Another pair of CPs I was hoping for came true! Woohoo, how could I be so happy! 】
【Wedding! I can't wait to see Tan Hanchi and cousin An Ning get married! So sweet to me! 】
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah, if this marriage can happen, Tan Hanchi must have been thinking very hard and racking his brains, right? Otherwise, how could Emperor Yong agree? 】
[Tan Hanchi is so powerful! I'll call him! He is a real responsible man! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao hugged the little pillow, her big eyes full of pink bubbles!
Mrs. Qiao sat aside and couldn't help but feel happy.
Hanya Xian and An Ning are good sisters. She was so excited that she couldn't help but ask, "Mom, should we go see An Ning this afternoon?"
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this.
"Go! Go see cousin An Ning! I'm going!"
Mrs. Qiao smiled and hugged Qiao Jiaojiao, nodding repeatedly, "It's time to go. We'll go after lunch at home."
At the lunch table, Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing deliberately chatted, and brought another piece of news to Qiao Jiaojiao.
This morning, Baili Chengyou asked Emperor Yong for instructions, and after half a month, he returned to Nanli Kingdom, and wanted to take Meng Guxue with him!
【So urgent? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she understood Baili Chengyou's eagerness.
[He has had a dream, so he knows the methods of the second prince. He is worried that things will change if he is too late! 】
At this time, Qiao Tianjing looked confused and added, "In the Jinluan Palace, the second prince requested an order on the spot to marry Meng Guxue in person, and the emperor agreed."
"There is now a rumor in the capital that the second prince was unable to marry Meng Guxue, so he graciously granted her marriage. It can be said that his love is as deep as the sea."
Qiao Jiaojiao:! ! !
[What did I say last night! Sure enough! 】
[And he also set up a love affair with him. If something happens to Meng Guxue, no one will doubt him! 】
【Ah ah ah! The second prince has such sinister intentions! 】
[Meng Guxue should also have received the news by this time, right? She can't sit still. If this happens, will she come to our Qiao family? 】
————
Meng Mansion.
When Meng Guxue learned the news, the bowl in her hand almost fell to the ground.
How could the second prince have such deep love for her?
At this moment, Meng Guxue was extremely convinced that the second prince would never let her go!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tremble all over, and her hands and feet were cold.
No, she doesn't want to die!
Baili Chengyou alone may not be enough. In order to save her life, she needs more helpers!
