Chapter 27 I am a filler, a crooked seedling, a shrimp that escaped the net
Luo Wuchen was stunned at first, and then the tips of his ears turned blood red.
Because he didn't expect her to ask so openly.
Before he could say anything, Su Lin, who had just returned from the morning court session, and the eunuch who announced the imperial decree arrived at the general's residence.
Following the eunuch's shrill voice, "Your Majesty has an order," everyone in the general's mansion knelt to receive the order.
As the eunuch read out the words on the imperial edict one by one, Luo Wuchen's originally bright eyes dimmed in an instant, like a lamp extinguished in the twilight.
Looking at the satisfied expressions on the faces of her closest relatives, Luo Wuchen stared at Su Yuyan, feeling an immense bitterness in his heart.
After listening to the eunuch read the imperial edict, Su Yuyan's fists stiffened.
What? Marriage? What kind of marriage? Is a woman supposed to just focus on being the richest person in the world and then live happily ever after?
If one day in the future you meet someone who makes you interested, you can just spend some money to sleep with them and be happy.
Thinking of this, her brain was working rapidly.
Soon, a bold idea was born in my mind.
After the eunuch left, the lonely Luo Wuchen also left the general's mansion.
Su Yuyan, whose mind was full of how to get Prince Rui to cancel the engagement, had no time to ask Luo Wuchen whether he had any feelings for her.
After hearing the imperial decree granting marriage, Mrs. Du, Su Zhan, Su Zhe and Su Yuyan had completely different thoughts. They were sincerely happy.
Seeing that his daughter was unhappy, Su Lin thought that she was still thinking about the prince, so he tried to comfort her.
"At the morning court today, Prince Rui, who witnessed and heard the imperial decree granting the marriage, was as surprised as I was. Therefore, this marriage was most likely granted by the Queen Mother at His Majesty's request."
"Yan'er, you and Prince Rui are already husband and wife. For you, Prince Rui is your best destination."
Mrs. Du also held her daughter's hand and spoke earnestly.
"Yes, Yan'er, there are rumors everywhere now, and marrying Prince Rui is the best choice for you."
"Your father fought alongside Prince Rui on the battlefield several times. He said Prince Rui's military prowess surpassed his own. Such a man of both civil and military prowess is the object of admiration for many women in Kyoto. Furthermore, Prince Rui's mansion is clean and free of all the trouble."
Su Zhan also gave a sincere evaluation.
"I once fought alongside my father on the battlefield alongside His Royal Highness Prince Rui. Not only was His Royal Highness Prince Rui incredibly skilled, he was also incredibly skilled in deploying troops. Without his vast knowledge, he wouldn't be so gifted."
Seeing that her relatives were so satisfied with this marriage, Su Yuyan not only did not refute them, but also pretended that what they said made sense.
After chatting with her closest relatives and returning to her room, Su Yuyan, who didn't want to get married, made a decision that went against her ancestors: she decided to immediately go to the groom to discuss the cancellation of the engagement.
Once you make up your mind, you should act immediately without any hesitation.
then.
She took Xiu'er to Prince Rui's Mansion.
Prince Rui, who had originally planned to go to the general's mansion after the morning court session, returned to his own mansion first because the eunuch who announced the decree followed Su Lin back to the mansion to announce the decree.
He planned to visit the general's residence with some rare treasures after lunch. After all, Su Yuyan had been criticized for not marrying her.
Even though she didn't really want to get married, it was indeed her that people were pointing fingers at these days.
If I bring some valuable gifts and chat with Su Lin and his wife for a while, they will understand that I am here to apologize.
Then he would tell Su Lin and his wife that on the day of their wedding, he would bring Su Yuyan home with a grand wedding dress and a sedan chair carried by eight people, and use his own actions to stop the rumors.
