Old Master Su sat on the armchair and took a long time to catch his breath. He said, "Zi'an, from now on, you should treat Cancan as your own daughter!"
"Dad, I understand." Su Zian nodded and promised.
As a result, the next day, everyone in the capital knew that the engagement between the Su and Cui families had been cancelled, and it was Cui Cancan herself who came to request the cancellation.
When this matter first came out, no one believed that it was Cui Cancan who took the initiative to propose it. They all thought that Young Master Su broke off the engagement because he couldn't bear to have such a fiancée.
Later, it was the Su family who came out to explain in person, and everyone believed it. After all, the Su family had an important person, that is, Tutor Su. He was the teacher of the current emperor, so naturally face was very important.
Now that the Su family has personally admitted it, it's not fake. That fat girl really broke off the engagement...
"Hasn't that Fatty Cui always been Young Master Su's henchman? He loves Young Master Cui to death, and everyone in the capital knows about it. Why would he be willing to cancel the engagement now?"
"Hey! Who knows? But Miss Cui disappeared for a long time ago. I almost forgot there was such a person in the capital."
"I heard that Fatty Cui has become prettier and slimmer, but I don't know if it's true."
"Hahahaha… I'm dying of laughter. You actually believe that? If she could become prettier and thinner, I'd stand upside down and eat shit."
"This... I also heard it through rumors. I haven't seen what Miss Cui looks like now." The person who spoke scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
He regretted it as soon as he said this. It was obviously not true. He actually said such nonsense, which really attracted the ridicule of others.
Similar things are happening almost all over the capital.
After all, anyone who can live in the imperial city, even most of the ordinary people, may have some kind of relationship with a noble.
Because this matter concerned the young master of the Su family, this young master from an upper-class and prestigious family became very popular in the capital for quite a while, until the eldest prince's wedding date drew closer, when his fame was gradually drowned out.
"The eldest prince's wedding is in three days. Why hasn't the emperor's decree for him to be crowned king come down yet?"
"I don't know, probably soon!"
"The eldest prince is the eldest son of the current emperor, so this title is natural. Perhaps the emperor hasn't decided on it yet."
"Maybe..."
As for the title of the eldest prince, it has not been announced yet, and officials in the court have been discussing it secretly, but it is unknown whether what they say is what they think in their hearts.
However, this did not affect the entire capital city's festive atmosphere at all, and there were many officers and soldiers patrolling back and forth in almost every street and alley in the capital city to escort this royal wedding.
Finally, on the day before the eldest prince's wedding, a plaque wrapped in red silk was delivered from the palace to the gate of the newly built eldest prince's mansion.
Ye Feiyu had a smile on his face at this time. He was secretly anxious about the fact that many people were talking about the fact that he had not been given a title yet, but he did not dare to ask his father. Even though he was anxious, he still looked calm.
Now that he saw the title had finally been awarded, he felt secretly relieved. He was looking forward to what title his father would give him, so he couldn't wait to see the plaque wrapped in red silk.
The eunuch holding the rice paper dustpan took out a piece of paper and uttered a shrill voice...
"The Crown Prince Ye Feiyu received the order..."
"Your son accepts the order!"
Ye Feiyu looked very proud as he lifted up his robe in front of him and knelt down.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: My eldest son, Ye Feiyu, seventeen years old, handsome and studious, brilliant and learned, will be married tomorrow. I am deeply pleased and hereby ennoble him as King Xiaoyao. I hope he will abide by his original intentions and uphold the law. I decree this!"
When Ye Feiyu heard this, even a dumb person would have understood that his father was openly conferring an honor, but he also understood the hidden meanings of the words in the imperial edict, especially the last two sentences.
"Your son accepts the order!" Ye Feiyu lowered his head and raised his hands above his head.
The eunuch who was in charge of issuing the imperial edict put the imperial edict into Ye Feiyu's hands.
After Ye Feiyu took it, he slowly stood up, and the servant behind him immediately stepped forward to clean the dust off his body.
"Congratulations to King Xiaoyao! Tomorrow is King Xiaoyao's wedding day, and I am here to share in his joy." The eunuch said with a smile.
Ye Feiyu curled his lips and said, "Come here, reward!"
The eunuch's smile widened immediately and he said, "Thank you, King Xiaoyao!"
The eunuch received the reward and did not stay long, but headed towards the palace.
Ye Feiyu turned around and personally lifted the red silk wrapped around the plaque.
Four large gold-plated characters "Xiaoyao Palace" come into view.
The characters were written with great skill and vigor, appearing particularly imposing. In addition, there was a large seal written by the emperor himself.
"Your Highness, I will send someone to hang up the plaque right away," said the servant.
Ye Feiyu clenched his fists and nodded.
In a luxuriously furnished study, a man with a short white beard sat at the desk, his shrewd eyes narrowed as he muttered, "Free and Easy Prince, huh? Does that mean he's going to be a carefree and idle prince?"
"Someone come!"
Soon, a plain-looking man in black walked in from outside, clasped his fists respectfully and said, "What are your orders, my Lord?"
"Feng Wan is getting married tomorrow. Is everything ready?"
"My Lord, everything is ready."
"Well, you have to be on high alert tomorrow. No accidents can happen. Got it?"
The man in black nodded.
The old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go down..."
The man in black turned around and opened the door.
Looking at the closed door, he muttered to himself, "I've lived this long, how could I not see your tricks? I'm afraid you're not good enough to fight me. It's time to find someone else in this position!"
Lan Xianxian in the palace also looked a little unhappy after hearing Ye Feiyu's title. She also understood the meaning of Xiaoyao...
"Are you really treating your own son like this? He's your legitimate son! Is it just because he has half of the Lan family's blood flowing in his body?"
Lan Xianxian closed her eyes after she finished speaking, took a deep breath, and then muttered to herself, "I was so concerned about the relationship between husband and wife before, but now it seems that I was just being sentimental. Well, since you treat Feiyu like this, I will also destroy your beloved son."
A sharp light flashed in Lan Xianxian's eyes, and Jing Chen's face, which was somewhat similar to Su Qingrou, appeared in her mind. The hatred in her heart became even stronger. This time she would not show mercy.
At dawn the next day, the entire capital was already bustling with people. Everyone had come to see this grand wedding. What a magnificent scene it was. Many people gathered at the gates of Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion to watch the excitement.
