The other party insisted on canceling the marriage, and she had no choice. She couldn't make a fuss just because her son liked her so much.
Back then, his son was abducted and sold to Jiangzhou. Thanks to the Yang family, they saved his son. If the Mu family really made a fuss, it would not only bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion, but also make the Yang family think that they were ungrateful.
Even if the marriage fails, it will not lead to enmity.
Mu Xue witnessed Yang Xin meeting her cousin today, so she naturally knew why her cousin was distracted. But now her cousin has married, and her second aunt probably invited Yang Xin to help her cousin give up the idea and live a good life.
"It just so happens that I know Miss Yang. I'll talk to her and then have someone tell Second Aunt."
Xu thanked him repeatedly.
"Excuse me, Princess."
"Cousin, are you still in love with Miss Yang? If so, why did you marry?"
Hearing Mu Xue's words, Xu said with some regret, "Your cousin is not young anymore. I'm worried that he won't be able to get over this and will forget the old one when he finds someone new."
At first her son was unwilling, but she could not bear to see him torturing himself like this, so she said that she was not in good health and hoped that he would get married as soon as possible so that she could have children.
She chose her niece as her daughter-in-law, and felt that it was unfair to her niece, so she told her niece that her son had someone he liked, and if her niece couldn't accept it, she would give up. Unexpectedly, her niece said she didn't care.
The two hit it off immediately, and the son was a filial son, so he agreed under her coercion.
She thought everything would develop in a good direction, but her son returned to his previous state after seeing Yang Xin today.
…
The next day.
A burst of screams broke out in the Sixth Princess's Mansion.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
The maid pushed the door open and came forward to ask.
The Sixth Princess jumped up from the bed and rubbed her black hair.
All the memories of yesterday's drunkenness came back to my mind clearly.
It's over, she's finished.
Which bastard called my father here?
No, if the emperor sees me acting drunk, then Qin Qianqian and Du Shuyan will also be implicated by me.
If the emperor has a bad impression of the two of them because of this incident, my second and fourth brothers will come to settle the score with me.
Thinking of this, the Sixth Princess quickly instructed the maid.
"Pack your things quickly."
She had to find a place to hide, otherwise she would not only be scolded by her father, but also beaten by her second and fourth brothers.
Since it concerns their happiness, she can't guarantee whether they will go crazy.
"Princess, are you okay?"
The maid saw that the expression on the Sixth Princess's face kept changing and thought that she was still drunk.
"I'm fine, go pack your things."
"Where are you packing up and going?"
A familiar voice sounded at the door, and then the emperor came in holding Yu Yiluo, followed by the fifth princess.
[You've arrived just in time. Is Sixth Princess planning to pack up and run away?]
"Father...Father, why are you here?"
The Sixth Princess forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Your Majesty, your son, greets you. Will you not attend the court?"
Could it be that the emperor didn't even attend the morning court just to scold her?
[He still has to attend the morning court. He came to your house right after the morning court. I was wondering why the tyrant left the morning court so quickly today. It turns out it was because of this matter.]
"It seems that he remembered what happened yesterday."
The Emperor glared at the Sixth Princess and said, "You've embarrassed yourself enough to end up in a restaurant, and you're still drinking with Luo'er."
The Sixth Princess lowered her head. The Fourth Prince said that when the Emperor scolded people, she should just listen and wait until the Emperor finished scolding.
"Father, I know I was wrong."
"Aren't you going to pack your things? Where are you going to pack your things?"
Seeing that she said nothing, the emperor walked to the chair and sat down.
[Hahaha, why is Sixth Princess silent? Did she get some secret from Fourth Princess?]
"Get up."
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Princess thanked him and quickly stood up, thinking that her Fourth Brother's method was quite useful.
Before she could be happy, she heard the emperor say again: "From today on, you must copy the Buddhist scriptures in the mansion. When you finish copying, you can leave the mansion."
Looking at the thick Buddhist scripture brought by Eunuch Cao, the Sixth Princess' smile froze on her face.
How come she didn't know there were such thick Buddhist scriptures? She would have to copy them for a month without eating or drinking.
"Father..."
The emperor stood up and said expressionlessly, "Say one more word and I'll give you another book."
It’s fine if I just drink by myself, I also want to bring Luo’er with me.
Fortunately, Luo'er is still young. If she was about the same age, she would have been led astray.
The Sixth Princess shut her mouth obediently, fearing that the Emperor would give her another one.
[The tyrant is really harsh. Luckily, I have a good alcohol tolerance and good drinking habits, so I won't get drunk at all.]
emperor:"……"
"Copy it yourself, no one is allowed to help you. I will check it myself after you finish copying."
After the emperor took Yu Yiluo away, the Sixth Princess held the thick Buddhist scriptures with a look of despair on her face and looked at the Fifth Princess pitifully.
"Fifth sister, who on earth is the heartless person who summoned the emperor here?"
She deserves to die. Why doesn't she just fall asleep quietly after drinking, but has to clamor to see Luo'er?
"Third brother," the fifth princess helped her up.
The Sixth Princess, who had just stood up, collapsed again. She could still argue with the Fourth Prince, but this person was the Third Prince.
I can only admit defeat.
"Why didn't you knock me out then?"
The Sixth Princess cried, "Just knock me out and bring me back."
"I didn't expect that." The Fifth Princess patted her shoulder. "It's too late to say anything now."
The Sixth Princess hugged the Fifth Princess and looked at the Buddhist scriptures thrown aside.
"This isn't just copying Buddhist scriptures; it's clearly the beginning of destroying my freedom."
…
In the next few days, the incident of Prince Yueqing came to an end, there was still no news about Prince Duan, and the capital returned to peace again.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers from the Northern Frontier have arrived in the capital and met with their families. General Yao and his son Yao Kang request an audience."
The emperor signaled Eunuch Cao to bring the person in.
Yao Kang knelt heavily on the ground as soon as he entered the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty and I beg for your punishment."
[Kneeling is so loud, it hurts just listening to it.]
"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. The Yao family has guarded the northern border for many years and deserves rewards for their contributions. This incident also deserves punishment."
Yao Kang knelt on the ground and straightened his body. "I am willing to accept the punishment."
The emperor was silent for a moment. "Your merits and demerits will be offset. I will fine you one year's salary and you must guard the northern border well from now on."
Yao Kang looked up in disbelief. Seeing this, the emperor smiled and said, "Why, do you think my punishment is too light?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yao Kang kowtowed heavily and said, "I will swear to defend the northern border until my death and protect the peace of the people."
When he arrived in Beijing, he was brought by his father to see the emperor. He thought that if the emperor punished him, he would only ask not to implicate his family, and if he was a little greedy, he would just ask to see his sister. However, the emperor only fined him one year's salary.
Thinking of his misunderstanding of the emperor, Yao Kang felt ashamed.
"I admire your loyalty and righteousness, but if someone takes advantage of you, it will become your weakness."
Yao Kang lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice. I am ashamed."
The emperor said a few more words and sent Yao Kang and General Yao away.
