Chapter 932 My Xier will never be a concubine

When he saw Mo Jinchuan, Yan Yichuan didn't feel embarrassed at all about being caught talking behind someone's back. Instead, he felt that he had come at the right time.

He said bluntly: "Since the prince happened to hear it, there is no need for me to waste my breath on it.

Today, I am here to bear witness that the engagement between you and my Xier is annulled. From now on, we will part ways and marry our own wives, and we will have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Mo Jinchuan bowed to Yan Yichuan and said respectfully, "Grandfather is an elder, and I shouldn't refuse his request.

But this is about Xier and I's lifelong affairs, so I'm sorry I can't obey your order."

Yan Yichuan frowned, "Do you know the rules of my Yan family's marriage of daughters?"

Mo Jinchuan: "Any daughter of the Yan family who marries a husband cannot marry two women. If she is forty years old and has no children, she can adopt a son from a side branch.

If you violate the vows you made at the beginning of your marriage, you will be separated from your spouse and will not be entangled with him/her. "

Hearing this, Yan Yichuan nodded, "Since you already know, there is no need for me to waste my breath on it.

Xier was raised under my care. She has been pampered by the whole family since she was young and has never suffered any grievances.

That kid from the Lin family earlier was so ungrateful that he married my Xier and yet he still dared to be fickle. He deserved to be abandoned."

Mo Jinchuan immediately responded, "Grandfather, don't worry. I've been in love with Xi'er since I was a teenager. It's a blessing to marry her, and I would never dare to have second thoughts."

Yan Yichuan snorted coldly, "It's all nice talk, but when that unfaithful man came to ask for Xier's hand in marriage, he made a lot of vows just like yours.

They say a man's knees are made of gold, but when it comes time to turn against someone, they forget everything."

Not to mention Xier, even when Song Muen asked to marry his daughter Qing'er, he also made all kinds of promises.

Didn’t I end up letting her down?

Just listen to the oaths of these men.

Yan Yichuan looked at Song Yanxi and said earnestly, "Xi'er, you must remember that you can't just listen to what someone says to you, but you should look at what he actually does for you."

Song Yanxi nodded, "Grandfather, Xier will remember this."

"It's not enough to just write it down, you have to remember it in your heart."

Yan Yichuan didn't care what Mo Jinchuan thought, and said to himself: "If you insist on marrying him, I won't stop you.

But my Yan family needs a promise from His Royal Highness Prince Jin."

He stared into Mo Jinchuan's eyes and said word by word, "Your Highness's succession ceremony tomorrow will be held at the same time as the ceremony for the empress's coronation."

Song Yanxi: "Grandfather..."

Yan Yichuan glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and said, "Xier, don't let your grandfather down."

Hearing this, Song Yanxi could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

When she was determined to marry Lin Tingfeng, she vowed to her grandfather and mother that the man she had chosen was a man of noble character and would be able to live in harmony with her in the future.

But in the end, she still disappointed them.

With that previous experience in mind, it's normal for my grandfather to be so cautious now.

But my grandfather has always been fond of the prince, and we know that he is a noble person, so why should we force him to make a promise?

If he is as ungrateful as Lin Tingfeng, it will be useless even if he says a lot of nice things.

My grandfather usually dislikes empty promises and doesn't believe in them. What happened today?

Just when Song Yanxi was at a loss for words, she heard Mo Jinchuan say with some difficulty: "Grandfather, I'm afraid there's something wrong with the position of Queen."

"What's wrong with that?" Yan Yichuan frowned. "Could it be that the prince, who keeps saying he wants to marry my Xier, actually wants to make her a concubine?"

His face immediately turned cold, "Boy, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible.

My Xier will never be a concubine."

Seeing that the old man was about to get angry, Mo Jinchuan hurriedly said, "Grandfather, you misunderstood. I never had the intention of making Xier my concubine."

Yan Yichuan's face darkened even further. "Don't tell me you're going to imitate that kid from the Lin family and have a concubine."

He said coldly, "Your Majesty, there is no need for you to do anything. I will also help him teach the prince a lesson, so that he won't be ridiculed by the world if the news gets out."

Hearing his threatening words, Mo Jinchuan immediately explained: "Grandfather, please understand. I only want to marry Xier in this life, and I will never have second thoughts.

As for the position of Empress, I have no ambition to be an emperor, so naturally I cannot promise the Yan family the position of Empress."

He was talking about the Yan family, not just Song Yanxi.

While telling Yan Yichuan his feelings, he also conveyed another attitude.

Not only was he not interested in the chair, he also had no intention of playing with state affairs, and he would not force the Yan family to be involved in the family feud again because of his relationship with Song Yanxi.

No matter who ascends the throne, he will not allow the daughter of the other party's Nanfang family to enter the palace as a concubine.

If he is greedy, just change him.

Yan Yichuan narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Have you thought about it?"

Mo Jinchuan: "I've thought about it."

"Don't you regret it?"

"No regrets."

Their eyes met, and Yan Yichuan suddenly smiled, stroked his beard and said, "I accept you as my grandson-in-law."

When Song Yanxi was invited to the small Buddhist temple in Concubine De's palace, she was still holding the palm-leaf fan she used to fan the fire when decocting medicine.

Seeing her, Princess Huayang's eyes immediately lit up with smiles, and she waved her hand and said, "Come here, come to my side."

Song Yanxi followed his instructions and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Your Highness greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Hearing this, Princess Huayang couldn't help but frown, "You little kid, didn't I tell you last time that you don't need to be polite when you see me next time?"

As she spoke, a smile spread across her face, and she sighed, "Time flies by so fast. I always feel like Jinchuan is still the little kid who used to follow me around and call me aunt. In the blink of an eye, you're all getting married."

Song Yanxi lowered her eyes and did not respond.

She knew that Princess Huayang had specially asked someone to favor her, not just to say a few words of comfort.

He had just had someone replace the incense in His Majesty's bedroom, and then he sent someone to invite her. His intention was self-evident.

There is just one thing that Song Yanxi hasn't figured out yet.

Even though Princess Huayang was dissatisfied with Emperor Xuande's decision to bypass Mo Jinchuan and appoint the Ninth Prince as the Crown Prince, she should not have been so hasty as to reveal all her ambitions openly.

There was no benefit to her in doing so.

Emperor Xuande's current health condition means that even if she does nothing, he will only be able to survive for a year or two.

Even if we look further ahead and assume he can live for two years, the Ninth Prince will still be less than three years old at that time.

Wouldn't it be easier to control a young child than Mo Jinchuan, the "rebellious" nephew?

Princess Huayang is a smart person. She would definitely understand such a simple truth.

But she still chose to do so. Even though this action might be infamous as a hen crowing at dawn in history books, she didn't care.

Could it be that there is something else they haven't found out yet?

Princess Huayang fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand and suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, it will be a happy day for General Lin and Princess Shihan in a few days."
