Chapter 231: Wei Yingying
"Today we are discussing their marriage," the emperor said.
Wei Zhongxian immediately switched roles, grinning lecherously, "Your Highness and my daughter have been childhood sweethearts, and a perfect match is the best thing ever. Not only you, but I, too, would be happy to see it happen."
Hearing this, the emperor laughed heartily.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's ask the Imperial Household Department to find an auspicious day."
The two of them were chatting happily, but it was obvious that Yuchi Shuo was not happy at all.
The young lady next to him was also very beautiful, with a pink little face, eyebrows like distant mountains, and a pair of dreamy eyes. She had been smiling quietly since she came in. She was observing his every move and seemed to be in a very happy mood.
In reality, Wei Yingying and Yuchi Shuo had known each other since childhood and had a very good relationship. This marriage had been finalized many years ago, but both families were waiting, waiting for Wei Yingying to grow up, and waiting...
Wait for Yuchi Shuo to accept.
Yuchi Shuo was not willing to marry Wei Zhongxian's daughter. Wei Zhongxian was a sinister man, and his daughter was not much better. But there were many things that were beyond his control.
"Brother Crown Prince." Wei Yingying looked at him with a smile.
He didn't respond.
Wei Zhongxian and the emperor were having a good chat. Seeing that Yuchi Shuo seemed worried, the emperor said, "Take Yingying out for a walk. You haven't seen each other for a long time."
Wei Yingying moved closer to him and took advantage of the situation by grabbing Yuchi Shuo's hand.
It's like declaring sovereignty.
"Your Highness, brother."
Yuchi Shuo was extremely reluctant, but now he could neither get angry nor lose his temper. After coming out, he fiercely shook off Wei Yingying's hand.
Wei Yingying was chasing after him, running backwards with great difficulty.
"Brother Crown Prince, you haven't been back for a long time. Did you bring any gifts for Yingying?"
"Get out of here!" Yuchi Shuo hated this follower so much that the gift was a scolding. Wei Yingying shuddered and froze in her place. Then she burst into tears. Yuchi Shuo leaned closer to her and said, "Stop acting like that. There's no way we can be together."
"But we are childhood sweethearts. Unless you have a sweetheart, this marriage is favored by the Emperor and my father. Can you go back on your word?"
"When did I ever agree to marry you as my Crown Princess? Don't be so delusional. As long as I'm still alive, I won't agree to this."
Seeing his resolute attitude, Wei Yingying was stunned and looked at him in astonishment.
Until that cold and arrogant figure disappeared.
Wei Yingying was still sobbing just now, but she stood up at this moment. She clenched her fists tightly, and her sharp nails dug into the palms of her hands. The pain, the slight pain, made her sober.
The pain was like a wild beast chasing her, inspiring her to do what she should do and complete the plans she should complete.
Yes, she is not as naive as she looks.
Over the years, Wei Zhongxian had taught her knowledge of literature and etiquette, and also taught her the nitpicking of words and the Six Strategies and Three Strategies of Sun Tzu's Art of War. She couldn't just give up so easily.
Watching Yuchi Shuo leave, Wei Yingying stood silently in the distance.
Yuchi Shuo walked out of the Qiankun Palace Square in one breath and saw Gu Feixue from a distance.
Gu Feixue was dejected. She never thought that after going through so much hardship to reach the palace, she would get such a disappointing ending.
It turned out that everything was just as my mother said. There was no such thing as monogamy in the royal world.
Now Gu Feixue no longer thinks about this matter.
Yuchi Shuo approached her, and Gu Feixue turned around and gave him a perfect smile.
But her heart ached. If only she could protect and accompany him in another way, she would be very happy.
The two looked at each other.
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations?" Yuchi Shuo, who was being blessed, was confused. "What's the source of the joy?"
"This is such a blessing from heaven," Gu Feixue said unwillingly, "Your Highness is now about to be married to Wei Yingying, so naturally he is filled with joy."
"It's a pity that I'm not happy at all."
Gu Feixue stopped talking. When she saw her brother and Zheng Yannian, she hurried to look for them.
Yuchi Shuo felt a little sad. He couldn't imagine why his father would make such arrangements.
Before arriving at the palace, Gu Feixue and he had a very good relationship, and their intimacy kept rising. However, after arriving at the palace, Gu Feixue deliberately distanced herself from him, which made him discouraged and frustrated, but he could do nothing about it.
Gu Feixue went out.
He saw Zheng Yannian, who was chatting with Gu Tingchuan. "Although I am hiding my identity now, I will definitely make a name for myself in the future. This Imperial Capital is different from the outside world, so you can rest assured."
Being able to be a General of Cavalry is already an honor. Rather than saying that the emperor values Gu Tingchuan, it is better to say that the emperor values the person recommended by Duke Zheng more.
"Thank you, Master, for your teaching and cultivation." Isn't this an expression of gratitude towards Zheng Yannian?
Seeing that Gu Feixue had arrived, Zheng Yannian smiled.
"You don't look very happy?"
"How could that be?" Gu Feixue forced a smile. "Now that we're in the Imperial Capital, I can finally find evidence to clear my family's name. How could I not be happy?"
Deliberately pretending to be happy.
"He..." Zheng Yannian looked behind him, "He had no choice. All members of the royal family are like this."
"Master, what are you talking about?" Gu Feixue smiled deliberately.
After Zheng Yannian left, Gu Feixue approached Amogong and asked, "Master, have you achieved what you wished for?"
"Master has gotten what he wanted, but what about you?"
"I," Gu Feixue explained anxiously, fearing that others would see through her, "the family feud will soon be resolved. How could I not be happy?"
A Mogong sighed, "Xue'er, don't hold on." After the two of them left, Gu Feixue approached Gu Tingchuan. She hadn't taken a walk with her brother for a long time, and she hadn't talked with her brother for a long time.
At this moment, the two looked at each other, and Gu Tingchuan finally spoke, "I know you're upset, but in fact, isn't this also a natural thing? He and we are completely different."
"Brother, stop talking. The reason we came to the Imperial Capital is for our family..."
The two of them went far away.
Inside the Qiankun Palace, the emperor was coughing violently.
Along with a panic-stricken cough, a lavender wireworm-like thing appeared between the emperor's eyebrows. The worm was very excited and kept making trouble inside. The maid next to him seemed to be accustomed to this situation.
At this moment, the emperor was facing several ministers.
"I know I'm being unfair to him, but there's no other way. I'm on the verge of death, and I must let him take complete control of the future."
Everyone understands and appreciates the emperor.
But only Yuchi Shuo didn't understand.
The emperor clearly hated Wei Zhongxian's family the most, but why did he want to sacrifice himself?
He didn't sleep all night and had dark circles under his eyes when he woke up in the morning.
When I got up, Wei Yingying arrived. She was dressed up beautifully and brought a lot of gifts. There were all kinds of things in the house.
