Chapter 340 When a man gets married, a woman gets married
"Men should marry when they are old enough, and women should marry when they are old enough."
Five years later.
Xiao Jin's eyebrows were sharp, and he stared meaningfully at his eldest son in front of him: "Dan'er, do you understand?"
"I don't understand."
Xiao Yundan had just turned seventeen and was a young boy who had just grown up. He had eyes and eyebrows like his father, cold and charming.
He has a noble and aloof temperament and is the unrivaled crown prince of the Great Yan Kingdom!
He was wise and intelligent, and all the civil and military officials in the court admired him.
Even the people praised him for his clear rewards and punishments, benevolence and generosity, and called him a wise crown prince!
Xiao Yundan has an excellent reputation outside.
It is what everyone expects!
at home……
He couldn't hold back his stern and handsome face, and with a look of resentment in his eyes he said, "Father, I am only seventeen."
Xiao Jin nodded to show that he understood, but he couldn't stop him: "Dan'er, it's time for you to get married."
Xiao Yundan shook his head repeatedly.
He opened his mouth and said, "Father, you didn't marry Mother until you were twenty-seven! I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry."
"Can you be the same as Father?"
Xiao Jin's face darkened, and he spoke with a fatherly authority, "You were born the Crown Prince. The whole country hopes that you will get married soon!"
"How is Seventeen small?"
"Seventeen, eighteen in lunar age. In the blink of an eye, you'll be twenty. You won't be able to marry me even if you wait until you're thirty!"
Xiao Yundan was stunned.
How can you calculate it this way?
Father is so outrageous!
"Dan'er, your father will give you three months. If you can't choose your own Crown Princess, your father will decide on your marriage!"
"I won't..." Xiao Yundan's words of resistance disappeared under the cold and terrifying gaze of his father.
He muttered quietly in his heart: He wants to find his mother!
"Don't look for your mother!"
Xiao Jin had long guessed his eldest son's thoughts. He strangled him in the cradle and threatened him, "If you dare to tell your mother, your father will hold a banquet to select a concubine for you tomorrow!"
Xiao Yundan: “…Oh.”
"Oh what, did you hear that clearly?"
"I heard it clearly. I obey your order."
Xiao Yundan left feeling frustrated.
Where can he find a wife in three months?
His father didn't let him tell his mother, but he didn't say he couldn't tell his younger brothers and sisters.
Xiao Yundan turned around and complained to his younger siblings, "Father is going too far! Three months, am I supposed to ask God to give me a beautiful bride?"
The sixteen-year-old Xiao Tangyue looks like her mother, bright, delicate and pretty.
She propped her chin up with both hands, blinked her long eyelashes, and gave a mischievous grin, "This is so easy! As long as my brother spreads the news, all the ladies in Kyoto will be vying to be the Crown Princess!"
"hiss--"
Nine-year-old Xiao Kangyan has a cold pale complexion, a small face, big eyes, and lips that are pale pink.
He gasped and shook his head like a rattle: "No!"
"Royal sister, they will tear my brother to pieces!"
"That's right!" Xiao Tangyue scratched his chin and muttered, "I only have one brother, so there are too many wolves and too little meat."
Xiao Yundan couldn't keep a straight face. He felt that his younger brother and sister were not reliable at all.
"Forget it, I'll go find my cousin!"
Xiao Tangyue shook her head: "Cousin, I don't think he can do that. He's still sleeping on the floor!"
"I heard that Prince Rong regretted his actions and is now chasing Princess Rong around every day, begging for her forgiveness."
Xiao Kangyan took over the conversation, his clear eyes looking at his brother: "Royal brother, Prince Rong is busy with his own affairs and can't help you!"
Xiao Yundan: “…”
So desperate!
Why is there no reliable man in the Xiao family?
Xiao Yundan pondered deeply, and then an idea came to him!
He said goodbye excitedly, leaving behind a sentence: "I will go find the Marquis of Nv Ying!"
"Huh? Sister, why did my brother go to see Marquis Nv Ying?"
"If Marquis Nüying knew, it would be like the Queen Mother..."
Xiao Tangyue dragged out her tone.
