Chapter 21 Prince Yong's Marriage Proposal



Chapter 21 Prince Yong's Marriage Proposal

"Are you deaf? Of course it's my Prince Yong who is proposing to the Saint!"

The other party obviously didn't recognize Xiao Bicheng and looked impatient. |

"How dare you! How dare you talk to me like that? I'll kill him!"

Xiao Bicheng was instantly furious, and he didn't know whether it was because of the other party's disrespectful attitude or because he heard the news that Prince Yong proposed to Bai Yingxue.

Xie Zhuoning quickly grabbed Xiao Bicheng and gently advised, "Brother Crown Prince, you must not do this. If you kill him in the street, you will be charged with murdering an innocent person."

"Prince..." Hearing this, the other party was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy, "I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

This loud shout attracted many people to look over.

Xiao Bicheng was also much more sober at this time.

If he killed someone in the street right now, the reputation he had built up before would be destroyed in an instant.

"Forget it. Be more careful next time." He could only pretend to be magnanimous and waved his hand and returned to the carriage.

But the bulging veins on his forehead showed that his anger had not yet subsided.

"Prince Yong is a widower, and his son is already so grown up, how can he have the nerve to propose marriage?"

As he spoke, he slammed his hand on the table, causing a lot of tea in the cup to spill out.

Xie Zhuoning seemed not to notice and even added fuel to the fire, "I think there is nothing wrong with Miss Bai marrying His Royal Highness Prince Yong."

"Do you know what you are saying?" Xiao Bicheng turned his head to look at her, his eyes were icy cold, as if he wanted to eat someone.

"Isn't it?" Xie Zhuoning was not afraid of him and continued talking about his own things.

"It has been many years since Princess Yong passed away, but Prince Yong has not remarried or taken a concubine, which shows that he is a man who values ​​love and friendship. Moreover, the prince has grown up, and Miss Bai will be his legal wife once she marries him. She doesn't have to raise a stepchild, and her life will be so comfortable!"

Xiao Bicheng stared at her with a look of disappointment on his face. "I thought Sister Zhuoning was kind-hearted, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious! Yingxue is only 29 years old, and Prince Yong can be her father. Aren't you pushing her into the fire pit?"

Xie Zhuoning: “???”

No, there's nothing wrong with his brain, right?

It was Prince Yong who proposed the marriage, not her, so why was Xiao Bicheng so angry at her?

But in a flash, she was not annoyed at all, but showed a look of regret, "I'm sorry, Prince brother, I was too superficial, I only thought about Miss Bai having a respectable marriage, but forgot her identity as a saint."

"Whoever gets the Saint Girl gets the world. If Prince Yong marries Miss Bai, won't he be able to compete with the Crown Prince?"

"No, Prince Brother must quickly find a way to stop Miss Bai from marrying Prince Yong!"

Her considerate words touched Xiao Bichen's heart.

"Sister Zhuo Ning is the one who understands me the best."

Thinking that his words just now were a bit harsh, he pretended to hug Xie Zhuoning and coax him.

However, Xie Zhuoning stretched out his hand to push her away, and urged her urgently, "Brother Crown Prince, you should go quickly. If Miss Bai agrees to Prince Yong's proposal, it will be too late for everything."

"Xue'er won't agree." Xiao Bicheng looked determined.

But he immediately got off the carriage, jumped on the horse, and galloped towards Bai's house.

Xie Zhuoning looked at his impatient figure and raised the corners of his lips in sarcasm.

It seemed that he had acted so submissive that Xiao Bicheng really thought he could not leave him, so he became even more unscrupulous when he mentioned Bai Yingxue in front of him.

Cher...

What a friendly way you sound.

"Xia Ju." She called softly, "Let's go and see what's going on."

Prince Yong proposed marriage with full sincerity.

The betrothal gifts alone filled the entire street, attracting half of the people in the capital to watch curiously.

All Xie Zhuoning had to do was find a teahouse, sit down, order a cup of tea, and eat some melon seeds, and he would be able to hear an endless stream of gossip.

"The latest news, the latest news, His Royal Highness Prince Yong's marriage proposal was rejected! Lord Bai said that Mrs. Bai is not in good health and wants to keep his daughter by his side for a few more years!"

"Of course I have to refuse. Bai Weiqing is the prince's tutor, but his daughter married the prince's mortal enemy. How will he handle himself in the officialdom in the future?"

"What was Prince Yong's reaction?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Yong said that it doesn't matter how many years you stay, just arrange the marriage first, and it won't be too late to welcome the bride later."

"Tsk tsk, isn't this a forced marriage? He's making such a big show, who would dare to marry Miss Bai in the future?"

Xie Zhuoning not only listened, but also joined in the discussion, prompting everyone to agree with him.

"Yes, that's right."

"Isn't it?"

Just when we were talking excitedly, new news came.

"Hey, guess who went to the Bai family? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The gossip fire in everyone's eyes was burning, "Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also go to propose marriage?"

"That's not the case. It seems that he went to oppose Prince Yong's marriage proposal."

"What kind of talk is that?" Xie Zhuoning slammed the table. "Marriage is a big deal. It's decided by the parents and the matchmaker. Even if he is the crown prince, he has no right to oppose someone else's marriage proposal!"

"That's right."

"And then? Did they succeed in stopping it?" Everyone was extremely curious.

"Success? His Royal Highness Prince Yong didn't even take the Crown Prince seriously and had him chased out. The Crown Prince was so angry that he immediately ordered two battalions of the Capital Army to be dispatched. If I hadn't escaped quickly, I would have been implicated!"

The person who spoke touched his chest with a look of fear on his face.

Xie Zhuoning was stunned and a little surprised.

She didn't expect that Xiao Bicheng would dare to violate the rules and dispatch troops into the city for Bai Yingxue.

Doesn't he know what the consequences will be?

"He went all out for his beloved, this is true love!"

She originally just wanted to give Xiao Bicheng a push and speed up the process of breaking off the engagement, but she didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.

The memorial to the Crown Prince when he goes to court tomorrow will probably have to be two meters and eighty centimeters high, right?

Just when she thought the cancellation of the engagement was a sure thing, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the street.

Xiao Jinxuan rushed to Bai's house with the imperial edict in hand.

The emperor directly ordered the saint to enter the national temple to pray for the country.

As for marriage, after his health recovers, he will personally choose a suitable husband for the saint!

In this way, Prince Yong's thoughts were blocked and the prince's flames were extinguished.

It’s the best of both worlds.

I heard that this was the idea that Prince Xuan gave to His Majesty.

The smoke of gunpowder disappeared without a trace, leaving only Xie Zhuoning screaming in anger.

"Xiao, Jin, Xuan!" She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

This guy is here to ruin her business again!

It is obvious that all he needs to do now is to push Xiao Bicheng again. In order to prevent Prince Yong from succeeding, he will definitely marry Bai Yingxue.

But the Eastern Palace cannot have two princesses. How can the Saint, with such a noble status, be humbled and become a concubine?

Then wouldn't it be natural for me to break off the engagement?

But now, everything is ruined!

Xie Zhuoning glared at Xiao Jinxuan across the crowd, angrily lifted up her skirt, and got on the carriage to go home.

Xiao Jinxuan turned around in surprise.

Why does my neck feel cool?
