After all, Xiao Cunyu was a powerless little waste, so the emperor was actually relieved to favor such a person.
"Since you like him, I will not pursue the crime of bewitching the princess. It's just that this marriage... two royal princesses are fighting for one husband. It won't look good if it gets out..." The emperor wanted to find fault with Xiao Cunyu to save his face, but now he can't scold him casually.
"Your Majesty has just granted them a marriage, and it would be inappropriate to take it back immediately. This time, the two imperial sisters have lost their harmony and implicated three noble ladies. You need to give an explanation. There is a drought in the south now, so why not invite the two imperial sisters to the imperial temple to pray for the victims and stay there for three to five months. After that, you can say that the two are incompatible and use this as an excuse to cancel the marriage. By then, the rumors in the city should have dissipated, and the matter would not be worth mentioning." Ying Huaiji said slowly.
To cancel the engagement directly would be a slap in the face of the royal family, and he could not make such a suggestion now.
However, it is not difficult to send both imperial sisters away together.
"I heard that Xiao Qilang saved the girl from the Jiang family. The two of them were wearing thin clothes and hugged each other in the water. Is this true?" The emperor did not respond to him.
He now wants to cancel this marriage.
He didn't want to say a word about the man who caused his daughter to be jealous and cause trouble.
Besides, Baoyi is still making a fuss, saying she doesn't want to get married.
Ying Huaiji was stunned for a moment: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Xiao Qilang jumped into the water to save people in a moment of urgency, so some contact is inevitable..."
"If that's the case, then he's ruining the Jiang family's daughter's innocence. How can such a man be worthy of the princess?" The emperor retorted, "Since he's not worthy, then this marriage will be cancelled. I'll let your two sisters go to the Imperial Temple to pray for blessings and avoid the limelight. But as for Xiao Cunyu... since he's a member of the Xiao family, I won't pursue his actions for ruining his innocence. I'll simply cancel the engagement and give him the Jiang family's daughter. Let the marriage be completed soon!"
As a prince consort, he must remain a virgin for the princess.
The third princess was wrong, but as a princess, being wrong was also right.
"Father, Xiao Cunyu has no friendship with the girls from the Jiang family." Ying Huaiji's heart skipped a beat.
"I am the Son of Heaven. It is his blessing to grant him a marriage. There is no love now, but it will come naturally after marriage. Prince, if you had appointed a Crown Princess earlier, I would not have to explain it to you again. Okay, I know you value Xiao Qilang, but the girl from the Jiang family is not bad. Their status matches and their character is flawless. It is enough for her to be paired with Xiao Cunyu. It can be regarded as compensation for not being able to become a prince consort. I am tired too. You can go back." The emperor closed his eyes slightly.
He was indeed a little tired, his head was heavy and he was irritable, but the prince always spoke with moderation, allowing him to maintain his composure.
But if the prince continues to bother him, he won't even want to see his son again.
Ying Huaiji knew him very well and knew that it was useless to say anything more.
He retreated obediently and glanced at the eunuch serving outside. The other party immediately understood. As soon as the prince left, the emperor took a sedan chair to the beauties in the harem.
Ying Huaiji was also a little annoyed. He didn't expect that this matter would still cause complications.
He had expected the two sisters to fight. He had even secretly instigated the conflict, and coupled with the rumors spread by the common people, the marriage was bound to fail.
Unfortunately, there is another Jiang Zhi.
"Go and check what kind of person Jiang Zhi is." After leaving the palace, Ying Huaiji immediately gave the order.
Jiang Zhi's identity was simple, and it was easy to find out. When the emperor's edict spread throughout the capital the next day, he had a deeper understanding of Jiang Zhi.
This girl has a pretty good character.
