Princess He'an still couldn't escape the fate of marrying off to another country.
If she quickly married herself off or got engaged after Bei Lingyao arranged the marriage, this could have been avoided.
But she was obviously too confident, thinking that she could rest easy as the original owner would marry her off.
"No, this princess will not marry, even if she dies."
Princess He'an has been in high spirits recently, and she and her cousin Princess Mingyue are in perfect harmony, and their relationship is extremely good.
Even the prince was jealous.
With the efforts of Princess Mingyue Bei Yuzhu, the relationship between the prince and Bei Yuzhu quickly heats up.
Compared to the original owner who was an orphan, Bei Yuzhu is naturally better for the prince and the queen's lineage.
In the past, Bei Yuzhu was unwilling, so the original owner was engaged. Now that Bei Yuzhu is willing, they are of course happy to change the person.
Now the only princesses of marriageable age in the Yanyang royal family are Princess He and Princess An. All the older ones are married, and there are two princesses who are twelve or thirteen years old.
If the Yanyang Kingdom really wanted to force a princess who was only twelve or thirteen years old to marry, it would be outrageous, and the Emperor and Queen of Yanyang would not dare to do so.
After Emperor Yan Yang issued an edict for the original owner to marry a foreign princess, her reputation was greatly affected. Not only the military generals, but also many scholars in the world disagreed.
"Your Majesty, why must He An be the hegemon? The princess from Mobei won't be a real princess, but the princess from Monan can be chosen from the royal family."
The queen hurried to the imperial study to ask for an audience.
She had already chosen a husband for her daughter, who was the prime minister's son.
The current Marquis Dingyuan of the Bei family is a civil servant, but the Bei family started out as a military family. Although the old Marquis Bei and General Zhenbei are dead, their influence still exists.
The reason why General Zhenbei's daughter was sent to marry without any scruples was because the Bei family was now headed by the eldest branch, and Bei Kangshi's son had long been adopted into the eldest branch.
Moreover, the marriage was proposed by the eldest wife, and the royal family just went along with it.
Unexpectedly, she was one step too late and her daughter still had to marry. The queen was very angry that the emperor did not even discuss such a big matter with her.
After all, He An was the legitimate princess born to her, the queen, but the emperor didn't feel sorry for He An at all.
"Mobei has been completely offended. Only by marrying Anhe and marrying Monan can we further win over Monan."
"But Mo Nan has long been allied with the Xiyue Kingdom. Our Yanyang Kingdom and the Xiyue Kingdom are sworn enemies."
The queen only hopes that the emperor will withdraw his order and marry someone else.
"He An is the legitimate princess. Marrying her to Mo Nan is the only way to prove the sincerity of our Yanyang Kingdom. Only by winning Mo Nan over can we destroy the alliance between Mo Nan and Xiyue."
Emperor Yan Yang had thought it through. Xiyue and Mo Nan were just that, things that happened, and they were not unbreakable.
"Since Your Majesty wants a marriage alliance, how can you favor one over the other? I am just a legitimate princess. If He An and Mo Nan are to marry, who will Your Majesty send if other countries want marriage alliances?"
The emperor and the empress did not realize at this moment that they kept talking about marriage, but never thought about how to strengthen the military strength of Yanyang Kingdom so that there would be no need for the princess to marry.
"I have made up my mind on this matter. A marriage with Mo Nan is beneficial to Yan Yang Nation. Only Mo Nan can contain Mo Bei."
"It can be postponed until next year. The Sixth Princess will soon be coming of age..."
Before the queen could finish her words, the emperor shot her a sharp gaze, "Xiao Liu is only thirteen."
The queen returned disappointed and met her daughter who had come rushing over. "Mother, I don't want the marriage. I beg you to persuade my father. My father listens to you the most."
"Shut up"
The queen's face changed and she raised her hand to slap her daughter. How could she say such words so casually in public?
It would be fine if it happened in Fengyi Palace, but it happened at the gate of Fengyi Palace. Her daughter's stupid behavior would kill her and the prince.
"The Queen Mother Beats Her Son"
Princess He'an rubbed her face with her hand and looked at the Queen in disbelief. She didn't think she was wrong. She said aggrievedly, "Wasn't it Mother and Father who proposed the marriage of the orphan girl of the Bei family? An orphan girl was to be married off to Mobei, but why did you let me, a legitimate princess, marry off to Monan? I could choose from among the royal family and nobles."
Princess He'an's words were extremely devastating.
He offended the royal family and nobles.
There were no secrets in the harem, not to mention that some of the concubines were daughters of nobles. When she heard this, her face changed.
If the queen really did this, the first ones to suffer would be the concubines in her harem who came from noble families.
Their ability to gain a foothold in the harem, apart from the emperor's favor and offspring, depends on the support of their natal family.
If you offend your mother's family, they will be in trouble.
"Come here, He An's words are rude and she is under house arrest to prepare for her marriage."
The queen had a cold face and quickly made amends, completely disgusted with her daughter.
"No, mother, save me, mother, I don't want to marry."
Princess He'an was finally taken away with her mouth covered.
This matter spread throughout the entire harem, from the inside to the outside.
With the precedent of Princess Changning, many royal family members and nobles became vigilant and quickly arranged marriages for their daughters of marriageable age to avoid being targeted by the royal family.
Even if he escaped this time, what if there is a next time? After all, in addition to the north and south of the desert, there are five other countries. No one wants his daughter to marry into another country. It will not benefit them as the ministers.
As ministers of Yanyang State, if their daughters marry into another country, if there is any conflict between the two countries, they can easily be charged with treason.
After the eldest princess entered the palace, Emperor Yan Yang scolded her for a long time, "It was all your good idea..."
The emperor was so angry that he did not touch Bei Kangshi's children over the years to show his magnanimity.
But what made the emperor regret the most was the variable Wei Zhiyong, who was recommended to him by his younger sister.
"Royal brother, I didn't know Wei Zhiyong would be so stupid."
The princess said this and looked at the emperor, "If I knew that my brother was conspiring with Wei Zhiyong, I would never recommend Wei Zhiyong. Even if it was Bei Kangshi's children, I would not let them live."
The eldest princess also blamed the emperor and Wei Zhiyong in her heart. She had no idea that her brother was conspiring with Wei Zhiyong, and they had kept it from her for so many years.
If I had told her earlier, she would have been prepared.
Now the eldest princess is deeply regretful.
I thought I had Wei Zhiyong under my control for so many years, and I was also thinking about marrying my daughter to the prince. With Wei Zhiyong's support, I would have an extra helper.
All the trouble I'm in now is in vain.
After leaving the emperor's place, the eldest princess went to the queen's palace again, where she was naturally criticized and left the palace in depression.
"Where's the Marquis?"
The eldest princess frowned when she didn't see her husband. In the past, when she went to the palace, her husband would wait for her to come back, care about her and greet her.
When I came back this time, there was no one there.
"Princess, the Marquis is in Concubine Li's courtyard."
brush!
The eldest princess's face turned terrifying.
She only gave birth to a daughter. In order to show her virtue, she took her two maids as concubines, but it was only in name. The eldest princess never allowed her husband to visit her, nor did she allow the two maids to have any other thoughts. She only let them be concubines in public.
But I never expected that one day I would capsize in the gutter and be slapped in the face.