The brother and sister looked at each other and covered their mouths with their hands and laughed.
Father is going to be scolded~
Xiao Tangyue's eyes sparkled. She raised her hand and touched the jeweled crabapple hairpin on her bun. She opened her mouth and urged, "Brother, go to Changle Palace for dinner tonight!"
"OK!"
Xiao Kangyan couldn't wait to see his father make a fool of himself.
But he was a little confused, blinked and asked: "Royal sister, aren't you going?"
Xiao Tangyue shook her head repeatedly: "I'm not going! My brother was already being plotted against marriage by our father when he was seventeen, and I'm not safe for sixteen. I'm not going back to the palace tonight, I'm staying at the Duke's Mansion!"
Xiao Kangyan curled his lips, "Royal sister is lying."
He is nine years old and is not a child who can be easily fooled.
Xiao Kangyan muttered accusingly, "The emperor's sister will most likely go to find either Mo Ming or Xu Yan."
"Wow! Yan'er is so smart, sister, give me a hug and a kiss!"
Xiao Tangyue hugged Xiao Kangyan and wanted to kiss his face.
Xiao Kangyan's face flushed with anxiety, and he quickly pushed her away: "No! There's a difference between men and women, my royal sister, you can't do this!"
"Then you have to keep it a secret~"
Xiao Tangyue smiled slyly and reached out to pinch her brother's cheek: "I've arranged for them to go boating on the lake and watch the lantern festival together tonight. Don't tell anyone!"
In order to defend his innocence, Xiao Kangyan angrily agreed, "Okay."
"Thank you, brother. I'll leave first~"
Xiao Tangyue took two steps out and turned back to remind her, "Brother, you have to watch and listen carefully! Come back and tell me how wonderful it is!"
"Oh...I see!"
"A-choo!"
Xiao Jin touched the tip of his nose, feeling a bad premonition.
In the evening, he walked into Changle Palace and happened to see Zhu Ying, the Marquis of Nvying, coming out with her and Pei Xueyi's daughter.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects! Jin'er, quickly pay your respects."
The three-year-old baby's voice was soft and milky. Pei Jin looked up at Xiao Jin and said, "Jin'er greets the Emperor, godfather."
The daughter of Zhu Ying and Pei Xueyi recognized the emperor and empress as her godfather and godmother.
This was Yuntang's intention, so Xiao Jin naturally agreed.
Xiao Jin bent down and touched Pei Jin's little head, "Jin'er, be good."
At the same time, he asked in a cold and indifferent tone: "What is the purpose of Marquis Nv Ying entering the palace?"
"Your Majesty, the Empress said yesterday that she missed Jin'er, so I just brought Jin'er to the palace to pay her respects."
"Oh, dinner is almost ready. Why don't you stay for dinner?"
"Hahaha, no no!"
Zhu Ying was so guilty that she didn't dare to look up. She picked up her daughter and said, "My husband is still waiting for us to go back for dinner. I'll take my leave first!"
Zhu Ying held the baby and ran faster than a rabbit.
Xiao Jin is very scheming and I can tell at first glance that there is something wrong!
After a brief thought, he walked into Changle Palace...
"Hello, father." Xiao Kangyan was holding a plate of pastries. His cheeks were bulging from eating so much, and his mouth was stained shiny by molasses.
Xiao Jin glanced at him casually and said, "Eat more and gain some weight."
"oh."
Xiao Jin looked around but couldn't find Yun Tang. He had no choice but to return and ask his youngest son, "Where's your mother?"
"The Queen Mother has gone to find the whip."
"Um?"
Xiao Jin's heart skipped a beat. "Yan'er, what is your mother looking for a whip for? Dan'er, did Yueyaer make a mistake?"
"It's not my brother or sister." Xiao Kangyan blinked, "It's my father!"
Xiao Jin took a breath.
Coincidentally, Yuntang found the whip and came out.
She blocked the doorway, her almond-shaped eyes glaring at Xiao Jin coldly and unkindly: "I heard that His Majesty wants to grant Dan'er a marriage?"
"Give me an explanation, Your Majesty!"