Jiang Hanyu trained every day, regardless of the extreme cold or heat. Therefore, as soon as he returned to the palace, he would practice his moves in the martial arts training ground. When Jiang Hanyu heard the doorman come to report that Su Yuyan was outside the palace gate asking to see him, he was stunned for a moment, then he curled his lips imperceptibly:
Did she think the same as he did, and also come to ease the confrontation between them when they first met?
"Take her to the front hall and wait."
After saying this, he hurried towards the main garden.
"Lingyun, tell the servants to boil water."
"Ling Feng, have the servants fumigate my black brocade robe with incense."
After Ling Yun took the order and left, Ling Feng slapped his head and then smiled foolishly.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, one dresses to please oneself. You bathed Miss Su and applied incense to her. You must be terribly in love with her!"
"Your Majesty, Luo Wuchen went to the General's Mansion again early this morning. Seeing that you were in a good mood after returning from the morning court, I did not report it to you to avoid ruining your mood."
"Now that the imperial decree has been issued, Lin Heqing and Luo Wuchen can only be sad and heartbroken."
Hearing that Luo Wuchen went to see Su Yuyan again early in the morning, Jiang Hanyu felt jealous and his eyes were as sharp as knives.
"Who allowed you to hold back? For three consecutive days, practice an extra hour each day."
Ling Feng: “!!!”
Ling Feng, who was smiling a second ago, stopped smiling instantly.
Not only did he stop laughing, but his face immediately fell...
No, why would I be punished for such a joyous occasion as an arranged marriage? Why am I always the one who gets hurt...
When Jiang Hanyu stepped into the front hall, he saw Su Yuyan with her hands behind her back, looking at the many valuable antiques displayed in the hall one by one as she walked.
Today she was wearing a moon-white gauze dress, tassels around her waist, moon-shaped earrings in her ears, and a jade hairpin on her head.
With flowing black hair, snow-white skin, beautiful face, red lips, white teeth, and sparkling watery eyes, she is like a magnolia bud about to bloom, beautiful but not delicate, gorgeous but not vulgar.
"Why do you come to see me?"
Su Yuyan, who was carefully examining the antique, turned to look at Jiang Hanyu upon hearing this.
Today he was wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with gold thread. He looked graceful and dignified, and majestic without even being angry, like a jade tree in front of a palace, showing the royal style.
Looking at the exquisitely crafted face of a man opposite her, Su Yuyan had to admit that this was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her two lifetimes.
"I have something to discuss with the prince alone. Please ask all the servants here to leave first."
A hint of smile appeared in Jiang Hanyu's handsome eyes.
She was quite proud and asked everyone to leave before shaking hands and making peace.
After all the servants in the front hall had left, Su Yuyan got straight to the point.
"That's right."
"I grew up in the countryside, unskilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and my manners and behavior are incomparable to those of the wealthy families in Kyoto. I can be said to be a crooked seedling, a mule that has fallen off the chain, a shrimp that has slipped through the net, a zither with a broken string, and a yu that is just for show."
"And His Highness Prince Rui can pacify the world with his pen, and determine the fate of the world with his sword. He is a lone wolf, a howling dragon at the moon, a entrenched dragon, a colt treading on snow, a falcon skimming through shadows, an owl patrolling the night, and a steed chasing the sun."
"His Royal Highness Prince Rui is so outstanding, the selection of the Princess Rui must have very high intellectual requirements, but it is obvious that I do not meet the requirements in terms of intelligence, so Your Highness, please step in and cancel the engagement."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Hanyu's aura suddenly dropped, and a silent pressure spread out.
"Are you done?"
Seeing that he did not agree to cancel the engagement, Su Yuyan added.
"Although the Queen Mother hopes that the prince will marry, it doesn't matter who he marries, as long as the prince marries."
"It was just an accident between us, and the prince once vowed that he would never marry me. Since we are incompatible, we should not marry and make each other unhappy."
"I've already thought of a reason for the prince to break off the engagement. He went to the Imperial Court and the Queen Mother and said: Su Yuyan has a terrible reputation. If the prince doesn't want her, I don't want her either."
