Chapter 28 Other women can recite poems, but she only knows how to go against herself!
"I think the package can be returned."
Jiang Hanyu: "...!"
The Su family has a clean and upright tradition and values loyalty and honesty, so how could such a mudslide happen?
And, unexpectedly?
Does she mean that if she had met another man instead of herself that day, she would also have sex with that man?
Su Yuyan's eagerness to break off the engagement and her few words cut through his flesh and blood like a knife, penetrating deep into his bones.
Seeing that he was full of murderous intent and still hadn't made his attitude clear, Su Yuyan took a few steps forward and stood on tiptoe to whisper in his ear.
"Your Majesty, don't forget you told me yourself—I would rather marry a widow with two children than you."
"So, Your Highness, please find a way to cancel the engagement, even if it's just for the sake of not breaking your promise."
The warm and fragrant breath beside his ears made Jiang Hanyu, who had never been in close contact with a woman, feel an explosive numbness all over his body, as if he had been electrocuted.
But her unwillingness to marry him made him feel as if his heart was being pinched.
Is she so rejecting me and so unwilling to marry me?
Jiang Hanyu suppressed his anger and heartache, and uttered cold words.
"How can a marriage granted by the Emperor be treated as a joke?"
Seeing that he had no intention of breaking off the engagement, the expectant look on Su Yuyan's face immediately disappeared, replaced by an undisguised disappointment.
Looking at the undisguised disappointment on her face, Jiang Hanyu felt a surge of inexplicable anger.
Is she so unwilling to marry me because she still wants to marry the prince or because Lin Heqing and Luo Wuchen catch her eye?
The bitterness and pain in Jiang Hanyu's heart grew rapidly, but he was unwilling to argue with her, lest she reject him even more.
So he pretended nothing had happened and left the front hall.
Seeing that Jiang Hanyu had no intention of canceling the engagement, Su Yuyan analyzed why the Queen Mother suddenly granted the marriage and the political impact of this marriage: Now that Prince Kang is dead and Prince Rui has made great military achievements, the Crown Prince will definitely be wary of him everywhere and regard him as a thorn in his side.
The Crown Prince has the support of the Queen's maternal family, and the family power of the Crown Prince's several women cannot be underestimated, especially the Crown Princess. She is the eldest daughter of Duke Jiang. Duke Jiang not only has achievements but also has a wide range of connections, which can bring great help to the Crown Prince.
However, Prince Rui's mother was of humble origin, his uncle's family was unable to help Prince Rui, and he did not marry a few rich ladies to expand his power, which was ultimately unsafe. After all, human hearts were unpredictable, and there was no brotherhood in the royal family at all.
That's why the Queen Mother took action at this time to transfer the Su family's power to Prince Rui so that he could compete with the Crown Prince.
For Prince Rui, the Queen Mother is the closest person to him, and the Queen Mother's lifelong wish is to see him get married. Since the Queen Mother has considered and planned every step for him, it doesn't matter who he marries. Now that the imperial edict has been issued, why should he do something to disobey the imperial edict and make the Queen Mother sad?
Besides, the Crown Prince had already annulled an arranged marriage, so it was understandable that Prince Rui did not want to damage the royal family's reputation again.
Su Yuyan, who had failed in her attempt to break off the engagement, analyzed the situation briefly and became thoughtful:
The emperor has granted the marriage, and the groom has no intention of canceling the engagement. If I disobey the order and refuse the marriage, it will definitely bring great trouble to the Su family.
Because thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor, it is an honor for the ministers to have the emperor grant them a marriage.
Since this marriage is a done deal, I'll just marry her and stay together.
Anyway, it doesn't matter where you lie down, you can lie down in Prince Rui's Palace and enjoy the monthly salary given to you by the court.
Well...it seems a little better than being a parasite and eating your own food.
If something happens in the future that makes life unhappy and you no longer want to be the Princess of Rui with salary, you can just find a way to get a divorce.
After some simple planning, she turned and left.
On this side, Jiang Hanyu returned to the study and felt irritable and could not concentrate on dealing with the government affairs at hand.
The scene where she had no intention of marrying him at all played in his mind over and over again, tormenting him over and over again.
Other women can recite poems, but this woman can only do the opposite. Yet, I can't help but fall in love with her!
After a long moment, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Not only did he fall in love with such a rebellious woman, but he also insisted on marrying her.
He didn't know what he liked about her, nor did he know when he fell in love with her. Perhaps he had lost his heart as early as when he first met her and she was bold and unruly.
Jiang Hanyu always felt that he had a serious mental illness because he witnessed his biological mother's tragic death with blood coming out of all seven orifices, which caused him to have no feelings for women for so many years.
Now that there is a woman in his heart, he will never hesitate to take the initiative because of face and status issues.
On the contrary, he is a person who will take the initiative to take action to get what he wants.
Because he feels that what he has obtained through his own ability cannot be taken away by others.
After lunch, Jiang Hanyu, who had coaxed herself into submission, went to the general's residence.
And he went with twenty ceremonial guards.
Each ceremonial guard held an exquisitely crafted brocade box.
After sitting down, Jiang Hanyu got straight to the point.
"General Su, your daughter has been criticized because of me these days. These rare treasures are a token of my appreciation."
"As for the rumors circulating in the streets, I will use practical actions to silence the people."
Su Lin and his wife looked incredulous: a dignified prince actually came to apologize in person?
Their daughter had previously publicly expressed her love for the crown prince and declared that she would not marry anyone else but him. They had originally thought that Prince Rui would only go through the motions with this arranged marriage, but they had not expected him to be so considerate of the Su family.
"Your Highness, Prince Rui, you are too kind. My daughter has only been brought back to the palace for half a year. Her words and actions are somewhat unconventional, and she has already been subject to much criticism."
Jiang Hanyu still looked cold and lonely.
"Princess Rui, you should be so glorious."
"I will make Princess Rui go from being the target of criticism to being the target of envy and jealousy."
"The betrothal gift sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is from the royal family. In addition, I will send another betrothal gift to the General's Mansion in the name of the Rui Palace at 3:00 PM tomorrow."
"On the wedding day, there will be a hundred miles of red makeup and a sedan chair carried by eight people, and everything will be complete."
Upon hearing this, Su Lin and his wife's eyes were filled with joy.
Because from ancient times till now, the betrothal gifts for the princes have all come from the national treasury, and no prince has ever paid an additional betrothal gift out of his own pocket to the girl's family!
Prince Rui's attitude not only quickly shut up the gossips of the people, but also gave his daughter enough dignity!
"I, your Majesty, thank you for your kindness."
Jiang Hanyu's face still looked cold.
"This king will never treat his wife unfairly."
"Since the imperial decree has been issued, no matter who becomes my princess, unlimited glory is the most important thing."
Seeing Prince Rui being so courteous, Su Lin and his wife were extremely happy: not only did he not intend to disrespect or humiliate his daughter because of her previous high-profile display of love for the prince, but he treated her with the highest etiquette!
Such humility and profoundness made Su Lin and his wife very satisfied.
Therefore, both parties were very satisfied with today's interview.
However, Su Lin and his wife's satisfaction was beyond words, while Jiang Hanyu's satisfaction was hidden deep in his heart, because his face showed a noble and cold look from beginning to end.
The emperor's marriage between Prince Rui and Su Yuyan caused an uproar in Kyoto.
The prince Rui, such a handsome man who is both civil and military, actually fell into the hands of the notorious Su Yuyan!
If that were the case, many people would think they were good enough!
